Entry tags:
a most heart-pounding welcome to you all
Who: Azul Ashengrotto, and YOU!!!!
Status: Open
Where: Mostro Lounge
What: As previously announced, the Mostro Lounge is holding a celebration for Halloween/Ghoul's Moon for the month of October! Stop on by and take part in deals on treats, activities, and the costume contest while you're able!
Warnings: One of the prompts contains potions that will induce temporary effects to whoever drinks them, but these effects are meant to be harmless. Will add anything else here if something comes up in any threads that require it, but this is primarily a log to allow creating your own starter for festivities at the Lounge and tagging out to each other as desired!
[Prompts are below in their own separate tag headers, feel free to make toplevels in whichever option speaks to you the most!! If you have any questions at all or are not sure about something, feel free to PM this journal or shoot me a message on Plurk or Discord!
The only main rules Azul has for the Lounge is: nothing that isn't family friendly appropriate, don't break anything, don't try to get into any rooms marked for staff only unless you are in fact staff, and don't dine and dash, or else characters may face ~consequences~ lol]

[For some reason, Naminé seems pretty reassuring. Surely she won't judge him too hard, right..?]
[With a sigh, he idly moves to tug on the stray strand of hair in front of his face as a nervous tick.]
Well, it's just... back at school, in my world, when I was Champion... I was a real jerk to a lotta folks. I think I'd wanna forget all that if I could.
no subject
[ She would ask what he really means by being a jerk, but she gets that he doesn't really want to talk about it. Picking at it more just really seems cruel. ]
Would you really want to forget it?
no subject
[Kieran sighs, trying to find the right words. Why was talking about things like this always so hard? Maybe it's the potion helping him, but as he begins to talk, more words begin to fall from his mouth.]
Y'see, I was... not really a good person back then. I felt real hurt by a friend of mine, and thought that they didn't care for me because I was weak. So thought if I was just as strong as 'em, I'd be able to show 'em how far I'd come, and that I wasn't just some pushover kid. So I trained an' trained, until I became my school's Champion. But even though I got stronger, I... really pushed myself and my Pokemon, prob'ly more than I needed. And I was a real jerk to anyone around me, even other League Club members. I kicked a few people outta the Club if I thought they weren't takin' it serious, and even scared off a few people. I just... really feel bad, y'know? Especially for how I treated my friends, an' my sis...

That says a lot of really good things about you, that you can tell you weren't good to people and feel guilty over it. You try to be nice to people here, right?
no subject
[Oh... Kieran glances away and fidgets with that loose strand of hair, but there's a light blush on his face. He's not used to being on the receiving end of praise.]
Y-Yeah, I do try to be nice to folks here. I've had a lotta time to clear my head, and I'm not as mad as I was. So... I guess I did learn from it.
no subject
[ She says it firmly with a steady smile that she tries to make as encouraging as she can. Hopefully she's doing a decent job of it. ]
I'm glad you're not as mad. Anger can cause a lot of pain for everyone. It sounds like you're doing your best to make up for what you've done in the past and that's all anyone can do, right?
[ From experience. ]
no subject
[Kieran keeps fidgeting, but now there's a sheepish smile on his face along with that light flush.]
no subject
Wellllll whose to say you're not? Maybe you've grown into one. [ Got him there! ]
no subject
[How can he be old and wise!! But Kieran's grin is more genuine now.]
Y'know, that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!
no subject
[ Yes, maybe she is. But only a tiny bit. ]
I'm glad it wasn't that bad after all.
no subject
Yeah... oh, uh, I guess it's your turn now, huh?
[He glances over to the potion punch bowl. Did they wanna keep going?]
no subject
[ Seems fair. ]
no subject
[He's trying to be polite.]
no subject
[ She's really easy to please. ]
no subject
Y'know, how's about this; we can stop the game here, and then we can play again when we aren't drinkin' any weird potions to make us say embarrassin' things?
