Drinking party at the bar at 8pm. Under 21 only. Adults will be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Fun and games included, party hats optional. Don’t be late!

[Sure enough, there’s a gathering of teens (and maybe some not-so-teens?) to be found in the bar! While the posting mentions this is a teen only event, adults are in fact allowed as long as they are cool. OOCLY please be aware there are going to be teens drinking alcohol and possibly smoking! Also additionally, please let the teens/players have fun; again, adults are allowed but only if they’re cool enough to play along without snitching them out!

All party game top levels are going to be made under Ahito’s account but please assume ICly that Akira instigated/explained them! Once the game toplevels are up you can also post your own toplevels to mingle freely if you like IDK IT’S A PARTY HAVE FUN]

And there's a bunch of names that keep poppin' up across them too... Maybe the universe just has a favourite set of variables.

[dyingtohealyou]

Wait, really? Like what?

[troublereduction]

"Japan", mainly. I think it's a place?

[dyingtohealyou]

Oh, yeah. I guess Akira, Shinjiro, and Yamato are from there?

[At the very least...]

Shinjiro said my name sounds Japanese, too.

[fellheart]

[ remarked, from over at his spot on the bar: ]

There's at least a few more. Leo was able to translate a journal or two for me in exchange for coffee early on.

[ why is this japan place so popular ... ]

[dyingtohealyou]

Oh yeah, I remember someone mentioning him, too!

[What is this mysterious Japan...]

[fellheart]

I suppose one can make an educated guess at some of the others by the structure of their names, perhaps? Still, then we run into issues like your name supposedly sounding Japanese...

[ japan, a place so mythical not even legends speak of it... ]

[dyingtohealyou]

Yeah, they keep thinking I'm from Japan, too.

[Japanese-sounding enough to fool even the actual Japanese folk...]

[troublereduction]

Huh...To me, your name sounds like someone from the East, mostly.

[ Applicable to all the actually Japanese people in the manor, too. ]

Kinda weird how some things have different contexts across worlds.

[dyingtohealyou]

Especially weird when it's not even the same language...

[troublereduction]

Right? I can't read any of the books in the library. And I bet if I wrote somethin' in one of the languages I know, no one else in the manor'd be able to read it.

[dyingtohealyou]

It's a real pain.

[fellheart]

What I want to know is why a significant number of the incantations here uses a language that resembles one of the dead languages of my world.

[ this just in, some of the ancient text from femblem was written in corrupted greek and latin, then just run through a cipher for the script...

why do spirits respond to ancient valentian??? ]
