It's a party! Cathy and Liz had their first real honest live-fire people-are-trying-to-kill-us-but-we're-alive deployment at Nora, and not only did they successfully not die, they even helped save the day! Setsuko likewise had her own professional debut in the field of not-dying during the hostage rescue! Good Idea Bear Cathy of course decided this calls for a night on the town. The Star Rose! Tourists, socialites, and Nora refugees looking to celebrate their own not-dying! Dinner! Drinks! Dancing! Young adults in high-risk professions bonding!
1. [semi-locked to invitees]
Setsuko seems the skittish sort, so Cathy's easing in to this with a simple meal in a nice restaurant - there are plenty of those in a location like the Star Rose! She's found a moderately classy Indonesian place, but not so classy as to throw off the mood for the rest of the evening she has planned. Of course, the more's the merrier, so she's sounded out a few other of the soldier types of drinking age in the Unity Group to come along!
[Please ping me if you want to be one of the people invited! Of course, you might still run in to the group regardless, here or in the second prompt.]
2. [free for all]
Food's good and all, but its real function is to give soakage for drinks and energy for dancing! Do you stick with the group as they hit the bars and clubs, or run in to them there?
3. [point and laugh]
The morning after the night before! Well, morning by the clock, anyway, even if they kind of blended together. Whoever've lasted through the night are making their way home, some with some practice, others stumblingly. Are you among them, or up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to mock their debauchery?
[Let's say this takes place after the Symphormers mission but before Macross. Continuity is flexible, so you can still be hungover for the latter, or not.]

[Setsuko approaches, dressed casually, her hair up in a ponytail. Also, she is second-guessing pretty much every choice made up to this point.]
So. I am here now.
From:
no subject
[Cathy's a little more dressed up, with a couple of layers she can moult out of as the evening wears on and the dancing begins. She's got her hair half braided up out of her eyes, but enough of it down to frame her face when she shakes her head.]
One of the mechanics recommended this place. Apparently the beef rendang is good.

Is anyone else coming?

Maybe we just look so great that we're totally intimidating and unapproachable. That must be it.
Try to look like less of a catch.
From:
no subject
[Setsuko looks bewildered.]
I'm not so easily intimidated! You don't mind if I sweep you away then, do you?
[Hey, a random Toby approaches.]
From:
no subject
[Has this girl never had to deal with people showing interest in her? Cathy will have to keep an eye on her tonight, in that case. She mentally reorders the list of possible destinations for later in the evening, already weighted towards the tame end of the spectrum, to be even more so.
Still, her teasing either did the trick or was just well-timed! She grins at Toby as he appears.]
Buy us dinner first, Lieutenant.

Tonight however she runs into friends as she notices Cathy, Liz and the others.
"Hey I did't expect to see some people I know here! Hows it going! Mind if I join you ladies for a bit I'm sure we can find some fun..."

[More people start to appear, and it gets livelier. Not TOO lively, Setsuko hopes.]
So do we go in now?
From:
no subject
[Setsuko waves happily, if in a slightly uncoordinated fashion.]
Alright, come with us. I don't mind!
Setsuko had a bit to drink. Don't mind her either.

Sorry about that, Corporation business.

[You know, even if he's not brought it up directly to anyone... the high school clothes probably mean Ken shouldn't really be here. In fact, given he wasn't invited, where'd he come from?]
T-Though... its not that much of a hassle if you have an extra, right?
[He suddenly turns quite sheepish.]
From:
Very very late into 2
He's gazing out at the Earth below through one of the observation decks of Star Rose. There's an empty glass to the side of him.]
So much for drinking to forget...
From:

[May stops next to you, Willis. And not drunk because she hasn't taken a single shot.]
...What's gotten you thinking?
[She has some idea, but there's a lot that should be bothering someone like him, after all.]

[He holds up the empty glass and shakes it.]
Things are a bit harder for me than most people.

[She leans her back against the wall and folds her arms across her chest.]
I thought it was strange that she's not here.

[He doesn't need to say much else, May's guess was pretty much spot on.]
From:

...What happened?
You two were so close, I didn't think it'd be possible to separate you.
From:
no subject
[Which he quickly wraps around May and Cathy's waists to escort them into the restaurant. He has his priorities straight here. Ken's presence is either not noticed or it's not being acknowledged. Never get between a man and his flirting.]
I guess I'll have to leave Setsuko to you Toby.
From:
no subject
...it's complicated. I'll just leave it at that.
