Cornered Party-cipant

#41 - Party Time

Your character got wrangled into going to a party. Show what your character would spend the whole time doing. Dancing? Socializing? Hiding in a corner?

 

"Hello, did you need me? No? Then why are you looking at me like that? I was invited, too..."

 

Honestly, no one really knows why they bother inviting Paiko to any events. Most of the time, it seems that the little half-drakon doesn't even show up - until he lets out a comment the next day about something he overheard at the party. Which is around the same time that everyone realizes how many hiding places there are in a room full of tables and people.

Well, it's not like he's trying to avoid people completely; in fact, he feels a certain comfort around crowds. Just not in the middle of them, as the center of attention. Hence why he insists that no one try to throw a celebration for his own anniversary of rescue. 

Statistically, the most likely places to find him at a party are in the corner near the snack table, or the karaoke room. (But only when no one else is around.)

-

Right: featuring Telerand, a shiny new OC I spontaneously made using random playlist shuffle methods ^-^ (Thanks to CrazyShiro for the idea!)

He's a dimensionally-adjusted human, specializing in short-burst time travel that isn't that useful for seeing the past or the future, but more useful for avoiding obstacles in the present time. That ability makes him a great field guy/scout/rescuer, though his long-term goal is to reach Visor status one day.

Many of his peers believed he would've made a great Rift Patroller. Somewhat of a shame he decided to join the other side instead.

    Ah Paiko is like my own double at parties XD I'm always hiding by the food table so no one really has their attention on me too

    (Also just dying of cuteness of the noms)

    Hiding under the table would be even safer - nobody would be able to see him thanks to that tablecloth. On the other hand he wouldn't be able to see which food he is trying to grab. Smile

      Ahaa Big Smile he does normally like to hide beneath tables to eavesdrop on people, but grabbing things without being able to see them is something he has stopped doing... for multiple reasons (one of them being the one you mentioned).

      The other reason: Someone got freaked out from seeing a hand, and they stomped down very hard on poor Paiko's fingers.

    This is a great way to party. Hiding in a corner by the food.

    Great expressions on the both of them Big Smile

      When your mouth is full of food, you don't have to worry about talking to people Wink

      Thank you! ^v^

    next to the buffet table is ALWAYS the best spot - you get to eat to your heart's content, absorb all the party essence from a safe distance, and mayhaps overhear some scandal~ Especially for a sneaky lil fella!
    Paiko's got the right idea XD

    (Also lovin Teleran's colour palette!!)

      Exactly! Paiko knows where the heart of the party is at (with minimal socializing effort on his behalf) Big Smile

      (Thank you! Or, thank whoever did the art for that music video haha Wink It was playlist-generated, based on the thumbnail image of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HOybU6fKQg)

          We have one game on the old DS (Ocarina of Time), and I would watch my little sister play it! And there's one animator on YouTube who does adorable Link and Zelda sketches ^-^

          When it comes to Nintendo, I'm much more a Kirby and Mario player. But all the Nintendo video game soundtracks are amazing Big Smile

    his little plate ❤ paiko our beloved
    • Dec 4, 2022, 2:40:31 PM UTC
      Yep, the plate is his party pal for the entire night, they spend lots of time together ^-^

      I've discovered he likes any foods that have fillings in them - sandwiches, pies, those yummy custard breads, chocolate-filled wafer straws...
