She was probably the most late out of all the guests. But there was a...slightly good reason for it. And she wasn't particularly favorable of the 'reason'.
You are to inspect every last meal before you shovel it down your throat. It is to be warm, not cold. Also if it isn't tender enough you will dispose of it. No daughter of mine will eat uncooked meals!
Hence the reason she was carrying a small notepad and a 0.7mm lead pencil with her. She felt more like a health inspector rather than a simple guest. She tapped the pencil on the closed notepad as the limo arrived closer to the destination, wondering if the driver would notice if she left the notepad and pencil inside.
She was wearing her dark green vest, with a yellow collared shirt underneath it. Dark blue shorts went down to her knees and white stockings and blue sneakers covered the rest of her legs and a pair of white fingerless gloves (albeit her mother bought them for her but she cut off the finger sleeves).
"Now, Tarii dearest," her mother addressed her, looking back to her daughter from the front seat. "I know your father's task seems a bit...repetitive," there she went again. Big words don't make you smarter unfortunately, "but just try and go along with it, even if you don't want to."
Tarii rolled her eyes once her mother turned away from their eye contact and she opened the limo door steadily, stepping out of the car. She heard her mother faintly say that she would pick Tarii up when the party was over and sighed. She found a trashcan near the entrance, taking one last look at the pad and pencil and throwing them in.
This is going to be a long day, she thought as she headed towards the entrance.

Grinning at Satu, she gave a little shake of her head. "Poor Satu-kun! At least you got to loosen everything a little once you got here, hm?" Then, eying her bare feet, the girl hid another grin. "Yeah, and since I tend to fall a lot even when I'm wearing normal shoes, think about how I'd be if I wore those heels for the whole day." She made a face, before laughing. Not a pretty thought, indeed.
"Mm...I guess a lot of us may be like that, hm?" She replied, to Kiyoshi. "Well! We can make up for it now! I don't know many games though..." A frown spread itself over her face as she rose a hand, tapping at her chin thoughtfully.
Giggling at Chihaya, she clasped her hands together cheerily. "It's really good to see you again, Chiya-chan! Have you been well?" Then, looking over at Minori, she bounced over to her fellow 1-A classmate, throwing her arms around the other girl's neck and peering over her shoulder. "Heehee! This is my classmate, Minori-chan!"
Gaze flickering to the entrance, yet another smile found it's way to her face. Raising her hand, she gave a rather furious wave to Tarii. "Tarii-chan!"

As a shrill happy cry was launched at her Tarii cringed. Takara Mitsuko. Wonderful. Who else was here? Gazing around, deciding to ignore the brunette girl, she took notes of others around the party. She noticed Satu was here, so was Chihaya who was in her also in her class, but there were two others that she didn't meet yet. Probably from 1A, she thought to herself, racking her mind over who they were. Yet she kept riding up a blank.
The ebony black haired girl scouted her eyes around some more to find the gourmet table. Remembering she threw out her notepad and pencil she smiled to herself. It seemed like a lot of food was there so having to taste it all and then note it's flavor and if it was cooked enough would be a bother.
She finally decided though that she would have to talk to Mitsuko eventually, even though she truly wasn't in any mood to do so. Tarii raised her hand, waving back a little to the ecstatic girl.

Satu smiled. "If my parents saw what I had done to my outfit they would certianly not be amused." he said laughing quietly imagioning his mothers face. He laughed at the thought of Mitsuko in heels. "Well I bet your much more comfortable now right?" he said happily.
Satu tried to think. "Hum I don't know many games either. We were never really allowed to play them." he said, his voice trailing off. "Someone around here has to know one though. Sorry I can't help!" he added laughing.
He turned around as Mitsuko started waving. It was Tarii. He hadn't really talked to her since the day in the mall. He had had a fun time, now that he thought about it. He smiled at her and raised his hand to wave at her.

Minori grinned back at Satu. "Thank you, Sensei. You look great too." She was joking about the 'Sensei' though, it was something that had arosen when he agreed to teach her how to play the violin.
Minori stifled a giggle as she watched Mitsuko stick her tongue out and at of all people, her guards. The two of them gave the girl cocked eyebrows and decided to ignore it.
Chiya. The girl grinned back, almost embarrassed. Well, it was a good thing Roka-kun wasn't here yet.
"My mother dressed me today too." The girl admitted with a wince. She kept wishing that she would be given some...privacy of her own.
At the sudden thrust of Mitsuko's arms around her neck, brown eyes widened slightly then she laughed, both of them twinkling. "Hello Chiya-chan."

"Your parents dressed you?" Kiyoshi asked curiously, frowning slightly at the thought, as he directed the question at the two females. Running a hand through his long hair, the male continued, "That is... Rather unreasonable, isn't it? Since it's a party, you should be entitled the right to pick your own clothes."
He hesitated, pausing after this statement, wondering if 'unreasonable' was a suitable word to use, since it seemed to be rather harsh. However, being raised in a family where both parents worked as fashion designers, he was taught from young to choose his own clothes judging from the occasion and his own preferences. Thus, if anyone wanted to dress him for an occasion other than if he was modeling for say, his mother, it would offend him.
"Young master Kiyoshi!" An exclamation came from behind him, and an elderly man appeared, carrying a tray with glasses of juice on it. He had wispy white hair that resembled snow, a smile that lit up all the wrinkles on his face, and twinkling brown eyes. "Ah, I'm glad that i had insisted on tagging along... I heard you talk about 'commoner games'?"
"Yes," Kiyoshi smiled, "Do you have something in mind, Jerry?"
"A game called 'Truth Or Dare'," Jerry laughed, bowing to the guests, the tray of drinks still balanced on his palm. Standing up straight again, he winked, "I am Jerry, the Yamada family's butler, and oldest serving servant, both literally and figuratively. I welcome everyone to Young Master's little gathering."
"Truth Or Dare?"
"Yes, most of you wouldn't have heard of the game," Jerry smiled as he walked towards the small crowd. Lowering the tray, he offered the drinks to the guests. There were fruit juice of every kind; apple, orange, watermelon, mango, and even dragon fruit. "All the players sit in a circle, and place an object in the middle that can be spun. For example, a bottle. The bottle will then be spun, and where the mouth points will be the 'victim'. The 'victim' will then be asked to choose between two options, namely Truth or Dare."
Jerry paused, looking around to make sure that everyone was still listening before he continued, "If the 'victim' choose Truth, he will be asked a question whereby he must say the truth. If he choose Dare, he will be dared to do something within a time limit. For the first option, if someone knows that he is lying with an evidence, the 'victim' must perform a forfeit. For the latter, if the 'victim' is unable to perform the dare within the given time, he must also perform a forfeit. I used to play it in my younger days. Ah! Those were fun times!"
Kiyoshi stayed silent for a minute, the possibilities swirling in his head. Slowly, he gave a nod before looking at everyone else, "So... Is everyone in favor of this game?"
{I took over Mitsuko's job of suggesting a game. =P
Details of Truth Or Dare:
- Those who want their character to be the 'victim' at least once, please say so in your RP post OOCly. We will then skip the 'Bottle' (see below) until all the requests are done.
- Please also state what your character wants to do. For example, you want your character to be dared to dress up as a female.
- For forfeits, it's up to you. If you want your character to perform a forfeit, go ahead. xD It won't be pretty though, I'll make sure. >D
- The 'Bottle' used will be Gaia's randomizer. I know it hates high numbers, so everyone will have to choose 3 numbers. There should be 6 people in this RP currently, at the time of this post.
-Everyone is to choose 3 numbers between 1 to 50, no two numbers can be within 5 numbers of each other.
- In the chance where nobody's number was landed by the randomizer, the closest chosen number will be taken. In the case where the number is in the middle of two chosen numbers, the higher number will be chosen.
For example:
Kiyoshi's numbers are 5, 16 and 30 and Minori's numbers are 14, 28 and 46.
The randomizer landed on 29, thus Kiyoshi will be the 'victim' as his number is the higher one, although both 28 and 30 are one number after / before 29.
Taking the same numbers for Kiyoshi and Minori, if the randomizer lands on 10, Kiyoshi will still be the 'victim' as 14 is closer to 10 than 5 or 16.
- The first person to post after every Truth, Dare or forfeit had been fulfilled, will generate a random number between 1 and 50 to choose the next 'victim'.
- Any questions? Ask OOCly.}
{Edit:
Numbers for Kiyoshi: 7, 18 and 43. =D}

"Yup, Chihaya. You may call me Chiya, like everyone else does, Satu...san." She laughed, full of mirth. "Sorry. Satu. Hmm, we haven't talked even though we're classmates, but starting now isn't half-bad either, right?" Another laugh. New friends. That was what parties were about. Not business relationships, but your own.
Speaking of new friends, there was a new-comer... another of her classmates. Her face was familiar but no name came to mind. "Um..Hello, ..." She paused for a moment, deep in thought. AH. It struck her at last. "Tarii-san, was it?" She was sure she was right. "I've never really talked to you either, right? I'm Chihaya, but I think you should know that by now. Pleased to meet you!"
"Oh." Chihaya smiled and lifted her hand to resemble a sort of stationary wave. "Yo, Minori-san!" She watched as Mistuko showed outright defiance to the security guards and couldn't help but let out a muted laugh. "You really shouldn't do that," She said, good-naturedly. "They're just doing their jobs. But it's funny, though!" Adding the last bit as an afterthought.
"You don't get to dress yourselves? I agree wholeheartedly with Kiyoshi. It isn't really fair if you don't get to pick your own clothes. There is quite an age gap, after all." She paused again, thinking. "Not to offend anyone...really."
She guessed she was lucky. Her parents didn't watch over her like eagles neither did they neglect her. She had the freedom, and they had their authority. Her father used to always complain about how his father always restricted him about this and that, which resulted with him being loose with his daughter. A good thing, really.
Her ears pricked up at the mention of a game. Helping herself to an opaque orange mango juice,she chirped enthusiastically. "In favour? Of course!" It sounded fun, and she loved games. Being the only child, the event of playing games with people her age did not come often, so she jumped at whatever opportunity she got.

((I'm going to go with 11...23 and 39. Also I want a dare for Satu and someone to ask him to dye permanent pink streaks in his hair please! ^^))
Satu laughed at Minoris comment. "Hey! I havn't even taught you one lesson yet!" he said pretending to be insulted but he really did find it amusing. "Well these clothes are, of course, my sisters choices! If I ever get a say in what I'm wearing next time I'm going to try and get some more comfortable jeans. These are kinda...tight." he said laughing.
Satu smiled. "Nice to meet you Chiya!" He said brightly, glad that he wouldn't have to use formalities with this girl. "Exactly!" he said smiling. Satu laughed a little bit. "Well my sisters pick out all my clothes for me. As you can see it doesn't always turn out too well!" he said laughing and pulling his blazer.
Satu though about the game. It did sound very interesting and it would be a great way for all of them to just act like normal teenagers for once in their lives. It would be a normal party instead of one to promote their parents compainies. Satu took a manga drink and thanked the servent.
"Well I'm in favor for it. It sounds like alot of fun!" he said brightly. His parents wouldn't be happy with him if they new what he was going to be playing but he really didn't care. It seemed like too much fun to worry about what his parents would think.

[[ XD *reading the post again* Are we to choose 3 numbers, or 5? XD I suppose I'll go with 3 for now, like the others. Uuh...5, 43, 50. XD As for the dare...I HAVE NO IDEA, ACTUALLY. 8D;; Anything, really. XD Preferably not a permanent dare though. XD <333 ]]
Covering her mouth, she giggled, before shaking her head again at Satu. "Don't worry. You're parents are here right now, and none of us mind, I'm sure." She winked, before grinning. "Much more comfortable, yup! If I hadn't taken them off, I would be falling every second step I took. At least being barefoot lowers the chances." Though, as Mitsuko's clumsy level was set to high, there was still the possiblity of her falling, even without any shoes.
Turning back to have caught the wave Tarii gave her, the girl waved at her to come over and join them. Afterall, the more the merrier, right?
Her arms still around Minori's neck, she turned to look at her friend's guards again, before grinning at them and hiding a giggle. Then, looking back to Chihaya, the girl sighed. "Well, I'm -usually- allowed to choose what I want to wear myself," She said, with a frown, "But my parents thought today would be a good day to 'strengthen ties'." A grimace formed on her usually cheery face for a moment. She was rather bothered with how her parents thought.
"Wah, sounds like it'd be fun!" Mitsuko perked up again at the idea of the game. "Nothing better than a few games to pass the time!"

( Minori's numbers are 4, 16 and 46. 8D SHE MUST HAVE A TURN PLEASE. TORTURE HER.)
Minori shrugged. "She does it most of the time. Maybe it's because I was away for such a long time. "However annoying it made her feel, she never thought it was as unreasonable as Kiyoshi said. The girl had always thought that it was her mother's way of showing her she loved her.
"Well, soon." The girl grinned at Satu. "There's no harm in being polite, Sensei!" Turning to look at the butler as he approached, Minori frowned slightly. Commoner games? She had her fair share of them back in Australia. She took a glass of mango juice and offered a polite smile to the elderly man.
Oh no. Ohnohno. Truth or Dare? The game was...dangerous. Either option, even Truth, could lead to disastrous consequences, in her experience. But you aren't playing it back in Australia, Minori. The girl reminded herself. It's Japan now. There wouldn't be any...crazy stuff here, right? "Uh, well, since everyone thinks it's fine, I'm okay too."

((Tarii's numbers can be 9, 15 and 29. And I rather have a roll of luck, so no 'victim at least once' request for me X3))
The black haired girl advanced closer to the circle of guests, waving back at Satu eagerly. She considered to be somewhat friends with him, even though they only met once at the mall. Alec had told her though that meeting someone outside of a regular place can be considered quite friendly though.
When Chihaya addressed her she looked a bit surprised at the sudden straightforwardness but smiled nonetheless. "Nice to meet you too, Chihaya-chan," she replied. Using the implication of chan for girls and kun for boys was something she was taught as long ago as she could remember. Her father was incredibly tight on formalities so she would only address Alec, her family and friends without the implications.
Tarii perked her eyebrow at the mention of Truth or Dare. She wouldn't say, but she did play the game before. It was on the night of her old commoner friend Suzuki's slumber party. All the girls (and her twin brother) gathered around a small lamp in the middle of a dark room and started to spin the bottle. Whoever the bottle landed on was asked truth or dare by the spinner.
It still brings back ugly memories, Tarii thought, bitting her lip slightly. She was forced to give up her first kiss for Suzuki's brother. Well...almost forced. At the last moment she punched him in the nose and had one of her maids called to send her home. Suzuki and her haven't been very good friends since. Infact they lost contact after that slumber party.
Well I did pay her back for ignoring me by putting cockroaches in her lunch bag, Tarii chuckled at her thought.
"I'm in," she finally replied with a cunning smile. How interesting this would be.

{Here we go! As we go, I will start recording stuff. >3}
Kiyoshi nodded, and turned to his family's butler. Thanking him as he took a glass from the tray, Kiyoshi sipped the drink, enjoying the cool liquid as it ran down his throat. Fruit juice had never failed him in the hot summer heat; it was always so refreshing and cooling.
"Jerry, please arrange for the game to start," Kiyoshi noted, sweeping his bangs to one side as he clipped it up with a glossy black hair clip to keep his hair neat.
The elderly servant nodded, smiling as he led the teenagers to a round table at the back of the garden. He replaced the pot of flowers in the middle of the table with an empty wine bottle, and pulled out all the chairs. He bowed slightly, his hands gesturing towards the table, "Please take a seat... We shall spin the bottle as soon as everyone is seated."
{I'll presume everyone had taken a seat. =P}
The butler glanced around at all the young faces, and placed his hand on the bottle. He gave it a good hard spin, and watched as it slowly decelerated with each passing second. At first, the bottle was a blur, but it eventually became visible and then, it stopped....
At a male named Satu.
{Raving wants Satu to be dared to dye pink streaks in his hair. >3
Anyone wants to take up the job? If not, Kiyoshi will do it, since he likes this sort of thing. xD
Kiyoshi: I bought hair dye, clothes of every kind, and more... Can't leave home without them... >.>}

Satu smiled and sat down at the table. This did seem like fun and he was sure that because they were all rather civilised teenagers the game certainly wouldn't get out of hand. Plus this way they would all get to know each other aswell. He had never played the game before but he was sure it was just going to be stupid as hell but he was also sure that it would be loads of fun.
But his opinion on how much he liked the game suddenly changed as the bottle landed on its first vitim. He stared down at if for a few seconds glaring at it for picking him as its first victim. He looked over across the table to the see who was going to ask him. It was...
((bwhahah! Whoever wants to do it! I really don't mind))

{{I'll take you up on that offer!}}
The butler spun the bottle and it turned, round and round. Chihaya took a sip out of the mango juice(It was delicious!) the corners of her mouth turning upwards in joyful anticipation. This was going to be FUN. She wondered who would be the victim of the first round... and who would be the person asking. Finally, the bottle started to slow down, its nose mockingly passing each of the teenagers before stopping before Satu. And on the other end was.... her.
"So," she said, a wide grin on her face. "Truth or Dare?"
