On the very same evening that Eustace and… quite a group of men have departed on a camping trip, Oriphi has invited Tifa, Beatrix, Susato, and Kainé to her home for Tifa’s respective “bachelorette party.” It has taken quite a bit of research and discussion between Trahearne and Ori as to how exactly these things go; while Trahearne isn’t familiar with these sorts of customs, on Ori’s part it’s more of a lack of exposure to them. She’s only ever been part of one wedding her entire life, and it wasn’t quite like this. There were two bachelors, for one…

In any case, Ori and Diluc’s home is, predictably, very cozy and full of plants. There are various balloons and other such party decorations peppered throughout the house, but most of the activity will be taking place in the large common area. Once everyone has arrived, they begin the festivities with a nice, warm dinner and wine before they get around to the rest of their night!

On the dining table, Ori has set up a floral arrangement station on the large dining table for them to put together both their and Tifa’s bouquets and the other floral decorations needed for the wedding (to be kept fresh with the help of dreamotion) and various crafting supplies for any other little touches and decorations they might want to make for the ceremony or reception.

The coffee table in front of their couch, meanwhile, boasts a wide spread of desserts and cocktails, including macarons and banana boats. Their drinks for the evening are a specialty starry night cocktail which Diluc helped her create; and if they look closely, they would see little dreamotion stars twinkling in the liquid.

There are also created homemade spa treatments like face masks, lotions, and the like should any of them feel like some well-deserved self-care. Their light blue bridesmaid dresses hang nearby, ready for them to try on and have fun with before they’re properly worn for the ceremony, along with Tifa’s wedding dress! And finally, there are lots of pillows and cushions and blankets and bedrolls for each of them for when it's time to fall asleep, and the fireplace is going with a nice, cozy fire.

The evening is, for the most part, loose and entirely up to them, but what matters most is celebrating Tifa and her upcoming nuptials by having quality girl time!

[ Ori simply nods understandingly; she doesn’t seem all too eager at the suggestion, and that’s just as well. She’s not here to pressure anyone into drinking, but she wanted Susato to know that she’s safe here if she wanted to try.

She waves a hand dismissively. ]

I see! Well, you don’t have to decide on anything right this very moment. But the drinks are over there if you wanted to try at any point.

[ But more importantly… ]

Drinks aside, are you hungry? There’s plenty of food, too! But please, make yourself at home!

[judicialassistant]

[ Phew. Maybe she's not outright relieved, but that sigh is there and seems to say as much. She does admire that twinkle in the drinks, however, before she glances at the table next to it where all the delicious, very-definitely healthy food is. ]

Oh, food sounds wonderful.

[ That definitely looks more like dessert than dinner, however, and she's here for it. ]

Are those bananas?

[hearthwarming]

[ Ori’s expression brightens immediately when she asks about the bananas. ]

Yes, they are! Tifa and I discovered some banana trees together in the Wildlands sometime ago - I thought it would be nice to include them as part of our festivities tonight since she was the one who taught me about these “banana boats!”

[ To her credit, there is dinner, also, something simpler than the elaborate desserts in front of them, but they’re supposed to do whatever they like tonight so she certainly won’t deny anyone wanting to skip right over to dessert. ]

[judicialassistant]

[ It's fine, Susato will most likely see the dinner and opt to eat that first. She's just proper that way! So with a nod of her head, she encourages Ori to come with her as she closes the distance on the spread.

It's only once she's closer that she can see what they mean when they say "banana boat." ]

They are adorable. I've never thought to try something like this...

I wonder if we could offer something like that at the Harvest.

[ Susato, that's work talk. ]

[hearthwarming]

[ Good girl, Susato! Always so responsible! Ori is such a proud auntie. ]

I'm sure you can! I'm happy to make regular trips out to the Wildlands to harvest them for you, too.

[ Briefly, she pauses and glances over her shoulder to wherever Tifa is in the room. ]

Tifa was the one who told me about preparing bananas in this way. It's great for people who have a very strong sweet tooth! Oh, maybe I should save one for Diluc...

[judicialassistant]

[ It would be a given that she would save some for him. Susato will encourage it, in fact, especially considering this is as much his house as it is Ori's. But that is for future Susato and Ori to worry about.

She glances in the direction of their bride as well. ]

Perhaps you could take me with you once things settle down. I could harvest them with you.
