Time for a big ol' Nexus Block party

[sumarusfinest]

On a sleepy summer morning a wonderful smell begins to waft throughout the Nexus. For those familiar with this place there can only be one explanation but for those new faces to the nexus this may be a strange thing: seeing so many people flocking toward the sweet and savory scents perfuming the Nexus.

There are a few tables set out this morning in the Plaza in front of a small cafe loaded with several carafes of coffee, a myriad of pastries from more than a few different worlds and cultures, and a large pan of eggs and sausage kept warm over a chafing dish. On either end of the table are disposable plates, cups, and cutlery as well as a few welcome pamphlets in a small container. Along the front of the tables is a hand made banner.

Meet and Greet

Manning the tables is Katsuya Suou, red apron on and a cup of coffee in hand. He looks far too cheerful for how early in the morning it is. It's always satisfying to put one of these on and see the throngs of different people stuck in line together to get their food and find a place to sit among the tables and couches nearby.

"Right then, is anyone hungry? I've got more than enough here for everyone so please mingle among yourselves or feel free to ask me anything you'd like."


((OOC: This thread is ALL ABOUT threadjacking and hopping. I encourage folks to tag on each other's comments and mingle rather than to reply only to me. This is a huge opportunity to have your characters interact with people they wouldn't have talked to before. Branch out! Meet new people! Scheme new schemes! Steal the last chocolate croissant!))

And thus with prissypants officers busy playing the good host does Majima set about being a horrible influence to the Nexus at large right under Katsuya's nose. Majima must be living right now.

They won't have too much of an opportunity to sit back and shoot the breeze. With alcoholic beverages on offer a lot of people who already grabbed food are sure to be coming back for some liquid fuel for the day and Katsuya is busy greeting every friend and new face that comes their way with as much charm as the terminal case of serious face can. Actually, he's really starting to smile a lot more the longer this goes on. Engaging in conversations even!

By the time things begin winding down he honestly looks a wee bit sunburnt. Or drunk. Both are very viable options thanks to some people.

"You have fun out here today?" Katsuya doesn't look up from the boxes of leftovers he's packing up and setting out for anyone who might need some extra food to take with them when they leave. "You were more of a help than I thought you'd be."

Majima wouldn't be very good at his job if he couldn't put one past an officer. It's the classic yakuza-law enforcement symbiosis, albeit on a much smaller scale.

With the exception of a few tipsy light-weights, most people have enjoyed enough food to absorb a lot of the booze. Majima pops the cork on the last of the champagne and hands the foaming bottle to a particularly amorous couple. They look like they've hit it off extra well at this meet and greet. "Shoo! Go get a room, ya horndogs!"

He turns to Katsuya, untying his apron. "Fuck yeah, I had fun! And hey, the operation was a success! Managed to remove that stick from yer ass, Suou-chan. At least for a few hours."

With Katsuya none the wiser Majima is safe to plot another day. Too slow, coppers. Besides, who has jurisdiction in the Nexus anyway?

"I'll say." The boxes aren't as neat and orderly as Katsuya would normally keep them. They're stacked kind of haphazardly on the table. Ah well, it's the thought that counts.

"So long as you're not trying to give me fashion tips I think I'll live." But he's smiling all the same. "Thanks for the hand t'day. I mean it."

"Don't worry, pal. Fashion-wise, you're a lost cause. Ya look like you came outta the womb wearin' a stuffy suit." Majima balls up his apron and leaves it on the table.

"Gotta get in the community's good graces," he says as he turns on his heel and begins walking off. "Before long, there's gonna be a lot more of the Majima family 'round here."
