The Damashii Family Housewarming
⭐ Who: The Damashii family and YOU!
⭐ When: March 18th (yes I know that’s not for a while I’m just excited okay)
⭐ Where: the Damashii mansion on the outskirts of town
⭐ What: The world famous Damashii family has moved to Yumemigaoka! Takamasa Damashii, second generation CEO of the esteemed cutting-edge aerospace corporation AllCosmos, is throwing open the doors of their new luxury home and holding a housewarming party. There will be fabulous food, wondrous games, live music, even a petting zoo!
… also it’s apparently his son’s birthday? Someone do something about that, will they? He’s very busy.
The party is huge. The party is lavish. The party is a little bit weird? But that’s kind of Takamasa in a nutshell so you all presumably knew what you were getting into by coming here. Enjoy yourselves!
Tables and chairs are set up inside the house as well as outside to encourage mingling and enjoying the weather, which is graciously cooperative with no rain in sight (for now.)
☆ OUTDOORS
Petting zoo
There’s a huge petting zoo with everything from your standard goats and sheep and pigs to alpaca and even a couple cows?! There’s talk that Takamasa was overheard saying that he was disappointed he couldn’t get something like a panda bear on such short notice. There are also horses for pony rides - they're intended for the younger audience but the handler on site won't turn away any interested parties.
Tokusatsu Hero Show
At the request of young Ouji Damashii, there is a rotating series of hero shows being performed once every other hour on a big stage out in the yard. Audience participation is encouraged!
Live music
There will be a big band ensemble performing outside whenever the hero shows are not being performed. They specialize in jazz but can (and will) do a variety of genres. They also take requests!
Gardens
The Damashiis love flowers, especially roses! The rose garden isn’t in bloom right now, alas (come back in a couple months!) but there’s still a lovely cultivated garden around the property that you can peruse currently full of well-manicured shrubs and hedges and early spring blooms. To one side is a cute little gazebo with a table and a few chairs where tea and Mimoza’s homemade cookies are being served. It’s perfect for a more private little gathering!
Meet and Greet with the Damashii family
At one point, the whole family will gather for a impromptu press conference of sorts in front of the mansion and answer questions about the move and the company and even sign autographs and all that jazz. Ouji stands quietly and dutifully at his father’s side during this.
☆ OUTDOORS/INDOORS
Games
A variety of party games are available to play in the front yard and at tables throughout the inside of the house. There’s scavenger hunts and giant checkers and jenga and … look. I’m not gonna get too into the weeds here - if you have an idea for a game, it’s probably here. I’ll allow it. Just have fun!
Gift Table
There are, of course, tables for housewarming (or birthday?!) gifts but these are not required. There's a pretty considerable pile, though. If you brought one, drop it off here!
Balcony
Catch a breather! It’s a lovely view up here on the second floor. There is a big telescope located out here! It’s not a cutting edge model, which is why it’s available for visitors to use, but it’s still quite expensive and powerful! Turn it towards the city and try to spot your house or gaze up at the stars once the evening rolls around!
☆ INDOORS
Food and drink
There’s a simply extravagant assortment of appetizers, entrees and desserts available, all catered by gourmet chefs. It’s an international spread featuring Japanese cuisine as well as western favorites and of course, Mimoza Damashii’s favorite: gratin! There is wine and champagne for those of drinking age, as well.
A birthday cake?
It’s a huge, towering cake, made by Mimoza with help from some expert pastry chefs to account for the sheer scale of it. It is the color of a night sky with piped stars and constellations dotting it. The cake itself is a simple, sweet vanilla bean buttercream frosting with soft and spongy white cake. It looks, by all accounts, like a birthday cake, with 16 candles on top. Was it someone’s birthday today…?
If asked whose birthday it is, Mimoza will smile and tell you it is her precious son’s and try to pick him out in the crowd for you (difficulty level: high, because he is very short) and Takamasa will gush about his dear beloved son who inspired this move - who this is all for - and who is just about to enter high school at Promised Morning… but he won’t necessarily bring any of that up unprompted unless it suits him.
Karaoke
Did you know Takamasa Damashii loves to sing? Now you do. There’s a karaoke lounge set up in the entertainment room loaded with all your favorite hits and classics. There are some really strange and obscure pulls too, so go wild!
Art
There’s quite a collection of art and sculpture in the house. It’s all very bright and kind of surreal. Like, if you are familiar with the katamari series aesthetics and vibe, that’s on full display here. Things like an oil painting of a mandrill eating ramen and a large sculpture of a cow… bear…creature are mixed in with gorgeous photographs of space, boxing memorabilia and trophies from Takamasa’s youth and so on, so forth.
Pat that motherfucking partydog cat
The Damashii family (or more specifically, Mimoza) has a feisty black cat as a pet. Her name is Elmira. If you are feeling overwhelmed by the party (which is very understandable it is So Much), why not take a break in one of the less crowded side rooms with its extravagant and luxurious couches and chairs and pet a cat?
FAQ
Can anyone participate in this log?
Yes! This log is completely open to any resident of the city as the family is opening the doors to the public.
Can I tag other people?
Yes! In fact you’re encouraged to tag around! It’s a party mingle, baybee!
What does the mansion look like?
Located on the edge of the city, the Damashii mansion is western in style, very stylish and modern with a big front yard and a gated entryway. Inside the decor is extravagant, eccentric, and perhaps a little gaudy at times.
What do Takamasa and Mimoza Damashii look like?
Glad you asked! Here is a drawing of them! They are both rather tall (6’5” and 5’10”, respectively). Takamasa will be wearing a fancy white suit similar to this (without the collar) and Mimoza will be wearing her favorite pink and cream dress. Feel free to chat with them!
Where is Ouji?
He’ll be popping up around the party and keeping tabs on his father - I may toss up some starters but I’ll also be tagging around with him. Your character is welcome to recognize him or not recognize him at all (he does PR work for his dad and is, of course, a celebrity child, but he’s still not nearly as part of the public eye as Takamasa.) He will be wearing a suit not entirely unlike his father's but a little less flashy and dark green in color.
I have another question!

I have another question!
Hit me up here!
no subject
[Big housewarming parties like these weren't normally Amane's thing-- it was true that his shyness had improved leaps and bounds over the years, but social butterfly he was not.
However. HOWEVER!!
This? This was different. He had nearly upset his phone in shock when he had learned that the Damashiis (the Damashiis, the very ones behind the most cutting edge aerospace corporations in the East!!) were moving to Yumemigaoka of all places. Not Tokyo, not Osaka, but here, this relatively modest-sized city with only Dreamer culture as its claim to fame. Perhaps that might have been clue to why they might have moved base, but Amane was too gobsmacked to really think too hard about the implications behind all of this. (And honestly, after the month he's just had, the less usage of his brain the better--)
So of course he had to go to this party and see things for himself!! Maybe not so much to meet the CEO and his family (he would probably wither and die on the spot if he wound up being perceived by them), but to scope the place out and see what sort of neat technology they might be hiding away in their home. Not that he expects anything too high spec or powerful, but there gotta be something here, right...?
... well. So far, his travels had lead him through an odd art gallery, some hero shows, and a garden that would probably make Shinsha shed a tear in appreciation, but nothing outright spacey yet. However, he slows down once he reaches the petting zoo, his eyes catching upon something... long. And fluffy. His large eyes seem to get even bigger as he takes in the alpacas milling near the gate, his expression awe-struck and almost reverent.]
WHOA...
[His fingers twitch, almost itching to run his hands through the floofy animals in front of him. C-Could... could he actually do that? Could he actually pet one of these things??]
PET THAT MOTHAFUCKIN PARTY CAT
[All the running around (and the alpaca floofing) was all well and good, but Amane had to take a break sometime. So, after loading up a considerably sized dish with the many tasty treats from the food table (don't judge him, he's in a growth spurt right now!!!), he settles in to tuck into his plate, content to listen to the sounds of the party outside for now. It was good to let his social battery recharge just a little bit before going back into the fray!
A black form slinks into view as he's in the midst of eating, however, and he pauses, curiously eying the kitty lingering nearby.
It was like looking at a twin-- I mean, tripletAfter a moment or so of consideration, he fishes a shrimp from the creamy depths of his half-finished gratin, wiping off the sauce a little before dangling it expectantly in the cat's direction. He's feline-savvy enough to know not to immediately grab or touch the kitty without it's okay... although maybe not so much so that he won't offer it some table scraps as a treat. There's a reason why the Yugi cats are kind of chubby, after all...A few moments of "pskpskpsks"-ing and some shrimp wiggling later, though, and he frowns slightly, his cat wooing skills bearing very little fruit.]
... hmm. Maybe you're more of a chicken type? Too bad I ate all the karage already though...
Balcony
[After he's finished eating and had a bit of a breather, he's back at it again exploring the party (and the house), getting caught up in the occasional card game or karaoke session he happens to stumble into
RIP to those in the latter, though--. It's easy to get lost in a place like this, however, and it's not until the sun is starting to sink beneath the horizon that he finally stumbles upon the balcony on the second floor. Once his eyes fall across the telescope set up there though...]--!!!!
[His exhilaration is so great that he can only manage a strangled squeak as he rushes forward, oblivious to anyone else possibly milling about the same space.]
I can't believe it-- is that a William Optics Fluorostar?! The imaging detail on this is insane...!!
[Not to mention costs a ton-- the modest telescope Amane has squirreled away in his room only was a fraction of the price, and that was AFTER he saved up his allowance for months...!
There's a huge smile threatening to break its way across his face as he starts to play with the settings, an almost childlike glee taking over him. Amane isn't exactly the stoic type, by any means, but the unfiltered excitement and joy radiating off of him as he babbles on is a rare sight indeed. In fact... it's kinda endearing, really.]
Oh man, I wonder if we'll be able to spot Antares with this-- I think it's supposed to be closer to the moon tonight, but that might be more towards the morning. We'll really be able to see its bright orange color with how good the contrasting on this thing is, though...!
[SOMEONE STOP HIM, HE'LL GO ON ALL NIGHT]
no subject
[Junna pokes her head out on the balcony, and then steps out onto t. She looks towards the telescope for a second. She likes astronomy, but it's a bit of a casual interest; she's done a few stargazing trips, visited some observatories with her parents, and has been in a few observatories. But she never managed to get her own telescope. But she priced some out!
But... now, her money needs to be saved up for an apartment.
She walks out onto the balcony, adjusts that brown hoodie she's taken to wearing lately, and then she smiles a bit more at him.]
I didn't know you like astronomy!
no subject
[He pauses as he finally glimpses over at the person joining him out on the balcony, and his cheeks flush on reflex. Oh no-- did Junna just see him nerding out...?? (All of
ChinaYumemigaoka did, Amane--) It's not like he was ashamed of his interest in astronomy or anything, but...He fidgets for a moment or two, careful not to accidentally mess with the settings on the telescope, before finally, shyly:]
O-Oh... um... I-I do, yeah. I love it. [Though even that can be an understatement on his part--] It's just so cool, y'know? There's all this stuff out there that we haven't even seen a fraction of yet.
[A thought occurs to him then, spurred on by her comment on the price of the telescope-- most folks probably wouldn't even know it's type, let alone it's value-- before adding:]
Are you into it too, Junna-san?
no subject
Oh, yes, I do! It's really amazing. [She looks up at the stars for a second, and then back at him.]
I never had a telescope myself, but I was in astronomy club in middle school. And I went to a couple of observatories on vacations when I was younger. It's incredible, the things you can see up there!
no subject
At her response, however, his tentative shyness over it all slowly drops away, until his eyes are practically rivaling the stars with how much they're sparkling in her direction.]
... wait, seriously?? You've been to an observatory before??
[Multiple observatories, even????]
Oh man, Yumemigaoka doesn't even have any around here! I've tried to ask my folks a bunch of times if we could go to one in the nearest prefecture, but they keep saying it's too far away. I'm so jealous...
[He almost tried to wheedle Keiwa into taking him to one while he visited his family, but in the end it wound up being too much trouble. SOMEDAY, THOUGH....]
no subject
She considers for a second.] I decided on the name "Sage" there, actually. I was thinking about all the brilliant people who looked up at the heavens, who knew so much, and thought... well, it's a nice thing to aspire to.
[She looks back at him, and she smiles.] It's really amazing. I'll take you sometime, if I can! The telescopes were incredible, and we got to see Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. It was too late to see Venus and Mercury, though.
When did you get into it?
no subject
He opens his mouth, about to ask her more, but her own question draws him up short. Abruptly, he closes his mouth again, cheeks flushing once more, his fingers twiddling self-consciously with each other.]
Oh, um... when I was little, I guess...? There was this picture book I used to read all the time about these rabbits who went into space, and I always thought it would be nice to see the same things they did...
[... oof. Now that he's said it out loud, it was kind of embarrassing, wasn't it? There was more to it, of course-- the book was a constant companion of his during his hospital stays and sick days, and imagining his own space adventures had helped distract him through some of the worst of it-- but that felt too heavy to randomly drop on Junna like that. Maybe it was for the best to divert the topic a little...!]
You really mean it, though...? Taking me to one of those observatories someday? It wouldn't be too much trouble for you, would it?
[Said as if he doesn't cause trouble for others on the regular, but like-- this was different, okay!!]
no subject
She blinks at the mention of the picture book, then looks up thoughtfully. Like she's trying to remember something. It doesn't quite come to mind, though.] I think I had that one! The art was really cute if I remember it right. But, I can't remember the title.
[Deflected! Junna blinks at his question, then she quickly shakes her head. It sounds like fun to her. Even if it's not a career for her -- her parents might have hoped she would go into science at one point -- she still likes astronomy. And, besides...]
Not at all. I'm taking a semester off before I start university. It's... probably better for me, after everything. So I'll have some time. Er could look at it on a school break, maybe?
no subject
It was Adventures in the Sky! We might still have it floating around Camellia if you ever wanted to check it out again. It might be a little chewed up, though. ..
[A certain SOMEONE (aka Tsukasa) started using it as a chew toy once Amane had read it to him enough times, something that he was still a bit chafed over after all these years. Still, better his books getting damaged than his Switch... (even though THAT still had some bite marks on it too...)
He gives her a blank look for a moment when she mentioned taking time off of school, however, somewhat confused, but then--]
... oh. Yeah, that'd probably be a good idea. Better to ease your way back into things so they don't get too hectic again, right? I'm starting high school soon too, so...
[They're both gonna have their plates full for a bit, huh?
The bombshell of Ai's scandal and the resulting Disturbance aside, of courseBut then something comes to mind, and he says, completely nonchalantly:]Still, I've always wanted to go to Hawaii on a summer break! ☆ I'm sure the wait'll be worth it!
[AMANE, WHO SAID SHE WAS TAKING YOU TO THE ONE IN HAWAII YOU LITTLE PUNK????]
no subject
There's a blink, though, as she takes a second to realize why he takes a second to realize why she might take a year off. Junna looks briefly embarrassed; then, she quickly shakes her head.]
That's... what I was thinking. Give myself a bit of a break, so I don't get right into the same problem I had. It should be nice, though.
[Then, a blink.
And another blink.
Oh--oh no. He just assumed... she meant... then--
But she caused him a real headache with the Disturbance and he's been so nice to her, and--and it's really...
oh no.
the wheels of destiny are in motion.]
I-It'll be great! Hawaii is fantastic!
no subject
Ahaha, relax! I was only kidding. I doubt either of us have enough to go to Hawaii on our own, anyway! Heck, I don't even know if I can afford to go to Osaka, let alone America.
[Granted, he had a bit more pocket cash compared to other kids his age thanks to his Dreamer pay and allowance, but even that got eaten up fast with his growing collection of sci-fi manga and books (not to mention various Teki-Terra merchandise....) Perhaps this was a sign he should start saving his money for future endeavors, but...]
It would be cool to go someday, though. I've always wanted to see NASA HQ! And the Kennedy Space Center too! It'd be neat to see where history was made, y'know?
[... someone ought to tell him neither of those places are near Hawaii though....]
no subject
But... I know there's the National Astrophysical Observatory in Tokyo. We could do that with a trip by train, and it'd be a lot cheaper. [The gears are already turning. She has... a lot more of her money tied up. That's complicated -- she'd need to talk to her parents. She hesitates for a second, as she thinks about that, but then she blinks.
And she beams.] That would be amazing! I've never--um. I've only been to Hawaii. I never went to America, otherwise. I'd love to go, one day. Maybe we could see a rocket launch!
[She also doesn't understand Texas and Florida. She's seen the map but... it's hard to really fathom.]
CAT
I see you've returned to your own kind...
[ Is... is she still holding onto a grudge from that time he was a cat in the dreamsphere!? How long has it been since then!? ]
no subject
Except not, because he's a dumb gross boy!!!Instead of taking the bait, however, a teasing grin rises upon his face, replacing the awkward look that had just been there earlier, and he props his chin upon his free hand.]
Ooooh? Is that jealousy I see~?
[He wiggles the shrimp in Nene's direction, before adding:]
If you want me to hand-feed you, Yashiro, you could always just ask ♡
[AMANE...... PLS???]
no subject
You wish.
[ So sayeth Nene, lightly whacking the top of his head... though it barely counts as whacking. More just her dropping her fist on the top of his head to chastise him. She's gotten wayyyyyy too used to his word choices, dang it.
...She will, however, be yoinking that shrimp out of his hand. Not to eat, but rather. ]
Watch and learn... cats love me.
[ And now she's going to take her shot at beckoning the cat over with the shrimp. ]
no subject
Amane can't help but pout theatrically in response, rubbing the spot where she bonked him as she steals the shrimp from his hand. Here he was, trying to reel in a kitty, but somehow he caught a fiesty fishie instead...!
He gives her a dubious look at her claim, but doesn't try to take back the shrimp, opting just to settle his chin on her shoulder to watch her attempts instead. "Cats love her" indeed!!]
Hey, I have cats at home too, y'know! They're normally pretty into free treats and stuff. I dunno why this one isn't, though...
[But even as he says that, Elmira seems to creep closer, intrigued by the shrimp in Nene's hands. HUH... maybe it's a girl thing...?]
no subject
Hmhm... maybe this cat just has better standards. Here kitty kitty...
[ Nene dangles the shrimp tantalizingly in her hand, and the cat continues to approach, eventually coming close enough to sniff at it. ]
Ahh... cats are the best... when they're actually cats, at least...
[ Hm? Did she say something? ]
no subject
I said I was sorry about that, didn't I? How long are you gonna hold that against me...?
[Not long enough, apparently, if he's still not grasping why she'd be upset over it!! His eyes drift back down to Elmira as she sniffs curiously around the shrimp, giving it a few experimental nibbles...
... before promptly turning her kitty nose up and wandering elsewhere. Amane can't help but sound a little smug as he teases back:]
So what was that about "high standards"...?
no subject
Ah...!
[ I-Impossible...! Her cat rizz failed!? ]
...Shut up, I did better than you did!
[ Maybe they just don't like shrimp...? ]
no subject
He's about to open his mouth to volley back a retort of his own, when a small movement on the couch grabs his attention, lifting his head up from her shoulder. The black kitty seems to have taken a roundabout approach after she had left, circling the seat and leaping nimbly onto the cushion to sit next to the two. Amane stares at the cat for a moment, before quietly untangling one of his arms from around Nene and reaching over to gently stroke Elmira's head. The smug look is in full force as he glances back at her, unable to keep the teasing tone out of his voice.]
Oh really, now? Doesn't look that way to me.
[... well. With the irritated way that Elmira is staring at that hand now, he might not be so smug for very long...]
