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 party dog 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!
Hit me up here!

["How?" Probably the same way Nagihiko somehow did, out of a desire to take a little breather from all the action. He's a bit surprised to see someone else up here before him, but...

...oh, hold on, he's met this guy before, right? As both...? Maybe...??? At least as Nagihiko, maybe once. Though he thinks he met someone as Maihime within the Dreamsphere who looked pretty similar, so this is probably him? He really needs a better way to keep track of everything. Even stuff he feels sure about gets confusing.]


Nice view from up here, huh? [He just kinda grins and plops himself down next to Nikki. Hi, you have a roof companion now.]

[Sonic and Nikki have the same face and attitude, even though the bring blue hair and brighter green in Sonic's eyes doesn't make it readily apparent that he is Nikki. Then again, how many people in Yumemigaoka acts the way Nikki/Sonic does? Not that many.

That's probably for the best though...

His head turns to look over at the other kid that's found his way up here. Then he grins because, well... What were the chances?]


Hey, bud! [so casual...] How do you put it... [he holds out both hands, index finger and thumb extended, and uses them to frame the ongoing party like he's preparing to take a photo] It definitely gives you a different perspective up here.
hanategami: (look at them go~)

[Yep, that voice and tone give him everything he needs to know. It's kinda nice, seeing him again as Nagihiko again. He lifts up a hand in a light wave when Nikki acknowledges him, and nods with a hum at the rest.]

Yeah, I get what you mean. [And not just with what he can see. It's something about how the current "air" of the crowd below contrasts the heaviness of last month, maybe. And yeah, maybe his own issues reared their head again, but it felt easier to deal with that time. And he's feeling confident about his looking into familiars, too.

...having a brief break from worrying over everything for even just a little bit is...]


It's nice. [He hears the music playing below, and can't help tapping his foot lightly against the roof to the rhythm.] Getting a chance to relax and party like this, I mean. I know some people who definitely needed it.

[He is one such person, technically, but. Can't exactly say that.]

[he nods with a grin]

It helps that none of us have to worry about the planning or the bill part of it! Man, the behind the scenes of a get together like this must be wild.

Nevermind the catering, I'm thinking about how much of a pain it must have been to get that Hero Show and the Live set up. [said like he's actually handled something like this before... Well, he's not the one organizing those events he's been too before, but he's watched his mother help sort out parties like this. To call it a headache is putting it lightly.

Then again, Nikki doesn't really have the patience to organize the backend of most things, let alone something like a party. He's more of a front facing sort of guy]


Also appreciate the head honcho not immediately sicking his security team on us. He's a real one, that guy.

[He remembers a few gatherings sort of like this; back home, when the whole Fujisaki family would come together on certain special days. Never anything crazy like this, but he knew a lot of effort went into it.

If they did try to guess how much work and money went into this whole thing? The real amount would probably still be way higher than whatever they estimated.


His eyes drift to the stage again when Nikki mentions them.] Oh, definitely. There were probably loads of details to iron out; the times for each performance, the exact performance and music choices, who would be available for it, setting up the venue...with how well it's turned out, it's clear both sides involved have experience with setting up this sort of thing.

[As someone who knows all about that "sort of thing", Nagihiko honestly finds it incredibly impressive. His mom probably would, too. Maybe he'll snap some pics or take a small video of it for her before it ends...]

Pfft! [He chuckles a little.] Honestly, wouldn't be the first time I got snapped at for going where I shouldn't, if he did.

[Not that it ever stops him from climbing things, as made evident by. Well. Right now.]

It's honestly kinda impressive the amount of work that gets put into this sort of thing. Sure, you hear about these crazy wealthy families but it's totally different to see it for yourself, don't you think?

[he and his mom aren't doing too poorly for themselves but Nikki has no hope of even beginning to set an appraisal price for something like this... So yeah! It's kinda super, duper impressive isn't it?

Nikki laughs at the comment about getting snapped at]


It's not serious until you hear the sirens in the distance, right? Probably shouldn't let it go that far for a party like this though...

Anyway, hisashi been a while! [he says this with full confidence and the weird shift from fluent Japanese into fluent (American) English is about as jarring as he can make it] I feel like it's been a while since we last saw each other, what's been happening on your end?
hanategami: (its like i never left)

[personal profile] hanategami 2025-04-12 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely.

[The next comment gets another laugh.] Definitely not the best way to make a good first impression to your new neighbors, yeah.

[Angrily chasing kids off of a roof; not something you wanna show to a massive crowd of people during a housewarming party, of all things.]

Ah, not much, honestly. I've mostly been doing what I can to support Nadeshiko. [Which, really, being at this party was doing, whether someone knew the truth or not.] She hasn't told me all the details, but I know the past few months have been pretty rough for everyone, so I've been trying to help however I can on this side.

[A soft hum.] Beyond that...well, I've gotten back into a couple hobbies I haven't been able to do much of for a while, so that's been nice!
