Waking the Dead 2.0 || August 9, 2063 || Tuesday
[Dinner is served late in the mess hall because it's a grand banquet in honor of the Magistrate of Kibo. It's a pretty modest celebration, all things considered: the people at Kibo are invited, along with her family, any Searing Wind members who feel like dropping in from wherever they've been as of late, and a few friends among the other Keepers of the Vigil. That's about it.
Still, Kalika looks like she's having fun. Her husband and her children are, of course, all in attendance, together with her husband's familiars and the entire division of the Strays from Seigi. The food, mind you, is excellent, and there is more than enough booze.
You're welcome to come and go as you please. Kalika's easy like that.]
OOC Notes:
+ Will have some threads for NPCs of note, but just to give you a general idea: many members of the three blades are in attendance, along with pretty much anyone whom Kalika views as family. If you want to request for somebody, lemme know!
+ Debby and Noey: feel free to put your NPCs in here. =w=
+ Feel free to start your own threads too. Just specify if it's open to all, or if you're going to thread something out with a particular PC.
Open to All!
If she isn't doing that, she's
flopped onwith her Anton. No, don't let that stop you from bugging them both.]no subject
Good evening, Sister Cat. Happy birthday. [ He says with a big smile. They've never really had long interaction like the others, but just like Kaiser Delacroix, Brig likes Kalika very much ]

So he does arrive a little later than most, gift tucked under one arm and helmet in the other, smiling as he greets Anton and you, of course.]
Good evening, Magistrate. Sorry I'm late, bit of a rough day. Oh, and happy birthday.
[His gift is actually a hand-crafted cat's eye brooch that his Mamita had suggested.]

Good evening, Magistrate. Sorry for being late.
Happy Birthday.
[ And with that, he's handing over a small gift wrapped in plain white wrapping paper.
He didn't have time to go shopping, having only woken up a little less than three hours before. So yes, that's paper swiped from the printer they have at home, just like the gift inside was cobbled together from some things found at the bottom of that box he brought over from Vancouver. ]

He approaches the Magistrate with his by-now trademark goofy grin, holding a wrapped box in his hand.]
Happy birthday, Sister Cat. I managed to procure this for you.
[This is what she'll see if she opens it:]
It'll get much bigger when you're in cat form, it won't unravel, and it'll sharpen your claws for you! I hope you like it.

Why is he doing this? Simple: Kalika promised, rather sweetly, to murder him in his sleep if he didn't.
Yep.]

No, she won't be staying for the entirety of the evening. But you're welcome to drink with her while she IS around. And when she isn't watching her son from a distance.]

He puts down the two bottles he has in his hands and looks for a fresh bottle of sake which he promptly takes with him and approaches her ]
Good evening, Ma'am. [ Yeah, he's suddenly a bit tense at the shoulders. He was going all out enjoying himself like how he was back when he was a rowdy 2-year-old Promethean in the Allied Forces. And he's pretty sure she saw him. ] I didn't notice you around earlier. [ Yeah, he's a bit sheepish ]

He eats quickly, and proceeds to hunker down just outside of one of the doors with his own bottle of sake and an ashtray all to himself. Why he decided to turn up, no one knows.
Yeah, right.]no subject

If she isn't with the Heartnet-Duskrider contingent, she's trundling around with blade mates, or checking up on all of the other people she knows here. She might just swing your way.]
i couldn't resist? :c
It's a thing that has to really stop. This is twice now.
Still, he's not really avoidant. He's just mostly staying out of Hikaru's way without making it look like he is. If you catch him at the right moment, though, it's entirely possible to see the shy and sad look he sneaks towards that one, before he goes off to distract himself with a drink, a cigarette, or both. ]

Those who know him best will know that this is Hikaru Shinta avoiding the crowd, because he actually can't people. He puts on a good show, but he has tells. They're only too easy to read into, with practice.]

Yes. A dodo bird.
You're welcome to ask about it.]

Softly though -- and with a smile as she is taking a sip from her drink. ] I never got to tell you: congrats, Eli.

Still, the personable blade leader of the War Hounds is surprisingly less... like his usual self. Unless you know him well ( or are particularly perceptive ) you might miss it: he looks a little worn, though that's mostly along the eyes and the way his smile doesn't come as quickly or as easily as it usually does. ]

The Reynardi is mostly chilling out tonight, mingling with her blademates ( and extended blademates ) and generally catching up with anyone else she hasn't seen in a while. There's also a matter of her seeing the War Hounds again. She'll need a word with at least three of them before the night is over after all. ]

As it is though, it's kind of a rare thing to see Renae Montelibano-Profaci actually without his Electronic Wife, but hey, it's his Aunt Kalika's birthday, the three blades are in attendance and yeah, he might be randomly checking his watch because Someone Is Not Here Yet.
His sister gives new meaning to "Take Your Sweet Time".
He's not unapproachable, just... quiet. And usually leaning in some far corner discreetly watching the proceedings. ]
