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.

It's nice to see you geeking out again. [ A beat, then: ] Well, if they do decide to make t-rexes, I guess we'll finally figure out the answer as to whether they were top dog predator or scavenger, huh?
[ Her son liked to read. A lot. Dinosaurs were a thing before he zoned in solely on building things. ]

It will be an interesting exercise, and it will help a lot of disciplines.

Yeah she's chuckling and leaning back into that couch. ]
Yeah... yeah, I suppose it will. [ A fond smile your way now. ] So, I take it that Didi is adjusting well to the world of 2063?
no subject
[A small, fond smile as he's picking Didi up and stroking her feathers.]
We'll need to find a good habitat for her and the rest of her species soon, I think.

Looking down and smiling quietly at the drink cradled between her hands. ]
There are good places now. It'll be nice to see dodo birds in the world again.
[ Some Changing Breed might think it unnatural to use science to bring the creatures back. But not this one. If it's there, why not, right? ]
no subject
[And of course his thoughts turn to darker places - but only for a moment. He's on break right now, and Dee and all the rest are right. He needs to relax, and not take his inner demons on alone.
He is looking forward to the rest of this evening, and to going home to his wife.]
no subject
Reaching out now -- more for her than you, really. ]
You'll make a great dad.
[ She never thought she'd live long enough to see the day, okay? David and Mica's miracle baby had been a wonderful thing. This is like that. ]
no subject
I doubt that. Got too many things to sort out right now.
[The last thing he wants to do is to foist his demons upon his child.]

Parenting is a work in progress. [ Weren't you the one who checked up on her yearly -- clone or otherwise, it was always still a part of you -- just to touch base? Or sit around and watch her try her best with the twins before leaving like you'd never been there because their biological father had come back round. ] There's no instruction manual for this sort of thing. And it's scary. But it's also incredibly fulfilling.
[ A small smile then. ] You've also got a village's worth of people who are more than willing to help out.
[ Deidra and Gideon did great. Pao and Jen. Anton and Kalika. Neeka and her crazy lot. And the others too: Aura, Liana -- Elaine rest her soul. Lars and Miriam. Anyu and Asuna. And don't get her started on Kaizen, who pretty much was the first out of everyone. ]
no subject
[There's some honesty, right before he's taking a swig from his bottle.]
