kalikat | 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.

Uh, yeah. [ She's going to loop her arm through your and sink back into the couch and take you with her, tyvm. ]

Cen and I were talking about something like that at Brianna's party. [ A pause. Wew. That was back in May -- how the hell is it August already??? ]

But yes, whatever you have planned, I am in with a plus one if you need a werewolf to do heavy-lifting.

Great!

[This pleases her so much, she can't even... yeah uh.

Ahem.]

Anyway, I need your help rounding everyone up. You know how difficult some of them can be.

[ Oh, Aria. U R SO CUTE.

She's already going through her list of Ways To Ensure The Success of This. ]

Okay, so that's you, Dee, me and Cen. If we get Tala on-board that guarantees Eli. [ A knowing look your way. ] If we get Eli, we can get him to grab David. And I can talk to Kalika about Anton.

[ Pursing her lips a little as she thinks. ] Aura and Cora might be easy to swing, I can put in a call tomorrow. They just might need time to make sure that the School of Colors is in good hands and... Barbie is just a drive away?

[ The real problem, let's face facts, is Kaizen. And she's giving you a Look, capital 'L', because she has an idea for that, but she wants your thoughts first. ]

And that just leaves Kaizen.

[Yeah. She has the same Look on her face. The rest really are easy, especially when you wrangle them together. Nostalgia and concern tends to kick in at that point.

Kaizen doesn't feel much of either of that.]

Do you think we could-- [ and she's going to cut off there and drum her fingers over her mouth because could they... really? Well, it's worth a shot.

Turning her gaze your way again. ]

You wanna ask Vergil for help?

[ She's not above flying to Tokyo to get the job done. ]

We're going to have to, but beyond that? We need to make it sound Logical.

[Yep. Capitalization intended.]

Maybe we can get Akira and Brimstone to help us with this too.

[ HUM. This is very true.

Angling her head your way now. ]

What is the plan?

[ She hadn't asked because this one doesn't need reasons beyond seeing the lot of you again. But Kaizen's a whole other creature -- and she means that in the fondest way. ]

Arcis expedition. All of us helping out there the entire day, then buckling down for a picnic.

[You know how much them Heartnet-Duskriders love picnics...]

[ The Heartnet-Duskriders gave the BEST picnics. ]

Well, [ flopping back and pursing her lips in a fashion that is foxlike, ] refresh my memory if there is anything on Arcis that requires... relics or anything under Aegis' jurisdiction.

[ Arcis in itself is a Big Deal -- putting together a proposal that Kaizen wouldn't be able to logic his way out of was another thing entirely.

Damn. They could actually use Eli for this. But, groundwork first. ]
