Waking the Dead 2.0 || August 9, 2063 || Tuesday

[kalikat]

[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.

Beyond my usual level of kill-ready concern for Hikaru? Which, by the way, is my 'default setting', as Tala puts it?

[There's a small quirk of lips in your direction, Cisco, before he's turning away once more and hiding it behind his cigarette.]

Yeah.

[No lies on this end. He really has been good, better than he has been in... well. Centuries, to be honest. This hitch is nothing but a hitch, and he's already making plans to smooth that over as much as he can from his end.]

[kinesthesia]

[ That's getting her to smile. ]

I'm glad.

[ Tilting her ear again in that direction, because she's hearing Kaz stand up, walk off. ]

Josh is smart, [ she's rising from her seat as well. Her opening to speak with Kaz has finally presented itself. ] He'll come around.

[ There's an unspoken I really hope so in that statement. But the boy had landed a kiss on Hikaru in front of what might as well have been the entirety of Seigi. Given her initial assessment of him as the kind to be private about his personal affairs... that's a thing enough to hold onto. ]

At the very least, [ and she says this in an effort to look on the bright side of things, ] I'm pretty sure he's smart enough that he won't take ten years to figure things out.

[mordechai]

We'll see about that, I guess.

[His voice is already easing into his usual register, and he doesn't bother to watch Cisco's movements. It looks like they've said what needed to be said to each other. Now he planned on enjoying his booze and his nicotine.]
