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.

This mission will be accomplished, Magistrate. With much gusto! [ He makes a goofy, intense face, complete with fist clench ]

[ He pauses for a moment though ] Before I leave you to enjoy your night, Ma'am. [ He pulls out a box from inside his coat. He holds it out respectfully, lying flat on the open palms of both his hands. The box looks like this:



Inside, if she opens it, she'll find a pair of jade chopsticks that look like this:



Brig selected the chopsticks for a mundane enough reason, in the typical "good guy Brig" fashion. He picked jade for what it means in Feng Shui, and how Brig interpreted it for Kalika and Zangyaku. He will be glad to explain if she asks. He'll be equally as happy with silence, or any way she takes it. He's just hoping she'll like it. ]

[Ooooh. Of course she's opening it --

-- and she's promptly going to look younger than her years as she takes a moment out to admire them.]

You know, I haven't had a pair of chopsticks this nice in a while. [Chuckles.] Kind of broke the other pair.

[...During a skirmish. Uh. Yeah.]

[atlas_shrugged]

[ And because Brig's mind races in the strangest ways, he's imaging her using them ala that Ranma 1/2 movie to kill people.

He just smiles as she seems to like what he got her ]

If I'd known, I might've gone to Leviathan to have them make these unbreakable. [ A chuckle ] Happy Birthday, Sister Kalika.

[kalikat]

Thanks again! And no worries. That just means that you can give me another pair if this one ever breaks.

[Endless repetition can be nice too, right?]

Have fun tonight, okay?

[atlas_shrugged]

Just tell me if they do, Sister, and I shall find a new pair. [ Yes, repetition for family and friends is nice. ]

I will. And hopefully will report to you later who the successful victims--err, participants--of Operation Get-You-Drunk are. [ He laughs before he puts his cheek to hers. ] You have a great evening, Kalika. [ These Wolfborn. He finds himself surprised at how they grow on him, and how comfortable he feels around them. ]
