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.

[ .....Are you talking about a volcano or a coffee maker? She rolls her eyes, amused. ]

Sure. Let us go with that.

[Well, at least you're riding with him.]

You should go and check up on Josh.

[Of course he'd ask Yulia to do that sort of thing. His feelings have never changed. They probably never will, even with this... situation, so to speak.]
bostova: (12 ☭ i'll make you understand)

[personal profile] bostova 2014-04-30 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ o u ]

I haven't seen him yet, but I will.

....You really care for him, don't you?
icarusalsoflew: (we'll remember good lies.)

[personal profile] icarusalsoflew 2014-04-30 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... yeah, I do.

[Maybe the smile he's giving you is earnest enough and tired enough to make it painful to look at. It was certainly hard to bring it up to his lips.]

He's it for me, whether we work this out or not.
bostova: (14 ☭ for an apparition)

[personal profile] bostova 2014-05-01 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ That actually breaks Yulia's heart, in so many ways. But she smiles, the brightest and most earnest she could muster. ]

You'll be fine. Both of you.

[ And she believes it. If Hikaru and Josh don't, who else would, right? Someone has to. And she really, really does. She wants the best for Hikaru and Josh-- they're two of the three most important people in her life right now, and she'd do anything for these two. ]
icarusalsoflew: (there's nothing wrong with you (it's me))

[personal profile] icarusalsoflew 2014-05-01 10:45 am (UTC)(link)
A lot of people have been telling me that. Maybe I should start believing it, huh?

[It'll never cease to amaze him, how far you've gone, how far he's sure you'll end up going. Watching you grow has, in a way, been kind of like watching himself from several centuries back: earnest, painfully earnest, driven, ready to do anything for the ones he cared about.

He'll kill for you. But you probably knew that already.]

[ And-- this is probably the first time she ever does this-- she leans in to bump shoulders. Your feelings first; yours and Josh, before hers. ]

You should.
icarusalsoflew: (the cracks let the light in.)

[Blinking at that, then smiling a little easier. So the great Yulia Bostova knows how to do affection now, mm? He's okay with this.]

I do solemnly swear to try my very best to rise above my unique tendencies and take your word for it.

[ She's learning, ok? ]

Good. Now stop worrying, or you'll both fall in an endless cycle of angst. [ Who'd have thought she'd have those words in her vocabulary, yeah? (But you can tell she's frustrated about this. It's gotten on her nerves once, she doesn't want that to happen again.) ]
icarusalsoflew: (we're in this together.)

[personal profile] icarusalsoflew 2014-05-01 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Chuckling, and reaching over to tweak your nose.]

I see you've learned a new word.

[Hee.]
bostova: (21 ☭)

[personal profile] bostova 2014-05-01 11:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ Scre-- what did-- fljskjf! She shoos Hikaru's hand away from her nose and tries to hide the pink that's starting to bloom on her cheeks. (She'd protest that she isn't a kid, but Anya is definitely laughing at that.) ]

It's not a new word.

[ s t a h p ]
icarusalsoflew: (too high: can't come down.)

[personal profile] icarusalsoflew 2014-05-01 11:29 am (UTC)(link)
It is for you.

[Does he look a bit like a proud father right now?

Yes. Yes, he does.

[personal profile] bostova 2014-05-01 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
No it isn't.

[ Eyeroll. ]
icarusalsoflew: (who am i to disagree?)

[personal profile] icarusalsoflew 2014-05-01 11:41 am (UTC)(link)
This is the first time you've ever used it in my presence. Pretty sure that qualifies as "new".

[This is how he trolls you~~~]
bostova: (37 ☭)

[personal profile] bostova 2014-05-01 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
That's probably because we haven't had much conversations.

[ Wait-- wait no did she just invite Hikaru to troll her more-- shit. ]
icarusalsoflew: (be persuasive // just carry on.)

[personal profile] icarusalsoflew 2014-05-01 11:58 am (UTC)(link)
And would you like to talk more now? Because I would.

[:D :D :D!]

[personal profile] bostova 2014-05-01 12:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Now isn't the time to be noticed by sempai afljkwljkiojkl;asdlkjgklj ]

I... would like that.

[ Stop digging your own grave, Yulia! ]
icarusalsoflew: (words are spoken to be broken.)

[personal profile] icarusalsoflew 2014-05-01 12:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Then it's a promise.

[A pinky promise.

Yes, he's holding his pinky out.]
bostova: (14 ☭ for an apparition)

[personal profile] bostova 2014-05-01 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, huh. Wasn't expecting that.

She smiles, nodding as she hooks their pinkies together. ]


A promise.
icarusalsoflew: (nobody can stop us now.)

[personal profile] icarusalsoflew 2014-05-01 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shaking that once, and then letting go. You've gone ways in making him feel a lot better, Bostova.]

Anyway, I think I'll do the rounds again. You go and enjoy yourself tonight, okay?
bostova: (36 ☭)

[personal profile] bostova 2014-05-01 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Anything for sempai Hikaru. Seriously. She's glad he's feeling better. ]

I will if you will. Both ways, right? [ Not exactly what they promised, but it still counts, right? ]
icarusalsoflew: (free from desolation & despair.)

[personal profile] icarusalsoflew 2014-05-01 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Both ways.

[That's getting you a kiss to the top of your head as he stands up.]

Pretty sure I will now, in as much as I can.

[He owes you and Brianna for that.]
bostova: (53 ☭)

goddamn html fail ;___;

[personal profile] bostova 2014-05-01 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. [ That's good enough for her. ] I'll see you around.
