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.

Sure. Let us go with that.
no subject
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.]
no subject
I haven't seen him yet, but I will.
....You really care for him, don't you?
no subject
[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.
no subject
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. ]
no subject
[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.]

You should.
no subject
I do solemnly swear to try my very best to rise above my unique tendencies and take your word for it.
no subject
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.) ]
no subject
I see you've learned a new word.
[Hee.]
no subject
It's not a new word.
[ s t a h p ]

[Does he look a bit like a proud father right now?
Yes. Yes, he does.

no subject
[ Eyeroll. ]
no subject
[This is how he trolls you~~~]
no subject
[ Wait-- wait no did she just invite Hikaru to troll her more-- shit. ]
no subject
[:D :D :D!]
no subject
I... would like that.
[ Stop digging your own grave, Yulia! ]
no subject
[A pinky promise.
Yes, he's holding his pinky out.]
no subject
She smiles, nodding as she hooks their pinkies together. ]
A promise.
no subject
Anyway, I think I'll do the rounds again. You go and enjoy yourself tonight, okay?
no subject
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? ]
no subject
[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.]
goddamn html fail ;___;
