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.

sorry my muse is being a jerk

[Of course you aren't feeling like yourself. You've been getting bombs dropped on you this past few months.

But that isn't an excuse. You need to be tougher, Streets. Much, much tougher. Is it really surprising that I'm the one that expects it of you? I'm the looker-upper, after all. I'll follow you down a kraken's gullet for no other reasons than you're my friend and my leader. But in exchange, I WILL reserve the right to call you out when you're being stupid. I won't embarrass you, or go behind your back. Or hold back.

Maybe this is Taning's fault, for acting so goofy all the time. People aren't used to him being stern. In any case, after looking steadily, passively, at Josh, he will just... nod, in a manner reserved for an underling looking up to his superior, and take his leave.]

I'll leave you to you, then. Let's drink, when you're able, boss.

[Have a curt smile, and have Stan casually walk off, as if nothing had happened.

Is it just you, or did it get a bit chilly, though?]

it is ic so this is okay! huhuhu

[ And he's going to watch you go. Maybe if he had the spoons to shelve this, he might have been able to say something else, but as it is, he doesn't kniw what to feel, he doesn't know how to make things right between him and Hikaru and perhaps the text message was apt: What if you were dying of a terminal disease?

He plays football nit baseball, but that was batting a home run of the not-so-pleasant kind.

He doesn't even have it in him to be angry. He doesn't really think he has the right. As it is, he's falling short and the people he looks up to are walking off from him, utterly disappointed.

Yeah, he's just... going to retreat to ine of those tables now. Maybe try to get through that level he couldn't get through on the plane. ]

fading to white!

[Taning walks away. He's definitely disappointed.

But it's not at Josh. It's at himself, because yet again, he hadn't managed to get through to his friend.

I'm looking out for you, man. In my own way, because this is who I am. And this is all I know how to care.

He'll be making his way outside, now. A smoke or two... yeah. That's the ticket.]
