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.

Well, I've always taken the loose tongued [ not eloquent ] "critics" as "idiots full of sound and fury. Signifying nothing." [ Quoting that line from Macbeth was always apt for individuals with more mouth than sense ]

[kawaakari]

[Chuckling at that.]

A fan of Shakespeare, are you?

[atlas_shrugged]

[ A smile ] Of a number of his works, Ma'am. I haven't read them all but I've loved those that I have. Are you one too?

[kawaakari]

[Nods.]

Might I know what your favorite Shakespeares are?

[atlas_shrugged]

[ Brig thinks a bit, pulling out of memory the works he particularly loved ]

Macbeth, The Merchant of Venice, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Twelfth Night. They're the ones I loved the most.

[ Playing out the plot of Twelfth Night in his mind puts a smile on his face ]

I've only ever read them though. I've never had the chance to watch them performed.

[kawaakari]

Oh, you should find some time to see them on stage. No play is complete without them coming alive before an audience.

[She's seen quite a few. Her son rather likes Shakespeare.]

[atlas_shrugged]

I will, Ma'am. [ The thought of finally seeing Nick Bottom and his donkey head in the flesh puts a smile on Brig's face ] Would you grace me with your company if they ever hold one here in Japan?

[kawaakari]

Of course, provided that I do not have a sudden engagement to handle.

[Chuckling.]

Perhaps we can bring my son.

[atlas_shrugged]

Of course. [ He smiles. Maybe the stars will align some time. ] It'd be nice to have Brother join us, Ma'am. Pretty sure he and you could enlighten me on the finer points of Broadway performances after we get the chance to see one.

[kawaakari]

He will likely be able to do it better than I can.

[Saying that with fondness.]

The stage speaks to him on an intimate level, one that is nearly as close as the way he is moved by stories.
