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.

[ Sashaying your way~! ]

Heeey bestie! [ No need to keep her voice down in the presence of a certain bestie. ]

[thetalavega]

Ohmygod, hi!

[And coming right over to make beso.]

It has been AGES, Bri!

[therealbrianna]

Right?!

[ Brianna returns that beso. ]

So. I heard the good news!

[ SO HARD TO CONTAIN HER EXCITEMENT, OKAY!!! This is the first opportunity Brianna has to congratulate her bestie in person. ]

[thetalavega]

Ahaha, yeah.

[Her smile goes just a bit softer at that point.]

Just gotta say, this wasn't exactly part of the plan yet.

[therealbrianna]

[ She's kind of just grinning for a long time before she speaks. ]

They say that timing is... what's that? There's no such thing as a wrong time for the right thing?

[ She looks at Tala reassuringly. She still remembers how Tala told her how things just aren't in place for them to really start a family yet. ]

[thetalavega]

Well, that's true! I AM going to end up having to slow down big time, though.

[Siiiiigh. She doesn't like slowing down. You know this well, bestie.]

Of course, that also means that Eli's going to have to slow down, so I guess I'm okay with that?

[therealbrianna]

Granted of course that you slowing down is still at par with some people's best efforts.

[ Heee, tickling you with compliments is one of her favorite things to do. :3 ]

Maybe you guys really need this now.

[thetalavega]

I can believe that. We don't really get to spend actual time together beyond what Elias needs in order to be recuperate.

[She's mentioned this before to you. Her husband's little... problem, so to speak. Or she's at least hinted at it.]

[therealbrianna]

[ This one is optimistic, though. :3 ]

I'm sure a baby would prove to be a good nudge for him to focus back on the present and not the past.

[ She smiles at Tala. ] Especially when he's changing diapers.

[thetalavega]

[Laughing at that.]

I'm totally going to keep a visual diary on our progress as parents and show it off to all of our friends. It'll be fab.

[therealbrianna]

I'll enjoy looking at that for sure! Can't not keep tabs on my bestie, of course.

[thetalavega]

Well, you better! Because you're going to be one of her aunts.

[One of her many aunts... lol...]

[therealbrianna]

Hopefully she takes after the prettiest one.

[ Batting her eyelashes jokingly at Tala. ]

[thetalavega]

[That makes her laugh.]

I hope so too, but don't tell Barbie I said that.

[Hee.]

[therealbrianna]

[ She smiles at Tala. ]

Well let me know if I can do anything to help. We're on break for a while, so I can actually help you run baby-related errands, or for any reason I can think of to spend some downtime with my bestie!

[thetalavega]

Finding time to hang out should be good enough for me! Although, I might not be around as much as I want to, at least until the end of August.

[therealbrianna]

That's fine. [ She smiles. ]

What will you be up to?

initiating in-game plug for personal Brianna plot!

[thetalavega]

Oh, Selene's heading back to Lady Utsusemi's court. I'm going to help her out when she does the rounds among the Gentry.

[No big deal. Just another day in the life of the Key~]

Excellent!

[therealbrianna]

[ Color this one interested. Gotta get started somewhere, right? ]

So that's kind of like checking up on them, making sure they've been behaving?

[thetalavega]

Kinda, yeah. I mean, there's only so much that you can do with some of them.

[And it wasn't like they could just keep pulling a Cersei. That had its own ramifications.]

Most of the work actually involves saving more of the Lost.

[therealbrianna]

[ She doesn't want to impose, but... ]

Do you need extra hands? I am free, after all!

[thetalavega]

Oh, I don't see why not? Unless you're busy, I mean, I don't know how long we'll be gone for this time.

[therealbrianna]

I think this is something worth setting aside priorities for.

[ Surely her family will understand. And Josh. She'll be with Selene and Tala, after all! ]

[thetalavega]

If you say so. [Smiling.] Well, you might want to talk to Selene about it. She can give you more details than I can at this point.

[therealbrianna]

[ Excellent. -w- ]

I'm actually thinking of bouncing over to her after this! Thank you so much, by the way. If I really do get to go, well... [ A small smirk appears on her face. ] I'm excited to learn.
