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.

[ She's smiling when Saxon comes up to her, pats him on his back as she gets hugged. ]

It's nice to see you, too. I heard you've been busy.

[thebrandybunch]

Yeah, it's been kind of zany around the Middle East again! Northern Africa's crawling with some shit too, and THEN we've got business for our own family down in Italy.

[Babbling away, as they're hunkering down to join her properly for a bit.]

[bostova]

[ She's... trying not to be jealous and ask if she could go with them. She's supposed to stay put and enjoy their vacation, and she did promise she wouldn't pull another Blaece.

FML moment right there. ]

I'm sure Magistrate Shinta was delighted you stopped by.

[thebrandybunch]

Course she is! We're here to make sure that the booze doesn't go to waste.

[Now they're both laughing at their own joke. The next statement, though, is made by Breton.]

Honestly, though? It'd be good for us to slow down too. Leaves more for everyone else, and it's been a while since we've checked in at the Estate.

[bostova]

[ Pfft, yeah, of course. Speaking of booze though, she's reaching for a bottle; it's what she came here for anyway, but she'll stay for the company. ]

We've been told to slow down, too. [ Shrug. ] Gives us too much free time, but it cannot be helped.

[thebrandybunch]

[Both of them are chuckling, then Breton's speaking up.]

Hard to say when a too much is "too much" given how exciting things can get in the Vigil, little sister.

[bostova]

Nobody said I should like it.

[ She pouts over her drink and huffs, blowing hair away from her face. ]

[thebrandybunch]

True, but being unhappy gets REAL tiring after a while.

[That nugget of wisdom is coming from Saxon, while Breton is chugging down more booze.]

[bostova]

I'm not unhappy, brother.

[ Only slightly. Mostly disappointed. Which is totally not being unhappy at all. There is a difference. Let's switch the topic-- ]

Will you be staying here long? [ Here being Kibo, and Manila in general. ]

[thebrandybunch]

Probably! It's been a while, and it doesn't look like Brother Wolf needs us in Japan. None of the missions that'll take us out of town look interesting too, so.

[That's coming from Breton.]

Why?

[And that is Saxon, together with a :D? sort of smile.]

[bostova]

Just asking!

[ :D ]

[thebrandybunch]

[This is why they love you. ♥]

How about you? Will you be around for us to bug?

[They're both asking that at the same time because hee, excite.]

[bostova]

Maybe. If you know where to find me. [ Which means, yeah, she's totally free to be bugged whenever. Maybe after Ireland because that happens. ]

[thebrandybunch]

Of COURSE we know how to find you! We can just call you! Or ask people!

[Or stuff!

Yeah!

...They don't really think too far!]

[bostova]

[ Yeah, she knows.

...Why is everyone she knows a giant puppy. God. ]

Ask them nicely?

[thebrandybunch]

We always do.

[...No, not always, but they will be nice for your sake, at least...]

[bostova]

Good enough for me. [ She lifts her glass at them before drinking the whole thing. Good thing they're at the bar! ]
