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.

It's a great opportunity to attend to other important matters and process... things...
[ Bri isn't just gonna ask you outright... yet. ]
no subject
[Mildly, and giving you another Look. That look that says 'Fess up, kid, because I can play dumb all damned night'.]
no subject
Daddy told me you two talked. How was that for you?
no subject
It was fine for me. What else would it be?
no subject
I... don't know. Sorry, it's just difficult when you know a lot of things. [ Maybe even too much? But she decided for herself that she is okay with being Hikaru's daughter, that she's in it for the good, the bad and the messy. And she's sticking by it. ]
no subject
Don't apologize. I've had a lot of practice at knowing a lot of shit. You haven't yet.
no subject
That's why I kind of feel... lost? Okay, not really. It's like there are two sides of me that think that the right thing is two entirely different things. I can't just stand here and do nothing when my daddy and my almost-brother are hurting so much. At the same time, I don't want to make a careless move. That could make things worse.
[ And then of course, there's Alistair. He hasn't really made a clear indication of how he feels about it. ]
no subject
Usually, the most that you can do in a situation like this is try to be there for them both. Sometimes it's best to let the parties in question hash things out on their own.
no subject
I just want everyone to be happy and all okay by the end of it. No resentment or anything just clear air. I do care for all of you.
no subject
[Sending a small smile in your direction with that.]
no subject
[ She laughs jokingly. ]
Thank you though. It really makes me happy that you're a solid person daddy can lean on without having to worry about... stuff.
[ Yeap, Alistair has known Hikaru FAR more longer than anyone has. She's content knowing that yknow, maybe things will be fine after all and not as messy as she thought it might possibly be. ]
no subject
[Asking is hard for that one, and to be fair, they were still hashing out the full extent of the nature of the new dynamic that existed between them.]
You should go back to the party soon.
[It's both a fact to him, and a not-too-subtle way of him hoping to be left to his own devices soon. It's nothing personal; he's antisocial in general.]
no subject
She does lightly plant her hand on Alistair's shoulder for a bit. ]
See you around! And thank you for this.
no subject
[He lifts his beer in her direction once before turning away.]
