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.

[ She's expertly containing her laugh, but smiling at Eli in a half-amused, half-confused fashion. ]
And you decided to keep her.
no subject
[Erm.]
I like animals.
[And underdogs. And stuff.
._.]
no subject
Hehe. She nods convincingly. ]
Okay then. Congratulations, by the way.
no subject
[That... never fails to make him feel a little awkward.]
We're both going to have to slow down soon, I guess.
no subject
[ Saying that endearingly, of course. 50 years ago she never even dreamed that she'd have kids that she actually had to... take care of. Maybe parenthood is exactly what Eli needs to experience.
Plus, it would kind of be funny. Nice, but funny. ]
no subject
[A beat.]
No offense.
no subject
None taken. Relax, you sound like a computer. It's a party.
[ She plunks down an untouched beer in front of him. ]
I think you need this more than I do.
no subject
Blink. Blink, blink. At the bottle. Then he's taking it.]
Thanks.
[Man, people need to stop talking about fatherhood. He kind of doesn't want to think too hard on it.]
no subject
[ Giving you a small pat on the back. If there's one thing that she got from Shane, it's that. ]
no subject
[Looking up now, and being honest.]
no subject
[ She shrugs. ]
Just take it as it comes.
no subject
Y e p.]
I'm not wired to do anything BUT analyze and overthink.
no subject
[ Tease, tease, tease. All with a serious face. ]
no subject
But that disappears quickly. Ahem.]
There are just a lot of things to do, you know. Lots of work, and still a lot of problems.
[Problems that might come back to haunt him, or Tala, or anyone else he cares about.]
no subject
I am aware of that.
[ And since this seems to be a good time: ]
Aria and I are thinking of checking up on Arcis.
no subject
[Of course he isn't thinking that this is an invitation.]
no subject
no subject
Good. Some of the others do need a break, and it would be good for them to see each other again.
[And of course he isn't thinking that he's included in that number.]
no subject
[ Hope you get it this time, you smart mage you. -w- ]
no subject
Ah, I'm sure that the operatives in the area will be able to instruct the lot of you.
no subject
I don't like them. [ Poker face of doom. ]
no subject
Okay.
That look? He's familiar with.]
I'm very busy, Dee.
[ABORT ABORT ABORT!]
no subject
Don't blame me if I end up stabbing someone, okay? Or a bunch of people, who knows?
no subject
[Please say you won't.
Does he have to... sob...]
