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.

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.]

[inqdeirdra]

C'mon, Eli. Lighten up, it's a party!

[ Giving you a small pat on the back. If there's one thing that she got from Shane, it's that. ]

[tagabigay]

I'm pretty good, actually. Just... haven't really thought about this whole father thing much.

[Looking up now, and being honest.]

[inqdeirdra]

It's not something you really analyze and overthink, yknow.

[ She shrugs. ]

Just take it as it comes.

[tagabigay]

[Are his shoulders hunching the way that they used to circa 2012?

Y e p.]

I'm not wired to do anything BUT analyze and overthink.

[inqdeirdra]

Wired? So you are a computer after all.

[ Tease, tease, tease. All with a serious face. ]

[tagabigay]

[If he looks a bit younger than his years and closer to how he used to look whenever you or the others used to bully him circa 2012, it's because. Well. He does.

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.]

[inqdeirdra]

[ She chuckles. ]

I am aware of that.

[ And since this seems to be a good time: ]

Aria and I are thinking of checking up on Arcis.

[tagabigay]

That sounds like a good idea. The two of you will be able to help out.

[Of course he isn't thinking that this is an invitation.]

[inqdeirdra]

... And we're bringing everyone else.

[tagabigay]

[Nodding along in approval.]

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.]

[inqdeirdra]

... We don't know what to do.

[ Hope you get it this time, you smart mage you. -w- ]

[tagabigay]

[NOPE.]

Ah, I'm sure that the operatives in the area will be able to instruct the lot of you.

[inqdeirdra]

[ And replying in the only way Deirdra knows how to... ]

I don't like them. [ Poker face of doom. ]

[tagabigay]

[...

Okay.

That look? He's familiar with.]

I'm very busy, Dee.

[ABORT ABORT ABORT!]

[inqdeirdra]

[ Blink. Blink. Blink. ]

Don't blame me if I end up stabbing someone, okay? Or a bunch of people, who knows?

[tagabigay]

I'm sure you won't.

[Please say you won't.






Does he have to... sob...]
