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.

[Interestingly enough, this one ISN'T going to provide tonight's music: that's Gideon's job.

Occasionally, though, she strikes up a tune with him. Old time's sake, and all. Beyond that, you may find her minding her own business, smiling, watching everyone else have fun.]

[This old man's still got his game on. That much should be obvious in the fact that he's handling the music for tonight, and it's fucking perfect.

Why is he doing this? Simple: Kalika promised, rather sweetly, to murder him in his sleep if he didn't.

Yep.]

[She ported in from Seigi in order to be here, and she's playing the good hostess to make sure that Kalika doesn't have to hassle herself with it too much.

No, she won't be staying for the entirety of the evening. But you're welcome to drink with her while she IS around. And when she isn't watching her son from a distance.]

[Surprise, surprise: this one turns up nearly two hours late. He just slips in like he's been in the Philippines this entire time, puffing on a cigarette, tossing his usual borderline-gruff greetings in the directions of his closest friends and "family".

He eats quickly, and proceeds to hunker down just outside of one of the doors with his own bottle of sake and an ashtray all to himself. Why he decided to turn up, no one knows.

Yeah, right.]

[Given recent events, one would think that Aria wouldn't be around. The truth of the matter is, she and Kalika managed to have a good heart-to-heart a few weeks back. They're good now, and Aria had no plans of missing her sister-in-law's birthday.

If she isn't with the Heartnet-Duskrider contingent, she's trundling around with blade mates, or checking up on all of the other people she knows here. She might just swing your way.]

[This one looks fine, all things considered. You'll usually see him with his family, eating, drinking, talking, quietly chuckling at this or that joke. He does, however, steal outside to join Alistair a little too often, or to just... be outside.

Those who know him best will know that this is Hikaru Shinta avoiding the crowd, because he actually can't people. He puts on a good show, but he has tells. They're only too easy to read into, with practice.]

[For the first time in EVER, Elias is at a party and he doesn't look like he's glued to his tablet/phone/laptop. He mostly spends his time with his wife and his blade mates, but seems approachable enough.

There is also a dodo bird following him around.

Yes. A dodo bird.

You're welcome to ask about it.]

Nobody is surprised.]

[Lia's here to represent the Malice Kings, and to greet the Magistrate of Kibo as the Kaiser of Netsach. Sisterhood/brotherhood. That sort of thing.

She's monopolized her own corner, and may occasionally be spotted in the company of some of the other Netsach operatives or multi-licensed folks. And she looks the way she always does: quiet and cool and definitely not like she's at a party at all.]

[If she isn't hanging off of Elias Tagabigay's arm, bugging her sister, chattering away with Kalika, checking up on her fathers or bothering her blade mates, she's trying to get people drunk.

It's serious business, okay.]

And she loves the booze. And the food. But mostly the booze.]

[ This one is quietly hovering near Aria. She's not closed off though. She's making it pretty clear that she's fine with chatting up with anyone. Occasionally, she casts an endearing glance to her husband, Gideon.

She's keeping her eyes peeled for a certain Card though. She'll wait for him to approach her.

Tonight is all about Kalika, after all.

And getting people drunk, ayup. ]

[This one shows up because Kalika is his Hikaru-nii/Aniki/Brother's (he has to just pick one thing to call Hikaru, really) sister, and Kibo's Magistrate. It wouldn't do for him to skip out on this.

So after he's greeted the birthday cat and dropped off his gift, he's milling about, grabbing food and a drink, maybe glancing up at the Arcana of the people around him.

[ Given that three of the Hounds are already in Zangyaku and word has no doubt gone around that the younger half of that particular blade have already expressed their individual intentions to follow suit, it's not really that unusual to find one Josh LaRue present for Kalika Shinta's birthday party ( among other reasons, of course. )

Still, the personable blade leader of the War Hounds is surprisingly less... like his usual self. Unless you know him well ( or are particularly perceptive ) you might miss it: he looks a little worn, though that's mostly along the eyes and the way his smile doesn't come as quickly or as easily as it usually does. ]

[ For those of you who have been in Kibo for a while, Cisco's a familiar fixture these days, even when she's not seeing to her mentee. Besides, this one miss out on Kalika Shinta's birthday dinner? You must be joking.

The Reynardi is mostly chilling out tonight, mingling with her blademates ( and extended blademates ) and generally catching up with anyone else she hasn't seen in a while. There's also a matter of her seeing the War Hounds again. She'll need a word with at least three of them before the night is over after all. ]

[This one can be found not!snuggling up to Sabina, after having done the round of socializing he likes to call his Dead Man's Rounds. That's as opposed to his Batman Rounds, but no one except Sabina knows that's what he calls them, so far. And, no, she wasn't as amused by his wit as he himself was.

Bug him anytime, he'll probably only be very slightly buzzed because he is being policed. Violently.]
