A Late Birthday Party / MAY 26, 2063 Night

[therealbrianna]

[ After a short "vacation" at Tokyo, Brianna sends a text to her friends. It's a general invitation that stretches from her blade mates to her mentors, to well, the whole of Netsach (as long as she knows them. Also extends to some Zangyaku friends). Of course, she asks her parents for permission first. ]

SENT: 03:00 PM

Hello friend! It would make me very happy if you could make it to Haven this Saturday to celebrate my 520th birthday. Drinks on me. :)

- OOC note: Feel free to tag in whenever you like, whatever you like.

[bostova]

[ Have a raised eyebrow. ]

And you did not think to tell me this before I wasted my time sending you all those messages?

[bostova]

[ Yeeeah, Kaz. She knows.

She takes another sip of her drink, then shrugs. ]

Not mine. I only asked for vodka, and I was told this had vodka. [ She shrugs again. ]

[therealbrianna]

[ Trying to use her puppy eyes now as she asks Gideon for a small birthday present. ]

Why don't you play a set? Or even a song?

[ Please oh please oh please, it's my birthday pleaaase. Just one song please please? ]

[therealbrianna]

[ Small sigh. ]

Okay then, I hope you do find something neat or fun to do while you're here.

[ She gets ready to get back inside. ]

Bye, Daddystair!.

[artedelrumore]

Oh, I don't know... Rethe and Selene are both a lot better than me now.

[But now he's considering it. Uh-oh.]

[therealbrianna]

[ She grins at Lia, and at the same time she's touched at how concerned she is for Brianna's Funtime™. ]

I will! Besides, I got this to document the night. [ She holds out her phone. ]

Can do it even when I'm buzzed!

[ Or completely out of it and detached from reality, as was the case in Mexico. ]

[bostova]

Of course I will be there for her. I would be a horrible blademate if I did not.

[ Thanks for the vote of confidence, Tala. ]

[takeitinstride]

Don't say that I didn't warn you, then.

[She's totally going to check the stuff on that phone out, whether you know it or not, later.]

[therealbrianna]

B T W, just get as much drinks as you want, okay? And remember to have fun!

[ She leans on the bar. ]

Why aren't you out there, though?

[ She knows that Yulia isn't the type to socialize but still, there are a couple of higher ranking Hunter around who Yulia can totally talk to about, well... battle things. ]

[thetalavega]

[You're welcome. ♥]

Good that you know it, then. I reserve the right to be protective of my bestie!

[therealbrianna]

[ Aaand she's giggling, because there is NO way she would resist to that. Because physically, she can't.

She does notice Brig looking especially protective, not because there's a danger looming around, but... well, boys. ]

Thanks! Hope you've having a great time. I can take care of myself, you know. [ She's still giggling with a hand over her mouth. ]

Preeeetty sure I'm used to this kind of stuff. [ A voice at the back of her head goes: Really though, are you? but she's showing no tell-tale signs of that. ]

Well, thanks for trusting my fashion sense and you know I do agree with K! Maybe I should dress you up more often!

[bostova]

[ She looks over to where most people are, either mingling or dancing to the music, or doing whatever it was that people do at Haven. Where does she even start... ]

It is really not my.. [ how did one of those boys she rejected say it was-- ] ..scene.

[ She's only here for you, Brianna. ]

[bostova]

She will be in good hands.

[ She swears on her life! ]

unexpected CR reason for Brig to customize his outfit is embraced happily! Also,Brianna's trauma.:(

[atlas_shrugged]

[ Brigade gives her a look ] I know you can. But it doesn't mean I or the rest of the Hounds won't still watch out for you. [ He's smiling as he says this ]

I'm having great time actually. It's all so new to me [ He motions to everything ] but I'm glad you gave me the chance of finally experiencing EDM in a club. I, well, never had the chance because of Disquiet.

And yes, I am very open to you dressing me up more. [ He really is ] Just go easy on me, okay? No high fashion and wild haute couture? [ He lets out a laugh ]

let's situate this after Brianna and Brig? haha. And feel free to pick on Brig

[atlas_shrugged]

[ Brigade smiles. He's feeling more comfortable in the clothes now, really, thanks to Brianna, and now Kaz as well. The reassurance is comforting ] Thanks. I'm still kinda' getting used to them, but it's a start.

You're looking good as always. Like you and Brianna were born to wear this stuff. [ Well, technically, they were; Brig thinks this to himself ]

[ He is oblivious to the fact that he's being checked out. ]

O m g YES

[therealbrianna]

Actually... I think I should be watching out for you too.

[ Smirking now as a couple of girls pass by, nudging at each other and eyeing Brig. ]

I'd like to think I did a really good job but hey, even the priciest of clothes can look like rags on the wrong people. [ Viciously eyeing those tacky girls who think they stand a chance with Brianna's Captain America of a blade mate. Also may have said the latter part out loud. ]

Anyway~ [ Her voice turns sweet again. ] It's not a problem. Glad you're enjoying! How're you liking Haven so far? I'd guess this is your first time here?

[thetalavega]

Excellent. Then I guess I don't have anything to worry about.

[Turning away now, with a little wiggle of her fingers.]

Enjoy yourself tonight, okay? See you around~

I can have him wear more spiffy clothes now too.Probably keep the Netsach Coat on though.:))

[atlas_shrugged]

[ Brigade glances to where Brianna was looking and sees two skimpily dressed women. It's all just skin to Brig but he admits they do, in fact, do not carry what they're wearing, and not wearing, well at all. His standards for fashion have been set a lot higher since meeting Brianna and Kaz, and the bar only moved higher with her exquisite choice for her birthday ] It's like they ran out of money to buy cloth or something.

[ He looks back at Brianna, no attention given to the women at all which would need returning to the Hounds Princess ] Thank you. That would've been awkward. [ He smiles at her ] I'm loving it very much. I'm already thinking about speaking to Selene again later, and maybe Inquisitor Kyriff. He gives the metaphor "symphony of Angels'" a whole new meaning.

Yeah, [ His smile turns sheepish ] it is. Never really had the [ He looks for the word ] guts[?] to come over here alone. And we all got pretty busy, pretty fast so I was never able to take Josh up on his offer to take me here.

[larue]

[ He'd barely glanced at his phone, so he's not entirely sure how many messages she's sent him to be absolutely exact, but he does know that it was more than twenty -- and for Yulia Bostova... that's kind of a lot.

Okay, he might be feeling a little better. ]

I guess I was more surprised that you noticed my absence enough to check up.

[ Teasing. Just a little.

And then noting the outfit with an impartial eye. ]

Did Brianna shop for you, too?

[larue]

[ Giving her a hug then, because birthday girl aaand maybe lifting her up because she's kind of teeny compared to him. Ish.

Finally setting her down and looking around. ] Place looks great, Bribri. Awesome party.

[larue]

[ Lighting up now, and taking a long, but sadly unsatisfying drag. ] It's Brianna. [ His blademate, his friend. The girl he'd sat down with and had gotten to know over talk of music and concern for the man standing right beside him, the same one he'd used his Sin-Eater abilities for so that he could help her sneak out of her house just so they could have fun on a Sunday night at this very club.

Looking her way now and managing a smile before he lifts the cigarette back to his lips. ]

You were right. She would have wondered. And, [ slipping his phone out to show the numerous notifications showing Yulia Bostova has sent you a message. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[That makes Hikaru laugh.]

I should have figured. She's looking a little stiff over there.

[Oh, Yulia.]

Because EDMzzz!

[atlas_shrugged]

[ A bit more relaxed now after being approached and hanging out with his Blademates, Brigade approaches Selene Vega again. It's only his second time to really talk with her, and also only the second time he's seen her play. But this time, it's not on a koto. ] And I thought you were wicked on the koto, Ma'am. [ He smiles, holding out to her her choice drink as per the bar's recommendation ]

just because opportunity for CR has finally arisen.:D

[atlas_shrugged]

[ She looks so relaxed tonight; so totally in her element. Should be, her husband owns the bar from what the files say. It's so very different from the slightly-informal but still very prepared and in control way she carried herself at the Quiapo engagement. ]

Good evening, Ma'am. [ Brig smiles at her. He's a bit more relaxed now, having gone around a bit already ] I'd offer you a drink but I'm pretty sure you get drinks for free here. [ He chuckles. It'd be like offering to buy the owner something they already own ]

[inqdeirdra]

[ Faking a shocked expression. ]

Wow. Thanks, dear. That means a lot.

[ But she puts on a small smile again while very weakly punching him on the arm. ]
