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.

[ She actually realizes that, but still. ]

Can't help the way I am. I like them all though. I just attract that type.

[ Looking at the Blade King as if saying 'I can say the same for you. ]

[artedelrumore]

[...Good thing that was light.]

It's the truth.

[icarusalsoflew]

[He doesn't know what that look means, Dee! (Not. Of course he does.)]

Well, you ARE charming in your own special way...

lol

[justselene]

Thanks!

[Smiling as she's taking that drink.]

I think I'm much better up there, though, or with my harp. Pretty sure you figured that much out all on your own already, though.

[inqdeirdra]

[ WOW, Hikaru. ...Okay no, she missed this silly banter. ]

If you weren't the Blade King...

[inqdeirdra]

[ Heee. Who ever knew she'd enjoy playful teasing like this? ]

You are so dead when we get home.

[therealbrianna]

[ She smiles up at Josh. ]

Why thank you! Wouldn't have found this amazing place if not for you, really. I have you to thank!

[therealbrianna]

[ She smiles at Brig. ]

Well, anything I can do for the blade daddy!

[ And it's true given how many times Brig has been very protective of her, trying his best to keep her out of harm's way while letting her learn at the same time. ]

Actually since Josh showed me this place, I think I'm going to be around here a lot now!

[therealbrianna]

[ Right this is Yulia she is talking to. ]

Well, what can I do to make you have some fun?

[ She means that with all sincerity, being the gracious host that she is. ]

[therealbrianna]

[ And she's totally taking Lia's words into consideration. ]

I swear I won't embarrass myself both as Brianna and as your favorite student.

[ Okay she might be a little buzzed already. ]

[atlas_shrugged]

Weapons of choice? [ It's meant to be a metaphor but Brig suddenly feels awkward bringing up his lifestyle in a club. Uhh... but she's an operative too so that's sort of fine, right? He here's the Brands voices in his head, telling him how awfully serious he is. He doesn't bother asking if she's ever turned up to a fight with a turntable. ] Haven't yet heard you on the harp, Ma'am, but yes your set on the turntable felt more your style.

[therealbrianna]

[ Unleash the puppy eyes, but she knows sucking up never worked on Gideon, but still. Who knows? ]

Yeah but you're THE First Minstrel!

[atlas_shrugged]

[ He's not quite sure how to take that. Yes, he's the oldest (technically, Brianna's 500 years of Arcadia not included) of the Blade but... stop overthinking it. And just take it. ] You put it in such a nice way, Bri. I know I'm the blade's over-protective stiff. [ He laughs as he says it, obviously taking it as a compliment. Someone's got to do it. Watch over these kids. Yes, even Taning at times. ] You guys are special to me.

Well, then at least I can always try to look for your face in the crowd if ever I find myself wandering into Haven. [ Then belatedly ] Your parents relaxing a bit on the reins? Or are you going faerie rebel? [ He's chuckling at the thought ]

[therealbrianna]

If I was a rebel, would you shoot me down?

[ She's joking with Brig's soldier side.

Because she's already slightly buzzed and totally makes jokes like that now. ]

Actually, my parents have always let me do what I want, as long as what I want doesn't get in the way of the things I have to do! Like school... [ Yeah right Brianna, school? Like you really went to school. ] ...uhm, Hunting duties, family things... Yeah!

[justselene]

That's nice to hear. At least I know that I'm doing SOMETHING right... I admit that more contemporary music was a bit of an acquired taste for me before.

[takeitinstride]

[Chuckling.]

That's good enough for me. Now why don't you go and have fun with everybody else? Don't let me hold you back.

[icarusalsoflew]

I would've thought that me being the Blade King was your favorite part about me.

[inqdeirdra]

Used to be. Now I actually like you for who you are. Maybe you forget that I'm a real girl now.

[ Aside from the fact that he's helped her butt out a couple of other times, and not just on the field. He did help her find her mom, among other things.

Handing him back one of the bottles, and raises up another one against Hikaru's. ]

Cheers to that, hm?

[artedelrumore]

[With an exaggerated bow in your direction, in his seat. Complete with flourish.]

I am always and ever at your disposal, my lady.

[artedelrumore]

Well, maybe if you had performed better in my class, I would have considered it...

[Now he's just being mean.]

[inqdeirdra]

[ Gideon.... ]

You should drink some more.

[therealbrianna]

[ She nods and is about to stand when -- Crap. She shifts in her seat as if she was just fixing her dress. ]

Uhm, I'll just chill out here first, if you don't mind. [ Have a Brianna with the biggest grin on her face because really, REALLY?! This had to happen in front of Lia? Ah, well. ]

[takeitinstride]

[She saw nothing.

(Yes, she did.)]

Go right ahead.

[icarusalsoflew]

Cheers.

[And toasting, of course, before he's chugging a hefty amount down. He and Deirdra were drinking buddies, yanno.]

I'm positively touched that you have a particular fondness for my sociopathic tendencies.

[therealbrianna]

[ Sad puppy eyes now, since the regular ones didn't work.

She's pretty sure even Gideon won't make her cry (or fake-cry) on her birthday celebration. ]

But.. I... Did everything I could... Things were difficult, okay.

[ And maybe she meant that last part. Booze makes her spill, k. ]
