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.

Brig goes out for a bit of air and catches Alistair outside?

[atlas_shrugged]

Needed some air as well? Or just definitely not your scene? [ Brigade walks up beside him and lights up a cigarette. He puffs circles while watching the cars go by ]

CAUSE HE'S IN A SUIT!

[atlas_shrugged]

[ Brig sees Riley and approaches Big Boss' "savior". ] If I'd known I could come in a suit, Sir, I might've opted to do just that. [ He only half means it. The clothes Brianna picked for him are growing on him ] But the birthday girl's request that this stiff tries to wear something other than his uniform or his usual brown, bomber jacket. [ He has a scotch glass in one hand and offers it to Riley ]

Sure, I wouldn't mind that.

[ktotheatothez]

[If Kaz preens a little bit, it's only because it's Brig. And he snorts, because Brigade is a looker himself, and he's not about to leave a bro hanging. So he claps the Promethean on his back, a smile on his face.]

I'm not too sure about born, but you really do look awesome... I think you've turned quite a few heads tonight, my friend.

sure, sure~

[mordechai]

Not my scene.

[Glancing over at Brig just to say that, then turning back to the street.]

LMAO that nickname kind of fits her :))

[takeitinstride]

No need to apologize. You're curious, so...

[And lighting up a cigarette.]

Ask what you need to.

[inqdeirdra]

[ Giving Brig a small smile and a thank you. ]

I drink anything. I don't think you should be giving this one anything too strong. [ She's gesturing to her husband. ]

Or do anyway, I don't mind. It's always funny seeing him drunk.

[inqdeirdra]

Someone sure thinks highly of himself, hm?

[ Not that she didn't expect that or anything. They probably just really like annoying the fuck out of each other in a playful way. Good thing Deirdra learned how to do humor. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

Well, half of being awesome is really believing that you are, right?

[Hee. =w=]

I mean, belief is partially responsible for making you a real girl, so.

[inqdeirdra]

You are so going to regret this.

[ Takes the liberty of pouring it directly in his mouth anyway. Lol, he did ask for it. Tihee. ]

[inqdeirdra]

[ Gahd... ]

More like your daughter is partially responsible for that.

[ Shaking her head, feigning trauma in a joking way.

All those shopping trips where Tala would fool Deirdra into thinking that she just needs some muscle to help her out with bags...

Okay maybe a part of her was willing to embrace some change. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

If it helps, that is kind of the way that she shows her love for you.

[Have you SEEN the way the shit in his closet changes itself every month?]

[inqdeirdra]

Don't I know it.

[ Short pause here. ]

I... actually miss our "girl dates" - [ She actually makes air bunnies at that. ] - as tedious as they can be for me. That's probably why they mean a lot more to me now.

[icarusalsoflew]

[Ah. Well.]

The lot of you HAVE been busy lately. Still, I'm pretty sure that if you brought it up with Tala, she'd readily indulge you.

[ktotheatothez]

Then, allow me to assist in your endeavor.

[He chuckles. But he's also going to stop himself from drinking too much tonight, just so.]

So, what're you having right now?

[inqdeirdra]

[ Actually considering it, but if there's something that Deirdra respects, it's space. Unless you're Aria or Anton, then she'll smother you. ]

I'll give that some thought.

[ She says this with a slight squint. When they do get together again, they will probably have more serious things to talk about. But a bit of old time's sake kind of normalcy would be nice too. Nevertheless, working closely with Eli did mean seeing Tala a lot. Just not enough. THEN you still have just around 20 more people to check in on... No big deal. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[He'll just watch you with a little smile for a bit, and then take another swig from his drink.]

It's been a long time for everyone, hasn't it?

[inqdeirdra]

[ Taking a prompt from Hikaru and gulping down some real tasty liquor as well. ]

Longer than it should be. But it's... [ How do you term that, given everything that's happened. Hm. ]

It's difficult. We let too many things be without so much as a word.

[ktotheatothez]

[Kaz 'hmms' at that and takes another long sip of his drink.]

At the risk of bodily harm, who do we have to thank for your ensemble?

[It's good-natured ribbing, and he really does think she looks pretty in what she's wearing.]

[therealbrianna]

[ There's a mischievous glint in her eyes. Uh-oh, Kaz. ]

Hmm what do you want? Cause you're gonna have to promise to take shots with me.

[ Giggling while batting her eyelashes now. ]

Pleaaase?

[bostova]

[ She frowns, huffing, before she takes a shot. She mutters something under her breath to the lines of, should have still sent a message. She huffs, hoping that would take all the negative energy away, too.

At the question, she shakes her head. ]

Tala Vega, actually.

[atlas_shrugged]

Really? [ Brigade suddenly looks around to check what Kaz is saying. Still very much in denial. He doesn't count the tacky women from earlier. ] Thanks though, I'm still getting used to the new duds. They're... new. [ He smiles and waves one of the bartenders for a drink for his friend ]

[bostova]

[ She... isn't quite sure how to answer that question, really. ]

More vodka[...???]

[bostova]

... Tala Vega.

shy bb is shy

[ktotheatothez]

H-hi...

[Didn't I already say that?

He does notice Renae's eyes on his necklaces, and he wonders which one Renae has an eye on, unsure if it is the bottlecap. He resists the urge to put the necklaces in his shirt.]

I just kind of needed a few. Gotta pace myself at a party like this.

[atlas_shrugged]

Beer it is, I guess. Although I'm up for getting other people other than your husband drunk. [ Brig chuckles. Brianna was already on her way. Kaz would likely follow. And where was Taning?? ] Seems like you've got several others from your blade here too. Planning on flooring them as well?
