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's amused at how Brig probably hasn't seen a lookbook before, but she doesn't mind.

She's never really seen a shield that big either, so it cancels out. ]

SENT: 06:02 PM
They're kind of like pegs, really. :) just to show you what
I have in mind so far. We can always have you try them on
at the actual store so we can get a better idea!

[atlas_shrugged]

[ He'd be so lost at this without this sweet kid. ]

SENT: 06:04 PM
I'm game for anything.:)

[ Using smileys seem so... awkward. But he feels he can get used to it, since it'll probably make Brianna feel like he isn't a lost cause. ]

SENT: 06:05 PM
I like the brown shoes. The clothes on top on the left I think I could pull of, except for the kerchief maybe. But if you want me to wear it, I will.

[ He can't help but follow up with one more text very quickly. ]

SENT: 06:05 PM
Do the pants really have to be that tight?:|

All the pretty

[ktotheatothez]

[Kaz is no stranger to clothes, of course, but it's not his day - it's Brianna's. He thought it'd be best to let her dress him to her approval. He's done it to his sister, fitting that he should do it for his new sister.

When he receives the set, his eyes shine because those sneakers are gorgeous. He could pair it with the first ensemble, and the white gloves Brianna had given him, because he loves them. They'd gotten a little dusty during his walk, but he'd cleaned them.

...There may also have been some unmanly screeching.]

SENT: 06:00 PM
They're gorgeous, Brianna. I don't think I can pull off leather pants, but that first set and the first sneakers, most definitely.

*u*

[therealbrianna]

[ She laughs at the idea of seeing Kaz in leather pants.

Actually, she laughs at the idea of seeing anyone in the Philippines wearing leather pants, save for models on a runway, of course. Besides, things might get heated in Haven. Giggle. ]

SENT: 06:03 PM
SO GLAD you like 'em. :) We can pick out the clothes and the shoes at any mall anytime soon!
That way you can try them on in your size, and maybe mix and match the pieces in accordance to what you like! :)
v.v. happy you agreed to this, Kaz!! <3

[therealbrianna]

[ She laughs at the succession of texts from Brig that come in. ]

SENT: 06:07 PM
Wow Brig, you are old! Silly Billy, we can go to the actual
physical store to check out the separate pieces. :) We can also
get them in your size obvi, so no, if you're not comfortable
with tight pants, they can tailor them for you. It's on me. :)

[atlas_shrugged]

[ Hey! But what could he say? It was true. Ironic, from the 520 year old Changeling. But well. Yeah. That. He takes a deep breath and pushes it out of his mind. ]

SENT: 06:10 PM
I just want to wear what would make you happy on your birthday.:) And no. I'll pay for it. You don't have to. Thank you though for the offer.:)

[therealbrianna]

[ But...they're...branded...

Now she feels awkward, and doesn't know how to spin it. Telling Brig he can't afford it is just too... Direct.

Oh what the heck, it's my party and I'll cry if I want to, right? ]

SENT: 06:12 PM
Uhm, hehe. No offense, Brig but...



Ehehe. :s

Enter the Derp

[atlas_shrugged]

[ Brigade looks at the photo. "Branded"? Branded? He remembers that Brianna's family is extremely well-off and it's as if a small version of him went up to this shoulder and did an All-Out Attack with its tiny version of his shield and hit him in the face.

He can think of a hundred to a thousand ways to complete a mission or take down a mark... and he gets all derpy as to this. Hurrdurr. ]

SENT: 06:15 PM
Thank you, Bri. You don't have to, but thank you so much. I'll make it up to you somehow.

[ Brig thinks on the Sakura seeds he brought home from Japan. He's really going to have to talk to Chief Eli and Sensei An'yu about helping him make his birthday gift to her happen. ]

Derpy Brig is derpy

[therealbrianna]

[ She smiles at Brig's reply. As if they haven't done enough for her already. ]

SENT: 06:16 PM
It's the only way I can repay you for having my back. :)
Might be dead now if not for you guys, hihi!

[ She may say it lightly, but it means a lot to her. ]

Hurr durr herp derp

[atlas_shrugged]

SENT: 06:20 PM
We're never going to let that happen. Not ever.:)

I'll see you soon, Bri. Just tell me if I need to come over or go to the mall with you to fit them. I'll make time.

[ Always going to have this kid's back. And always going to want her to be shooting cover fire for him. ]

[therealbrianna]

[ Friend is being sweet and caring! Yay! :3 ]

SENT: 06:22 PM
I know you guys won't. :) Sure, I'll update you!

[bladeweaver]

[Haven's not really his jam, but nope, you didn't say no to Brianna. You do not want to be the subject of her displeasure. Besides, it could be fun!]

SENT: 03:05 PM
Did you have to put down your true age? :) I'll be there.

[Oh, wait...]

SENT: 03:08 PM
Is there a dress code or something? I am really not familiar with the club scene...

[therealbrianna]

SENT: 03:06 PM
Cause I'm honest! O:) Yaay! Thanks Taning!

[ Minutes later...

She laughs at the second text Taning sent in. There really is no dress code but... ]

SENT: 03:10 PM
Yeap. Totally strict. :)

[bostova]

SENT: 04:10 PM
I will be there.

[ So. Problem one solved-- after writing and rewriting the text, anyway. The next one involved getting her a present, but... what would she like? Should she ask her? But that would ruin the surprise that came with getting a gift... Why is this so difficult? ]

[therealbrianna]

[ Wow, she managed to make Yulia say yes. This is unexpected. Family! Yay! ]

SENT: 04:11 PM
Cool, I'll see you there! :)

[bladeweaver]

[WHAT IS THIS DRESS CODE?!?!?!]

SENT: 03:15 PM
I don't know what to wear :( :( :(

[therealbrianna]

SENT: 03:17 PM
Maybe I can be of assistance. :) If that's okay with you?

[bladeweaver]

SENT: 03:19 PM
YES PLEASE oh thank goodness. You're awesome, Bri.

[therealbrianna]

[ Takes her time to reply because she's pulled in some favors with contacts at several clothing stores. ]

SENT: 05:52 PM
Hope you like! :) These are just looks from some stores.
If you see something you like, we can totes go over there and shop! <3

And thanks, I know I'm awesome. <3

[bladeweaver]

[Taning really likes the first top combination, and those really swabe-looking snakeskin shoes.]

SENT: 06:02 A/PM
I'm really liking those snakeskin shoes. Do you think the first top set would fit it?

Thanks for being my fashion sherpa :)) You know I need one!

[therealbrianna]

[ Silly Taning is silly! ]

SENT: 06:03 PM
We can actually shop for them IRL so we can have a better look at the fit, match and all. :)
And I am so willing to give fashion advice anytime!

edited because i fail and mixed the days up ._.

[larue]

[ It takes him a while to respond, because Rhiannon is ridiculously busy and he's swept up in all of the things that are expected of him as Gabriel's shadow -- meetings, discussions, errands when necessary.

But he does get his cigarette break, and he's reading through her message as he lights up and grins. ]

SENT: 07:23 PM
wouldn't miss it for the world :)
sorry for the late response. it's been an
pretty insane morning here in london.
but will definitely be there, bri.

[ Five hundred and twenty. Only Brianna could make it sound so young. ]

Isokay c:

[therealbrianna]

[ So she's already made a outfit peg for Josh cos she's made one for everyone else anyway.

Force of habit. And excitement. Definitely excitement. ]

SENT: 07:25 PM
Great! :) and it's okay, I don't mind. You should totes tell me all about it.
Btdubs, I made you something cause... I made one for everyone else. Tihee. :)
Nothing major or anything, just some outfit help, should you need it.
We can go shopping for 'em when we're both free! :)

[larue]

[ Taking a puff now as the photos load on his phone, and grinning goofily when his suspicions are confirmed.

One of the things that he'd asked Brianna to help him with sometime after he'd started working at Rhiannon was to upgrade his closet a little. It wasn't very hard, Brianna had a good eye and was surpringly easy to talk to about clothing choices. ]

SENT: 07:27 PM
those gray sneaks look awesome.
and the second outfit looks great.

[ He liked the first one too, but his brain's a little wired towards items that he can use for work. ]

am just not sure when i'll be able to catch
up with you to hunt this up :c rhiannon kind of
functions on a 25/8 work week.

[therealbrianna]

[ She's thinking about how she can go about this. Shopping may seem like such a mundane task for Josh, given his incredibly busy schedule. Still, Brianna's so proud of Josh and of everything he's done. She's proud of everyone.

Finally, she figures she can do something special for Josh. ]

SENT: 07:30 PM
Hmm. Send me your sizes and I'll take care of it, I promise! :)

Lol Dark Hour.
