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.

[And at one point, Renae may look up and find Hikaru at close proximity, looking right at him over the laptop screen.

This Bladian can move very quietly.]

[icarusalsoflew]

[Swinging an arm around your shoulders and holding a bottle out in your direction.]

Good work. You deserve a reward.

after the Hikaru exchange, of course.

[mordechai]

[And during one of the times when he actually ducks inside --

Huh. Lifting an eyebrow in Maggie's direction, wondering if he should.

Nah. Too risky. Heading back out now.

...Or attempting to.]

[clayce]

[And he had been chatting with some of the other senior hunters at the bar when he noticed Riley on the approach. The group he was with was quick to notice as well, and respectfully took their leave. That left more than enough stools open for the Daywalker.

Smiling now, and lifting his glass in his good friend's direction.]

[icarusalsoflew]

[Ah, his old partner-in-crime! This is a pleasant surprise.]

So! Does the Daywalker talk alcohol, or alcohol?

[Naturally, this one has two bottles now, and both of them happen to be among Riley's favorites.]

[kyriff]

[Oh.

Oh.

It's a good thing that he's just finishing up his set. And Selene is giving him a knowing look, of course, one that says go ahead, I'll cover for as long as you need.

Heading down from the turntables now, to wherever Riley happens to be.]

Riley-san.

[Have one flustered, semi-flushed DJ of an angel throwing a tentative smile your way as he comes around.]

[takeitinstride]

[The Kaiser of Netsach is DISAPPROVING, Mr. Falner.

Giving you a Look as you're coming around to her table. No words, just yet. She would very much like you to explain yourself.

(But she is actually kind of happy to see you. Shh.)]

because #ALAT

[larue]

[ Rethe's a litle hard to miss up in the booth, and in spite of being utterly deliberate in ducking the angel, Josh does give into the temptation to check up--

( And maybe check out? )

--oh, shove it, Makoto.

Check up on his friend. ]

:'D

[kyriff]

[And maybe it's complete chance or maybe his vigilance is paying off, but he finally manages to spot Josh.

Problem: he's in the middle of his set, and Selene already covered for him with Riley.

... ._.

Trying to smile anyway, hoping that maybe, if he catches Josh's gaze, they'll actually get to talk after he's done.]

HATE. SO MUCH HAAAATE.

[larue]

[ Oh, ffffffffffffffff--

--turning away now and maybe choking on the inhale and bouncing out of this area as... discreetly as possible because fuck it all I want my life back God, this is Josh, can you just send one lightning bolt my way so much do not want--

( Thought you'd like the fact that he was looki-- )

--Don't start. ]

YOU SIGNED UP FOR THIS.

[kyriff]

[And it hurts a little, seeing Josh turn away like that. The young man probably hated him. It's been known to happen, especially since... well...

Stiff upper lip, then. Focus on the set. If he can't have as much fun as he wants to, the least he could do is make sure that nobody worries about him, and that everyone else has fun.]

[bostova]

[ She's porbably sent close to 42 messages now. Some of them death threats. Some of them genuinely wondering where the fuck he is. Some are just messages telling him that she's this close to punching the living daylights out of the guys who keep coming on to her.

She's bored and anti-social.

Save her, Josh. You're her only hope. ]

O3O HUBBY

[inqdeirdra]

[ Aaand have one wife saunter over to Gideon and sit down beside him, taking a step back and appreciating her... handiwork. ]

Looking comfy, dear.

[inqdeirdra]

[ Since nobody else would even dare steal something from her like that...

Okay fine, she doesn't mind. It's a party.

She grins at Hikaru. ]

If by kill somebody you actually mean alcohol poisoning... [ A flash of mischief in her eyes. ]

Hey, can you blame me? I miss this.

[therealbrianna]

[ Oh doesn't she know that. Friends, yay! ]

Yeap! It's so great to see everyone here. Speaking of, where's your wife?

[therealbrianna]

[ And she's thinking to herself, Wow, Rethe is awfully shy, what does he and Josh talk about when they're together? The way Josh spoke so fondly about him... ]

Must be fun getting to work here! You get to see all the regulars... In fact, Josh was the one who showed me this place.

[therealbrianna]

Oh.

[ A bit sad now, because she doesn't want anybody to not have fun, not on her watch. Not on her birthday celebration. ]

I'm... Sorry.

[therealbrianna]

[ She gladly sits down to join Lia. ]

Not going to say no to that!

[therealbrianna]

[ She can't imagine how it's like to not celebrate the birthdays of her closest friends, so she is ALL for Tala's idea. ]

You totally should! Why haven't you guys been doing that?

[bostova]

[ She looks up from her drink and blinks. She smiles, because Brianna's own is contagious.

But she has to shake her head. ]

No, you look incredible. Happy birthday, again.

[therealbrianna]

[ She spots Brig sitting by the bar, and she yells out his name while making her way to her blade mate. ]

Brig!! [ She's waving a hand at him to make it easier for him to spot her. ]

Yay you're here! And you're wearing what I chose! [ She's gushing, enthusiastic to see Brig out. At a party. Soldier needs a break, yo. ]

I knew I should have made you wear a pink camo.

[therealbrianna]

[ Spotting someone from the corner of her eye who's dressed as fabulously as her, and while she's lingering around, she realizes that it's Riley.

Hopping up to him now! ]

Good evening Mr. Falner! So nice to have you here. [ She gestures to his getup. ]

Fancy seeing someone brighten up the place with tasteful clothes!

[therealbrianna]

[ She spots a familiar face from their Quiapo engagement, and promptly walks up to her. ]

Hello ma'am Cisco! So nice to see you here!

[therealbrianna]

[ And Brianna wonders up the VIP area, looking for someone who looks like they know the club admin. She spots Renae with his nose buried in... work?

Walking up to him now and tapping his shoulder once. ]

Uhm... Excuse me, who can I talk to about possibly cordoning off an area exclusively for party guests?

[ And she means that in the most un-snottiest way she can muster. A group of overeager boys just entered the building. ]

[artedelrumore]

Oh, she's around.

[Getting people drunk. Lol.]

Don't worry about her. I'm sure she's having fun.
