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.

May 26, open to all~

[artedelrumore]

[Have this one sitting serenely at a booth, looking completely unruffled by the noise. Hell, it looks like he's enjoying himself.

This used to be his scene, okay.]

[therealbrianna]

[ Have one Brianna briefly popping in to offer him a drink. ]

Hi sir Gideon! I'm so glad you can make it! [ She then proceeds to make a pa-cute :3 face. ]

I'm not sure what you drink though... Do you like scotch or vodka or rum or beer?

[artedelrumore]

Vodka, please. [Heh.] You're having fun.

[He can see it all over your song.]

[therealbrianna]

[ She successfully grabs the attention of one of the attendants, and politely requests for some vodka for Gideon.

She turns her attention back to Gideon. ]

Yeah! I'm having tons of fun. Everyone I could ever ask for to be here is turning up one by one. I LOVE birthdays.

[ She feels like she can babble on and on to Gideon because well, she did spend time in his class, after all. Even if she missed out on a few... ]

[artedelrumore]

Good. And birthdays do tend to be fun with the right kind of company.

[He didn't USED to think that way, but, well... life.]

[therealbrianna]

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

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

[artedelrumore]

Oh, she's around.

[Getting people drunk. Lol.]

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

[therealbrianna]

[ She scans the crowd and true enough, sees Deirdra pouring drinks into the mouths of a couple of people. ]

Yeah, seems like it. Why don't you join her?

[artedelrumore]

There's no need. I'll just slow her down.

[Smiling, even as he's tapping his cane on the ground for emphasis.]

[therealbrianna]

[ ... Right. ]

It's nice to see you out and about though.

[ Deirdra looks so young while Gideon looks... well, about 50. ]

[artedelrumore]

It's nice to BE out and about. It's been a while since I've been here, actually.

[Looking at that DJ booth with fondness.]

[therealbrianna]

[ Following his gaze. ]

Right! You used to work here!

[artedelrumore]

[Nods.]

I got a few lucky breaks. Haven was one of them.

[Ah, the old days...]

[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? ]

[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]

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

Yeah but you're THE First Minstrel!

[artedelrumore]

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

[Now he's just being mean.]

[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. ]

[artedelrumore]

[HE IS IMMUNE BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Song of Measuring, yo.

Smiling, and giving her a gentle Look. It is still a Look.]

Don't even try it.

[therealbrianna]

[ It still makes her a bit sad, okay!! For like a few seconds. Hehe.

Still giving him the puppy eyes, but she's just sitting there in silence.

Huhuhu. ]

[artedelrumore]

[Serenely ignoring, and bobbing his head to the music.

He is so used to children, it's not even funny.]

[therealbrianna]

[ Huhuhuhu. ;-;

Propping both elbows on the table and cupping her face with both hands.

Okay maybe one last try. ]

Pleaaaaaaaaase? It will make me really happy if you did...

[artedelrumore]

Not this time.

[HE IS THE BASTION OF SERENITY, IMMUNE TO ALL WOMEN EXCEPT HIS WIFE...]

[therealbrianna]

[ WHIPLASH SOUNDS.

Okay maybe she gave up at this point. Back to regular programming, guys. ]

That's okay, but you should tell me when you do plan to take a quick turn on the booth!

[artedelrumore]

I'll consider it. Now go and join your party already.

[Motioning with his cane. Shoo!]
