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, of course. ♥

[takeitinstride]

[This one is a rare sight in Haven because Liandrin Delacroix supposedly doesn't know the meaning of "party". What makes this even better is the fact that she isn't in her usual Goth Girl Garb, but actually in a club-worthy, hot-as-hell dress. Anything for her number one student at the moment, right?

Anyway, Lia is generally sticking to herself at one table. She's watching the proceedings with a small smile, which means that she doesn't look annoyed, for once.]

[therealbrianna]

[ She spotted Lia slip in one of the tables earlier, and she's bulldozed through the crowd to get to the bar, requesting for a bottle of Tequila Rose.

Then, she makes her way to where Lia is seated. WOW her mentor looks GOOD. ]

I'm sorry ma'am Lia, but you look... WOW. Thanks again for coming! I know this isn't really your scene though.

[ She smiles and gently places the bottle on her table. ]

[takeitinstride]

Thank you. And I promised that I would come.

[And looking appreciatively at the bottle.]

You did not have to get that for me, you know.

[therealbrianna]

I know, but still, I kinda wanted to, student to mentor.

[ And she meant that with all sincerity. ]

[takeitinstride]

[Smiling at that, as she takes it.]

Thank you, then. This does save me quite a bit of trouble.

[And now summoning not one, but two glasses.]

Let's have a round together.

[therealbrianna]

[ She gladly sits down to join Lia. ]

Not going to say no to that!

[takeitinstride]

[And waiting until both glasses are ready before floating one in Brianna's direction, and lifting hers in a toast.

Once that's done:]

Your friends really love you.

[therealbrianna]

[ She thanks Lia graciously, raises up her own glass to toast and taking a sip. ]

Yes well, they should! [ She's joking, of course.

But more seriously now: ] I really love them all too. It's nice to celebrate with them once in a while.

[takeitinstride]

Just once in a while?

[A light smirk.]

There's always an excuse for partying.

[...And who would've thought that anyone would see the day that Inquisitor Liandrin Delacroix would say something like that.]

might angle toward asking about J.:D

[atlas_shrugged]

[ He approaches her with a drink recommended by the bartender ] Good evening, Ma'am, you look good tonight. [ Cause she really does and Brig's just being honest. ] No one with you? Inquisitor Reyes?

oh, okay. o.o

[takeitinstride]

Thank you. And no, no one else is with me.

[...She won't bother saying exactly where Lorenzo is at the moment, because it isn't the Arcanum.]

Good luck to me getting there though. haha

[atlas_shrugged]

[ Different outfit, same Inquisitor ] Mind if I join you for awhile? For you, Ma'am. [ He offers her the drink he ordered from the bartender for her ]

I SHALL MAKE IT HAPPEN.

[takeitinstride]

You may. And thank you.

[This is interesting. They have not talked much before.]

She reminds me of one of the Partners here in my firm. The untalkable.

[atlas_shrugged]

Not a problem, Ma'am. [ He takes a swig of his nth Corona for the night. It's the first time he's ever interacted with Inquisitor Delacroix outside Netsach business. And it still feels like Netsach business for him, even at Brianna's birthday party. ]

I'm sorry if it seems I'm making small talk. [ With her, particularly ] It's just... well, I like to get to know the people who I work under. It's always been a thing of mine.

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.

Talkey-talkey with the Untalkable!

[atlas_shrugged]

There's nothing in particular, really, Ma'am. Just friendly conversation. [ He lights up his own cigarette and smiles. ] But now that you mention it: would you know how Jessica Leitman is doing as an Initiate of the Arcanum? Your personal assessment?

[takeitinstride]

She's performing excellently, and it might be because she appears to be particularly driven towards a certain goal.

[Lia's expression says that she totally knows what that goal is, and may even be staring at it in the face right now.]

AHAHAHAHA BECAUSE I WANTED IT

[maggienificent]

[ She just needs... five minutes to recalibrate.

Just five.

Curling up underneath one of the seats.

She'll be good to do the rounds again in a bit. ]

lolol

[takeitinstride]

[And Liandrin is bending down to peer at you with a smirk and a lifted eyebrow.]

Well, well, well.

lol maggie wry you choose dis chair

[maggienificent]

[ And of course, that voice has her stiffening.

It's a little like getting caught sleeping in the middle of class.

Have two eyes blinking up at you, Miss Lia.

( Hello... Ma'am Liandrin. )

Ears folding back against her head now. ]

because this is amazing.

[takeitinstride]

Hello, Margaret. You look rather tired.

[Said in That Sort of Tone. The We Both Know Why You're Here Tone.]

cries hahahahaha

[maggienificent]

[ Yep. Those ears go any further into her head she won't have any left to speak of.

( I'm um, just... taking a break. )

How is Ninong not afraid of you. Ever. ]

[takeitinstride]

Really? I can't imagine why you, of all people, would have to.

[Lies, lies, lies. Snark, snark, snark.]

[maggienificent]

[ CRY.

( I may have had a bit too much... to drink? )

MAW.

Scuttling back juuuust a little into the dark of that chair TYVM. ]

[takeitinstride]

[Just As Planned.

This one is perfectly content to remain exactly where she is, as if she is daring you to move. Ah, the simple joys in life...]
