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.

Used to be. Now I actually like you for who you are. Maybe you forget that I'm a real girl now.

[ Aside from the fact that he's helped her butt out a couple of other times, and not just on the field. He did help her find her mom, among other things.

Handing him back one of the bottles, and raises up another one against Hikaru's. ]

Cheers to that, hm?

[icarusalsoflew]

Cheers.

[And toasting, of course, before he's chugging a hefty amount down. He and Deirdra were drinking buddies, yanno.]

I'm positively touched that you have a particular fondness for my sociopathic tendencies.

[inqdeirdra]

[ Leave it to the Blade King to make something such as that sound absolutely charming and just overall nice-sounding. ]

Mind you, I do have standards for my sociopathic friends.

[icarusalsoflew]

And I'm sure you set that bar very high after you met me.

[It's one of his special talents.]

[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]

[ 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.

[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.

[icarusalsoflew]

[He's quiet for a bit too long, or maybe he just wanted to focus on scanning the crowd, putting another cig to his lips and lighting up first.

Maybe.]

That's how it is for a lot of us. Still, somebody has to start somewhere, right?

[inqdeirdra]

[ Biting her lip before smiling again. It's a party. Should be having fun. She shakes her head before stretching out her arms. ]

What better time to start? I do see a couple of us.

[icarusalsoflew]

And you might as well herd them into one place. You're good at that.

[In the meantime, he's spotting Joshua LaRue again, looking like he needs another means of avoiding Rethe Kyriff.]

Let me know how it goes? I'm going to go off not-so-gently into the night for a bit.

[And it's partially because he wouldn't want to impose on Wolf's Choice if they DID end up sitting together tonight, touching base, talking on old times.]

[inqdeirdra]

[ Following Hikaru's gaze and -- aww Blade King. ]

I think I just might. Join us whenever if you're not too preoccupied.

[ Gesturing at the bottle in his hand. ]

You can... Keep that.

[icarusalsoflew]

Much obliged, my lady.

[And with a crooked smile and a tip of that bottle, he's off.]

[inqdeirdra]

[ Rolling her eyes in a joking manner at 'my lady, before smiling at him one last time.

Now. Off to hunt for her friends. ]
