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.

[ Taking that bottle and grinning cheekily back at you, Uncle dearest. ]

Still not my favorite. [ Taking a swig, relishing it and then giving Hikaru a quick peck on the cheek. ] But close. Very close.

[icarusalsoflew]

I would have given you your favorite if you were home more often.

[He's your uncle, ayup.]

[maggienificent]

[ Grinning toothily and taking a second swig. ]

You sound like Mom. [ Said with the utmost fondness. ] So. New daughter, huh?

[icarusalsoflew]

Yeah. She's cute, isn't she?

[Watching Brianna with approval now.]

[maggienificent]

[ Side-eyeing that with a smug smile, sliding her gaze upstairs to where Renae is watching and bridging ( He seems okay. Do you think he looks okay? ) before her brother rolls his eyes at her and goes back to his electronic wife. ]

Well, you always had good taste.

[ Taking another sip because Parental Figure Alpha Wolf is not looking right now.

Speaking of wolves. ]

Why the interest in District Four?

[icarusalsoflew]

[Hah. Cute reference there, girl.]

Don't I always call in favors and ask strange questions?

[:D]

[maggienificent]

That, you do. [ And dodging as always. ]

But she's a favorite of mine so I hope she's not in trouble?

[ Werewolves. Go figure. The n00bs might not like her from the get-go on principle because Changing Breed, but everyone learns to love her eventually. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

No. she's not. As things stand, I'm trying to do someone a favor.

[The kind that comes free of charge, out of the goodness of his own heart.]

[maggienificent]

[ Someone? A favor?

Don't dangle the chicken in front of the fox, Uncle. It's not very nice.

Sidling up, smiling as sweetly as she can manage without giving how interested she is in this information away--

--it's... not working. Subtlety, thy name is NOT Margaret Montelibano-Profaci. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[Nope. It's one of the things that he likes best about you, honestly. Leaves so much room for being that Dick Uncle that you learn to love just as much as you hate.]

What? After you criticize the selection I offered you, you think I'm just going to give you what you want?

[maggienificent]

[ Sidling up to you now, Blade King. And turning those wide and irresistible eyes up at yours.

Oh, she knows it likely won't work. She's an amateur in the presence of a master, okay. But a girl's got to try. ]

I wasn't criticizing. [ Yep, pout engaged. She took your lessons to heart, Uncle. ] How else was I going to get you to slide me more booze while Dad's on I Am Watching You, Margaret-mode.

[ This is how she shows how much she's missed you, okay. A bonafide tsundere, this one. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[Nope. Not going to work. But now he's playing at being Almost Impressed.]

Wow, that was ALMOST convincing! Pretty sure that never works on Cen, though.

[maggienificent]

[ :|

Huffing a little now, because argh, goddamned Blade King. ]

It never does. [ Pouting, pouty, pout pout. ] He's my father, and immune to my wiles. It's okay, because that's Mom's thing and honestly, I was just really happy to walk in here and see him.

[ Sliding a look over now. Legit sincere. ] You, too. [ She's yet to see Alistair, but... she scented that one already. She shall just be a good little hunter and be patient. Let the big fish come her way. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[That's earning you a kiss to the top of your head.]

It's nice to see you too. You're making lots of people happy by being around again.

[Which makes him more happy, of course.]

[maggienificent]

[ DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO GO THERE :| ]

And how about you? How're you doing?

[ Earnest, this one.

She is not going to touch the Aunt Aria topic with a ten-thousand foot long pole. Not when you seem to be in a pretty good mood. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

How do you think? Aren't I as crazy charming and sociopathic as ever?

[DEFLECT, DEFLECT, DEFLECT.]

[maggienificent]

[ PFFFT. FINE DEFLECT. ]

But Uncle Hikaru, deadly charm and crazy sociopathic is what makes you you.

[ Yes, she is drinking again. ]

Your friend is cute.

[ You know. The one you've been looking after all night.

She is her mother's daughter. She is also her father's not-really-angel for precisely the same reason. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

Isn't he just?

[Nope, not denying it. It's the truth, at any rate.

And no, he's not shocked at all at how you noticed. He might have even made fun of you if you didn't.]

[maggienificent]

What's his story -- or am I not allowed to be curious over my uncle's cute and--

[ air quotes time ]

--"younger" friends?

[icarusalsoflew]

You're allowed to do whatever you want, love, as long as you're willing to take responsibility for your actions later.

[:D]

[maggienificent]

[ Now you're just making fun of her. ]

Uncle Hikaruuuu~ [ she's going to loop her arm around yours now. ] Seriously, what's his story? You always find the cute ones. And usually they're interesting.

[icarusalsoflew]

What can I say? I've got excellent taste.

[Still not budging.]
