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.

Setting this post-Renae meeting Brianna LMFAO

[renascens]

[ Grinning and taking that bottle back, thank you very much -- you can get your own. Enough booze to go around tonight anyway.

Taking a swig, turning back to his laptop, but don't worry, his attention's still mostly on you. ]

Oh, I don't know about annoying. Although Dad did refer to you once as a charming fuck, and that at least Mom had the good sense to go for him and not fall for your wiles.

[ He's making easy conversation. He's been keeping tabs on you -- easy enough when you're a Montelibano. "Concerned" is their middle name. ]

The birthday girl is charming.

Heh heh heh.

[icarusalsoflew]

[And it's kind of nice, seeing Renae so talkative, knowing, as well, that he isn't like this with everyone.

What was that about family again? Yeah.

...But wait. What was that, hmm?]

Oh? How charming is "charming" for you?

he did this to himself. love, cisco

[renascens]

[ Okay, yeah. So maybe he walked into that a little too easily. Talking to his Uncle Hikaru has always been an exercise in Renae please learn to develop a filter. ]

She's cute.

[ Still typing, already regretting this conversation. ]

yup. 83

[icarusalsoflew]

Define "cute".

[You ought to be good at that, right? You're fucking brilliant.

And yes, Hikaru Shinta is out to milk this.]

[renascens]

[ If this were a cartoon, there would be neon flashing signs above his head going ABORT ABORT ABORT. ]

She's pretty. And charming.

[ Oh, there's an idea.

Deadpan now and relaxing into typing out more shit. ]

Well, she's your daughter, so it's kind of a given. It's an observation, Uncle. One takeaway from you that I took to heart was to just call things as they are.

[ Looking up now, smiling and genuinely proud of that save and reaching for his pack so that he can light up. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[Against any other person, Renae, that might have been a decent save.]

I'm pretty sure that her being my daughter has little to do with the fact that we're talking about her now.

[renascens]

[ ...Why does he love you. Really. Come on.

Pinning you with a Look. ]

Uncle. It's nothing.

[ Sure, Renae. She's just really pretty in a way that you can't ignore just yet. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

Do I really have to get into an extended discussion with you on how that phrase rarely ever reflects the truth for any of the parties involved?

[And he thought you were smarter than this...]

[renascens]

[ Have a disgruntled look. ]

Which is why I figured you of all people would know that I wouldn't pull the phrase unless I felt that whatever topic on hand was something that didn't need any discussion.

[ He really doesn't want to think too hard on it. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[Chuckles.]

I do, but I also like to tease one of my favorite nephews of all time.

[Hee.]

[renascens]

[ And he's pausing mid-type, also sending you what could be described as a glower.

Or a terrible attempt at one.

SIGH. ]

She seems nice.

[ Shutting that laptop and bringing out his cigarettes now. ] I'm not blind.

[icarusalsoflew]

[Hikaru Shinta Wins Again. Nobody is surprised.]

Of course you're not.

[And already offering you his lighter, since he just lit up for himself.]

[renascens]

You're awful.

[ Saying that with a smile though, and lighting up. Thanks, Uncle. ]

But I love you anyway, so I guess I'm the one who doesn't know any better.

[ A smirk as he relaxes into his seat and takes a long and lazy drag. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

Even the most brilliant minds trip up sometimes.

[Okay, he has tortured you enough for tonight. Standing up and clapping you on the shoulder.]

I'm going to head down to the party, and I expect to see you mingling eventually.

[...He couldn't resist, oops.]

[renascens]

[ Cue lineface, Uncle. ]

I'll do my best.

[ Giving you a little salute at that, and watching you go before he opens his laptop again. ]
