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.

[ Right. Shit. Um. ]

Renae Montelibano-Profaci.

[ A declaration that is possibly too fast but oddly audible, punctuated by the awkwardest of apologetic smiles ( slow down, bro. )

Take three? ] Sorry. Um, hi. Renae. I'm Cisco's kid. [ Thumb jerked in his mother's direction, before he somewhat swings his gaze to where Maggie has returned, triumphant.

No, he's not going to look at his sister right now. Back to Brianna.

Smile. ]

[therealbrianna]

[ For a split-second, she's looking at him in confusion before it clicks: ohhhh, she was right after all! ]

Oh, cool! Are you like... working?

[renascens]

[ Relaxing now. Good job, self.

Hands in pockets as he smiles back. ]

Somewhat. The parental units and my sister are doing their rounds. I usually take point upstairs. Better to see the bigger picture and spot what they can't because they're up close.

[ That sounds like something a sniper might say, Bri. ]

[therealbrianna]

[ Have a polite smile, because she's not about to be rude to Tita Cisco's son, nope. ]

Ah, that's... A very interesting way to see things, yeah... [ She trails off, but she's looking around his "office". ]

[renascens]

[ And he is getting a brief look on his face that says he might be doing the Awkward Thing again and talking more like a soldier than a person. ]

Sorry, [ sheepish now. ] This-- [ gesturing around with both hands ] --isn't really my usual scene. My folks told me to come along because they needed people to help make your birthday seamless and... I take requests from them pretty seriously.

[ Canting his head to one side though, and jerking a thumb towards the bar. ] Let me buy the birthday girl a drink?

[ It's not quite his father's level of charm, but he tries. ]

[therealbrianna]

[ She doesn't know what to make of Renae yet - but she's certainly getting used to "the awkward type" around here in Netsach.

She grins at him cheerfully. ]

Given that everything's taken care of down there, sure, I wouldn't mind!

[renascens]

[ Leading you now over to the bar and squinting at the bartender currently trying to handle a big group. ]

Any drink in particular?

[ He's not making a move to interrupt the guy. He can handle things from this distance. ]

[therealbrianna]

[ She's learning to love Tequila Rose a lot now. You can blame Lia for that, or rather you can thank Lia for that. ]

Some Tequila Rose, maybe? Nothing too strong.

[renascens]

[ And what you'll see is Renae waiting for the bartender to look his way, and the quirk of a smile as he hold's the other man's gaze.

Not two minutes later there's a glass of doubleshot Tequila Rose for you, Bri, and a glass of red wine for him. ] Cheers.

[therealbrianna]

[ There's an amused look on her face. ]

Nice. Cheers!

[ What a classy fellow. ]

[renascens]

[ Clinking his glass against yours now. Falling quiet, and then-- ]

Hope you like Haven.

[ You'll probably be able to tell that for someone who doesn't think of the club as 'his scene', he sounds really fond of the place. ]

[therealbrianna]

[ She grins and drinks a humble amount. ]

It's not so bad. I mean I did choose to spend my birthday here! Quite a coincidence, really. Sort of did an ocular with my blademate Josh way before without knowing it.

[ She chuckles at remembering that. ]

[renascens]

[ And he is going to slide his gaze towards his drink and shelve the thought of how pretty Brianna's smile looks. ]

It's pretty old in comparison to some of the newer establishments around town. But the music's always great, the drinks are always good, and regulars tend to be very good company.

[ He takes a sip of his wine at that. ]
