[RL - birthday party.]

[unknownrival]

[Anyone who's one of Issei's friends (that does not include you, Greed) received a handwritten invitation to Issei's temple on March 3rd. They were invited over to dinner and then to schmoozing afterwards.

Dinner was remarkably delicious for something prepared by monks, and the party is now in the 'random conversation in the largest room available' segment. There's also a cake on one of the tables.

Issei will be coming to chat up every guest, or they can talk amongst themselves.]

[standing awkwardly in the corner.

oh my god she isn't prepared for this at all. she doesn't know these losers and she hasn't been to a birthday party in like ten years and now that they're not eating she doesn't know what to do and she got worldhopped here from prison. she doesn't have a present or flowers and she's still wearing her stupid grey prisoner's suit because she doesn't have anything else.

so she's looking distinctly uncomfortable, trying to avoid everyone, and regretting her entire life right now. this makes her fairly noticeable.]

[unknownrival]

[Naturally, Issei spots her, considering that he's looking for her. Let none go unsocialized at this party.

As though he would care about her prisoner's suit, hmmph. She wasn't brought here to look pretty at his party.]

Good evening, Takami. Did you enjoy the meal?

[jailbirds]

[she clears her throat awkwardly and crosses her arms, trying to look grumpy instead of uncomfortable.]

Yeah, it was fine, I guess. Happy Birthday or whatever.

[unknownrival]

Thank you. I'm glad you decided to come.

[jailbirds]

I was in prison. I'm not gonna turn down a chance to move more than three feet. [pause.] ... I wasn't meant to bring presents or anything, right?

[unknownrival]

I think under the circumstances you can get a pass. It's good enough just to see you.

[jailbirds]

I'll get you something when I have a garden again. How old are you now?

[unknownrival]

Twenty-one.

[Yeah, yeah, he knows he doesn't look it.]

[jailbirds]

[she just. stares at him.]




How are you three years older than me.

[unknownrival]

It's a talent I have.

[jailbirds]

Don't get smart with me, asshole!

[unknownrival]

I'm not sure what a serious answer to that would be. Because I was born twenty-one years ago?

[jailbirds]

Everyone's always older than me! It sucks! You don't even look twenty-one!

[never mind that she doesn't even look eighteen....]

[thekidsare0kay]

[Hey, someone who looks as uncomfortable as he does. He sidles closer to the alien... well, she has no horns so he can't tell if she's a girl or a boy alien, but he guesses it doesn't matter]

...Hi, I'm Thollukth.

[jailbirds]

[for a moment, she just stares at him, faintly surprised - and then she turns her head away in a jerky motion.]

Yeah, I know. You've probably already heard the whole "you were here before" speech, right? I met you last time. I know a bunch of your dipshit friends, too. [and he was one of her favourites, but she's not going to say that.] Minatsuki Takami. Hey.

[thekidsare0kay]

Oh yeah? Thorry, I don't remember you. [Yeah, he's already heard that speech a few times] Nithe to meet you again, then, Minatthuki. [He frowns] Mind if I call you Mina, inthtead?

[jailbirds]

It's fine. Might be better that way. I taught you some pretty gross stuff. [she pauses, then.] ... Th-that stupid nickname... Okay, fine! But only because of your dumbass lisp, got it?

[thekidsare0kay]

What kind of grothh thtuff? [Oops, now he's curious, though he scowls a little at the mention of his lisp. Still, she sort of reminds him of Terezi, so he gets that she's probably not being serious.] It'th not becauthe of my lithp, it'th becauthe you're too cute to have thuch a weird long name.

[jailbirds]

[jailbirds]

[thekidsare0kay]

Wow, you'll jutht have to elaborate, now--

[Woah. He laughs] Fuck, that wath even better than I ekthpected!

[jailbirds]

Wha— A-are you messing with me?! Do you want to die?!

[thekidsare0kay]

[He holds up his hands, still laughing] Okay, okay, calm down, Mina. Yeah, I'm methhing with you. If you don't want to be cute, I won't call you the motht adorable thing I've theen. Better?

[jailbirds]

[she makes a strangled noise and gives an aborted grab for his shirt - she ends up grabbing her hair instead.]

You little smartass! Why the fuck did I even like you?! I'm gonna rip off your stupid little horns and shove 'em up your waste chute or whatever the hell trolls have!

[thekidsare0kay]

[Woah, he yelps and she's got his hair, so he grabs her with his powers and tries to pull her off, but OUCH!]

Let go! Fuck! I'm thorry, jeeth, you're not cute, you're a fucking pthychopath!
