[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.]

[As formal as ever, Louis mills amongst the crowd with complete ease. His suit is immaculate, as is the rest of him. A pixie rests on his shoulder, but ordinary people will be unable to hear or understand her.

...that doesn't stop her occasionally flying over to people to make faces in front of them, play with their hair and clothing or sit on their heads. Even if she can't be seen, she can probably be felt.

He himself doesn't even seem to be trying to hide his amusement.]

[unknownrival]

[Issei picks up on the pixie's activity, but for now he'll just talk to his other guest.]

Louis, how was your meal? Did you have any cake?

Whoops that should have read "see or understand". Derp.

[starofchaos]

It was quite delicious, thank you.

[He bows slightly at the waist, a slight smile on his face.]

Are you enjoying your party?

[unknownrival]

I am. It's always good to see my friends contented.

[starofchaos]

Ah, your everlasting kindness towards others. But still, it is your birthday.

[What is this in his hand? Whatever it is, it's wrapped up in Jack Frost wrapping paper!]

[unknownrival]

-that is the cutest wrapping paper.

[starofchaos]

I considered Pixie, since you liked her so much, but Jack Frost won out.

[...if he wanted to, he could totally sell this stuff, but really. Why bother?]

[unknownrival]

That's alright. I think it would be a bit strange to have wrapping paper of someone I know.

[starofchaos]

Perhaps. Although I have seen Jack Frost vending machines in Tokyo. It has long ceased to surprise me, if indeed it ever did.

[unknownrival]

Well, with someone this cute, I'm not terribly surprised...

[starofchaos]

I thought you might like it.

[unknownrival]

Thank you very much. You'll spoil me.

[starofchaos]

Today is the day where humans prefer to be spoiled, is it not?

[croibhristeoir]

[ordinary people you say]

. . .

[Blink blink. There seems to be a faerie making stupid faces at him. He'll just stare blankly for a moment or two before looking over to Louis.]

Excuse me. Is she- [pointing to the pixie] -a friend of yours?

1/2

[starofchaos]

Heyyy! You can see me! Hehe!

[Whether he can understand her or not is a different matter. AKA up to the mun.]

[starofchaos]

She is one of my servants. Ryudo-san invited her when he met her at my home.

[croibhristeoir]

[given the fact that we're dealing with a demigod here, why the hell not.]

Yes, I can. Please stop making faces at me like that.

[Sigh.]

Is that so? I would not have guessed.

[starofchaos]

[Pixie does a little twirl in the air before sitting on Diarmuid's head.]

Just for you!

[He hides a chuckle.]

Of course, I don't mean servants in the literal sense. There are far better terms.

[croibhristeoir]

[SIGH]

Believe me, I think I might have an idea of what you mean. [don't start talking shit about servants bro...]

[starofchaos]

I rather doubt it... She's a demon.

[croibhristeoir]

...And?

[Hi, I'd like to introduce you to Gilles de Rais, this is nothing new.]

[starofchaos]

Oh my. I was unaware that Ryudo-san had other friends who dealt with demons. One such as you, no less?

[Hi, misunderstanding massively and imagining Diarmuid as a devil summoner. Cool hat not included.]

[croibhristeoir]

Well...something like that, I suppose.

[And then we had Devil Summoner 3: Diarmuid Kuzunoha and the Awkward Encounter.]

[starofchaos]

Are you a devil summoner, per chance, Mr. Diarmuid?

[In which Cu Culhainn and Tam Lin become Diarmuid's best friends and most loyal demons and help him to save the world from the devil summoner Gille de Rais and his army of demon children.]

[croibhristeoir]

[Fund it.]

I don't...think so? What's a devil summoner?
