[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.]

[ so this is the age where others are allowed to drink? he brought Issei special sake. golden sake. holy, even. just because. but where to put it? ]

[unknownrival]

[Oooh, drinks.]

You can just set that on the table with the other gifts. How are you?

[createswithink]

[ sets them down, yep. he looks back with a big smile. ] Great, as always. And you, Hoshi-sama?

[unknownrival]

I'm doing well. Not much is happening in the temple, which is the way I prefer it, really.

[createswithink]

[ he steps back, looking Issei over. ] ...You don't look any older. Do you feel any older?

[unknownrival]

Not really. Funny, but that's how it goes.

[createswithink]

Maybe you'll look under eighteen forever!

[unknownrival]

There would be some benefits to that, but I wouldn't mind aging either.

[createswithink]

Just don't become a grumpy old monk and you'll be fine.

[unknownrival]

I'll stave off grumpiness for as long as I can.

[createswithink]

...Or being a miser or wanting to destroy the world or whatever the old men on this community do. That's the way to go.

[unknownrival]

I can say with confidence that even when I get old and wrinkly, I will not want to destroy the world.

[createswithink]

I can't imagine what the world would have to come to so you'd want to, anyways.

*Issei told her to socialize. Retasu looks for the nearest person and bows.*

U-um. I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

[createswithink]

[ he's about to drink some of the sake he just brought, but he turns just as she bows. ] I wouldn't consider you an interruption at all!

[aquaticrush]

Ah-- okay, if you say so. Um, it's a nice party, right?

[createswithink]

Yeah, it is! Everyone seems happy enough!

[aquaticrush]

Issei-san has a lot of friends.

[createswithink]

He'd probably win a popularity contest on this community.

[aquaticrush]

He would get embarrassed then.

[createswithink]

That's his humbleness for ya!

[aquaticrush]

*Nervous giggle.* Everybody here is happy, though.

[createswithink]

You couldn't be more right, 'Nee-san.

[aquaticrush]

*Blink blink.* N-neesan...?

[createswithink]

You know...'sister'.
