Tea Party || log; ongoing

When; Sunday the 17th, afternoon
Rating; PG-13 for possible language, violence(!?) & moody magical girls
Characters; MKR crew plus guests
Summary; When Road's and Umi's long-awaited tea party finally occurs, the former doesn't truly expect that long guest list to be much of a problem. Why should she?
Log;

The house smelled of roses and homemade bakery. In, fact, the apartment had never felt as much like home as it did on that very moment. Umi looked around and felt completely satisfied with the arrangements. At least she'd managed to get the place to feel cozy in time to play host.

Right, so there'd been a couple of obstacles to overcome, like that annoying sleep curse. Umi made a face as she set down a plate of freshly baked scones on one of the decorated tables. The damn thing had had her off snoring all Thursday long. She'd needed to run to catch up once she'd recovered the spirit to crawl out of bed. It'd been a small miracle that the invitations had been written and delivered (a miracle made possible by Ken's and Rin's assistance) and the last minute shopping done.

Fortunately everything was in place and awaiting their friends' arrival. The tables were beautifully arranged with all sorts of homemade pastries. Several varieties of tea were available for the guests to choose from. C's and Kimihiro's help at the kitchen had been invaluable, and Road had done quite a great job at making the place look more festive. There would even be sake as a stronger choice of a drink for those Umi knew would appreciate it, thanks to Misao's own contribution.

The water Knight sighed with accomplishment. Finally a small celebration to make up for all the messes The City had put them through during the last weeks, including her fateful trip Underground. She smiled as she smoothed the skirts of her dress. Nothing could go wrong from here.


[ooc: I'm off to bed for tonight, guys. @_@ Please feel free to assume Umi wandered off and will be around bringing tea and cake to the guests. Take this wherever you want~ ♥]

"Hi Umi~!" She waved back and moved to join the little group. This reminded her a lot of the parties she went to back in her world, except there she just had to smile and look pretty and have everyone fuss over her and say how sweet she was, and here instead she actually got to talk and take part.

She thought Umi looked very pretty in her dress too - of course this trend of thought led to Road wondering if she'd be able to convince Umi to play dress-up with her one day. She thought it wouldn't be very hard to get Umi to say yes.

She did wonder what possessed Umi to tell her to invite anyone she liked. With all the people Road knew, she somehow thought that a fight between her and the Exorcists was likely to be the least that happened.

"Mmhmm~, I am! So many people showed up!" She smiled back at Umi - she was taking hosting the party far more seriously than Road, it looked like. "A few of them have shown up already, and I'm sure the rest will be here soon~."

"Mmhmm~, as soon as Umi has some free time I'll take her around to say hello to everyone!" Road has already been busy going around talking to everyone, even people she didn't know.
