Log;

Konata had planned a party to cheer up her friends after a rough month. But, as it happened, by the time the day came around, she needed some cheering up of her own. The apartment had already seemed empty, with Taiga and Minori, the big Shaoran, Arche and others gone, and with Li Shaoran leaving on top of that, she was feeling lonely in a way that MMORPGs alone couldn't remedy. So, a party. She thought she might feel better if she could fill up her social bar. With actual human contact, this time.

[Shader carried the plate of brownies up to the door of Konata's apartment and knocked.]

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

Konata opens the door immediately. She must have been waiting nearby.]

Hey Shader. Are those the famous caffeine brownies?

[brainsnotfists.livejournal.com]

Yep, where can I put them? [She looks around the apartment as she enters.]

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

Just on the kitchen counter is fine. Are they cut already?

[brainsnotfists.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if we should eat them early, because it's a workday tomorrow, or wait until late to get the full caffeine experience.

open to all~

[And this would be Uta, a bit more happy than usual, since she had a little date with... well, you know~]

Konata~~

[She knocked and called to her in a sing-song manner, pink cake box at hand.]

open to all~

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

U-ta~~ [Konata replied in a sing-songy voice, and opened the door.]

Hey, you don't look depressed at all. Where's the girl I was talking to the other day? Not that I miss her.

Ooh, cake. ♥

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

She gone, I threw her out~ She was beginning to become a pain, so I had to do what I had to do, right?

[She winked at her. Of course, that wasn't the only reason.]

Yes, cake~ Strawberry shortcake, like you asked. What games are we playing tonight?

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

Well, good riddance.

Um, would you believe "whatever you want"? We have music games, fighting games, tabletop games... Have you ever tried a tabletop RPG?

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

...I'm not even sure what tabletop RPG is.

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

Hmm, well... It's like a computer RPG, except that you play with a few other people, and it's a person, not the computer that decides what happens. So you can do anything, instead of just what the computer is programmed for. Get it?

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

[Have Uta, stare blankly, at you.]

...s-sounds complicated.

[She lifts the cake box instead.]

How about this? Cake first, games later. I haven't had dessert yet~

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me. [Konata takes the cake box from Uta and sets it on the counter next to Shader's brownies, and looks for plates.]

So, really, what happened between the other day and today?

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

[...whoops, there's that troublesome blushing taking place.]

N-nothing... in particular?

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

That's an awfully red-cheeked "nothing in particular"...

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

...er.

[On the verge of flailing~ in a good way.]

I just... had dinner with him... that's all.

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

[Geez, Uta, your scandalous stories are really boring.]

Well, I'm happy you're happy.

Rin had received Konata's invitation and decided to come, even if Rip's reveal still had her mind reeling - or maybe because of that. Her mind had been getting stuck in a circle during about the last hour, so a distraction might not be so bad.

She'd quickly made some mochi to bring, too. Carrying them in a paper bag with her, she too walked up to Konata's front door and knocked. Then she took a step back and hastily straightened out an imaginary wrinkle in her kimono - and looked up.

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

Konata hurried to the door with a soda in one hand.

"Rin, you came! It's good to see you. Come on in." Her eyes immediately find her way to the paper bag. "What'd you bring?"

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Rin surprised herself a little by how happy this enthusiastic reception made her. Definitely a welcome change.

"Oh, just some mochi I made. I didn't really have time for something more elaborate, unfortunately, but I hope these'll do", she answered, a bit of the formality she'd been trained into during her childhood years (with varying success) finding its way back to the surface.

SO SORRY I LOST THE EMAIL

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

"Home-made mochi? Wow, I can't remember the last time I had that. Here, come on in. And relax."

THAT'S OKAY <3

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

"Sure thing!"

Rin doesn't let herself be told that twice and enters the apartment, taking off her shoes at the front.

[mypace-musume.livejournal.com]

"Hmm... Hey, Rin, how's your singing voice? We need someone to do vocals for Rock Band."

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Taken by surprise, Rin blinks at her. Fidgeting with her hands a little, she replies: "Uhm, I don't know... it's alright, I suppose?"
