Ongoing, Open (ish)

When; Sunday, December the 12th, evening.
Rating; PG
Characters; MKR cast, family and guests.
Summary; The Victrola has become a luxurious ballroom for celebrating Fuu's 15th birthday party.
Log; All their efforts had lead them to this. Against all odds, despite the horrible moments curses and dangers unfailingly put them through, Umi knew it was important to remember dates as important as this one. The occasion was nothing she was allowing The City to ruin: Fuu's 15th birthday was something to remember, all the more because it would be the first birthday her best friend and sister would spend away from home.

Thankfully not from her family, the Water Knight thought as she took a look around her and pondered the arrangements. The Victrola had been transformed into a gorgeous, gold-tinted ballroom for celebrating the Wind Knight's birthday. Umi herself had been specific about the details.

So she went through a quick revision of the surroundings. Took in the beautifully set tables with their polished silverware and floral centerpieces straight from the Koneko: each arranged so that every guest knew where they would sit. Some of the guests danced in pairs. Others stood around holding glasses of champagne as a soft music played in the background. The numerous presents had been arranged on a table near the buffet. And the highlight of such was of course the giant birthday cake Umi herself had baked -- her ultimate masterpiece, made to match the decorations too.

Smiling, she moved through the crowd to greet the newcomers.


[ ooc : Alright guys, Fuu's swanky party is GO. You know what to do! Start new threads wherever you like: at the tables, dancing threads, just chillin' around threads, arrival threads, what have you. Time them whenever you like: start, end of mid-party. Threadjack at will, too. Just remember: your character should be in evening clothes. 8Db

He glanced up from the other side of the room, his smiled a little guilty as if he'd been caught working when he wasn't supposed to be. As soon as he saw who was speaking to him, his smile went more polite than chagrined.

"Evening. Eagle, yes? It's good to finally meet you in person."

“That’s right. It is unique that we have so many acquaintances in common, but this is the first time we have met face to face.”

A polite response. Ken was looking far more genteel than he was the last time Eagle saw him…

“Do all of Umi’s surrogate brothers like to hide off to the side in parties?” A joke since Eagle had already run into Aya… doing much the same thing really.

Polite was something Ken could manage now. A few years ago, not so much. At Eagle's question, he actually laughed a little; the sound genuine.

"Well, neither one of us are exactly the most social of people, but we really can't say no to Umi. She'd hurt us. Besides, I'm pretty much always on duty, I'm afraid. That means a lot of keeping an eye on things."

“On duty? As one of this City’s police force?”

Well, aware of Umi and her persistence… hi, guess why Eagle is here. Well… one reason why Eagle is here.

“I wouldn’t think some one like you would be so easily intimidated by Umi.”

His question earned a quick nod, but there's not tension in it, thankfully. For now, Ken's as relaxed in public as he can be.

"Umi likes to yell. Really loud."

No tension, hm? Interesting…

“I have noticed that!”

Anyone who had ever been the target of a burst of Umi anger would be familiar with that trait of hers.

“She must be some what difficult to live with on a constant bases.”
