Summary: Holding a dinner so we can all get to know each other, this should end terribly.
Warnings: F for food?!

[This month's haul of transports seemed to bring in a lot of familiar faces for the residents of 103. Friends, family, comrades, terrifying generals who are your boss now- all sorts! ]

[It was Sophie's idea to hold a dinner. A dinner of family, for everyone to have a chance to meet each other and get to know each other better. It seemed like a nice way to welcome everyone into this horrible war. But hey, food! And so, Allen and Sophie made sure to invite their friends, family and comrades in order to have a warm evening together]

[And Kaneis, well, at least he isn't climbing out the back window at the prospect of social interaction for hours. This my friends, is progress. ]

[But gather around friends and family and terrifying boss! There's food, people, wine and games to be had! Just you know, try not to cough in it you sick jerks]

[OOC: KITCHEN | DINING TABLE...FLOOR...COUNTER | LIVING ROOM | BEDROOMS. Please feel free to tag around, thread hop and just have fun! If I left anyone out of the attending list please let me know! ]

BEDROOMS

[wilder]

[Need some privacy? You could probably slip into one of the bedrooms. Though seriously, talk about rude. Get out of there. And you better have pants on when you leave!]

[wolfchild]

[ Food + drink + 11-year-old = sleep. Which is exactly what one tuckered out little girl is doing on Allen's bed. Only the top half of her head is visible. She's curled up into a ball under the covers, hogging all his pillows. No one is sorry, Allen. ]

[debtor]

[At some point, Allen finally breaks away from the group and slips into his room. It's not that he minds the company, exactly, but he could use a... reprieve.

And surely nobody would have actually gone into his private bedroom.

With a sigh, he flips on the light, quietly shuts the door behind him and wanders towards his bed—

AND THEN YELPS. OH GOD THERE'S SOMETHING UNDER HIS COVERS.]

[wolfchild]

[ it's not moving. maybe it wants to eat him. maybe it's just biding its time. poke it with a stick, allen. see what happens. ]

[debtor]

[For a moment he stands frozen by indecision, a few feet from the edge of the bed. IT COULD WANT TO EAT HIM. It could also be someone passed out drunk in his bed.

...It's a lump with... hair. A rather small lump. The list of plausible offenders here is fairly short, really.

It's still his bed, though!

He's going to poke it with a finger.]

Oi.

[wolfchild]

[ She makes a sleepy sound of complaint and pulls the covers up entirely over her head. Go away, Allen, tired. ]

[debtor]

[...SIGH.

He's not mean enough to kick her out, though. After another pause, listening to the sound of people milling about in the common room, he decides to take a seat on his floor instead. He leans back against the bed frame and waves Tim over.

Maybe she's only taking a short nap.]

[wolfchild]

[ You wish. The covers shift so she can glare at him from under them. The sensation of someone else being present was enough to rouse her. ]

Go 'way. [ she tells Allen. To Tim, she says: ] You can stay.

[hiddendepth]

[Seles is honestly not sure what all of this commotion is, but she's only ashamed to be so ill so... doesn't really want to go out of the room.

But if you hear the coughing and hacking and nearly dying sounding noises coming from Zelos' room, that would be his darling sister, who's hiding under covers despite her fever. Anyone who comes in can attempt to communicate, though.]

[wilder]

[Which of course, Zelos will come in to check on her at some point in the evening. Because eff you guys, sister is why. So poking his head into the door- that cough sounds horrendous]

Seles?

[hiddendepth]

[A mass moves under the blankets. It takes a moment for her to gain her voice back, but she manages a muffled response.]

Yes?

[wilder]

[Jeez this looks bad. He'll come into the room, closing the door behind him so the noise outside is muffled for her. Then coming closer to the bedside]

Would asking how you're feeling be a stupid question?

[hiddendepth]

I think it's more than apparent how I'm feeling right now.

[Still muffled, and she doesn't mean to come off so harsh, but she really is feeling miserable. ...Still, she recognizes it, and so she adds more on a short few seconds later.]

Is everyone still here?

[wilder]

Heh, okay. Stupid question then.

[Definitely his sister and her tsundere. He'll let it slide though because honestly? Who wouldn't be snippy like this]

Yeah...but if they're being too loud for you I can see if I can find my earplugs for you.

[You tend to have a lot of those with his hearing]

[hiddendepth]

No, that's-- [She frowns to herself, shifting slightly under the covers to try and peek out and over to her brother.] ...My ears don't feel well, either.

[She doesn't imagine having anything in them would be favorable. Besides, she likes to eavesdrop when possible... She certainly can't fall asleep after all this resting.]

I don't mean to bother you while you're having people over.

[blossomgale]

[ With her heightened senses, Sophie can hear the coughing and hacking loud and clear. It's pretty worrisome. She's going to step away from the crowd to figure out what it is! She pushes open the door to Zelos' room, still holding a plate full of delicious crablettes. ]

...hello?

[hiddendepth]

[The mass of blankets stiffens noticeably at those words. Someone's in here? Ah...]

Y-yes? [Sniffling, she shifts to try and poke her eyes out-- but just her eyes! She's in no shape to be seen, surely.]

[blossomgale]

[ Oh, there really is someone in here! Sophie approaches the bed, looking over it and only spotting the pair of eyes peeking out. ]

...Are you hiding?

[hiddendepth]

O-of course not! That would be foolish!

[So she says without moving to reveal herself more at all. Instead her hands just grip tighter at the sheet.]

...I'm sick, so I didn't want to disturb this get together.

LATEST EVER... feel free to drop if you need to.

[blossomgale]

You're sick? [ A worried frown crosses her face. Plus it must be pretty lonely being sick and staying in this room... ] Would you like some help? I could try using my healing artes.

[pactfulfilled]

[Asbel's helping to clear away and clean up dishes when he starts to notice an irregular sound coming from down the hallway. He dismisses it at first, but pretty soon it becomes apparent that the something he's hearing? Is actually someone. And they must be pretty sick, too.]

[He remembers all too well what it was like when Sophie was sick and suffering, so he can't help - when he thinks no one is looking - making his way to the source of the noise and peering into the room.]

Hey, is someone in here?

[hiddendepth]

[Another voice, and Seles is beginning to wonder how disruptive her coughing really is. Oh no...

But pausing and worriedness about the silliest things aside, she does answer.]

Y-yes. I'm simply resting when I can. I hope I'm not being too disruptive.

[pactfulfilled]

No, nothing like that. It's just...you sounded really sick... [Asbel trails off awkwardly. All this time he had no idea someone was trying to rest. Maybe they're the ones who should have quieted down a bit.]

So, um, can I get you anything? There's still plenty of food and drink left over. Or maybe some tea? It's usually good on a sore throat.

[hiddendepth]

...I've caught a terrible cold. You should be careful; I believe it's going around.

[She wouldn't want to give it to him.

But at the suggestion to get her a drink... She pauses and peeks out a little from her mass of blankets, red hair more than apparent without her hat on.]

Ah... I wouldn't mind some tea, though.

[pactfulfilled]

Yeah, I think I heard something about that.

[Asbel looks on in concern. He's still over by the door, not even bothering to worry about whether he might catch it himself. Should he call Cheria in to look at her? Surely she already knows about her own houseguest, though...]

[Asbel offers a smile when he sees her face peeking out. Huh. Red hair. Could this be Kaneis' sister?]

Sure, I'll bring you a cup. How do you like it?
