[closed] party at oz's house!

[anklets]

Date & Time: backdated to August 10th, afternoon
Location: apartment 407
Characters: friends and possibly some... unwanted visitors...
Summary: we celebrate Lavi's birthday by letting all the weirdos in
Warnings: n/a

Invitations have been whispered and confections baked with some measure of care (graciously, it remains that only one kitchen fire will have been set in the housing commons today), and Lenalee has placed her lure in Lavi's hands and trusted him to reel himself in.

It's- a little lacking, were she to place it against the Order's parties with intent to compare, but she is pleased with the work she and Oz have dedicated to the sitting room, sparsely decorated and laboriously cleaned (she'd become a little invested in it).

CRASH

[phaseshifts]

[After the party has started

did u think u could escape d.grays? no... there is no chance to escape make your time

HA HA HA

as Tyki Mikk strolls casually right through the closed door.

He just happened to be walking by in the hall.]

[crocodilesmiles]

( oh cool there's a -- LKSDJLAKSDJLKASJDLSAKDJ

Hope you like cake flying at you Tyki, because you caught Collette off guard and her cake just tried to meet your chest! )

Aah!

[phaseshifts]

[there's a CAKE FLYING RIGHT THROUGH HIM is that what you meant? He doesn't want cake all over him.

Looking down...]

Messy...

[crocodilesmiles]

Poltergeist!

( Just saying, that seems like a great thing to exclaim! )

You let the cake hit the door!

[phaseshifts]

You threw the cake!

I DO WHAT I WANT /THE LOG CRASHER

[crocodilesmiles]

You walked through the door! You didn't even knock first!

( she points -- and laughs. hi creepy noah guy. )

So rude!

huehuehuehuehuehuehuehue

[phaseshifts]

Don't complain. [omg collette he'd be so interested in buttonholing you for a chat if he knew. Luckily, he doesn't! He glances down at her in the chair, gold eyes shining momentarily, and then edges around her and ambles towards the cake table.]

[anklets]

[Like wasps drawn from the hive, catches wind of foul, unwelcome visitors causing a ruckus and slices a jagged path towards him, stinger-first, blocks his progress.]

Out.

[ you have three seconds to not be here ]

[phaseshifts]

[He pops his lips at her to make a little kissing noise. Just because he expects it to make her recoil.]

How about a hello?

[crocodilesmiles]

I think that was her hello. You weren't even invited, were you?

( it's not a question -- she knows tyki wasn't invited. she also realizes caesar's here, and tyki thinks he knows caesar. collette hasn't had the chance to talk to him yet about how things happened with lavi. she crosses her arms over her chest, turning her head to follow his progress. it brings her hands closer to her stopwatch.

just in case. )

[anklets]

He would never be.

[She- bristles, actually, and it is the coldest expression she has worn amongst polite company in months, she wants to usher Collette from the room so that he could never think to touch her, but she daren't so much as look her way.]

Get out of my home.

[phaseshifts]

You could be a little kinder, I saved your friend's life, didn't I? And I asked for so little. [A tilt of his head and the slowest of slow smiles.]

Don't you care about your friend's life?

[commentboxtroll]

[ Flying cakes and exclamations are more than enough to draw Caesar's attention, so it shouldn't be at all a surprise to Collette or Lenalee that he appears about now.

Little does he know how likely it is that neither of them really want him here!

He stops a step behind Lenalee, a plate of cake and a fork still held up before him. He never did make off with a full cake, as it was, and now there's this distracting him. Honestly, you people... ]

Then how about you get out of my home? Because I certainly don't recall you saving any friend of mine.

[ Which leaves him with a great and honest lack of needing to be kinder. ]

[crocodilesmiles]

( Caesar! Collette glances his way, shoulders tensing. She actually moves her chair this time, maneuvering back and around, pulling away from Tyki. She laughs.

She really does have to laugh, but she laughs because she needs to tease: )

Hey! There's no reason to be shy about how you feel for Lavi!

( Caesar. Caesar, she made a boo-boo. )

I'm sure stealing his cake makes you at least slightly better than acquaintances!

( Not that anyone had said Lavi... but she'd certainly been at the hospital as herself soon after Lavi had been brought in. )

[phaseshifts]

[The quest for cake is briefly abandoned because - what does Tyki spy with his little eye? A young lad with red hair, coincidentally the same who stopped time and rushed them posthaste to eyepatch boy's aid... his gold eyes bright with interest, he veers right on over.]

What are you talking about? Did you get a ding round the ear, boy?

[recorden]

[ All the ruckus and the calling out of his name is bound to attract the other redhead in the apartment and so Lavi appears behind Caesar. One glance at the situation is enough to tell him what's going on and just—

Goddamnit. This is why they can't have nice things.

There's a slight narrowing of his eye before the expression smooths into something pleasant. An easygoing smile as if there isn't a Noah standing in the living room and a casual tone to match it as he maneuvers himself forward to cheerfully block Tyki's path. ]

What are ya doing here?

[phaseshifts]

[He glances at Lavi and his eyes scrunch up. Overjoyed!!]

Ah, hello.

[commentboxtroll]

[ Well then, this seems to be progressing somewhere unfortunate a little fast. Caesar spares a second to glance over at Collette, eyebrows raising briefly. How he feels about the birthday boy, huh...?

But he won't look at her for long, opting to turn back to Tyki, even though that means leaning over to see around Lavi now. ]

Not that I'm aware of. Have we met?

[anklets]

[She is touched to a live wire, every inch of her skin roiling with electric hate: wants to push Collette from the room, wants to step in front of Caesar, wants to pinch Lavi's lips shut and pinch Tyki's lips through— and Lenalee very nearly does move to do it, but the wire has fused her to the spot.]

1/2

[debtor]

[It sounds as though the merrymaking has ceased, what's going on out here...

Finally emerging from the kitchen, his nth slice of cake on his well-used plate, Allen's about the inquire what's wrong when

HOLY SHIT WHO INVITED THE NOAH]

Tigy Mgg.

[debtor]

[ wait-

taking the fork out of his mouth and swallowing, ] Mikk.

[What an unwelcome surprise!]

[phaseshifts]

[Waves]

There's a piece of cake left for me, isn't there?`

[crocodilesmiles]

I hope there's a piece of cake left for me...

( Collette mourns morosely, staring with betrayal at the cake on the ground where Tyki had entered in. )

[phaseshifts]

You're the one who tossed it, girly. [Moseying in the direction of Caesar now.]

[commentboxtroll]

Which is a shame...

[ Excuse him while he takes a firmer grip on his own plate of cake. Just in case. All these cakeless fiends around him! ]

What a waste of cake.
