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! ]

Comments

[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.

[wilder]

Those too, huh?

[Jeez, this illness really was bad. It almost seemed like something far more than a typical flu. It was worrying, so very worrying]

[Even if that gets a scoff]

Please, what do I care? They aren't my friends.

[hiddendepth]

[There's just a quiet hum to let him know yes, her ears too, and she shifts more so her whole head is out of the covers. Before she was sweaty and uncomfortable, and now the chill of open air is somehow even worse-- there's no happy medium here.

But that last part? It gets a very surprised glance.]

They're not?

[wilder]

[poor little Seles. He'll meanwhile move to sit in that chair he set up next to her]

Nah. Remember I got roommates? Well some of them are Sophie and Cheria's family and friends- and the others are Allen's comrades and friends.

Seems a bunch of them showed up this month.

[hiddendepth]

...Why didn't you invite any of your friends, then? Isn't this a party of some sort?

[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?

[hiddendepth]

...You truly don't mind? Well...

[A small cough as she pretends to consider it.

But really she's got this down pat. Thanks Asbel, she was wondering how to survive without a butler!!] 60 degrees celsius with two spoons of sugar.

[pactfulfilled]

[What, seriously?!! Wow. That's a lot more specific than he was expecting.]

I've been helping clean up, so it's no problem. [That was...sixty degrees. Two spoons. Got it.]

Hang tight, okay? I'll be right back.

[And he'll recite that silently to himself all the way to the kitchen so he doesn't forget. Sixty degrees, two spoons, sixty degrees...]

[hiddendepth]

[She looks pleased enough by that, giving one formal nod at his leaving. GOOD +10 points in her book.]

Thank you!

[pactfulfilled]

[And give him a little while since he has to actually find tea (and subsequently have a friendly chat with the girl in the kitchen), and Asbel comes striding back down the hallway. The mug clatters a little on its tray, but he doesn't appear to have spilled any, and there's a hopeful trail of steam rising from it.]

Sorry about the wait, but I've got your tea.

[He nudges the door open a little wider so he can step inside, and proceeds to look for a good place to set everything.] It's pretty hot, so you'll have to be careful with it.
