Birthday Mingle!

[save_the_souls]

Who: Ino & Any Friends of Ino
Broadcast: None
Action: Iskaulit!
When: 9/23

[So it's Ino's birthday! Anyone who is on good terms with Ino would have received an invitation to attend a birthday party for her on the Iskaulit. I assure you, it was mostly Hiro's doing. Or anyone else involved with the party planning. ]

[Sure enough going to the appointed time and place will indeed lead you to a birthday party! There's a giant banner saying so and everything. Not only that but there's delicious food thanks to Belthazar, music, and other assorted party things.]

[In other words? ITS A MINGLE. Feel free to stop by, socialize, not socialize and hang awkwardly in a corner, gate crash, mooch food or anything else you can think of! ]

[OH.]

Allen? I am fine, just... sleepy. I conjured half of the ingredients to make sure they were of good quality... and Ino's present required some arcane theory as well.

[save_the_souls]

[Bel...]

I see. [He gestures at the empty chair next to him] Come sit down, please.

[arcanepower]

[Why does he get the feeling that's not a request?

He sits down anyway, though he's obviously a little nervous; he's fidgeting with his long sleeves and avoiding eye contact.]

[save_the_souls]

[Allen meanwhile.......pushes his plate in front of Bel, which still has a large amount of food on it]

Here. You should probably eat something.

[arcanepower]

[If most of it is vegetarian, he's not complaining. He made everything so it'd be delicious.]

Oh.

[... When's the last time he ate? Maybe he'll just shove one of those buns in his mouth.

Or two.

... Make that three.]

[save_the_souls]

[...Wow. Is this what it's like when people watch him eat? How is he fitting all those buns in his mouth...? No wonder people stare at him, this is weirdly fascinating.]

Ah- don't choke!

[arcanepower]

[He's totally doing chipmunk cheeks. He assures Allen that he is a pro with a casual, dismissive gesture. Just give him a minute and eVERY SINGLE BUN IN HIS MOUTH will be gone.

That's all it takes.]

[save_the_souls]

....Whoa....

[Dat's talent kid]

...Feel better?

[arcanepower]

[Belth considers, looking at the plate.]

Slightly.

[And then he shoves another bun into his mouth for good measure.]

[save_the_souls]

Ha...

Well, eat up! You made sure there was plenty!

[arcanepower]

[He chews, and swallows, and considers his words before he says anything else. So it takes a while.]

... How long have you known Ino?

[save_the_souls]

[And he'll wait as he does that. What else is he gonna do>? Socialize?!]

How long have I known Ino?

Hmm...it's almost eight years now!

[arcanepower]

[BAH, SOCIALIZING.]

Eight years is a long time for humans. That's about a tenth of your natural lifespan, isn't it? You must be very close friends to put up with each other for that long.

[save_the_souls]

Er.....yeah, that's a morbid way to put it, I suppose. It's a very long time.

[If you want to be kinda creepy about it anyway.]
