No one is alone

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Who: Kariya Matou, Lancer, Rin Tohsaka, residents of 1666 Nelson Street, and all of Rin's friends.
What: A party to prove to Rin that she has friends.
Where: 1666 Nelson Street.
When: Saturday afternoon.
Warnings: Possible tsunsplosion. Action tags to keep things going.

With the help of Lancer, Kariya had managed to get in touch with all of Rin's friends, acquaintances, and anyone else who views her in the slightest favorable light.  The party had been thrown together somewhat at the last minute, but since it's really just a gathering of friends, there actually wasn't that much specific planning to do.  There's plenty of food and drink - both alcoholic and non - set up in the kitchen and dining room area, and a separate table for anyone bringing presents to set them down.  Apart from that, he's just sitting there with the assembled group of Rin's friends, waiting for her to arrive.

Pre-Party Mingling

[waiting_for_the_worms]

[Rin isn't here yet, but feel free to talk and mingle among yourselves!]

Re: Pre-Party Mingling

[answerer_sword]

[Bazett has come, more or less as security. She is standing in the house, looking around, wondering about the guests and whether or not they would be overly rowdy.]

[waiting_for_the_worms]

The guests are all Rin's friends, so I don't think you really need to be so on-edge.

[riastrad_ridire]

[He's already drinking. When preparing for dealing with Rin, it was kind of hard not to.]

[adropofjupiter]

[There's a blonde witch sitting on top of the stairs bouncing harmless star-shaped bullets down the stairs while she waits. They dissipate upon reaching the bottom step and Marisa looks a lot like she'd rather not be there.]

SURPRISE

[waiting_for_the_worms]

[Feel free to play any arrival type shenanigans here!]

[Garviel almost rips the front door off, roaring,]. :Happy birthing day!

[riastrad_ridire]

[Yep.]

[Still drinking.]

Present Table

[waiting_for_the_worms]

[Leave regards in the form of gifts here. Rin's favorite is expensive jewelry.]

[doudemoe]

[Be glad he works as a banker again. That's the only reason he's able to afford this ruby brooch.]

[a_clockwork_melody]

[A bunch of haphazard-looking but freshly-made chocolate-chip cookies laid on a plate. It wasn't much, but making food for someone counted as a present, right?]

[splitthebaby]

[Have some cat food from Merem.

And some candy coated chocolate that looks like jewels. They melt in your mouth AND your hands.

Yeah, he did that on purpose.]

Re: Present Table

[answerer_sword]

[There is one present left on table that looks exteremely out of place. It is rectangular, flat, and shoddily wrapped in tissue paper. Bazett would have given it to Rin anyway, if she could find the girl in Mayfield before getting her invitation.]

[As it lies there on the table, those who have magical abilities may sense some strange energy coming from it, but be warned--if anyone but Rin touches the card, it has a chance, however small, of activating and becoming construct based off of Saber's form. Though weaker than the real Saber, it might still be troublesome.]

[And that is why Bazett returns to the table every few minutes to check and see that her "present" would remain untouched.]

[doesnotgetit]

[Thanks to both her "parents" being drones, Hakuno had a pretty decent amount of allowance saved up. There wasn't really anything in this town that interested her enough to spend her money on it, so it just kind of. Collected. When Kariya had come to her with plans of a party, she had just taken all of it and gone straight out to the jewelry shop she had found some months ago, and picked out a nice ruby necklace.

It's nothing super big or fancy, because it is just allowance money and some extra she'd been able to get out of the drones of Saber and Gawain. But it's still something!]

[adropofjupiter]

[Nope. No present from Marisa, Rin.

Though the witch is still there, sitting on an open windowsill, there is NOTHING on the table from her.]

Food Table

[waiting_for_the_worms]

[There's party type food and a cooler full of beer and sodas.]

Re: Food Table

[answerer_sword]

[Beer. She needs this beer if she is to survive this party without destroying the house herself. Therefore, she starts chugging down cups of it. However, she tries her best to limit herself. She does not want a repeat of prom.]

Food Table

[doudemoe]

[His favorite section. Nom. Not touching the beer he learned his lesson.]

General Mingle

[waiting_for_the_worms]

[The party is underway, so everyone give your regards to Rin and talk amongst yourselves.]

[splitthebaby]

[Merem isn't really a partier.

Like probably everyone else here who is trying their best. Better to just be a fly on the wall and watch. Of course, he's not literally a fly but he doesn't mind sitting up someplace high, like the top of a chair (totally sitting on it incorrectly) and watching the going ons.

Yeah, he's available for bothering.]

Re: General Mingle

[answerer_sword]

[Bazett does not so much mingle as she walks through the house, looking around to see what everyone is doing. None of the party guests have broken out into a fight yet, so that was good.]

[doesnotgetit]

[With how stupidly open Hakuno is with other people, it's easy to forget that she's a tad on the socially awkward side. Not really badly so, but before Mayfield, she was trapped in an area where she had three friends, tops, and over a hundred others were prepared to kill her. That doesn't help you with your skills with making friends, you know!

So for now she just... stands off to the side, waiting for any familiar faces to approach her.]

[adropofjupiter]

[Despite normally being a very lively and outgoing girl, Marisa is still uncharacteristically keeping to herself. She's opened a window and is sitting sideways on the windowsill, watching the ongoings.]

After the party - locked to Rin and Kariya

[waiting_for_the_worms]

[So, hey Rin... everyone's gone, and it looks like there's one present in the corner there that your uncle never handed to you.]

The latest even to her own party...

[gandere]

Huh? Did he forget one? [ It's not like her to talk to herself, but it does take her by surprise enough that she's going to pick it up. ] What a cruddy job in wrapping it. Must be Uncle's work.
