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.

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

[waiting_for_the_worms]

[OH GOD IT'S A SERVANT

wait, no, just Garviel]

...Glad you could make it, Garviel.

[captainofthe10th]

Hello Kariya. [ He rumbles, after removing his helm. ]

I trust I was suitably surprising.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Well, you surprised me, anyway.

[captainofthe10th]

Excellent! Is there wine?

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Just beer, sorry.

[captainofthe10th]

I see. Think nothing of it. How have you been, of late?

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Well enough since that portal, I suppose.

[captainofthe10th]

That was...unfortunate. I lost friends.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

It was hard on everyone.

[gandere]

[ ... ] Birthing day?

[ It takes a while, but when it does click, she shakes her head. ]

Did you forget? My birthday is in February and humans only celebrate it once a year.

[captainofthe10th]

Oh.
I can never keep track. I'm sorry.

[gandere]

How could you forget February? [ Huffing up. ]

I arrived the same day as my birthday, so that might help you remember. I'm sure I'll leave the same day too. I don't want to have aged any when I go back.

[captainofthe10th]

A month after me. I remember. You had a party and... [ He stops, he knows those memories are sad for her. ]

Well, you... [ He stops again. Telling her she looks a year older would probably result in a Gandr. ]

[gandere]

[ Ugh, she doesn't want to think about Sakura right now. ]

Well I what? Out with it already, Garviel.

[ Call her old and she'll kill you. ]

[captainofthe10th]

Are very pretty.

[ Which isn't a lie. ]

[gandere]

[ Instant distraction successful. ]

Well, I know that much already! Although it doesn't hurt to hear it all the time. You should say that more often, alright?

[captainofthe10th]

As you wish. [ Whew, made that +5 social save. ]]

I'm glad to see you and your uncle getting on well.

[gandere]

I thought he would hate me. [ She's blunt and with that, she bites her lip. ]

That was awkward to say, wasn't it? My father wasn't proud of me, so I thought there was no way my uncle could love me either.

[captainofthe10th]

He seems to be a good man.

[ Loken did not have the same opinion of her father. ]

[gandere]

Just because someone's a good man doesn't mean they're incapable of feeling hate. My father dislikes a lot of people--[ Her uncle included. ]--but he's still a wonderful man.

Er... was still a wonderful man. [ Her voice drops. ]
