Who: Everyone! New Feathers especially.
What: New Feather welcome party!
When: Thursday, 5 pm.
Where: Battle Dome
Summary: IT'S A SUMMER PARTY
Rating: Worksafe, I reckon!
It's cold out there today, isn't it? Sure, it's not snowing but once you get into the Battle Dome, it'll be comfortably warmer. Warmer, not warm. Follow the tiny paper arrows and you'll probably find yourself in, well...summer!

It certainly looks convincing enough (a pool, a volleyball court, deck chairs, everything that you'd think you'd find at a pool party) and feels convincing enough (take off that coat! Aren't you hot?) so why not not step in? The barbecue's sizzling and there's some nice cold drinks at the cooler.

C'mon in, the water's awesome!

[ Ryoji laughs in a non villain manner. He really can't muster a convincing villain laugh, though, so it's probably for the best. ]

Oh, you have a brother? Is he here, too?

[de_bel_survivor]

[His smile drops a bit, but only briefly before it's up again.]

Ah...no, he's not. But he used to be here last year!

[death_awaits_you]

[ Ryoji sees that smile drop and wonders if maybe he shouldn't have asked, but then Kouki is smiling again, so... maybe it's okay? ]

Oh... Well, maybe he'll come back again?

[de_bel_survivor]

[While he does love Naoya, there's also Things they haven't talked about. Yet.]

Yeah, maybe he will. One day. For all we know, the Malnosso might've miss having him around!

[death_awaits_you]

[ Ryoji laughs a little at that. ] Yeah! Maybe the might've! Or maybe you'll go home and see him then?

What's his name? Next time new people show up, if I hear it, I'll let you know!

[de_bel_survivor]

Possibly!

[If Kouki went home, it'd be back to the demon world until Naoya visit.]

His name is Naoya. If you see him around, let him know I'm looking for him.

[death_awaits_you]

Naoya... Okay! I definitely will.

[ Ryoji's smile is now curious! ] It must be pretty neat to have a brother! Is he older or younger?

[de_bel_survivor]

He's older! [Like, way older.] By seven years, actually. So he's an working adult.

[death_awaits_you]

Oh wow! Does that mean you don't get to see him very much?

[de_bel_survivor]

Yeah. Since he moved out, I normally visit him on weekends if I can.

[death_awaits_you]

I'm glad you still get to see him back in your home, though, then!

[de_bel_survivor]

Yeah, I'm really glad. [Just smiles.] So yeah, I have a great brother, I see him whenever I can back home and maybe, he come over to visit!

[death_awaits_you]

He sounds great. I think it would be really nice to have a brother. Having a sibling seems pretty special!

[de_bel_survivor]

Having a brother's pretty great! Even if I sometime annoyed him... [Chuckles.] But we still love each other.

[Yeah, he suspect Naoya still does. Somewhere deeply buried in all that grudge and bitterness.]

[death_awaits_you]

[ Ryoji smiles brightly at that. ] I'm glad for that.
