open // she's a killer queen

[hellburner]

Who: Rider and anyone who wants a party.
What: ...A party. :|
Where: Shakespeare's fine mansion of swag.
When: Evening of 6/2
Log:

Well, this was a production to say the least. The drinks were more than taken care of (Rider kept her supplies well stocked at all times), the food was all set, and all there was left to do was set up this infernal game contraption. Rider still wasn't entirely sure what a Mario Kart was, but it looked fun.

Once the game was actually set up (eventually), it was going to be a hell of a night. Hopefully with no fistfights breaking out or blood feuds declared over who used what blue shell and when. It happens, man. I've seen things.

[Mingle, have fun, it's a party.]

Asuka, on the other hand, has never been here before. Coming from approximately the same place with the same schedule as Kaoru (at the end of the school year, anyway), she stops in surprise a little at the aforementioned mansion of swag.

"When'd someone get enough money for this place here..."

[breatheinthefog]

Kaoru turned her head toward Asuka. "He's a captive," she shrugged with her perpetual lack of expression. "Not the only one with a house like this, either. It seems to matter to these people, but it's strange for one person to live in a house this size."

Pointless, the implication was, although at least she hadn't said it out loud this time.

"And I thought the King of Jerks was the only one who made money fast here," Asuka says, starting to wander around and look at the decor. "Maybe someone asked for cash from home."

Or maybe other people understand the concept of being paid for work.

[breatheinthefog]

"Maybe." Shrug. "You mean the one with the gold obsession, right?" She may have started using some people's names, but Gilgamesh was still not among that number.

[soulsborderline]

"Yeah, that guy." What are names when you have snarky nicknames and dismissive comments anyway?

"Welp, Mario Kart is lame and I can't drink. I'm going to go poke around in bedrooms," Asuka says, starting to wander off as nonchalantly as she can manage.

[breatheinthefog]

"Why?" Kaoru tilted her head and followed. "Are you going to intercept people who have been drinking so you can tell them where they woke up when they ask where they are tomorrow?"

She'd been learning about this drinking thing through observation. It still seemed really stupid.

[soulsborderline]

"No, although I'll probably take pictures if anyone's passed out later," Asuka says, glad she thought of the idea.

"I'm just really bored."

[breatheinthefog]

"Oh." Pause. "So exploring the mansion is more interesting to you."

[soulsborderline]

"More or less, yeah. Want to watch my back, or does go-kart racing sound less pointless?"

[breatheinthefog]

Kaoru thought. "Equally pointless. I'll follow if you need someone watching you."

[soulsborderline]

"Let's go then!"

And while the adults are busy actually socializing, it's time to go exploring. Asuka heads off down a random hallway.

Walk walk walk. "One person thinks he needs this much space?"
