Re: Drinking and Dining all on my birthday (Open Thread)

[kerflubble]

Rebecca Tomoko was finding that although the diner which she got invited to was supposed to be American in style, it definately wasn't American in size: the big Amazon still having to duck to get through the doors of the place while carrying a fairly large box. "Cec!" She shouted out trying to get past the small crowd. She didn't think there'd be that many people here, half of which she didn't recognize. At least Bonnie, Clyde and Heather were familiar faces as she tried to get to the front. "You should have told me sooner it was gonna be your birthday, would have gotten something a bit better to wear than this." She said, pointing to her simple too-small T-shirt and jeans.

"Still: here you go!" She said passing her present "Adrian designed it herself, so that's why she was attacking you with a tape measure a week or two ago. I helped make it because I couldn't think of anything better." she explained. Were Cecilia to open it she'd find a brand new ring attire, hand made. "I think she might want us to have matching gear." She groaned. Her smaller friend's obsession with outfits got a little silly at times.

Cecilia looked up as she heard a familiar voice call out a familiar nick name of hers as she well, when she saw who it was she had to smile and wave to the tall amazon that came in through the door. " Hey! Becky, you made it ." Cecilia said with a smile towards her friend, and she quickly bounded off towards her and gave her a light hug, before she stepped back and looked Rebecca up and down. " Nah, come on. That's sort of your style and it suits you." Cecilia said with a kind smile and nod to her friend.

When Rebecca handed the big box to Cecilia she took it with a smile and lead it over towards the counter. " Hehe...kinda figured." Cecilia said with a little grin as Rebecca told her about the outfit and the process of making. " Thanks Becks! I really did need some new treads." Cecilia then opened the box and looked at the new ring attire, It was a very nice set of clothing, black leather it seemed and it had a nice feel to it, the outfit looked nice and sort of fitting now that she was the Hardcore champion. " Awesome ! I guess they do...a little, but this is sweater !" Cecilia said a bit teasingly to Rebecca.

Mamouru watched as people began to filter in quickly. Pleasantries seemed moot at this point and so he allowed them to flow in with a simple and polite bow at the shoulders. More of a nod than anything. Greeting Emily in return when she said hello.It was nice to see Cecelia so happy but other than one or two people everyone seemed mysterious to him. That was perfectly fine though. Mamouru had been quite used to being in a sea of girls he did not know all by himself. And it seemed like he might be the only male until Heather's beau Clyde walked in.

He was greeted explicitly and bowed his head to Clyde. "Gastin-san. Thank you for coming." He said. Though he didn't have to say that, if he was being addressed, he would say it on Cecelia's behalf. She seemed to be running all over the place and it was rather cute. He took Clyde's hand and gave it a polite shake before quickly turning to Bonnie and looking her over as he had done with all the other girls. Quick and easy. She was good looking as well and greeted her just as politely.

Mamouru nodded to Bonnie when she proclaimed how tall he was and then shook his head. "I suppose I am." He said and blushed a little. Compared to other people in the place, he wasn't all that tall, especially as Rebecca walked in. That was someone who was tall and he looked up at the woman and gauged her. She'd probably be a fierce animal in bed. That's be a fun romp. Ah, there were so many choices but then he let his eyes wander back to Cecelia as she pulled up her bat. He chuckled to himself as he slid over to the bar and ordered a drink. He might be on the end of that if he wasn't too careful. But the night was certainly young.

Tsumi smiles as Cecilia opened her presents, she then giggles as Cecilia answered her question. Meeting Cecilia was great, she knew that Cecilia would make a great friend! The way she was just talking on to her she knew that Cecilia was a really friendly person. As Cecilia took the bag from her she giggled and said, “Iâ€m sorry Iâ€m just use to getting people gifts.” She looks at Ceciliaâ€s reaction, first was the headpiece which she decided to put on and then it was the Gemstone necklace which she put around her neck. Tsumi smiled as she then flipped her white hair and was so happy Cecilia liked her gifts. Tsumi knew she didnâ€t need to get her anything but it was a nice gesture to do so. She just felt so welcomed here, it was an amazing thing, she was glad that she was just allowed to speak with anyone.

That was when Cecilia hugged Tsumi, she smiled as she hugged Cecilia back and giggles once again. “No problem Cecilia-chan. Iâ€m just glad I have a chance meet some new people.” Tsumi said as waved to Cecilia as she left to meet her other guests. Tsumi decides that well since she doesnâ€t really know anyone it was best to pick a random person and just start talking. She decides to walk over to the bar as she saw Mamouru and smiled as she then stood next to him after she asked for an appletini. She turned to Mamouru glad that she changed her hairstyle, maybe no one would notice who she really was, it was great, she could finally be in public! She then giggles as she says, “Um hello, so, were you just invited like me or do you actually know Cecilia?”

"Heh well..our first meeting was..sort of....Heh it's a long story actually." Heather would say with a little nervous laugh before she would shake her head. "But we're good friends now and that's all that really matters. It's behind us now, in the past." Heather would add, nodding her head at her own words as she watched the little back and forth between Emily and Cecilia.

Watching them talk before Cecilia went on to talk to someone else, Heather would let out a small laugh, shaking her head. "You two seem like pretty good friends as well." She would say with a little joking laugh. "Actually, that's not all that different from how me and her conversations go either, so it's no surprise really." Heather would take a sip of her milkshake before she would see Emily turn around and talk to someone behind her, causing Heather to look up over her shoulder.

Noticing that it was Clyde, Heather would smile wide and get up off her seat. "Clyde! Glad you could make it here." She would say, going over to him to give him a hug before she would step back a bit. "Thank you for giving me some time to talk to Cecilia. It isn't too often anymore that we get to talk outside the ring."

Mamouru ordered some fine rice beer and looked at the scene. He then watched as a rather stunning young woman approached and sat next to him, ordering a drink of her own. He smiled politely at her.

"Hello." He said and nodded. She was rather straightforward with her question. He smiled as he thought of what to say. "I definitely know Cecelia-san." He said not indicating that they were a couple. "You do not know her?" He asked tilting his head curiously. "If I may ask, what is your name? I am Higurashi Mamouru."

[Kite2014]

Tsumi gave Mamouru a slight smile as she waited for her drink. She had to admit he was kind of cute. But then again so where a lot of Ceciliaâ€s friends were either cute or hot in their own way. Tsumi then heard him ask if she did not know Cecilia as she nods. “Yeah, I do not know her, I just met her today. You see Iâ€m a bit new here and well, I thought it was a way that well…I could meet some knew people and hopefully make some new friends here. Heh, you know how it is being the new person without really knowing anyone.”

Tsumi smiled as she looked at Mamouru and giggled a little bit as her Appletini arrived. “I got addicted to these while I was in America. Oh wait where are my manners? My name is Yoshida Tsumi, and well Iâ€m new here.” She then took a sip of her appletini as she giggles a bit.

Bonnie was quite happy to see that Cecilia liked her present and the cake, though she couldn't help but feel a bit jealous that she seemed to like a dang ol' barbwire bat over The Viking Cake but oh well. Either way Bonnie was happy and thought everyone here was cool. Cec's boyfriend seemed nice, thinking it was rather cute that he blushed after she called him tall. And so that other white-haired girl seemed nice as well. but wondered where Adrian and Rebecca were.

Then in came Rebecca and Bonnie jumped out of her seat! "ReBECCAAAA!!" Bonnie responded, pumping her fist to her friend as she entered the restaurant. "WASSUP!!" She'd let out, going over to Rebecca to give her a quick hug. "...Where's Addy?" Bonnie would ask curiously, turning her head as she did so.

Meanwhile Clyde was having the usual domestic misunderstanding regarding Heather, shuffling nervously behind the rather tall, yet slender looking woman that was Emily Nelson, watching her talk away with Heather. He would lift his head up and see Emily turn to him and ask if there was a problem and Clyde got a bit nervous and intimated by the Scotswoman for a sec before he shook it off and tried to speak before he was cut off by Heather.

"H-Heather?" Clyde would ask, his jaw dropping a bit as he saw how different she looked in her new attire, blinking frantically as this lovely looking young woman hugged him with stepping back a bit. She looked really Beautiful tonight. Clyde always thought Heather was a beautiful woman but now even more so than ever. "A-Ah...N-No Problem... Wow... You... Uh... I thought you were... And you look... Uh.... Wow..." Stammered Clyde as he responded as best he could to Heather, realizing that she wasn't mad at him, nothing was wrong and nothing had changed.

"....You... Look wonderful, tonight..." He'd tell her softly before his eyes widened and he tried to correct his sentence. "I-I-I mean... You Always do! B-But it's just tonight you look even.... Uhh.... G-God... I love you. I'm sorry for earlier..." He'd tell her apologetically while looking her in the eyes.

His gaze then shifted to Emily, giving her a rather nervous and embarrassed grin but way more confident now that his worries were gone. "H-Hi... Nice to meet ya, I'm Clyde." He'd say while extending his hand out to her.

Meanwhile Bonnie realized that maybe was the time to set up the cake. She took it out of the box and set it on the counter in an area to herself and began to place the several candles around the helmet piece of the cake while the others were chatting away. Smiling the whole time, happy that everyone else was happy, happy that her brother's troubles seemed to be over now like she expected. Times like these with family and friends was just wonderful. She hoped they would stay like this for a long time. As much as it could.

Rebecca smiled as her and Adrian's combined present went down well "Glad you like it, now she wont force me to force you to put it on. Although now I'll never get payback for the bunny ears." She joked, at least something was going right for her today, this whole party thing might be fun, even if Cecilia's boyfriend Mamouru was here. She had heard about him from Clyde, not the best of sources for information about someone, she knew, but if he really was as much of a dick then she wouldn't hesitate to put him through every table in the place, one by one.

A blush crept on to her face as Bonnie rushed up to hug her "...Nice to see you too Bonnie." She said, slightly embarrassed by how open she was being about the whole thing, Adrian must have rubbed off on her. Then the whole thing took a sour approach "I don't know." she said solemnly. "No-one's seen her for about a week and a half. She hasn't been home at all, no-one's seen her around the arena, and I couldn't find her at any cons..."

"Come on, you can do this..." A masked girl told herself, dressed in long black pants and a green jacket, she could have been anyone: if not for the black and yellow mask showing the world who it was. Bullet Ant was pacing outside the diner, undecided on whether to go in or not. There were too many people there, only Cecilia knew who she was, and she'd probably tell everyone else as soon as she saw her face. Rebecca would also probably figure it out just by how she acted, and then she'd be in trouble.

"What the hell am I gonna say? Sorry for vanishing for last week? Sorry that I went psycho again and completely blew my chance to not be a piece of shit? How is Beck's gonna be? Angry? Sad? Gahhh! Dammit Adrian, you fuck up." the incognito Adrian Kytes fought with herself. Maybe she should just walk in, she was being stared at, and just staying outside and whining like a crazy girl was what cost her Natalia as a friend. Taking a deep breath, she slowly opened the door and stepped inside

"Umm...hi!"

[Underdog21]

Emily smiled as she shook Clyde's hand. "Charmed. I'm Emily Nelson. I tek it ye already know Miss Sunderland here? I'm already guessing that ye're a mutual acquaintance of Cec." He'd noticed the way he'd looked at her so nervously before, and in all honesty, she found it adorable.

She took the time, at this point, to glance at some of the other visitors who came thronging in. She noticed a massive, dark-skinned woman who would have given even Bomber Kishima a run for her money. Then there was a smaller girl who was happily chatting up Mamouru, a blonde girl with a very loud Texan accent (not unlike Clyde's), and, entering just now, a wiry girl dressed in some sort masked getup, seemingly muttering angrily to herself before stepping through the door and announcing her presence with a cheerful "Hi!"

She chuckled a little. "Hello to you, luv. Pardon me if I din know who you are, but then I'm something of a stranger here."
