happy birthday from all of us to you

Who: All the Dangans + Parker!
Where: Violet City
When: 8/31, evening
Summary: It's Ishimaru's birthday and his classmates are throwing him a surprise party. This can't end badly.
Rating: PG-13 for language. I'll update this if there are any changes!
Log:
Never again. Mondo is never planning a party this big ever again. Of course the original plan didn't take into account the arrival of five classmates, so originally this would have been easy enough to handle. Now, though? He'd practically run himself ragged making sure that everyone was here and everything was ready.

The hotel was kind enough to lend them the Conference Room for the occasion, and it was quite a large room that should easily fit all of the Hope's Peak classmates and Alice. All the food is spread out on a table by the wall (it's entirely vegetarian, since that's what Ishimaru likes) and the tables are situated nearby so that the guests can actually sit and eat. There's plenty of open space in case anyone wants to dance to the music that's been set up (though Mondo doubts Ishimaru will set foot on the dance floor, it's mostly to entertain the other guests). The gifts are all piled in the back corner and there's even a large TV for the guests to watch. All in all, it seems like the perfect place to hold a party.

All that's left is for Fujisaki to bring Ishimaru to the location, so Mondo fires off a quick text to his friend, letting Fujisaki know that everyone's ready and in position. This is gonna be awesome.

[What is up with the girls in this classroom? Aside from Fujisaki-san and not really, but no one's cleared that up with Leon just yet!!, all the rest of them were really into being wall-flowers and staring.

Leon sits at one of the tables, poking his cake with a fork. It had looked appetizing at the start but after a few bites he had looked up and accidentally met Celes-san's blank but intense gaze. Recalling their conversation over the Gear is enough for him to lose his appetite for the time being. He's discontent to let her get away with taunting him, but he's honestly too tired to start an argument and especially not on Ishimaru's birthday.

So there's no confrontation. Just a lot of poking and trying his best to ignore her lazer gaze.

[Oh, Celes doesn't miss the fallout Leon endures after their gazes meet. Accidentally, really - she'd simply been scanning the room and he had been unfortunate enough to look at her at just the right moment. It amuses her - clearly, toying with him over the Gear had made somewhat of a lasting impression. He'd always been a livewire. 

Men like him annoyed her. The loud, feisty types with no filter had always reminded her of dogs that desperately needed a leash. Although judging by Leon's current behaviour, he appeared to have been suitably cowed. How interesting. 

The fact that he was refusing to look at her made approaching him all too easy - Celes has never had trouble moving silently, after all. So enjoy the site of her standing right in front of you when you next flick your eyes in her direction, Leon.]
 

Do you not like the cake, Kuwata-kun?
struck_out: (You nuts?)

[personal profile] struck_out 2013-09-01 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Shit!

[Leon just about falls over backwards on his chair; what is up with all you ninja girls! He already suffered a minor shock when Kirigiri ghosted up right next to him, but at least Kirigiri was...nicer isn't the word he'd use, but at least she hadn't said or implied anything hurtful or mean towards him. Celes though...

Once he's regained some balance and dignity, he regards Celes with a wary look. What's her game here? After their brief chat over the Gear, he didn't expect her to approach him for conversation.

D-don't sneak up on me like that, Celes-san!! I nearly had a heart attack!
divinitea: (HMM ♣ 100% guilt-free)

[personal profile] divinitea 2013-09-01 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Ohohoho, so suspicious, Kuwata-kun! You needn't worry about her playing games with you - it's no fun when there's no challenge, after all~] 

If you are worried about heart attacks, I would not be eating the cake. Perhaps some iceberg lettuce would be more appropriate. 

[We'll just lovingly ignore any issues that arose from the fact that she decided to ninja her way up to you, 'k? Because well...chances are it won't be the last time, if she's going to keep getting reactions like that....]

Hey, you're the one who snuck up on me. I mean, give a guy some warning next time, ok? Jeez. Besides, who the hell wants to eat iceberg lettuce at a birthday party? That's just kinda weird.

[His mouth is just running on autopilot, picking on small details and turning them into small talk. Leon really, really doesn't want to speak with Celes. She's already unsettled him twice since he's been here, and he'd rather avoid a third.

So, it's straight to the point then.
]

Anyway, what the hell do you want? I thought you didn't want to hang around with me or something.
divinitea: (SMILE ♠ you're an idiot ^_^)

[personal profile] divinitea 2013-09-01 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't sneak up on you - you're just really not the observant type. 

[And that is apparently the end of that little number.] 

Besides, It seems silly to go out of my way to avoid you here. After all, with this many witnesses I'm sure even you won't do anything to upset the mood! 

[Like yelling and screaming and storming out - come now Kuwata-kun, surely you wouldn't ruin Ishimaru's birthday party like that? It's almost like...you're forced to talk to her... 

...not that she planned it that way, or anything. Merely coincidence!]
 

However, if you really aren't feeling very social, I'll leave you alone. I just want you to answer a question for me first.
struck_out: (Pissed Off)

[personal profile] struck_out 2013-09-01 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
Tch-!!

[ He doesn't even like Ishimaru that much as a friend! But it is his birthday and Celes read him right; he doesn't want to ruin it especially after Ishimaru told him that the best gift of al was all of them here. ]

Fine. What is it.
divinitea: (WHAT ♥ pls die a little quieter okay)

[personal profile] divinitea 2013-09-01 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Celes doesn't beat around the bush.]

Why did you break into the bathroom?

[personal profile] struck_out 2013-09-01 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
[It's always that question isn't it?

Leon almost seems to deflate, as he considers how best to phrase his answer. He could tell a lie, but that would just make him look even more suspicious. And lying to the SHSL Gambler, the Queen of Liars? Really?

On the other hand, telling Celes the truth wasn't something he wanted to do either. He didn't know whether he could trust her with the details, or if she'd blow them up in proportion to their classmates and feign ignorance if asked. And between her and him, it's a safe bet that the one who'll get away with a fib isn't going to be him.

And he didn't want her holding his truth over his head.

A few seconds past as he remains slouched over his chair, before he finally answers her question.
]

I wanted...I wanted to talk to her.

[And that's as much as he's willing to say about the issue. His eyes snap back up sharply to meet Celes's, and he's barely managing to suppress his temper.]

That good enough for you?
divinitea: (THINKING ♥ i could sell your kidney...)

[Celes is quiet for a while, eyes boring into his, before she flicks her gaze down to her Gothita. They silently stare at each other for a good half a minute, unblinking, as if they're communicating in a way that no-one but they can understand.

...it probably doesn't make her look any less creepy, uh.

Regardless, Celes eventually closes her eyes and turns back to Leon. Her face is expressionless but her eyes are focused. She's thinking. Contemplating.]

I admire your dedication to civilized conversation.

[And that's all she says on the topic - no hints as to whether or not she believes him, no....no nothing. Celes merely returns her usual smile to her face, links her fingers together and nods prettily.]

Do consider the lettuce, won't you? I've heard Oowada-kun has a tendency to cook with extra butter.

[Honestly at this point, he's so pissed at her that he doesn't even feel unnerved. He's starting to realise that maybe, just maybe, there's a reason why she's always bringing up this trial, and that it's not because she wants to make sure that he won't repeat his crimes here.

But he can't prove anything, and he's pretty sure if he says anything about it now he's going to end up yelling. So he doesn't. And he's answered her question fair and square, so if she's not going to leave then he is. Pushing his chair away from his table, he picks up his bag and walks out, but not before he mutters to her:

I hate lettuce.
