8th flight: [Action]

[skyborne_mage]

[Arche is humming cheerfully to herself as she finishes setting up the last of the decorations for Chester's belated birthday party.  Cless will be by with him any moment now, so she's got to make sure everything's ready.  Food, streamers, "Happy birthday" sign, cake, alcohol...

Looking good!]

Suzu, I think we are officially ready!

Welcome, and... [The door flies open, and Arche stands their with a beaming smile on her face. Behind and above her head hangs a sign which reads "Happy Birthday Chester!".] Surprise!

Wh-What is this?

[sweet-shuriken.livejournal.com]

[And Suzu'll follow, smiling as well. o/]

Happy birthday, Chester! We realize that it's late, but we still hope that you would enjoy this!

[Cless is smiling brightly now, unable to help it any longer and moved behind Chester, nudging him in as he spoke.]

It's for you, Arche and Suzu put everything together.

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

So like Suzu said, happy birthday. Belated, but still.

[She grins, stepping aside to let Cless and Chester in.]

[archerblue.livejournal.com]

You guys did this for me...?

[friendly-hero.livejournal.com]

[Walking in and standing near, Cless smiled at Chester's response and gave a small grin to the girls.

He knew this would be good for him once he found out their thoughtful plan.]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

[She wraps her arm around Chester's shoulders with an amused smile on her face, hugging him briefly.]

You're welcome, Chester.

[sweet-shuriken.livejournal.com]

[Suzu isn't much of a hug person, but she'll step up and offer Chester a small package, the size of his hand. The wrapping is plain, but carefully done - it contains a small, carved wooden charm - for good luck, as it was done back in her village.]

It is not much, but I do hope that it will help.

[archerblue.livejournal.com]

I knew you'd probably be the little mastermind behind this.



It's great, Suzu, thanks.

[sweet-shuriken.livejournal.com]

Arche gets all sorts of ideas, but this one is hard to object to.

You're welcome. [She smiles as well.] Oh, would you be hungry? We have arranged for many different type of food for the occasion; it would be a waste to not indulge today.

[Klarth better show up soon. 8|]

[booksnboobs.livejournal.com]

[Ironically summoned like a Summon Spirit! Klarth has appeared outside, carrying a library book with him. He's planning to sit quietly in a corner to continue his research whilst drinking. As long as he doesn't actually get wasted, this couldn't possibly go wrong.

Anyway, have a knock on your door.]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

Hey, who else is going to make sure the big things get done? And furthermore- [But whatever else Arche was going to say is interrupted by the knock, and she flings open the door to find Klarth standing there.]

Klarth! There you are. Come in, come in!.

[booksnboobs.livejournal.com]

[He gives Arche a quick tip of the hat in greeting, before stepping into the house. His gaze moves around the room to find that, hey, everyone's already here.]

I hope I haven't kept you all waiting for too long. Now that I'm here, the party can truly start.

[Speaking of which, where's that birthday boy? He needs to receive his obligatory congratulations.]

[archerblue.livejournal.com]

Hey.

[booksnboobs.livejournal.com]

[It's rare to see Chester smiling like that, but a welcome change. Klarth approaches him and holds out a hand for the birthday boy to shake.]

Chester. Congratulations. As they say, with age comes wisdom.

[archerblue.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I guess you would know.

[booksnboobs.livejournal.com]

[He makes a rather indignant face in response.]

What's that supposed to imply?

[sweet-shuriken.livejournal.com]

Chester's saying that you are wise, of course. ...And old. [She smiles lightly. :D]
