[5] Long Awaited Party

[dammit_yuri]

Who: Flynn Scifo, Yuri Lowell, whoever else.
What: Flynn's been planning a welcome-back party for the past... three months. Let's pretend he's better at planning than I am. Assume Flynn sent out a Mognet letter to most of Yuri's contacts to invite them. Or your character can just crash the party. We want bar fights.
Where: Some random tavern in Aqures Ixen.
When: March 07
Summary: Remember that bar fight in The First Strike? It'll be like that, only funner.
Warnings: I am doped up on allergy medications so my spelling may or may not be more atrocious than usual.


[It had been a long time since he even thought of preparing this, but everything seemed to be all set. He got a semi-private room from a local tavern, and luckily Acrisius and Proteus the moogles were more than responsible enough to get all the invitations sent out. The help he got from various people, including Rukia, Raven, and Yuffie was also appreciated. Finishing hanging up the big sign, Flynn looked at the pristine room. It would be all undone soon, but for now he could bask in its glory. Let's get this party started.]

Maybe if someone had bothered to tell me it was a joke in the first place...

[Rukia takes the darts and sizes up the board. The game doesn't seem all that tough. Scoring is probably the only tricky part, since she's not sure what all the colors represent.]

And that is remarkably false.

[She throws the first dart, and manages to land it pretty close to the bullseye. Beginner's luck!]

You're one of the best friends I've ever had. Implying you're anything less than 'good' is a discredit to us both.

[dammit_flynn]

I'm not the type to try to clear my name. If you're going to assume by seeing or reading something from me, then that's your own problem.

[ He replied shrugging some. It's honestly how he's been behaving for a long time. It would take a miracle for him to change his behavior even now. He was just amused that she actually bought the joke he made to everyone. Not that he regretted it, since their friendship was an interesting one. He wouldn't trade it for anything else to be honest. ]

You think so huh?

[ The swordsman replied giving her a once over. He whistled at the aim. Not bad, not bad. Keep going Short Stuff. ]

Is that so? Well, you can call me whatever you like, but I'll remind you that I'm not "good" guy.

[damn_juicebox]

I'm a soul reaper. It's not my job to issue moral judgment on your sins or your good deeds.

[She holds her breath, taking careful aim...and bam, right in the bullseye again. Rukia beams, looking proud of herself. She might bag this one so long as she's able to maintain her concentration and cool. ...Both of which Yuri is notorious for disrupting.]

But you've stood beside me through difficult times. And you've forgiven me for my own foolish choices.

[Rukia looks at him with a smile.]

You are a very dear friend, Yuri Lowell. I hope that never changes.

[She holds the last dart and eyes the board, adjusting her aim carefully.]

[dammit_flynn]

Hah, so you've stated many times.

[ He replied laughing at her response. She took her responsibilities and jobs pretty seriously and he respected her for that. Though, he couldn't help but jab at it sometimes since she really needed to drop it for the time being. She wasn't a Soul Reaper here. He didn't want her to feel that burden while she was trying to have a different life. ]

Right, right. It's just what I do. You don't have to keep praising me for it.

[ He chuckles. ]

I hope not. It'd be kind of strange not having you around to pick on.

[damn_juicebox]

I didn't come to this world to provide you a ready supply of entertainment.

[Of course she knows he knows this, but she's going to rebuke him casually in any case. She throws the last dart. It only lands in the inner ring, which she supposes isn't terrible. She goes to gather her darts and bring them back to Yuri.]

In any case, I'll praise you whenever I choose. It's the reason why this party was thrown in the first place, if you recall.

[dammit_flynn]

You bet you're entertaining.

[ He replied with a smug look on his face before shaking his head. ]

Trust me if you were just entertaining we wouldn't be hanging out too much now would we?

[ He replied with a shrug of his shoulders. Yuri takes the darts from her as well and he selectively starts throwing them towards the dart board. Of course, not all of them hit the center but they got pretty close. He was bored a lot so he often learned how to play simple games at taverns and such. ]

Right. It's not like I can stop you from saying how you feel. Yeah, Flynn sure gets like this a lot when it comes to me. I might be a bit surprised that he got you all in on it.

[damn_juicebox]

I can't imagine why that would be a surprise to you.

[She watches him throw the darts with interest. He seems like he's pretty good at this game, but then again, she has yet to see something he isn't good at.]

You've been a good friend to all of us, and stood beside us when we needed someone the most. Even when I was at my darkest, you didn't turn away from me.

[Rukia looks back at him with a proud smile, her hands on her hips.]

I can only imagine the others have similar experiences. You're an upstanding friend and ally to have.

[dammit_flynn]

Who knows? Flynn does things to the extreme sometimes.

[ He replied with a chuckle. He was pretty appreciative of his friend but sometimes he wondered if Flynn really should do all of this. They didn't need to nor did Flynn. However, he'll keep note of it so he could at least do something for Flynn. However, it might be his face into a cake for his birthday but what are friends for? ]

It's what I do best, so don't think too highly of it. You all got your own pluses-- and dealing with me I suppose.

[ He laughed a little as he said that. ]

Haha, I dunno about that but thanks.
