St. John's Eve Celebration (backdated to the 23rd)

[anita_hero]

[It's only just stopped raining when Anita lights the bonfire.

She knows this is bad timing. She knows she should probably call the whole thing off. She knows anyone who does show up is probably going to be bruised to hell and back, at best. But it's St. John's Eve and she said there was going to be a party, and if there's one thing Anita is terrible at, it's giving up.

Besides, she did cook an absurd amount of food (with help, of course) and the bonfire is sort of ungodly huge, and she figures that everyone will want sustenance and warmth soon.

She's dressed all in white, as befits her position as host, and before anyone shows up she says the prayers by herself, because she doubts anyone else will want to. That's okay. She's pretty sure the gods will understand, given whole trapped-on-another-world and there's-just-been-a-war-on-the-moon situation.

If you decide to show up to the party outside Community Housing Building 4, there will be a ton of traditional Creole food, some music, a bonfire, and plenty of places to sit in case you're not feeling up to standing. Feel free to mingle!]

[Him? Do something like that? Never. But wow. You wake up fast when you want to.]

Well yeah, a guy can sleep when he's done a good job. Just not next to a bonfire when he's rolling around whilst trying to get some rest.

[Good job. Sure. Let's go with that.]

[rashness]

I'm not gonna roll into any bonfire, four-eyes!

[!!!]

[sharpness]

[Wow. Excuse you.]

Then the next time you drop off how about doing it somewhere you won't end up getting burned? If you were this tired then you should have stayed home and slept in your own bed.

[rashness]

A duty's a duty and a party's a party! I said I'd show up for this, and it's a good way to unwind and all that after the fighting!

[sharpness]

The host would have understood that you couldn't make it if you told her you were fighting non-stop for the past few days.

[rashness]

She knows aliens, man, she probably has been too, so I came too.

[sharpness]

Even so I'm sure she would have understood. She probably at least took breaks rather than moving around constantly anyway.

[rashness]

People were getting hurt, Yukio! Unlike someone, I can't just ignore that!

[sharpness]

It's possible to protect others without diving in and hoping 'whatever' works, sometimes you need to stop and think. I didn't want anyone to be hurt either so calm down.

[rashness]

Yeah, just like you didn't on the train, right? [CHEE]

[sharpness]

That was different. [THEY WERE ALREADY DEAD NBD]

[rashness]

No it wasn't, and you know it. They deserved a funeral.

[sharpness]

[Whatever. He's too tired for this. You should be too tired for this too but it seems arguing works wonders at waking people up. Come on, he even told Rin he was right about all this back then.]

We saw them off in the end. At least they weren't carted off to Gehenna.

[rashness]

...Alright, fair enough.

[Scoff. And he goes to sit down somewhere properly, sighing]

[sharpness]

[Huff.]

Make sure you go home if you feel as though you're going to fall asleep again, please.

[He'll just go off and get some food now, guns and cleaning supplies still with him.]

[rashness]

Yeah, whatever, little bro.

[HUFFPUFF. He'll just settle in by the fire and ignore your overbearingness]
