Semi-closed Tomorrowland get together

[[Invitations here, party here. Backdated to yesterday.]]

Thankfully, the kid got over his slightly painful exchange with Katou rather quickly, especially in the face of a party and seeing everyone. He hadn't heard from Demyx, but the kid was holding out hope he'd show up anyway. Seeing the Starcade games on and going made the kid grin. The "DO NOT MAKE OUT HERE" sign on Cayce's office door only made him crack up. Fine, if he and Sara got caught making out anywhere else, and someone complained, he'd point out he wasn't making out in the office.

There were tables for refreshments on the upper level, along with tables for people to sit at with food and drink. He added some sodas he'd brought along to the refreshment table, then a couple of pizzas to another table, already feeling the giddy mood of celebrating for no reason enter his system.

His "duties" done, Setsuna went to the lower level and, instead of waiting by the door like a good host, the kid, impatiently, started to play one of the games.

"Hey... This is my senpai, actually. Kira Sakuya," Setsuna explained. "And Seto was a friend of his from the other school we were at." As for anime...Setsuna wanted to see how a drunken Kira explained that. It might be entertaining.

“So… it’s art?” The Doctor surmised. “With monsters and men in dashing coats. Huh.” –from that description it sounded a bit like his life.– “So you’re Kira. I believe you know a friend of mine, the Master? Nice work with that wanted poster, by the way.” –Lucifer certainly wasn’t really living to any of the Doctor’s pre-Disneyland-conceived notions about him. (He's certainly not the Beast in the Pit)–

Setsuna's eyes went wide. "Wanted poster? What wanted poster?" Oh crap. What did Kira do? The Master wasn't someone Setsuna wanted Kira messing with. And there was the other shocker -- "Oh, so he is your friend? It's really hard to tell with how menacing that guys is. On a subtle level."

[a-lonely-god.livejournal.com]

“Oh, didn’t you see?” the Doctor grinned. “He put up a poster with a picture of the Master that said he was wanted for Soliciting and Public Urination, and that there was a three thousand dollar reward. I haven’t laughed so hard in years.”

At Setsuna’s question he shrugged, looking a bit embarrassed. “Weeelll, I say friend… you say subtle…” A wince.

Setsuna and the Doctor’s encounter with the Master at his arrival had been rather far from subtle.

Well, Setsuna's English vocabulary was wanting much, for the most part. He just found the Master's ways to be less direct than his own, so hence usage of the word subtle.

Kira got glared at. "Started it? What was all that talk you used to give me about letting things go?" he scolded, then sighed. But the mention of the amount got a grin from Setsuna. "Only that much, eh? I do like that. It's funny, either way."

When Kira asked if the Master had done anything, while Setsuna hadn't considered it much, he knew how Kira could get, and he was drunk at the moment. He looked right at the Doctor and mouthed, "Nothing. Say nothing about it." To Kira, he said, "No, Senpai. He just seemed a right jerk at his arrival."

“Beep beep, deedlee!” Artoo said, coming up to the little group. “Vwoo wheeo eep?”

[a-lonely-god.livejournal.com]

“Hello yourself!” The Doctor answered happily. “Lookit you, all dolled up! And I’d love some.” He took a glass from the droid’s nearly empty tray. “What is it?”

[thbbt-beep.livejournal.com]

“Bleedoo blip,” Artoo informed him, and made a chuckling noise.

[a-lonely-god.livejournal.com]

“Moonshine? Really?” The Doctor tilted the glass towards himself and peered it with a curious expression.

[swordandchalice.livejournal.com]

"You understand him?" This instance sounded very real and convincing.

[a-lonely-god.livejournal.com]

“Yep.” The Doctor popped the p loudly. “He’s the one who invited me.”

[swordandchalice.livejournal.com]

"Makes sense," Setsuna said, still looking surprised. "I'm glad to know he's got a friend, at least. Sweet little guy like him shouldn't be all alone." And he thought the Doctor was a good friend for just about anyone.

Artoo beepd hello to Kira and then swiveled his dome in Setsuna’s direction.

“Brrdip bwip boop boop wheeo,” he said.

[a-lonely-god.livejournal.com]

“He just wanted to thank you and tell you not to worry about him,” the Doctor told Setsuna. “Says he’s doing fine.”

[swordandchalice.livejournal.com]

"That's good," Setsuna said with a relieved smile. "I'll probably still wonder from time to time and want to check up on that, though."

[swordandchalice.livejournal.com]

Catching Kira's intent - despite trusting Artoo to roll away as agreed - Setsuna reached over to smack his hand, lightly, and scolded, "No, Sakuya. You've had enough."

[a-lonely-god.livejournal.com]

“Well, of course,” the Doctor agreed to Setsuna’s statement, and watched the boy slap Kira’s hand away and chuckling at Artoo’s admonishing response to Kira. “Well, thank you both for the invite,” he said to Setsuna and Artoo. “Guess I’ll go see if I can make any more new friends! Nice to meet you, Kira.”

"You know where to get alcohol from, at least," Setsuna told the Doctor, smiling as he waved him off. "And you're welcome, of course. Have fun. Don't get too drunk."

[a-lonely-god.livejournal.com]

The Doctor laughed.

“Ta,” he said, lifting his glass in Setsuna’s direction, but as he brought it to his lips one of the games made a particularly raucous noise and, distracted, he went to investigate.
