Case 111 [Action]

[manofgnee]

[There's a party today in Xanadu! It's the day before Euphie's 18th birthday, and in an effort to avoid any sort of bad curse, Hanna's throwing her party on Sunday.

There are big picnic tables set up with all sorts of snacks and treats. One table is devoted to desserts, especially the big birthday cake. Hanna even managed to pull through and make cookies, despite his overall inability to cook or bake.

There's music, and speakers, and a myriad of decorations, including balloons, paper lanterns, streamers, and confetti. Hanna's spent the good part of the past week planning this party.
The grill is set up, and the present table is ready as well. Hanna himself is lounging in one of the chairs, a large box in his lap. Every so often, the box moves a bit, and Hanna smiles and sticks a finger through the hole in the top of the box.

Yep. Everything is set for one awesome party.]

That's good. I managed to just be affected by pride.

[deadly_legacy]

Oh! So, you weren't... [Affected by lust.] Oh. Well, that's good. I'm glad you just had pride too. [Good recovery, right?]

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

No. [He tucks his hair behind his ears.] Faith was though. [It's said with a bit of an odd tone.] I didn't know until later.

[deadly_legacy]

I hope you're both all right. [Has been through similar things herself...on both sides.]

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

I think so. I mean...I am and she seems to be.

[deadly_legacy]

Well, I hope she is too. Are you...dating?

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

[Furrowy brow and confusion] No. We're just...friends. [Not really even friends.]

[deadly_legacy]

[She feels awkward. She shouldn't have asked such a personal question. She nods. Maybe a change of subject.] Do you like the music? My friend, Dean, chose it.

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

It's okay. I usually listen to classical music but classic rock had some really good pieces and it was integral to the music we have today.

[deadly_legacy]

You seem very knowledgeable about many things.

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

I guess so. I try to be anyway.

[deadly_legacy]

You remind me a little of some of my siblings in that way.

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

That's a good thing, right?

[deadly_legacy]

[Giggles] Yes, of course. My brother, Lelouch, is very smart too. There are a lot of strategists in the family.

[yesimagenius.livejournal.com]

Do they play chess?

[deadly_legacy]

[That definitely makes her laugh.] There were times I wasn't sure they ever stopped. One of the first things I bought for Lelouch here was a chess board. I'm afraid he doesn't get much of a challenge playing against me though. [Other than her being unpredictable.]

[yes-imagenius.livejournal.com]

I could try playing with him. [He considers this a moment] I just started playing a few years ago so I might not be much of a challenge to him but it'd be someone different.

[deadly_legacy]

I'm sure it would be a welcome departure from playing with me.
