recolle | Celebrate Good Times

WHO: Fynn Izunia, Team Brandywine, Colleagues & Close CR
WHERE: The Outdoor Patio, Ardyn’s House
WHEN: 8/26 (Afternoon)
WHAT: Fynn makes good to throw a little cookout for his colleagues to celebrate their alleged victory. Of course, he sought Ardyn’s permission first before slapping this shindig together. There's not much in the form of decorations but there's plenty of food, drinks and ice cream to go around.
WARNINGS: Copious amounts of alcohol? Other than that, nothing really.

[The telltale aroma of meat frying on the grill is enough to entice anyone to visit the party out back. It's not so much of a party as it is a small gathering of friends and coworkers alike. It's rather low key event much to everyone's surprise since Fynn isn't someone you would describe as low key. The man's a loud and abrasive asshole even on a sunny day but be damned if he can't cook. Even with his right arm still sore from stitches and bandaged from the shoulder down, Fynn managed to get most of the food prepared for this afternoon. He's been working since morning to get everything set
Up but not without Ardyn's help here and there. Fynn might know how to grill but his take on potato salad is an acquired taste most wouldn't appreciate.]

Okay! The hamburgers are done![He yells over towards the others. Fynn Really shouldn't be drinking while grilling but he has a beer in one hand, and the cooking tongs in the other.] Better get them before the cat does!

[He's referencing the mischevious black feline that's literally stalking both him and the grill. Erebus, Ardyn's cat, is on the prowl. Either make peace with the fact the cat will beg you to oblivion for the food or offer it some. Either way welcome to the party and please don't spike the fruit punch Fynn made. There's plenty of sake, beers and wines to go around. The fruit punch and soda is meant for the younger guests who aren't quite twenty-one yet.

Don't even think about grabbing a beer, kids. Fynn has eyes on the back of his head and a sixth sense for that nonsense.]

(ooc: feel free to mingle amongst yourselves! I'll be popping in and out between threads. Characters are allowed to bring their own food & snacks too.

[Of course Jirou recognizes Elda and he sways his way over to her with a dog in his arms, a drink in hand, and his dress swinging attractively. He gives a giggle and even leans way down to give her cheek a quick kiss. Way...way down. He's a giant and can't help it.]

Hi, Elda! You look amazing! Are things any better now?

[ You know, for how disreputable the man seemed the first week, he really pulled through since that initial impression. Still a weird mis-match of expected identities (being giant, being muscular, being a drag queen, being a fashionista) but... hey, whatever.

He's fun, honestly.

She grins, trying to kiss his cheek when he leaned down as well. That's not proper English but hey neither's she really. ]

Toushiro made it home safe and sound! Silver's avoiding me a little, but what else is new? I'm sure he's busy reorienting with his roommates and getting his classes in order.

[ Oh, cute dog. ]

[He makes sure to stay down long enough for her to give him a kiss back. Then he plops himself down to sit next to her. Better than just towering over her by continuing to stand, right?

His dog settles on his lap, content to just be with his mommy.]

That sounds great! Let me know if you need anything now that things are settling, okay? Even if I can't do something I'm sure I know someone I can hire to help!

I'm not that bad off, you know!

[ she's actually quite wealthy... though it's old money, stuff made by her ancestors and invested well enough it'll never really fade but also not necessarily gaining more.

She laughs all the same, sitting near him and taking a sip of her wine ]

I suppose things have have been good for you, then?

Hm? I didn't think you were. I just thought having help would be nice because coming out of this can be tough!

[He takes good care of his friends and all that.]

Yep! I've been cuddling with Kenti and my boyfriend, Kenta. And Kenta has been making sure I rest lots to take care of my injuries.

[ . . . Gosh, he really is a kind soul, isn't he?

She laughs a little, shaking her head. ]

You did rack up a few, didn't you? Do you have a prognosis yet?

Well the bruises and cuts will heal no problem. No scars. The acid burn is going to take a couple more weeks before they'll even consider looking at treatments to reduce discoloration and stuff. That one got me really good.

[Yeah...that nice burn to his back and side has really sucked but he's been managing okay.]

I'm not sure if that's lucky or unlucky. It's definitely lucky compared to what we actually encountered, but I happened to luck out a bit better.

[ She opens her hand, looking down at a faint scar that's now running the length of it through the middle where she caught a Splicer's blade. ]

... Basically all of my injuries healed already, because my healing sped up when that little bat which was following me around bit me. I guess he took a little bit of energy from the monsters and gave them back to me.

Wow. Your injuries can heal faster than normal?

[He blinks in surprise because that's...seriously amazing! Really impressive too!]

Not anymore. [ She shrugs ] Or at least, I don't think so - I'm still super strong, but the thing which was letting me heal faster was that little bat which was following me along. It gave me and my body extra energy.

[ But the bat's vanished by now. ]

Oh. So it just had to do with the bat? Awwww and it was really cute too!

[He misses bat friend already. Even if he never really got much of a chance to interact with bat friend.]

Yeah, he sort of was.

[ Sigh. ] Yep though, pretty sure it was just the bat! Maybe I'm more durable though, I dunno. I didn't break anything when that big rat fell on me.

...Ew.

[Yep. That's about all he has to say to that.]

Look we had to deal with it somehow.

[ . . . But yes, a little ew, bravado aside. ]

But it was a rat. And it fell on you.

I know.

[ And it was attacking Fynn and Aizawa and her so... she had to do her best, okay. ]

I'm almost glad I faced an acid demon instead.

[Almost. The burn treatment has sucked big time.]

That was the second big thing, right? That time, I was doing Simon Says with the kid and getting pulled off my skeletons.

[ A beat, and after a short laugh at that- ]

... Are you recovering okay from that, though?
