Characters: Lord Grumpypants, Diarmuid, Diarmuid's idiot brothers, the extended family, and open to their CR and anyone that just wants to drop by.
Setting: Floor 81
Format: Party style, whichever format you prefer
Summary: When two busybodies start plotting, all hell breaks loose. "Waver's Anniversary" (or more informally known as Waver and Diarmuid's wedding party.) It's just a party. Nothing to see here. That cake is white just by... accident... and decorated to match the rings... yeeeeeeep... complete accident.
Warnings: Someone may decide to drown a couple people... who knows.

[In case someone is observant enough to notice, Waver and Diarmuid have been wearing matching rings... and under the disguise of a convenient excuse, that being Waver's one year anniversary in the Tower, Lancer and Reno have thrown a party to celebrate.

Keeping the relationship a perfect secret, of course. It's just a party. Good times, shooting the breeze, card games. Unfortunately, there's no booze. The lounge has been set up with a buffet with food from the Floor Sixty Kitchen, and there's a cake.

The cake happens to be white, and decorated. And that celtic knot decoration may just be matching the rings. Complete accident, of course.]

Wha- [WHAT THE HELL IS THAT OH SHIT RENO IS RUNNING.

Waver you disappoint your bro in law so much, he thought you were cool.]

[fionnuisce]

[HE IS TOTALLY COOL, HE HAS A MERCURY MAID CHASE HIS PROBLEMS AROUND WHILE HE LIGHTS A CIGARETTE]

You're going to have to move a lot faster if you want to get away from it!

[And boy that maid sure can run.]

[midgarhorizon]

[Speak for yourself, Reno is dodging around chairs and jumping over sofas. In a minute he'll bolt down the stairs...]

WAVER. Get this thing off me!

[fionnuisce]

[This did seem slightly disproportionate...on the other hand Reno was far too pushy with this kind of thing and may have had a punch in the face coming.]

Tch...Revertaris. [The maid almost immediately dropped into a liquid puddle and flowed back up into a glass vial in Waver's hand.]

How many times must we go through this, Reno? Are you truly this committed to pissing me off, or is doing so some social convention that's flown over my head?

[midgarhorizon]

[Poking his head out from behind a sofa, Reno looks around warily.]

How many times do people get to let steam off around here? 'Sides... ...it's Lancer's fault.

[When in doubt, blame it on Cu.]

[fionnuisce]

Both of you are responsible for this, and don't think I can even imagine a situation where that's not the case!

[YOU'RE TROUBLE, THE PAIR OF YOU]

Don't try to get away with this by shoving the other dumbass under the bus!

[midgarhorizon]

Hey hey, I'm just administration.

[He's holding up his hands like Waver's got a loaded gun on him... which he might because Reno is staring at that mercury.]

'Sides, if you keep that up you're goin' to give it away. It's an anniversary party.

[fionnuisce]

[Waver certainly hadn't put the vial away yet. Reno was lucky he'd even bothered to close it.]

What in the hell are you going on about?

[Something has sure gone over his head alright.]

[midgarhorizon]

... [There's something wrong here. Reno's narrowing his eyes at Waver.]

What the heck do ya think this thing is for?

[fionnuisce]

You're sticking your obnoxiously red head into my personal life again, clearly. I don't need to be a fucking professor to figure that out.

[midgarhorizon]

[Standing up, Reno places both hands on his hips, pulling his loose blazer back.]

Yeah? You got family and all the obligations that come with it. Tough shit, Waver. You're not alone anymore.

[fionnuisce]

That doesn't mean everyone and their goddamned cousin needs to be part of whatever I might be doing at the time!

[No, Reno, he doesn't realize that's exactly what it means.]

[midgarhorizon]

[Yeah, that's just getting a disbelieving stare out of Reno.]

[fionnuisce]

What?

[Legitimately no idea. It's a little sad, really.]

[midgarhorizon]

FAMILY.

[fionnuisce]

Repeating yourself doesn't make you automatically make sense!

[midgarhorizon]

You... really didn't have one, did ya?

[Somehow, that idea really deflates Reno's cheer...]

[fionnuisce]

... [Waver frowned, folding his arms and turning more serious himself.]

My parents died when I was a child. I was raised primarily by an uncle on my father's side--we weren't very close. When I was a teenager, I enrolled in the Clock Tower and moved out.

[All of that was said in a very matter-of-fact voice, with no clear emotional reaction.]

So no, I mean it literally when I say Diarmuid is more or less my only family. What does that have to do with anything?

[midgarhorizon]

[Pursing his lips in thought, Reno stands there for a moment with a thoughtful frown on his face.

Then he grins and walks over to slap Waver on the back.]

Lucky for you, I got just the thing; a big family. Don't make me send Shion and Xion with orders to bug ya and do their adorable thing...

[fionnuisce]

Ow--! [Waver stumbled slightly, glaring at Reno like he was planning to commit murder.]

That's fighting dirty and you know it.

[midgarhorizon]

Don't think I won't stoop to gettin' Ryoji and Yotsuba to do it too.

[fionnuisce]

Don't think I won't call up Volumen Hydragyrum again.

[midgarhorizon]

Yeah, but by then I'll be surrounded by the kids. Can't stop it, Waver. You're gettin' domesticated whether ya like it or not.

[fionnuisce]

You're just fortunate I find it in bad taste to break your jaw in front of your kids, Reno.

[midgarhorizon]

Diarmuid already beat ya to it, anyway.
