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.]

[Diarmuid appreciates his perceptiveness in this situation. He really does.]

If you are curious, ask sometime when we aren't suppose to be celebrating. I will fill in the details.

[He just doesn't want to think about it now. Jade's reply does a great deal in helping him stop thinking about it too. In fact, he laughs.]

Well, I suppose that is one reason. Did anyone even tell you what we're celebrating or did you just happen to see the party going on?

[sarcasmancer]

[Jade adjusts his glasses, briefly hiding his eyes from view.]

I'm not that much of a sadist. If you want to tell me, that is another matter, though.

[He lowers his hand, expression pleasant again.]

I merely happened by, and poking my head in quickly told me the basics. The look on Waver's face alone made it impossible for me to resist joining in. What is the occasion?

[oathshackledbird]

Oh now... Is that so...

[Diarmuid gives Jade an amused look.]

I never would have guessed.

[He laughs and then holds up his right hand displaying the ring on it.]

Do engaged couples give each other rings on your world?

[sarcasmancer]

[It's a deserved jab, and Jade lets it slide off like so much water on a duck's back with an affable shrug and a smile. He raises an eyebrow at the ring, but his only response is:]

They do.

[...possibly only his particular iteration of Auldrant they do, as the mun isn't actually sure about that but let's just move on.]

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid nods. That makes things just a little easier. He turns and points over at Waver.]

So, if I draw to your attention that he's wearing a matching ring, you're perceptive enough to put two and two together, right?

[See, Diarmuid figures if Jade works things out himself, when Waver yells at him for 'telling' someone else, he can say honestly, he didn't. Jade is just that smart...]

[sarcasmancer]

[Jade doesn't laugh. He does, however, look extremely amused.]

Oh, so it's exactly what it looked like after all, then.

[oathshackledbird]

[He sees that amusement Jade. He sees it.]

Yes...it is. Don't tease him too much about it, okay? I would like him to relax enough at some point to actually enjoy things a little bit.

[Notice he says 'too much' instead of 'not at all.' Diarmuid tries not to ask the impossible of people. It's not really fair...]

[sarcasmancer]

Haha. Then I suppose I'd better go lightly tease him. Please excuse me.

[He does indeed notice that. That's why he strolls on over to Waver to make things worse instead. This is what happens when you ask Jade to help, Diarmuid!!]
