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.]

Open to all!

[Oh, wow, that cake looks amazing! And... really white. Huh. Ryoji had wondered what this party was about before he even arrived, so this just raises more questions.

He takes a slice that's already been cut, and he muses to himself aloud while he enjoys it.]

Huh... Did someone get married?

[That would be really adorable! Hopefully he can run into the happy couple and congratulate them.]

[midgarhorizon]

[Is that Diarmuid's kid? Reno sidles up to him.]

Ask Waver?

[Because Reno doesn't have enough reasons for Waver to kill him yet.]

[notsogrimreaper]

You think he’ll tell me? He seems a little… intense at the moment.

[As in intensely likely to grab Ryoji and shove him into the cake. Which would just be a waste of an excellent dessert.]

[midgarhorizon]

Sure. Why not? Waver's just got that special time of the month all magi get.

[notsogrimreaper]

Special time of the month? I’ve never heard about anything like that… what happens to Waver-san?

[...He’s actually taking you seriously, Reno. Savour it.]

[midgarhorizon]

It's something that happens to all grown up Wavers... they turn real grouchy every so often. Hormones, y'know. Only cure is having fun.

[notsogrimreaper]

That doesn’t sound good at all… But he doesn’t seem like the type to want to have fun, either. What’ll happen if he stays grouchy instead?

[midgarhorizon]

I kinda doubt he will once he's got someone showing him how. 'Sides, he's not nearly as much of a grouch around the other kids. Why don't ya try?

[notsogrimreaper]

You think I could teach him? That would be fun, actually... What other kids does he get along with?

[midgarhorizon]

Well, Shion's not really a kid but he's getting along fine with him. And maybe Xion. Er, I dunno...

[notsogrimreaper]

You think I look like a kid, though? I was in high school!

[But just because he looks like a high schooler…]

[Lancer comes along and pats Ryoji on the back.]

Yep, your dad!

[notsogrimreaper]

Father? Really? But who?

[The one person he seems to spend the most time around besides Lancer is-]

W-Waver-san?

[puppy_lancer]

You guessed it. You're getting two dads now. Aren't you excited?

[notsogrimreaper]

I am! I wasn’t really expecting this to happen, but I am really excited! Why didn’t anyone tell me something so important before?

[puppy_lancer]

Because it took a hell of a time to get Waver to agree. We had to surprise him.

[notsogrimreaper]

Really? Why wouldn’t he want to celebrate something so special? I don’t get him sometimes.

[puppy_lancer]

Because he sees it as a waste of time. He says he wants to use the time to work.

[notsogrimreaper]

Hasn’t he heard the saying, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”? As important as his work is, he needs to relax once in a while...

[puppy_lancer]

If he has, he's ignored it. Seems that work is the thing that relaxes him.

[notsogrimreaper]

That seems strange to me… but I guess if it works for him.

[puppy_lancer]

He's just a stiff. Maybe a kid like you can help loosen him up.

[notsogrimreaper]

You think so? He seems just as grumpy around me, honestly...

[puppy_lancer]

Come on, you're half his son starting today. He'll probably listen more to you than me.

[notsogrimreaper]

But you’re his brother-in-law! That’s important too!
