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.]

[Zelda doesn't know about the party. She's just coming to this floor because it's the closest elevator stop to the mailroom. But then the doors open and...]

[sageprincess]

[... Din, Nayru, and Farore, what chaos has been wrought here.

Just gonna.... slowly reach for the 'door close' button. Someone stop her.]

[attheclocktower]

Zelda?

[Sorry Zelda, before you can quite reach that door close button you're going to be accosted asked a question]

Are you here for Waver's anniversary too?

[sageprincess]

[And she was being so sneaky, too!]

Ah... no. I was just going to pass through. Is that what this all is for?

[midgarhorizon]

Hey Princess, grab some cake! Relax! [Reno's cheerful voice is disembodied-- where could he be hiding?] There's food..!

[Yep. You're stuck for it now, Zelda. How can you say no in front of the bitty?]

[sageprincess]

[Reno, what did you get yourself into this time...]

Is... he all right?

[She speaks to Xion, hesitance plain on her face. Oh, no, she's not so sure about all this--]

[attheclocktower]

[Xion hesitates - truth be told Reno's disembodied voice had startled her a little - then shrugs]

I think so, though... Waver's really mad at him for some reason.

[Maybe he just didn't want attention drawn to his Towerversary?]

[sageprincess]

Dare I ask what he might have done that would send him into hiding?

[She's so incredibly lost right now, she doesn't even know the fake reason for this party.]

[puppy_lancer]

...Princess?

[The only thing Lancer can do is gape in awkward silence.]

Um...hi?

[sageprincess]

... Hello, Lancer.

[Carefully constructed politeness and neutrality, yep. No reason to get upset over the past when a third party is being celebrated.]

[puppy_lancer]

Well, uh...come and make yourself comfortable. Last party before we all get serious.

[He grins, even though it's a little strained.]

And, uh...I'm sorry about what happened a while ago.

[sageprincess]

It is fortunate that our wills will have fewer opportunities to be tested in the future.

[And that's all she's going to say about that. For obvious reasons, the labyrinth is not her favorite subject.]

Are you the host of this party?

[puppy_lancer]

Me and Reno both. He did most of the work. You should go thank him.

...And drop Diarmuid and Waver a "congratulations."

[sageprincess]

... I would if I could find him.

[He seems to be in hiding.]

Ah, so it is that kind of party, I see.

[Suddenly the chaos is starting to make more sense.]

[puppy_lancer]

[Probably because of Waver's anger.]

Yeah, that kind of party. Make sure to grab a drink and some cake for the happy couple.

[sageprincess]

So long as it does not incur anyone's ire-- [LIKE SOME PEOPLE.] --I suppose it is easier to get here than it is the cafeteria.

[Though she's totally going to be wallflowering it up, sorry everyone.]

[puppy_lancer]

Pretty sure nobody here has a grudge against you. And if I see any troublemakers, I'll throw them out.

[fionnuisce]

For your own sake, run while you still can.

[sageprincess]

I was just planning on passing through, I swear.

[And then Reno sent The Bitty.]

Are the odds of getting to the stairs that poor?

[fionnuisce]

[that clever bastard.]

At this rate? I'd call it nearly impossible.

[sageprincess]

[She's sorry, Waver, she is but a mortal woman.]

I suppose I will not be checking my mail today, then...

[fionnuisce]

I can't apologize enough for these idiots, really.

[sageprincess]

[She sighs, shaking her head. Reno has been getting into trouble from the day she met him, and Lancer is... Lancer. She really isn't surprised.]

Ah, are you the one this celebration is in honor of, then?

[fionnuisce]

To my infinite regret and newly found deep hatred, yes. My name is Waver Velvet.

[sageprincess]

You have my sincerest sympathies, Waver.

[She says with an apologetic smile, followed by a bow of her head.]

I am Princess Zelda of Hyrule. It may be for naught at this point, if Reno is already in hiding, but... is there anything I can do to help?
