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.]

I know. [He smiled] I'm fine though, nothing has happened. [At least nothing since Jason's death] I don't want to take you from your friends, Reno said we would be doing some training soon, so we can talk then.

Are you positive?

[The smile helps, but Diarmuid is well aware of how easy it is to hide behind a smile. However, considering the progress he has seen Shion make lately, he hopes that smile is less of a mask and more the real thing.]

We should talk soon. I am free whenever you want to meet. Just let me know.

[Shion nodded and leaned forwards to hug Diarmuid tightly] We will, but first you have to enjoy yourself [And make sure Waver doesn't murder Reno, one of the main reasons Shion isn't too keen on moving with Diarmuid out of where he can see both and keep an eye on them.]

[Diarmuid returns the hug happily.]

I will do my best. I am really more worried about Waver managing to relax enough to enjoy it. At least I managed to get him to promise not to kill Reno or my brother. It's a step...

It's a start, and I think he might enjoy it anyways... even if it is hard for him to show it.

About a week from now once the anger passes, perhaps.

[When he's alone and no one is around to see the slight smile that tugs at the corner of his mouth for about a second...]

I will make sure to find him in a weeks time, and record his reactions. [Shion smiled softly]

[Diarmuid laughs and waves a finger jokingly at Shion.]

Just make sure he never knows you did....and then share it with me.

Reno trained me, I am good at being stealthy.

Thankfully, he doesn't have to teach you common sense.

[Diarmuid winks jokingly at Shion.]

I'm not so sure Reno has enough of that to teach anyone anything about it.

He does. [His voice is a bit sharp, someone is over protective] He just forgets sometimes.

[Diarmuid holds up his hands defensively.]

Easy, Shion. I was only joking. No insult was intended at all. He is my brother and I would never say something to hurt him.

I know... I'm sorry. [He looked sorry] I should go and find Xion... but I hope you enjoy the rest of the party.

It's okay.

[Diarmuid steps forward wishing to give Shion another hug before he goes.]

Tell her hi for me, okay? Just in case I am too busy to keeping your father alive to do it myself?

I will [He returned the hug and smiled again] Try and enjoy yourself, the party is for you after all.

[Diarmuid nods and then steps back from the hug.]

I will do my best. Thank you again for all that you have done. I hope you have some fun as well. The party might be specifically for me and Waver, but we want everyone else to enjoy themselves too.

[He looked around at the people, most of whom were laughing at Reno's antics] I think they are.
