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 made him promise not to kill you or Reno at least until tomorrow.

[He looks back at his brother.]

Sorry, it was the best I could do. It might not be a bad idea for you to find a good hiding spot while you can...

What about behind you? He's not gonna touch his newlywed groom, is he?

Bride...

[Diarmuid chuckles softly before turning to give his brother a comforting hug.]

Just relax. You know he won't do anything really bad. However, don't be surprised if he does eventually pull some kind of prank or trick on you. You asked for it.

[He tries to imagine his brother in a dress and ends up laughing instead.]

Guess I have to be on alert now. I'm not even gonna be safe in my own room, am I?

I would like to say you will be, but it's Waver and you know Waver.

[Diarmuid shrugs, though he does raise an eyebrow at that laugh even if he doesn't ask about it.]

And I will be the very last person he tells anything to. You are sadly, on your own.

Aw man.

...Maybe I could stay in Asagi's room, then.

[Diarmuid blinks in surprise for a moment before grinning.]

That is actually not a bad idea. Maybe you can even find time to visit the hotel again.

[No, he doesn't want details, but he can't help teasing...]

I could, but I don't wanna risk running into you and Waver.

[He has a mischievous grin on his face.]

W-what?

[Diarmuid's face suddenly turns bright red.]

That is the last place we would be! We have no reason to go there!

[He snickers and nudges his brother.]

Not even for a honeymoon? It's quite a romantic spot.

[Diarmuid huffs, crossing his arms over his chest.]

His idea of a 'honeymoon' is going to be spending the whole night in the Laboratory doing research.

[He pats his brother on the head.]

I'd try persuading him to be more romantic, but I think I've used up my luck already when it comes to him...

[He swats lightly at his brother's hand.]

Please don't. I know you mean well, but I don't mind. I like him like he is, romantic or not.

[He shrugs.]

Then I'll listen to you on that.

Thank you.

[There is relief in Diarmuid's smile.]

I wonder if I should talk to him and see if I can't get him to relax a little. Just a little. You two did mean well, but...he's really being Waver right now. I don't know even if I am safe...

You could always try smooching him until he relaxes. Or you can...

[A nervous gulp.]

...agree to help him...get Reno and me back.

[Diarmuid shakes his head.]

No, I am staying out of any revenge plans. Besides, I don't think he would accept offers of help from me anyway.

The other thing...I'm working on.

Let's hope you make quick progress on that, huh? And in the meanwhile, let's get some more food.

He's a surprisingly quick study when properly motivated, but you didn't hear that from me.

[Diarmuid winks at his brother and then directs him toward the food.]

That's probably a good idea. The more we eat, the less Waver can throw at you and Reno...

Oh? I suppose you've been teaching him all your tricks then.

Have you tasted the cake yet? Shion made it, so you should try it.

[He picks up the cake knife and offers it to Diarmuid.]

I've taught him a few. He's become quite fond of the surprise kiss. I can't say that I mind.

[Diarmuid carefully takes the knife and cuts himself some of the cake.]

I haven't yet. I've been too busy offering it to others and making sure it's not thrown at too many people...

Do you want a piece too?

Sure, I'll take some.

[He holds up a place.]

Nobody aside from Waver is throwing cake, are they?

Not yet. Hopefully, it will stay that way.

[Diarmuid gives his brother the piece of cake he had cut for himself and then proceeds to cut another to put on his own plate.]

I really don't want people's hard work to be wasted.

[He picks up a bite of the cake with his fingers and pops it in his mouth.]

Me neither.

...He's not throwing anything other than cake, is he?

[Diarmuid peeks over at Waver as he takes a bite of his own cake. His expression is almost as if he expects Waver to be throwing something at this very moment.]

I don't know. Does siccing the maid on Reno count as throwing something?
