( closed ) i'm at the librarian meeting. i'm at the bowling alley party.

[worldexecute]

WHO: Miss Boss Lady & her employees (Angela, and Roland, Gebura, Netzach, Yesod)
WHAT: A fun and friendly work party........
WHERE: A bowling alley, just some regular one in District 2
WHEN: Early September (wiggles hands)
WARNINGS: Library of Ruina spoilers, probably.

( Angela technically put the onus on Roland to invite everyone bowling, mostly because she didn't think any of them would want to go with her—so he's probably responsible for gathering them all... but she's responsible for getting there early, despite also telling him "tell me when you go bowling". Her managerial talents just can't leave well enough alone—

Anyway, there's bowling (obviously), so go bowl. She's also been helpful and put out all available food on the counters and tables here, so go crazy. And... for drinks, there's the regular water and soda and such, but there's also several bottles of champagne and matching flutes for it.

She's also taken some CDs and a stereo from one of the shops around the city, so instead of just eerie silence or whatever, there's music. She just grabbed whatever she could find. Don't judge her.

... ... ... ... ...

Anyway, have fun. )

Comments

( Admittedly.

Angela had considered it. Business first, pleasure after. All's well that ends well, except considering the graveness of the topic (in her opinion) she hadn't wanted a sour mood to carry into everyone's fun relaxation time, so... sometime in the middle seemed to be okay... would it have been better at the end? But then they'd go home with worries on their mind... )

...I thought it would be better for everyone to relax and get comfortable first. ( It comes out a little stiff. She's kind of embarrassed to admit she was Considering Their Feelings but, uh, anyway. ) It's not as if these are particularly fun topics to discuss, so I just thought... It would be better if we had some fun before that.

( .................

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm will someone book her pl )

[gradenine]

Ehh? Now, ain't that considerate of her? About time our dear library director opens her eyes to what fun is all about.

[ he grins. this is the part where he'd fling an arm around angela's shoulders as a show of camaraderie but hahaha.... ha. ]

Come on, Geb. Don't tell me you're already bored of bowling. There's five of us now, ya know~

[worldexecute]

( angela, for the briefest of moments, reconsiders her words in that dimly lit hallway. the chilly look she graces roland with is a byproduct of that. )

Make fun of me again, Roland, and it will be the last time a single word leaves your mouth.

[bemist]

Yeah? So you and Angela against me and the boys?

[ Are you ready to eat shit, Roland-- ]

[worldexecute]

( HOLD ON )

Who said I'm joining?

[bemist]

I did.

[worldexecute]

( wh... mmmm...hmm.. )

...I'll join for one game, if it'll satisfy you. That's it.

[bemist]

Good enough. I won't even say anything when you want another round.

[gradenine]

Come on, that ain't fair. She doesn't even know how to bowl yet.

[worldexecute]

How hard can it be.

[bemist]

I think it's probably safe to say she's a fast learner.

[gradenine]

[ WELL... THEYRE BOTH RIGHT... ]

What's... What's the prize for winning, then?

[worldexecute]

( Is she allowed to suggest something... She is. Going to anyway. )

The losing side has to finish an entire bottle of champagne by themselves in one go... I believe at parties, that's where people cheer on participants with a hearty, "Chug! Chug! Chug!", is it not?

( is she saying this to encourage netzach to throw the game? no why would she ever do something so terrible and underhande )

The winning side will not suffer this embarrassment. I find negative stimuli helps people to do their best. ( so let's go roland............. let's win ! )

[abstractart]

You should relax a little too then, right...? You're part of 'everyone', if it's like that.

[angela, saying they should have some fun... she really is a little different, isn't she?

he doesn't mind it. maybe this is good for her.]

[worldexecute]

( no, she isn't part of everyone though... )

I am relaxed.






( she says, not relaxed at all. )

[abstractart]

Are you?

[she is so not relaxed.]

[worldexecute]

( she has been so relaxed all party and meeting what do you mean she's been so normal and relaxed watching everyone interact and just hovering in the background until it was time to start her bad news bears meeting-- )

I'll relax after we're done talking about all of this.


( she will be back to observing everyone after the meeting, is what she means. )

[abstractart]

At least have a drink or two. It'll help.

[trust him, he is an expert on the subject.]

[worldexecute]

( sorry she only gets drunk with nice older men she doesn't have a personal relationship with, netz. )

I will consider it. ( no she won't



of course she'll have to if her and roland lose in bowling but haha anyway-- )

[bemist]

...

[ Gebura just stares at her for a long moment and then huffs a noise that is maybe a laugh or maybe just a semi-amused sigh. It's hard to say. ]

I'm not saying it was the wrong choice. I just didn't really expect you to make it. That's surprisingly considerate.

[worldexecute]

( Will you all stop it....... see if she's ever nice again. Miss Angela who doesn't know everyone knows she wishes Netzach a happy birthday. )

Roland just said we should all try to get along now. That's the only reason I agreed to bowling, and why I thought it'd be a good idea to be... considerate. As you call it.

( chucks him under the fucking bus )

[bemist]

Ah, I see. Nothing to do with you trying to get along with us? All Roland's fault?

[ YEAH SHE KNOWS ABOUT THE BIRTHDAY, ANGELA!!! ]

[worldexecute]

Precisely. Has anything happened to lead you to believe I'd like to get along with the rest of you? While I admit it'll make our time easier here, it isn't going to matter once we're back in the City.

( yeah, it really won't. )

[wordchain]

[ There is a growing list that hasn't been expunged... Yesod isn't planning to interject with comments on that right now, but he is observing this exchange, too. ]

[bemist]

...

Yeah. Netzach mentioned you went out of your way to wish him a Happy Birthday.

[ She's just fine calling Angela out. ]
