( 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. )

[ Sorry to Angela for everyone ganging up on her because by the look that Yesod gives her, he has quite a bit that he could say on this topic. But he'll keep it brief. ]

That isn't the case.

( she swears to the wings-- )

No? Then what's your take on this, Yesod. Please, I'm sure we're all very interested in hearing your thoughts.

( her voice is level as ever but her gaze is ice. speak wisely. )

[ Admittedly, he has some complicated feelings now, having behaved inappropriately by his standards, as well as falling short of what he had set out to accomplish that day — at least in his view — but all of that is contained inside its own box, shelved out of the way. He meets Angela's frosty stare evenly. ]

As I said to Netzach, I consider it a matter of individual choice. Any of us can choose to ascribe meaning to our birthdays even now, not necessarily to mark the passage of time.

[ As for the well-wishes... ]

And acknowledging someone's birthday is commonly regarded as a thoughtful gesture.

( They can decide, huh. That goes for her too then, she supposes? ... )

You can regard it however you want. As I told Gebura, I just felt like saying something. I wasn't being thoughtful.

[ Angela is only excluded if she decides that his proposed approach doesn't apply to her, he thinks. That choice is hers to make, too. ]

Even so, some good came of your acting on that whim, Angela.

[worldexecute]

( For who? She isn't feeling that good right now— )

Did you all meet up and have a merry little time or whatever? How nice.

[wordchain]

No. Describing it as that would be inaccurate.

[ Yesod shakes his head, arms crossed. After a pause, in which he thinks back to the conversation then: ]

Rather, it was an opportunity to reflect on a few matters. It's unlikely that we would have taken the time otherwise.

[worldexecute]

( ... )

You're welcome.

( She Guesses? )

[wordchain]

Yes, I do think that we all appreciate it.

[ And he makes no attempt to hide a smile, small but unmistakably there, even if it might be perceived as condescension. ]
