imeeji_frontstage | graduation x2!

Who: Tequila Sunrise, Cypress, BARiTONES, LiliS, invited CR
Where: Heaven Graduates Visitation Center: Mitsukoshi Ginza
When: post all the trauma aftermath (day 397? 398?)

[ LiliS, BARiTONES, and invited guests are directed to the 9th floor terrace of Mitsukoshi Ginza, which has been decked out in a modestly fancy party. Most notably, though the sun is out, the balcony has a dome-like roofing of vines and leaves, little ambient lights and flowers hanging from above. The balcony's gardens are decorated with a few green-and-claret reflective streamers, and there's lace tablecloth for every table, but other than that, it's rather humble, with naught more than a "CONGRATULATIONS" sign hanging over the graduation door that sits in the far back of the balcony for Sunny and Cypress to leave when they're ready. There's no red carpet, no microphone, and the music that plays is a soft piano melody.

Though the venue is humble, the menu is not—the variety is strong, ranging from Japanese to Mediterranean to American to Italian, and it's all easily restaurant-quality. The menu's strongest point is easily the desserts, both in variety and quality—and LiliS might notice that the menu and flavor profiling tends to skew to their preferences. The food might even taste familiar. ]

Congratulations. I'm here to pick you up.

[Just because it's summer doesn't mean hoodies and backpacks are out of fashion, probably. That's what Izanagi's got on for now anyway.

Definitely looking a little harried, like he was in a rush, but he does brighten when he actually spots Chrys.]

They're letting Heaven grads attend these too, huh?

Even though you've graduated, you're being put to work.

Gotta say-- I definitely like graduations more than transfers.

It's... certainly better closure, I suppose.

[ weh

mostly just... looks a little anxious and overwhelmed and awkward about it all. ]

Well. Here we are, then.

It's a lovely party.

[I'm sorry I had to talk to the boyfriend first

but also he's got a hoodie and a backpack on despite the fact that it is summer. It's fine. He also looks a bit rushed but. It's fine!]

It's finally your day, is it?

[Hey, you've got another friend stopping by! He's hanging out, maybe checking out the food.]

[ tiny finger salute ]

Yo.

runawayprince - 2021-08-24 02:41 (UTC) - Expand

[ !! ]

Ah, Sorrel...? You came to visit?

[Oh. Giving a short wave - he's in a hoodie for some reason? Even though it's summer???

Don't worry about it.]

[and sunny is idly picking at a plate of food]

Finally, some peace.

Oh, my . . .

[ with a smile ]

Congratulations on your graduation. I'd have liked to have more time to get to know you, though. . .

Enjoy it while you can.

[Why does this sound vaguely like a threat. Also why is Izanagi wearing a hoodie in the summer. Mysteries upon mysteries.]

Even Sunbun's leaving...

With much more to come, I'm sure?

Not yet, dude. You got like thirty more minutes of putting up with us.

[Angel is somewhere nearby, if you look, she seems to be pacing back and forth, as if deciding whether to approach or not.

It is anxiety-inducing to watch tbh. She does seem to have a Horrifically badly wrapped up gift in her hand though.]
