graduation x3!

[idolpro]

Who: Cobalt, Thorn, Senpai, and anyone else who would like to attend
Where: Mitsukoshi Ginza (Heaven Graduates Visitation Center), 9th floor terrace
When: Day 400, later evening

[ Today, the garden terrace of the Heaven Graduates Visitation Center has been transformed.

The lawn has been replaced with overflowing riots of colorful blossoms, like a wildflower meadow. It’s composed primarily of blue cornflowers, red crocosmia, and teal roses with extra-long thorns, all mixed together with a wide variety of sunflowers. In the center is a little patch of grass with picnic blankets spread out, just large enough to accommodate everyone.

Nearby, on the patio, is a long, rectangular grill the length of a picnic table, where anyone can grill their own snacks, Korean BBQ style. A nearby table is piled with all manners of meats and veggies, sliced into easily-grilled strips or already speared into kabobs, ready for the fire. Here you can find such delicacies as behemoth tenderloin, garula steak, gighee ham, and even marlboro tentacle (delicious!).

There is also alcohol. Lots of alcohol. Good alcohol.

The sun is well on its way to setting, leaving the sky a beautiful gradient of blue-pink-orange-yellow; the light is warm and blanketing—the light hits everything at just the right angle to give everything metallic a pleasant glow. A gentle breeze occasionally blows to keep the terrace on the cooler side.

At the far end, there's a carpet of flowers in Cobalt's, Senpai's, and Thorn's unit colors, directing the three of them to their respective graduation doors once they've finished saying their goodbyes. ]

Absolutely Not let's go get some drinks!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That's the spirit. Let's not leak any emotions until you've had at least three shots of the good stuff.

[we_meet_again]

Wow, you have so much faith in me!

[Leading him over to the drinks, completely abandoning the thing on the grill, rip]

I want to hear all about how you're doing, though! Are you, King, and Man Eater all still together? Did you find Mokuba? What kind of stuff are you working on?

I wanna hear all the deets!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I can't talk about work here, but know that you will be briefed once you walk through that door.

I'm going to become a lot more accessible to you in a few short hours. Are you sure this is what you want to talk about?

[we_meet_again]

[pouring whiskey into some glasses for them]

Yeah?

I've been thinking about you guys nonstop since you left, wondering how you're all doing. It's almost as if I care about you all and miss you or something.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then come crash at our place until you get settled in. See for yourself.

[✨✨✨✨!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

Really? Could I??

[He offers Intensity a glass of whiskey]

[we_meet_again]

—Ah, but I don't want to abandon Lumen and Senpai. We're all going to the same place, after all.

Maybe once we're settled, I could drop by, instead? I'd really love to catch up with you all!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Fucking Senpai... ]

Do either of them have bad blood with King or Man Eater?

[we_meet_again]

[his past deeds haunt us all...]

Not that I know of. I can ask, though.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then you're all welcome to stay or wait until you get settled. The place isn't that much different since we were all sent there for maintenance.

[we_meet_again]

Thank you so much! I'll definitely take you up on it one way or another. I've missed you both entirely too much to turn down an opportunity to get all up in your faces for a few days.

Where are you guys staying these days? The Vengeance side? Somewhere else...?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Cobalt, NDA.

[And handing him a glass of whiskey with twice the amount.]

All that can be saved for off camera.

Let's get you nice and drunk and all of those feelings out. Better out than in - didn't you say something along those lines?

[he's excited to see u ok]

[he takes the whiskey though.]

I don't remember, but it sounds like something I would say.

[we_meet_again]

....





Was it this hard when you were leaving, too?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Are we talking about hard as in saying farewells to people you're not ready to?

Or difficult as in someone also tried to shank you when you told them you were graduating?

[we_meet_again]

Uh.

I guess... whichever one of those happened to you???

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Both. But if someone tried to shank you, then I'm going to shank them immediately.
