[OOC] Oh, yes. That was some 21-er. I'll leave most of it to your imagination... but suffice to say I drank a
lot of random drinks, and tortured innocent bystanders with drunken karaoke
Don't worry about the post overlap... I'll deal.[/OOC]
*Van is in the process of receiving her birthday gifts...*
"Ah, but this hairspray is actually a hot butter repellant." BiShou laughs.
*The slightest hint of a cringe can be detected on Van's face as he mentions the detested substance... but after considering it for a moment, she concludes that this repellent may come in handy. She carefully stows it away in hammerspace for safekeeping. Next, BiShous hands her the envelope. Her eyes widen as she opens it and surveys the contents.*
"I own Cheers? Wow... and with a rift right to the pool room, I can play anytime. Right on! Thank you!" Van grins and hugs BiShou. "It's great to see you again by the way."
*Van turns back to the LovelyAngel with a smile on her face. It feels incredibly good to be in the presence of the other woman once again*
"Gosh, it's good to see you, Van!"
"You too, it's been far too long."
"And you seem... well... stronger somehow. I'll bet you've been in some interesting battles -- inner or external, I can't say." the LovelyAngel ponders.
"I do feel stronger. My mentor has been rather strict about getting better control of my abilities. And the battles have been coming with greater frequency as of late... both internal and external. Or if I'm real lucky... both at the same time." A slight smirk crosses her face as Van runs a hand through her hair in a habitual gesture. "With power comes responsibitity, or something like that."
"I'll be interested to hear your tales sometime."
"Of course, I'd venture to say that you have one or two for me as well."
*Van opens the gift from LovelyAngel*
"Oh! It's beautiful! Thank you, Angel! And this design... it's amazingly accurate, incredible." Van briefly holds the silver chalice up next to the tattoo on her arm to compare designs.
*After LovelyAngel demonstrates chalice's abilities... Van expediently fills it with b33r from her keg. She takes a sip and sighs in contentment.*
"Thank you, it perfect." Van proclaims.
"Jesus H Christ, finally."
*She quickly turns toward the direction of the familiar voice. After spotting VandalHeart, Van's face breaks into a smile. She closes the distance between them and throws her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly.*
"I missed you too 'Heart." she laughs. "Sorry for disappearing on you like that... duty calls, you know how it can be."
"Alright you who does not seem to show up anymore, hehe, this one's for you. And come on, you didn't honestly think we'd forget your birthday, did ya? Now open it."
*After tearing into the package... Van examines the ancient celtic dagger closely. Clearly, she's intrigued by the mystery that the blade presents. Also, there's something vaguely familiar about it that she can't quite place. *
"This is extraordinary... maybe I can ask Siobahn if she can translate markings. Thank you 'Heart.... I love it." She meets his gaze and smiles.
