007 ✽ Bubbles in the Wine

[giglio_madonna]

Who: Luce and practically anyone that's had CR with her
What: On another side of town, it's a different mafioso's birthday.
When: March 14, in the evening
Where:
Warnings: None planned

Since the start of the month, those who know her even faintly will find themselves contacted one way or another to let them know that they were invited to a birthday party on the 14th. There's no pressure, of course, and there's no need to bring gifts.

Luce finds that she'd be perfectly content just seeing all the people she hasn't been able to see for ages now.

Today is finally the day, and the location? The top floors of the exclusive hotel Sol, which is quite an impressive feat. When the invitees step inside, they'll see why. It's taken Luce constant persuading for this for months now, inbetween everything else she's had to do lately, but goodness knows if she isn't willful. On various tables that are kept carefully restocked, one can find various rice and lamb dishes, plus plenty of piping hot bread including some that's stuffed with all manner of delicious things. Fortunately for Luce's continued existence, she didn't make all of it.

...Besides the cookies. Those she made. And the cake? That'll come later, of course.

There's more than just food and conversation, however. Everyone who comes in will be invited to participate in a little game. Somewhere hidden in the party are various small golden eggs. If you bring one to Luce, you get a prize of some sort. Feel free to note that "bring" is the key word and not necessarily "find". Take that as you will.

Well, he's very handsome, prone to not wearing shirts with sleeves, has silver hair and the brightest blue eyes, as if they glow! He works for a sandwich delivery place, I can give you the restaurant's number, if you want?

[giglio_madonna]

A sandwich delivery place, hm? Serena, you wouldn't be trying to get me to eat at every food place your family works at, would you?

[lightthedarkness]

[She laughed.] Well, there's only two. Nora and Alex work at an art store and limo chauffeur respectively. The food is really good though if you ever want a sandwich. Ricky will bring some home from work sometimes.

[giglio_madonna]

An art store? [That sounds familiar..] Would she be slight young woman, with pale hair?

[lightthedarkness]

Ah! YES! Yes that's her! You met Nora? She's my baby cousin, isn't she just the sweetest? [Odd, Nora never mentioned meeting Luce. Maybe she didn't know though.]

[giglio_madonna]

Ha, I'm afraid I only managed to talk to her for a few moments! She was very helpful. Is she an artist, or just working at the store to pay the bills?

[She'd seemed knowledgeable enough by Luce's standards, but then, she wasn't an artist.]

[lightthedarkness]

She's both, she loves to draw and paint, someday she could change the world with her art, I bet. [She grinned, even if Namine wasn't actually her relative, Usagi wanted her to achieve everything she strove for and then-some.]

But I'm glad, she's a bit shy, though she's never been rude.

[giglio_madonna]

Well, some people are just like that. I don't think it's a bad thing at all, although I'm glad she has such a sweet person like you in her family. I bet she's not lonely with you around.

[lightthedarkness]

I certainly try to make sure she isn't. [Usagi did notice that Namine always seemed surprise by her physical affection.] Ah but, don't worry about us! This day is about you!

[giglio_madonna]

I'll stop fussing when my time has come. [Luce laughs.] Shall I leave you to enjoy yourself and talk up others, then? I want you to enjoy the party, after all.

[lightthedarkness]

Ah, well, I promise to come back and check on you, then you can fuss about me and my loved ones a bit more. [She laughed.]
