Thread: Kuoh Town

  1. #41
    Eira had taken her nephew as the Rook to complete her peerage, apparently while Takumi was unconscious. As odd as this could have been, he supposed there was nothing too strange about this occurrence. Takumi did find it weird, though, that she was able to acquire a servant who already belonged to another peerage. "That can happen?" he asked, though the answer was obviously before him. Sairevil, while embracing the woman he'd been living with for the past two weeks, responded in kind. "Yeah! Kings can switch pieces whenever they want; there's a ritual that switches what piece registers as part of what peerage. I was switched for the inactive Rook right after the game," he clarified.

    Now that Takumi had received this new knowledge, more things made sense to him. He had seen Sairevil in combat, and understood how he could be more balanced as an addition to Eira's peerage, than he likely would have been with the group of Sirtreize Lucifer. As Takumi inspected and gathered the things intended for his mother, others began to appear within the room. All in all, every female member of the peerage was upon them, with the addition of Sairevil. "Ohayou gozaimasu... minna," he said to the group. "Sumimasen. I didn't mean to make anyone worry."

    Eira was rewarded in the belief that her nephew would give her hugs, and found herself laughing at the excitement he showed in explaining how the exchange of pieces worked. "Well, that is true. It is fairly easily done..." Eira mentioned which made Maiko speak up. "Yeah, but Eira-sama apparently won't actually trade anyone unless they want to go~" she said understanding how their leader seemed to view them. "Or in Sairevil's case, she traded her inactive piece because he wanted to come and she wanted him along. The whole thing was crazy easy, but he's cool!" she said of Sairevil whom she'd face in combat and been hanging out with over the course of the last two weeks within Eira's apartment.

    As their conversation progressed, Takumi greeted all the ladies present and went on to apologize for making them worry. This caused a slight change in the face of all the young women present, except Eira who was more than a bit bemused in watching all of them. She leaned against Youmu knowing that young woman wouldn't move for a few seconds longer. "Taku-senpai it isn't like that, we were worried because you're one of us. Also we were excited for you, you won your fight and it was awesome, we only wanted to celebrate and stuff," said Miyuki who understood the boy's determination to be useful and knew that it would be good for him to celebrate. "Yeah, what Ryuume said, worrying a bit is normal. But it seems like you're all ready to celebrate and get back into it, and that's what's important," she commented seeming to enjoy it as an idea. Youmu had been silent and though she now had Eira leaning against her, she remembered an earlier conversation with this woman in which Eira mentioned she'd be leaving official Devil Orientation to her and Izuna. She decided she'd offer encouragement in her own way. "Besides, overcoming this obstacle is important for progress," the apathetic young woman mentioned. Worrying for a member of ones group was normal, and until the addition of Revil, Takumi had been the most recent addition, it was only natural the rest of the group would worry after him a bit and express a more than happy reaction of his waking. Beyond that all had demanded to know when the lad finally woke, which contributed to Eira's earlier message to them.

    "Sou ka," said Takumi. He supposed there was at least another male figure in the peerage now, rather than yet another girl sharing space with him. It seemed the others were more excited than anything, and for some reason, the majority of the room was content to start some sort of celebration. Though Takumi himself was ecstatic to be capable of pulling the sort of win he apparently did, celebration wasn't really a word he often applied to the afterglow of any positive situation he managed to undergo. "Arigatou, minnasan. I... don't think celebrations are for me, though. Gomen."

    Upon hearing this, Sairevil raised a curious brow. He personally knew the strength boasted by his father's Dragon servants; defeating even one of them was no easy feat. For one to emerge from a battle victorious against one of those Dragons - in their unrestrained form - was something that almost demanded celebration. "Even if you don't like to celebrate things, this is probably something that should be an exception."

    A frown crossed the faces of Maiko and Miyuki as both of them seemed opposed to the idea that Takumi didn't want to participate in a celebration. Still there was a silent glimmer of hope for this, as Sairevil pointed out that even if the boy didn't like celebrations normally he was almost obligated to see to this one if only because of the severity of his victory. Eira was quite relieved to have another mellow mind on hand, in the form of her nephew, as the additional male would likely have an easier time chatting with Takumi. His point was a valid one, but one additional voice would be heard and it would be Youmu. "We made Eira attend a full party with a dress code," she pointed out. "A bit of time in the game room and snacks with us isn't really worth trying to get out of..." Youmu finished up she still seemed apathetic but she'd seen the growth of all individuals present since they'd arrived. And it was her experience that when people needed less battle experience, they needed more personal experiences. "You-senpai is right, I also wasn't big on celebrating stuff at first..." Miyuki admitted, which made a small smile come to Eira's face as she remembered what Miyuki had been like a few months prior to this one. "But... it's good for team building, and social skills" she encouraged Takumi as well, figuring given their similarities he'd likely come to enjoy such things if he tried to experience them. "Naw, Yasukawa's just trying not to get beat... but that isn't happening. Ryuume's gonna kick all our asses in table tennis and then we're gonna get her back on air hockey!~" mentioned the still carrying on. Whatever Takumi decided he could be the only one to do so, given this Eira was surprisingly quiet during this interaction waiting to see what would come of everyone else. Doing this allowed her to do the thing she'd fully intended to do, take a back seat to Takumi's acclimation within her Peerage.

    Four of a total six people present seemed to be very adamant about this celebration taking place. In the end, not much choice was given to Takumi, lest he lead all the others into disappointment in missing this moment of fellowship. "I..." he murmured, just as sheepishly as ever. "I guess..." he continued. The boy seemed to be seeking a way to agree through his own misgivings. Since he was so obviously on this path, Sairevil leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed and a smile on his face. "Sounds like a deal to me. When's the party? I'm ready to try out some of these human games you guys have been talking about so much lately."

    Eira got to note first hand the sort of awkwardness that Takumi actually possessed in social situations. It was kind of stunning, but she supposed she'd gotten through to other equally antisocial people before. That being said, it would be those formerly antisocial people who were trying their hardest to include Takumi in their coming activities. Even, Youmu who while she seemed not to care at all, wanted everyone to know the sorts of feelings she couldn't possess. 'Minna!~ You guys are awesome~' Eira thought. Her Peerage as it was seemed to contain all sorts of fun personalities, and beyond that truly kind individuals which was about all she wanted in the first place. On to the matter of when the party was, Eira finally spoke up. "Well, I mean we technically set up the game room ages ago... and I am certain Youmu can take care of moving snacks and the like~" said Eira which made Youmu nod as she immediately glowed strangely and sank through the floor. Her nephew's excitement was also something worth noting. "The game room is down the staircase just past the kitchen if you're really excited to try it out. I am surprised you hadn't wandered down there already, Revil~" she chimed.

    "Yosh!! Setting up games!~ Don't be late for this ass-kicking, Yasukawa! You either, Gremory!" and just like that, Maiko disappeared from within the room. She'd been excited about this part for quite a while, and though she knew about the game room, she hadn't wanted to have this sort of fun while Takumi was out of commission. Miyuki felt much the same way and also headed out, giving an excited bow before disappearing. "No worries, Soccer Practice should be over pretty soon, and Izuna usually stops by after, and Hiro will be home soon too so the whole crew will be in... I'm going to leave a note for them so they know where to find us when they get here..." Eira mentioned as she left the room finally headed up the hallway in the proper direction towards the actual exit of her apartment. She'd grab a sheet of paper and compose a quick note for the other two males of her peerage while everyone else got started on the celebration. Something which she found surprisingly difficult given her current state of mind.

    "I've barely even been downstairs, honestly. You're making it sound like a great spot though, so..." Letting his sentence trail off, Sairevil slipped backwards through the doorway, until he was eventually able to traverse the halls freely on a path toward the game room. This left Takumi as the only male in the room, but the others were also starting to make their way out. Reluctantly, he also stepped out of the room. He couldn't say he was excited to go through with this, but he had already been talked into it, so he moved onward. Down the stairs he went, following the tracks of the others who'd taken this route to locate the destination of this celebratory get-together.

    When the first wave of people came upon the 'Game Room' as it was being called they would take note of the set up. It was as big as several living rooms with a title floor. Set up across the whole of it, were different kinds of games and arcade machines, pinball, air hockey, table tennis, Foosball, mini-basketball and skee-ball, even a pool table. Beyond all this there were several large TVs aligned against the walls which had different gaming consoles connected to them in front of large beanbag chairs and comfy couches. One end of the room even had a small stage set up with sing-a-long karaoke complete with microphone stands. it was sort of a haven for modern and retro fun to be had. The final wall had a long table set which was covered in various snack foods and drinks in literal dozens of varieties, including cakes, candies, desserts, finger-foods and anything else one might want. It was obvious the food was for this party they had in mind, but mostly this place had a relaxed atmosphere and was full of things for people to do, both alone and together. "Well go ahead," were the only words which came from Youmu, who was the sort to pick through foods as she tried to decide what it was she wished to do.

    "Sugei!~ Eira-sama redecorated again~" Maiko managed before she headed immediately for the table games, specifically air hockey. Meanwhile, Miyuki also came in and looked wide eyed. She too took note of some additional games and things added to the room for its general upkeep. She didn't know what any of these games even were, but she'd enjoy learning the new ones, only after table tennis. "Hm, I don't even know what most of these are for..." Miyuki mentioned seemingly stunned but following to the table games set up. While all of this happened, Eira managed to finally write the note for Hiroki and Izuna, which read simply. 'Everyone's partying in the game room, come down~' Even with this note finished she found herself staying upstairs a little while longer. Her situation presently was still very strange to her, and she found herself feeling a bit withdrawn, though she was happy with the progress of her group. Her face was still flushed and the world still didn't seem quite as stable as she remembered it being, the power she'd drained from Takumi left her a bit drunken and contemplative, which was likely not the best combination. 'I hope they manage to have some fun.'

    Soon enough, Takumi set foot in the game room where everyone else had gathered moments prior to his arrival. Upon stepping inside, he found an overall setup the likes of which one would expect of a small arcade, with all its versatility as well. The room was undoubtedly amazing... but Takumi could not share the excitement of the others. On the other hand, something else struck him. A blend of aromas entered his nasal cavity, and his eyes widened briefly while turning red once more. Almost subconsciously, he took steps toward the food spread, grabbing a plate from a stack on the edge. Numerous things were grabbed by the lad, including cakes, desserts, and bits of everything involving meat. In the end, Takumi held a plate with a pile of food bigger than the usual lump sum of his entire day's meals. He didn't bother finding a seat of any sort after filling his plate. Instead, he stood in place to begin eating with an appetite greater than what any human or Devil should have possessed, even after being without food for a month.

    Takumi instead of focusing on the games available, decided that he'd been long enough without food. The other person who'd focused on her meal first, Youmu was left to watch as the boy began devouring food at a rate even she took note of. She watched him eat, while eating her own choice of snacks slowly, "I've never seen that before..." she said finding this boy's eating habits to be strange. Then again, he'd been unconscious for quite a while so it did make sense if he was famished. The pausing of Youmu caused Maiko to look up at the mountain of food which Takumi devoured, leading to her, getting scored on in air hockey by Miyuki. "Yosh! Point for me..." she mumbled. Maiko didn't even have the heart to be upset at her loss as she was left to chuckle about this particular. "Damn, Eira-sama always said to eat everything but I don't think she meant all at once~" she said. "Still good on ya' Yasukawa~" she said before rolling her eyes at Miyuki who still seemed excited about her win.

    Eira after thinking about it way too long finally made her way downstairs. She walked dragging her left hand along the wall, as she took each step moment by moment the voices of her peerage members became clearer. Soon enough though, she saw what all the clamor was about, and it had to do with the giant plate of food being consumed by Takumi. Eira looked at this for several seconds and blinked in silence only to giggle. "Ufufufu~ Well, you'd be hungry too if you slept for two weeks~" and that was all. She'd then begin taking over several sweets from the table including one sublime slice of strawberry shortcake. Once she had all she wanted she went to settle into a giant beanbag, which was colored suspiciously similar to her throne from the club room. Once she was seated she sat happily eating.
