IT'S A CELEBRATION! [Backdated to the night after the mission "Gain Over"]

[zetahatsudo]

[Kamille was feeling fantastic today. Yes, the Chalice's standing with the feds dropped even further thanks to the fucking terrorist, but that was a drop in the water compared to what he was really excited about: The return of Cynthia Lane and Gainer Sanga from the clutches of the OverDevil. For once, he felt like things were going his way, and he intended to express this in a creative fashion.]

[When the Cafeteria is finally open again, it's decked out in full party mode, the bluenett Newtype pulling out all the stops in creating enough food to fuel the occasion. A rather obvious, if somewhat plain, banner hangs from the ceiling]

"WELCOME BACK, CYNTHIA AND GAINER"

[In all of this, Kamille finds himself lying on a bench that he dragged to a corner, the high of success finally washing over him as fatigue set in. Soul-crushing, Death-warmed-over, Why-am-I-still-awake fatigue.]

[Locked to anti-dummy plug group]

[While the festivities are in full swing, Kamille has sent you a message to meet him back in the same empty storage unit they met in last time. He has apparently already slipped out of the party himself at this point, using the excuse of finally turning in for the evening to get away while everyone was distracted. What could he want?]

[OOC: This is a mingle post to celebrate the return of Gainer and Cynthia. Kamille put a lot of effort into making this happen (which may or may not have involved dragging unwilling victims finding volunteers to help him do it), so you might have to seek him out to harass him for pushing himself too hard. AGAIN.]

Cynthia's sat down on the bench next to you, with a pair of pudding cups in her hands. She sets one down in front of Kamille's face and rests a hand on his shoulder.

And shakes him. Roughly, until he opens his eyes.

"Oi, Newtype-boy! This isn't a bed. Also, you're missing the party! C'mon, I brought you a pick me up!"

[zetahatsudo]

"Hu-wha?" Kamille blinks as he sees the cup set in front of him. Oh. "Ah, right." He grabs the cup, and splashes the contents onto his face. "Sorry about that, Rubber-girl. Enjoying your little welcome home bash?"

[gamerqueen]

And Cynthia giggles as she watches Kamille coat his face with pudding.

"You went to all this trouble for me n Game Champ? Really, you work yourself too hard!"

[zetahatsudo]

Kamille scoffs in a joking fashion. "I resemble that remark." He wipes some pudding from his face. "And besides, I felt you deserved it after being shoved in that thing."

[gamerqueen]

"Bleh, don't remind me." Cynthia shifts uncomfortably, shivering. "All I remember is feeling unbearably cold..."

"At any rate...you said you had some things to talk to me about in private, right? You want to get some rest and meet me in your room later to discuss?"

[zetahatsudo]

"Ah, meeting you later would be ideal. But before we decide on the location, I first need to have a discussion with a few colleagues. Mostly repair related," For a given take on the word repair, "but if all goes well, I should be able to talk with you afterwards. Sound good?"

[gamerqueen]

You went and trashed the Zeta again, didn't you? Ah well, whatever, sure, talk to me later about it then! You know where to find me.

Always punctual, the good doctor arrived right on time, giving Kamille a weak smile. She was still smarting from Kensuke's harsh words, though she'd told herself they were only because he was stressed out over Cynthia's rescue.

BACKTAGGING

[zetahatsudo]

"Ah, good, you've made it. Now we just wait for Mira and Lowe." Kamille seems absolutely exhausted, so it seems like his excuse had some merit. "Having Cynthia back is a happy occasion, wouldn't you say?"
