Reaper Mingle is go!

[death_glare]

Who: William T. Spears and any reapers of the far shore
When: Evening of August 16th
Where: The temple of Baron Samdi (Ronald Knox)
What: William calls an emergency meeting for any and all reapers. There is something they all need to be aware of. (And because it's being held at Ronnie's temple, you can expect it to devolve into more of a mixer once William stops preaching.)


Part 1 - The Announcement

[ The following is a text that appeared on the BBS late last evening, shortly after the training session wrapped up. It is addressed to those on the far shore who were reapers in their home worlds, however, the only one who is blocked from viewing it is William's shinki, Hannah Annafellows. ]

I am calling to attention anyone who holds the position of a Reaper, Death God, Shinigami, or other related title. Good evening. My name is William T. Spears. I believe I met many of you this afternoon during the training session at Bishamon's temple. However, regardless of whether we met, this announcement is still directed towards you.

There is a matter of utmost importance that I feel all of you need to be made aware of. I have arranged a meet up at Ronald Knox's temple so that we can discuss the issue and come up with potential solutions. Please arrive to the temple of Baron Samdi by 7 p.m. so that we can make the most of our time. Thank you.


Part 2 - The Meeting

[ William finally stands up in front of where everyone's busy chitchatting. He's clearing his throat, attempting to get their attention and already looking pretty peeved. And it's not even because of the topic he needs to discuss, or the fact that it's well past 7:45 and they haven't even begun yet. Nope, the main reason for the crease in his brow is because of the absurd jacket he was forced to wear this evening. Not his usual black dress coat, but a lovely gold sequined one that nearly makes him glow in the brightly lit room. He has no idea how the eyesore of a garment found its way into his possession, once more, but he wouldn't be wearing it if he didn't have a good reason to. ]

Everyone. If you could all please have a seat. We are already behind schedule.


Part 3 - The Mixer

[ Now that William's concerns have been made aware, it seems that the event has evolved into more of a reaper shindig. Ronald has set up appetizers and has plenty of booze available. It's almost as if he'd planned this from the beginning. ]


(( ooc: mingle mingle mingle! Feel free to tag and threadjack around! Discuss the issue at hand or ignore William and just build cr with your fellow reapers! Party crashers are always welcome, too! ))

whoops non-reaper here

[deniles]

[You can blame Ron for this. He's almost like Ron's date, if Ron's date wasn't dating him at all.

He's just here to cause trouble. And trouble he will cause.

Because he's brought a big bag full of different kinds of booze. Wine, beer, vodka, sake, bourbon, gin, and scotch. And he lines it all up with ice and glasses while whistling.

If you don't recognize him, he wasn't at all at any of the meetings. After all, what fun would it be if he couldn't just show up at the last minute.]

[death_glare]

[ William is 100% positive this guy wasn't here before. And so he makes no hesitation to walk up to him and inquire about wtf he's doing here. ]

Did Knox hire you to bring all of this?

[deniles]

He doesn't have to hire me at all to do anything.

[He smirks, and looks towards him.]

All get togethers are better with booze.

[death_glare]

This was an urgent meeting for the heaven's Death Gods. Should I assume you are one, then?

[ Cause if so, you're late. ]

[deniles]

Oh, no. I simply just make people wish for death by my existence.

[He's also never late, he says with a smirk.]

I'm a shinki anyways.

[death_glare]

[ Just frowning at you because what?? ]

And that is something you are proud of, I take it.

[deniles]

I most certainly am. It's quite enjoyable being the thing people fear most.

[Takes a step closer.]

But also someone that people enjoy.

[genkireaper]

[ Oh, that sounds like the perfect moment to make a grab for one of the beers.

She met this guy yesterday- most definitely not a reaper, but more than welcome right now. ]

I think we've finished the business portion of this get-together.

[ Will. ]

You've got superb timing!

[deniles]

I always appreciate the compliments.

[He chuckles, putting out another beer from the bag. Hey, he brought extras.]

[genkireaper]

Trust me, we could all use a little relaxation.

[ What's being underage anyways? She'll gladly go into that can. ]

[deniles]

With this place, we need more than a little.

[Hey, he's not checking IDs. Are there any laws in this place?]

[untodeath]

Well, hello.

[ All of those shiny bottles do well to catch a girl's attention! Of course, another boy to meet might be within her interest, as well.

Turning to lean back against the table, Grell drapes her arms over her middle, quirking one of those upturned brows. ]

I didn't anticipate this meeting to come with bar service. Ronald's idea, I take it?

[deniles]

My own personal idea.

[He whistles as he continues to put out bottles. Also he's flattered.]

Especially from what I heard, you all needed this.

[diehardreaper]

Niles! Glad you made it!

[ And he brought the booze~ excellent. Spiced rum can lose its novelty when it's all you have. But one arm gets slung over the other's shoulders. ]

The shadows can take care of the rest. If anyone asks, you're with me.

[deniles]

I wouldn't miss a good time for the world.

[Even if he has to, in turn, make a good time 'better'.]

Good. We haven't had a drink together in what feels like too long.

[diehardreaper]

Came just in time for the good time, mind.

[ Not so much a good time earlier. Drinks were more than needed just to take the edge off. ]

Anything new or did you want a dekko into the Baron's larder? I've more'n enough of the spiced rum he fancies if you're in the mood.

[deniles]

Oh, how I wish. I've been here for a while.

[And he heard a lot. A lot.]

I'd be more than happy to have some spiced rum. So long as you promise to stay and chat.

[diehardreaper]

S'that right? Wager you heard the bulk of the matter then.

[ He doesn't look too serious though, managing a grin back. ]

Course m'staying! Noel'n Kuroyuki can take care of the hosting.

[ And the five million shadows, one of which he's beckoning over. ]

Couple of glasses'n the good shit. The stuff I set aside in the larder.

[ Off it floats... ]

[deniles]

I heard it. And that's more than enough for me.

[Let's not discuss it, though. Sounds like a waste of time.]

...You've got quite the collection here.

[So many shadows. He smirks at that. Might be nice for Leo's temple, if they can figure it out.]

You know... never been here before. Show me your best hiding spots.

Re: whoops non-reaper here

[lookingforhead]

[If Niles is showing up late that means he's just in time to see a headless woman among the crowd 'talking' with the other reapers in attendance.

She notices his entrance after a moment or two, her shoulders hitching slightly as she recognizes him.]

[deniles]

[Niles looks towards her with a giant smirk on his face, and a shrug of his shoulders.]

Well well.

[He chuckled. Saying nothing else but looking right at her.

What will she do?]

[lookingforhead]

[The sly comment gets a soft flinch out of her, and a dark puff of her shadows streams upward making the room slightly darker for a moment. She doesn't run and she's not scared of him, but somehow this feels like he's catching her in a compromising moment, like he walked in on her in the shower.

Besides, he's too far away to hold her phone out to him and walking over to him would seem like she has something to prove.]

[deniles]

[Oh well then. He's become extremely intrigued now. He moves towards her and tilts his head.]

So... what was that?

[lookingforhead]

[She's a pretty fast draw with her phone, and a fast typist, so soon he gets a hand being waved while the other holds it out a bit askance.]

Notghing! Just a bit surprised to see you hear is all.

[deniles]

[He blinks for a moment. Wow, that was fast. Of course, not exactly the best spelling. And that's from someone who recently learned how to use a computer.]

Just surprised? That seems like an excessive reaction to being just surprised.
