[closed-ish]

[swordboning]

Who: Archer (swordboning), Saber (invisibleair), Rin (codere) and everyone that was invited!
When: November 11th (RIGHT NOW) ~4PM
Where: The Tohsaka Apartment
What: PARTY TIME. Well, a party so Rin can actually make friends since she secretly complains about not having any!
Rating/Warning: nupe

[Cooking for a large amount of people is what Archer was all about. Might as well call him the Chef Heroic Spirit instead of the Blacksmith Heroic Spirit. This guy was a complete pro in the kitchen and completely without complaint!

Tons of food, cake, and nachos and cheese and salsa (don't ask). Serving it was left up to Saber since she was still probably under punishment. Either way, she had to make up for her issues in some way!

So for everyone here, they just had to chill out and wait for Rin to return home. Which should be shortly if she's not trying to be an absolute brat. Which, admittedly, happens sometimes.]

[Introduce yourself to Rin so she doesn't run away in fright.

The Rin is skittish when outside her natural environment.]

[ Ryuko can be found near all the free food, not really into the whole "socializing with a large group of people" thing. Not that she's unapproachable by any means, she just prefers isolated one-on-one chats. Of course with some of the faces she can see around the room, Senketsu fears that sparks will inevitably fly tonight. ]

[Ai Thao Kha appears at the apartment, neatly dressed. She's feeling jittery, but also strangely filled with something that could be called anticipation. Ever since Archer gave her the invitation, she went over what she could say to other people she would meet at the party, conversing in a way that wouldn't make her trip over her own words.

She's probably making this too big of a deal, but to her, an event where she isn't being carefully watched and curated by other espers is new and no less nerve wrecking. Ai hopes she'll be able to make the most of this gathering.

... Right now she resorts to eating cake. Because cake can give one courage when all else fails.]

... Goodness. For someone who speaks harshly, his cooking is really good...

[swordboning]

[Fighting isn't much people should have to worry about. Saber and Archer together would stop any troublemakers, including Rin. Who could cause a lot of trouble.

Either way, once everything was done, Archer wasn't one to mingle either. Instead, he worked to clean up, wearing an apron. Yeah, red cloak, black armor, and an apron over top. Truly, he is the worlds best housewife and he reached around Ryuko to grab some stray cups.]

[swordboning]

What a backhanded compliment. I would think honesty is a wanted quality in a world full of fake smiles.

[That's how he sees himself anyway. Don't say that around the apron wearing guy who is hovering near the food, cleaning up any stray mess!!]

[INWARDLY SHE SILENTLY YELLS FEELING AWFUL FOR BEING BACKHANDED HOW COULD SHE, SHE'S BETTER THAN THIS.]

[emotive]

[... Okay, for real, she feels bad and it somewhat shows, but only mildly.]

It's very delicious nonetheless! This couldn't have been easy to do all by yourself!

[dishonorstudent]

[ He can reach around all he wants, she's not making any effort to move out of his way. ]

Takin' your role a little too seriously, aren't you, magic slave man?

[swordboning]

Something like this is simple. Once you start working, you don't notice the time passing by.

[This is Archer we're talking about. The one true housewife. Yep, it was pretty easy for him.]

[swordboning]

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean. I approach all tasks I undertake with equal seriousness.

[Especially things like this. He has a reputation to keep. And it has to be better than Shirou's, that's for sure. For everything else? Eh, once he starts something, he enters it intending on winning, no matter what.]

[dishonorstudent]

[ She hates to admit it, but this girl's assessment of the cake is correct. It's... too good. ]

So harshly? [ She chomps on some more. ] Did he say something to ya, too?

[dishonorstudent]

I mean look around, this is practically a kids party, lighten up. Or does little master girl hand out punishments, too?

[invisibleair]

[ Saber is here of course, since she lives here and is Rin's Servant. One of them anyway. She's also wearing a dress from her work, per Archer's instruction to make herself look presentable. It's just something her coworkers told her she would look best in.

So have an awkwardly shy Saber going about the party, asking if anyone needs a drink or food. She's not the best at small talk or anything, and it is Rin's party, so she might just find herself in the kitchen or off to the side of the party. ]

[emotive]

Did you cook for others a lot before you became a spirit then??

[swordboning]

Not usually. But I don't see what's so kiddy about it unless you're making a statement about your preferred choices.

[Let no one say he still couldn't be a jerkbag while wearing an apron. No shame at all.]

[emotive]

[Ai's going in for a second slice and smiles apologetically at Ryuko.]

To be fair, it's not as if I haven't displayed some sort of foolishness, so I might have deserved it...

But you know, he must be the kind of person whose words and actions don't always match up.

[dishonorstudent]

Huh? What's that supposed to mean?

[swordboning]

I'd rather not answer that question.

[It hints too much at his real identity! Especially with idiot Shirou be around somewhere.]

[dishonorstudent]

Words and actions don't match up...? [ That certainly casts her mind back to her own world for a moment, before snapping out of it again. ]

--What do you mean you deserved it? Just for being foolish? What a load of nonsense.

[swordboning]

I really don't think you need it spelled out for you. You seem intelligent enough.

[swordboning]

Saber...

...for someone who is light on her feet in battle, you could certainly move a little more gracefully now.

[AKA: Don't spill anything, King of Dorks.]

[emotive]

[She's not sure why, but that makes her smile as he doesn't confirm or deny her question.]

I don't think all this work would have gotten this good without some prior experience. Either way, I'm happy to take part in it.

[It's not a dumb thank you, it works]

[emotive]

[Ai's a little hard on herself as anyone can tell. She knows her attitude and behavior can be grating towards certain people.

Not that she's sure how to tell this new person, but she doesn't have to mull over it too much.]

It's fine! We've passed that point. I'm here after all, aren't I?

Um... I'm Ai Thao! May I have your name?

[dishonorstudent]

My, my, flattery won't get you anywhere after that assertion about my preferences. I was simply givin' you a chance to backpedal before this PG party possibly turns into something more R.

[dishonorstudent]

[ It's not grating to Ryuko, at least. She associates with lovable idiots on a daily basis and would hate it if they felt the same way as this stranger. ]

Ryuko Matoi, and you don't seem that foolish to me. [ Then again, they did just meet. ] So if that guy starts spoutin' nonsense at either of us, I'm gonna deck him.
