Welcome to Gaia! ::

~The Kirijo Group Dormitory (Party Location: Lobby)~

A 4-story dormitory compound located on the outskirts of Inaba, near the Amagi Inn, the Kirijo Group Dormitory Compound was built by Kirijo contractors [including Junpei Iori] in order to accommodate the arrival of Group CEO Mitsuru Kirijo for an extended stay and research in the small town. Off-limits to anyone not directly affiliated with or invited by members of the group, or those close to the CEO herself, the dormitory compound houses several former members of the SEES Organization, who are all staying in town for reasons of their own.


Tonight is a celebration of the birthday of the Kirijo Group's CEO and Senior member of SEES, Mitsuru Kirijo. The party, organized by longtime friend and SEES Senior Member Akihiko Sanada, will mostly take place in the Lobby of the Dorm, though other areas may be open under circumstances. There will be cake, music, and dancing...and a special surprise at the end of the night for the Guest of Honor.


Kirijo Group Dormitory

Rosealine Miina, and one particularly shiny Faust

"Happy birthday Kirijo-san." Rose's cheery voice called out, as a figure with a shiny face stood next to her.
"Happy birthday." Faust called quietly, trying to not draw attention to himself. His face shone like a ton of diamonds, but he managed to hide most of the other sparkle, through various articles of clothing. Damn dust. However, Rose refused to let him stay back for a small problem like a shine. She wanted him to come, and he had no real ability to say no to her.

He idly wondered about Toru, having invited Kusuri. He wasn't sure if she would come or not, but hoped she would. That way, if it got too rowdy, he could escape with her help.

Mitsuru Kirijo
Head of the Kirijo Group

"Akihiko..." the red head smiled, having shifted her attention from the mystery on the fridge to the detective. It was nice to see him here; with all the work at the station, she could say she barely saw him these days. She glanced at Junpei once more and back to Akihiko, finally giving a nod, obliging to follow him. Though, what he wanted to show her made the woman wonder... he seemed to be in good spirits, when moments ago he had looked tired, so it couldn't be any bad news, right? She followed just behind him, for the first time noticing the change in the furniture. Had those chairs been there before? So distracted she had been not to notice the rearrangements in the couches? She furrowed her eyebrows just slightly, understanding that this wasn't pure coincidence. The man in front of her was planning something, she was sure of it...Just, what?

Her question was answered right then, as a wrapped box appeared from behind the counter, followed by a smaller one. Oh, no...He hadn't. That was when everything seemed to fall into place. Greater space, more chairs; almost as if all arranged for...A party. She turned, following the silver haired boxer's gaze, just to find a birthday cake standing tall on the counter. "Ah-I...Akihiko, you didn't have to." the red haired woman finally answered, after the short moment in loss of words. A smile graced her features, though; thankful for the surprise they had all work on...for all this. With so much going on...she had left aside the small not important things, like her birthday; and for them to bring these small portions of life back brought some kind of tranquility back. That somehow, things weren't as difficult. "Thank you." She answered warmly.

Mitsuru turned, listening to some other voices, who she supposed where the guests to this surprise party, finding herself with Rosealine Miina and her...sparkly friend. "Thanks Miina. And you are...?" She asked cordially, but inside she was only trying to find any sense to the green haired boy's shiny skin, and trying to fight back the chuckles. It was rude to laugh in other's faces. And, well...for Mitsuru, acting properly wasn't something she had problems with. Though, people close to her could probably see the laughter on her eyes and that maybe this time, it was taking more self control than in other occasions. "Otonashi, good to see you here."

Kaoru wasn't sure why he had found the invitation in the mail that morning. He didn't know anyone who lived at the compund, nor was he one of the unfortunate who lost their home. But, it was something to do, he supposed, to take his mind off all the chaos.

On his way to the party, he had bumped into someone -- literally. Valem...something. He couldn't remember the last name, though it had sounded foreign with the other had introduced himself. In apology, Kaoru had offered for him to come along, the invitation had said he could bring a guest with him.

Entering through the gates, security guards did a quick pat down, finding nothing threatening on his person and allowing him further entry.

Rose and A Sparkly Faust

Rose smiled, as she patted Faust on the back.
"This is my little bro, Ed....Faust." she called, half starting on the joke about Faust's current condition, before delving back to slight seriousness.

A few chuckles could be heard from her slightly bouncy figure, finding the whole thing still funny.

Faust averted his gaze, feeling kind of shy as he looked around, wondering if anyone else he knew was going to be here. Rose was just too forward to tell him who and all was coming, barely telling him what he was coming for.

"I think this will be a wonderful party!"

Ellen hummed to herself as she arrived at the Birthday Party Location in the quickest clothes she could decide for a birthday party, no earings, striped black and white socks, black shoes, a red and pink plaided skirt with a black, sleveless v-neck top.. and soon as she took sight of the building, her eyes shined, 'My Glorious God! This place is huge!' Wondering about the random invitaion, Ellen smiled as she arrived at the gate. A few seconds of discomfort when the guards patted her down for anything lehtal or suspicious.

She finnally stepped in remembering the name of the special Birthday Girl, stepping inside with butterflies in her chest, she called out in a slightly loud voice, "Happy Birthday Kirijo-san!" Feeling slightly shy of the amount of people she didn't know around her, The big present that was the size of three printers were wearing down Ellen's arm strength, inside it was a
Delux Spa set with:
-hair removal pads with three sizes (Thin, medium, wide)
-a foot massager
-a mini nail salon the size of a pencil case
-a face steamer to moisturize the face
-an expert hair ironer
'I REALLY hope she's into this kind of stuff' hoped Ellen.

Valem had been on his way down from the rooftops of Inaba when he'd run into Kaoru; more out of his own split-mindedness, after all being in contact with a demon split his focus to some degree; half of his mind focused on what the demon was telling him, the other half focusing on the world at hand. Normally this would not have been a problem, but as Valem had yet to accustom to his missing left arm, he'd been thrown off balance and fallen.
The man had apologetically asked if Valem would want to come to a party, as it had allowed guests to come with him. The idea, of course, was perfect. He was close enough to maintain contact with Abaddon, yet far enough to remain out of direct combat risk - while maintaining close proximity to a large group of people; likely where at least one would have powers should reinforcements be needed.
Accepting the offer, Valem followed him through a set of security gates, where he was cleared; albiet the guards gave him a funny glance on his way past. Something he'd probably have to get used to.
Upon entry, he noticed several guests that he recognized from the school; although he normally kept to himself - preferring to be left as a shadow, that kid in the back of the classroom who no one really remembered. He also sighted his friend Leon, and made a mental note to give his greetings sometime during the evening. Sparkling like he'd rolled in the glitter aisles at Wal-mart was Faust, whom he'd met briefly before being impaled by Naniyori. Hopefully his message to Eoria had gotten through and the pair were aware that he was in one piece.
Approching the birthday girl, Valem extended a quick greeting of "Happy Birthday", extending a celebratory bottle of vodka, a tradition from his hometown, before excusing himself to mingle with the other guests.
Valem approached towards Leon and glanced his direction, making sure the Persona user had noticed him before deciding against mental communication. His mind was split to ways already, best not add a three way split to his attention. Instead he gave a quick; "Goot to see hyu Leon!"
