[002] Pleasantries

[heartlesshin]

[This expression has, quite literally, never been seen on this man's face before. No sneer, no smirk, not even a carefully crafted look of concern. No secretive smile, no aloof turn of his head. Instead, Nakago is smiling quite pleasantly, as though his life is peaceful and serene and nothing could truly disturb him

That sounds like a really nice idea!

[Video] this is automatically hilarious XD

[heartlesshin]

Then will you attend? I wouldn't want to make too much work for the ladies by not being able to give a number to cook for.

[Video] YES. NAKAGO SHOULD HOST MORE BBQS, AMIRITE?

[daath_vader]

I would love to! I would like to help, if I can.

[Video] He says how about some roast seishi? NOMMY.

[heartlesshin]

Bring a dish to pass.

[And choke on it, preferably; not that he has a specific issue with Ion, but he feels almost compelled to grumble in his thoughts while none of them seem to make it to his lips.]

*Why is he smiling? Why is he even responding to this? Ugh.*

That sounds... *He's fighting with himself, but in the end, he finishes his sentence.* ...fun.

[He can see it in the tiniest twitches: like everyone else, this person's smiles are forced.

Well, it isn't the first time Nakago's lived opposite to his true feelings. Of course, that's what makes it all the worse.]

I'm so pleased you'll come. I want to get to know all the neighbors, understand.

[... Actually, he really doesn't care if he never sees any of them. For the time being, they're useless to him.]

Networking is important.

*No it isn't. He'd be quite content to never interact with anyone.*

My name is Hiei, it's nice to meet you.

*Actually, he'd much rather this conversation never happened.*

I can't think why I haven't done this before.

[... Because there's really no need for it. It doesn't matter if he knows the people here and in many ways, it's easier if he doesn't, except for the few who come to his notice in ways relevant to his goals and interests.]

Call me Nakago.

[heraldry_sword]

That's a great plan. Can I help?

[heartlesshin]

Many hands make light work!

[... Where did he even get such a ridiculous saying? But when he tries to grimace, instead he winks.]

[heraldry_sword]

Really! And even if our old friends can't be here, it's a good opportunity to make new ones.

We can trade recipes!

[Doesn't need an event to think it's a good idea. He'll be disappointed.]

[heartlesshin]

What's your name, friend?

[When in his life did he ever speak this informally and with such lack of refinement? He'd hardly have been kept at the palace if he had.]

[video]

[unreadability]

Let us hope this incentive has not spoiled once we find ourselves past Saturday.

[video]

[heartlesshin]

Will you come, Ma'am? You'd be an ornament to any gathering.

[video]

[unreadability]

My ambitions have always extended beyond the decoration of any given context.

[video]

[heartlesshin]

Sharp and intelligent, too. Your husband is a lucky man.

[lovesagoodkabob]

It sounds like a perfect chance to relax.

[Hitsugaya. Relaxing. When will this end?]

[video]

[heartlesshin]

Of course, son! [Hitsu is free to stab him for calling him that later.] Come on and forget about your troubles awhile.

[video]

[lovesagoodkabob]

[There is totally going to be a PSA at the end of the event. "IT'S HITSUGAYA, DAMMIT!"]

If there's anyway I can help set it up...?

[video] I just realized how awesome your current username is for this thread... XD XD

[heartlesshin]

Absolutely! Many hands make light work.

[When did he ever use these nonsensical sayings?]
