[Hakkai appears on the Plane with a small white dragon nervously perched on his shoulder, and a look of pleasant surprise crosses his face -- clearly he wasn't expecting this to work. The dragon, however, doesn't seem quite so happy, if the startled chirp and fluttering wings are evidence of anything. Hakkai strokes the dragon's neck reassuringly.]

Now, please don't be afraid, Jeep. You're perfectly safe, really. I'd wanted to show you want this place looked like, especially after having spoken so much about it -- it's quite lucky this worked, isn't it? I would've felt silly if I'd appeared here without you.

[The dragon relaxes a little and cranes its long neck around to inspect his surroundings. Hakkai coaxes him off his shoulder, and the dragon begins flying around, though he stays close to his owner.]

Ah, be sure not to wander too far off, alright? ♥

((OoC: tags might be slow from me! I ought to be studying :3 Also, a wild Sanzo might appear and tag threads, so please be wary of hostile Buddhist monks. \o/ ))

[Here they are again in the kitchen, only this time there's quite a lot more food. Hei is cooking up a storm, and there's a wide variety already set out onto the counters. Most of them are hors d'oeuvres of various kinds, as well as dinners that are a mix of Chinese and Japanese. All of it, frankly, looks like something you'd see catered at a wedding. Misaki, meanwhile, is at the table, sorting through all manner of papers.]

[Hei looks up from making little strawberry tarts to Misaki.] We're pretty much on schedule. I'll be able to pick up the cake in about an hour.

Good. [She pulls out something that looks like a guest list.] I can't remember who here still doesn't know.

I think most of them do. In any case, we have a few more hours to spread the word.

A few more hours. [She lays her head on the table] What made us think this was a good idea, again?

[He laughs.] Well, most of them don't even seem to remember the first time. This way we know they'll be able to attend.


[ooc: Blue=Misaki, Red=Hei. Also, Boogie's tags will be slow for awhile.]

{Diva is dressed up in the kimono that Amaterasu gave her, and with light makeup to match. She's sitting at a vanity that she's brought to the plane, trying to put her hair up carefully}

Ne, I knew that being in a show was a lot of hard work, but I had no idea that they wouldn't have any proper make-up and hair stylists until the actual performance. It's been such a long time since I've had to do this myself.

{And she tries to pin it in place, but it all falls back down, which she frowns at}

Oh, it's not working at all! I'm really happy to have the part in Madama Butterfly, but...it's hard. Does anyone here know how to put this up better? And maybe teach me too.
