Which means, it's his birthday. Natalie had already sent out every invitation weeks ago. It wasn't going to be a massive celebration, but Natalie felt the need to make sure he knew his birth was special, especially to her. So she had a plan, one that would start at precisely twelve noon. When Izumo woke up that morning, he didn't get anything. Natalie went on like it was a normal day. She did her work, cleaned up, and helped their new friend Esmeralda get a few of her deliveries done.
Esmeralda was a new addition to Natalie's life and one she welcomed quite easily. Esmeralda showed up in the back alley tired and hungry. Izumo apparently found her out there and brought her in. She was a young lady with extremely long hair, similar to Natalie's, but much darker. For a moment, Natalie had actually been jealous. She approached the girl with a bit of hostility, but Esmeralda shut her up by saying. "My name is Esmeralda. I'm not interest in your man. Just hungry."
Natalie immediately had a new friend and they get along well. Seeing her situation, Izumo offered her a bit of a job. Esmeralda was a lot stronger than she looked and could deal with deliveries easier than Natalie. She took out and brought in new boxes, dealt with inventory, and picked up the heavier things around the bar. She was a great help and all she wanted was some food in return! Natalie invited Esmeralda to stay with her until she got herself situated. She'll be at the party.
Logan Branton, a good friend of Izumo's had arrived in town yesterday after making sure things were okay with his girlfriend Olivia. He stayed at his old place, unsure of how long he was gonna be able to pay for that since he wasn't out on jobs. He'd run out of funds for it eventually. He was waiting to get Natalie's call, but was already dressed and ready to go the moment noon came about. It had been a while since he partied and last year he had completely forgot Izumo's birthday.
Since that wasn't happening again, Logan made sure to invite another good friend, Lysander. He had been out on a job, but finished it a week ago. Lysander was known for taking his time when it came to reporting in, so when Logan hunted him down it was a surprise. Luckily, he wasn't that to find. Lysander was staying with Logan for now. They sat back and talked, waiting for that damn phone call that seemed like it was taking forever to come, but at least they caught up with each other.
The newest addition to the group of friends was Shinpachi. He was traveling with the most beautiful woman he had ever seen: Lydia. They arrived in town a couple days ago, just in time to get the invitation. Since Lysander was going to be there, Shinpachi was definitely wanting to be there. He'd just have to go halvsies on a gift with Lydia since he didn't know the birthday-man. Knowing the party was coming up, he got dressed and began making his way over with Lydia to help with things.
With people waiting, keeping watch over the bar, and others hiding in alleys and corners for Izumo to leave, it was time for Natalie to make her move. "Um... Izumo I need a huge favor." she walked shyly up to him, looking a little worried, "I kind of have a meeting with a loan agent in about ten minutes, so I have to be here... Esmeralda," actually hiding on the roof, "is out and I need a delivery brought in. It's a little personal, so I'll explain what it's for later, but do you think you can pick it up for me?"
