Gren Orchid
"This is good. Very good."Gren was surprised at how many people were arriving to the Deli, almost to the point he was worried he was way in over his head. But he shook those thoughts off because he
was way in over his head. In fact he was relying on it. The first to arrive was Sapphire, who didn't seem to notice Gren or was at least trying to ignore him. Whatever, plenty of other people to talk to. When Cobalt mentioned paying for food Gren just laughed.
"That won't be necessary. I'll cover for myself and... The party." He would have said team but soon many, many more people were showing up. The rest of Team CODE arrived, which earned a nod from Gren.
Grane came not too long after, who told him that he invited his team as well.
"Not all of them, but this is my team leader, Sapphire Rode. Perhaps you've heard of her?" Despite what Sapphire may have thought, Gren did know who her father was. He just never thought it was important enough to mention in casual conversation. Besides that Gren was well aware that many of his fellow students had personal family troubles, and Sapphire was no exception. While he has no idea what the specifics are Gren was certain that if they were ever to pose an actual problem Sapphire would be wise enough to let them know. And if not... Gren can play the part of willful ignorance.
Eventually Abel arrived, and with Krysthane at that. Gren didn't need to be a mindreader to know that Abel might have the hots for Krysthane, and he could see why. She was strong, attractive, intelligent, and sociable. The leader of Team KESS as well. Smirking to himself, Gren wondered how it was like under her leadership. Surely not as bad as working for Sapphire, right?
"Hey Abel! Krystane! Over here!"Soon Delta arrived with Roberts and Napoli, which was a surprise but nothing that Gren couldn't handle. Delta's weird semblance Eve gave him and Grane the moniker G&G. GG sounds better, but that also makes them sound like a couple and that was just odd.
"Nothing much Delta, just trying to wrangle a party together. Haven't gotten a call yet, did you make sure you pass out my business cards? Also wussup Roberts? Take a seat, grub will come over shortly."The area was getting crowded now, but Gren was willing to make space. Moving carefully around everyone Gren started to set up some tables, grabbing ones further away to bring them closer to the ground so everyone could dine and chat with one another. While he was shortly away Gren also went to the Deli Counter and ordered a party platter of sandwiches and drinks for everyone. Fairly generic stuff, but if anyone wanted anything in particular they could buy it with their own Lien.
As Gren returned from ordering food he had only three seconds to see the white flash. Three seconds were all he had to activate his Semblance to keep himself rooted to the ground, and it wasn't until he was hit that he realized that Shiro had just tried to glomp him. Which was quite foolish even if Gren didn't use his semblance to essentially turn him into a stone column, because even without it Gren was at least twice Shiro's size and five times as heavy. Still Gren could understand his partner's affection, so once he was certain that it was indeed Shiro and not a suicide bomber Gren released his Semblance and spun Shiro around in his arms. Gren toss the white tiger into the air before catching him, then setting him down on the ground carefully.
"Nice to see you too buddy! I just brought some sandwiches, take a seat. There's some stuff we got to talk about. Don't worry, nothing too heavy."With the gang all here Gren tried to get them all to gather around. Even those not part of Team SASG, since it's Gren was the type of fool to get as many people involved as he could. As he waited he heard Sapphire say something about Cobalt's leadership. It reminded him of her own stunt back at the island.
"Cobalt will be a fine leader. So long as he remembers he has a team he can rely on and doesn't try to go commando against the final boss without backup or proper equipment. That's just stupid." Waiting for everyone else conversation to die down somewhat, Gren then beckoned for Grane to join him.
"Aight, Sapphire, Abel, Shiro, I want you all to meet an old friend of mines, Grane Blauer! He is a old friend of mines from waaaaaay back, back when we were kids even. He might be a bit thuggish but he's a hero at heart, hence why he's here. But he's also new in town, so I figured that this was a cause for celebration!" Gren rubbed his hands together and lifted them over his head, creating a a large holographic image of words saying "Welcome to Vale, Grane!" in bright colors.
"So listen up everyone! After class and all that, I'm going to take Grane on a tour of the city. We're going to go everywhere all night, from the Horn of Plenty to the Land of Walt, Red Asphalt to The Club and even Sapphire's uncle. We can either walk or ride, but whatever were doing we're doing it tonight! Be there or be square!" At that Gren heard someone call out for him, and that his party platter was ready. Gren waved over to the counter and hoped that they would bring the food to him instead of having to leave the group to get it himself. He was kinda trying to rally people here.
