Farewell Slumber Party, 6th Floor, Wednesday Night

[glacial_queen]

By now, Karla was used to throwing parties at school. The set-up was easy enough: lots of food, lots of drinks, lots of games and activities, lots of space. There were some streamers and balloons up, mostly because Karla was trying to remind everyone (or, at least, herself) that this was supposed to be a happy occasion.

Really. It was. At least, that's what everyone kept telling her.

The important thing to keep in mind was that there would (probably) be no repeat of her last sixth floor party sadly. She had gone the safe an glitter-free route this time. Clad in her new pajamas, Karla waited for her guests to arrive.

[Yay for slumber parties. For girls only (and our honorary girl for the evening), up early for great SP justice. Please hold for OCD up!]

Karla? Mind? In her eyes, the more people a party had, the better. Which was why there was a bouncing Karla on her way over to greet Asuna.

"Kiss kiss!" she greeted with a smile. "Glad you came!"

"Karla-san!" She greeted, grinning from ear to ear. "I hope you don't mind I crashed your party!"

"It was open to everyone," Karla assured Asuna with a smile. "Well, every female anyway. So you're invited, not crashing."

"Good company and free food? I'll never turn that down, Karla-san!"

"I'm with you, there!" Karla agreed. "Hey, Asuna, can I ask you something? What does the -san mean when you say it after my name?"

Curious Karla was curious!

"Oh, well, '-san' is actually an honorific," Asuna explained with a chuckle, wondering how she'd explain. "Japan is a very formal country, you see. It is a big no-no if I were to call you 'Karla' after we just met, I have to add '-san' as a way to show respect. You could say '-san' means 'Miss or Mister' then '-san' eventually evolves to '-chan' or '-kun' or just simply saying the name when they become good friends."

"Should I use that, too?" Karla asked, intrigued. "No one here will notice if you drop the '-san' or the, uhh, '-khan' did you say? But every time someone just calls you Asuna, you notice the lack, don't you?"

Asuna grinned then shook her head.

"I did notice it at first," she admitted. "But I got used to it, it's a lot harder for me to stop using the honorifics though."

She will eventually, she wasn't exactly the picture of a normal Japanese girl.

"Well, I certainly don't mind," Karla assured her. "It took me awhile to stop calling everyone by the titles we use at home: 'Prince This' or 'Lady That.' Though people seemed almost...bothered by it. Everyone was quick to point out that they didn't have titles."
