002. [ video ]

[ His video is set up so he can clearly show his entire face on the network as he talks. The camera seems steady, and he is leaning forward, propping his chin on the palm of his hand as he talks. His expression seems almost annoyed, though not serious. ]

Everyone has seemed rather upset. I guess for good reasons. Mostly, at least.

[ There's the slightest pause, as if he's trying to figure out the best way to explain it. ]

But, with that, I think we need to start looking forward, and I feel like an overdue distraction might be the best way for us to take the first step.

[ He closes his eyes, and tilts his head slightly. ]

A party. Something fun where people can dress nice. Something like a masquerade, I guess. Or a formal party of sorts. I guess it would depend on what others are interested in or what the participation will be.

If I see interest, then I don't mind starting to put stuff together.

Maybe it would be a good time to make amends if you hurt anyone. We could use an unoccupied larger house.

But, I wouldn't want to do it alone, so there is also that.

im feeling a little like a deer in headlights here

[rightfoot]

[ he's doing this on purpose, of course -- ]

Deer don't often stare into headlights in your world, do they?

[firewalled]

uh yeah they do
if youre driving towards one they get all freaked out when they see the lights and just stare


[rightfoot]

Yeah, that's not a thing for me.

i mean im glad for that
wouldnt want you to get hit by something
though i guess there arent cars here anyways


[rightfoot]

I'm more similar to a human than the animals you'd keep as pets or see near the wild areas here.
