[ 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.

I believe that would help people's spirits greatly, and I will offer a hand for the organization.

[ Too much sadness all around town and he's only got two hands. ]

For as much into their own partying as they are, I'm surprised I haven't heard more for celebrations. Like they take their new year solemnly. [A pause. There's been... a bit more going on than Maria's roommates have mentioned, but she sees it over the network - references to people acting a bit more... wild than they would like, but the less she knows about it, the better.

So she'll leave it at that.]

Something for us might not be so bad. [Wow, everyone be impressed, Maria's talking about something that could help unite the Mirrorbound more. Far be her from being the first voice of that, usually./

She'll just make the excuse she wants to get drunk.]

are you gonna go stag

[SOMEONE HAD TO DO IT

and lbr he's just trying to beat fie to the punch]

A party sounds like fun. Since Aefenglom has some new year coming up and this is when Halloween would be happening... maybe a costume party?

[Will people dress as vampires, will that be insensitive?] Or the masquerade's a better idea! I don't mind helping put it together if you need extra hands.

Nice to see you. I'd like a hand, and appreciate your help.

[ He's noticed the same. ]

I agree. They have a lot of reasons to celebrate, but none that I've seen recently. My motivation is less the time of year and more the recent events.

But the timing seems to align nicely.

[ Might make pitching the idea easier. ]

Haha, a party sounds like a lovely idea! I think people could use something fun to look forward to.

If you need any music, I'd be happy to help out.

I'm proud of you for that, Shinjiro.

But... I don't go alone to parties.

[ Sir, if you had posted about literally anything else, Lux would have some questions. Like why he is clearly a deer but has hands. That seems a little... Odd? Was he always like that? She's so curious.

But he's also speaking her language, which is why she is positively beaming when the feed turns on. ]

That sounds like a great idea! I've never been on the planning side of things, but I have attended more than a few formal parties. I would be happy to help.

[ Please let her help. ]

you don't realize that we'd be dragging you do this do you?

hey, better you hear dumb shit from me than from anyone else

so who're you taking then?

[He. Did not.

wait did louis pull this just to make good on their threats to get him in a suit. SUSPICIOUS.]

i didn't until now

I'm always glad to have extra hands. More people working together tends to produce better results.

yikes

I have some experience with events like this— if there’s anything you need help with, I’d be happy to assist you. I think it’s a really nice idea.

I accept it from you.

You and Fie.

Well, in truth, it seems they have very few reasons to celebrate, but they do it anyway. [Like. A lot. And while she's not adverse to all the free booze that tends to flow through there, they do a lot of partying for a society on the edge of oblivion.

Though maybe, what better way to take your mind off it?]

I see. I saw some people talking about home traditions, and this is their new year. I recall that being a lot of cause for celebration - despite the plague barking at the doors, they survived another year.

Oh yeah. That'd be great, Elliot. Music is definitely necessary. It's been pretty depressing, overall, around here the past couple of weeks.

It had been a difficult few days, but I'm doing alright. I'm glad that you're okay, too.

As for the party, I could also take care of the music? Unless someone else better than me steps in.

my thoughts exactly

[ Ask him about his hands, someday, Lux. He'll think he's being punked. ]

I'm glad there's some excitement in something that will help us make progress.

[ Smile. ]

So of course I'd be glad for the help.

and now it means no one else can say it and drive you crazy.

[Deciding. HOW MUCH CAN HE PROTEST. What are the odds of success. not very good, likely.]

pass, i'm not into these things.

Yeah, it has. There's a lot that's happened. But that makes it all the more important to do something to lift people's spirits.

Let me know what style of music you'd like to have at the party, and I'll see what I can put together.

That would be great. Even better you have experience. I know what we need, but it's always good to have others who know how to do it, too.

[Yuya grins wider.] Yeah, I feel the same way! What day are you thinking of having it? Can we ask the coven about using one of the empty houses?
