[SOMEBODY SURE SOUNDS CHEERFUL. It is the fakest thing that ever faked, because actually she's feeling a high degree of stress right now. This is not where they are supposed to be, but it's apparently where everyone is. Why?]

Hey everybody! Haha. We got sent on a mission. And now we're back! Um, they said they'd explain things but they kinda just left... why are we here? H-haha, I'm afraid to ask.

Oh, uh... Collette, Jesse, Vanadi, Nill, Jack... I brought you back some things. Come see me! Once I figure out where I... am...

[Whistling in the dark intensifies.]

[Though it ain't over yet, considering Gin's just as confused and a little unnerved by this as Rin is, even if he doesn't sound it.]

Yeah, pretty sure last time I checked, we were down there, not up here...though ya' might wanna break it gently to Asano here, not sure how much she can handle before she loses it fully.

[IN CLOSING: the sound of Rin trying to shove him. :/]

What's up, Exsilium?

[ ... ]

We! We're totally up, get it?

[ A nervous laugh. Ella pls. ]

I swear it sounded better in my head. Anyway! Welcome, newbies! I'm Ella, Ella Ellis and yeah that's my name. For those that don't know yet, I'm the person that gets you whatever you want, no matter what. Unless it's like, really complex. Or alive. Or a hydrospanner. I mean, seriously Han, the damn thing has exploded like ten times in my face already. Sure you don't want a battery powered screwdriver?

[ Not that she can really do one of those without the risk of explosion either. ]

But yeah- you need something, you ask me. I'm still not charging for this, so hey, better make good use of it. And yet I didn't want to talk about this, or at least not only this. I keep getting sidetracked.

So for the ones that were around on August, I hosted a pretty kickass party, right? September wasn't so good for parties because we were too busy, er, you know. Plus we got bombed and not in the fun way. And now we're on the Moon, which is kinda cool, but you know what's cooler?

[ Imaginary drum-roll! ]

VR Rooms! I've been messing with them, and I have decided I can totally host a party inside of one of those. Make a nice, big house, with an even nicer, bigger back yard, maybe put some grills, some games, a pool, make it something more afternoon-evening to let everyone relax for a little bit. And something like a college party in the evening, although all I know about keggers and the like comes from movies so some help would be appreciated.

[ Obligatory pause to breathe. ]

But yeah, it's totally happening, sometime soon in a close VR room to your Moon base. Probably on the last week of the month, but you've been notified! I'm now open for ideas and suggestions. Just like the last time, food and whatever will be handled by yours truly, and the music will most likely be handled by Claudia, I guess. So if there's any real party planner among us, you might want to step up and give a hand.

This totally trivial message ends here.

[Han Solo]

I actually have a working hydrospeanner, but I need you to look at it to make sure it actually does what is supposed to do. This is the first time I've created something I don't have in my world, so.

The tobacco is ready, if you still want it.
