Do you know, I've been here for a year now. Oh, how the time flies, or whatever other cliches you might like! But then with all of this time flying, I'll get straight to business and stop wasting it.

I'd like to suggest a celebration. I personally will be celebrating a year here, but I'm certain we can find a good handful of other causes, if you're in need of one to allow yourself a little food, drink, and dancing!

Ah, let's see… we might celebrate that the Initiative has finally come to its senses and realized the value of a therapeutic trip to the beach. Yes? Lovely, that one. I'm sorry to any of our new arrivals who've missed it! Or if you're not a fan, for some reason, of sun, water, and half-naked people, then maybe we might celebrate a favorite holiday from home. Calendars between here and our collective homes hardly match up, so it shouldn't be any trouble at all if it isn't the right time of year for it. Or if you're of a grimmer persuasion, perhaps we might simply celebrate the fact that, despite the United Earth's occasional brutal efforts, most of us are still alive.

So then. What do you think? Shall it have a theme? I've already done a masquerade in Versailles, it would be unsightly to do a repeat performance. I don't suppose there are any suggestions? Food requests may be delivered to Adrasteius, who I'm quite certain won't mind at all managing the banquet again. He's very agreeable like that.

No beach. Fuck beaches.

[implying]

I'm inclined to agree, if with somewhat less vehemence — a beach is not the venue I had in mind for a party like this one.

[biwinning]

... What if you had it right before everything went to shit? Like, when things were thtill going well for everyone?

[When Earth had it's most high-tech that he could snag...]

[implying]

I don't suppose you have a date for that? I'm a bit rusty on my Earth history.

[biwinning]

I don't know. But I can find one out.

[implying]

Find me a time, and I'll see what we can do.

[ cuz, you know. he majorly owes you one, bro. forever. ]

[biwinning]

[Vanadi... he can tell you're being nice for no reason...]

Eugh... nevermind.

[implying]

Too late, I've already made up my mind!

[biwinning]

If I don't find out the date, you can't do it anyway.

[implying]

I am capable of research myself, you know.

[biwinning]

Don't.

[implying]

Don't what?

[biwinning]

Don't fuck with me. Unlike Zahhak, when I say quit it, I'm not being some coy blushing dipshit. I mean drop it. You have plenty of other party ideas. Go with those.

[implying]

You have a very odd definition of being fucked with.

[biwinning]

It's a phrase!!

[implying]

And also inaccurate, here.

[biwinning]

[...Oh. He thought... Vanadi was being... Vanadi.]


Look. Forget I said anything. I'm probably not even going.

[implying]

And why wouldn't you?

[biwinning]

Becauthe I don't do "big parties."

[implying]

Aha. And what would make them more appealing?

[biwinning]

Not attending.

[implying]

Oh, come, there must be some factor that would have you enjoying your time!

[biwinning]

A metric fuckton of cotton candy.

[implying]

It could always be made available at the freshments.

[biwinning]

... I'll think about it.

[He fucking loves cotton candy.]
