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.

Well, so long as you challenge no one to a duel and light no one on fire, I do believe I can work with that. My thanks, my dear.

[dawningsun]

I trust that you'd understand me that I'm not one for such displays.

I'd much rather poison someone in a fit of jealousy.

[He manages to seem serious for a moment, and then he smiles slightly and chuckles- just once.]

When are you planning this event for?

[implying]

[ was that a joke
should he be recording this moment in history. well, he grins, anyway. ]

Then I'll know to whom to go for a lively murder mystery.

To give us time to prepare everything... perhaps a month?

[dawningsun]

[Stop the presses, Kirian made a joke and smiled a little.]

Very well, then.

I do hope you're not planning to make yourself scarce until then.

[implying]

Only as scarce as absolutely necessary! I'm quite sure I'll have room in my schedule for you, my dear.

[dawningsun]

I suppose I've recovered enough by now to entertain a visit. Do you have any objection to visiting me? I speak mostly to that my roommates aren't always the most...agreeable creatures.

[implying]

Why, not at all! I'm actually quite fond of both of your roommates, in fact.

[dawningsun]

Are you? Curious.

[It's not too much of a surprise, Vanadi's...gregarious.]

I'd offer to make dinner, but I fear that both you and Adrasteius would only be disappointed.
