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.

Don't make it fancy, that's me only suggestion. Keep it casual and I'll help you cook for it.

A party's a great idea! Vanadi, I can't believe it's been that long for us!

Though can it please not be formal wear?

[musclebeast]

Your affinity for frivolous celebrations never ceases to amaze and perplex me.

[the_human]

Oh, MAN, this is gonna be AWESOME!,/i> You should totally throw, like, a 24-hour party! With dancing, and clubs, and drinks, and balloons, and raves, and lights, and it's gonna be soooooo cool!

I've been here for just about a year now too. Been wondering who else's been here that long

Not exactly the sort of thing to celebrate, but i'll be damned if I'll pass up a reason to drink

I can play music at this shindig too I guess

I suppose that I could be persuaded to attend such an event, if the invitation was open.

[payback]

Are you sure you can get the Initiative to give you a whole party for that?

[caligulas_aquarium]

I figure "still aliwe" is as good a reason as you're probably gonna get.

...what is the deal with you an' your tendency for these grand scale blowouts though.

video.

What a party where everyone turns up wearing differeing colours, and you have to try and have a complete outfit of the same colour by the end of the night.

( There's no way that could go wrong with Jules and Vanadi and other such terrors around. )

[ the name attached to this account reads Haruka Takahashi blah blah etc etc you know the drill. ]

You like living here well enough to want to celebrate it?

voice

[phaseshifts]

I like this idea.

[affections]

You see? It's sanctioned by this fine individual. That must mean something.

( no don't encourage her what have you done )

[implying]

Oh, please, my dear. If I'm organizing a party, it's going to be fancy.

[controlledvariable]

thirded!

[implying]

And what have you got against formal wear?

[allucinator]

I'm not your dear and if it's fancy, it's gonna be borin'. Rich parties always are. It's just talk and food.

[implying]

Oh, surely you ought to know me well enough by now to put aside amazement, no?

[implying]

Mm, it certainly might be possible... but I was thinking something along other lines. A bit more splendor to it, perhaps.

[implying]

Oh, come, it's plenty enough something to celebrate! What would you be doing at home otherwise? Certainly not making so many charming friends as you can here.

[implying]

Oh, consider it wide open. Why, I'd be wounded if you didn't!

[implying]

My dear, I'm quite sure I can get them to agree to anything, if it's for the sake of the moral of our brave troops.

[crocodilesmiles]

It has skirts and dresses is all Englishy and stuff for girls! Plus suits have like a zillion pieces.

( Also she'd far prefer it to be something familiar, and everything here is pretty much not close to the stuff her mother wore, or she wore when dressing up nice at home. Not a sari or anything of the sort. )

I'm not even sorry about all that emphasis because it's 100% IC

[the_human]

Yeah? Like what? Will there be fireworks?

voice

[implying]

Why, they're lively and brighten the mood, have I a need for any other motivation? But nonetheless, congratulations on your continued life!

voice

[implying]

Ohhh, now there's a suggestion I can entertain! Perhaps we might even arrange ourselves into rainbow order the next morning, hmm?
