13th Inversion - Video

[ritsu_kouyou]

[The Vine shows Akiha in her sitting room, a steaming cup of tea before her.]

As our gracious host has been so kind as to give us all more sugar than any of us need and a distinctive lack of most other forms of real sustenance, I would like to take the time to provide everyone with a proper gourmet meal.

As I understand, in America, tomorrow would mark a holiday to give thanks with an extravagant feast. So, for dinner tomorrow, I am inviting all of you to the Tohno Mansion for such a meal. As I am not American, I cannot claim it will be a Thanksgiving feast as per preset standards, but I assure you, it will be an excellent meal with plenty of meat and other culinary dishes we've been unable to have at our leisure as of late.

Dinner will be served at five o'clock sharp. I ask that, as I'm inviting all of you - even those of you I do not get along with - that you be on your best behavior. If you wish to partake in alcohol, I suggest you bring it along with you that I am not keen on sharing.

Please, accept my generosity and join me for the evening.

[Akiha bows her head slightly before picking up her tea to sip.]

[ooc: If there is enough interest, I can put an open log up for this otherwise handwave it.]

Action or Video, your call

[of_the_highest_caliber]

It looks like this is one time where "making too much" will come in handy, eheh. [ Fortunately, Subaru has managed to pick the kitchens at the disused inn clean, leaving a note for any interested parties to call if they needed some. ]

Action

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha looks up once the mirror closes.]

Not at all. This will be provided via magic with some things from the stores to supplement.

[of_the_highest_caliber]

I hope that works out better than some of the attempts I made... [ Like the corn she husked that turned out to be candy corn, instead. ]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha raised her eyebrow.]

We're not using the Garden's magic, Subaru. Kris has a spell she created for me months ago. I'm putting it to good use.

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Oh! Haha, that does sound a lot safer. I didn't know she could do something like that. [ Or maybe she forget. Subaru hasn't... been the most responsive lately. She's basically been rationing herself and it's starting to wear on her. Of course "rations" means eating for one person instead of for three, so most people wouldn't see anything weird at all. ]

[video] of course

[shanghaiworld]

Well, if you wish for me to be on my best behavior, then I shall bow down from partaking in your feast. There are those that are in actual need of food, which would just make me feel like a food thief.

[video]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Tch. Please. There is plenty of food and no one under my roof has to remotely worry about going hungry. I simply do not want any fights at this.

[video]

[shanghaiworld]

There is also the fact I would just feel awkward there.

[video]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha gives a heavy sigh.]

You'll make Kris sad.

[fionna_time]

Sounds like a great idea! There's been a lot of depressing junk happening in the gardens these days.

Need any help in prep?

[ritsu_kouyou]

You're more than welcome to help get the mansion in a proper state to receive guests. There is a bit of dusting to be done.

[fionna_time]

Dusting, got it!

[ritsu_kouyou]

...try not to break anything.

[Someone is having Kohaku flashbacks.]

[binaural]

...It would be foolish to refuse free food like this.

Count me in.

[ritsu_kouyou]

And you are? I'm afraid we haven't talked before.

[binaural]

Opera. I'm not surprised you didn't know, for the last month I've been keeping to myself.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I am Akiha Tohno.

video or action, w/e

[cobbledtogether]

Akiha-sama. Do you want me to provide security?

w/e

[ritsu_kouyou]

I would like that very much. They should be on their best behavior, but the best behavior for some is deplorable for others.

[cobbledtogether]

Understood. I will ensure there are no problems.

[Though if Akiha expects her to eat, too, she'll probably wind up with Lambda in full cyborg armor at the table...]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Thank you.

[And she does expect Lambda to eat. And actually won't be surprised of upset at the battle armor. She'll just tell her she needs to remove her visor. Like a 'no hats at the table' rule.]

[ported]

I did agree to do this, didn't I?

[ritsu_kouyou]

Yes, you did. Did you forget?

[ported]

I might have...

[ritsu_kouyou]

Well, now you've been reminded. I hope you'll prepare yourself properly. If there's anything I can do to assist you in those preparations, let me know. You know I don't understand your magic very well.
