[ When the broadcast begins, it's with the purple-haired young woman looking as if she had something on her mind. ] You know, it's kind of odd. I expected an invite of some kind for something for the New Year, like last year's ball, but nothing's come in yet. If that's the case... I'm going to host another party at the inn on Monday night starting at sunset. If I figured it out right, that's when the New Year will be.

[ Smiling, Subaru counts off a few items on her fingers. ] I'll try to have food and games there, but if you want anything special for yourself, you'll have to either ask for it, or bring it yourself. The same goes with music or other entertainment! This should be a great way to meet new people, start new friendships, and also relax after all the work you've put in for the play these past few days.

Everyone's invited — you can come alone, with a friend, or even a date — and there's no dress code, but I will have one rule and one rule only, and that is to have fun! No fights. [ She will not have a repeat of what broke out at her birthday party. ] Mmm, that's it, really. I'll be around there the next couple of days tidying up, so if you need me for anything, or have any question, just give me a call! My name's Subaru. [ She waves to the mirror. ] I hope to see you all there!


((OOC: Like the post implies, I'll put a log up for the party this weekend! Possibly even tomorrow, forward-dated, since I have a four day weekend ahead of myself. o/ ))

If you're going to invite everyone, well....do you need help?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Sure, if you want! I'm not expecting it to be too busy, since I'm sure others have their own plans for the New Year and... it feels like this place is growing emptier by the month.

[hectorcantgofast]

Then again, I'm sure there's a lot of people who don't know a new year is on the horizon. Either way, I'll do what I can.

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Maybe not, but if they heard the announcement they will!

[hectorcantgofast]

I'm sure they will. Parties are always fun.

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Mmn! That's the whole point of it. So I hope lots of people come.

[hectorcantgofast]

How many do you expect at most though?

[tookupthesword]

You still staying at that inn? I thought you said you were going to move out.

[of_the_highest_caliber]

I did move out! But since the other party went over so well there, I thought we could just use it again.

[tookupthesword]

Ah, but now you're trespassing.

[of_the_highest_caliber]

It isn't like that, since no one else is using it.

[tookupthesword]

But did you try and find out? [She's just teasing.]

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Hmm, I looked around and didn't see signs that anyone had moved in. [ Since that's where she's broadcasting from though I forgot to say. ]

[heartovertime]

That sounds really nice, Nakajima-san. [Back to using that name again, even if she did use Subaru's given name when she was somehow younger.]

Would you need any help cooking...? [Then again there are the birds, but it's still nice to offer.]

[of_the_highest_caliber]

[ For taking care of her when she was "rewound" like that, Homura can call her whatever she'd like. ] Sure! I want to have a bunch of different things available, since I don't know what everyone would like.

[heartovertime]

I think Madoka and I could come up with a few things we could make.

[She still feels those rice-only days from the last month deep down inside her. Maybe helping to cook a feast with all sorts of dishes will help that tough spot to fade away a bit more than just cooking for two.]

Do you think there will be enough room for us to cook there too? The kitchen was big enough for Horaki-san's lessons, but...

[of_the_highest_caliber]

That sounds good! And yeah, I think there will be enough space. Normally I'd suggest the arena, but it's a little too cold out to be carrying food that far.

[heartovertime]

[Carrying things as well as the temperature are not really issues, but Homura is content to leave it with that reasoning.] Mm, okay.

Hopefully we can show our support for all the actresses for the play this way too.

[of_the_highest_caliber]

[ Subaru beams. ] Yeah! They definitely deserve to take it easy after all of that.

[fionna_time]

Heck yeah, this sounds great!

Need me to do anything?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

I hope it turns out good!

Hmm, not sure what you'd want to do. I have help with cooking, and I'm making good progress with cleaning... can you think of any games we should have?

[fionna_time]

I dunno. Last time I got involved in a game it turned out not so good, remember?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Aheh, I remember... I don't think we'll be playing that game, or anything like it.

[fionna_time]

I didn't mind that game, it just got all personal and junk when it shouldn't.

But what kinda game would we play instead, that everyone would like?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

[ She'd rather not dwell on that incident, or risk it happening again, all the same. ] Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe some kind of guessing games? Like the kind where you draw a picture and your partner has the guess the image, or the same idea but with gestures?
