[ 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/ ))

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?

[fionna_time]

Oh, that sounds innocent enough. We could be in teams and everything!

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Yeah! That could work. I'm sure I could find something to keep score on.

[fionna_time]

Awesome!

Just don't go crazy and make yourself tired, ok? We can help too!

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Hehe, I'll be so fired up, I won't have time to be tired. But I appreciate the help, still.

[fionna_time]

I'll be there!

So what else am I gonna see at this party?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

I can't say for sure. I know last year the Queen threw her own ball, and there was also that party at Akiha's place, but I don't think it'll be anything that fancy. [ And she doesn't want to say that maybe people would feel more comfortable at anywhere BUT the Tohno mansion but.... it crossed her mind. ]

[fionna_time]

Aw yeah, I remember those parties...

[Now she was remembering who else had been there back then, and it made Fionna look a little sad].

[of_the_highest_caliber]

[ ...oh no she doesn't! Subaru intercepts with a smile. ] And of course since it's the start of a new year, it's the perfect time to get to know some new people and make new friends, right?

[fionna_time]

Y-yeah, of course! I mean, there are lots of pretty cool people here, just gotta mingle and get to know 'em, right?

[Ok, she's back, focusing. No way would Marcie want her to be sad in a time like this].

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Exactly! I hope lots of new people show up, too, even if it feels like we've been getting less and less newcomers lately. [ Which concerns her a little. ]

[fionna_time]

I'm sure we'll get more! And for this, we just gotta be all open and inviting! It shouldn't be too hard, right?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

[ Subaru has many thoughts on whether or not people come in — or come back — to this place. ] Eheh, maybe so.

And you're right. We just need to do the best we can for the moment. [ Said with an enthusiastic smile. ] So I'll see you there, okay?

[fionna_time]

Have faith!


Yeah, of course! We'll both have plenty of fun!

[of_the_highest_caliber]

That's the plan! [ She beams. ] I'm looking forward to it, Fionna.

[fionna_time]

Cool! See you then!
