[The message: filtered to any of Steph's friends/acquaintances who are, or appear to be, in their late teens.

On screen: one Stephanie Brown curled up in a chair in front of her console, her hair slightly shorter than it was last time she posted to the network, but she's fine aside from that minor change. And, well, that the room behind her isn't the same as it used to be; it's still an Earth Sector suite, just a different building than her previous residence.]

I hope everyone and their possessions escaped the fire unscathed. And if anyone needs help for any reason, please don't hesitate to ask.

[a beat, and then she gestures to the room behind her] Aside from that, I just wanted to let you all know I've got a new address, since my suite is - pretty much gone, and in order to, well, not dwell on the fact a whole bunch of my stuff is now ash, I'm throwing a bit of a housewarming party.

You might've noticed this is video is filtered and encrypted, and that's 'cause I don't really want just anyone showing up at my new suite, so I'm keeping things to people I know and who're around my age. Which is, all of you. [a smile! Doesn't everyone feel lucky to be included] That said, if you have a friend you'd like to bring along, just run their name by me and I'm sure it'll be fine.

Otherwise, party, booze, food, dancing. Two nights from now, starting at sunset and ending whenever you all go home, there's no dress code aside from, you know, actually having clothes on, and while I'll have enough food and drinks for everyone, you're welcome to bring your to share if you're that sort of person. [She pauses to think over whether there's anything she needs to say, but, no, she's sure that's covered everything]

Let me know if you have any questions, and I hope to see you there.

[[OOC: If you're not sure whether your character would be on the filter, send me a PM and we can sort it out!]]

That's kind of you, Stephanie. After everything that's been happening recently, a small celebration would certainly be a good way to take everyone's mind off things.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. It'll be nice for everyone to take a night to kick back and relax.

Do you think you'll join us? [she imagines that Yue probably isn't used to the sort of parties Steph is. Maybe she should warn her?]

I'd like to, though I'm not sure what to really expect. [Yeah, there's the stuff Steph mentioned, but honestly there will probably be more to it and just that. Plus... well, different cultures. What Yue expects from a party and what Stephanie expects are probably two very different things.]

I think it'll be pretty low key, if only becaus there's not all that many of us. There'll be music, so we can dance and maybe a few drinking games if people wanna play some. Other than that it'll probably just be chilling out with food and alcohol, I'm not gonna let things get too out of hand.

I can bring some food or drinks. Is there anything that's...typical for these sorts of celebrations?

[She's never been to a housewarming okay .-.]

Thanks. [Steph's smile is bright, she's glad Yelena is going to come] For food, the general rule is to stick to things that are easy to eat with your hands, so no one has to worry about plates and cutlery and washing up.

For drinks, you can bring some alcohol if you want, or just some soda or juice. [Things you can put alcohol in, essentially, because Steph's not letting anyone drink kenda-alcohol straight]

Oh, that's a really good point.

[So this isn't a...sit down and eat sort of party. Okay.]

I'll see what I can find and bring it by.

[She pauses a beat.]

You said there isn't any dress code so...there isn't any specific sort of outfit we're supposed to wear?

Thanks. [because it makes her life easier if more people than just her are supplying food.]

And nope, no specific outfit, you can just show up in something you're comfortable in. I figure most people will keep it pretty casual, but I'm gonna get a little dressed up, so whatever you wanna wear will be fine.
