[Console] (Video) ❅ The Sixth

[stonebird]

(Alayne presents a rare sight. She is wearing the pants she uses for defense practice and her hair is braided simply so that it coils over one shoulder.)

It is difficult for me to forgo the proprieties and etiquette that I was taught in my world. I feel like I have found a balance since arriving on the Turtle. I am stronger than I imagined.

(And that is a wonderful feeling.)

I want to thank everyone who has been so kind and patient with me. I can honestly say I have never had better friends.

(She will always be wary of someone stabbing her in the back, but even that fear has lessened.)

Would you be amenable to attending a dinner party? All are welcome - even if we haven't spoken - and if you tell me your favorite foods beforehand, I will do my best to prepare them in time.

You've improved impressively, given such a short amount of time.

[ Guess who's been occasionally lurking while you're at the dojo. ]

[stonebird]

Were you watching me...? (Her voice loses some of its confidence. It's not that she minds, but it is embarrassing - considering how she has to move.)

Re: voice;

[denyamenti]

Sometimes. It is my dojo you practice at, after all.

[stonebird]

I never thought I had earned your notice.

video; or action; if Alayne is at the Hotel, whichever's best for you!

[gistful]

Please consider the Hotel at your disposal, if you need it. And if you require any assistance ...

[He's still being forced by Raine and Erskine not to push himself. Hm.]

... feel free to use my name to bully Erskine and Skulduggery into helping you.

action!

[stonebird]

No, please don't push yourself. (She doesn't like the idea of him being hurt, so she has come to visit him in person.) How are you feeling?

action!

[gistful]

I shan't.

[He smiles wryly.]

I'm sure I won't be allowed to. But I am fine; The poison was fast-acting and non-lethal. Erskine is quite overreacting.

action!

[stonebird]

He is allowed to overreact since you are family. (Whenever one of her siblings was sick, everyone was worried.)

[gistful]

Perhaps. But even recovering family members need something to do to pass the time. I'm beginning to think I shan't be allowed even that.

Is there anything you require from the Hotel for your party?

[stonebird]

Food, perhaps, and space for tables, chairs and such. The rest I can do myself.

(She will even make invitations, but that is hard to do by hand in a short amount of time.)

[gistful]

Certainly. Alert me as to the date and time and I will arrange for the dining area to be properly set according to your specifications.

[akito]

You know what we like! [ 'we', because of course Bird is coming too, gosh. ] If you need me to run any errands for you while I'm en route just contact me via radio, ne? I can pick up any groceries you need!

voice;

[stonebird]

(It's not a party without Bird!)

Thank you so much! Is there anything special Bird needs for his diet?

(She doesn't want him to be sick.)

[gathersnomoss]

I wouldn't mind coming. What's the dress code and should I bring something?

The food here is fine, so don't bother making anything special for me.

[stonebird]

There is no dress code. (She can't ask anyone to dress up, though she would be happy if they did.) If you feel like bringing something, it would be welcome. Otherwise, just bring yourself!

[gathersnomoss]

I think I can manage that. I'll see you then.

[stonebird]

I would hope so!
