Midsummer Ball Announcement

[redlightgreenlight]

[Valdis appears happier than people might be used to seeing. She has a genuine smile gracing her features, and a sly look in her eyes.]

I am happy to announce that on August twenty first, we will be having a Midsummer Ball at the Courtyard of Public Opinion. Everyone is invited and it is sure to be a wonderful evening.

Formal attire is a must. I have the names of a few tailors that do excellent work if anyone is interested.

[Because who doesn't love pretty dresses and suits]

For security, I will have KPD officers working the event and all foreigner officers are required to attend in order to help keep an eye on things.

[And no, there is no getting out of it.]

Weather permitting, events will start around three in the afternoon. Anyone who would like to volunteer for setup is welcome to help. We will be setting up the night of the twentieth with finishing touches added the next day.

Thank you.

You don't think it's going to be a little hot for formal dress, khapshemet?

Well, Hvit Hevner, you could always go shirtless...as long as you wear a tie.

[denyamenti]

If you want to lead by example, I will strongly consider it.

Why Bakura, if you wanted to see more, you could have just asked...but I think there's a certain young lady who might disapprove.

[Parties weren't necessarily her thing, but...]

I can help set up for a few hours the day before.

Thank you, Midii. I would love your help with the flowers.

I'll...try to do my best.

[Despite how obvious the specific mention should have been, she still seemed slightly surprised by it.]

I'm much better at grinding them into medicines and cooking spices than I am arranging colors. Do you have any particular flowers in mind?

Is that mandatory?

[ Look. He's not sociable at the best of times. And parties... parties aren't his thing any more. Maybe once, but he'd planned on going back into the freezer for a reason. ]

Re: Video

[redlightgreenlight]

I believe that's a synonym of the word 'required', yes.

Re: Video

[protivvyter]

[ No, mandatory means he has to come and be sociable. Required means he can lurk in a tree like a creeper.

... There's a difference.

He sighs. ]

I haven't been to a party in.... a long time. What constitutes formal attire?

[spoilsfun]

That foreigner officer thing doesn't apply to me, right?

[redlightgreenlight]

You are a member of the KPD, are you not? I need all hands on deck.

[spoilsfun]

I guess I'll be there then.

[He's fully expexcting to be bored. He'd gotten dragged along to so many parties in his life... ]

Uhh... how many layers are required for something to be formal?

Re: video;

[redlightgreenlight]

I'm not sure I understand the question...

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

[ It's a pretty weird question, to be fair. ]

Zatanna's probably gonna drag me anyway-- [ hardly protesting ] --but if this is going to be something that needs a full suit, I'm going to start melting before hour two.

What's the occasion?

Re: Video

[redlightgreenlight]

Do we need one?

[commandandcontrol]

[ She thinks for a moment. ]

Yes?

[ You can't just throw a party for no reason, that's ridiculous. ]

[annihilist]

[Dryly:] Must I?

[redlightgreenlight]

How do so many people not know the meaning of the word 'required'?

[annihilist]

Selective hearing.

I am so excited! This is awesome. The last one was super mega fun, I'm so glad you're doing another one. Ooh, do you need any help organizing? Do I have to be on duty the whole time, though? Kinda hard to party when you're keeping an eye out for crashers.

[redlightgreenlight]

I'm glad someone in the KPD is excited. Don't worry, we'll take shifts so everyone can have some time to enjoy themselves.

[lasergrenades]

Are you kidding? I love parties.

Okay, cool. I want to make sure I can get at least some dancing in, but I should probably make sure I still know how to waltz, I haven't tried since last year. [She can also make sue of the leg-holstered dagger Solomon gave her, so she's armed. There's also Vee, of course. Speaking of:] Vee can be on duty even if I'm not, actually. Kinda cool sort of having eyes in the back of my head.
