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.

[If only his 'happy to help' translated to the Ball..]

I certainly hope that nothing goes wrong, but I'm preparing for it anyway.

[Take it as you will, Valdis. He sighs as if greatly put upon.]

I suppose it will be less dreadful than many of the parties I've attended in my home world. [It wouldn't end in all the guests dead by his hand, for example.] Will there be alcohol, at least?

[redlightgreenlight]

[Valdis certainly hoped it would be a good party, without murder, please.]

There will be, yes. Is there a particular kind I should be sure to have in stock?

[annihilist]

The kedan have something resembling bourbon that I've found myself partial to. I hope whomever is tending bar knows some of us have rather high tolerance for alcohol.

[He'd hate to be cut off before it was reasonable.]

[High tolerance...well, considering she couldn't get drunk.]

I'll see if I can hunt it down, but I'm afraid that the bartender will have the final say when it comes to being cut off.

[annihilist]

I'll just have to ensure I don't appear drunk. It would take a lot, in any case.

What time should we arrive?

[He'd ask about carrying weapons later, when they weren't on a public network.]

The event starts at three, but I would like officers to be there by one so we can go over tactics.
