Midsummer Ball Announcement

[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?

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

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

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

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. ]

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

Not really, mostly the ones from the gardens. Arranging them isn't too hard, there are some florists in the city who have volunteered to help as well.

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

[ 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?

I can refer you to a tailor. Surely you've worn a suit before?

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

I don't remember the last time I did.

[ And that is sadly honest. ]

[Oh thank goodness. Professionals.]

I've been to the flower shops before. Their displays are always so pretty.

Maybe I can ask Adrien for help. He might have a better chance at knowing what to do.

[Based on what she knew of his family's business.]

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.

I sometimes have that same problem.

[But that was a somewhat unique case]

You can make a new memory then.

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

That's a good idea.

[ He sincerely doubts that, but he's willing to let it go for now. ]

I'll be there.

[ So defeated. He's goin but he won't enjoy himself, so there! ]

Good.

Oh, is that all? Then perhaps I'll ask.

Only if I don't invite her.

But I will need the name of that tailor. Especially if he can make one armed suits.

[ Is that a joke? That's a joke. ]

His name is Jaquob. His shop is in the Fire Sector.

Thank you.

[ He's dragging Conan along. If he has to go, so does the short stack. ]

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... ]
