[theearth]

Who: EVERYONE! including Mrs Kaufmann and Rose Bonbright
When: October 11th, starting 6 p.m.
Where: The museum that is attached to the town-hall of Füssen, specifically the Kaisersaal.
What: Mingle and happy welcome!

Through the usual channels, the mayor of Füssen has invited any and all numbered - no matter if they are only visiting for the evening/weekend and actually reside in Locke or Vegas or if they are staying for longer - to attend a little reception at the Kaisersaal in the town museum which is attached to the townhall.

Aka this snazzy room just with the chairs grouped around tables and no stage, though four musicians play quartets on a low podium at the side of the room. It's a very distinguished affair don't screw it up, you can do it, numbered! No, we don't know who believes that, either.

Mingle and eat and have fun!

And a note: Drinks are free! But the youngsters will get carded, and alcohol like beer will only be served to 16+ people, while spirits and other higher percentage booze will only be served to 18+ people.

Arthur will find her just nodding along enthusiastically. Already, she seems to have forgotten the weirdness of his new profession simply by the energy he's putting into it. "Right, right! Then if they're happy, they can make other people happy too!"

[purestambition]

She blinks. Having been drinking or not, Arthur's still on the money. Enough that Saretha, in a rarity, actually relents and nods. "That I will see you. As we speak, there are those plotting our demise... Though one hopes they are far away from here, for now."

Saretha's no fool, of course - hope or not, she's still playing this whole affair cautiously. Giving everyone a certain amount of scrutiny.

"Harder to punch kin," Hajime reasons with a nod. He can respect that. He'd never hurt any of his immediate family, even if he had a couple of cousins he wanted to deck every now and then.

[italktofish]

"EXACTLY!" Arthur beams. "It's like THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING!"

[wonk]

They are the size of dogs chill the fuck out.

[polizeilich]

[Hallbach looks at Graibiger, who is still kind of shaken. She is as well, but is less obvious about it]

Sorry. It isn't every day fantasy creatures turn out to be real.

[prismaticdestruction]

[A slight nod, just the idea of it...]

What if...Never mind...

[Going to stop that line of thought with her chewing on her finger.]

[prismaticdestruction]

Uh huh. Have you talked with anyone else who is here so far?

[scarlet_devil]

Hey, it'll be fine...

[Emi has some of her own worries, of course, but she doesn't voice them.]

[prismaticdestruction]

[For a moment, she'll take her fingers out of her mouth.]

I know. I'm...kinda scared but it comes with everything and being Numbered. But I don't want anyone to get hurt.

[Which meant any other numbered, Her Dad and Sister, her Aunt and Uncle. She wanted to keep everyone safe..even if it meant she'd be scared from now on. And back to chewing on her finger again.]

He smiles in return, finding the mayor more likable as their conversation progress. Unlike some people, she seem genuinely concern with her people and city. "I wouldn't dare to claim it as mine. It's true the Orbital Elevator originated from the world of my other self but, I doubt it was his. I'll help with the operation but I won't interfere with your government's sovereignty. If I believe actions taken in regard to the Orbital Elevator would affect the structure in negative manners, I would share my opinions but I think that's all I can do. You and your government has been very kind to us, I wouldn't dare to impose on your hospitality any further."

[darkhourdear]

A couple of people. Toushirou’s here, and I brought Floweregg, and... oh! I talked to the mayor. She seemed really nice.

[wonk]

Like I said, they aren't tryna kill us. That's a plus.

Maybe still call animal control though.

[polizeilich]

Might be for the best. Thank you, Roxy. Do you need an escort back to the party?

[wonk]

Nah, I'm good, I can walk a few blocks by myself. Thanks for bringin' me out here, though. Good luck with catchin' these things. I'll send people your way if they find anybody.

[And with a wave, she walks off.]

[prismaticdestruction]

Ah, I'll have to go say hello when things are quiet.

Huh...I didn't see the mayor, I talked to the other lady. She said something about a weird cat someone saw.

[darkhourdear]

A weird cat? [He brought Floweregg, but she’s clearly a dog so.] What was weird about it?

[icy_heavens]

Shocking. [Driest tone in the world, man.]

[icy_heavens]

"If I try to smile, it'll look weird; I can't pull that off." Yes, he's being completely serious, here. He does not know how to convincingly fake-smile. People would be able to tell it's not quite right. He's quite sure of that, whether it reflects reality or not.

He'll allow the contact, but only because it's her. "Suspicion is a renewable resource."

Dear god, that almost sounds like a joke.

[icy_heavens]

[He frowns a little.] Strange sightings are how it starts everywhere; the giant monsters just come at the end. It might not be smart to just dismiss everything so casually.

[... Yeah, you totally sound twelve, Toushirou.]

[prismaticdestruction]

It had wings and scared someone so she didn't want to drive home..that and it had mountain roads.

[darkhourdear]

...Is she sure it was a cat? [that doesn't sound like a cat.]

[starlightheart]

Natalie clenches a fist and very nearly punches it into the air, but refrains. "That's right! With that sort of attitude, we can do anything!"

Someone.

Someone, please.

Separate these two.

[knights_king]

"People kept sayin' I should have," He sighed, rubbing his cheek with the back of one hand. "What about you? Got any brothers that grind you up inside?"

[italktofish]

[This just gets a big laugh out of Arthur.]

So ARE you having a good time? If you aren't, I CAN HELP!
