[switches her communicator on after a moment]

Merry Christmas Eve! [beaming] I had this idea - [wait she shouldn't say it out loud] I mean, I'd like to know what everyone's favorite flowers are. Mine are sakura blossoms!

[filtered from Lelouch]

Especially for Lelouch-san... Does anyone know what his favorite is?

Does anyone know where I can buy a bicycle? And if the place takes yen?

[Karkat is glaring quite comfortably at the camera. He’s sitting on the floor, back against the wall, and very perceptive viewers will notice that he is squatting in Terezi’s home. In fact, he’s currently holding one of her possessions - a purple scalefriend. A couple more of the stuffed dragons are strewn around his feet.]

Hey, asshole. Welcome to Karkat’s ‘Romance for Morons’ show. It’s a one-time special event, just. For. You.

[He punctuates each word by stabbing his finger against the camera. He seems to think he has locked this only to Eridan.]

Now, listen the fuck up. This little lint-stuffed bitch - [He hefts up the purple scale friend] - is you. Right, Eridan? He’s going to represent what you should do in a relationship, and also to illustrate how piss-wrong you are at them right now.

Got it? Good.

Good afternoon, Marina. For those of you privileged enough to sleep through yesterday morning's incident, my name is Kyouya Ootori and I am the Vice President of the Marina Asylum Host Club, which will be having it's first meeting shortly in the Education Center. Tamaki assures me that he's already announced his intentions of forming a Host Club within the facility, but I would like invite all those interested in joining the Host Club to attend this meeting.

If you should have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I would be happy to answer them.

[action]
[Kyouya's hijacked one of the larger rooms and is currently sitting at the table with his precious laptop that he's reclaimed in front of him. There's a small stack of papers next to him, mainly forms for the new members as well as general rules and guidelines. The set up is fairly standard - chairs, tables, assorted snacks, a tea set. Not as fancy as he was used to, but it would have to do for now.

Assuming Tamaki wasn't completely incompetent when recruiting, there should be a few people filtering through the door about now...]


((OOC: Everyone is welcome to comment on the video! And show up at the meeting, though you may get strange looks if you are of the female persuasion. Also, both handwaving and backtagging are perfectly acceptable if you are currently too busy to tag. And because this is the Host Club, there may be threadjacking everywhere.))

[Late, sometime after ducking out of Lelouch's party, she's sitting on her porch smoking.]

With the way time moves around here I guess that would make around now Hanukkah. Maybe a little past. Hmm.

[No, she's not wishing you all a Happy Hanukkah. Just...acknowledging it.]

Afternoon, Marina. [ Someone sounds a little more tired than usual. He looks it, too, which is exactly why this isn't a video feed. ] Neil here. I just wanted to let all my students, and any potential newcomers, that the soccer class that is scheduled for day 94 -- as well as all other scheduled classes for the next few weeks -- are cancelled because of the weather. There's only so much indoor practice we can have, ne?

There will be no change to the schedule for the Astronomy class, I just recommend appropriate warm weather wear for the outdoor classes. [ Chuckling. ] We'll bring the hot cocoa. And if it's snowing, we'll hold the classes indoors at the Education Center.

[ Those announcements made, there's just one more bit of business to get to today before he puts it off any longer. ]

[ There's a lengthy pause before he even begins to speak. This is... not going to go the same way as his first conversation, is it? No, this Setsuna doesn't know -- doesn't remember -- what happened before. Lyle told him, when the shift change happened, to brace him for what was to come and, in a way, he's glad that his brother was the first to intercept the new arrival.

Re-arrival?

Christ, this was going to be hard, no matter how he spun this. ] Setsuna? It's Lo-- [ No, wait. ] Neil.

[ papers rustling; distinctly unamused voice ]

... this isn't funny. I need to get back to work.
