Hey Celia, I don't know how much interest you have in getting to know your Talemates, but if you do, I was thinking we could get coffee or lunch or something. Let me know.

FILTER TO: EVIE GIRARD

It's been a few days, so I thought I'd check in. Since I haven't received any frantic text messages, I'm assuming your mother hasn't tried to emotionally manipulate you again in such a short amount of time. Please confirm.

FILTER TO: SHARONA CARTER

This is me officially following up about lunch. And your Valentine's Day flower is as beautiful as you are. I have it on my desk at work.

( Well that definitely went quicker with someone to talk to! Even if it started with me assaulting you. )

Thank you to everyone who's donated to the Red Cloak's clothing drive so far! We'll continue taking donations up until Christmas Eve, so if you have any other unused or unwanted clothes laying around, please consider donating them. It's for a great cause, and always appreciated.

[Penny]

I have never been more grateful for the fact that you have enough common sense than to try planning a New Year's Eve ball the second week of December before even picking a theme for it.

You know as Mayor Coleson's last hurrah, he's throwing a huge NYE ball at his home? Well, we have less than three weeks to transform the estate into a 50s Hollywood mansion or a casino.

We just started to discuss the themes tonight.

I'm absolutely amazed the event planning committee ever managed to book a restaurant reservation, never mind organize an entire Remembrance Day Ball.

It's incredible. Truly incredible. I want to give them all a course in event planning and not let them touch another phone until they pass it. I don't care how good they are. New Year's Eve is one of the busiest party nights of the year. Two and a half weeks is simply not enough time.
