C'est La Vie

Who: Jackie OT anyone that she knows
Where: Vito's place
When: July 10, 1941

With her rations and Vito's rations, and a few things they probably shouldn't have had, Jackie was able to put together a pretty nice sized dinner. She probably should have had it at her flat, but it looked better if it was Vito's.

She invited the people who were mostly friends, and told them they could bring a friend. All it was, was a quiet dinner, right? She'd also invited Hans. That might be a problem for some of her guests, but... he was Hans. She felt really bad for some recent events, and she just had to invite him.

Now that dinner was set on the table, all Jackie had to do was find her cat and set her in the cage. Her cat was curled up in a corner, and Jackie KNEW she wouldn't be able to move him.

"Now, Gunju, you're going to have to behave around all these people. I'll give you somethin special later, if you're a good kitty."

The cat looked up when his name was mentioned, but when he saw she didn't have any food, he went back to licking his paws.

Who: Michel OT Hans
Where: The Théâtre de Benoit
What: Hans finds the strange Frenchman
When: Mid-Afternoon

Michel stood among the rows of empty seats, just inside the circle of light cast from the stage, watching his performers nearing the end of the last scene.

" Now, until the break of day,
Through this house each fairy stray,
To the best bride-bed will we,
Which by us shall blessed be;
And the issue there create
Ever shall be fortunate.
So shall all the couples three
Ever true in loving be;
And the blots of Nature's hand
Shall not in their issue stand:
Never mole, hare-lip, nor scar,
Nor mark prodigious, such as are
Despised in nativity,
Shall upon their children be.—
With this field-dew consecrate,
Every fairy take his gate;
And each several chamber bless,
Through this palace, with sweet peace;
E'er shall it in safety rest,
And the owner of it blest.
Trip away:
Make no stay:
Meet me all by break of day."

He smiled as Alec hit every line perfectly. He turned his eyes to Jean-Pierre as he began Puck's last monologue.

Who: Gretchen OT Hans
Where: Starting at Hans' Place
When: July 8, 1941, Early Evening

Gretchen stopped by Hans' house, hoping to see him. Ever since his friend left town, he had been in a blue mood. Of course, getting shot hadn't helped matters at all. She was glad that he was finally able to go back to work, but now he was either at work or sitting around at home and doing nothing. She didn't realize how close him and Marie-Pierre were, but they must have been the best of friends for him to be moping like this.

Gretchen knocked on his door, hoping that he was inside. Of course, if he wasn't, maybe that meant that he had decided to stop moping about and go out. She wasn't expecting him to do such a thing, though. However, if he was still inside, he was going to go out with her whether he wanted to or not. You shouldn't spend all of your free time alone in a house.
