[Video message to everyone:]

Good ...evening. Although it was light just a little while ago. Luministi sure knows how to set a mood!

I've just received an invitation to the festival that I cannot refuse. [She holds up a mask in front of her face for a moment.] Would anyone like to accompany me? Although, it wouldn't surprise me if you've all received an invitation too, in which case I'll see you there! ...Or not, with these masks. Mmm. Well, I'll be wearing this [she holds up the mask again] and a pink kimono. Please wave if you see me!

[Despite her cheerful banter she's quite serious about meeting others because this event has all the potential to be a trap. And danger is best faced as a team.]


[[ooc: I'm hoping one or two others might like to come with Fuu to the arches, but lots of mingling potential before she gets that far!
EDIT: Sophie and Fuu will be taking the right arch (#3) when they get that far ^.^]]

A hundred and-? [his voice drops out from sheer surprise] Your world must be enormous!

Then I'll definitely do my best!

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

[She giggles a little at his expression. His world must be small!]
Perhaps so!

I'm sure it will be awesome. Can you tell me what kind of dance it is?

[desertdaggers]

[not big enough for thirteen million people, even!] There's only really six countries, though there're areas humans don't go.

Most of it's mimicry, with something like a jig.

Your geography and world history classes must be so simple! I'm jealous!

[She does a headtilt at that. Mimicry?]

I suppose I'll have to see it to understand it! To be fair, I couldn't explain square dancing either, though!

[desertdaggers]

I suppose so! [laughs] I had plenty of other things to learn as well, though.

Mm, I think that's the best way to go about it.

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Yes...

[She nods, then glances off to the side for a moment, suddenly not sure what else to say...]

[desertdaggers]

[He gives it a moment, then claps his hand together.] All right! Well, there is a festival going on… we should take a look around! Would you care for company?

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

[She gives him a relieved smile at being saved from that awkward silent lull.
Then at his question she hesitates for a beat, then nods shyly.]

Thank you, Hawk. That would be really nice.

[desertdaggers]

My pleasure! [he beams, the full effect rather lost as he pulls his mask back into places.] Shall we go, then?

[and I think we can just about wrap up there; does that work for you?]

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

[Daintily holding her mask in front of her face she grins.]

We shall!


[[Certainly does! Thank you! ^.^]]
