It's going to be my birthday soon! August fourth, to be exact!

_{[Yes, hello. Sorry Nysa once again for being subjected to Diva. Here she is, the backdrop of her video one of the Nadril caves, (pre-lit thanks to the natives), which wouldn't be anything special if it didn't look so...warm. Diva's wearing nothing more than a simple white dress with blue accents and upon closer inspection at what's behind her there's green growing on the cave floor, along with what looks to be a hardy species of wildflower peeking out from various cracks in the rocky floor.]}

I'm going to be a hundred and seventy...um..._{[Yes, you heard her right.]} a hundred and seventy five? Maybe six or seven? I don't really know exactly but you can't fit that many candles on a cake so does it really matter?

_[Haha.]

Anyway! I found this really warm cave and I want to have a masquerade party in it! My lover helped me barter for food, instruments and even drinks! I also found an old record player with a few records, but I'm not sure how to use it...Surely someone can figure it out, no?

_{[And if you don't believe her - wait for it - she'll show off her hoard of goodies. There are indeed a few crates of food items, bottles of various types of alcohol and even what appears to be an old upright piano and a few acoustic guitars and one or two other unopened instrument cases. There also seems to be a box full of various fancy party masks as well. Yep, she wasn't joking.]}

I need singers, musicians, dancers, cooks, people who can mix drinks and others willing to do some heavy lifting! I have a box of decorations too so if you've an eye for decor I want your assistance as well!

_{[Anyone want to blow up some balloons?]}

You don't have to worry about dressing too fancy and as long as I don't want to kill you you're invited so please do come and RSVP!

_{[ooc: mingle now up!]}

oh yoshiko-chan already said something i guess
but yeah we perform if you want!

OH I'm glad

[kikoku]

[he's not trying to stop her, no. It's just sort of his job as a doctor to make sure everyone stays alive, which... she said she's not looking to kill anyone, so as long as she sticks to that, it shouldn't be a problem. That said, he can't let her get things twisted;]

I'm not interested in you, I'm interested in your body.
[... WAIT, PHRASING.]

That is- in how it functions differently from a human body. As a doctor it's my business to know these things.
[He's.... so glad this is only audio, the embarrassment is less palpable that way.]

\owo/

[colorature]

_{[She's kind of gone past her killing quota lately so...best to scale things back for awhile.]}

Oh?

_{[Good thing you clarified. Even so, she doesn't exactly seem all that amused. It's not the first time she's been told by a man that he's interested in her body due to ~science~.]}

Then maybe you should talk to Solomon. He's a doctor too. Or was.

_{[Before he was turned into a Chiropteran and essentially became her babysitter.]}

You'll find I'm very much not human at all.

[colorature]

yeah i do!!
i mean i can sing quite well but it would be nice to have others perform at my birthday
not just myself!

[hellzone]

In that case, you should sing with us! The more the merrier—and heck, we can teach you one of our songs if needed.

[sakabroto]

A birthday party, huh? Dunno how much I can help, but if you need it, you know I'm there.

[There's just oooone little thing.]

...There ain't a lotta people here you wanna kill though, is there?

[colorature]

Ryuji!

_{[Ah, her impromptu hairdresser. How nice to hear from him again!]}

Are you good at decorating? _{[Because if so, he can certainly help her in that regard.]} And uh... _{[Pause. Let her think for a second.]} Actually, I can't think of anyone off the top of my head, so no, not really!

_{[Then why even say such a thing in the first place?! Diva please...]}

[colorature]

Oh...really? Ah, that'd be really fun I think. I've never sung with others before. Just solo.

[sakabroto]

[THAT'S....GOOD....]

Um, I could give it a hand. I know some people who're good at art and stuff? It must've rubbed off on me somehow, right?

[shikomizue]

Sounds like it'll be a good time.

You'll end up with quite the interesting group of guests.

[If Diva doesn't want to kill them they can come - but there are plenty of people Takasugi could get into it with that she's cool with.

Hm.

He'll try to stay out of trouble(?)]

[colorature]

_{[She's a good girl, okay! She's on a murder hiatus since the dragon...taking it easy...]}

I think you'd do well! I thought you seemed pretty cool when you helped me with my hair.

_{[And by that she means you seem to have a 'style' of some sort, whatever that may be.]}

[sakabroto]

[murder...hiatus....]

Heh, thanks! Good t'know I got your vote of confidence. So what kinda style you lookin' for at the party?

[colorature]

_{[It's fine...]}

It's going to be a masquerade! You know, with dancing, music, intrigue, mystery and masks!

_{[Yes Diva, the last part should be obvious, thank you.]}

I have some here that people can use, but if you ever want to make your own mask you can!

[sakabroto]

[Masks are the one thing he's got on lock.]

Ah, nah, I think I got that part down.

But masquerade parties can have all kinds of themes! Fancy ball, thieves, you know? What kind are you wanting?

[colorature]

Thieves? That's a bit of a strange theme, don't you think?

_{[Unless it's like..bandits and pirate themed or some shit.]}

Hmm...well, I'm leaning more toward the fancy side of things. Decadent. Indulgent. Royal.

But there are constraints of course...that come with the venue.

_{[Too bad she can't Elsa some ice castle shit. Alas.]}

[sakabroto]

N-no?! I mean, they wear masks, right? It's totally a masquerade theme!

[PLZ BE CONVINCED]

But I guess you're more of a fancy party girl, huh? I can see what I can do. All kindsa things you can do, no matter the venue.

[colorature]

I guess that's true. Thief masks always reminded me of raccoons though.

_{[And their little grabby hands. There's a quick thought spared for Rocket but she pushes it aside.]}

Mm, I'm quite fancy. _{[That gets a little laugh out of her.]} What sort of ideas do you have, Ryuji?

[sakabroto]

Cool thieves got all kindsa fun masks - not just that old bandit kind.

[Is he a little defensive? Maaaaybe.]

And I guess fancy stuff? Like thick carpets and wall hangings - see if we can get a couple sculptures up in there. I, uh...don't really know fancy very good.

[colorature]

I guess there's some intrigue to a thief. There's something romantic about it too, now that I think about it - a masked man, stealing ladies' jewels and hearts in the dark of the night!

_[Haha.]

Oh! Perhaps an ice sculpture! Although it might melt...even so, the idea is nice.

Maybe the theme ought to be more fantasy driven, like Shakespeare's a Midsummer Night's Dream.

[sakabroto]

Oh heck yeah! Thieves are hella romantic. They steal hearts and jewels at the same time, right? And they can be hella fancy, too. You should see--

[WAIT NO. DON'T MENTION THE PHANTOM THIEVES]

--some of the old movies about that stuff.

But if they're gonna melt... yeah maybe not a great idea.

....What's Midsummer Night's Dream? Is that a movie?

[colorature]

You seem rather passionate about thievery...are you scheming to steal my heart?

_{[Okay she's just fucking with you but still, his reactions so far have proven to be pretty great more often than not.]}

It's a play...you've never heard of Shakespeare? Romeo and Juliette? Macbeth?

[colorature]

i hope so!!!
youre coming right

[sakabroto]

N-no!

[Not that-- UGH. His face goes red again and he's glad he doesn't have his video turned on.]

I mean, not that I'm not totally for older ladies and all - and not that you ain't pretty!! - but I kinda got a girlfriend who could snap me in half if she wanted.

[But the other part??]

Uh... I know the Romeo and Juliet one. That was kinda sad though?

[colorature]

Oh? Who is she? I could snap you in half too if you're into that. I mean, I've a lover but I don't see that as a restriction!

_{[Yeah she's just...going to keep teasing you. Sorry not sorry.]}

I suppose it was sad. They were kind of stupid though.

[sakabroto]

I'M REALLY NOT INTO THAT. PLEASE DON'T TELL HER I'M INTO THAT.

[He didn't mean to shout that as loud as he did, but it sure did come out that way.

Why are girls so damn scary all the time?? is it in their DNA???????]
