[ Louis appears on the camera, and behind him is a very empty looking room at the inn. Perfect - just how he decorates. He leans back into a chair and has his arms folded over his chest. ]

I was away for a few months and things got bad here, it looks like. I think I have the short version of what happened, and I don't need all of the details. Besides, that's not why I'm here on the network.

[ He considers and then -- ]

In December, at home, we have a Holiday called Rexmas. It's to be spent with families and loved ones, gift giving, that sort of thing. I wager other places have similar holidays, and if you want - you can share what yours are. I'm admittedly a bit curious. December is always busy and eventful for me, and this is the first year in many where I don't anticipate being busy, so I don't know what to do with myself.

Which made me get an idea, which I suspect that a lot of people will like.

[ His tone doesn't shift, and his attention seems solidly on the camera. His tone is...formal, almost stern. ]

I'm thinking that the first weekend of December we should have a party for everyone. A formal party, or maybe a masquerade? Maybe let me know what sounds more fun for you. An opportunity for people to dress up in something nice and enjoy each other's company. To drink, and dance, and party, essentially.

I've worked to organize events like this at home many times before, so I have no problem securing a location, and working to organize the event. As long as others are willing to volunteer to help with setup of it.

[ He unfolds his arms, and his body seems to relax. He smiles a little. ]

That being said, I want to make sure everyone can fully enjoy themselves, and it's a safe event. So I do have a few things that I want to ensure are absolutely going to be rules.

First, children under the age of sixteen will be forbidden to stay after nine in the evening. Second, all weapons are to be left at home. Third, no fighting with magic, either. Magic may be used for the purpose of entertainment at the event.

Again, I want a peaceful, safe event - so these are the only real non-negotiables. Beyond those, I'm open to suggestions, contributors. That's sort of thing.

Oh, Horus. You think I don't already know of all the dirty little secrets of what the adults get up to? I clean up after them, in between the times I am sent out to fight.

I could probably tell you a few things.

[He'll just artfully omit any response to the notion about him getting his turn. That isn't a conversation he wants to have right now.]

You may come find me when you tire of it. Perhaps I could spare some of my evening for a bit of sport. Assuming you're in any shape to pursue it.
hor: (confidence)

I worry the adults you interact with are strange in the head.

[ Walter's not exactly normal even by more modern world standards, Horus can only assume. ]

Just what do you think I'll be getting up to then, expert of adults?
angel_of_death: (Nope not listening)

[personal profile] angel_of_death 2021-11-17 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Horus isn't entirely wrong. The adults Walter knows are indeed strange in the head.]

Oh, I don't know what you'll be getting up to. But adults tend to do one of several things:

[Lifting a hand, he extends his fingers one by one, counting off each point.]

Get rat-arsed drunk. Sneak off somewhere to have sex. Or stand around talking, no different from what they'd be doing otherwise.

...What is it you think teenagers do?
angel_of_death: (So you say)

[personal profile] angel_of_death 2021-11-17 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
...I don't really have experience with teenagers.

[Despite being one.]

But they seem to frequent the dance halls, so I should think more dancing, and perhaps dividing their attention to matters of sex between sex and snogging.
hor: (victory)

[personal profile] hor 2021-11-30 10:39 am (UTC)(link)
Then I shall add it to our list of experiences I intend to give you!

[ His wasn't exactly normal either but he's 100% down for using the fact that he's still a teen-going-on-adult to drag Walter into whatever shenanigans he decides to declare are teenager things. ]
angel_of_death: (This isn't happening)

1/2 This'll be glorious

[personal profile] angel_of_death 2021-11-30 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wait. What?

Did he just.

Did he just really? Did Horus just really say that? Plain for all to hear and see, on a public network?]
angel_of_death: (Do not touch butler)

[Walter gives the message a second play. He did. He really, truly did. Clutching the phone, Walter's face starts to flush, pink blooming over moon-pale skin.]

Mister Horus.

[He sounds scandalized.]

Do you even realize how that sounds?!
hor: (rubs on him)

[personal profile] hor 2021-12-01 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
Bad enough to blow you back using the wrong title? I like it when you call me my name, Walter~

...Horus...!!!

[Good job. He's definitely red now.]
hor: (victory)

[personal profile] hor 2021-12-05 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
You look good in red, Walter. You should wear one of those suits in that color.
