( Yes, she's getting to be a familiar face around here, but what's more interesting is that Rosa isn't broadcasting from her room, or Camelot, but from a wonderfully floral lake town. )

Hey, again!

So, I was, like, thinking, since we've been working so hard and stuff and it's summer. ... Uh. Well. Um, it's supposed to be summer.

( Right now it's just eternal dusk. )

... Where was I? Right! I wanted to invite everyone to Lord Taichi's town for a lake party! Something relaxing, y'know? There's gonna be food and music and glowsticks, but if you, like, wanna bring your own stuff along that's cool too!

( She takes a minute to show off the lake coast venue for the party before spinning the camera wildly back to herself, remembering the one important rule. )

Oh! Taichi told me that if you argue, you've gotta like, have an acting competition to settle your differences! Don't forget that!

( ooc: The log will be going up on the weekend, most likely! Definitely accepting characters' help in entertainment and food/drink, etc! )

That sounds like a really fun idea. I've wanted to explore the towns our resident lords and ladies have made anyway, so this works well for that too.

[She seems cheerful at the idea. She should ask if Anna and Izumi want to come too... though if it's on Taichi's lands, Izumi already probably knows about it.]

[inkbled]

Right? And it's like totally the season for it! ( She's not sure if it counts as the weather for it any more. It's not exactly cold, and they're gonna have pretty lights, but "eternal dusk" isn't exactly summer vibes, y'know? )

[readytolearn]

Definitely, no matter what the sky says.

I could bring some iced tea with me. I think that's the perfect summer drink.

[inkbled]

Yeah! That'd be perfect! Like, the more we have, the better, right?

[readytolearn]

Definitely. It's better to have too much rather than too little.

[inkbled]

And if there's, like, leftovers, I can use them later!

[readytolearn]

And just like that, nothing will go to waste. A perfect plan.

[inkbled]

I'm, like, a genius, right?

( It's okay to say it when you're just being silly. )

[Zagreus isn't fazed by the eternal dusk thing, if anything this is more of a return to normality for him. But more importantly:]

What's a 'glowstick'? And what would an acting competition entail, exactly?

[inkbled]

Oh!

( Hold, please. She returns, with a glowstick, and cracks it so it lights up. )

These! Aren't they neat?

( As for the acting competition, Rosa was a little confused there too. )

So, um, like, you and the other person both perform a short scene and like, the audience decides whose was better! Um, I think Taichi said you can both invite a few friends to help you and stuff too.

( It's very weird, but apparently a thing??? )

[hellescape]

Ah! I see. [Mortals come up with the darndest things. As for her second explanation, he looks perturbed.]

Wouldn't it be easier to simply settle your disputes by talking? I couldn't imagine bringing that many people into one of my quarrels.

[Much less an audience...]

[inkbled]

Yeah, but Taichi seems to like it? I guess it's, like, better than fighting?

( She doesn't get it either, Zag! But she's not an actor! )

[hellescape]

The kind of people I get into disagreements with would much rather fight it out than be amenable to that suggestion, I'm afraid.

[At least he hasn't gotten into any fights here in Avalon yet, so he doesn't have to worry about it? Probably.]

[inkbled]

( Um.

Hm.

That's... sure a thing you just told her, Zagreus. )

Um... does that, like, happen a lot?

[hellescape]

Often, yes. Usually with my father, though he fortunately hasn't deigned to grace us with his presence here.

[...And sometimes with Meg, though it depends how much their fights are her just doing her job, or how much he's annoyed her that day, but Rosa absolutely doesn't need to know any of that.]

[inkbled]

Y-your dad?!

( Rosa, who has good parents, hates this thank you. )

Isn't that, like, something you call the police about?

[hellescape]

The "police"?

[Not even a magical translator can make sense of this word for him, help.]

[inkbled]

Uh.

( Oh. )

They're, like, people who are employed to keep order and make sure people follow rules.

[hellescape]

Oh. In that case, my father might be considered the Lord of the Police.

He makes the rules, and employs the people who enforce them.

[inkbled]

( ... lord of the police. )

So... that's a no, huh?

[ She's not really surprised to see Rosa looking better - considering how they met, a lot of things would constitute better - but... she really is happy to see her with more energy. ]

I want to help, Rosa-san! What can I do?

[inkbled]

( !! A familiar face! )

Mamo! ( Hm... what help does she need that an eleven year old could do? Big sister delegating mode GO! ) Do you, like, wanna help with decorations? I need to find some cute fairy lights!

[mamowavin]

Yes! [ She nods firmly, then gives a cute little salute. ] Leave it to me!

[ On her end, she's opening up her notes app to write down this incredibly important shopping list. ] Should I look for balloons as well? [ A party needs balloons, after all! ]

[inkbled]

( ! )

That's a great idea! ( They can tie those safely, and prevent littering that way. ) Hm... Maybe some, like, blankets or something? So people can sit down!

[mamowavin]

Yeah! [ She's so excited! She's never been to something like this before!! ] Could we go shopping together, Rosa-san?

[ Sure, she could manage on her own, but it'd be more fun with a friend! ... and her 11 year old arms probably can't carry that many blankets... ]

[inkbled]

( Will Rosa ever say no to spending time with a friend? No. She will not. )

Oh, sure! That'd be a blast!

An acting competition? Gotta say that's one unique way to have people duke it out. Though I don't think everyone here has been gunning for theater class.

[inkbled]

It's pretty interesting, isn't it? I want to see how it works!

( Rosa that means people have to argue. )
