'Sup, Camelot Crusaders? I heard through the grapevine that the animal-mage-hunt is dead and done with, which means it's time for me to announce the party I promised - and a McDuck never breaks a promise! So this weekend, I'm hosting a gig in the Brocéliande forest to celebrate animal mages for all the hard times they went through last month - why there? Because this party's all about animal mages and animal folks like me, so I figured the closer to nature, the more animal-like we all are! ... Plus I just thought it was cool to throw a party in the woods where spirits hang out. How is that not cool?

But you don't need to have feathers or talk to squirrels to come chill, everyone's invited. 

Be there, be fair, or be square! 

Oh, and one last thing - I know by now humans and human-like people inhabit like... almost all the worlds apparently, whatever. So don't think I don't notice when you guys stare at me. It's totally cool, and I get it - so don't be afraid to ask me stuff about it! It's really okay! We're all the same on the inside! ... I assume!

[ Aw.. That's a sweet thing for Della to offer, Minako thinks. Especially since the other was already nice enough to offer to help her out last month too.. Doesn't that mean she ought to be doing something in return now? ]

Della! Are you sure you can set up a big party like that all by yourself? If you need some help, I can come help out.

[sos_pilot]

Hey, the more the merrier! What can you bring to our shindig, Miss Minako?

Do people stare?

[The question comes paired with a raised brow. Of course, Balthier comes from a world with a great many more races within it than humes alone, so the idea of someone resembling an animal who can walk and talk the same as anyone else— well, it's hardly far-fetched.]

Quite rude of them, if you ask me.

[sos_pilot]

[ She shrugs one shoulder, not terribly bothered. ]

Eh, I'm used to it. And it's only fair, I did plenty of staring when I first came here. We don't have any humans in my world.... outside of a really messed up genie's wish...

I hope your celebration goes well!

[ For as often as Gareth was compared to a puppy or a wolf, she knew well she was something of an outsider in that situation and best not to just assume she was part of it. But more importantly... ]

I think part of the reason your status as a duck person never occurred to me as something strange likely has to do with some of the Heroic Spirits back in Chaldea having beastly forms. None were ducks, certainly, but there was a horse!

[sos_pilot]

I'm pretty sure it will go great - if my teach is there!

[ there's her invite! But then she pauses as she thinks...]

... Y'know, horse people aren't a thing in my world either. Unless you count Manny. Or the kelpies.

You're not doing the cooking, right?

[He teasingly grins into the camera. Sup, Della?]

god i can't

[beaumains]

[ Maybe he was just teasing, maybe he wasn't but Gareth felt compelled to whiteknightstep in all the same. ]

I'll have you know as her instructor in the kitchen that she's come a great deal! She can definitely cook!

[sos_pilot]

[ She laughs, knowing she earned that. ]

Not to worry, I'm getting extra help all around!

I definitely understand where you're comin' from with the staring thing.

[sos_pilot]

Oh yeah, you of all people do. Maybe you should wear a sign that says "Yes, it's a gun".

Thank goodness that it is over. I was worried that the ones responsible for it wouldn’t be caught.

A party does sound like a great idea. Is there anything I can do to help?

[sos_pilot]

Sure, the more the merrier! What can you bring to the party? I'll take anything!

[leicesters]

Sounds fun! I'll be there for sure.

And it's nice of you to let people ask you questions. People won't understand what they don't know, after all, so it makes perfect sense.

[sos_pilot]

Might as well get all the awkwardness out of the way, right? Besides, if we were all exactly the same, it'd be super boring!

[forbothofus]

I'm so glad! Thanks for letting us know.

[ He's concerned about the party location, but Della seems to have her mind made up. ]

A party is a great idea. ... But let's be careful, since it's Brocéliande forest. Have you picked out a spot?

[sos_pilot]

Of course! And I hear that if you use magic in the woods, it goes totally wayward... Isn't that exciting?

[ If Emil thinks "she also chose this spot because it could be dangerous", he would not be wrong. ]

[pricklybloom]

Yeah, I did notice a bit of that before. [ She'd arrived near the tail-end of all that happening, but she recalls getting a few dirty looks once in a while. ] Glad to hear that it's all over, though.

A party does sound pretty fun too. You need us to bring anything?

[sos_pilot]

Bring anything you think would make for a good time!

... You know, speaking of awkward questions, I do have one for you, if you don't mind?

Is a party really necessary? It seems silly.

[sos_pilot]

[ She gives him A Look, and then goes into theatrics. ]

Oh, you're right? What ever was I thinking? I'll cancel everything, because the wise and wondrous Shadow has declared it so!

[trueltning_fury]

People stare at you? Assholes.

[he hasn't had a chance to address this, what a perfect opening. DUCKS. Bring him ducks he loves his Duck Clan friendos]

[sos_pilot]

... Uh, thanks? I think?

[ Not sure how to take someone offended on her behalf. ]

But it's no big deal, really! I used to stare at humans all the time!

[madcuriosity]

I would like to RSVP that I am attending, Della! [Usually, as far as Alice knows, invitations should be more formal, but she can understand how Della may not know where everyone lives and this extends this as the invite.]

And why would they stare? You're no different than Mr. Hare, Mr. Rabbit, the Dormouse, Mr. Lion, Mr. Gryphon, and many other animals I've met.

[sos_pilot]

Well, Alice, turns out in a lot of worlds, they don't have any of those talking animals. Just humans! Can even your huge imagination imagine that?
