ϡ - Chapter FortySeven; Announcing a very special day! [action|voice|video]

[ The journal’s video feed clicks on to reveal the exterior of House Castle 44, with both Helios and Saori seated outside at one of the little picnic tables in the shade of the stone tower they now call home. It’s been a few days since Saori returned home from her temporary stay with Morrigan, though it’s with bad news. The succubus had left Luceti. After discussing it with Helios, the two of them had figured that addressing that and several other things at once would be a good idea. They both had related business, after all. ]

Good afternoon Luceti.

Helios and I have a few announcements for everyone, and thought it’d be easiest if we just did them all at once.

Firstly, I regret to inform any of her friends that Morrigan Aensland has returned home. She’s left a handful of letters for most of the people that she knew, so if you knew her, please come by House 44 and I’ll pass it on to you.


[ As she finishes, Helios steps in, this time with a bit of good news to break up the bad. ]

Ah, and for my part, I’d like to announce that I’ll be restarting the Magic Club begun by Harry Dresden. We h-haven’t had a meeting for some time, but I think that it’s time we-we changed that, hm? I-I’d like for the first meeting to be a few weeks into July, if that’s alright with everyone? That way we can perhaps incorporate some New Feathers into it as well.

[ There’s another pause as they both look at one another and smile. The last announcement is something a bit fun for both of them, a way to put the troubles of the past few weeks behind them and have a little bit of fun. ]

And finally, we’ve decided to host a party for the Summer Solstice that’s coming up in a few days. We’ll be setting up a little party ground on the shore of the Southern Lake, and there will be food, music, dancing, and other things like that.

[ Saori nods, chiming in cheerily. The Solstice wasn’t a holiday in her native Japan, but there were other meanings it had for her personally, so she’s going along with it. After all, aren’t parties great? ]

Helios and I will be making quite a lot of food, and the weather promises to be absolutely splendid so please think about coming to visit. If anyone else would like to help with the preparations, we won’t turn away volunteers, either.

The Solstice is the 21st, this Friday, so please don’t forget. We’ll be starting with lunch and moving from there.


[ With a smile, Saori clicks off the video feed. But that’s not quite the end of the transmission. Helios adds yet another small announcement, filtered carefully away from a certain someone. ]

Ah, and there’s one more thing. The solstice is also Max’s birthday so…we’d like to have an extra special part of the party be for his birthday. So please mark that on your c-calendar and if you cannot make it send Max a congratulations on another year.

[ Now the feed ends for good. For housemates, people coming for letters, or people just wanting to come by to chat in person both Helios and Saori will be around House 44 all day. Don’t be shy…come on by! ]

[Oh, thank this very real and literal god, a change of topic.]

Fredric. Is that one of the new guys? I don't think I've properly met any of them.

[She's sorry if you feel awkward, Jack but it's an important day, a day to put your troubles behind you. A day she fully intends to capitalize on.]

Yes. Fredric Chopin.

[She pauses, wondering if the name of the famous composer would ring a bell.]

He's a returning resident, a close friend to Helios. He moved in with us this cycle.

. . . Chopin. As in 'classical composer Chopin'?

[He doesn't outright disbelieve, but . . . wow, yeah, that is a lot to take in. He hasn't met any famous historical figures in Luceti yet, at least that he knows of.]

My partner calls it the Hundred Power. I'm a hundred times faster, stronger, and more agile than a regular person. For five minutes.

[He felt no shame in admitting the relative drawback of his abilities. Although he wouldn't openly advertise his skills, he knew that there were records in the library. He just didn't care to remove them.]

I was actually more interested in the Filial magic, after what happened a couple of weeks ago. It would be an interesting way to compensate for any weaknesses, don't you think?

The same.

[The tension in her voice has vanished for the moment, replaced with mirth...and a hint of glee. Knowing Nikola Tesla was one thing, but being friends with Chopin? Another entirely!]

[For a few seconds, Jack is just speechless. Then he just shakes his head, scrubbing a hand over his face to try to compose himself.]

Heck. We really get all sorts here, don't we.

We do. Musicians, wizards, human history given flesh, super heroes, aliens...all sorts of things.

[She taps her chin, growing distant]

In some ways, it's like home. In others...well, I would not be surprised if I got to meet Spiderman one day.

Teleportation-?

[Just like that, Jack's expression lights up, all the concerns of Luceti's abundant oddness momentarily forgotten.]

Heck yeah, I'd like that! It's not too much trouble for you, is it?

[Saori looks at Helios and gives him a considering look. Yes, of course...that would work, wouldn't it? It'd keep Loki away and not interfere with the plans they already had.]

If it is, I can feed him power to activate the sigils myself. We've done that before, haven't we, Helios?

--It's Barnaby.

[He'd tolerate it from Kotetsu because the old man was...the old man. He'd tolerate it from Saori because she'd come up with something more absurd. But, this stranger?

No.]


I just want to know what to do with them is all. That week wasn't exactly a comfortable experience for me, but I doubt that fire is comfortable for many people.

Not...really, no.

[Saori shakes her head, sounding unsure]

I can't imagine it would be.

Some of us could have done without it entirely. [He sighed. It was too late to change the past, and he didn't know what to do with the feelings that lingered after the influence had faded.]

But, it happened. I'm just curious about what it can do.

[He could call up a small flame, afterall. It bothered him, but it was something he could use. What else was there that this place could offer?]

How did you know Pao-Lin-san anyway? It sounds like she's met several people in town.

[As did he, apparently. The irritation over his lack of memories bubbled under the surface when he thought about it, but he couldnt' deny the amount of people who had identified him by name up until this point.

He couldn't forgive it. Memories were such a small thing, but they were more important than people realized.]

Do not worry, Miss Saori. I do not fault you for not being about in the house. And thank you Helios, that means a great deal to me.

Thank you. Things have been strained for me, lately. But the Solstice will be good, we can use it as a way to put our troubles behind us. All of them.

And yes, the piano shouldn't be too hard, I can carry it.

Really, I'd be happy to do anything that's still needed.

[Got a hole in the dessert menu? Too few hands on setup? No one wanting to stay later to clean up?]

Well, cooking and setting things up is what we'll need the most help with, I think.

I wouldn't mind joining the Magic Club, and July's fine with me.

[After the possession fiasco, he's a little more interested in speaking with the Filial spirits. Even if he felt there's an affinity between himself and Twila more than the others. But his nature is probably the reason for that.

Beside, he like to keep himself occupied.
]

I also wouldn't mind volunteering to help out with the preparations as well.

Wonderful, Kouki. Thank you!

[She's really grateful for all the volunteers, that's for sure. There's a lot to be done and she'd been worried about having the time to get all of it complete.]

I'll leave Helios to talk more about the Magic Club, but what sort of volunteering did you have in mind?
