It's Showtime! Time to Begin!

[hathasacat]

WHO: Lyney, Lynette, and You
WHERE: A Lounge Stage… Somewhere
WHEN: Late January
WHAT: A Little Introductory Word Game
WARNINGS: N/A

[ Elevator-riders today may notice an out of place card stuck on one side of the elevator, with the words "We invite you to Floor 11." Those who follow the guidance of the mysterious card and travel to the floor will find a trail of playing cards leading them to the floor's lounge, which has been brightly decorated in cat-themed decor of red and teal. There is also a gray and teal porcelain tea set on the table; the fragrant aroma of a rich black tea fills the air. There are also plates filled with shortbread cookies, scones with jam and small finger sandwiches.]

[ At the small stage in the center of the lounge are two similarly-dressed figures, smiling brightly (well one of them is) as people trickle in. The male of the pair steps forward to give a bow and a flourish of his arms. ]

Welcome to our welcome party, for us! We're so honored you could make it!

To help ourselves get settled in, we invite you to some tea and snacks made by my wonderful sister Lynette. Or to come and chat with myself, the humbly charming Lyney.

But if that isn't enough to keep things interesting, we invite you to play a game with us. A simple word game, of course, nothing complicated for our first meeting. Simply take the last word of our sentence and start your next sentence with it, and we will do the same. The first one to trip up is the loser! I must warn you though, my sister has a sharp way with words.

Ahem, now please enjoy yourselves and welcome to our starting show!

But not necessarily victory.

[hathasacat]

Sometimes the match is much more enjoyable than the victory.

[cathasahat]

[ Getting her own cup of tea, as well as a plate piled high with dessert because She Deserves It. ]

I'll have to remind you of that next time you lose a game against Freminet or the others.

[hathasacat]

[ He's gonna glance at that plate but say nothing for now, she's allowed! This one time! It is a party to celebrate their arrival and so she is allowed! ]

[ But only today!!! ]

I don't lose that often.

[cathasahat]

[ If he doesn't say anything, she's going to get seconds at some point...maybe thirds. ]

But you sulk whenever you do.

[hathasacat]

[ He will step in if thirds are attempted!! Their figures, Lynette!! ]

I do not sulk. I'm replaying the match to discover where I messed up.

[cathasahat]

[ She can just exercise the thirds off!! ]

Is that what we're calling it now?

[hathasacat]

[ What if she puts on muscles instead!! ]

That's what it is!

[cathasahat]

[ Then Lyney can too!! ]

Hm, what an interesting definition.

[ Eats another cookie. ]

[hathasacat]

There truly is no defeating you...

There don't seem to be many children around, have you noticed?

[cathasahat]

Yes, I wonder if it's because there's no one to take care of them.

[hathasacat]

Or maybe they were never able to get in, in the first place.

[cathasahat]

An age limit...for what purpose?

[hathasacat]

And therein lies the mystery. Why else would a hotel have an age limit?

[cathasahat]

[ Concern!! ]

We don't know anything about the hotel owner...

[hathasacat]

Perhaps we should remedy that as best we can.

[cathasahat]

Yes. At least the other guests seem friendly so far.

[hathasacat]

Then let's take care to be just as friendly in return.

[cathasahat]

[ Small sigh ]

Yes...I'll refrain from entering power-saving mode for a while.

[ Eats another cookie, it's totally for the energy. ]

[hathasacat]

Thank you for your sacrifice, dear sister!

[cathasahat]

Mm.

Also at least Navia is here--even without her assistants, she's still good at investigating, so hopefully she's already gathered some information.

[hathasacat]

Yes, you're right. I wonder just how long she's been here as well.

[cathasahat]

Yes, I haven't seen anyone else from Fontaine around either.

[hathasacat]

Perhaps there are more from other nations. It would be easier to tell if there were more vision holders around.

[cathasahat]

Perhaps...but they've also been surprised by my appearance.
