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!

Comments

[cathasahat]

Oh yes, experiences did come up earlier. What sorts of events have you taken part in?

[crimsin]

There was some magical mistletoe floating around not too long ago, and depending on which kind you got stuck under, you were compelled to either kiss or fight someone!

More recently, the floor turned to lava.

[cathasahat]

That's--not what I was expecting. And they're very different as well.

[crimsin]

You must simply learn to expect the unexpected while you are here!

[cathasahat]

That sounds like it would get tiring very quickly.

[crimsin]

Eh, it is not so bad. It only happens every now and then. The rest of the time, it is perfectly relaxing!

[cathasahat]

That's good to hear. What do you like to do to relax?

[crimsin]

I love to paint or play music! Though there is plenty to explore as well.

[cathasahat]

What instrument do you play?

[crimsin]

The piano and the violin! So, if you should need music for your show, I can certainly provide!

[cathasahat]

That's very kind of you to offer. I'll let Lyney know, I'm sure he would be excited to discuss it further.

[crimsin]

Certainly. I am reachable on the devices they have given everyone, so feel free to shoot me a message anytime!

[cathasahat]

Ah yes, those. How sturdy are they, in your experience?

[crimsin]

Sturdy? I have my own device from home, so I cannot speak to the ones they give out. Why?

[cathasahat]

I'm not allowed to use the machines at home or else the others have to fix them.

[crimsin]

Ah, you are prone to breaking things, then? You can probably ask for a protective case for your device! That may help!

[cathasahat]

I just make them...malfunction. Will a case help with that?

[crimsin]

Oh. Um. Malfunction how?

[cathasahat]

The washing machine started spewing suds everywhere and the vacuum cleaner was making strange noises.

[crimsin]

Oh my. And, ah, what did you do to make these machines behave that way?

[ Is she bad with technology or just unlucky? ]

[cathasahat]

I pressed the buttons. Freminet even tried writing the steps down once.

[crimsin]

I do not think it is a question of durability in that case.

[cathasahat]

Probably not. I'll just have to have Lyney carry mine for me.

[crimsin]

That might be best... though I am sure you will be given a replacement if something were to happen.

[cathasahat]

How helpful of the hotel.
