Hey, guys.

[His voice sounded weary but oddly content and calm. For the first time in a long time, he felt like he was starting to understand something.]

I was thinking about something, actually. A couple of somethings. It's getting to be winter and, by my count, there's going to be a few holidays coming up for many of us. I know not all of us celebrates them the same way...but, at the same time, many of us can't celebrate them as we used to. We don't have the same traditions around here, or the same people.

...What I thought I would do was try to arrange a fun get-together in a few weeks for people who just want to relax and have some fun. There won't be any rules or ties to tradition, but there will be people. Tis the season to be with people you like, right?

Right.

[At this point he pauses to throw on a filter, just to tease someone:]

Filtered from Fujiko: 98%

My other thought was to throw a surprise party for my girl. Mine Fujiko, for those who know her. It doesn't need to be anything big or fancy, but I want it to be special. She's been here for a long time.

I'm still trying to figure out how we're doing the food and finding our venue, but I'd love to hear any ideas that you guys have. Cake should be involved here. Seriously. Otherwise, I'm completely open to any idea.

Thanks ahead guys.

Action

[While the sun is still out, Lupin decided to head out into the town to check for some better winter gear in the various shops. He's not picky. Later on he can be found enjoying a hot drink at the bakery before he returns back to his apartment in Community House 1. He is keeping an eye out for both Grell and Gambit during this time.

He needed to rework plans with them.]

She's my girl. Of course there will be dancing!

Excellent. It isn't a proper party without dancing.

Unfortunately, I can offer little other help. I am not much of a cook.

I have a cook in mind if it works for his schedule. He actually does celebrate that holiday I mentioned, but I don't think he'll mind.

My bigger problem is finding a venue.

How big a venue will this require?

I'm not even sure how many people will be involved yet. I'm accepting any ideas.

Ah. Well, I'm not really one to organize such things at any rate.

Neither am I. That's why I opened the forum.

Good luck. I shall provide the dancing, then.

there is a tradition in my world that involves cake and men dancing. are you volunteering?

I think it depends upon the tradition and what bits of me would end up smeared with cake.

[He remembered Law's orders when it concerned gods and health...

but he would risk the pirate's displeasure later.]

I leave the decision up to you.

Unfortunately, I am not a suitable sight for a lady's entertainment at the moment, so I shall have to bow out.

Perhaps next time.

Now, that is a damn shame!

We have other holidays coming up. Why not at the new year?

Perhaps... it is a possibility. I shall let you know if the situation changes.

Hey. I'm not into that stuff. The important people in this are the ladies.

But of course. Though one does like to be as widely appreciated as possible.

Any performer does. That's part of the game. But, you also have to accept that some audiences just don't appreciate the show.

This is a sad truth indeed. There are always some poor fools who just don't appreciate art... of any kind.

But artists such as ourselves simply cannot let that get us down, so to speak.

Of course. What kind of good performer gives up on their craft?

None that wish to make an impression, to be certain.
