[open] but in your heart is fascination and we're waitin' for you

[implying]

Date & Time: Any time from now to the 7th
Location: The transporter room
Characters: Anyone who wants to help set up for the masquerade party, anyone who wants to wander by and see it happening, any new characters that want to teleport in in the middle of it!
Summary: SETTING UP FOR A SWEET PARTY
Warnings: none expected, but let me know if something terrible happens. 8)

The Initiative has made a few allowances for this little project of Vanadi's: among them, that the entire transporter room, when everything is ready, will be snapped back into 1772. From streamers and other decorations, to party-goers, to carts of food, everything all at once will end up in the Palace of Versailles when the transporter activates. They've mapped out exact coordinates and provided designated areas, it's all very mathematical and precise and tedious.

The short of it is that anyone who has volunteered to help set up the party is welcome to set up in the transporter room instead, and the teleporter will take care of the rest at the appropriate time.

Vanadi can be found anywhere throughout and around the room, masked as always, alternatively giving politely phrased orders and suggestions, and well-timed appreciation and encouragement. He definitely doesn't seem shy of handing out snacks and (alcoholic, of course) drinks as rewards and thank yous. Stragglers will be encouraged to find work for themselves, or (eventually) ever so politely ushered out of the way.

[[ ooc; feel free to tag around/thread hop/threadjack! handwaving is also acceptable, if you said your character will be helping and you don't feel like tagging in, don't sweat it. B) ]]

[ Saber is nearby to watch over him (as expected), this time surprisingly without her armor or weapon, not that she carried the latter with her so openly. Every so often she'll swing by Shirou to receive payment in the only form she accepted. ]

Please. [ Holding out her hands towards him. ]

[emptysword]

--huh?

[His routine was, as usual, broken as he looked up from his cooking with a slight confusion on his face. Then again, considering how often she'd been popping around the masquerade, it's only normal for him to respond to her query automatically, and the confused face faded away within seconds.]

...Saber, how many times does this one make?

[...Just. Doing a small check.]

[ex_cashcow493]

... Is there a limit now?

[ That's horrifying to think about, but she'll answer his question rather quickly. ] Seven. This would be the seventh time, Shirou.

[emptysword]

No, I'm just asking, that's all.

[...Seventh time, huh. Wow, time certainly did fly by when you're too preoccupied with helping...

At the very least, he's going to hand another over to her; she is doing her part after all.







right?]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Munching on whatever object he's handed her, she'll turn her gaze back on the other workers. ]

Their food is not as filling as yours.

[ ... Yes. she's been helping out by taste testing. Of course. ]

[emptysword]

That's because you're supposed to test them and not eating all of them.

[He's going to sigh as he turned back to frying those breaded chicken pieces, making sure they're not burnt.]

[ex_cashcow493]

Is there really any harm in eating all of them? After all, I cannot tell from a single piece alone if it is nutritious or not.

[ Conjuring excuses for more food? Sounds like a Saber thing to do. ]

[emptysword]

No, but there's a reason they're called snacks...

[Saber........]

[ex_cashcow493]

Well, I am snacking on them.

[ A scoff. ] Does that not count?

[emptysword]

That has the same meaning as 'eating'.

[No, that doesn't count.]

[ex_cashcow493]

... Words should not have different ways to say the same thing. It is improper and misleading.

[ Just going to take a bite with that. ] Unless snacking is a friendlier way of saying I will not gain any weight. Then so be it.

[emptysword]

[He's going to sigh, and resume his cooking, lest it be burnt, though at least he's still listening to her.]

Well, just make sure to help around with labor too.
