trustfell | There was a farm that had a dog

[Throughout the day on Monday, everyone still left in the building will find a handwritten invitation delivered to them at some point or another, along with a bonus sheet of paper.

WHO: You! WHAT: Fun and games! WHERE: The roof WHEN: 6 o'clock Hey, everyone. It's been quiet around here lately, so let's keep our spirits up and have some fun! The sun might not be shining, but we still have a great view of the stars, and somewhere warm to watch them from. Food and drink will be provided, so just bring yourself (and your bingo sheet!), and we'll enjoy each other's company. - Rin Tohsaka

There aren't any decorations upstairs, but there will be food and drink as promised, and lots of variety. Curry, soup and sandwiches, parfaits, homemade potato chips, a cheese plate; Rin went all out. For sweets, there's chocolate chip cookies and a lemon meringue pie, with milk or juice (that looks like it was made from scratch) to wash it down with. Alcohol too, if that's your thing. There's even a bloody mary for Elda, somehow.

As you might guess from the invitation, the bonus piece of paper delivered with the invites is a blank bingo sheet! Whether it's when the invites are delivered or when they come to the party, Rin will give everyone instructions on how to fill it out, and how the game is played.

~~HUMAN~~ GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BINGO

Fill out the sheet with 24 simple facts about yourself! They should be anything you're comfortable sharing with others, and most importantly they must be true
Share sheets with one another! If you have something in common with what's on another person's sheet, you can sign off on that square.
Players may sign up to two squares on one another's sheets, but only two! Normally you'd only collect a single signature, but this is a small group.
When one row has five signatures horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, that's a BINGO!
Whoever has the most BINGOs at the end of the night wins!

That should about cover it. But yeah, it's a game designed for the group to maybe get to know each other a little better. Discussion is encouraged, not just for what you have in common, but what you don't! What's most important is everyone have fun.]

Really? Even in casual encounters?

Oh, I guess that's true, I did speak to Karin's boyfriend. Other than him.

[ A sage nod. ]

I don't need to talk to them to hunt them.

[DOn't be scary, Elda.]

Mmm, I'm glad that has changed, then. My life would not be quite as fulfilling without your presence.

Oh please, don't think you can charm me at this point, young man.

[ she waves a hand dismissively here, laughing. But she is beaming all the same.

Okay she filled in the punching thing. so what's a good second for him... ]

Is it really an attempt at being charming if it's true?

['painting on walls', 'punching Jericho', and 'likes to drink' are taken at this point, and 'married' might go to Adelina in a moment. The rest of his board is currently free though.]

[ You know what, she'll do "Can Draw" - that seems about right! nod. But... oh.

Her cheeks tinge just a little and she laughs ]

Laying it on thick now!

If you think that is laying it on thick, you should see me at my worst.

[Or best, depending on how you see it.]

Oh? You'd want to show me your worst?

Only if you promise not to punch me, or hurt me in any other way.

[He can lay it on really thick, okay? And he doesn't want Elda to get embarrassed and to punch him.]

[ . . .

. . .

This is a weirdly long pause. ]

Oh, could I do that...

[WELL IN THAT CASE

Luca just smiles and leans in a bit to gently scoop up one of Elda's hands in his own.]

I thank you for that consideration, then. It is most kind of you, a kindness that is much appreciated from a powerful matriarch such as yourself.

[And he will kiss the back of her hand, as a gentleman would.]

[ . . . He still needs a beard.

She giggles though, that's... ]

Oh ho ho ho.

[Well he can't grow a beard for a demonstration like that, so she'll have to make due with his babyface.

He nods politely to her before straightening up and letting go of her hand.]

It is a pity we lack an orchestra here, or else I would offer you a dance as well.

If only! Thus far, it's mostly just been Sayaka's singing [ ow. ] or myself and Susan [ ow. ] on the piano! And at this point. I'd have to be making the music!

[Stop hurting yourself Elda]

And no phonograph has come out of the vending machine either. It really is a pity. It would have been nice to dance with someone, especially someone who seems refined enough to know how to waltz.

[That's partially flattery, and partially wistful thinking on his part. He really does miss dancing.]

Hilda has a record player in her room, but I doubt she would let us use it.

Definitely not. No fun allowed here, remember?

She doesn't mind if we have our fun, I don't think. But she wouldn't risk it breaking or make that sort of indulgence.

[ She takes her hand back to herself and then gestures at her bingo card. Go on, give her a second one. ]

[Oh right, the bingo card. He will go ahead and circle 'can speak at least two languages'.]

It probably wouldn't be as fun with her equipment either.

That and...

[ She shakes her head. ]

Well, no matter.

[If it's bothering Elda enough to make her not want to talk about it, then it's probably best to leave it be. So instead, he looks back at her bingo card.]

How long is 'in a while' in terms of a haircut?

I've done some trimming and fixing up here and there, but I've not cut, cut it in several decades.

[ she pushes up her trails of hair. It's worth noting, if you didn't catch from her icons, both tails reach her ankles more or less. ]

And I've kept this style for two centuries.

[Such long hair, it's amazing that she doesn't trip over it.]

That's longer than most of the people here have even been alive, so I think you definitely win there.

Well naturally! I had to look good and maintain my hair for my dear James!

[ Aaaaaah. ]

[Of course.

Luca can't fault her though, it's important to look good and maintain your looks. Especially if someone you love likes how you look.]

It doesn't become a bother, does it? Long hair like that must knot up sometimes.
