[ Today, both faculty members and students will find a decently colorful invitation present in their respective mail boxes. One can probably tell the writer doesn't spend a lot of time on things like invitations, but hey. He tried. What more do you want ( Read more... )

[This invitation is painful. Not only Clopin can't recognize most of the words on it, but it has gray on it. Gray on a holiday invitation. There are no words for how un-festive that is, and since he had decided a while ago that he wanted to meet the undecisive man throwing this bash, he decides to give him his opinion on his preference for color schemes while he's there, as well.]

Ded-all-lus. Deed-all-us?

...cor-dee-all-ay. Cor-dee-all-ee.

Doppler, about your invitation-

Yes?

[ He looks up from whatever he's reading to look through his office door at... That face. Oh boy. ]

... Quite alright?

[ Well, he's not too great with French, but... The gist isn't hard to catch. ]

Very observant.

I'm an extraterrestrial, M. Trouillefou. While certain features resemble the more archaic family canidae, I assure you I am considered humanoid.

Huh.

Then how do they insult a lesser man in your country? 'Swine' just doesn't have the same nasty implications.

Well, we have wits, don't we?

[ BUT ANYWAY... ]

I assume you had a question, sir? Or something to that effect.

A what?

[remembering the piece of paper in his hand]
Oh- yes! This! Look at this! [holds up the invitation and taps a snowflake] Do you see what's wrong with this?

[ He blinks. And adjusts his glasses, just in case. OH GOD DID HIS MISSPELL SOMETHING HEAVEN FORBID, but... Nothing glaring. ]

No?

It's boring.
That's a capital crime in my court.

Then I'll be quite glad your court has no bearing on the rest of the world, hm?

[ Though... Not to alienate even his more eccentric colleagues with snark... He admittedly has no eye for these sorts of things. ]

I'll gladly take any suggestions for the next time I might throw a party, however.

[you just insulted his court. If he'd been born a few hundred years later, he'd take off a glove and smack you.]

Evidently, your life's work has no bearing on the rest of the world, either, or you might have had more experience throwing parties.

Parties are hardly a part of my life's work, sir. Which... Is evidently quite obvious.

Being an entertainer, parties are my business. But surely you would have no interest in a court that does not affect your personal life.
