[All things considered, Anise shouldn't be too surprised. Luceti's done weirder things in the past, at least this experiment - if that's what it is - isn't hurting anyone. What really matters is that her housemates are back from that stupid draft.]

[Still, that doesn't make it any less annoying. You'd think living on the almost-outskirts of town

It's like a big party.

[galddigger]

Yeah, but what fun's a party if you didn't even invite any of these gatecrashers and--

[Wait wait hold up a sec.]

[The green haired kid looks like Ion, but it is not Ion...!]

Florian...?

[an_innocent_one]

Hi Anise. [He smiles happily. It's been awhile since he's seen her.] I thought parties are supposed to be fun?

[galddigger]

They are! I mean, they were. I dunno about this one - I'm not sure it's even a party at all, so... [wait, why are they talking about this, what - ]

But enough about that! Florian, did you just get here? How are you - oh, you don't have wings either, huh?

[an_innocent_one]

[Florian laughs, but his expression is a little confused. If it's not a party, what is it?] I don't have wings. [He shakes his head.] They look so neat, though. Do you think I can have wings too, Anise?

[galddigger]

Oh, you don't want these wings, Florian. They're pretty to look at, but they hurt a lot! And you can't even fly with them! You're really lucky you don't have any.

[an_innocent_one]

They hurt? I thought they were part of a party costume...

[galddigger]

Well, only if you do painful things to 'em! So nope, they're not part of a costume or anything... I wouldn't mind so much if they were!

[an_innocent_one]

Does that mean you can't take them off? I don't know if the Order will approve...
