Written on white parchment in Ryuuji's usual messy calligraphy, a note was delivered by owl to Simon Tam. Ryuuji hadn't seen Simon since his Sorting, but knew that the doctor had been unpopcorned thanks to Stephen's owl, and had figured that as River's brother, Simon was the logical person to help plan a bachelor party. Gift bags and the like could

Once in the room, he looked around to see where Simon was, assuming that Stephen would resemble River enough for Ryuuji to be able to recognize him.

Man, why hadn't he known that from the start? He should have remembered that the two of them had met at Simon's Sorting. Oh well. Clearly, all the jumping back and forth through worlds was starting to tire him out.
Walking over with an easy smile, Ryuuji pulled out a chair and sat down at the table, tilting his head just a little quizzically at Simon, "Dr. Tam, right? I'm Ryuuji."

Preparations done, he asked Simon curiously, "Do you have any ideas for the bachelor party? Stephen said that there's no tradition of them where he comes from, so yours might be different from mine so maybe it'll be helpful if you tell me what bachelor parties are like in your time."

He rubbed the side of his nose. "Er, I actually don't remember a lot of the bachelor party I attended. I was a little... out of my head." He looked really embarassed.

Grin widening a little, he pointed out, "And Stephen's the guy who got drunk on Evil Clown Repellent during a live WART broadcast. I'm sure being out of his head wouldn't be a new experience to him. I think that we should do our best to make the party as memorable as possible, and part of that is going to be drawing up a good guest list. Apart from the three of us, who do you think we should invite?"

And then wider.
"Er, traditionally there'd be no women at the bachelor party, no." He shook his head a ilttle to clear it. "Perhaps we can get this.. Homsar person as a stripper?"
... Stephen had seemed so dry, and dull! And cold!

Then his ears caught up to his mouth. "...Except that would kind of ruin the point of a bachelor party if the bride is there. Okay, ignore that."
He shook his head and jotted down some more notes, then tilted his head at Simon, "Do you want to be the one to ask Homsar? Because technically, I think he's either the Professor or ex-Professor of Arithmancy and since I already had to ask Dr. Cox and Lupin to pose naked as chicks for the newspaper, I probably wouldn't want to be the one to ask yet another authority to do something involving nudity. People might think that I have a fetish. So you should probably see if he's willing to do it!"
This was going to be fun.

Hm.
Carefully, in his talking-to-people-that-might-go-off-a-ledge voice, Ryuuji asked, "Simon? Are you okay?"
Simon hadn't been eating anything, so he couldn't be choking. And besides, his lips weren't blue.

As for the professors and the nudity, Ryuuji shrugged, playing it off as casually as he could, "And yeah, I was going to run a schoolnewspaper and someone suggested to me that I ask the profs to pose for it while female, so I did that. But we never got the newspaper out, so that didn't actually come off."

No. Real.
"... oh. Er. Well, you know this school, so... whatever you think is best, I'm sure it'll be fine."
