[Video message to everyone:]

Good ...evening. Although it was light just a little while ago. Luministi sure knows how to set a mood!

I've just received an invitation to the festival that I cannot refuse. [She holds up a mask in front of her face for a moment.] Would anyone like to accompany me? Although, it wouldn't surprise me if you've all

[Coincidentally, Ichijou is also wearing a kimono, and it's almost certainly supposed to be a women's design to boot. His is a deep royal purple with a fine floral print and a bright red obi, into which is tucked the scarf that was given to him by Sophie. He's currently fussing with his eyelashes in a mirror even though he's going to be wearing a mask.]

Fuu, are you planning to "get lucky?"

[Believe it or not, that wasn't meant to be a double entendre.]

[Her eyebrow raises quizzically at him wearing such a kimono, but... what can she say? The way it's put on, he clearly knows what he's doing.
(And there's no way Fuu would get the second meaning there anyways, so no worries~) At the question she gives a determined nod.]

Yes, I'm planning on it. And you?

[manicurious]

I haven't quite decided. I'm typically not one to put myself into dangerous positions, especially not without my bodyguards. On the other hand, I'm tired of this murderer's antics. I absolutely wouldn't mind catching this person and showing them how it feels to have someone paint their nails without permission.

[Of course, he's talking about a different kind of nail painting here.]

[Fuu just hears that as him going to avenge what was done to her, and she's kinda touched by that.]

Thank you. With all of us after him, I'm sure that we'll get him.

Perhaps you could go with a couple other people? Lots of the people here know how to fight, and it would for sure be safer.

"Him?"

I recall Hawk saying the same thing, about people who can fight. How do I even approach that subject, though? Just... Start approaching people and asking them if they're willing to possibly risk their lives for me?

[Apparently satisfied with the state of his eyelashes, Ichijou retrieves a mask and puts it on, frowning into the mirror. Why did he have to cover up his gorgeous face?]

Of course...

[He forces a smile while checking himself out in the mirror once again.]

It would take some special kind of monster to try to attack someone who looks this beautiful.

i can html. yup.

[She does a tiny facevault at his last statement. W-wow. Well.... maybe? Pulling herself together, she answers him,]

Well, we don't really know either way. [Japanese doesn't have much in the way of pronouns to make distinctions like that. (Sorry if she's a bit confused why he's asking. XD)]

Mmm. Hopefully they wouldn't see it as only risking their lives... But I'm certain that there will be someone you can come with who can help!

It happens to the best of us. :V

[manicurious]

Hnn, I see. I thought that perhaps you knew something that I didn't.

If you really think so, I suppose I can walk around and try to find someone who might be willing to check things out with me. I highly doubt that anyone would try to harm any of us with so many people around - I'd be wary of any isolated spots though.

No... even with all the fantastic clues that we've gathered, it's still very confusing.

I think you're right that it would be hard for them to move in a crowd! But this is Luministi, and anything can happen. I'm sure everyone will be careful though!
