....festival.

[the word is sort of disparagingly-but-benignly muttered. But the tone doesn't matter much, because as Archie well knows, half-muttered statements have been Ginko's version of a polite "Good morning, how are you today?" since childhood.]

[voice]

[noprevaricating]

Hello to you too. What sort of lurking have you been up to?

[one_green_eye]

Nothing of consequence-- unless you count waking up in the forest. [heh, oh wait, he should probably clarify] -- which was unexpected.

[noprevaricating]

Yes, I caught my niece this morning walking home from someone else's house in nothing but her night-shirt. Probably a shift.

[ voice ]

[slaying]

Hmm? Sounds kinda fab, Archie. Count me in. And mine, if they're game.

[ voice ]

[noprevaricating]

Let me know if they'll be coming so I know how much to make. You've collected everyone, haven't you? I heard people were waking up in the strangest of places all over.

[ voice ]

[slaying]

Finding Winry was good. Jack -- [ a soft sigh. ] He's not exactly the trackable kind of person.

[ voice ]

[noprevaricating]

[Archie never liked him.]

Right. I suppose if I plan for him to come and he goes missing again, we'll just have a little extra. How have you been getting on?

[bookworldly]

I'm in - I could bring the deserts.

[noprevaricating]

Oh, good! I was thinking I'd make a roast.

[He leaves out the vegetables. They are not important, he has never liked them. Fruit is great! But Mom, you had difficulty getting this one to eat his veggies.]

[bookworldly]

Something in pear then. Maybe a cheesecake.

[Perhaps she should be chiding him here -- but she doesn't imagine that anyone could make a roast without vegetables. It's inconceivable.]

[noprevaricating]

[He'll make vegetables? But they'll probably be a last-minute addition.]

Both. We have quite a lot of people coming, and that includes Bepo.

[ voice ]

[hippocraticly]

We'll be there.

[ Leonard pretty much just overruled his family deciding this but hey, they won't mind. ]

[ voice ]

[noprevaricating]

All three of you?

[ voice ]

[hippocraticly]

[ raising an eyebrow. ]

Is that going to be a problem, Arch?

Re: [ voice ]

[noprevaricating]

Not a problem at all, I'm only making certain.

...Our flat might not be big enough.

[survivethesiren]

Thank you for the invitation, Archie. I'm looking forward to it.

And I'm quite sure any cooking you two do will be better than my own. I never will sort it out.

voice;

[noprevaricating]

I'm afraid I can't take credit for everything--Mother's bringing dessert.

...Not a vegetarian, are you, Gem?

voice;

[survivethesiren]

Then I'm sure it will be excellent.

And no, I am not. There are very few things I won't eat.

voice;

[noprevaricating]

That bodes well--I can't guarantee everything served will be edible. I'm trying something new.

How is Emil?
