XLVIII

[shotapope]

S-since everyone has r-returned safely, I thought... I th-thought it would be a good time to c-celebrate. Th-this week will bring the b-beginning of Lent, and b-back home there is a b-big celebration before that c-called Carnevale. The m-most famous one is in V-Venice. T-traditionally it ends on Shrove Tuesday or F-Fat Tuesday or, w-well Tuesday is

I-it's a lot of fun, and there are c-costumes and masks. I was th-thinking of decorating the b-ball room for T-Tuesday.

Thank you.

[shotapope]

I g-guess they could be purchased or w-wished for?

My name is A-Alessandro.

[tomatoandbasil]

This....This would be a good idea, for the children especially.

[shotapope]

That's what I w-was thinking. It h-has been a v-very difficult week for everyone, e-especially them.

[tomatoandbasil]

Food and dance bring comfort to many, especially those younger. It'd be a good welcoming back. What else would be going on?

[shotapope]

Um... m-mostly just food, dancing, p-parties.... It's a t-time to let loose before Lent. Lent is a t-time of fasting and r-reflection....

It's been a long week, hasn't it, Alec?

This sounds like a very good idea...!

Abel

[shotapope]

V-very. I was r-really worried.

I'm j-just glad everyone came back in time.

Alec

[custodismundi]

Me, too...

It's always hard to feel helpless. When it feels like there's nothing you can do... [;(]

I'm really glad it all turned out alright and no one seemed to be seriously hurt. I think we lucked out, this time...

Abel

[shotapope]

I p-prayed every day, and I b-blessed some weapons when asked. I'm not s-sure if that really did anything, but... it f-felt like it might have made a d-difference.

[reconize this voice Alessandro? however, he sounds a bit nicer today.]

A celebration, hun? Sounds like fun~

[shotapope]

Th-that's what I thought!

[Nicer is always good.]

[shadow_immortal]

[...that doesn't mean he won't be an ass.]

Well, I hope it works out for everybody~ I might not attend if it's outside though.

So Alessandro, since that creature isn't hurting anyone, do you think we can have a good conversation?

[shotapope]

[Not like he isn't used to that from almost everyone in his life.]

I was th-thinking of having it in the b-ball room.

I don't s-see why not.

[leadthedance]

[You can hear the excitement in his voice already.]

A celebration is a great idea!

[shotapope]

I-isn't it? It's also the s-season for Carnevale anyway.

[leadthedance]

All the more reason! If there's any way I can help out with preparations, I'll gladly do so!

[shotapope]

I-if you could help with d-decorations that would be g-greatly appreciated.
