[Pilouette takes a deep breath, feeling a combination of both excitment and nervousness. While she's become used to talking to people over the journals before, she's never...announced anything before, much less something she had a hand in organizing. But she's sure that a party would make people happy, especially as it's New Feather season. So, she does her best to calm her nerves and turns to the journals with a smile.]

Um! Hi, everyone! Pilouette here. W-Welcome to all the New Feathers! I hope you're all, like, settling in and stuff? Well, anyway, since there hasn't been one in a while, some of us thought it would be really nice to have a New Feather Party! You know, since it's New Feather season and all. I was thinking that maybe we should have it at the Rec Center, on the 24th maybe? That's, um, next week!

And they're a really good way for New Feathers to meet people here in the village so, um, I hope a lot of you decide to come. There's gonna be like, lots of food n' stuff and I bet it's gonna be like, so totally fun! If anyone else is interested in helping out or if you have any ideas or anything, like, just let me know! After all nothing is really like...set in stone or anything yet. Anyway, hope to see you there!

[After that, Pilouette will be going about her business in the village trying to prep things for the New Feather Party, talking to people trying to figure out what all they need.]

((ooc: If you have any suggestions or would like for your character to be involved in setting up (though the set up will likely be handwaved) feel free to bring it up IC here or on the OOC post here. EDIT: The New Feather Party is acually being held at the School Cafeteria since it turns out the Rec Center is actually too small for it to be plausible.))

Yeah, I think so, too. When was the last one, anyway?

I don't know exactly...but, I think two or three bunches of New Feathers have arrived since then. I guess there just hasn't been one because things have been like...really wild lately or something.

Wow, that many, really? [It's actually pretty surprising to hear. Two or three groups of new people doesn't sound like much at first, but...] You're probably right, then, that is a long time. The last few months have been pretty weird...

[More for others than him, probably, but still, even he could see that things had been kind of crazy lately.]

Yeah. With that draft and that last experiment along with a bunch of other stuff...I guess there hasn't been much of a party atmosphere around here, huh?

[Not that there's usually any reason for a party atmosphere, given the situation, but...this party is something she'll have to take seriously.]

We'll just have to work extra hard to make sure that everyone has fun, then! If it'll cheer people up, even if they're not new, then it's super important!

I'm sure it will. It's been a long time, so it'll be something different. Maybe it'll even make things a little easier on everyone whenever the next experiment hits.

[Or not, but he's trying to be optimistic for Pilouette's sake.]

I hope so...Maybe if we're lucky, there won't be another experiment for a while. I would be so totally okay if there wasn't one for a long time.

[She sighs, but does her best to perk up a little.]

But right now, like, isn't the time to be thinking about whatever those dumb scientists are working on! We're going to have like, a super fun party whether they like it or not!

[Even though, the Malnosso probably don't care if they're having a party, but Pilouette is not exactly fond of them and every instance of happiness and normalcy she has here is a tiny way of fighting against them in her mind. ...Just a tiny one.]

Yeah, you're right. [Her attempt to cheer up doesn't go unnoticed. Shinji decides to do the same.] The important thing is that everyone has fun at the party. That's all that really matters.

[He always worried about the experiments, and he probably still would, but if they were going to make this party thing happen, it was definitely better not to focus on things like that.]

Exactly! We'll all have to work extra hard to make it fun! I mean, it would be really awful if people got excited about it only for it to turn out to be no fun!

[Now that she's thinking about it, it's kind of a really awful thought. She proposes a new feather party and then it's not fun and she ruined everyone's good mood oh god why did she have to say that.]

U-uh...E-Everyone will have a... a good time. A really...really good time!

[...somehow, it feels like the mood's completely shifted! Shinji blinks once or twice before he asks:]

P-Pilouette, are you feeling okay?

[She doesn't... sound okay...!]

H-Huh? Oh! Um! Yes! Yes, I'm fine!

[She's kind of fine. But not really.]

I should probably get to actually working on this stuff, though! A-After all, nothing happens without hard work, right?!

...yeah, right. [Maybe she's just nervous, he decides. He couldn't really blame her for that. He smiles encouragingly.] Let's just do our best. Let me know if you need anything, okay?

[She smiles as well, still a little nervous, but...well, she's less terrified of ruining everything now.]

R-Right! I bet it'll turn out great with everyone's help. ...Thanks, Shinji.
