video; party planning

[shiro2hero]

[Guess who is striking a pose in front of his house in Sevii Islands? That's right, it's Shiro. Sporting his usual beach attire of a horrible, loud, Alolan shirt. But hey! At least he looks well-rested and happy, right? His Umbreon sits at his feet, waving her tail for the camera.]

Hey, so, we've got a lot to celebrate in this house, coming up. A couple birthdays, at least one arrival anniversary...

I don't know who remembers last year, when our house hosted a bonfire party. But, looking at the calendar, I think we're due for another one. We live on the beach, we're out in Sevii, we might as well make use of the space, right?

I'm thinking next weekend. We'll make a real party out of it -- fire, food, music. That kind of thing.

[There's a pause, and his Umbreon regards him with the most skeptical look an Umbreon can possibly give a man.]

... don't worry, I won't be the one cooking.

So, what do you all say? You in?

A bounty of good fortune? How lucky for you. It feels as though there hasn't been enough of that.

[Or maybe Lust is just biased, with so much of her family having been lost over the year.]

[shiro2hero]

We really, really are lucky. No arguments there.

[He pauses, regarding her video.] You're welcome here, too, if you want.

[a_sin_for_him]

I hope the trend continues.

Thank you. Perhaps if I find myself in the area. It's a bit out of my way.

But summer is the time for travel.

[shiro2hero]

And I hope we spread some of the luck around.

[For everyone.]

Yeah, we do kind of live in our own little corner, huh? Just know the invitation's open. If you do find yourself down here.

[a_sin_for_him]

Perhaps you will.

You do. But thank you, I'll keep that in mind.

[shiro2hero]

Any time, Lust. Really.

We've got the space.

[a_sin_for_him]

I do appreciate the offer, I'd simply hate to be an imposition. Not on you, you've made that clear, but you hardly live alone.

[shiro2hero]

I'm pretty sure we have enough space in this house for one more person.

That was the whole reason I got it.

[a_sin_for_him]

And does everyone who lives with you agree?

[shiro2hero]

I don't see why they wouldn't.

Matt's a little shy, but as long as I give him a head's up, he'll be okay.

[a_sin_for_him]

A home is a...private place, I realize it can be uncomfortable to have a stranger within it, is all that I mean.

[And Lust is well aware that she has the ability to make people uncomfortable, purely by existing in physical proximity.]

[shiro2hero]

Hey.

I wouldn't have offered if we'd be uncomfortable. We are more than used to people coming and going.

If it's not something you want, that's fine. I mean that. But don't worry about us. That's my job.

[a_sin_for_him]

If you're certain....

To be quite honest, I'd like to. I could use the time away, but I've little desire to go wandering.

[shiro2hero]

I am. Armin's moving out into his own house boat anyway... he's already offered his room up to anyone who needs it.

It's the attic, so it's fairly quiet.

[a_sin_for_him]

Is that so?

Hmm. When will the room be free?

[shiro2hero]

Probably around the same time as the party...

[He's just saying.]

[a_sin_for_him]

Is that so?

How convenient.

[shiro2hero]

You can thank Armin or that one. His idea.

[a_sin_for_him]

He is a clever one.

Then I suppose I'll be taking you up on your invitation.

I've never been a houseguest before.

[shiro2hero]

Hey, just watch out for all the cats, and you'll be fine.

I'll just... remind the trio to behave.

[a_sin_for_him]

You realize I come with cats of my own.

I can't leave the little ones home alone.

[Despite the fact that the 'little ones' are over a year old now, the trio of Espurrs will always be babies in her eyes. At least until they evolve.]

[shiro2hero]

The more cats, the merrier.

[Says the man with two Incineroar, a Meowth, a soon to be Lileto, and an Umbreon who thinks she's a cat.]

[a_sin_for_him]

Good. I'll be bringing my Spheal, my Primarina, and my Houndoom as well, if that's alright.

Guttle and Amoz go everywhere I go, and Guttle and Gilda hate to be parted.

[shiro2hero]

Your Spheal?

[He says that last word, and there's a bunch of excited barking off-screen. For a second, Shiro stares, then turns the 'gear so he can show off a pair of excited round friends. Rolling through the sand.]

Spheals are more than welcome. Don't worry about the rest, we've got room.

[a_sin_for_him]

You have Spheal!

Guttle and I haven't met any others....

He's my starter.
