Text | Morning of June 2nd
[Many of you have probably already seen certain fliers all over Johto and Kanto towns. If you haven't, don't worry! Here it is now, being posted on the network.]
[And right after it comes a text in a very fancy font.]
Happy birthday to me~
Such a day would require only the most diverting of celebrations, but alas! I've been incredibly busy with this project. However, do you understand what that means, my dear friends? This isn't a cancellation, but a mere postponement!
For a spring baby whose heart happens to belong to the coast like yours truly, the summer solstice is one of my favorite festivals! The juxtaposition of the best two seasons of the year! How could I say no to hosting a little show at such a meaningful event? And not just any show, oh no, it's a show for a good cause!
"Helping Hand" is an organization whose aim is to help victims of Team Rocket, be humans or Pokémon. As someone who had to watch his beloved and his protegee suffer at the hand of such despicable scoundrels, I want nothing more than to assist them - and so should you! Join us, I beg you!
Donate, if you please! It can be an egg. It can be an expensive item - or even a simple one, such as a Pokéball. It can be your time! Allow this humble bard to reward your help with a date! Wouldn't it be wonderful to support a good cause AND find love in the very same evening? A story to be told to future generations, I'd like to think!
The beaches of Cianwood City, June 21st, transportation provided by our delightful patrons, Riegfried and Soy. I will accept no excuses! Let's celebrate the summer solstice. Let's (belatedly) celebrate my birthday.
And most importantly, let's celebrate kindness.
((ooc: here is the IC announcement of the event! Sorry for the length, he's a wordy drama queen. Remember that interviews will be handwaved, but you can use this post for your character to ask questions or simply chat about the event in general! For the sake of my inbox, I'm going to ask you to stick to text tags, please, so I can tag more easily and quicker - don't wanna fall behind before I have to do all the event write-up, see? Jaskier is super extra and likes his font BUT if it's annoying for you let me know and I'll be glad to drop it for your tags.))

We will all be returning to Olivine, yes. We will be preparing for our trip to the final gym here in Johto, and now I suppose we will be staying for this event you are participating in.
Your staying should not be a problem. We have a guest room available on the property we are renting, and Felix says that so long as you do not hog the bathroom he and Sylvain use, things should be fine. I don't believe that will be an issue, however.
Are you all right, Jaskier? Did something come up?

Worry not, my friend, everything is indeed all right! I'm just juggling too many things at the moment - the organization of such an event is keeping me rather busy, as you may've probably guessed already.
[Which is, to be fair, not a complete lie.]
I appreciate the offer, Dimitri, I truly do! I swear. It's very kind of you. But I shall pass for now. I will let Geralt know you are in the area, though! I know he enjoys your and Felix's company, and I do want him to relax with friends more often. It's good for him. And with me so busy and spending less time with him these incoming weeks, he'll need it more than usual.

To that end, if staying is not suitable, then please feel free to come to dinner sometime. As long as we have some notice, I'm sure we will be able to make lovely things for you.

Jaskier didn't see that one coming. It's not like he thought Dimitri disliked him per se, with the man being such a sweetheart and all, but he hadn't been sure he was considered like... a friend-friend, so to speak.
Such honest, kind words hit him hard with the surprise factor and all, and they make Jaskier feel both guilty and vindicated for his previous panicking at the same time. Mostly, though, he feels warm, supported. The panic he can figure out later, this is more powerful, he wants to cling to it. Dinner, huh? That... that's just hanging out. That he can do.
He wants to say something nice in return so, to make it clear that he isn't teasing this time, that he means it, he turns the conversation private.]
I know neither of you would ever do such a thing. I trust my kings - your reliable nature, your gentle souls, those bruised knuckles that fiercely protect what they love, those chivalrous hearts that keep beating no matter how many times they've been shattered.
Dinner is an invitation that I can accept. Thank you, Dimitri. We shall do our part too! What are the household's preferences when it comes to wine? Red, white, rose, sparkling?
