Eighth Summoning [Voice] || Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk

[knew_anyway]

-right.

[There's a small pause, and Nathaniel takes a deep breath, before starting to speak.]

As you all know, there is a festivity of sorts, held on Friday. For preparation, I am willing to teach a class on the basics of dance Thursday evening. Though I am not a certified instructor in the matter, I have attended several galas which required such... things, and I have had instruction on- dance. [God, it sounds so girly when he says it like that. But with friends like Makepeace, he knows the basics, which is far more than you barbaric lot.]

I will also be attending the prom of sorts if anyone wishes to speak to me face to face- on any matter. Thank you.

[Private to Hino Rei || Unhackable]

[There's a long pause, as if he's not sure if he really wants to say this- but he goes with it anyway, taking a deep breath.]

...I have located another spirit that I believe to be residing in Adstringendum. Something a bit more powerful than Faisal. If... if you like, [a deep breath] you can watch the summoning.

[He lets out a soft sound, like he's nervous, maybe.] Um- not that I think it would be particularly entertaining, but you seemed... curious about that sort of thing. It would be easier than trying to explain everything.

That's very kind of you, to offer lessons. I'll ask Ron if he wants to speak with you about that, as he expressed some nervousness on the matter.

It looks like I'll likely be seeing you at the prom after all.

[Voice]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

Certainly. I wouldn't mind trying to help him out.

And- really? That's fantastic. I enjoyed your company when we met last time.

[Voice]

[bookish-lioness.livejournal.com]

If he actually calls on you. He can be quite stubborn.

Did you? I'm glad. I'm sure it will be fun to meet up with you again.

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

It's always nice to share a piece of my thoughts with someone who appreciates them.

[Voice]

[bookish-lioness.livejournal.com]

Well, I always look forward to hearing what you have to say.

[Voice]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

You flatter me.

[He laughs.]

At any rate, point Ron in my direction, and I'd be happy to help.

[Voice]

[bookish-lioness.livejournal.com]

I do not. It's the truth.

I'll let him know of your offer, but don't be surprised if you don't hear from him. He's like that.

[flameandpassion]

[ ... ooh.]

Where do you want me to meet you?

[She is so not bothering to actually say yes, because obviously, she wants to see. 8|]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

-you want to do it now?

[Same Filter]

[flameandpassion]

I'm not doing anything.

[Same Filter]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

Alright. I-

[A pause]

-I'll have to set things up then. It might take a few hours.

[Same Filter]

[flameandpassion]

I can meet you then?

[Pause.]

-- what kind of spirit is it?

[Same Filter]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

Yes. Please come over.

[He purses his lips.]

It's about the level of a djinni- like Bartimaeus, but I don't believe it is as powerful as he. Nevertheless, a degree above a foliot-sort, like Faisal is.

Dancing lessons? [Seriously?]

[Video]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to- be sociable.

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Oh. [She feels the urge to ask 'why?' but refrains from doing so.] Well I guess that's as good a way as any, then.

[Video]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

Are you going? To the prom, I mean.

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[And of course he would ask that, wouldn't he?] I... don't know yet.

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

It's your choice. At any rate, it'll be a good night to socialize. People don't like trusting in those whom they cannot meet face to face.

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

A festivity?

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

Miss Hanna calls is a prom, but I find the word inappropriate. Promenades are typically at the end of a high school career- many of the people here have never attended such a place.

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

A prom.

Right, of course, why not?

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

Why haven't people here attended high school? You'd have to ask each person that themselves. The education system I grew up in was more specialized.

[effyourcupcake.livejournal.com]

No, no, I meant why not add a teaspoon of cheesy lunacy to this messed up shithole.

[Someone is new, and bitter.]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

Because socialization is the key to remaining a cohesive civilization. We're trying to take a step forward and be more- close-knit group of people, rather than a few haphazard stragglers.
