18 ⚓ Video ⚓ Let the bard sing what he has a mind to

[hearrrtofgold]

The Admiral appears to be running on a Julian calendar – thank God – which is pretty standard for most of us. And for those who don’t know: our new year starts at midnight in two days. So we’ve got another upcoming holiday and a bar. We could have karaoke. [He says it with the salacious, promising tone in which one might say "public sex" or "veal."]

Let me know if this sounds good. And if anyone has ideas, or wants help put things together, whatever, let me know that too. Just CC me on anything to do with this, really.

That makes sense. [Singing and getting drunk do tend to go pretty naturally together, albeit not always with stellar results.] Thank you.

No problem. Are you coming by?

Text

[takeyouapart]

Well, I can't hold my drink and I can't sing, so it sounds like a perfect idea to me.

Text

[hearrrtofgold]

Great! You'll be the life of the party.

Text

[takeyouapart]

Until I fall asleep under a table.

Is there anything I can do to help you prepare? My name is Merlin, by the way.

Text

[hearrrtofgold]

Just take your shoes off first or people will draw on you.

Are you any good with decorations? I'm Duke.

Text

[takeyouapart]

Is that the rule? I'll keep that in mind.

And I think I'm alright, I've had some practice at home.

Text

[hearrrtofgold]

That's the rule. Now you know the secret.

Good! All I've got is Christmas lights. Any ideas what else might look good?

Text

[takeyouapart]

I don't know if I can help with that. All we had at home were leaves and flowers. Ribbons, sometimes. The decorations I've seen here are a lot more [he spends some time searching for a word] shiny.

Text

[hearrrtofgold]

Flowers are a good idea. I think we could make them work with shiny.

Text

[takeyouapart]

I think so. Are we allowed to take things from the glass house?

Text

[hearrrtofgold]

Not sure. You'd have to ask Zane, he's the person in charge.

Text

[takeyouapart]

[So now he has a sense that he'd be stealing flowers from someone, that's not cool.]

I'll work something out. [i.e. create his own.] When will you be preparing?

Text

[hearrrtofgold]

The afternoon of the 31st. Don't go to too much trouble for it, all right?

Text

[takeyouapart]

All right. [Though he's aware that he can accomplish a lot more than some before it counts as 'trouble'.] I will see you there, then.

Text

[hearrrtofgold]

See you then.

[ooc: Safe to assume that quiet helpful Merlin showed up and was quiet and helpful? And brought flowers. 8D]
