C.Yvette: good evening, could I trouble you for a favor? C.Yvette: More like a possible favor. C.Yvette: It's regarding a Live I'm planning. C.Yvette: Ah— not with running it. C.Yvette: Assuming they attend (they may not), I was hoping you could provide some additional interference between BiT and one of your unitmates.
C.Yvette: I understand. It's Req. C.Yvette: I had asked for her feedback, during a focus group for a Live we were planning, and she thought it was better if she didn't come, because BiT would be there C.Yvette: which I understand, and I absolutely respect that. C.Yvette: So I'm not saying we should push her to go (please, do not push her) C.Yvette: But... maybe if it was something that could have been fun for her, that she might have wanted to do, I don't think it's fair for her to have to recuse herself C.Yvette: Because she has every right to do cute roleplay things with her girlfriend and earn points, like everyone else. C.Yvette: B and I were thinking it would have been a great opportunity for her to host, actually. C.Yvette: IF she changed her mind, I have a plan minimizing (or ideally, eliminating) contact between her and BiT C.Yvette: ... C.Yvette: I suppose I should have asked if you would be in attendance in the first place C.Yvette: Sorry.
War God: I'll probably be there! War God: But I don't know how much I can do when it comes to Req. War God: She's acting the same way about being in Zrael now, because of what I represent. War God: So I think right now I'm the last person to be able to help with herding, unless it's just on the BiT side, which I figure you have covered.
C.Yvette: The BiT side is the one I'd like assistance with C.Yvette: I'm not in any position to order them to stay away from her, or discipline anyone who does not C.Yvette: being overt might cause more animosity either with them or for you, on top of being a bad tone for a party C.Yvette: I'm not even sure who she's having difficulty with, she only said it wasn't me C.Yvette: That said, since I cannot do anything to address the matter, if you do know, please do not tell me.
C.Yvette: Great. Hopefully creating some separation will help. C.Yvette: I'm sure everyone would love to hang out with you, so I hope it won't feel like work.
C.Yvette: Good question! C.Yvette: In Western cultures, it was an autumn celebration on the eve of the day when souls of the dead were supposed to return to the land of the Living C.Yvette: People would leave offerings for the spirits, in hope of gaining favor that would allow their livestock to survive the coming winter C.Yvette: To mimic the journey of those spirits, people would dress up, going from door to door, asking for traditional sweets. C.Yvette: This evolved into a tradition called "Trick or Treating," as those who didn't have offerings or refused to give any would be subject to mischief for their failure to provide hospitality C.Yvette: People also believed other supernatural beings would walk the earth on that day C.Yvette: Vampires, werewolves, and the like. C.Yvette: The holiday is now mostly commercialized and marketed at children. C.Yvette: Although in Japan, it is just an excuse to put on a cheap costume and get drunk in public C.Yvette: So we'll going to have a roleplay party on the beach at night, and instead of costumes everyone can use potions to change into a form appropriate for their role.

War God: Honestly I've only got hunches at best anyway.

Re: Day 250, Evening
War God: And hopefully can be helpful.
Re: Day 250, Evening
C.Yvette: the name is a work in progress.
[ there's that mention of Halloween again ]
Re: Day 250, Evening
War God: What's Halloween, though?

Re: Day 250, Evening
War God: Sounds like fun!
Re: Day 250, Evening
C.Yvette: There was a game like that, around the holiday, so we wanted to do something similar.

C.Yvette: And if you'd ever like to work together, please let me know.
