[64th]

[ the video slowly pans across the living room of Cashmere's apartment. anything even vaguely reflective has been covered with cloth taken from the city shops. she's had enough of seeing a horrible future. after the pan across the living room, she continues to walk around her apartment as she talks, just in case anyone might need further proof that it's all covered.

This is your official invitation to stop being sad and alone in your home and to come to my place for a party. There's going to be food, alcohol and music, and best of all, no mirrors allowed. As they say, misery loves company.

Who's in?

[ or you can do a log here! ]

[Jo has, admittedly, never spoken to Cashmere before, but she's going to check about this.]

Everyone's really invited?

Video

[64th]

[ she turns the camera around so it's pointed at herself again. ] Is there a reason I shouldn't invite you?

Video

[knifecollecting]

Not really. I'm a great party guest. [She has lots of stories and jokes, and she never drinks too much.]

Video

[64th]

In that case you are absolutely invited. I have white liquor and brown liquor and blue liquor. [ she pauses. ] I don't really recommend the blue one, but we have to take what we can get here.

[am_i_a_monster]

Can I come?

video

[64th]

Are you going to start a fight or steal anything?

video

[am_i_a_monster]

No.

Why?

video

[64th]

It never hurts to ask. [ also because she's the kind of person who starts a fight at a party and they only needs so many people of that type. ] And based on your answer, you can come. Bring friends if you want.

--what, seriously? That's the best idea I've heard all week. Where do you live?

Video

[64th]

[ the camera back on herself again, she nods. seriously. ]

The original houses. Inner spiral. I'll have lights and music, but I can send you a picture.

Bring anyone you'd like.

Re: Video

[toiletseat_girl]

A picture might help. I still have trouble finding my way around this place sometimes.

And it's just me. I'm kind of alone right now.

[64th]

[ she sends a pictures of the house. ]

I know what you mean. Most of my friends are gone, everyone from home is gone... this place is more tolerable when the company is good.

[Seel gave Cashmere a small sad smile, mirror in hand.]

I wish you the best. I hope you have fun. If it's all the same, I think I'm going to stay here, with my mirror.

[64th]

[ Cashmere and Seel were best friends for a short time, thanks to the influence of the gods. she still feels fondly about Seel. ]

Why? That sounds terrible.

[dreamsallotted]

[Seel still felt close to Cashmere, she'd been a better friend than a lot of his friends back home had been. No one had ever offered to murder Cal before, for him. ]

Because it's the only way I can still see my son. I'd rather see him miserable and broken than not see him at all.

[64th]

Oh. [ she softens. Cashmere understands. how many times has she made herself suffer so she could feel closer to Gloss? ]

I get it. Are you okay?

[survivorsguilt]

Oh, thank fuck. Have I mentioned you're basically the best?

[Ellie hasn't interacted much with Cashmere outside of some snarking, but right now, she's feeling plenty of gratitude towards her. ...She wonders if she misses Connor to the point where it's painful too.]

video;

[64th]

Not as often as I'd like to hear it. [ she grins. ] So you're coming, then?

[ she misses Connor terribly. it's lonely without him. ]

[survivorsguilt]

[It feels like it's sitting over them like a cloud, but Ellie doesn't wanna bring it up.]

Duh. [She leans in.] You're cool, right? I can drink?

(Lucretia considers her reply carefully before answering.)

I'm in– does it matter particularly if we've met before, or not? I understand if this invitation is only open to friends.

(It really would very nice to be able to put what she's been seeing in the mirrors aside, even if only for an evening.)

audio

[64th]

It's open to everyone. What's that saying? The more the merrier.

[scholiast]

Alright. In that case, I suppose I'll see you there.

Do you know if things like... like this happen often?

[closerift]

Excellent. [ What a quality person, that Cashmere. ] Is there anything I can bring?

video;

[64th]

Do you have alcohol?

video;

[closerift]

[ "DO YOU HAVE ALCOHOL"... ]

I absolutely do. What would you like?
