Hello. My name is Lucretia.

I know things are rough right now, and that we're all preparing for - well, for war, maybe. And I don't want to diminish the importance of that, or the work that anyone is doing. We need to be ready for whatever happens.

But I think we've all been a little stressed lately, and there's nothing like a shitty work-life balance to kill productivity, you know? And - it may not be midsummer here, but it sure feels like it.

So. Two days from now, there will be an Ice Festival in the imported housing district, outside building 4-3. [ It's just her backyard. This is very professional, it's fine. ] Anyone is welcome. I only ask that everyone maintain a minimum level of civility. If you have a beef with someone, leave it at the door.

Food and entertainment will be provided, but if anyone knows any ice spells and would be willing to help out, please feel free to volunteer.

This is BYOB. Any questions, let me know. Thank you.

Give me three reasons why not.

[madamdirector]

One. My dignity.

Two. Your dignity.

Three. We still have to live here after this.

Lucretia's Sick Snow Shit.

[madamdirector]

I promise you there are people here who 100% do not get your slang. I don't want to gross anybody out.

[restinglichface]

[That gets a laugh out of Lup, sharp and striking, loud as anything.]

I'm guessin' Lucy's Wild Ride won't work either, huh?

[madamdirector]

Remember that dignity I mentioned?

[restinglichface]

Boo. You just want to make this another boring Bureau bash. C'mon, let a gal spice it up a little. Dignity doesn't mean shit here.

[madamdirector]

Well, I imagine if you don't have any in the first place...

[ She's kidding. Like, almost 100% kidding. Let's say 99% kidding. ]

My bashes are anything but boring, thank you very much.

[oooh SHIT

naturally, it just makes Lup laugh]

Fine fine. You do your thing, I'll do mine. Just don't be surprised when I pop in to spice up your whole shindig.

[madamdirector]

Oh, I'm counting on that.

It wouldn't be a party without you.
