Let's make the most of the night...

[holycraponacracker]

Who: Penny and YOU!
What: Penny's birthday party
When: 6:00pm Nov. 30th
Where: The ballroom
Rating: Um... let's go with PG for now

Penny, with the help of the ghosts, decorated the ballroom with bright neon colors (pink, orange, yellow, etc) and laid out a table full of food and a bar (also stocked with non-alcoholic drinks). She has some pop music playing and has a glass of beer in her hand, looking cute in a little black dress. She waits eagerly for her guests to arrive!

(The ghosts are to deliver an invitation to the Once-ler, that asks in super sweet terms for him to come.)

[ She returns the confused look! Touching, even kissing, between strangers can be common enough. ]

If I need an excuse. Fondness, perhaps.

[righttrack]

You'd just do that regularly, you mean? [He pauses, unsure if that's mildly creepy or kind of touching. But then... Fondness. He smiles. Even with the 'perhaps', he likes how it sounds.] Well, perhaps I'd return that fondness.

[heloise]

[ She quirks her head slightly to the side. ]

Have I made you uncomfortable?

[righttrack]

Oh! No, you haven't. [He's quick to assure her even if he's not sure what the situation is.] I was just surprised! Most people are more reserved in their affections by my time.

[heloise]

Here I thought everything would be better in the future.

[righttrack]

...Oh.

[That makes him feel bad; he hates to bring bad news.]

Well, some things are... A lot of things, really.

[heloise]

[ Lucrezia smiles. She was half-teasing! ]

Tell me about the things that are better.

[righttrack]

Well, there are the obvious ones... Like communication! You can talk to people all around the world with basically no hassle. I think that's pretty impressive, if you actually give it thought.

[heloise]

Oh! I have heard of those. When one writes to produce light instead of ink?

[righttrack]

Huh? [Does she mean like pixels on a screen...? He's not sure.] Well, yes! And sound, you can talk to someone anywhere in the world using a phone, which is... Really complicated stuff I don't totally understand.

[heloise]

[ WOW THAT'S EVEN MORE MINDBLOWING. ] One could hear the other's voice from a great distance?

[righttrack]

Yes! [He laughs.] Wonderful, isn't it? And you can even see people who are far away, with the technology now.
