An Invitation

Attention, citizens and guests of Paixao:

Despite the recent string of unfortunate events, please let me assure you that Paixao is a peaceful place. Our citizens are making every accomodation possible for you, our guests. Apartments are being emptied, and soon you will be allowed to apply for them. We are making further expansions to our schools so that all of those eligible can attend.

Paixao is a land of tradition, however. It is hard to believe that we are almost upon our centennial year. Our founders did not expect much when they set foot on this island, expecting only to live in isolationist peace. But we have had our highs and lows, our periods of economic growth and bustling trade, and it is due to all this that Paixao is what it is today, and can accomplish all these things. We must never forget that.

Therefore, it is my pleasure as mayor to invite you to our 95th Annual Foundation Day Festival. Admission, food, games and entertainment are complimentary, and catering will be generously provided by the Ersesat Company. However, because of this, I must ask everyone who plans to be there to RSVP in this post, so that our caterers will know how much food to prepare.

Though most of the fair is free of charge to everyone, this year we will also be holding a paid raffle, to help raise funding for our research into offworld transportation. The winner will receive his or her choice of prizes, the nature of which will be given in more detail at the event itself.

The festivities begin at the Jogo da Crianca Fairgrounds in three days' time, and I am also planning to attend. I hope to see all of you there.

Thank you,

The Mayor of Paixao

A festival? It sounds like fun. I don't know if I've ever been to a festival before...

I think I'd like to go.

Thank you. It seems so nice that you and your citizens are opening up such a festival to those of us who aren't native to the area.

I love parties! I would cherish the opportunity to meet Paixao's most-adored citizens!

Oooh, a party?? Count me in!

Free food!? I'm in!

A party sounds great! I, uh... is it okay if I bring a date friend?

[identity profile] tilcharmed.livejournal.com 2007-07-11 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yes, I would like to come!

[identity profile] bastard-fox.livejournal.com 2007-07-12 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
A festival you say? It sounds... like it will be quite a sight. What fun. Plenty of humans to terrorize. Oh yes, such fun.

A festival sounds like a nice place to meet up with friends allies people I know... Count me in, and perhaps up to three others.

I will be attending. I never pass up a chance to play games. :)

[identity profile] birddefender.livejournal.com 2007-07-13 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
I will also be there. The Foundation Day of a city is an important one.

[identity profile] sparkplasma.livejournal.com 2007-07-13 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, sir? I don't know if this is the best time to celebrate anything... the recent kidnappings really ought to be addressed first. It's a serious issue and a lot of people are worried about it.

[identity profile] sparkplasma.livejournal.com 2007-07-13 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... I see. Thank you, then.

If your police need any more help, I'd be happy to lend my expertise.

I'm already embroiled up to my eyeballs, but... if you insist.

[identity profile] thewaspwoman.livejournal.com 2007-07-15 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Heh...heh... heh... Festival? Free food? I'm sure there will be some interesting people there. Psh, you can count me in!

[identity profile] halvedhowl.livejournal.com 2007-07-15 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...? I don't believe I've ever been to one before... So I think I'll be going!

[identity profile] ageless-sailor.livejournal.com 2007-07-17 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like this could be interesting. It's been decades a while since I've been to a really good party!

[identity profile] isaacmustdie.livejournal.com 2007-07-18 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
So it's true that you're here. Where exactly are you?

[identity profile] ageless-sailor.livejournal.com 2007-07-21 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
What's true? I apologize if my memory's not what it should be, but...?

[identity profile] isaacmustdie.livejournal.com 2007-07-25 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Ivan said you were about. Perhaps we can use the journals to talk a bit more efficiently?

[identity profile] ageless-sailor.livejournal.com 2007-07-25 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Ivan. I see. I believe I remember who you were, if only vaguely... but I do seem to recall you being something of an enemy, if one worth respecting. How do I know this isn't a trap like the one at... Jupiter Lighthouse, wasn't it?

[identity profile] isaacmustdie.livejournal.com 2007-07-26 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
... ... The things I do, and you remember that one. Lovely.

We're captives here. I want out more than I want people dead or trapped. Is that enough?

[identity profile] ageless-sailor.livejournal.com 2007-07-26 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
You fail to convince me... but I'll talk to you. It is true that many people have been captured from various... places, and captives are rarely so for a good reason.

[identity profile] kotetsu-blade.livejournal.com 2007-07-20 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'll go.

[identity profile] sir-doctor.livejournal.com 2007-07-21 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
This sounds worth checking out, and who am I to miss out on a party?

[identity profile] hypnotistsnake.livejournal.com 2007-07-30 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm, I sssupossse you may count me in as well. I've never tried human food before, although the monkeysss do have parties sssometimesss and they're all trying to be human.

[identity profile] detachable-soul.livejournal.com 2007-08-01 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
A festival? Like the ones with fireworks? It sounds fun! I'd love to go.
