[Good evening, Thor!  If you're bored and flipping through your guide, you may come across the scene of a rather busy dinner show, in a relatively large theatre somewhere.  And although you can't see the announcer, you may or may not recognize his voice as one of the ship's many refugees...

Not that it matters.  The show is about to begin.]

Welcome

I'm sure you've already formed your own opinion on that front, by the sound of it.

Re: [AUDIO]

[11ady]

Opinions change. Mine do, at least.

Re: [AUDIO]

[completeglobal]

But first impressions are hardly as vacillating. [the sound of a short exhalation of air; namely a scoff, tinged with slight amusement.]

For clarification, may I ask for your current, most decidedly honest opinion of me? I'm curious.

[AUDIO] Would you be ok with her asking him out? 8|

[11ady]

I don't like you very much which is not to say I don't like you at all. Curiosity killed the cat but how? There are, after all, many ways to skin one.

[AUDIO] omg are you kidding. TOTALLY FINE 8D

[completeglobal]

Ha. Perhaps, but all-in-all, you're left with a dead cat.

But if we're to continue our liberal use of metaphors, a cat does have nine lives.

[AUDIO] great, now Miwako can stop bugging her lol

[11ady]

Point taken.

So how about we test that theory. I'm sure you're privy to the fact that there's going to be a party aboard in a few weeks. I'm usually not one to attend such affairs but responsibility entails it. Therein lies the problem of conforming to certain societal norms in order to avoid attracting attention...

I don't enjoy imposing on people but you did say you wanted to know what I think of you. Fair trade, Mr. Wesker. Permit me to inflict my company upon you and there may be plenty we can learn from each other.

[AUDIO] oh really? lol

[completeglobal]

[Well now. That's an interesting proposal there. Wesker isn't usually one for such social gatherings, but he is relatively intrigued. And he has no true reason to decline; it would hardly get in the way of his research.

And keeping up appearances was always important, after all.

A slight quip, first, though:] A date, then, you mean?

[AUDIO] Dress nice B|

[11ady]

If you're answering in the affirmative, call it what you will.

[AUDIO] hey, he has a nice suit or two B|

[completeglobal]

And how am I to decline an invitation presented to me so formally? Not only do I accept, but I look forward to it.

[AUDIO] it's a costume party; no she's not going as Lara Croft though, damn, I want

[11ady]

Acknowledged.

[AUDIO] y-yes, but he doesn't realize this yet B|;;;;

[completeglobal]

Is there any particular requirements for this party, so that I'm prepared? Other than the usual obligation to be more social than usual.

Re: [AUDIO] Now he does B]

[11ady]

It's a costume party. A bit troublesome but others seem to enjoy the idea of dressing as something other than themselves for a night.

Re: [AUDIO] oh lawdy

[completeglobal]

[There's a noticeable pause before he answers.] A chance to indulge in childish fantasies, you mean. How very whimsical. Have you chosen a costume for yourself?

[AUDIO]

[11ady]

I'm only attending to keep an eye on the proceedings. Security matters. Needless to say, I'll be armed.

[you can almost hear the smirk in her voice]

As for a costume, I've left that responsibility to someone else. A young up and coming designer aboard...

[AUDIO]

[completeglobal]

That's good to hear. I'll have no problem feeling safe in such company. [half politeness, half patronization, and only one of those halves was sincere. He won't clarify on which one, but it's an easy guess.]

You're either very brave or very trusting to put your image so freely in the hands of someone else. You can't mean to tell me you have no say in the matter?

Re: [AUDIO]

[11ady]

[she knows it's patronization but, sure, she'll let it slide]

Negotiations are on-going.
