I know everyone is excited for Christmas, but...

Miss Noel's birthday is also that day. I'd like to throw some kind of party for her... since she loves the holiday so much as well.

If anyone's interested, please let me know. I'm sure she'd be happy to see you all. And I could use the help.

Oh! But please don't tell her! I want it to be a

[He has zero interest in this. Less than zero, if that were possible. He is quite passionately disinterested.

And yet, here he is, responding. Because he needs Ada, of course. Because he has some use for her still. It has nothing to do with how happy and excited she sounds, or how that smile on her face makes something in him... nauseous, yes, that's it. Not warm and fuzzy. Never.]

Is there anything I might do help you, my lady?

[purethingsonly]

Oh! Would you?

[She liked working with Vincent best of all.]

Re: [Video]

[nightraysewerat]

Of course I would. If it's your project, Miss Ada, I want nothing more than to provide any aid I may.

[Please let it be something easy and fast.]

[For a moment she considers it. What he should help her with.]

Oh I know! Why don't you help me with her cake?

[Sounds fun, right?]

[thebutler_epic]

My, my.

[Was that a call for help? Well, for the sake of Phantomhive hospitality...] That sounds like quite an endeavor.

[purethingsonly]

Well... I just... don't want it to be forgotten, in all the holiday excitment. I want to do something nice for her. I know she loves this time of year a lot after all.

I understand, madame. [Ciel shares a December birthday, after all - much to the earl's chagrin]

Perhaps I may be of service?

[purethingsonly]

Would you?

[She would be very grateful.]

[stfuelly]

Does Elliot know that you're planning this yet?

[For once, she doesn't sound disapproving.]

[purethingsonly]

Ah. I don't think so...

[She hadn't thought to ask him yet, but she knew it was probably important to let him know...]

[stfuelly]

[Ahem. Preparing the patented Nightray family tsun.]

I suppose I should help you, then. So that it's not screwed up this time.

[purethingsonly]

[Oh. A bit surprised. In a good way.]

Really? That would be wonderful Miss Vanessa!

[purethingsonly]

[It's heartwarming to see even strangers so willing. The people here really are wonderful.]

Well... some decorations... I want to make sure she realizes its for her too, not just for Christmas.

[A celebration on top of a celebration.]

[purethingsonly]

Oh? Who's that?

[That's wonderful. She needs this knowledge. And probably all the help she can get. She's more of a party-goer than a party thrower...]

[forgetsyounot]

Miss Noel? Noel Vermillion, you mean?

[Shirley only knows of one...! She never thought to ask about a birthday.]

I had no idea. I'm feeling a lot better now, so...I'd love to help however I can!

[purethingsonly]

Mm hm. Is she a friend of yours as well?

[She doesn't know all of Noel's friends. That's why she wanted to reach out to everyone. To make sure anyone could come.]

[forgetsyounot]

Oh--

Ah, well, I'd like to think that we are. [a chuckle] Though really, I've only met her once.

I wonder if she remembers me...

[purethingsonly]

I see. [Ada nodes.]

I'm sure she'd be happy if you came.

[That's just how Noel is. Very friendly.]
