[ He's making this post while he's also featuring on a livestream against his will, so naturally he's on perma-text. He's also managed to make this post visible for everyone except Louis, or at least he hopes?? As long as the tech advice he got was sound, and he'd got it from Armand so it's really a 50/50 on that. ]

Lestat here.

I come to you with a question in burning need of an answer, but first, a little context.

I have thrown many parties in my time, and have attended even more, and though I'm not at all interested in making this world a facsimile of my own, I am looking to cut loose a little, as the phrase goes.

It is my companion's birthday on Wednesday, October 4th. He doesn't enjoy attention, unlike myself, and will probably loathe the idea of any kind of celebration being thrown in honour of the occasion for a great many reasons, but I so rarely listen to his reason that I feel it would be more of a surprise to him if I didn't try to host a little get-together. And he deserves a little predictability.

I know he wasn't incredibly social before my arrival, but even without familiarity I can't see any reason why you'd be reluctant to attend a gathering with free food.

So, for my question, I would like suggestions for a location. Perhaps a restaurant of some kind? Typically, I would pay someone to do all this planning for me with only a vision in mind, but this City is nothing if not encouraging of being self-sufficient.

Also, if anyone out there is a musician: I have a few guitars, some drums. I'd like to play a song or two as a source of entertainment, and we all know solo acts are never quite as successful as a whole band.

For everyone else, please feel free to come along. Details will be added when I have them.

It's sure to be one hell of a night.

For his birthday, it's practically perfect, as I'm sure you'll see for yourself - as the one to give me such a suggestion I have to insist on you coming along.

Which, speaking of, could you drop the location of this joint?

[ Lestat, don't say joint. Just because you know the slang for something doesn't mean you should say it. ]

I'd like to do some reconnaissance, perhaps pre-shift those pesky tables.

[inlovewithmycar]

Yeah sure. Gimme just a tick and I'll mark its location on the map.



You know it just struck me that it would be more convenient if we had actual street names. ...Actually that gives me an idea.

[perfectdevil]

An idea? What kind of idea? You can't say something like that and keep me hanging!

[inlovewithmycar]

I mean, I can. I am perfectly capable of doing that.

But the question is whether or not I will.

[perfectdevil]

...

...

Then will you?

[inlovewithmycar]

Sure.

We should name the streets. Easier than having to whip out a visual aid every time you need to direct someone somewhere.

[ Lestat thanks his lucky stars that Crowley isn't as annoying as he himself is, and chose not to drag that out. The last thing he needs is a reminder of how annoying he can be. ]

What a delightful idea, and so bold of you to suggest it. Such responsibility!

Will it be a first come first served basis? Oh, and how will you cope with any suggestions that are utterly terrible?

[inlovewithmycar]

[Oh Lestat, you have no idea. He's playing the long game.]

What sort of suggestion could be, as you describe, "utterly terrible"?

[perfectdevil]

Something unfashionable, you know. Something bland, uninspiring.

[ Le duh. That's duh in French. ]
