[ Video ] End of Summer Potluck
From: Áine
Date: September 20th
[ Yona makes a rare appearance on the BBS this afternoon, looking unusually serious. ]
For those who haven't heard yet, or who hadn't pieced together what happened from the... excitement at Ra's temple earlier, Izumo Kusanagi is no longer here. For the time being, Shizuo will be handling matters at his bar, but beyond that... [ She trails off, looking uncertain, because she's a little at a loss at how to handle Izumo's unexpected disappearance herself, let alone how to offer words of comfort or reassurance to anyone else feeling the pain of his loss.
But she shakes her head, as if physically trying to shake off the sadness of the half the cause for this announcement before turning to the other half. ]
I had planned to leave a message here this morning anyway. With summer officially coming to an end now, I thought we might have an afternoon to celebrate it. The goddess Áine governs the summer season and I thought to throw an outdoor picnic at the temple here as the season officially changes to autumn on the 22nd. Shizuo and Izumo had been helping me with preparations and planning for it and have said if we keep the meal as a "pot-luck", there should be plenty of food for everyone who shows up. Anyone is welcome to come if you bring a dish or a drink of some sort, whether we've met yet or not.
I know this is going to be hard for some, considering the other reason for my message - and I considered canceling my plans myself for a little bit - but I also think that maybe this is also needed to counter the difficult times some have been having of late. So, either way, I hope to see some of you there. I'll include the location of my temple at the end of this message and if anyone has any questions about it, please feel free to contact me to ask.
[ As stated, after this message is an attachment with the location of her temple, for those not familiar with it. (A mingle will be posted on the IC date of September 22.) ]

[He's no good at offers like this, and honestly Dust figures Yona has a dozen people she'd turn to before she asked him for emotional support. But the offer is out there anyway, if she recognizes it. He does owe her help, if she needs it. And would be glad to give it even without owing.]
[Not to say she couldn't ask for some mundane help as well.]

[ Yona blinks in surprise at his response, head tilted slightly to the side. ]
Dust, you don't owe me anything at all. But I appreciate your offer all the same. I hope you'll come join us, at least?

I'll look forward to seeing you, then!

[He might just be teasing her a little at this point.]
no subject
Yes, in my view.

I don't think that's how this works.
no subject
Too bad I'm going with how I think it works, huh?
[His smile creeps slowly towards a grin.]

She just huffs out a breath that is half-laugh and half-sigh. ]
You're going to be difficult about this, aren't you?
no subject
I don't know any other way to be.
no subject
As you say. I will see you at the potluck then, Dust.
