The celebration

[srwu_mods]

"Hey guys, the place feels like a morgue today. Glum faces everywhere... someone died or something?"

Look who's back at Sakihama - FightSaber is in the hangar, and Loni is walking around the base corridors. He seems to be heading towards the kitchens, in search of cake and other festive foods.

"Me and friends just took down a big cell of those Good Men weirdoes, so I'm here to resupply. Our victory calls for a celebration, let's party!"

"Masochist? Why're you calling me that again?"

"But yeah, thanks for telling me, I didn't know that." Loni puts a hand on his chin.

"That's the more reason to hold the party here. It'll help cheer everyone up."

...Sure. That sounds like a fine idea. All your friends here can come.

And they can tell you just how much they appreciate you.

"Are you trying to make fun of me?"

[way_of_vengeance]

Oh dear. That was hardly my intention.

Mistress, objectively speaking, we are making a joke of Mr. Gavin.

Does it still count if the joke writes itself?

I'm afraid it does.

Oh, dear, it seems I still have much to learn...

"Screw that. If you're all going to hate me just because I arrived at a bad moment and had the guts to ask what's going on rather than learn it all with telepathy or some other bullshit like that... well, nobody's forcing you to come!"

Loni throws his hands in the air.

I did tell you that there had been deaths, when you arrived-enough that you could have read it in the newspaper...but you still thought it was a good idea to throw a party for your own achievements, while everyone is in mourning...hm, Sayo, what do you think?

I believe the poet Ovid has some advice that would prove particularly helpful to Mr. Gavin's attempts to fit in here.

Oh? Could it be-

'If you want to be loved, be lovable.'

"I didn't want to... are you saying I'm not... Ugh!" Loni spins on his heel and walks away in frustration.
