Yo!

[Josuke gives the camera a sharp look.]

Got a couple orders of business, so listen up!

First thing's first—there's a lot of you getting involved in trying to take down that Lunatic guy, right?

Well, I don't plan on fighting, but I don't plan on letting anyone die, either. If you need help, I can fix up most injuries, so keep that in mind. It doesn't matter if it's just a tiny scratch or if you're hanging by a thread, just keep your communicators close and shout of you need help!

...should probably mention that I'm not Registered, though, so if anyone can help with Porter access, that'd be great.

[Go figure something like this would happen right after he decides to go the Unsettled route. Anyway...]

Second and last up—and way unrelated to the former...

My work's given me this Mardi Gras masquerade thing to organize! Sounds fun, right? But I got a whole ton of stuff to buy and put together and it's an insane workload for just one person. So...anyone wanna lend a guy a hand? Can't pay you, but if people are willing to take IOUs or something, I'm good for those. At the moment, I need help with shopping, making posters, building a stage, and decorating! Which is like, pretty much everything.

[Ahaha...hah...]

...any takers?

Well, I can certainly give you a hand at decorating. Being ever generous and kind, I have helped friends set things up nice and pretty for a couple of weddings before, and you could say I've got some professional experience as well.

Oh, and I helped re-decorate a whore house, though I do realize that might be a somewhat strange thing to have on your resume.

[unbreaker]

[He's listening along and nodding his head all like, yeah, this sounds great, wedding experience and all that could be a real big help and then...Luvander drops the bomb.

And Josuke just kind of. Stares for a second. Before...]

...I think my boss'll prefer tasteful decorations.

[As much as Mardi Gras is (wrongfully) associated with toplessness and the like, that's not the kind of party Josuke's trying to promote.]

So, if you think you can swing that, then...sure. I'd appreciate the help. Got a name?

[theveilisin]

[Luvander grins widely, because honestly.]

I do strongly resent the implication that I would have decorated Our Lady Of A Thousand Fans - that's to say, the whore house - in any manner which could be described as tasteless. It's a high-class establishment.

Besides, the mistress would've had my hide if I didn't do my very best.

[He shrugs lightly, and clearly his claimed offence is just so much hyperbole.]

Just send me directions and I most certainly will. I'm Luvander.

[unbreaker]

[...oh brother.]

Nice to meet you. [Is it? Who even knows!] I'm Josuke.

[He takes a second to pound out a text with the directions to the venue.]

I gotta go shopping for all the supplies first, though. So if there's anything special you think we should have, let me know!

[debauchewy]

[Whiiiile the note on healing is interesting, he won't comment on it, instead contacting someone else in regards to it and focusing on another point. After all, he'd like to talk to Josuke more, such a cute boy.]

Why don't you take the time to explain it a little, hm? Mardi Gras? It's not something I'm familiar with.

video/

[unbreaker]

I had to research it a little myself, never really celebrated it where I'm from.

[Some people do, but Morioh's pretty quiet, you know? And Mardi Gras is decidedly...not.]

The gist of it? Looks like a celebration with deep roots in Western religion, but as far as I can tell, it's open to pretty much anyone and everyone. People enjoy rich foods and drink, and they party really hard! Masks and costumes are also popular, which is why the party I'm hosting's gonna be a masque.

[!]

Hey, are you gonna come?

video/

[debauchewy]

We'll be sharing the new experience together then.

[Mixed feelings about not quiet. On one hand he likes colourful, vibrant, things pumped with life, but on another, he likes things personal, one on one- though it could always lead to that eventually, right?]

Western- Christianity? Also something I'm not familiar with, though some of the terms catch my attention, 'god bless you' after a sneeze, hallelujah as an exclamation, references to the holy spirit- [Idle chat, said rather thoughtfully.]

Oh, masks and costumes? [His brows up, smiling a little wider.] Though I have yet to find anywhere best for something like costumes. [Been pretty good finding just about everything else though...] What sort of costumes and masks?

I see no reason not to attend so far, would you like if I were to come and see you?

[Up pops this odango-haired girl's face. She looks into the camera with a cheery smile.]

[She has no idea who this Lunatic guy is… but jeeze, he sure doesn't sound good! Admittedly… she's been staying out of the fighting business while here, thus far anyway.]

A masquerade party?! That does sound like a lot of fun! I'd be happy to help you out with the party planning!

[Sure they've never met, but if you're hoping to meet new people, might as well pipe up on the network, right?]

[video]

[unbreaker]

[This is one guy right here who won't make fun of her hair.]

I'm looking to get all the help I can get! Think you'd be up for helping me shop for supplies, uhhh....?

[Help him out here with a name?]

Re: [video]

[moon_buns]

Oh! Sorry!

[She had been so excited to help with a party… she totally forgot to introduce herself!]

I'm Ts-- i mean… I'm Usagi Tsukino! It's nice to meet you!

video because im obsessed

[trickstar]

Trying to pass your work off onto everyone else, huh?

video i'm not complaining

[unbreaker]

I'd only be doing that if I wasn't helping still!!

[trickstar]

Oh, and just convince them that painting the fence is a lot more fun than it seems!

[fistofthejoestar]

[just gliding right past the Lunatic stuff, because. well, he knows that his family can take care of themselves and his worry won't change much. best for everyone if he kept it to himself.]

I'd be happy to help however I can. I don't know if I'd be much use for the creative things, but...[he trails off, laughing]

You can bounce ideas off me, at the very least.

[unbreaker]

Actually, I got Giorno helping out with a suit, but I'm kind of at a loss for masks.

[And Jonathan, being a gentleman, is sure to know quality when he sees it, right?]

We could look around together if you got time. Maybe take Hyperion for a walk while we're at it?

video;

[fistofthejoestar]

I'd like that very much. It's been some time since I really worked with masks; it'll be nice to return to that, even if this is a bit different.

Video, he put his bandages on and fixed his hair for this

[cephalothorax]

I'm happy to help with Porter access - it's definitely better than leaving anyone injured.

...I'm. Not sure I understand Mardi Gras, though. It's a party, right?

Video, oh chrollo oh josuke is so flattered

[unbreaker]

[The Porter! Josuke almost completely forgot he'd asked about that!]

That'll make it a lot easier to get from point A to point B if people are in trouble. Thanks, uh—? Sorry, you are...?

[So he can thank you properly!]

And yeah, Mardi Gras's a pretty big celebration. Religious meanings for some folks, and for others it's all about cutting loose!

he should be, man, he should be

[cephalothorax]

Chrollo!

[And that's it. But as for cutting loose... that makes him smile, thankfully not a real smile.]

Cutting loose, hm? That seems dangerous in a place like this. Hopefully everyone will still... show a little restraint. At least a little!

[seesthestars]

[You're a good kid, Josuke. Especially the part about staying away from Lunatic. Good, smart kid.]

[Anyway...]

Do you even know anything about Mardi Gras!

[unbreaker]

I know plenty!

[He spent something like twenty minutes browsing through search engine results—that makes him enough of an expert on the thing.]

[seesthestars]

...You just did a Google search, didn't you?

[Video]

[anthropophagite]

I can try helping you with the Mardi Gras.

[Video]

[unbreaker]

[Right on, Kaneki. You're a true bro.]

Wanna help me with setup the night of?

[Video]

[anthropophagite]

[ he is amazing yeah. not. ]

Sure. Just tell em what you need, and I'll get to it.
