Who: Nightingale and you!
Broadcast: Video to all
Action: On the Bishop
When: Now!

[When the video starts, Nightingale is just facing the camera, sitting in her room. Her fox is circling her, like it's demanding attention, but she's just ignoring it. Notably, the fox is also wearing a little purple party hat.]

So... As of yesterday, I've been here for a year.

[She pauses for a minute.]

A year by my world's calendar, not Earth's. Earth's calendar is stupid.

Anyway, when you factor in the time I spent at my last interdimensional shithole, it's been about a year and a half since I've been home. I know there's a lot of people here who have been gone a lot longer than I have, but... The homesickness just doesn't get much easier, does it? I'm even starting to miss the shitty fast food place right near my place.

Shit, I'm even starting to miss the last interdimensional shithole. At least there we had a purpose, even if the place sucked. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that we're not having half the people here getting killed once a week, but... There's no goal here. We just try to get nebulous 'ratings' to win at a completely unknown 'end'. We're being fucked with constantly, and...

[She has to take a moment before she continues, taking a deep breath. Then she lifts the camera, turning it around, to show a large crate on the ground, opened. There are: A large pile of party hats and poppers, several rubber snakes and small stuffed birds, and below that, quite a large number of what look to be glass bottles. (Of course, every single thing is purple.)]

That got a lot more depressing than I meant it to. Anyway, since I've been here for a year, I got this from the 'sponsors'? The drinks taste like shit, but they're strong, so... If you want to get nostalgic and talk about your homes or whatever and try to be less homesick, or if you just want to get smashed, I guess, party on the Bishop. Everyone's invited, and people from that shitty castle have drinks reserved already.

[a small laugh]

May I attend if I don't plan to drink anything, Nightingale?

[experiencepoints]

Of course. But there's not much else besides moping about our homes here.

[bloodbiter]

Moping? Well... I would like to hear more about everyone's homes regardless. It should be interesting.

[experiencepoints]

Well, you're in luck. That's the plan here.

[bloodbiter]

I will see you shortly, then.

[experiencepoints]

Yeah, I'll be waiting.

Hi.

I don't know either.

But I think the amount of alcohol I need just went way up.

[bloodbiter]

You can't simply ask them to stop?

[experiencepoints]

They don't seem to understand that!

[bloodbiter]

Tell them that they should go find the supplies necessary for a proper celebration. That should make them depart for at least a while.

[experiencepoints]

I told them I didn't have supplies.

Their response indicated they may have some sort of party supply magic bullshit.

[bloodbiter]

...Are they - sorcerers?

[???]

[experiencepoints]

I don't know!

[bloodbiter]

Perhaps we should ignore them and let them do as they will?

[she's not trained for this!!]

[experiencepoints]

I am extremely worried about 'what they will' is!

[bloodbiter]

All the same, they seem rather determined...

[experiencepoints]

They are and I don't understand this.

[bloodbiter]

What is it that's confusing? They wish to help you feel better in... their own way.

[experiencepoints]

I'm homesick and want to be drunk, so there are ponies forcing a party on me via supplies dropped by the asshole forces imprisoning us here.

Why is this my life?

[bloodbiter]

I... That is a rather broad question.

[modern speech still throws her off sometimes, medieval fantasy game 2 strong]

[experiencepoints]

It's also a rhetorical one.

I just want to get too drunk to think about this shit for a while.

[bloodbiter]

Take care not to make yourself sick.

[but other than that she's not going to stop her]

I will admit that when you made your broadcast, I was looking forward to hearing about your world.

[experiencepoints]

... I can tell you about it, if you'd like. What I remember, anyway.

[bloodbiter]

I should like to hear, if you're willing. Being able to learn about different worlds is one of the things I like most about this strange place.
