Announcement

[tikibarkerbirb]

[The feed turns on with a squawky yawn.]

Good morning everybody. I have a very special announcement for you! The Citizens of the Bayou want to open their doors to all of you. As a thank you for saving their lands.

[The camera changes, giving a lovely shot of Bourbon Street in the Blue Bayou. Gracey Manor looms in the fog.]

Here on Bourbon Street, on Saturday, February thirteenth, there will be a huge Valentine's Day party! There will be food and dance- but I am told that you will have to dress up.

It starts when the sun goes down and the gates of Gracey Manor open.

[The Barker Bird shivers.]

Have fun I guess!

Oooh, fancy!

[tikibarkerbirb]

Top hat and tails, mi amigo.

[creepyoldguy]

Reptilian or mammalian?

[tikibarkerbirb]

Avian. *squawk*

[creepyoldguy]

Really? Huh.

You volunteering for donations?

[tikibarkerbirb]

No way, Jose. These feathers are attached at the other end.

[buff_dandelion]

Um.... What's Valentine's Day? [It sounds very important if they're holding a fancy event for it.]

[tikibarkerbirb]

Its to show all the people you love that you care!

[buff_dandelion]

Oh! [And she blushes a bit.]

What does one usually during this festival?

[tikibarkerbirb]

There's a lot of dancing, and eating.

[And more romantic fair but Barker isn't into that much.]

[grandduchess_anya]

A dance at a manor surrounded in fog, you say? That sounds a lot of fun, right?

(At the same time, Anya is totally aware of the fact that she needs to save some more money for her Valentines Day party outfit. #WaitressWoes)

[tikibarkerbirb]

And on the street! *squawk!* New Orleans is good at parties.

[grandduchess_anya]

Ohh... That must be one big party we are going to have soon.

[tikibarkerbirb]

Not that big, wait until Fantasy Faire is open- the parties will get even bigger!

[grandduchess_anya]

Okay, that must be the larger land. Maybe one day we can clear it from all the Corrosion.

Vincent was giving the Tiki birds a blank look. Sorry, but he's a little confused at the moment. There is apparantly a day, here... a celebration?... ...that coincidentally happens to share his last name? He has no idea what this party is supposed to be about, and he's a little hesitant to ask. It sounds like it'd be a classy affair; food and dance with a dress code, and something he'd at least tolerate (maybe even enjoy to a small degree, if he was in the mood to socialize that is). It was just... ...that name. HIS name.

Curiosity got the better of him. He had to know. Just what sort of thing were they celebrating? Because the name gave him no clues.

"...Valentine's... Day?" he started, a little more hesitantly than he would have liked to show. "What does this day celebrate?"


[ooc: playing with the headcanon that since his world isn't Earth, there wouldn't be the same holidays here, at least definitely not by the same names. ^.^;]

Re: Video

[tikibarkerbirb]

*squawk!* It's for celebrating all the love birds, amigo!

[Leia looks mildly suspicious at the news that they'll have to dress up.]

It's not gonna be one of those boring grown-up parties where everybody just stands around talking and stuff, is it?
