Hello. I am Alhaitham, scholar and Scribe of the Akademiya. I have been informed by my gracious and kind senior that this network is an excellent communication tool.

It has been brought to my attention that I am severely lacking in social interactions, and that it may be detrimental to my health to stay inside and read all day.

Despite the many flaws in my personality, I am very knowledgeable in a wide range of topics, and am a thorough partner in any academic debate. While my way of speaking is quite strangely awkward and disjointed for a man who studies words for a living, my only criteria for judgement is that you are doing your best for your educational background.

Kaveh will be hosting a small party to celebrate the acquisition of a new home. I look forward to exploring the joys of friendship there with you. If you have any further questions, please forward them to me or to my kind senior, Kaveh.

[A few hours later, this post is amended with the following:]

Disregard the contents of this post; Kaveh made it using my shellphone while I was not paying attention. The party that he mentioned above is also not happening.

[A second amendment, around half an hour later:]

Ignore Alhaitham!! The party will be happening!! I will be sending invites soon!!

[ooc note: despite this being written from Alhaitham's shellphone, Kaveh is the one who made the initial post. responses will come from either one of them depending on the time (before or after Alhaitham discovers what Kaveh has done), so do specify which time period your character is responding to!]

there is no force on this world or any other that can force a man that bullheaded to do anything.

Spoken like a true friend.

So you two are close, then?

[oh, it's this question again. he never really knows how to answer.]

...we've known each other a long time.

[ Well, that could mean a number of things, but Clive is never one to push a subject more than it needs to go. ]

I see. Well, if you are both in agreement to the visit I hope the occasion is a warming one.

[ He is by no means expecting an invite, but might consider bringing something by for as a gift... ]

what, are you not coming by?

[why wouldn't he invite the crew, Clive???]

Most don't consider me a party sort of person.

It's a get-together, I'm not planning anything wild.

And I thought I'd invite the crew. That includes you, Clive.

It's a generous offer, thank you.

So long as the alcohol consumption at a minimum, I can't foresee anything "wild" happening.

[ Because he knows, Kaveh. He knows. ]

I'm sure I don't know what you're implying, but I wasn't planning to have any alcohol anyway.

[ He is denying all allegations. ]

Of course.:)

Regardless, I look forward to it. Is there something I should bring with me for the occasion?

Probably plates and cups...I've borrowed a grill and there's enough stone in the yard to get a fire going if we need it, but plates are harder to borrow.

I'll be glad to see you.

Alright. That shouldn’t be a problem.

[ Sidequests! Clive is great at those! ]

Glad for the invite. I’ll see you then.

I'm looking forward to it.

[And thanks to Cid, now Alhaitham is too.]

Maybe if you loosened those laces you'd be better at it.

I’ve seen exactly where your “loosening” up has brought me and it’s usually in the middle of a mess.

Clearly you have yet to learn the "grow and change" lesson from before.

Forgive me if that “grow and change” doesn’t involve merrymaking.

[ Always on his ass!!! ]

Then I think it's high time that it does.

You had a great time at the last party. Whatever happened to that guy?

[He's not even gonna interrupt but he is going to sit here and watch because it's funny to see it happen to someone else sorry clive.]

[ Betrayal!!!! WE'LL SEE IF HE HAS YOUR BACK AROUND CID WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO YOU (he will) ]

We aren't going to talk about that.

[ PLEASE. NOT THAT AGAIN. ]

But I am... growing, I mean. Years ago I would have never accepted an invitation to something like this, much less be invited. So it's a start.

And hopefully you'll have more chances.

Just watch your alcohol intake.

[Even if there might not be any at the party ~~lmfao he'll fix that~~ just, you know. Future warning.]

You’re never going to let this go, are you?

Not at all. Just consider it a fond memory for the two of us.

And the rest of the crew who witnessed it.

I think you're confusing the meaning of "fond".
