[video] A spectacle with spectacles

[stay_classy_cat]

[Greetings Smashabitants. "Seth" presents to you today looking rather chipper and warm in his big, plushy scarf. Pink, yes, but the freckled blonde wears it well. Brings out the red in his eyes, it does.]

It's that time of the year again, isn't it? Flowers are trying in vain to peek their little heads through the snow and not get crushed underfoot, your RAs like miss Zelda busy hanging those adorably tacky heart-shaped banners and garlands everywhere, local murderers and being detained in our school, and yes, even love might be in the air!

[He clasps his hands together and props them under his chin with a dreamy sigh.]

It sounds like a perfect time to do something special in Host Club, doesn't it? This is your friendly reminder that this week's meeting will be in celebration of Valentine's Day and the theme will be glasses. Not fancy drinking glasses but the fashionable kind you wear on your face. I believe the proper term is "Meganekko", or something like that. Couples get extra snacks and desserts on the house!

[A thoughtful pause. He's a very thoughtful boy, really.]

...Well, I'm sure the world won't hold it against you or anything if you happen to be miserable and alone this year--just commercialism and the populous in general, and what have they ever done for you anyway, mm?

Unruly and violent pyromaniacs need not apply to Host Club, as always. Blaze.

Speaking of that though, I've got a bit of a brain-tickler for you, dear viewer. Hasn't anyone ever wondered why the school's stadium seems pre-programed with so many fantastic battling "areas"? Areas that, correct me if I'm wrong, often include the homelands of many people here before they ever arrived~?

And I suppose all the usual shenanigans like space carnivals and showy murderers these cupid bots everyone is expecting go without saying--everyone's become just so compliant and thoughtless to expect strange things to happen around here.

Or maybe it's just me!

Anyway, see you in Host Club--Room AE-13. Theme is glasses. Don't forget~

I thought it was a little weird too, but there had been a teacher here before me who'd been to the place the stage emulates so I always figured he programmed it in.

[He sure as heck programmed in that fake Ultimate Chimera that attacked him way back when, anyway.]

But I guess it is pretty sad when we just take the weird stuff for granted, huh...

Do they have to be a specific style of glasses?

[stay_classy_cat]

Oh really? I just find it so interesting that there's some kind of precognition about it, don't you agree?

Oh yes, many people take many things for granted~

Specific style? Like yours? You'll fit right in.

[psinothing]

Maybe it's not so much precognition as much as... Well, people from all points in time have ended up here, right? It's entirely possible that some version of ourselves have been here before. Actually, come to think of it, I know that's happened with some people. As for why that happens in the first place, I've already theorized that it's the high concentration of both magic and powerful technology all in one place at once. Actually, maybe even all the energy from the things turning into humans all the time is even giving the school a mind of its own. Wouldn't that be something?

[AND THEN. He realizes he's just rambling. So he adjusts his glasses and looks away.]

Uh, sorry. What were we talking about? The host thing. Um, yeah, if my glasses are fine then I guess I'll do it...

[ninjaprincess]

They're not tacky.

[stay_classy_cat]

What's wrong with tacky? They're adorably so.

[ninjaprincess]

Tacky generally carries a negative connotation.

[shipscomingout]

But I think the decorations look nice.

What kind of glasses do I have to bring?

[stay_classy_cat]

I never said they look bad, did I?

Any kind should do. Rose-colored ones, maybe.

[shipscomingout]

But tacky means "distasteful or offensive." That's not really a nice thing to say.

text EVEN THOUGH WHAT IS THE POINT REALLY GOD...

[rivaltwat]

[Now with more icon.]

I might have to pass on it this time.

EHUEHU

[stay_classy_cat]

Really Marie? That's a shame. I'm sure there'd be someone there who'd miss you.

%D

[rivaltwat]

No. No one at all.

[thunderbutt]

Any fucking reason WHY THE FUCKING GLASSES THEME??

[it's because the mun asked for it, you stupid bird]

[stay_classy_cat]

Why not? You're not afraid to wear them, are you? I thought you'd look cool in just about anything...

[thunderbutt]

NO, I ain't afraid of them. Why the hell would I be afraid of 'em???

i'm sorry for all the idiots

[alltheparadoxes]

Blaze isn't unruly and violent! You must have done something to make her mad!

No never apologize.

[stay_classy_cat]

Hardly! She antagonizes me all the time. It must be a woman thing, I just don't understand.

[princeangel]

Glasses, hm?

[Well, Jeff supposed there were people out there who liked that sort of thing.]

How do you come up with these themes?

[stay_classy_cat]

Because Iyo said so.

It came to me in a dream~. I had a vision of glasses.

[will_be_god]

I had given thought to that before as well. I had attempted to find a source but was unsuccessful.

There are very powerful beings here. Likely it is a power of theirs, one as yet undefined.

Perhaps you ought to join me in a renewed investigation of these powers.


I have held the power of divinity in the palm of my hand. Such things, though rare, are known in my homeland. They are no mystery.

[stay_classy_cat]

[Ah, yes. Cyrus--the only person who'd come close enough to touch the gods. Without Uxie around, Warren feels no need for any reservations.]

Either some kind of power energy lurks here and draws them in, or vice-versa.

That power--It's like trying to hold onto water though, isn't it?

You need a Mori.

[punchicebergs]

Host... Club?

YES.

[stay_classy_cat]

Yes, that's right. You know what they are, right?

[cantenjoysandwich]

They're not tacky.

[Rude.]

[stay_classy_cat]

Everyone's acting like "tacky" is the worst thing I could of possibly said about them.

[RUDE.]

I also called them adorable, thank you very much.
