 [Unlike the first video of awkward introductions, Sebastian appears more confident as the video begins. It's a bit of an odd angle until he gets into position holding the camera up in front of himself.]

"Hello. I'm Sebastian. Um...I was thinking about how weird time feels here for me and about when it was I left New York. It was after the Holidays and it was snowing. I don't know how long I've been here. I sort of lost track-um. I'm sorry. I ramble when I'm nervous. My point is I had an idea."

[Shifting so everyone can see behind him one of the atriums.]

"I don't want to call it a Holiday like Thanksgiving, but I was thinking this area would be nice for a dinner. Something we could all share. Especially after...well, after everything that has happened recently. I realized we're all here and...we're not alone in this...so maybe..."

[He bit his bottom lip and looked around at the atrium suddenly not as confident in his idea.]

"I know it's a silly idea, but maybe what we need right now is silly."

[In person? In person seemed so much more difficult than a video.]

"Perhaps we could make invitations and leave them on everyone's door. I could talk to the Cat about how to arrange for food and space. I'd like to have music, but I don't think we have anything available."

[In person wasn't too bad. You just had to walk up to them, say hello and hope it went from there!]

"Ooh! Yess! That's a fun idea. And very inviting, actually. And considering most all of us live in the dorm area anyhow, it means you wont have to hunt down too many people. Just write up a lovely invite or flyer and slip one under each door. Seems reasonable. You can even leave a note directing them to look at this video post, if that would help. Either way, great idea."

"As for music, maybe ask around if anyone plays anything? It would be pretty fantastic if we could encourage people to come share their talents too. Like a real 'getting to know you' kind of thing. Can't hurt. Me? I'm rubbish with music, so i'm out, but it'd be fun, right?"

[In person was not something he did well. But he was trying to be better.]

"I can try to find some nice paper, but I didn't come here with an instrument. Do you think someone else might have brought theirs? Or perhaps the Librarians know where we can find instruments."

[If he could go through a portal and go on a shopping trip somewhere he could bring back the things they needed.]

[braveheart_clara]

[talking to Clara was a good start.]

"There has to be some reasonable paper around here. And even if it's not nice we can make it nice. If it's too white we can age it a bit, tatter and burn it even. Roll it up with string and make it look cute. or find some wax to seal them with. Something different."

"Oh, maybe. And if not, maybe we can find something in a Market Place. I'll be willing to look as well. Wait, do you play?"

[dulcet_cellist]

"You're very creative, Clara."

[Sebastian really liked that idea. Invitations that were personalized a bit or creatively done were always nice. His mother always added a personal touch to hers even if she did have them printed professionally.

The question made him blush a bit.]

"I do. I'm a...I'm a cellist."

[braveheart_clara]

"Oh, sometimes!" [She said, not modest at all, grinning actually.] "I can help, if you like. We wouldn't even need to put names on them, so that will be easier, but they'd look thoughtful, right?"

[Aww, he's so bashful. cute.]

"Ooo! A cellist! Now that is brilliant. Maybe you can ask the librarian if there is a music section around. Of if they can let you barrow one for a bit?"

"Can't hurt to ask, right?"

[dulcet_cellist]

[Clara was bright and seemed to have an energy about her that made Sebastian want to smile and be light energy, too. If that made any sense. He wasn't sure it did. But he liked her and that was what was important.]

"Thoughtful is good. Do you think the Librarians will mind a dinner party? I should find the Cat and ask. I don't think there is a music room here."

[He'd been all over and hadn't seen one. Maybe it was hiding. Like a secret room. That didn't make much sense he thought frowning a bit at the thought.]
