And even if you haven't been invited it's totally fine to notice something's going on and show up or  randomly come across this and stay!)
What: Genos and Squalo throw a Solstice dinner party. Italian food for everyone!
When: December 21?ish (forward-dated a bit so it doesn't fall right before irl holidays)
Where: MANTICORE penthouse
Warnings: MANTICORE Squalo, Carnies, language, minors getting drunk, substance abuse, someone might decide to bone, idk.


[ Fuck the creepy shit, MANTICORE are aggressively throwing a Solstice party! Because why not, and who has the patience to wait until New Years? ]

[ There are locations/prompts in toplevels, but feel free to start your own as well. Generic timeline of the night would be: cooking, dinner, socializing with games and booze and possibly other things, and  a movie marathon into the wee hours of the morning for the ones interested.  ]

[Like it or not, it's working. Soon enough Tamara isn't precisely sure what's come over her, but she feels confident. Ready to sing Opera, even though she hasn't sang a serious note in her life.

I can do this. I can be amazing. I can be your Tosca. Only I could ever be your Tosca. I'm perfect.

When Tosca's parts come up, she sings them. Her voice is far from Operatic, but she nails them with confidence and the amount of pleading in her voice.

The Incubus put a spell on her.]

[ He had been right. She might not be polished and trained, but her pure talent shows through. He loves it when he's right. She really was his perfect Tosca.

He slips more readily into the role, wrapping his arms about her shoulders, not enough to hinder her playing and he croons at her, filling the air with the duet until he lets her go so he can finish the song as he would. Walking away with a dramatic flourish.

When he finishes, he looks back at her and he smiles ]

Bella donna you were perfect. Now I really want to sing with you more and more. Tell me we can record a classical album together sometime.

[scalpedsociety]

[For a brief moment after the duet is done, Tamara looks surprised for a brief moment. Did I really just sing? But he's pleased by it, so clearly she must have done something right. Plus it really felt great to sing, Tamara hasn't done it in a while.]

I'd agree to an EP, and maybe a mixed style. With metal?

[Get their soprano and gravel on, get people talking.]

[variaboss]

[ He takes her hand for a moment and presses another kiss to her knuckles. ] That sounds perfect. A little bit of you and a little bit of me. We'd make magic. We can write some songs and use one of those recording booths here.

So think of a title for our EP.

[scalpedsociety]

[She really likes that. She really does, especially with the voice and everything.]

Kairos. But we can always discuss other names...

[variaboss]

Hmmm. It sounds artsy. I like it. Then we'll call it that. I know a photographer that could do a photoshoot for us for the cover art.

[ He seems actually sort of excited about that. Mostly because he wants to sing with her again. ]

[scalpedsociety]

It's a term for the perfect moment, the fleeting space of time for action.

Really? Care to email me that photographer's work?

[She's excited too. She just loves sound of his voice...]

[variaboss]

I will send it to you.

[ Along with some other more questionable photos. Xanxus is shameless like that. ]

And I'll start writing some songs. I won't tell you until it's time to record. They'll be a surprise for you.

[scalpedsociety]

[She'll be grateful for those shameless pictures Xanxus.]

Tease.

[But that gets her excited. Even more hyped to record with him.]

I'll start writing some too. And I'll be awful and not tell you mine either until we record.
