POST-GAME IRL PARTY LOG
Who: All the living players
What: Reunion party
When: Post-game
Where: ?
Warnings: none for now
[ It has been several months since the incident. Recovering from your body being in disuse for around two months must have been hefty, as well as your other commitments as well. Hopefully, everyone has recovered to an extent, because no matter where you are, the living players will receive the following in their mailbox: an invitation to a reunion party at a location near the beach between the ex-beta testers of Fragment, a bank card, and a 4-digit pin to said card from "Oriade". The invitation card will mention the following:
Being rich has its benefits, surely. When the plane lands with their luggage and all (if you brought any. please bring some), they'll be taken to a house that doesn't seem like much, but once they walk inside, it is actually very big! There are numerous rooms inside the house. The kitchen is stocked with everything you can think of with some dude(?) preparing all the food (he's the chef. don't worry about him). There is sure to be loads of different kinds of food that can cater to everyone's tastes. Yes, there is alcohol. Get some free rich ass liquor. No, you cannot smuggle any. That dude(?) will be keeping tabs. Sometimes there's a maid or two(? or is that the same one) running around and cleaning up after everyone. If you want something, go get it yourself. Self-service only.
There's a walkway in the backyard that's also wheelchair-accessible that leads to the beach! Enjoy that too.
But for the main attraction, the server burning. ]

Hopefully, everyone has recovered to an extent, because no matter where you are, the living players will receive the following in their mailbox: an invitation to a reunion party at a location near the beach between the ex-beta testers of Fragment, a bank card, and a 4-digit pin to said card from "Oriade". The invitation card will mention the following:
- A very convenient location nearby you with access to a small, private plane. For security purposes, you'll be told to list your in-game name, real name, and class before boarding.
- The bank card contains $10,000 as some sort of "compensation" for everything that happened because of the Fragment incident. He knows it can't replace everything (like lost lives), but he hopes this will help some people (because some people live paycheck to paycheck and he understands that). Access will be revoked in a month, so you better withdraw it all while you still can. Any unused funds will be returned. The bank will not question you withdrawing all the money from that account nor exchanging it all with foreign currency. (But-- no buts)
- The servers have been located and he knows how much you guys want to destroy these, so the server bash (literally) will happen some time during the party.

His appearance won't come as any surprise to Sinclair, considering they've been video chatting more than once since they made their return to the real world. Even at the beach he's wearing long sleeves, jeans as his only concession to the sand and dust. But he settles at the table beneath an umbrella and pauses at the sight of Sinclair, whatever he'd been intending to say lost in a moment of surprise.
In French, slower and more careful than his natural delivery: ]
...Those are new.
[ He lightly taps one of the studs in his own earlobes by way of explanation, nodding towards Sinclair's. ]
no subject
I liked yours.
[Sinclair speaks a little carefully, but with Michel's gentle coaching, his accent isn't too bad. He's definitely better than he was even a month ago though]
Hat?
[He'll offer Michel a wide-brimmed one from his bag.]
no subject
He reaches over to accept it and place it on his head with great solemnity. ]
Thank you. [ And, back to English: ] ...You've been practicing. Your accent is good.
no subject
I'm glad. The way you've taught me a few things has really helped too. [Between Michel and Mersault, Sinclair does not have to worry about being messed with the way he is with Japanese]
Hopefully I wont need those texts books next year.
no subject
You won't. Sooner than that, if you have a chance to visit. The practice makes it easier. ...I have no idea how many years Japanese will take me.
no subject
[He's so glad Oria introduced him to the concept of 'nyan' long before he picked up Japanese, because otherwise...]
It does feel easier to read and write for both though.
[The shield of text!! Knowing exactly when he's gone wrong somewhere]
But you've been practicing with the others, haven't you? Hani, Tylor, Miharu...
no subject
[ Luckily Michel's canonical watashi and stiff speech aren't too far a reach from textbook Japanese... Also doubly luckily that he trusts all of those people not to have too much of an outburst of humor at his expense. ]
When they have the time. It's been... strange, adjusting to the time differences again...
[ And without work he's not quite back on his nocturnal patterns. It's a strange in-between. ]
no subject
[So, Sinclair will stick aggressively to polite Japanese. No casual talk for him. Maybe he'll even improve his keigo to make a point]
It is a little strange, isn't it? Was the jet lag bad for you?
no subject
I can see I'll need to be more careful with my sources...
[ Miharu would never, right. ]
...Mm. I'm not used to traveling yet. Was it closer for you?
no subject
Mmhm. I think in some cases, sticking to the text book works best.
[He feels Dead when he thinks about it]
Yeah. It was only a few hours for me. But I'm getting used to traveling around again.
no subject
...Are you usually traveling for work? I suppose at least they gave you your recovery time...
no subject
Mostly around the states. But I've had a few trips take me further down south.
[He sips at his soda]
Mostly, I've been told to keep my head down while recovering. Finish my language studies and work on getting my strength back.
no subject
[ Although, honestly, his impression of Sinclair's work from Saude hadn't been altogether bad. He leans a little against the table, propping his chin in his hand as he studies Sinclair. ]
...Good. You're recovering well?
[ There's a questioning note at the end. But Sinclair looks good, he thinks. Mostly healthy. ]
no subject
Mm. The physio time they organised for me have been reasonable, but tough. I'm probably further along than other people.
no subject
That's good. You're too stubborn to be held back for long. You and Oria, I suppose.
[ Michel is looking... not so much worse than he had in the game, actually. The coma had taken a toll on him, certainly. But it's also the first time in his adult life he's been making effort to put on weight and rebuild muscle. ]
no subject
[ When his muscles began to scream with pain, when he felt shaky every time a new number appeared on his phone that he didn't recognise...]
no subject
But, you didn't. Although... I'm glad you can rest for a bit now.
[ It would be nice if they could manage the same for Oria. ]
no subject
[ He bets Oria had something to do with that. Speaking of...hm, Oria definitely needed to take a break though...]
no subject
[ With Oria, is the subtext. Although he imagines Oria will be rushing back to all the things he does, too. ]
no subject
Um. As long as everyone else. Since they're all so busy...
[ In other words, he'd like more time with Oria but he's not imposing on his busy schedule; it's a fact of each of their lives things will be relentless. He's glad to have this much]
no subject
[ Well, he didn't expect that even Sinclair could separate Oria from his work for long. But he still gives him another hair ruffle for that. ]
no subject
A little. But I'm sure we can work out some time later.
no subject
You will. I suppose... if you don't have leave again for a while, I might come visit you, instead.
[ Not that he's a replacement for Oria. And not that Sinclair lacks for company, but, still. ]
no subject
Really? I'd really like that. My space is a bit small, if that doesn't bother you...
no subject
[ Michel casts a wry glance around at Oria's elaborate private beach. Not that he can say he minds the privacy in the least. ]
And it's probably less dusty than mine...
