Video: Locked to her CR, from close friends to people she's talked to at least once

[ It had been a while since Ayame really connected and reached out to her friends here in Genessia. Apart from saying hello here and there, attending parties to sneak a free drink, or dropping by their places of work for brief amounts of time, she has yet to really spare hours or even a day for them. Feeling her guilt stack up from all those months of absence, Ayame decided to take a night off and invite people to her home. ]

Hello, everyone. Good morning. It has been some time since I spared a moment with you all, and I would like to change that today. I do apologize for being so inadequate in keeping in touch; my businesses have been taking most of my waking hours. Needless to say, I wish to invite you all for dinner at my house should you be available. Tonight at precisely 6pm.

[ Ayame has enough time this morning to gather up supplies and just magic her way through in making a feast. Even if some people wouldn't be available to attend from how sudden this invite is, there's her girlfriend Yuyuko to eat all of it. Speaking of Yuyuko, who had been living with her for some time now, might have heard the mention of dinner. So from off the corner of the screen, a wild ghost woman appears! As usual, Yuyuko appears to be her cheery self. ]

Did I hear something about dinner?~

[ She hums, because of course she's summoned by the mere mention of food. She wraps her arms around Ayame from behind before realizing she's making a video to the network. There's a pause, but she gets this brief little mischievous glint in her eye as she leans in to kiss Ayame's cheek. She then proceeds to float away with a soft giggle. ]

Oh, sorry to interrupt!~ I'll leave you to it.

[ Ayame feels heat creep up the skin of her face from the surprise of Yuyuko sneaking a kiss on her cheek. For her friends and acquaintances to see, too! ]

Yuyuko...!

[ Slackjawed and stammering for her words, Ayame's train of thought has stopped dead on it's tracks. She touches her cheek and still feels Yuyuko's kiss on it while she regains her composure, glancing to her side from time to time in case Yuyuko decides to sneak another one. ]

A-anyhow... Apologies, but that is my girlfriend Yuyuko just now... [ Sigh ] Well, where was I...? Oh, correct. Please don't be shy in inviting a friend of your own. I can gather enough ingredients to feed an entire guild. But I'm most excited to cook my own spaghetti recipe for all of you to try. It's quite unique as you would see. So... yes. I'll hopefully see you all then?

[ OOC: Pink text is Yuyuko, and replies can come from either of them ]

Oh Ayame-han! Long time, no see!

I just got deputy status in Fayren and I have to keep my ear to the ground for a situation over there, but I'd love to come by!

[ Oh, who's that woman who just showed up...? Konoka's eyes alight with mischief. ]

Is that a girlfriend I see?

[ Seeing Konoka's reaction only got Ayame to sigh and nod, glancing to the side at Yuyuko before turning her attention towards the camera ]

Yes, that she is. Yuyuko is a lovely woman. I believe you would like her a lot.

[ Ayame is quick to regain her calm to muster a quick smile, turning the topic to Konoka's news. Ayame leans back on her couch, crossing one leg over the other while making a glass of white wine appear in her hand like magic. ]

Though congratulations on your induction to the Guardianship, Fayren is indeed in a predicament these past few days. I haven't returned there to open my shop since it started. Which helped in making my work load lighter, so I have no complaints.

Hahaha, be glad you didn't. Moving my shop there was a hassle thanks to that. Though once we solve this ice conundrum it'll be much easier and more convenient for us.

[ Konoka's smile gets that impish edge. ]

Speaking of 'us', my partner's here! We're girlfriends now!

Here's to a swift resolution, then.

[ Ayame raises her glass before taking a big gulp, drinking the entire contents of the glass empty in one go, only to have it magically refill itself. Ayame raises a brow at the mention of Konoka's partner, even humming in thought but it was low enough not to be heard. Ayame peers into the camera slightly, as if she's looking through a very small window for any sign of this partner ]

Someone from your homeworld, I assume? That's good to know my friends are finding people to call their lovers, truly. It warms my heart.

[ Ayame could remember the time Konoka was upset at the disappearance of Mariko, and how Sonico must be upset right now that Mobius went away. It gets her to think what would happen if Yuyuko leaves without warning, or herself... ]

It is! I'm glad you found someone too!

Hey Secchan~!

Ah, Ms. Sasaki.

[There's no outward sign of Marc noticing the PDA, save for a quiet smile that could mean anything.]

I'll be there. It's been awhile since the last time and I'd love to catch up.

Indeed it has.

[ Ayame replies with a quiet smile of her own, reclining her back against the couch and making a glass of wine appear in her hands like magic ]

And please, call me Ayame. I look forward to seeing you again in person, Marc. Hopefully you wouldn't be so opposed to tonight's menu of guilty pleasure meals.

[ Ever since Yuyuko moved in, Ayame has been eating more dishes that are not necessarily the healthiest, but only during dinner time. She doesn't have the need to eat anymore, but it's still nice to stick to a clean diet. If not for her body, at least the discipline of it is good for her mind ]

[There's pleasant surprise when she insists on her first name. He can't help it; she seems to command respect at all times. But if she's happy with that, he's just as glad to roll with it.]

Wouldn't have it any other way. I'm all about the guilty pleasures when among friends.

[Yes: they are friends. He's certainly more relaxed and a bit less formal than when they'd last met. No matter which 'last time' one goes with.]

I'm pleased to hear that. For a moment there, I thought you're every bit as serious as I was.

[ She adds some good-natured humor to her words, showing that she too considers the both of them to be friends. ]

I hope you enjoyed the gifts I got you for the holidays. Yours is quite appreciated.

[His eyes seem to glaze over for a split second, and he taps the side of his stomach ever so lightly.]

The cakes were amazing, thank you. And the painting? Well, I'll tell you about that in person.

[He lifts an eyebrow in playful indignation. It seems to say, "No, I didn't eat that one too. Why would you think that?!"]

Tonight at 6 then. Would you like me to bring anything? Sauces for the pasta, drinks maybe?

[ Ayame lets Marc have the last word in their little playful ribbing of each other, not really the kind to keep something like that up for very long. She's glad that he enjoyed the moon cakes, as she herself likes those treats with the memories of childhood it brings her, and the fact that making moon cakes is among her best culinary skills ]

Just you and your appetite. I'll handle the food and refreshments.

[ Ayame takes a sip ]

You can bring a friend or two, though.

I know just the guy. And he's a friend of yours too.

[He lets his camera pan to the side, showing the interior of Sand Gym and Mayu Nozaki's judo class getting ready to start.]

See you soon, Ayame. Looking forward to it.

Ohhh, girlfriend, huh Ayame? And you never told me? I'm wounded!

[He can't help himself when it comes to teasing. Sorry, Ayame.]

But! I can't say no to that offer. You want me to bring anything for ya?

[He'll probably bring her a gift ~~of booze~~ anyway but he figured he'd ask.]

[ Ayame shows a faint reaction of amusement at Gale's humor, still reeling in from Yuyuko's unexpected show of affection to fully be reactive ]

Just yourself and your appetite, but you can bring a friend along if you'd please. Didn't you have someone living with you?

[ Gale might have made mention of having two people living with him in Nova City, along with Faye. But Ayame doesn't know their names ]
