[ When the camera comes on, anyone who knows Lyle will see a familiar face smiling back at them. Well, familiar except the eyepatch (and maybe he looks a little younger? It could just be the lighting). ]

Hi. I bet I got some of you thinking “what happened to Lyle” for a second there. Surprise, I’m his big brother. I don’t now how it’s done here, but by my estimate today is Lyle’s birthday! Consider this an invitation to celebrate with us. You don’t even have to be his friend. Come over and make a friend. No gifts required. Food will be provided.

[ Yes, he's making a finger gun at the camera before leaning in to cut the feed. What a nerd. ]

[ He's going to pretend (very badly) to be shocked by this. ]

You don't say!

[alchemyfreak]

Nice try.

[Just... all of this. Not even that fake shock.]

You left out a time and place for this celebration. Directions might also help.

[lockonstratos]

Mmm, good point. I guess I figured his friends know where he lives.

[alchemyfreak]

In this place, people move too frequently to keep up.

Besides, who said the party was going to be there?

[Lockon hadn't specified, but at this point Ed may be acting intentionally difficult.]

[lockonstratos]

I wouldn't really call it a party. More like... a causal gathering of friends.

[ No worries, Ed. Lockon's accustom to difficult people. ]

[alchemyfreak]

[Okay, fine. He'll play your game, Lockon.]

Who said the "casual gathering" was going to be there?

[lockonstratos]

Well, without a place being specified, seems like the logical choice would be where he lives, don't you think?

[alchemyfreak]

Maybe, but without a set time now you're just inviting people to show up where he lives whenever.

[Sounds risky. Or at the very least not well planned. Ed's squinting at all of this.]

[lockonstratos]

That a bad thing?

[alchemyfreak]

I guess not if everyone's prepared.

[Is everyone prepared? Does the whole floor know? Did Lyle even know before this broadcast? So much doubting right now.]

[lockonstratos]

[ How much effort can it possibly take to talk to the handful of people that share their floor? Who's gonna turn down some free food?? ]

Prepared for what? It's a social gathering, not a strategic military strike.

[alchemyfreak]

Not everyone appreciates a bunch of new people showing up, without much warning.

[He'd know, he's dealt with it enough times.]

You don't have any room mates that aren't exactly the social type?

[lockonstratos]

I'll give them my most sincere apologies if anyone who lives there complains about it.

[alchemyfreak]

That's really all you can do, I guess. Hopefully no one will complain.

Anyway, I'll stop by for a bit. Let me know if you need anything, I can whip something up or stop at the store on the way.

[lockonstratos]

Thanks! I think I've got everything covered, so the only thing you need to bring is an appetite.

[alchemyfreak]

You should be careful making offers like that, you might be in trouble.

[He can be a bottomless pit when he wants to be.]
