Masquerade Christmas Party!
[Likely to the surprise of most people, the lounge in the Campus has been re-purposed today. Anyone trying to come by has gotten blocked by some strange little girl (or boy), who wouldn't let them in no matter what. Now, near the end of the day, the doors are no longer guarded, and it's easy to see why just looking in.
With Jack and Mahad's help, Henry's decorated the lounge in a very masquerade-party-esque design, with masks hung at the door for anyone who didn't (or couldn't) bring their own, a lot of refreshments of all kinds (both modern and from his time in England), and some music he's managed to rig up through some things he found in the Campus. There's a Christmas tree sort of awkwardly pushed in the corner, with the main area of the room empty of everything for chatting or dancing while a few more comfortable chairs line the wall with the usual tables.
Henry himself might be hard to spot, because for once, that hair of his doesn't give him away. Thanks to Jack's help, it's been tied back and dyed completely black, with a mask and a simple silk outfit further hiding him; after all, it's very rare he's out of his armor, and his deck is safely hidden inside of his clothing.
At the moment, he's simply hovering near the edge of the room, watching everyone quietly and musingly.]

Smiling at Henry, he relaxes fully at last, calm now.]
I'll explain properly later, Shoutei. It's a long story and it's not really fit for a party. Why don't you come over later, or tomorrow? I'll cook you dinner and explain everything there.
[That way, he can work everything out and explain it without fear of being listened in on by the other people here.]
In the meantime, please just try to enjoy the party. It's a really cool experience.
no subject
But as far as having fun goes...]
I'll try, Aniki. [He brings his glass up to take a sip, but knocks it into his mask instead and spills some on himself.] Ahh! Oh no!
no subject
It's a little difficult to eat or drink until you get used to the mask. I'll go get you a towel.
[He doesn't leave right away, however, lowering his voice quietly and still speaking gently.]
And I know about the Ring and its... inhabitant. There's nothing to fear from me regarding that.
no subject
He speaks back quietly as well.]
Thank you, Henry-san, but if you know that much, then you'll know it's not you I'm afraid of.
no subject
So please... at least try to relax and enjoy yourself. And tell me if I can help.
no subject
...Um, okay.
[He glances sidelong at Aniki.]
no subject
The easiest way to explain it, Shoutei, is that father is basically a 'Diabolist'.
[The Monster World class that specialized in dealing with devils. It was the closest thing he could offer as an explanation.]
no subject
[Oh god what kind of people is he dealing with here?! First spirit-possessed Ancient Egyptian artifacts, then Lisa explodes in the bathroom or something, then his roommate turns out to be a robot, and now real-life Diabolists--what next?!]
no subject
Now, now... You'll get used to it.
no subject
[As if on cue, Lyna appears in spirit form, giggling and waving at the other Ryou as her fairy chitters happily.]
But I'll return momentarily.
[Brb, grabbing towel.]
no subject
...But then, seeing that little spirit girl? He just screams.]
G-g-ghooost!

[This was really too much to take in! Ryou gives the girl another look, wincing a little.]
...Um, hi? [He smiles nervously (not that they can see it), awkwardly waving a hand.]
no subject
[Even without seeing the look on his face, he can see the signs that the other teen is overwhelmed.]
Sorry, Shoutei. It's been a bit of a roller-coaster for you today, hasn't it?
no subject
It would have been nice to learn one thing at a time instead of all at once--I mean--not that I'm complaining! It's just...
[SIGH]
no subject
no subject
...Probably not.]
no subject
He's feeling a little overwhelmed... All of this magic stuff is really surprising him.
[Before leaving them to their own devices.]
no subject
Forgive me. I suppose it is very overwhelming, isn't it?
no subject
And...a little. This whole place is, really.
no subject
no subject
[He'd been forced to accept that pretty swiftly, considering the other him.]
I don't mind learning new things, or meeting new people, so I guess it could be worse. [Still, this hardly counts as learning.]
