4th Invitation [Video]

[reigningmen]

Oh my... [The Prince is quite wet, folks, with an air of sullen pride. And then the curse kicks in.]

I never expected to see this place again, that much is certain. I've been so preoccupied with... I wish I could say the Host Club, but...

Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm not sure what came over me! Lady Eclair isn't around by chance, is she? I know she'd be hard to spot among so many other lovely ladies here in Vatheon.

[tsundyne]

...T-Tamaki-kun! You're back!

[Wow, Haruhi was really worried about you. Jerk. :| She eyes him suspiciously though, and blinks.]

Who's Lady Eclair?

[Is she edible—]

[reigningmen]

Ah, one of the lovely ladies - I'm glad you're well, Yukari-chan.

Lady Eclair is, well... my fiancée.

[It's so weird to say that.]

[tsundyne]

Fiancée—!

[Wh-What?!

She's not really sure whether to be surprised or not, actually. Tamaki always did have that ~charm~ about him to attract the ladies, but. Seriously?]

You never mentioned that before...

[reigningmen]

Ah~~~! Please don't be mad! It's a recent occurrence!

[tsundyne]

H-Hey, I'm not mad...just a bit surprised is all.

[:| Plus, it is weird to think about.]

Either way, it might help if I knew what she looked like.

[reigningmen]

I just remembered how to check the list of residents, and I see she's not here, so...

It's not something Yukari-chan has to worry about on my account.

[And a few other people he looked for.]

[tsundyne]

Oh, I see...

[That's right. She hadn't thought to check that, but she's glad he did then. It must save time.]

That's too bad. But...welcome back to Vatheon, I guess.

[She's not exactly sure if he even wants to be here, but it couldn't hurt to say it.]

[reigningmen]

Thank you! I'm not sure why I'm back, but if it means spending more time with you, then I embrace the chance willingly.

[tsundyne]

[:V Just remember you have a fiancee waiting for you, Tamaki.]

Right...

[Yukari is otherwise not sure what to think about that statement, but she figures she should kind of catch him up on what he's missed, if she can.

Of course, she isn't exactly sure how long he's been gone.]

Well, you just missed New Years', unfortunately. But I'm sure you'll find a way to make up for it.

[reigningmen]

[Not that he likes her that much :T]

Ah... make up for it? [blink blink]

[He is both excited and confused.]

[tsundyne]

...Well, y'know.

[Yukari scratches her head, as if waiting for him to magically get it or something. But eventually, she continues.]

I thought that'd be something you wanna celebrate. It's got Host Club written all over it.

[reigningmen]

Ah, Yukari-chan...

The truth is that I... disbanded the Host Club. Back home. It was for their own good.

[tsundyne]

...H-Huh? Disbanded?

[...]

But why? [And what does he mean by that? Did he really have the authority to decide what's best for them?

...It doesn't seem like something Haruhi would stand for.]

[reigningmen]

Everyone was so inconvenienced by the Host Club that it was selfish of me to maintain it for my own enjoyment. I was better off at my mother's side, as Lady Éclair's betrothed.

[Stupid curse :( ]

[tsundyne]

...But I thought the point of the Host Club was to make things easier for people. To entertain them. What happened?

[Headtilt. She isn't sure which words are influence under the Curse and which aren't, but she isn't exactly thinking about that at the moment.]

[ironoxided]

...

.......

[This girl isn't sure what to think of you, man.]

Isn't an eclair a dish?

[reigningmen]

Well, yes, a classic French pastry.

[ironoxided]

...

That's a stupid name. To be named after a pastry, I mean.

[SABITSUKI BE NICE that's not a very nice thing to say.]

[reigningmen]

[Game face, game face...]

Ahem. The Lady Éclair Tonnerre is the daughter of a very prestigious business mogul. She deserves respect.

[nightmerica]

Wait. You've been here before?

[reigningmen]

Why yes, madam. Why do you ask?

[nightmerica]

[Huh!]

I thought people were supposed to - well, forget this place. When they went home.

[reigningmen]

If I've caused you any sort of inconvenience, I do apologize...

[nightmerica]

What? No! Nah, that's not the case at all. Just kind of interesting to find out even more about this place.

[reigningmen]

... Oh! Well, in that case I should introduce myself. [He bows his head to the camera, then back up.] Bonjour, my name is Tamaki Suou. And you are?

[nightmerica]

[French! That was either pretentious or pretty cool. She's going to settle on 'pretty cool' for now.]

My name's Sam. Welcome back, I guess. Doubt the place has changed much.

[reigningmen]

Only in the most important of ways: the people. Ah but that's too sour a thought for a sweet lady's company- Have you been here long, fair Sam?

[nightmerica]

[Sam snorts in surprised amusement as Tamaki's verbiage, before shaking her head.]

Since September. Not really a drop in the bucket, but not as long as a lot of people stuck here.

[reigningmen]

[He's actually paying rapt attention, nodding at her words.]

Absolutely, although I regret that our paths have not crossed until now. I hope you've found a kind soul or two in all that time?

[nightmerica]

[Why, Tamaki, how frighteningly attentive you are.]

I've got a pal from home here, too.

[reigningmen]

C'est épatant ! I'm very happy for you, milady - new adventures are best enjoyed with friends.

[nightmerica]

You know - I think this place might be more adventure than I bargained for.

Oh, jeez, sorry. What was your name again?

[reigningmen]

Tamaki is fine.

[nightmerica]

Tamaki, then.

[Haha wait.]

That's Japanese, isn't it?

[reigningmen]

Yes it is - my father is Japanese.

[beautifies]

Hmph. You again.

[HE JUST REMEMBERS THAT YOU SPARKLE.]

[reigningmen]

Nnnn. What's wrong with you?

video; forgive my lateness ;;

[spiria]

Tamaki ...?

video; not a problem <3

[reigningmen]

[He blinks, a bit surprised, then smiles.]

Ah...! Kohaku-chan, wasn't it? You're looking as radiant as ever!
