Hello again, everyone! I have a few exciting announcements to make, so I'll try to keep this short.

First of all, I'd like to let everyone know that our little Alice has moved in with me and my friends. It's been a bit of an adjustment for her, but now that she's had time to settle in, I thought it would be wonderful if we threw her a housewarming party here at the house this upcoming Tuesday. [manor.] Of course all of her friends are free to stop by to visit whenever they'd like!

Secondly, I've decided to help at Lady Serenity's Rose Academy and fill in as their new drama teacher~~! Aaah, this will be so exciting and fun, I can't wait! I already have so many ideas for future plays~~ Of course I'd be willing to take in anyone not already part of the school as well, so please join the class! I can assure you we will have so much~! [are those sparkles just a trick of a light or some special effect? who knows. who knows.]

And finally, in case you missed Lady Serenity's announcement about the school festival on the 28th, the Host Club will be joining in and also have a Test of Courage event afterward. It will be held at the school and those who wish to participate will be in groups of two or three. We'll have a specially designed course that you have to go through and those who complete will receive a special reward~ [be afraid.] However we still could use a few volunteers for the set up and to help scare those who will be going through the course, so you are more than welcome to help out. And if you are interested in joining the club, we are taking in new members.

That's all, thanks everyone!

[ooc: TL;DR - Throwing Alice a housewarming party, he's the new drama teacher, Host Club has the Test of Courage, and who wants to be a host? sorry there's so much, basically trying to catch up for lost time sob.]

If I could have everyone's attention!

I am Tamaki Suoh, owner of Café des Rêves and president of the Host Club. As you may have known, Somarium is throwing the Autumn Festival again this year, and the Host Club will be participating by hosting the grand finale for the event. On Sunday, August 28, instead of fireworks, everyone will be given a chance to send a floating paper lantern up into the sky!

They will look something like this—[steps back to reveal a table with said lanterns.]—with other styles available, of course, and will be constructed with specially designed paper. The candles will also be special so that no fires will be created and will burn out harmlessly. As for how they will float, we'll also have a bit a magic helping us as well. [wink~] Everyone will have a chance of constructing their own, but we will have plenty of pre-made ones available.

This event will be held in tribute to the lovely Miss Rapunzel, the inspiration for this. It is my heartful desire that she be able to see the floating lights that she has always dreamed about. [and is that a sparkle in his eyes?] But that leads to a little personal touch that I am adding to this event.

Not only will you be able to let the lantern fly, but also your hopes and dreams with it. Everyone who participates will be given a small piece of paper where you can write down one wish, hope, or dream and it will be attached to the bottom of the lantern like so. [and once again demonstrating.]

It's a little like the Japanese Tanabata festival, where you also write wishes. The only difference is it's normally tied to bamboo. It's normally held in the summer, but we just miss the date this month. So what better way than to combine these two lovely traditions and to do it in a world of dreams?

[and there's his usual charming smile.]

I hope everyone will be able to participate! And we will welcome any volunteers.

I hope this is to your satisfaction, Miss Rapunzel~

[why yes, this would be your resident Host Club King giving everyone a dashing and charming smile~ Those sparkles and rose petals? ...don't ask.]

Welcome everyone who has just joined Somarium~! I am Suoh Tamaki, and with the help of the lovely Miss Ryuga Rena, we will be hosting one of the largest and finest festivals this world has yet to experience~!
