We're gonna party like it's the end of the world! [Semi-closed]

[excellentviolet]

Who: All of Platinum Phoenix Enterprise (formerly known as Violet Systems) and their choice of guests.
When: December 21, 2012
Where: Platinum Phoenix's humble building in Sector 8, not far from Grant Stadium.
Summary: Lee throws a little thanksgiving party to his staff, allowing them to bring a guest of their choice. Things happen!
Warnings: Drunkenness? Intrigue? Shenanigans? People standing in corners??

((ooc: I've posted this tagged all the current employees I can remember for now. If you feel like I've missed you or if your character is no longer part of the company, just let me know :3 ))

While Violet Systems used to have its company parties in its posh SERO-owned building in Sector 2, the new home for the new company is but a simple office structure on the outskirts of the industrial sector, only two floors high and with a rather old-fashioned look to its fascade.

That doesn't stop Lee Chaolan from throwing a good party, though. It pretty much goes to show how much he won't pass up on throwing a celebration. And besides that, this serves as a kind of holiday party for his team. There's no gift-giving, but there's beer from a neutral microbrewery and champagne from a local neutral vineyard. True to his word, the CEO had gone all-out in his support for newcomer-owned and true neutral businesses. Who said that corporate responsibility ended when work was over?

With all the little details aside, Lee hoped his employees could have a good time and take the opportunity to mingle. This is especially true for his newest additions to the company: Claudio, Jade, and Aoko.

He raises his glass of champagne to the party gathered before him:

"A toast to Platinum Phoenix Enterprises and whatever lies before us!"

And with that, the party begins.

[It wouldn't seem odd if the two of them were dating. But since it didn't seem like they were...

Honestly, Tim had guessed about this for awhile now. You weren't called the world's greatest detective for being dumb and blind. But schools. Right. He hadn't thought about it, lately, but he needed to keep it up for appearances. And that meant getting tutors.]

My friend, Christina, is planning on going to school... I think she's going to SPU? I'm at SPU, and I would... really like a tutor. [A sigh, a smile, more of a sheepish one.] You don't have to give me a discount. How are you at English? Writing skills, those are not my strong points.

[typhlopid]

I can definitely help with things such as style, vocabulary and sentence structure, but unfortunately, for the entire package, you may wish to seek out another tutor, one slightly better suited for the going over your work with a red pen. [Snake trusts he does not need to go over why that is explicitly, but just to drop a hint, he says crisply:] If perhaps you would like to learn to read braille, I tutor in that as well.

[The hint was definitely not needed, but it made Tim smile.]

I could always used help with a speech or two. [And the smile got wider.] I'd love to learn to read braille, though. But isn't it that the tutor needs to find the right pupil, instead of the pupil finding the right tutor?

[typhlopid]

Are you perhaps a student of philosophy as well, Tim? [Snake chuckles quietly.] Here in Siren's Port I've taught one of the worst pupils I ever had the misfortune of coming across. If I can teach him, I believe I can produce from the most stubborn of students.

[theshortestbird]

Unfortunately, no. I like getting my hands dirty too much to go into something as lofty as philosophy. [He laughed.]

That sounds almost like a dare. Or a bet waiting to happen. I don't know if I would be a stubborn student, but I like to take a man's word on how good he is.
