[Ivan strongly considers filtering this from Gregor, but he thinks the man can have input into his own party. If his input is the 'don't throw me a party' kind then Ivan can always ignore it. He's aware that his mother would be appalled at him for starting his planning so late, but Ivan's reasonably certain that he can still gather in one place all the essential ingredients: food, attractive women, alcohol, and Gregor. Still, he suspects that Gregor might want something more and what that something would be Ivan does not know.

So he turns to his journal, bringer of wisdom -- or at least other people's perspectives.]

What makes a party fun for you?

Me, I'm easy to please, I think. But some people are really sold on having tiny iced cakes that look like Earth, as an example.

[And for some people things that look like Earth are out of the question. Gregor might be more interested in that sort of difference than Ivan is. Actually...]

And if there's anything you do where you're from that you don't see done here, you might share that as well.

[Is that a trick answer?]

How much have you had today?

voice;

[gleamed]

Um...well, I always have a glass with breakfast, and I usually drink throughout the day, so...two, three glasses?

voice;

[ivanyouidiot]

Something's very wrong with your numbers.

voice;

[gleamed]

There is? [Oh, dear.] I just thought I was being responsible.

voice;

[ivanyouidiot]

That's about the opposite of responsible.

[And he's one to talk.]

Just...stick to water.

[gleamed]

...What about juice? [She REALLY enjoys juice. Especially of the apple variety.]

voice;

[ivanyouidiot]

Without any alcohol in it, sure.

voice;

[gleamed]

And mix them together? Gross!

[At least, it sounds gross on principle.]

voice;

[ivanyouidiot]

...Do you even know what we're talking about anymore?

voice;

[gleamed]

Yes. [Well...] ...Maybe?

voice;

[ivanyouidiot]

...Look whether you have an alcohol problem or not isn't really my problem, just you might want to avoid embarrassing yourself at the party.

voice;

[gleamed]

[She huffs.] I do NOT have an alcohol problem! That's just ridiculous.

voice;

[ivanyouidiot]

It sounds like you might. Just...take care of yourself, right?

voice;

[gleamed]

I ALWAYS do.

voice;

[ivanyouidiot]

I'll believe it when I see it.

voice;

[gleamed]

I'll make sure that you do, then!

...Somehow!

voice;

[ivanyouidiot]

Maybe if I see you at the party.

voice;

[gleamed]

...Wait, you mean it? I'm invited?

voice;

[ivanyouidiot]

Everyone's invited.

voice;

[gleamed]

Well--in that case! You just might see me there.
