Soulfasting Concert for Charity

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Who: Lenna Charlotte Tycoon, the Kagamine twins, and open invite for all
What: A Soulfast-themed charity concert and dance
When: Sunday night
Where: The Tycoon family estate
Summary: Lenna is hosting a charity event to benefit Union's poor and homeless population, along with refugees from war-torn communities outside Union's walls and people who are moving into the city but need some help while they get on their feet.  The entire city is invited, and donations are not required but are strongly encouraged in the form of Lenna smiling and making big moe eyes at everyone as they enter until they do.

[It's the beginning of the Soulfasting holiday, and despite the complications with Cresselia and Darkrai, Lenna has miraculously managed to pull together the final preparations for her charity event at the last minute.  The party itself is being held at the Tycoon mansion in the noble quarter, and the doors have been opened for any and all who wish to come and make merry.

The spacious foyer of the house has been set up with numerous tables with food and drink for the various attendees, plenty of room for dancing and mingling, and of course a large stage at the front of the room set up for Rin and Len Kagamine - Lenna's roommates and the headline performing act of the night.  There are donation boxes situated around the room, and Lenna will also be accepting larger donations personally so that she can secure them elsewhere in the house.

And because of the time of year, there is also a table set up with plenty of Pokemon-themed masks for people to wear, with a fancy sign hand written in calligraphy: 'Courtesy of the Tatsumi Gallery.'  Lenna herself is wearing a short red party dress with matching heels, greeting everyone as they enter and more or less just buzzing about making sure everyone is having a good time.]

I see. I didn't realize that there were places like that in Union.

[He nods.]

We all become a little lost sometimes. It's good to have a place or two where we can find our way again.

[worldmother]

[That resonates with her a bit, and she smiles.]

I suppose you're right.

[underwearfortomorrow]

[There's a moment of silence before Eiji idly rubs at the back of his neck.]

I wanted to thank you, actually. For something that might have happened about a week and a half ago.

[worldmother]

[She looks a little confused.]

Thank me? For what? [She doesn't quite remember what he was getting at.]

[underwearfortomorrow]

[He shakes his head a little.]

I had a dream during all the dreamwalking chaos. I'm not sure if maybe it was all my imagination or if you were really present but- you helped me a great deal in that dream. So, thank you, Elly.

[worldmother]

I thought that might have been what that was about.

[She smiles a bit.]

We all have our demons, right? I'm just glad I could help you a little bit with yours.

[underwearfortomorrow]

Mm. I suppose you're right. [He just didn't like it when people knew his.]

[His smile is small but thankful.]

You reminded me of some words that I'd forgotten. I'll be doing my best to remember them from now on. Maybe then, it'll be harder for me to lose my way.

[Especially since those were the words he'd given to Darkrai during their "test". You may have saved his life then, Elly.]

[worldmother]

[She seems to sense this and smiles a bit.]

Don't worry, your secret is safe with me.

And if you ever do, you have friends to help bring you back to the light.

[An awkward pause.]

You know, like Fei, or your cousin. [Or her. If he thought of her as a friend.]
