[Ah yes, the eternal struggle with pluralization, Hermann listened with faint amusement. Did he want to go? Still vivid memories of August cautioned him against it. He frowned down at the floor and wrestled with the uncertainty warring in his chest.
Hermann raised his head and nodded firmly]
We're taking the necessary precautions, it's not a swear-in, and may be perhaps the best avenue to determine risk factors for public events in general.
[The elevator dinged and Hermann stepped through the open doors, jabbing his cane for the lobby]
Much as I'm not inclined toward social settings, I do enjoy the occasional outing.
Yeah, okay, Socializing Experiment, Take Two. [He followed Hermann into the elevator and paced around the small space. The occasional outing. Like breakfast with your Best Friend? He hoped Hermann meant like breakfast with the Best Friend, because yeah, this was going to be a good outing.]
Exactly.
And if we don't like the party? We'll duck out early, get take-out, go make our own better party somewhere with loads of Halloween candy like those dumb gummy eyeballs and some fun-size multi-packs of the good stuff--Twix and Snickers and Butterfinger, none of that cheap Palmer chocolate--live it up, watch creepy movies with the lights off, scare trick-or-treaters, snuff pixi-stix with rolled up bills like it's blow... It'll be awesome!
Okay, it got a little absurd near the end there--definitely not actually snuffing pixi-stix because that HURTS and it 100% not a good idea for the nasal mucous membrane, but yeah, not afraid to go make our own party, right? We can be our own two man social outing if push comes to shove and the masquerade is dull, or, I mean, we can invite Mako and Qubit and Hiro and stuff. That's fine too.
I haven't been to a party in forever, though. I'm psyched.
