| >even from the outside one can smell the seasonal dishes Christmas, from honey roasted ham to bread pudding the mouthwatering aroma dances through the air beckoning all who catch its scent to pay the kitchen a visit
| >you see a white owl soar through the air before landing on the arm of a boy in a blue and white tux who you assume to be one of the hosts of this event
"Fates above,she did all this yet neglected to tell me..."
>he mutters under his breath before turning to greet you
"Oh uh hello and welcome"
>he bows

>you think you heard of that name before.... Vanderbilt...perhaps on some tech magazine or a tv show about robotics...hmmmm...
| >>517343
(Yeah,that was retconned,but we met in a bar and had a little chat before,I think what I got was "All you know is this guy is very good at getting job done",or something)

"After all, there were no damages..."
>he winks
>a girl with black and white hair and similarly colored dress comes running down the hall
"Hey is everything ok? I swear, i heard glass breaking!"
