Each and every candidate has their own methods-but Rozalin has elected to take the high road. Or perhaps you might call it the High society road-since the only people with invitations to tonight's fancy party (plus guest) are members of the nobility and demonic Overlords. +1 guest each of course, it's only fair to allow escorts. Everyone else? Well, nobility can be purchased at the door-For the low, low price of two million Hel per place.

Once ushered through the doors, one might find that she's finally shaken off that Christmas-decor from her room and moved on to something more...well, it's just genericly rich. There are Prinnies running around in uniform with serving trays of wine, liquor and sake.

And when everyone has arrived and been counted, the doors will open and all will be ushered in for 11 tiny courses of gourmet food. Meat features heavily, and it's all the grand old dishes that bespeak wealth and power.

Even later, perhaps you might be invited for a private conversation and a game of cards, or chess, or some other light entertainment, if there is the promise of real power to be gained by such a thing. Or maybe just negotiating who gets how much of the vote-even if you loose the election after all, there is power in being a mover and a shaker.

Training for 'Yuki' has gone from bad to worse-her skills have leveled off and stopped improving well short of where they logically should be able to go. Tonight, lungs burning and already tired from the party, there is going to be a breakthrough-but not a good one.

I suppose you could say that Tewi is their leader of sorts.

Ohh? Which would make her your... well, I'm rather at a loss for what term to use but 'pet' here. In any case, that would make her quite the exceptional rabbit, to bargain with you.

Oh, she's not my pet at all, actually. The term "ally" would be more fitting.

My. That's a first, I've hear of many of your pets but not a single ally.

Oh, the rest of the rabbits, besides Reisen, are 'allies' rather than pets.

My, that is interesting. But why did they come with you rather than their leader then? I suppose the prinnies must have made a mistake.

You'd have to ask the administration.

Hah. Like that lot would give me the time of day-only Senator Sparklesucker showed up and he had to lead early. It seems that he injured his wrist and required medical attention.

[In other words, he tried to cop a feel and she broke his wrist.]

Oh my. [She'd offer condolences for Sparklesucker but... it was Sparklesucker. She had been a tad annoyed at his advances during her previous dark assembly.] What a fragile Senator.

Yes, it seems he won't be rejoining us and will instead be retiring for the night. What a pitty.

By the way, this quite the lovely party. I used to have them in my household every so often but, sadly ,the one who took care of organizing isn't here.

Oh, yes, I think I have done quite well under the limitations. My own normal staff are all absent as well, not that I ever had many after...well, after my father and I came to blows.

Perhaps sometime in the future, we could join forces and hold a party at my mansion?

Hmmm. To joined forces then. Tell me, are you familiar with Champagne?

I have seen a small selection of Champagne bottles at the Rosenqueen store, so all I would know is that it is a sort of drink.

You are in for a treat then-here.

[Rozalin beckons to a pair of prinnies with an ice bucket and a bottle with the cork still wired down, which they are carrying with great fear.]

The prinnies seem rather wary of it!

This stuff's under pressure dood! If we take the cage off the cork, it might fly off and hit us and cause an explosion!

Not like it takes much to set us off though dood!

Oh don't be such babies about it, look, it's been chilled so it won't be that much of a danger. You just have to remove the wires and then be careful where you point the cork. We don't want to loose control.

Oh my, Champagne must be rather volatile.

Well. If you shake the bottle, it might cause the cork to pop off violently, hit someone in the eye, and blind them for life. No, we just want to ease it out, carefully and ...

Wait, what are you two doing with those knives?

We don't have thumbs to grab the wire with dood! This is the only way! We're gonna hit it with a knife and break open the neck! Ready!

*POP!*

*BANG! CRUNCH! ZAPOW!*

Oh man, Jimmy! He was too young to die like that man. Uhh... here's the bottle dood. It came off clean, and the pressure kept any glass from getting in the bottle! Neat party trick, huh? I'll just pour this for you.

But wasn't he already dead?

Just because they are dead doesn't mean that they can't feel pain or loose their corporeal forms. Fortunately, most prinnies are pretty cheaply put together.

*ting*

Ahh. Here we are. That was quite the affair, but we at least have the wine. And it seems none the worse for wear.

Indeed, thank you. [sipsip]
