[011] [video/action] paid vacation

[complexing]

[Video]

[The video starts up and Touya is sitting in a brocade-upholstered high-backed chair in blue, dressed in a completely new set of clothes. He's even smiling, which is rare for him--benevolent and regal.]

People of Luceti. I have delightful and exciting news. Yesterday, the fair Yue agreed to become my husband, and we will be married next Sunday. I am taking this opportunity to invite you, my fair subjects, to the event. My future queen and I would be very glad to see you all.

[Action]

[And as if that invitation wasn't enough, Touya is now riding around town on a black horse, cape draped over the back of the horse and his head held high. As though he were a king. He's taking this opportunity to invite people personally--not to mention survey his kingdom. Luceti is his kingdom, after all...]

[And Touya is way down the rabbit hole.]

S-sure. Yeah! I'll be there.

[...Random person who'll regret this later. Wait, no. His name was... Touya, right?]

[voice]

[guardiancomplex.livejournal.com]

Excellent. I hope you will bring any friends or family you have as well. I don't plan to spare any expense on the feast afterwards.

[Touya, yes! Regret later .... very yes.]

[voice]

[godbent]

That's generous of you, all things considered.

[voice]

"All things considered"? [He frowns slightly, wondering what Haruhi could mean by that.]

[voice]

[godbent]

All... things considered! Inviting people you don't know that well to the ceremony!

[voice]

[guardiancomplex.livejournal.com]

But you are all my subjects. Doesn't a good king invite the kingdom to important events when they happen? [He doesn't know--he's only been a king for a day or two.]

[voice]

[godbent]

[ . . . ]

Yes, that is a very good point. They do.

Oh good, I was hoping I was doing the right thing. It doesn't seem like we've had a good festival in a while, either.

[voice]

[godbent]

No, I guess it doesn't seem that way. Might as well work it into the wedding.
