text @PAPYRUS - HHA Luncheon

[spaghettimonster]

I HOPE EVERYBODY'S EXCITED ABOUT THE LUNCHEON TOMORROW!!!!

WITH THE HHA GOING DOOR TO DOOR.
TELLING THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD ABOUT IT...
I'M SURE IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG ACTIVITY.
A MUST-SEE FEBRUARY EVENT.

DOES EVERYONE HAVE SOME GOOD, CASUALLY FORMAL ATTIRE ARRANGED???

[After getting bullied into a different outfit at the Christmas Gala, he'd rather get a sense of what everyone else is planning to wear. And, while he's at it, doubly ensure that everyone has heard of the event - and caught on to the implied importance of going.]

With how expensive it is to tailor clothes to my damn size nowadays, I'm going to invest in a pair of good pants and rock it topless or something. The poster never said it had to be fully casual formal, right?

[ right. ] Seriously: I admit, I'm pretty curious about this whole shindig. This could be a chance of seeing the head of this association himself/herself/themself. I don't think they appeared in that speech the mayor give so seeing the brains behind this group would be nice.

That and learning what the hell this 'breadstick' is would be nice too. It's got to be something cool if it's gonna be a thing to brag on the flyers I've seen.

What does casually formal even mean? How can something be both casual and formal?

@kiara

[thotsandprayers]

I'm sure I can put something together. I'm willing to help if you'd like.

[Though she really has no idea what casual formal for this time period is like....but hey, then he can excuse things by saying his "wife" picked the outfit.]

I'm quite curious as to what the turnout will be.

Excited is 1 word for it
I couldn't get some people off my back without saying I'd go.

I think it'll be pretty fun. I'm sure I'll be able to find some kind of formal attire.

[spaghettimonster]

OH MY GOD, YOU'VE NEVER HAD A BREADSTICK?
YOU DEFINITELY HAVE TO GO.

BUT MAYBE WEAR MORE THAN PANTS.
IT DIDN'T SAY NO SHIRT, NO SHOES, NO SERVICE... BUT I THINK THAT'S IMPLIED.

@ian.fowler

[wittingly]

I wasn't going to, but then I saw the part about the breadsticks.

[spaghettimonster]

THE BORING ANSWER IS, SOMETHING BETWEEN CASUAL AND FORMAL.
BUT CLOTHES ARE SO MUCH EASIER TO MIX-AND-MATCH!
MAYBE A FORMAL SUIT JACKET, BUT A FUN, FESTIVE SHIRT.

[He is as in the dark as you, Huaisang, and fishing for answers with this communication.]

[spaghettimonster]

I GUESS, IF YOU WANT TO, I WON'T SAY NO.

[He's trying to play it cool over the network, but he'll be more plainly grateful for the help in person.]

IT SEEMS TO BE QUITE THE TALK OF THE TOWN.
SO PROBABLY, AT LEAST AS POPULAR AS PREVIOUS SHINDIGS.

[spaghettimonster]

EXCITED... AGITATED BY PEER PRESSURE...
IS THERE REALLY A DIFFERENCE, WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO IT?

[spaghettimonster]

I'M SURE IT WILL BE!!

AND I'M SURE YOU CAN FIND SOME, EVEN IF IT TAKES A LITTLE SHOPPING.
I'M BROWSING SOME CLOTHES RACKS AS WE SPEAK.

[spaghettimonster]

THAT PART'S AN UNDENIABLE DRAW.
BUT SUCH A BOLD PROMISE. ENDLESS BREADSTICKS...
CAN THEY REALLY DELIVER ON IT?

[wittingly]

I don't know, man, I seriously think they're underestimating the breadstick eating capacity here.

What's your number? You like a 4 breadstick person?

[spaghettimonster]

HMM. DO YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T COUNTED.

IT DEPENDS ON THEIR SIZE, ANYWAY!
BITE-SIZE BREADSTICKS HARDLY COUNT... BUT TECHNICALLY, THEY DO.

[ribticklers]

i'm going in my pajamas and seeing if i can eat so many breadsticks they kick me out

[He is not.]

[spaghettimonster]

SANS!
WEAR REAL CLOTHES TO THE PARTY, OR I'M STICKING AN ANCHOR ON YOU.

[This is the closest to blue magic he can manage right now, so it's not an idle threat. Except for the part where he doesn't yet own an anchor.]

[ribticklers]

that'd be a drag

[spaghettimonster]

REALLY??
STOW THE NAUTICAL PUNS UNTIL YOU PROMISE.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

yeah,

@erwinsmith

[13thcommander]

I was planning on wearing a shirt with a collar and a sweater. I assume that would be appropriate.

I've been meaning to ask, Papyrus: is your communicator broken? It only types in capital letters.

[spaghettimonster]

THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE PERFECT BLEND.
SOFT AND CASUAL SWEATERS, MEET COLLARED FORMAL SHIRTS.

AS FOR YOUR QUESTION, THANKS FOR THE CONCERN... BUT NO.
THAT'S JUST MY PERSONAL TOUCH, TO SPRUCE UP ALREADY GREAT COMMENTS.

[spaghettimonster]

'YEAH' IS ONE WORD FOR IT...

[13thcommander]

I think so. And pants, of course. Maybe a pair of khakis.

[Erwin is really leaning into the high school Physics teacher look.]

I see. Is that something common, where you're from?

[ribticklers]

[Come on, Papyrus, you know how he feels about promises! Which is a good enough excuse as any to continue this stupidity.]

i'll wear my good slippers
the bunny ones

[thotsandprayers]

Oh good. Then we can figure it out together.

And I expect as much. But they do seem quite insistent about this one.

[Okay, the others too, but this seems a little more than that if you ask her.]
