64 [Video]

[ATTENTION, ADSTRINGENDUM. Hino Rei is on your screens, tapping the camera lightly with a finger, to get everyone's attention.]

Hello, everyone!

In two days, Tanabata begins, and we're going to have a festival in honor of it! I want everyone -- and I mean everyone, so Cas, Ulquiorra, Toushirou, you have to come, too -- everyone has to show up in their best clothes -- yukatas if you can manage to find or make them in time -- at 7:00 PM at [x,y]. Bring some food and drinks and entertainment -- we can all pitch in to have a fun summer gathering for once.

[Here, her smile becomes a little less energetic and a little softer.]

Everybody needs a chance to relax.

[But then, Rei is back to her brisk self.]

I'm also going to be doing fortune telling at the event again -- like at the Halloween party last year! So if you want to get your fortune told, you can come find me!

[And have a wink.]

Free of charge, just this once.

EDIT: THE LOG IS UP NOW. Have fun, guys!

What is a Tanabata?

It's a festival to recognize the story of the two separated lovers.

[And his smile turns a touch sad. That hits him personally for more reasons than he'll ever say.] The story of all separated lovers?

No -- it's a star festival. The deities Orihime and Hikoboshi -- two stars in the sky -- only meet once a year, on July 7th. The festival is held in their honor.

[Not something he's used to but, if she wants him to be there. He reaches up to stop Timcampi from taking his dinner.] I can make it.

Do you need any help setting it up?

[She brightens! Offers of help were like gold in this place.]

You can help set up food, if you want.

[And he brightens up like magic, even Timcampi flutters with excitement.]

Really?! Sure!

[Rei grins - and it even gets a laugh.]

Definitely!
