WHO? Everyone.
WHAT? House parties.
WHEN? During the first three weeks, but after the banquet and House Chchai's demise.
ANYTHING ELSE? If characters have specific actions they'd like to take direct them here. Jumbled mess of a post plotting post is here.

He arrives late with Starbucks, and when the Araneans ask the reason for his delay, he shrugs and tells them that he had asked for almond milk, not soy milk, there's a very big difference. The Araneans find this a decent excuse, just roll their eight eyes in sympathy, and start sharing stories about mishaps at Starbucks, mostly that even the Aranean baristas kept misspelling their names and I swear, like, it's like they're doing it, like, on purpose? I, like. Don't get it.

Juuuust kidding.

But after a while deciding, he does use the fact that his near invisibility as a natural grants him access to the party without much of a second glance. He takes the time to listen in to conversations, steer away from the hors d'oeuvres that look, sound, and smell alive and swiping those that don't. He mingles well, almost too well, into the shadows, to the point that he nods at another watcher in the shadows with an asshole smirk in his face.

Near invisibility, though, because as it is, those in House Jankeh are interested in technology, especially applied to engineering. And as a natural, he's overlooked, but the technology perched on the bridge of his nose is a call out to a couple of Araneans who try to be disruptive for the sake of... being disruptive, really. In the back of his mind he remembers Igawa complaining about Silicon Valley venture capitalist fickleness, very vaguely.

When these Araneans start asking things about specifications and upgrades and soundproof workarounds, he vaguely wonders if he'd be like a fish in the water here. He does, however, start speaking in shorter sentences, the grit filling his voice at each reply.

... he is already going to die soon, help him not die again?
