Home Economics; Friday, Second Period [02/04[.
"Last week," Ignis started the class that morning with a faint smile that actually seemed somewhat less subtle than his usual retrained expressions of amusement, "we learned quite a bit with cleaning, didn't we? And while there are quite a few more essential lessons to be learned in regards to proper home maintenance ahead of us, I thought perhaps we could take it a little bit easier today before we get into the Next Big Thing."
And when words like 'take it easy' escaped from Ignis Scientia, you knew he was in either a remarkably good mood or had perhaps been bit by a gremlin or replaced with someone else entirely.
"Today," he continued, "I'd like you all to work together in planning for a party. After all, entertaining guests and serving as a good host is a crucial part in maintaining a household, and, quite frankly, it's one of the more enjoyable aspects of it, as well. But that doesn't mean that it may not require careful planning and deliberation to make it go smoothly and well so that your guests may have an evening to remember that they will surely talk about for years to come.
"As I said, I'd like you to all work together in planning for this party, so it will serve as an excellent team building exercise as well. Things you'll need to determine: what kind of party is it? What will it be for? Who will be the likely guests and how will you invite them? You'll want to determine things like food, beverages, entertainment....decor, venue, and any other considerations that may fall into place as you start to plan for your event. I will, of course, be here if you have any questions, but I would like to see you all use your ecclectic mix of backgrounds and experiences to come together and collaborate on a truly great soirree. For the purposes of this exercise, your budget is unlimited, although, depending on what you decide to go with, we may examine such expenses more closely in a future class to get a better handle on just how far an entertainment dollar can or cannot stretch.
"And, with that, I'll leave you to it, and I look forward to hearing what you come up with by the end of class."
