โ TDM: V was in the middle of something when he was summoned to Fellden. Weak and disoriented, he was immediately mobbed by over-excited Moon Temple revelery and had to be extricated from their clutches by the likes of Lightning and Mia. He even encountered some familiar faces in the city when both Nero and Dante recognized his noisy chicken squawking overhead. He eventually retreated to the Temple district for some quiet. Still avoiding the over-eager locals, he accidentally ended up in Kyst where he was conscripted into helping with decorations after Griffon's failed attempt to find him some lunch. This required the help of Hakuno, Dimitri, and Orchid to fully complete. In the evening, he had the misfortune to encounter another familiar face in Vergil and luckily nobody died.
โ Intro Log: After taking care of warmer clothes, food, and some rest V was ready to face more of the new challenges posed to him. He attempted to practice with the local magic of Fellden, but mostly found himself still too weak. He received some consolation from the likes of Bruce and Clary. He also got solidly owned by someone better at it than him. With that embarrassment out of the way, he and Griffon moved on to a bit of courier work in order to learn their way around the city. Visiting Kyst to observe the Winterfest celebrations turned out to be too much excitement for Griffon who menaced many. He stole some gloves and some cinnamon rolls, and he menaced the trees which drew ire (and bemusement) from Dimitri, Rey, Korra, and Nero. V resolved to come back to view the trees later, without Griffon, and in the meantime went to look at masquerade outfits. He got directions on where he could indulge his need to wear all black from Hakuno and Lightning. They also got a bowtie for Griffon, so now they're ready for the ball. In the evening, he had the misfortune to run into Vergil again.
โ Masquerade: V and Griffon attended the party. Under the enchantment, Griffon became a real bird and was able to hang out and interact separate of V. Still, he spent most of the party in the chandelier playing sentinel because Lightning is a paranoid chick. He did however make some exceptions to hit the buffet, check in on V, and have a little chat with Dima. V spent much of the party debating food with Edelgard, Izuku, Constantin, Sal, Billy, and Lottie. It was the topic of the night with so many home favorites available. He only agreed to dance with Hakuno, but also found himself involuntarily under the mistletoe with Mercedes, Grell, Klaus, and Bakugo during the night. While he refused to be kissed by any of them, he made conversation with most. He also had a strange conversation with D in the garden, and a few words with Lady Temperance under the fireworks. He warned Dante not to make a mess of things, and when he found Vergil tucked away from the party, essentially warned him not to make a mess of this chance to be with his family. The enchantment over the party stopped anyone from being hurt, but V was still angry when he bumped into Nero. Not thinking clearly or maybe thinking perfectly clearly, who knows, V took one of the Warlock's violins home with him from the party as a gift for his idiot other self.
