Combeferre is right behind him and he'll just step over him

Joly: *tacklehugs everyone as well*

Marius: How strange, this feeling that his life's begun (again) at last.

Courf: *keeps texting*

Jehan CUDDLES FOREVER

Joly: I've been so lonely.

Marius: Can Marius just -- g e n t l y place his head on Courfeyrac's shoulder.

Jehan Percival Sinclair Beauregard takes his place at one of the tables

Joly: Joly will probably tear up if Marius does but it would be so sweet.

Bahorel: "Same" joins Jehan's cuddles

Combeferre is bribing enjolras to move to a table by offering him a cupcake

Joly: wants cuddles

Marius: "--................ Hello."

Joly: *needs cuddles*

Joly: Hi.

Courf: "Hey buddy."

Marius: "I haven't seen you in like, two days."

Bahorel: *pulls Joly into cuddles*

Marius: "Or two weeks. I forget."

Enjolras will move to a table and get out the meeting notes.

Courf: "Two months?? Feels like two years."

Jehan: "Two /thousand/ years"

Bahorel: "Two bazillion years"

Jehan: "Far too long."

Joly: A lot longer than that.

Jehan: "Far TWO long"

Marius: Marius quietly wonders where Cosette is. :|

Bahorel: "Haha punny Jehan"

Enjolras: Enjolras doesn't know where Cosette is.

Enjolras: #bestbrother

Marius: #bestboyfriend

Courf: Wonders where Valjean is.

Enjolras: [STARES]

Jehan wonders where GRANTAIRE is

Jean Valjean joined the chat

Jean Valjean checking what his son's up to

Enjolras looks @ Courf.

Enjolras shakes head.

Joly: Joly cries because he misses Bossuet.

Enjolras: "We need to start our meeting."

Courf: "Right!"

Jehan bonjour second daddy

Joly: misses his dad too tbh

Marius: Marius RAISES his HAND.

Enjolras: "Yes, Marius."

Marius: "I have an order of business."

Enjolras: "And that would be--"

Enjolras: "Hopefully relevant to Les Amis--"

Marius: "I think we should purchase custom-made aprons."

Joly: waves at jvj

Marius: "For Les Amis."

Courf: "Should I be taking notes?--"

Combeferre: "What does that have to do with anything?"

Joly: "For soup kitchens, maybe?"

Marius: ".............. Yes. Exactly."

Jehan: "Then when we volunteer we can get our names out?"

Joly: "That kind of does make sense."

Jean Valjean: waves at Joly

Enjolras: "Marius is there an ulterior motive for the aprons."

Marius: "Well, I was--" i s t h a t vl aje an

Joly: "How is...Enj, what ulterior motives do aprons have?"

Marius: ab ort a boRT AB ORT

Marius: "Nevermind."

Jehan: "No no, it could be nice."

Jehan: "We can make a cute logo!"

Joly: "That could be fun."

Courf: "Question, could the aprons have code names?"

Combeferre: "No"

Jehan: "Yes!"

Marius: Looks At Valjean With Questionable Intent.

Joly: "Why would aprons have code names?"

Courf: Looks at Marius looking at Valjean, does Marius have a secret dad thing??

Jean Valjean: doesn't understand why pontmercy is staring at him.

Courf: "Well why the hell wouldn't they?"

Combeferre: "Wouldn't that just confuse people if you're wearing them to go volunteer at places?"

Joly: "You just like code names."

Courf: "Guilty on that one."

Jehan: "I can be Eagle One. Eponine could be Been there Done That. Grantaire can be Currently Doing That. Marius is It Happened Once in a Dream. Courf is If I Had to Pick a Priss. Enj is Eagle two."

Combeferre: relieved that he was left out

Joly: *chokes*

Jehan bows

Courf: "Priss? ExcUSE ME." #offended

Jehan: "<3"

Enjolras: "....We should move on to actual, relevant topics."

Jean Valjean: chuckling in amusement

Jehan: "Can do, Eagle Two."

Enjolras: "."

Joly: "I find this topic incredibly relevant."

Marius: ...

Enjolras: "Halloween is coming up, and that presents a lot of volunteer opportunities."

Joly: "That does sound like fun."

Marius: Raises hand again.

Enjolras: "Yes, Marius."

Marius: "I was thinking we could all dress as the same person and then do a flash mob."

Marius: "For charity."

Joly: "Thriller? Can we do Thriller?"

Combeferre: "How will that help charity? Are you planning to have people there panning for money during it?"

Joly: "Put out donation buckets? It works for street performers."

Joly: (joly just wants a thriller flash mob okay)

Marius: "It was just an idea, forget it."

Joly: "It was a good idea, though."

Combeferre: "It is, I just don't think we would get enough money out of it for the amount of work it would take."

Jean Valjean joined the chat

Enjolras: "I was thinking more of the lines of throwing a Halloween party for less fortunate kids, or working with a shelter to help black cats that tend to get killed around that time."

Joly <still wants a hug>​

Jehan: "cATS

Joly: CATS

Joly: CATS

Joly: CATS

Marius: Marius is going to move a little Closer to Cosette's Dad.

Joly has a need for another cat

Joly: We could adopt black cats!

Jehan marius has a death wish i see

Jehan: "What if they hurt Percival Sinclair Beauregard?"

Jehan holds said rodent to chest protectively

Combeferre: "I think both of those are great ideas. And Jehan I think Percival is safe."

Jean Valjean: He's going to watch Marius out of the corner of his eye

Jehan said rodent proceed to climb over to combeferre's shoulder

Joly: I'm gonna call him Blackjack.

Marius: Marius is going to casually whisper to Valjean -- "Hi."

Combeferre: he'll glance at it before turning his attention back tot he meeting, petting him softly

Jean Valjean: "...hello. How are you Marius?"

Joly: If you get a kitten, they can be trained not to bother Percival Sinclair Beauregard

Marius: "I'm alive. How are you, Cosette's Dad?"

Jehan: "Oo, you did want another pet, Ferre!"

Combeferre: "I was thinking of getting one."

Jean Valjean: "I'm well.... You know you may use my name?"

Joly: Hippocrates is gonna kill me if I bring home another cat, but he's getting older and I really think it'd be nice to transition a new kitty or two into the place.

Enjolras: "We can do both. The first one is more active while the second is more of an awareness campaign."

Joly: "We can do a party for the kids and let them play with the cats to see they're not scary!"

Marius: "Okay, Cosette's Dad."

Courf: Side eyes Marius.

Jean Valjean: "Fauchelevent. Or Jean. Call me one of those, please."

Joly: "Plus it'd be nice to, you know, show kids how to gently treat animals. And socialize the cats. I think everyone wins."

Combeferre: "That might have issues-- if one of the cats gets upset or isn't used to people they might bite, in which case we or the shelter would be held accountable by an angry parent."

Marius: "Alright, 'bro' Fauchey." Winks.

Jean Valjean: "....No."

Joly: "Well, we'd have to figure out the temperament of the cats of course. And the kids."

Joly really wants another cat now

Joly or three

Marius: N ervous laughter.

Marius: Inches away slowly. Back to Courf he goes, indeed.

Courf: "Maybe two separate events though? Kids plus cats seems like a disaster waiting to happen."

Joly: "Okay, maybe not together, ultimately. But we should totally do both, it'll be fun."

Combeferre: "Two seperate events would be best. If we plan we might be able to get the shelter to come to the school's campus with some cats."

Enjolras: "Especially if the parent organization gives us an older age group to work with."

Jean Valjean: watches him go

Joly: "The campus would be great, because a lot of students would love to adopt pets but find getting to the shelter an issue."

Courf joined the chat

Marius: ....

Marius: The distant tune of 'he could die tonight' plays in the background.

Courf: Looks at Marius. "You ok bud?"

Jean Valjean: he's not even trying to be scary honestly pontmercy

Marius: Marius is just going to -- pick up Courfeyrac's arm and hide beneath it.

Jean Valjean: h o n e s t l y

Jehan: "Papa Jean how was your day <3"

Jehan see he's Approachable

Jean Valjean: that's how it's done pontmercy.

Marius: Fauchey.

Enjolras: [why is everyone after my dad]

Jehan im sorry

Jehan: "Yes, Jehan!"

Courf: Pats Marius on the back.

Jean Valjean: "They both have so many friends I don't want to get any of confused. My day was very well. How have you been?"

Joly is now sitting on the other side of jehan

Jehan hi joly

Marius: "Anyway."

Enjolras: "Well since everyone seems to be on board with those ideas, I'll go finalize them and bring the information to the next meeting."

Joly: "So what are our Halloween plans, then? I mean, the day itself."

Enjolras: "The cause, Joly."

Jean Valjean: "Why don't you have a party at the house Julian?"

Marius: "........"

Enjolras: "...We were going to be volunteering."

Joly: "The cause is literally your plan every day, Enj."

Jehan: "We need something fun too!"

Jehan: "A party would be wonderful!"

Courf: "Party??"

Joly: "Parties are good."

Jean Valjean: "A costume party," he clarified.

Joly: "Even better."

Marius: Marius is excited to show up as Napoleon.

Enjolras stares, Dad why are you doing this.

Jean Valjean because i'm a cool dad that's why

Courf: Is definitely going to go as Harry Styles.

Joly is already planning his costume

Marius: Marius wonders what COSETTE WILL WEAR.

Jean Valjean: *dad senses tingle... eyes narrow at Marius*

Marius: H o w d o es he k nwo

Joly: "Enj, this could be a lot of...dare I say it...fun."

Joly is a costume nerd

Enjolras: "It's not that I'm opposed to a party, it's just we were supposed to be hosting a volunteer event."

Enjolras: "On halloween."

Jehan: "Why not both?"

Enjolras: "I'm not banning everyone from dressing up."

Joly: "You can do both, it's a Friday."

Jean Valjean: "What time would the event end?"

Jehan: "We can do an event the morning and afternoon of, then party all night long@"

Enjolras groans loudly.

Joly: "We'll do the event with the kids on Friday, they'll then go trick or treating and we can have a party."

Enjolras: "Let's wait until I get everything settled before we make plans, okay?"

Courf: Nudges Enj. "come on mr. grumpy gills"

Marius: "Could we charge people to get into the party?"

Marius: "I could be the bouncer."

Joly: "I have a really cool Spiderman costume that's a little tall for me if one of you wants it."

Jehan fmarusig

Jean Valjean: "There will be no charging to get into a party at my house."

Joly: marius why

Joly: "I'm guessing that was a suggestion for...charity?"

Enjolras: "No party planning until I get the Les Amis things scheduled."

Jean Valjean: "I have two college students living in my house, I know none of you have money. If you want to raise money for charity ask for donations."

Marius: Cosette lives there.

Jehan hey marius

Jehan cosette BATHES there

Enjolras also bathes there.

Jehan hot

Jean Valjean also bathes there

Enjolras: .

Enjolras: "So, since we agreed on what to do, I believe we can wrap up here?"

Jehan i bet courf finds that hot

Jehan: "Do we have to leave"

Marius: .

Enjolras: "No, but you can if you want to."

Enjolras: "And no talking about a party."

Jehan: "Ferre! We should bake for the party"

Enjolras: "I just said--"

Jehan: "B)"

Combeferre: "We should!"

Enjolras: "Ferre--"

Jean Valjean: "Relax Julian. Let them have a party."

Jehan: "Oui, Julian <3"

Joly: "It's gonna be fun."

Enjolras: "I'm just saying we can talk about it next week where we can avoid scheduling issues."

Jehan: "D'accordddd"

Jehan totally gonna talk about it

Jehan holy shit where did Percival Sinclair Beauregard end up

Combeferre he's still on ferre's shoulder

Combeferre offers enjolras a cookie from his bag to make him happy

Jehan scoops up the degu and places him in his rightful home, their bag

Enjolras: [compliant friends would make Enjolras happy.]

Combeferre: u sure a cookie wouldn't do that too

Jehan joined the chat

Marius: Marius finds it unclear as to whether he is invited to the party.

Enjolras sighs.

Combeferre: take the cookie enjolras

Courf: Already has so many ideas for decor.

Enjolras: I can't believe my two best friends have betrayed me.

Jehan et tu courf

Joly: "You'll live, Enj. And you might even enjoy it."

Courf: "Enj quick question whats our balloon budget?"

Joly: "I have a million balloons, I'll donate them!"

Enjolras: "You would have to ask Feuilly."

Courf: "A friend of a friend is a club promoter. I'll hit him up now."

Enjolras: "Courf-- I just said no planning until next week."

Marius: "This is going well."

Joly wonders what planet marius lives on

Enjolras: "...Though I guess I'll do my best to get everything organized by Tuesday, if that would make everyone happy."

Joly: "Tuesday is good."

Jehan: swaggy

Courf: "OK OK Just one more question.... whats our flavour palette a potential signature cocktail?"

Courf: *for

Jehan: "Orange and black for halloween!"

Enjolras feels his headache growing.

Enjolras: "I trust your instincts, Courf."

Marius: "Listen, it has been fun, but I really need to go study."

Marius: Who is he kidding - he got all of his studying done yesterday.

Enjolras: "I should get going to organize everything." He quickly glances at Valjean. "And finish my homework."

Jean Valjean gives him a thumbs up

Jehan like a Cool Dad

Enjolras: "I'll email everyone on tuesday."

Marius: "I'll see you guys later. Except for Fauchey-- crap."

Jean Valjean eyebrow raise
