Open Post: Marketing

[futaille]

Now that things have managed to settle down after the havoc of this month's event from the mansion spirits, Grantaire has set his sights on a much more organic event. He did as promised and improved upon Enjolras' early attempt at a flier. It even passed Apollo's judgment and was printed. So now Grantaire is dutifully walking around the mansion with a stack of fliers to post them in whatever public areas he comes across, even venturing outside to hang them up in outbuildings, and enough were printed that there are plenty of extras to be handed out personally if anyone seems curious.

He's of course sure not everyone will come, but the more people do, the more it will seem right, as far as he's concerned, so he's perfectly willing to pitch the event to anyone who seems the least bit amenable to one. Apparently he can stay on task with proper motivation.

"Of course." There is, thankfully, a parlor with a drinks cabinet nearby, so he heads there. "Do you have any particular serving suggestion?"

"Oh, chilled. I suppose you could make a cocktail, but then you wouldn't be able to argue its unique benefits at the gathering."

[futaille]

"Excellent point. Chilled it is. Should I assume you'd like one as well?"

[quote_gentle_unquote]

"You should."

[futaille]

"Of course." He does indeed find some Limoncello in the drinks cabinet and goes about preparing a chilled glass of it for each of them. "I have high hopes."

Susan holds up her glass so that Grantaire might clink his against it. "Cheers."

[futaille]

"Cheers." He promptly clinks his glass against hers and takes a drink, his eyebrows rising a bit as he tastes the limoncello. "Huh. Sweeter than I imagined it would be."

[quote_gentle_unquote]

"Is it! I find most cordials rather sweet."

[futaille]

"Oh, I agree that they are, but I thought the citrus would temper the sweetness more than it does. Not that I dislike it, it's still quite refreshing."

[quote_gentle_unquote]

"It's quite good with a splash of prosecco, too, if you'd rather cut the sweetness."

[futaille]

"Perhaps next time I have some. I should appreciate it on its own terms first, I think."

[quote_gentle_unquote]

"Very well," says Susan. She likes it fine on its own, as well. She takes a sip, and regards Grantaire for a long moment. "I do hope this is giving you ample ammunition for the cordial debate."

[futaille]

"Oh, of course." He grins. "I'll also have to make sure to do a more comprehensive refresher of other facets of the debate before the meeting."

[quote_gentle_unquote]

"What a miserable hardship!"

[futaille]

"Oh, yes. The torments I put myself through for the sake of debate."

[quote_gentle_unquote]

"Truly," says Susan. "A model for us all." She gives him another silent toast.
