Party planner
With exams at the end of the month, and her schedule with her dad and his business, Cleo makes the sensible choice.

Thanks for voting!
When you can’t do something yourself for reasons, then it’s time to call in a pro. Smart move Cleo!
yes, but hiring “the best” to do it isn’t always the smartest move. Sometimes they have a very different idea of how stuff should be done and think they don’t have to clear stuff with their client before doing it. Sometimes they’re right. Other times, not so much.
That can happen, fortunately that seems unlikely here. Miss Lavigne is going to talk things over with Cleo first and I’m sure Cleo will give her a good idea of what the twins and the guests are like and a detailed account of what kind of party she wants prepared.
Re: Vote Incentive – I kind of wish we could get a full size version of that picture of Lilly~
Right here, good sir:

The business is strong in this one,
letting the pros take the strain;
relieving pressure on herself
before she rides the homework train.
It won’t lack the personal touch;
just that mostly it won’t be hers.
She’ll have to put a party plan in though…
it can never hurt to rehearse.
Cleo consults Alex’ directory
to call and direct her sage friend.
Perhaps she needed to mention age
but there’s always a mistake in the end.
Don’t forget she didn’t mention
At least two other important facts:
That they’re *twins* and *dragons*
Will both have quite large impacts!
Looks like Cleo has a network of contacts that will become incredibly impressive before we know it.
A snarky butler is the best butler.
So much playful banter! I needed that laugh.
On an off-topic note, I noticed that after voting I saw that Twin Dragons has been holding position #24 on TopWebComics.
Unfortunately, it fell a bit because I didn’t have time to finish a voting incentive last week. It was at #16 ^^
#16 is pretty good, hopefully not long before you are up there in the top 10.
Am I the only one to think the vase kept changing pattern before realising they were walking?
It took me an embarrasingly long time to figure out ;-;
The vases are on opposite sides of the room.
It’s going too perfect : it’s unnatural . What or who will be the derailing grain of sand ?
Larissa, Diana, Katsumi, Jin, or Kai and Maya themselves? I wouldn’t put it past the twins to have overheard Cleo’s planning, those big ol’ ears aren’t just for show (and possibly cooling down their blood flow if they crank their internal temperatures up higher than they can manage).
I’m thinking Kaya’s issue with Cleo expending extravagant amounts of money on her and Kai might come up again. It certainly seems like Cleo is going to be putting a large amount of effort into throwing them a big party.
“I’ll fly over…” Uh-oh; this already has foreshadowing of overspending as far as Kaya is concerned!
Unless, of course, Astrid just means “hurry.” But; knowing Cleo… 🙂
She promised daddy to be responsible with money and keep it simple. Apparently their idea of simple has room for a flown-in professional party planner.
Now that the party planning is out of the way, next is homework and present shopping! This part is among the most dangerous of the surprise party obstacles, if Cleo, Benji, or Rex (Nate’s nerves and “bearings” of steel plus his cleverness leaves him above the others in secret keeping) act too suspicious, Kai and Kaya will be on to them. Both of them are stealthier than they look, Kaya especially, given that she followed Cleo around without her, Larissa, Diana, or Liz noticing. … On second thought, that might also say more about Cleo’s observation skills…
This Astrid seems nice, I wonder how she and Cleo met. Maybe they’re cousins? Well, she does have the energetic hair for party planning (Astrid’s the first person in this comic I’ve seen with an afro) so she’s likely to plan a birthday party wild enough for the Twin Dragons Kai and Kaya Romero. Don’t underestimate the power of the Afro! Maybe Jin, Benji, and Jasper would get afros after shaking themselves dry…

Ooh, don’t forget to have a karaoke machine for the party, Cleo! Kaya would love it! And making her brother try to sing something on it!
Kaya: Cleo, what did I tell you about spending huge amounts of money on me and Kai?
Cleo: I’m not; I’m spending huge amounts of money on making sure everyone has a good time. You just happen to be the theme.
Kaya: “Oh, OK then. Wait… then who’s the party for?”
Cleo: “Uhh…” [Thinking] ‘I hate when she switches out of ditz mode…’
Turtimus: ” ‘I hate when she switches out of ditz mode…’”
>> ” ‘I hate when she switches out of ditz mode…’” __unexpectedly.__ 🙂
World Guide: Move the comma from the end of “system” to “media”.
I suspect Robin may have intended a cut away section, like this one, but dropped it and the comma t the end of system was left by accident. It’s not really required to have one after media.
IF you’re going to use a comma in that sentence at all, -I’d- put it after “hybridization.” 🙂
Cleo taking this in stride has really endeared her to me.
You get the best butlers/servants at Snarky-Butlers-R-Us.
If their birthday is the 15th of Sept I am happy that I share a birthday so close to theirs ^,^
This chapter is called “The 15th of June”.
Hope you enjoyed your birthday. Mine’s today.
Apparently party hair isn’t parted hair then.
They don’t call it a “funny afro” for nothing! Afros also channel a lot of power, “Afro Luffy” and “Soul King” Brook are clear examples.

Sorry for the repeat, my reply was sent as a normal comment.
Heh. I just noticed Alex handed Cleo the address book -without- opening it to the proper page -for- her, but did tell her where to look. 🙂
🙂 Subtle, ain’t he? 🙂
I’m not sure if she say I’ll forgive you because I don’t have time to be mad at you or if it’s I’ll forgive you for cake this time situation
