The clocks are nearing up on midnight, and Jean-Claude knows that it is his call to action. He has made sure that all of his preparations are in place, and there is no time like the present. So it is with great ceremony that he makes his way up onto the stage at the front of the room and spreads his hands wide to call attention from the crowd. The music lowers itself softly, in observance of the moment, and Jean-Claude nods to the DJ in thanks.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the nest and the night," Jean-Claude addresses the room. "Your attention, if I may. Tonight is a very special evening. And it calls for a very special celebration." He gestures across the room to Raymond. "I have brought a present for you, mon ami. A present for the nest as a whole, perhaps you could say."
