Default Jellicle Ball 2017: Rebecca opens the Ball

Sundance and/or Rebecca wrote in rec.pets.cats.community:

[An elderly girlkitty walks to the podium. She's a little slower than
she used to be, but she's determined to do her part to honor departed
loved ones for what is almost certainly her last time. She looks
around at the assembled kitties. When her glance falls on her beloved
Hercule, they smile at each other.]

Gud eevnin, kitties an utherz, old frenz an noo. Welkum to da 2017
Jellicle Ball. Wunce agin, I iz onnered to be yurown Mistress of
Serrymoniez at owr most impurrtant event. Pleez be shur to sine da
gest book if yoo haznt alreddy dun so.

Dis yeer we iz in a wunnerful place, Antarctica. Sum of yurownselvez
wuz skepi... sepikl... wuznt shur dis wuz a gud choice, but I hope
yoo awl injoy an apurrsheate it. Not only are we RPCC kittiez
discoverin a noo place, but we haz met sum noo frenz. We wuz happee
to hewp reskyoo da kittiez hoo wuz stranded on da broked ice shelf,
an to hewp owrown noo frenz reconneckt to da rest of da whirled.

An luk at da bootiful place dey haz let ussez use fur owrown
serrymoniez! Dis bootiful ballroom, made frum ice an compakted snow,
wif its kleer ice ceiling dat will let ussez see da Rainbow Bridge.
Haz yoo noitissed dat da lite kummin throo da ceilin getz brokin up
an makez rainbows efurrywhare? I espeshullee likez da way dat da
tabulz seemz to grow rite owt of da flor. Iznt it amazin dat da flor
iz not only warm enuf to walk on, but also not slipperee? Dey also
tellz me dat hot fudz will not melt da tabulz! It muss awl be sum
majick frum da time when owrown hostz wuz first connekted to da
Second World comoonitee.

Dis yeer'z skejool of eventz iz much da same az uther yeerz. In a
minnit, Daisy-chan will onner ussez wif da furst callin of namez. If
dere iz namez dat needz to be added to da list, dey kan be added
ennee time befur da final callin at da end of da ball.

After da furst callin, dere will be free-form time when yoo kan giv
or lissen to tribyootz, eet, danse, an vizzit wif frenz. Feel free to
giv ennee tribyootz yoo likez, evin fur luvved onez dat wuznt called:
namez frum tribyootz will be added if necessary. Owr Antarctic hostz
haz purrvided a feest dat inkloodz RPCC fafuritz as well az lokal
delicaciez. Hercule Lenoir an hizown orkestra will purrvide mewzik
fur dansin an lissenin between da tribyootz.

Arown midnite -- datz midnite kittee time, not hoomin time! -- we
will look up at da sky, sing "Cat Anjil", an, if Bast seez fit, see
da Rainbow Bridge an sum of owrown departid luvved onez.

[Rebecca pauses, looks up, and seems deep in thought. Whut iz it like
up dere, she wonders. In the audience, tears well up in the eyes of a
sleek Havana Brown kitty, a orange tabby mancat, and a gray and white
tuxedo girlkitty. After a moment, Rebecca continues.]

After dat, dere will be more free time until da final kallin of
namez, which will konklood da JB.

[Rebecca starts to say something more, but changes her mind.]

An now, when she iz reddy, Daisy-chan will do da firstest callin of
dis yeer's namez.

[Rebecca returns to her cushion next to Hercule, Sundance, and
Pit2nya.]


Daisy chan as she finalizes the last entries, looks about at the
amazing decour the Community Kittahs have created! There are lovely
flowering plants that are cold hardy and came from the green house.
She loves the 2 buffet tables with the live Sashimi tank between them!
