[A thin, elderly orange tabby cat glances at the crowd and nods.

It is time. He climbs the dais, assisted by Ranger Greycat, and reaches
the podium
as the moon slips above the horizon to shine softly.

Guests and others who have lost loved ones, fall silent. He sets his
list down and looks straight to the guests as he reads it. At the side,
a dog repeats it in ASL-C/D. He is
well lit by the moon.

Good evening, sirs and ma’am’s, and a special thank you to the
residents of this wonderful and ancient.

Welcome, all, to the twenty seventh annual Jellicle Ball!

Each October, at sundown of the evening of the first full moon, we
gather to pay tribute to our dear ones who have taken their final
journey in the year just past.

With hearts full of sorrow and abiding love, we treasure the memories
of the time they shared and the memories which are forever ours.
Much richer for having known and loved, much better for the lessons
learned, we smile despite our grief.

As always, the first name called represents those whose names we did
not know, those lost or tossed, taken through illness or abuse or
nature's fury.

We stand in silent thought, and send our hopes that they have found
peace and love at last.

[There is a short pause, then guests rise their glowsticks like candles
in memory. Light of the moon shines over all.]

strangers...our Jellicle Honorees:

Luko invites all in as the sun sets.

They are all amazed at the work done by the local friends. It is a
fairyland!

Once all are settled,

[A mature long furred Ragdoll mancat with white paws walks to a dais in
the temple. He is unaccustomed to
public speaking and is rather nervous, but he knows the importance of
the Jellicle Ball and is eager to do a good job. ]

Good evening, kitties and guests. I'm pleased to see so many old
friends and so many new friends. Welcome to the 2022
Jellicle Ball. I am honored to be your Master of Ceremonies this year.

Let's offer a round of applause and thanks to our hosts: Zorian, and
the local residents who
have so graciously offered the use of thier hotel for our gathering..
The Panatal is wonderful, and the local furry ones
are fascinating!

As you know the purpose of the Jellicle Ball is to allow us to remember
those members of the Community who have
departed for the Rainbow Bridge before we were ready for them to go. We
know that they still keep an eye on us from
the Bridge, and they sometimes show themselves to us, but it is on
this night that we come together to remember
them, and to share our memories of them, and to comfort each other as
feel their loss.

In a few moment Samuel Redcat will honor us with the first Calling of
Names. Those who wich to share their memories of
those who passed may do so when the first reading is complete. If any
names are missing, please announce them and
they will be added to the list. Once everybody has had a chance to
share their memories, Sammy will read the
final Calling of Names. Those names missed in the first calling will be
read in the second calling.

Between the first calling and the final, you may sit and listen to
tributes, you can visit the buffet for goodies,
you can dance to the wonderful live music of the local band.

Around midnight kitty time (which bears no relation to midnight human
time) we will sing Cat Angel and, if Bast blesses
us, we will catch a glimpse of the Rainbow Bridge and will see many of
our dear departed friends and family.

I now yield the dais to Sammy.
