(2504) Eternal Seasons

[Circe]

"Bee Tee Dubs," Circe pipes in as she lets Fugly go back to Sonja. "They DO have a technically ice cream on a pizza." One can almost hear her making air quoets," Pizza sized cookie are called cookie pizza. Seen them serving as the base for ice cream cake," Circe stands back up as she brushes herself off. The goes over to return the banana soda to the bag. Grabbing her own blood orange soda. Spinning her Hedgespun multitool in her hand, it has a bottle opener now. Pop and pocket the cap, no way is Prince Fugly accidentally eating a bottle cap. "Though if you want to try, get real pizza that is good cold and try it with cold pizza."


Circe was conflicted on whether to be present or not for such an experiment. Depending on how sick Sonja or Mina got, it'd be funny or distressing.


Circe isn't oblivious to the tension between Kray and Svelte. That was an oddity or something she missed maybe? Great.


"Good," she nods firmly as Mina confirms her freedom. She'd missed most of it, but got the gist. Prince Fugly is a good excuse to miss stuff! "If you need any leverage for getting hired," she chuckles darkly, "I only know people in the props business. Not much help, but the Freehold has so many skills. Totally like Leverage getting leverage."


Circe then goes to stand by Svelte. She decides to be helpful to The Help. Read that book, don't be the bitch queen or you eat shit. "Svelte," she nods to him, "Any flavors you want to try? List it, I might have it," she points the glass soda bottle towards her coolers. "Also," she leans in with a smile, "First, nice suit my friend. Second. You and Kray? You okay?"


Kray was a big BIG boy. He could handle himself and she knew him enough to talk to him later. That and she'd the funds to buy a couple dozen KFC family meals to bribe him into talking to her.


A paranoid voice in her head points out that may be his plan. Kray making trouble with others, Circe buys much food to get his words, and miracle of miracles Circe talks him down until the next time.


The Summer Larcenist mentally gives that voice the finger.

[Withers]

Seeing all that he desired and finding himself quite beyond the need for company, the King of Winter quietly slipped away, as was his habit.

Withers leaves the scene

[Vincent Black]

Vincent gets a chuckle of Circe being stuck in a pun loop about bananas, "Hey Circe!! Remind me to get some jokes out of you if I ever become a dad!!"

Overhearing the conversation of ice cream on pizza over the begging of treats from Fugly. "That sounds like some pregnancy craving food. But then again I am not one to turn down a glass of egg nog with pizza during the winter seasons." Vincent then turns to Fugly, "What do you think buddy, does ice cream go on pizza?"

[Sonnie Wu]

"Fugly IS as spoiled puppy, and he absolutely deserves it!" Sonnie nodded confidently.

She stared in shock at Circe and the avalanche of banana puns. Good lord, what had she unleashed? "Don't make me exile you. I have that power now. I think."

"Cold pizza is quite good. Who'd have thunk it?" It was one of life's little mysteries, how that managed to work out. "Now ice cream pizza, that's even colder. I'm gonna have to check into finding one."

The Beast watched as Withers quietly left the party. Maybe it wasn't his kind of scene?

Fugly was full of treats and was so content he just wiggled and whined happily at no one in particular. The doggo might be overstimulated.

[Kray]

The solution to Mina's problem seemed to have a ready solution to him shrugging in his seat. "Uh. Why not start your own company then?" Take a little agency in the matter. "Hm. Dance what you want, when you want, how you want heck even add in teaching if you enjoying it." There where of course many reasons someone might not want or be able to run their own company but it was a question worth asking.

The arriving plastic cup is taken and no he doesn't seem to care much. Preferences exist sure, but picky he is not. "Hm. Thank you Sven." A moment taken to examine the contents. "Huh. No ice." was that going to be a problem? "Ha. You know how to serve brandy, that's a rare thing these days." And if he had considered the possibility of the winter poisoned the beverage well it doesn't stop him from throwing it back down his gullet in one go. So much for brandy being a drink you savour.

If the Onyx king departing was even noticed by the Ogre no comment or acknowledgement is made.

[Mina]

Smiling, "Thank you Sven! If I have a show coming up I'll let you know!" that was nice of him to say. Even if he just said it to be nice, it was still something she enjoyed hearing.

A gentle shake of her head, “I don’t need leverage, I have the skill, I just haven’t found a place I like. But thank you for the offer! I’m enjoying knowing I have the skills they want but getting to decide who I work for.” She wasn’t desperate for work, not by a long shot. And she knew she was good. But what does leverage from Circe look like?

Curious eyes watch the quite Winter leave, wondering if he had other things to do, or if socials just weren’t his thing? It was hard to tell with people you didn’t know. But she hoped he just had other things to do and wasn’t uncomfortable.

Laughing at Vincent, “So glad that pregnancy isn’t a problem!” she’d never wanted kids anyways, and becoming a Changeling had made it that much easier to avoid.

To Sonnie, “You know, could always try freeze drying the pizza and the ice cream, that takes care of the mess! I know they do it with ice cream and candies all the time. Why not try it with pizza!” she didn’t have a freeze dry machine, but was sure they could get one.

Nodding to Kray, “That’s what I’m currently doing, teaching, and I have my name out there as a solo act if anyone needs it. My own company?” a thoughtful look, “It could be a possibility someday. But I kind of like teaching right now, but, we’ll see.” Sounding upbeat. “It’s a good idea.”
