Winter Chilling

Jun 16th, 2016 06:45 PM

The Blue Note was generally a normal temperature for the public, however, because the Courtiers would gather, L'aire didn't mind chilling it a little more than usual. Their Court may have been small, but they were not small by any means. Each of them had vastly different personalities that worked well together, including the new woman.

Besides, it made an even better excuse to have a mini cappuccino bar up with liquor to mix if anyone chose to do so. Truth be told, she was a teensy bit excited since it was her first official meeting as the Onyx Sovereign. She wasn't nervous though, and wondered if she should be as the Fairest began the brewing of the coffee. Yet, she knew these Changelings. They were the reason she stayed and the reason she was proud to be their Queen.

L'aire's Outfit

Green appears, squeezing his huge frame through the door with ponderous tread. Tonight he is waring light slacks in concession to the heat; scruffy old work boots with their leather soft and pliant adorn his feet; a chequered shirt covers his hulking torso.

Once inside the mountains sniffs the cooler air with a sense of satisfaction. The movement represented only a slight pause as he continued his steadfast march to the bar.

"Hey," the Elemental said, inclining his big head respectfully. "Good to see you, yeah. Uh. You got a beer?"

That perhaps he should comment his Queen on her attire as part of his greeting seemed to have slipped his mind.

Daniel was dressed a little warmly for but he knew how cold the jazz club could be sometimes. He had on a dark quilted jacket, grey shirt underneath, and black jeans.And the Gravewight was glad he had on what he had as he entered, since it was probably the only thing keeping him from being chilly.

Green and L'aire were already arrived and Daniel made his way to the bar where it looked like they were already engaging in the Freehold's favorite pass time. He approached with a smile, yet there was a touch of sadness to it. Everyone deals with things their own way.

"Hey guys," he said as he looked around the club. The posting had said the meeting was private but Daniel made sure there were no other people around.

This was the first time Evelynn had come to the Blue Note in the summer. She knew it was always cold there, but that just made dressing for the occasion that much more difficult - how does one avoid melting outside while simultaneously not freezing in the bar?

So she went with a compromise - a lighter material, but long sleeves, and a scarf packed in her bag to wear once she got inside. Besides, it was nice to have an excuse to wear it, since she avoided this particular outfit in the winter. She felt it made her look like a candy-cane.

Hurrying inside, Evelynn paused at the door to get a sense of the air. Oh yes, she was glad she brought the scarf. Pulling it out of her bag to let it drape loosely around her shoulders, she spotted the gathering and the bar and approached with a bright smile. "Hi guys! Oh, L'aire, I like your shirt!"

L’aire had come to expect certain reactions from Elementals. Green’s entrance didn’t surprise her in the least. “Hello Green.” She grinned as the tall mountain entered. “Sure, there’s whatever is on tap, or bottles in the cooler. Help yourself.”

“Heya Daniel.” Smiling at his arrival as well. “Feel free to help yourself for something to drink for the bar. Or, there’s hot cappuccino.” She moved to go pour herself a cup, taking a mug from the set of four next to the machine.

And then, the new Onyx came to add to the trio. She was very glad for Evelynn’s decision, yet a bit saddened as well. Their Court was not an easy one to deal with, in her opinion which reflected on their numbers. “Hello, and thanks Evelynn.” As the Wizened pulled her scarf around here, the Fairest chuckled. “Um, is it too cold in here?” L’aire truly hadn’t noticed, the cold was part of her, more now than ever before. “I can turn off the air conditioner or turn it down if anyone wants.”

Sometimes the Onyx forgot that perhaps not all Winters enjoyed the chill. "Your dress is really cute, Evelynn." Wondering if the guys would end up annoyed by the fawning over clothing. Other than Katrin, it was she among the males for quite some time.

"I'll grab me a beer, then." Green intoned as he commandeered a pitcher and filled it with his choice of foaming ale.

A nod to Daniel. "Hey. Yeah. Good to see you."

"Huh? Hey? Yeah.... uh... Evelyn." The mountain paused while he collected a stool. Eyes narrowed as he carefully scrutinised the new Courtier. Till he discerned the moments of silence that seemed to bubble lazily around her. At which point, he nodded and sat down.

"So? This is us, yeah?"

“Cappuccino sounds good,” he said. The Darkling might have preferred straight coffee but he wasn’t about to turn down caffeine.

“No, the temperatures fine,” he added with a slight smile of amusement. It was funny sometimes how people asked if you needed the heat turned up when you were already dressed for the cold. Though, how L’aire wore a dress like that without feeling the cold was still pretty impressive. Of course, with her powerful mantle, she was probably used to feeling like she lived in a fridge.

He gave a simple but friendly nod to Green as Evelynn and L’aire talked about clothes. The Darkling unfortunately had very little to add to that part of the conversation. Fashion had never been one of his strengths. As evidenced by a closet full of almost nothing but blacks, greys, and whites.

“This is us,” he confirmed with the warmth of certainty.

“So what’s up?” he asked when there was a pause. He assumed there was a purpose to the meeting. Or maybe the Fairest was just looking to keep a pulse on the Court. They had just gotten a new member.

**Evelynn East** · Jun 21st, 2016 08:32 PM

Evelynn blushed when L'aire seemed to respond to her scarf by asking if she wanted the AC turned down. "Oh! Oh no, that's okay. I'm comfy!" And she was - the scarf made it just perfect.

L'aire offered them some drinks, and Evelynn found herself piping up before she could quite stop herself. "Hm. They say alcohol is good for ideas, and caffeine is good for pursuing those ideas. So, um, I guess it depends on what we're doing?" She paused, then, blushing when she realized maybe this was just a social call. Not everything had to be work. "O-or, um, maybe a cappuccino might be nice to keep my fingers warm..."

Oddly enough, the compliment on hr dress took the little Wizened off-guard. She giggled. "Really? I feel like a candy cane!" she exclaimed. Once her brain caught up with her mouth, she had to blush - again - because she was being rude. "Oh. I mean, thanks."

The others both asked what the purpose of the meeting was, in their own way, so Evelynn decided it would be silly for her to add her own voice when she'd just be asking the same question. So instead, she simply looked at L'aire with wide, curious eyes, wondering what to expect. After all, she was new to this whole Winter thing.

Satisfied that the snap of cold didn’t bother any of them, L’aire poured a mug of hot liquid and took a seat at a medium round table. She’d partially turned to still speak to them and waved her hand to the table should they like to be seated.

“No, you don’t look like a candy cane Evelynn.” She grinned and took a slow sip of the cappuccino. “But now that you say that, we’ll call the dress ‘Christmas in July?’”

The Dancer had never ran a meeting like this, she was thankfully there were only four of them. “This is indeed us. I like ‘us’. There was only one time long ago when I arrived that there was more than six winters at a time. I think there may have been eight or nine at that first gathering, but they didn’t stay around long.”

Shaking her head to Daniel. “Nothing is really up. Other than our new Onyx.” Turning with a gleaming smile to Evelynn. “Have you had an opportunity to speak to Daniel and Malcolm yet?” Nodding to each in order she named.

**Malcolm Green** · Jun 24th, 2016 11:58 PM

Green shook his head.

"Uh. Yeah. We ain't done too much talking since we went Hollow hunting," he admitted. He took a careful mouthful of beer. "Anyway. Since you're in I can tell you that I'm Armiger. Uh... Thats if you have any questions, yeah..."

The stool squeaked as the mountain shifted his weight.

"What about the rest of you? You need an Armiger for anything? You know... picked up any odd rumours or seen something you need looking into?" He addressed Daniel and L'aire more than Evelyn; the weight of his state landed briefly on his Queen: an offer, a question, an expectation.
