(Budding Thorns) Art Gala

[Seraphina]

She looked young, Sera just didn’t realize how young.

A musical light laugh, “Oh now you’re making me feel old.” She says with a smirk.

“I can here with my friend here,” a nod to John, “and another, Mhairi. But she isn’t a redhead. I don’t know any redheads.” What was it with this redhead?

Sounded like the girl needed a night out.

“Sounds like you have a lot going on. Ever think of just taking a night to yourself? Focusing on you and what you enjoy? Hey I know! Ever been to Funderland? It’s an amusement park and they have a ton of great things to see and do.” Maybe this girl didn’t like amusement parks, but Sera was trying. “I work there, and if you want, I can give you my number and show you around the park someday.” She wasn’t hitting on the girl, only attempting to be friendly.

My ‘not friend’? Sera will turn to where indicated.

Eyes will widen slightly, well, she was a Lost, that was for sure. But Sera didn’t know her.

Looking back to the girl, she shakes her head, “I’ve never met her*. Though she does look interesting, like someone I would get along with.”

But then the woman speaks to the girl. Sees the girl. Well, how could you not?

Sapphires move from one to another and back.

“So, I take it you two know each other?” asks the Nix.

*OOC

This scene started before Sera was introduced to Coco, which is why she claims not to know her.

[Mhairi Ankaa]

The potato follows her as she follows Coco, right to Sera, her shadow John, and the flower girl.

....who Coco immediately pokes at.

"Sera! This is Robert Page," with significant emphasis, this was the man they suspected had left those glamour infused graffiti left on the billboard right outside of Funderland, though with the presence of this girl....and she was a girl.

Mhairi looked down at Robert Page's shadow again. Was it familiar? Was it strange?

"Well, I haven't had a whole lot of time. But sure, sounds good." She pulls out her phone and taps away, putting down Sera's number.

"Wearing my... oh!" Some color comes to the girl's face. A moment later, the green fades from her hair and flowers cease to bloom around her. She glances down at herself then raises a brow to Coco.

Robert's shadow still appears completely mundane. And the man himself seems to fit the bill.

"That's him?" she asks aloud. Page's arrival changes the girl's disposition drastically. If she looked nervous before, she must have found her nerve. Pushing past the others, she storms up to Page and doesn't stop till she's uncomfortably close to his face. She doesn't scream, but her voice carries a hard edge. "Hey, asshole! Want to tell me why your art is all over town? Advertising the 'fruit'? Haven't enough people suffered?"

Page's hands throw up defensively and he takes a step back. He smiles nervously and glances around the room, noting a few pairs of eyes have drifted his way. "Easy, easy. I don't know what you're talking about. And I don't make art. I collect it."

"Yeah? Then who's handiwork is that?" she demands, pointing back at the pastel colored cat.

Potato man's eyes light up in recognition. "That's an Ericsson piece. Thomas Ericcson. You're saying you've seen it around town? It's what he does. It's street art, of a sort. Nothing wrong with that." He takes another half-step away from the fuming brunette. This time he's the one glancing over his shoulder, looking for an exit. He eyes the closest one - the main entrance - and turns on his heel to walk towards it. "Excuse me."

Robert is making a move for the door. Initiative to pursue/stop him.

And then there was a Mhairi, and Page.

But her attention was drawn back to the girl, who was agreeing to take her number.

Before she can say anything, to Page or anyone else, the girl is verbally attacking the guy!

Who knew the nervous flowering girl had it in her?! Certainly not Sera who just watched with slightly wider eyes.

Advertising ‘fruit’? So there was more to the art then what they had originally thought.

Then Page is talking, and a new name is provided, Thomas Ericcson.

And surprise surprise, Page was trying to get away.

"Hey, wait a second!" she says with an edge to her voice and moves after him.

[Mhairi Ankaa]

The flower girl takes Coco's pointed words in stride and her floral visage is replaced by her mortal mask.

"Fruit?" Mhairi echos, mind flashing. To have a Lost crying out about fruit, it had to be some variant of hedge grown fruit, but how in the hells was the potato connected to goblin fruit?

"Hey RP! What's the hurry?" she pouts, like she hadn't tried to run away from him only moments before,

Bump Cayce

[Coco]

Coco still had no idea what was going on. All that she knew was that it was strange. Down right Wyrd, actually, and that meant Them. It always meant THEM.

One way or another.

So, Coco prepared to give chase, and hoped that she wouldn't be forced to turn the potato into sliced chips...
