Motley Mixer

[Circe]

Circe didn't comment on New York. Jersey was better hands down. She looked over to Seraphina, "Yeah Johnny is rockin' the beard."

Nana's skill set she could certainly see being used in the underworld. Sadly she didn't have the contacts to help set that up. Gunbunny Smurfette was the one they contacted to get the things to make new patients. "That," she is focused on Nana, "Is good business policy Nana. Especially for that kinda client. If the cash is there ya do not care," laughter escaped blue lips, "Sad ta say I've dealt with the stupider ones from time ta time. They usually learn their lesson."

The elf grimaced as a frown crossed her face, "Don't like no ghosts. Rather deal with something easier ta hit." Rhodes talk on dream manipulation got a cheer from Circe, "Like eatin' the worlds biggest cake and not gettin' fat!" as an example of how to manipulate dreams. And the new face was talking, "Aw thank ya Peter. I do know my way around a unfair fight. And how to load up for 'em. If ya want it ta bleed, I can get what ya need. Oh that's a good one," she nods to herself, "Fun. Alcohol is usually involved in the fun but that'd prooooooobably have been, ya know, BAD," both eyebrows shot up, "with the carousal. Trolling mortals is fun too."

[Quick]

"Yeah. It was fun. Had some drinks, some laughs. All that." he answers Rhodes.

Quick gives John a once over. The beard look is... new. Right? "John."

"Personal interests, huh? What, like... cardio and clubbing?" The Elemental smirks at Blink. The way the conversation starts spinning out, though? A little deeper than that.

Quick shakes his head at Circe's antics, but a little laugh escapes him. "Looks that way."

And with Sera's cheerful greeting, Quick really can't help but be in good spirits. It's the thing to do. At least... at this kind of gathering.

He takes a moment to chew over each of the topics. In his case? About everything everyone else is interested in is a personal weakness. "Guess I'm not as deep as everyone else. Don't really spend much time in other people's dreams. And ghosts? No thanks. Pretty much only thing I'm good at is what, uh, Circe said. Unfair fights. But I guess for me it's fists. Or fire." He shakes his head, a little self-deprecatingly. Than realizes how dumb that is. "Pretty damn good at it, though. Used to lots of other... dishonest stuff too."

He spares John another look. The little talk about Sun Banishers comes to mind. John seems like a trained professional when it comes to cloak and dagger stuff. Quick is more... impulse? "Always wanted to know how to use all that for the Freehold."

[Rhodes]

The Fairest nods in agreement to Peter's sentiment. "My schedule seems to be rapidly filling, but I will definately make the time. We should make an evening of it."

Rhodes nods animatedly to Circe's statement on cake, point towards the Summer Queen. "Exactly! Queen Circe... You've not been looking in on my dreams, have you?" He tops the lighthearted comment off with a charming smile and a chuckle. "But if people wanted to learn a little more about manipulating dreams, I'd be happy to put something together. We'd just need a space large enough to host everyone to do so. Anyone interested?"

Quick's comments about himself have Rhodes nodding. "Every freehold needs fighters - there are just as many physical dangers to us as spiritual or magical. It's certainly not a knack I learned." He shrugs.

Another message. He pulls out the phone.

Text to John

Sooner than later then. I'm free *date*. *Time* okay?

ErlangShen Private thread for day or two after?

As he taps the reply, Blink's announcement sees Rhodes turn pensive. "Now that's an idea," he says thoughtfully. "It would need work, obviously. People to keep pitching in... But many hands make light work. I would certainly be interested in a project that brings such a mutual benefit."

Only a shame I didn't think of it myself, actually. People are quick with ideas here. Well, as long as the momentum holds...

[Seraphina]

She had to admit, Nana was more friendly than she would have guessed. Looks were certainly deceiving.

“Wow, that’s neat. Not the twin thing and the setbacks, but that you have experience in medicine. That is something that is useful everywhere! Do you enjoy it?”

The question about the Hedge and her interest. “I’d actually like to see more of it and expand my knowledge. Which is slim right now.”

A smirk formed, “Well, depends on your definition of fun.” Which could be taken a variety of ways. “But Sacramento has a ton of things, just need to know what interests you. Me personally? When I’m not working I’m at the gym, or reading. Sometimes out at the clubs,” shrugging, “depends.” On her mood and what she felt like doing.

As the topic of Ghost kept coming up, “I think they’re creepy too. But, well, kinda interesting too you know? Like, I don’t understand anything about them and I’m kind of curious.” Why be scared of them if you didn’t understand them?

Looking to Quick, “Been in others dreams and it’s a trip.” True story. “But it’s also exciting.” She wished she’d spent more time learning about it. Maybe she still could. “And don’t sell yourself short there Quick, you’re pretty bad ass in the ring.” Though she was sure he was holding back on her sometimes.

Blink has an idea. Sapphires turn to look at their host, curious.

A Funderland side of the Hedge?

She could see the benefits of it. “I could see that working. Perhaps more neutral ground than imposing on a Courts area.” Hands were then held up with a musical laugh, “Not that anyone has ever imposed on Spring, just so we’re clear. I just think that maybe something we’ve all put a little time and effort into will bring us together more.” That probably still came out wrong, “Ok, I think that sounded better in my head than coming out of my mouth. Ignore me!” oh well.

Smiling to John, “Hell yeah.” She was a little jealous that he got to change his face. Sometimes she wished she could, just to see what it was like to be someone else.

[Circe]

"Woo! Sucker punch for the win Quick," she laughs. The laughter continues as John becomes a cowboy, "Yeeeeehaa! Beardy Cowboy and Gunbunny Smurfette are gonna," the phone interrupts the fun, "Whoops, ya got booty call?"

She then leans back to look at Rhodes. It is an odd angle leaving her head perpendicular to him, "Not the cakes. And yer naughty ones demanded a cover charge, that is rather selfish of ya, tsk tsk tsk," and rights herself. That was murder on the neck.

Circe blinks as Blink suggest a Hedge adventure. Circe had seen what was on the other side of the tunnels, as had Quick and Seraphina. She shoots the two of them a look, trying to non verbally ask if they should warn the new arrivals about the last surviving cannibal. Circe couldn't say no due to danger as she was the Summer Queen. The Iron Spear was meant to face such dangers head on.

Oh wait, she was talking about a neutral Hollow?

"Well Blink, a rip roarin' adventure is what your words first made me think," she shrugged, "Neutral turf would bein' the main Hollow would help clean up after parties. And maybe stop Bay level rivalry bullshit," her tone soured as at the last one. "Eh, don't mind me. But Blink? If yer thinkin' we're gonna check it out like now now," Circe jerks a thumb over her shoulder, "I'm gonna need ta get stuff from my car."
