Charity Night and Coffee!

[Rhodes]

Thew Autumn King sighs happily and wraps his fingers around Sera's. "You'll have to get around to explaining that some time. I really don't see the difference."

He gives Mable and Sonnie a surprised look. "Tiny but mighty? And a kung fu master? Very reassuring. But I think you both misunderstand me. It's really not you I feel worried for, but anyone who crosses your path. I'm sure anyone that suffers your collective wraths will be most deserving of punishment. Just... try to leave some of the city standing behind you, please?"

Giving the dresses away to help others? It would be so easy to needle Sera then. But the Flowering doesn't, and settles for squeezing her hand reassuringly. Trapping his love between her Closet and her Kindness was going to be choice enough, though he suspected he knew which would win out. In the end, Seraphina would throw herself on any fire to help another. It was her way.

Rhodes chuckles as his changeling friends plead for emergency bail. "I suppose, it would be the gentlemanly thing to do. But if I am not a gentleman, I wouldn't be bound by such formalities, would I? Such a dilemma. I'll try to set something up to make sure I get all three of you, but depending on how much trouble you're in I may need a little loan." He grins at the monkey Beast. "I'm sure a kung-fu master can take care of herself in the cells, hmm?"

[Seraphina]

“Then invite her too! I love meeting new people.” It was true, she was a true social butterfly.

“So does this mean Sonnie and I have a job when we go out dancing? Find all the eligible single people for you?” she asks, “Because if so, I believe we need to know your type.” It would help, and she could totally play wing woman!

“That’s right! I almost forgot, we talked about training sometime together! Did you still want to do that? Cause if so, I’m still game too.” She says with a nod.

“Great! I love volunteering.” Though she knew her fellow Lost would already know that.

Laughing, “Of course. I’m always game for sharing clothes!” she never got to do it as a kid, so now? It was exciting! “Well, it’s always an option. Though most are evening gowns that I don’t think many would be comfortable wearing.” Some didn’t seem to share her love for showing skin. “But I’m sure I have some more appropriate clothes, dress pants and the like. I can take a look.” If it was for charity, she might be ok with it.

Wait, a racoon? And she had to laugh.

“I should be taking lessons from you Sonnie. We should set something up.” A nod. Seeing how easily the Beast was distracted by food, she giggled. Then shook her head, “On the house, for that fine performance on the stage.” She added with a wink.

“Great! We can go hair and makeup as well!” her mind already working on ideas for the others.

“And hey! I can fight too!” she says, making sure they didn’t forget.

Smirking, “I’ll explain it to you over dinner.” Not that she expected him to see the difference, but she could try.

A pout, “Fine. But how much? Ten percent? Thirty percent? We need to know what we’re working with here.” Numbers needed to be known.

The squeeze was returned with a shy smile.

“A gentlemanly thing to do? Yes. Though I highly doubt you would leave me in there. Add to that knowing I would not leave my friends behind, and we have you set to bail us out.” A proud nod. “Hmmm, that could be an issue. Though maybe I can charm our way out.” She looks to the others, “I can be quite charming when I need to be. I think I could get us out.”

[Mable Wood]

Oh dear goddess, Mable thought, they are serious about setting me up. Before she panicked she breathed in and out then smiled, "Set me up? My type? Ummm, No assholes? is that a good start? Living and breathing?" Sort of but not necessary. "Seriously, I like ambition but not arrogance. Other then that, not sure."

[Sonnie Wu]

Sonnie nodded to Rhodes, "True. And don't worry, we'll try to keep our crimes to misdemeanors. If we get into felony territory, we may be beyond bail, anyway."

To Seraphina, she smiled, "I agree. Everyone should be taking lessons from me! The world would be such a cooler place!" Laughing, she scooped he rloose change back into a pocket, "You spoil me, Sera!"

"Oh, that's right! You said you took lessons in, um, something. Was it kickboxing? Krav maga? Did you even tell me, or is my memory failing me again? Shoot."

She looked to Mable, thoughtful, then grinned, "How do you feel about open shirts and gold chains on a guy?"

[Fawkes]

Fawkes quietly slips into the bustling event, wearing jeans and a simple black tank-top in the approaching summer heat. He spies the gathered Lost and the blonde woman he's seen around a couple of times; likely one of Sera's mundane friends. The mannequin eyes the patrons in an automatic sweep before approaching their social circle, giving a small wave.

"Figured I should make up for vanishing last time," he said, offering a shy smile before it vanished. It was a marked change. The man was expressing himself as the subtle hairline cracks now riddling his form shifted to accommodate, rather than breaking further. Whether he was referring to the Karaoke night were he left with John or Sera's pool party wasn't clear. He held off on proper greetings, not knowing if Sonnie or Rhodes went by different names among the mortals. He tucked his hands in his pockets as he palmed the marble, out of his element with the loud crowd. "Hi Mable. Long time no see."

[Rhodes]

The Autumn Flowering grins. "Dinner witha beautiful lady? How could I resist."

Another chuckle. "As much as possible, Seraphina. Ideally anywhere we make a living should be standing."

Rhodes leers, but is smiling. Her logic is sound. "If you can charm your way out, I think my wallet will thank you. Or this night may get very expensive for me."

The girls plot what kind of guy to find for Mable - it seems like Sonnie may be out of luck in her probing. He does chuckle at the Monkey-girl and her comment. "Can I count on you to reign things in, Sonnie? Or do I need to assign a responsible adult to you three?"

The arrival of Fawkes surprises him, though nothing shows on the face. He inclines his head to the manakin, not wanting to assume names before the Summer spoke.

[Seraphina]

“Not sure I would call it setting up, but more knowing what you look for. So if we see someone in the club, we can play wing woman for you!” girls totally did that for each other! “Or save you if you creep is bugging you.” A nod. “Well, some guys you can’t really tell are assholes until it’s too late. And you haven’t given us much to go on. Everyone has a type, we need more info.” Tall, short? Guy, girl?

Smirking to Sonnie, “Nah, we’d be good. And they’re only felonies if we get caught.” She says with a wink.

“Just let me know when you’ll be offering the lessons and I’ll bring the coffee and cookies!” she laughs as well. Smiling, “You’re my friend! Of course I do!” wasn’t that obvious?

“Kung Fu, we talked about at the movie night. But don’t worry, we talked about a lot that night. I’ve actually been training more in the basics lately, building myself up to be more efficient.” And not end up in the hospital again.

Eyes widen and she shakes her head, “Mable, please say no. Because if not, we’re going to have sit down for a serious talk.”

Then a familiar metallic scent tickles her nose. Looking, she spots Fawkes, and waves back.

Smiling, “Hey! Good to see you! Want some coffee?” she asks, before shaking her head, “No worries, it’s all good. How’ve you been?” it was always good to see him. Wait, was that a smile? Without cracks? Well good for him! She wanted to say something, but wasn’t sure how to phrase it.

Grinning to Rhodes, “Easy, you can’t.” giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

“Hmmm, well, if that’s the case ladies, we might want to plan carefully.” A nod to the others. “Now I’m kind of curious if I could charm my way out.” Maybe it’d be more charming her way out of getting arrested?

Sapphires widen, “Assign us an adult?! I think we’re quite capable of taking care of ourselves.” She narrows her eyes at him.

[Mable Wood]

Mable looked at Sonnie in mock horrified drama, "Open shirts and chains?" she giggled.

Then the cute shirtless guy from the laundry mat. Mable couldn't help but think about him without his shirt. She suddenly remembered to breath. She tried to remember what girls do when men walk up to them and touched her hair. "Hi," shit she didn't remember his name. Gods she was lame.

She decided to focus on the others, "Rhodes, we so need an adult but then that wouldn't be as fun."

"Seriously not sure I have a type. How about we figure out a signal like thumbs up or thumbs down? Or I could tug on an ear if I need saving? OOOOR we could just dance."

[Abyssalstar]

oops, wrong account!

[Sonnie Wu]

Swirling the remains of the coffee in her cup, Sonnie nodded to Rhodes, one adult to another. "Of course. I'll keep these troublemakers in line."

Smiling to Seraphina, "Now you're cooking! We're really gonna Thelma and Louise this thing! Outrun the cops, find Mable a hot guy or girl or nonbinary person. Maybe rob a bank. Just your typical girls night." She laughed, "What are friends for, but to spoil one another rotten?"

She waved at the arrival of the Elemental, "Hey, dude! Sup?"

Then she eyed Mable's reactions to Fawkes' presence, raising an eyebrow.

Oh, ho! What's this?

She's hot for the glass guy? Not bad. But boy, does her flirting suck.

That's what wingmonkeys are for!

She grinned at the vampiress, "So you two know each other? And... sorry, are open shirts and chains out of fashion now?" She motioned to Mable with an ear tug followed by a tap to her chin with and eyebrow wiggle. What the hell was she trying to signal?
