(1911) Autumn Nights

[Seraphina]

Beaming because her offer was accepted, “Great!” seemed she was genuinely happy he agreed. A translucent hand accepts the card and she looks it over before tucking it into a pocket in her jacket, “Thanks! I’ll give you a call as soon as I can free up an evening. I look forward to talking with you.” She was curious what his story was and what he was about.

Nodding in agreement, “I can attest to that, he is the best dog. Very valent and eager to protect those around him.” Another scratch was given to his ear, she really enjoyed Fugly.

“Now, if you’ve got an ice cream cake hidden somewhere, there might be a deal on the table.” A solemn nod, with a wink to Sonnie.

Then came a language she still didn’t understand, but Circe looked and sounded happy, so she assumed it was good. And the Si Si sounded like it could mean yes, but, she wasn’t usually a betting woman, so she kept quiet.

Sapphires look to the box, then to Rhodes, then to Circe, “An old Hollow?” what did Circe find?

She gently squeezes Rhodes arm, “Maybe a conversation better suited for Edna’s?”

[Rhodes]

Fugly's growl is met with a narrowed leer.

The Dread Lord has been watching the new girl carefully, especially when she was so flippant about being safe. Being addressed directly jolts him from his focus. The Flowering looks around as if for the first time. Reed, Markarth and Circe are given nods, as if noticing them for the first time.

"Ah, fruit? I'm not much of a horticulturalist, but I can always take a look." He gives Circe a knowing look, and Sera a smile, and takes her hand in his. "First things first perhaps. If we want to talk a little more easily, perhaps we should retire to a little place of mine." He waves an arm towards the Haunted House.

Rhodes looks around, and starts heading in that direction.

[Cei]

No mortals about, which meant Cei was once more free to don his chestplate- though this time the Hedgespun was merely that, and did not present the unnerving eyes.

The Courtless hadn't intended on being here so far in, but he'd been rather busy wandering about the city and the thorns that the whole event seemed to fall off.

But here he was, fashionably late... or, just late. "Sonnie, a pleasure! Monarchs. Circe, Reed!" A few waves, and a warm smile towards the adorable dog, before finding a place to settle down- what happened at these meetings, anyways? Short of new people introducing themselves, Cei was uncertain.Though on that note, there seemed to be a new face in the clubhouse.

[Circe]

"Cei! Nice ta get a double acknowledgement from ya," she chirps to the noob but still playing with the cute pupper.

"Sorta old sorta new, something borrowed and hey I'm blue," crimson and black look up to the golden lady with mirth. Then she pouts as someplace else is brought up. "Mi dispiace per il tuo adorabile piccolo, ma non c'è riposo per i malvagi e la tua nuova mamma sa che lo sono." This is addressed to Fuggly.

Circe stands up and retrieves the toolbox, "Yes I suppose a lil' more privacy is a priority for pontificating on precious plots placed in the park," she makes a sweeping gesture with her free hand, "Lead on the royalist of couples! I shall follow ya."

[Sonnie Wu]

"Oh, so we're moving this indoors? It is kind of chilly out here, I guess." The Beast shrugged, not minding the change of venue in the slightest.

After fishing a tootsie pop out of her candy bag, Sonnie unwrapped it and popped the business end into her mouth, the white stick jutting out between her lips. Occasionally, when she wished to speak, she would remove the sucker - with her tail.

"You found an old Hollow? That's so cool! Is it like Indiana Jones exploring a lost temple in the Amazon?"

Fugly, once Circe stopped fawning over him, let out a disappointed breath and shook himself off, then trotted over to Sonnie's side.

"Hi Cei!" She smiled and waved at the arriving Incubus.

"So, what can you tell us about yourself, Kinessa?" the Steepscrambler tried to engage the new Wizened in conversation, not wanting her to feel left out of the quickly expanding group of Lost. The result was a series of rapid-fire questions. "Where you from? What's your favorite TV show? Is your hair naturally that color or is it a dye job? Where'd you get that cool arm? Are you a cyborg? Do you like tacos?"

Slow down, Sonnie.

[Reed Mills]

Sera looks forward to spending time with him? Reed is tempted to pinch himself. This must be a dream.

He gives the Spring Monarch an uncertain smile. "Likewise. Just call whenever."

Circe's talk of a Hollow catches his attention, but he doesn't say anything just yet. Not out in the open. He follows the general movement toward Edna's, waiting until they're in a safe space to join that conversation.

Cei's greeted with a nod. "Evening, big guy," he says with a crooked grin. But his ear is trained on Sonnie's questions directed toward the new arrival, Kinessa. He can't help but be curious about his fellow Wizened.

[Seraphina]

She laughed affectionately at Rhodes reaction to the dog’s growl.

A nod as he took her hand and the began walking towards Edna’s. Wild flowers, growing with every step she took, swayed in the breeze as she walked. Their vibrant color a stark contrast to the Autumn around them. The diamond dust trailing behind her from her long hair.

It was hard not to notice Cei when he walked up, hid strapping good looks drawing the eye.
Offering a warm smile, “Hi Cei, how are you doing?”

The Treasured laughed, light and musical, at what the elf said. “You should write holiday cards.” She says with a smirk. Again, language she didn’t understand. Maybe she needed one of those translators on her cell?

When Sonnie mentions it being slightly cold, she looked down at her dress. Shrugging with a smirk to the Beast, “Not too chilly.” Just ignore three quarters of her leg being exposed.

Laughing, “Easy Sonnie, she just got here.” Sapphires look to Kinessa, “You don’t have to answer all those questions if you don’t want to.” She says with a chuckle. “But I think we’d all like to hear more about you.”

[Rhodes]

The Flowering gives Cei a small nod as the group head towards Edna's, and Circe gets a smile.

He lets the conversation flow around them, toying with words for a Vow in his head. A variant on Cei's should still work,I feel.

The comment about the cool air does draw a chuckle. "Lady Seraphina has gotten used to the frequent chills."

The Dread Lord opens the door to the Haunted House, and steps inside. "Welcome to Edna's - the Seat of the Leaden Mirror."

Rather than head through to the Hollow, Rhodes leads the party into the main hall and heads over to the fire. He spreads an arm grandly, and smiles.

[Circe]

"I think Sonny," she answer Sonnie as they head to Edna's with one hand holding the toolbox, "That the Amazon is safer. I mean there the cannibals don't have predators they run from as opposed ta the Hedge. And uh, no," Circe sags with a sigh, "More like an inheritance. It was Cole's."

Then Sonnie asks Kinessa about tacos. That gets the elf to bark out a laugh, "Tacos? Tacos! Ya know I like 'em plenty don't ya Sonny? Oh ho ho ho ho!" She bumps shoulders with the monkey giving her a wink. Circe spins to walk backwards into Edna's so she can look at Kinessa, "Sorry fer no proper intro Kinny, but cute monkey girl with a cute puppy," she waves her free hand at Sonnie and Fugly. "But totally cool arm and ya can call me Circe. And ya also get ta ask questions ta us, only fair."

Circe smirks with a giggle as Rhodes brushes off the chilliness of Sera, "Well I'm sure regular exposure ta the right Mantle helped, oh ho ho ho ho!"

As for Edna's, it gets a nod from Circe. "Rhodes? This ain't as hot as my new Hollow used ta be. Because I used," she points at him with a finger gun, "Fire ta clean it up," the blue Fairest smiles widely.

Circe steps away from the entrance to stand before Rhodes as she raises up the toolbox, "So did ya wanna check the gob fruit? I'm pretty sure it is what I think it is but I wanna be sure. Also if ya have recipes in case it tastes like cacca."

[Sonnie Wu]

The Beast led her canine companion along as she accompanied the group. Having been to Edna's a few times before, her attention was mainly on the newcomer, Kinessa. However, she reigned in her questions as her friends suggested, giving the Gameplayer a chance to answer. Instead, she reacted to what the others were saying.

"It was Cole's Hollow? I never got to see it. Did he leave his stuff behind? I call dibs on his DVD collection!" She grinned a moment, then blinked her eyes in surprises at Circe, "You... set it on fire?"

It also took Sonnie a moment to get the joke. She was thinking actual tacos, so the Summer Queen's sex puns flew over her head at first. "Oh... oooohhhh! I get it! Yeah, tacos are great! Especially with hot sauce! Wait, did that make sense?" She considered it a moment, then shrugged.

Once inside Edna's, the monkey girl took Fugly's leash off. He wasn't going to wander off, she knew. Indeed, the dog padded over to the fireplace and flopped down in from of the welcome heat.
