(2003) Spring Equinox

[Sonnie Wu]

Sonnie stared at the sock in her hands, then sniffed it. "Cute sock! This will help! Thanks, Yamiyo!" She set the used sock down in a corner of the main room. The bait pile had begun. Soon, the elusive whispering ghost would not be able to resist!

"E-Bay! Of course!" She nodded to Circe, "I should check their for hedgespinning ingredients. Anyway, nice work!"

The simian Beast looked about, "Okay, so how many is that for limbo now? Sera, Yami and Titania? Who else?"

[Yamiyo Lillich]

Jumping up on the table, kneeling down to get to an equal height with the ice beauty.
"That is truly sad, no one deserves to be hidden."
Softly kissing her cheek, gently smiling towards her.
"If you ever feel like you want to be seen ask me out for a date and I promise you that my intention will be all on you."

Jumping down from the table and skipping away
"Unless you take me to a movie of course."

Looking at the adorable monkey girl placing her sock in the corner, feeling bad, jumping up with her behind on another table, taking of her other sock before placing her shoe back on, skipping over and placing them together, not even a sock deserved to be alone before skipping away.

[Rhodes]

The limbo and the conversations were continuing. It was a busy party.

Still, there were only a few ladies that held his attention.

"Darling, you know I detest paperwork," Rhodes replied to Sera with a chuckle. "But at least I know the pledging of new members is in good hands." He was quietly proud of her. And his work, of course.

An eyebrow is arches toward Circe. "I hope you aren't planning on making this Freehold a police state just to watch people's romantic interactions, Circe. I think four minutes to go mad with power might be some kind of record," he smirks.

Bugul is given a nod as he heads out. The Beast was of few words, but watched all.

"Oh, while I remember, there has been quite a few disturbances across the skein in the Sacramento Dreaming. If anyone wants any pointers on Oneiromancy, please let me know and I can run another class." The Dread Lord says generally to those around him. He sips his scotch and watches the springs as they prance around.

[Angel]

Such a risky move, and without a even a triple-dog dare, "Careful where you put your lips, lest they get stuck." Angel winks as the succubus flits away. A dandelion seed, where will it find soil to plant root in?

Icy eyes fall on to the fellow winter, James, briefly. Then flit away to take in the rest of the Lost. A crafter with puns! What a truly delightful, complex group. Angel smiles contentedly.

[James Turner]

"If you'll excuse me..."


He didn't say it to anyone in particular but the group as a whole as he saw Yamiyo retreat from the other Winter. He walked over to her drink in his hand before he motioned silently to one of the seats , his body angled so he could see her and in his peripherals at least keep tabs on the bar.


"Names John."

He said with an offered free hand but no expectations attached to it.

[Angel]

The offered hand is daintily accepted, as Angel extends her own, palm down.

"Angel, how long have you been here John?"


​

[Anatole]

Anatole watches the scene silently, nursing his glass.

[Saber Sloth]

One week left! Better start winding down

[Circe]

"Thank ya Sonny. Ya'd be amazed what ya can find on it," Circe laughs, "Dark web more so but I suggest ya stay away from that without me," especially since Circe helped weave said dark web. She then laughs at Rhodes, "Oh ho ho ho ho! Rhodes yer so silly. Four minutes ta make a date peeper police state, oh ho ho ho. The record was like 30 seconds, Skywalker ya know? Plus," she perks up and stops to sip her monstrous beverage, "A police state requires secret police and a fascist army."

She waggles her finger in the negative, "I don't have those or we'd have a lot less threats Thorn side. A LOT less. I don't have the funds ta make either right now," she sips her drink, "Also I'd just call them yer bodyguards and I'd get the date details from their reports. Which would lead ta paperwork which would turn me off the whole thing," she makes an X with her arms. "So I won't bother with the secret police."

The joke wasn't a beaten dead horse, it was more like glue. As for dreaming that gets a shake in the negative from Circe, "I prefer more physical conflict Director dude."

Bugul gets a salute upon his departure. Circe starts to head for the bar before spinning to seek out Titania, "Sup T?! How ya doin' tonight?" Circe walks up to her jovial as usual. The energy drink was working, "Oh and," she motions for Titania to come in closer, "I must warn ya. When this drink wears off I might just collaspe and sleep on the floor, so don't freak out."

[James Turner]

His hand was cold but not clamy, grip firm but not crushing. He took a seat next to her looking out at everyone else as he brought the amber liquid up to his lips taking a sip with a sigh. Glad to be away from the oppressive weight of the crowd.


"'Bout a month longer than you give or take. Seems like we're it as far as I know. Now's not the time or place but we should probably talk. Until then..."


He left the rest of the words hang as they watched the limbo contest, watching the people mill about. Wistful, he was almost wistful as they seemed to smile and laugh. He didn't think he'd ever feel like anything but apart.
