    The meeting room in Funderland was, well, a basic meeting office. Perfectly normal with room for presentations and adequate seating for a group. Circe had it well appointed for her current plan to get the Freehold a little more money.


    Pirates. Kids loved them, despite the unsavory true nature. And there was even a made up American holiday for talking like one. A few cheap hats and accessories would allow the staff to participate. Draw in more people, sell the cheap accessories at a mark up and they had a boom day.


    Circe even had printed up labels for the kids' drinks to look like faux rum. Probably ginger or root beer, probably the latter for taste. She was examining the results of these prints next to the real thing. Circe rubbed her chin, the long red pirate coat swishing lightly as she shifted her weight. The ginger beer bottles did look kind of like the rum bottle now, same glass color. But could she do better?


    Hopefully she could get the another monarch's opinions when they arrived. This would be great, ya and timber the shivers.

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Treasured Nix

    She was curious as to what idea Circe had. Usually they were exciting, a bit out there, but fun. So she was hoping that was the case today. With the weather starting to turn colder, it meant she could start wearing her boots. Which she loved! Skirts with boots was her go to, cause she had the legs to make them looking sexy. So she went with a cream colored wrap dress and leather boots.

    Walking into the room, she stops, observing Circe as a…pirate?

    Laughing and holding out a to go mug to the Summer, “This is certainly new!” looking at what the elf had been working on, “And I can’t wait to hear about it!” excitement creeping into her voice.

    Rhodes followed close behind, besuited as ever. "Alright Circe, what's this all... about?" The Flowering was managed to cover the stare with a slightly confused expression, but it was hard to to see all of Circe - and there was a lot to see. The Elf was attractive, that had never been in doubt, but to walk in on her in bikini and longcoat was not quite what Rhodes had expected.

    "That's... quite a look. You pull it off, certainly, but... why? What is this all about?" He thought back to the Pirate look he had tried out one Halloween. Sera had certainly enjoyed it.

    John was wondering what the meeting was about exactly, especially since in the Freehold he might be the furthest from having any sort of business acumen. Having barely two nickels to rub together himself, the clothes he showed up in only reinforced that. Thrift store pants that didn’t quite fit perfectly but well enough, at least his t-shirt could be called vintage but that still meant it was previously owned. Though for a change it wasn’t a band tee shirt, the Darkling appreciating at least a spot of irony in its design.

    He hadn’t even made it into the room before he stopped outside the door, needing a second to shake the sight before him into motion again. “Is there a Halloween party?" He looked to Rhodes and Sera, no, that wasn’t it. His head tilted to the side, eyes rolling over the room before he moved into it slowly. Circe was lithe but more toned than John, he couldn’t help but feel like a twig about to snap at the moment.

    “Good seeing everyone though. Been well I hope.” He offered with a tired smile, leaving against a chair for now hovering instead of sitting.

    Circe turns and greets, the bicorn has a pirate hello-kitty on its front, the long coat has epulets on the shoulders, the eye patch is flipped up, and the boots are pirate like. The bikini not so much.


    Circe tries to make her voice deeper and growling, "Yarr mateys! We be havin' good times, raidn' and pillagin' off the poop deck. Nay scary matey," she points at Rhodes, "Taint Hallow's Eve, but the glories that be Talk Like a Pirate's Day. Yar!" Then starts coughing, "Ugh, guy voices are a bitch ta do. Ahem, this is Funderland rather then club business."


    She points to the rolling poster board, covered in displays for September 19, Talk Like a Pirate Day, and Funderland. "Kids like pirates. Disney pirates not real deal. So," she spreads her arms, "Dress up, talk like 'em, and Funderland gets more moneys. The costumes and accessories will be cheap and markup sales ta make it back." She pauses to flap the long coat, "Wool is kinda hot and heavy though, yesh." Circe's skin does look sweaty, "Aaand I made me own outfit ta show off how the staff can dress fer the day and all. Totally pirate, uh," she filps down the eye patch, "Very scallywag, yar."


    The fact that they're staring might has gone unnoticed by Circe might mean that she has been sweating for quite a bit of time. "Just seems like good business ta me. Suggestion welcom, Oh! Nice boots Sera, and coffee! Golden jem of joy ya are!" Circe takes the mug Seraphina offers and starts drinking it, greedily so.

    There was a smirk as she looked to Rhodes.

    “I, for one, love the look! Very similar to a Halloween costume I have.” Walking over to Circe and eyeing the costume, not bashful about it. “But damn Circe, you look amazing in it!” she had to compliment the Summer.

    While it would normally be easy to over look John, there was only four of them here. Smiling, “Hey John!” she greets, “How have you been?” at his question, “Not yet, seems a bit early for one, but there will be one!” it was her favorite holiday!

    An eyebrow arches as Circe begins to talk like… a pirate?

    Smirking, she listens, nodding here and there.

    Posing her legs for Circe, “Thank you! I love boots.” She had a closet of them. “But I’m game! I love dressing up!” her voice eager.

    “People do love themed events.” She says, “And could sweeten the idea by giving discounts on tickets for those who show up dressed like a pirate. Or maybe even a free drink if they’re dressed like pirates. Because once you get them here, they’ll spend more money anyways. So something free or discounted is just incentive.” A shrug, “Maybe even host a treasure hunt of sorts for kids. Little cheap trinkets they can find around the park.” Sera could take an idea and run with it.

    Rhodes inclines his head. It was good to see John. It did remind him of something he had been meaning to do. "Very well. And yourself?" he replied to the Darking.

    The Autumn King seems torn between not knowing what to do and laughter. "Well, anything that helps Funderland, I suppose."

    There's a small smile. Give Sera the vaguest idea and she could give you a whole show in five minutes - an hour and she'd have an event. She was so creative. "Sounds like a plan. Do you need anything from the rest of us?"

    John offered a small dip of his head to Sera and Rhodes and began to speak when Circe turned around, so the coat and hat was one thing but the rest of the outfit had rendered him speechless. It was quite a surprise and he knew the Summer Queen was fit but he couldn't help but feel small. He cleared his throat and sat back in his seat. "Oh, I've been trying to find a way to balance everything. Sure you understand." The last bit was open but he'd been looking at Rhodes when he said it. Academic pursuits took time and a lot of juggling.


    John wasn't money motivated but he couldn't help but be inspired by the thoughts of children swashbuckling through the park filling it with their laughter. Maybe the Spring Queen was rubbing off on him. He cracked a small smile and nodded. "Could add in shows too, the Colonel is good with a blade but is he good with children? Cause we could set up short shows that end with a child from the audience coming up to save the day and vanquish the pirate captain.


    "If you want I could dress up piratey but mystical and do cold readings, I mean, fortune telling too. " He nodded along with Sera's idea. "Excellent idea, more people in the doors then. The 19th is a Sunday, why don't we make it a weekend long affair to increase foot traffic?"

    Circe has finished off the coffee. "Better! Hiya Johnny, cazzo lovin' that shirt. Oh! Ya will hafta learn ta talk like a pirate ta pull off the costume though. Oh, and sea shanties too!" She assures Seraphina. And that was a good idea from Sera. Generally speaking, Circe operated her job in a sellers market. She knew the principles of marketing and sales but didn't really need them for her work. "X marks cazzo the spot is the classic pirate thing right? That'd work out great. Keep the kids running they'll get hungry or thirsty. Maybe see if any courtiers want ta make, uh, proper pirate hats in kid size. As a special prize."


    That'd keep parents from complaining about it being all cheap stuff to drum up sales. Have a few grand prizes that were not cheap. Circe turns towards Rhodes, unsure if the question was to her or Sera. Circe's coat is very swishy and her scabbard hits the table with a solid thump before she adjusts it. And has to adjust some more, the scabbard's contents clearly have weight, "Bodies Rhodes. Though maybe someone ta train the mundy staff ta go yar and timber me shivers. Oh, an the treasure. Knick-knacks, vouchers, blank flintlocks? Gold coins? Faux rum?"


    Circe gleefully smiles, then waves with both her arms to the furniture where she'd been fiddling earlier. There are several bottles on the table with logos on them the resemble Captain Morgan's label. Well, one isn't a copy, the rest are re-labeled molasses soda. "Pirates and their rum, right?"


    Circe turns next upon John, to speak for the Colonel's favor. Her mouth open. Then closes. "Uhhh, I don't know if he is or isn't. Know he can kick ass," she shrugs. "We could also doll up water guns ta look like cazzo old cannons fer that too." That was something more up her alley. It also made her snap her fingers, "That'd be a great reason ta wear a swimsuit with the wool coats!"


    As for John's talk of palm readings and extra time? "Cazzo brilliant John! Glad ya can summon the spirits fer the fun times!" She leans forward with a smirk as she raises her free left hand for a exaggerated stage whisper. The whisper hand might not be everyone's focus given her attire, "Just no real spirits. That'd be fer Halloween."

    Was she surprised Rhodes was going along with this? Oh yeah. Would she have tried to talk him into if she had to? Yup.

    “I suppose what would be needed are ideas that we can make happen. I can only do so much. But if we need decorations, I have a storage unit filled with them! But I’d have to see if I had anything with a pirate theme.” She looked thoughtful for a moment.

    Then an understanding nod to John, “That can always be tricky.” And it would always be a struggle.

    “Oh! Now that’s a great idea John! Maybe we could even have a pirate sing a long or something as well, add some comedy into it.” It would require research; she didn’t know much about pirate songs.

    “I’ve always seen fortune telling tents at fairs filled with people! That sounds awesome!”
    then an eager nod, “Yes! A whole weekend!” each day a different show.

    Laughing, she looks to Circe, “I’m sure I can find some sea shanties online, kid friendly ones, ones that are easy and can allow for audience participation.” A hand slips into her bag and pulls out a piece of paper and pen, notes were quickly written down. “If no one is able to make the hats, I might be able to. I don’t think they’d be that difficult, and I know have a ton of fabric.” Like, a TON. “So if someone else can, I can provide the fabric.” Or whatever.

    “Vouchers would be great, everything from a free drink or burger to a free ticket. And you can buy cheap fake gold coins at party stores. Throw them into little leather pouches, and they look like treasure.” Well, maybe with a few things added.

    “Oh!” idea, “Building off that water gun idea Circe, you could have the kids against the pirates or something. Like set it up like you would for laser tag, and have people totally play into the kids getting them with water guns or something. And maybe the kids can win chocolate gold coins!” those would be a hit. "But I'm definitely down for bathing suit under the coat!"
