Sacramento Fall Festival!

[Rlyeh]

In a word. Overwhelmed. But. In a good way. "Yes-hello-yes-I'm Riley-yes." bubbles out as she waves at all the new faces. Hers flushing when Sera-Queen compliments her. did she really mean that or was it just words? "Thank you Sarah-Yes," she cuts herself off before she can add the reflexive 'Queen'.

"You are all dressed very nicely too." she adds, meaning it. As she pauses to think, oh! "Yes, thank you Talia. Joined the club. We should - " looking to catch Circe's eye " - plan an us day. To get to know each other...?" she says, but the end trails off like a question.

She shivers, as Jenna speaks, but she's seen-heard worse she is worse, and keeps her smile. "Sir Fugly the Brave is the most handsome of boys." she can't help but chime in. Trying. Hoping. Well. Trying anyway.

[Talia]

"I am always down for a pow wow." Talia smiled, there was more she wanted to say. But in present company it was not a good idea. Talia looked at Jenna and Conner "Jenna, Conner... seems the group is in agreement". Talia stood up and stopped fussing with Sir Fugly. She would get a dog, but she was more of a spider girl and they were not generally socially accepted at functions. She continued to look towards the two people she didn't know. There was something about them. Something.... creepy only she couldn't put her finger on it. Would she want to put her finger on it? Probably not.

Great Talia, you invite the village psychos to join the group. If this night ends up us getting hunted in a maze the group is never going to trust your judgement again. But yet again... I pity anyone who try's to hunt Circe.

[Seraphina]

Catching the sad face, and ear droop, “How about this? If you promise to behave tonight, I’ll buy you a drink and some candy.” A wink added. It was really the ear droop that got her.

A nod as she listened to Rlyeh, “He has many brave tales to tell.” But some could be left out.

To Talia, “Then lets have some fun!” cause standing around outside the place with food, drink and spooky things was not fun.

“Do we want to get scared first?” she asks with a smirk, trying to make her voice spooky, failing, but she was trying, “Or stuff ourselves with whatever delicious food they have?” pausing, “Or get drinks and see where those take us? We have endless possibilities and the night is young!”

[Jennifer Hazelton]

"What a lovely dog. I can tell he's loved very much." She directs this last to Fugly's owner.
Jennifer keeps an eye on the dog. Some were fine. Yet some didn't like her sort at all. She kept back from Talia and the pup.

Her attention turned to the woman asking what activity that they would be doing.
"Getting scared sounds like the best idea. That's my vote"

She suggested, walking slowly towards the woman. Watching the dog out of her peripheral vision.

[Connor OBrien]

"I suppose you could say you wore a dress." He said to Mary with a bit of a laugh. In reality he would have equated her Nexus attire to be more akin to beachwear, but who was he to judge women's fashion?

"Sarah, Talia, Sonnie, Riley, and Jenna." He said with a bright smile and a nod to each woman in turn. "Wonderful to meet you all."

Then the questions came from Sarah. "I already have a drink." He said, hoisting his beer up slightly before taking a drink to accentuate the point; all the while willing his blood to allow him to hold the alcohol down for an extended period of time. "So I'm down for whatever. I'm sure anything will be fun with some new friends." He finished with a wink.

[Circe]

"Ah-hah!" Circe snaps the fingers of her free hand, "The sky top one. Total win there," she giggles happily. "That dress was a breeze ta put on. Comfortable. This looks like I'm wearing little, but," Circe twists and bends at her waist and she frowns, "It is tight on the ass," which from Connor's angle is being emphasized by the pose Circe holds.


It is too tight to hold though, so she goes back to more relaxed as Connor greets everyone, "Surrounded by so many lovely ladies...and a handsome man. Sir Fugly has quite the entourage tonight."


Circe looks to Seraphina, a new expression forced onto her face. One can practically see the happy sparkle of sunshine coming off her smile, "Oooooh," her ears bouncing for only the Lost to see, "Swedish imports? If I'm extra well behaved?"


"We totally should Riley," she nods in agreement, "Self defense is important, aaand the first aid training when ya lean inta the punch by accident, oh ho ho ho!"


Circe could always laugh at her own failures. The Summer Queen may have a lower sense of self-preservation then Talia. Probably came with selling guns to drugged out ne'er-do-wells, professional killers, revolutionaries, and probable poachers. Getting scared? That was kind of hard for her.


She looks around with a frown, "Well, I don't see anyone dressed as the IRS. Or super murder chickens," Circe visibly shudders, "How exactly are we to get scared tonight? If we are to get full of fright? Oh wait, tequila. That'll help with that, oh ho ho!"


And she puts action to match words, getting herself a drink to begin drinking. The don't drink and shoot policy didn't apply to confetti guns.

[Sonnie Wu]

"He is loved very much, thank you!" Sonnie agreed proudly. She did her best to be a good dog mom.

Looking to Sera, she smirked and said, "You even have to ask? Let's stuff ourselves!" Fugly seemed to be in agreement, as he was sniffing towards the delicious aromas coming from the festival food stands. Sonnie picked up his leash now that the dog had made his rounds.

[Rlyeh]

"Good-great-yes." nodding to her Seeming-sister

R'leyh smiles to herself, trying to keep her laughter quiet, but then she pauses, and lets it out. A soft sound, a little rusty but there. She didn't have to hide. She didn't have to make herself small. That's her Queen everyone, and she's allowed to laugh. But she nods, anyway. Defense of self is important, doubly so for the first line of defense as the trio are.

"Column-a-and-b-and-c?" she offers her own opinion to Sera-Queen, food and drinks sound good. Plus fright was in Season.

[Talia]

"Oh that sounds wonderfull." She beamed and turned to Connor with a smirk "Don't worry Mr Obrien.. I am sure us ladies can protect you but naturally Sir Fugly is a fierce defender and will no doubt get in there first." it had not escaped her that Connor was the only man in the group.

[Seraphina]

Perking up, “Perfect! Lets hope they have something scary then!” it was a hit or miss with some of these setups. Trying to remain kid friendly, some of the scares were cheesy, at best.

Focusing on Jenn, “Where did you find such a beautiful dress, if you don’t mind me asking.” A warm smile touching her lips.

As he showed off his beer, “Then maybe you could tell us if you recommend the beer or not. I haven’t seen what they have to offer yet, so a thumbs up or down would be helpful.” She was still trying to acquire a taste for beer. “Everything is more fun with friends!” declares the Nix with a wide smile.

Nodding to Circe, “He collects friends wherever he goes, he just oozes personality.” Was true.

“Swedish imports? Well now, that does take a new level of dedication to being well behaved. Think you are up to the challenge?” she teases with a wink.

“Can attest, self-defense is very important, and I bet you’re a great teacher.” Then a pause, “But going to have go with Sonnie on being the best teacher.” Again, teasing and playful.

Walking behind Sonnie, she looks to Rlyeh, “A girl after my own heart! We’ll take everything offered!” arms held up in victory over her head, the black shirt riding up slightly.

When Talia mentioned them being able to defend him, “Oh yeah, totally! I haven’t had to defend someone in a while, but totally down for the task!”
