(2504) Eternal Seasons

[Kray]

Not being overly invested in what the delicate elemental chose to do, more that it conjured images of those spinning ballerina music boxes. "Uh. Just a thought was all." And having some direction could do a changeling some good, if they were stable enough to hold it down anyway. Mina seemed pretty with it so far. "Uh. What's the appeal of teaching then?" Oh he appreciated education plenty but you know first had perspectives and such.

The cup was placed on a surface within arms reach now quiet empty. "Oh. Right you are there Sven there are plenty of things that are only proper. Good drinks among them." Circe loud interjection was about impossible to miss but not having been privacy to the preceding snippets the giant can only look confused at being the subject of her exclamation. "Uh. He is what?" As it was followed by the word pun suspicion stays very low, quite familiar with the summers sense of humour by now and that he often missed the joke.

[Mina]

The Elemental was happy to eat her pizza and sip the soda, though now she wanted a beer and got up to find herself one. Opening a cooler, finding one, she smiled and sat back down, beer was amazing with pizza.

A single nod to Circe, “Will do Circe! Does the offer extend past getting me into a dance company?” she asks. It sounded like the Summer Queen was into some, not legal, activities, and if so, maybe she could help her secure an ID.

The nod to Vincent was one of understanding, “We’re not really living a life that would be good for such a thing. But I don’t really know you, so I can’t say if you would be or not, so I’ll have to take you at your word. There are other ways to express or help our children if you were inclined.” Programs she’d heard about through her work.

“I teach preteens currently. I find children difficult to really work with.” They just didn’t grasp the study very well. “And I teach ballet, it’s my passion and the form of dance I mastered.” Her whole life, at one point, had been dedicated to it.

To Sonnie, “I mean, why not? Seems you can freeze dry just about everything else? So why not a slice of pizza? We’d just need one of the machines, pop a slice in and see what happens. They sell freeze dried candy and other food items online. You know we have to try it for science and shit.” Like, come on!

Nodding to Kray, “It’s a great thought! One I’ve had, and maybe when the time is right and I’m more settled.” More things needed to fall into place. “The appeal of it? I get free reign of the studio after hours to dance my heart out, plus a paycheck. Working for a company is great, but it’s being told what to dance and a rigorous schedule which I’m just not feeling right now. Kinda like how laid back teaching is.”

[Svelte Sven]

The fact that Circe thought he was making a pun went right over Sven's head. All he knew was that something he had said had amused the Summer Queen greatly, so the Whisperwisp gave a polite smile to the Larcenist and crossed his arms behind his back. If the Queen of Wrath thinks you've made a funny joke, indulge her. Kray's confusion on the matter drew his attention and the Winter Courtier gave a slight shrug before a devilish thought crossed his mind.

The Flowing Page held a finger to his lips before glancing at the Autumn King. He cupped a hand over his mouth once again and invoked his kith's blessing, letting the Wyrd guide his words directly into the Gristlegrinder's ears. It was eating into his glamour reserves, admittedly, but this kind of good-natured gossip was what he was made for... almost literally. "To be perfectly honest, I don't really get what she's talking about. I think she took what I said to imply that you were... incorrigible." It was technically the truth... the best way to present the truth. If it stirred up trouble, well... Don't shoot the messenger.

[Circe]

"Right, right. Chocolate, bacon combo for snack. No Xylitol Scooby Snacks for sharing with Prince Fugly. Frozen treat debate for big, I get," she shrugs nonchalantly. Sonja couldn't banish her over banana soda. From the Freehold at least. From an event? Sure she could pull that off. Risk a Hedge Duel honor challenge in the process. And given she knows Circe, that'd result in cyber attacks out of spite instead of a challenge. Circe fights dirty.


"Sure Mina," because why not. If Mina needed her services, she'd help a Freeholder. Directly or without a finder's fee for services located. "Groundskeeper means helping keep the Freehold and its courtiers safe. Happy to help."


"Freeze dry, air fry, deep fry, flash freeze. The last does not rhyme and is the most dangerous to try," Circe chimes in on the culinary options. The latter was a good preservation technique, but she'd not the tools for that. Or the third. Or the fourth. Liquid nitrogen was dangerous, though she still had it on her check list for ways to take out an enemy. T2 gave her ideas.


"Wow Svelte," she stops laughing to look at him in genuine surprise. "That is the most polite way to describe the Internet term I have ever heard. Aaaand I may have given away the pun now, I apologize for that," she bows her head in regret at doing so.


Then looks to Kray, "It was a good pun, caught me completely off guard," she drinks her beverage with a chuckle. "Not insulting, pretty sure I got the bitch covered enough for the whole Freehold. It SHOULD have been surprising someone thought of it before me. Much shame to me for not getting it sooner," Circe shakes her head. "I think Kray, that I am falling off my pun-ish throne. You saw how it split off earlier. My skills are going down the toilet when it comes to the verbal gibes, totally cut off."

[Vincent Black]

Vincent listens and perks up when she mentions ballet, "Uhm would you be willing to give me some lessons, I hear that ballet is good for increasing leg strength and increasing jump height."

He then turns to Circe, "Hey Circe are we still good to set up for moonshining? As the groundskeeper I want to make sure you are still good with it."

[Sonnie Wu]

The Spring Queen rose to her feet, looknig around at the gathered fae of the freehold, and smiled. "I hope everyone has enjoyed themselves tonight. Please know that soon, I'll be hosting a beach party at the river. I'll post details in the Tavern tomorrow. Be sure to take some pizza home with you when you leave tonight, but no rush! The night is young!"

Fugly yapped happily as Sonnie finished speaking. (Fang & Talon Translation: "Mom! I got to poo! I'm gonna do it right here, okay?")

[Kray]

So mina danced what the ogre would categorise as a proper kind of dancing, not that he knew anything about it but it looked a dam sight better then whatever the twitching and fitting of some of this modern stuff seemed to be. "Huh. Ballet don't see that around to much anymore." But followed was a first. "Uh. Teaching laid back." That seemed to stun the ogre more then it should. "Now. I never heard anyone say that before." Maybe because he had terrorised teachers back in his day regrettably now.

And maybe he should have checked that drink because now he's hearing voices, no a voice, Sven's voice even though he's over there. Neat trick. "Huh. Me. Incorrigible." Evil toothy smirk stretches as he nearly nearly pours glamour into his own tongue but the darkling has already seen what the troll can do with that can no one needs to wet their pants today. "Uh. I prefer to think no one can quite relate is all." Much as he could not to them for all the similarities what had shaped each one of them was horrifyingly unique. "Huh. By chance yo can't make that gift of yours work both ways can you?." Because that would be handy. Or disguise your voice maybe.

Circe might have gotten away with it to, if she hadn't been the one to explain what an internet troll is to the very real one. "Oh. I see." Either he found it amusing or its a mark of how much more he respects Circe that she seems to get off Scott free. "Hm. Just remember I'm not toothless when confronted." Nor did he use a screen, not an electronic one anyway.

The Spring queen gives her announcement about the up coming party and its heard, more so the instruction to take pizza now that is task he can commit to.

[Sonnie Wu]

Much pizza was eaten, rides were ridden, and Fugly defecated in the middle of the party. All in all, a roaring success!
