15:28 <IterationDrive> [Welcome to the Amaranth Spirit Mantor, as it's historically called. A moment and your guide will arrive.] Trusty_Patches' connection to the runners cuts off, and outside the T-Bird they see what must be the Manor in question. Simply huge, obviously something someone has poured alot of money into, if not love. Outside the T-Bird are four security personnel, of mixed metatypes...
15:29 <Mike> "Impressive place."
<IterationDrive> (Two human, a dwarf, and an elf), but all of chinese nationality, wearing violet epulets and berets with a symbol emblazoned on them. The dwarf speaks, in English. "If you'd all step down, we'll give you a quick security check while waiting for Mister Cerise."
15:30 * Sherman nods and steps down. "Quite the place."
* Jessica smiles a little and keeps to the back of the group.  "And me with nothing to wear."  She sounds philosophical about it, but looks around the grounds.
15:33 * Mike quirks a brow, stepping down.  "Your friend keeps interesting company, Jess."
15:34 <IterationDrive> The grounds are quite well-kept--many plants, both native and (carefully) imported. The four security guards busy themselves by running various scanners and sensors over the four, and after a few moments, a man walks up. He has a full head of hair, though it's grey edging on white, and is wearing an exquisitely tailored suit. His face is hawkish, but handsome, and his skin is...
15:35 <IterationDrive> on the paler side of average. He gives a light bow to the group of runners. "Ah, there you are! I am Isadore Cerise, the head butler of the Amaranth Spirit Manor. Apologies for the wait, but our security forces take their job very seriously. My Mistress is awaiting you inside--tell me, have you eaten yet? If not, I imagine she will wish to provide a good lunch for you."
