(11:13:09 AM) ***Khaira has called everyone together for a trip to meet up with some friends of hers! Those friends, apparently, live within the infamous Scarlet Devil Mansion, said to be guarded by firebreathing dragons, the home of a tremendously powerful vampire served by a fallen foe... But that has to be exaggerations and rumours, right?
(11:14:58 AM) Feldi: Linny has decided to tag along, mostly because she has nothing better to do and maybe someone will be up for a fight.
(11:16:04 AM) Ikiryo: Said mansion is...huge. Sigil is a city of large buildings but this is just silly, the grounds of the estate and the mansion itself look like they could take up a small city in and of itself on any other sphere.
(11:16:53 AM) ***Annandra is there with her girlfriend! She's in civvies again! Slightly fancier than usual civvies, but still just a dress. Her hair's ice blue right now. She whistles. "Nice place."
(11:17:39 AM) Khaira: "It is! Aaaaaages ago I accidentally wandered in there some how, and I think I got in a few fights, but they're friends now! Mostly. Some of them might want to kill me?" She shrugs, in her simple white dress and straw hat, floating rather than walking.
(11:18:07 AM) Feldi: "Can't blame them for that....It feels like someone's compensating for something," she comments. She's dressed in her old tunic and leggings again, adjusted now for her slightly slighter bust.
(11:18:58 AM) Ikiryo: Said girlfriend looks like she did when people last saw her, a pornographic parody of a librarian in a miniskirt and tight blouse.
(11:19:04 AM) Annandra: "I mean, plenty of people I call friends want to kill me," Annandra notes, an arm around the Librarian and a smile on her face.
(11:19:49 AM) Khaira: Khaira spins in the air, smiling at the librarian. "And there's a girl here who thinks she has a bigger library than you!"
(11:20:41 AM) Ikiryo: Outside the front of the gates is a tall, athletic red-haired woman in a cheongsam emblazoned with scales...who is leaned back in a seat, snoring.
(11:21:17 AM) Khaira: Khaira giggles. "Sometimes I try to sneak in~"
(11:22:50 AM) Annandra: "Is it... particularly difficult?"
(11:23:11 AM) Feldi: Linny walks up to just before the red-haired woman. "Can't be, if the guard is asleep."
(11:23:47 AM) Khaira: "Try it~"
(11:24:32 AM) Feldi: Linny glances back at Khaira, then shrugs.  She attempts to jump the gate.
(11:24:59 AM) Emilia is now known as Reise
(11:25:00 AM) Ikiryo: She keeps snoring as she reaches up and graps Linny's leg. Standing up she'd be very damn tall, if not quite as tall as Lifen.
(11:25:17 AM) Annandra: "Neat."
(11:25:57 AM) Feldi: Linny blinks down at her caught leg, held in the air by the snoring guard. "Great."
(11:26:57 AM) Khaira: "Hi Meiling! My friends and I are here to visit!"
(11:27:17 AM) Ikiryo: She opens her eyes and sticks out her tongue at Linny, keeping up the snoring sound as she does.
(11:27:53 AM) ***Reise comes up behind the others, peeling designer sunglasses off her face. She's in a sleeveless red shirt that approximates Linny's tunic, and creme capri pants; the underarm purse helps her look like any other woman on the street. The strange scene gives her no pause. "Sorry I'm late, but glad I caught you guys outside still."
(11:28:47 AM) Khaira: "Hi Reise!"
(11:28:58 AM) Khaira: Khaira floats over to kiss her on the cheek.
(11:29:11 AM) Feldi: Linny pivots in Meling's grasp, resting her other foot on the guard's wrist. "Hi Reise."
(11:29:19 AM) Annandra: "Hey Reise!"
(11:29:23 AM) Ikiryo: The tall woman lets go of Linny to let her to the ground, sitting up. "Hello there." She smiles at them all.
(11:29:51 AM) Feldi: Or Linny gets to solid ground instead.
(11:30:24 AM) ***Reise waves at everyone, smiling at the peck on her cheek from Khaira. "Man, I didn't think I was actually /this/ popular. Who's your friend, Linny?"
(11:30:38 AM) Feldi: "Meiling, apparently."
(11:31:11 AM) Feldi: She dusts herself off as she turns back to the cheongsam-wearing woman.
(11:32:12 AM) Ikiryo: "The gate guard, yes." She stands up, bowing to them.
(11:32:35 AM) Annandra: "Pleasure to meet you," she says to Meiling, looking her up and down--she's TRYING to look like she's just appraising her as a fighter.
(11:32:37 AM) Reise: "Oh, alright." She inclines her head. "Uh, I'm Reise."
(11:33:05 AM) Khaira: Khaira smiles before blinking, looking back to Meiling. "Ohh, right! How's Tanir doing?"
(11:33:44 AM) ***Reise blinks, and then her eyebrows climb. Now that's a name she hasn't heard in most of a year...
(11:37:27 AM) Ikiryo: "Surly~" She smirks
(11:38:09 AM) Khaira: Khaira giggles again. "Can we all go in?"
(11:38:58 AM) Ikiryo: "If you wish, yes." She nods
(11:39:32 AM) Khaira: "Thanks! Oh, do you know where I could find Sakuya? I need to talk to her about some stuff! You gave her my message, right?"
(11:39:35 AM) Annandra: "Excellent. I hear there's a library my girlfriend needs to put to shame."
(11:39:49 AM) Feldi: "Tanir?" Linny questions Reise.
(11:40:32 AM) ***Reise slowly pulls her gaze back to Linny. "Uh...right. Way back when we first met Tana, Tathyr and her...sister or twin or just cohort or whatever, Tanir, were part of the kill squad hunting her."
(11:41:00 AM) Reise: "The death mark's been lifted, though. Shouldn't be a big deal anymore. I hope."
(11:41:27 AM) Ikiryo: "She would be in the kitchens right now." She nods to Khaira "And yes, I did."
(11:41:30 AM) Annandra: "Should calm Uytana down a little anyway. Though knowing her..."
(11:42:48 AM) Khaira: "Thank you! Let's go!" Khaira smiles, walkign into the 'mansion'.
(11:42:59 AM) ***Annandra follows along.
(11:43:29 AM) Feldi: "Bunny will find some way to work herself back up again." She follows Khaira into the mansion proper. "I guess I can ask if they're related," she says to Reise, "if we meet her."
(11:43:46 AM) Ikiryo: ...it's nearly a twenty minute walk between the gates and the mansion. Linny feels like she could run about these grounds for hours before going through the same place twice.
(11:43:56 AM) ***Khaira hums to herself!
(11:44:36 AM) Feldi: She notes to do just that one day.
(11:45:32 AM) Annandra: "Damn, this place is rich. It puts the Orzhov to shame."
(11:46:19 AM) Feldi: Linny sighs to herself and looks up that name on the AR screen. So many names to learn.
(11:47:20 AM) ***Reise catches sight of Linny's distracted gaze. "One of the guilds. Alllllll about the money."
(11:47:43 AM) Khaira: "This place is always interesting! You never know who you're going to meet. And sometimes there are fights!"
(11:47:52 AM) Annandra: "Fights, you say?"
(11:48:07 AM) Ikiryo: There are a lot of girls in maid outfits tending to the gardens and sweeping things off the paths.
(11:48:14 AM) Feldi: "Oh." She swipes the AR screen away. "Fights I'm down for."
(11:48:41 AM) ***Annandra eyes the maids. She makes a mental note that Lien is not to get ideas here.
