In a cottage in Improbable Central, The Library by name, lived a [[Lady Akitsu|fair maiden]]. For a time, she was content to live in the small dwelling. One day, she became slightly restless with her cottage and decided that she would do away with it in favor of a slightly larger mansion. On that day, she began planning a party. Not any party, mind you, a wondrous party.

And so on the twenty-third day of the fifth month of the year twenty one oh-nine, it did begin;((And it was good))((Good? Were you even there? It was amazing!))((I kept getting stuck on the FailBoat.))
====== Day One ======

(2d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu strides in and glances around, surveying the area. She frowns. Oh, no no no. This will simply not do. She gets to work.

(2d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu immediately starts cleaning EVERYTHING, top to bottom, starting on the ground floor. Kitchen gets scrubbed, pots and pans in their designated display section.   

(2d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu moves onto the sitting room, tidying up in general, dusting, putting pillows back in their proper place. The bathroom gets the same treatment.   

 sliding down the banister (sidesaddle, of course) on the last story. "I'm glad you like it."   

(2d22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin looks about for a bit. "Who else was in here?" She noticed the Skull on her way in.   

(2d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu arches a brow, tilting her head to the side. "Eh? How do you mean?"   

(2d22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin holds up the small key she recieved. "Who else had a key?"   

(2d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu opens a hall closet and starts pulling out a few card tables to set up (for food and drinks later), followed by tablecloths to cover them. She smiles.   

(2d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu says, ""Oh, a long list. Mostly fellow Vets..."   

(2d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu blinks and turns to glance over her shoulder. "Wait, you mean FIRST?"   

(2d22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin shrugs. "I meant who else had a key under your ownership." And why she didn't have one until now.   

(2d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins. "Well... Bob, of course. And Kuro. Oh, and Uncle." She giggles. "But for the party I made a whole slew of keys."   

(2d21h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles. "Have you given them all out yet?"
   
(2d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles shyly before going into the kitchen, taking out a few ice chests. "Indeed I did! And what work it was earning the Req for 'em! But I did it."   

(2d21h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin follows Kit into the kitchen, grinning at all the shiny pots and pans. "It's quite the place, Kit."   

(2d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu fills chests with a selection of sodas, beer, and champagne before carrying them out to the tables. She then opens the bar installed in the far wall and sets out glasses and a bottle of whiskey.   

(2d21h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin eyes the ice chests and bar. "Who all did you invite?"   

(2d20h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin sets down a sealed pot on one of the tables. It's locked shut, the contents a mystery until she opens it.   

(2d20h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin makes a few more trips out and back, eventually ending up with four locked pots on the tables. Her things are ready for the party, or at least the first day.   

(2d20h) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth stops in with some party lights- Luminescent moths in weightless glass spheres. They will slowly attune to 'Kit, and go where she wills them.   


(2d19h) <CDAG> Master Sergeant Giuseppe Lorenzo has brought along his bass. "If only I had someone to play with."   

(2d19h) <CDAG> Master Sergeant Giuseppe Lorenzo says, "That was a hint."

(2d18h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat feels he missed the party. "Oh well. Maybe a little cleanup is in order." He then goes and cleans the first floor.   

(2d18h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu would assure Cheshire that the party hasn't even started yet, but she's upstairs getting her beauty sleep, so she kinda can't. Ah well.   

(2d6h) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie wanders in with a case of "liberated" champagne and sets the bottles up in the fridge to chill.   

(2d1h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin stops by and opens the first of the pots. It's divided in half by a metal plate, one part Oxtail stew, one part hand made noodles to go with it. She sets down a stack of bowls next to the pot.   

(1d23h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin taps her foot, waiting for others to arrive before eating.   

(1d22h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen wonders when the party is going to start.   

(1d22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles at Gorbert. It's going to start whenever people start eating or bringing things to eat.   

(1d22h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "But where's the host? The party shouldn't start without its host present."   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Merlin enters with a large basket of freshly baked scones. She smiles at Rosin and Gorbert. "good evening!"   

(1d22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin looks up the stairs at the locked door to the master bedroom. "I think she's getting her skirts in order."   

(1d22h) <DICE> Sessine comes in, empty-handed and apologizing. "I'll have a dish for later tonight, but I only just got the cumin, and the lamb needs to marinate."   

(1d22h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty pokes her head in. Her ears are angled uncertainly. "Gorbert. Gorbert-gorbert-gorbert, come here."   

(1d22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles at Sessine and Z. "Well, it won't be long now that everyone's showing up."   

(1d22h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen glances curiously at Zolotisty and walks over to confer with her.   

(1d22h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty snatches him above the elbow when he is within grabbing distance. She hauls him outside, waving to Rosin. "Hullo, Rosin, compliments to Kit on the decorating, back in a moment!"   

(1d22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin grins, whispering to Sessine almost too quietly for him to hear, "I wonder what she has for this."   

(1d22h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty speaks quietly with Gorbert. He looks exasperated. "Well, I offered last night," he says, and she presses her fingers to his mouth to shush him. "Aye, well, I got distracted. Help."   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Merlin holds out her basket, "Rosin, do you know where I should put these?"   

(1d22h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria wanders up to the cottage, holding his large wooden box over his shoulder. He carefully raps on the door, adjuting the box from slipping.   

(1d22h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen shakes his head in weary resignation and gestures for her to follow.

(1d22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles and gently steers Merlin over to one of the card tables set up. "There you are." She turns to the door, "Come on in!"   

(1d22h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty troops after him. She doesn't look at KK as they pass. 

(1d22h) <DICE> Sessine smiles at Rosin. "We'll find out soon enough," he says, not whispering in the least. "How are you tonight?"   

(1d22h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria closes his eyes as Zolotisty passes. He was looking for her earlier. One of those people that are found if they feel like it.   

(1d22h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria holds the box in one hand, opening the door with the other. A complex bout of trying to fit a nine by three foot box through the door with him carrying it, and he's inside.   

(1d22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin moves over to her second locked pot, flipping the catches as she replies to Sessine, "I'm doing rather well, a bit hungry though." The pot holds a hearty broth and noodles, along with meat.   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Merlin gently places the basket on the table. "Evening Sessine, Evening KK."   

(1d22h) <DICE> Sessine helps KK steady the box through the door so it doesn't gouge the door frame.   

(1d22h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria offers a greeting to Merlin and thanks for Sessine. It was difficult to fit through with keeping the box righted at the same time.   

(1d22h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria looks around awkwardly, trying to find a place on the table to set down the box. "Rosin?" He asks, looking around but being careful to not move and clobber someone with it.   

(1d22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin notices the size of the box, puts an estimate of it's weight, and holds up a finger. "One moment." She moves the two largest pots off of the strongest table. "Should hold it."   

(1d22h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria nods in thanks, setting the box down, careful not to hit Sessine in the head. Knocking off his hat was collateral damage... KK apologizes for that as well.   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles quietly, watching with amusement. "I do believe We need more tables!" She makes her way back towards the closet hall and drags out a table, although with a bit of effort.   

(1d22h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria rushes over to give Akitsu a hand with carrying.   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu frowns, pausing mid-pull. "Ohhh, DRAT. I forgot music..."   

(1d22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin begins dishing bowls of oxtail stew and soup, setting them around the pots. She smiles upon seeing Kit.   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles gratefully to Mssr. Victoria and sets the table, complete with table cloth. THis one is a tad bit sturdier than the others.   

(1d22h) <DICE> Sessine obligingly had a hat to be knocked off, although where it came from it is hard to say, since he was bare-headed when he entered the cottage. He grins at KK.   

(1d22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin glances around at the others at the mentions of forgotten music. Half of them are musicians of some sort.   

(1d22h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria smirks and looks back to Rosin. "Food served?" He asks, wondering if there wasa time that food was to be served.

(1d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu claps in delight, smiling pleasantly. "Sessine! I'm so glad to could make it." She glances around at her guests, most pleased. "As well as the rest of you!"   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu uncerimoniously boots a typo gremlin from the threshold of her home.   

(1d22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles to KK, having already prepared a few bowls. "If you care to, it would be a good time to start."   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Merlin smiles at Akitsu. "Thank you for having us. The food smells lovely."  

(1d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles, nodding to Mssr. Victoria. "Please, help yourself. There are no formalities here."   

(1d22h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria nods, prying open nailed planks of wood to open up the box. The smell is that of freshly grilled fish. KK opens up the sides, revealing a full grilled Black Marlin.   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu gasps happily, reaching forward to grasp Melin by the hands. "Dear, Thank you so much for coming! Oh, and I never got to congradulate you for your promotion!"   

(1d22h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria had a wonderful victory earlier. In the halls of the clan there was this marlin... Always taunting him...   

(1d22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin takes a bowl the size of a small washtub, divided into quarters by metal plates, and serves herself a bit of both kinds of stew before she smells the fish.   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Merlin smiles. "I don't think I ever did for you either actually. things got quite crazy. So, Congratulations!" she laughs, "Bernard made a good choice."   

(1d22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin hovers over to the source of the delicious scent, looking up at KK.   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles, a faint crimson staining her cheeks as a shy smile graced her features. "I should say the same to you, dear."   

(1d22h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria holds up a finger, grinning at Rosin before looking to Akitsu and taking out a cleaver.   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu catches the glint of metal in the corner of her eye and glances over, distracted. "Eh?"   

(1d22h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria nods to the fish.   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu arches a brow, watching curiously.   

(1d22h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria holds out the cleaver to her.   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles, shaking her head and raising her hands in deference. "Please, go ahead. I'd love to see your skills in action."   

(1d22h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria shrugs, taking out a second knife, and sliding the blades against each other. Just for the effect of a show, really.   

(1d22h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria starts, running the thinner knife against the bases of the fins. The fish was already scaled and cooked, just not cut up for serving.

(1d22h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria removes the fins, then slices off the head of the marlin, then turns the fish and begins to dice the body into steaks.   

(1d22h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria finishes the work quickly, setting out the wooden board of steaks to serve. He grins proudly.   

(1d22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin licks her lips as she watches KK work. It looks just as good as it smells.   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu winces, attempting too look away when the fish is promptly decapitated, and fails horribly. Wait... did it just wink at her?   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Merlin nods. "looks quite lovely KK. " she looks toward Akitsu and then toward the food. "Shall we start then?"   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu nods, forcing a pleasant smile through a paled face. "As I said, there are no formalities here." She gestures to the ice chests and the bar. "Might I get you a drink?"   

(1d22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin appologizes for having to leave so early, and just before eating too.   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Merlin thinks for a moment. "Wine? if you have some please." She waves a fairwell to Rosin then places one of the Marlin steaks on a plate.   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu nods and scuttles off to the bar, opening a small wine fridge built in. "Lessee... Red or white, dear?   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu arches a brow, glancing over at the Marlin... "White, then. Hrm. I have a lovely Sauvignon Blanc, if you like."   

(1d22h) <CDAG> Merlin ponders for a moment. "Red please." she picks up a fork takes a small bite of the fish. Her eyes close. "wonderfully cooked, KK."   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles and nods. "As you wish. Merlot?"  

(1d21h) <CDAG> Merlin frowns at the distortion. "Yes thank you."   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu rummages through the fridge, pulling out racks. "I also have Pinot Noir, if that strikes your fancy."   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Merlin says, "no no, the Merlot is fine."   

(1d21h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria grins, taking a plate of the fish and sitting down at a nearby table with it.   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu nods and pulls down a glass from a wall rack, wiping it clean before pouring a glass first for Merlin, then herself. "Here you are, dear."  

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles at Mssr. Victoria. "Would you like a drink, darling? Whiskey or brandy, perhaps?"

(1d21h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria nods. "Whiskey, please."

(1d21h) <CDAG> Merlin smiles. "thank you" then takes the drink and and sits down at a table.

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu nods, corking the wine and setting it aside for later. Up on her tiptoes, she pulls a decanter of the liquor and few shot glasses. She grins. "On the rocks, or neat?"   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Merlin smiles. "thank you" then takes the drink and and sits down at a table.   

(1d21h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria smiles, nodding. "Neat."   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Merlin frowns. She hasn't even drank any of the wine yet. she shouldn't be seeing double...   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles, grinning at Merlin before pouring two doubles for Mssr. Victoria, placing them on a tray afterwards and carrying them to his side. "Here you are, handsome."   

(1d21h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria snorts, as he always does when called handsome, but grins anyway, taking the whiskey with a nod of thanks.   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smirks, slinging an arm around his shoulders to give a one-armed hug before dashing into the kitchen.   

(1d21h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV enters hesitantly at first then notches up her chin, holding a tray in front of her. She looks around and nods at everyone.   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu wanders back out, smiling as she spots Jade. "Ah, you made it! THank goodness!"   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Merlin waves. "Hallo Jade." she points to the fish. "Come have some Marlin, it's quite tasty."   

(1d21h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV smiles at Kit and uncovers the tray proudly. Deviled truffle eggs, tasty but rather unevenly dolloped. She shoves the tray into Kit's hands. "I said I would come and I brought you this."   

(1d21h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV sheepishly admits, "I had a lot of help though."   

(1d21h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat walks in, grinning. "Hello, everyone."   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu balances a wide dish on each hand, setting them down on the table. THey are both full of greens, one holding a spinach salad (yes, the one with bacon).   

(1d21h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat totes in a bottle of Shiraz, and leaves it near the other wine bottles.   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu arches a brow, glancing down at the dish suddenly thrust into her hands. She smiles. "Ah, well thank you. I'm glad you could make it." 

(1d21h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV wanders over towards Merlin and gives her a big hug. "Hello, Mer." She waves at CC and eyes the wine table.   

(1d21h) <SPOON> Hermein pokes his head through the door, then steps inside. He's carrying a large round tin box - just about three-gallon size.   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles and sets the covered dish down, ushering Jade to the bar. "What would you like, dear? I have wine, brandy, whiskey, beer, and soda."   

(1d21h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty approaches the building at a careful lope. She pauses behind Hermein and steps in after him, turning to hold the door with her shoulder for him.

(1d21h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV smiles grandly at Kit. "Whiskey would be wonderful."   

(1d21h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat waves to Z as she heads on in, then returns to examining the wine bottles.   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Merlin looks with interest at the deviled eggs. She picks up a few and sits back at her seat. She takes a bite.   

(1d21h) <SPOON> Hermein bows to Z, smiling. "Thanks, and good to see you, tonight!"   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu waves cheerfully at Hermein and Z. "Welcome! Please, help yourselves!"   

(1d21h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat tilts his head to Kit. "Do you have any Gin, Tonic, or Limes?"   

(1d21h) <SPOON> Hermein already has his eye on a few of the goodies, but has to deliver his own first. He balances the tin in one hand and pops the lid off. Inside, tightly packed little spheres.   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles, smiling at Jade. Somehow She knew whiskey would be the choice. She sets out two bottles. "Jim or Jack, dear?"   

(1d21h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen follows Zolotisty into the house. He smiles warmly at Kit and heads to the refreshment table. Reaching into his coat, he pulls out a flask of the mysterious blue liquor...   

(1d21h) <SPOON> Hermein inhales the aroma - fumes, really - from his cookies. "Hi, Kit - I don't know where the dessert table is, but I brought rum balls. Seven different varieties actually."   

(1d21h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria holds up his glass of whiskey to welcome the new arrivals.   

(1d21h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen ...that just seems to materialize in there. Then another, and another, until he's set a dozen bottles in a rough pyramid shape.   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu shakes her head, smiling sheepishly. "No Gin, but I do have club soda and lines in the kitchen."   

(1d21h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen tips his hat and KK Victoria.   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu tosses another pair of typo gremlins out, this time through a window located near the stair case.   

(1d21h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty nods at Hermein. "Good to see you, too, Hermein." She sidles off to find a place to put her own tray -- chocolate-covered strawberries, as ordained by Gorbert the lifesaver.   

(1d21h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV considers for a moment. "Jack sound good tonight." She waves at the Professor and KK.   

(1d21h) <SPOON> The Lady Lelila pushes open the door with her shoulder, a covered bowl, a basket, and a bottle of wine in her arms. She grins. "I'm not late, am I?"   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Merlin calls to Jade. "These are very tasty Jade, great job." she finishes the egg and goes to find some more fish.   

(1d21h) <DICE> Sessine greets Hermein with a smile. "Good to see you. How's it been going for you today?"

(1d21h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen takes one of the bottles of liquor for himself and settles into a chair near Jade. "Hello, Merlin. Care for some?" he asks, offering the liquid.   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins, waving Lelila over to the bar. "Not at all, dear!"   

(1d21h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty approaches Kit curiously. Bartending, is she?   

(1d21h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV nods at Merlin and points at Gorbert. "I had coaching." She winks.   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Merlin eyes the glass cautiously. "um... sure."    

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins, giving a playful wink as she pours Jade a shot of good ol' Jack.   

(1d21h) <SPOON> Hermein calls back to Sessine, "Oh, same old - jungle, workshop, you know. And you?"   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu says, "What would you like, Z dear?""  

(1d21h) <SPOON> The Lady Lelila sets the bowl and basket - spinach artichoke dip and flatbread, respectively - on the table, and hands the bottle - a Merlot - to Kit.   

(1d21h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV laughs and downs the shot in a single go. The warmth goes down easily. She smiles at Kit as she pours another. "Excellent. Thank you."   

(1d21h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty smiles. "Whatever you recommend."   

(1d21h) <SPOON> Hermein pulls on a ring that is visible in the middle of the cookies, and lifts out a stack of seven trays that separate and click into place. He sets the stack on the dessert table and hides the tin away.   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles appreciatively and accepts the bottle, placing it in the wine fridge to chill a bit. "You're too kind, darling. Thank you." That goes to both girls, apparently.   

(1d21h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen pours out a few fingers of the liquor into a glass before handing the bottle to Jade. "Here. Add this to your whiskey. It's incredible." He gives the glass to Merlin.   

(1d21h) <CDAG> Merlin takes the glass, swishing the liquid around. "hmmm.." she murmers, then takes a drink.   

(1d21h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV takes the bottle from Gorbert and inspects it closely.   

(1d21h) <DICE> Sessine says with a grin, "The network would consider I've been reprehensibly idle today."

(1d21h) The liquor is strong and burns more than most others, but this sensation disappears quickly, leaving a delicious taste in the drinker's mouth.   

(1d21h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty snorts when she hears Sessine.   

(1d21h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat leaves for a moment. He will return.

(1d21h) <SPOON> Hermein is just about to say something to Sessine when he hears Z's reaction, and decides instead to just have one of those deviled eggs.

(1d21h) <CDAG> Merlin 's eyes sparkle. " Quite nice, Gorbert. Quite nice indeed." She takes another sip.

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu arches a brow and eyes Z for a moment, smiling. She goes to work, taking out ginger ale and club soda.

(1d21h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen whispers to Merlin, "Don't let Lelila near it. She might want to dance with me."

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smirks, presenting the new Presbyterian cocktail after adding a lemon twist as a garnish. "Enjoy."

(1d21h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria 's eyebrow creaks up.

(1d21h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV pours in a hefty amount of the liquor in with her whiskey and knocks back a good amount. She seems quite pleased with the taste.

(1d21h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen is never going to let that go. Ever.

(1d21h) <SPOON> The Lady Lelila shoots Gorbert a look. Clearly he wasn't whispering quietly enough.

(1d21h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen ... EVER.

(1d21h) <CDAG> Merlin nods. "I know. We have to watch that one around liquor." she notices Lelila and waves cheerily.   

(1d21h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria has been looking for his thousandth.

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles, amused as she watches with a hand propping up her chin.   

(1d21h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen smiles back at KK Victoria and Lelila.

(1d21h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria may wish to extend the offer to Gorbert.

(1d21h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty accepts. "Thank you!"

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu nods, pleased. "Do tell me what you think, dear."

(1d21h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty likes whiskey, as evidenced by her encounters with Bernard's Sazerac. She is likely to like this.

(1d21h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV hunts around behind Kit's bar for a sizeable glass and dumps more whiskey and liquor into it. Happy with the extremely generous amount, she hands the bottle back to Gorbert.

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles, playfully shooing Jade away from behind the bar.

(1d21h) <SPOON> The Lady Lelila smirks, winking at Gorbert before turning to barkeep-Akitsu. She smiles. "Alright, love, what do you recommend?"

(1d21h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen downs what remains of the bottle. Tiny veins of blue shoot briefly through his eyes before disappearing.

(1d21h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty nudges Lelila, sipping. "Get this." She offers the glass to try.

(1d21h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV waits until Kit's back is turned and filches the rest of the bottle of Jack before settling in by Merlin.

(1d21h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen leans in close to Merlin. "So, what do you think of finishing the performance in here later?"

(1d21h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat returns with a few small bottles: Gin, Tequila, Scotch, Sake, and Ouzo.

(1d21h) <CDAG> Merlin ponders this. "If it's ok by Akitsu, then I would love to. Too much unfinished music floating about."

(1d21h) <SPOON> Hermein wonders how many people CC had to kill in order to get all that liquor. Hopefully Dan at the PSK, at the very least.

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles, amused at Jade's feign of innocened when glanced at. She just shakes her head and grins. "Leilila dear, Would you like a--" `*She pauses, staring wide-eyed at Chesh. A grin, wider now.

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu groans and smashes a glass over another typo gremlin's head, booting it out the door afterwards. Her boot is now slightly bloodied now. She frowns. "I just had these polished, too..."

(1d21h) <SPOON> The Lady Lelila glances at Z's glass. "What's in it?"

(1d21h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV wanders away from Merlin and Gorbert and stands by the bar once more, drinking her whiskey.

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu dashes over to CC and MOBS him with grateful affection before helping him carry the bottles to the bar. "Darling, you are my hero!"

(1d21h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat grins. "I have a key to an old friend's place around here. He hasn't been around for a year or so, so I thought it was fair gam---" He is interrupted by a sudden glomp, and suddenly...no bottles.

(1d21h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty says, "Excellence. Excellence is in this. Some sort of fizzy whatsit and whiskey. Just try it."

(1d21h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat says, still on the floor. "Just go ahead and get me a Gin and Tonic with a Lime if you please."

(1d21h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat throws the grammar goblin who stole his comma for a period at the dartboard across the room.

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu puts all the bottles away before pulling the poor Joker to his feet, granting a kiss to his cheeks. "OF course, of course! Anything you wish, darling!" She is still beaming.

(1d21h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu ushers CC to a chair to recuperate before dashing back to the bar and completing his request.

(1d21h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat sits down and seems to have had his mind shut down for a moment.

(1d21h) <DICE> Sessine says to Akitsu, "If you'll excuse me, I have to run back to my place for a bit. I'll be back shortly, with the dish I promised."

(1d20h) <DICE> Sessine bows to the fair hostess, and takes his leave.

(1d20h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen looks around. Surprisingly quiet. He takes a marlin steak and a deviled truffle egg before sitting quietly on the floor to eat.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles and nods to Sessine before taking CC's drink to him. "Sorry it took so long, dear."

(1d20h) <SPOON> Hermein decides to start out healthy with some salad, but then spots the artichoke dip. Mmmm.

(1d20h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat boots back up. Mrgh. He sees Gorbert and wanders on over.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Merlin points toward her table. "there's a chair right here Gorbert."

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu sighs contentedly and takes a seat, sipping at her own glass of wine from earlier.

(1d20h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat thanks Kit for the drink and squeezes the lime in, sitting on the floor with Gorbert.

(1d20h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen moves to sit next to Merlin's table, but remains on the floor.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu arches a brow, spotting Z's strawberries. Drat... How'd she know those were her favorite? She winces, taking a sip of her wine to curb her temptation.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu glances around, smiling pleasantly. "I do hope everyone's enjoying themselves! It's a bit quiet in here, though..."

(1d20h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty didn't. Gorbert's responsible for the notion. It was a happy accident -- likewise the two totally drenched strawberries that fell into the chocolate. Z settles with her drink. "Mn."

(1d20h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty suggests, smiling crookedly, "We could play a game."

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles in delight, raising her glass. "A wonderful idea, Z."

(1d20h) <CDAG> Merlin finishes the last remains of her fish and slowly sips her drink. "what kind of game?"

(1d20h) <SPOON> The Lady Lelila raises a brow, grinning at Z. "What manner of game?"

(1d20h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV looks inquiringly at Kit with a hand reaching into her pocket. "Kit, mind if I smoke in here?"

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu arches a brow, pondering a moment. She shrugs, smiling still. "The place is going to be torn down, so go right ahead."

(1d20h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty blinks at the chorus. "I don't know. What's a good party game?" She ponders the last party game she played. "I'm not so sure about truth or dare again. Bernard needs to keep SOME of his drawers..

(1d20h) <SPOON> The Lady Lelila snorts, but tries to hide it. She clears her throat. "Yes, perhaps not Truth or Dare."

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu blushes at the mention of that rather awkward game. She shivers, taking a deep draught of her wine. "I hope not, dear."

(1d20h) <CDAG> Merlin thinks for a moment. "Charades?"

(1d20h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty piques. "Oou."

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu finally gives in and snatches up a few berries, purring at the first bite. Her ears droop, relaxed and content. Ahh, simple bliss of fruit and chocolate.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Merlin sets her glass down on the table. "Shall we have teams? or go one by one?"

(1d20h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat nods. There's that, Never have I ever... Have you ever... Mafia...

(1d20h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV lights a cigarette and watches everyone carry on about this 'game'.

(1d20h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty says, "One by one, I think. But we should.. I think someone needs to officiate. We need suggestions." She takes off her hat.

(1d20h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat smiles, snapping his fingers and having some pen and paper appear on the table.

(1d20h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat tosses one or two in. Some are duet pieces, and they promise to be fun.

(1d20h) <DICE> Sessine comes back in with a large rectangular covered pan. When he takes the lid off, there's a stack of skewers with cubes of barbecued lamb, dry-marinated in a mixture of spices that includes cumin.

(1d20h) <DICE> Sessine says, "Late, I'm afraid. But anyone who wants a late-night snack during the evening -- these are spicy, and they'll stay hot."

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu breathes in the scent and finds herself purring even louder. She beams.

(1d20h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria peeks at spicey.

(1d20h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, Late-night nothing. People are still eating." He takes a skewer and pulls all of the cubes off at once.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins playfully at Mssr. Victoria. "Thought you were asleep, darling."

(1d20h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty gets up. Meat.

(1d20h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria just doesn't talk often. He stands up, taking a new plate of the skewers.

(1d20h) <DICE> Sessine says, "So what did I miss?"

(1d20h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "A whole lot of silence, actually. We're trying to get things going with a game."

(1d20h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat says, "Try putting a few suggestions in there for Charades."

(1d20h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat points to Z's Hat.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles quietly. Silence, nothing.

(1d20h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty intently fetches food. The rumballs sidetrack her. Then so does the marlin. Then, woe, truffled eggs.

(1d20h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty eventually plates her original objective. Lucky thing no one here is a vegetarian, Z would be quite bewildered in a conversation with them.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins. "Z, dear...? I noticed your glass looked a bit empty. Would you like more? OR perhaps a different drink?"

(1d20h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty chews. "That would be excellent, Kit, thank you. Whatever you like." Whatever it takes to refill it.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Merlin pulls out her notebook and scratches a few charade ideas down. She places them in the hat, and goes off in search for those rumballs she heard about.

(1d20h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat gets up and grabs a bit of food, then sits back down next to Gorbert. These rumballs look good... everything does...! He happily munches.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu nods and picks up the empty glass, carrying it to the kitchen before making her way to the bar. "Hrm... Perhaps something a bit lighter this time?"

(1d20h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV decides on a deviled truffled egg to balance out the good amount of whiskey she's consumed and furthermore consume once this egg is down.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles and grabs two bottles of champagne, one pink and one regular, and wanders over to Gorbert, grinning playfully. "Would you be a darling and open these for me, please?"

(1d20h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen tilts his head before standing and taking both of the bottles. He uses his thumbs to pop the corks out. Gorbert hands the bottles pack to Kit.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles in delight and leans up on her tip toes to plant a grateful kiss on his cheek before accepting the bottles back. "Thank you, dear."

(1d20h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen sweeps his hat off and bows. "At your service, milady."

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu makes her way back to the bar and proceeds to make Z a Bellini, cracking open a can of peach nectar first.

(1d20h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen looks around, brow furrowed. Too quiet and too still in here. He cocks his head at Merlin, one eyebrow raised. "Shall we?"

(1d20h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty watches curiously.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smirks, offering the fizzing, finished drink with both hands. "Enjoy, darling. But do be careful. It'll go down easy, but it packs quite a wallop."

(1d20h) <DICE> Sessine gets himself some food. Marlin, oh yes, and one of the skewers of lamb. Spinach salad, a deviled egg. A rumball and a chocolate strawberry. A scone. Plate piled, he finds a corner to perch and eat.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu neglects to mention that the nectar was pre-mixed with schnapps, as well.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Merlin nods, and heads back to her seat. She fishes the harp case from under the table, and sets about tuning the strings.

(1d20h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty graciously thanks Kit. There is a moment where balancing things is an issue, so she leaves her plate to return for the drink.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Merlin tilts her head, listening. Yes... all set. She looks over at Gorbert, "Whenever you are ready."

(1d20h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen 's violin case is in his hand without having been in the house beforehand. He pops the clasps and removes the instrument, taking only a minute to prepare it before settling down next to Merlin.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles, leaning back in her seat behind the bar, wine glass in hand as she watches approvingly.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Merlin runs her fingers onces across the strings, then quiets them. She waits for Gorbert to begin.

(1d20h) <SPOON> The Lady Lelila settles in to listen.

(1d20h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV 's eyes are bright, though still drinking quite a lot. Smoking quite a lot as well. A cloud hangs over her by the bar. She cocks her head in anticipation.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu blinks and frowns to herself. Drat. What bad manners. She pours a flute of pink champagne and silently offers it to Lelila, smiling sheepishly.

(1d20h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen sets his bow to the strings and starts of with a rough series of strokes; the notes are sharp and strong, played martele.

(1d20h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen adds in some smoother notes in between the martele playing. A notion of rolling waves comes to mind, easy sailing up and down, but sharp and violent at the crest.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Merlin closes her eyes and the harp begins to weave around the Violin, like the sun dancing off the summer ocean.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Merlin 's fingers pluck the harp strings a little sharper, weaving up and down upon the melody.

(1d20h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat sits back and listens carefully. Interesting.

(1d20h) <DICE> Sessine notes Akitsu's frown of annoyance. He quietly lodges his plate on air and slips out the door. Moments later he returns with a soft candy-pink ball that he leaves on a table near a back wall.

(1d20h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen begins playing sharply, violently. Dark water, rain pelting down on the surface, angry waves crashing against each other.

(1d20h) <SPOON> The Lady Lelila smiles warmly at Kit, accepting the glass. Whispers a quiet, "Thank you, love."

(1d20h) The haze of tobacco smoke begins to clear immediately. Soon the air is clear.

(1d20h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty listens quietly. She sets aside an empty plate.

(1d20h) the harp grows louder, discord making it's way into the piece. the music spirals around in a fury, and the clouds blot out the sun.

(1d20h) <DICE> Sessine resumes eating.

(1d20h) <CIA> The Masquerading James Bond enters, stops by the table to grab a quick bite to eat, then settles back to listen to Merlin and Gorbert play.

(1d20h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen builds to a frenzy, playing as fast as he can, and then suddenly...nothing. Silence. Two measures...three, four pass without a single note played. Then, slowly, he draws the bow across the strings...

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu listens intently, eyes closed and a soft smile on her lips.

(1d20h) The storm is over, but everything is bleak, brushed away by the fury of the tempest. Slowly, Gorbert adds some life to his playing. The notes flow together as the gently rolling waves return.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Merlin waits, then ever so gently a single note on the harp rings out. Then another... a quiet cascade of gently dripping notes echo through the room

(1d20h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen switches from the sea to a river, playing as he had the other night: twisting, flowing notes, giving a winding, meandering feeling.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Merlin follows, the harp playing the leaves that dance upon the water's surface, then the strong current tugging the river toward the sea.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles, quietly standing to fetch her cane. She pops open the handle and draws out her flute. She nods to the pair, as if asking permission.

(1d20h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen tilts his violin towards Kit, inviting her to join. This is her party, after all.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Merlin widens the gap between harp song and violin, allowing the flute to find it's way through the music.

(1d20h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu beams thankfully and takes a seat near them, playing a quiet melody that somehow echoes both instruments, taking on the role of a lazy summer breeze.

(1d20h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen suddenly build up speed and the notes crash against each other, harsh and unmelodious. The rapids bounce and churn, the water turned to white foam.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin 's fingers race across the harp strings, as the notes swell and fade through the churning water. A few unwholesome chords, rocks that block the river's path

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu arches a brow and allows her song to become more aggressive, akin to the wind turning suddenly to whip the waves into a white-capped frenzy, walls of water several stories high.

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen calms the music as abruptly as he had stirred it to a frenzy. It becomes tranquil and still, no longer flowing as it had with the river. A lake, austere yet majestic and beautiful.

(1d19h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV smiles as the music calms.

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen lifts his bow from the strings and sweeps it out to encompass his two colleagues. He bows while still sitting.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu just shakes her head and slows her notes down once more, idle breeze wonce more.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu pauses and smacks a typo gremlin unconcious with the butt of her flute. Honestly, she must do something about those.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin gently stills the strings of the harp and opens her eyes. She nods to her fellow musicians, and to the crowd listening quietly. "Thank you for your patience." she whispers.


(1d19h) <SPOON> The Lady Lelila smiles dreamily. "That was... absolutely beautiful."

(1d19h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV claps enthusiastically for Gorbert and Merlin, and of course, Kit.

(1d19h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty applauds, smiling.

(1d19h) <CIA> The Masquerading James Bond applaudes the music. Quite wonderful, really. A calm place on the Island; who would have thought it possible?

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu blushes and nods in acknowledgement, after first bowing to her fellow musicians. "That was wonderful. Thank you for gracing my home with such beauty."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin lets out the breath she didn't know she'd been holding, and gently places the harp back in its case. She mouths a "Thank you" to gorbert before getting up to find a drink.

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen smiles and kisses Kit's hand. "It was my pleasure, milady. Thank you for joining us."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin returns with a small glass of water. "Yes thank you for joining Kit. Your flute playing is lovely."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu gulps, blushing even darker with a shy smile, flute clutched to her heart. "Oh, my... OH, but I should be thanking you, dear!"

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen smirks. "Fine. We'll all thank each other, then."

(1d19h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty inquires, getting up to get another rumball (or five), "Then what?"

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin sinks into the chair, quite exausted from the pull of the music. She tilts her head, "then what, what?"

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles, throwing her arms about his shoulders in an enthusiastic hug before presenting him and Merlin to the crowd. "Weren't they wonderful? I suggest we give them another round of applause!"

(1d19h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty eyes Merlin. "'Then what, what,' what-what."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin stares back at Zolo, " What?"

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen cuts this off before it turns into a neverending recursive series of whats. "What did you mean when you said, 'then what' Zolotisty?"

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smirks, arching a brow. "Or not. That works, too." It's like Who's On First, almost.

(1d19h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV is still behind the bar, laughing.

(1d19h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty was prepared. She found a sentence about mean bison from a city of yore in a book: Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. But, alas. Gorbert won't have any of that.

(1d19h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty says, pleasant, "I mean, you all congratulate each other, and then what do we do."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin points to Zolo's hat, still filled with paper slips. "There's always charades."

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen shrugs. "I don't know. This is Kit's party, she's in charge."

(1d19h) <CIA> The Masquerading James Bond stares at the hat. "Oooh dear..." This could become very interesting, very fast.

(1d19h) <DICE> Sessine says, "Beautiful playing. I love programmatic music... though the story that unfolds in my head is often not the one the composer was thinking about." He gets up to score another rumball.

(1d19h) <DICE> Sessine says, "I'm afraid I can't stay for charades. Hate to leave all this - but I do have an appointment for tea. I'll be back tomorrow." He tips a nonexistent hat, thanks the lovely hostess, and leaves.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu snorts a bit in the midst of her giggle, grinning widely at Gorbert. Un-ladylike, but she'll leave it for now. "Oh, I am? I never said this was totalitarian. As I said, there are no formalities.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu frowns a bit and nods, waving to Sessine. "Do tell him hello for me, dear!"

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "Night, Sessine."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin frowns into her empty glass. "Anymore of that stuff you brought, Gorbert?"

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen points at the table. "Only eleven bottles."

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen pulls and one of them is in his hand. He holds it out to Merlin.

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin ducks in, rather embarrassed at having missed so much.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin nods. ""Why thank you." She takes the bottle and pours the liquid in her glass.

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen gives a two-finger salute to Rosin. "Hey, short stuff."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin takes several sips, and waves. "Hallo Rosin. Glad to have you back." she swirls the liquid around in the glass. pretty.

(1d19h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV waves at Rosin before turning to Kit and waving an empty bottle of Jack. "Sorry, Kit. I may have been overzealous with this tonight."

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smirks upon hearing that term and turns to face Gorbert. "Old man."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smirks, shaking her head and giving a wink. "Knew you were gonna, sug. Pay no mind to it." Her voice has suddenly taken a Southern slur to it. Must be the wine.

(1d19h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV winks back. "Thanks, Kit. Maybe I'll work on the Jim then." She's already hunting for that bottle.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu laughs, taking Jade by the shoulder and gently but firmly leading her back to her seat. "I think that's enough for the night, sug. There's tommorow too, y'know."

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles to Kit, making her way over. "So, are drinks still being served?"

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin takes another sip, humming quietly to herself. This stuff is quite nice, quite nice indeed.

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen grins his unnerving Joker grin. "Old I may be, but far less cranky."

(1d19h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty is looking sleepy-eyed with the alcohol in her, though she's not tired. "I'd contest that."

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen raises his eyebrows as he turns to Zolotisty. "Extenuating circumstances notwithstanding," he adds.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin looks sideways at Gorbert, "You are not old, or so I'm told." she stares down at the glass. hmmm.

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen winks. "I said I /may/ be old. Although I'm fairly sure I'm not."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins mischeviously and slinks over to Z's side, surprising her with an affectionate kiss planted on her cheek.

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin sits on the bar, swinging her legs back and forth like a small child.

(1d19h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV shrugs and sits, a tiny bit glassy-eyed but far from drunk. She listens to the conversation around her.

(1d19h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat walks in. "...Huh?"

(1d19h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty is, indeed, surprised.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles and waves flirtatiously to CC, complete with wink. "Hey, welcome back~!"

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin shakes her head at gorbert."You do not know? how strange is that." she grins "Hallo Cheshire Cat!"

(1d19h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat waves back, "Hello, Kit! People seem a bit inebriated..."

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen shrugs. "I could always be wrong."

(1d19h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat downs a quick drink and joins the group.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin takes another sip. "All songs are wrong if you sing them too long."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smirks, beckoning him over. "Can you blame them, with the awesome drinks I mixed up?"

(1d19h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty turns with some interest to Merlin. "Silver."

(1d19h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat grins, "I doubt I could~" He wanders on over to Kit, wondering what for.

(1d19h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat looks to Merlin, then says, "Never been to a Mongolian Epic Song, have we?"

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles as she takes in the condition of the contestants around her.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin looks at Z, her brain scrambling earnestly. " Silver has no rhyme, perhaps they'll find one sometime."

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen isn't sure what that means in relation to his uncertainty regarding his age.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu offers the seat (meaning cushion on the floor) next to her to CC, grinning playfully.

(1d19h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat sits down next to Kit, oblivious at best.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin glares at Z, then glares into her glass, then glares at Z again. "it's not funny" she tries to restrain herself, but the word just spills out. .."Sonny." she glares some more.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu bursts into a gigglefit, gripping onto her cushion.

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen stares at Merlin, perplexed.

(1d19h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat blinks, "What meow?"

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu can't seem to stop herself, face turning red and creased with laugh lines.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin looks at Gorbert, apologetic. No more speaking, not a smart idea. She pushes her glass away

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin folds her legs underneath her as she rests atop the bar. "Merlin, do you always rhyme when 
you're drunk?"

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu is apparently a lightweight when it comes to wine.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin shakes her head. Not talking. nope.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin adds... I hope.

(1d19h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV abandons her chair to make her way towards her hostess. Her cheeks are slightly flushed, but her step is sure. She stops in front of Kit. "Thank you for inviting me, Kit. What a great party."

(1d19h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat feels quite the only sober person here besides Rosin, Gorbert, and Z. Since that's a good part of the party...

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin raises an eyebrow. "So this is a special occasion?"

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins up at Jade, nodding. "I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. Perhaps you'll come back tomorrow?"

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "You're leaving, Jade?"

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin rolls her eyes and mutters. "It happens all the time, this rhyme. " she puts her head in her hands. Why now?

(1d19h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV hugs Kit, pulls back with a smile. "I did, very much so. Good music, good food and good company. I'll try to make it back." She turns to Gorbert. "Yes, time for me to bid goodnight."

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen nods and tips his hat. "Good night, then, Jade."

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin waves to Jade. "Make sure to get some quality sleep."

(1d19h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat pats Kit and waves goodbye to Jade. "Don't worry. I don't think I have too much more life in me either."

(1d19h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty gets to her feet, stretching. "Mnnn. I ought to be off, too, actually." She glances at Merlin with an apologetic smile. "Sorry about that."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu sighs and rests her head on CC's shoulder, smiling quietly. "It is late, after all... Goodnight, Z."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin waves a hand at Zolo. "just don't do it every day, ok?" she smiles

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu 's ears prick up a bit. "Oh, and Z dear?"

(1d19h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV waves to everyone in the room, and has a special salute for Rosin. "Goodnight everyone. Have a good time." Her hand is already searching for her next cigarette before she's even out the door.

(1d19h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria reaches out from nowhere, setting a playing card in the band of Z's hat. He jams his hands into his pockets and walks off, waving goodbye to Akitsu and everyone else.

(1d19h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty fetches her hat. She gives Akitsu an inquiring look. "Yes?"

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu waves goodnight and smiles tiredly.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu beckons Z to follow her into the Kitchen.

(1d19h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty pads after.

(1d19h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat sighs. He's engaged... And then, sweet freedom!

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen sees the card in Z's hat and remembers the Ace of Spades. Still sitting somewhere in his satchel...he needs to retrieve it. A useful tool, that.

(1d19h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat continues to sit there and drink. He meant no offense to Kit, but it was slightly awkward for him.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin picks up her harp case, and stands. slowly, carefully she speaks. "Goodnight Gorbert... Sorry for the rhyming... time." she shakes her head and waves a goodnight to the rest

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "Good night, Merlin. I think I'll head out too. I enjoyed playing with you tonight."

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin mumbles. "Just my luck to show up when everyone else leaves."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu busily sets about the kitchen; an egg here, tabasco there, and so on. After setting all the ingredients on the counter, she takes out a plastic container, 8 oz and drinking glass-shaped.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Merlin nods. She waves a last goodbye and slips off toward IC.

(1d19h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty watches, increasingly trepidated.

(1d19h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat shrugs, "I'll be here a bit longer, Rosin. No worries."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu fixes Z a Prarie Oyster and sets the lid on it, instructing hewr to put it in the fridge. A sheepish smile. "You're going to be needing it tomorrow morning, dear."

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin sighs, her shoulders falling slightly. "But I still missed the entire party." And the food.

(1d19h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty cautiously accepts the curative. "Mnn. Thank you." Maybe the refrigerator in clan hall.

(1d19h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "There's always tomorrow, Ros," as he goes out the door. And the food is still right there, most of it.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles tiredly and nods, stiffling a yawn. "Not a problem. Come back if you need another."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu waves weakly. "Goodnight, Mssr Gorbert~!"

(1d19h) <DICE> The Soloist Zolotisty nods. Giving Kit a hug, she notes that she'll be back tomorrow and heads out with a final goodnight to those present.

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin 's shoulders fall a bit further. "Tomorrow will probably be the same."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu returns the hug and nods again, following her out and closing the door.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu sighs, making her way to one od the opposing couches in the sitting room, flopping down gratefully. "Ugh... Hosting is hard."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu just glares at the typo gremlin until is shakes with fear and runs for its life.

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles and hops down from her perch on the bar, going over to sit next to Kit. "Sorry I missed so much."

(1d19h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat chuckles. "You wonder why I don't really throw parties? It's quite hard."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu arches a brow, glancing sideways at CC with a faint smirk. "I never said I wondered, darlin'."

(1d19h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat watches the two of them. "I think I'll take my leave as well." Putting on a hat from Nowhere, CC grins and walks out. They should have their own time to themselves.

(1d19h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat waves to Kit and Rosin on his way out. "G'night. I'll bring more than just spirits next time."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu nods and smiles one last time, sighing as he leaves.

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin returns CC's wave as he leaves, leaning slightly against Kit.

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu blushes a bit, noticing Rosin next to her for the first time. "... Eh?"

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles. "Long night, eh?

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu nods and leans her head against Rosin's shoulder.

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin puts an arm over Kit's shoulder. "Good to know that there are such nice people about though."

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin shakes her shoulder slightly, nudging her upright. "Come on now, you'll need some real rest if we're to continue this tomorrow."

(1d19h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu yawns quietly and nods, smiling thankfully. She plants a kiss onto Rosin's cheek before hauling herself back to her feet and starts trudging upstairs. "Goodnight, Anata. Thank you..."

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles. "Good night Kit. I'll try to stay for the duration tomorrow."

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin waits on the couch, listening to the sounds from the floor above.

(1d19h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin hears the soft noises from the bedroom cease, replaced by the sounds of sleep. She stands and heads out the door as quietly as she can.

(1d18h) <SPOON> Ahi Koa KK Victoria walks in, nodding to Rosin as he picks up a sleeping Lelila and carries her out without a word to stir her.

(1d7h) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth sneaks in while all is still quiet, and and performs a quick clean up and refresh, re-stocking the Bar and emptying all the trash for 'Kit while she rests.

====== Day Two ======

(1d) <DICE> Miniature Rosin walks in and begins setting out leftover food from last night, warming it over small fires.

(23h59m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin grins at Remus trying to duck under the doorframe and avoid tipping anything over. "If you want, you could arrange seating."

(23h55m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin points Kimmy over to the kitchen. "I'm sure you'll be fine there."

(23h27m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin sniffs at the air as she returns from outside, carrying a rather large covered platter. "Kimmy, is that your food?"

(23h20m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin grins, enjoying the lingering scent of the meat. "No, nothing wrong there."

(23h9m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin sets the platter down, then heads out for another. She'll be bringing something special for tonight.

(22h47m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin holds the door open and ushers Gorbert through, just barely able to fit the 5x5x5 foot cube through the doorframe. "I think we'll be okay setting it down in that corner over there."

(22h36m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen sets it down in that corner over there, as instructed.

(22h35m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smirks slightly. "Not even an 'alright short stuff'?"

(22h34m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "No."

(22h33m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin raises an eyebrow. "What's got you so subdued?"

(22h31m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "Nothing."

(22h31m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen simply doesn't feel very talkative at the moment.

(22h34m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen glances at the burger. "Uh...thanks Kim, but can I have one without barbeque sauce? I can't stand the stuff."

(22h33m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx enters the Library with a huge silver tray of baked clams nestled in it. Breaded and buttered, they are still steaming as she walks in and smiles. "Hello everyone. Where shall I put this?"

(22h32m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles at Cal's entrance. "Hello there. I think there are still a few card tables open."

(22h32m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "In the bedroom."

(22h32m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen winks and grins.

(22h32m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen taps his mouth with a finger. "Or is that oysters?"

(22h31m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx bumps Gorbert with her hip and laughs. "Those are oysters, not clams, now behave!" Her laughter tinkles out.

(22h31m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin looks at Gorbet out of the corner of her eye. "I'd stop while I still had a head, if I were you."

(22h30m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx smiles at Rosin and sets the tray down on one of the card tables, moving some other dishes out of the way first. She notices some rumballs. "I see that Hermein has been by."

(22h29m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen sighs, his perfectly good lewd joke ruined by his ignorance. And Rosin didn't appreciate it. Oh well. He'll see if he can't get her to loosen up later in the evening.

(22h28m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin hopes that Gorbert didn't mean his last sentence to be as lewd as that joke. "We've got the food, now all we need are the people."

(22h28m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen most certainly didn't. He isn't /that/ crass.

(22h28m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx grins. "And since he isn't here, then it's perfectly acceptable for me to monopolize a very handsome man for the evening." She sidles up to Gorbert and winks at him.

(22h27m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "No thanks, Kim. Just a plain hamburger."

(22h27m) <SPOON> The Houdini Hedgehog Titus pads into the house, snuffling quietly at the smell of food, and catches sight of Rosin. He tenses, wary of the Irritable One.

(22h26m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smils and kneels, beckoning to the hedgehog. "Come here Titus."

(22h26m) <SPOON> The Houdini Hedgehog Titus approaches cautiously. It help that she isn't much bigger than him.

(22h25m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen gives Calynx a wink and lopsided grin. "I'll keep you company until one shows up."

(22h30m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin scoops up Titus and ruffles his quills, careful not to prick herself on their sharp points. "Sorry about the last time we met, little guy."   

(22h29m) <SPOON> The Houdini Hedgehog Titus twitches his nose and cuddles against Rosin's arms. Apology accepted, especially if she sneaks him some forbidden treats while Gorbert isn't looking. Maybe a cookie or two.   

(22h29m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx tugs at the brim of his hat. "You, messire, are plenty handsome enough."   

(22h28m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin puts a finger to her lips and withdraws a small sweet from the bag at her hip.   

(22h26m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen shrugs, pretending to look skeptical. "I you say so, milady."   

(22h26m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen frowns at the typo gremlin. "Really, now. This is a private party. Go take your poor sense of humor outside." The gremlin slinks away, slightly abashed.

(22h25m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx pats his cheek. "Come now, you know that you're a handsome rogue. At least I always thought so."

(22h25m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin grins, sneaking the small candy to Titus before turning to Gorbert. "Talking to yourself now, are you Gor?"

(22h25m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen smiles and lifts the burger gratefully. "Thank you, Kim. I love these."

(22h24m) <CDAG> Merlin quietly slips in the door. "Evening everyone." She places another basket on the table, this one is filled with freshly baked pumpkin muffins..

(22h24m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen scowls. "Of /course/ not! Don't be ridiculous. I was talking to the man living in my head."

(22h23m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen winks again at Calynx before turning to greet Merlin. "Evening, Mer."

(22h23m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx grins brightly. "Merlin!" She runs up to hug the newcomer as soon as the basket hits the table.

(22h23m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles and waves to Merlin with her free hand. "Glad you could join us."

(22h22m) <SPOON> The Houdini Hedgehog Titus carefully plucks the treat out of Rosin's finger and scurries off to eat it in secret. If Gorbert sees he'll be quite irritated.

(22h21m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen cants his head. "A talent is a talent, regardless of what it is. And if it's useful, so much the better."

(22h21m) <CDAG> Merlin returns Calynx's hug. "Hallo dear, Haven't seen you in a while it seems." She looks around the room. "Hallo Rosin, Kimmy, Titus." she pauses. "Hallo Gorbert."

(22h20m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen raises an eyebrow. "Everything all right, Merlin?"

(22h25m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx follows the delicious smell of grilling burgers and alights upon Kimmy. "Could I have one please? Those smell divine. Maybe with a bit of bacon, cheese and mushrooms on top?"

(22h25m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin blinks a few times. "Hold on a second..." She snaps her fingers. "Merlin, I have something for you!" She rushes out to the square to retrieve it.

(22h25m) <CDAG> Merlin nods, half-smiling. "For the most part, yes. Just lots of things to think about. But I heard from the sammich and she seems to be happy"

(22h24m) <CDAG> Merlin picks up a muffin, turning it in her hands. "And there's a song that I'm having trouble with' she picks a bite of muffin off. "I don't know how it's going to end."

(22h24m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen looks concerned. "Is she coming back?"

(22h24m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx calls out from the kitchen. "Oh dearest that sounds wonderful! I hope she'll be back soon."

(22h22m) <SPOON> The Houdini Hedgehog Titus returns and finds a friendly lap to hop into. He's such a slut. [ ;) ]

(22h21m) <CDAG> Merlin pops a piece of muffin in her mouth and chews thoughfully. "I hope so."

(22h21m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin approaches Merlin, hands cupped over something. "I made this in the square earlier, I think you should have it."

(22h21m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "Do want searches to continue?"

(22h20m) <SPOON> The Houdini Hedgehog Titus snuggles into Anonymous Person's lap, getting ready to nap for a little while.

(22h20m) <CDAG> Merlin looks slightly puzzled, but holds out her hand.

(22h18m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin places her hands over Merlins and releases what is held inside. A tiny likeness of Merlin herself, made of flower petals, looks up from her book as she changes hands.

(22h16m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen glances at the ceiling. "Sounds like the hostess is awake."

(22h16m) <CDAG> Merlin holds the tiny figurine closer, staring in wonder. " It's beautiful Rosin. Thank you."

(22h16m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx returns to the kitchen in hopes of a burger. In her hand is a baked clam or three that she eats with gusto as she hovers by Kimmy.

(22h15m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles, bowing slightly to Merlin. "No thanks required. You were the inspiration for it, I should be thanking you."

(22h21m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu yawns, running her fingers through her hair before setting it back into a bun, donning her fedora afterwards as she glides downstairs.

(22h20m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx smiles, repeating her request. "Please, with bacon, cheddar and mushrooms if you have it?"

(22h20m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles, arching a brow as she glances around. "Ah, I see that you've returned. I trust everyone is enjoying themselves?" Instant hotess mode. Get one.

(22h19m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx excuses herself before walking up to Akitsu. "Hello, Lady Kit, thank you so much for inviting me."

(22h19m) <CDAG> Merlin looks up from the figurine. "Evening Akitsu. Thank you again for your hospitality." 

(22h18m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles as she sees Kit on the stairs. "Welcome to the party."

(22h17m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx finds herself in possession of a delicious burger with perfectly crips bacon and grilled mushrooms. She sighs at the heavenly concoction. "Thank you, Kimmy."

(22h14m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu nods and dips into a curtsy, smiling at all and sundry.

(22h14m) <CDAG> Merlin carefully holds the figurine and heads over to Gorbert. "I'm sorry I didn't answer your question. I don't think searching is necessary . She'll come back when she's ready. Thank you though"

(22h13m) <DICE> Sessine comes in. "Another batch of spicy lamb skewers, as promised. If Bernard shows up, make sure he gets some, so he knows how I used his cumin." He sees Gorbert. "Ah, hm. There's a question..."

(22h13m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins wryly at Calynx, giggling. "I'm glad you could come by. And it seemed necessary to invite you. After all, I did invite your husband. And I think of you both as dear friends."

(22h13m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen nods and mutters, "Guess I'll have to call off the rats. They won't be happy, they were looking forward to a meal."

(22h12m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu 's ears prick up at the word 'rats, spinning around to give Gorbert a wanring glare. "Ohh, don't you dare!"

(22h11m) <CDAG> Merlin frowns. "rats? did you become the pied piper all of a sudden?"

(22h10m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen frowns at Kit. "Don't I dare what?" He glances at Merlin. "No, I befriended a swarm of rats ages ago. Possibly back when I was a newbie. I don't see them much anymore, though."

(22h10m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen , beset on all sides, finally notices that Sessine has a question. "Yes?"

(22h10m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin shudders at the thought of rats. Big mean things, terrible to the last.

(22h8m) <CDAG> Merlin ponders this. interesting. She looks down, she's still holding the figurine. "um Rosin? How can I keep this safe? "

(22h17m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen disagrees. Some rats are rather tame, and even friendly. There are those, though, that are quite ferocious and vicious.

(22h17m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen still has no idea what Kit's outburst was about.

(22h17m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu 's ears droop a bit, pouting. "I do wish you wouldn't invite them into my home, Mssr. Gorbert."   

(22h16m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx finishes up her burger and goes on to pick at a lamb skewer.

(22h16m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen shakes his head. "No, I didn't bring any rats with me. The Swarm is combing the wilderness, looking for the Sammich. I'll recall them, though. Later."

(22h16m) <DICE> Sessine changes his mind. "I'll catch you later. Remind me, will you?" He apologizes, but, "Can't stay. Hm. Well, maybe... hey, I'll make time for one of those very delicious-smelling burgers, Kimmy!"

(22h16m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin wanders over to Merlin's side. "She's rather fragile, being made of what she is, but she's easy to take care of. Just a bit of water every day and she'll be alright."

(22h15m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen gazes at Sessine. He's acting very peculiar.

(22h14m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu sighs and just shakes her head, wandering over to the bar to pour herself a glass of champagne, left over from last night surprisingly still bubbly. "Would anyone like a drink?"

(22h13m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles at the mentions of a drink and walks over to the bar. "Would you happen to know how to make a big ginger?"

(22h12m) <CDAG> Merlin nods. "Thank you, I shall be sure to keep her quite safe." She shakes her head at Akitsu. "No thank you. I think I'll stay coherent tonight." she shakes her head ruefully.

(22h11m) <DICE> Sessine says, "Yes, please, Akitsu. If I could have some of that champagne, too?"

(22h11m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV walks in and nods at everyone in greeting. Spotting Rosin, she heads for the bar.

(22h11m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen gives Jade a two-finger wave as she walks in.

(22h11m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles at the approaching Jade.

(22h10m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV grins back at Rosin, smiles at Kit. "I told you I'd be along, Ros."

(22h7m) <DICE> Sessine is glad to see Jade. He'd been thinking he'd have to scour the Island looking for her. He relaxes, no longer looking as if he's on the point of leaving.

(22h7m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth enters with a large covered tray, and looks for an empty table.

(22h7m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx moves some dishes by a cardtable and waves Tor over.

(22h6m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin waves to Tor as he enters. "Nice that you could join us. I trust you got the letter?"

(22h11m) <CDAG> Merlin waves a hallo to Jade, then looks around for a safe place to put the petal figurine for now.

(22h10m) <SPOON> The Houdini Hedgehog Titus wakes up due to the commotion and spots Jade when he glances around. He hops off of Anonymous Person's lap and trots over to her.

(22h10m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie strolls in with a grin and lays a smooch on the hostess's cheek. "Hope I'm not too late for the fun?"

(22h9m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth nods his thanks to Caliope and places the tray, then removes the cover to reveal grilled skewers of Teriyaki chicken and Pinapple

(22h9m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen takes a chocolate covered strawberry left over from last night (all of last night's food is still fresh and warm) and walks over to sit near Sessine.

(22h9m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV smiles at Tor before she bends down to pick up Titus, carefully cradling him in her arms. "How are you, buddy? I haven't seen you in forever." She drops a kiss on Titus' head."

(22h8m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie grabs a glass of champagne and a strawberry and mingles with the throng.

(22h8m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth smiles at Rosin, "Indeed I did, thank you. I've been busy, unfortunately, and haven't been able to stop by much before now."

(22h7m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles and lifts herself up onto the bar near Kit. "You made it just in time, Tor."

(22h7m) <SPOON> The Houdini Hedgehog Titus purrs happily (yes, hedgehogs do actually purr).

(22h7m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu blushes a bit and smirks, tsking playfully after Zahnnie. "Careful, darling, or Ros might get jealous," she cremarks with a grin before pouring a glass for Sessine and handing it to him.

(22h7m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx takes two of the Teriyaki chicken and brings one over to Merlin with a grin. "Here, Merlin, these looked so good."

(22h6m) <DICE> Sessine waves a greeting at Jade and Tor, and takes a sip of champagne.

(22h6m) <CDAG> Merlin places the figurine on a nearby shelf and waves at Zahnnie.

(22h6m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV pours herself a glass of whiskey and raises it towards Sessine with a tentative smile.

(22h5m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie winks at Kit, "Nothing to be jealous of, dearest!" She sneaks over to give Merlin a hug.

(22h5m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth asks, "Oh? In time for what?:

(22h4m) <CDAG> Merlin turns, "hmm?" she takes the profferd chicken and breathes deep. ""it smells good." She squeaks a little at the suddenness of Zahnnies ninja hug

(22h4m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smirks, glancing at jade. "Just a glass? You know I saved the whole bottle just for you, right?" She pulls out the still unopened bottle of Jim from last night.

(22h9m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth smiles and winks at Jade.

(22h8m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smirks slightly. "In time for everyone else being here, Tor."

(22h8m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV catches Tor's wink and grins before turning her attention to Kit. "If you leave the bottle here with me, I'll take care of it, Kit."

(22h7m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie offers a TOAST to the lovely hostess!

(22h7m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth grins, "Good. I'd hate to miss everyone else." he chuckles.

(22h6m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie clinks her glass around and takes an appreciative long sip.

(22h6m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen echoes Zahnnie's toast.

(22h6m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles at Zahnnie's toast and lifts a glass, kissing Kit on the cheek.

(22h5m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu laughs and blushes, grinning madly.

(22h5m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV raises her glass towards Kit. She smiles at Rosin and Kit.

(22h4m) <CDAG> Merlin takes a bite of the chicken and her eyes close in delight. "These are wonderful." She smiles at Calynx. "Thanks for sharing with me."

(22h4m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu gives a sheepish smile, spreading her hands in a defensive gesture. "Guys, you really don't have to, but I appreciate it!"

(22h3m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth raises a bottle of 307 Special, and adds his own voice to the toast, "To 'Kit!"

(22h3m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "Nonsense, you were gracious enough to invite us all into your home and serve us drinks. A toast is the least we can do."

(22h3m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie grins, "And it was just such a lovely excuse to get together, you know?"

(22h3m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen raises a bottle of his mysterious blue liquor.

(22h2m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth appears to have brought quite a few of those bottles, as he starts handing them out from his coat pockets.

(22h2m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx me polishes the last of her chicken off and smiles at Merlin. She offers her hand to Zahnnie. "Hello there, I don't think we've met. I'm Calynx - Callie."

(22h2m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie will try any booze once!

(22h2m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu 's blush spreads a bit, darker now as she just smiles, speechless and flattered.

(22h4m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie shakes Calynx's hand warmly. "I'm Zahnnie, it's wonderful to meet you."

(22h4m) <CDAG> Merlin steers clear of the blue liquor, and settles for a glass of water instead. Much safer.

(22h3m) <DICE> Sessine goes over to Jade. "It's good to see you. I, um." He looks down, apologetic. "I think maybe you and I need to have... Sometimes I, you know, mess things up. I think I did, with you."

(22h3m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles and gently ushers Merlin to the cooler filled with ice and soda, along with bottles of water. "I think you'd like these better, dear."

(22h2m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth cautions Zahnnie as he hands her a bottle, "It's a custom blend of 307 ale and Joker Special-- 307 is the proof, so take it slow."

(22h2m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen also greets Zahnnie. "We've never been properly introduced. I'm Gorbert--or possibly Mr. Niploff, I'm not sure."

(22h2m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV seems a bit taken aback. "Ah, well, Sessine. It's...um, no really it's okay. Yeah. We should probably chat sometime about it?" She rubs the back of her neck.

(22h2m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth raises an eyebrow at Jade and Sessine.

(22h1m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins, bumping her hip against Gorbert's playfully as she wanders over to the group.

(22h1m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen also raises an eyebrow, curious and perplexed.

(22h1m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen winks at Kit and kisses her on the cheek.

(22h1m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx whispers to Zahnnie. "Yes, he's actually Mr. Niploff."

(22h1m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu beams, quite proud. "Zahnnie here has also just been promoted within the clan."

(22h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "Congratulations, Zahnnie."

(22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin wanders over to the massive box sitting in the corner. "I think this would be as good a time as any to open this."

(22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles and blushes, offering her trademarked shy smile.

(21h59m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth bows to Lady K, and kisses her hand, "Thank you for the gracious invitation, did you find the party lights to your liking?"

(21h59m) <CDAG> Merlin nods a thank you to kit, and fishes out a bottle of water. She looks toward the box.

(21h59m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx grins. "That's absolutely splendid, Zahnnie. Good show."

(21h59m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie smiles warmly at Gorbert. "Thanks very much! I still can't quite believe I've been given the honor."

(22h2m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie sniffs at the blue liquid and coughs, eyes watering. "Whoooo, that is good stuff!" She dares a tiny sip.

(22h1m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu takes Zahnnie's hand in hers and grins, pulling her into an affectionate hug before nodding to Tor. "I love them, dear. They're absolutely fabulous and they give such good mood lighting!"

(22h1m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin urges all the guests away from the cube, making sure that no one will be injured when it opens.

(22h1m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth nods to Zahnnie, "An honor well suited to you, I should think. Conratulations."

(22h1m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu gently squeezes Tor's hand, smiling graciously. "It was so thoughtful of you, dear. THank you."

(22h1m) <DICE> Sessine nods. "Yes. We should. Let's enjoy the party now, but -- tomorrow? And in the meantime... friends, okay?" He raises his eyebrows hopefully.

(22h1m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV knocks back a whole glass of whiskey behind the bar.

(22h) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie snuggles into Kit's arms and squeezes back happily. "Whoa whoa whoa, blue stuff," she giggles. "That is sure something!"

(22h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin raps the side of the box with her knuckles and the edges crack, opening slowly.

(22h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV winces as the liquor goes down and smiles at Sessine. "Yes, tomorrow."

(22h) The box unfolds, revealling a scale model of The Library made from various sweets.

(21h59m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu laughs and playfully gives Zahnnie a twirl, as if dancing with her in a grand ballroom. "Easy, sug."

(21h59m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin grins, motioning to the cottage. "Eat as you like."

(21h59m) The windows of the house are made from thin panes of sugar, and there are even small chocolate and marzipan tables.

(21h59m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie spins happily, unfurling her wings a bit and bludgeoning only a few nearby partygoers with the ungainly things.

(21h59m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu blinks, glancing past the crowd to peer at the new confection. She gasps with delight and beams, approving.

(21h58m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie apologizes, "Oops, sorry."

(21h58m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen stares in awe at the sugary cottage.

(21h58m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx marvels at the sweet replica of the library. She tugs at Merlin's arm. "Look, there are tiny books in there!"

(21h58m) <DICE> Sessine grins a relieved grin back at Jade.

(22h3m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu gently tugs at Zahnnie's hand and reels her back in, steadying her.

(22h2m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie applauds the lovely candy cottage!

(22h2m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles, bowing to the crowd. She motions to Gorbert, "I had some assistance getting it here."

(22h2m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV 's shoulders sag with an equal measure of relief. She hazards a larger smile at Sessine.

(22h2m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth applauds enthusiastically at the un-veiling, "You are most welcome, Kit. I'm glad they were well recieved. That miniature is simply stupendous, don't you think?"

(22h2m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie lays her head on Kit's shoulder and smiles. "It really will be hard to let this place go, won't it?"

(22h2m) <CDAG> Merlin stares, "Wow. That's wonderful." so delicate and beautiful

(22h2m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen waves his hand. "Assistance getting it here, but that hardly means anything. Well done, Ros."

(22h1m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles happily, grinning ear to ear. "My sentiments exactly, Anata."

(22h1m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin blushes slightly at all the praise.

(22h1m) <SPOON> The Houdini Hedgehog Titus hops out of Jade's arms to get a closer look at the candy masterpiece. Gorbert nudges him away from it with his foot.

(22h1m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth offers Gorbert a bottle of 307 Special, "Trade, my friend?"

(22h) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen shrugs. "Sure. Be careful with this stuff, it's very strong." Then again, so is 307. "It's great for mixing with 307 Special, incidentally."

(21h59m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV comes out from behind the bar with another full glass of whiskey in hand. She hugs Rosin. "Great job, Ros. Really gorgeous."

(21h59m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu arches a brow, stepping forward to gently scoop Titus into her arms, pouting playfully. "I invite you and not even a greeting? For shame, dear."

(21h58m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin squeaks slightly as she's pulled into Jade's surprise hug. "It was nothing, really."

(21h58m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie takes a second sip of the blue stuff and giggles madly. "This tastes like butterflies," she whispers loudly to Kit.

(21h58m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx wanders away to get two plates of baked clams. She comes back to hand one to Merlin and one to Zahnnie. "I made these." She grins.

(21h57m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu laughs, grinning like a fool at Zahnnie's antics before watching Rosin and Jade again.

(21h57m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV chuckles. "Nothing she says. So modest too."

(21h59m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie LOVES clams! "Ooh, these smell heavenly," she admires them. She takes a bite- stupendous!

(21h58m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth grins and bows, "Coming from you, that's a warning best heeded, and high praise indeed." He sips the Blue and his brows lift appreciatively.

(21h58m) <SPOON> The Houdini Hedgehog Titus feels bad now.

(21h58m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen looks perplexed. "...Butterflies?"

(21h58m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu nods, making her way over to the two. "I know, right? She's even worse than I am, perhaps."

(21h58m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie decides to at last unveil her confectionary gift: lemon cheesecake bars, with a graham cracker base, lemon cheesecake, and lemon curd on top. She offers the plate to Kit with a shy smile.

(21h57m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin squirms slightly in Jade's grasp, her face turning a nice shade of crimson.

(21h57m) <CDAG> Merlin looks at the clams, "We'll I'm not going to go home hungry if you keep feednig me Calynx." she laughs and tries a clam. "Very tasty. Such excellent cooks we have here."

(21h57m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles, taking the plate gratefully with a free hand, stull cuddling Titus in her other arm. "Lemony fresh, huh? How lovely."

(21h56m) <SPOON> The Houdini Hedgehog Titus rubs his head against Kit's arms.

(21h56m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie 's lemon bars are perhaps a bit over-sweet, but definitely tasty and good with champagne. "I tried," she says modestly.

(21h56m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV turns Rosin loose with a short laugh.

(21h55m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie will perfect the recipe, next time!

(21h55m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth Gently disentangles Rosin from Jade's grasp with a wink, "Now now, Rosin, don't be hogging all of Jade's hugs for yourself."

(21h55m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins, giving a kiss to Titus' before kissing Zahnnie's cheek as well. "They're fabulous, darling. Why don't we put these on the table, hm?"

(21h54m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin hides behind Kit, peeking out at the others.

(21h54m) <CDAG> Merlin waves away the gremlin, and takes another bite. "how have you been Calynx? Oh, tell Hermein thank you again for me, but that it's no longer necessary to search for the sammich."

(21h54m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen rebukes, "Now Tor, don't let Jade keep you all to herself," and kisses him full on the lips.

(21h54m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie whips around to look at Merlin. "Has The Princess been found then?" she says eagerly.

(21h53m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu just stares for a moment before bursting into full on giggles, cheering wildly and applauding.

(22h) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie laughs at Gorbert's antics.

(22h) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV tries and fails to cover up her laughter.

(22h) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu sets Titus down first, of course.

(22h) <CDAG> Merlin tilts her head sharply at Gorbert and Tor. What?

(21h59m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen bows to all company.

(21h59m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx nods at Merlin. "He'll be happy to hear that." She turns her head to catch the last bit.

(21h59m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smirks. "Such a cute couple, don't you agree?"

(21h59m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth turns the tables and sweeps Gorbert off his feet as he retuns the Kiss with interest. then says, "I didn't know you cared..." with a wink.

(21h59m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin giggles from behind Kit, watching Gorbert. "I knew you would return that kiss eventually."

(21h59m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "I don't care. At all. I'm only attracted to your body."

(21h59m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie laughs and cheers the happy pair on.

(21h58m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV buries her head in her hand, laughing still.

(21h58m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu wolf whistles, whipping out a camera from under her hat just in time to take a picture or two.

(21h58m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth huffs and rolls his eyes with exaggeration, "Typical Male!"

(21h58m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen bows again and disappears. He will be back in short order.

(21h58m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin covers her mouth with a hand, attempting to keep from breaking out in a gigglefit.

(21h57m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smirks, clapping a comforting hand on Tor's shoulder. "Don't worry. He doesn't mean it."

(21h57m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx whispers to Merlin. "Honestly, someone has to keep an eye on Gorbert. First Hermein and now, Tor."

(21h57m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie is just going to step out for a bit of fresh air, and will be back in a few.

(21h56m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth chukles, "I know. I have it on good autority that I'm irresistable." he winks at Jade.

(22h6m) <CDAG> Merlin whispers, "He better be careful, or some lovely satirical ballad might be fluttering around in his honor." she grins

(22h5m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu says laughs and plants a kiss on Tor's cheek. "Of course, darling."

(22h5m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu frowns and stomps a typo gremlin underfoot before kicking it under the carpet.

(22h4m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV is drinking her whiskey and staring at Tor over the rim of her glass. "I wonder who told you that, Tor NaGoth?" Her eyebrow arches up, a hint of a smile on her lips.

(22h3m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth smirks, "That would be telling."

(22h3m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin looks between the others and the sugar cottage. No one, not even her, seems to want to disturb it in the slightest.

(22h2m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu sighs and glances at the grandfather clock by the mantle. Drat. She was hoping Uncle would show up by now...

(22h1m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen breaks off the chimney and eats it. Oh yeah, he's back now.

(22h) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie was hoping that too...

(21h59m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin giggles at Gorbert's blunt approach. Now that someone else has started, she goes for the door. Dark chocolate.

(21h59m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie sighs, "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I need to turn in now... quite sleepy!" She yawns widely.

(21h59m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu gasps, glancing at Gorbert in horror. Here comes that awkward silence again...

(21h59m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie lays a kiss on Kit's cheek. "Thanks again for having us all."

(21h58m) <CDAG> Merlin waves. "Goodnight Zahnnie. See you later"

(21h58m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen is always blunt. Usually.

(21h58m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu gives Zahnnie a one-armed cuddle. "My pleasure, sug."

(21h58m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "Bye, Zahn."

(21h58m) <CDAG> The Delightful Zahnnie waves goodnight to all and poofs.

(21h57m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV pads over to one of the cardtables to inspect a teriyaki chicken skewer. She takes two and hands one to Tor.

(21h57m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen raises an eyebrow at Kit. "It was made to be eaten." 

(21h59m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin grins, handing half the door to Kit. "Come on, it was meant for people to eat it."

(21h58m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu sighs, just shaking her head. "True... I suppose I can made an unedible replica."

(21h58m) <SPOON> The Houdini Hedgehog Titus would probably eat that.

(21h58m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin looks over at Gorbert, locking eyes for a moment before giggling. "Come on everyone, we can't leave it here forever." She already has a less sugary model sitting in the <DICE> kitchen.

(21h57m) <CDAG> Merlin ponders for a moment, before taking a couple of roof tiles off and slipping them into her mouth. caramel and chocolate, very tasty.

(21h57m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles quietly and shrugs, backing off and letting her guests enjoy themselves.

(21h56m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx nabs some of the tiny tomes and bites into them. Sugared jellies in each one.

(21h56m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen won't let Kit back off. He seizes her and carries her back to the center of the crowd. "Come on, Kit, have some too."

(21h55m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu 's eyes widen, blushing slightly. "Kyah! Mssr., really, it's quite alright...." She smiles sheepishly.

(21h55m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth Smiles as he takes the Skewer from Jade, "Hello. Fancy meeting you here."

(21h54m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu blinks, suddenly remembering something. She stares at Gorbert pointedly. "Didn't I tell you I only allow one single person to carry me like this?"

(21h54m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV looks surprised. "Yes, imagine that. What a coincidence!"

(21h53m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin leans against Kit, looking up at her with a smile. "Well, I'm a bit short on strength at the momen."

(21h53m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu arches a brow, glancing down at Rosin. "Actually, I wasn't talking about you."

(21h52m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu frowns inwardly, wincing. That came out wrong. Too rude.

(21h52m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smirks. "Oh? Do tell who."

(21h52m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "Yes, I believe you did. Twice, actually. But I tend to ignore such warnings when it's for the good of the person providing them."

(21h51m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth chuckles, and a couple of the pineapple skewers drift over as well, "They go great with the chicken. Some sort of misunderstanding?" he asks with a nod toward Sessine.

(21h51m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu blushes, shrugging. "He happens to be sleeping at the moment, dear."

(21h50m) <CDAG> Merlin pulls a few more roof tiles off of the cottage then wanders over to a chair and sits, quietly eating each tile slowly.

(21h52m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin raises an eyebrow, looking up at her wife innocently.

(21h51m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu clears her throat, glancing elsewhere nervously. "Erm... Mssr.? Could you be so kind as to put me down now?"

(21h51m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "What? Oh. I suppose so."

(21h51m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen sets her down.

(21h51m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV glances over at Sessine and hurriedly answers. "No, no...not like that. We just need to talk sometime."

(21h50m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu sighs, setting to put her skirts to rights again. "Erm, yes. Thank you, dear."

(21h49m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx retrieves two glasses of wine and sets one down by Merlin in case she wants one. "This is just some white wine, dear. Shouldn't be too bad at all."

(21h49m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen cocks his head. "Would anyone care to dance?"

(21h48m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu scampers off into the kitchen, disappearing for her own good. Dancing is hazardous in everyone else's health, in her case.

(21h48m) <CDAG> Merlin picks up the glass and nods in thanks. She takes a sip and nods again. "will do quite nicely, thank you."

(21h48m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth Shrugs and smiles, "As you will have it. Just curious." Tor know Jade can handle herself, even with Sessine.

(21h47m) <CDAG> Merlin says, "But we have no music, Gorbert."

(21h47m) <DICE> Sessine says, "By the way, Kit, I've been meaning to get together with you to show you that little trick to protect your silks from water damage. Remind me when you have a free moment."

(21h47m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin climbs atop the bar and puls her violin from her back. "Why would you say that, Merlin?"

(21h46m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV smiles easily and takes a bite out of her pineapple. She looks at Tor. "So, did these happen just like that?" She snaps her fingers. "Or did you actually make them? They're good."

(21h46m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu peeks out from the doorway, smiling at Sessing nervously. "Actually, you already showed me. In the Grounds, remember?"

(21h46m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth clears a small space, and sits down at his Harpsichord, "I'll be happy to provide music."

(21h46m) <CDAG> Merlin shakes her head. "I'm not sure, Rosin. My mistake."

(21h44m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles, resting her bow across the violin's strings. "Does anyone have a request? A waltz? A good ol' fashion ho-down?"

(21h44m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth grins at Jade, "I had to conjure some of the ingredients, but the preparation was done by hand."

(21h49m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "Any kind of slow dancing, I suppose."

(21h48m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin nods to Gorbert, her bow gliding across the strings in a slow song.

(21h48m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV wrinkles her nose at Tor. "I could have helped you. I could at least skewer chicken and pineapple."

(21h48m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth nods to Rosin, and starts a Stately Waltz

(21h47m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx smiles when the music starts. She claps her hands. "I demand to see dancing. This is a party, after all."

(21h46m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth talks quietly to Jade as he plays, "True, but didn't you bring something last night?"

(21h46m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "Well, who will dance with me?"

(21h46m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu sighs, smiling in relief, and starts out towards the bar, taking her place behind it and fixing up a trayful of various cocktails, all very simple with champagne or wine as a base ingredient.

(21h45m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smirks. "Aren't you glad Lelila isn't here to take you up on that offer?"

(21h45m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles at Kit from her perch atop the bar as she works.

(21h45m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu offers the tray to the crowd as she passes through.

(21h44m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "Only if she had had a bottle of whiskey."

(21h44m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx smiles and walks over to Gorbert. "If I could have this dance, Mssr. Vanhousserhoffen?"

(21h44m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen takes her hand and puts his other around her waist. "I would be delighted."

(21h43m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV smiles at Tor and stands by the harpsichord. "Yes, I did, but that was mostly Gorbert tolerating my ineptitude in the kitchen."

(21h43m) <CDAG> Merlin sips her wine slowly, listening to the music float around the room.

(21h43m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles, smiling as she works her way through until the tray if empty. Satisfied, she makes her way back to the bar to watch in amused silence.

(21h43m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen calls, "No, it was Gorbert assisting you with a dish."

(21h42m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV waves a hand at Gorbert. "Go dance and leave me to tell my tale of woe."

(21h41m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin increases the tempo of the music slightly, grinning at Gorbert and Calynx.

(21h46m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu frowns playfully. "Oh, stop that. You did a damn good job for a beginner. Be proud of yourself."   

(21h45m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen nods, not taking his attention off of Calynx. "What she said."   

(21h45m) <DICE> Sessine says, "May I have this dance, Mademoiselle Jade?"   

(21h44m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx keeps up with Rosin's music, smiling at Gorbert. "Yes, a good thing too. It's been a while since we've danced, you and I."   

(21h44m) <SPOON> The Houdini Hedgehog Titus hops on top of the harpsichord and watches the dancers from his perch.   

(21h44m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth smiles wryly, "So you wish to inflict you ineptitude on /my/ kitchen?"

(21h44m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV nods at Sessine. "Of course." She moves away from the harpsichord and follows Sessine to the dancefloor.

(21h44m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "Yes, it has been. The last time was...around the time of CMJ's engagement, I think. Then you left to dance with Hermein and I believe I was stuck with a thoroughly drunk Lelila.""

(21h43m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smirks, nudging Tor gently. "Don't tease her, dear."

(21h43m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV looks over Sessine's shoulder and calls out to Tor, "I said I could skewer. AND, I believe it was you that suggested cooking lessons." She turns back towards Sessine with a smile.

(21h43m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu then scoops Titus into her arms. Poor little guy needs some affection, it seems.

(21h42m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen smiles. "We should dance more often."

(21h41m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx smiles at the memory. "Indeed, we should. You are a fine dancer. Why I remember catapaulting across outposts just to dance with you."

(21h41m) <DICE> Sessine steps in time to Rosin's music. "You're 'ept' at so many things, Jade. Nobody can do everything. Zolotisty says the bagpipes are not for her."

(21h41m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth smiles and winks at 'Kit. Clearly, he knew her response before she spoke, "I did. I just didn't realize how badly you needed them." he replies

(21h41m) <CDAG> Merlin smiles into her glass at the mention of Zolo and bagpipes.

(21h40m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles at the dancers. Alas, she is too short to dance and thus will only play music.

(21h40m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV actually laughs at this and nods. "Well I suppose I'm 'ept' at some things, yes." Her feet mirror Sessine's steps.

(21h40m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu arches a brow, glancing down at Tor with a puzzled expression. REally shouldn't confuse the poor dear, simple as she is.

(21h40m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen knows that painting, knitting, and anything other than violin are not for him.

(21h44m) <SPOON> The Houdini Hedgehog Titus burrows into Kit's arms.   

(21h43m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV rolls her eyes and tells Tor as she and Sessine whirl by. "Fine, I won't mess with your kitchen."   

(21h43m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth would laugh if he knew Kit's thought. Simple is not a word he would ever choose to describe Jade.

(21h42m) <DICE> Sessine says, "And, you know, if you keep trying... For instance," he says hopefully, "I do believe I'm starting to get the hang of this knitting thing."

(21h42m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth sticks out his tongue at Jade inan impish display, "Guess the lessons will be at your place, then.

(21h42m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen believes Kit was referring to herself, not Jade.

(21h42m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu was actually describing herself, but hey, everyone to their own.

(21h41m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu also believes Mssr. Gorbert should stay out of her head.

(21h41m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx looks past Gorbert at Sessine. "Are you really now? I would love to see your progress. I haven't knitted myself since Lelila's first lesson with you." She moves easily with Gorbert.

(21h40m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin thinks Kit is anything but simple. But doesn't say anything about it because there is no conversation going on. The music still plays.

(21h40m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth would apologize for confusing their host, but..it appears he's easily confused himself.   

(21h40m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen would say the same to Kit.

(21h39m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV twirls around with Sessine. He does have elegant carriage, this one. "Oh, Tor...I like my kitchen. It's meant to be nice. And clean. I don't want to wreck it."

(21h39m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu would giggle and smile in amusement, but, as mentioned, there is no actual conversation.

(21h39m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu instead simply cuddles Titus and gives him scritches as she watches the dancers.

(21h38m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth grins, "I'd be sure to repair any damage... for a suitable fee, of course."

(21h38m) <DICE> Sessine guides their steps back near Calynx and Gorbert, and says to Calynx, "I'm nearly finished the sweater. I'll be presenting it soon."

(21h38m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin leans against the fourth wall of the cottage, providing a bit of needed support for it. "Come on now, let's have more dancing!" Two couples is not enough.

(21h37m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx smiles widely at Sessine. "Oh how I wish I could see her face when she sees the sweater!" She whispers to Gorbert. "Do not let me monopolize your time, Messire."

(21h37m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smirks, arching a brow. "I'm afriad the only ones left are me and Titus, dear."

(21h40m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen raises an eyebrow. "Who else would I dance with?"   

(21h40m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen says, "You're the only one who offered."   

(21h39m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth leaves the Harpsichord to play on its own, and moves to stand before Merlin, "Shall we dance?"   

(21h39m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV mouths 'Fine, charge me why don't you.' at Tor.   

(21h38m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles. That's more like it.   

(21h38m) <DICE> Sessine says, "Oh, that might be arranged. She says I can present it in public. Other people might want to be there, too. I was thinking, IC."   

(21h37m) <CDAG> Merlin looks up from her thoughts, "dancing?...um, sure." she sets down her wine glass and stands. "I apologize to your toes in advance for any steppings on that might occur."   

(21h37m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth simply winks at Jade as he awaits Merlin's response. 

(21h37m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx 's excitement shines through her eyes, she practically bobs on her feet as she dances. "That would be lovely. I shall endeavor to be there, just to see the look on Zolotisty's face."   

(21h36m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth bows, and Leads Merlin onto the floor. He keeps the steps simple to start so she can follow more easily. "No apologies necessary."   

(21h34m) <CDAG> Merlin smiles and tries to follow along as best she can. "I just seem to be able to make music better than I dance to it."   

(21h33m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV smiles at Sessine as he leads her into a turn. She slips easily underneath his arm and catches him once more at the return.   

(21h32m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin ups the tempo just a bit. The melody is light and sweet.

(21h32m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth smiles, "Just step with the rhythm. I'll guide you."

(21h31m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen follows along with Rosin's increase in tempo. He twirls Calynx around and tosses her straight up, catching her as she descends.   

(21h31m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles faintly, seating herself now and setting Titus in her lap, free to move or leave if he pleases. She closes her eyes, swaying gently as she listens.

(21h30m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx giggles with delight as Gorbert catches her. "Oh my, that was fun."

(21h29m) <CDAG> Merlin nods, and relaxes slightly, letting Tor lead her in the dance. "right. Thank you"

(21h29m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu blinks her eyes open, grinning a bit as an idea comes to her.

(21h29m) <SPOON> The Houdini Hedgehog Titus makes a nest out of Kit's skirts and takes a quick nap.

(21h29m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen 's intensity is building. He whirls around the room with Calynx, nimbling dancing around and between the other couples. Faster and faster he goes. Something strange flickers through his eyes.

(21h28m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin nods to Kit. Quite the idea she just had.

(21h28m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles, nodding to Rosin.

(21h27m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu sets Titus on a soft pillow before standing to go to Rosin.

(21h27m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin changes her tune, a playfully dark tune.

(21h27m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx 's skirts billow outwards as she follows Gorbert in a traveling dance around the room.

(21h26m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV eyes Rosin curiously over Sessine's shoulder.(21h26m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles in delight before lending her voice to the music, a sort of waltz, if you will.

(21h26m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles at Kit and winks.

(21h25m) <SPOON> The Houdini Hedgehog Titus shuffles around the pillow before settling down again.

(21h24m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu sings, "As above, so below.... Place your bets, which way the head will roll. Made in your image, we... are, at least, as twisted and mean as thee..."

(21h23m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu gestures as she continues, grinning mischeviously. "For your eyes, what a curious sight! Your children have turned on you. And you say, you can't sleep well at night. Well, we'll take care of th

(21h22m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu coughs, picking up where she left off, "Well, we'll take care of that for you."

(21h22m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles, swaying along with the song.

(21h21m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV smiles and picks up the tempo accordingly. She and Sessine grapevine together before twirling when they stop. The steps are quicker, sharper.

1h20m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin twirls across the top of the bar, then nods to Kit.

(21h20m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen grips Calynx tightly, the strange song inciting him to further intensity. Green and blue flames flicker into existence around him.

(21h19m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu chuckles darkly, glancing in the mirror. "Belle Marie... Antoinette... Love the pearls," She lays a hand on her ropes of pearls, twisting them. "They'll make a great tourniquet!"

(21h17m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smirks, continuing her song. "Never did, as you should. And you claimed it was all for our very own good. 'Twas a lie! A magnificent lie..."

(21h17m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx raises her eyebrows at Gorbert, but follows along wherever he leads them. She quickens her steps in time with the song.

(21h24m) <CDAG> Merlin continues to follow Tor, but the quickness in tempo makes it a little hard to keep up. She grins apolgetically.   

(21h23m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu sways, getting more into the lyrics. "And now, your subjects have turned on you. And you claim, you have lots on your mind. Well, we'll take care of that for you!"   

(21h23m) <DICE> Sessine rather enjoys this danse macabre. "Too bad Chauvelin can't be here for this," he murmurs to Jade.   

(21h22m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV tilts her head at Sessine in amusement. "I haven't heard him called Chauvelin in quite a while. I almost expect to see Uncle Bernard capering about."   

(21h22m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen takes a step behind him and above the floor. He pulls Calynx with him onto air. But he isn't content with simply dancing off the floor. The next step he takes is angled.   

(21h20m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smirks, getting to the chourus now. "Get that damn thing off her neck! I'm the head of the board and I'm bored of her head." She sways, twirling with the music.

(21h19m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu continues, grinning like a fiend. "Sharpen up the blade, boys! What're you waiting for? Here's where we all get a... head." She giggles, smiling apologetically at the bad pun.

(21h19m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen and Calynx are tilted in midair. He hasn't slowed down at all, and continues to angle his steps, not simply taking them through a loop, but twisting and spinning in all directions.

(21h19m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx tosses her head, the flowers in her hair fly about, securing her long locks as she and Gorbert take to dancing askew from the floor.

(21h18m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen and Calynx look like they're spinning in a zero-g environment. It's extremely disorienting, but Gorbert pays no notice.

(21h17m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu takes a more angsty tone, semi-dramatic. Woe. "All my troubles... All my pain... Stems from this, thing that you call a brain. Be my guest... Sever me... from the source of all my agony..."

(21h16m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth simply smiles at Merlin, and shkes his head as Gorbert takes to the air "You're doing fine, Merlin. No broken toes yet."

(21h15m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx 's jaw is set. She focuses on Gorbert and not on the whirling room around them.

(21h15m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu arches a brow, an expression of strange relief on her face. "What a shame, I've forgotten my name... without the use of my brain! And, my...! Guess I'll sleep well tonight..."

(21h14m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV looks a little worriedly at Calynx.

(21h14m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins, finishing the stanza. "... Without this head of mine!"

(21h14m) <DICE> Sessine says, "Such a cheerful waltz tune, such beautifully twisted lyrics." He sings along with the chorus under his breath.

(21h14m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen is somewhere else, lost in memories of other dances. The memories fuel his passion and he pours it forth into this dance.

(21h14m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles as she paces the bar in step with the song.

(21h12m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx starts turning pale and whispers, "Gorbert, darling, could you put us down please? I'm afraid my head can't take this."

(21h16m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu goes back into the chorus, smiling at Sessine. "Get this damn thing off my neck! I'm the head of the board and I'm bored of my head. Sharpen up the blades, boys! What're you waiting for?"   

(21h15m) <CDAG> Merlin laughs. "Thank you for your encouragement, Tor. I'm glad to hear I've not hurt you too badly"   

(21h15m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV grins and wordlessly mouths the lyrics.

(21h15m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu continues, blissfully unaware. "Here's where we all get a... head. Wipe that damn smile off your face! Or we'll lop it off clean with out new guillotine! Sharpen up the blade, boys!"

(21h14m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen opens his eyes suddenly and sees what's going on. They both settle back onto the floor. "My apologies, milady," he murmurs. "I wasn't entirely myself."

(21h13m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins, slowing down a bit. "What're you waiting for? Here's where we all get ahead... Bells will be tolling, Heads will be rolling..."

(21h13m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx 's color returns to her face as they settle back down. "It's quite alright, you got us down just in time." Her smile returns as well.

(21h13m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin greatly increases the tempo with a grin.

(21h12m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu nods to Rosin, who suddenly picks up the pace in a quick and darkly cheerful tune.

(21h12m) <CDAG> Merlin throws Rosin a half hearted glare. "don't make this harder than it is please."

(21h11m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu guestures to Sessine, grinning. "Please Sir, for me, Sir, Won't you see if you see, Sir? Oh dear, I dread I seem to have lost my head."

(21h11m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen separates from Calynx. "Forgive me, but this song is going on too long. I can't finish it. It was a pleasure dancing with you again."

(21h10m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu continues, clapping in beat with the music. It just fits. "I think I left it about, It fell to the ground and I kicked it around. Has anyone seen, no need to be mean, My bloody, fat, ugly head?"

(21h10m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx kisses Gorbert on the cheek. "A pleasure as well. Goodnight, messire."

(21h9m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen tips his hat to everyone gathered, looking a bit somber. "Good night."

(21h9m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu waves goodbye to Gorbert, dancing about as she turns her attention to Merlin. "Please Miss, for me, Sis, Won't you see if you see, Sis? It's got black hair and it's kickin' about in the square.."

(21h9m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen picks up Titus on his way out.

(21h8m) <CDAG> Merlin waves over Tor's shoulder. "Goodnight gorbert!"

(21h8m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu continues, beaming as the end draws near. "I'm really not totally sure, but I think that it might have rolled into the sewer. Has anyone seen, no need to be mean, My bloody, fat, ugly head?"

(21h8m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV calls out, "Night, Gorbert."

(21h17m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx skips to the bar for another glass of wine.   

(21h17m) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat wanders on in wearing slacks, vest, coat and a raincoat on top. He nods to the party and then sits down with everyone.   

(21h16m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin halts the song sharply, giggling madly atop the bar.   

(21h16m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins, giving a kiss to Rosin's cheek in thanks for indulging her, then dashes over to CC to greet him. "Darling, you made it!"   

(21h15m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV bows to Sessine then bursts into applause for Rosin and Kit.   

(21h15m) <DICE> Sessine stops and applauds Kit as the song ends. He grins at Jade. "Thank-you, that was a great pleasure."   

(21h15m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV inclines her head towards Sessine with a grin of her own. "Likewise."   

(21h14m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx joins in on the applause before going back to her wine.   

(21h14m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles and dips into a graceful curtsy, in a way mimicking Jade mimicking her in an event past. "Thank you, thank you! And please, a cheer for Rosin and her wonderful playing!"   

(21h14m) <CDAG> Merlin nods to Tor at the song's end. "thank you very much for your help" she claps for Kit and rosin as well.   

(21h14m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth bows to Merlin with a flourish, "A pleasure, Lady Merlin."   

(21h13m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin bows, holding her violin and bow to opposite sides.   

(21h13m) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat gives Kit a big hug. The hostess deserves it. A shame he missed the song, really.   

(21h12m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu blushes, giggling as she returns the embrace.   

(21h12m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV catches Merlin's eye and smiles.   

(21h12m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth yawns prodigously, and his eyes grow wide, "Oh my... it seems the day has caught up with me. Good night everyone, and thank-you, Lady Akitsu, for being such a gracious host."   

(21h11m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles, nodding. "It was my pleasure to have you, dear. Please feel free to come by any time you like."   

(21h10m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin waves her goodnight to Tor, packing up her violin in its case for the moment.   

(21h10m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx waves goodbye to Tor, still hanging on to an almost empty wine glass.   

(21h10m) <CDAG> Merlin grins at Jade then walks over to the shelf and gently picks up her figurine. "good night Tor. " she smiles. "I really must be off as well. Thank you Kit! good night everyone."

(21h14m) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat probably won't stay long, and hopes no one minds if he accidentally pulls his famous disappearing act.

(21h13m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth nods, and Bows to Kit, Rosin, Melin, and finally, with an extra flourish, Jade, before turning to depart.

(21h13m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu pouts as cutely as possible at CC, ears drooping. How can one resist that face?!

(21h12m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen returns briefly. "I forgot to thank you for inviting me, Akitsu. You hosted a fantastic party."

(21h12m) <DICE> Questor Tor NaGoth manges to bow to Calynx as well before he makes it out the door.

(21h12m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV smiles and waves goodnight to Tor.

(21h12m) <DICE> Sessine smiles at Rosin and applauds her, too. "Kit, I'm afraid I must be going now. This has been a wonderful party. Thank-you so much! And I'm surely going to have that song in my head for days..."

(21h12m) <CDAG> Merlin nods once, and slips out the door.

(21h11m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin steps down off the bar and walks over to the sugary replica of the house, taking a few windows. "Take some cottage with you, don't want it going to waste!"

(21h11m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins, mischeviously at Sessine. "Good. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. And I'm glad someone recognized the song."

(21h11m) <DICE> Gorbert Vanhousserhoffen kneels before Kit and kisses the back of her hand. "Have a pleasant night, milady." He smiles at Rosin and departs again.

(21h10m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx deposits her wine glass at the bar. She stops over and picks at the side wall, breaking off a piece to take with her. She stops by Akitsu. "My thanks again, Kit, for inviting me."

(21h10m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu also smiles at Gorbert, kissing his cheek before he leaves.

(21h9m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV waves goodnight to everyone and calls out to Kit and Rosin. "Glad I was invited. Great party you two. Great song as well."

(21h9m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu nods to Calynx. "My pleasure. Have a good night, dear."

(21h8m) <DICE> Sessine doesn't stand on ceremony, but snaffles several delicious bits of roof for the road, and is happily munching them on his way out the door.

(21h8m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins and waves to Jade. "Glad you enjoyed it!"

(21h8m) <SPOON> Linnean Artist Calynx smiles and nods at Rosin before quietly slipping away.

(21h8m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin returns nods and waves before looking around. Seems everyone but CC has left.

(21h7m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu 's pout of cuteness has a lot of power to it, apparently.

(21h12m) <DICE> Enigmatic Jade XXIV has purloined some flooring and roofing before she left with a grin at Rosin on her way out.   

(21h10m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles. That pout is quite potent. "Well missieur, will you be partaking in the candy cottage?"   

(21h7m) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat bites his lip. He's still a bit fazed. Darnit!   

(21h6m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles and plants several kisses on CC's cheeks, cuddling him happily. "Kyah~! Isn't he adorable, Anata?"   

(21h6m) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat thinks, "Candy Cottage?"   

(21h4m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin gestures to the sugar replica of the cottage they're currently standing in. It's been half eaten, but that was its purpose.   

(21h4m) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat would like to declare that statement instead. Though, he's a bit surprised at the moment.   

(21h2m) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat breaks off a bit of the cottage and eats it, ears twitching.   

(21h) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat finally says something, "Thanks for the compliments and fine party, Kit!" He's attempting to buy himself some time to get coherent. Or at least somewhat to the point he usually is.   

(21h) <DICE> Miniature Rosin grins at CC,taking a bit of staircase for herself. One part of the miniature cottage has remained completely untouched.   

(20h58m) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat grins himself, then rips it off his face and places it on top of Rosin's.   

(20h58m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu yawns, leaning her head against CC's shoulder with eyes closed, completely worn out. Poor thing.    

(20h57m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles and lightly takes Kit's hand, leading her over to the sugar replica. "There's something I've got to show you before you go to sleep."   

(20h56m) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat changes from male to female, giving Kit light scritches while she rests a moment. It's how Rosin remembered her. She helps Kit up and lets Rosin handle the rest.   

(20h56m) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat smiles at Rosin, "You know, it really is quite good."

(20h55m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin nods her head to CC. "Thank you."

(20h55m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu blinks sleepily, mewling in protest at being led from her comfy spot. "Eh? What's all this?"

(20h54m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin stops in front of the cottage, lifting the untouched part of the roof. Underneath is the master bedroom.

(20h53m) As the roof comes up, a small figure is revealed. Made of white rose petals and wearing billowing flower skirts, a miniature Kit shades her eyes from the light.

(20h56m) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat has her grin vanish from Rosin's face and sits there a moment, watching.   

(20h56m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu arches a brow, smiling faintly. "Oh, wow..."   

(20h55m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin gently lifts the small figure from inside the room, holding her out to Kit.  

(20h53m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu 's smile brightens, reaching out to gently scoop the flower-creature from Rosin's hands. "Oh, my... hello there, little one..."   

(20h52m) <DICE> The Doctor Cheshire Cat vanishes, leaving behind a note of thanks and disappearing with a grin.   

(20h51m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles cutely. "I hope you don't mind me making her."   

(20h49m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu shaes her head, beaming. "She's lovely. Of course I don't mind."   

(20h49m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard comes in late with a bottle of ros Veuve Cliquot, an apologetic mi and a gift, "Awfully sorry, I got dragged away, again! I do hope the party has been delightful!"   ((Some of this particular message was lost in translation.))

(20h48m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin laughs lightly as Bernard makes his entrance. "You missed quite the event, Uncle."   

(20h47m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu arches a brow, giving a sleeply smile at the very late Uncle."Finally decided to show up, huh?"   

(20h46m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard looks quite sad to have missed the party, and to have upset his neice, "I am sorry. Awfully sorry."   

(20h45m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu simply shakes her head, grinning. "Nonsesnse, dear Uncle. You have nothing to be sorry for."   

(20h43m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin lightly embraces Kit, careful to avoid jarring the flowery female in her hand. "I think you threw a great party."   

(20h43m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard doesn't agree with that, himself. He had set aside the evening, and then to have something impose itself, well, it's quite rude. "Well, Kit, if you're quite sure...?"

(20h41m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles and nods, placing the delicate creature back into the confectionary bedroom before promptly pouncing her favorite uncle quite thoroughly!   

(20h40m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard nyurks, and collapses to the floor like a folding deckchair. "So, ahem, Kit, Rosin, what DID I miss?"   

(20h39m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin closes the roof of the candy cottage. "Drinking, dancing, music, and mischief."   

(20h38m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu purrs quietly and smiles, giving Bernard a kiss on both cheeks in the continental greeting before helping him to his feet.   

(20h36m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin walks out the door and is gone for barely a minute before returning with another massive cube like before.

(20h41m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu arches a brow, watching curiously.   

(20h40m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin unfolds the cube, revealing another miniature cottange. Unlike the first, this one is made out of the same materials as the dwelling it's based on.   

(20h38m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles. "I knew you wouldn't want such a piece of art to be eaten, so I decided to make another one that was a bit more realistic."   

(20h38m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles. "Ah... My unedible version, hm?"   

(20h37m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard grins a little, "Now, why can I believe you two get up to mischief?"   

(20h36m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin nods, grinning wide as she lifts the roof of the confectionary cottage and opens the door to the realistic replica. "Mischief? Us?"   

(20h35m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles, staying by Bernard's side and gently hanging onto his arm with her own. "Silly Uncle..."   

(20h33m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin gently scoops the flowered form from her candy container, setting her in front of the door to the other cottage. "There you are, no more sticky floors."   

(20h29m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin stands again, turning to face Kit and Bernard. "Now all we have to do is dispose of the candy cottage."   

(20h28m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard wonders about a candy cottage... "Do tell?"   

(20h27m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins. "Anata made a complete candy replica on this very building, dear Uncle."   

(20h26m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin makes a gesture to what is left of the miniature. It's almost half gone, either in the stomachs or pockets of partygoers.   

(20h25m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard asks whether it's like something from Hansel and Gretel... "You haven't been baking contestants in the oven have you?"   

(20h25m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard ahs, grins and gestures at the miniature, "Would you mind if I had a chimney?"   

(20h25m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles, plafully swatting his arm. "Uncle! You shouldn't say such things!"   

(20h24m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin smiles, breaking off the base of the chimney. Gorbert has the top somewhere. "Here you are, good sir. Do enjoy."   

(20h23m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard regards his chimney base, "I adore marzipan... I'll keep it for later, I think, it's a little early for anything other than a full English breakfast or some porridge oats..."   

(20h23m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard continues, "However it will be fabulous to go with my elevenses, and a nice cup of tea"   

(20h21m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin grins, bowing slightly to Bernard. "Don't be afraid to take any more, I'm sure it won't go to waste with you."   

(20h19m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard wonders if Rosin is making reference to his tummy, and if so, she's being a tad cheeky, although it's a little plump, it's more than compensated for by his skinny legs and knobbly knees...

(20h26m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smiles, gently guiding him to a place on the sofa in the sitting room. "Would you care for a drink, dear Uncle?"   

(20h24m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin yawns, rubbing at her eye. "I'm afraid it's rather late, and I must be turning in."   

(20h23m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard thought she'd never ask, he feels like his throat has been cut, "Oh, that would be lovely, and a good night to you Ms Rosin, have a great sleep, and no headache in the morning!"   

(20h23m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin heads for the doorway. "Goodnight my love, and goodnight to you as well Bernard."   

(20h23m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles quietly, granting a kiss to Rosin's cheek. "Rest well, Anata. Goodnight."   

(20h19m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins, making her way behind the bar once more. "I have wine, beer (Guiness, of course), whiskey, and brandy. What would you like?"   

(20h19m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard is sitting on the sofa, hands on knees, smiling at Kit and Rosin as they say their good nights.   

(20h18m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard thinks about it, carefully, "It's a bit early for wine, for me. And Whisky, and beer would sit a little heavily on MY FAT TUMMY, but brandy will be wonderful, is it a Remy or a Hennessey?"

(20h17m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smirks, arching a brow. "Hennessey, of course."

(20h16m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard thinks that would be marvellous, "That'd be grand m'dear!"

(20h13m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu nods, taking down a decanter from a shelf. As if she'd keep it in the bottle.

(20h11m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu sighs, pouring herself a glass as well before carrying Bernard's to him, sitting on the couch opposite wearily. "I'm glad to see you made it, dear Uncle, late as it might be."

(20h11m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard listens to Kit as she describes the party, and the antics of her guests, chuckling at times, and eyes wide at others, "And Gorbert really did that?" and "Sessine is such a wag!"

(20h10m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu frowns, swirling the liquor idly in her glass. "You missed Zahnnie and Merlin, however..."

(20h10m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard smiles a little, "You can never miss them for too long, I'll read the echoes if it's all the same with you, and then go and check the clan halls, and then the Island. I hate being away for too long

(20h9m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu shrugs. "They were disappointed not to see our beloved clan leader. OH, and Sessine had something he wanted to talk to you about... Something about cumin..."

(20h5m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard was cumin and goin' (ho ho) but it looks as though his chat is going to be curtailed again, "Kit, it's four in the morning for you, isn't it?! Oh, and thanks for the message, I'll catch S sometime"

(20h3m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard is going to use his last comment wisely, "I'm going to bid you goodnight, and thanks" he kisses Kit on her cheek.

(20h3m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu shrugs a bit, smiling tiredly. "It is, dear, but it's worth it."

(20h2m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu blushes faintly and just nods, giggling from nervousness. "What on earth was that for?"

(20h6m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard seems to have developed more comments (and from beyond the 4th wall, curses this live update as it does stop you dead) "I was going to bid you goodnight, my dear gal!"   

(20h2m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smirks. "What for, dear Uncle? I'm not leaving, it would seem, and neither are you, if you don't wish it."   

(20h1m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu growls low and promptly splashes her brandy in a typo gremlin's face, burning its eyes. It yowls in pain and runs until it knocks itself unconscious by faceplanting into a wall.   

(20h) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard grins at Kit, "Well if you feel tired, or if your gremlins get too much, or if we can't continue except by code - don't feel bad about turfing me out!"   

(19h56m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu giggles, just shaking her head before refilling her glass.   

(19h56m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard takes a sip of his cognac, "And how have you found officership? Not too taxing or onerous, is it? Parties such as this are sometimes the most tiring aspect of the role."   

(19h54m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu smirks, arching a brow. "Yes, NOW you tell me that."   

(19h53m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard grins mischievously, "There, there, little Kit, would you like me to warm some milk for you..." He may, if you're unlucky, sing a lullaby!   

(19h50m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu 's eyebrow seems to climb higher on her forehead. "Little Kit, Uncle?"   

(19h47m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard maintains the slightly cheeky look, "Did I say that?" feigning ignorance, "Little old me?"   

(19h42m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins. "Indeed you did, dear. For shame. I'm not at your knee anymore, remember?"

(19h40m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard laughs, "Ha ha, no. I don't suppose you'd like to go and grab some breakfast from Saucy's would you? I'm famished! I'll stand you a plate of pie, or a full English, if you'd prefer..."

(19h40m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu rises and sets down her glass, smiling as she gives his cheek a kiss. "I'm afraid I must be off to bed. Got a lot of cleaning to do here tomorrow, as you can see. Please come by again sometime."

(19h38m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard tells Kit to go to bed, "I'll tidy up for you and let myself out," he surveys the carnage, "I may be here when you wake up, saying that..."

(19h36m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu laughs, giving a grateful smile before making her way to the stairs. "I'd much appreciate at it, dear. THank you. Please, help yourself to the kitchen and bar."

(19h35m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard pulls out a pair of yellow rubber gloves, a frilly apron and some cleaning products from his pockets, and begins to shove two days worth of mess into black bin bags, soon, there's the sound of a vac

(19h33m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu grins down at him from the entrance to the 2nd story. "Oh, and do be sure to check out the Library itself! I think you might like it." She disappears from sight.

(19h29m) <CDAG> Uncle Bernard busies himself for hours, ensuring he vacs under furniture, polishes and leaves the place spic and span. He leaves some flowers in a vase, and switches off the lights as he leaves.

(19h27m) <CDAG> Resident Sex Kitten Lady Akitsu undresses and drifts into sweet, peaceful sleep. Ahhh, rest.

(5h8m) <DICE> Miniature Rosin sneaks in and removes the delapidated candy cottage out the door. Too much sugar to let waste.
