Rivek nodded, "No, I mean - I'm all right. Just a little shaken. I didn't expect anyone else to know that. It's not worth troubling over and certainly not something you should be too worried about."

But he certainly didn't trust Devaena.

"I should keep my fat mouth shut in the future, shouldn't I? How's the stew?"

“....Is she drunk, or is she insane? Probably drunk, I've lost count how many gasses she's had....”


To be honest I lost count too. emo
bahaha! Poor Teagan. Was she an alcoholic before she came to Serendipity?


Sort of. She used to drink often right before bed, because she found that she didn't sleepwalk as much when she did. Sometimes the drinking would also be to forget whatever was causing her misery that day as well but, she stared drinking because of her sleepwalking problem.

Lol, no worries, mate. I normally don't take 'em - but I'm strapped for cash, too. So I know the feeling.

I am still on the fence about putting in a 4th place prize for this contest artwise.

Teagan continued to listen with her goofy grin. Lamia was beginning to get more and more interesting.

So she's dined with worse than thieves. So innocent looking and she's been safe around murders and politicians? What a strange girl indeed. Mr. Fletcher was right about her.

Teagan wondered if the joke about her satchel was more than a joke. She'd meant it to threaten dire consequences of theft, no doubt, but...perhaps something important was in there as well? Maybe something that could help Teagan learn more about her that she'd never say otherwise.

The satchel practically called to her to be rummaged through. But it couldn't happen now. No, this would have to wait quite some time.

Ja'tel nodded at Lamia. "The spells amuse children most. Is what purpose I used them for." He felt suddenly sad for her. Unhappy childhoods were something of a pet peeve to him. "Why so...if I may say... did you wish to be comforted?" He rested upon the back of the booth, becoming fully relaxed. He put his hand over his heart and waved away Lamia's warning. "Never from established friends." He said seriously. "I have some honor." He smiled and watched Teagan drink more wine. He let her, hoping she would let down her guard and he'd get information. After all, it seemed too be what everyone at this table wanted, but he was the only one willing to give. What good was secrecy here? He wasn't afraid of what Lamia thought, or of Teagan's employer. So he had to be patient. And he hated patience. "Besides, " He added, "I'm also a musician. So if makes you uncomfortable to think of me as a cutpurse, I am otherwise!"

"I should keep my fat mouth shut in the future, shouldn't I? How's the stew?"


Lurp shook her head radiating unconcern. "Nah, it's fine." Of course Rivek didn't want her worrying over it, but she was a friend. She didn't want him worrying over it either. She wasn't about to let anything happen to him that she could help prevent, and she wasn't the type to just sit idly by. Well, that wasn't true, she was EXACTLY the type to sit idly by when it concerned anyone else, but when it was one of her handful of friends (Four and a half now if she counted Seist), she had to do something about it. Her friends were few, and therefore all the more precious. She wouldn't let anyone endanger them.

And Rivek... was a special case. No, she couldn't sit this one out, but Rivek didn't need to be worrying about her too, so she dropped the topic and switched tacks with him. "Very filling. Cook must have been in a good mood today, or someone else made the stew." she teased. "I really needed this, Rivek, thanks." She let her smile through this time.

Then something else occurred to her to keep Rivek distracted from their earlier conversation "So, what's a body do for a good time around this town if they don't drink?" Not that Lurp couldn't, but as it didn't do much for her, it was a waste of her ill-gotten gains.

Lamia's brow creased, and began to speak, almost to herself. "I had lost almost everything just before the world froze. When the winter came, the Earth joined me. I retreated to the only place that was mine, a cave deep under Manhattan, and woke with the spring thaw." She smiled at Jatel, though there was still sad memories lingering in her eyes. "One of the things I truly hate is being alone. They were dark times. But," she raised her eye brows, tone brightening if not the rest of her face considerably, "they passed. I grew more successful than I ever had been, and my problems disappeared, one by one. New ones came of course," she laughed, her face starting to cheer, "but they always do."

She nodded when he said he never stole from friends, and leaned forward on the table, laughing at his joke. "I am quite interested in your music. I hope at some point you decide to treat me to a performance!" She smiled hopefully.
Night night threadlings. :3

"Doesn't drink? Ehr... well..." Rivek had no idea. He finished his glass.

"Well, if you need to eat more, there's a restaurant - Garland's - across the street. They serve nicer fare than we do. But their sous-chef is an a*****e," he laughed. "Not like ours is much better, though."

He shrugged. "But there's also a market - with crafts. I hear there are some very fine elemental-blown glasses there. If you want to do some shopping. Or, perhaps, pick up a trade. Pretty girl like you would go well with some new jewelry, right?"

"You could also explore the other places in the country itself," he waved his hand in the air. "Outside the Axle of Commerce. If you need a job, there are rich folks in the Machina who will pay top dollar on information on new Outsiders. They want to expand their territories, I think."

He knotted his fingers. Mentioning the Machina and the factions sparked something from his conversation with Devaena.

"But," he lowered his voice, "if you ask me, I've love to find out why Outsiders like us keep appearing out of nowhere. I think it has something to do with the Lady.*"


*(( Rivek needs some time with Laresh.))

You have inspired me, Teagan. At the end of OOC2 if I have time, I'm going to go through and find all of the awesome lines like this and put them up in a place of honor in the guild XD

"Frozen world?" He said in wonder. "And you lived through such a thing?" It caused him to shudder at the thought. Cold weather did not agree with him. Undoubtedly he was with all his body and soul a creature of the desert. Her cheerful, positive demeanor relieved him. He always respected people who could do such and be sincere. He himself had always done his best to remain positive, but...it was a difficult thing to maintain. Especially with all that had gone on in his life. With yet another smile, he looked about the place. "If only my instrument existed in this world. I would play. I could certainly use it."

"Oh Jatel, it was so cold in that God-forsaken place. Are you familiar with the Fahrenheit system of measuring temperature? If not, picture this;" she paused considering where the outside temperature was. She guessed it was about 70 out there. Close enough. "Take the temperature outside right now. Drop it to the point where water freezes, or 32 degrees, and drop it by that again. That was our winter in New York. So many people died. Those that went below ground like me survived the cold, but then when their food began to- to-" she stopped to steady her voice. There was still the nagging bit of guilt that whispered to her that she might have been able to prevent it, if she had made the effort to investigate before winter came. Even though her rational self knew better, she couldn't help the feeling; she was not always a rational creature. "I was lucky enough not to have that problem." she finished quietly. She was silent for several moments more, composing herself.

"But," she started again finally, her face relatively relaxed and hinting at a smile, "that was many years ago. It wasn't the end of the world; like me, the people rebuilt and began new lives from the wreckage of their old ones. Could you describe to me your instrument? I was in the music industry back home, and I have quite the taste for the new and unusual."

Teagan frowned a bit as she listened to Lamia. So she understood great loss as well. In a way, Teagan reasoned that everyone here had experienced loss somehow. But she was certain that in any case, her loss was the worst. She felt a bit angry as the girl talked about the problems melting away. Teagan didn't feel that lucky.

"You should be truly grateful for the moments you have alone..." she interrupted coldly, sipping her wine again. "When two bodies in the universe meet, there is no end to the destruction they can cause." Teagan bit her lip...perhaps she shouldn't have said that. She was contradicting herself from earlier. After all, wasn't she trying to be social to gain information? If she convinced Lamia to be alone, it wasn't going to help her cause.

Teagan reasoned that it needed to be said though, if only to vent. Lately meeting new people hadn't exactly brought her happiness. Only a temporary distraction until the chaos of humanity ensued.

She turned back to Ja'tel. He seemed a bit sad now- missing his instrument. If it meant to him what writing meant to Teagan, she completely empathized. Without Jonathan to inspire her, she'd stopped her poetry long ago. She wasn't sure if she'd ever try to write like that again. For now the only words she wrote were journal entries, to keep herself sane and focused on past and current events.
