Freya
Freya sighs and scratches the back of her head, "More fangy yes, and I don't know if you'd call it frisky so much as overly friendly."
Freya follows Red and considers how her other half may react to Nirvana. For her sake she hoped that she wasn't as dangerous as she was boasting, because Okami may not be as easy going. "The clerk at the hotel told me that the full moon had just passed. Unfortunately it's the new moon that I have to be concerned about. Backwards I know, but I don't make the rules."

"Or maybe your body just instinctually knows that rules are meant to be broken," she counters cleverly as she moves up the impressive staircase. Now on the second floor, Nirvana heads towards the bar. "We'll ask the tender up here if Kendal is around. She's the primary gossip girl here. Not useless gossip mind you, more like a mobile grapevine." Coming up to the counter, Nirvana slides up beside a parton in a long, black coat who is seated there. She folds her arms to rest on the surface as she leans against it. "Oy Avery!" she calls to the tanned, sharply dressed young man on the other side.

Freya
Freya follows closely behind and slides next to Nirvana. She sniffs the air, then her brow furrows and she sniffs again. This time her nose wrinkles and she sniffs then turns her head in the direction of the patron sitting next to Nirvana. Her ears fold down and back in a threatening pose as she growls softly. The growl is notably canine, not sounding at all like a woman imitating one. I just can't get away from that smug b*****d.

After my encounter with the crazy a** bone thrower at the hotel, I headed straight for the Muse. I was going to catch up to Kendal and find out if anything new had developed since we had spoken last, but she was on duty and I had not found her yet. I was sitting at the upstairs bar relaxing with a stout when I noticed the rather attractive little redhead slide up next to me. Normally, I was not really the type to notice, but something about this one perked up my senses. She felt.. interesting. Well, interesting, dangerous.. same thing.
I was contemplating saying something to her when her companion snags my attention. Well, if it isn't our little bone hurler. I though to myself, amused. She looked pleased to see me again. Hehe. Just to be an a**, I gave her a polite nod of my hat, just like I had back at the hotel. Curious now what the hot redhead would be doing with this whack job, I subtly listened in on Red's conversation with the barkeep.

The barkeep replaces the glass he was polishing back to its proper spot and moves over to join Nirvana. She glances to her side at the man in the dark coat, noticing that he has noticed her. Giving him a smile, she returns her attention to the keep. "Hey, is Kendal around?" she asks him, tapping the toe of her boot against the bar counter, "I thought she was working tonight?"
Avery chuckles, shaking his head. "You'll have to wait in line, Red," he tells her, nodding to Slade. "This gentlemen here has been waiting for her for a good half hour at least."
Red looks to the man beside her again. "Half hour, huh? What the hell is she doing?" her eyes shift to the barkeep, a grin spreading on her face. "Or is it more of a who?"
Avery smirks. "Nah Red, she and the Mistress have been in a meeting. The two of them disappeared just after the Mistress arrived for the evening. I think Urban was with them too."
Nirvana growls faintly, but nods. "Meh.." she replies, enthusiastically. Turning around to face Freya now, she shrugs. "Looks like we'll have to hang tight for a bit. Unless maybe we could find Marie or Thorne."

That smug grin, that crappy little hat, his stupid...uh...face. Dammit, he's got me so angry I can't even insult him in my own head.Quote: Turning around to face Freya now, she shrugs. "Looks like we'll have to hang tight for a bit. Unless maybe we could find Marie or Thorne." Freya's ears raise back up and she turns her attention to her new friend, "Are they in the know like this Kendal chick?"

Internally, I grinned at the crazy woman's obvious irritation towards me. Good, at least I haven't lost my charm. I listened to their conversation as unobtrusively as possible, but as far as I was concerned that barkeep had just given me a way in with these two girls.
"You two are looking for Kendal too, eh? That Kendal seems to be a popular girl tonight. What kind of information are you looking for?"I asked them politely.

Nirvana shakes her head in response to Freya's question. "No.. Marie is the resident curator and sweetheart of the place. The only gossip she knows about is personal, and she wouldn't share it even if you knew what to ask. Thorne, well, she knows more than Marie probably, but she isn't nearly the information powerhouse that Kendal can be." She chews on her lip distractedly, her eyes scanning the upstairs floor for any signs of where Franky and Kendal could be having their little 'meeting'.
Red smirks faintly at the man's comment. "Yeah, Kendal is always popular. Personally, I think it's that whole sexy cat-girl thing she's got going on.." she rolls her eyes and grins, "You should see the tips she rakes in each night."

Freya
Freya's right ear tick and then they shift down and to the side in a disgusted fashion. "Did you say cat, and girl? As in the exact opposite of what sits in front of you?" She grumbles and turns toward the bar. "I f*ing hate cats. Hey Avery, I'm going to need something heavy for this meeting."
She then casts her glare again at the smug man, "What's it to you ya smarmy, hat wearing goon?"

"Smarmy goon?" Nirvana repeats, laughing. "What's this? You two know eachother or something?" Her eyes flicker between the two. Cute, dark haired foreign chick.. dark, handsome foreign dude.. They both appear about the same time..
"Is this a jilted lover of yours?" she asks Freya, slightly teasingly.

Freya
Freya's ears spike up in shock as her hair stands on end, she almost falls out of her seat while she tries to find words to put into her mouth, "Atich...pfft...chipff...Hell NO! He's just smooth operator wannabe that helped me carry my stuff at the hotel. Then pissed me off when he thought it'd be funny to ignore me!"

I chuckled faintly at the thought, sure that the harmless comment by the redhead would bristle the crazy woman's fur. And what do you know, I was not disappointed. "There is no love lost between us, I assure you." I explained to Red with a slight smile. I motioned the tender to bring up a refill for my stout, only this time I signaled for a second pint as well, for the anxious one. Then I turned back to the two girls, my tone more serious. "Seriously though. I happen to know you are freshly arrived on this planet." My query pointed to Freya. "What could you possibly be looking for so soon?"

Freya
Freya clears her throat and straightens up in her stool, trying to collect herself. When the pint that the man ordered arrives at her position on the counter, she cuts her eyes at him again and takes it begrudgingly. She throws her head back and downs the contents in a few seconds. She then slams the glass on the table and burps. "I am looking for the most malevolent big-top in existence. Don't suppose you'd know anything about that, would you ya chuckle-head?"

Nirvana blinks, surprised that Freya would mention the circus to this stranger after making it sound so hush hush to her. But then again, she reminds herself, she was a stranger up until an hour ago as well..
"Big top, as in circus. Or at least, on the outside. I'm guessing it's some kind of facade." Glancing between the man and the new girl, Nirvana shrugs. "We thought perhaps Kendal would have heard of it. According to Freya here, it wouldn't be your average dog and pony show." She folds her arms against her chest, leaning back against the counter. "I don't suppose you've ever heard of it?" she asks him.

SLADEAny amusement I had found in the crazy woman's reaction to my continued presence was immediately nullified with the mention of the circus. My expression became detached and distant, my guard up and ready for anything. My eyes searched the two women presented in front of me. Red I was vaguely familiar with. I knew that although she was not part of the club in employment, she was a regular and came from something the others here only referred to as "the Family". They trust her here, so I could probably give her some slack as well. The crazy one on the other hand...
After a moments hesitation, I finally decided to try it. If this whack job was looking for the same circus that I was, her indiscretion might blow my cover and tip the circus off before I could find them. I couldn't take that risk.
"The Cirque Du Nocturn?" I asked them, my tone serious, my voice lowered.
