Circe's Manor THE NEXT

[AmbushCat]

Elk: That's OK. Everything's OK north of TX! If the galleon says she's fine, what say we frigate about it and move on? *relocates to the floor* Jump in, the food is fine!

Maid #46: He does whatever he wants, too. You've seen the news reports about 'Pepsi Man', my lady?

[Ookalf]

Ah, thanks? I think... *Madison shrugs as she goes to get some food.*

----

Ugh, I heard. Seemed like a mess for everyone involved...

[AmbushCat]

*Elk smiles, salutes and wanders off to bother someone else.*

-----

Maid #46: It was. *sour look* I have a cousin over there who needed to be hospitalized after an encounter with him. One minute she's thirsty and hearing strange music, the next a catboy in blue and silver spandex crashes through the wall and slams a bottle of Wild Cherry Pepsi into her hand, then she's face-first on the floor with a heart attack.

[Ookalf]

Oh, seriously? I hadn't heard anything that serious...

[AmbushCat]

Maid #46: *sheepishly* I, eh... may have tried to keep that particular incident a secret up until now. Much as my cousin is a tremendous idiot, I do care for her, and I didn't want her getting media attention just because her brain was temporarily jump-started.

[Ookalf]

*Circe nods.* I see. ...Are you looking for me to do something about that?

[AmbushCat]

Maid #46: *blinks* Huh? Oh, no, no. I just felt like making small talk. Far as actually treating her goes, St. Dogbert's Hospital has it covered.

Maid #74.6: *grabbing some food as she speaks* Huh? I thought St. Dogbert's didn't handle 'standard' cases.

Maid #46: My cousin is Violet/Green. Do the math.

[Ookalf]

Ah, got it. ...Also, Violet and Green? That just sounds like a hassle...

[AmbushCat]

Maid #46: Yeah, she ain't the sharpest tool in the shed. To me that makes her heart attack all the more mysterious. I mean, I've been around both Colors long enough to know that they're generally unphased by a lot of stuff, right?

[Ookalf]

True... But then, Violets also tend to be unpredictable, don't they?

[AmbushCat]

Maid #46: I guess, my lady... Why, you think she had that heart attack because she was too stupid to know that Pepsi Man was theoretically harmless?

[Ookalf]

*Circe shrugs.* Well, I don't know if that's how I would have put it, but I suppose that's one explanation.

A young man, with a light brown skin tone, blonde hair, blue eyes and a set of goggles on top of his head, walks up to the entrance of the manor. "This should be the place...hmmm", he says looking back up from his notepad.

Looking around the gate, "Is there a bell or something?... Maybe I should knock... Knocking seems right, right?" unsure if knocking is appropriate for such a fancy home, he gives a few light taps on the door.

[Ookalf]

*A moment passes, and eventually a tired looking, redheaded woman in a maid uniform answers the door.* Yes? Do you need something?

[xGoggles]

"Oh, hi there..." the man responds looking at the maid, "Excuse me but, is this Circe's home?"
