Circe's Manor THE NEXT

[Whatevr89532]

"Urr...Do you know where mistress Circe is? The last thing I remember there was a pool, and then there wasn't a pool, and then someone hit me with a needle but they didn't actually poke me...and then I woke up in a bed here..." The dog-girl's ears droop from a combination of confusion and fear.

[AmbushCat]

"Yea, does that always happens when she appears?" he wonders if their mother might be part fire-elemental or... no, it wouldn't be... she couldn't be part infernal demon, would she? Well, she did go through a lot of changes, resulting into her strange genetics now... Maybe not a good idea to ask anyway, would be a bit rude asking if they were a demon or not~

Echo: Yes. Some years ago, she absorbed a magical artifact called The Phoenix Gate into her body, letting her teleport freely across time and space. The fireballs are hallmarks of her arrivals and departures.

*Circe claps her hands together.* All right, it sounds like that's settled. You want anything to eat while you're here?

No, thanks. Ooof... *lets go of Eebon and steps away* I'm already lethargic from dinner as it is, so I'd better be getting home. Deflegrate muri tempi et intervalia.

*Amber warps back home, disappearing in a fireball.*

"Ooh I see phoenix... right.. of course it was phoenix, heheh" more loudly responding to his own thoughts than to Echo.
Maybe he should write that down though with the other details, grabbing his pencil again and notes it on his notepad. Then poof Amber was gone. "Ahh, she left already?"

"Urr...Do you know where mistress Circe is? The last thing I remember there was a pool, and then there wasn't a pool, and then someone hit me with a needle but they didn't actually poke me...and then I woke up in a bed here..." The dog-girl's ears droop from a combination of confusion and fear.

Ah, yeah. She's right over there... *The maid points the dog-girl to where Circe was just speaking to Amber.* You could probably go talk to her now.

No, thanks. Ooof... *lets go of Eebon and steps away* I'm already lethargic from dinner as it is, so I'd better be getting home. Deflegrate muri tempi et intervalia.

*Amber warps back home, disappearing in a fireball.*

See you, then. *Circe nods and looks to the kids.* How's that work for you?

[AmbushCat]

Then poof Amber was gone. "Ahh, she left already?"

Echo: Probably had too much to eat at that anniversary party and wanted to sleep it off.

See you, then. *Circe nods and looks to the kids.* How's that work for you?

Eebon: *all smiles* That works out great. Thank you, thank you, thank you, gaw!

Elk: *in the background* Not my fault this time, Eebon!

[Whatevr89532]

The dog-girl runs up to Circe as soon as the witch is pointed out to her, waving excitedly. "Mistress! Mistress!" On coming within reasonable conversation distance she pauses, her ears drooping in confusion again. "Wait..when'd you stop being a dragon...?"

[Ookalf]

Eebon: *all smiles* That works out great. Thank you, thank you, thank you, gaw!

Elk: *in the background* Not my fault this time, Eebon!

Don't mention it. You just go ahead and enjoy the rest of the night.

*Circe looks to the dog-girl in confusion.* I can't say I remember ever being a dragon in the first place... Are you sure you have the right person?

Echo: Probably had too much to eat at that anniversary party and wanted to sleep it off.

"Well considering this is the leftovers, the thought of what was at that party... 'too much to eat' sounds accurate..."
Watching Eebon's happy smile, "So I guess you can stay up for a while longer now, huh?" he asks.

[Whatevr89532]

The maid seems more distressed at this. "B-but, you're Mistress Circe, right? You put a ribbon on me and then cast a spell and there was a pool and then there wasn't a pool...ah! A-and I gave you a gold scepter, too."

Yes, I'm Circe... *Circe taps a finger on the table as she tries to remember this.* ...Can you at least tell me your name, or when this all happened? That would probably refresh my memory.

[AmbushCat]

"Well considering this is the leftovers, the thought of what was at that party... 'too much to eat' sounds accurate..."
Watching Eebon's happy smile, "So I guess you can stay up for a while longer now, huh?" he asks.

Eebon: *all smiles* Yeah. *waits a beat; looks thoughtful* Though I'm kinda at a loss as to what to do. I mean, one of the staffers here got me interested in this old computer game, but I don't know if I want to spend the whole time just playing that. Gaw.

[Whatevr89532]

"I-I'm Marie," she says. "B-but, I don't know how long ago it happened, 'cause..the last thing I remember someone threw a needle at me a-and then I woke up here..."

Chuckling a bit, unsure if he should admit how he could be such a geek sometimes, and spend all night playing a single game if he really gets into it "What is the game about? Maybe we can give it a try... I mean.. unless you like to do more party stuff?"

[Ookalf]

"I-I'm Marie," she says. "B-but, I don't know how long ago it happened, 'cause..the last thing I remember someone threw a needle at me a-and then I woke up here..."

I see... Unfortunately, I still can't say I know what you're talking about. Perhaps you're thinking of some other Circe? Maybe an alternate universe counterpart to me, or something...

[Whatevr89532]

"I-I guess that's possible," says Marie. "But..I dunno where to find the other you or anything...could I just..w-work for you?"
