An odd foundation

[petal_storm]

Who: Orchid, Magnus, any?
When: About a month after she arrived injured at the spa.
What: A grand re-opening.

The invitation was beautifully written on actual paper, delivered in an actual envelope and with hand illustrated margins showing thorny vines, sands, and battle grounds. A true piece of archaic penmanship likely courtesy of Orchid and it added a touch of high end grandeur to an open invite. And 'open' meant 'anyone who wishes to experience an evening of mingling and new, far more interesting definition of spectator combat'. The spa likely recieved the widest invitation, as it included any employee (or owner) thereof and any date they wished to bring.

A subtle way to demand Markux's presence, but also allow his old pet, Poppy, to attend.

After all Poppy had to miss being properly assured of his place instead of being a mere 'employee'. Such a disappointment that really. He'd had high hopes for Poppy's ability to crack Markux's facade. Ah well, he could still provide opportunity to reassure the boy of his place in life.

There was comfort in having a role after all, Orchid assured him of such, though she was quite capable enough to replace many less efficient (and caring) people he'd employed prior. It truly was something else to his comfort and entertainments to have a creature that adored him and put his pleasures paramount. Money couldn't buy a dedication like that.

Regardless, the upcoming reopening of the arena in C was the talk of the town, and a hell of a conversational topic in the spa as well. 'High dress' was the listed code, though all other amenities, from food and drink, to 'mild' drugs were provided sans charge. Tonight was an exhibition after all, a way to display WHY they should return and spend money betting later.

Magnus himself was dressed in simple, dark green silk tunic and pants; Orchid was his ornamentation wearing delicate gold chains and stones only in a wash of light and glitter over purple skin as they greeted people and mingled out of the pristine sands. It was the largest area for a party of course, but there were several raised platforms showcasing some of the intended lineup, and more empty ones for patrons to add fighters to later.

::Ahh… Ixi made this for me.:: he sniffed. ::And I could cut her “clothes” off where it all gathers between her shoulder-blades.::

[petal_storm]

::Change for the fight,:: obviously. ::Likely she will.::

[code_jaeger]

::That makes sense.:: he chuckled.

[petal_storm]

::And it's a fun way to flirt without flirting!:: Skill was sexy!

[code_jaeger]

::Going to have to hold back my dragon.:: he sighed.

[petal_storm]

::Yeeeeah, but consider it very long foreplay?::

[code_jaeger]

::Only if she’s into it…otherwise it’s just creepy.::

[petal_storm]

::Given she took this place we know she's at least competitive?:: there was that least?

[code_jaeger]

::Fair.:: He chuckled. ::People are asking what kind of mod I am and assuming you had me made.::

[petal_storm]

::Albino beaded gecko!:: he laughed. ::Leucistic rainbow boa! Oooo, seahorse! The mod was an anniversary gift?:: he was going to laugh so much later.

[code_jaeger]

::….You are going to get so many breeding requests….::

[petal_storm]

::Riiiight right, rest of the city still thinks you're a slave that I allow to have a job.:: Feh. ::Eh, I'll get to torture people with why they think they are at all good enough.::

[code_jaeger]

::I really don’t know why…:: he sighed. That info hadn’t gone past the spa.

[petal_storm]

::Because of how we hit the clubs,:: obviously. ::But hey, means if anyone annoys you I can come growl!::

[code_jaeger]

::At least two of these people are goin offer to buy me from you and when you say no there will be kidnapping attempts.::

[petal_storm]

::...bludgeoned with pheromones it is,:: he sighed. Obsessed with him instead! ::Hmmm, why is Orchid talking to that skin runner?::

[code_jaeger]

::How would I know…?:: they didn’t have a connection like theirs with her.

[petal_storm]

Yet! The operative term was yet! ::Hmmm, think I'll go play Master shall I?::

[code_jaeger]

::Alrighty!::

He eased toward Orchid?

"We have kept the contract with you, Shark," Orchid noted coolly. "On the condition you adhere to new rules about damages."

[code_jaeger]

“I’m not sure what you think I’ve done,” he noted black eyes too small for his head and too many teeth for his jaw turned toward her. “So why don’t you get to the point.”

[petal_storm]

"Per my Master's judgement, shark, your breaking process was to be foregone. We have more effective methods to employ here." And she held nothing but disdain for his presence honestly. "As your fees were double to continue under new management he expects obedience."

[code_jaeger]

“Who do you think I’ve broken?” He laughed somehow sounding like a garbage disposal with a fork in it.

[petal_storm]

"Shall we tour the cages?" A smart man would not follow anyone to a private location when her voice was that chilled.

[code_jaeger]

“I’m having fun right here just now.” He chuckled.
