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.

::You get hands on him? He you? Walk me through it,:: he snickered.

[code_jaeger]

::No touching.:: he shook his head. ::he hated that he couldn’t touch me.::

[petal_storm]

::You say anything while staying out of reach?:: he chuckled, sending a phantom kiss to Jaeger's shoulder.

[code_jaeger]

::Nope but teasing glances.::

[petal_storm]

::Mmm, I have plenty of those views saved up,:: he admitted. ::Twitchy hips, shimmering scales...::

[code_jaeger]

::Yep. You know the ones.;: he grinned.

[petal_storm]

::Mmmhmmm, the ones that got you tied up for a whole day...::

"Think they're flirting," Go huffed at his brother.

[code_jaeger]

::It was worth it.:: he growled warmly.

“Mates,” Gi sneezed.

[petal_storm]

::Mmmhmm, that was a fun day,:: he growled on kind, glad for the distraction from the Shark. He was pretty sure the man couldn't get it up without rape.

"Yeah," he sighed. ::Do we think they could even handle an Orchid?::

[code_jaeger]

::So much fun. ::

::They seem as dangerous as she is but in different ways. So maybe.::

[petal_storm]

::We'll have to do it again,:: he grinned.

::Hmmm we'll see won't we?:: he decided, pulling a hover stretcher from the wall. They kept several down here for obvious reasons.

Jeager hefted the shark onto one. “Time to go?”

[petal_storm]

"If you're done," Go nodded.

Rial peeled his hand off the man and wiped it on the wall before grabbing Jaeger and kissing him harshly.

"I'll take that as done."

[code_jaeger]

Jeager spent a minute kissing him back before nodding. “Yes, rummaging through his psyche wasn’t pleasant for Rial.”

[petal_storm]

"Yeah, didn't imagine it would be," he snorted, "but you've been away from the party a while now..."

[code_jaeger]

“Mmhm, we’ll head back up now. “ he nodded.

[petal_storm]

"Enjoy the party," he noted blandly, taking the shark down a side corridor.

::They don't know what to think of us,:: Rial chuckled.

[code_jaeger]

“No they don’t.:: he agreed. ::Better than my last introduction though…::

[petal_storm]

::Mmmm, true. Jendiss will forgive you some day...:: he chuckled, taking Jaeger's wrist and tugging him back to the sands like he'd had to find his errant partner.

[code_jaeger]

::Last I saw them they were in mom and Corvus’s rooms so…:: He noted adopting a little pout as they made their way back to the sands.

[petal_storm]

::GOOD. And I haven't heard a peep from Shinose...:: so hopefully he was nesting with his new mate! He glanced at Jaeger sternly then shoved him toward discreet table with drinks.

[code_jaeger]

::Mates everywhere.:: he chuckled sulking as he went to take a seat.

[petal_storm]

He was being 'punished' yes as Rial tilted his ear to listen to someone else...

...but it let Orchid draw up beside him quietly? "My master wishes to discuss security."

[code_jaeger]

“Oh…? When?”

[petal_storm]

"Now, naturally," she smiled. "If your partner allows."
