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.

“I won’t be held responsible for issues arising from delays in critical work.” He warned adding that to the contract.

[petal_storm]

"Naturally," Magnus smiled coolly, "just as we will not be held responsible for any delays due to your other contracts."

[code_jaeger]

“Of course.” He nodded. “You’re my second active contract. I don’t take on many at a time given how intensive I work.”

[petal_storm]

"Quite conscientious of you," he idly poured himself a drink while Orchid leaned forward to negotiate prices and wording in some sections.

Detailed enough to let Magnus zone out...

[code_jaeger]

It didn’t seem to take that long to come to an agreement honestly.

[petal_storm]

No, Orchid was shrewd with negotiations, but phrased things in a manner to make Magnus believe they were getting a hell of a deal.

"Shall we meet here at noon tomorrow?" She asked easily, glancing between the men.

"If you tend your duties early yes," Magnus smiled.

[code_jaeger]

“Moon works for me.” Jeager noted yes.

[petal_storm]

Orchid held the pad for each to sign and smiled, "it will be a pleasure working with you," with just the right hint of flirtation to ensure her Master assumed she'd be working for more 'concessions' from Jaeger!

[code_jaeger]

“Ah,” he blinked but didn’t say anything about it. He nodded after a minute. “A-alright.”

[petal_storm]

Magnus smiled, tugging Orchid into his lap, "we'll see you for the fights soon then."

[code_jaeger]

“Right- yes.” He nodded and turned to go.

[petal_storm]

Rial wrapped an arm around him the moment he got back? Playing the pouty master yes, "finally."

[code_jaeger]

“I’m meeting Orchid here tomorrow at noon. She’s going to be overseeing my work.”

[petal_storm]

::Well damn, that's a nice bonus,:: he chuckled privately. "That is a horrid time." Way too early! Bah.

[code_jaeger]

::It is going to be hard not to touch her.:: he sighed leaning his head against Rial’s. “There’s a lot to do.”

[petal_storm]

::Better I'm sleeping when you first meet up,:: he agreed wryly. Looking through Jaeger's eyes would just double that need..."of course there is," he sighed.

"Too much to hope the reopening party would mean things were finished."

[code_jaeger]

::Yeah… going to be hard.::

“Finished?”

[petal_storm]

"If there's a lot for you to do then obviously the arena isn't finished, it just looks pretty," he grumbled.

::Maybe we can sneak a little touching...::

[code_jaeger]

“It just needs better security is all.”

::That’s dangerous.::

[petal_storm]

"Yeah yeah," he sighed, groping his ass, "but it still means doing without you for hours. Remind me why I let you do these contracts?"

::I knowwww...:: he was getting hungry, he slways leaned toward touching people when peckish!

[code_jaeger]

“Because they pay well.” He noted.

::Still have some time before the fights. Could “remind me who I belong to”.:: he grinned.

[petal_storm]

"Right, money for toys," he sighed, pulling Jaeger tight against him for a kiss. "Doesn't mean I have to like it. You forget your place when you're away too long," he growled.

::We can find a room I'm sure, others have...::

[code_jaeger]

“I didn’t do anything with that shark.” He sighed.

::Yes they did.:: he chuckled.

[petal_storm]

"You went off without permission, " he countered, biting his lip in reprimand. "Now you better find me a room. I'm sure you can some rope too."

::I'll sipp off nearby people too but...::

[code_jaeger]

Jeager did find them a room and some silk ties yes.
