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 look forward to seeing a world that proves my beliefs as healthy," she admitted quietly. "I will still work hard, here, but a preview could be...comforting."

[code_jaeger]

“As soon as we’re able then.” He nodded looking toward the door as two little… robots came through the scramble screen.

“We fooound you!”

Jeager blinked and tilted his head.

“You haven’t been to your lab to work for a while. We were worried. We had to wake up to operate the teleporter.”

[petal_storm]

"...we shall see what the future...holds." she trailed off, stilling at the intrusion?

"Told you," Fliq smirked at Tin, "he got us more parents!"

[code_jaeger]

Jeager blinked again, “Oh… Ah… these are my children.”

“Hello!”

[petal_storm]

"Ah?" Orchid had learned long ago that when she was uncertain about what to say silence rarely went amiss? She could...observe?

Fliq bobbed a moment, getting the hang if tiny hover tech wasn't easy! "I'm Fliq!" Named after...one of his security programs!

[code_jaeger]

“I’m Tin!”

[petal_storm]

"We already registered ourselves to the royal family!" She beamed at Jaeger.

[code_jaeger]

“Did you remember all of the birth forms and citizen registration forms?”

[petal_storm]

"Yes, obviously, they're networked information trees!"

[code_jaeger]

“Alright. Did you register parents?”

[petal_storm]

"Jaeger and mates! Stabilization vectors!"

[code_jaeger]

“Well I am glad to meet you. This is Orchid. I’m working with her at the moment.”

[petal_storm]

"You're supposed to say happy birthday," she noted to Jaeger soberly. "Hello coworker flower!"

[code_jaeger]

“When did you awaken?”

[petal_storm]

"....thirteen wave cycles ago?" When he logged off after rescuing Gabby really. "I see your point. Belated birthday."

[code_jaeger]

“But yes. Belated birthday.”

Tin marched over to Orchid, “Hello Orchid.”

[petal_storm]

"Thank you " she nodded.

Orchid smiled slightly, "Hello Tin."

[code_jaeger]

“Do we make you uncomfortable? You seem stressed.”

[petal_storm]

"No child," she assured, "you were simply an unknown, I I'm sorry." She had been relaxing her guard with Jaeger then STRANGERS! But she rolled with punches as it were.

[code_jaeger]

“Did we ruin the moment? Should we leave?”

[petal_storm]

"No," she chuckled, "there was no moment. We're building planning."

[code_jaeger]

“…that doesn’t sound very sexy.”

[petal_storm]

"...no," she agreed, "I've not been tasked to seduce him by my master."

[code_jaeger]

“Hmmm….”

[petal_storm]

She offered Tin a small flower from a plant on the desk and smiled slightly, "Likely if you intend too witness such best to seek the spa your father is staying at."
