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.

“Given the room yes. I told her about what Elora can do.”

[petal_storm]

"And her response?"

[code_jaeger]

“She wanted information on changing his living will.” He grinned.

[petal_storm]

"...oh dear..." he blinked, then grinned toothily.

[code_jaeger]

“I meet her again tomorrow. Same time.”

[petal_storm]

"She will be handling your contracted time as it were?" He mused. "Clever but dangerous."

[code_jaeger]

“Yes.” He nodded.

[petal_storm]

"Do you need an extra set of hands for install?"

[code_jaeger]

“Sure.” He smiled.

[petal_storm]

"Lovely," he grinned. He was no techie but he knew his way around tools and could follow Jaeger's ideas flawlessly! "I want to see her." Hiw not?

[code_jaeger]

“Exactly.” He nodded.

[petal_storm]

"That said," he smiled, "I should eat. You rest up and plot an appropriate grounding?"

[code_jaeger]

“Alright. Have fun.” He chuckled kissing him.

[petal_storm]

"Mmm, never as much as with you," he grinned. "But food is food..."

[code_jaeger]

“Of course.” He grinned.

[petal_storm]

He nipped Jaeger's lips and swatted him playfully before heading out to feed.

The spas reputation was...increasing ever higher these days!

Fluq managed to home in on Tin...many hours later?

[code_jaeger]

Jeager was waiting yes. “There you are…!”

[petal_storm]

She was smudged with dirt and shivering a touch but yes? "Tin told you I aas coming back!"

[code_jaeger]

“Yes but I’m glad you’re okay.” He noted scooping her up. “You’re shivering.”

[petal_storm]

"It's a bad place there," she admitted, wiping fretful at dirt.

[code_jaeger]

“…What happened?”

[petal_storm]

"It's just...bad." she shied away from the answer?

[code_jaeger]

“You’ll have to talk to someone kiddo. If not me then a therapist.”

[petal_storm]

"Okay. I just promised not to tell you." She was going to wander over to hug Tin though!

[code_jaeger]

“Orchid asked you not to?”
