[Hey lookit this asshole hanging out in a less then reputable bar!!! He's settled in a booth in the corner, legs stretched out under the table and propped up on the chair across from him. Between long pauses for people watching, he occasionally returns to something he's writing, though he only gets a few words down before he's back to staring at the crowd. Bored out of his mind by the looks of things]

[He's also smoking despite the sign requesting that please not be a thing. The reason management hasn't come up to tell him to stop? Probably has to do with the gigantic black gun propped up beside him]


[Alternately, start something of your own!]

[Man oldtimey adventurers come by her place to ask for favorable winds all the time, giant weapons are like, normal, you could just be one of those freaks.

... In fact they're probably broke all the time too.]

Don't bother justifying it to me. I don't really care, you know.

[phlogistos]

Ah, that's good. [...cause he totally wasn't gonna try to justify it he don't give a shit about your opinion ffffffffff]

As long as the cops aren't on me in the morning, you know.

[blackwoods]

Maybe I'll call them after you go to sleep.

[phlogistos]

Hm... Maybe I won't sleep then.

[Though that'd be p rude tbh offering him your house and then calling the police 8'|]

[blackwoods]

I'll drug your food.

[phlogistos]

[...huffs]

If you wanna be responsible for a lotta dead people, I guess. [While he escapes from jail... 8'| And that's even assuming you can drug him enough to knock him out lskjdflkj but he'd rather keep that ability to himself for now!]

[blackwoods]

They're dead. That's not really my problem, is it?

[phlogistos]

[S h r u g s]

Do what you want, your ladyship. [He ain't gonna stop you sdlkfj not until it impacts his health and well-being anyway]

[blackwoods]

[Dismissive handwave!]

I'm not calling them, anyway.

But because I'm not calling, if they show up you're on your own, all right?

[phlogistos]

[. . . why would they show up if you didn't call them lskdjf confused pause for a second... and then: ]

Can do.

[blackwoods]

Deal. Stay as long as you'd like.

[phlogistos]

[...r u sure]

[Looks a little taken aback tbh, but... hey, he wanted to get into her house for as long as possible sooooo]

Kind of you. Thanks.

[blackwoods]

I'm just confident you'll make things interesting.

[phlogistos]

I'll do my best, your ladyship.

[He doesn't really know why she thinks that though weep]

[blackwoods]

[Because he's got a giant gun and she hasn't made him cry yet.

And by now they are probably there! ... They also probably have, you know. A driveway and stuff. But walking is good for the body. Good for the soul more like since I guess we're a bunch of fucking fairies here or something]

We're here.

[phlogistos]

[lksjdf oh god poor girl if those are her criteria for interesting laksjdflkjklj]

[Also he's gonna... hang back on the driveway and just kinda... look... up at this house, whistling a little. Goodness gracious...]

Nicer up close... [Lawd... and now he's gonna catch up with her ffff]

[blackwoods]

[Well her alternatives as far as dudes go are butlers who are actually paid not to engage her and... the boy whose arm she ate, who she also bullies and reduces to tears on a regular basis because he ruined her life, even if I guess technically he made it better because she's not hungry anymore?? idk idk

Point is they're boring and Foster is not boring yet.]

I like the main house more. I once went to visit my cousin, and I got lost trying to find her room.

[phlogistos]

You have more then one house...

[OF COURSE YOU HAVE MORE THEN ONE HOUSE JESUS CHRIST fff laughs a little goodness gracious]

I think I might get lost just in here... [How indoors lskjdf]

[blackwoods]

[OPENIN' THE DOOR and going on ahead and walking towards a hallway. For such a big place, it's pretty conservatively decorated -- most notable is the huge amount of doors and hallways and the strange absence of any kind of clock.]

I have one house. The Bartolomeo family has two houses.

[phlogistos]

[...blinkin at all these doors wow and then following. The clocks he hasn't noticed yet, though he'll appreciate it when he realizes there won't be any chiming on the hour ('8]

Is the other one near here?

[blackwoods]

No. It's on the coast.

[phlogistos]

Ah... [Of course it's a beach home skdjfljlj Puts his hands in his pockets, still lookin around]

Why so many doors, huh?

[blackwoods]

False doors and guest bedrooms. Mother is very clever.

[As she says that last sentence, she rolls her eyes a bit, and twirls her index finger around the side of her head. Her mother is a lot of things and clever is probably one of them, but she prefers the term 'insane.']

[phlogistos]

[...heh laughs a little]

Sounds like a nice lady. [Can't wait to meet her... and invade her house for like a week sldkfj]

[blackwoods]

If you ever see her I'm sure you'll get along.

[Shakes her head as she says that one.....]
