[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!]

[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.....]

[phlogistos]

[Eyes her a moment...]

She not around muhc?

[blackwoods]

You'll get along if you can find her.

[phlogistos]

[...]

She hides...? [Weird???]

[blackwoods]

Let's just say she's found when she wants to be.

[phlogistos]

Ah... [..........]

How eccentric. Are the others so... like... that... [...smooth Foster]

1/2

[blackwoods]

[ZIPPING GESTURE OVER HER MOUTH Foster you know not what you do.]

She'll hear you.

[blackwoods]

Everyone else is...

[... ok let's put it this way.]

Do you like me?

[phlogistos]

Well enough...

[You're kinda uptight but... eh, he's spent time around worse]

[blackwoods]

Except for the servants, I raised everyone else you'll see here.

The boy's rearing I had no hand in, but he's useless. You're best off ignoring him if you meet.

[phlogistos]

[..........wait]

Didn't you say your dad was here... [Or is that... another one of the... ones he's not gonna see lsdkjf]

[blackwoods]

He's out on errands. You won't meet him unless you choose to stay several months.

[phlogistos]

Ah... no, I doubt it. [Unless something spectacular happens that keeps him here anyway]

[Glances around at dis hallway, looking for... a door that looks like a guest room ffff it's been awhile since he's had a proper shower he's kinda anxious for it by now!]

What kind of errands...?

[blackwoods]

Errands.

[OH LOOK AT THE TIME FOUND YOUR ROOM opening the door.]

There's no lock.

[phlogistos]

There's... not...? [But Sophie... Hovering awkwardly outside the door now w e l p]

[blackwoods]

[LAUGHS]

It locks from the inside. The guest rooms don't have keys.

[phlogistos]

Ah... [LKSJDF DON'T LAUGH AT HIM OMG But okay good he will go inside now, immediately tossing his bag on the bed and stripping his jacket off to hang on a chair laksjdf At least he doesn't waste time getting settled???]

Where's the bathroom, did you say? [Shower he is gonna slam into you so hard +______+]
