"It's not exactly something I'm used to."

Posted: **Tue Sep 26, 2017 7:40 pm**

"Might be a good thing to get used to. If you're ready, we can head down to Maldon and at least wander around for a while."

Posted: **Tue Sep 26, 2017 7:42 pm**

"...at least you're not subjecting me to Christmas shopping," she says as she steps out and locks the door.

Posted: **Tue Sep 26, 2017 7:50 pm**

"I've already done most of my Christmas shopping," she says with a half-grin, spinning a set of official looking car keys in her hand.

*** After The Vampire Raid ***

Erica pops into appearance in a chair in Isolde's room. She's dressed for an evening in her club.

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2017 5:57 pm**

Isolde is seated on the bed reading something as Erica arrives. She looks up from her book and curls a lip.

"A little warning is always nice, you know."

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2017 5:59 pm**

"This method of communication doesn't lend itself to warnings," she says, "Aside from which, I have some sad news to impart. It seems Michael is no longer among the unliving."

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2017 6:08 pm**

"Ah, such a pity," she says with a toothy smirk.

"I can tell it's upset you greatly."

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2017 6:19 pm**

"I am absolutely beside myself, my dear." She rubs her thumb across her nails as she studies them. "He's even beyond my abilities. I tried to call up his spirit to... commiserate, but not even a blip."

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2017 6:22 pm**

"Perhaps a little birdie sent him on his way? I couldn't possibly speculate."

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2017 6:25 pm**

"It's possible," she says with a shrug, "Maybe I'll... ask around. It's a shame you're locked up here. I'd offer you a drink if you were at my club."

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2017 8:17 pm**

"And then you'd charge me double for it," she chuckles.

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2017 8:19 pm**

"Well, it's only fair. You have a different concept of what constitutes 'aged' when it comes to drink." She flicks her nails a bit, "Now that certain contracts have been... appropriately discharged, I can get back to better, more important business."

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2017 10:23 pm**

"Ah, I can't imagine it was pleased with that. A clause it didn't catch?"

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2017 11:44 pm**

"I warned it that I was specifying the escape clauses," she shrugs, "It's certainly not happy with me, but I picked up a few tricks for dealing with its kind."

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2017 11:54 pm**

"I'd say the biggest one is not to, in retrospect."

Posted: **Sat Dec 02, 2017 12:06 am**

She shrugs, "We've both learned some things I would wager. But as learning is a never-ending process, I should figure out which of Michael's remaining children was the competent one and put a stake in them."

Posted: **Sat Dec 02, 2017 12:12 am**

"Oh, were there survivors? How exciting."

Posted: **Sat Dec 02, 2017 12:18 am**

"I'm given to understand that it was quite the messy affair. Seems a group of 'heroes' interrupted a party of sorts, according to the rumors."

Posted: **Sat Dec 02, 2017 2:15 pm**

"Well that's always been true, hasn't it? There's always a few of those. The justifications change, but Michael could hardly have been surprised to see them..."

Posted: **Sat Dec 02, 2017 5:54 pm**

"The rumor was, among the staff, that the party was to present some new 'queen of...' something or other. Michael always did have a taste for bad theatrics."

Posted: **Mon Dec 04, 2017 7:25 pm**

"He's had hundreds of years to hone his chewing of scenery. I'm sure you know the type."

Posted: **Mon Dec 04, 2017 8:22 pm**

"He was indeed a master of the art," she says with a chuckle. "So are you going to remain or will you be on the move again?"

Posted: **Mon Dec 04, 2017 8:42 pm**

"I can't deny that I'm starting to feel restless."

"Still, I'm starting to see where that's gotten me, in the past."

Posted: **Mon Dec 04, 2017 8:44 pm**

"Truly a Christmas miracle," she says with a slight smirk. "You do have family in the area now though. And I hear there's a 'child of earth' who is in need of a new guardian."

Posted: **Tue Dec 05, 2017 7:51 pm**

"Oh, as if the weavers would be having any of that. I'm surprised they even let me get close to her."

Posted: **Tue Dec 05, 2017 7:59 pm**

"Her weaver guardian died. I'm surprised you didn't hear about it. I know I felt the reverberations, even in Chelmsford. I'm not sure what other options they have. Who are they going to appoint? The Morrigan?"

Posted: **Tue Dec 05, 2017 8:02 pm**

"Oh I'm more than aware of that, just I've been given the distinct impression over the years they don't like me. Perhaps because they've never gotten to close the book on me."

Posted: **Tue Dec 05, 2017 8:05 pm**

"Add it to your resume. 'Resilient, go-get-'em attitude.' Besides which, you're... reformed now." She chuckles.

Posted: **Wed Dec 06, 2017 12:39 am**

"You are entirely too amused by this."

Posted: **Wed Dec 06, 2017 12:43 am**

"Christmas cheer, dear. Contractual obligation. Of course, aware as she is now, the child of earth may be allowed to select her own guardian."

Posted: **Thu Dec 07, 2017 8:07 pm**

"I think whatever you were raised on may have involved evergreens, but probably not baking cookies."

"I don't know how aware she is. The leeches did a number on her, but she seemed to be recovering."

Posted: **Thu Dec 07, 2017 8:52 pm**

"I'd be surprised if she doesn't at least have an inkling now. Or at the very least she will be asking difficult questions."

Posted: **Thu Dec 07, 2017 8:54 pm**

"She knows I was hunting her. I told her that much."

Posted: **Thu Dec 07, 2017 9:03 pm**

Erica shrugs, "A lot of people were doing a lot of things. Things like this can give... perspective. Speaking of which..." She gestures and a small stack of packages appear on the small table beside her. "Tokens of the season... and yes, there's even one there for you."

Posted: **Thu Dec 07, 2017 9:11 pm**

"...you're going to make me play Belsnickel, aren't you?"

Posted: **Fri Dec 08, 2017 12:11 am**

"Make you? No. No obligation of any kind. But if you really want to be a better person, this might not be a bad next step."

Posted: **Fri Dec 08, 2017 12:13 am**

"I suppose it's a bit of a change from being the sort of thing mothers say eats bad children."

"But you're probably as familiar as I am with that, yes?"

Posted: **Fri Dec 08, 2017 12:19 am**

"Complete with ovens and children abandoned by woodcutters. Do they think I could maintain this shape eating children and living in a candy house?"

Posted: **Fri Dec 08, 2017 12:40 am**

"Well it's not yoga, is it?" She gives a toothy grin.
