Re: Home 25: Still making mortgage payments
[Fort Aegis]
All the miscellaneous items left behind by the kobolds are sent flying by the huge wave of water sent out by Sylvess. The pool is surprisingly deep so Sylvess doesn't injure his ankles jumping in.
Spako looks very dignified as he raises his snout and drops daintily into the pool, paddling over to Sylvess like the very classy Bronze Wizard and Royal Runemaster that he is.
"Well, you could certainly get used to living here, couldn't you? Do you think your friend Sam would like it?" he asks. He has no problem with Sylvess indulging himself. It's not like anyone is looking.
[Karaoke Night
The couple might find Jim inserting himself between them, arms around their shoulders in a friendly but firm grip. Can't have anyone backing out now, can they?
"Hiding low looking right to left
If you see us coming I think it's best
To move away do you hear what I say
From under my breath"
They will quickly learn that Jim is a performer. And while they're on stage, he's going to expect them to perform with him, even if he has to lead them around with his arms.Last edited by Deathkeeper; 2020-03-02 at 10:16 PM.

Re: Home 25: Still making mortgage payments
[Fort Aegis]
Sylvess spreads his wings out and floats lazily upon the water with a very contented smile upon his face.
When was the last time they took a day to just enjoy themselves?
Well...not that long ago to be fair, they have been seeing plenty of each other, but still, clearly too long ago.
"Yessss, we'd need a room for Sam and one for Lucy. But there's plenty of space. Spruce up the fort a bit, make it look less fort-y, maybe open up a few more rooms-" He pauses and opens an eye, fixing it on Spako. "Make it a proooper resort, maybe? I-I think it could be done, don't you? People could book themselves in for a-a few days a-and reeeeally rechaaarge." He stretches, splashes, awkwardly readjusts himself and snorts at the treacherous water. "I-I had a friend called Vixie who was really good at this sort of thing. She could turn a profit out of anything. W-well, she wasn't the only one, b-but she was particularly good at playing hostess a-and running this sort of business. She'd know how to fix this place up right. So if she can do it, so can I!"Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes.

Spako drifts on the water, less animated but enjoying himself no less.
”I think it could be done, yes. But remember that the kobolds live here. The more we expand the resort the more we would be pushing them out. Unless they plan on digging more into the mountain. We should save room for them is all. Honestly they did a half decent job starting the process....” he looks around at the carved wooden separators. Not a bad start at all.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

Sylvess closes his eyes and rolls over onto his back. "Oh, there's pleeenty of space around here. I-I'm sure the kobolds can keep digging a-and make themselves a whole little colony in these tunnels around My Fort." He lets out a soft growl.
And then pauses, and tilts his head round to look at Spako, one eye lazily re-opening. "I-I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me. I think I'm feeling- um, I-I think I remember reading this thing saying that even a very old a-and wise dragon could become very teritorial from time to time. Uh, particularly when they're, um-" His words devolve into awkward stammers for a moment, and he paddles over a little closer to Spako.

Re: Home 25: Still making mortgage payments
Fort Aegis
Spako raises an ear-fin. He doesn’t actually spend enough time around dragons to notice them getting territorial. Cleo is a very unusual dragon. And kobolds usually just protect the eggs as a community...
”Oh right. Well. Speaking of...should we ask them if we can...handle that here? It would certainly be a good place to keep eggs for a while. We’d just have to make sure we can trust them with them.” The whole place is a natural incubator after all.
And after they’re done they can go for a swim and feel better.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

Div adds his own high, quavery voice to the song. He seems a little comforted by the other lads, smiling at them with sidelong glances. He stammers a little when he looks out at the people, but once he gets started he's actually pretty good. Of course, the lyrics of the song don't fit a guy like him at all, so he punctuates the last of the third verse with a giggle.

Re: Home 25: Still making mortgage payments
[Cass' Tower]
Time passes as Cass and Electra spend the afternoon and evening cuddling. The latter, for her part, is dealing with a massive headache, but seems otherwise physically ok, and she cooks supper for Cass, a strange sort of home-style cooking, chicken in gravy with vegetables and biscuits, somewhat similar to a pot pie, but with the filing on the outside, slathered over the biscuits. Despite the odd nature of the cuisine, it's surprisingly good. When it's finally time to use the staff Cass had brought out earlier, she looks a bit worried.

Re: Home 25: Still making mortgage payments
Benedict's Manse
Despite the opulence of the carriage, Benedict's home isn't quite as impressive as one would expect. It primarily consists of a seven-storey round tower with a flat, crenellated roof, all made from rough, black basalt. Built around it is a red brick two-storey cottage, with several large windows and fancy brickwork and arches. A flint stone barn standing off to one side has been refurbished into a coach house. The house is built on a cliff-edged headland overlooking the sea, and there's the greyish-white ribs of an immense leviathan set into the ground like immense posts marking the edge of the estate. Just inside the border is a small graveyard, with three worn marble headstones and a marble mausoleum bound with heavy bronze chains. Ten skeletons carrying spears and wearing black robes march about the estate on patrol, saluting the carriage as it passes.
The coach pulls up first of all outside the cottage-and-tower, where the coachman will help both Miri and Benedict to disembark. "Welcome to my home. It's not much, but it's mine." Benedict smiles, looking at the house with fondness. "Whilst you are here, I must warn you that the cliff isn't entirely stable. Stay away from the edge. Also, avoid my grandfather's mausoleum, especially if it calls your name. If it does, let me know immediately. There are certain ritual rooms in the tower that are locked; please don't try to enter them. The ritual arrays are sensitive, and your presence could disrupt things in strange and unusual ways."Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

"It's not much? I've never had any place as big as this!" Miri has to comment.
She waves to the skeletons as they approach.
"No cliffs, no mausoleum, no ritual rooms. Okay."
Pointing at the giant bone markers, she asks "What did these come from?"

Re: Home 25: Still making mortgage payments
Benedict's Manse
"There were several other towers and outbuildings on this estate a few hundred years ago. The cliffs are crumbling, and they've all ended in the sea. Those are from a leviathan. A dead one. It washed up when I was about seven, after a bad storm." So really, it is quite small compared to what Benedict's family is used to.
"I have several guest bedrooms. Would you prefer a tower room or one in the manor? Tower has the better view, but the manor has more modern amenities." So it depends on if Miri wants to look at the ocean or use a flushing toilet.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Cass certainly enjoys the food, and seems happy to spend the rest of the evening cuddling with her girlfriend.
Cass holds the rod in front of her. "We just... go to sleep," she says, running a finger along the darkened wood. "And I'll appear in a dream-shard of my construction. From there, I can pull Wenomir out of-"

"I-I guess? It seems like a pretty good place for it. If I just spent like a day digging out a new cavern somewhere in here a-and, um..." Sylvess pauses and sighs. "Sorry. I'm letting myself get carried away a bit. B-but I guess I like this place, so, um, yes? We should- we should e-enjoy our bath a-and then go sit down with them a-and talk about what we need a-and what we can offer and...stuff." Does that make sense?

Re: Home 25: Still making mortgage payments
[Cass' Tower -> Cass' Dreamshard]
Cass smiles drowsily, giving Electra a gentle squeeze.
"Works for me," she murmurs, closing her eyes.
And assuming no further complaint, she'll first off to sleep... only to appear in her study again.
Or rather, a room that looks a good deal like, but is not *quite* her study. It's a lot smaller for one, lacking several of the bookshelves, instead mostly being a circle of armchairs and cozy cushions ringing a warm fireplace. There aren't any stairs up or down out of the study, and the windows are much larger, taking up most of the walls - and rather than looking out over fields and farmland, as in real life, look out over a serene lake, giving the room the impression of being right on the water. Sleeping on the writing desk is a cream-and-coffee colored cat, and on a perch adjacent to it snoozes a small brown songbird.
Cass, still holding the staff, steps out of the dreamshard and into the space between dreams, where she finds Electra's dream rather quickly, given that they fell asleep in each others' arms. In Electra's dream, whatever it is she's currently dreaming, a magpie will appear, and spirit her into Cassandra's dreamshard.Last edited by Ashen Lilies; 2020-03-08 at 11:48 PM.

Re: Home 25: Still making mortgage payments
Benedict's Manse
"Hard to be sure. Probably about seventy years, give or take. Except the tower. That... One of my ancestors enchanted it to fly, and whilst it's been anchored for several centuries now, it remembers the journey so making it fly again would be easier than the first time." Benedict walks to the front door and opens it, revealing a large, open double-height greeting room, with the tower making the far wall, with the plain and unadorned heavy, rivet-studded door to the tower in the centre. There's a staircase on each side of the room, up to a mezzanine floor. Several interesting items provide decoration in this chamber; a stone statue of a winged, reptilian humanoid in armour, poised as though it should be holding something like a sword or axe, with a steel sword lodged in the figure's torso. The trunk of a white-barked tree, carved with a face. An iron Romanesque helmet on a podium. A glass dome with several taxidermied faeries underneath and a leather boot.
"The bedrooms are up there. The kitchens through there, and my study is that way. If you can't find me there, I'll be in the tower. Send my coachman to find me if you can't." Benedict points out as he speaks.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

"Is there anyone else here that's alive?" Just curious
Miri stands in the doorway and marvels at the height of the cottage.
Then she manages to head inside and marvel at all the weird things as she looks at their appearances and any magic that's probably in them.
She waves to the statue, the trunk, and the fairies. But doesn't touch anything.
And eventually, she'll make her way to the bedrooms.

Re: Home 25: Still making mortgage payments
[Cass' Tower -> Cass' Dreamshard]
Electra's dream is easy to find, and inside, the magpie will find Electra in a similar room to Cass' dreamshard, though hers looks out on a frozen mountain rather than a lake. She's reclining in the chair and playing an idle melody on a guitar, humming along. Notably, the cat and bird are missing, but when she hums along with the guitar, there's a second voice along with her own, similar, but higher, clearly a soprano, with a cheerfulness to its tone that's foreign to the way Electra usually speaks or sings. If the magpie looks closely before spiriting Electra off, she might notice three spectral figures reclining in the other chairs, but Electra looks to the magpie when it enters, and gets up, offering her hand to make it easier to spirit her back to Cass' dreamshard.
Once she's in Cass's dreamshard, she'll give the sorceress a quick peck on the cheek and a hug.

Re: Home 25: Still making mortgage payments
Benedict's Manse
"In the house? Myself, you, and the cook. I have two guests in the basement currently, they should still be alive. Technically the manservant, too. Demons are stronger when bound inside a living host, rather than a dead one." Benedict has never trusted an undead cook. The manservant might also not count, as he no longer needs to worry about eating, sleeping or any other mortal concern.
They're mostly curiosities, though the statue was alive- it's an artificial creature that was designed to self-petrify when it died, to hinder its killer. Normally they crumble to dust after a few minutes, to recover the weapons afterwards, but this one has had that aspect of the magic suppressed. The leather boot is half of a pair of boots cursed to force the wearer to dance; the other one is missing. The Roman helmet is under the effect of several enchantments designed to preserve it and prevent it rusting, but won't affect the helmet's performance in battle.
There's three spare bedrooms. All richly appointed with four-poster beds, large (empty) wardrobes, a vanity, a desk and chair and an en suite bathroom and toilet. One is decorated in red, with a theme of flesh and internal organs; there's an anatomical painting over the wardrobe, the posts are carved to resemble muscles, the door handles are bones, and so on. One is decorated in green, with a forest theme; the frills on the bedding are shaped like leaves, there's a potted fern by the window, the painting is of a tiger stalking a woman washing clothes in a forest pool, all the furniture is unpainted and deeply polished to show the grain and the lights are shaped like flowers. The third bedroom is decorated in blue, with a nautical theme. The painting is of a whale hunt, the furniture has all been salvaged from ships, the bed's curtains are cut to resemble sails, a withered mummified Jenny Hanniver 'mermaid' sits in a glass case on the vanity and the door handles are shells. Each room has a bookshelf covered in books on relevant subjects- the Red Room covers medicine, anatomy, religion and death; the Green Room covers survival, botany, biology, ethnology, and geography; and the Blue Room covers shipwrights, meteorology, oceanography, ichthyology, piracy and navigation.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle.

Guests who should be alive? In the basement? That doesn't sound great. Maybe she should start worrying.
Where does Benedict go?
Oh! Look at all these. The red room is pretty, and the green room is too, if a little weird, and then!
The blue room!
Miri jumps into the bed and lays down, stretching her arms out. So comfy. "Ah." She hasn't seen such a comfy bed in...ever.
After a couple minutes, she hops up and heads to the bathroom, where she'll be washing up for...quite a while. Benedict has towels, hopefully?

Re: Home 25: Still making mortgage payments
[Cass' Dreamshard]
"No, that's okay. You can just wait here while I look for Wenomir," says Cass, briefly in elven form to receive the hug and the kiss. She's dressed in a slightly more formal outfit than what she was wearing while awake - a beige, high-collared jacket with golden embroidery on the front, with a slashed brown cape. Electra might find her own clothes to be a lot more... mutable here, depending on how strong her focus is. She'll find her outfit liable to change with her moods. Cass herself seems a little anxious, which may be the emotion to which her more formal attire is owed.
"It might take me a while to find his dream. I've never tried before. I... *think* I can do it. We'll see."
She gives Electra a nervous smile, and then takes a step out of the dreamshard into nothing. Electra will be given the faintest, dreamlike impression of her becoming a magpie again (though she doesn't *physically* turn into one) as she enters the place between dreams, leaving Electra alone in the dreamshard with the cat and the songbird.
Or... not alone? The songbird is gone, and in one of the armchairs is sitting a dark elf with legs crossed, holding the stem of a glass of red wine in his delicate fingers. Electra will find the elf to be remarkably, even uncannily resembling of Cass. Almost identical, in fact, with the same elegant features and silvery eyes, though this elf seems unmistakably male, and his white hair is tied back into a short ponytail, rather than worn loose as Cass does. He's dressed in a loose white shirt, high-waisted black pants, and glossy thigh-high boots. He examines the glass of wine with a look of intense speculation on his face, appearing as though he hasn't noticed Electra at all, though that'd be a little farfetched, given the intimacy of the room and the fact that Electra and Cass were just talking right in front of him.Originally Posted by Lord Magtok

Re: Home 25: Still making mortgage payments
Benedict's Manse
Benedict's gone to the kitchens, alert the cook as to the nature and presence of Miri, and then to the study to examine the wand properly.
And Miri hasn't been taken to the basement, so she likely doesn't have to worry about becoming that kind of guest. Probably not impossible; if she wants to meet them, maybe she could ask Benedict to take her?
There are towels in the bathroom. They're quite musty, haven't been used or switched for a while, but they're fluffy, new and effective. When she leaves the bathroom, there's a lady in her thirties wearing a simple green dress and a plain steel chain about her neck in the room. She's got pale skin, like she doesn't get enough sun, pale brown hair and wide green eyes. She's carrying some clothes folded over her arm and a fine silver plate with some soft-looking sandwiches on it. "Oh! Hello. I'm Sara, the cook. I've brought some clothes for you, and sandwiches. Benedict didn't know when you'd last eaten, so I thought you might be hungry. Supper's a few hours away, yet. Benedict usually eats shortly after sundown."Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!
