Ill Met By Moo-Light

[aelwyn_aberration]

Who: Aelwyn Abernant & YOU?
When: 4th of September, two days after the last night of the circus.
Where: Holy Cow Ice Cream Cafe
Summary: A meeting, away from the prying eyes of ADI.
Warnings: TBA?



[Aelwyn mentioned offhand that they should discuss a plan of attack in person, away from the prying ever-present eyes of the ADI. Pretty early in the morning she tells a few people she thinks are tight with enough people to make a meeting work without having to go through the regular channels and one things leads to another and eventually, a meeting is organized.

At an Ice Cream place, which, to be fair, makes a really good milkshake. Aelwyn arrived here extra early, just to check that she managed to actually book the place and keep it away from prying eyes. Luckily, it seems that whatever money she has, it's good enough to afford one booking.

So she's there, at the table, a cup of ice cream in her hand.]

I think we've all got out suspicions, right? And I'd say a lot of us are sick of not knowing when we're being watched by those who claim to be protecting us.

Who wants to start? [Logically, she knows she should, but she's a dramatic bitch, so why should she.]

Comments

open to trhreadjacks!

[ and here's keith sitting with a strawberry milkshake in hand. ]

Think we should take this as an opportunity to talk about both. There's been a lot of messed up things going on and ADI hasn't exactly been entirely forthcoming.

[ a beat. ]

What happeend to your face?

[ because apparently nobody told keith you don't just ask questions like that. ]

[guildmastermind]

Pyre slapped me. Apparently his flesh turns to hot wax if you manage to upset him enough. I was very determined to get information out of him, and that was an interesting fact to learn.

[He smiles, even though doing so hurts.]

I've got a bit more information from and about him--and relating to the circus as a whole.

[aelwyn_aberration]

He threatened to do the same to me. He's fond of doing that, isn't he? [She rests her head on her fist.]

Go on...? [She desires the facts.]

[guildmastermind]

Well, I pointed out that he'd be nothing without the circus, that Fenix rescued him from a life of obscurity and loneliness and that he could be dropped at any time. You know, just pointing out the hooks Fenix has in him. Pyre seems like he might have been a sweet kid to begin with. He's just desperate to be seen.

[aelwyn_aberration]

Yes... he's a very naive person. I gave him a warning to doubt his saviour more but I had spent the last five minutes mocking him and threatening him, so I don't think he listened.

So ungrateful...

[marmoron]

So he's... made out of wax? Or at least he can turn parts of himself into wax?

[ .... ]

Sounds like the Fenix Down Extravaganza and the old Smoke and Mirrors circus that Charles Moore was a part of aren't all that dissimilar after all.

[guildmastermind]

Oh? What do you mean by that?

[Shiroe's intrigued by that comment--that's not something he's come across in his research, yet.]

[marmoron]

Yeah. The old circus was apparently known for fire based performances and a traveling wax museum. Didn't read anything about fun houses or mirrors.

[guildmastermind]

Wax has been coming up as a theme--not just with Pyre. Someone found candles, and lots of them in Fenix's and Penny's train cars.
