Tobias arrived at 8:40 PM.
Spoke to Dalia Tor (Kadakism), Ferra (Max!!), Saeta (Kada), Tam Te'oma (Boop), Wednesday (Kadakism)
Tobias checked out the community center for the first time, expressing his concern for how sick Dalia clearly was. When she attempted to argue she wasn't sick, Tobias argued back, pointing out that she clearly was. They ended up talking to Ferra a bit, and when Saeta arrived, they talked a bit about Eden (formerly known as Temptations). Saeta complimented him, describing him as both shrewed and mature, and made Tobias fairly embarrassed as a result.
He explained the point of Home Sweet Home, and was surprised when Saeta seemed genuinely interested in it, mentioning she wanted to come by. She did seem upset though, and Tobias felt bad after giving her a business card, confident she had some kind of issue he wasn't sure of.
He ended up explaining the general idea to Tam, seeming to convince Ferra in the process.
Wednesday arrived, bumping into a chair, and Tobias spoke to them a bit, learning they were new to the island.

-nods to them, and heads out-
25 Feb 18, 11:30 PMMahiri Balewa
Ah, nice meeting you Tobias.
25 Feb 18, 11:29 PMMahiri Balewa
Oh, yeah. It is late.
25 Feb 18, 11:29 PMTobias Haynes
I think that's fair. It was nice meeting you - But I should probably be heading out.Class in the morning
25 Feb 18, 11:28 PMMahiri Balewa
I'm not super worried. Just all those silly daydreams of being a witch or something
25 Feb 18, 11:26 PMTobias Haynes
I wouldn't really worry about it. See what comes up while you're here, and you'll find something.
25 Feb 18, 11:26 PMMahiri Balewa
Be just my luck
25 Feb 18, 11:26 PMMahiri Balewa
Watch me be a full on muggle though.
25 Feb 18, 11:23 PMTobias Haynes
mmm. Kinda depends on what you want. The school teaches magic classes that a lot of people can pick up, although personal aptitude plays into it.
25 Feb 18, 11:23 PMMahiri Balewa
I feel like no matter what I'd pick, I'd always have a nagging feeling like I chose wrong.
25 Feb 18, 11:22 PMMahiri Balewa
No clue where I'd even begin, to be honest with you.
25 Feb 18, 11:21 PMTobias Haynes
You could always get something.
25 Feb 18, 11:21 PMMahiri Balewa
I guess. Still. I think I'd prefer to have something. I could figure it out.
25 Feb 18, 11:19 PMTobias Haynes
Yeah. They... really bad burns. They just can't ever use their power again. So power bracelet forever.
25 Feb 18, 11:19 PMMahiri Balewa
I'm guessing they weren't immune to the fire?
25 Feb 18, 11:15 PMTobias Haynes
Like the kid who could burst into flames. -shivers-
25 Feb 18, 11:15 PMMahiri Balewa
I'd take just about anything, really.
25 Feb 18, 11:15 PMMahiri Balewa
-shrugs-
25 Feb 18, 11:15 PMTobias Haynes
Like, for the most part powers will seem pretty cool, but thats mostly because people who have powers that are bad don't talk about them... or aren't around to talk about them.
25 Feb 18, 11:13 PMTobias Haynes
There are some that are just really, realy bad.
25 Feb 18, 11:12 PMTobias Haynes
...eh. Not really.
25 Feb 18, 11:11 PMMahiri Balewa
You can make anything useful.
25 Feb 18, 11:11 PMTobias Haynes
I mean, there's lots of people without powers. Or people with powers that aren't particularly useful.
25 Feb 18, 11:10 PMMahiri Balewa
That's cool at least. I don't have any powers. Just handy with a computer and a healthy level of paranoia. -laughs a little-
25 Feb 18, 11:10 PMTobias Haynes
But you're right. It's generally safer not to assume anyone's human unless they say it.
25 Feb 18, 11:09 PMMahiri Balewa
Oh
25 Feb 18, 11:09 PMTobias Haynes
Human-with-powers.
25 Feb 18, 11:09 PMTobias Haynes
I'm a human, actually. :")
25 Feb 18, 11:09 PMMahiri Balewa
I don't assume anyone is human at this point. So some kind of progress.
25 Feb 18, 11:08 PMMahiri Balewa
So are you... like
25 Feb 18, 11:07 PMMahiri Balewa
I guess so, yeah
25 Feb 18, 11:06 PMTobias Haynes
Yeah, but internal smugness is the best part.
25 Feb 18, 11:06 PMMahiri Balewa
I feel pretty smug, yeah. Only I can't even run it in anyone's face.
25 Feb 18, 11:05 PMTobias Haynes
-glances backa nd watches Tam go-
25 Feb 18, 11:05 PMTam Te'oma (demon)
*suddenly gets up and stalks away*
25 Feb 18, 11:04 PMTobias Haynes
Well, now you're right! So you can feel smug.
25 Feb 18, 11:03 PMMahiri Balewa
Nobody really likes the weird kid who believes in cryptids.
25 Feb 18, 11:02 PMMahiri Balewa
Mostly I'm still getting used not being the butt of jokes.
25 Feb 18, 11:02 PMTobias Haynes
You'll get used to a lot of things in time..
25 Feb 18, 11:02 PMMahiri Balewa
I'm trying.
25 Feb 18, 11:02 PMTobias Haynes
You'll get used to it in time.
25 Feb 18, 11:00 PMTobias Haynes
-doooooesnt' even flinch-
25 Feb 18, 11:00 PMMahiri Balewa
Oh geez... I still need to get used to that.
25 Feb 18, 11:00 PMMahiri Balewa
-jumps a little at the transformation-
25 Feb 18, 10:59 PMTam Te'oma (demon)
*shifts back and curls gingerly on a beanbag. Tail lashing*
25 Feb 18, 10:59 PMTobias Haynes
Oh. :") I'm sorry to hear that.
25 Feb 18, 10:58 PMMahiri Balewa
And it's not like I really have anything going for me back home :")
25 Feb 18, 10:58 PMTobias Haynes
Oh, probably, yeah. We're pretty relaxed.
25 Feb 18, 10:57 PMMahiri Balewa
It's nicer here for me though. The political climate and all that.
25 Feb 18, 10:57 PMMahiri Balewa
I guess.
25 Feb 18, 10:57 PMTobias Haynes
It's interesting if you've only ever known the island. Sometimes the rest of the world seems so... weird.
25 Feb 18, 10:56 PMMahiri Balewa
Not as interesting as here, by far.
25 Feb 18, 10:55 PMMahiri Balewa
It's a good place. Mostly.
25 Feb 18, 10:55 PMTam Te'oma
*mutters. It's just another drug then. Not even a good one*
25 Feb 18, 10:55 PMTobias Haynes
Oh! New York City... I kinda wanna go some day.
25 Feb 18, 10:55 PMMahiri Balewa
Yeah, I'm from NYC.
25 Feb 18, 10:54 PMMahiri Balewa
Of course I do @Tam
25 Feb 18, 10:54 PMTobias Haynes
... -not entirely getting it- Oh, are you from, uh, the outside world?
25 Feb 18, 10:54 PMMahiri Balewa
I mean I can't take all the credit. Thursday and Saturday helped with a lot of stuff.
25 Feb 18, 10:54 PMTam Te'oma
Knowledge... you still want more? Don't you? :/
25 Feb 18, 10:53 PMMahiri Balewa
The supernatural stuff
25 Feb 18, 10:52 PMTobias Haynes
That all this... exists?
25 Feb 18, 10:52 PMMahiri Balewa
Oh no. I figured out that all this exists.
25 Feb 18, 10:51 PMTobias Haynes
Why you're here- oh, you just mean to go to school?
25 Feb 18, 10:51 PMTam Te'oma
*eyes narrow slightly in thought*
25 Feb 18, 10:50 PMMahiri Balewa
It's why I'm here.
25 Feb 18, 10:50 PMMahiri Balewa
I like knowledge, yeah.
25 Feb 18, 10:50 PMTobias Haynes
Nice to meet you. I'm Tobias.
25 Feb 18, 10:49 PMTam Te'oma
*eyes mahiri* another one who wants knowledge?
25 Feb 18, 10:49 PMMahiri Balewa
Oh sorry. I'm M- my name is Wednesday.
25 Feb 18, 10:48 PMTobias Haynes
Oh. Can't say I know much about it, honestly. :")
25 Feb 18, 10:47 PMMahiri Balewa
Y-yeah... it's one of my hobbies.
25 Feb 18, 10:46 PMTobias Haynes
Oh. Crypto... codes and stuff?
25 Feb 18, 10:46 PMMahiri Balewa
-looks at the floor, kind of embarrassed-
25 Feb 18, 10:46 PMMahiri Balewa
O-oh... just some stuff on cryptography.
25 Feb 18, 10:45 PMTam Te'oma
*shrugs and winces* it might be nice...
25 Feb 18, 10:44 PMTobias Haynes
-o-oops- What are you reading? :')
25 Feb 18, 10:42 PMMahiri Balewa
-bumps into a chair- ouch...
25 Feb 18, 10:42 PMTobias Haynes
-starts to wave at Mahiri, but then... she totally isn't even looking-
25 Feb 18, 10:41 PMTam Te'oma
Maybe when I get a job. *remembers something and smiles*
25 Feb 18, 10:41 PMMahiri Balewa
-walks in, head stuck in a hook-
25 Feb 18, 10:39 PMTobias Haynes
You could give it a try. Affection is a... pretty common request, I think.
25 Feb 18, 10:38 PMTam Te'oma
*subdued* I like the idea.
25 Feb 18, 10:36 PMTobias Haynes
With them, I mean. With... you get it. -rubs at forehead a bit-
25 Feb 18, 10:35 PMTobias Haynes
Most people enjoy other people being affectionate with it, yeah.
25 Feb 18, 10:35 PMTam Te'oma
People enjoy it?
25 Feb 18, 10:35 PMTam Te'oma
Affection is... not something I get a lot of. :|c
25 Feb 18, 10:34 PMFerra(Max)
But conversation is nice
25 Feb 18, 10:34 PMFerra(Max)
I don't actually need a shrink and I have work friends don't get me wrong......
25 Feb 18, 10:34 PMTobias Haynes
Always seemed silly that you could pay for sex, but couldn't really pay someone to cuddle with, without everyone giving you weird looks and saying you're wasting your money.
25 Feb 18, 10:33 PMTobias Haynes
Affection is a big part of it, yeah.
25 Feb 18, 10:33 PMTam Te'oma
:/
25 Feb 18, 10:33 PMTam Te'oma
People give you affection without?... That seems... novel.
25 Feb 18, 10:32 PMTobias Haynes
:') -this has gone so well, feels... happy. definitely happy that is the emotion he is feeling-
25 Feb 18, 10:31 PMFerra(Max)
I might....
25 Feb 18, 10:31 PMFerra(Max)
Hm......
25 Feb 18, 10:31 PMTam Te'oma
*considers this*
25 Feb 18, 10:29 PMTobias Haynes
We actually have some people do that. Not quite therapy, but like... someone to listen to your problems. Lots do that as part of their visit at least.
25 Feb 18, 10:29 PMFerra(Max)
Honestly if I were ever in one I'd just be paying for conversation
25 Feb 18, 10:29 PMTobias Haynes
You go there if you want affection and an experience, rather than just a physical thing.
25 Feb 18, 10:28 PMTobias Haynes
Yeah. That's the idea - it's uh, a bit more... modest then most brothels?
25 Feb 18, 10:28 PMFerra(Max)
WellI think he mentioned they offer the "girlfriend experience" yeah?
25 Feb 18, 10:26 PMTam Te'oma
*looks at the card again and tucks it away somewhere* that seems to be an... odd name for a brothel?
25 Feb 18, 10:25 PMFerra(Max)
*looks at her tail*
25 Feb 18, 10:25 PMFerra(Max)
=|c
25 Feb 18, 10:23 PMTam Te'oma
Mmhm
25 Feb 18, 10:21 PMTobias Haynes
Lots of crossover.
25 Feb 18, 10:21 PMTobias Haynes
Sometimes they look a bit draconic...
25 Feb 18, 10:21 PMTobias Haynes
Well, you'd be the one to know. ...Demon, maybe?
25 Feb 18, 10:20 PMTam Te'oma
Not that I know of
25 Feb 18, 10:20 PMTobias Haynes
So you're not a dragon?
25 Feb 18, 10:19 PMTam Te'oma
But I think a dragon might not want to be compared to me. *examines the card*
25 Feb 18, 10:18 PMTobias Haynes
Oh! Yeah. I mean... ...Well, they check ID there.. -pauses, mumbles to self, fishes out a business card to hand over-
25 Feb 18, 10:18 PMTam Te'oma
*shifts* oh I assure you I'm an adult.
25 Feb 18, 10:15 PMTobias Haynes
.... Uh, I mean, your age shouldn't depend. -tucks business cards away-
25 Feb 18, 10:15 PMTam Te'oma (demon)
That depends.
25 Feb 18, 10:14 PMTam Te'oma (demon)
*rears up on two feet and tilts head* mm dragon... *clearly amused*
25 Feb 18, 10:13 PMFerra(Max)
*squints*
25 Feb 18, 10:12 PMTobias Haynes
How... uh, old are you? ...Sorry, dragons are impossible to gauge :")
25 Feb 18, 10:11 PMTam Te'oma (demon)
It might. I have heard them mentioned.
25 Feb 18, 10:10 PMTobias Haynes
Oh, uh- not me. The business. -shows card- It's a brothel, not sure if that interests you at all.
25 Feb 18, 10:09 PMTam Te'oma (demon)
What is it you do?
25 Feb 18, 10:09 PMTam Te'oma (demon)
*lazy wave at Tobias. Moves closer.* business cards?
25 Feb 18, 10:08 PMSaeta (Kada)
-leaves quietly-
25 Feb 18, 10:08 PMTobias Haynes
Hopefully your night, uh, goes well. -definitely gets the vibe he's thrown something off, but... not entirely sure what-
25 Feb 18, 10:07 PMSaeta (Kada)
Thank you very much. I... I should go.
25 Feb 18, 10:07 PMSaeta (Kada)
-takes the business card. bows-
25 Feb 18, 10:06 PMTobias Haynes
Hey there. -waves to... the dragon??? Sure thinks it's a dragon anyway-
25 Feb 18, 10:05 PMTam Te'oma (demon)
*enters on all fours eyeing everyone curiously*
25 Feb 18, 10:04 PMFerra(Max)
*stretches*
25 Feb 18, 10:02 PMTobias Haynes
-presents nice little business card after a moment-
25 Feb 18, 10:00 PMTobias Haynes
-DIGS FURIOUSLY IN POCKET FOR BUSINESS CARD-
25 Feb 18, 10:00 PMTobias Haynes
You're welcome to! We're always taking new clients, and we've got men and women of all types.
25 Feb 18, 09:58 PMSaeta (Kada)
I might, ah... visit.
25 Feb 18, 09:57 PMTobias Haynes
It's a pretty friendly atmosphere, so everyone knows everyone else and it helps keep things lowkey. Really just one security person on duty at any given time, but we're a lot smaller.
25 Feb 18, 09:56 PMSaeta (Kada)
It sounds pleasant.
25 Feb 18, 09:56 PMTobias Haynes
It's pretty different, yeah. The idea is to fill that niche for people, give them the option.
25 Feb 18, 09:55 PMSaeta (Kada)
Nothing. I'm just... surprised. That seems very nice.
25 Feb 18, 09:54 PMTobias Haynes
-nervous af-
25 Feb 18, 09:54 PMTobias Haynes
...Er - sorry?
25 Feb 18, 09:54 PMSaeta (Kada)
-looks at the floor for a second-
25 Feb 18, 09:53 PMSaeta (Kada)
O-oh...
25 Feb 18, 09:53 PMTobias Haynes
Uh, basically we're about as close to a 'family friendly' brothel as you can get. Girlfriend experience, cuddling, all the stuff you generally wouldn't get
25 Feb 18, 09:53 PMSaeta (Kada)
So what does your proprietorship cater to?
25 Feb 18, 09:50 PMTobias Haynes
We've certainly got variety.
25 Feb 18, 09:50 PMSaeta (Kada)
The things that happen here are, honestly, generally more entertaining.
25 Feb 18, 09:49 PMSaeta (Kada)
War is nothing special to me anymore.
25 Feb 18, 09:49 PMSaeta (Kada)
Again, I imagine.
25 Feb 18, 09:48 PMTobias Haynes
I mean, I've never really seen, uh, war, but I've seen a lot of stuff on the island at least.
25 Feb 18, 09:46 PMSaeta (Kada)
So I've seen a lot. Not a lot surprises me.
25 Feb 18, 09:46 PMSaeta (Kada)
I was a general before I came here.
25 Feb 18, 09:45 PMSaeta (Kada)
I imagine, yes.
25 Feb 18, 09:45 PMTobias Haynes
The adjustment seems really hard.
25 Feb 18, 09:45 PMTobias Haynes
Honestly, a part of me kind of... feels bad for those who grew up in the narrow reality?
25 Feb 18, 09:44 PMFerra(Max)
Pfft
25 Feb 18, 09:43 PMTobias Haynes
:laffinneko:
25 Feb 18, 09:43 PMSaeta (Kada)
I love her
25 Feb 18, 09:43 PMSaeta (Kada)
She's disgusting
25 Feb 18, 09:43 PMTobias Haynes
I mean, she's a goddess of... lust. Makes sense she'd be fine with it. :')
25 Feb 18, 09:42 PMSaeta (Kada)
Though I was created fully formed by who might be one of the most sexually open people on the island.
25 Feb 18, 09:41 PMTobias Haynes
or even who have been on the island, but whose families have objectiosn to it.
25 Feb 18, 09:41 PMSaeta (Kada)
Q
25 Feb 18, 09:41 PMTobias Haynes
There's still a lot of people on the island who have upbringings from the narrow reality, whree that kind of thing isn't accepted.
25 Feb 18, 09:41 PMFerra(Max)
It surprises me as well
25 Feb 18, 09:41 PMTobias Haynes
People are really effected by what they grow up with, basically.
25 Feb 18, 09:40 PMSaeta (Kada)
It's good. Too many people here are prudish. I don't understand it.
25 Feb 18, 09:40 PMSaeta (Kada)
-nods-
25 Feb 18, 09:40 PMFerra(Max)
*nods*
25 Feb 18, 09:40 PMTobias Haynes
T-thanks. -definitely looks embarrassed- I just kind of grew up around it, so I'm used to dealing with that kinda thing.
25 Feb 18, 09:39 PMSaeta (Kada)
Mature.
25 Feb 18, 09:39 PMSaeta (Kada)
You seem shrewd.
25 Feb 18, 09:39 PMTobias Haynes
But I still try and pay attention to whats going on over there. Good to know the industry. :nodneko:
25 Feb 18, 09:38 PMSaeta (Kada)
Very different, I imagine.
25 Feb 18, 09:37 PMTobias Haynes
We're not really in direct competition with Eden, I don't think. Different clientelle.
25 Feb 18, 09:37 PMTobias Haynes
Not many have, but it's nice knowing people at least have heard of it.
25 Feb 18, 09:37 PMFerra(Max)
But I know it
25 Feb 18, 09:37 PMFerra(Max)
Never been
25 Feb 18, 09:37 PMFerra(Max)
I know it
25 Feb 18, 09:37 PMSaeta (Kada)
I think?
25 Feb 18, 09:37 PMFerra(Max)
=|c
25 Feb 18, 09:37 PMSaeta (Kada)
-thinks-
25 Feb 18, 09:36 PMTobias Haynes
Oh! Uh, my business is 'Home Sweet Home'. If you've heard of it.
25 Feb 18, 09:36 PMSaeta (Kada)
So what is your proprietorship? @Tobias
25 Feb 18, 09:34 PMSaeta (Kada)
-nods-
25 Feb 18, 09:34 PMFerra(Max)
Different job.....
25 Feb 18, 09:34 PMFerra(Max)
Different world
25 Feb 18, 09:34 PMFerra(Max)
It was a different time
25 Feb 18, 09:34 PMTobias Haynes
... I... could definitely not do that.
25 Feb 18, 09:32 PMFerra(Max)
I'd have periods where I'd hibernate for a century or so
25 Feb 18, 09:31 PMSaeta (Kada)
I was told to wait. So I waited.
25 Feb 18, 09:31 PMTobias Haynes
... That sounds like hell.
25 Feb 18, 09:31 PMSaeta (Kada)
-nods- I once sat in place for a thousand years. I lost track of everything after the second century.
25 Feb 18, 09:31 PMFerra(Max)
More like too much eating in my case =|
25 Feb 18, 09:30 PMTobias Haynes
I mean like, you end up with too much time on your hands and then it's really easy to just... get lost in your own thoughts. Too much thinking, not enoug hworking.
25 Feb 18, 09:30 PMSaeta (Kada)
But it doesn't suit me. I prefer working.
25 Feb 18, 09:29 PMSaeta (Kada)
I mean, I have been idle for long periods of time before.
25 Feb 18, 09:29 PMTobias Haynes
Having too much time on your hands can be... bad...
25 Feb 18, 09:28 PMSaeta (Kada)
It is. I also hate being idle
25 Feb 18, 09:28 PMTobias Haynes
That makes sense. Having a job is... pretty important.
25 Feb 18, 09:25 PMSaeta (Kada)
She released me from my service to her, so I went looking for work.
25 Feb 18, 09:23 PMSaeta (Kada)
She owns Theia modeling and Muse fashion.
25 Feb 18, 09:23 PMTobias Haynes
I don't think I've met her though.
25 Feb 18, 09:23 PMTobias Haynes
Oh! I heard of her I think.
25 Feb 18, 09:23 PMSaeta (Kada)
Malara Tor. Goddess of lust and battle.
25 Feb 18, 09:22 PMTobias Haynes
Your lord?
25 Feb 18, 09:22 PMSaeta (Kada)
Somewhat. I came here... last year, I believe? Following my Lord.
25 Feb 18, 09:21 PMTobias Haynes
Are you new to the island?
25 Feb 18, 09:20 PMSaeta (Kada)
Mmm.
25 Feb 18, 09:19 PMTobias Haynes
Not old enough to have started it and have it be half-decent.
25 Feb 18, 09:19 PMTobias Haynes
Uh. Eighteen. I inherited it though.
25 Feb 18, 09:19 PMSaeta (Kada)
How old are you, that you're in this business?
25 Feb 18, 09:17 PMSaeta (Kada)
I don't deal with the workers directly.
25 Feb 18, 09:16 PMTobias Haynes
It's always interesting people who work at the other ones at least.
25 Feb 18, 09:16 PMSaeta (Kada)
Well, good luck to you in that endeavor.
25 Feb 18, 09:16 PMSaeta (Kada)
Ah, I see.
25 Feb 18, 09:16 PMTobias Haynes
My mo - -stops self, mentally readjusts- I'm in the business. I've got a stake in another Brothel, and Eden's the biggest right now.
25 Feb 18, 09:15 PMSaeta (Kada)
-nods- it's fine. So why are you so interested in Eden?
25 Feb 18, 09:14 PMTobias Haynes
Oh! Tobias Haynes. Sorry, forgot I hadn't introduced myself.
25 Feb 18, 09:14 PMSaeta (Kada)
Mmm. Alright then. And you are?
25 Feb 18, 09:13 PMTobias Haynes
Yes. It's always interesting meeting people from Tem- Eden.
25 Feb 18, 09:13 PMSaeta (Kada)
Is it?
25 Feb 18, 09:13 PMSaeta (Kada)
-ducks an eyebrow-
25 Feb 18, 09:12 PMTobias Haynes
Nice to meet you then! -gives his very best trying-to-impress-you-smile-
25 Feb 18, 09:11 PMSaeta (Kada)
Head of security.
25 Feb 18, 09:11 PMSaeta (Kada)
I do.
25 Feb 18, 09:11 PMTobias Haynes
You work at Eden? @Saeta
25 Feb 18, 09:10 PMSaeta (Kada)
Tch. Children.
25 Feb 18, 09:10 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Blegh... -Slides alll the way down his chair, then falls onto the floor. Gets up, then leaves-
25 Feb 18, 09:08 PMSaeta (Kada)
Right.
25 Feb 18, 09:08 PMTobias Haynes
Oh I know! I was just making a joke. 8')
25 Feb 18, 09:08 PMSaeta (Kada)
I don't mean monetarily
25 Feb 18, 09:08 PMTobias Haynes
Oh, it'd be anything but cheap :laffinneko:
25 Feb 18, 09:07 PMSaeta (Kada)
I could probably have my wings restored with magic, but that would cheapen the experience.
25 Feb 18, 09:07 PMTobias Haynes
Magic for every problem.
25 Feb 18, 09:07 PMTobias Haynes
For people new to the island, it probably does seem like that though.
25 Feb 18, 09:06 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
-Rolls his eyes-
25 Feb 18, 09:06 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
-Slides down his chair- But okaay.
25 Feb 18, 09:06 PMSaeta (Kada)
But your sentiment reeks of "oh you have a problem, just magic it away."
25 Feb 18, 09:06 PMFerra(Max)
Ferra, I'm a guidance counselor and self defense teacher
25 Feb 18, 09:06 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
It's just one thing.
25 Feb 18, 09:06 PMSaeta (Kada)
If you use it for everything, yes. If you treat problems like they can be waves away with magic, you lose your ability to actually persevere.
25 Feb 18, 09:05 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Do I have to only use technology then?
25 Feb 18, 09:05 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
I don't think magic makes you weak.
25 Feb 18, 09:05 PMTobias Haynes
(( *weak ))
25 Feb 18, 09:05 PMTobias Haynes
Would that still make you week?
25 Feb 18, 09:05 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
:/
25 Feb 18, 09:05 PMSaeta (Kada)
-bows curtly- Saeta. I head security at Eden.
25 Feb 18, 09:05 PMTobias Haynes
:pondersneko: What if you're a mage though?
25 Feb 18, 09:05 PMFerra(Max)
Yes her
25 Feb 18, 09:04 PMSaeta (Kada)
Most likely me.
25 Feb 18, 09:04 PMSaeta (Kada)
=|
25 Feb 18, 09:04 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Which one?
25 Feb 18, 09:03 PMFerra(Max)
This one understands *grins*
25 Feb 18, 09:03 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
But if that's what they want. :/
25 Feb 18, 09:03 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
I'm not weak. It won't be weird for me. >:(
25 Feb 18, 09:03 PMTobias Haynes
And because sometimes it feels weird, constantly wearing a charm.
25 Feb 18, 09:02 PMSaeta (Kada)
Because that would be a lie. And relying on magic for everything makes you weak.
25 Feb 18, 09:02 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
I bet if I looked hard enough, I'd find someone who could make me look older.
25 Feb 18, 09:02 PMSaeta (Kada)
But she is right -nods at Ferra-
25 Feb 18, 09:02 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
I don't know why people do that when they can get a charm or have someone make them older or something.
25 Feb 18, 09:02 PMSaeta (Kada)
It is.
25 Feb 18, 09:02 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Looking young forever sounds annoying.
25 Feb 18, 09:01 PMTobias Haynes
Yeah, that makes sense... -waves at Saeta-
25 Feb 18, 09:01 PMFerra(Max)
You walk a certain way and people tend to realize you're an adult quick enough
25 Feb 18, 09:01 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
:|c
25 Feb 18, 09:01 PMSaeta (Kada)
-steps in, putting out her cigarette-
25 Feb 18, 09:00 PMTobias Haynes
My fourth grade teacher looked the same age as us... you could only pick him out because he didn't have a uniform.
25 Feb 18, 09:00 PMTobias Haynes
Mostly new people I guess. once you've been on the island long enough you barely bat an eye. :laffinneko:
25 Feb 18, 08:59 PMFerra(Max)
Sometimes people think they're getting pranked when they come into my office
25 Feb 18, 08:57 PMTobias Haynes
Probably that much harder to avoid when you're in the school. I guess not having a uniform helps?
25 Feb 18, 08:57 PMFerra(Max)
I get that a lot
25 Feb 18, 08:57 PMTobias Haynes
-excuse u i am barely an adult-
25 Feb 18, 08:57 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
-Turns towards the adults, frowns, then sits on a chair-
25 Feb 18, 08:56 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Bye. Good luck. -Waves-
25 Feb 18, 08:56 PMTheodora Katsoufis (null)
"At least I know it works. Bye Rei" *exits*
25 Feb 18, 08:54 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Oh. Okay then.
25 Feb 18, 08:54 PMTobias Haynes
-nods- I think I saw you around the guidance office. I... kind of thought you were a student at first though.
25 Feb 18, 08:54 PMTheodora Katsoufis (null)
"I don't think I'm sick "
25 Feb 18, 08:54 PMTheodora Katsoufis (null)
"I just want to take my bracelet off and see."
25 Feb 18, 08:53 PMFerra(Max)
After school....
25 Feb 18, 08:53 PMFerra(Max)
Self defense teacher
25 Feb 18, 08:52 PMFerra(Max)
Guidance counselor
25 Feb 18, 08:52 PMTobias Haynes
You're one of the staff, yeah?
25 Feb 18, 08:52 PMFerra(Max)
Seems that way
25 Feb 18, 08:52 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
>:( Everyone's sick.
25 Feb 18, 08:52 PMFerra(Max)
*munches on the rock*
25 Feb 18, 08:51 PMTheodora Katsoufis (null)
"Yeah. Maybe. I think I will go too."
25 Feb 18, 08:50 PMTobias Haynes
-watches Dalia go... and Ferra return-
25 Feb 18, 08:50 PMFerra(Max)
Good luck kid.....
25 Feb 18, 08:50 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
-skitters out-
25 Feb 18, 08:50 PMFerra(Max)
*returns with....a rock*
25 Feb 18, 08:50 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
I will. I'm unstoppable.
25 Feb 18, 08:50 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Get better...
25 Feb 18, 08:50 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Bye Dalia...
25 Feb 18, 08:50 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
See ya, Rei. Dora
25 Feb 18, 08:49 PMFerra(Max)
*wanders out*
25 Feb 18, 08:49 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
I'll talk to mom
25 Feb 18, 08:49 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
maybe
25 Feb 18, 08:49 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
-thinks. grimaces-
25 Feb 18, 08:49 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
I...
25 Feb 18, 08:49 PMTobias Haynes
Maybe it's not communicable? Or whatever the word is.
25 Feb 18, 08:48 PMFerra(Max)
I'd recommend seeing a doctor
25 Feb 18, 08:48 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
And we sleep in the same hammock a lot
25 Feb 18, 08:48 PMFerra(Max)
Or.....something else is happening
25 Feb 18, 08:48 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Ooh, like that virus last year.
25 Feb 18, 08:48 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
My sister isn't sick.
25 Feb 18, 08:48 PMTobias Haynes
Even if you're a species that can't get naturally sick, there's all kinds of things on the island that can still effect you.
25 Feb 18, 08:48 PMFerra(Max)
Magical sicknesses are a thing
25 Feb 18, 08:48 PMTobias Haynes
... I mean, call it what you want, but... you seem sick.
25 Feb 18, 08:47 PMFerra(Max)
You should find someplace to take it off where it won't effect other people =| @Dora
25 Feb 18, 08:47 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
I can't get sick. I burn off sicknesses.
25 Feb 18, 08:47 PMTobias Haynes
... You are sick is what you are.
25 Feb 18, 08:47 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
You're sick. :|
25 Feb 18, 08:47 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
d-death...
25 Feb 18, 08:47 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
@Dora Maybe. Maybe it's... like... food. You don't like the taste first, and then you get used to it. I know some people say that.
25 Feb 18, 08:47 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
My teeth are knives. My claws are spears. I am fire. I am -coughing fit-
25 Feb 18, 08:46 PMTheodora Katsoufis (null)
"
25 Feb 18, 08:46 PMTheodora Katsoufis (null)
"I don't think I feel well either. Maybe I just need to get used to it?
25 Feb 18, 08:46 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
I'm always upset
25 Feb 18, 08:46 PMTobias Haynes
I mean, wasn't sure if you were doing alright, and you seemed upset.
25 Feb 18, 08:45 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
What's it to you?
25 Feb 18, 08:45 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
-squints-
25 Feb 18, 08:44 PMTobias Haynes
You doing alright? @Dalia
25 Feb 18, 08:44 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
I... guess that makes sense. I just stay in my room and play games.
25 Feb 18, 08:44 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
just cocoon myself up and light it on fire so nobody bothers me.
25 Feb 18, 08:44 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
only when I feel like garbage
25 Feb 18, 08:43 PMTobias Haynes
Lots of new faces... -glances at Ferra, considers, and ends up saying nothing-
25 Feb 18, 08:43 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Do you do that a lot?
25 Feb 18, 08:43 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Cocoon yourself?
25 Feb 18, 08:42 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
I think I'm going to head home... and cocoon myself for the next week.
25 Feb 18, 08:42 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
I just feel gross
25 Feb 18, 08:42 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Ugh?
25 Feb 18, 08:41 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
ugh...
25 Feb 18, 08:40 PMFerra(Max)
*nods to Tobias*
25 Feb 18, 08:40 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
-Waves at Tobias-
25 Feb 18, 08:40 PMFerra(Max)
=|
25 Feb 18, 08:40 PMTobias Haynes

-nods to them, and heads out-
25 Feb 18, 11:30 PMMahiri Balewa
Ah, nice meeting you Tobias.
25 Feb 18, 11:29 PMMahiri Balewa
Oh, yeah. It is late.
25 Feb 18, 11:29 PMTobias Haynes
I think that's fair. It was nice meeting you - But I should probably be heading out.Class in the morning

25 Feb 18, 11:28 PMMahiri Balewa
I'm not super worried. Just all those silly daydreams of being a witch or something
25 Feb 18, 11:26 PMTobias Haynes
I wouldn't really worry about it. See what comes up while you're here, and you'll find something.
25 Feb 18, 11:26 PMMahiri Balewa
Be just my luck
25 Feb 18, 11:26 PMMahiri Balewa
Watch me be a full on muggle though.
25 Feb 18, 11:23 PMTobias Haynes
mmm. Kinda depends on what you want. The school teaches magic classes that a lot of people can pick up, although personal aptitude plays into it.
25 Feb 18, 11:23 PMMahiri Balewa
I feel like no matter what I'd pick, I'd always have a nagging feeling like I chose wrong.
25 Feb 18, 11:22 PMMahiri Balewa
No clue where I'd even begin, to be honest with you.
25 Feb 18, 11:21 PMTobias Haynes
You could always get something.
25 Feb 18, 11:21 PMMahiri Balewa
I guess. Still. I think I'd prefer to have something. I could figure it out.
25 Feb 18, 11:19 PMTobias Haynes
Yeah. They... really bad burns. They just can't ever use their power again. So power bracelet forever.
25 Feb 18, 11:19 PMMahiri Balewa
I'm guessing they weren't immune to the fire?
25 Feb 18, 11:15 PMTobias Haynes
Like the kid who could burst into flames. -shivers-
25 Feb 18, 11:15 PMMahiri Balewa
I'd take just about anything, really.
25 Feb 18, 11:15 PMMahiri Balewa
-shrugs-
25 Feb 18, 11:15 PMTobias Haynes
Like, for the most part powers will seem pretty cool, but thats mostly because people who have powers that are bad don't talk about them... or aren't around to talk about them.
25 Feb 18, 11:13 PMTobias Haynes
There are some that are just really, realy bad.
25 Feb 18, 11:12 PMTobias Haynes
...eh. Not really.
25 Feb 18, 11:11 PMMahiri Balewa
You can make anything useful.
25 Feb 18, 11:11 PMTobias Haynes
I mean, there's lots of people without powers. Or people with powers that aren't particularly useful.
25 Feb 18, 11:10 PMMahiri Balewa
That's cool at least. I don't have any powers. Just handy with a computer and a healthy level of paranoia. -laughs a little-
25 Feb 18, 11:10 PMTobias Haynes
But you're right. It's generally safer not to assume anyone's human unless they say it.
25 Feb 18, 11:09 PMMahiri Balewa
Oh
25 Feb 18, 11:09 PMTobias Haynes
Human-with-powers.
25 Feb 18, 11:09 PMTobias Haynes
I'm a human, actually. :")
25 Feb 18, 11:09 PMMahiri Balewa
I don't assume anyone is human at this point. So some kind of progress.
25 Feb 18, 11:08 PMMahiri Balewa
So are you... like
25 Feb 18, 11:07 PMMahiri Balewa
I guess so, yeah
25 Feb 18, 11:06 PMTobias Haynes
Yeah, but internal smugness is the best part.
25 Feb 18, 11:06 PMMahiri Balewa
I feel pretty smug, yeah. Only I can't even run it in anyone's face.
25 Feb 18, 11:05 PMTobias Haynes
-glances backa nd watches Tam go-
25 Feb 18, 11:05 PMTam Te'oma (demon)
*suddenly gets up and stalks away*
25 Feb 18, 11:04 PMTobias Haynes
Well, now you're right! So you can feel smug.
25 Feb 18, 11:03 PMMahiri Balewa
Nobody really likes the weird kid who believes in cryptids.
25 Feb 18, 11:02 PMMahiri Balewa
Mostly I'm still getting used not being the butt of jokes.
25 Feb 18, 11:02 PMTobias Haynes
You'll get used to a lot of things in time..
25 Feb 18, 11:02 PMMahiri Balewa
I'm trying.
25 Feb 18, 11:02 PMTobias Haynes
You'll get used to it in time.
25 Feb 18, 11:00 PMTobias Haynes
-doooooesnt' even flinch-
25 Feb 18, 11:00 PMMahiri Balewa
Oh geez... I still need to get used to that.
25 Feb 18, 11:00 PMMahiri Balewa
-jumps a little at the transformation-
25 Feb 18, 10:59 PMTam Te'oma (demon)
*shifts back and curls gingerly on a beanbag. Tail lashing*
25 Feb 18, 10:59 PMTobias Haynes
Oh. :") I'm sorry to hear that.
25 Feb 18, 10:58 PMMahiri Balewa
And it's not like I really have anything going for me back home :")
25 Feb 18, 10:58 PMTobias Haynes
Oh, probably, yeah. We're pretty relaxed.
25 Feb 18, 10:57 PMMahiri Balewa
It's nicer here for me though. The political climate and all that.
25 Feb 18, 10:57 PMMahiri Balewa
I guess.
25 Feb 18, 10:57 PMTobias Haynes
It's interesting if you've only ever known the island. Sometimes the rest of the world seems so... weird.
25 Feb 18, 10:56 PMMahiri Balewa
Not as interesting as here, by far.
25 Feb 18, 10:55 PMMahiri Balewa
It's a good place. Mostly.
25 Feb 18, 10:55 PMTam Te'oma
*mutters. It's just another drug then. Not even a good one*
25 Feb 18, 10:55 PMTobias Haynes
Oh! New York City... I kinda wanna go some day.
25 Feb 18, 10:55 PMMahiri Balewa
Yeah, I'm from NYC.
25 Feb 18, 10:54 PMMahiri Balewa
Of course I do @Tam
25 Feb 18, 10:54 PMTobias Haynes
... -not entirely getting it- Oh, are you from, uh, the outside world?
25 Feb 18, 10:54 PMMahiri Balewa
I mean I can't take all the credit. Thursday and Saturday helped with a lot of stuff.
25 Feb 18, 10:54 PMTam Te'oma
Knowledge... you still want more? Don't you? :/
25 Feb 18, 10:53 PMMahiri Balewa
The supernatural stuff
25 Feb 18, 10:52 PMTobias Haynes
That all this... exists?
25 Feb 18, 10:52 PMMahiri Balewa
Oh no. I figured out that all this exists.
25 Feb 18, 10:51 PMTobias Haynes
Why you're here- oh, you just mean to go to school?
25 Feb 18, 10:51 PMTam Te'oma
*eyes narrow slightly in thought*
25 Feb 18, 10:50 PMMahiri Balewa
It's why I'm here.
25 Feb 18, 10:50 PMMahiri Balewa
I like knowledge, yeah.
25 Feb 18, 10:50 PMTobias Haynes
Nice to meet you. I'm Tobias.
25 Feb 18, 10:49 PMTam Te'oma
*eyes mahiri* another one who wants knowledge?
25 Feb 18, 10:49 PMMahiri Balewa
Oh sorry. I'm M- my name is Wednesday.
25 Feb 18, 10:48 PMTobias Haynes
Oh. Can't say I know much about it, honestly. :")
25 Feb 18, 10:47 PMMahiri Balewa
Y-yeah... it's one of my hobbies.
25 Feb 18, 10:46 PMTobias Haynes
Oh. Crypto... codes and stuff?
25 Feb 18, 10:46 PMMahiri Balewa
-looks at the floor, kind of embarrassed-
25 Feb 18, 10:46 PMMahiri Balewa
O-oh... just some stuff on cryptography.
25 Feb 18, 10:45 PMTam Te'oma
*shrugs and winces* it might be nice...
25 Feb 18, 10:44 PMTobias Haynes
-o-oops- What are you reading? :')
25 Feb 18, 10:42 PMMahiri Balewa
-bumps into a chair- ouch...
25 Feb 18, 10:42 PMTobias Haynes
-starts to wave at Mahiri, but then... she totally isn't even looking-
25 Feb 18, 10:41 PMTam Te'oma
Maybe when I get a job. *remembers something and smiles*
25 Feb 18, 10:41 PMMahiri Balewa
-walks in, head stuck in a hook-
25 Feb 18, 10:39 PMTobias Haynes
You could give it a try. Affection is a... pretty common request, I think.
25 Feb 18, 10:38 PMTam Te'oma
*subdued* I like the idea.
25 Feb 18, 10:36 PMTobias Haynes
With them, I mean. With... you get it. -rubs at forehead a bit-
25 Feb 18, 10:35 PMTobias Haynes
Most people enjoy other people being affectionate with it, yeah.
25 Feb 18, 10:35 PMTam Te'oma
People enjoy it?
25 Feb 18, 10:35 PMTam Te'oma
Affection is... not something I get a lot of. :|c
25 Feb 18, 10:34 PMFerra(Max)
But conversation is nice
25 Feb 18, 10:34 PMFerra(Max)
I don't actually need a shrink and I have work friends don't get me wrong......
25 Feb 18, 10:34 PMTobias Haynes
Always seemed silly that you could pay for sex, but couldn't really pay someone to cuddle with, without everyone giving you weird looks and saying you're wasting your money.
25 Feb 18, 10:33 PMTobias Haynes
Affection is a big part of it, yeah.
25 Feb 18, 10:33 PMTam Te'oma
:/
25 Feb 18, 10:33 PMTam Te'oma
People give you affection without?... That seems... novel.
25 Feb 18, 10:32 PMTobias Haynes
:') -this has gone so well, feels... happy. definitely happy that is the emotion he is feeling-
25 Feb 18, 10:31 PMFerra(Max)
I might....
25 Feb 18, 10:31 PMFerra(Max)
Hm......
25 Feb 18, 10:31 PMTam Te'oma
*considers this*
25 Feb 18, 10:29 PMTobias Haynes
We actually have some people do that. Not quite therapy, but like... someone to listen to your problems. Lots do that as part of their visit at least.
25 Feb 18, 10:29 PMFerra(Max)
Honestly if I were ever in one I'd just be paying for conversation
25 Feb 18, 10:29 PMTobias Haynes
You go there if you want affection and an experience, rather than just a physical thing.
25 Feb 18, 10:28 PMTobias Haynes
Yeah. That's the idea - it's uh, a bit more... modest then most brothels?
25 Feb 18, 10:28 PMFerra(Max)
WellI think he mentioned they offer the "girlfriend experience" yeah?
25 Feb 18, 10:26 PMTam Te'oma
*looks at the card again and tucks it away somewhere* that seems to be an... odd name for a brothel?
25 Feb 18, 10:25 PMFerra(Max)
*looks at her tail*
25 Feb 18, 10:25 PMFerra(Max)
=|c
25 Feb 18, 10:23 PMTam Te'oma
Mmhm
25 Feb 18, 10:21 PMTobias Haynes
Lots of crossover.
25 Feb 18, 10:21 PMTobias Haynes
Sometimes they look a bit draconic...
25 Feb 18, 10:21 PMTobias Haynes
Well, you'd be the one to know. ...Demon, maybe?
25 Feb 18, 10:20 PMTam Te'oma
Not that I know of
25 Feb 18, 10:20 PMTobias Haynes
So you're not a dragon?
25 Feb 18, 10:19 PMTam Te'oma
But I think a dragon might not want to be compared to me. *examines the card*
25 Feb 18, 10:18 PMTobias Haynes
Oh! Yeah. I mean... ...Well, they check ID there.. -pauses, mumbles to self, fishes out a business card to hand over-
25 Feb 18, 10:18 PMTam Te'oma
*shifts* oh I assure you I'm an adult.
25 Feb 18, 10:15 PMTobias Haynes
.... Uh, I mean, your age shouldn't depend. -tucks business cards away-
25 Feb 18, 10:15 PMTam Te'oma (demon)
That depends.
25 Feb 18, 10:14 PMTam Te'oma (demon)
*rears up on two feet and tilts head* mm dragon... *clearly amused*
25 Feb 18, 10:13 PMFerra(Max)
*squints*
25 Feb 18, 10:12 PMTobias Haynes
How... uh, old are you? ...Sorry, dragons are impossible to gauge :")
25 Feb 18, 10:11 PMTam Te'oma (demon)
It might. I have heard them mentioned.
25 Feb 18, 10:10 PMTobias Haynes
Oh, uh- not me. The business. -shows card- It's a brothel, not sure if that interests you at all.
25 Feb 18, 10:09 PMTam Te'oma (demon)
What is it you do?
25 Feb 18, 10:09 PMTam Te'oma (demon)
*lazy wave at Tobias. Moves closer.* business cards?
25 Feb 18, 10:08 PMSaeta (Kada)
-leaves quietly-
25 Feb 18, 10:08 PMTobias Haynes
Hopefully your night, uh, goes well. -definitely gets the vibe he's thrown something off, but... not entirely sure what-
25 Feb 18, 10:07 PMSaeta (Kada)
Thank you very much. I... I should go.
25 Feb 18, 10:07 PMSaeta (Kada)
-takes the business card. bows-
25 Feb 18, 10:06 PMTobias Haynes
Hey there. -waves to... the dragon??? Sure thinks it's a dragon anyway-
25 Feb 18, 10:05 PMTam Te'oma (demon)
*enters on all fours eyeing everyone curiously*
25 Feb 18, 10:04 PMFerra(Max)
*stretches*
25 Feb 18, 10:02 PMTobias Haynes
-presents nice little business card after a moment-
25 Feb 18, 10:00 PMTobias Haynes
-DIGS FURIOUSLY IN POCKET FOR BUSINESS CARD-
25 Feb 18, 10:00 PMTobias Haynes
You're welcome to! We're always taking new clients, and we've got men and women of all types.
25 Feb 18, 09:58 PMSaeta (Kada)
I might, ah... visit.
25 Feb 18, 09:57 PMTobias Haynes
It's a pretty friendly atmosphere, so everyone knows everyone else and it helps keep things lowkey. Really just one security person on duty at any given time, but we're a lot smaller.
25 Feb 18, 09:56 PMSaeta (Kada)
It sounds pleasant.
25 Feb 18, 09:56 PMTobias Haynes
It's pretty different, yeah. The idea is to fill that niche for people, give them the option.
25 Feb 18, 09:55 PMSaeta (Kada)
Nothing. I'm just... surprised. That seems very nice.
25 Feb 18, 09:54 PMTobias Haynes
-nervous af-
25 Feb 18, 09:54 PMTobias Haynes
...Er - sorry?
25 Feb 18, 09:54 PMSaeta (Kada)
-looks at the floor for a second-
25 Feb 18, 09:53 PMSaeta (Kada)
O-oh...
25 Feb 18, 09:53 PMTobias Haynes
Uh, basically we're about as close to a 'family friendly' brothel as you can get. Girlfriend experience, cuddling, all the stuff you generally wouldn't get
25 Feb 18, 09:53 PMSaeta (Kada)
So what does your proprietorship cater to?
25 Feb 18, 09:50 PMTobias Haynes
We've certainly got variety.
25 Feb 18, 09:50 PMSaeta (Kada)
The things that happen here are, honestly, generally more entertaining.
25 Feb 18, 09:49 PMSaeta (Kada)
War is nothing special to me anymore.
25 Feb 18, 09:49 PMSaeta (Kada)
Again, I imagine.
25 Feb 18, 09:48 PMTobias Haynes
I mean, I've never really seen, uh, war, but I've seen a lot of stuff on the island at least.
25 Feb 18, 09:46 PMSaeta (Kada)
So I've seen a lot. Not a lot surprises me.
25 Feb 18, 09:46 PMSaeta (Kada)
I was a general before I came here.
25 Feb 18, 09:45 PMSaeta (Kada)
I imagine, yes.
25 Feb 18, 09:45 PMTobias Haynes
The adjustment seems really hard.
25 Feb 18, 09:45 PMTobias Haynes
Honestly, a part of me kind of... feels bad for those who grew up in the narrow reality?
25 Feb 18, 09:44 PMFerra(Max)
Pfft
25 Feb 18, 09:43 PMTobias Haynes
:laffinneko:
25 Feb 18, 09:43 PMSaeta (Kada)
I love her
25 Feb 18, 09:43 PMSaeta (Kada)
She's disgusting
25 Feb 18, 09:43 PMTobias Haynes
I mean, she's a goddess of... lust. Makes sense she'd be fine with it. :')
25 Feb 18, 09:42 PMSaeta (Kada)
Though I was created fully formed by who might be one of the most sexually open people on the island.
25 Feb 18, 09:41 PMTobias Haynes
or even who have been on the island, but whose families have objectiosn to it.
25 Feb 18, 09:41 PMSaeta (Kada)
Q
25 Feb 18, 09:41 PMTobias Haynes
There's still a lot of people on the island who have upbringings from the narrow reality, whree that kind of thing isn't accepted.
25 Feb 18, 09:41 PMFerra(Max)
It surprises me as well
25 Feb 18, 09:41 PMTobias Haynes
People are really effected by what they grow up with, basically.
25 Feb 18, 09:40 PMSaeta (Kada)
It's good. Too many people here are prudish. I don't understand it.
25 Feb 18, 09:40 PMSaeta (Kada)
-nods-
25 Feb 18, 09:40 PMFerra(Max)
*nods*
25 Feb 18, 09:40 PMTobias Haynes
T-thanks. -definitely looks embarrassed- I just kind of grew up around it, so I'm used to dealing with that kinda thing.
25 Feb 18, 09:39 PMSaeta (Kada)
Mature.
25 Feb 18, 09:39 PMSaeta (Kada)
You seem shrewd.
25 Feb 18, 09:39 PMTobias Haynes
But I still try and pay attention to whats going on over there. Good to know the industry. :nodneko:
25 Feb 18, 09:38 PMSaeta (Kada)
Very different, I imagine.
25 Feb 18, 09:37 PMTobias Haynes
We're not really in direct competition with Eden, I don't think. Different clientelle.
25 Feb 18, 09:37 PMTobias Haynes
Not many have, but it's nice knowing people at least have heard of it.
25 Feb 18, 09:37 PMFerra(Max)
But I know it
25 Feb 18, 09:37 PMFerra(Max)
Never been
25 Feb 18, 09:37 PMFerra(Max)
I know it
25 Feb 18, 09:37 PMSaeta (Kada)
I think?
25 Feb 18, 09:37 PMFerra(Max)
=|c
25 Feb 18, 09:37 PMSaeta (Kada)
-thinks-
25 Feb 18, 09:36 PMTobias Haynes
Oh! Uh, my business is 'Home Sweet Home'. If you've heard of it.
25 Feb 18, 09:36 PMSaeta (Kada)
So what is your proprietorship? @Tobias
25 Feb 18, 09:34 PMSaeta (Kada)
-nods-
25 Feb 18, 09:34 PMFerra(Max)
Different job.....
25 Feb 18, 09:34 PMFerra(Max)
Different world
25 Feb 18, 09:34 PMFerra(Max)
It was a different time
25 Feb 18, 09:34 PMTobias Haynes
... I... could definitely not do that.

25 Feb 18, 09:32 PMFerra(Max)
I'd have periods where I'd hibernate for a century or so
25 Feb 18, 09:31 PMSaeta (Kada)
I was told to wait. So I waited.
25 Feb 18, 09:31 PMTobias Haynes
... That sounds like hell.
25 Feb 18, 09:31 PMSaeta (Kada)
-nods- I once sat in place for a thousand years. I lost track of everything after the second century.
25 Feb 18, 09:31 PMFerra(Max)
More like too much eating in my case =|
25 Feb 18, 09:30 PMTobias Haynes
I mean like, you end up with too much time on your hands and then it's really easy to just... get lost in your own thoughts. Too much thinking, not enoug hworking.
25 Feb 18, 09:30 PMSaeta (Kada)
But it doesn't suit me. I prefer working.
25 Feb 18, 09:29 PMSaeta (Kada)
I mean, I have been idle for long periods of time before.
25 Feb 18, 09:29 PMTobias Haynes
Having too much time on your hands can be... bad...

25 Feb 18, 09:28 PMSaeta (Kada)
It is. I also hate being idle
25 Feb 18, 09:28 PMTobias Haynes
That makes sense. Having a job is... pretty important.
25 Feb 18, 09:25 PMSaeta (Kada)
She released me from my service to her, so I went looking for work.
25 Feb 18, 09:23 PMSaeta (Kada)
She owns Theia modeling and Muse fashion.
25 Feb 18, 09:23 PMTobias Haynes
I don't think I've met her though.
25 Feb 18, 09:23 PMTobias Haynes
Oh! I heard of her I think.
25 Feb 18, 09:23 PMSaeta (Kada)
Malara Tor. Goddess of lust and battle.
25 Feb 18, 09:22 PMTobias Haynes
Your lord?
25 Feb 18, 09:22 PMSaeta (Kada)
Somewhat. I came here... last year, I believe? Following my Lord.
25 Feb 18, 09:21 PMTobias Haynes
Are you new to the island?
25 Feb 18, 09:20 PMSaeta (Kada)
Mmm.
25 Feb 18, 09:19 PMTobias Haynes
Not old enough to have started it and have it be half-decent.
25 Feb 18, 09:19 PMTobias Haynes
Uh. Eighteen. I inherited it though.
25 Feb 18, 09:19 PMSaeta (Kada)
How old are you, that you're in this business?
25 Feb 18, 09:17 PMSaeta (Kada)
I don't deal with the workers directly.
25 Feb 18, 09:16 PMTobias Haynes
It's always interesting people who work at the other ones at least.
25 Feb 18, 09:16 PMSaeta (Kada)
Well, good luck to you in that endeavor.
25 Feb 18, 09:16 PMSaeta (Kada)
Ah, I see.
25 Feb 18, 09:16 PMTobias Haynes
My mo - -stops self, mentally readjusts- I'm in the business. I've got a stake in another Brothel, and Eden's the biggest right now.
25 Feb 18, 09:15 PMSaeta (Kada)
-nods- it's fine. So why are you so interested in Eden?
25 Feb 18, 09:14 PMTobias Haynes
Oh! Tobias Haynes. Sorry, forgot I hadn't introduced myself.
25 Feb 18, 09:14 PMSaeta (Kada)
Mmm. Alright then. And you are?
25 Feb 18, 09:13 PMTobias Haynes
Yes. It's always interesting meeting people from Tem- Eden.
25 Feb 18, 09:13 PMSaeta (Kada)
Is it?
25 Feb 18, 09:13 PMSaeta (Kada)
-ducks an eyebrow-
25 Feb 18, 09:12 PMTobias Haynes
Nice to meet you then! -gives his very best trying-to-impress-you-smile-
25 Feb 18, 09:11 PMSaeta (Kada)
Head of security.
25 Feb 18, 09:11 PMSaeta (Kada)
I do.
25 Feb 18, 09:11 PMTobias Haynes
You work at Eden? @Saeta
25 Feb 18, 09:10 PMSaeta (Kada)
Tch. Children.
25 Feb 18, 09:10 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Blegh... -Slides alll the way down his chair, then falls onto the floor. Gets up, then leaves-
25 Feb 18, 09:08 PMSaeta (Kada)
Right.
25 Feb 18, 09:08 PMTobias Haynes
Oh I know! I was just making a joke. 8')
25 Feb 18, 09:08 PMSaeta (Kada)
I don't mean monetarily
25 Feb 18, 09:08 PMTobias Haynes
Oh, it'd be anything but cheap :laffinneko:
25 Feb 18, 09:07 PMSaeta (Kada)
I could probably have my wings restored with magic, but that would cheapen the experience.
25 Feb 18, 09:07 PMTobias Haynes
Magic for every problem.
25 Feb 18, 09:07 PMTobias Haynes
For people new to the island, it probably does seem like that though.
25 Feb 18, 09:06 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
-Rolls his eyes-
25 Feb 18, 09:06 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
-Slides down his chair- But okaay.
25 Feb 18, 09:06 PMSaeta (Kada)
But your sentiment reeks of "oh you have a problem, just magic it away."
25 Feb 18, 09:06 PMFerra(Max)
Ferra, I'm a guidance counselor and self defense teacher
25 Feb 18, 09:06 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
It's just one thing.
25 Feb 18, 09:06 PMSaeta (Kada)
If you use it for everything, yes. If you treat problems like they can be waves away with magic, you lose your ability to actually persevere.
25 Feb 18, 09:05 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Do I have to only use technology then?
25 Feb 18, 09:05 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
I don't think magic makes you weak.
25 Feb 18, 09:05 PMTobias Haynes
(( *weak ))
25 Feb 18, 09:05 PMTobias Haynes
Would that still make you week?
25 Feb 18, 09:05 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
:/
25 Feb 18, 09:05 PMSaeta (Kada)
-bows curtly- Saeta. I head security at Eden.
25 Feb 18, 09:05 PMTobias Haynes
:pondersneko: What if you're a mage though?
25 Feb 18, 09:05 PMFerra(Max)
Yes her
25 Feb 18, 09:04 PMSaeta (Kada)
Most likely me.
25 Feb 18, 09:04 PMSaeta (Kada)
=|
25 Feb 18, 09:04 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Which one?
25 Feb 18, 09:03 PMFerra(Max)
This one understands *grins*
25 Feb 18, 09:03 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
But if that's what they want. :/
25 Feb 18, 09:03 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
I'm not weak. It won't be weird for me. >:(
25 Feb 18, 09:03 PMTobias Haynes
And because sometimes it feels weird, constantly wearing a charm.
25 Feb 18, 09:02 PMSaeta (Kada)
Because that would be a lie. And relying on magic for everything makes you weak.
25 Feb 18, 09:02 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
I bet if I looked hard enough, I'd find someone who could make me look older.
25 Feb 18, 09:02 PMSaeta (Kada)
But she is right -nods at Ferra-
25 Feb 18, 09:02 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
I don't know why people do that when they can get a charm or have someone make them older or something.
25 Feb 18, 09:02 PMSaeta (Kada)
It is.
25 Feb 18, 09:02 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Looking young forever sounds annoying.
25 Feb 18, 09:01 PMTobias Haynes
Yeah, that makes sense... -waves at Saeta-
25 Feb 18, 09:01 PMFerra(Max)
You walk a certain way and people tend to realize you're an adult quick enough
25 Feb 18, 09:01 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
:|c
25 Feb 18, 09:01 PMSaeta (Kada)
-steps in, putting out her cigarette-
25 Feb 18, 09:00 PMTobias Haynes
My fourth grade teacher looked the same age as us... you could only pick him out because he didn't have a uniform.
25 Feb 18, 09:00 PMTobias Haynes
Mostly new people I guess. once you've been on the island long enough you barely bat an eye. :laffinneko:
25 Feb 18, 08:59 PMFerra(Max)
Sometimes people think they're getting pranked when they come into my office
25 Feb 18, 08:57 PMTobias Haynes
Probably that much harder to avoid when you're in the school. I guess not having a uniform helps?
25 Feb 18, 08:57 PMFerra(Max)
I get that a lot
25 Feb 18, 08:57 PMTobias Haynes
-excuse u i am barely an adult-
25 Feb 18, 08:57 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
-Turns towards the adults, frowns, then sits on a chair-
25 Feb 18, 08:56 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Bye. Good luck. -Waves-
25 Feb 18, 08:56 PMTheodora Katsoufis (null)
"At least I know it works. Bye Rei" *exits*
25 Feb 18, 08:54 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Oh. Okay then.
25 Feb 18, 08:54 PMTobias Haynes
-nods- I think I saw you around the guidance office. I... kind of thought you were a student at first though.
25 Feb 18, 08:54 PMTheodora Katsoufis (null)
"I don't think I'm sick "
25 Feb 18, 08:54 PMTheodora Katsoufis (null)
"I just want to take my bracelet off and see."
25 Feb 18, 08:53 PMFerra(Max)
After school....
25 Feb 18, 08:53 PMFerra(Max)
Self defense teacher
25 Feb 18, 08:52 PMFerra(Max)
Guidance counselor
25 Feb 18, 08:52 PMTobias Haynes
You're one of the staff, yeah?
25 Feb 18, 08:52 PMFerra(Max)
Seems that way
25 Feb 18, 08:52 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
>:( Everyone's sick.
25 Feb 18, 08:52 PMFerra(Max)
*munches on the rock*
25 Feb 18, 08:51 PMTheodora Katsoufis (null)
"Yeah. Maybe. I think I will go too."
25 Feb 18, 08:50 PMTobias Haynes
-watches Dalia go... and Ferra return-
25 Feb 18, 08:50 PMFerra(Max)
Good luck kid.....
25 Feb 18, 08:50 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
-skitters out-
25 Feb 18, 08:50 PMFerra(Max)
*returns with....a rock*
25 Feb 18, 08:50 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
I will. I'm unstoppable.
25 Feb 18, 08:50 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Get better...
25 Feb 18, 08:50 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Bye Dalia...
25 Feb 18, 08:50 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
See ya, Rei. Dora
25 Feb 18, 08:49 PMFerra(Max)
*wanders out*
25 Feb 18, 08:49 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
I'll talk to mom
25 Feb 18, 08:49 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
maybe
25 Feb 18, 08:49 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
-thinks. grimaces-
25 Feb 18, 08:49 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
I...
25 Feb 18, 08:49 PMTobias Haynes
Maybe it's not communicable? Or whatever the word is.
25 Feb 18, 08:48 PMFerra(Max)
I'd recommend seeing a doctor
25 Feb 18, 08:48 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
And we sleep in the same hammock a lot
25 Feb 18, 08:48 PMFerra(Max)
Or.....something else is happening
25 Feb 18, 08:48 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Ooh, like that virus last year.
25 Feb 18, 08:48 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
My sister isn't sick.
25 Feb 18, 08:48 PMTobias Haynes
Even if you're a species that can't get naturally sick, there's all kinds of things on the island that can still effect you.
25 Feb 18, 08:48 PMFerra(Max)
Magical sicknesses are a thing
25 Feb 18, 08:48 PMTobias Haynes
... I mean, call it what you want, but... you seem sick.
25 Feb 18, 08:47 PMFerra(Max)
You should find someplace to take it off where it won't effect other people =| @Dora
25 Feb 18, 08:47 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
I can't get sick. I burn off sicknesses.
25 Feb 18, 08:47 PMTobias Haynes
... You are sick is what you are.
25 Feb 18, 08:47 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
You're sick. :|
25 Feb 18, 08:47 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
d-death...
25 Feb 18, 08:47 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
@Dora Maybe. Maybe it's... like... food. You don't like the taste first, and then you get used to it. I know some people say that.
25 Feb 18, 08:47 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
My teeth are knives. My claws are spears. I am fire. I am -coughing fit-
25 Feb 18, 08:46 PMTheodora Katsoufis (null)
"
25 Feb 18, 08:46 PMTheodora Katsoufis (null)
"I don't think I feel well either. Maybe I just need to get used to it?
25 Feb 18, 08:46 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
I'm always upset
25 Feb 18, 08:46 PMTobias Haynes
I mean, wasn't sure if you were doing alright, and you seemed upset.
25 Feb 18, 08:45 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
What's it to you?
25 Feb 18, 08:45 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
-squints-
25 Feb 18, 08:44 PMTobias Haynes

25 Feb 18, 08:44 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
I... guess that makes sense. I just stay in my room and play games.
25 Feb 18, 08:44 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
just cocoon myself up and light it on fire so nobody bothers me.
25 Feb 18, 08:44 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
only when I feel like garbage
25 Feb 18, 08:43 PMTobias Haynes
Lots of new faces... -glances at Ferra, considers, and ends up saying nothing-
25 Feb 18, 08:43 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Do you do that a lot?
25 Feb 18, 08:43 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Cocoon yourself?
25 Feb 18, 08:42 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
I think I'm going to head home... and cocoon myself for the next week.
25 Feb 18, 08:42 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
I just feel gross
25 Feb 18, 08:42 PMRei (Glamour/Keen)
Ugh?
25 Feb 18, 08:41 PMDalia Tor [Spider]
ugh...
25 Feb 18, 08:40 PMFerra(Max)
