The China Pearl Inn

[cgraven]

There is a pronounced chill in the air as I make my way down from my loft. I rub the sleep from my eyes having gotten late last night after a weekend away I find I had little sleep but the cares and chores of the day make their demands.

In no time at all I have the coffee on and a fire roaring on the hearth.

Morning all.

Yeishia I see you have a new avatar, very nice.

Cait I hope up there in the rafters your bare shapely legs are warm enough given the change in the weather.

.......Cait I hope up there in the rafters your bare shapely legs are warm enough given the change in the weather.

Good Morning, CG!

Quite warm, thank you. I'm wearing leggings today. Our weather just took a dip as well. Feels good. I've got an itch to bake something pumpkin today but first I'm off to get my exercise done.

Stay warm.

*slips down to kiss his cheek before vanishing into the ether*

 

[cgraven]

I can well understand the need on a chilly day to bake something Cait. The other day it was the desire for an apple pie that had me peeling and coring some Cortland apples and rolling out pie dough. Ummm it was quite tasty Miss Caitlin.

as always I savor her sweet chaste kiss on my cheek.

Enjoy your exercise and the day Cait.

*sneaks into the Inn and prepares herself a quick coffee*

 

[cgraven]

Afternoon Mari. Your Lucky it is a fresh pot just brewed.

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

Thanks Cg, but I fixed that coffee some time ago ... think I've had enough caffeine for the day ...

 

[cgraven]

Ah yes must be getting late your side of the pond as I am toying with what to make for supper.

Gone 8 pm, but not been sleeping well of late, so really tired this evening... x

 

[cgraven]

I drape my old army blanket over Mair's shoulders.

Hope this helps snuggling with a blankie should help and if it doesn't perhaps a good shot of something alcoholic.

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

Thanks Cg, but I'm not really in a snuggling mood and best not to hit the alcohol either lol!

*sighs*

[yeishia]

I finally have time to visit the beloved Inn of my heart...

Quickly I tend to the dwindling fire and put the coffee pot on to perk.

Yeishia I see you have a new avatar, very nice.

:

. Thank you Sir I am happy you approve. i fear it is temporary while I resize another which has spoken to me.

*Walks in and places a bug stuffed Panda on the counter with a note with yeishia's name on it, and inside it reads "Miss you!" Looks around sighs and then returns to the real world*

I notice the adorable Panda and a smile lightens my face for the first time in a while.

" thank you Amc you have brightened my day."

Snuggling the panda in one arm I prepare my own mug of coffee and slip back into the shadows..

 

[yeishia]

 

[amchentai]

*Slips in and finds a empty seat by the fire, smiling seeing that the panda is gone and hearing the whispered Echo of how much yeishia liked it. I smile and settle down to rest here to hid for if only a moment from the real world. *

 

[cgraven]

Thank you Sir I am happy you approve. i fear it is temporary while I resize another which has spoken to me.​

​

Umm sounds quite interesting and daring Miss.

Thank you for you All Hollows Eve greetings Yeishia. saw a movie the other day while I was away that gave me an idea for a very dark seasonal story.

Amc good to see you. I see our shy Miss of the shadows has been making you feel welcome.

You are most welcome Sir.

A dark seasonal story? * wonders what the movie you saw was?*

I adore Halloween

*slips behind the bar to set the coffee pot to brew.

" would you like a coffee laced with B&B Sir? Tis cold and rainy day in my part of the globe it begs for such a drink t ward away the chill in the air"

I smile softly at CG wondering where he had been and hoping he is well...

 

[cgraven]

A coffee and B&B would be lovely Yeishia. Seeing the perplexity in her eyes I smile.

"The Cape." was the name of the movie. Not well know but a brooding shifting little production.

 

[yeishia]

I slipped back into the Inn to complete my beloved chores and was soon seated in front of the crackling fire enjoying the fruits of my labour.

Sipping a strong cup of coffee I stared into the fire. I was smiling for the first time in a long while I was all caught up in my current posts.

I finally had achieved a rhythm of sorts. Should I resurrect one of my stories fallen by the way side when I had been ill or begin the new one I had been contemplating of late. It was a dark sadistic tale and would require a different type of cowriter than I was accustomed to...whom to trust?

Taking a sip of my coffee I grinned. I would worry about that another day, perhaps I should do some house cleaning in , Yeishia through the looking glass, my story thread. first.

Tucking my legs up under me I was saddened that i had missed serving CG his coffee yesterday but the real world had claimed me...after halloween clean up on a stormy day..i would rather have stayed in the Inn...

 

[cgraven]

I make my way down from my loft. Jack Frost has painted the Inn's windows with his intricate patterns. Sunlight floods in through the frosted pains but gives no warmth.

I busy myself with coaxing life into the glowing embers on the hearth, shards of kindling, a puff of air and flame greedily lick at the offerings of virgin wood. I shrug into my coat as it is time to replenish the wood box and split a new supply of kindling for the ever ravenous fire.

Morning All.

 

[Dogoda]

Once again the draw of the sea and familiar places find me in a port I am oh so familiar with. The town has changed in size, old friends moved on, and old friends have been drawn back to their old stomping grounds. A monument of Cabrillo still over looks the harbor and a cross sits high above La Jolla guiding people of the sea and giving them hope of a safe return home. It feels of home, yet it feels less comfortable. Strangeness.

 

[cgraven]

Ah the allure of the sea and is siren's call I know it well Dogoda. That an the warm feeling that floods you when you see the headland of a safe harbor.

Coffee or something a might stronger?

 

[Aurantica]

* pops in with a cloud of purple smoke, still in loose sweats and a long sleeved tee shirt*

Morning CG!

* bounces off to the kitchen to make breakfast and muffins for the rest of the residents*

 

[cgraven]

Morning Aura. I see you have some tasty morsels to offer Miss.

 

[Aurantica]

Morning Aura. I see you have some tasty morsels to offer Miss.

Oh shush. They're not even out of the oven yet!

* dusts flour from my shirt and finds an armchair by the fire*

Ahhhh.....

By the by, are you any closer to writing a reply to our SRP?

 

[cgraven]

Need to re-read it Aura so I can get back in character. It has been awhile.

Ummm I do like the dusting of flower and a smooth a stray hair or two back into place.

That slightly sensual look of disarray Miss.
