The Café Chateau

[Caitlynne]

Moira could barely look at Teacher, how could she tell her what had happened. How could she confess such a failing.

Still it was Teacher, how could she not tell her.

Moira finally looked her in the eye, nodded and said, "Syr, Yes Syr, I will come immediatley after work."

 

[da grunt]

"Hmmm . Lets go to a table over here ...

"Certainly," the grunt says and follows his friend, "what's on your mind?" and he relaxed in the padded seat he snaps his fingers for Elena to join him, at his feet.

 

[le_kinklet]

"Hello Pretty - can you bring me a pot of Earl Gray to my table, in oh ... about 10 minutes? Thanks."

Yes Sir says lilth as she hurries to the table with and ashtray and a lit candle ,, placing them on the table, and hurrying off to get tea organised

 

[Netzach]

I want to talk to the chef, but the kitchen hums with a tidal wave of energy, there's a definite delineation between those who belong in it and those who are in the way, and the trainer is definitely in the way, I get and I obey that decided, polite but firm "ok, you need to leave" stare.

The cook was one of the most agile and most alpha of students, the ideal majordomo, no more inclined to being bossed around than I am, but definitely as committed to the ideal of service. Committed to the ideal of service. Listen to me. It all sounds so hollow, sometimes, when the pain is the real deal, when all you are is an academic.

There's a meeting of minds though. Both of us did have a glimmer of intelligible "what the fuck precisely is going on?" exchanged in a brief glance.

What I can't do, though, and what he can't do, and both of us know this, is compete with another order.

 

[JupitersGirl]

As I sink to the floor in my new position at the grunt's feet, I vow to remember to give lilth a huge hug for the candle. Cigar smoke makes me sneeze and I don't wish to draw ANY attention to myself....

"Not too much. thought we might spend a few moments and catch up on the last few days. It has been .......Busy. Hasn't it?"

*With that he toes back a chair and drops into it. Gestures to the chair across.*

"By the way. (he indicates the girl at Grunts feet) You, as always, have excellent taste."

"Hmmm The forrest is well. Nothing there that shouldn't be. Well, unless you count me that is. Here, you might need this if you have need to come down to the dark end."

*He slides a small envelope across the table.*

 

[da grunt]

"... Hmmm The forest is well. Nothing there that shouldn't be. Well, unless you count me that is. Here, you might need this if you have need to come down to the dark end."

*He slides a small envelope across the table.*

Grunt hefts the envelope and guesses the mystic contents. "I'm counting on your friends to protect the forest. Should you need any of the Chateau staff, that's part of our deal. Keira can limit her focus primarily to the Chateau. I'll put this envelope in my private safe, in case I'm needed or invited."

 

[le_kinklet]

hurrying down the the hall to the kitchen she entered the kitchen greeting Cook with a smile and a cheery good morning, a girls ask for a pot of tea for Sir Vitkar,, cook nodded towards Moira. Moira as usual was one step ahead getting a pot of earl grey made.. lilith walks over and waits for Moira, it will be 10 minutes by the time i get back,,, watching her move in quick decisive movements not wasting a single moment. Before lilith could think too long Moira had handed her a tray, with a smile lilith thanked her and hurried back to the bar delivering Sirs tea in precisley 10 minutes.. Your tea Sir, pouring the first cup, quickly turning to tend the bar lilith sneaks E a lil smile and hurrys off to serve....

 

[Cleopatra]

I get to my room, and rest a bit, not even believing such a scene I made - in the hall - for pity's sake. A quick check confirms that yes, there are stitches (sadly not the only ones on my hand) and that no blood started again. Now I want to go check out that letter opener. It's a hazard...

Back in the Library, I'm looking at the opener, and it's dull. Not dull as in not sharp - dull as in I couldn't cut myself on this thing if my life depended on it. As I turn it over in my hand, I catch a glimpse of the stitches. Or where they were. Gone - no sign of them, no scar, no cut - nothing.

Now I'm minorly freaked.

Deep breath, Cleo.

I need to get out of my head for a bit, and I think I know exactly how to do it. I'm hoping against hope there's a pool table in this place.

I step out of the Library, check my finger again, and still no stitches. Whatever...

A little bar room is off to the side, with a couple patrons in it, along with a stunning bartender.

"Excuse me," I said, catching her eye and trying not to interrupt the others drinking and talking, "Do you know if there's a pool table in the Chateau?"

 

[le_kinklet]

"Excuse me," I said, catching her eye and trying not to interrupt the others drinking and talking, "Do you know if there's a pool table in the Chateau?"

Yes dear it is the 4th door on the left down the hall,, towards the coutyard,,like her life depended on it she left the bar and made a beeline for the the pool room..........

 

[JupitersGirl]

My mind wanders as I sit here at the grunt's feet. He has not touched me with hand nor eye since he patted my head when I first came in, but I know he is aware. Lilith serves the tea to her patrons and throws me a quick smile as she turns to leave. I dare not smile openly back, but tilting my head slightly away from the grunt, I chance a quick wink of gratitude in response.

Suddenly, the fine hairs on the back of my neck stand up. My eyes are drawn to the open doorway of the bar where I see a cat, sitting upright in regal pose and mien, staring into the room. Taken aback, I finally realize that she is not looking at me, but at the men.

"Brrrlllleeuuurrrttt"

Then, as quietly as she appeared, she is gone...

"And since the mystic is part of why I am here , I wanted to get your impression on the events at the library.
'I was in there not too long before, and there was no impression of a working. Well other than the normal library protection.
So, we might have a real problem."

*He raises an eyebrow and his glass, sips. Rolls the ash off the tip of his cigar, puffs.*

"I really don't like things like this. It usually means someone is doing some things that they aren't supposed to. That, or someone is out to get you.....Again. Oh well, perhaps they will be stupid enough to try and reach the Chateau through the forrest."

*He Sees the lovely subs glance and looks toward the door.*

"Hmm figures. I hate to drink and run, but it looks like I'm being paged. "
"Sigh"
"No rest for the wicked. Eh?"

*He rises and tosses back the last of his scotch. Tucks the cigar into his teeth. Spares another glance to the girl at Grunts feet .*

"Lovely...Truly Lovely."

*Then he strides out the door.*

 

[SubChristy]

as i wait patiently for someone else to come into my room. i look around.

seeing that it is a beautiful day ...i can see the chateau clearly...and wondering to myself if everyone has forgotten me.

 

[da grunt]

Conversation

"... I wanted to get your impression on the events at the library... "

Grunt answers, "As you're aware, power abounds all around. Cleopatra is a conduit of power. I've seen the video tapes of what occurred. It was no hallucination, no self-inflicted wound. Keira has reported that the letter opener is dull as a letter opener should be. Traces of her blood are on the blade. Whether it is the magic of the library, which Cleo paints, or perhaps some magic contained in the books she peruses. Regardless, I'm delighted that the bleeding stopped. I'm anxious to follow any developments in this case.

I'm really not worried about ..." then, remembering who sits at his feet, "I'm really not worried about anything, especially the woods around the Chateau." He resumes his stroking of Elena's hair, scratching behind her eyes, stroking his thumb. I need not mention anything about the Senator, the new training contract we've acquired will be the icing on the cake. During the conversation the grunt had brought the shot glass to his lips and smelled the aroma, but only took the tiniest of sips at each bend of his elbow. For all intents and purposes, it was full ...

Grunt looked at Elena with comtemplation of her, and he petted her head, as he would his lion's head.

 

[da grunt]

Tinker Belle

...and wondering to myself if everyone has forgotten me.

Grunt cocks his head a listens, a peculiar look on his face, attentive. He looks toward the side that he was listening at, and whispers, as if to someone only he could see, "Go to her room and tell her to report her, now. Untie her at the neck, tell her to run. Now!" Grunt again picks up the shot glass and lifts it to his lips and inhales, only to return the glass.

Tinker Belle, who never was and never will be but always is and always will be, was then at Christy's room.

All Christy heard was a loud announcement, in her room only, but booming. 'Christy, report to the bar, double-time!'

 

[SubChristy]

as i sit there staring out onto the grounds of the chateau...i hear the faint sound of someone telling me to report to the bar.

without hesitation i run into the chateau...not knowing where the bar is at...so i stop and ask...

"Sir, where is the bar at? i am needed there imediately"

he takes me to Grunt whom is standing at the bar taking shots

"Sir" i say quietly "you called for me?"

 

[da grunt]

New Girl

... "Sir" i say quietly "you called for me?"

"Yes. I've been told that you're being neglected. We can't have that, now can we? Now lilith wants a dancer, and I want to see how you dance. Get up on the pole and dance. I want to see you move. Lilith, pick some music."

"Yes. I've been told that you're being neglected. We can't have that, now can we? Now lilith wants a dancer, and I want to see how you dance. Get up on the pole and dance. I want to see you move. Lilith, pick some music."

i look at him astonished...me? dance? i thought rediculous...i cant dance.

Lilith picked some nice up beat music and i forgot myself...i started dancing around the pole for Grunt.

i was suprized at how well i did...

when it was all over...he smiled.

"Very good, C...Lilith i think you have your dancer!"

i smile..."thank you Sir" i softly reply

 

[le_kinklet]

Re: New Girl

"Lilith, pick some music."

Yes Sir,, lilith put som sexy sounding jazz and turns the pole light on,,stands back and watches..

 

[da grunt]

Re: Re: New Girl

... thank you Sir" i softly reply

"You're not done! Keep dancing. Remember, young lady, you're uncollared and you're being considered for training. While we are deciding what to do with you, and you deciding what to do with us, you will dance whenever there is anyone in this room, even lilith. Until we decide your value you will be in lilith's charge."

 

[SubChristy]

"yes, Sir" i reply

i keep dancing...hoping that this pleases all whom watch

 

[le_kinklet]

Re: Re: Re: New Girl

" Until we decide your value you will be in lilith's charge."

Thank you Sir, lilith immediately replied,,, she is very pretty she will do well Sir thank you!

 

[Guest]

Paged

*Ekvitkar walks out of the bar into the hallway. Steps quickly out of the way as he is almost run over by a naked wench.*

"Hmm That was almost fun. LOL"

*He looks down at the kittens that have been waiting for him.*

"Well hello Lace. Finally decided to explore eh?
Hello Bercha. How goes the world of piddydom?"

*This gets him a.......look. And not a flattering one either. (Unlike her sister, Lace is a light orange, with a white blaze on her chest.)*

"Bddrooowww"
"Ok, wait a moment."

*He pulls a small slip of paper from his pocket and writes a quick note. Folds it very small and hands it down to the Kitten.*

"Take this to Niteshade dear. And you, Lace, be a good little girl and go find Pet for me please. Take her to the Rock. "

*If a cat could smile, Lace was doing it. They all adored Pet from the first time they saw her. They felt what was inside her.
And besides, the Chateau was fun for them. Here, they got to be more.
As the kittens trotted off, he turned and made his way toward the library.
Stopping long enough to put his cigar out in a convenient ashtray.*

"And miles to go before I sleep evidently."
