A new sun rises over the Adventurers Hall as the group gathers for breakfast.

Honestly I'd eat anything.

It's not like any of it's bad.

So, Rilith, I heard you went to see Araavos train last night.

Wait, he trains?

Apparently so.

Oh he does...(blushes)

(walks downstairs) Good Morning! What's up?

A God trains?

Yep

I could will myself i to whatever form i desire, so i dont need to train, but 1, i prefer to earn it if i can, and 2, it's relaxing, sorta poetic. Anyway, ask Rilith she'll explain it. I on the other hand am more intwrested in some waffles.

Well I'll be damned.

I will not be accepting questions. Sorry!

Not fair!

Yes fair! You wanna go look, go ahead. But I'm not one to spoil a show.

You could at least tell us your opinion on it. Like a review...

Super fucking hot. How's that for a review. (smiles playfully)

Those waffles are gonna go straight to your ass. You should go train after breakfast.... I'll come watch.. you know. Incase you get injured or something. I am a cleric after all..

I'm sure that's the reason.... We'll see.

Did that little nibble help, Shad?

{Cleaning his fangs.} A lot, actually. Thanks.

Don't get too used to that....

Oh, Hey Majin.

{He abruptly rises from the water and dries off using a provided towel.} Don’t worry, man. I just didn’t think the flavour would be that bad.

Hello Vic! How are you? (smiles)

Araavos is fighting Lae'zel

Hello there Karlach. What u doing?

You ready to head out, Eric?

Astarion, I was just helping out a friend...and I asked you first...

Sharpening my blade. What brings you here?

I know, I'm just saying. I don't want them getting used to it, that's all.

{As he dries himself, he checks back into the conversation between Astarion and Fernessa.} Hey I understand. I’ll keep away going forward.

....What do you mean by that?

> Sharpening my blade. What brings you here? @Karlach (@Solidus) - jump Majin shows his badge at Karlach I am officially a knight now. smiles

That is impressive... Congradulations.

Wanna go out for a drink?

Sure, I could use a drink.

Meanwhile in the Lounge

{To Rilith} Girl you were right, worth every minute....

Right? It's worth every second!

> ....What do you mean by that? @Dame Fernessa (@Sierra) - jump You know damned well what I mean. I know you play around with Araavos, But still. Vampires, that's just between us. Alright?

I understand that...I'm sorry...

Majin goes to the bar

That's alright Darling. I forgive you... {winks}

So. A toast to your new noteriety I suppose {As she downs a shot}

(blushes a little) Good...

Speaking of which, I haven't fed this entire time you've been gone.. I'm absolutely famished....

Maybe not in the bathhouse, then? If I pass out, I could drown...

Majin downs a shot

{Vic returns from the restroom. He’s dabbing his wrists with scented oils.} So, wha’ I miss?

I was trying to talk to you. I asked how's it been?

{Adjusting his frilled tie—} Oh? My apologies, love. {He slides onto the barstool next to her.} Do go on.

Well anser the question. How are you?

> Maybe not in the bathhouse, then? If I pass out, I could drown... @Dame Fernessa (@Sierra) - jump Then what are we waiting for? After you.

{Flicks hair elegantly.} Oh, you know— classy. {He crosses his legs.} But how ‘ave you been?

(walks upstairs with Astarion)

> Majin downs a shot @Sir Majin Darkus (@Jeremy) - jump Better slow down there bubbles, don't want you ending up in the sewer again.

I've been okay. Hvae you heard the news?

Mm, I’m afraid I ‘aven’t.

> Better slow down there bubbles, don't want you ending up in the sewer again. @Karlach (@Solidus) - jump smirks Well, I got u to have my back.

I married Araavos! (shows space themed wedding ring)

I know Rilith... Lucky.....

{He takes ahold of her hand to steady it. Now, he peers at it with that glint of larceny.} Oh, ‘tis rather fantastic, innit?

Mhm!

Well then, {he squeezes your shoulder in a comforting manner.} ‘ere’s to your marriage. {He motions for the bartender.}

I already celelebrated...I wish yiou were there....

> You end up falling over and they mop you up I'm going to do the same thing I did last time.... Laugh.. @Karlach (@Solidus) - jump Tbh, I also laughed. giggles a bit

{He pouts, still attempting to get the barkeep’s attention.} Oh, you unfathomably powerful cunt, you can always tell me about it.

{Chelsea approaches the bartop}. Oh, hello again Vic. How have you been?

Why should I?...You weren't there....

‘Ello, love. {He rests his chin on his fist.} I’ve been well. Some Scotch, please.}

"Of course" she replies

{He taps his glass with Rilith’s, the liquid dancing in the vessel.} Cheers~ {Gulps down the beverage with well-exercised smoothness.}

(follows suit)

Mmm, {he licks his lips to taste the remnants of the liquor.} delicious.

I guess so. I more prefer the astral little cocktails they have

Doesn’t Oz make them himself?

No he does not

Huh… {His brows furrow.} Well, I suppose I was incorrect.

Speaking of Oz, where is he? I've been dealing with ,y sister for a long time

{Via the earrings power.} I am in bathhouse, sister.

I'll be there (walks to bathhouse)

{Only his blind eyes and wee ears stick out of the water. Hearing your approach, his ears flick to better drink in any sound you make. And with the earring, his primary form of communication with Rilith—} Hello.

Ozzie!!! (smiles) How are you, brother?

{His head becomes fully visible as he rises a few inches out of the water.} I am well.

(sits on edge of water. legs in the water) I've been okay as well. Keeping yourself busy cooking from what I hear?

Usually. {He submerges himself.} I cannot complain, as I enjoy meal preparation. All the smells are inundating at times. In a pleasant way.

It's been a while since we talked like this. I'm glad I got to see you again...

You know where my kitchen is. Da?

Yes, but I'm not bothering you when you're busy

{He suddenly rises from the water. Not enough to reveal his tender bits, but enough that all four of his arms are visible. He then gestures to himself with all of them.} I can multitask.

Right, Right...Sorry, forgot about the arms...

{He sprays water at her by blowing air from his nose as water dripped from his face.}

I'mma get out. Come find me later to hang out?(stands up and exits the bathhouse)

{He sinks back into the water.} Da, I will see you at breakfast.

{Meanwhile, in the Library, Baracus is perched atop a bookshelf. He’s lost in his notes as usual.}

(walking into the libarary to find a new book to read)...hmm...(looks up and sees Braracus asleep) Hey! Hooty! What are you doing up there????

{His pale blue eyes peel open. He doesn’t immediately recognise you, and this startles him.> Shriek!

GODS, BIRDBRAIN, IT'S ME!!

{He seizes you with telekinesis, preparing to throw you through the wall. He halts at the very last second. He blinks.}… Nazmir’s sister?

(blinks out of retraints) Yeah, no, fuck that.

{Sleepily, he rubs his eyes.} My apologies, I was dreaming.

Hooty, you mean to tell me you tried to kill me because of a nightmare?

…No, I thought you were… a um… {he leans in to whisper.} A… a Mind Flayer.

Seriously? Just because I'm astral and arcane doesn't mean...(sighs and frowns as she crosses her arms) I'm not even evil...

{His feathers bristle.} No, not because you’re form the Astral Plane. I was in that state of being asleep, yet awake. Simultaneously.

Look, I was just looking for a new book to read....But you don't read romance or smut, so you can't help me....

No. But— {He scuttles over to a nearby shelf. He browses for hardly even two minutes, and returns with six books. Four are erotic romance novels. The other two are outright porn.} You are strange in your interests, but I made sure to acquire some for you.

Thank you...You didn't have to do that...

{He waves his hand, dismissively.} It’s a small gesture. Nothing to worry on. {His hands slip into each other’s sleeves; making him look sagely.}

(goes to the lounge to read some)

{Aa you leave, he uses telekinesis to put everything back in place. He then snuffs out the chandelier candles, and others. Once done, he sighs contentedly; teleporting to his room.}

{Oz too hits the hay. He finds his room, then succumbs to sleep.}

{Victus is sitting out in the courtyard; enjoying the crisp night air. He sips at a wine bottle, and hums to himself. He eventually slips into slumber as well.}
