All Four Seasons in one day (ATTN: Vivian Nicoletto)

by jmiland1 Fri Mar 27, 2009 3:02 am

Brandon strolled into the lobby of the Four Seasons, hands stuffed in the pockets of his charcoal suit. Leisurely crossing to the front desk, he puts his sunglasses away and gives a wide smile to the woman at the desk.
"Hello," he says, once he's been acknowledged. "If it's not too much trouble, would you see if Ms. Nicoletto has started her shift yet? My name's Brandon Thomas--she knows me--I'd just like to meet with her for a few minutes, if she has the time. If not," he says, affecting a slight frown and a shrug, then quickly grinning afterward, "I'd be more than happy to leave a message for her."

~Narration~

The desk clerk looks up from his paperwork, and then bows his head, Give me just a moment, please. He picks up the phone and presses a couple numbers. Yes...yes. Could someone tell Miss Nicoletto that she has a visitor? Of course. Thank you. He hangs up the phone and smiles at the man, his hand waving towards the lounge area, She'll be out momentarily, you can wait in our lounge.

by jmiland1 Fri Mar 27, 2009 12:07 pm

"Thank you," Brandon says, heading out to the lounge. He has a seat, going over his options in his head. "So sorry to take up your time, Ashen Sovereign. So sorry to take up your time. Hrm. I apologize for taking you away from your duties... oh yes, that sounds good."
He people-watches, whistling softly to himself.

~Narration~

After waiting about ten minutes, a large woman dressed in a white chef's uniform and a pile of red hair visible under a large chef's hat steps out and heads your way.

Vivian was a little annoyed at getting called away from her work..she adored cooking, that much was certain. But it didn't show as she stood in front of Brandon. "Well hello there! I heard you were looking for me, my darling?"

by jmiland1 Sun Mar 29, 2009 8:21 pm

Brandon rises, hands clasped in front of him, and he gives a little bow, from the waist--nothing that would draw much attention from the mortals. "Yes, my Sovereign," he says, sotto voce. He moves as close as he dares, speaking low so as not to be overheard, and gives a smile. "I apologize for taking you away from your duties, but I just wanted to steal a moment of your time to emphasize that should the Autumn Court--or the Freehold, for that matter--need anything of me, you have but to ask. In but two seasons you will lead the Freehold for the season, and if there is anything that needs doing to ease that transition, please consider me your faithful servant. That is all," he says, with a quick florish of his hands and another short bow from his waist. "Again, I apologize for taking your time."

Pryderi wasn't looking forward to this at all, but knew it was necessary. The mysterious rapping on his wall was a warning for the potential havoc he caused at the Empty Orchestra. He needed to apologise before he made anymore fuck-ups and gave the Others a beacon to find them....well, him.

Walking through the front door, Pryderi hadn't been here since he swore on aoth to the freehold and wasn't quite sure about the correct manner in court and so waited for someone else to take the lead.

by tsameti Mon Mar 30, 2009 6:51 pm

Grobbler pops in the door and after thanking Fionti, they part ways. He stands awkwardly in the hall, a little confused about who he should be talking to. Mr Pretty is here already. He raises up a half wave in casual greeting.

"You still waiting? Who you check in with?"

by Lexi Mon Mar 30, 2009 11:39 pm

~Narration~

The hotel is fairly empty for the day, except a few people over in the lounge.

Vivian smiles her big smile, and just nods her head. "That's good to know. You don't really need to check in for everything though...if we need you, we'll let you know."

by tsameti Tue Mar 31, 2009 1:55 am

Grobbler doesn't wait for Pryderi to respond.

"Fuck it man. C'mon, let's ask these guys."

He turns and heads over to the lounge area, motioning for Pryderi to follow. "Hey, you guys know who's in charge? I - er - I guess We, need to check in with the Freehold."

by Forn Clakes Tue Mar 31, 2009 3:03 am

Pryderi follows behind Grobbler, happy for him to take the lead as he is not entirely sure how welcome he will be after the 'warning'.

"Right behind you, big guy."

by jmiland1 Tue Mar 31, 2009 3:27 am

"Of course, my Queen, I--" Brandon stops, interrupted by the Ogre and Fairest coming up. With a smile that doesn't quite meet his eyes, he steps aside and gestures with one arm to Vivian. "Funny you should ask, gentlemen. This is Vivian Nicoletto, Queen of the Autumn Court." He keeps his voice friendly but low, to prevent eavesdropping.

by Forn Clakes Tue Mar 31, 2009 2:09 pm

Pryderi bows his head, averting his eyes from Vivian Nicoletto. "Your Majesty," he whispers in deferance to her position. "May I have a moment of your valuable time?"

by Lexi Tue Mar 31, 2009 2:35 pm

Vivian shrugs, and waves her hand in the direction of the chairs in the lounge. "I'm nobody's majesty, but we can sit and talk if you really want."

by Forn Clakes Tue Mar 31, 2009 2:40 pm

"Come on, Grob," he says to his fellow changeling, moving over to sit with the Autumn Queen. "I have come to apologise to yourself and the Freehold of Sacramento. I acted in a naive and stupid manner at the Empty Orchestra several days back now, and have come to see the error of my ways."

by tsameti Tue Mar 31, 2009 4:58 pm

ugh, shit. Grobbler's face betrays a pained expression for a moment. Not the best way to meet the god damned Ashen Sovereign.

But then she seems to blow it off like no big deal, so Grobbler decides that no lasting damage has been done.

"Well, good to meet you then," he tries to begin, and then stops when he hears Pryderi's apology. Shit, what the hell did he do? Bad enough to have to apologize to a Queen? Sounds like he got arrested, probably after getting caught using a Contract in public.

Grobbler regrets having walked over with him, but there's nothing to be done about it.

"And I uh, haven't joined the Freehold yet. I probably should have come to find you sooner, but... I need help finding someone. I was hoping the Freehold might be able to help."

by Lexi Tue Mar 31, 2009 6:25 pm

Vivian settles into one of the chairs, her large frame nestling neatly in it as she speaks again, first to the fair man. "I can't say that I have any particular idea as to what you speak of." She then turns her attention to the other, "Who might you be looking for then, dear?"

by Forn Clakes Tue Mar 31, 2009 6:34 pm

Pryderi sits back and looks away from the Autumn Quen, the Ashen Sovereign he corrects himself. Either she really has no idea what I am talking about or she is playing games. Either way, I have apologised and can get on without any doubt in my mind that I done what I thought was best.

"In that case, Ashen Sovereign, I shall waste no more of your precious time." He stands and turns to Grobbler. "If you ever wanna chat or have a drink, here's my card," the Fairest says, handing the Ogre a smal card with Pryderi's contact number and job title of singing and guitar instructor.

Bowing one last time to the Autumn Queen, Pryderi leaves the Four Seasons.

by tsameti Tue Mar 31, 2009 6:37 pm

"Just... a student at University, I haven't got anything but a name. I hope..." he indicates the others with his eyes, "you don't mind if we could talk about that part a little later."

He doesn't mean any offense to the others... but this isn't exactly bare your soul company.

by Lexi Tue Mar 31, 2009 11:08 pm

The large woman settles back in her chair, and stretches out like a laid out lizard on a hot summer day. "I'm afraid I'm no good at finding people, I'm just a chef." She then glances between the two of you, "You did notice that it was Spring, didn't you dearies? I'm really not the one in charge today."

by tsameti Wed Apr 01, 2009 12:20 am

Pryderi leaves, and Grobbler pockets his card. Another number and no phone to call it with. He returns his attention to Vivian.

Arrgh. The hell kind of answer is that? Just a chef? Grobbler's knowledge of the courts wasn't exactly impressive, but he's still pretty damned sure that this woman is supposed to be the embodiment of the court of terror. Sure Grobbler's lost his own way, but Vivian Nicoletto should be the source of strength for the rest of them.

"I'm not looking for those prancing Springers," Grobbler turns for a moment to the athletic Draconic standing with them. "No offense if you're one of them man."

"I'm just looking for someone with a good head on their shoulders... with some practical sense." Ugh, he's not trying to be an ass about it. He tries to calm down. At least she isn't being uptight, could be worse. If he didn't need help so bad, it might even be pretty sweet to have a laid back Autumn Queen.

"OK then. If I need to talk to the Greens, then I got to. Do you mind at least pointing me in the right direction?"

by Lexi Wed Apr 01, 2009 12:23 am

"Well, Rumiko's a bit flighty...if you really want to find someone, go and talk to Marlo. Frosty, but he's damned good at finding people. There's a reason he's head of security here."

by jmiland1 Wed Apr 01, 2009 2:09 am

Brandon smiles at Grobbler, waving a hand at his comment. "No offense taken, sir. I, myself, am in the Autumn Court." Sensing that Grobbler had more he wanted to say, in private, Brandon bows to the Queen. "Again, thank you for your time," he says to Vivian. "I bid you both adieu. I hope you find who you're looking for," he adds in passing to the Bandersnatch, before leaving.

by tsameti Wed Apr 01, 2009 2:48 am

"Oh, shit... yea man I'll see you around."

"Thanks Vivian," Considering her attitude, he figures it's safe to use her first name. "Point me towards Mario?" He asks as he backs up into the lobby, thumbs thrown over his right shoulder.

by Lexi Wed Apr 01, 2009 2:49 am

"His office is on the top floor. Just get off the elevator and turn left." She smiles again, and stands up, looking back to the kitchen. "Now if you'll excuse me..the restaurant is expecting a lunch rush."

by tsameti Wed Apr 01, 2009 2:54 am

"Appreciate it..." Grobbler calls behind him as he moves towards the elevator, relieved that he's making progress and surprised that everyone's been so trusting.

God, how easy would it be for a Privateer or a Loyalist to waltz right in here... The thought sets a chill through Grobbler's body, and leaves a sour taste in his mouth.
