Ella was currently just getting back to the freehold after a night out having seen first hand what happened in the evening riot. She doesn't look too particularly pleased but not everything can go her way all the time. She moves to start making some tea before sitting down in a chair and stirring it with a spoon (outfit in Picspam)
Spicy - The Ogre wanders into the Freehold Hollow, shrugging off her coat and dropping it onto the ground where it turns immediately into a mixture of a mole and a badger that woke up angry. It seems to keep paces with Spicy as she wanders the place.
black ice vein and eyes, teeth and nail out of ice would maybe suggest a winter courtier, but the energizing breeze that follow her around seem to suggest spring. She also carries her heavy duffel bag. She raise a hand in greeting to Ella. "Yo."
Ella -She lets out a small sigh but smiles at Spicy-
"Good evening Spicy, how've you been? It's been awhile since we've crossed paths."
Spicy - "Evening!" Spicy sits down on the nearest chair and crosses her leg, starting to search the bag she brought it, the beast with her settling down next to it.
"Yeah, I was away for a while and then I had to do some catch up and then there was..." She makes a gesture with her hand as she emphasize on the word. "~work..."
Ella - "Oh I haven't done any job work just yet. But I've done some poking around to see if people would be up for a little party. And by people I mean everyone across all the aisles. I've gotten a lot of interest from people and it seems like many are for it. I will need to figure out the catering and a location, someone has requested paintball now too. I'll look into that but I'm honestly now sure I can grant that request."
Spicy - "That could be done, probably, as for catering, let me know, I'm always up to help setting up the table for people. Also, if you ever need me, I got some shifts at Maddy's from time to time." Spicy says, pulling out a preserve bottle from her bag and setting it in front of the badger mole.
Ella - "I would probably use you for catering and Maddy's if they're up for it too. I've also figured out how to make sure that vampires would be able to join. We give people who are willing to feed some kind of arm band or something that indicates that they're okay and willing. That way they don't have to run around asking people, this way all they have to do is make sure the person isn't already in the middle of a discussion or something."
Spicy - "Oh that could work. As long as its clear that its an open for all kind of party. Some people prefer to steer clear from that in particular." Spicy says with a shrug watching the Hedgebeast devour part of the jar's content.
"I guess that'd be weird to just come in and bite at random, even with an armband too. No super familair with fangy folks culture too much. "
Patchie - The door to one of the cottages pushes open, and a slim, dark-haired femme wearing a cut-up t-shirt with the words FUCK YOUR FASCIST BEAUTY STANDARDS on it, jeans, boots, and a beat-up leather jacket comes storming out. "Goddamn motherfucker getting into bullshit and not calling me!" Patchie scowls, storming their way toward the exit. They toss a wave towards the chatting pair, "hey, bitches," but don't slow down, their Autumn Mantle scattering illusory leaves behind them.
Spicy - "Hey there!" Spicy calls and waves as Patchie moves. "Be safe on your way, rust buckets aplenty out tonight."
Ella - "Well that's why they ASK if they're okay with it when the person isn't otherwise occupied." -She attempts to correct before her attention is shifted towards Patchie and she takes a drink of her tea- "Well I think it's been awhile since I've seen you about. How're tricks?"
Patchie - "Yeah, I fucking know it!" Patchie yells back towards Spicy. "My stupid-ass man was at some fucking riot and I wasn't even invited!"
And with that, the Autumn is gone, off out of the Hedge, presumably in search of their man, whoever that is.
Ella - "That was a thing that happened, yes. Good luck!" -She calls after-
Spicy - "You tell him!" Spicy says, raising a hand in a wave of goodbye. Then turns to Ella with a smile. "If you were there, are you doing okay? "
Spicy quickly gives Ella a once over, as if checking out for wounds or other signs of weariness.
Ella - "I was very unhappy just how bad it got and I couldn't do anything about it because of how everything got started. I wish I had recorded it because the media did a pretty false report. It was bad."
Spicy - "Well yeah, the second those robot thing get involved, it's best to assume they know some magic stuff is up." Spicy nods. "I've only read the public announcement and heard people talk about it, but, basically. The robot maker, the ppd and some really fucking weird wizards are behind it." Spicy stretches a bit. "So the media being influenced in that sense doesn't surprise me."
Ella - "Well I need to figure out if it's a bucket I want to throw my hat into or not. I tend to try and pick my "battles" carefully and leave no trace behind of myself since I'm a public figure. I'm going to see if I can help with medical bills for the people who were injured but I plan on providing cash for it."
Spicy - "That's pretty neat, clearly Patchie over here knows people who could get that cash to them." Spicy says. "But it's also not like these robots aren't specifically looking for us too, like, there's a reason we had to move the entrance to the hollow. so it's not like we can just ignore it."
Ella - "Correct but my place isn't really on the front lines. I can help heal people as I have that kind of magic, you know since you've helped me learn a blessing. My biggest skill set is social, I can carry a lot of influence and push it into the open."
Spicy - Spicy reaches into the duffel bag and pulls out her giant two handed sword made out of ice and shadow. "I got a sturdier place over there than others, I admit." She stands and let the blade rest next to her. "I wonder how tough the fucker are against my kind of swing?" Spicy ponder.
Ella - "That would be something for you to test out if you really want to." -She laughs- "But please don't, the less members of the freehold I have to heal the better I'll feel. Though I do understand why people would want to resort to violence, I still really dislike it."
Spicy - "Yeah, I know." Spicy nods. "I don't personally have that dislike though and I can heal too, so I can cover the battle sometimes, when people let me know they're happening." Spicy chuckles.
Ella - "I know you don't. It's just two different mindsets, I want a peaceful society where we can all get along without violent conflict. Conflict is natural for people to evolve and better themselves."
Spicy - "Yeah, unfortunately lots of that to be had." Spicy stands up and gives her big swords a few practice swing, causing the hedgebeast next to her to try and catch it.
"Hey, question, by the way. Since you were there and, I presume, healed people. Do you need a bit of glamour back? I got some fresh fruits from my garden I can share. They taste like sad though."
Spicy kicks the conserve. "I call this my sadmalade."
Ella - "I only healed one person and used the contract twice, I'm only down a little. If I go sign a single song I can probably get that and the slight tiredness I have back. Thank you for asking though. This wasn't an instance where I could go out into the battlefield and run up to each person, there were normal humans there. It would've raised too many questions."
Spicy - Spicy nods. "I got some oddment and fruit that helps with sleep and dreams a bit too if you ever need something like that too."
The ogre takes a wider swing and the Hedgebeast jumps to try and bite it. Which prompts spicy to grab a stick to "fight" with it instead.
"Don't worry about the little guy, that's just how he plays and I've been dodging the hedge for a bit, he needs to chew on the stick for a bit."
Ella - "It seems like he needs to be out and about a little more often. You letting the little guy get his exercise?"
-A soft chuckle, followed by a drink of her tea, which then became empty-
"I will be sure to inform you if I ever need some additional glamour or some extra mental energy. I know my limits and I'm far from them right now. I will call you right away if I find myself in some kind of fight and dub thee my champion if that is your wish."
Spicy - "Let's not, like, get ahead of ourselves here. Championing people is not something I've done so far. So, you know, need some time to adapt to the thought." Spicy teases.
Ella -She feigns a gasp-
"I can hardly believe you haven't championed at least one lass, lad, or anyone in-between in your time here so far. I guess we'll have to set up some kind of mock championship then, hmm? I mean I planned on doing some kind of exercises for people who favor physical entertainment at the party but perhaps that ought come sooner."
Spicy - "For now, I'll be championing this little guy. Spicy the Badgermole's Champion. Spring Courtier etcetera." Spicy chuckles lightly
