Scene #2566:

Owner	Pose
Elphelt Valentine	Today, the Bar and Grill is looking slightly more festive than usual. Roses have been strung up nearly everywhere, with a rather large multiversal variety. Some of them even seem to be sentient, the occasional rose-creature giving happy little noises in Plantese. There's also a bunch of fancy looking tables with frilled table cloths, with streamers also decorating the walls! On the tables are freshly brewed tea, teacups, and an assortment of fillers from honey to creams, sugar and still-hot scones. Amidst it all, Elphelt Valentine in her big pink wedding dress is rushing around, serving one or two early guests said tea! When people start to arrive? "Hello everyone!" She calls out, smiling brightly and waving. "I'm Elphelt Valentine, and welcome to Elphelt's Love and Happiness Tea Party! Get comfortable! If there's anything I can get you, let me know!" A little giggle here. Elphelt certainly seems excited.
Freya	"Come on Fayt it will be fun!", Freya says entering the bar carrying Fayt over her shoulder! "You may have a succeful buiness but you need to get out more.", she take Fayt off her shoulder and puts him down on the ground. "No go and be soical okay?"
Vanessa Selby	Was this a wedding party? Vanessa sees a bride but no groom. Then she notices a woman carrying someone over her shoulder. The other girl must be the bridemaid then. Still, there's free food so she can't complain. "Can I get some iced tea? And what's a love and happiness party? I thought this was a wedding reception or something?"
Fayt Ravus	"H-hey! I can walk on my own! I said I'd go already!" Fayt was more than a bit surprised when Freya invited him out to a tea party. Though he was even more surprised when said invitation was followed up by Freya literally scooping him up and carrying him all the way there. Suifice it to say, he's not been a quiet passenger. "I get the point! Put me down already!" As Freya finally sets him down again, the tiny timid trader simply gives everyone an embaressed look before scurrying off towards a table.
Mamimi Samejima	Hard bread wasn't going to do it today. A 'Multiverse' bar and grill promised other, more enticing old food. With so many going in, Mamimi was tempted to turn away... but her stomach growled. Finding herself inside, Mamimi's head peeks in to take a glance around. Eyes widen as she freezes there for a moment, the Bar and Grill fancy beyond belief, plant(rose?) creatures 'talking' and ... fillers. Scones. Hot bread. Of course, amidst it all, is Elphelt. A giant bridezilla if she had ever seen one. Pink beyond pink and with happiness overflowing, to boot. A camera is produced in but a snap moment, making them truly snap-shots, as Mamimi takes a few sudden pictures, flash and all, of the scenery and Elphelt. She doesn't so much respond after though as she carefully inches towards the honey, cream, sugar and scones. Her bag unzips. A few may begin to disappear.
Elphelt Valentine	The pair of Fayt and Freya entering has Elphelt laughing. Once the poor businessman is set down, the Valentine is over in a flash. She's pulling out chairs like a proper Lady, and gets to pouring tea. "Hi there! Please, sit down! The scones will get cold if you don't. I'm El, who're you two?" She asks of the pair, before Vanessa arrives. Cue a big old wave! "Welcome, welcome! Ooh, man, I wish! No, this is just what I wear every day. Eh...hah hah hah..." Nervous laughter. "Still! Glad you made it! Can I get you anything? There's plenty to order here, and it's all on me!" A thumbs up to Vanessa. But the question lingers, and she addresses the group. "A love and happiness party is where you gather all of your friends...or consenting strangers! And talk about people and things you love! Or share love stories!" She's interrupted by the flash of a camera. Not at all shy, Elphelt starts to turn, twist, and strike various 'heroic' or demure poses for the camera! She soaks in the attention, even going so far as to stretch out her mouth with two fingers in a goofy grin. The missing scones get her chuckling. "No need to be sneaky! If you want something other than scones, I'll order it for you! Tonight is a night of happiness, and if that means filling your belly, I'd be happy to help!" Grin. "Buuuut...that means you first!" Mamimi gets pointed at. "Come on! Tell everyone a love story, or if you have something or someone you're in love with, tell us all about them!" A pause, and she speaks to the group. "Not mandatory! I'll fill in with a love story if you feel uncomfortable, people! I have a whooooole database full of them!" She spins around now, roses and pink magical sparkles forming everywhere. She pauses, dizzy, eyes swirling before she offers a thumbs-up!
Freya	Freya smiles and watches Fayt take a seat. He will be fine. She ahs at Elphelt enthuisam. "I'm Freya..", she points at Fayt. "The shy one is Fayt.", she huhs? "I got to tell a love story??", she blushes just a bit. She scoots over to where Fayt is sitting across from him. She ooh at the setup taking a scone and muching on it.
Vanessa Selby	"How can anyone be so naive?" Vanessa rolls her eyes a bit at that. "My name is Vanessa. I don't have any love stories to tell and I prefer cold food. Database, so you're a robot or something?" Elphelt certainly didn't act like any robot she's ever heard of. She takes a seat making sure her tails have plenty of space. "Freya? Well, that shouldn't be too hard. You're the goddess of love right?"
Fayt Ravus	Fayt appears more than a tad confused as he suddenly finds himself sitting down and having tea. As freya introduces them to Elphelt, he simply gives her a small wave. "Um... Hi." The mention of love stories actually causes him to tense up for a moment, though he immeidatly calms down once he hears it's not manditory. Crisis averted, for now at least. That said, Vanessa gets a worried look for a split second. Yes, he remebers her.
Annie Sandberg	A tea party? Annie is so there. She thought about wearing her Alice in Wonderland costume, but figured that might be a bit too obvious, so is just here as herself. Seeing how polite and gracious Elphelt is being, Annie can't help but curtsy to her before taking her seat and accepting her cup of tea. She looked curiously at Mamimi as Elphelt instructed her to tell a story about love. Would Annie have to tell one too? She was a child android, not really equipped for romantic love, so she didn't have any personal experience with it. There were a lot of stories about love though, so she could pick one of those to tell. While Elphelt soon clarified that it was optional, she thought maybe she might want to tell one anyway.
Freya	Freya almost spits out her tea. "Wait what? Nonononooooo.", Freya hangs her head. She mistaken for a goddess again "..I'm just named after her I'm no goddess.."
Mamimi Samejima	FLASH! She's posing!? SNAP! "Huh?" Mamimi ducks low to get a good shot. CLICK! "Oh!" She leans forwards to take an up close one! The camera, once a handful of pictures of taken both of heroic and silly - and just plain happy - Elphelt, is deposited back into her bag. Slinking over, Mamimi thinks. She wears that every day? How is it kept so pink and clean? She must have a lot of outfits, or a really good washing machine. As Mamimi wonders, a scone finds itself into her mouth, the taste of good food, and not hard, filling her. She could simply melt... except Mamimi is suddenly surprised by Elphelt, caught! "Mppohhmhph!" She remarks, flailing slightly when Elphelt stalks her over to the table. She wasn't stealing scones - so much as the condiments. It's a /tad/ different. Some of the scones were missing though. Swallowing hard, Mamimi's head tilts. "Are... you an angel?" She asks, almost plainly, beofre then she gets pointed at!? Her first!? It's a love story. She has to tell a /love/ story. Mamimi's neutral expression sours slightly as she fumbles in her bag, sitting at the table. Someone they are in love with, a love story. "Ah... there was a princess, locked up in a castle with all the bad people." She starts, hand sliding something infront of her, but just holding it over there. "She didn't like it there." She continues, "She was rescued from a dragon she freed to get rid of the bad people by a knight, and they fell in love." She says this quite plainly, as if she was talking about school work. "His name was Takkun." Her head tilts the other way, glancing at her phone, as if checking for something. "Your turn." How abrupt an ending.
Elphelt Valentine	Freya gets a pair of raised hands. "Like I said, not mandatory! And it could just be on something that you're really passionate about! There are many kinds of love in the world...er, multiverse! Friendship, the love of parent and child, upperclassmen and lowerclassmen, married couples! Even the love for a profession or career! I'm flexible!" She asserts! Arms hits her hips, and she nods emphatically. Then, she turns back to Vanessa. "Kind of! A robot, I mean. Ahh...maybe a better term is 'golem' or 'homunculus'. I am a Valentine, an artificial human created from magic found in the alternate dimension to my, uh...foster world, called the Backyard. A little confusing, but just consider me a very energetic magic construct! That's the easiest way to put it." She beams a smile to Vanessa. Fayt then gets a look from El. She walks over, leans down, and smiles warmly. "No need to be shy! You love your 'business', right? So tell us all about that! LET YOUR LOVE FOR A MERCANTILE EMPIRE SHINE IN THE DEEPEST NIGHT! Commerce and capitalism, the love of free trade and wealth! LET YOUR FEELINGS OVERFLOW!" She offers to Fayt, entirely too enthusiastic. Annie gets a look too! "Hi there! Call me El! Welcome to the party, can I get you some tea?" She's already there, pouring tea! Magical cyborg-robot-girls are quick on their feet. Elphelt, upon being called an angel, pauses. The ball of love and joy is actually surprised, and blushes at Mamimi's words. "N...Nothing like that! Just a person made of magic, really!" She says that like people like her are common. True, in her world, at least. Then she listens to the girl's story. "Ah...BEAUTIFUL!" She calls out. "Grand Sir Takkun, travelling across the land, searching for his-or-her destined love! Fighting against monsters, demons, and a corrupt kingship all in the name of finding those they keep close to their heart! And on the eve of finding them, they come upon the EEEEEVIL monstrous dragon of hate and scorn, finding the Princess and using the POWER OF ETERNAL LOVE to beat back the dragon's breath! And then they returned to their home, and lived happily ever after!" Elphelt spins around, hugging herself, little hearts floating off of the woman. "So perfect! Great job, Miss!" She congratulates, the peers at the crowd. "Who's next!?~"
Freya	Freya claps. It was a good story and El retelling was great too. El is very entusatic. She just sips her tea, hmming trying to think of a love story.. She drawing blanks. She finding this challenging..
Vanessa Selby	"Your parents must have expected a lot from you." Vanessa responds before giving an icy glare to Fayt, "You made me walk through the desert..." She doesn't sound too pleased about that. She's not about to start a fight though, she doesn't want to get kicked out and she's lazy. Plus Freya could likely throw her through a window. "What kind of magic?" Vanessa's ears perk up a bit at that. Maybe the artifical woman could help her. She certainly seemed guillible enough. "And is that how you have so much energy?" She would be exhausted if she did half what half of the girl.
Mamimi Samejima	Elphelt wasn't human? Mamimi's stare at her is well founded. Maybe that's why the clothing didn't need to be changed? She's certainly lively. Mamimi's never met someone as lively as her before! Even her half-assed story, cut down to what Mamimi was willing to share (virtually nothing meaningful), found her with hearts off her eyes. Her explanation though... he did fight, didn't he? He really knew how to swing that bat, and he was a legend. He still is, though... he left. The story El remarks hits a bit too close to home. That was supposed to be how it ended. "Yeah?" She asks, finding the upbeat enthusiasm... well, she doesn't turn away. There's a flick, a spark of light - but it isn't the ignition of love. The high-schooler lights a cigarette, placing it between her lips. Words, Never Knows Best, scrawled on the paper. El, huh? "Isn't that what an angel is, El?" Mamimi asks another innocent question, "You're not a person and you're magical..."
Fayt Ravus	Fayt, in true Fayt fashion, leans away from Elphelt about as far as she leans in towards him. "I um... yes? I do like my job, though a few people seem to think I might be a bit too into it?" He gives Freya a sheepish look as he says that. He then looks to Vanessa. "I said I was sorry! But I'm not allowed to move living cargo." there's also his rule about not working with Feds, but he's not about to bring that up here. once he's sure he's in the clear for the moment, the trader/mage goes back to nibbling on a scone.
Annie Sandberg	"Oh, so... like I'm an artificial person made by technology, Ms. Valentine is one made by magic," Annie says, interested in the idea. She had noticed that, while some types of magic caused problems with her internal systems, magic related to healing, or sustaining life, usually didn't. Maybe that was because she was herself a form of life! "Oh yeah, by the way... I like your outfit, Ms. Valentine. I wish I had a pretty dress like that!"
Elphelt Valentine	Freya may not have a story, but she does get fresh tea in case it's necessary! The initial words from Vanessa have Elphelt pause, face falling for a moment. "Yeah. Yeah, I guess she did." She mutters, even her bunny-eared-wedding-veil drooping for a moment. It lasts for about ten seconds, as she visibly forces herself back to cheer. "A...anyway, well, hard to say. I haven't seen too much magic yet out in the Multiverse, so, hard to compare it with what's in the Backyard. Umm, my programming says the magic there is distilled information so dense that it creates magic! But that's just what Mother programmed me to know, I don't have many memories of being created. Sorry!" She apologizes to Vanessa. Then she's being stared at by Mamimi! She tries to keep that smile, as awkward as it is to be so keenly stared upon! Even for her! But that warmth never quite fades. She rubs her pink hair a bit before responding. "Uhhh...never met an angel either, so I guess I can't say either way! I'm magic, and artificial, but..." She pauses, and Annie speaks. She nods several times. "Just like that! Artificial person made of magic! If you really want to, consider me a guardian angel of love! I'll fight for love wherever I find it!" She hefts her large, 'holstered' bridal bouquet full of flowers! Reaching in, she pulls out a champagne bottle, and pops the cork. The roof suddenly has a cork-sized hole in it from the pure impact. Then she sets it down in Mamimi's general vicinity. Instead of tea, now she's pouring champagne. Annie gets a little twirl at the compliment! "Thanks! Well, I'm sure you could find one! The Union has a wonderful seemstress, from what I recall hearing...Tom...Tomo...Tomoyo Daidouji! I think. She's pretty well regarded I think!" Finally, her gaze lands on Fayt again. "So you love your job! Have you ever saved a couple with your wares, Mister Merchant!? Come on, tell us!" Hands go to her chest, hugging herself! "Amidst the vast, deep Multiversal stars, a lone merchant fights across the galaxy to deliver a humble ring to a remote world! It's the simple wedding band of two peasants, but this intrepid man risked everything for TRUE LOVE AND JOY! And from this union, came the true Queen and Knight who soon united their world in peace and harmony!" Arms open wide, displaying Fayt. "All thanks to this mercantile man's actions! OH IT'S SO ROMANTIC!"
Freya	"tomoyo is very good she made me two outfits that grow with me!", whoops Freya just let something out of the bag.. ..and now El is pouring Champaine? This won't end well. She poke Fayt. "Come one fayt tell usss!", she teases him a bit.
Vanessa Selby	"Do you always follow the law? It's any wonder that you stay in business." Vanessa knows no successful company doesn't at least bend the roles. "And since when are people considered cargo? Unless you're transporting slaves or something." That doesn't make sense to her either. "Creates magic, so it likely can alter it as well?" Maybe she should look more into this Backyard place. "Wait, you're just giving out champagne? You must be rich or something." Maybe she could humor the girl a bit. She takes a glass of champagne, "Though it sounds like it's the delivery boy's turn to tell a story right now."
Mamimi Samejima	A guardian angel? Of Love!? "I could use a Guardian angel. How is it being one?" Mamami shamelessly asks, ignoring that she isn't one. You are now, El. You are now. Taking a deep breath of the cigarette, Mamimi's breathe catches in the air as she SHOOTS A CORK THROUGH THE ROOF. <CLICK> Another picture. There's a bit coughing as the smoke leaks from her mouth, Mamimi staring at the .. champagne. It takes no time for Mamimi to help herself to champagne, the high-schooler enjoying the variety of things she shouldn't do. "I wonder if he has a girlfriend." Mamimi remarks, almost cat-like, before downing the champagne in a very un-ladylike manner, waiting for the response. To Annie, Mamimi blinks. "Artifical... like sweetener?"
Fayt Ravus	Fayt gives Elphelt a deer-in-the headlights look as she tells her story, slowly going red in the face. "i um... I had to enchant a pair of rings once but it wasn't quite that... extreme-GAH!" He actually jumps slightly as Freya pokes him. "ERm... I a..." He's immeidatly distracted as Vanessa speaks up again. "Yes, I run my company above board. We're not equipped to take passengers, and I don't get involved in the slave trade." Finally, Mamimi's comment gets a momentary confused look... before he's very suddenly interested in his scone again. Yes, good scone. The scone isn't being scary at least.
Kotone Yamakawa	Kotone Yamakawa had been a bit late in to arriving at this get togeth, but here she is she's dressed in one of her more normal looking outfit. She seem to be in a good mood as she arrives just intime to hear Elphelt's tale about her self. The Young cyborg laughs a little bit. "Well if it helps I have no real memories till I was a few years old myself."
Mamimi Samejima	Leaning over slightly, Mamimi almost intentionally blows smoke at Fayt's face. She just wanted to talk, for real. "So that's a no, right? Girls feel better than money." She remarks, reaching out to slide a finger against the side of his ear, before taking /another/ glass of champagne, glancing at Kotone as she sits down. ".. It must have been hard not being able to remember anything for the rest of your life." Maybe she doesn't quite get it.
Elphelt Valentine	Elphelt chuckles to Vanessa. "Oh, no, not at all! I mean, I /do/ get a Union paycheck, but I don't need much, so most of that goes to charity funds! Champagne bottles are part of my arsenal, so, I can kind-of summon one whenever I need them. You'd be surprised at the amount of non-lethal offensive capabilities the drink has!" There's an entirely too wide smile here. Her other words have her pausing again. "No! I mean...the Backyard itself isn't sentient, so no!" She shudders, as if Vanessa has treaded on an uncomfortable possibility besides. "Anyway, I suppose you'd need to find my foster world in the first place. I haven't yet...or my Sister. Still! If you happen to find Ky Kiske, let me know, okay?" There's an entirely too bright smile here. It's almost desperate. More pictures! Elphelt holds that bottle high, then puts it down. To be utterly devoured by Mamimi. She looks impressed for a moment. Elphelt pauses, and then walks to Mamimi. "I can't promise full time. I have to help Mister Kiske, and my Sister. But if you need a part-time, or quarter time guardian angel...well I'm your Valentine!" A fist-pump in the air! She zeroes in on Kotone. "...I'm sorry you had to go through that." Offers El to Kotonoe sincerely. She pause, and then brightens. "Anyway! My turn! There was once a King of three! Three Kings to control a nation in fairness and love! They found a lost magic girl who simply wanted to find their sister, and despite what people assumed she'd do, gave her a chance. They locked her up, but with her consent, and yet spoke to her in her willing prison at every opportunity. The best of a terrible situation, for the King, the Girl, and the Country." El offers a warm smile to everyone. "That King's name was Ky Kiske. I owe him a lot. So if any of you meet him, please tell him that Elphelt Valentine owes him a lot, and is a good friend." She pauses. "OF LOVE AND JUSTICE!" She shouts, and looks around. "Uhm, sorry...next round!"
Freya	Freta sips her champane, and looks at El. "I'll try and remember that.."
Vanessa Selby	"I don't think most people remember things from before they're a few years old." Vanessa figures that's normal. "You know a Multiverse transport service could likely make a lot of money. But it sounds like a lot of work, and you would need quite a bit to get it started." She doesn't have the energy or the resources. "Or sell overpriced champagne in your case," Her attention turns towards Elphelt for a moment before looking back at FAyt. "Wait, you enchant things?" She does a bit of a double take at that. Thankfully, she's already swallowed her champagne.
Fayt Ravus	There's a small cough as Fayt gets a facefull of smoke, followed by him leaning away from Mamimi as she tries to brish his ear, going bright red in the face as he does so.. "Um... what are you doing? Can I help you with something?" Today jsut isn't the little trader's day, is it? Given the choice, he actually refuses the Champagne if possible. We're not getting the guy with the power inexplicable drunk if he can help it!
Mamimi Samejima	"I'm trying to show you a woman's touch isn't bad." Mamimi remarks, sitting back into her chair. "You remind me a bit like Takkun." Which is a different Takkun, 12, so Mamimi is indirectly calling Fayt a child. Oh well! To Vanessa, Mamimi thinks - then responds in a logical loop, unintentionally. "I guess I was too young to remember if I could remember..." She holds the cigarette in her hand, drinking a bit more champagne as it is El's turn! A king! A lost magical girl, and they locked her up!? "By why would the lost magical girl up with her consent? Aren't they supposed to fight evil with love at night?" Mamimi asks, generally surprised. Then she speaks more, "...Ooh, you're into being locked up." Mamimi remarks off the cuff, almost like it didn't matter. She does get up though, and drapes a bit against Elphelt, cigarette in one hand, empty glass in the other. "Well, if you're going to be my quarter guardian angel, I'll have to show you where I usually sleep. It's less than a quarter of the time... so that should be a good time for you?" The blessing of a guardian angel of love, a quarter of the time! How lucky she is.
Freya	Freya looks a bit annoyed about Mamimi sliding up so close to Fayt. She doesn't say anything about it thought. She giggles abit thinking of El sitting on her shoulder. A guardain angel on her shoulder.
Annie Sandberg	Annie looks towards Mamimi. "I'm an android," she explains. "A machine that looks like a human. Like, I have a skin on the outside but my inside is all metal parts and motors and circuits and stuff," she says.
Elphelt Valentine	Elphelt turns to Freya, and offers a nod. She walks over, and offers her hands. "Thank you. It's real important." She doesn't elaborate, but is bright all the same. Turning to Vanessa, Elphelt tilts her head. "I cannot enchant anything! Just summon an infinite amount of wedding champagne. For the cork-attacks." Pause. Actually saying it out loud sounds silly even to her. Elphelt droops forward like a wilting rose. "...I didn't make up the rules on that, okay!?" She laments for a moment. Fayt hardly has champagne foisted on him, at least from Elphelt. Instead, he gets warm smiles! "I'm sure you've saved more than one marriage or two!" Delights the artificial girl! Hands go wide at Mamim's words! "Uhhh...well, sometimes, magical girls have to pull overtime to ensure everyone is happy...or at least content." She laughs nervously here. Valentines aren't well liked in her world, after all. Elphelt pauses at Mamimi's final words, and then slumps. "A...actually I prefer freedom if it's all the same!" Cue another nervous laugh. What a curious woman, Mamimi Samejima. Then she thumbs-ups! "Oh, sure! That's the responsibility of a quarter-guardian-angel after all!" Elphelt visibly regrets those words at once, but still looks at Mamimi. A head-tilt, and then a laugh. She ruffles the girls' hair. "What's your name anyway? You're very interesting!" She then runs about, offering tea and scone refills.
Freya	Freya blinks at El. "Your welcome?", she pauses about El summoning ability. "You could also use the bottle to hit people with.. ..I wonder where they come from?"
Kotone Yamakawa	Kotone Yamakawa Says "You miss understand it's normal I started out entirely flesh." She taps the side of her head. "Medical need I'm leanring to get used to it." She doesn't seem to be unthankful for Elphelt's sympathy however. She also gives Mamimi a look as she's pretty curious as she listens to the story that the very spunky host of the party is telling. "My understanding of magic is what I shouldn't touch at this point. She also gives fayt a bit of a look for a moment and she's got one of these amused looks on her face tool.
Fayt Ravus	Fayt blinks at Mamimi "ERM... r-right." He actually scoots his chair a bit away from her, before immeidatly taking an unusual interest in his tea and scone again. Is he actually that badly spooked?
Vanessa Selby	"I meant the delivery boy, but looking into Backyard wouldn't hurt either." Vanessa clarifies that. "You get less than 6 hours of sleep? How can you do anything like that?" She's a bit puzzled at Mamimi. "I don't know why anyone would want to be a magical girl, the hours are terrible and you don 't get paid anything." Of course she's not exactly a hero either. "Of course I don't use magic either, so it's not like I could be one even if I wanted the job."
Annie Sandberg	"I'd like to be a magical girl," Annie commented. "I can only use a little bit of magic though, and a lot of it just hurts me. But if I were a magical girl I wouldn't be the kind that fights monsters and stuff, I'd just be the kind that helps people and has fun. Like in the really old anime shows about them."
Mamimi Samejima	The glass is placed down as Mamimi, under the influence, with a full stomach and a surprising glut of emotions, sort of buries against Elphelt. The dress is so comfy, she thinks, as Mamimi is talked to. A tongue is stuck out towards Freya, but that's his guy, she thinks. Fayt is likely safe because of it in the future. Maybe he already did have a girlfriend - he could just be one of those types of guys that are quiet. Wasn't Tasuku a bit like that? To Annie, Mamimi's head tilts. "It must be kind of cold if your inside is all machines." Is all Mamimi has to say about such understanding - either not fully understanding or simply taking it in a slight bit of disbelief. She has a quarter guardian angel now. A blessing. "Overtime, huh? Guess you had to ditch school alot, too." Maybe Mamimi would make a good magical girl at that rate. Though Mamimi wasn't asking if she liked being locked up but more along the lines of 'tied up'. Then again, Mamimi is a bad influence. Eyes stay closed as she just sort of stands against El, more weight shifting to her as the champagne kicks in, slowly but surely. Looking up at Elphelt, her eyes do open - though there is a few blinks before she responds, face neutral. "It's okay, you don't have to. I just liked the idea of a guardian angel." The girl disengages from El, told she is 'interesting'. "Mamimi." She answers, before tilting forwards and re-engages El, catching herself as the cigarette dashes to the floor. She doesn't /mean/ to hang off El, but things are getting dizzy, and blurry. Something something smoking at drinking on an empty stomach near night. She doesn't even bothered to fix herself up, kind of hald embedded against the dress as she speaks. "I'll be okay tonight... I think i remember the way."
Fayt Ravus	As Vanessa speaks up again, Fayt lifts his head. "Enchanting? Yeah. I can do some of that." There's a small pause, before he frowns a bit as he adds. "Unfortunatly, I'm not allowed to take jobs from the Confederacy, red tape and safety reasons, I'm sure you understand."
Freya	Freya blinks at Mamimi as she stick her tounge out. What was that for? Mabye champane has gone to her head, as she leaning on El she think that's what has happened.
Elphelt Valentine	Freya's thoughts actually have Elphelt pausing, and she leans back. "...You know, I've never considered. I would guess from the Backyard, by default, or maybe Mother just built enough magic in me to summon enough champagne bottles to conceivably last my entire life time!" A shrug. Elphelt then leans back, and smiles. "You're all wonderful people!" She declares emphatically. Naive, foolish perhaps, but she actually seems to believe it. Then she turns to Annie. "That's the best kind of magical girl, I think." A swift pair of nods. "One who helps out friend, foe, family, and the lost alike." Elphelt pauses. "Definitely the best. I really hope you become someone like that." She offers to Annie aloud, her smile wide, but voice a little desperate. Elphelt Valentine, as she's alternately draped upon at an absurd angle, and then the girl is straightened...the artificial human looks at Mamimi with more than a little concern. "Eh...I guess. Yeah. I always ditched 'formal' school, I guess." she offers, chuckling nervously. 'I just liked the idea of a guardian angel'. Those words hit her, and Elphelt stands still. The dizzy, blurry-eyed girl gets arms around her. Elphelt holds her supportively, and smiles. "Just show me where it's safe for you, okay? I'm new at this 'guardian angel' thing, but, if you really need one..." Elphelt pauses. "I'll do my best. Come on. I think you'll have a bit of a headache soon...eh-heh." Then, trying to haul Mamimi in her arms, she turns to the rest. "Continue on, my friends! Thank you for coming! Looks like I need to find our new friend a place to stay..." A big wave, and then she's off through a warpgate, giving Mamimi a multiversal radio number, and finding a warm, safe place for the night. El stays there besides, clearly worried for the odd and interesting girl.
Kotone Yamakawa	Kotone Yamakawa is still giving Fate one of those bemused look to Fayt now and she looks to Annie. "I'm not as hot on the idea of that as I was as a child I admit Annie."
