[ Anyone Looking for Accommodations in the City Royale ]

[There's an address written in.]

Rent's paid through next month. Take it, I don't care. Landlord will be thrilled, I'm sure.

If there's more than one of you, settle it yourselves.

----

Quite the entertainer, our Paradisa. Parties and festivals and carnivals and balls. Don't know how you're not all sick of them, they happen frequently enough.

[He doesn't sound that bothered, though. In fact, there's a distinct upward swing to his tone. Someone's in a good mood for the first time in a long, long while.

There's a pause, and his voice starts to wander like he's splitting his attention.]

Still, can't complain. This one has the potential to be decently interesting. Ah, excellent.

[There's faint hissing in the background, from what sounds to be at least two or three of the fairies.]

Oh, be quiet. That's hardly the worst I could have done.

Comments

[ino]

... [you know, she was going to make a comment about how parties are fun and he obviously wouldn't know because he is LAME!!! but those noises .... suspiciously:] What are you doing?

[hullo_sweetie]

Somehow I sense you're not much of a party person.

[onlyanapple]

...Finally decided to get yourself a pile of cats to add to the crazy image, huh?

[confidente]

Sherlock... [ OH DEAR GOD. ] What did you do?

[cantacquityou]

...I wouldn't call that the most effective way to advertise a place...

[webbing]

You know I have no problem with however many festivals it wants to throw, because these are usually the only events that don't go horribly... horribly wrong some way or another.

And now that I've said that I have to go find some wood to knock on, because I'm sure that just jinxed everything.

[workaphilic]

Experiment.

[workaphilic]

Not so much anymore, no.

[workaphilic]

Cats, what do cats have to do with anything?

[The concept of a "crazy cat lady," something else he deleted, heyo.]

[workaphilic]

I needed a sample.

[ Filter ]

[workaphilic]

That's because it's not an advertisement. Take it or leave it, makes no difference to me what happens to it.

[workaphilic]

[A hum.]

We are a bit overdue, aren't we?

[hullo_sweetie]

Ah, so you partied hard in your youth? Got to be a bit much or did you just get bored?

[confidente]

[ A groan. ] You can't be serious.

[workaphilic]

[WHAT]

It's a valuable opportunity for comparison. It'd be irresponsible not to.

[workaphilic]

Priorities changed.

[It's not an era of his life he likes talking about much.]

[hullo_sweetie]

I see. Well, are you planning on attending the party here?

[workaphilic]

Depends on whether or not I'm given a reason to.

[hullo_sweetie]

I'll be there, if that's even remotely interesting to you.

[workaphilic]

Don't see why it should be. I'm perfectly capable of speaking to whomever I like without having to attend an event.

[commandsthewind]

I'm used to such things every evening. So this is all a little... well, mundane for me.

[onlyanapple]

Because you're...

[Sigh. It's not worth the effort, Crowley] What are you talking to that's hissing?

[hullo_sweetie]

You have a point there, but surely you know by now that the castle's probably going to do something at the party. Probably something interesting.

[workaphilic]

The castle can be known to spice things up, in its way. Occasionally.

Wouldn't get my hopes up, though. Majority of the time they're as mundane as they seem.

[workaphilic]

Fairies. [He draws the word out; he's still caught up on the whole cat thing, kind of miffed that he doesn't understand. After a moment he apparently decides it's not important.] Not nearly as cooperative as the last ones.
