Muffinville Hot Springs Resort

Rei: Got to be careful about that. Might not want to poke around in there too much or you might trip the defenses.

Wasn't trying to. I keep my telepathy passive in case anyone takes an interest in me for the wrong reasons. If the thoughts are strong enough, I can pick them up without putting any effort into it. And let's face it: after how much fun Himitsu had at your expense during his appearances, who wouldn't want to subject him to irony that badly?

I know Kaoru wanted to.

Coronach: Still it seems luck plays a lot more into this than it would a good bit of fighting. Then again, as a succubus and thus a form of emotivore, wouldn't I have an advantage here?

Rei: Hehehe. I'm hoping she'll bring lots of pictures. I'll have one blown up and placed in the city square if she does.

[Abillioncats]

“Perhaps, but advantages don’t guarantee anything.” Truth be told, it didn’t matter to her whether she won or lost. She had simply been tasked with delivering a message, what the succubus ended up doing afterwards wasn’t her problem.

That wasn’t to say she wouldn’t try to win though. She had more experience with the game after all.

Rei: Hehehe. I'm hoping she'll bring lots of pictures. I'll have one blown up and placed in the city square if she does.

Well, her ship does have some pretty powerful cameras, so you might end up getting your wish.

...

And I'm hoping she'll bring one back for me, too.

[Raleigh]

Coronach: Very well. We shall try it your way. *She puts away the staff and stand back.* Do you have the cards this game requires with you?
*******
Rei: With any luck I'm sure she will. I've found me a new plot to try. Beach heading my influence in a world where the local gods don't like me. I hope it works.

[AmbushCat]

That should be good for a laugh.

[Abillioncats]

“Sure do.” She pulled out a deck of cards.

[Raleigh]

Coronach: Then deal me in, I believe the saying is.
*****
Rei: I'm thinking of opening a restaurant but I need to find a cook. Know anyone?

[Abillioncats]

"You got it." She deals out the cards.

[AmbushCat]

I know someone that might be willing to work for a bit, provided I can get her to trade off some of her normal workload with someone else. She's a bit of a workaholic, so she likes keeping busy a little too much.

[Raleigh]

Well set up the contact eh? We'll see what can be arranged.

[AmbushCat]

I can do you one better and let you talk to her straight away, if you like. Cutting out the middleman should save you a bit of time.

[Raleigh]

Works for me. Should be fun to try and run my own restaurant.

[AmbushCat]

*Callista telekinetically opens her purse and removes a communicator in the same general shape of a Nintendo Switch in handheld mode. She fiddles with it for a few moments, then levitates it over to Rei just as someone appears on-screen.*

Aldonza here. I'm kind of in the middle of--- *realizes who she's talking to* ---something, but it's nothing that can't wait. Hiya, Rei! You need something?

[Raleigh]

Hey Aldonza. How would you like to work at a restaurant I'm considering opening? We don't want me cooking for people after all. No need to cause another apocalypse with my spaghetti.
