Circe's Manor: Re-re-redux!

[Circe]

"Lets just say I wished to pay my respects towards the Mistress of the home" says Bones, lighting his pipe. "Of course if she is too busy I suppose I could come back some other time..."

Oh, well, I don't actually know for sure if she's busy... If you'd like, I can try to call her, see if she's available...

[Feng]

"Fair enough" says Bones. "I shall wait for her reply!"

[Circe]

All right, give me just a second... *The maid pulls a phone out of her pocket and dials a number. Soon, someone evidently picks up.* Ah, hello, Miss Circe? This is Flora. I hope I didn't interrupt anything... Well, ah, there's someone here at the front door who wants to talk to you... Um, hang on, I'll ask. *The maid, Flora, turns to Bones.* I'm sorry, can I get your name? Miss Circe wants to know.

[Feng]

"I am Bones," says the criminal mastermind giving a bow. "Lord Bones."

[Circe]

Thank you... *Flora turns her attention back to the phone.* Um, he says his name is Lord Bone... ...Y-yes, of course! We'll be right there. *Flora hangs up and turns back to Bones.* Miss Circe has agreed to see you. If you would please follow me... *Flora bows and heads further inside.*

[Feng]

Bones follows, twirling his mustache as he removes his hat from his head in respect.

[Circe]

*The two walk through the halls for a while, until eventually Flora stops in front of a door with an outline of a sewing machine on it and knocks.* Um, Miss Circe? I've brought Lord Bones to see you.

*Circe's voice answers from beyond the door.* Right, right. Come on in! *Flora bows to Bones and opens the door for him.*

[Feng]

"Thank you Miss Flora" says Bones, smiling as he walks through the door and turning his attention to Circe.

"Evening madame. I do hope I haven't come at an inconvenient time for you"

[Circe]

*The room Bones enters seems to be dedicated to the creation or repair of clothing of various sorts, judging by the assorted fabrics and other sewing materials scattered about. Circe is presently seated at a table at the far end of the room, where it appears she was working on something involving dark blue cloth before Bones came in.* Well, it's not like you're interrupting anything terribly important... I haven't seen you in a while, though, have I?

[Feng]

"Indeed its been a while, my dear" says Bones with a smile. "I trust you are doing well?"

[Circe]

*Circe shrugs.* About as well as I can be... And yourself?

[Feng]

"I cannot complain, honestly. Business is business and such. As a self-styled crime lord I am always scheming" ^Q

[Circe]

Yes, I'm sure you are... Now, did you have some particular reason for coming here, or did you just want to exchange pleasantries?

[Feng]

"Hehehehe fear not, Madame Circe. I have not come to waste your time with small talk. What I am here for is to discuss a business proposition with you. As it is I require someone of your skills for my next little caper...."

[Circe]

Do you? I'm listening...
