Circe's Manor THE NEXT

[AmbushCat]

*After shutting the door, FL-Kaoru opts not to sleep on the bed. Instead she grabs one of the pillows and sits down against the bed, placing said pillow behind her head. From there she proceeds to set all her systems to stand-by, dropping into a sleep-like state.*

((OOC: And that ends that particular storyline, finally! You'd think I would've learned by now not to let these things drag out...))

[Ookalf]

(Yeah... So, what now?)

[AmbushCat]

((OOC: That's... a very good question. It's been a while since Zapana or Ellen has interacted with any of your characters, so I'd like to work up something involving them at some point, but for the life of me I don't know what.))

[Ookalf]

(Hrm. I'd hate for that to just be the end, but I'm not sure I can think of anything, either...)

[AmbushCat]

((OOC: The tricky part is giving them a good excuse to drop by. Zapana's not the type to go and visit people unless she's really bored, and in-universe Ellen's in middle school by now [which means extra work to handle]. The only idea I have would take at least a week, maybe a week and a half to implement.))

[Ookalf]

(What was your other idea?)

[AmbushCat]

((OOC: Well, I was considering doing some artwork of some sort or another and then having Zapana deliver it to the Manor as an excuse for visiting. ))

[Ookalf]

(Ah, I see. That could work, but I wouldn't wanna force you, or anything...)

[AmbushCat]

((OOC: It's no real problem; there's a very strong chance that I'll have plenty of free time next week to work on it. ^_^

Do you have any requests as to the art, or should I just draw something that would be appropriate for the Manor's decor?))

[Ookalf]

(Eh, I'll let you decide what you wanna do.)

[AmbushCat]

((OOC: Alright, I'll get to brainstorming it this weekend and start on it Monday.))

[Ookalf]

(All righty then.)

[AmbushCat]

*Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' into the future...*

*Where before there had been nothing outside the Manor's front gate, suddenly there was Zapana. Setting something massive down next to her, she hits the nearby buzzer.*

Colorful Cast of Cleaning Ladies for $100, please. No one's in jeopardy.

[Ookalf]

*The door maid opens the gate for her.* Come on in...

[AmbushCat]

*picks up the package* Arigatou. I'm here to deliver some work from an amateur artist. With emphasis on "amateur".

*Whatever the sizable picture is, it's obscured from view and protected by a thick canvas-like wrapping.*
