Rp - The Auction

Channel MOTD: A surprisingly comfortable space in the Emperor Family Station in the Amarr system.The walls are paneled with dark wood. Periodically there are cross-hatched sections that serve to store wine bottles horizontally. The temperature is cool. There are multiple tables and booths with sumptious velvet red cushions. Stained glass lanterns and lights providing soft lighting. Each table has a wine & beverage list with a range of wines, ales, liquors and non-alcoholic drinks such as tea. A simple menu is also on each table that indicates that complimentary bread and assorted cheeses and fruits are provided to those who order by the bottle. Along one wall is a suit of golden armor with ceremonial sword and a tabard for the theology counsel that is cut for a femine figure along with a Picture. A square parquet dance floor is in the center of the room. The jolly, bald headed proprietor and attentive wait staff are all baseliners.

[ 2014.06.14 02:31:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters and takes a corner seat.
[ 2014.06.14 02:32:13 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote wonders in not too much later. She has Heilge with her. She's not paying much attention as she takes a seat at a booth
[ 2014.06.14 02:33:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gestures to Heilge with a friendly wave as if to let Erin know she is here.
[ 2014.06.14 02:35:05 ] Erin Savonarola > *Heilge talks to Erin and then goes over to Luna, extending an invitation to join Erin*
[ 2014.06.14 02:35:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles at Heilge murmering "thank you" as she goes over to join Erin.
[ 2014.06.14 02:35:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > How are you Erin? you look... distraced.
[ 2014.06.14 02:37:12 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote smiles "Oh, hello darling. Just worn out. It's been a long day."
[ 2014.06.14 02:37:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "well then we need to have some wine. Would you like to me order some?"
[ 2014.06.14 02:38:22 ] Erin Savonarola > "Sure. Something sweet."
[ 2014.06.14 02:39:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote orders a moscato for each of them.
[ 2014.06.14 02:40:49 ] Erin Savonarola > "So, what have you been up to?"
[ 2014.06.14 02:42:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I have been at the Basilica gardens since the service [[Memorial service for Battle of Mehkios]]
[ 2014.06.14 02:42:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I guess i'll be returning space side again to catch up on business...
[ 2014.06.14 02:42:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says that as if her heart really isn't into it/.
[ 2014.06.14 02:43:16 ] Erin Savonarola > "Something the matter?"
[ 2014.06.14 02:43:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Just a lot of memories.
[ 2014.06.14 02:50:36 ] Erin Savonarola > "You were still a paladin when that happened, weren't you?"
[ 2014.06.14 02:51:02 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote smiles softly and puts a friendly hand on Luna's shoulder
[ 2014.06.14 02:51:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.06.14 02:51:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And it was the world I raised my children on for a time."
[ 2014.06.14 02:52:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks down and sips her wine absentmindedly.
[ 2014.06.14 02:53:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Erin "so what have you been up to since the Service?"
[ 2014.06.14 02:53:31 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote sighs. "I want so much to be nice to the Minmatar, to help them find God and faith and peace. They make it so hard some times."
[ 2014.06.14 02:54:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote mutters "tell me about it. Ms. Siikanen this morning was spoiling for a fight and didn't really care what my answers were, just want she wanted them to be."
[ 2014.06.14 02:54:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Until the war is settled by force of arms, I don't think there ever can be peace and potentially a peaceful reclaiming once the violent ones are... taken care of.
[ 2014.06.14 02:55:34 ] Erin Savonarola > "You might be right."
[ 2014.06.14 02:55:59 ] Erin Savonarola > "We will have to weed out the more . . . rabid ones."
[ 2014.06.14 02:56:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote grumbles "Enough about that. We won't change anything sitting here drinking wine."
[ 2014.06.14 02:57:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Erin a significant glance "I see you are still in Amarr system. What have you been up to?"
[ 2014.06.14 02:57:32 ] Erin Savonarola > "Yes." She grins "Stemwinner's had a shaman in their latest lot. I debated bidding on him and seeing about breaking him."
[ 2014.06.14 02:58:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh? Well...I find them to be the least objectionable in some ways.. at least they recognize a spirituality even if not fully and properly informed.
[ 2014.06.14 03:00:43 ] Erin Savonarola > "I would rather have someone believe in nothing than heathenism."
[ 2014.06.14 03:01:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > There we differ I guess... I find believing in nothing makes them resistant to the Scripture.
[ 2014.06.14 03:01:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > if they believe in something.. the gap isn't as far too bridge.
[ 2014.06.14 03:01:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Stemwinner's? You've been there recently?
[ 2014.06.14 03:02:29 ] Erin Savonarola > "Yes. Looking at their latest lot. A few grabbed my eye."
[ 2014.06.14 03:02:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.06.14 03:03:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her wine.
[ 2014.06.14 03:03:59 ] Erin Savonarola > "I was going to invite you to come to the auction with me, but your daughter said you might not fare well, so, next time perhaps."
[ 2014.06.14 03:04:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh?
[ 2014.06.14 03:04:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well.. i am running into a lot of dead end leads at present.
[ 2014.06.14 03:04:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I need to find a qualified supervisor for a vineyard and I don't care if she is a slave or not.
[ 2014.06.14 03:05:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I hopes for a capsuleer but she is very erratic and vanishes it a lot...
[ 2014.06.14 03:05:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs.
[ 2014.06.14 03:05:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Recall any fitting the bill at the auction?
[ 2014.06.14 03:06:42 ] Erin Savonarola > "A capsuleer?" she's not following.
[ 2014.06.14 03:06:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh..I tried to interview some capsuleers first.
[ 2014.06.14 03:06:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > None of them panned out.
[ 2014.06.14 03:07:24 ] Erin Savonarola > "Vineyard? I didn't know you had one."
[ 2014.06.14 03:07:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I am the overseer of one now. But I am in space all the time so really, I need a sub-overseer.
[ 2014.06.14 03:08:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I can lay out the gardens and the vineyard plans.... and they implement it.
[ 2014.06.14 03:08:30 ] Erin Savonarola > "For whom?"
[ 2014.06.14 03:08:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Lord Raholan.
[ 2014.06.14 03:08:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > But I don't have time for it...
[ 2014.06.14 03:09:03 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote frowns. "Tell him to get his own staff and not poach mine."
[ 2014.06.14 03:09:26 ] Erin Savonarola > "Whatever he is paying for your time, I will beat it by a considerable amount."
[ 2014.06.14 03:10:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > it's more the challenge. I have had some ideas about hybrid varieties I am trying to implement.... regardless, he knows I am an independent business woman so it's more of a sinecure.
[ 2014.06.14 03:10:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I have a great many projects floating around.
[ 2014.06.14 03:10:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles.
[ 2014.06.14 03:11:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > So.. I need to fine someone to do it.
[ 2014.06.14 03:11:25 ] Erin Savonarola > "Independant business woman. You've been talking to to many Caldari."
[ 2014.06.14 03:11:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I was considering going to the slave auction and looking for an Elite Slave to fit the bill.
[ 2014.06.14 03:12:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Would you care to show me the ropes?
[ 2014.06.14 03:12:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I'd be flattered.
[ 2014.06.14 03:12:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles warmly.
[ 2014.06.14 03:12:33 ] Erin Savonarola > "Stemwinner's is not for that. They handle rarities, like Starkmanir, Valkyres, former nobility, stuff like that."
[ 2014.06.14 03:12:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I see.
[ 2014.06.14 03:13:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > You said you had your eye on some.. I thought you already had a Starkmanir woman?
[ 2014.06.14 03:14:25 ] Erin Savonarola > "I do. I need a male that I am not going to pay through the nose for."
[ 2014.06.14 03:14:38 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote grins to Heilge.
[ 2014.06.14 03:15:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles slightly "that would be difficult, Erin... I didn't even realize one existed still, let alone two"
[ 2014.06.14 03:15:46 ] Erin Savonarola > "Oh, there are a fair number of them. Unfortunately, most of them are in the tribal areas. That's what the whole invasion was about."
[ 2014.06.14 03:15:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote grimaces.
[ 2014.06.14 03:17:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well..it doesn't look like the contact I wanted to meet tonight is comng.. although I'll give him another 15 minutes.
[ 2014.06.14 03:17:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I'd be happy to come with you. Why in New Eden did Maria think I couldn't go?
[ 2014.06.14 03:23:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Erin a quizzical look as she refills both wine glasses, waving Heilge away.
[ 2014.06.14 03:29:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her wine and notices Erin seems distracted again.
[ 2014.06.14 03:31:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote whispers something to Heilge who goes to the kitchen.
[ 2014.06.14 03:37:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote thanks Heilge as she returns.
[ 2014.06.14 03:38:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at the waiter who comes from the kitchen with chocolate zabaglione for the table.
[ 2014.06.14 03:39:16 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote steps casually inside on polished leather boots and a high-collared black suit. Pausing by the entrance he slowly slides black gloves from his hands and tucks them into his belt as he takes in the establishment.
[ 2014.06.14 03:40:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote absentmindly nibbles on a spoonfull of her dessert.
[ 2014.06.14 03:42:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles as she notices Hevaima and gives a friendly wave, while remaining seated.
[ 2014.06.14 03:43:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips the champagne that came with the dessert.
[ 2014.06.14 03:45:19 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote walks in a slow cadence to Lunarisse's table and returns her smile with one of his own as he stops a measured distance away, "Lady Aspenstar, as you see I have made good on your invitation."
[ 2014.06.14 03:47:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rises in greeting "Hello... so it seems you have. You can have a seat with us, I think" *glances at Erin to see if she objects, then gestures to an empty seat next to Luna and across the table from Erin*
[ 2014.06.14 03:49:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote as she sits back down she glances at the table with a slight frown "Would you like to have some wine and dessert?"
[ 2014.06.14 03:53:53 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote takes the offered seat with a nod and then smiles as he shakes his head, "Thank you for the offer Lady Aspenstar but I am afraid I must decline." He chuckles and grins, "Must watch the figure after all."
[ 2014.06.14 03:55:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles "True... but after the week I've had I needed some chocolate."
[ 2014.06.14 03:55:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I didn't realize that CEO Gesakaarin had a brother."
[ 2014.06.14 03:57:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes another dainty spoonful of chocolate, savoring the Zabaglione.
[ 2014.06.14 03:57:47 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote reclines slightly back in his seat, his eyes on Lunarisse, "I'm sure some chocolate will not detract in the least from your figure and your grace," He nods, "And yes, she does, here he is."
[ 2014.06.14 03:59:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote dabs her lips with a napkiin and looks at Hevaima "Didn't you use to fly with one of the Pyre cadres?"
[ 2014.06.14 04:00:39 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote shakes his head slightly, "No, I simply filed the SCC paperwork for them."
[ 2014.06.14 04:01:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I see. Your talents lie more in business or perhaps law?
[ 2014.06.14 04:02:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her champagn.
[ 2014.06.14 04:04:27 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote smirks wryly, "I am Caldari, and a man of many talents Lady Aspenstar."
[ 2014.06.14 04:05:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote seems to acknowledge that with a rueful nod.
[ 2014.06.14 04:05:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote asks "Does one of your talents include picking out wine?" and gestures at the racks surrounding the room "I am entitled to my choice here. Care to select one for us?
[ 2014.06.14 04:08:45 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote is actually not there any longer, having been called away on important matters
[ 2014.06.14 04:09:24 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote chuckles with amusement and considers for a moment, "I have always been partial to any Cabernet from an Ardishapur estate," He then says in fluid Amarrad with a Kingdom accent.
[ 2014.06.14 04:10:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blinks slightly as she hears the accent and orders a Cabarnet.
[ 2014.06.14 04:12:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Interesting... Did you spend time in Kingdom space?"
[ 2014.06.14 04:12:37 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > "A few years, yes."
[ 2014.06.14 04:14:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I confess I've not spent much time there. Only on mining ops'
[ 2014.06.14 04:14:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "it is very different culturally than Empire space"
[ 2014.06.14 04:17:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that the waitress will deliver the bottle to Hevaima.
[ 2014.06.14 04:17:24 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > "I would agree, yes. No Theology Council for one."
[ 2014.06.14 04:18:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes.. a much darker and less controlled version of the Faith.
[ 2014.06.14 04:19:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches slightly, then glances at the bottle of wine.
[ 2014.06.14 04:19:47 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote smiles simply, "Perhaps, but I don't tend to judge in matters that do not concern me."
[ 2014.06.14 04:20:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Sensible. I try to not to think too hard about State politics."
[ 2014.06.14 04:20:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles.
[ 2014.06.14 04:21:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "It all seems rather Labrynithian to me...." *trails off* "Care to do to the honors?"
[ 2014.06.14 04:23:16 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote nods, "They can be difficult to understand for those that are not aware of the intricacies of history, culture, and philosophy of the Caldari, I would agree." He then spreads his empty hands wide.
[ 2014.06.14 04:23:31 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > "Unfortunately I do not keep a cork opener with me."
[ 2014.06.14 04:23:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glares at the waitress who scurries to the kitchen.
[ 2014.06.14 04:24:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote passes her business card over to Hevaima "As you can see.. I also have many talents.. but not nearly as many as you."
[ 2014.06.14 04:27:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes the cork opener from the waitress with a glare that would melt titanium.
[ 2014.06.14 04:28:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles and says brightly as the glare passes "here you go, Mr. Gesakaarin"
[ 2014.06.14 04:28:23 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote chuckles and takes the card, inspecting it briefly before pocketing it, "Of that I have no doubt Lady Aspenstar, and my thanks for the vote of confidence regarding my many talents."
[ 2014.06.14 04:30:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote passes over the cork opener.
[ 2014.06.14 04:31:25 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote takes the cork opener and attends to the bottle of Cabernet with simple proficiency, popping the cork and leaving it aside on the table. Lifting the bottle he gestures to Lunarisse's glass with a polite raise of the brow in question.
[ 2014.06.14 04:32:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote asks in a polite voice "Aren't you going to make sure it is satisfactory first?"
[ 2014.06.14 04:34:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives a level glance towards to Hevaima.
[ 2014.06.14 04:36:25 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > "Well, I would need a glass to play both taster and sommelier," He chuckles with a grin.
[ 2014.06.14 04:37:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rolls her eyes at Hevaima and mutters inaudibly "Men" and gives a fiercer glare to the waitress who dashes back to the kitchen.
[ 2014.06.14 04:38:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles brightly "so what does your corporation do? It seems rather different than Pyre"
[ 2014.06.14 04:39:31 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote shrugs, "Nothing too exciting. I just manage some agricultural research projects."
[ 2014.06.14 04:40:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh? Have you researched grape varieties or hybrids? I am a loss right now trying to find the right grapes for Lord Raholan's holdings..."
[ 2014.06.14 04:40:53 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > "No, not grapes."
[ 2014.06.14 04:41:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote collects a glass from the waitress, giving her a frosty glare that would shatter titanium.
[ 2014.06.14 04:41:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Pity. The issue is the soil is not the most fertile."
[ 2014.06.14 04:41:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > So I need grapes that can grow in such conditions.
[ 2014.06.14 04:42:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles at Hevaima "oh! here is a wine glass for you." and passes it over.
[ 2014.06.14 04:43:53 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote returns the smile with a nod of appreciation and takes the glass from Lunarisse, "I'm afraid I don't do the actual research, simply management and administration." He pours a small amount of wine in the glass from the bottle of cabernet.
[ 2014.06.14 04:45:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is seated upright watching Hevaima as he does so.
[ 2014.06.14 04:49:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers "a Deteis, of course"
[ 2014.06.14 04:50:07 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote swirls the glass idly for a few moments before lifting the glass to his nose and inhaling. Nodding appreciatively he drains the small amount of wine in the glass, spending some time tasting it before looking at Lunarisse with a wry smile.
[ 2014.06.14 04:50:18 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > "Bon vin I suppose as they say in the Fed."
[ 2014.06.14 04:51:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I suppose... were my glass filled/"
[ 2014.06.14 04:51:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles primly.
[ 2014.06.14 04:53:01 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote pours the wine into Lunarisse's glass about three quarters full, "Glad to oblige," he says and then the same with his own before sitting back down in his chair.
[ 2014.06.14 04:53:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles "Bon Vin"
[ 2014.06.14 04:53:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her wine.
[ 2014.06.14 04:55:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Perhaps you can enlighten me on one point... I can tell you are a very diligent and hard working man. What does one like you do on your time off?
[ 2014.06.14 04:55:31 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote takes his glass of wine and nods, "Bon Vin," before taking his own sip from the glass.
[ 2014.06.14 04:56:02 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > "I write," He says matter-of-factly.
[ 2014.06.14 04:57:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head with genuine interest, brushing her hair back "Oh? Poems or Prose?"
[ 2014.06.14 04:59:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I run a reader's cafe.. not sure if you knew that. We have readings from time to time" and twinkles.
[ 2014.06.14 05:00:11 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > "Prose fiction at times, short pieces. I'm no professional by any means."
[ 2014.06.14 05:00:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh! Well I'd be interested in reading some of it. I write poetry."
[ 2014.06.14 05:01:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote finishes her glass with a satisfied smile.
[ 2014.06.14 05:01:25 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote smiles, "Then it seems we have a common ground."
[ 2014.06.14 05:02:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > We shall have to explore that further, I hope.
[ 2014.06.14 05:03:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks crestfallen has her datapad beeps.
[ 2014.06.14 05:03:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Unfortunately *frowns at her datapad* it's time for me to check on the shop maintenance work that is supposed to be finished now.
[ 2014.06.14 05:04:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs and glances at Hevaima "it was a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
[ 2014.06.14 05:04:12 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote stands to his feet and nods, "Well perhaps you might grant me the pleasure of accompanying you out?"
[ 2014.06.14 05:05:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles slightly "That would be fine. I am heading to the hangars."
[ 2014.06.14 05:06:21 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > "Very well, then thank you for the company, conversation and wine, Lady Aspenstar," He says smiling.
[ 2014.06.14 05:07:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rises and says simply "the same" as she departs, waiting for Hevaima to go with her.
[ 2014.06.14 05:07:59 ] Hevaima Gesakaarin > /emote walks to Lunarisse's side as he takes his gloves from his belt and begins putting them on.

Periodically there are cross-hatched sections that serve to store wine bottles horizontally. The temperature is cool. There are multiple tables and booths with sumptious velvet red cushions. Stained glass lanterns and lights providing soft lighting. Each table has a wine & beverage list with a range of wines, ales, liquors and non-alcoholic drinks such as tea. A simple menu is also on each table that indicates that complimentary bread and assorted cheeses and fruits are provided to those who order by the bottle. Along one wall is a suit of golden armor with ceremonial sword and a tabard for the theology counsel that is cut for a femine figure along with a Picture. A square parquet dance floor is in the center of the room. The jolly, bald headed proprietor and attentive wait staff are all baseliners.

[ 2014.06.15 01:53:48 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote meanders into the Grape, a leather bound catalogue in her hand. Heige is with her, as well. She grabs a seat and starts reading, turning the glossy coloured pages, reading the descriptions and looking at the pictures
[ 2014.06.15 01:55:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters, wearing a sun dress that makes her look like she was planetside and she glances about to see who is here.
[ 2014.06.15 01:55:39 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote is burried in her catalogue, she doesn't notice Lunarisse.
[ 2014.06.15 01:57:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles as she sees Erin engrossed in what appeaers to be a book and makes her away over.
[ 2014.06.15 01:58:17 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote glances up, ready to erupt with the fury of a thousand suns at whomever messed up her light but stops when she sees that it's Luna. "Oh, hello." she says
[ 2014.06.15 01:59:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blinks, then asks as she slides into a chair "Err.. Hi Erin. What are you reading?"
[ 2014.06.15 02:00:12 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote smiles "Just the catalogue for the next auction at Stemwinner's. They put this out a few months ago, but I had mostly ignored the lot. Until I found out about the cat."
[ 2014.06.15 02:03:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote raises an eyebrow "I was unaware Stemwinner's sold pets"
[ 2014.06.15 02:03:45 ] Erin Savonarola > "It's a rather, ummm, rare occurrance." She flips over to the tabbed page and shows Luna ( https://i.imgur.com/hxmg8xM.jpg )
[ 2014.06.15 02:04:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at the page and studies it.... impassively which is unusual for Lunarisse.
[ 2014.06.15 02:05:45 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote giggles.
[ 2014.06.15 02:06:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks up and states simply "How.....err... Odd."
[ 2014.06.15 02:06:51 ] Erin Savonarola > "Odd?"
[ 2014.06.15 02:07:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I've seen hairy babies..
[ 2014.06.15 02:07:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > but that girl takes the cake...
[ 2014.06.15 02:07:29 ] Erin Savonarola > "Gallente. What can I say?
[ 2014.06.15 02:08:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote grimaces "I thought genetic tampering like that was banned in most civilized places"
[ 2014.06.15 02:09:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > How much is she going for?
[ 2014.06.15 02:09:14 ] Erin Savonarola > "Body modification is common in the Federation. Though, yes, that is a bit far."
[ 2014.06.15 02:12:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns "I guess how I feel about it depends in part on whether she chose to be that way..."
[ 2014.06.15 02:14:51 ] Erin Savonarola > "The catalogue estimates forty thousand to sixty thousand Imperial Crowns." she shrugs. That could be higher or lower. It's hard to tell with these one offs."
[ 2014.06.15 02:15:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh gosh. well never mind my thought.
[ 2014.06.15 02:15:38 ] Erin Savonarola > "What thought?"
[ 2014.06.15 02:15:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > To acquire her and have her fixced.
[ 2014.06.15 02:16:16 ] Erin Savonarola > "Why would you do that? You would kill her value!"
[ 2014.06.15 02:16:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > As I said.. I guess I'd only want to do that if she didn't ask to be that way...
[ 2014.06.15 02:16:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *trails off*
[ 2014.06.15 02:16:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Poor thing.
[ 2014.06.15 02:17:58 ] Erin Savonarola > "Oh. Well. She seems to enjoy being like that." She flips the pages, showing a Starmanir male, nude against a white background. "One hundred thousand Imperial Sovereigns is the starting bid for him." She sighs
[ 2014.06.15 02:18:17 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote walks into the Holy Grape with an extra bounce in her step. Twirling to the to nearest wait staff, she recites her carefully practiced order, and then looks around for somewhere to sit.
[ 2014.06.15 02:18:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances and averts her eyes fairly quickly "Wow."
[ 2014.06.15 02:18:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I thought Brutor umm.. were...
[ 2014.06.15 02:19:25 ] Erin Savonarola > "Never brought slaves before?" she giggles "If they are wearing clothes at auction, it means there is no guarentee. Of course, Stemwinner's does not sell that kind."
[ 2014.06.15 02:19:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Rhoxy and stiffens, and whispers something into her comm unit.
[ 2014.06.15 02:19:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote returns her attention to Erin.
[ 2014.06.15 02:20:49 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote notices Luna and Erin sitting together looking at a magazine, and decides to sit across from them. "Hello!"
[ 2014.06.15 02:20:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks slightly pink but asks "Do you interview them before the auction?"
[ 2014.06.15 02:21:02 ] Erin Savonarola > "Something the matter?" Hans and Franz glance at Rhoxy
[ 2014.06.15 02:21:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles primly at Erin "Oh, nothing/"
[ 2014.06.15 02:21:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Hello Ms. Runekin.
[ 2014.06.15 02:22:07 ] Erin Savonarola > "I do. Yes, there is time to inspect them before the auction. After they put the catalogue out, holders can come by and inspect the goods." She closes thebook
[ 2014.06.15 02:22:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that in the background, a guard is positioned next to the kitchen doors.
[ 2014.06.15 02:22:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote relaxes and nods at Erin.
[ 2014.06.15 02:22:28 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote looks up at Rhoxy "Hello, miss?"
[ 2014.06.15 02:22:31 ] Rhoxy Runekin > "What're you looking at, Is that an underwear catalogue?"
[ 2014.06.15 02:23:04 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote smiles to Erin, holding out a hand, "Rhoxy. Or, Rhoxanne when I'm in trouble."
[ 2014.06.15 02:23:33 ] Erin Savonarola > "This is the latest lot at Stemwinners." she does not extend her hand.
[ 2014.06.15 02:23:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote flashes Rhoxy a wicked grin 'It's not an underwear catalog...Rhoxanne"
[ 2014.06.15 02:24:53 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote glances to Hans and waves him off, just before he was going to pluck the Intaki from her seat.
[ 2014.06.15 02:25:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Whatcha having for dessert?
[ 2014.06.15 02:26:26 ] Erin Savonarola > "Maybe you should make introductions, Ms. Aspenstar?"
[ 2014.06.15 02:27:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Rhoxy Runekin, this is the Contessa di le solfete, Erin Savonarola
[ 2014.06.15 02:27:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Erin... this is Rhoxy. She sells Quafe.
[ 2014.06.15 02:27:26 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote stiffens slightly at her full name, "ah, oh.. Me and Ms. Apenstar have met. just a little ice cream. I've been cooped in my room for daaays."
[ 2014.06.15 02:28:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh? Too much Quafe perhaps? *smiles innocently*
[ 2014.06.15 02:28:26 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote makes a mental note to speak to Luna about when formality is called for.
[ 2014.06.15 02:30:25 ] Erin Savonarola > "Ms. Runekin. Nice to meet you."
[ 2014.06.15 02:31:52 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote grins, "No such thing." She gives Erin a genuine smile, "Pleasure's mine. What's stemwinner? botany?"
[ 2014.06.15 02:33:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles slightly and looks into her drink.
[ 2014.06.15 02:34:39 ] Erin Savonarola > "Stermwinner's is a high end auction house in Dam-Torsad."
[ 2014.06.15 02:35:17 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote nods, though doesn't seem to full grasp it. "I see."
[ 2014.06.15 02:35:57 ] Erin Savonarola > "I was looking over thier latest offerings with Ms. Aspenstar."
[ 2014.06.15 02:37:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her blush wine.
[ 2014.06.15 02:38:22 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote has images of large old fancy clocks, and ancient dishware, a painting or two passing through her head at the mention of an auction, mostly boring stuff. "We've never really had the ISK for that sort of thing."
[ 2014.06.15 02:38:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh.. Stermwinner's apparently has cats.
[ 2014.06.15 02:38:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says this causally.
[ 2014.06.15 02:40:43 ] Erin Savonarola > "Who is we?" she gives Luna a wicked look, though it's not clear if it's a wicked amused or what
[ 2014.06.15 02:41:52 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote looks back towards the kitchen to see what might be taking so long. "My father and I." she replies, looking back to the book curiously now.
[ 2014.06.15 02:42:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that the kitchen staff have now delivered Rhoxy her order.
[ 2014.06.15 02:44:17 ] Erin Savonarola > "Who is your father?"
[ 2014.06.15 02:44:34 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote 's eyes grow wide at the wide assortment of scoops and toppings aloted before her. a vertiable rainbow of flavors and syrups, all topped with what was probably an entire can of whipped cream, sparklers, and yet more paper umbrellas.
[ 2014.06.15 02:44:56 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote peeks around her ice cream at Erin, "He goes by Eternal Guardian."
[ 2014.06.15 02:45:05 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote notes that the leather bound catalogue is closed, byt Heilge, her Starkmanir slave
[ 2014.06.15 02:45:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote raises an eyebrow at the supersized dessert.
[ 2014.06.15 02:46:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Vincentus the proprietor and waggles her finger and she hisses at him when he arrives "How come you never told me you had an ice cream parloir stashed back there?" He looks sheepish. Luna says "I want what she has."
[ 2014.06.15 02:46:34 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote giggles madly
[ 2014.06.15 02:47:41 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote feels the need for a ladel, but makes do with her soup spoon as she begins digging in.
[ 2014.06.15 02:48:38 ] Erin Savonarola > "Eternal Guardian is your father? Oh, he mentioned something about having adopted a Gallente girl."
[ 2014.06.15 02:50:07 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote nods with a mmhm! "our corporation is at war at the moment, so he grounded me here to keep me safe, but I've been going out of my mind."
[ 2014.06.15 02:50:27 ] Erin Savonarola > "That's a recent development?"
[ 2014.06.15 02:50:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh? I didn't hear about that
[ 2014.06.15 02:50:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gets a more serious demeanor as she frowns.
[ 2014.06.15 02:52:14 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote speaks through cheekfulls of whipped cream, "yeah. like, four days now. buncha bloodthirsty mercs or something." she swallows hard, licking her lips of the cream. "pretty much everyone is grounded, till CONCORD calls it off."
[ 2014.06.15 02:52:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote scowls "just hiding let's them know you are weak."
[ 2014.06.15 02:52:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You are an industrial corp. Hire mercs."
[ 2014.06.15 02:53:06 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote clears her throat. "Kindly do not speak with food in your mouth."
[ 2014.06.15 02:54:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Vincentus as he staggers out carrying a large dish with a wide assortment of scoops and toppings aloted before her. a vertiable rainbow of flavors and syrups, all topped with what was probably an entire can of whipped cream -c-
[ 2014.06.15 02:54:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > sparklers and paper umbrellas
[ 2014.06.15 02:54:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles primly "thank you" and makes a dainty stab of her spoon into the ginormous dish.
[ 2014.06.15 02:55:03 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote nods, a blush creeping across her face. she now speaks while gesturing with her spoon, "Hire whom? and that would only encourage them to keep the war effort going. plus that costs money. we're an industrial corp, of course we're weak. but this is the most economic option for us."
[ 2014.06.15 02:55:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh. Don't have mercs Ally with you.
[ 2014.06.15 02:55:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Have them declare a new war.. it will distract them.
[ 2014.06.15 02:55:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > And they will forget about you.
[ 2014.06.15 02:57:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs, stops talking, and makes another dainty stab of her spoon.
[ 2014.06.15 02:57:20 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote sips her wine, looking at the ice cream. She smirks
[ 2014.06.15 02:59:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote puts her spoon down and dabs her lips with a napkin "Well.. Contessa, if you make the purchase.. I'd like to speak with. it.. er.. her."
[ 2014.06.15 03:00:12 ] Erin Savonarola > "I'll be attending the auction tomorrow. As I said, I was going to invite you, but your daughter said you were allergic to cats."
[ 2014.06.15 03:00:23 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote cleans an umbrella or two and sticks them in her hair, systematically working from one end of the platter to the other much the same way she cleans out an asteroid field.
[ 2014.06.15 03:01:28 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote blinks at the umbrellas in Rhoxy's hair. Many times
[ 2014.06.15 03:02:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches slightly "that is true, I am.. but.. I am not sure this qualifies"
[ 2014.06.15 03:03:05 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, it's up to you."
[ 2014.06.15 03:04:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > If am available,I will come. I have... questions.
[ 2014.06.15 03:05:00 ] Erin Savonarola > "Alright."
[ 2014.06.15 03:05:18 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote takes note of Erin's drawn attention, and offers her a deep blue umbrella which matchers her atire. "Would you like one, Erin?"
[ 2014.06.15 03:05:32 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote says "no" flatly
[ 2014.06.15 03:08:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns as her datapad chirps.
[ 2014.06.15 03:08:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "My pardon Contessa, I need to go check on a matter involving some crew."
[ 2014.06.15 03:08:50 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote adds this third one to her head behind the other ear. "I hope everything's alright, Luna."
[ 2014.06.15 03:09:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Rhoxy but does not directly answer "Good night... Rhoxanne"
[ 2014.06.15 03:09:19 ] Erin Savonarola > "Alright dear. I hope everything is okay."
[ 2014.06.15 03:09:42 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote visibly droops a bit.
[ 2014.06.15 03:09:55 ] Erin Savonarola > "what
[ 2014.06.15 03:10:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns back to the Contessa and smiles slightly "I am sure it will be sorted. have a good night" and sighs as she sees her barely touched Sundae but leaves it on the table as she goes.
[ 2014.06.15 03:10:17 ] Erin Savonarola > "What's wrong, Rhoxanne?"
[ 2014.06.15 03:11:42 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote grimaces a little, "nothing. Just, remmebered something unfortunate."
[ 2014.06.15 03:12:06 ] Erin Savonarola > "And what is that?"
[ 2014.06.15 03:12:47 ] Rhoxy Runekin > "I may have, accidentally, on purpose, made Luna a bit upset."
[ 2014.06.15 03:13:14 ] Erin Savonarola > "What did you do? She's one of the most reasonable women I know."
[ 2014.06.15 03:13:58 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote quickly fills her mouth with more ice cream.
[ 2014.06.15 03:15:18 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote waits calmly
[ 2014.06.15 03:16:46 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote swallows hard, "I gave her some experimental quafe."
[ 2014.06.15 03:16:58 ] Erin Savonarola > "Experimental Quafe?"
[ 2014.06.15 03:18:24 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote nodnods, "I.. managed to get some of the YC117 quafe ultra, and in taste testing, gave her some... it made her sound a bit like a hyperactive chipmunk for a few days."
[ 2014.06.15 03:18:48 ] Erin Savonarola > "I see. That would explain it."
[ 2014.06.15 03:19:33 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote quickly fills her mouth with yet more ice cream, looking a bit chimpunk-ish herself.
[ 2014.06.15 03:20:48 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, I too need to take my leave. It was good to meet you, Ms. Runekin."
[ 2014.06.15 03:22:46 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote nods, motioning that the feeling is mutual, not daring to speak again with a full mouth.
[ 2014.06.15 03:22:54 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote smiles and departs
[ 2014.06.15 04:15:23 ] Rhoxy Runekin > /emote manages to finish both her own and Luna's ice creams, but dearly regrets doing so as she wanders back to her room.

**The Auction**

[ 2014.06.16 01:53:45 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote is sitting in a chair, in a formal blue dress ( https://i.imgur.com/BdBpMl3.jpg ) Heilge is doing Erin's make up. Gulia opens the door for Luna, inviting her in.
[ 2014.06.16 01:55:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters wearing White Linen Dress and, after pausing, nods at Gulia and enters on the side of the door farthest away and smiles at Erin;
[ 2014.06.16 01:56:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Hello."
[ 2014.06.16 01:56:49 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote glances over before Heilge gives her a disapproving glace. "Ah, Lunarisse, just in time. There is a dress in your size in the wardrobe. Gulia will help you get ready."
[ 2014.06.16 01:57:30 ] Erin Savonarola > *Gulia holds out the dress ( https://i.imgur.com/6diPwNe.png )
[ 2014.06.16 01:57:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers "thank you", glancing at the dress.
[ 2014.06.16 01:58:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote accepts the dress and goes where appropriate to change into it.
[ 2014.06.16 01:59:53 ] Erin Savonarola > *Heilge finishes Erin's makeup and puts on the tiara. The slave looks over her holder with a critical eye for anything out of place. Gulia, on the other hand helps Luna change in the main suite."
[ 2014.06.16 02:00:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote returns with Gulia after an appropriate amount of time (no need to wait the 40 minutes or so Luna would take)
[ 2014.06.16 02:00:59 ] Erin Savonarola > ((lol, Gulia works fast and Heilge would help. 20 minutes to style hair and makeup Smile ))
[ 2014.06.16 02:01:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances in the mirror, fussing with her hair some more.
[ 2014.06.16 02:02:24 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote puts on her tiara and takes a breath, now she looks like a holder. "Alright, let's go." She turns to her slaves "Girls, behave while I'm out."
[ 2014.06.16 02:02:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > emote has a purse which contains a data pad in it and collects that as she follows Erin.
[ 2014.06.16 02:03:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Will there be a lot of people there?
[ 2014.06.16 02:03:51 ] Erin Savonarola > "Wait." Heilge comes forward and pins a broach over Luna's left breast with the House Savonarola crest displayed.
[ 2014.06.16 02:04:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pauses stiffly as it is pinned,.
[ 2014.06.16 02:04:50 ] Erin Savonarola > "While we're there, you are my retainer. There are strict rules for admittance, only members and a small staff. No slaves allowed. So, while we are at Stermwinner's you will be my staff."
[ 2014.06.16 02:05:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly and says in a clipped voice "Understood."
[ 2014.06.16 02:06:36 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote heads out the door and down to the ground car, talking as she does. "This is one of the most exclusive auction houses in the Empire. Nothing that you have ever experienced can prepare you for this. People with names of Sarum, Kador, Tash-Murkon
[ 2014.06.16 02:06:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles slightly to herself but nods at Erin.
[ 2014.06.16 02:07:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes... Contessa.
[ 2014.06.16 02:07:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I think we best be formal while there.
[ 2014.06.16 02:08:35 ] Erin Savonarola > "Ardishapur are going to be here. Holders of systems and constellations, not just planetary holders. Formality is not just advised, it's required."
[ 2014.06.16 02:09:40 ] Erin Savonarola > "Do not show weakness, defer to me. You are swimming with the sharks tonight. All the rumors that you hear of holders and power and oppulance, they are all true at Stermwinner's"
[ 2014.06.16 02:11:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods. "Understood"
[ 2014.06.16 02:13:46 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote smiles at Luna as the car stops "That said, do try and enjoy yourself." A uniformed doorman opens the door and Erin steps out, her heels clicking on the marble
[ 2014.06.16 02:14:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote follows, walking quite well on her heels.
[ 2014.06.16 02:17:10 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote walks up to the door. She pulls a card from her clutch and presents it to the seneschal. "The Contessa di le Solfete, Erin Savonarola and assistant." she says. The man looks at the card and opens an honest to God book and checks a list.
[ 2014.06.16 02:17:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pauses, standing behind Erin with her hands clapsed.
[ 2014.06.16 02:19:42 ] Erin Savonarola > *He hands the card back to Erin with a bow and two men open the door. All the staff are wearing a tan jacket with a Stermwinner's crest patch on the left breast. as well as black slacks. They enter into the lobby, where Erin checks her cloak.
[ 2014.06.16 02:22:22 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote hands the claim ticket to Lunarisse silently. The lobby is constructed with wood paneling on the walls, intricatly carved with scenes of Imperial glory and might. The floor is marble and the chandelier is a gold and crystal design that is float...
[ 2014.06.16 02:22:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote places the claim ticket in her purse and glances about the well apppointed surroundings.
[ 2014.06.16 02:22:50 ] Erin Savonarola > *floating, held up on repulsor fields and tractor beams.*
[ 2014.06.16 02:24:03 ] Erin Savonarola > *There are few other patrons in the lobby, most having moved to the main hall.*
[ 2014.06.16 02:25:21 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote heads in the direction of the door. "A Stermwinner's auction is as much as a social event as a sale. People come to be seen, even if they have no intention on bidding." she says softly to Luna
[ 2014.06.16 02:25:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly but does not respond. She is glancing at the patrons in a discrete way as they proceed.
[ 2014.06.16 02:28:09 ] Erin Savonarola > "House Stermwinner started off as a modest house of note since the founding of the Empire. More often than not, they had a seat on the Council of Apostles. Along the way, they got heavily into the slave trade, becoming one of the dominant players in
[ 2014.06.16 02:30:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods fractionally to Erin.
[ 2014.06.16 02:31:07 ] Erin Savonarola > "Amarr system. They would hold auctions for slaves often, but reserve their uncommon offerings for certain special events. Thus, giving rise to House today. After the Moral Reforms, they were a vassal of House Sarum, but changed to the Emperor Family
[ 2014.06.16 02:33:36 ] Erin Savonarola > "around a thousand years ago. They deal less now in common slaves and are known for being a clearing house of rarities. Some of the slaves tonight will be owned by Lord Stermwinner himself, others put up on consignment. Either way, House Stermwinner
[ 2014.06.16 02:33:49 ] Erin Savonarola > "makes money and is held in high regard."
[ 2014.06.16 02:34:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers in a low voice "I see."
[ 2014.06.16 02:36:26 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote makes her way into the main hall. It is appointed like the lobby, with wood paneling and carved murals. There are more floating chandeliers and statues and paintings placed as well. There are several dozen persons in the main hall, lords and
[ 2014.06.16 02:36:44 ] Erin Savonarola > ladies from around the Empire, impeccably dressed.
[ 2014.06.16 02:39:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote unconciously smooths her dress as she enters.
[ 2014.06.16 02:40:13 ] Erin Savonarola > *The main feature of the room is a long buffet table with every kind of food imaginable. Steak, seafood, fowl, fruit, cheese, bread. Uniformed servers also wonder around with trays of food and drink, willing to get a plate to order from the buffet and
[ 2014.06.16 02:40:20 ] Erin Savonarola > *drinks from the bar*
[ 2014.06.16 02:42:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote keeps her face impassive, as she glances at the buffet table.
[ 2014.06.16 02:43:03 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote grins. "I hope you're hungry."
[ 2014.06.16 02:43:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote's lip twitches slightly in half grin as she maintains her facade.
[ 2014.06.16 02:45:50 ] Erin Savonarola > "Why don't you get us both plates?"
[ 2014.06.16 02:45:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Erin,
[ 2014.06.16 02:46:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes, Milady
[ 2014.06.16 02:46:48 ] Erin Savonarola > "Nothing that is going to require silverware. They have those nice kabobs for the steaks."
[ 2014.06.16 02:47:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods "Yes, Milady" and glances at the buffet "Do you have a preference in fruit or vegetables?"
[ 2014.06.16 02:48:44 ] Erin Savonarola > "No celary." she smiles
[ 2014.06.16 02:50:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods, and with a curtsey turns to go over to the buffet table and collects a plate and begins to survey it's vast smorgasford.
[ 2014.06.16 02:52:40 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote wonders off, presumably to talk to someone. A large rotund man with a waxed handlebar mustache winds up next to Luna at the table "I don't think that I've seen you here before, young lady." he says with a gruff voice
[ 2014.06.16 02:55:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stiffens slightly and turns, so that her House Savonarola insignia is visible and says in her politest voice with a slight hint of a smile "No, Sir. This is the first time I've accompanied Milady, the Contessa di le Solfete" being sure to name drop Erin's name.
[ 2014.06.16 02:57:32 ] Erin Savonarola > *"Ah, yes. Is she after that Starkmanir? The Contessa's been trying to get a viable line of them for a while."*
[ 2014.06.16 03:00:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pauses then looks to the floor with downcast eyes "I am not privy to that, Milord"
[ 2014.06.16 03:03:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pauses, not wanting to turn her back on him and go back to the buffet, while he is still addressing her.
[ 2014.06.16 03:03:09 ] Erin Savonarola > *He chuckles. "Of course. And you wouldn't tell me if you were, am I right?"
[ 2014.06.16 03:03:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks up with her wide blue eyes "as you say, Milord" with a slight hint of a smile at the edge of her lips.
[ 2014.06.16 03:06:03 ] Erin Savonarola > *He grabs a couple of lobster claws for his plate. "How impolite of me. I am Lord Horace Whitover."
[ 2014.06.16 03:07:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "Lord Whitover, I am Mrs. Lunarisse Daphiti", still facing him and not touching the buffet.
[ 2014.06.16 03:09:06 ] Erin Savonarola > *"Well met, Mrs. Daphiti. Give my regards to the Contessa." He wonders off
[ 2014.06.16 03:09:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote curtseys slightly to him as he says so "Yes, Milord" and relaxes fractionally after he wanders off.
[ 2014.06.16 03:12:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns to the table and collects a lamb kabob, shrimp, and "finger food" vegetables and dip for Erin.
[ 2014.06.16 03:12:22 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote has acquired a champagne flute and is sipping it, talking to a Holder in Sarum colours
[ 2014.06.16 03:13:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote approaches where Erin is, holding Erin's plate, but does not interrupt.
[ 2014.06.16 03:15:41 ] Erin Savonarola > "Ah, she's back with the food. Lord Rigel, this is Lunarisse Aspenstar, one of my capsuleer staff."
[ 2014.06.16 03:16:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote curtseys slightly, while balancing her plate, "Contessa."
[ 2014.06.16 03:18:10 ] Erin Savonarola > "Lunarisse, this is Lord Rigel." Erin deftly takes the plate from Luna
[ 2014.06.16 03:18:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says politely "A privilege, Milord"
[ 2014.06.16 03:20:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances to Erin "Lord Horace Whitemore sends his regards, Milady"
[ 2014.06.16 03:21:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glance back, standing a few paces behind Erin.
[ 2014.06.16 03:22:36 ] Erin Savonarola > *Lord Rigel smiles to Luna, lecherously "You always have pretty staff. Mind sharing her with me before the bidding starts?"
[ 2014.06.16 03:23:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stands stiffly behind Erin, her face impassive.
[ 2014.06.16 03:24:46 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote smiles thinly "I don't even like sharing the same air as you. What makes you think that would share my staff?"
[ 2014.06.16 03:29:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote does not interrupt Erin, but glances Lord Rigel's way as if looking over his shoulder.\
[ 2014.06.16 03:31:28 ] Erin Savonarola > *He narrows his eyes and turns, walking off.
[ 2014.06.16 03:31:45 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote giggles "He's been upset ever since I outbid him for Heilge."
[ 2014.06.16 03:32:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote whispers to Erin "I was about to ask who that guy was."
[ 2014.06.16 03:32:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote straightens up and asks in a conversational voice "Do you need anything else, Milady?"
[ 2014.06.16 03:35:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote's hands are bare as she did not get herself a plate.
[ 2014.06.16 03:35:44 ] Erin Savonarola > "No, I think this will do lovely." She smiles as they mingle with the rest. Some are friendly, some neutral, some are flat snakes. Until finally the announcement is made for lots 35-92 "That's us. Lot 78."
[ 2014.06.16 03:36:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Erin "Yes, Milady. Do you require me to do anything during the bidding?"
[ 2014.06.16 03:39:07 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote makes her way into the auction house, a room with the same style as the rest. "Okay, here's where you come in." she lowers her voice. "Stand on that wall over there. When 78 comes up for bid, use the neocom and text me the reactions of the othe...
[ 2014.06.16 03:40:39 ] Erin Savonarola > other bidders. I want to know when they are getting to their breaking point." There are a few other retainers standing on the far wall as well.
[ 2014.06.16 03:41:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly at Erin "Anyone in particular you expect to pose... difficulty?"
[ 2014.06.16 03:43:27 ] Erin Savonarola > "Lady Sallenger, over there in the green. The cat would be in here sphere of interest. The other is Lord Ammand Ardishapur. He's gone on record as saying he wants to buy her to 'end her blight upon God's creation.' "
[ 2014.06.16 03:43:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly, and twitches at the last comment.
[ 2014.06.16 03:44:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote whispers "Contessa, did you ever find out if she is that way voluntarily or not?"
[ 2014.06.16 03:44:57 ] Erin Savonarola > "Lastly, Lord Fraggon. He appreciates oddities." She shrugs "Apparently she was born in her current state."
[ 2014.06.16 03:45:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly.
[ 2014.06.16 03:46:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances over the audience, placing them in her mind.
[ 2014.06.16 03:47:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote curtsey to Erin and makes her way over to the wall, patting her purse to make sure her neocomm is still there.
[ 2014.06.16 03:47:56 ] Erin Savonarola > "Alright." she goes and takes a seat. The auction starts and slaves are brought out. All of them are displayed au natural. Erin puts a few bids on some of the offerings, mostly True Amarr, but never anythign serious, bowing out once the bidding gets
[ 2014.06.16 03:48:07 ] Erin Savonarola > down to a handful of bidders
[ 2014.06.16 03:53:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote watches attentively.
[ 2014.06.16 03:53:09 ] Erin Savonarola > *A middle aged man with a pronounced Amarr accent is the auctioneer. "Lot 78 then. A Gallente slave with genetic modifications and a feline appearance" The cat is lead out to the auction block, looking scared, and confused
[ 2014.06.16 03:54:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at the audience to see if Lady Sallenger, Lord Ardhishapur, and Lord Fraggon notice the new Lot.
[ 2014.06.16 03:55:00 ] Erin Savonarola > *"Shall we start the bidding at five thousand crowns? Yes, thank you, six thousand?" Erin gets in on the second bid, raising her card. "I have six. Seven?" Lady Sallenger bids seven. All total there are eight different bidders that drive the price up twenty thousand crowns*
[ 2014.06.16 03:57:42 ] Erin Savonarola > *The other bidders bow out, leaving the four to it as Erin bids twenty one thousand crowns*
[ 2014.06.16 03:58:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that Lord Fragon glances at the other three and bids, raising it to 25,000 crowns.
[ 2014.06.16 04:00:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote Lady Sallinger checks her neocomm and raises her card, raising the bid to 26,000.
[ 2014.06.16 04:00:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notices that Lady Sillinger had to check her finances and sends a note to Erin quietly on the neocomm.
[ 2014.06.16 04:01:22 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote keeps a poker face, waiting to see if someone else is going to outbid. The auctioneer says "I have twnty five, is there twenty six. Yes. Do I have 27?" Erin blinks as the message comes in and bids twenty seven
[ 2014.06.16 04:02:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that Lord Ardishapur, with the look of a zealot, firmly raises his card right after Erin and states in a stentorian voice "28".
[ 2014.06.16 04:03:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sends a note to Erin that Ardishapur seems to be quite focused on the bidding.
[ 2014.06.16 04:04:40 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote says "Thirty" and raises her card. The auctioneer nods "I have thirty, do I have thirty three?"
[ 2014.06.16 04:05:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that Lady Sallinger checks her neocomm again and then closes her purse and places her hand on her laps. Lord Fraggon raises his card "33"
[ 2014.06.16 04:07:01 ] Erin Savonarola > *The auctioneer nods "The bid is 33. Do I have thirty five thousand crowns?"
[ 2014.06.16 04:07:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that Lord Ardisphapur raises his card and states in a stentorian voice "35"
[ 2014.06.16 04:08:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote lets Erin know it appears Lady Sallinger dropped out.
[ 2014.06.16 04:08:39 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote thinks to her self that is an awful lot of money to spend just to kill something. She raises her card "Thirty six"
[ 2014.06.16 04:09:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote is scanning her neocomm discretely as if she is doing some research.
[ 2014.06.16 04:09:15 ] Erin Savonarola > *"The bid is thirty six, do I have thirty seven?"
[ 2014.06.16 04:09:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that Lord Fraggon stares for a long time at the stage where the "cat" is. Then slowly raises his card "37".
[ 2014.06.16 04:10:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sends Erin a note that Lord Fraggon is starting to look unsteady.
[ 2014.06.16 04:10:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances back at her neocomm and gasps slightly to herself.
[ 2014.06.16 04:10:51 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote blinks, deciding to see if Ardishapur will bite. The actioneer asks for thirty eight
[ 2014.06.16 04:13:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that Ardisphapur looks deeply annoyed at Erin and states in a stentorian voice "38"
[ 2014.06.16 04:14:01 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote raises her card for forty
[ 2014.06.16 04:14:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sends Erin a note explaining her findings on a possible ulterior motive for Lord Ardisphaur.
[ 2014.06.16 04:15:01 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote glances up, reading the text. She half smiles
[ 2014.06.16 04:15:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that Ardishapur is giving Erin a look of loathing. he does not bid right away however, waiting for the auctioneer to request bids. When that is done, he raises his card and bids "41"
[ 2014.06.16 04:15:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote lets Erin know that Ardisphapur is now seeming very annoyed and slower to bid.
[ 2014.06.16 04:16:16 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote pauses, to see if Fraggon is going to bid. She does her best to look disinterested
[ 2014.06.16 04:16:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that Lord Fraggon now seems entirely disinterested.
[ 2014.06.16 04:17:36 ] Erin Savonarola > *"Forty one going once." Erin bids "Forty two."
[ 2014.06.16 04:18:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that Ardisphapur bids again after the auctioneer asks and not before "43"
[ 2014.06.16 04:18:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote lets Erin know Lord Fraggon seems to be 'out'
[ 2014.06.16 04:18:31 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote doesn't wait, bidding 44
[ 2014.06.16 04:19:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that Lord Ardisphapur's face turns beet red with a hate-filled glance at Erin, only bidding "45" after the 2nd request by the auctioneer.
[ 2014.06.16 04:19:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs and texts Erin "so close"
[ 2014.06.16 04:20:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote texts Erin 'I think he's at his breaking point. Try 47?"
[ 2014.06.16 04:20:50 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote takes a moment. "Forty seven-five."
[ 2014.06.16 04:22:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blinks as Lord Ardishapur slams down his card and rises, storming out of the gallery.
[ 2014.06.16 04:23:13 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote grins. She doesn't chuckle, but she wants to. The auctioneer says "Forty seven-five going once. Forty seven-five going twice."
[ 2014.06.16 04:25:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blinks as Lord Rigel bids 48.
[ 2014.06.16 04:26:21 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote bites the inside of her lip. She pinches the bridge of her nose "Forty nine."
[ 2014.06.16 04:27:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glares at Lord Rigel but quickly gets a more schooled expression on her face.
[ 2014.06.16 04:27:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that Lord Rigel smugly states "50"
[ 2014.06.16 04:28:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote texts Erin that she thinks he is just running up the bidding.
[ 2014.06.16 04:28:51 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote glances up. Of course he is, the basterd. "Fifty one."
[ 2014.06.16 04:29:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that Lord Rigel is bidding in only the minimum increments "52"
[ 2014.06.16 04:30:17 ] Erin Savonarola > "Fifty two-five"
[ 2014.06.16 04:31:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that Rigel bids "53" but is slowing down.
[ 2014.06.16 04:31:49 ] Erin Savonarola > "Fifty three-five."
[ 2014.06.16 04:33:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote notes that Lord Rigel casually walks out after giving Erin a greasy looking smile.
[ 2014.06.16 04:33:48 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote makes a note to return the favour sometimes.
[ 2014.06.16 04:34:17 ] Erin Savonarola > *The Auctioneer asks "Fifty three-five going once. Going twice."
[ 2014.06.16 04:35:05 ] Erin Savonarola > "Sold to bidder sixty nine."
[ 2014.06.16 04:36:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > **end for night**

Nova Carra - Erin's Suites
---------------------------------------------------------------

[ 2014.06.19 01:05:35 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote returns to Nova Carra, having paid cash for the slave and departed, though not before she took the opportunity to return lord Rigel's favour. Erin's staff has unloaded the slave and has her in a cage in a sitting room in the mansion
[ 2014.06.19 01:08:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at the slave silently.
[ 2014.06.19 01:09:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches slightly as she does.
[ 2014.06.19 01:12:01 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote has one of her slaves take off her cloak and takes a seat. "Well. Amy-that is your name, right, little cat? Amy?" the girl nods, timidly. "Do you understand what happened just now?" The cat nods again
[ 2014.06.19 01:12:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote studies her as if trying to decide what to make of her as she listens to Erin. She is not sitting but is standing by Erin.
[ 2014.06.19 01:12:56 ] Erin Savonarola > "Oh heavens, Lunarisse, take a seat."
[ 2014.06.19 01:13:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Erin and takes a seat on a chair near by, sitting on the edge with her legs crossed.
[ 2014.06.19 01:15:14 ] Erin Savonarola > "Of course you do." she smiles "Stermwinner's would have explained it to you. Though, just to be sure I understand, why don't you tell it to me."
[ 2014.06.19 01:16:10 ] Erin Savonarola > *"I, ummm, was sold to you?"
[ 2014.06.19 01:16:17 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote nods "Go on."
[ 2014.06.19 01:17:05 ] Erin Savonarola > *"I'm a slave?"
[ 2014.06.19 01:19:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rests her head on her hand as she watches.
[ 2014.06.19 01:20:00 ] Erin Savonarola > "Close enough. As of present, you are my slave and will act as my pet cat. Though, if you pull half of what an actual cat does, you will be punished. Jeffrah is my head of household and will explain the complete list of rules to you."
[ 2014.06.19 01:21:47 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote pauses "I want you to understand this completely, Amy. It is my right to do with you whatever I wish. I am not some Gallente dominatrix, I am an Amarrian Holder. Perform well and you will be treated well. Behave badly and you will be punished...
[ 2014.06.19 01:22:43 ] Erin Savonarola > "One of the men that was bidding on you, that I outbid, wanted to buy you specifically so he could kill you. Don't make me regret my purchase."
[ 2014.06.19 01:24:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks up as she continues to silently appraise Amy to see her reactions.
[ 2014.06.19 01:26:09 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote leans back and sips her wine. The cat nods, but seems to be at a loss for words. Chester walks over and undoes the cage
[ 2014.06.19 01:29:46 ] Erin Savonarola > *The catgirl crawls out and takes a look around. "I had a cat with me. A real cat. Do you know where she is?"
[ 2014.06.19 01:30:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote ever so slightly moves to the edge of her seat but doesn't get up.
[ 2014.06.19 01:30:39 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote blinks "Ah. I do not. She was not listed with the auction."
[ 2014.06.19 01:31:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers to Erin "Cats do prefer having one of their kind around.. maybe it might help.. " *pauses as if deciding what to call her* "Amy adjust"
[ 2014.06.19 01:31:56 ] Erin Savonarola > *The catgirl starts to sniffle.
[ 2014.06.19 01:35:27 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote nods to Luna. "I agree." She turns to the slave "You brought a cat with you from the Federation?" Amy nods "and somewhere along the way you were seperated?" she nods again, sniffing back tears
[ 2014.06.19 01:37:22 ] Erin Savonarola > "Lunarisse. Perhaps you could track down this animal?"
[ 2014.06.19 01:37:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns slightly but before saying she will try asks Amy "Do you remember where you were separated? On a ship, at the station itself?"
[ 2014.06.19 01:39:32 ] Erin Savonarola > *"The station. I don't know which one. I've been asking about it everywhere I go, but no one will tell me." she bawls
[ 2014.06.19 01:40:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs and says to Erin "this will be looking for a needle in a haystack... what's a haystack anyway?"
[ 2014.06.19 01:40:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well... hmm
[ 2014.06.19 01:40:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Amy.. calm down.
[ 2014.06.19 01:40:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Do you remember the name of the ship that took you to our space?
[ 2014.06.19 01:42:01 ] Erin Savonarola > "Something to do with wheat, I think." She sighs and stands, going over to Amy to pet the girl gently on her hair. Amy, pointedly, is still not wearing clothing. "That, I do know. The Human Rights and Equality for All. Silly Gallente ship names."
[ 2014.06.19 01:42:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers "Ironic"
[ 2014.06.19 01:43:33 ] Erin Savonarola > "They were picked up by TES St. Heradus. The details are in her file." she points to a stack of papers that are on a table with an official looking seal on the folder
[ 2014.06.19 01:43:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.06.19 01:44:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well.. that gives me something to go on.
[ 2014.06.19 01:44:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Amy "What did your cat look like?"
[ 2014.06.19 01:45:07 ] Erin Savonarola > *"He was white. Named Mister Tiggels."
[ 2014.06.19 01:45:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly and pulls out her datapad.
[ 2014.06.19 01:45:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters information into it as she tells Erin "No promises, But that;'s enough for me to try"
[ 2014.06.19 01:46:11 ] Erin Savonarola > "I have faith in your abilities, my dear."
[ 2014.06.19 01:48:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs as she looks at Amy "No promises, But I will try, I am a trader and I run into a lot of ships. I will ask around for you."
[ 2014.06.19 01:48:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives her a stern glance "behave for Erin in return ok?"
[ 2014.06.19 01:48:37 ] Erin Savonarola > *The catgirl smiles weakly and pushes her head into Erin's hand. She nods quickly "Okay"
[ 2014.06.19 01:49:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote watches silently still looking a little non-plussed but sighs as she tells Erin "Well that's that., I'll give a shot. I've been wanting to run to Gallente space so i can check the spacelines along the way"
[ 2014.06.19 01:51:08 ] Erin Savonarola > *"The soldiers took him." she says softly
[ 2014.06.19 01:51:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Empire soldiers I assume?
[ 2014.06.19 01:51:43 ] Erin Savonarola > *The cat nods*
[ 2014.06.19 01:52:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says to herself "Ok.. well that's a help. it would have been at station when the ship was docked and being inspected or unloaded."
[ 2014.06.19 01:54:31 ] Erin Savonarola > "They were captured for a border violation."
[ 2014.06.19 01:56:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Ah. Yes. Some sort of human rights group?
[ 2014.06.19 01:57:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well I can review the news articles to get the location, that's easy enough,.
[ 2014.06.19 01:59:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles faintly.
[ 2014.06.19 01:59:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Where is she.. going to sleep Erin?
[ 2014.06.19 01:59:22 ] Erin Savonarola > "Yes. They were protesting slavery." Erin giggles
[ 2014.06.19 01:59:30 ] Erin Savonarola > "Uh. I ahve not thought about that."
[ 2014.06.19 02:00:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches slightly "well.. cats like.. umm.. a sunny spot. Do you have any rooms with window seats?"
[ 2014.06.19 02:00:55 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote laughs "I have lots of windows. Maybe she could sleep in your suites?"
[ 2014.06.19 02:01:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well.. I am not sure yet if I am allergic to it.. erm I mean her.
[ 2014.06.19 02:02:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs.
[ 2014.06.19 02:02:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Very well...
[ 2014.06.19 02:03:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I am hardly here as it is. She can have the room overlooking the gardens"
[ 2014.06.19 02:03:22 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote giggles. "Naw. I won't do that. I was just teasing."
[ 2014.06.19 02:05:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods with a slight frown, not giggling "Erin.. I'd keep her watched. I am not sure how she will adjust to this"
[ 2014.06.19 02:05:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I will try to find her cat for her."
[ 2014.06.19 02:06:26 ] Erin Savonarola > *the cat goves over and gives Luna's legs a hug "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you."
[ 2014.06.19 02:07:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote's nose wiggles slightly but she does not sneeze.
[ 2014.06.19 02:08:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote absent mindly pats Amy on the head as if she were an actual cat.
[ 2014.06.19 02:08:25 ] Erin Savonarola > *Amy purrs*
[ 2014.06.19 02:08:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote starts slightly as she realizes what she did.
[ 2014.06.19 02:09:54 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote smiles wide.
[ 2014.06.19 02:10:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Right then, Well Erin, this has been an educational experience.. thank you for taking me with you."
[ 2014.06.19 02:10:47 ] Erin Savonarola > "Yes. I hope you had a good time, at least. Got to see how the upper class live."
[ 2014.06.19 02:11:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers "Yes.. that was quite interesting" with an odd tone of voice, almost longing but it passes.
[ 2014.06.19 02:11:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well.. this working class girl now has to get to her Procurer. I have a shipment I need to make. and I am going to be visiting Maria"
[ 2014.06.19 02:12:17 ] Erin Savonarola > "Alright. Well. Come to visit soon."

[ 2014.07.03 02:07:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters Nova Cerra holding a fuzzy white cat. Her face is flushed and puffy.
[ 2014.07.03 02:09:13 ] Erin Savonarola > *Luna is escorted by Erin's staff to the contessa's sitting room where she's laying on a couch, reading a book and listening to some music, something light.
[ 2014.07.03 02:09:36 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote glances up "Lunarisse. Hello, my dear."
[ 2014.07.03 02:09:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters the room still holding the cat and says "Umm.. Hi Erin *sniffs* I think I found Mr. Tiggles..."
[ 2014.07.03 02:11:10 ] Erin Savonarola > "Oh good. I was about ready to have her vocal cords removed if she asked one more time." It's not entirely clear if she's joking
[ 2014.07.03 02:12:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twitches "Umm.. can.. I put this thing down?"
[ 2014.07.03 02:13:35 ] Erin Savonarola > "Sure. It won't potty on my carpet, will it? Else I might have a new pair of gloves made."
[ 2014.07.03 02:14:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote simply let's go, dropping the cat.
[ 2014.07.03 02:14:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh... at least it landed on its feet.
[ 2014.07.03 02:14:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote takes a hankerchief out and blows her nose.
[ 2014.07.03 02:16:09 ] Erin Savonarola > "Allergic to that one, I see." Bella brings Luna some wine at Erin's motion. "There, let's get you away from it now."
[ 2014.07.03 02:18:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "thanks Erin" and plops down on a couch.
[ 2014.07.03 02:19:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > it wasn't too hard to find,.. that fat cat must have been totally pampered.
[ 2014.07.03 02:19:04 ] Erin Savonarola > "I'll call the cat. I am sure she will want to thank you in person."
[ 2014.07.03 02:19:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > It was desperate for food and water and his hair was tangled.
[ 2014.07.03 02:19:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I think it couldn't hunt a station furrier if its life depended on it.
[ 2014.07.03 02:20:05 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote chuckles and has Chester go get the cat "Wow. That's quite pathetic."
[ 2014.07.03 02:20:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote wrinkles her nose, still sniffling a little bit.
[ 2014.07.03 02:20:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Give me a reliable hunting dog any day over that beast"
[ 2014.07.03 02:21:36 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote chuckles "I didn't know you had such a hatred for cats."
[ 2014.07.03 02:22:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I am fine with a good tom cat that can earn his keep. But a domesticated cat is worse than a dog.
[ 2014.07.03 02:24:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sits quietly, calming herself.
[ 2014.07.03 02:24:21 ] Erin Savonarola > "I suppose." It does take long before Amy comes in, wearing minimal clothing and yells "Mister Tiggles!" the slave goes to pick up her cat and holds it close
[ 2014.07.03 02:26:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote watches quietly with a slight quirk of her lips.
[ 2014.07.03 02:30:04 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote smirks "Good, now no more asking me, okay?" The catgirl nods distractedly as she purrs to her own cat. Erin turns to Luna "Maybe I should not have sent you to find it."
[ 2014.07.03 02:31:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs.
[ 2014.07.03 02:32:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Stupid thing would have died.. and it will make Amy happer and more content which is good for her service to you. "
[ 2014.07.03 02:32:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "She just got it back. It will pass."
[ 2014.07.03 02:35:50 ] Erin Savonarola > "I suppose." She looks over "Slave. Thank Mrs. Daphiti." Amy stops for a moment and trots over to Luna, with Mr. Tiggles still in hand. She kneels and puts her head on Luna's lap "Thank you, Mrs. Daphiti."
[ 2014.07.03 02:36:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers "Tis, nothing, Thank Erin for asking me to find her for you." *gives Amy a meaningful glance*
[ 2014.07.03 02:38:58 ] Erin Savonarola > *Amy nods and goes over to Erin, doing something similar. Erin strokes the girl's hair a few times. "The pet is a privilege, if you misbehave, I will take it away."
[ 2014.07.03 02:40:20 ] Erin Savonarola > *Amy nods quickly "I'll be good."
[ 2014.07.03 02:41:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly.
[ 2014.07.03 02:42:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Erin, may I bring up business now?"
[ 2014.07.03 02:43:02 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote smiles at Luna, still petting Amy's head "Of course, with slaves, everything is a privilege." She nods "Of course."
[ 2014.07.03 02:43:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I have a shipment of those new fashions that came out for Amarr women and I would like to see if there is a market in Gallente space for them."
[ 2014.07.03 02:44:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Do you still have any contacts in that space?"
[ 2014.07.03 02:46:13 ] Erin Savonarola > "Not nearly as many as I had before the war started. Most were diplomatic, though, not fashion."
[ 2014.07.03 02:46:40 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods, pondering.
[ 2014.07.03 02:47:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says carefully "I am sure you must have shopped when you were there.. do you think any of the boutiques you went to might remember you?"
[ 2014.07.03 02:48:53 ] Erin Savonarola > "Oh yes. One or two."
[ 2014.07.03 02:49:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sits for a few moments.
[ 2014.07.03 02:49:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Umm.. would you like to go back, shop.. and maybe introduce me?"
[ 2014.07.03 02:51:25 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote brightens up "I'd love to."
[ 2014.07.03 02:52:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles happily "Terrific! It will take me a few days to arrange for the shipment.. and umm.. I am sure you have affairs of state to sort out. Just let me know when your schedule frees up."
[ 2014.07.03 02:53:41 ] Erin Savonarola > "This weekend?"
[ 2014.07.03 02:54:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Perhaps Monday evening. I will have to see when the seamstresses are finished.

[ 2014.07.03 02:54:47 ] Erin Savonarola > "Do you have samples of the items to show? Concept art at least?"
[ 2014.07.03 02:55:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles and stands up and twirls.
[ 2014.07.03 02:55:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blushes and takes a seat.
[ 2014.07.03 02:55:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But Yes, I do have pictures/art."
[ 2014.07.03 02:55:37 ] Erin Savonarola > ((what is luna wearing!))
[ 2014.07.03 02:55:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > ((her Concord Picture))
[ 2014.07.03 02:56:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > ((the new black and gold dress))
[ 2014.07.03 02:57:36 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, that might work in the Fed, but they would likely not wear the undershirt."
[ 2014.07.03 02:57:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blushes.
[ 2014.07.03 02:58:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I am sure you are right! But there is a large Amarr ex-pat community there now I think.
[ 2014.07.03 02:58:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > The Muck Raker said so.
[ 2014.07.03 02:58:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says that with all seriousness.
[ 2014.07.03 03:00:33 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, I do know there are some Amarr there. Mostly unorthodox."
[ 2014.07.03 03:01:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Perhaps.. in their hearts they cannot deny their culture. Perhaps the clothes might remind them of proper propriety."
[ 2014.07.03 03:02:21 ] Erin Savonarola > "I prefer string bikini's and sheer tight fitting tops myself."
[ 2014.07.03 03:03:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote begins to say something in a strained voice then simply lets out a gurgle.
[ 2014.07.03 03:03:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods.
[ 2014.07.03 03:04:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh umm... did any more books come in while I was away? I was expecting a few more boxes"
[ 2014.07.03 03:05:09 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote giggles and glances down at Amy. "She usually goes around naked, this one. I make her put on clothes for guests."
[ 2014.07.03 03:05:52 ] Erin Savonarola > "Yes, I think there are a few more boxes in your suites."
[ 2014.07.03 03:06:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles happily "Then I will stay the night before heading to Nahyeen to deal with the garments"
[ 2014.07.03 03:07:03 ] Erin Savonarola > "Wonderful. I'll find another place to put Amy."
[ 2014.07.03 03:07:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Thanks. The dander from mr. Tiggles would get into all my books"
[ 2014.07.03 03:08:40 ] Erin Savonarola > "Yes, no cats in your suites. Well, real cats"
[ 2014.07.03 03:10:50 ] Erin Savonarola > "Have you thought of which slave you wanted to attend you while you're here?"
[ 2014.07.03 03:11:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I would prefer a female one.
[ 2014.07.03 03:17:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles primly.
[ 2014.07.03 03:18:29 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, what about Briseis? She's the True Amarr girl, you may have seen her a few times. Though, I mean, are you sure you don't want a male?" she winks "Other men than Brutors. Ni-Kunni and the like."
[ 2014.07.03 03:19:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns slightly pink at Erin's wink and says "I am sure."
[ 2014.07.03 03:19:11 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *firmly*
[ 2014.07.03 03:20:39 ] Erin Savonarola > "Well, you know, if you ever decide to try one for an evening, let me know. Ohhh, a Gallente man. They know how to use their tongue."
[ 2014.07.03 03:21:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says under her breath "Oh God" and to Erin "Ummm... I am sure."
[ 2014.07.03 03:22:29 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote laughs madly as she teases her friend."
[ 2014.07.03 03:24:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote stretches and then says, still slightly pink, "Good night Erin. I'll see you in the morning. Briseis would be lovely.'
[ 2014.07.03 03:25:28 ] Erin Savonarola > "Alright my dear. Or, you know, you could sleep with me tonight." she deadpans
[ 2014.07.03 03:26:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives a slight smirk and begins to go then pauses.
[ 2014.07.03 03:26:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Umm Erin... one of my book boxes was open. Do you know if anyone peeked into it?"
[ 2014.07.03 03:27:17 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote frowns "No one should have." She looks at Amy who shakes her head
[ 2014.07.03 03:27:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods and says with a slightly relieved tone of voice "must have come loose during shipping"
[ 2014.07.03 03:27:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Good night Erin!
[ 2014.07.03 03:28:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote curtseys to Erin.
[ 2014.07.03 03:28:16 ] Erin Savonarola > /emote makes a mental note to check out the books
[ 2014.07.03 03:28:23 ] Erin Savonarola > "Night my dear."
