I think one us could do it.

( One is more suited, the one in the heels. )

How about I see if I can wake up our receptionist and you pay Natalie or Nadia ( whatever her name is. ) a morning visit. Maybe she has more information she doesn't know she has. Having the same mother stay here at different times is a big coincidence. Maybe there are others. Like, where are her parents?

[phonetically]

I guess Sam's not so bad.

( Or as bad. )

[cowman]

( "She'll do it once or twice in a month," he jibes. )

You two are a beautiful example. You greatly remind me of another couple I know.

( Well, before things took a turn. They were couple goals for as long as he could remember. But one of them was locked to Purgatory and the other had a destiny of her own. )

[praevaricatio]

Just like - fine. Right. The invitation.

( "I hear more voices," he calls out again. "You know, your breakfast is getting cold," he calls out again.

The door opens to a great room, a long table before them with place settings for four, enough for four, and candles lit in the middle of the table.

No Barnet, though. )

( A nurse in his twenties looks over, clipboard in hand as he moves to the window. an (8) has him charmed for sure. He checks his watch for a second, looks behind him, but thinks he has enough time. Also, Cooper, you're cute! )

Sure! Yeah. Let me --

( He disappears behind one of the doors and emerges from the one close to Cooper's. )

How can I help?

[slavophile]

( Comb away. )

So, is she an enemy witch or a wildcard witch.

[interminably]

( Ah, Chicago. He does have fond memories. )

And what of Marcel? I confess I didn't keep up like I should with you two. Then again, who could. You're on, you're off, he proposes, you're back in New Orleans.

[uniquelyvulnerable]

So you keep telling me. I've never been much good at it. But, for Hope, I should make the effort. ( He did like notes. ) How do you think she would receive a handwritten letter?

[tramplemain]

Friends in high places.

( But, he doesn't give anything away, just smiles, a bit impressed. )

[illtempered]

( Well, she's definitely ready. )

Yeah, lets.

( Her holds her up, gripping just as tight, helping her past some people milling about. They successfully get Alan's and a few other's attention on them as he leads her to an empty seat. )

[David raises an eyebrow as he makes his way inside, looking over the setup.]

Wish we had known in advance.

[His tone is dry and he slides his hands in his pockets.]

We already ate.

[tornadoinheels]

Oh?

[She smiles at that.]

I hope they're very happy. Or they were?

[It's hard to say when your friend is very, very old.]

[beanchaointe]

Allison really likes him. So she gets to keep him for now.

[But if he screws up, they'll reevaluate.]

He is also a smidge more reasonable.

[braveandstupid]

[She nods in agreement.]

Sounds good. Text me if you manage to find anything.

[And she will venture out the vending machine, trying to see if Nadia happens to be out and about (18).]

[positiveinfluence]

So I'm trying to get to Keystone City and my phone decided now was the time to head into the great beyond. So, I figured people found their way around before Google Maps, right?

[Look at him, trying to be all cute and capable but failing terribly. He pulls out the map from his car.]

I think I got a little turned around. I'd understand if you're too busy, but if you could just help me get back on track?

[blackstarred]

Hard to say. Looks like she was definitely using Monroe for her own ends.

[Zari looks up from the keyboard she's working on before tipping her head to the side. "If she was just using this Monroe person, are you sure Maura is her actual name?"]

[likeaweapon]

I love Marcel. I do. But I don't think we were ever on the same page or wanting the same things.

[She shakes her head.]

I think he more wanted me to have what I wanted, than actually wanted the same things I did. Does that make sense?

[enjoythe_ride]

[She tips her head to the side as she considers. On the one hand, she's an eighteen year-old, and handwritten things have gone quite to the wayside, but coming from Elijah, it may have it's charm.]

I think she would appreciate the effort?

[transientem]

[Shakily she lowers herself down into the chair, looking a bit pained. She wants to be the most pathetic person in the room. She wants to make them feel threatened, and hopefully they'll be curious enough to come offer up some information.

Hopefully she's selling it (14).]

[regentem]

He does. We've had a hard time getting ahold of him, though. Given the situation right now, you must understand why we're concerned.

[Time to test and see how much he knows about the hunter situation.]

[tramplemain]

( Intrigued enough, Katherine is on bored, heading down the stairs. There is no recreation of vending machine desperation, but with an 18 she at least remembers which door is Natalie's. )

[phonetically]

... He and Allison... ?

( Is everyone getting together without him? )

[cowman]

They were. Deliriously. But, as things do, they did fall apart. They were engaged for some time.

( But some things don't last forever. )

[praevaricatio]

( He makes an entrance, sweeping in from the left between two curtains, suit and tales. Entirely overdressed for a breakfast rendezvous.

"I was the first male in the Colony line to gain the sight," he says, grandiose, clearly talking to hear himself talk. "Of course, gifts like these are never enough. I could not gamble. I could not read your mind like some of us. I did not know which three witches were sent in search of me, but that there were three." He sighs. "And I did not see you eating without me. The Double T Diner really is one of a kind."

But, whatever.

"Two of you are infamous. I am sorry, that the woman has escaped me." He never did pay close attention. "Three does seem like overkill,".

He is ONE man. )

[tramplemain]

Yeah, I've heard something like that...

( He is succeeding with aplomb. )

You know, I don't -- have a physical map on me?
