Zheng kisses Vince on the cheek, Kylie blushes, her spirals a cascade of flush

and they soon arrive at Earth Runes! News of new blood has gotten out, and Delores is happy to take it from here!

He introduces them with a flourish, "M'Kitten Zing, and Lapidary Lazuli." Daringly running his fingers through the ends of her blue hair.

"That's Zheng, I'm Kyle. We're with the Pi Rho Rho Soroirty?"

"Prrrrr" Zing smiles and looks about "It's a palace like you see on tiny houses"

"Is the Lioness still lounging atop her Oak?"

"I promised my lady a dictionary. I would not, for the world, make her blue."

"Well, thank you, Vince, this is.. quite the gift from the dreaming" Dellores says "Yes, the baroness is still with the baron. I'm stewardess here ladies, and happy to assist you. Welcome to your true selves"

"Ah, the burning rose of love."

"Pyro Rose Sorority, their blossoms blaze the brightest."

"So what the hell happened to us? " Kylie asks

He opens his mouth, then shuts it. "May I entrust you to the lady Stewardess? She is a mighty force, and her words are as smooth as buttermilk."

"Delores, these kittens are under my wing. I have promised them my paw to guide them, but perhaps you may assist?"

Zheng whispers to Kylie "I think he's saying she's head of Housing and tuition, don't piss her off."

Delores looks at Vince and pats his arm "A sorority house mm?" A nod "Of course, Vince. I'll help them out"

He presses her hand onto his arm and leans in to smooch her on the cheek. "Just so!"

"Do keep me abreast of the situation. Of course, I AM already familiar." Rakishly.

"of course" Delores says "And to answer your question ladies... " Delores has done this before, no less with the Baroness herself

Vince lingers a moment longer, to make sure that they seem comfortable.

Kyle worries but once Delores explains her enchanted friends will be fine, she settles. Zheng? She rubbernecks at the hold time, eager to exploe this new world. They'll both be fine

He extracts a promise that they'll seek him out soon, and retreats to let Delores work her magic. And to get a shower.

"Careful, the showers have been acting up" Delores calls after "We have plumbers looking into it"

"Something wrong with the pressure..sort of" she says

And indeed, later in his bathroom, his showerhead will begin to sing Billy Joel's song "Pressure". Other report getting Queen's 'Under pressure' and some are getting "Singing in the rain" ala Sinatra or even the lesser known Becky G "Shower"

Vince is a little surprised, but sings along with gusto. Ah, to be clean... the first step in getting delightfully mussed once more.

He uses the mane and tail shampoo to get his hair into it's usual glorious shine

Freshly coiffured, he seeks out any gossip to be had now that Samhain recovery is underway. When it comes to trysts, he is curious as any cat... or boggan.

A sniff. Sniff sniff. He smells... abs? Nice ones, and unwrapped. And heads that direction.

Indeed, there's a scent of corn and muscle

He's pretty sure this scent is pure organic goodness

He hunts!

And finds as he goes off..anhywhere

or even anywhere
