Jessica doesn't hold the eye-roll back. "I mean, Duff, take -care- of them."

And Tomas is riding it! Yahoooooo! 🐎

"Fine fine..." He takes Jessica's hand "For you, only for you, will I do this."

She pauses. "Thank you, Duff." And she means it.

"As they say down here, De Nada" Duff says looking her over "For you, lover. "

Indeed, the others of Fenix are coming in.

She squeezes his hand, "Thanks." Softly.

A soft kiss on her lips, brief "go , herd your kittens. I promise to hold off on scattering toy mice for a little while at least"

Another squeeze. "We get this taken care of, let's spend some time together, one on one, ok?" And with that standing for a promise, she heads off to organize things. "Sayda, would you come with me? Feel free to ask questions; I know you must have a lot."

"Sure... but I have the feeling I'm forgetting something"

Jessica nods. "Not surprising... maybe even a feeling that you're remembering strange things? Things that feel like they didn't happen to you, but you know they did somehow? Diego, good to see you. Can you help the guy there with the broken leg? Oh, hello Necropsis. Thank you for that assist before."

"On it, " Diego says "At last, a head quarters for the resistance"

"Might already be spoken for, Diego..."

Necropsis says "Pigs deserve to be used, BT. So, this new place, where's the bordello wing?"

"These are your friends?" Sayda says

"For want of a better word, yes. Some of us, the Fae, takes some getting used to."

"Diego is a satyr, a Dream of passion. Necropsis is a pooka, a Dream of.. um... the Trickster is a pretty good model."

"And I am a clurichaun a dream of...?"

"Um. Well. Leprechauns. Do you know them?"

"Always after me lucky charms???"

"I don't know, are you?" Just the slightest bit of humor from the big blue woman.

"Th' FUCK, B???" Armed with a borrowed BlunderBassoon and an armored baby carrier on her back, Tweak makes her way into the building.

"No" A crossed arms then.. the girl looks over to see Tweak "Evil clown" and hides behind the troll

"Bitch-let, you ain' seen no evil, yet." Scowling, she looks at the various fae in the room.

The troll protects the little one. "Hello Tweak. Sayda, this is Tweak. She's a nocker, a Dream of invention, and the best crafter in the fief."

"And I fuckin' late to th' party cuz somebody done decided th' right way to celebrate a dream dance be to shit her pants, royally."

"Hello, Tweak"

"I'm sure Shuri didn't do it on purpose, Tweak."

Sayda says cuatiously

"Plus, I hadda finish her battle gear." Shuri gurgle happily from behind her protective goggles in her padded armored carrier.

Shuri draws the 8 year old's attention "Oh, she's cute"

"So..." She looks around the hold. "This place be awright."

Jess is wounded up a bit, cuts and bruises. Others got worse.

It doesn't seem to be that techno suited, part aztec part arena.. maybe it would lend itself to golem robo bottles

Then a sneer. "Not much in th' way of a workshop, though, huh?"

"But the next one was ours, that waws the bargain? " Symond says

"A voicee told me it was part mine" Sayda says

"The next suitable one be ours. That be th' words of the deal...." She looks skeptically about.

Dreams of competition but also violence and brutality and glory. Not quite ideal for a nocker consortium, and Symond sighs, though she likes the aztec touchs

"Could be good for weapons tests...demo battles..." She mutters as she pokes about near the 'Fire.

"Easy there, Tweak. The 'Fire is in contest. Leave it be for now."

"Jus' lookin', yer Blueness, chill yer ass."

Shuri, on Tweak's back, waves a hand as she faces B...or was that a baby version of a rude gesture?

The fire is blue, unclaimed.. and many a changeling eyes it with curiosity, or hunger

Duff says "Tweak, got any spare chimerical bullets on you? I've been asked to guard the place and folks might gripe about mortal ammo"

She eyes Duff suspiciously, then glances to Jessica.

She nods.

Shard glances at Tweak "I'm Shard. " the dark skinned troll warrior says "The Hold is being discussed, but I'll ask you not to muck with my dreamers"

"Care of the Balefire will be discussed once we have these folks taken care of." And it seems that time is rapidly approaching.

"Your dreamers, huh? They been here before the mighty kaboom?"
