"Yes, when I felt like I was...banished there it was.. a blow. It wasn't meant that way and we straightened it out. Then I got knighted and I was overjoyed but... some think I should have sworn to the Baroness there. And I LIKE her, i would have been an honor, but I just felt this pang of dread that Rivervale would no longer be my home port." A sigh "Some fearless Fiona explorer eh?"

“Banished?!”

"FELT like I was banished, not actually"

“Ohhh. II get that, actually. Sounds like how I felt about San Fran… not the same, of course, but I think I understand.”

"Yeah," A lean on her just a litle "See, we get each other..most of the time"

“Should we head back? I just realized… I’m not wearing pants.” A grin, it didn't bother HER, but…

"Oh my god" She laughs "Yeah, let's get you back . "

“Can we fly back? I’m riding a bit high on glamour from yesterday. And you make an appointment awfully cute bird.”

"You want me to turn us into birds? " A brow

At which point there's a text from Sylvi (sent to the entire list who got the initial invitation) TXT: AWESOME work last night, everybody! Now we've got to get to work. If you want a say, join us back at the place at (names a time)

"She's such a bossy britches but I missed her" A smile

“We’d get back faster…” Piper grins. “Or I can race you.”

"Ought to turnn you into a snail then slow walk ahead of you" A grin. "Come on, love " She kisses her and suddenly, two birds are in the air.

Texts come over... different folks coming over

Sylvi asks others who are still there to help her set up the chairs and tables to facilitate a meeting.

Swoop and stutter, but quickly picking it up, two finches dance through the air before flitting and flirting back to the hold.

She takes one chair and puts it at the front of the group...and then up on the stage platform...then back on the floor...uncertain.

Finally she gets a determined expression and puts the chair on the platform...and then puts another chair up next to it.

Two birds transform into troll and satyr respectively

"Tadaa" Siv says

"Where are your pants?" Dirk asks

"I’m covered, you dork.” She fetches her shorts anyways.

Maybe feeling a bit brave with Siv around.

Dirk growls a bit "I vote we get to bite folks whenn they annoy us"

"Nope," Sylvi easily negates that.

"Damn" Dirk grumbles

"Everybody grab a seat, okay? More folks might be showing up, but we'll get started."

“What’s up, Sylvi?” Changing the subject!

She sits in one of the seats on the platform.

Piper heads to a chair as well, something near the back.

"Piper," Sylvi says. "This one's for you," she gestures to the other chair.

Basil and Zane plop down, the former saying "See, told you you shouldn't head to dark gate yet"

Dagmar... knocks.

“Uhm.” She looks a bit perplexed, then pink cheeked. Running her hands through her untidy curls, She takes The chair perching a bit on the edge of the seat. A whisper to Sylvi, “this isn't aN intervention is it?”

Lucia opens the door for Daggmar "Hey you. Come on in"

Sylvi laughs, "No! But whatever we agree about down-here needs to be okay with what you're doing upstairs."

"You have more say in this than most other people."

"Hey Lucia."

“Ohhhh.” She nods

LUcia says "Come on in. I brought sodas in a cooler for us all. I know there's at least two Doctor peppers"

"I can carry it if... or it's already there... uh.." Blush-shrug.

Sylvi sees Dagmar at the door and waves, smiling brightly!

"I got it.. but if you wantt to take it, happy for the help"

"Come on, grab a seat."

Rikki pops down "So, meet the old boss, same as the new boss?"

Quiet scowl.

Sylvi tilts her head at Rikki. "That's not the goal. This isn't a Lodge. It's not going to be organized like one. And it's not a noble hold, either. What it is, we figure out. We decide. I'm freeholder, so I get final say, but I want to discuss it with all."

Dagmar did haul down the cooler, and moves around chairs if needed.

Lucia says quietly "Thanks, Dagmar. Grab a Dr. Pepper for yourself before Dirk bites it"

"Yeah, thanks."
