"I can do that. So - where in Koreatown? There a hold?"

"Ah.. don't growl at me for steroytping?" A beat "I know little about Hsien... but the map should be at this store that sells knick knacks "

Symon has crept up to listen in. "Aren't those the Fae that think they're gods?"

"Gotcha. Koreatown. knick knack store. Hsien."

"Tell Vali I said this."

He shows Dagmar a finger.

"Hsein think they have a direct line to the heavens... but actually there is a kith or two that are.. morelike us so.. you'll meet them"

"Uh. Symon has some opinions on all this."

"Symon? Opinions?Say it's not so"

"That's my opinion on the last leg. This one will be different." His whisper says it had better be.

"There are other manikins but only one Dr. Lolly"

"Vali says that this really is for something real, not just to run us all over.."

"If it turns out it isn't, I'll just tell Ann Marie about our fun house experience and let her talk to him about it." He says, with a smile that is dark and evil enough to belong if not NEAR the Funhouse, at least adjacent.

"Oh... there was something I was... supposed to remember. Olgar. And an Outpost?" He looks annoyed. "Ask Vali to tell Olgar... that's going to sound stupid. Something about an Outpost."

"Hastien, yeah."

"It had something to do with Dry Tears... but I don't remember what. Does that ever get less annoying?"

"Okay. I'll look into Hastein or Olgar will"

He nods, which isn't helpful over the phone, but looks to Dagmar. "Is there a trod at Firnost that will take us there?"

When that is passed on, "New Agengard.. just mind your manners"

"Ohhhhhh... the Eiluned.."

"Yes. And she's like family to me so whatever you think of her , manners" he says "that said you might be able to just walk on through and hit Korea town"

"I know, manners. She's just, like... really sidhe-sidhe, you know?"

"She also bears burdens deeper than any of the rest of us will ever know. " A breath "yes, she's very sidhe. "

"I can be polite."

"I know.. I know I just.. she's family to me. I think you know whwat i mean when I say that"

"I do."

"Thanks. Anything else before I hang up?"

"Keep an eye on my family?"

"Can and Will do." He says "I'm gonna teach CJ how to click his tongue and see if it drives your mom nuts"

Siiiigh.

"And you might get caught in the clickfire" He says "Later you two. I Hope the next trips are less mind screwy"

"Sure. Night Vali"

"Night" And he hangs up

Phone away. "Okay, magic glove food! Let's see how it rates."

(It shall prove below Rivervale standards, alas. But fine.)

He thinks that what he found under the counter (literally, sniffed it out) is fine as well! And even eats it a few feet away. Social distancing is a must when dining with sluagh. Lest they be disgusted by your fresh and hearty fare.

Thanks to Sylvi stories, room keys are acquired.

SEPARATE room keys.

He gives the gloves a glare and they do a “shrug” motion.

It might take a while, but Dagmar does get some sleep.

And below... two female sidhe part.. sigh , and then one says "Did somebody say something?" And looks about the now empty room
