I thought today I would share with you all a quote from my day to day calendar.

"Set the bar low. Then sit back and watch people trip over it!" - Grumpy Catt

( Hyde without a Jekyll Jekyll1886 Here we are! Sorry for the wait! ;w; I would've reposted on the other page but it had three days left and I didn't the rp to suddenly close again after just a few days. Let's get back at it shall we! )

The Fox:

" Well, let's see... "

Malemi sat up with stretch of his claws.

" The first rumor I heard was that Orin was planning to usurp Khoros. You never saw Khoros did you?

Ah, well. Doesn't matter now. "

He licked his teeth.

" Point is, Orin was his guard of sorts, keeping every beast in check and making sure they followed Khoros's law. He seemed displeased with the whole affair, so many thought he'd gut Khoros and take over Through.

Heh... "

The cat laughed softly.

" Guess I beat him to it. "

A sniff.

" Anyways, I heard another rumor, that Orin had seen something. I don't know everything about it, but apparently the Orin we know was not the same Orin Through knew. He was...more solitary...more maniacal...bloodsick.... "

The word bloodsick was spoken with a air of disgust and avoidance.

" I wasn't in Through when the change supposedly happened, so I can't say much more on that.

I think the last real rumor that I can think of is that Orin may have been owned at some point...Maybe even now. "

Malemi looked to Emerson.

" Some think that he's hiding something or someone who controls him, like he controls Callum. It's sounds far fetched though. The only creature that comes close is Kei, but she is merely his greater, nothing more. "

He snorted.

" That's all there is to say. There are others, but those three are whispered all throughout Through. "

Hyde Without A Jekyll:

Sterling took in the rumors quietly, turning them over in his head.

"Khoros, Kei, and Errack," he studied the window for a moment, "do they have similar rumors floating around Through?"

A plan was beginning to formulate in his mind, they would need to speak with Callum again.

The Fox:

" Yes. At least Kei And Errack did.

Errack is a saint among Through. Beasts like to talk about his time before serving under Khoros and hoped that he would run off Orin at some point. It's said that he always bested Orin in combat and that's why they never interact. "

Malemi thought for a bit regarding Kei, fur fluffed in quiet fear.

" Kei...

Kei is not spoken of lightly. She's...she's a monster, a-a soul hunter...

She is thought to rival the Ancients in power...t-that's why she remains hidden in Through...and w-w-when she comes out to hunt.......H-have merc-c-cy...! "

He shook his fur with a whimper.

" I don't want to talk about her anymore... "

At Malemi's whimper, Emerson turned back to look at the shaken cat. Sterling was willing to bet something had happened between Kei and Malemi but he opted not to press it further.

He nodded in silent understanding at the cat's request and left it hang in the air for a moment.

"Any rumors about Errack having been owned, because that feather brain in a cage would be a sight to see!" A small smirk tugged at the corners of his mouth as he joked in an attempt to lighten the mood.

" I wish. "

A weak chuckle came from the cat.

" It would explain how he even tolerated Khoros. "

((iiCountess_Magna The other page timed out, so I've reposted our roleplay here. It's Helen's turn.))

iiCountess_Magna Jekyll1886 • 4 days ago

"I'm familiar with that. My brother and I used to do some experiments in the kitchen,and then we lost a house." she laughed softly. "isn't that pretty."

"sure. I'd uh...come here sometime."

Jekyll1886 iiCountess_Magna • 3 days ago

"We very nearly lost the kitchen once," Lewis admitted. "Sorry to hear about your house, though," he sympathized.

"There are three meals a day here at the Society--breakfast, luncheon, and dinner--and often afternoon tea as well. Feel free to eat them wherever you like. Most lodgers take their meals here or in the dining hall, though some simply take them to their rooms. I'm fond of having tea in the garden, myself."

He proceeded to show Alexandra the nearby dining hall, as well as the infirmary, which wasn't far from the garden.

"We do have our own medical staff, thankfully. Dr. Henry Jekyll II--just call him 'Hen', no relation to our co-founder--is frequently on staff here, as is Dr. Alano de Lezo. If there's a real emergency, I'll be in here, too, just to help, but they're the regular doctors."

They also toured the upstairs laboratories, the library, and the observatory.

Lastly, they came to the roof.

"This is a rather peaceful spot, and good if you just want to get some air without leaving the Society proper. That said, 'tis a bit chilly today to be outside."

They returned to the warmth of the Society's interior.

"I do believe that's it for the tour," said Lewis with a smile. "All that remains is to get you situated. Helen Jekyll, our day manager, can help you find a room and get settled in. Just a moment."

He left and went down a hallway, then returned shortly with Helen.

"Helen Jekyll, Alexandra Jekyll. Alexandra, Helen," he introduced them.

iiCountess_Magna Jekyll1886 • 9 hours ago

"hello...N-nice to meet you." she said nervously,smiling at Helen.

“In that case, if you’ll please follow me,” Helen gestured for her to come along as she began making her way down one of the hallways.

“Dr. Weir informed me that you’re a Neoalchemist, so I figured you’d be most happy near our lab and chemical store room,” She explained, before looking back to Alexandra, “Does that sound suitable to you?”

Helen smiled at the comment and stopped in front of a door in the hallway.

“Ah, well... this one shall be yours.”

“The labs are just down that way and to the right,” She directed, sweeping a hand, “And if you head that way, you’ll find yourself in the main entrance again.”

She returned her gaze to Alexandra.

“Do you have any questions? Anything I can get you?”

She shuddered, unable to keep from trembling as she recalled the dozens of time she had lashed out at Catt. How could anyone keeping an eye on the Hatter possibly overlook all of that? Surely it wouldn't go unpunished?

"I... d-don't wanna talk a-about t-this a-anymore.."

"Then we shan't," agreed Lewis.

“Uh...”

She broke away from his gaze, looking about the room, searching for a new topic.

Her eyes lingered on the doorway before she turned to Lewis again.

“Do you think I’ll get visitors...?”

"I would imagine so. Elaina, I should think. And I know Alice considers you a friend. Others may come as well. You know how the Society is--it won't be long till the rumors make the rounds and the lodgers know you're in here."

She frowned deeply, her brow crinkling.

“Do you think if I pretend to be asleep often enough, they’ll stop coming?”

A laugh.

"I...can't say what will or won't dissuade them. But you could certainly have some time to yourself if you desired. Just say you're tired, and that should do it."

Just then, Catt returned carrying a small tray with hot soup and a warm bun set elegantly on clean china. Next to the food was a mug of hot chocolate, and a small glass of what appeared to be mead, both were steaming with heat.

Hela was about to make a comment about how she wanted all the time to be time to herself, or perhaps on how Lodgers were terrible at noticing social cues like that when Catt stepped back into the infirmary.

“Oh, Catt...”

She perked up, eyeing the food on the tray.

“Is... all of that for Lewis?”

A soft sigh.

“I suppose I shall wait. Perhaps when she returns from her trip, things won’t be so... tense.”

She opened the ring box as she spoke, falling silent at the sight of the gift.

It was a shimmering silver band, decorated with minute and delicate engravings, all centered around a small moonstone.

“It’s... Oh, wow...”

Helen pulled out the ring, examining it in the light.

“She must have spent a fortune on me...”

"Then you know she's still in there," observed Lewis. "Merely...saddled with a temporary malady," he remarked with a small smile.

He was glad that, if Helen had feelings for Elaina, at least Elaina was most likely a real person.

She certainly felt real enough when I kissed Elise, Narrators be damned. He counted that exercise as an unqualified success. Simultaneously, he hoped it wouldn't complicate matters in future.

"I think, Helen...this will all work itself out. In due time," he reassured, giving her a gentle squeeze.

“I pray you’re right,” She replied with a fading smile, “Though I can’t help but wonder if she’d be better off, still hating me for being a Jekyll...”

Helen slipped the ring on the fourth finger of her right hand, gently touching the stone.

"People will do what they choose," he said with a shrug. "And who can say what 'better off' even means?"

A little chuckle.

"That's the beauty of free will--and not knowing the future."

"Very well then, I shall... make an effort not to think about it," She pledged, her words soft but firm, giving a smile.

"I do hope this all hasn't interrupted anything important."

“Well, I’m glad to hear that.”

A pause, then at Hela’s goading she asked, “Were they for anything of interest?”

“Oh, that’s wonderful!”

“I’m very happy to hear things are looking up with that,” She told him in earnest, a smile curving her lips to mirror his.

“Perhaps now my counterpart won’t complain so often about the selection of food, next time she’s visiting your home.”

“Oh no, you’re both still perfectly welcome here,” Helen assured, “You’ll simply have to stop by our co-founder’s office sometime and introduce them yourself.”

She smiled. “His name’s Dr. Henry Jekyll. I’m sure you’ve heard of him, if you’ve been researching our establishment.”
