Seidhr still seated as conversations where made about his business, the Dokkalf nodded "that's right if you have something broken I'll fix it, you have or need parts or scrap you come to me I'll sort your needs and wants out!" he said confidently having noticed new faces in the crowd and a new face is always a potential customer or knows potential customers.


Lilliana them spoke mostly to Rota somewhat including him but only offhandedly, as well as going on about the ball that the rich kid by the name of Marik was currently hosting. Rota had removed his hand threatening him personal injury "you know as well as I do if you break something vital to me or the business they won't be enough money to pay you as my guard," he whispered back to her. Not long after that rota stood up hooked arms with Lilliana and made their way to the door the dokkalf wasn't really impressed by this "Leaving the client that has paid you to guard him without even consulting him with a room full of new people? but knowing what you two are like you're just going to waltz off anyway I might as well get dressed myself, screwing the lid to the bottle closed and grasping it in his hand. Taking a small bag of coin and tossing it to the large bartender "this should cover it" grasping the glass and placing it on the bar before making his way over to the lilliana and his body guard.

Aeron Edgar Elswood
​

Aeron laughed heartily when Marik answered and slung an arm around him. He didn't mind Marik eating while they made their way away from the corner that Marik sat at originally. "As long as the birthday lord is happy today. " he laughed as they wound their way through the people. While walking, Aeron shifted his gaze to the direction that suddenly had Marik's attention. His cousin unslung his arm and made his way towards two people in particular. Not in a rush, he walked about two and a half paces behind him, close enough to hear Marik's amused and excited voice as he approached right into the personal bubble of the Valkyrie lady. 


He wasn't surprised that said lady wasn't pleased the slightest, and the alf that he had seen earlier spoke up. A half-attempt at trying to distract my cousin in a subtle manner, was what Aeron had observed in an amused manner. It seemed almost inappropriate of the alf's class (as he judged by the rather formal attire), but Marik wasn't very bothered. Perhaps it was because of the grand birthday party in general that even having 'second class' participants wasn't going to bring his mood down. 


"A mechanical bird, eh? Do show me when you get the chance perhaps on another day. I'm very curious about it, Marik." Aeron laughed, before a maid with a wine had passed. He recognised the label immediately. How very like Marik to not hold back on the brands. He turned back to the alf again. He lifted a hand to rub the back of his head, looking a little sheepish while interest was clear in his eyes. It was a little awkward when the other clearly knew that he was Lord Marik's cousin. "I don't believe we've formally met before," He held out a hand to shake to the other. He spoke in a tone in the similar casual manner that his cousin had, partially curious of how the alf would take it. "Aeron Edgar Elswood, simply calling me Aeron is fine. And yours...?"

Ikkian would shake the young man's hand, "Ikkian Zerifan, I've done business with your family from time to time and it's a pleasure to meet you." He said letting go of Aeron's hand as he did, he seemed to be calm, talking to people he hadn't met never fazed him since business is his occupation so not being able to talk would be somewhat counterintuitive, "So, how are you finding your Marik's party?" He asked inquisitively, wondering if he could actually put up with him. Thinking that it would be best that since they were related, "Aeron, might I ask, what you do for a living or are you like Marik here?" he asked trying to know a bit more about the people he might have dealings with in the future.

Aeron Edgar Elswood




There was a firm handshake exchanged between the two men. "Ikkian Zerifan, I see. likewise, it's a pleasure as well," Aeron said, testing out the name with his tongue. Perhaps he had done business with Edgar Senior, or Aeron's father. Seeing the look in Ikkian's eyes, Aeron could guess that it was probably the other was skeptical of who he was. He was an Elswood after all. "Well,  I'm always delighted with Marik's parties." Aeron said honestly. His cousin had understood the term of 'having fun', even though the two had different interests at times. "I am always entertained in Marik's parties. On that note, hey Marik," Aeron called to his blonde-haired cousin while he was downing the bottle of wine. "Any drink you'd recommend?" he asked, knowing that Marik would have no doubt asked them to order some rare wine or alcohol for the occasion. 


Being asked about his profession, Aeron lifted up a hand to his chin to think for a moment. Like Marik here, now that was something that probably described him better. He loved relaxing. But there were smarter ways of simply saying 'I don't do anything for a living, really'. "If you mean a profession, then I suppose I can say that I am a golf player, and a poker player." he said, turning to look a little more closely to see what Ikkian's facial expression would be. He then added in a very casual voice. "It's only recently though that I've done a few investments in a couple of projects."

Lilianna waved her hand in a dismissing manner towards Sei ( @Halffix ) "Nah, I dont need a drink before getting ther. Though I will probably be needing one afterwards. That's if the kid bothers me." she shrugged as if it wasnt a big deal and her eyes moved back to the Giant who she could only assume was Drogan and let out a laugh "A bottle to hit him with sounds like a nice idea. I'll be sure to pay you back if you get me the best bottle I can hit him with." ( @Jackaboi )her smile seemed to always brighten up a room just by how happy and cheerful she was outside of working on mechanical items. The Alf then looked back at Sei and Rota but more towards Rota who complimented her "Why thank you, Rota." the smile had still been on her lips
​

Looking over her shoulder, she noticed another Alf who hopped into the converstation. Not that she minded, he wasnt being rude. He was being friendly in his own way! Plus he was against the counter so he was quite a distance away "I own Sparks Cafe. Best Tea and coffee around from what all my customers have been telling me. Sei here owns the Repair and Scrap emporium... Am I corrct Sei?" the alf looked towards the Dokkalf just to get confirmation since she wasnt entirely sure seeing as she never visited much.
​

 
​

Her attention was grabbed as Rota rose up from her seat, Lili tilted her head just slightly in curiousity before it was soon content "I wouldnt mind going with you at all! I'm sure Sei wouldnt mind either, would ya?" ( @Halffix ) a giggle left her lips "Lets go and get you nice and dressed up, Rota." when her best friend let her arm out, Lilianna instantly linked her arm with hers and looked towards the Alf who had spoken to them "I'm Lilianna Sparks, but you can call me lili, sparks, sparky, anna. Anything you could come up with really. Rota and I are gonna head out to the party going on upstairs and I gotta get working on prettying her up. Maybe next time we can hang out? I like to meet more of my fellow Alvens." ( @Petroshka ) once he answered, she nodded softly with a warm smile
​

 
​

  Then she headed out "I didnt think you'd want to go to the Rich Kid's party, Rota. I'm quite glad that you're coming along." ( @Zuka from here on and to the end of my post) Lili was shorter than Rota only by 2 inches. Which was surprising since Alves were quite tall no matter the gender they were. For the human height, it was quite odd that she was taller than an alf by two inches... Then again Lilianna was shorter than the normal Alf due to the genes from her father.
​

 
​

The two best friends walked out of the bar and and had headed to Rota's room "What made you change your mind if you dont mind me asking? Was it because I came in and peaked your interest with my dashing looks in this dress?" she teased, releasing a laugh and nudging her "C'mon, dont be shy. You know you can tell me anything. We're friends for a reason you know." she said in a singsong voice. Rota may have been the quiet one but Lilianna was the one who always spoke, always had fun and tried to be the positive one in a group and did what she could to push people (in a good way) and lead them onward!
​

 
​

It didnt take her long to see a large clockwork doll with a red light staring down the hall towards Herself and Rota. Sparky wasnt scared but she was kinda shaken by how intimidating the doll looked...

Rota Ravven

Middle Carriage
​

 
​

Rota glanced over her shoulder to Seidhr as he mentioned leaving him alone in a group of people, her golden eyes drifting over to the Jotunn with a bemused smile before drifting back to Seidhr. "I doubt anyone will try anything shifty with that huge Blue Giant around, but if you really can not feel safe for 5 minutes, I can escort you back to your room as well as my own.... does a Scrap owner such as yourself even have an outfit to wear?" She said in a bemused tone before she continued to walk out the door with the Alf and made her way back to her room. Luckily for her she ended up leading Seidhr to his own room as they had actually been giving their living quarters side by side. That had literally bumped into one another from there, until she had spotted him later in the day and he needed her assistance to deal with those thugs.
​

 
​

As they walked and the Dokkalf trailed behind, Rota glanced sideways to Sparks as she elbowed her in the side. "Yes, well, I'm not too concerned on that fancy pants boy, but I've never been to a formal setting at least not for-" humans she thought idly but she stopped herself just in the nick of time. "-the Upper Class. It should be a dazzling spectacle of the Wealthy..." Though her expression grew bleak for a moment. "I wonder if they are aware just how bad the Lower Carriage is that they can flaunt so much money around?-..." Rota had been on the train for 5 years now, and due to circumstances had spent a number of months living in the Lower Carriage. She couldn't even begin to describe the bare filth, the over crowded people and the desperation of the inhabitants down there...
​

 
​

Her musings halted as she had finally come to her room and as she reached down to the ring of keys at her hip she yanked the chain up to open the door only she noticed Sparkie was getting tense beside her in her very peripheral vision, and just at that moment Siedhr had joined them and came up to her other side. The girl turned her head to spot the glowing red light of the doll and almost immediately the girl put an arm out to shove the Alf behind her back while she meanwhile stepped infront of Siedhr as well, effectively blocking both with her body with the one movement. She didn't know who this Doll was, or it's purpose, but safeguarded the both just in case.

Still keeping her Golden Eyes on the Doll she flicked her keys out and opened the door before shoving both the Alf and Dokkalf into her living quarters while Rota stood at the doorway with a hand hovering over her Shotgun. "Did you require something, Doll? If not it would be wise to continue on your business...Drogan's Dishes down the street has a fine selection of people if you require them." She said in the same flat tone she always used.

Marik Elswood II
​

Upper Carriage Ball Room
​

 
​

Marik blinked as his cousin took a keen interest in one of his presents, the flying clock bird... thing. To be frank Marik had given it one big ooo noise and then promptly thrown it away, probably to the horror of whatever other Wealthy man was there at the time that offered the present in the first place. "Well you see, Aeron, I would love to show you that... bird thing.. but I actually don't remember where I put it... perhaps a waiting staff member grabbed it out of the trash I may or may not have thrown it into after it did one full circle and I got bored." Then he continued to slurp down his bottle in a rather ungracious fashion that was very odd for him. Perhaps this huge spectacle was starting to wear thin on the boy though that seemed unlikely. Maybe it was all the lower classes coming up and into his space? Maybe he just needed to drink more? Have a shower and whip the filth off? What was it that he really wanted right now?
​

 
​

As he heard his cousin call out, Marik turned to face him before he snatched at a waiter boy that happened to be walking past and whispered fast into his ear before he disappeared and returned a moment later with two wine glasses and a very old looking bottle that was still covered in dust. Marik finally came back to stand at a T intersection of the pair talking with a smile. "This is the finest wine Albia has to offer, those Alves certainly know how to make things taste and look beautiful after all..." He said in a bemused tone as the boy poured all three and glass while he simultaneously took away Marik's empty bottle. If there was one thing to perk up Marik's interest it was expensive things and this Wine was one of the most expensive. "Hmm do you think whoever's party this it might allow some Brawling for the Lord's amusement? I think he might... but I have to find some strapping combatants... "

Sarma
​

Sarma clocked her head to the side as two more followed the Alf, a Dokkalve and.. a overly aggressive Human. She didnt flinch or move as the human woman pointed her gun at her, she simply stared at the golden eyes, examining her and her gear. A rather short barreled shotgun and another gun, a rifle of some sort, she dressed plainly compared to the Alf. Infact theDokkalve man that accompanied them also looked plain. Very out of the ordinary, groups of people usually dressed the same wether they were going to go shopping of to a party. Sarma only became more interested in this, what were they doing? where are they going? what were they up to? After a few seconds of silence went by Sarma spoke. "Aggressive Behavior," 


Sarma suddenly flashed her eye brightly to make the group of three blinded for a few moments before jumping off onto a building and using her magnetic hands and feet to skitter away out of their sight. She would Follow them and analyse what they were doing, maybe inform the security? she didnt know yet but this group interested her. she lowered the light of her eye and crawled onto the ceiling watching them regain their sight. She wondered what would happen if she decided to attack, she doubted that the guns the human had could dent her but she supposed it was safer this way. And much more interesting to see just what exactly this unusual grouping of persons would do.

Lilianna giggled "Ah I see... Well now you get to experience the formal setting." she said happily as her arm continued to stay locked with Rotas and it didnt take Sei long to follow them and before she knew it, they were already at Rota's home. That was till she managed to spot the doll just as she did  and shoved both her and Sei through the door. Lucky for Sei, he managed to catch his barings unlike Lili who fell and grabbed Sei in the process, causing her to squeak and land on the ground with a loud thud and was soon met with the weight of Sei that made her make a "oof" sound and she sighed, slowly openeing her eyes to seeing the bttom of Sei's pants "Okay, Sei, you have a very nice butt, but the fact that it's in my face I would very much appreciate that you'd move it.." and the fact that her face was near something else made her very uncomfortable.
​

 
​

Being a happy Alf, she did her best to make awkward or tense situations turn into silly situations and get a laugh out of it. As soon as she managed to sit up, the doll had flashed something towards them which made her go blind and the Alf brought her hands to her eyes, rubbing them and then soon trying to refocus "Rota come on, dont mess with the doll unless it's causing a real threat... It didnt attack us while we were walking. It may look scary but it didnt really do anything but flash us just now." when she fully took focus on Rota, she noticed that her friend was actually cowering. Was she sensitive to light? Or did it hurt since she took it full head on? "Rota? Rota are you okay?" Lili called out as she got up to her feet and moved over towards her

Ikkian would ponder on the thought of Aeron investing in projects, before turning to fully face him, not caring for Marik, only getting his attention to help out the young valkyrie woman, "Oh really, what type of projects? If you are talking about technology and magic, then you have my interest since on my off time I am a tinkerer, playing about with mechanics and circuitry, nothing as good as the clockwork dolls mind you but I always enjoy learning  and getting better in that trade... Sorry, I got off topic, what type of projects were they? The ones you have the investments in?" Ikkian spoke, trying to get back to the topic that Aeron was talking about, still ignoring Marik.

Rota Ravven
​

Middle Carriage
​

Rota had every muscle in her body flexed and ready to spring at a moment's notice, that was when the doll said something about "Aggressive Behavior". She didn't have long to react. If it were a weapon of some description she could have fired off a shot to counter but she wasn't expecting a huge burst of light right in-front her. The black haired girl instantly cowered down as her hands flew up to her eyes. Having great eyesight has it's draw backs and apparently bright flashing lights happened to be one of them. She tried to rub her eyes which had slammed shut in reflex with the palm of her hands, groaning out as she did. One of two rather profound curses not fit for any dignified lady slipped her lips. She thrust an arm out and rested her weight against the nearest wall, the door frame to her room in fact. Then as her eyes started to slide open, she had tears in the corner of them from the sheer pain she was feeling from the blinding light. Only to notice that the doll was gone!


The girl in a half panic kept her eyesight only at halfway before she turned and half stumbled into the room, still keeping a hand held onto the wall for stability as her other hand tried to lower from her watering eyes. "Well whatever the Hell that was, it's gone... I think... I can barely see..." She admitted in a soft tone, before peering around the room. "S....Seidhr? Y...you okay?" She said in a tone that seemed far more concerned then she'd let on at any point previously, apart from being his Bodyguard she was genuinely concerned if he was Ok and it was probably as much a surprise to him as it was to her how worried she sounded. She'd even used his full name which she very very rarely used.

"It's not about being left alone for 5 minutes, that you are going to be gone a great deal longer than 5 minutes anyway. I know long it takes you girls to get ready as you put it just before." Feigning being offended and upset but it was a good time as any to go and get ready for the ball anyway, and there wasn't really any stopping her and sparks from going to get ready those two did spend a lot of time together almost as much as he did with Rota the joys of being employed though. Her stern company many might find off putting was actually nice for a change and the store did stay well protected during open hours as well as the surrounding ones to be honest, if anything the other stores should be helping to pay Rotas' wage or maybe they didn't know that was the case. Either way the store did make enough money to keep them on the train in relative comfort not Marik comfort but not having to live in a box scraping and grease engine components like most of the serving class in the rear car.

Finally catching up the pair as they walked arm in arm chatting about goodness knows what they stopped at Rotas room as she opened the door something began was peering from down the hallway there was a bright flash just after the tall woman had grasped sparks and himself and flung them into the open door of her room. The flash was very bright and Rota cried out and uttered some unflattering words that would make even the most seasoned whore blush. Ending up in a heap on top of Sparks she got a full look at the lower half of his pants, his head being practically nestled between her thighs managing to catch himself before it was obvious. Sparks hadn't really noticed or cared all the much and asked him to move which he did do relatively quickly and she made her way over to the still his still half blinded body guard. She called out to see if he was okay, which did strike the Dokkalf as a little strange having never done so before he blinked for a moment "y..yes rota I'm fine thank you. Are you alright?" he said grasping a nearby piece of cloth and and wetting it with cool water before going to the other side of her as sparks helped her inside her room a little more and into a nearby chair. Once she was seated he placed a hand on her shoulder reassuringly unsure of how well she could see at the moment and gently placed the cool clothe to her face and covered her eyes with it.

"It's better to be cautious with those dolls I think especially if there isn't an owner directly near them, considering what they do and they aren't exactly born... but they are fascinating.. love to have one to look at" getting side tracked shaking his head to bring them back to the matter at hand "here sparks help her with this ill go close the door, it might be gone for now but might return.." leaving the side of his body guard to close and lock the door.

Drogan took everyone's order but was confused with the dokkalve's request (@revior). "I have been on his train for a little while now. Over two years I'd say but... You asked for... Coffee?" It must be clear that this person was not all too familiar with the train but Drogan thought it was common knowledge for people to know what's sold here. "Uh... You know this is a bar and grill right? I'm afraid the closest thing you'll get to a non alcoholic drink is a glass of water." Drogan went to the kitchen to give the dokkalf time to make a second request and then went to get everyone else's food and drinks. "A hamburger and fries with a glass of water for the human... The alf didn't give me anything so I'll assume he'll be fine with water too." Drogan had everything ready in no time. The only real effort he made so far was make a hamburger and grill some fries. Drogan may not look like it but he takes pride in his cooking, even to the extent where if his customers are not satisfied he will constantly teach himself new methods of making different things till he gets it just right. Now Drogan has come out the kitchen with everyone's order. He gave the hamburger and fries to the human with the fox, a glass of water for the alf. (If he was going to be here he'd might as well have something). Finally he went back to the dokkalve who ordered the coffee earlier to see if he thought of anything different to have. It didn't take the Jotunn long to notice that his two regulars have taken their leave, maybe they're away to check out Marik's party. Maybe even crash it... Who knows? But he hoped it was the second option.

"Oh?" Zeke raised an eyebrow when told that they don't serve coffee here, only alcoholic drinks, "Even though you're open during the day? Even though you serve food?"


Zeke rubs his chin, wondering if this was a Jotunn thing, that they down all their meals with liquor or something.


"Never mind then. Just a glass of water and... hmm. Sorry, but scratch that."


Zeke stood up, picking up his luggage.


"Sorry about that, but I have just remembered that I need to be somewhere."


The man left hastily, and once outside the bar, one could hearing his hurried footsteps as he began running with his trunks in tow. It wasn't because he didn't want the food or the drinks, it was because he had realized that, since most of everyone had gone on ahead to this Marik character's party, then he'll probably have to hurry, heck, he might even be too late.

Middle Car: Dark Alleyways
​

After turning the corner for about the fifth or sixth time, Zeke pulls out a slip of paper from his pocket, checking it once more. On the paper, a few directions are written, and to accommodate them, a badly drawn map. It was supposed to help him if he were to get lost, though there's nothing here that would currently help him read this damn thing, and the size of this place certainly does not help. After running about aimlessly for a few more circles, Zeke is beginning to get a grasp on the lay of the land, and eventually he wandered into a series of buildings with a Kodai-ish vibe, buildings that are very old, very worn, and clearly out of date. The whole place had an eerie atmosphere to it, as if the place had been abandoned and perhaps something unearthly had moved in. But the truth is, it isn't so. Waiting at the doorsteps of the building furthest in the back is an old man, a man with a large pointed nose and a pair of bucktooth. This man is the owner. His eyes, sharp and sinister looking were trained on Zeke the moment he stepped into the grounds of this old hidden away place.


"You the owner?" Zeke asked straightforwardly.


"Are you Johannes's boy?"


"You sound like you know the Don well. I'm Zeke Hartfield by the way, a pleasure to meet you."


"Know him? Yeah, you can say that." the old man then thrust a key towards Zeke impatiently, as if he wanted to get this over with quickly, "here's the key to your room, it's on the top floor. You can do whatever you want in it so long as you don't bug me." 


Immediately after that, the old man returned inside the building.


It was exactly as described to him, this place. It was difficult to find, it's so worn down and old you won't think there's still people living here, and an owner who doesn't care what goes on behind closed doors. Truly, a haven for the shadiest of individuals.

Lilianna frowned a bit and moved towards Rota, standing on her one side and helping her to the couch where Lilianna gently placed her down, Sei of course followed with a cloth and put it over her best friend's eyes. "Be careful, Sei. And dont worry, I always help." she had to be positive just as she always was "Well I guess I could say we were flashed." she joked, laughing softly and trying to lighten the mood "Get it? Flashed? Instead of boobs it was a light." she made the worst puns and jokes but that's what she did when she wanted to brighten a dark tension or any tension for that matter. Her purple eyes moved down towards Rota "I can get your things ready if you want me to. I could get your dress and shoes and see how long it takes for your vision to come back." maybe because she was human that it hurt more? Lil and Sei really didnt have as much as a problem as Rota did.
​

 
​

Either way, Lilianna was willing to help or wait. Besides, the party only just started so they had plenty of time to get there at the most. Grabbing a couch pillow, she put it under Rota's head and let her rest on that. The Alf looked back at Sei who finally closed the door and seemed to have locked it "If that doll does come back i'll take care of it. Probably go on and find it's owner before going to the party." she shrugged softly "Maybe just tell it to go back home cause I did tell Rota i'd go with her to the party. But untill that doll comes back, we're most likely gonna stick to our plan. And since you're coming with us, Sei...." she looked him up and down "I think i'd change your shirt out with something more formal wouldnt you say? Not that your attire is bad, just that it needs to be more..formal. We all know how the rich boy is. Gotta be 'dressed nice' and stuff." the Alf rolled her eyes with a smile.
​

 
​

The Alf did have her mind on the recent Alf she ran into. He was pretty cool, looked like a prince too. Plus she loved meeting others of her own race. They were always different and held a nice set of personality and everything. Pretty much Lili wanted to be friends with everyone. That's how friendly she was. She doesnt make any horrible deals and trades fairly... Yeah a lot of things that could be said about this Alf.

"It's not about being left alone for 5 minutes, that you are going to be gone a great deal longer than 5 minutes anyway. I know long it takes you girls to get ready as you put it just before." Feigning being offended and upset but it was a good time as any to go and get ready for the ball anyway, and there wasn't really any stopping her and sparks from going to get ready those two did spend a lot of time together almost as much as he did with Rota the joys of being employed though. Her stern company many might find off putting was actually nice for a change and the store did stay well protected during open hours as well as the surrounding ones to be honest, if anything the other stores should be helping to pay Rotas' wage or maybe they didn't know that was the case. Either way the store did make enough money to keep them on the train in relative comfort not Marik comfort but not having to live in a box scraping and grease engine components like most of the serving class in the rear car.

Finally catching up the pair as they walked arm in arm chatting about goodness knows what they stopped at Rotas room as she opened the door something began was peering from down the hallway there was a bright flash just after the tall woman had grasped sparks and himself and flung them into the open door of her room. The flash was very bright and Rota cried out and uttered some unflattering words that would make even the most seasoned whore blush. Ending up in a heap on top of Sparks she got a full look at the lower half of his pants, his head being practically nestled between her thighs managing to catch himself before it was obvious. Sparks hadn't really noticed or cared all the much and asked him to move which he did do relatively quickly and she made her way over to the still his still half blinded body guard. She called out to see if he was okay, which did strike the Dokkalf as a little strange having never done so before he blinked for a moment "y..yes rota I'm fine thank you. Are you alright?" he said grasping a nearby piece of cloth and and wetting it with cool water before going to the other side of her as sparks helped her inside her room a little more and into a nearby chair. Once she was seated he placed a hand on her shoulder reassuringly unsure of how well she could see at the moment and gently placed the cool clothe to her face and covered her eyes with it.

"It's better to be cautious with those dolls I think especially if there isn't an owner directly near them, considering what they do and they aren't exactly born... but they are fascinating.. love to have one to look at" getting side tracked shaking his head to bring them back to the matter at hand "here sparks help her with this ill go close the door, it might be gone for now but might return.." leaving the side of his body guard to close and lock the door.

Rota Ravven
​

Middle Carriage Apartments
​

Rota was livid. You'd think in all those years she would assume someone might use an attack directed straight at her sensitive eyesight, but how was she supposed to know a Doll of all things would pull such a dirty trick? That was more what humans living in the Lower Carriages would pull off in their desperation then something a trained Doll might perform. Which begged the question of exactly what it built for and why it was here of all reasons. Rota had nothing else to loose now, and Siedhr and Lilianna only had shops. Nothing grand like that Lord Marik owned (or at least he could afford). So why target the three?


She was lead into the room by the blurry shapes that she could mostly make out was the Alf and Dokkalf and while she would normally decline to sit down honestly she was not in a small amount of pain so she weirdly just accepted it. "I've clearly been better Seidhr!" She said in an aggressive tone though once again she had, oddly, used his full name not his nickname. She felt a hand on her shoulder first before a moment later there was a cool cloth pressed in against her eyes by a warm hand and almost instantly the girl took a soft breath outwards in relief and her shoulders relaxed a fraction. Slowly her vision was starting to get less spotty and more normal. When Sides stepped away to lock the door she kept the cloth to her eyes for a moment before she dragged the cloth down her face and opened her eyes fully to really focus in again. The boob joke causing the girl to glance to the Alf with her normal glare as she did. "Yeah, go into the cupboard, on the very top shelf tucked into the back is a box. If you bring it here it has a dress folded up and shoes to go with it. I bought it some years back when I first came onto the Jörmungandr and we stopped off at The Kodai Empire."

Glancing to Seidhr now her vision was returning and Lil mentioned for him to go change. "I'm not having him leave this room with that crazy Doll around, he will stay in here while I get changed in the bathroom..." Standing up suddenly as she let the damp cloth fall, before scooping up the box as she did. "You both wait here I'll be back." With that the dark haired disappeared into the bathroom, she was in there for a good few minutes, before she peeked the door out a fraction and poked a head out. "Lil, can you help with with the back stitching on this dress please?" It didn't even occur to her just what she asked, her mind was still focused on that Doll. And when Lilli would have walked into the bathroom she would have had her back facing her as she stared to a full length mirror on one wall, her eyes lowered to somewhere on her hips. Now she knew it had been many years since she had wore this dress, but it was decidedly tighter then she remembered back then.

​

But Lil would not have noticed that, but rather the huge crosses of scars that lined along her entire shoulder blades like something out of a horror movie. There were even still nodes where her wings joints used to be, like lumps to the side of her spine. The sheer magnitude of the scars evident the girl would be unable to feel really anything across her back now as the nerve centers were dead.

Rota didn't even think of what she was showing off, she was still too busy looking in the mirror.

Sarma watched them enter the building and decided to drop down onto the roof with a soft 'kathunk' and she walked to the edge and used her magnetic limbs to scurry down to the window and peered inside, she turned off her red light to attempt to remain stealthy but her huge head would be a problem. It seemed like the group of three were dressing up for some kind of party, perhaps it was the ball she was watching earlier? she pondered on what the three would do there, they certainly didnt seem very, 'fancy' is what Adrenias would say. she quickly threw her head back and stood on the side of the building using the magnetic clamps on her feet to negate the falling. Looking about she concluded that she had nothing else to do besides go back to the workshop and decided to stick to this group for the time being.

Alyxxia walked aimlessly through the extremely large train, she had thought the train was big on the outside but the inside seemed even larger! She had reached the part of where it looked like a small sized city but when she took the stairs up there was another city on top of that! she walked into a random apartment only to find out that the staff had left for the ball. she frowned and walked back outside, looks like she'll be wandering the middle of the train until that ball is over. She then went to go explore the rest of the middle of the train.

Aeron Edgar Elswood




Before Aeron could answer, his cousin had came from the side, and he turned to see that there was a rather dusty bottle. There was a small glimmer in his eyes, in which he did look forward to the contents. He gave a nod of thanks to Marik in receiving one of the glasses. "It's a rather nice colour," Aeron commented in honestly. He held the bottle out towards Marik's direction and Ikkian as well, as though for a toast. "Once again, happy birthday, Cousin. Cheers." Knowing very well that there would be eyes evaluating his behviour, Aeron took about half a mouthful, enough to enjoy the taste but not enough to be judged as one downing the whole drink. As usual, Marik always made sure the quality was good. "Battle contestants? I'm not sure whether there would be enough time to find them," he gave a small, wry smile. "Perhaps some of the bodyguards might be able to entertain us?"


Turning back to Ikkian again. "Sorry, yes, you were mentioning about tinkering with mech parts," he said, trying to show that he had remembered what the Alf was saying. It was always harder when talking to more than one person at once. When he was asked about his projects, Aeron couldn't help but feel a bit of pride. He was interested. "I'm currently a stakeholder for two projects, One is for "Faelis", a company for constructing non-lighter-than-air airship engine parts. The other project is still under its way to launch, it's a toy company for remote airplanes and trains. Nothing really fancy as well comared to clockwork dolls, I imagine that they're rather different from what you do in your personal workshop?" he asked. The last question was leaving room for Ikkian to expand on what he would have worked on in the past. 


@Zuka @SinningSloth

 

[SinningSloth]

Ikkian would nod to what Aeron was saying, fully engrossed in the conversation, "I take it you have an interest in aeronautics and transport then, with both those projects having ties with transport, with the construction of the airship engine parts, why the other is in the creation of recreational versions of aeroplanes and trains. My personal work does have ties with the clockwork dolls, ever since seeing some of the first prototypes, I've been enamoured with them but with the magical circuitry being as expensive and so intertwined with the magic being used in the production, it makes them extraordinarily expensive with barely any room for business growth." Ikkian paused to take a breath, "what I do in personal workshop is trying to replicate the abilities of those circuitries, without the need for the magic, while still having the same result as you would when creating a doll in the traditional manner, right now I am merely fiddling about with circuit boards, comparing them to the magical ones within the dolls. One of the reasons I actually own one was so I could study the mechanics of them, that and having an assistant is supremely helpful when doing business ventures, with the buying and selling of businesses and when helping some of the small companies grow their name, giving them advice on how they might expand and develop." Ikkian finishing that though hoping he didn't just drown Aeron in what he was saying but he seemed to be an intelligent sort so the likelihood of that happening was slim if it was Marik on the other hand, well, he'd drown, simple as.

[SIZE= 16px]This human didnt look too wealthy but definitely a future customer, and perhaps even a [/SIZE][SIZE= 16px]apprentice[/SIZE][SIZE= 16px]? He doubted it. The pet spider rose from Adrenias's shoulder and walked onto the table with little "clinks" as its eight legs walked around.[/SIZE]

[SIZE= 14px]Varen looked even more excited, if that was posible, when Adrenias expalined his profession, but he quickly regained his more adult-like composure when he saw the slightly akward expression the man was giving him.  He still maintained his happy expression while regarding the Alve who asked about Sven. Nodding, Varen removed the fox from his shoulder and proceeded to hold him up in front of his chest for Adrenias to see. He didn't immediately present Sven to the man to physically touch since he wasn't quite insane enough to let a stranger handle his most prize dpossession.[/SIZE]

[SIZE= 14px]"You must be the real deal if you can tell that Sven was built just by glancing at him! Anyways, my friend and I made him from scratch, her handling the more..complex parts like the magic circuitry. I did a lot of the endoskeleton and the 'costume'. I can't believe I've already met a profesional Doll Maker! As an aspiring inventor, I've always wanted to learn how the Dolls work so meeting someone who is dedicated to working with them is an honor." Varen said, the childlike excitement unintentionally leaking form his words. Fortunately, the boy noticed this and cleared his throat.

"Er, apologies. My anme is Varen, I just boarded the train today. it's a pleasure to meet you."[/SIZE]

Lili knew that Rota would react like she would of but she listened to her instructions on the dress where it was located. Top shelf in a cupboard and thus the Alf got up and searched for the black box. As soon as she found it, she pulled it out and looked inside to see if it was the dress and indeed it was. Closing the box up again, the Alf returned to Rota and handed it to her "It's quite the nice dress. You're not even wearing it and it looks beautiful!" she said happily as she watched Rota stand and say that Sei was staying with both the girls due to that doll "Alright, we'll wait." then her friend disappeared into the bathroom and Lilianna looked back at Sei "Guess your ass is stuck here huh?" ( @Halffix ) she teased, letting out a giggle before the bathroom door opened and Rota asked for help from her."Sure Rota."
​

 
​

Lilianna got up from the couch and walked over, slipping into the bathroom and being met with Rota's back which had many of scars. As soon as she spotted the lumps on the sides of her spine, she knew instantly that Rota was a Valkyrie. If Rota was an Alf, she'd have the pointy ears and the skintone, if she was a giant she'd be huge, she wasnt a  Dokkalf either, but she posed as a Human because she was able to pull it off. Even her wings were gone. Did she rip them out? Or did someone else rip them out? "Hey, Rota?" she asked, coming up behind her and trying to make the stitches work. Indeed that this dress was too tight for her. She grew out of it between her hips and her chest. The poor alf couldnt get it closed and was afraid that she'd rip the beautiful piece of clothing. "I couldnt get it shut, your figure pushes it open. I'm afraid of pulling any harder and ripping it..."
​

 
​

Then she couldnt help but look at her back once again as she ran her fingers on the one lump on her back "Why did you keep your species a secret?" she then looked over her shoulder and to her face in the mirror "Did...Did someone rip your wings off out of their own spite?" Lili was always Honest with Rota, no matter what it was. She tried to avoid secrets as much as possible because secrets can ruin any relationship (from friends through couples) no matter what stage it was in. As Lili brought that to Rota's attention, she made sure to keep her voice down to avoid Sei overhearing.

Adrenias nodded at the large man "thank you sir" and took a sip before turning back to the boy with the fox. Adrenias extended his hand out toward the boy "you built with a friend huh? i must say im genuinely impressed." indeed he was impressed, he got a closer look at the fox. He was very well made, whoever his friend may be she must've been talented or very skilled, not to say that the boy's work was to falter either but Adrenias for the live of him couldnt understand why the fox has a pair of what looks like goggles on its head. was it for aesthetic purposes? "the skin is definitely well made, what about this friend of yours?" As Adrenias was speaking to his new found co-worker/apprentice. his pet spider was playing around with the fox examining him. "and why does he have a pair of goggles if i might add?"

Then she couldnt help but look at her back once again as she ran her fingers on the one lump on her back "Why did you keep your species a secret?" she then looked over her shoulder and to her face in the mirror "Did...Did someone rip your wings off out of their own spite?" Lili was always Honest with Rota, no matter what it was. She tried to avoid secrets as much as possible because secrets can ruin any relationship (from friends through couples) no matter what stage it was in. As Lili brought that to Rota's attention, she made sure to keep her voice down to avoid Sei overhearing.

He pondered for a little while as he casually looked the components over placing them back individually and being quite careful to put them back in the same place. Looking over toward the bathroom door hearing the two woman talking but in much more hushed voices. In the quiet he could have sworn he heard the faintest clunking coming from one of the exterior walls.

Lili knew that Rota would react like she would of but she listened to her instructions on the dress where it was located. Top shelf in a cupboard and thus the Alf got up and searched for the black box. As soon as she found it, she pulled it out and looked inside to see if it was the dress and indeed it was. Closing the box up again, the Alf returned to Rota and handed it to her "It's quite the nice dress. You're not even wearing it and it looks beautiful!" she said happily as she watched Rota stand and say that Sei was staying with both the girls due to that doll "Alright, we'll wait." then her friend disappeared into the bathroom and Lilianna looked back at Sei "Guess your ass is stuck here huh?" ( @Halffix ) she teased, letting out a giggle before the bathroom door opened and Rota asked for help from her."Sure Rota."
​

 
​

Lilianna got up from the couch and walked over, slipping into the bathroom and being met with Rota's back which had many of scars. As soon as she spotted the lumps on the sides of her spine, she knew instantly that Rota was a Valkyrie. If Rota was an Alf, she'd have the pointy ears and the skintone, if she was a giant she'd be huge, she wasnt a  Dokkalf either, but she posed as a Human because she was able to pull it off. Even her wings were gone. Did she rip them out? Or did someone else rip them out? "Hey, Rota?" she asked, coming up behind her and trying to make the stitches work. Indeed that this dress was too tight for her. She grew out of it between her hips and her chest. The poor alf couldnt get it closed and was afraid that she'd rip the beautiful piece of clothing. "I couldnt get it shut, your figure pushes it open. I'm afraid of pulling any harder and ripping it..."

Sarma watched them enter the building and decided to drop down onto the roof with a soft 'kathunk' and she walked to the edge and used her magnetic limbs to scurry down to the window and peered inside, she turned off her red light to attempt to remain stealthy but her huge head would be a problem. It seemed like the group of three were dressing up for some kind of party, perhaps it was the ball she was watching earlier? she pondered on what the three would do there, they certainly didnt seem very, 'fancy' is what Adrenias would say. she quickly threw her head back and stood on the side of the building using the magnetic clamps on her feet to negate the falling. Looking about she concluded that she had nothing else to do besides go back to the workshop and decided to stick to this group for the time being.

Alyxxia walked aimlessly through the extremely large train, she had thought the train was big on the outside but the inside seemed even larger! She had reached the part of where it looked like a small sized city but when she took the stairs up there was another city on top of that! she walked into a random apartment only to find out that the staff had left for the ball. she frowned and walked back outside, looks like she'll be wandering the middle of the train until that ball is over. She then went to go explore the rest of the middle of the train.

Rota was staring to the full length mirror with a clouded expression. Surely Sparks could get the dress done up, yes? It was somewhat the only real fancy clothing the girl owned. She could theoretically go with her with her normal clothing of torn pants and midriff top with the cape, but she didn't expect to stay long at the ball looking like that. If she was even allowed in... Her gaze lowered to peer to her hips with a worried expression. She should have been thinking more clearly, more sharply, realizing she was showing off her back to the Alf whom had never seen it before. Her prized secret. And yet it completely slipped her mind. Then she said the words that made Rota's heart sank. "It's okay, Lilianna, just pull it as tight as you can, I have some spare thread and a needle we can use to close up the back. I have a cloak I can wear at the back as well...." Her hands reaching forward as she opened the sink drawer and started to hunt around for the thread and needle. With those still gripped into her hands she felt the Alf's touch along the lump on her back  and her eyes suddenly widened like saucers as it completely clicked what she was showing off.


Her grip slipped on the items that landed with a crash into the sink. 'your species' she had said and the pit in her stomach dropped even more. She knew... she knew... Rota was feeling her heart starting to clench a little as her breathing quickened. She looked back into the mirror to see Lilianna looking over her shoulder at her face while she still was turned away. Panic was covered her face for a long time before eventually her face hardened like it always did. The cover, the brave facade. "....I was ambushed." She said simply turning around to face Sparkie now as she placed her hands onto her shoulder with a very firm grip. Perhaps even on the side of painful in her seriousness. "...I do not identify with that anymore. I am a human, plain and simple. Nothing more." Glancing sideways to the door and Sides whom she knew was outside. "Please, you must not tell Sides...or anyone! No one must know!" Her hands gripping even harder onto her shoulders. "Promise me you will not tell him!" Her voice still quiet but hurried and almost aggressive. "If he knows he'll..." Her vision whirling sideways back to the mirror as she looked at her hips again. "I have no where else to go and this job is the only thing keeping me on this Train. If he thinks I can not work then..." Rota was starting to crack a little that much was obvious, her mind a jumbled mess. Rota was a bundle of secrets it seemed and it was taking a lot to keep her composed. It was probably half the reason the girl was so quite and brooding, she had a lot on my mind recently.


She whirled back around as she grabbed at her cloak and tried to adjust her dress enough that it mostly sat on her frame, slipping on the shoes before throwing it over her shoulders as she had before. Without a word the girl left the bathroom though she did glance over her shoulder to the Alf with a frosty glare that made her keep her promise before she looked back to Sides with the same stoic expression she always had.
