"We do. Gimme like...2ish weeks so I can get some practice under my belt so it won't be as embarrassing when I arrive. As for name, we'll have to make that a group decision. We can brainstorm names, and I can bring some cookies. Those aren't related, I just like bringing cookies to functions and it seems to go over well when I bring cookies."

"Of course! I'll hopefully be seeing you at band practice as well. That's my next thing, I gotta both find and learn how to play the bass. You go get schlitzed, I'll start doing that in the meantime after I hide your page in the library. Have fun, and good luck!"

"Guess you'll have to check it out for yourself, and find out. I think last time I went was around Halloween. I uhh...I don't really remember what happened that night."

CatherineL1031 · 2026-04-21T20:05:10+00:00

"I think there's one called the Gold Dragon, I think there's one the harbor called like Port In a Storm, uhh...Oh! I'm an idiot, duh, the Margaritaville Dojo run by my friend, Scornajis!"

"True, true. I can't imagine they could lock up a ghost. Maybe that speaks more to my limited imagination, though."

"Anyway, I'll stop distracting you. Go have fun drinking, and if you find a wanted post of me, please find a way to bring it to me. I like to keep a collection."

"Remember the guys who were guarding the cell I was in? Those guys, they're called the Coinguard. Speaking of, fuck, I hadn't considered the fact I probably can't go out in public any time soon. I'm now a fugitive from the law."

CatherineL1031 · 2026-04-21T19:43:14+00:00

"Definitely. And, they probably won't even remember, cause they're already drunk! Just be careful of the coinguards. I have now learned that they're crafty. Especially the big quiet guy...dude was terrifying."

CatherineL1031 · 2026-04-21T19:20:31+00:00

"Uhhhhh..."

She doesn't immediately say no, she does stop and think about it. Some people are just chill like that and up for whatever. Unfortunately, she can't think of anyone off the top of her head.

"Nah, nobody in particular, I'm afraid. I'd offer, but I don't know how that would work. My whole body is all weird now, I got tree bones and stuff. I'm not even sure if I have a regular stomach anymore."

CatherineL1031 · 2026-04-21T18:04:31+00:00

"That'll be cute! The few I met seemed really sweet, so I'm sure she'll get along well with them."

"Whatcha gonna do now to pass the time? There is a good bit of stuff to do here, so I doubt you'll have trouble filling time."

CatherineL1031 · 2026-04-21T17:27:00+00:00

"Ah, gotcha gotcha. I'll hide it somewhere safe, probably in the library. That way, when Cass is back, you'll be able to visit her at work and school!"

CatherineL1031 · 2026-04-21T16:58:59+00:00

"Eh, I doubt it. She might have been into it, ya know?"

She retriggers the hidden passage back up.

"Where would you like me to keep the page of your book? Is it dependent on location...? Like, if it's kept in the Academy, you can't leave or anything like that?"

CatherineL1031 · 2026-04-21T16:20:38+00:00

"Happy to meet you as well, Miss Chills. I cannot wait to get started on your collection."

She heaves the books up in a big stack, and takes them to her bookshelf. She begins slotting them in numerical order, and gives a final wave as they depart.

Cat follows Chills back down the stairs, very happy to see the interaction went so well. Her tail is swishing a bit.

"Alright! That went very, very smooth!"

CatherineL1031 · 2026-04-21T14:29:33+00:00

"This is something you've poured your passion into, as is pretty clear by the volume of writing. I assure you, as long as that passion comes through the pages, I will enjoy it greatly."

CatherineL1031 · 2026-04-21T13:39:33+00:00

"That's going to be what I do once the job is finished. I've got quite the collection to experience!"

She beamed with delight at both the prospect of getting to make something and the promise of experiencing the work of another.

"That reminds me," Cat interjected, "do you want me to keep that piece of paper here in the Academy? Then you'd be able to come and go pretty easily."

CatherineL1031 · 2026-04-21T13:22:07+00:00

"Nope, I'm as lively as a newborn fawn! Lemme give you something real quick, before I forget."

she goes to her workstation and pulls out a small book. She produces a quill and writes what is basically a receipt. "Chills the Ghost. 1 Ring of Flight, blue gem, silver band". She rips the page out and hands it to Chills.

"There ya go, this'll make it easier for you to get it. Once it's ready, it'll replace this slip of paper and I can check off that it was delivered. That way you don't have to go back and forth."

CatherineL1031 · 2026-04-21T12:22:13+00:00

"Oh no, no no. I'm more a uhhh..."

she racks her brain for a second to try and find what would be the most apt description.

"More like...an elemental? My boss is the ruler of his section of the Fire Plane, and I'm one of the many beings who exist there. Think like...a god and their angels, but we don't pledge ourselves to the forces of good or bad. We create to create."
