[[Nobody? Cmon people! Asuka, sadly, isn't really daring to because opening hearts is a big deal for delinquents, unless Raspberyl would come along, so she'll run away if someone notices her]]

Uhm...

*Asuka is standing clse to the area in the east library where the "pow wow" was supposed to be held. She is, however, taking cover behind a bookcase, peeking around the corner. She is looking pretty worried, or scared, or unsure. Maybe all three at once!*

[dr_necromancer]

Orpheus happened to catch Asuka out of the corner of his eye. "Why hello there! You seemed to express an interest in the experience when I told everyone about it. Now would be an excellent chance to gain a deeper understanding of your soul!"

*Beryl hears the conversation from nearby*

Asuka? Oh! you're here to see into your heart too? Awesome!

*She squeaks cutely*

This is soo cool! I thought only dragon eggs were supposed to do that, but hopefully this stuff works too!

*Looks up at Orpheus*

O-oh, I'm sorry! my names Raspberyl! nice to meet you. *She bows*

[dr_necromancer]

Orpheus was pretty sure both of these two were demons (Anything that had an aura that shade of red was probably demonic.), but they acted like no demon he had ever encountered. Regardless, he was the host tonight, and it's not like there was any shortage of demons in the Netherworld. He gave a courtly bow back, "I am Dr. Byron Orpheus, and it is a pleasure to meet you too, Miss Raspberyl. I take it you two are here to go on an inner journey and learn more about your heart?"

[[Uh, kinda a log virgin here, never done this before, be gentle, yada yada.]]

Doesn't this kind of thing usually end up with someone's head splatted all over the ceiling and a daemon rampaging around the premises?

[dr_necromancer]

[['s cool, although in my experience Logs are generally written in third person. Just an FYI.]]

Orpheus gave the Commisar a kind of strange look, but went ahead and explained in a comforting tone of voice "That really only happens if you try to contact a demon without taking the proper precautions. This is completely different. Nothing is coming in here but what you bring in yourself."

[[DAMN THAT OTHER LOG D:]]

Cain looked skeptically at one of the dixie cups. "I suppose that given where we are, another demon or two won't make much difference." He did his best not to think about all the things he had inside his head. In any case, the stuff smelled damn close to Tanna. "How long does it last?"

Orpheus stood taller, and the world around him seemed to darken momentarily, if Cain had been more aware of the 4th wall, he might have heard dramatic string music playing in the background, "While delving into the darkest corners of your soul, the flow of time becomes inconsistant, and the consciousness can become LOST IN THE EDDIES OF TIME!"

Oh my, master of the arcane mysteries, your brew is one which has never bubbled into my ears, and why... enlightenment you say? Though I will not yet subscribe to your newsletter, I am at least curious at this too-good-to-be-true offer. Who knows what mysteries of the tapestry may be unfurled before me.

I wish to partake!

[dr_necromancer]

Orpheus put on what he thought of as his friendly salesman/host face, "Of course, there is still plenty left, Miss...?"

"My name is Elizabeth, welcome to the--" Oh, why, she wasn't in the Velvet Room...

[velvetassistant]

"My, just where am I and how did I get in here? Oh, yes, I was out looking for a new tea pot when I saw the most delightful insect, with a fuzzy body and powder puffed wings, before I... hmm... what happened then?" Her brow furrowed momentarily. "Yes, yes, then my olfactory senses perceived the unique aroma of your free sample of tea."

A single book fell off of a nearby bookshelf.

From the gap left by the book, a strange pink noodle-like shape emerged. Then, in a feat of impossible contortionism, or possibly non-euclidean geometry, the rest of Guu wiggled its way through the gap, until she came all the way out and landed on the ground in a heap.

After about five seconds of inactivity, she got up as if nothing had happened, paused ominously, then turned to face Orpheus.

"Yo."

[dr_necromancer]

It was that...that thing again! While it may have APPEARED to be a little girl, Orpheus's finely tuned supernatural senses revealed something of it's true nature, and the more Orpheus saw, the more alarmed he became. "G-G-G-Guu! H-Hello there, w-w-what brings you to this gathering?"

[deadpandevourer]

Gui responded to Orpheus's question by looking at him silently for several seconds, then walking over to peer at the dixie cups.

"What's this?"

[dr_necromancer]

Orpheus was eager to end this conversation as quickly as possible, but didn't have high hopes. "It's a special kind of tea. It should allow the drinker to go on a spirit journey and commune with their inner self."
