It's like paradise, spread out with a butter knife :: [OPEN]

Who: EVERYONE
What: Réjean has decided that more people ought to celebrate and help raise a bit of dosh for one of his favourite bars. See: flyer.
Where: The Apache.
When: Misdi night and into the wee hours of the morning.
Warnings: Discussion of Pickman's manky feet.

The Apache is much the same as it always is: dimly lit, with the jukebox playing in the background, and the bartender serving whatever's on tap. Tonight, the bar is packed with people from all across the city, different cantons and cohorts, all out to celebrate surviving the fungal plague. Patrons are encouraged to buy tickets for a door prize with the proceeds going to repair the damage tunnelling ants made to the cellar.

"Je ne parle pas français, et vous êtes un pauvre con." ...she speaks just enough French, arguably.

After a moment, she says, "I'm from Calais, originally. But I don't speak it very well as I used to." Spitefully and deliberately neglecting a language in favour of others will do that, she's found; Robin said something about teaching her, a while ago.

(Of course the parts she keeps are the ones she can use to be argumentative.)

"No one speaks Italian to me, either," she points out, callously unsympathetic to his broken heart.

Hm.

"I've got two more questions, don't I."

Well, it must be said that that scores him points. (It may not be her native tongue, but it is home in a way that English and French both aren't.)

«What do you make of your kind here?» A beat, and then she adds, as though it just occurred to her, «There's a woman here with my face. I told her to talk to you.»

Here in Baedal, not here at the party...though she might come. Who knows! Ilde hasn't seen her yet. Maybe Katherine will come, she'd like that.

Sinners, aren't we all.

His answer suits her, either way; she adds, guilelessly, "You seem to know how things work around here." She has a knack for that twist of perfectly innocent that she probably shouldn't - someone who can lie that well when she puts her mind to it oughtn't be allowed to.

"What are your other talents?" Is that her third question? Sure.

"That was clever," she recalls- she'd liked that, generally in favour of the more creative uses of illusion. (Hers are mostly just keeping white dresses pristine and hiding her own true appearance, but it's always nice to branch out.)

Ilde has to resist the impulse to reach out and poke him in the throat; that's not very polite. (Less polite than grabbing his ass and judging it subpar? Well, apparently.) It is very tempting, though, and her hand twitches before she picks her glass back up instead. "You're a troublemaker, that's what you are."

"For now," she decides, sipping from her drink. There is no end to her curiosity, not really, but she's the patient kind; she doesn't push. She waits, and she watches, and she loves to listen.
