Date: Recent days Location: The Dragon's Drought, one of the tables Characters: @casimirnoctis & @luciliustheforsworn Notes: COUSINSSS

It had only been a few months since he first got acquainted with Casimir, but Lucilius was hoping that any day now they might be truly acquainted. His wayward cousin had long since been told he would be a VIP member in the Lounge, but Luc did not shy away from personally inviting him as often as possible. Luring him in with his favorite drinks, expensive food and games. He wanted to know as much about Cas as possible, hoping that one day he might finally reveal that they were family. And that family, perhaps, should help one another.

"Mmm," Luc hummed thoughtfully, putting down his card and sighing. Depending on how Casimir was at poker, he might have realized that there were many games where Luc had let him win, including this one. "Well, I suppose I owe you a free round." He waved over a staff who then disappeared to prepare the drinks. "In the meantime, you can tell me more of what you've been up to." He smiled. "I fear the well of gossip I have has completely dried up... No one is talking about anything more these days except what happened in Hestia's Cove." Luc would have spent a better part of the night commenting on the drama and telling Casimir how he often attended many of Zagreus' parties, a druid ancestor of the unfortunate Viridians.

"Zagreus," he greeted, coming forward. Lucilius had invited his... friend... over, hoping the other would find the time to come one of the nights they were open. Lucilius was relieved when one of the staff told him that Zagreus had finally arrived. Leaving his office with a warm smile, he only dropped it slightly when he saw the druid. There was something grim in his eyes, like he'd heard all about what had happened to the other's family in the days past. "Please, come in. I have one of the private rooms set up. The staff will bring your favorite drinks."

Date: Recent days Location: Il Cane Nero Characters: @suyinskiss & @luciliustheforsworn Notes: just two mortally grey vampire bards

A tired old building, already vastly improved by the new owner. Lucilius could already tell that Suyin had been working her magic on this place - and that it was going to make waves. It didn't surprise him, as he'd once looked up to her as an example in the Harmonium to follow. It wasn't that he no longer admired who she was, but Suyin had become something less of a faraway icon and more of a friend. Not a mystery, but someone he understood. He gazed around, admiring the decor she'd chosen for the club when he caught the familiar form of the strigoi gliding (literally or metaphorically) towards a backroom.

Lucilius grinned to himself and followed, knocking just twice before entering. "I had to see this with my own eyes... Suyin our new business owner. It becomes you. Congratulations," it sounded genuine and, this time, it was.

Date: Latest plot developments Location: Eterna, we in the big city Characters: @pursuingcorinna & @luciliustheforsworn Notes: From #plot-calls :)

Despite the sense of impending doom, the markets were booming. It was irony at its most hilarious - the 'controlled' chaos brewing in the calm before the storm. No Kossith had made it past Aventia, but many surely believed only time tell would when it happened. As the citized busied themselves stocking up for the unfolding chaos, Lucilius called for charity donations with his associates in the name of his reputable Lounge. Student bards under his employ from The Dragon's Drought played music, dancers danced in the streets and performers announced the Lounge's charity with signs and loud voices. Lucilius made himself busy overseeing the efforts, hands crossed against his chest after he'd subtlety called out an employee for flirting too long with a donor.

He almost didn't notice Corinna until she was right by his side. His forced smile became a little more forced, nearly a grimace. "Ah, Miss Corinna... I hope you are here to donate to the efforts at the Astorian border. I do have to warn you that, due to the charitable nature of these sales, our prices are nearly doubled." He didn't bother hiding the fact that he doubted she could afford a bottle of liquor, or even any of the Lounge's custom Queendom matriotic merch.

Date: Recent days Location: The Tower Characters: @ruyaceres & @luciliustheforsworn Notes: oh hi :)

It was very much on purpose that Lucilius had come to The Tower library that day, and very much on purpose that he came out around the time he knew that Rüya would be done with her business. It was very much on purpose that he made to exit the building slowly up until he realized that she was behind him. On purpose that he turned and feigned convincing shock, smiling with pleasant surprise and opening the door for his 'friend.' "After the lady," he offered her.

It would not have come as a surprise to Rüya that Lucilius came to the Olympian library. He always said that he was studying, and he was, but it wasn't the books he was studying - it was the witches around him. He had given his 'friend' a heartfelt story about feeling closer to the witch mother that he had never known in the Tower library, but all of it was in an effort to continue their good repertoire. He just hoped one day it would pay off... one day he'd know more of what would help him bring this place down.

Date: After the Shadow Play Location: Knight's Nectar Characters: @incubusnero & @luciliustheforsworn Notes: there's my new favorite bear mask cubi

"I've come to pick up my order," he said with a grin, walking in to find Nero working on his stock. Lucilius inclined his head in greeting once the other man turned around, his grin ever present. Only the other day, Lucilius had had the distinct pleasure of working with the amusing cubi for Venerio's play and had truly come to like him. That was one reason he had come to the store again personally.

"Have you heard? Our lovely little play has had great success. Already word spreads all over Lysara about it."
