Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 6:05:22 AM)
*the interior of the restaurant was painted a soft orange and lit to show off the high ceilings and planter boxes suspended over the diners. One wall is all windows, giving a view of the garden and porch outside with the tables arranged to dine. The upstairs room is closed off both by the locked door at the staircase behind the Greeter, and by Cas' direct presence in the small dining area glassed off from the rest of the room. The balcony has a view of the herbs and vines in the suspended boxes*

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 6:10:00 AM)
*the staff are starting to clean up, only a couple tables left in use..and those mostly talking and enjoying drinks until the waitresses point out the hour. Cas has the books with her upstairs, rather than in her little office, and she waited there to meet Ceilidh after Isabel's call*

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 6:10:37 AM)
Having sat downstairs towards the end of closing Ceilidh makes her way up with Cas once things have been closed, not trying to rush her at all, just letting her take her time. She has a pair of ruby red tights under a thigh length black skirt and a cream cardigan over it all, with a rainbow hued scarf wrapped around her neck to top it all off. "Sorry if I'm in your way at all Cas..."

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 6:13:38 AM)
*looks up and recognizes the girl she crashed into at the market* Oh! *a wide grin* Well hello there. No candy apple today? *shuts the books and shoves them aside, reaching to pull a chair over so Ceilidh can join her*

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 6:15:14 AM)
A pause and then just shaking her head. "You!" A look of horror before holding her bag to her. Its pulled off surprisingly well before a giggle and moving over to take the seat. "I'd almost forgotten your coupon card ... till today."

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 6:16:54 AM)
*giggles back* Well frick. Guess we know each other sort of. I'm Cas. *offering her hand* I remember buying you a new apple..but I don't recall if I introduced myself. Typical eh?

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 6:19:57 AM)
"Mmm ... well, I think we're equal, I'm Kaylee." Accepting her hand and shaking it lightly. "Though I should maybe get cards printed just so people know how to spell it."

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 6:23:16 AM)
(is of course..very warm to the touch) *smiles warmly* Oh? How's it spelled then? Oh right.. I gave you the entree card. So, you've got my name.. *laughs* Must have introduced myself.

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 6:25:13 AM)
"C. E. I. L. I D. H. Its a scottish gaelic word, something about public dances, they apparantly still happen. Crazy spelling, but I guess thats a gaelic thing too." Moving to take out her purse, opening it up and flicking through a collection of dinner discount cards before stopping. "So you did!"

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 6:28:45 AM)
I remember you being pleased I'd used the backs of my cards. *smiles* So.. *rising briefly to lock the door at the top of the steps* Business. Cassandra Brimley, Akashayana Li Hai, Roda d'Oro.

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 6:30:11 AM)
Ceilidhs pupils go a little blank before finally. "Second time and for someone who doesn't have a clue about the rest of that ....?"

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 6:31:28 AM)
*she laughs* Right. English it is. Where shall I start?

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 6:32:23 AM)
"Well, you said business ... so I'm guessing you just told me mage stuff in an introduction. Mines easier. Kaylee Bain. Witch... there, done."

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 6:35:15 AM)
*Grins* Good guess. And nice.. I like it. Alright, you heard about Traditions yet?

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 6:37:08 AM)
"Mmm yeah, I know about you all. I'm figuring..." A pause and her brain starts to replay the series of information back in her head before finally. "The martial arts guys..."

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 6:38:09 AM)
Akashic Brotherhood. *she nods* We call ourselves "Akashayana". *saying it slower this time* Like Navajo are Dine' if you ask them. *chuckling*

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 6:39:27 AM)
"What does the last part translate to in english? Family or something?" Gazing at her and trying to take in little details cause she finds those are often the most important.

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 6:43:56 AM)
((Across the globe from her books..is at a loss! lol)) It's a reference to something else, long story. *the tinted shades hiding her bright orange eyes, even here, Cas' long hair is tied up carefully, only a few stray blue tips poke out at odd angles from the knotted bun high on her head. She's wearing a white hoodie with a fanciful orange chrysanthemum design stencilled on her left side..as if it were a kimono print. Beneath it, her attire is more business-like. Fitted slacks in a dove grey, with a matching knit shrug, and a pale blue cami that pulls the color from her hair's tips*

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 6:45:59 AM)
A stark contrast to Ceilidh's then, though given her tights and the like she -might- have come out of a show. That or well, she simply does like dressing interestingly. "So ... where do we go from here business wise? That seems like an aweful waste for locking a door."

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 6:47:53 AM)
*chuckles* Well, maybe it is. Isabel wanted us to meet. Do you know why?

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 6:49:01 AM)
"Mmm, well, she seemed to think I was a lot like someone else she knew. Well, maybe until I gave a potion to a friend and made her look more like me than themselves.

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 6:55:15 AM)
*tilts her head* I wonder. *slipping into a meditative focus with absurd ease, she opens her senses and primescans Cailidh..maybe there was a reason for the locked door after all!* ((5sux meditation, 2 sux primescan))

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 6:59:46 AM)
Ceilidh watches her curiously, noticing and feeling the magic seeping off Cas. "Always feel like I'm going in for a cat scan when its like this..."

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:00:28 AM)
*quirks a smile* Sorry, I'm not much for the flash bang stuff.. if I can avoid it.

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 7:03:35 AM)
"Mmm ... its okay. I'll make up for it for you." Giving her a teasing smile back and gazing into her potion to see that nothing broke in her purse.

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:06:34 AM)
*releasing her concentration* Well, since I don't think you can return the favor. I'll be fair about it... I ah, have two settings, if it helps. Like a busted remote control. Scan and Stop.

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 7:07:39 AM)
A quirk of an eyebrow at her. "Is that all you can do? That sounds like such a waste ...."

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:07:56 AM)
Doesn't it just? *a wry chuckle* I'm working on it. But it takes time.

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 7:09:58 AM)
"Well ... hmm, alright. When you think of a witch and what they can do, what springs to mind for you?"

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:11:10 AM)
Fly on a bromstick. *smiles* Always liked Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:11:33 AM)
((broomstick even. Yay typos))

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 7:12:29 AM)
"Tick, first box." Moving to lift a finger and smiling at Cas in amusement, leading her on.

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:13:51 AM)
Traguna macoities tracorum satis dee. *chuckles* Umm.. Turn people into animals?

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 7:14:41 AM)
"I sorta can, but not very well ... potions. Its only temporary, with my cauldron's."

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:15:18 AM)
Same problem Angela Lansbury had. *nods*

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:15:54 AM)
Anything else?

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 7:17:59 AM)
"Umm ... very basic hexing and good fortune for people." Shrugging a little. "I think its all the herbs and things I hold onto."

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:19:58 AM)
Nothing quite so handy as a little luck. *she smiles* Neat set you've got there.

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:21:17 AM)
But yeah.. um. *a bit more self-consciously* What have you heard about Akashics?

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 7:22:10 AM)
"Not much, you're the ones who do martial arts things and are good with your bodies?"

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:23:51 AM)
Hah. *she grins* You've already seen how coordinated I am. *laughs a bit* And I would be slightly more dangerous while wielding a frying pan than your average mouse.

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 7:25:26 AM)
"Alright ... so people break the exceptions all the time?" Quirking an eyebrow at her. "Well, isn't that the normal thing?"

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:26:30 AM)
Just mean, I'd have to pick up the frying pan to be at all threatening. I'm not a martial artist.

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 7:27:06 AM)
"You're not? Umm, so why are you an akashic then? I thought that was their big thing..."

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:29:12 AM)
The rest of that introduction.. Li Hai, Roda d'Oro? Boils down to, it's my job to see things differently than the rest of the Brotherhood.

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 7:31:21 AM)
"They have people specifically for that? Huh ..." Grinning as if the idea is amusing and shaking her head a little. "Well ... thats sorta cool."

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:32:52 AM)
I thought so too. *giggling a little* And really, I don't fit the mold of the standard warrior, or monk, or numbers-cruncher or mystic.. The Li Hai were the ones who'd at least find a use for me. *grins*

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:33:52 AM)
*wrinkles her nose* And BOY do I see things differently.

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 7:34:28 AM)
"So ... what do you do then, if you're of their tradition and don't do anything they do? I mean in this city and in general."

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:36:33 AM)
Oh I still have a few things in common. I did learn from the same teachers after all. But mostly, the Akashic here are happier if I keep my distance. So I have time for my restaurant and my ..friends. You know about Cabals?

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 7:37:48 AM)
"Sure ... pretty much just a fancy word for a group of people you hang out with..." Smiling to her lightly. "I'm different but not -that- different."

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:39:51 AM)
Isabel didn't know much about the terms and groups when she met up with us. Just wasn't sure how much exposure you'd had. *she nods* Anyway, yeah. I'm in a cabal with Jareth, Aislinn, and Isabel.

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 7:41:25 AM)
"I know Isabel, Aislinn she said was a witch like me ... though that I sorta doubt. And Jareth, yeah, I've met jareth, he makes a pretty good fried rice."

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:43:01 AM)
She's not like you..*a divot marking her brows as she tries to put the differences she saw into words* She's more..intuitive, less formulaic? And mine's better. *grins unabashedly*

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 7:46:30 AM)
"Yeah well, you own a restaurant, I'd be really worried if it wasn't. Next time I come, totally remind me to eat in. And I suppose you're right in some ways, making a potion is a formula, but thats as much the art and pleasure in it. Being formulaic isn't -always- bad.

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:48:12 AM)
I didn't mean to imply either way had a flaw to it. *shaking her head with an easy smile* Just a different way of thinking.

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:48:49 AM)
Or doing things..if you will.

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 7:49:00 AM)
(while i'm enjoying this, would you mind if we pause? nearly 2am, we can restart it at this another day soon or a new scene if we dont manage to catch up?)

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:49:30 AM)
((lol new scene is fine, that way we're not holding. ANd of course, I don't mind. Go sleep hon! lol It's 2pm here.))

Ceilidh Bain (Feb 17, 2011 7:49:46 AM)
(hehe, thanks, sorry about that, its just starting to hit me)

Cas Brimley (Feb 17, 2011 7:49:51 AM)
((Sleep well!))
