The Quickpad Estate! A grand manor, rivaling that of some noble houses in elegance and grandeur. Many beings are gathered for the event being hosted, the majority wandering the grounds. Several pavilions have been set up, offering shade and places to procure refreshments, and many servants mill about in the crowd. A larger pavilion is set up to provide shelter for the entertainers currently performing, with seating for those interested in watching. As may be expected Carter Quickpad, a large, fit looking jaguar has a small crowd gathered around him. Guests are welcomed as they enter the gates, and those hired as servants or entertainers directed to their proper posts.
Bite giggles as she arrives, stopping to inquire the directions to where she should be, as an entertainer before proceeding to slither her way over there. She stretches and pulls out her throwing knives, checking them before she stows them and waits for a chance to get on stage.
Selena enters the grounds, fairly uninterested by the decadent setting. Noting the presence of the familiar taipan, she paces over and greets her with a wave. "Hey again, Bite." She chuckles. "Interesting to see you again so soon."
Angus gives the greeter a slight nod as he walks through the gates, feeling a bit over dressed once again. The Kitsunes usual attire had been forsaken for something a little more lavished tonight, gone is the familiar weight of his armor as it had been replaced with a rather fetching red tunic, even his usual assortment of weapons have disappeared as he walks through the grounds feeling a little lost.
As the event proceeds the time nears evening. Most of the performers have gone on stage at least once, and several have done multiple performances. Oddly, one servant seems to be wandering the crowd, looking for specific people. He stops, a conversation is held, and the person hurries off toward the manor and the servant moves on. This servant approaches Angus and Selena in turn, then walks over to the performers tent and calls out, "Attention, please! My employer would like to have one of you come and put on a special performance for him and a select few guests. I realize this is quite desirous, so if I could have a brief demonstration from each of you interested, it would be appreciated."
Bite giggles and shows off a tiny bit of her talent, rings of fire appearing at odd places around her as she whips out throwing knives, every throw each knive goes through at least one ring. After a while she stops and bows, giggling to the servant. She doesn't even wait for his okay, she has seen what everyone else has to offer and snickers, proceeding to have them take her to where this special performance is to be held.
Selena nods to the servant, replying an acceptance before she makes her way to the manor, passing Bite as she does. "Always the star of the show, aren't you?" She chuckles, looking a little nervous about the proposition of having the represent something other than herself.
Angus smiles at the servant and gives him a polite nod, he thanks the servant for his message and then makes his way towards the manor. Walking through the doors he notices Bite and Selena, giving them a bow he smiles. "Ladies, it is nice to see you again." Standing back up he falls in line with them, Curious as to what these proceedings where about.
The trio is met inside by another servant, a Siamese cat dressed in an attractive, but practical maid outfit. She leads the way to a study, and follows the group in. Once the three are in the room she locks the door. Looking around the study it's fairly spacious. A large desk dominates the room, behind which the jaguar, Chester, is seated. There are four other beings off to one side, talking amongst themselves. A female duck, a male anole, a male cricket, and a toad. The maid guides Bite to an empty section of the room and murmurs, "For now, if you could perform a soothing song for background noise, or do a small dance, that would be best." She then moves over to hand the key to the door to the Quickpad behind the desk, who says in a boisterous voice, "Please, make yourselves comfortable while I finish up a couple things here! There's wine on the table over there, and pleasant conversation to be had!"
Bite thinks for a few seconds and nods. She pulls out a lute and begins to play, something that won't draw too much attention but will make itself known at the same time. It's background noise after all.
Selena nods, flicking an ear back slightly. "It's a pleasure." She greets, taking a seat at a chair though making no attempt to take any wine from the table. "Good to see you again, Angus." She nods. "May I ask what business you've called me here for?" The wolf asks after giving the Quickpad time to sort his things out, looking a little unsettled by the situation.
Angus picks up a glass of the wine, before he grabs a chair. "What a lively party our host has given us." He states, raising his glass to Chester with a smile. "But I am curious as to what business you are wishing to discuss as well actually." Taking a drink of his wine his gaze roams across the room, taking in the other patrons with a quick glance, before his gaze strays back to their gracious host.
The jaguar smiles at the questions and motions his guests over. "I am terribly sorry for pulling you away from the festivities, but me and my friends here needed reputable witnesses for what we are about to do. And who better than a representative of House Solacious and an esteemed Freesword and representative of Lady Ironsoul?" He pushes a piece of paper across the desk and says, "Me and my four friends here have decided to join together into a trade conglomerate! As soon as this agreement has your signatures, and then mine, it will be official! I must ask forgiveness for the secrecy but not all those out among my guests would be pleased about this news, and would try to disrupt the signing. So if you would be so kind as to place your signatures here? I will, of course, be open to certain considerations in exchange for witnessing this."
Bite giggles softly as she continues, watching the proceedings with a bit of sway. She watches Selena and Angus, making sure they actually look at the document before they do anything.
Selena reads over the contracts, looking rather confused by some of the nuances though figuring them out by the time she reaches the signatures. "...I'll sign, but I'm not exactly the head of our operation." The wolf sighs a little resignedly, taking a piece of paper from her bag. "I'm going to write a quick addenda here. Just so it can't be pinned on me or the defenders if someone doesn't like what happens." She explains, writing out a quick note. "Pardon if it seems unnecessary. I just want to be sure, you see."
Angus gives the contracts a quick glance, but is soon lost in words. looking back up he smiles. "I'll give you my signature as well, but I am curious as to how this could benefit the Solacious house." Glancing over at Selena he chuckles. "I don't think Kilsa will be that mad if you manage to make a mistake."
The jaguar offers no complaints as Selena makes her addendum, and he's positively bouncing in his seat with excitement while waiting for the signatures. A bit of an odd sight from one with his appearance. Once the signatures are applied he takes the contract back and plucks up a quill, placing it to paper and signing his own name. With the final flourish of that quill the study is suddenly plunged into darkness, all the flames in the room and fire mathemagic lanterns suddenly going out.
Bite frowns when the lights go out, quickly managing some fire mathmatics to light what she can, which is apparently the candles.
