It's finally time to reap the rewards you've earned from all that hard work collecting and returning the Hope orbs! Be careful walking the streets during the small earthquakes, but feel free to admire the scenery as your beautiful city reassembles its way back into its former glory.

There are new houses where the destroyed buildings once were, and they're perfect for a single person or pair of lovebirds. In addition, you'll find that the electricity to these new houses, and all other homes and shops in the city is restored. The food is better, the monsters are gone- hey, this city might be livable again!

To cap it all off, we've got a feast waiting for you on the 19th! Come one, come all, and enjoy all of your favorite foods, drinks, and party games. It's been awhile since we've all gotten together to celebrate something good, so get your party on and toss all your troubles away!

[Laura's looking hot in a little black dress, but the expression on her face when she sees the demon there. well. . . there's that old saying, "if looks could kill."

she rolls her eyes and decides to bypass the food and friendly conversation for now. she's got bigger problems now. thank fuck for her handy magic ring]

You. [she says in a tone of voice usually reserved for finding dog poop on one's shoe] What're you doing here?

[Caedra learned about that ring, child. Read about it in Laura's very bold network posts. Saw a video of it, even. It's a despicable sort of thing, a ring like that, and she wants to find a way to remove it and kill Laura just to spite her. Death may not be permanent but killing someone who thinks themselves safe has its own satisfaction to it.

Despite all this, she regards Laura coolly, maintaining a neutral expression. If Laura wants to come on over and make a scene, it won't be her fault this time.]

Well, I was enjoying a fine evening with food and drink, like the rest of you. Why shouldn't I? Clearly the powers who oversee this place wanted to welcome me here. The food is absolutely decadent. Oh and look, this one even looks like you, just a little!

[Does it? Well, it's feminine and blonde, close enough, though quickly the little face is dunked in butter and dropped headfirst into Caedra's mouth with a sickening crunch. Fine dining!]

[she also hopes that it read the part where she exposed it to everyone for what it is. now, no one will have the excuse of ignorance. and good luck getting that ring off of her finger. she's never going to take it off--in fact, she has the feeling that it won't let her take it off--and for that matter, she's never going to let herself be within arm's reach of the demon ever again.

who's making a scene? a scene would involve yelling and she's not about to let it goad her into that]

Ha. Ha. Ha. You think you're so big and bad. Yeah, you're real tough, killing someone who's defenseless.

I've killed plenty who were well-defended. It doesn't really make a difference in the end, they all die the same.

[Which is the truth, from her perspective - mostly. She shrugs, swallows the rest of the buglike corpse, and licks garlic butter off her fingers, and then corrects her statement.]

The tougher ones, with more life experience and more to lose tend to have more valuable souls, though. Tastier, too. But quantity is sometimes better than quality.

[She figures Laura is just here to yell at her, to try and vent some anger. That's fine with Caedra, who seems to be more laid-back than usual - perhaps frustratingly so. She refuses to let the child rile her up when she's having such a lovely evening.]

[another eye-roll] That's really deep. Ever think of writing your own greeting cards?

[blech. she is absolutely not looking at those things it's eating]

Yeah, I think I read that written in the ladies' restroom at the Bang Bang Bar.

[she's. not. yelling. she is absolutely not giving it the satisfaction of of pissing her off. contempt and sarcasm, though? those she can do]

[Instead Laura is just confusing the demon from a technological equivalent of several hundred years in the past. She raises an eyebrow because yes if she's going to have a card of course it's handwritten, and what is a - look never mind.]

Do you not have anything better to do right now, girl? Or did these 'gods' not bring you food to enjoy? Perhaps you're the one who is unwelcome here.

[fine, she'll settle for confusion]

I just wanted to drop by and say hi. [she says with a falsely sweet tone of voice. she goes to normal with the rest] And they brought me plenty because I'm very welcome here. Have fun. [but the way she says it makes it sound like a threat.

and with that, she turns on her heel and walks away]
