GLoG XXXIII: Do you think you can handle it?

[Lex-Kat]

Only Vidalia is here and active, at the moment.


Lex is in her cell, but will only undeadtime if someone goes to her.

[Jacklu]

Tia smiles and slips the offered shirt on. Thanks. I got surprised by a bot carrying a bucket of water. That kind of thing... happens a lot to me. Oh, you can look now Alex.

[Reinholdt]

One of the catgirls comes into the pool area. Lots of people here. Some of them may find the lack of shirt and collar somewhat familiar.

"Excuse me, ma'ams and sir. Are any of you Vidalia, DarkComet, or Nikolai ma'ams, sir?"

[The Bushranger]

Quinn undeadtimes, and - guess what - heads for the Detention Wing!


Alex looks back at Tia and smiles. Thanks. You'd think I'd be kinda used to that considering my ancestry... He chuckles a little self-consiously, and nods in greeting to Vidalia, whom he hasn't previously met. How are you ladies today?

He raises an eyebrow at the catperson but shakes his head.

[Darkcomet]

DC, who is very much a 'sir' and not a 'ma'am' (>.>), is reading the bulletin board.

One could guess his reaction is 'shocked' from his expression.

[Neon Knight]

Corentin, who is also reading the bulletin board, glances at DC. "...It's sad."

[Lex-Kat]

Vidalia smiles at Alex and Tia. I am Vida... lia? She turns and looks slightly bewildered at the shirtless catgirl. I.... I don't have an extra shirt for you.

[Jacklu]

Ancestry? Tia looks over at the catgirl when she mentions Vidalia.

[Darkcomet]

Corentin, who is also reading the bulletin board, glances at DC. "...It's sad."

DC just nods silently without even turning to Corentin.

[Neon Knight]

Corentin goes to find Vidalia, standing back when he sees that the catgirl has already found her.

[Reinholdt]

Not topless. Missing shirt. Minor difference.
As in there's still something covering the naughty bits.

"I have a letter from you from the recently deceased 34126 ma'am. Also known as Butler B. Butler ma'am." She holds an envelope, but doesn't offer it right away to keep it from getting wet.

[The Bushranger]

It was noted that the catgirls are wearing underclothes, as I recall.


Anyway, Alex smiles at Vidalia. Alexsandr Russkij. But please, call me Alex. He then chuckles softly and nods to Tia. My great-grandparents, especially, were...and are...rather, well, infamous when it comes to Public Displays of Affection. And semi-public displays that continue further than mere affection...

[Lex-Kat]

Vidalia blinks. Then blinks again. Butler?________Recently deseased?

Vidalia stumbles back a pace, then suddenly falls to her knees.

[Reinholdt]

The catgirl looks down.
"Yes ma'am. There was a complication with his surgery ma'am. He didn't make it ma'am."

[Neon Knight]

Corentin goes over to kneel by Vidalia.

[Jacklu]

Tia is about to respond to Alex when Vidalia reacts. She quickly moves to her side. Vidalia!

[Lex-Kat]

Didn't.... make it? Vidalia puts her head in her hands and begins to cry.

[Neon Knight]

Corentin tries to hug Vidalia comfortingly while leaving room for Tia to also comfort her.

[Reinholdt]

Generic catgirl messenger nods quietly and says nothing.

Catgirl 2 runs into DarkComet looking at the bulletin board. "Hello sir. You wouldn't happen to be Nikolai or DarkComet would you sir?" No, she doesn't know Vidalia has been found. She just supposes Vidalia would be a girl.

[Jacklu]

Tia cautiously places an hand on Tia's shoulder. She doesn't know who Butler is, or what he meant to Vidalia, but she knows that the woman is hurting terribly.

[The Bushranger]

Alex, not having met Butler, doesn't quite understand what's going on, but he does climb out of the pool with a worried expression, looking like he's wanting to help.


Quinn, meanwhile, heads into the Detention Area finally and looks at Lex sadly.

[Darkcomet]

The second.

He doesn't turn to face her either.

[Lex-Kat]

{Pool}

Core... Corentin, please read..... the letter. Vidalia tries to say between fits of crying.

++++++++++++++++

{Lex's Cell}

Lex is awake, eating some pudding.

[Reinholdt]

[Kitchen]
She glances at the board. He appears to have gotten the news.
"I have a letter here for you from him sir."

[Neon Knight]

Corentin nods, and stands to take and read the letter.

[Darkcomet]

DC finally turns to face the catgirl, and will take and read the letter when it's handed to him.

[The Bushranger]

[Pool]

Alex stands by awkwardly, torn between wanting to give them some privacy to grieve and wanting to help provide comfort.


Darn that white-knightly consience....



[Detention]

Quinn, after a moment, steps forwards. Hello. Lex, right?

[Jacklu]

Tia moves to wrap her arms around Vidalia while Corentin speaks.

[Reinholdt]

Letters are handed off and read.

[Pool]

Dear Vidalia ma’am,
It was a real pleasure meeting you Vidalia ma’am. Even when dealing with that mean Jaren who ate us Vidalia ma’am. You and Decker were the two best people I ever met Vidalia ma’am. I really am happy you found another butler that pleases you more Vidalia ma’am. I hope you and him have a great life together Vidalia ma’am. I love you Vidalia ma’am.

Butler B. Butler

[Kitchen]

Dear Comet sir,
Thank you for being my best friend sir. Even after I hurt you because of those psychics sir. You were always there protecting me sir. You’re one of the kindest persons I ever met sir. Be good to Decker and Vidalia sir. They care for you greatly sir.

Butler B. Butler

[Neon Knight]

Corentin reads the letter aloud exactly, then stares down at the paper once he's finished.
