Ceria-Day One

"All I know is that he's alive, and that his name, or the family name, starts with an M."

"Is he the elf of your parents? Maybe I... know someone. Who might be able to help."

((Hope you don't mind! : ) ))

"Drow go there too, you know. It's just a little rare, considering...
Circumstances." Kaley says. "You'll want to get whatever is your best.
If you need new clothes, I've got a rather large bank account at your
service." She turns to Earan. "Hey, death boy! You need dressy clothes,
or are you good?"

"Yes, but please, I need to find him myself." He turns to Kaley, saying: "I have money, if need be."

Eda nods, running into one of the few rooms of the house. Her parents follow, hesitantly.

"I understand, then. Remember though, if you ever need help, call me!" She winks, and follows Eda out. The other ghosts each follow a different family member.

"Okay, good. You'll want to get something good, because we're meeting with the highest man in the city at six." Kaley starts dialing her cellphone with magic again, and calls a few people. "Yes, yes, I need it by five forty. Yes, you heard that right. Five forty. You'd better do it. Okay, good." She hangs up.

"Can I borrow your phone?"

"You'll need me to dial it, it's got no buttons. My own design. Number?" She asks.

Eda comes out holding a patched grey dress that had probably once been green, but now was so old as for the color to have washed out. Her father came out holding a brownish suit in not much better condition, and her mother held a dress that although it was not yet colorless, was patched.

"Yeah. 888-962-3333. Also, I could get you guys something?"

The phone starts dial. "No need. I'll call someone to get stuff for them when you're done. Not like I've got much use for all this money anyway. You want a better house while I'm at it? Actually, hell, let's get something better for all these elves. I mean, you managed to produce a Nature focus, so you deserve something." She says, as if offering to spend a few thousand dollars on people she didn't know at all was easy.

((Yeah, Kaley's got Money.))

The phone is heard to ring twice, and a female voice picks up. "Xavier Enterprises, may I ask who is calling, please?"
"This is Earandil. Access my personal accounts, I need some new, fancier clothes."
"Yes Sir, right away."
He hands Kaley the phone, looking embarrassed.

Eda's parents look at her, stunned.

"Heh. We'll talk later." She says, grinning. She dials again, and starts talking. "Hey, Susi, I've got a few people I'd like you to do for me. Yeah, yeah, I know your rates. I've got em recorded. I need it today. Before six. Yeah. Before six. Good, knew I could count on you. See you in a bit, Susi." She dials again. "Hey, I'm the girl who fixed your mag lifters a couple weeks back. Yeah. I've got a job for you. How's the main elven area of the city sound. Yeah. It's big. I know. I've got money. How's ten or twenty k sound? No? Thought so. Two hundred. Thousand, Jacky, two hundred thousand. Breath, girl. Breath! Can't pay you if you're out of air. Yeah, I want it good. Thanks, Jacky." She says, and hangs up. "Well, that was surprisingly easy. Money does have its power, I guess. I'm sure the elves will be happy in a few weeks."

HEr parents stumble back, amazed. "You.... Why... What?"

She grins. "When you're the most powerful tech currently known to exist, you can make a lot of money. I mean a lot of money."

"Money is evil," Earan said, clearly embarrassed at his own position.

"Nah, if it were evil, I'd be the worst person alive. I guess I am if your my enemy, though." She grins again, as a knock is heard at the door. "Ah! That must be Susi! She's fast!" She runs and opens it, to reveal a woman in a dark red dress, way out of place in this part of the city. Behind her is a trailing entourage of camera men, assistants, and assorted drooling followers. Her dress accentuated her already rather attractive features perfectly, and she almost radiated power. She wore the power well, too.

"Ah! Kaley! Been a while. I like what you've done with your hair, almost perfect!" She looks at the other four. "Are these the ones?"

Kaley points at Earan. "He's got something already on it's way, but the other three are all yours." She says, and turns to the others. "Be nice and let Susi do her work. She is the best." The camera men's cameras start to short circuit.

Eda takes one look at the crowd of people, pales, and flees back into the other room.

"Hey, my name is Earandil," he said, obviously hitting on her.

Eda is picked up gently by a tendril of shadow, and carried upright to Susi. "Aren't you the cutest little thing! I think maybe something blue, or red. Maybe black, with a bit of care." She says. She hands a card to Earan. "I'm working now, babe, call me later and we'll see about a spin. She walks in, and starts to give orders to the assistants. They start getting her materials, fabrics of all kinds, and she gets to work.

"Should be interesting." Kaley says.

"I love a challenge. Let's see..." Susi starts listing off colors and lengths, the assistants scrambling to get them.

Earandil blinks, then mutters about people with money, as a knock is heard on the door.

"Eep.." Eda glances around frantically for an escape.

The woman sets her in a chair, and with a voice of authority tells her "You sit still while I get your proper measurements. Don't want you being uncomfortable. Something a little plain, I think. You'd look good in blue, definitely."

Kaley answers the door, as the normal occupants are rather.... occupied!

A woman dressed in business wear stands in the doorway. "I'm here to deliver Earandil's new outfit?"
