Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
It's early afternoon Aeterna a dual Art Gallery club in Queens New York. Today is one of the rare times that the owner one Contessa Ekaterina Vespucci has decided to grace the nightclub with her presence. There are two levels with paintings on all of them - most for sale behind glass in frames (in case of 'accidents' with alcohol. Kat is in her black pencil form fitting dress showing some cleavage for once. She looks very young despite her 1200 years on the planet. So young she would be carded at her own establishment if she didn't own it (she looks about College Freshman age). She is sitting on a stool near the bar reading a copy of Camille Paglia's "Sexual Personae." An attractive blonde lady is tending bar. Aside from a single bouncer the bar is largely deserted. There are a number of areas to the club this is one is the quiet end. There is a dance floor with a bar and a bar restraunt.

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild comes into the club she's looking at her phone, She looks up frowns when he spots the bar.. checks her phone walks out then back in " Hunh ".. then she looks up and spots the art " ohhhh " Is all she can say " well I am looking for art ".

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
In wanders well a sight for one.. Oddly folks just look at her briefly and go about their business again. That's pretty strange, so is the rather large draft-based centaur now standing just within the entrance... There is a pause, a lash of a long tail and she sidles to the right to clear the entrance. Doesn't want someone slamming into her... Kae looks around the place curiously, then peers at a bracelet she has, grins a bit. "Aaand lets see how this works here..." She mutters....

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
The blonde bartender is the person that Caitlin would encounter first she smiles at the mention of art. "You might want to talk to the owner Kat about that." She points to the girl who could be no older than 20. A cute little thing with cartoonishly large cornflower blue eyes. Kat is still absoebed in her book. For the moment anyway. And then a centaur walks in.

Kat looks up from her book then and at whatever has garnered a reaction in the sparsely populated bar. "Well that's something you don't see every day," she remarks. She might remember this girl from that Raith characters club.

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Looks up and pushes her glasses back up her nose " Yes please thanks " She blinks at the sight of the tiny girl basically around her age she's about to comment when she reminds herself whispering under her breath " Remember you were a mousy girl less than a year ago ". She takes a breath and starts to walk those long legs towards her when she hears something and looks over her shoulders towards the door her eye's going wide!

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
Kae pauses as she looks around, and well a couple folks are giving her stares... She then waves to Caitlin. "Heya again..." She says simply and now looks to the bartender.. Her tail flicks once more and she glances around as she walks toward the bar "Sooo umm, a horse walks into a bar... the bartender asks, Why the long face?" She says and leans forward, her foreshoulder leaning slightly on the bar as she sidles some to take up as little space there as possible.

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
Kat looks at her security - the bouncer just shrugs. That Kat was an immortal mutant was an open secret. A centaur showing up must just have something to do with her - so such things had been normalised here and at other establishments. Kat only glances at Cait in passing as she heads up to the bar. "Haven't I seen you somewhere before with only two legs?" Kat asks the Centaur girl. The barmaid simply does not know how to react and smiles nervously taking a step back.

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Blinks and beams a smile at Kae " Oh hi I was going to see you about the item "hey I was gonna come see you about the item. Buuuuut I thought it might be a little early, so I came to check out some art for my new apartment". She looks at other people and frowns leaning over to whisper only to stop when kat comes across to talk.

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
Kae nods to Kat now "Yup... messup, a big one, made me rathe horse." Yup it's another pun... Kae glances to the barmaid and shrugs again. "Trying to make fun of an awkward situation." She says in explanation. She smiles silghtly and looks back to Caitlin "Figured you'd swing by whenever you're ready. No real hurry on that end." She says, a forehoof lifting before Kae's eye twitches and she sets it down... She then pokes at her lower body "NO random body language please..." She says and gives a sheepish grin.. "Keeping the crazy equine body language things with the hooves is kinda tough at times."

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
"I'm not sure whether this is good for business or bad for business," Ekaterina says rather sheepishly.

"Anybody want a drink?" asks the blonde bartender.

"I do," Kat says without hesitation. A bourbon on the rocks is passed over the bar. "I'm Kat... I own the place. I think I saw you at Thomas Raith's Jazz establishment minus the four legs?" Kat asks Kae.

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Motions for a Drink " I'll have an Incredible Hulk please " She says softly . as she lets the two talks since they know each other she has business, but it can wait for now since the two thing she wants to do are here and talking.

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
Kae nods to Kat "Quite possibly..." She says and shrugs slowly... "I didn't allways have a horse for my legs... this is a pretty recent, and very temporary thing." She says with a grin... "Anyhow, I refuse to let it cause me to hide in my shop." She adds and ummms "Soooo how bout umm, a quart of stout or better yet a good chocolate porter if you have it?" She asks the barmaid...

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
Kat pesters, "I didn't quite get your name - names I should say?" The drinks are delievered forthwith. "Don't worry too much about the strangeness here it's commonplace. I'm a 12oo year old mutant myself. I even have a wikipedia page about me from when I was Holy Roman Empress back in the Dark Ages - Isn't that awesome?" Kat does look quizically over the bar at what is in this 'Incredible Hulk'.

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Smiles as she sips it " I fell in love with this drink at the uni.. even if I wasn't allowed to drink it " She sighs before she takes a sip. And looks over " I'm Caitlin pleasure to meet you! I'm just here for some art for my new apartment .. and.. wha " she jaw opens and blinks " your how old? ? "She fights her geneticist instinct to ask for , but it comes out " Can I have a DNA sample? "

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
Kae oooh's "Kaelyn, name's Kaelyn... " she says, blinking at the 1200 year old remark... "Ummmm, being a mage and all, I'll be lucky to live that long? Some magic users have..." She says and shrugs slowly... "Don't know if I'm quiiiite there yet... " She peers at Caitlin and ummms... "Yeaaaaaah, not a great question to ask folks ya hardly know...."

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
"You can try to take some DNA - my kind of mutant - there are only about 11 of us in total we basically have DNA that degrades almost superhumanly rapidly once it is away from the host. Too difficult to study. Freezing it does not help. We are mysterious by design. Unkillable too. Not that dying is much fun."

"I'm sure there is a spell that would help there with life extension. It's not as interesting as it sounds. I'm sure a journalist would like to have a sit down with me for the History Channel if I went public."

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Slaps her hand on her mouth " I'm sorry old job hard to break " she says blushing with shame " I'm so sorry .. oh well yeah I'd love to check it sometime but yeah. I'm here for art yes art I don't think anybody likes to die " .

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
Kae laughs "Probably so. Most magi don't other enchanting them selves for longetivity, usually just happense naturally.. Though some do.. I guess to each their own." She adds and then a tail lash going with the shrug... She idly starts scratching at an itchy on the inside of her back right leg, using her back left hoof... When done that massive feathered fot sets down with a dull clopping thud as the woman takes a pull on her quart of porter.. killing nearly half of it in a go.... "You know, I should so do what my apprentice tells me and like get in on a food eating contest...."

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
"Don't apologise - I'm curious myself and have dolled out alot of money trying to have my own tissue analysed over the years. I thought it might help people medically but all for naught. You aren't spinning your wheels. As for art well that's my forte - I tend to l;ike classical art Renaissance stuff if that is your jam? I paint it and sell it - at all levels of price and range. If you see anything youy fancy just let me know. I have alot of students keen to sell their work - I teach at the community college in Queens. Art History." She smiles awkwardly at Cait.

"Best choose one's subordinates carefully," Kat says to Kae. "How soon before you are... You again?" Kat asks. "My I am surrounded by redheads which I am a sucker for. Even equine ones. Lucky me." She remarks blushing a little.

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Blushes at the comment before she chews her lap " I don't have a lab.. but I was able to break down and figure out several alien's dna .. I'm pretty sure I can figure something.. but " she sighs " Like I said no lab.. but yeah I'd love something nothing too expensive.. I'm kinda low budget right now " she says sheepishly. She looks to Kaelyn " I also need to buy something from her so yeah " .

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
Kae umms, and smiles slightly "Huzzah for the gingers!" She calls out and her tail lashes once more, Kae then mutters "Sooo not used to this... ya know how hard it is to coordinate this many limbs at times?" She asks curiously, still trying to be as still as she can, though she's subtly shifting weight off of one leg or the other to, concentrating that bulk of hers on 3 legs at a time so as to rest one and stay nice and fresh and whatnot... It's instinct...

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
"You could brook some student art then?" Kat asks, "That's very good and quite cheap. You might make a mint if I can get the studewts to have a 'career' in the artworld and they gain some fame. But you'd have to come out to the college. Not alot that isn't top shelf here I am afraid. On the plus side you'd meet the artists."

"Yes huzzah. I've alway been an admirer from a distance of the redheads. Painted a few. No romantic entanglements with any - malew or female. Even over a millenia. Color me conservative." She looks down at Kae's legs - "So how does /that/ work? Have you tried running?"

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Looks down herself and is curious " i'm guessing the size of your new body is the reason you need so many calories " She wonders " And trying to move with 4 when you had 2 would be odd.. let alone the whole tail bit " She says frowning " And the upper body bit " She sighs " it is alot to think about "

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
Kae ummms "Well torso increased in size somewhat.. Well quite a bit." Kae isn't a grossly out of proportioned taur folks... "As far as moving? Well it's natural... just like you walk and whatnot, the instincts and motor control is there.. Spatial awareness? Knowing where all of me is in relation to other things? That's a different animal... Bulls aint got nothing on me when we're in a china closit.." She says with a smirk "I'm finding my self allways having to remember to be super careful when I turn around as there's well over 8 feet of horse behind my back..." She adds and shrugs... "And of course all me. The tail is wierd, but when I let my self forget about it it isn't bad... When I find my self paying attention to how I move, if I step forward with my left foreleg, my back right works with it... oposite sand all, it's a tiiiiiny bit out of sink too kinda 1 2 3 4, starting with my left, then slightly a bit later, back right, then right front then back left... " She says and demonstrates by walking back and forth, turning and walking again.. "See what I mean? Anyhow, my mind just processes it as if completely normal. WHich is probably a good thing as It'd be hell trying to learn how to do all this from scratch..." SHe then sniggers "As far as other things go, well I've basically got a whole horse, sans head from the waist down eeeveeerrryyyy thing.... I use a small enchantment to maintain propriety... don't want to go flashing folks..." She says with a smirk.

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
"So keen to meet my students? Buy some art?" Kat asks Cait. "I'll even let you see my DNA decay under your microscope if you want."

"Horse daipers?" Kat has to ask. It sounds like a joke but it truly isn't. "Ack. No idea on when this will end? It's strange even for me. I have fond memories of Thomas Raiths fundraiser now."

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Beams " That would be awsome but yeah ummm I will do the dna thing after " she says brightly " when I have proper tools cause if I can even if it decays.. I can use that jsut gotta get it fresh and then study it.. take a snap shot at that moment that's how I broke the Martian dna strand.. they do the same thing "s he says simply . before she looks over and turns pink when she says diapers "Oh my " .

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
Kae oooh's "Well yeah, horse diapers are a thing, but I'm fully sentient and all... Ie I have concious bowel and bladder control and don't feel the need to defecate in the streets." She says with a slight smirk... "IE I can use the restroom, it's just bloody awkward...."

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
"Well like I said you can try. Show up after my class and we can do coffee with my students?" she offers Caitlin. "Might be you like their art."

"I do not want to see or think sbout that - not to be uncharitable. Can you not transform yourself back using the same magic? I have an older sister who might be able to help but she is a little too dangferous to ask."

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild thinks for a moment "I'd hate to meet what a 1200 year old person considers dangerous " She shudders sometimes when your smart too smart it's not a good thing. She nods " I will thanks that would be fantastic , I wouldn't mind something of a landscape and maybe a model bit.. or a old style art but of a super hero " .

Kaelyn Silverleaf has posed:
Kae tilts her head "Honestly? Tons of spells to undo, this is really caused by like over 70 or 80 spells, and yeah I could undo it, but if my calculations are right, I think the magic its self will fade before that happense. And we can add to it, it's kind of fun studying what it's like to being something else, and I think this will help me in the area of transfiguration study..." She says and shrugs "One of the big deals to being good at transfiguration magic is to spend time in another form, something fairly alien to what you were..." She then grins again "I think this qualifies... Also, there's been several other folks affected by the same lil magic 'bomb' as it were. I'm going to get them fixed before I worry about my self... One poor lady turned into an anthropomorphic rein deer, complete with glowing nose.... Another lady turned into a snow woman... Luckily she doesn't melt... Anyhow, I'm gonna wander now, got to get back and see how much mayhem my student and assistants have caused back at the shop... Good night..."

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
"Yes well if you are unlucky you'll meet her. I mean in an official capacity. But lets not dwell on that." Kat waves to Kae. "Okay well that was odd and I have seen alot of odd." She orders another bourbon. Well just asks for one. She's paying for it all after all. "Drinks are on me by the way. Especially if you promise to seriously look at buying my students fine art."

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Smiles brightly " i do really want art that's why I came in here " . she smiles softly " I can't do expensive stuff I don't have that kinda money but I like pretty art and having a bit that's made is well nice.. I kinda love any painting with superman " She blushes bright red!

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
"I met the big guy at a bank robbery in Metropolis you know," Kat says. "Not sure I could get him to pose for a painting though. I could do it - eidetic memeory and all. Not as much fun and kind of unfair for me to paint him."

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild Nods her head " wow yeah I have that curse too it sucks " she sighs and shakes her head " Some things you want to forget .. really honestly wanna forget " she looks a little haunted for a second before she shakes her head and looks over.. She Take sa big drink and gives the face of instant regret for doing that and sticks out her toung " too much "

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
"Well it helps having alot in here," Kat taps her head. "I can just worm my way around to the more pleasant stuff. So you are a scienctist?"

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild nods her head " I was before " She sighs " Still am I guess hard to say when you have no lab or anything.. but I guess it's what i went to school for and got 6 phd's while dabbling in other stuff " .

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
"You were before? What were you doing before? And what seperates the before from the now?" Kat has to ask taking a sip of her drink again.

Fairchild has posed:
Caitlin Fairchild gives a tight smile " Darkness coming to the light " she puts down her drink " thanks for the drink and the talk and I will be back " She grabs one of the cards she even leaves a number to be called it.. " But I gotta go get a magic thing to hide me from the dark .. thanks for the talk! "
