[bibeakerbabe]

I supposed reintroductions are in order.

Vidya Everheart.

Queen Under the Mountain, Member of the Unallied Principalities, Informally Exiled to Earth for being better than the others.

I am working in part, though still doing independent contract, with the Wakahisa Group, namely with Black Velvet, though I have some cross share with work for OOPARTS, as a researcher, especially for magical items.

Why? Basically to gain access to the Wakahisa Group's sterling grade group of lawyers, since B.E.A.S.T. management and a new taskforce seems to be trying to find new and creative ways to get around the concept that I have diplomatic immunity since I'm the political head of a sovereign state in Makai (albeit located mostly on Earth.)

The new look is well, due to "outfit policies" with BV.

So is there anything I can help anyone with.

(Also I plan to marry Shiyoko and her mother)

[blackrthanblack]

What. No.

Just because you're Kamala's God Mother doesn't mean I want you to make her her actual mother.

[bibeakerbabe]

Why not, I'm willing to share.

[blackrthanblack]

Monogamy!

And you're a stalker!

[bibeakerbabe]

I prefer to think of it as "Being Aggressively Informed".

[blackrthanblack]

Still, you're a bad influence!

[redderthanred]

Mom, I keep telling you, she is my Mom.

[bibeakerbabe]

Soon dear, but not yet.

[blackrthanblack]

Honey, you can't even tell me how she is.

And no, she's a bad influence.

[redderthanred]

Mom, you don't get to talk about being a good influence and stuff when you want to become a catgirl.

[blackrthanblack]

That's different!

[redderthanred]

Uh-huh.

[morethaneverauburn]

I mean, dear, I'm flattered but I'm probably 3 times your age.

[bibeakerbabe]

I mean that's not actually a deterrent, ma'am.

[morethaneverauburn]

Well, then, I suppose I wouldn't be exactly opposed to a date, dear.

[bibeakerbabe]

Can we set up a time? I'm willing to pay... if you want...

[morethaneverauburn]

Of course.

I know a charming place for the two of us.

I'm good on [Date 1, 2 and 3] and at [So and Such Time].

[bibeakerbabe]

Those work for me, Mrs. H.

[morethaneverauburn]

Excellent.

[becomeanwarrior]

Well. I see you're already causing mischief. Not that I've ever known you to show restraint.

[bibeakerbabe]

Since when do I make mischief?

[becomeanwarrior]

Since literally as long as I've known you?

[bibeakerbabe]

I feel like this is a gross mischaracterization.

... Do you have any advice for dates?

[becomeanwarrior]

I feel like it's pretty par for the course.

...For Hiroshi? Hmm. I could be nice but you're the one selecting Nightmare Difficulty out of the gate. So maybe I'll just let you get exactly what you want.

I just hope you've brushed up on the details of [BLACK DOSSIER], just in case.

[bibeakerbabe]

I apparently can't access that.

So, can you give me actual dating tips?

[becomeanwarrior]

... I see. Hmm. Hmm hmm hmm. Well. I suppose that's your loss. Good luck, Vidya.

I guess what I can say is I wouldn't try and impress her so much as just make a good showing. She is a woman who has everything, so give her time and companionship. A nice quiet place with decent food, nice drinks, and a good atmosphere for conversation, over trying to break the bank on something truly ritzy, but that's my personal take.

[bibeakerbabe]

So nothing particularly important. Just be nice to her. She's picking the place, FWIW.

[becomeanwarrior]

No, nothing particular important. Especially if you're not yet cleared to view [BLACK DOSSIER].

...Ah, hm. Interesting, fair enough.

[bibeakerbabe]

Do you know anything she likes?

Or any idea what's good for May-December romances.

(Though she looks a bit more September than December...)

[becomeanwarrior]

Honestly I've thought that too. I have trouble believing she's my mother-in-law and not just an older sister for Shiroko sometimes.

Offhand? I think I've had my best luck with her with fancy teas. She seems like a real connoisseur, I've had to expand my palate to keep up with her when she's had me over.

As far as May-December Romances, I'm afraid I don't have anything immediately in mind...

[bibeakerbabe]

Fancy teas. Got it.

... Don't you have that lady from Heaven?
