I may have taken quite a bit of stuff that didn't belong to me. It's all in [Location]. I'm really sorry about that. Probably a good thing eBay couldn't really work here...

Also, I was diving for sunken treasure (don't ask) in the pool and I found this weird technological device. It looks important. If you're missing it, I didn't leave it in the other room. It's with me.

[Cara]
So sorry for asking if I could sell your paintings. I would never do that. You uh feeling any better? Less like cutting me?

Hey, I know we haven't talked in a coon's age, but how are you? Mermaids have treasures sometimes, right? Any chance you could cut me in somehow? I really need it.

[Cara]

So your paintings are worth like thousands on eBay. You're good with me trying to sell at least a couple, right?

Found a room full of gold. Rumplestiltskin, you hiding in here, boy? that's mine. I've marked the door with my name. It's not yours so stay out, please.

Can we talk about something?

You're safe. You're okay, yes?

I'm so glad we made it out of all of that alive. I love you. Can we get together? My room?

WHO: Meg Masters and Cara Quinn
WHEN:Monday, EARLY morning, before most of the house is awake
WHERE: halls of the first floor
WARNINGS: language, possible violence
SUMMARY: Meg is out sabotaging devil's traps when she runs into someone she thinks she knows.

Squiddy McTentacles is back in the library. Be safe. I'm preparing to take it on so just avoid the library if you can for a bit.

I converted the 4th floor dining room into a pub of sorts. It's self-serve but the music is grand even if the ambience is a bit lacking in spirit. (Can't do much about that one window looks out on some waterfall in the dark 24 hours a day). So come! Drink up, me hearties! Drink up!

[eta a short while later]
Well... you might want to wait a little while. A few hooligans need clearing.


[Cara]
Sure and I tried, love, I tried. Still trying. A little less beer, a lot more knocking about. I found a kilt. And I'm not being mean to the womenfolk.

Oh, wow. I think that I... Oh, wow....

I have wings.

[singing loudly near the billiard room]
Lemme tell you a little story about a man named Johnny Tarr
He was a hard drinking son of a preacher, always at the bar
Lager from the tap or shots of Paddy from the shelf
He could open his throttle and throw backa bottle as quickas the devil himself ... Johnny Tarr!

We're under heavy fire. Insurgents are on the move! Maintain radio silence until further orders!

Riley, she's here. Ari's alive. Oh, dear God, she's alive...
