	Well that depends on what town you're in. I'm in Chicago and I know right where to get one. Well... I know where the place is back home, might not be quite the same here, I should find that out before I go recommending it to random strangers. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Mm, I operate out of London, de land of 'boil and fry everything to no flavor or color.' I could probably just take a few jumps back to America. Et where's the adventure in dat? You might need a second opinion on de food, no? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's a very good point all 'round. And I do like some adventure. Adelia, Adelia Van Helsing. The third. Late of Chicago, right off gourmet row, shouldn't be hard to find the place that I remember from home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A very elegant name, Adelia, for a lovely face. Remy LeBeau, from N'Orleans, transplanted to London. Findin' a portkey is easy enough, what time shall I swing by to offer my services as a culinary guinea pig? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've always thought it was kind of clunky, at least all of it, I don't mind the first part, and I've got the early shift at the Resting Arms on 14th, get off around one, local time, so if a late lunch works for you c'mon by. If dinner'd be better make it 7. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	With de influx of names like LaShawynDra, yours is refreshing. I'll come by closer to seven den. I'm in de middle of a mind-numbing meeting all afternoon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marvelous, I'll be there with bells on. Maybe even literally. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knaveofhearts 2010-01-26 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	Well, now that sounds like even more fun! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	i_haz_a_raven 2010-01-26 08:10 pm UTC (link)
	Well then you'd better just come by my place first instead, that way I won't bother any of the rest of the staff with the chiming. [townhouse address] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll bring something over equally as delicious to drink while we make sure none of the bells are tragically overlooked. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Why not hop a portkey back home? It's not like it's oh so hard. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	knaveofhearts 2010-01-26 04:24 pm UTC (link)
	True, but why go easy on London. If dey're so metro et modern, dey should have a decent greasy spoon with an old lady belting out gospels in slippers while ladling out the food. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Man, you KNOW we got one of those just behind Guildhall, why you gotta do things the hard way, Remy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She threw her shoe at me. I apparently am not allowed back until I replace it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tatsandwaffles 2010-01-26 05:16 pm UTC (link)
	You should probably go on and do that. Practical ones, though. No diner lady ever wears heels. Anyway, I don't think Maria's cankles would agree with anything that had heels on it. I still haven't found a good place to eat in London that didn't start with "My cousin/sister/aunt/mom-in-law makes this amazing..." So you know. Good luck with that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knaveofhearts 2010-01-26 05:20 pm UTC (link)
	No heels, hopefully something with a soft sole in case she actually lands a throw. Merci. I might just give up et portkey all my nutrition over here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tatsandwaffles 2010-01-26 05:23 pm UTC (link)
	That and it'd be more cozy for her in the back there. She already sweats like mad, don't need her feet to be sore on top of it. And from what I've gathered? She really likes the color green. I brown bag it when I have to go up there to work. Dunno how the natives managed to live for 1500 years on mush and meat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Green et cushy, just need to pick between de ol lady feathers or rhinestones for the top. Lookin' at de big heads et bad teeth, I'd say not very well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tatsandwaffles 2010-01-26 05:39 pm UTC (link)
	Knowin' her? Both wouldn't be a bad bet. Serious. Then again, my forebears were Irish, can't say much for their vittles, either. The booze, however? Top notch. So other than your lawyerin' and usual philandering ways, what's been keepin' you busy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hm. Good point.

Got to have something to wash de taste away with. Mebbe it's all de rain. Makes you want to pickle your brain as fast as possible.

Surprisingly more of the first than anything else. I could probably charm a jury into acquitting Freddy Krueger, et sometimes, the ol' skills are useful in this job.

How's juggling the work, business et baby out there?

Yeah, I bet you make a good defense. And what's this? No romantic interests? What is this, the twilight zone? Have you gone off your game, sparky?

Fuckin' a, man. Henry's doin' good in school, the Jobs are doin' pretty good, since Petit won't save me any of the good ones, only the ones where she KNOWS shit's cursed. And the shops are pretty well off, gettin' more business this year than last. On top of that? My little sister showed up. Dunno if I told you about her. Probably not.

She's a little shy around guys. Good reason for it, too. But she's opening up to our resident elf, and me, so it ain't all so bad. I think she just needs more positive reinforcement, y'know. Meet good guys who won't hurt her.

Sparky, huh? I'll have you know, pup, I still enjoy the lovelier things from time to time. Just haven't found one recurring yet.

Sounds like Petit through et through, probably claims it's to keep you on your toes. Wouldn't be surprised if she practices a Puppetmaster laugh when she'd alone.

Didn't hear about her, is the good reason still alive? I think, with your family around, she'll probably learn a few tricks on taking care of herself pretty soon.

Still worries me that the epitome of southern charm might have fallen off the ride.

You give her too much credit - she doesn't wait until she's alone to laugh her laugh of wickedness.

If he is, he's not here, and if he's here, he won't be for long. She probably doesn't know it, but she's made some pretty dangerous friends. Dangerous for anyone who hurts her, that is. And I'm making sure she does. Henn's teaching her some stuff, Zev's teaching her others. It's times like this that the old saying "It's more than a Guild," comes to mind.

	PFT. Firmly in the seat, just not 'seducing everything within earshot' as it's been said. Which makes you wonder then what does she concoct up when she is alone. Damn straight. We know the hiding places no one would think to look for and how to make the best forgeries of anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tatsandwaffles 2010-01-26 07:10 pm UTC (link)
	If that creep does show up, I think I'm going to point a rather handsome elf his way. I don't know what the guy looks like, but I'm sure Michelle'll tell us. You gunna be around for the monthly dinner? That'll be end of the month, as usual. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is that a food? It sounds like something the Chasind would eat. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	knaveofhearts 2010-01-26 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	Is very much a food, nice hot and spicy rice porridge wit' crawdads blackened and grilled. Are the Chasind Arcadian? Might explain it a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	witchofthewilds 2010-01-26 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	I have no idea what a 'crawdad' is, but spicy food does have its appeals. The Chasind are superstitious barbarians that live in the wilds and create outlandish tales to explain anything their tiny brains cannot comprehend. (Reply to this) (Parent)
