Various drinks and confectionery line the table off to the side, and the entire estate was seemingly wiped and cleaned to perfection for the event. Sweet aromas of cookies, bacon strips, cake, several kinds of tea, fine wine and other delicious odors waft throughout the air, a few mutants already enjoying themselves here and there, idly conversing with a drink or a snack in hand.
Meanwhile the host was near the main door, idly conversing with a well dressed feline about the upcoming addition to the city. The place seemed mostly peaceful for now, and the coffers empty... though the event had only just started. Both Otto and his housekeeper paid close attention to the door, routinely coming out to check for new arrivals.
Michi made his way up to the door, wearing a nervous smile of anticipation as he made his way past the first door, and stepped up to the second. The husky took a moment to look down at himself and his outfit, frowning a bit and adjusting a few of the items. "I knew I should have made a suit long ago." He mutters to himself, but finally lifts his hand to knock at the door. Pulling in a comforting sharp breath, he waited for an answer, his tail wagging just slightly with excitement.
Ebreus strolls down the stairs to the foyer as the event begins. Wearing his formal suit for the occasion he looks over those who have already arrived. He smiles noting the host and housekeeper are present for the event. He makes his way to one of the table and loiters out of the way.
It was the feline, of all people, who answers the door, moving in to open the heavy portal, swinging it open and flashing Michi a smile, clearly identifying him. With a light bow, he gestures towards Otto, the hound already on his way to wrap his arms around the husky. "Hi sunshine!" he greets, his tail wagging behind him. "So glad you could come! Please make yourself at home, grab some snacks, mingle if you'd like!" the hound cheers and leans in to peck that cheek. "Oh! You're here about the school, right? How great is that! It's so close-by! You won't have to make that damnable commute any more!" His glance snapping away from Michi for a moment, Otto gives Ebreus a wave and a nod, not sure why he'd dressed so formally, but hey! Anyone looks good in a suit!
The nekomata, Maya, has a small suitcase she wheels behind her as she walks up to the school's opening. She's dressed primly, her outfit and demeanor showing her to be a librarian. She wears a black waistcoat, black slacks, a white vest, horn-rimmed glasses, and her white hair done up in a bun. She purrs lightly as she approaches the door. "This is for the school opening, correct? I wanted to make a donation from my collection of the Clairmont University Library."
Harold is the one who answers the nekomata, the sharply dressed feline looking quite pleased to see another. He silently nods and gestures towards Maya to come right in and directs her towards Otto, who was still chatting with Michi about things. Closing the door behind them, the housekeeper returns to his duties, offering snacks and refills to folks in the room.
Michi gives the feline a nod in greeting. "Hello Harold, n-nice seeing you again." The husky giggles at the hug though, "Y-yep, really glad this project will be going forward." His tail was wagging more now, "F-figured I better show up...you know be present, network and all that." Rubbing his nape, he nods at Otto. "Right." He glances over to the Nekotama who enters. "Hello, nice to meet you." He gives her a warm, if slightly sheepish smile.
The lone bookshelf on the wall swings open and a curvey bunny steps out. He's wearing cut off jeans and a black, sleevless hoody that also is cut off to reveal his midriff. He stretches his arms above his head before opening his eyes. He blinks in confusion as he scans the foyer. His eyes fall to the hellhound. "Baaaabe. Who are these people? Why are there snacks everywhere?" He says as he goes to a table and grabs a handful of snacks without missing a beat. He nods to the husky. "Hey Michi. How's it going?"
Ebreus watched from his position as more people arrive. He snatches a morsal off the table and moves over to the group. "Hello." he greets. Seeing Otto hug Niles he grins, "Guess you two are familiar with eachother." he says,
Otto snickers and nods, then looks over towards Maya. "Hello there! Welcome to Arborwatch. I'll be with you in but a moment!" Otto raises one finger to ask her to wait, then moves over towards Ebreus. "Wow, more folks showed up than I thought, Eb... Pretty crazy eh? Like the suit, but you're a touch overdressed. Heh~" he mutters quietly as he grabs oe of the cookies within reach, only to have his eyes drawn away by Niles' arrival. "Eh? Oh. You didn't...?" the hound looks a touch flabbergasted. "I was sure I told you. I am hosting a small gathering to raise funds for a public project in the works." before turning back towards Ebreus. "Yep. Pretty familiar." the hound gives Niles' ass a quick pinch and shoots him a wink.
Maya bows the other cat, purring softly as she smiles. She gives a nod to the husky and a wave. "Hello there. I suppose I should Introduce myself?" She lets the question hang in the air. "Then I suppose I must. I am Maya Maloney. Librarian of Clairmont Library." She offers a hand to Michi in greeting.
Michi shakes Maya's hand, smiling at her. "Michael Toft Jensen, or Michi, as everyone calls me. I work for the school in Eureka. Was hoping to lend my expertise to the school here when it opens." The canine blinks a bit as he hears Niles, but turns to give a shy wave. "H-heya Niles." The canine shifts a little from foot to foot, the insides of his ears turning a little redder. "How have you been?" He asks the bunny. The husky looks over to the other hellhound, Ebreus and gives him a nod in greeting "Hello, d-don't think I've met you before."
Niles blinks at Otto before nodding. "Riiiiight. Thaaaaat." He says slowly before coughing. "That's today, huh?" He raises an eyebrow at Ebreus before arching his back and yelping as Otto pinches him. He looks at Otto with red cheeks. "So, what kinda project is it?" Then he suddenly turns to Michi. "You mean Michi isn't actually your name?" The bunny asks incredulously. Then he shrugs. "Doing pretty alright now that I got you and Otto in the same room." He says and giggles to himself as he munches on more snacks.
Ebreus nods to Ottos respons. "Yeah, I guess I am... just though a charity get together and my mind defaulted to formal attire." he says with a shrug. "Oh? I am Ebreus, nice to meet you Michi." he says, extending a hand to shake.
