[ Ping! Suddenly you receive a photo of.. a piece of paper with text on it? Apparently someone wanted to send you something, but didn't want to bother finding out where everyone lives..
It's a photo of a card that has text on it in perfect yet somehow also still legible calligraphy. It looks ridiculously fancy for what's written on it, which is-- ]
You are hereby cordially invited to:
ADAINE AND FABIAN'S BREATHTAKING BIRTHDAY BASH!
It will be held today, June 3rd, in the rec room of the apartment building. Presents are not necessary, but a good attitude is most definitely required! There will be drinks, dancing and general merriment, because we all deserve something good after that labyrinth!
Trust me - it will be the party of the century here, and you DO NOT want to miss it!
- Fabian Aramais Seacaster
P.S. If you do not know my good friend Adaine yet, make sure to get to know her at the party. She is an absolute delight, and I want her to have the best birthday party possible!
[ For all characters who would attend, there is a log right over here!
Also, for Vanessa - Fabian would've tried to just send it to the un she used to contact him earlier even if it was hidden.. Just attempt to bounce it to that.. If it doesn't reach her, you're fine to assume that! c: ]

[ at some point in the afternoon, Dream is standing by the fireplace in Vanessa's residence while waiting for Hob to shower. as he waits he calls up his power in the form of a faintly glowing orb, one in which he can see Vanessa's face wherever she is. her pendant helps with this, and she will feel a faint pull of power from it before she hears Dream's voice floating near her. ]
Lady Vanessa?
[ never mind that he has a perfectly fine mobile device that he can call her on. shit's for losers. ]

[ Rarely does she wear the earpiece without cause, since unexpectedly hearing strange voices can be a bit triggering for someone who has a past of...unexpectedly hearing strange voices...but she does keep it in her pocket so that she can tell if someone is trying to contact her.
In this case, at least, the alternate route of magic isn't as alarming as it would be with anyone else. She perks up from where she's out collecting herbs. The psychic pull has her glancing about while touching the pendant, even if she knows he isn't physically nearby. ]
Lord Morpheus? To what do I owe this pleasant surprise?
[ Her tone is light with a tease, but it quickly sobers when realizing there's probably a reason for his making contact. ]
Is all well?

All is well, my lady. Take ease.
[ there's a kind of ... pulse in the pendant. a sense of reassurance that washes over her. ]
I, too, have had a surprise. I took the liberty of inviting this surprise into your residence so that he can bathe.

[ So vague! But there are very few people that she can imagine Morpheus inviting into the house. Of course, there is a flicker of hope that it's someone who belongs there—Ethan, perhaps.
But his tone would likely be quite different in that case.
There's only one person she personally knows who she can imagine would be a pleasant surprise for him. There are a couple of Endless to consider, perhaps, but it's unlikely they would bother with bathing. ]
Is that so? [ A pause, unwilling to voice her guess in case she may somehow be wrong and only depress him. She knows he's missed Hob. ] And who might that be?

It is Hob Gadling, my lady.
[ there is a subtle pleased note to his tone, yes. though he next words sound less so. ]
Though he does not remember the time spent in the City.

Though he does not remember the time spent in the City.
I daresay that I am not easily forgotten.
[ a little wry, a little amused. ]
He recalls our time before the City, but nothing within it.

[ She smiles to herself at the remark, even if it's a touch melancholy. ]
I should think that you are quite impossible to forget.
[ Wrapping some twine around the bundle of herbs in hand, she thinks for a moment. ]
Is there anything that you would like me to bring for him? To ease his arrival?

I will procure tea for him, but the bathing is already putting him to ease. I thank you for the consideration, as well as for the allowance of his presence in your residence, my love.
I hesitate to even claim it as mine...yet it feels just as odd to name it as Sir Malcolm's residence while here.
[ She knows it can't be the real thing, despite the look and feel of everything. It's only the nostalgia that keeps her from trashing the place out of spite for Aurora, really... ]
We can find a room for Mr. Gadling to remain in, if he wishes.

If both you and he desire it, though an introduction should occur once more.
I suppose so.
[ It wouldn't be the first time she's had to re-introduce herself, but she hadn't known Eddie for as long... ]
Have you told him of the City? Do you mean for him to know of what occurred there?
[ Does he know that he got werewolf-handled? ]

We spoke only briefly of it, enough that his knowledge of you was absent. I will speak more of it once he is refreshed, but I wished you to be informed in the event of your return and encounter him.
You are welcome to return whenever you wish, but your consideration is appreciated.
[ there's a small pause for the last question, the tone more somber. ]
I am accustomed to men forgetting in waking hours. I suppose that, in a way, this is similar.

Under other circumstances, I should also think that you are quite impossible to forget.
Normally, you would be quite right.
[ Not really mentioned in a prideful way—she just knows that she can make an impression. Rarely is it actually a good impression, but some trends have shifted since arriving at the City... ]
If you don't mind my slipping on through at some point, then, I shouldn't be too much longer. An hour, perhaps.
[ Hob may even be gone by then, but one never knows. ]

As you will, my lady. Your presence would always be welcome, let alone in your own residence.
I only happened upon him as he arrived in a poor state.
I am not entirely certain as he was understandably upset and so distracted from a full explanation. Apparently, our unwilling host had him arrive in another place and then stepped from the hospital to the empty space between the stars. It was thankfully only for a short time, but from there he became covered in some substance which is the state I found him in.
