Summary: There are unexpected consequences when Laszlo seeks a new human familiar...

Part LXXXXVII...

[Note-Naturally we are diverging from the new season storyline into AU territory]

The great dining hall of the New Residence...

Colin Robinson in promised brand new beige suit, identical to all previous of his, standing at the stairway from his basement bedroom section...Surveying the gathering...

"Well, here I am and ready to party hearty..." he smiles coolly at camera. "You folks enjoying yourselves? You'll notice I'm retaining my draining, a promise I made to the other guys. I see our Cravenworths are having a ball showing off the place...The slaves seem to be having a nice time...But where's...?" he looks round. "I know I sensed Nandor downstairs a moment ago, what's he up to?" eyeing camera crew.

"He's what? With whom?" sudden grin...

"He and Dracula...?" lowered voice... "And Dracula's dear little girl? Playing a wargame?"

"Cool..." nod.

Hardly the wargame I'm hoping to see but nice to know they're back to fighting if only in fantasy...He suddenly blanches, a chill sweeping over...

"I sense a great disturbance in the Unforce." He notes, a bit stunned.

"What? What line from what movie?" staring.

...

"This is quite a party, Lady Cravensworth..." Billie, carefully, to Nadja's immediate beam. She having come down to fetch wine glasses for Char and Martha, the three still on tour of the rest of the house.

Char especially intrigued by the bedroom and its dual single (coffin)/king beds, allowing as Nadja had explained the ability to snuggle, etc as desired and yet retreat to private space without requiring the separate bedrooms. Might be good for her and Shaun, when one wants a moment's peace but don't wanna send the poor schnook to the doghouse.

"You send Shaun to live with dog?" Nadja had asked, interested, before generously offering to do a wine run, refusing Martha's earnest offer to go.

"Aren't you the dear one? Actually the 'Lady' is not yet mine to be flaunting..." smile. "I must...What is it you say?...Get after?...The Mister Cravensworth to be seeing to securing it, though he is, we think the last or one of the last of the line."

"Well, it's so great of you to have us...Spectacular place." Billie notes, looking round.

"That it is..." Eloise, beside her, nodding.

"Isn't it? Well, it is all due to you dear girls and our Jennifer that we found and acquired it." Nadja, suddenly a bit downcast. "Excuse me, will you? I must see about a few things with my husband who will never give up his talking with the Professor and his friends there." She indicates Laszlo and the group about him, all the men and Jacqueta talking excitedly while Jennifer, holding Suzette, remained amused. "You ought to join us upstairs to see the place, Miss Billie. You both look lovely, dears!" she moves off.

"Nice lady." Billie notes.

"She has her ups-and-downs that I've seen but yeah, pretty nice in general..." Eloise agrees.

"How did they make so much dough? You know, Anita could never find a book by Mr. Cravensworth..." Billie shrugs. "Inheritance?"

"Probably..." Eloise nods. "But isn't that the way in Europe? Sides, I imagine the guy uses a pen name." Billie nodding...
