*Brandi walked into Le Rouge et L'Epine with a confident smile and the signed papers in hand. This was going to be great. Just what she needed to make her own place on the 'verse. She felt bad for Faye. She really didn't have a chance to get things on their feet before Norman came along. Poor Faye. Poor Virginia. No time to worry about it though. She surveyed the main hall. It was structurally intact, but looked very worn and in disrepair.*
Well... I didn't get a degree in Environmental Design for nothing...
*She made a fire in the hearth. That warmed the room nicely. Then she set to an initial cleaning. But before she got too far along, she decided there was something more pressing she had to do. She walked to the center of the room and cleared her throat, speaking clearly and strong diction.*
"Mademoiselle Lavoie, my name is Brandi. I have just purchased your inn. I would like very much to help restore it and bring some warmth back to it and to you. I mean no disrespect by anything that I do here. If you find a way to contact me, I would be happy to restore it in the manner that you would prefer. I will leave some options out for you when I get them and if you can shift them or something to let me know. I'm sure we can come to some arrangement. I am very excited about this and I hope that you don't mind my presence. Thank you very much."
I hope that was ok. With ghosts...you can never really tell.

*Faye sat in the corner, wishing she could contact the living--this girl seemed nice. She was glad the inn would welcome people again. Living ones, that is.*
It's alright...I'm happy you're here!
*she tried to radiate benevolent energies.*

*Brandi smiled at the cool tingle at the back of her neck.*
"Thank you."
*She set to work, cleaning and organizing and dusting. This was going to take a lot of work.*
***A FEW DAYS LATER***
*Brandi carefully laid out some paint color samples and fabric swatches. She hope there was a decent enough variety. She also put out an inverted wine glass and two pieces of paper on the table. She smiled gently and spoke again to the unseen presence.*
"Hello again. I've left you some choices. I hope you like some of them. If you do, just move the ones that you would like me to use. If you don't like any of them, just move the glass towards the paper that says None. If any of them are all right, please move the glass towards the paper that says Any. Thank you. I'm going to bed now. Just let me know."
*She wandered up to her room to crash for the night.*

*Faye bit her lip.*
"The blue is nice...so is the yellow..."
*She twitched the pieces of fabric out of place and slid the paint chips off to one side before placing the paper reading "Any" beside them and placing the glass on top of it.*

***A FEW WEEKS AND A LOT OF SWEAT AND BLOOD LATER***
*Brandi sighed as she surveyed the finished reconstruction of Le Rouge et L'Epine. She hope Faye liked it. Brandi was under the impression that Faye had been having a hard time of things recently. After polishing the bar once more, she wiped her hands and turned the sign in the window to OPEN.*
Hopefully someone will show up. Maybe I should go pick some flowers for Faye in the meantime. She seems to like that.

*Faye sat in a sunny corner of the room, out of the way. For the first time in months, she smiled.*

*Kurt entered the inn and looked around with a shy look on his face. He hadn't forgotten what the beautiful miss Georgiana had said about people recognizing him as Prince Kurt do he had decided to stay in an hotel or an inn, while he worked at the Opera. He had stumbled upon an advertisement for this place and it had sound very charming.*
"Hello?"
*Kurt put his bag down and scratched behind his ear. How did you check in into a inn?

*Brandi came out of the kitchen, wiping her hands on a towel. She was quite surprised to see the young man. It took her a moment to recognize him. Neat! A character I've never played with before. She approached him warmly.*
"Howdy! I mean...bonjoir. Can I help you, sir?"
*She smiled brightly and her brow rose in curiosity.*

*Kurt smiled back at the young woman.*
"Yes, I like to, you know, ehm get a room. To stay in."

*Brandi's smile widened and she nodded.*
"Of course, sir."
*She turned to fetch a key and looked back to him, biting her lip.*
"How long were you planning on staying?"

"For quit some time, miss, if that is alright. I have more then sufficient fundings and I am more than willing the help around if that is needed."
*Kurt hoped he didn't seem to forward or rude or anything. But wait, he had to seem rude to pass as a stagehand, right? Life was confusing for the young prince.*

*Brandi just smiled and brought the key back and offering it to him.*
"You are welcome as long as you'd like. It will be nice to have someone around."
*She appraised him quickly, wondering what kinds of tasks he would be able to perform. And for once, she wasn't just trying to be naughty. He had broad shoulders and a strong back. He could probably do all sorts of labor that she wasn't up to the challenge of.*
"So what kinds of things would I be able to ask for your help with?"
*She hoped that didn't sound like some sort of pick up line, she was really just curious what he was offering to help with.*

"Well back at home..."
I was being taught to rule a small country, how hard could an inn be?
... I learned how to do accountancy. And of course I could move heavy stuff, I bet I could even help with some plumbing."

*Brandi's smile widened and she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.*
"That would be great. Thank you. I hope that...if you're interested...it would just be nice to have someone to talk to. When you're not busy."
*She turned away shyly and started towards the kitchen.*
"Would you like something to eat or drink?"

*Kurt picked up his bag.*
"Yes, but nothing to difficult, I wouldn't want to keep you from anything important."
*He followed her into the kitchen.*
"We haven't been properly introduced, I am Kurt."
*He took his bag in his other hand and extended his right hand, figuring that shaking hands was informal enough.*
