Jess pulled the cloak around her shoulders and head as she moved in to the inn. It had been what two years since she had been to Paris, two years since she had visited the inn, two years... since she died.
Of course Jess wasn't dead and truth be told she wasn't ready to die just yet. She was here on business, and the faster she left the better.
But she needed a place to stay that was safe and she knew.
Brushing a piece of her now bright red hair out of her face she hit the bell on the counter.
((Tag either of the ladies of the inn.))

((I do! I do!))
*Even preoccupied as she was, Brandi still managed to answer the bell on some occasions. Ones like this. She rounded the corner out of the kitchen, professional smile ready and obviously surprised to see the woman at the counter. But pleasantly so. That things in the past with CB was so...well, it was ages ago. And after everything else, so not a big deal. She hurried up to her in front of the counter.*
"Hey you!" *She smiled brightly.* "What's up?"
*Talking up two more authors than normal in the last few days...she wondered if something was up.*

((OOPS... I deleted my last post haha.))
Smiling softly she dropped the hood of the robe to reveal a girl that was barely a shadow of what she once was. Yes she had gained some weight back, but it wasn't much, she was hoping that with the money she was making at the museum, she might find her curves again.
"Hey" Jess replied in a husky voice "just uh, need a room" she looked down at the floor "how are things?"

((No worries.))
*Brandi was taken aback for a moment at the woman before her. She looked different, and yet... Breaking the thought, she hurried to fetch a key.*
"I would hazard to say better than things on your end, but that's saying a lot. Things have finally started to cool down..." *She watched her friend with a cautious gaze as she held the key out to her.*
"Things have been rough?" *She asked gently.*

"Technically I'm dead" Jess laughed nervously, taking the key "you were probably too busy to hear about it, it was in the papers. I uh, lost control two years ago, split personality and tried to kill Snape. Queen Dopplepoplus was apparently what I was going by, in a last ditch effort she released all my power in to a creature and I fell off the roof of the Tower of London."
She took a breath "I was homeless for a year before someone found me.. some stuff happened... and now I'm working for the British Museum and am at the mercy of my characters."

"Oh." *The word seemed somehow truncated on Brandi's lips and she was quiet for a little while.*
"Then...why don't we get you something to eat and you can catch me up." *She smiled carefully, unsure the extent of what Jess had gone through. Had it really been so long? It had been ages. It was hard to tell.*

Jess smiled "That sounds great actually" she lifted up her bag.

"Here, let me." *Brandi offered a hand to take the bag, using the other to gesture the way to the kitchen.*
"What are you feeling like?" *She asked with a compassionate smile.*
"With as many as we've got running around here, we pretty much keep everything stocked."

"Something fatty and terrible for me" she admitted.

"Oh, that's totally doable." *Brandi grinned, opening some cupboards and pull down somethings.*
"Savory fatty like fried chicken and french fries or sugary fatty like brownies." *Mmm...brownies. Her brow arched in question.*

Jess smiled and thought about it for a moment "Definitely the brownies."

"Just the thing." *Brandi concurred, pulling out a box mix and the other ingredients.*
"You want something to drink in the meantime? The fridge should be pretty stocked. Feel free to help yourself."
*She nodded to the anachronistic appliance.*

"Thanks" walking over to the fridge she opened it up and grabbed a pitcher of ice tea "you want a glass?"

"Please." *Brandi nodded, gesturing towards one of the cabinets.*
"They're up there."
*She returned to mixing the ingredients, then set the oven to preheat.*

Jess grabbed two glasses and poured the tea, setting one next to Brandi "Thanks for this by the way."
