Tamuril sipped on her drink, her eyebrow raised quizzically for no apparant reason as she read the newspaper. She placed her pipe back in her mouth and re-focused her monicle onto the article to continue reading.
Nightworld? Or Browntown? Angry residents of Browntown gathered at Town Hall yesterday to protest the town councils decision to change the newly renamed city of Browntown back its original name of Nightworld. The city was renamed several weeks ago after months of complaints by locals that the name 'Nightworld' held no relevance to the cities character as contrary to what the name implied, the city had no more night than any other town nor was there any grounds for it to be considered a world.
Tamuril blew a couple of smoke rings before laying the paper down.

"Hmmm, amusing," Skyler said, looking at the smoke ring. He didn't smoke but had respect for people who could perform tricks like that. "But you'd best be laying off the pipe, you know that stuff can kill you, right?" Skyler said, trying not to be a smart ass while noticing the big bold "Browntown?" on the from page of her paper and looking for his table.

Cassiel walked in the door of the Firefly and looked around. She saw Tam sitting at a table, and went to join her. She looked at the paper that Tam was reading and rolled her eyes. "Geez Tam, you should lay off the tabloids. You might actually start believing them. Browntown... where do they get this stuff?"

Tam raised an eyebrow at Skyler. "This coming from someone who smoked my effigy by setting it on fire? Didn't seem to care too much for my wellbeing then did you kid!" She said in a reprimanding tone. It's not that she really blamed him, she did leave afterall, but she wasn't about to let him think he could get away with it without coping an earful from her first.
She turned to Cassiel with a beaming smile. "Casserole! Where've you been? Long time no see old gal!" She said giving her a wink. "And I would take this Browntown stuff seriously, since you've been gone people have been swimming in sewerage to prove they're serious about the name change. I fear a revolt may be close at hand......" She shok her head sadly. "Personally I would never swim through excrement for a name, but each to their own I suppose.....You haven't been sewer swimming have you Cass?"

Cassiel grinned. "Do I look like I've been swimming?" A waitress came over and Cassiel ordered a tea. She was shocked at how fast it was ready.
Sipping her tea she said, "Well anyway, no one is changing this town's name. Not if I have anything to do with it. People will find out why it's really called Night World."

This news pleased Tamuril. She didn't like the name Browntown at all (she wanted Bog Central). "Ooo! Are you going to destroy the sun so it's always night time?"

Skyler laughed. "No, because destroying things is my job," he said jokingly. And turning seriously to Cassiel, "doesn't the name come from the fact that we are the center of the dark world, as in dark magic and traditional night time creatures, no matter the time of day?"

"Sounds to me like someones been spending far too much time reading the Nightworld travel brochures." Tam said dryly, turning her focus back to her newspaper. She readjusted her monicle and took a few puffs of her pipe before continuing.
"And I'll have you know, young whipper snapper, that I hold the crown for the most destructive member of Nightworld. Not on purpose, but the other rather unintelligent inhabitants of this town always seem to get in the way." She wrinkled her nose in disgust, and flicked to the next page of her paper.

Skyler decided even a fancy restaurant couldn't revive his appetite. Walking by Tamuril, he gave one last parting shot. "More than you know. Not forgotten, not forgiven," he said, walking out the door.

Tam watched him walk out of the restaurant with a puzzled look on her face. She had no idea what he was talking about, after all the little brat was the one who betrayed her not the other way around. She sighed and shook her head. "I will never understand people." She muttered, getting up from the table, newspaper tucked away under her arm.
"I'll see you later Cass." She smiled, before leaving too.
