1.(This is backdated to the claim between the 5th and the 12th) for anyone who still wants to play anything out) Mab's footsteps echoed through the evening air in Lewisham, her eyes scanning for any signs of trouble. For the most part there had been little resistance. Many of the creatures here were already just scraping by to survive, though she'd had a few run in's that had been … trying. Heiji had made a convenient list of possible problems and timelines for the commerce and traffic flows, as well as criminals and such. She was currently on her way toward one of these. A small gang of outcast fae who could cause problems for her.

2. There is a large gate open in Lewisham on the outskirts of Forest Hills. Mab enlisted another fae to put a 'don't look here' spell on the entrance to keep regular humans from just wandering in but those who had been involved in the territory claim earlier that month both fae and non-fae could easily pass between the two trees marked with what seemed to be a snowflake symbol glistening on the trunks. If a few humans made it in they'd probably survive. On the Other Side, stepping just out of the trees there is a small hill on which stands a manor that glistens in the evening sunlight, and even while it's still light, the colors of the aurora borealis drift across the frozen surface of the building. A short walk up the hill will bring you to a door that doesn't <i>appear</i> to be guarded though if anyone comes armed for bear, a yeti will show up to take care of the issue. The door is merely an opening in the side of the manor and inside reveals a large entry hall and double staircases that wind up to a second floor balcony with doors and hallways. Off to the right is the ballroom and the sound of a small ensemble rings out through the door and flashes of cool colors add to the festive feel as the glow of the house continues inside.

To the left is a sitting room with drinks and finger foods and walking through the sitting room will bring you to a formal dining room which has full meals available if need be. Servants move all along the bottom floor between the rooms with drinks and hors d'oeuvres.

Mab entered the coffee shop, ordered herself some tea and then went to sit in the corner, a little out of the way. It was easiest to put up a veil here where there weren't as many directions to veil from. Her hands settled on the table next to her drink for a moment before she moved to pull her gloves off and carefully set them to the side. The humans still relied too much on metal but at least some things had given way to plastic. She lifted her plastic spoon to stir the tea in the porcelain cup and finally set it aside to take a sip.

She'd arrived a little early but she wasn't sure how accurate a ghost's internal clock was. Sometimes they could lose time just staring at something if they weren't careful so she'd give Clara a little extra time as well to be safe. The ghost was doing a service for her and it never hurt to accommodate those doing a service. Some required a more delicate touch than others.

Faust sat in the cafe with a cup of tea in front of him, seemingly serene. Seemingly, because if recent events were indication, he could snap into a volatile state at the drop of a hat.

"I believe I owe you some thanks for your part in reconnecting me with my wife," he said softly.

Esmeralda was stood, waiting, when Mab approached. Word had spread quickly throughout Lewisham: the outcast fae might band together, but they weren't above talking to the other gangs there. So Esmeralda was waiting calmly, at the entrance to the park where they had set up camp, for Mab to arrive.

Was she happy that the fae had taken over Lewisham? No, not at all. But it wasn't in Esmeralda's nature to turn to violence either, and though the other outcasts were reluctant, they had agreed to at least try her way first.

So, when Esmeralda saw Mab approach, she called out, "Do you plan to leave us with nowhere to go then, my Lady?"
