It was probably one of the worst ideas Emelie had ever had. Not that she hadn't been full of them lately. Or was that bad decisions mixed with bad ideas? Either way, the idea persisted in her mind, running through her head in full detail like a pretty little play. She had enough people now, Serrena, Salvo, even Peregrine would probably just nod and do as he was told. The extras could be filled in - Dominick, Celleste if necessary... hell, if she really needed him she could probably find some way to get in touch Carrick, if he wasn't dead.

There really was only one questionable piece to the puzzle. But unfortunately that particular individual was going to either make or break the entire thing. Emelie had ideas on how to win him over though... though they probably were all rather bad.

Being drunk didn't help any. Not that there really was a waking moment where the woman didn't have some form of alcohol floating about in her system, but it took a great deal to actually get her to a clear point of intoxication. Not that she was beyond a usual functional level, either. It was more in that comfort range where everything just felt warm and calm...

She let a small sigh leave her after another drink from the glass that had once been filled to the brim with that delightful little beverage known as Breath of Heaven. The gentle after burn that rose in her throat elicited another deep breath as she placed the glass back down on the side of the large bath tub. It was one of the few luxuries she had that probably wouldn't have been given up for anything, and to think... it had been Xavier's idea. Real water, not one of those sonic-showers that just got the job done, but a full large scale bath where one could relax and let their cares simply melt away. Heaven, indeed.

A small light briefly came alive on the communications panel in the room, showing the main door to the suite had opened and someone had entered. Emelie smiled slightly, about time... Sure she wasn't probably mentally in the best position to attempt to convince the essential component in whatever mixed up plan she had... but then again, amazing things sometimes started off as bad ideas.
