(Khadashee) “Yeah, we should have.” She said walking up to him to take his hand. “I’m so sorry Draven. I was the youngest in my family so I never thought that she…. I’m so sorry. I feel terrible. I didn’t want to upset her.” She paused. “Go, go after her. Pull her in your arms, hug her tight and let know nothings change. She is and always will your baby girl. Go. I’ll be okay.” (Draven/Bridget) Draven gave Khadashee a gentle kiss, "thank you. I will return shortly." and headed out the door to find Bridget. It didn't take long as he knew her hiding places. She was quietly crying, "hello, pumkin." Draven said when he found her. She glanced at him and tried to smile, but found it hard to do. Draven scooped her up into his arms and sat on the tree stump that she had been hiding behind. "What do you think is going to happen when the new baby comes?" Bridget sniffled, whipped her nose with her sleeve, "you won't love me anymore." "Oh, now, you know that isn't true. Your momma still loves you just as much as your little brother. Why do you think I will be any different?" "Because, you really love Dashee" "Yes, but I love you more. You are my first true love. You know I miss you so much when I am gone, and yes, I will love the new baby too, but you will always be my first true love." Bridget looked up into her Pappa's eyes and finally smiled. "Okay, I will like him too, then. I am sorry for stomping my foot, Pappa. I hope Dashee was not sad." "She is a strong lady, she will be okay. Especially if you go and give her a hug as well." Together, walking hand in hand, Bridget and Draven made their way back to the furniture store to find Khadashee. Tag: Khadashee (OOC: set up something where she will run into Damian)

(Tori) ”hmm,” she said grunting. “I’ll consider it I guess since I can see how much this means to you.” She said Victoria stood and moved into the kitchen to get something out of the refrigerator. “We have a few. I put the file on your desk. We are only going to accept 10. But we have about 5 new client. I ear marked which of the 10 I think will go best with each client. When you get a chance look it over.” (Colin) Colin headed to his desk and sat down to look through the file. He made mental notes of what Tori had selected, "looks good. The last time Katya spoke with you did she indicate when she would be selling us more product?" He asked making notes on the five that were left over for the auction and which clients to invite. Tag: Tori

(Rhemy) Rhemy was thankful that the overly aggressive creep with the hands did not continue to follow her onto the dance for the beautiful brunette walking beside her. "Thank you so much," she whispered as they walked. "He simply wouldn't take no know for any answer and I was afraid I was going to have to handle him like we handle his type in Brooklyn," she said with a smile of her own. "I'm Rhemy. I feel like I should buy you a drink for the rescue, should would find a better bar away from prying eyes?" (Carmen) "Yes, I had to fend him off a few days ago. It's nice to meet you, Rhemy. Aren't you with your friends over there? Would they get mad if you left with someone you just met?" She asked with a smile not really caring if they did or not, but putting it out there in case Rhemy wanted to return to her friends. Tag: Rhemy

?(Khadashee) “Thank you love,” she said as he held the door open for her. Khadashee stopped when he heard the giggle and smiled when she saw it was Bridget, Draven’s five year old daughter. She was such a cute little girl and she could see that Draven dote on her just like a good father does. Just like her father did. When the girl ran up to her, Khadashee turned and smiled. “I would be delighted if you would. I don’t know if your father and I could make such a big decision on our own. Thank you so much.” (Draven/NPC Bridget) Bridget gave Khadashee a smile, "well, maybe you could. What are you wanting to get?" Draven was glad to see that Bridget liked Khadashee. She didn't always like the ladies he had brought around, but then he wasn't in love with any of them, either. He made his way through the shop with his girls and listened to them talk about what Khadashee might want for their home. Khadashee “ well, I was thinking,” she said “ we will need place for the baby to sleep and something to hold their clothes in and a pretty blanket to put on the baby and maybe even some nice painting for the wall. And a rocking chair. no nursery is complete without a rocking chair. What do you think Miss Bridget? Can you think of anything that I may forgot to make your baby brother or sister extra happy. I mean that’s besides having you as a sibling of course.”

(Gen) "Very handy," Gen said, following the young woman into the kitchen. "I wish my designers had thought of it when they were making me." The androgyne devoured everything Liza put out for him. "Thank you," he said finally, suddenly very sleepy. "I think I saw a sofa in the other room. If you don't mind, I think I'll just crash there for a bit." He managed to make it to the other room before collapsing onto said sofa. "Sorry," he mumbled, face down in the cushions. "My systems... shut down... if I've pushed them too far. Which I kind of... have." He then went silent, his breathing growing slow and even. (Roddy) Roddy blinked, then folded his arms as well, mimicking Donny's movement. Usually, he was the one giving attitude, and despite his promise to behave himself he couldn't resist throwing some of it back. "Mia sent me out here. To check on you," he said, sneering and purposely sounding disdainful of the other youth. "Heard you were selling bootleg game packs. And mutant porn. That true?" (When Gen Wakes) Liza had watched the youth simply shut down in a way that reminder her of a robot that suddenly needed to be rebooted. With a shrug she went to the phone on the wall and made a call. A little while later, Gen was tucked into a bed in a private room. His foot wear had been removed and is hoodie, but otherwise he was fully clothed and would find himself snuggled into a comfy bed with fresh cotton sheets. (Donny) Donny shook his head and gave a slight chuckle, “you’re full of shit. First, it is Ms. Mia and if she had heard such a thing she would come and find me herself.” He dropped his arms at that point and moved to a nearby stump that had his water bottle on it. He took a few swallows before reasking his question, this time a little more relaxed. “So, who are you and why did you come to seek me, of all people here, out?” Tag: Gen, Roddy

(Scheherazade) “What do you mean? What was what?” Sam asked. As she looked at him. “Are you okay, you look like you’ve seen a ghost,” (Braxton) "I... I didn't _see_ anything," Braxton said, shuddering as he looked around the doorway, into the room and just behind him, feeling anxious. "But I sure as hell _felt_ something. Like a freezing wind, except that this passed right through me. I swear, Sam, there's something not right about this place. I keep... hearing things, when there's nothing there. Sometimes I think I see things, but when I look again it's like it's just ducked around the corner and I just missed it." "And weird stuff keeps happening. One day my boots went missing, but the next morning I found them sitting outside my door, all nice and polished." He looked to Scheherezade questioningly. "Has anything like that happened to you?" Tag - Scheherazade

(Ari, Shooter) The shooter made it to street level when they saw the werewolf. “You know, it doesn’t have to be your day to die.” As the shooter was squaring off with the wolf, Ari came up behind them. “Or you can stand down and no one has to get hurt,” he said holding the gun at the back of the shooter. The shooter laughed then. And then the scent…the shooter’s scent hit Ari in the face like a punch. “I see you are and will always be her lap dog Ariein,” the female voice said as she turned to him revealing her identity. “Eli,” Ari whispered. (Diego/Hollywood and Troops) Diego was ready for the shot that never came. Instead there was conversation between the shooter and the vampire who some how knew Hollywood. He paused and waited for further instructions. Hollywood came out of the building with her Troops behind her and others came from around the building. Hollywood sent a mental message to Diego just as the person turned to face Ari. Diego leapt forward and had his massive arms wrapped around her and she was quickly disarmed. "You can come quietly or not, your choice." Hollywood knew who she was at this point, but made no indication to that fact or being nice to the one who tried to assassinate her. Tag: Eli, Ari

(Colin) Colin had left the Midnight Society some time after the Prince had left the room. He had taken some time to speak with Katya about the raids on the docks a few nights before. She was still trying to piece it together herself and let him know that they had received warning just before it happened so they were able to move the product our and hadn't lost any of them. He was glad for that. Arriving back at his and his sister's flat, he made his way inside. He made sure to be quiet incase Victoria had gone to bed, but he had a feeling she was waiting up to learn about the new prince and anything else he may have to share with her. Tag: Victoria

- Mikayla Mikayla never made it far. Just to the stairs near the front door before she sat down and cried. He wanted her to leave… it seemed so unfair. When Angus arrived she wiped her eyes and tried to be strong. “Of course he needs me. He needs me to do his bidding. And since I can’t. He has threatened to kick me out. I refused to be used Angus. It’s not fair to me. He was the one who brought me here. I didn’t ask to come. (Angus) "Mistress," Angus gasped, trying to catch his breath after having run after her, "I.. I think this is just... a misunder... standing." he managed. "The Master wants you to stay... of your own free will. If he offended you, he did not mean to." The servant leaned against a marble column. "I know he can be brusque at times... but I think he... he likes you." (The Dragon) The Dragon was suddenly aware of the floating ball of purple light that had appeared in the chamber. It beckoned for him to follow. Distracted, he forgot his anxiety for a moment and moved to follow. There was something familiar about the mesmerizing sphere, a feeling more than an actual memory. "I... I _know_ you," he rumbled. "What are you called?" Tag - Mikayla, The Will-O-The-Wisp OOC - Sorry for taking so long. Been experiencing some memory problems this year. Hard to recall things sometimes, even though I know I should know them. :(

(Ari, Shooter) Ariein moved to follow Hollywood. Her until moved like a well-oiled machine so he tried his best to stay out of their way. "Is the plan to kill, maim or disarm? Figured I asked just so we can be on the same page." He said cocking his gun. The shooter went down, The goal was to get to the street. Once on the street, they could take off into the shadows. Lucky the werewolf had stop following that was good. But it made them wonder if there was something else lurking and waiting. (Hollywood/Diego) "As I said before, depends on the shooter and if they are willing to talk. Won't know until we catch up to them." Hollywood said in response to the question. "I would prefer to capture and disarm versus kill and maiming has to play a roll, so be it." She tapped on the mic to communicate to the team where the shooter was an which direction they were heading. Diego made his way to one of the rooms and went through to the windows. Once there he stepped outside onto the fire escape, then measured the distance to the ground. Once sure he could drop without hurting himself, he climbed up onto the railing, then dropped to the ground below. He knew where the stair well excited and made his wait outside the door. If the shooter continued to the street level it was the only way for them to get out. Tag: Ari, Shooter

- Evone'- “I was yours the moment you looked at me.” Evone’ said stroking his cheek and kissing his lips. “And I will always be yours as long as you will have me.” —- Evone’ hadn’t quite been feeling herself lately. Which was so strange because she and Andrew had been in a state of bliss. Their days were spent caring for the particular duties on ship, while their nights were spent making love, or talking or simply just quietly enjoying each other’s company. She never imagined she could be so happy. But she was. Even if sea sickness seemed to be taking her more and more lately. So when he interrupted her reading for a surprise, she happily put her book down, “you know I love surprises,” she said as she closed her eyes and stood up. Evone’ chuckle as she did so. “How am I suppose to followed with my eyes closed.” But somehow she managed. When he told her to uncover her eyes and she found herself standing at the deck, at first she was puzzled. That confusion showed on her face until he explained. Then her face lit up and she threw herself in his arms. “Thank you. Thank you so much,” she said kissing his lips over and over again. “I love you so much.” (Andrew) Lucas Amethyst It was midday the next day when the Elusive sailed into the port of Brest. It did not take long for Andrew to find a berth for his ship and to engage a carriage to travel to the village where Evone's father lived. Though Andrew had been to France before, he'd never traveled through this part of it. "It's rather lovely," he said to Evone' as they rode past the lush woods and vineyards along the way. "Is your father's estate like this?" Tag - Evone' OOC - Sorry it's taken me so long. Will try to do better.

(Roddy) Roddy made a face at the restrictions but then shrugged. "Okay, I'll be a good boy. No smoking where it might blow into the building and no butts on the ground." He glanced over at a set of French doors that led outside. "The practice field is that way, yes?" He started to open the door but stopped and looked back to Misty. "Oh, uh what's this guy's mutant power? And what does he look like? In case he's not the only one out there." (Misty) Misty gave Roddy a smile, "he will be the only one there...he always is this time of day. And look for the almost too large for his age guy and you will find him." With that Misty left the room, but before she stepped out, "and remember, I am just a phone call away. Welcome to the Academy." (Exit Misty) (NPC Donny) Donny was moving through his defensive positions. He liked to work out in the sunlight instead of the little room that had been designated the gym. He hoped that Ms. Del and Ms. Mia would be building an actual gym soon. But the sunlight helped him with his strength which was his ability after all. He had finished his weight lifting and his sparing moves. He wished there was someone who could handled his punches to have someone he could actually spar with. (Del) "Well, we've been pretty lucky so far. Just getting this place built in the first place took a good chunk of luck. And the fact that no one's showed up with protest signs or leaving hate-graffiti on our walls is another bit of luck." Del chewed on her lip. "I was kind of worried that something like that would happen. It has in other towns." She smiled back at Mia. "Here's hoping your father comes up with a prospect or two. A celebrity that people already like would be a super drawing card." (Mia) "True we have been lucky in those regards. But we also reside in a much smaller town...or rather on the outskirts of it. I won't hold my breath on a celebrity, but some one that is known would be a good thing. I will give my father a call and see. What are you going to do in the mean time?" Tag: Del, Roddy

(Gen) The place seemed surprisingly - disappointingly? - ordinary, Gen thought. He didn't know what he was expecting, really. Maybe something like out of the comics he seen? Some ultra high-tech security systems popping up around him? Costumed mutants pouring out of the building in all sorts of colorful ways? He knew he should probably be glad that none of that was happening, but still... This? Nothing? No siren or searchlights? Not even a barking dog or two? "These guys must be super lame," Gen muttered as he scuttled down the side of the building, dropping the last ten feet or so and landing silently on the sidewalk. He wanted to feel safe. He was hoping maybe this Academy place would take him in, even if he wasn't a _real_ mutant. But he was now wondering if they'd be able to protect him if the Futura people tracked him here. "So what good are you, huh?" the androgyne shouted at the darkened doors, venting his frustration. Picking up a discarded bottle from the gutter, he prepared to throw it through the nearest window. "You probably can't even protect yourselves!" (NPC Liza) "That wouldn't be a good idea," Liza said as she suddenly materialized from the side of the building. "That would not go over well with the locals. Perhaps just simply knocking on the front door would get you better results." She said as she stepped up to him. She was a little taller than he was with hair that seemed to shimmer with different colors and eyes that changed colors as well. Then suddenly it all stopped to reveal dark brown almost black hair and ice blue eyes. "I am Liza, who are you?" Tag: Gen

(Khadashee) She knew she was asking a lot of him. And she also knew he was trying to figure out a way the he thought worked for both of them. He just didn’t understand. She had made eye contact with Bakari. She knew he was never going to stop. Khadashee put her arms around him. Kissing his lips softly. “I’m sorry I brought this up. I don’t want to upset you. Let’s not think of the future now. Only live in the present. Thank you for loving me.” (Draven)Draven sighed but shook his head, "no, I am glad you did bring this up. It changes many things. I do love you." He said before giving her another kiss. This did indeed change many things. The thought of losing her was unthinkable. He would take her to the island. An island that only a few select pirates know about. There she and their child would be safe. He held her a few moments longer, "for now, we should rest. You get yourself settled while I go on deck and check in with the crew. I will return shortly." Tags: Khadashee

- Evone'- Evone' sat on a pile of rope, looking out into the beautiful open sea. The clouds were large and billowy. The sky was bright and blue and the water was soft. It was a perfect day. They were traveling to France to see her father. She wanted to make sure he was okay after all her ass of supposed to be dead ex-husband said he was not well. She was grateful to Andrew for taking her there. She was worried that he would be found. Yes, she knew she shouldn't be worried considering he said she shouldn't be but she was. He was a pirate after all. Looking out into the water, she saw the ships pass by them. Some close some not. She hadn't been paying much attention to the ship traffic to determine if any were following them or not. So she did not have the same concern he did. _._,_._,_ (Andrew) Andrew focused his spyglass on the distant ship on the horizon. The one that was keeping its distance but also the one that had altered its course to match that of the Elusive. He doubted that this was mere coincidence. Lowering the spyglass, he frowned in thought. Much as he didn't want to, he would need to inform Evone' of their apparent shadow. "Evone', my love," he said quietly, coming to where she was sitting on the forward deck on a pile of coiled rope, "there's something you need to see." He handed the spyglass to her and pointed to a barely visible spot on the far horizon, a few points to the right of their course. He waited until it seemed that she had the thing in sight. "It appears to be shadowing us. I wasn't sure at first, but whenever we make a course change, it matches it. And it's been trying to keep out of sight. We lose it now and then, but it always reappears if we keep looking for it." "I'm going to try to lose them when the sun finally sets. But I felt you should know." He took the spyglass back and folded it up. "I'll wager a guinea that it's your unlamented husband and his pirate partner." Tag - Evone'

(Ariein) “Got it.” He said as he followed her to the elevator. He smirked. “That’s a helluva whole Lotta fire power for one person. Not to tell you how to run your business, but Don’t you think your a military style unit is overkill for what appears to be one person?” (Hollywood) Hollywood didn't respond to Ari's comment about things being overkill. They were not sure if it was one person or not. There could be more working with the one shooter. She had learned long ago to never underestimate someone trying to kill her. All she did was simply made a shh sound. She wanted silence as they made their way to the other building and inside. Once they knew the main entrance was secured, Hollywood gave hand signals and the unit broke into teams of two or three and headed into different directions to begin the sweep of he building. Hollywood along with one of her men and Ari, who she signaled to follow her, headed to the security room and she made her way to one of the main computers and started typing on the keys. Before long, the tv screens were showing different parts of the building. She punched a few more keys and after a search with the cameras in the building, Hollywood found the shooter in the stair well. "There." She made note of the floor and started heading to the stair well. (Diego) Diego heard the shots and knew that she was packing for werewolves. He stepped back as the bullets sailed past him. He had to rethink and quickly. Looking around he spotted the stairwell door. Deciding that remaining he was, wasn't the best laid plan he made his way inside the building. It was a corridor on the other side and the building had already been evacuated. It was one of the Prince's companies. He stopped and placed his ear against the door to listen for the shooter. Which way was she going to go, up or down? Tag: Ari, Shooter

(Mia) Mia had dressed in her red knit sweater top, knee length black pleated skirt, and Mary Jane's with knee high socks. She stood at the top of the stairs that lead down from the staff room's to the main floor. She was watching the students who were newly arrived being met by enrolled students. She was happy with how things were going. So far everyone was being made to feel comfortable. Misty was looking over a paper that had some names on them and was trying to figure out who she wanted to help get settled. Tag: Del, Roddy, open

- Mikayla Mikayla never made it far. Just to the stairs near the front door before she sat down and cried. He wanted her to leave… it seemed so unfair. When Angus arrived she wiped her eyes and tried to be strong. “Of course he needs me. He needs me to do his bidding. And since I can’t. He has threatened to kick me out. I refused to be used Angus. It’s not fair to me. He was the one who brought me here. I didn’t ask to come. Inside the keep where the dragon waited, the little purple light appeared again. (The Dragon, Angus) The Dragon was too distraught at first to notice the appearance of the little purple light in the chamber. But its presence was felt nonetheless, drawing his attention. It was familiar somehow, though he couldn't say how. Or why. He took a step toward it, only to have it retreat, moving out of the chamber and into the adjoining hallway. Following after it, he felt his surroundings grow fuzzy and indistinct, until it felt like he was moving through a dream. And it seemed like he could hear a voice, soft and soothing, calling him on. A voice he knew somehow. A name surfaced in his memory. "Jerusha... Jerusha..." (Angus) "No, Mistress!" Angus gasped, out of breath. "He doesn't want you to leave. He very much wants you to stay. But he doesn't want you to stay as a captive or as a prisoner. He... he cares about you you. Enough to free you, even if it means he stays this way forever!" Tag - Mikayla

(Shooter) The shooter saw the Prince’s lapdog jump down to the level beneath her on the stairwell. She could have simply turned to go back up in the direction she came, but she didn’t. If he wanted to die in service to his master, then she would oblige him. So instead, she changed guns and fired, firing hollow tip silver round at both his head and body. (Ariein) Ariein followed Hollywood out of the room, falling into step behind her. “do you have a plan or is it just go out with guns blazing?” (Diego) Diego heard the shots and knew that she was packing for werewolves. He stepped back as the bullets sailed past him. He had to rethink and quickly. Looking around he spotted the stairwell door. Deciding that remaining he was, wasn't the best laid plan he made his way inside the building. It was a corridor on the other side and the building had already been evacuated. It was one of the Prince's companies. He stopped and placed his ear against the door to listen for the shooter. Which way was she going to go, up or down? (Hollywood) "Depends on the shooter." Hollywood made her way to the elevator and once all were inside pressed the button. The car dropped quickly, much faster than a normal elevator would. Once on the ground floor, they made their way to the other building, all on alert. Hollywood looking straight ahead, pistols in both hands as her guards constantly scanned following behind her. They were a well trained unit and moved with better precision than most military units. Tag: Shooter, Ari

(Ariein) Arien frowned. He actually did not want to go anywhere with her. Not after what she had just said to him. He had never given up hope to find her. It wasn't until he stopped feeling her. When all his senses had no awareness of her that he accepted the fact that she was dead. That had hurt him so much. She was his sire and that fact that she was gone. For many many years, he felt lost and adrift. When he Bryon....he had purpose again. "Of course Prince Hollywood," he said waiting for her to lead him. (Hollywood) Hollywood glanced around the hall and saw that many of the guests were leaving or making connections. She knew that she could slip away without notice. She placed a hand on Diego's shoulder and gave him a nod. The large wolf then left her side and headed off on his own. Then she turned around and left the dias behind the throne. Once they were behind the platform, Ariein would see a door. Inside was a small meeting room with a table and chairs. "Please, have a seat?" She asked him instead of ordering as she sat down herself. Tag: Ariein
