(Gen) "I don't know if I'm actually in the Academy," Gen said, biting his lip. "Not yet, anyway. I was kind of checking the place out, from the outside, last night. And this nice lady saw me and invited me in, even though it was the middle of the night. I haven't seen her since then and I haven't been processed at all." The androgyne perked up at the prospect of food. "I did eat something earlier, but that was a while ago and I'm hungry again. I... I kind of have this high metabolism, because of all the things my body was designed to do. So I have to eat a lot more than... than ordinary people do." (Akira) Akira paused when Gen said, "designed to do", "so you were made by someone? That's different. Most us are born with our abilities, not created to have them. Let's head to the chow hall. I can skip my next class or two if needed. Get you something to eat and then find out if you need to get processed in. In the meantime, you can fill me in on what you are, you are fascinating, that's for sure." (Roddy) Roddy made a face at the mention of education. "I never was good at school stuff. Just barely got by for the most part." He started to reach for the water bottle but then thought better of it. "Got enough there to share?" he asked, nodding at the bottle. "Me?" Roddy shrugged. "It's sort of... electrical. I mean, I can't shoot lightning bolts at people. Not directly, anyway. But if I focus on someone or something, I can make it so that they attract electrical discharges. If I focus long enough... Boom!" he clapped his hands together for effect "They get zapped by lightning. I don't even have to touch them. I just have to be able to see them." He paused a moment, then added "Of course the closer I am to them, the easier it is to cause the charge to build up. Basic physics and all that, but like I said, I was never that good at school stuff." The blond-haired youth hesitated, wondering how much he should share. Finally he continued, but did so looking at the ground. "I did some freelance muscle stuff now and then. I used the name Lightning Rod. I didn't like myself much, so I'm trying to stop." (Donny) "There are more in my bag, thought I mentioned that. Go ahead and grab one." Donny said about the water. "Well, not all of us are good at the school stuff. The curriculum is pretty laid back." Then he listened to Roddy talk about his abilities. "Ah, well, Ms. Mia and Ms. Del want us to use our abilities for good, so you are in the right place to stop using them for hired muscle." He glanced at his watch. "Well, I need to hit the showers. Have you been to our room yet?" Tag: Gen, Roddy

(Gen) "Oh! Uhm, hi!" Gen replied, momentarily overwhelmed by the sudden influx of students into the hallway that had been completely empty before. So many of them. And so different from each other. He noticed the hand Akira was extending to him, then took it. "I'm... Gen. And yes, I'm new here. I'm kinda new everywhere, actually." The androgyne looked around uncertainly as the students in the hall all seemed to be heading somewhere with purpose. Not the same somewhere apparently, judging by the way they were going in different directions. But still somewhere. He looked back to Akira. "Where is everyone going? I... I don't really know where I'm supposed to be." He realized that he was still holding on to the boy's hand. It felt nice and warm and reassuring, but he forced himself to let it go. "Is there anyone I can ask? Or can I just go with you? Maybe?" (Akira) Akira gave Gen a smile as they released their hands from each other. Something about the lad made Akira tingle. "We are all heading to our next classes. Who brought you in to the Academy? Usually new students are taken to the office for in processing. Maybe we should start there, come along." He offered to help Gen out. "Have you had breakfast this morning?" (Roddy) "Yeah," Roddy said, accepting the offered bottle with a nod. "I think that was her name." He followed the other boy's example and found a spot on the ground near the same logs. "I take it she runs the place? Seems nice enough. I wasn't sure what to expect." He glanced around at the surrounding school grounds. "I was half-expecting bars and guards and stun-sticks. But this place is more like some high school or college. One for the upper class, even." He looked back to Donny. "And everyone here's a... mutant?" He said the word carefully, remembering his correction from Misty about using the word "mutie". "What's your schtick, then?" (Donny) "Misty, in charge, Gawd no. She is more the welcome wagon. Mia and Del are the ones in charge so to speak. They actually built the place and wanted it to be a safe haven for mutants. Not everyone is a mutant...some of the teachers aren't. Yes, we have teachers because we are to get an education as well as learn to hone our abilities." He paused as he took a long drink of his water. "Mine, strength. I am able to lift just about anything and I can track through vibrations in the ground. What about you?"

(Rhemy and friends) As dinner continued the all laughed and talked and got to know each other better. When Carmen suggested a private beach, they were all for it. ”That would be wonderful.” Alex said. “I’ll order us some snacks,” JD added "Do you have a bottle of your family’s wine?” Rhemy asked JD raised his hand for the check and paid. “Snacks are on the way. So do we need a car to get there?” (Carmen) "Snacks will be good. Of course I have some bottles and a car. All I have to do is text my driver." Carmen said as she got her phone and sent a quick text. "He will wait in front of the hotel for us. Shall we go and get what we need from our rooms and meet in front in five minutes? I can tell the waiter to have the snacks taken to the car, as well."

(Victoria) Victoria watched her brother closely. The beauty of being more werewolf than vampire was that she could smell and pick up on subtle changes in one's biology. And increase heart rate. The beginnings of perspiration. The change in tonal inflection. Even the slighted most minute detail she could detect in ways that vampires (like her brother and father and mother, who tended to be more self-centered) missed. It was one of the reasons why Colin let her handle the grimier, if you will, side of the business. Once because she had a perchance for violence and two because she had impeccable instincts which made it quite hard for people to lie to deceive them. And in this case, her brother was revealing information he was trying to hide. "You are fucking her." Tori said. "And before you scold me on using a word I know you find crass tell me I'm wrong. Because I can smell that you either have or want to. So don't lie to me because you know that I'll..." Tori sniffed the air then. Someone was in their home. And she knew who. She smiled. She got off the kitchen stool and quickly moved to the hall. "Papa," she said when she saw the man standing there. Throwing herself into his arms. "What are you doing here? Where is mother?" (Colin/Vincent)Before Colin could respond, Tori suddenly headed towards the hallway. He spotted their father at that moment and was glad for the sudden intrusion into their home. He made his way to Vincent and held out his hand in greeting, "hello, father." Vincent held Tori close and shook Colin's hand, the two sharing a friendly smile. "I have come to meet this new prince that everyone is talking about. Mother had to remain at home to take care of some things." He walked back into the kitchen with his children. "Tell me how are things here and son, I am curious to know more about this Katya that Tori is speaking about." (Katya)Katya started a text conversation. "What did you think of the new Prince?" She sent it with a smile. Tag: Tori | | Virus-free.www.avg.com |

(Khadashee) "How wonderful," she said taking his arm and heading back inside the restaurant. "I have already eaten, but I will be happy to keep you company for a bit," she said avoiding his question about Draven. She nodded to Mickey again and took the seat she had just vacated with Draven since it was still open. "So, tell me about yourself Damon. I want to hear all about your story." (Damon) "Actually," Damon said as he waved the waitress away and headed them back out the door, "I am wanting to explore the town. Tell you about myself. Where to begin? My mother is a simple woman. She is a tavern wench, but has started remaining at home more these days. She was not surprised when I said I wanted to find my brother. In fact she had encouraged it. What would you like to know?" Tag: Khadashee

(Gen) Gen blinked when there was no response and he realized he was talking to himself. "Hmmm. Guess I'll have to go find someone," he muttered to himself as he rose from the bed. Once he was out in the hall, he started wandering, hoping to find someone - anyone - in this strange place. "Hello? Is there anyone here? I... I heard this was a place where... where people like me could go. Is there someone I could talk to? Hello?" (The Hallways) Suddenly there was a the sound of doors opening and the hallways were filled with students moving from one classroom to another for their next class. There were a few that noticed Gen, but they just gave him a wave and kept walking. "Hi there, you must be new since you are just standing there?" A petite Asian male with long flowing jet black hair and green eyes said as he stopped to greet Gen, "I'm Akira." He said holding out his hand in welcome hand shake. (Roddy) Roddy began to look frustrated. "I came out to find you because this girl suggested that I should. I mean, if I'm going to be living here, I'd kinda like to find out more about it from someone who already lives here. Wouldn't you?" (Donny) Donny paused and thought for a moment, then said, "Misty I am guessing? If so, then are you sharing the room with me? Is that why she sent you out here? What do you want to know?" He finally fully let his guard down and moved so that he was then sitting on the ground with his back against the logs. "May as well have a seat. What some water, I've got a second bottle in my bag there." Tag: Gen, Roddy

(Khadashee) Khadashee smiled at his greeting as he approached. She wondered if he was still considered a prisoner. “Good Afternoon to you as well. It is good to see you out and about. Does the first mate know you are off the ship?” (Damon) With a smile, Damon stepped next to Khadashee and offered his arm, "yes he does. After I swabbed the deck I was free to leave the ship. Tell me, where has Captain Draven gone off to leaving you on your own?" Tag: Khadashee

(Victoria) "It’s called diversification Brother. Should we put all of our eggs in one basket don’t think so. What if she can’t provide? What if she recognizes the monopoly and starts to price gouge? There’s so many variables and what ifs. Besides father always taught us to be better safe than sorry because there’s always a first time for everything. I understand you trust her because of your history. And I am find with You want to make sure that we give her our business. I’m just saying that we should always be prepared. Nothing more nothing less.” Victoria eyed him then, “but what’s going on though? You usually like me always be prepared. Let’s be three moves ahead mentality before. There’s something between you and Katya that you’re not telling me?” (Vincent) Vincent had made his way to Raconteur City when he had heard about the newly awakened Prince and knew that he needed to see the twins as well. He had walked through their facility before making it to their office. He heard Tori asking Colin about a woman as he stepped into the doorway and waited to hear his son's response. (Colin) Colin caught himself before he responded and knew that Tori would tell if he was lying. "Well, um...we have been chatting is all...nothing in regards to you and I or our business." (Katya) Katya made her way back to her haven, making sure she wasn't followed. Once there she slipped inside and made herself comfortable. A glass of wine in her hand and a silk gown wrapped around her figure, she lounged comfortably on the couch and picked up her phone. Tag: Tori

(Gen) Gen woke. It took a moment for him to orient himself in the unfamiliar surroundings. He remembered coming to the building, being invited inside, eating, and then collapsing from exhaustion. He also remembered the girl called Liza. Could he trust her, he wondered? Probably. If she was going to turn him in, she'd just had hours of opportunity to do so but instead had just let him sleep undisturbed. "Good... morning?" Gen said uncertainly. He glanced over at the window for confirmation but it could've been morning or afternoon or evening for all he could tell. His stomach chose that moment to rumble embarrassingly. "Uhm, I hate to ask, but is there anything to eat on hand?" The androgyne shrugged in apology. "Because of the way I was designed, I'm kinda hypermetabolic. I need it to fuel all of the different things my body can do." (No response) As Gen finished speaking, there was no response. He was in a room by himself. (Roddy) "I'm Roddy," he began. "Don't ask me what it's short for. And I came to seek you because Misty told me you were around and nobody else seems to be." He rolled his eyes as he added "I assure you it wasn't because I heard you had a charming personality. And even if you did, I'm not queer for guys so it wouldn't matter anyway." "So, your turn: why're you here? And why shouldn't I seek you of all people out?" he asked, mimicking Donny's tone mockingly. (Donny) Donny gave Roddy a sideways smirk, "uh, no, not interested in guys either. As for seeking me out, most just don't. So, before I tell you anything else about me...why did you come out here to talk with me?" Tag: Gen, Donny

(Ari, Eli) Ari paused. His face growing tight in disgust. His hand posing on and off his gun, his trigger finger ready to squeeze. He was calculating his odds. And Eli knew it. Despite how many years they had have been apart, Ari was still her twin. And very few of his mannerisms changed. Right now he was calculating his odds of escape. And furthermore, he was calculating his odd of escaping with her. She had no doubt that she could get away, and she had no doubt that he could get away, she just had every doubt that they could get away. And despite how she felt about her brother now that it means you wanted any harm to come to him. “It’s OK Ariein.” Elisiana said her eyes connecting with Hollywood’s. There was amusement in her deep brown depths. “She was never gonna catch me if I didn’t stop, her dog isn’t that good? Besides, she deserves to know that there is a hit on her head and a target her back. And I’m not the only assassin coming for her." "Did you say assassin?” Ari said lowering his gun. “You’re a fucking assassin.” Eli shrugged. “So… Hollywood…” she said with an amused smirk. “So are we gonna do this here? Or Are you gonna take me up back to your hideout and Let your goons rough me up a little bit…you know make me talk.” (Hollywood/Diego/Troops) Hollywood listened to Eli and gave a shrug when she heard there was a hit on her. "Won't be the first time and I think Diego is that good." She lowered her gun and walked up to Eli, the rest of her troops still aiming at the two. "So, you're an assassin, not a very good one since I am still standing. No, we aren't going to do this here, guards." She said and she was quickly handcuffed and being carted across the way to the main building of the complex. "And just so you know, I don't take anyone to my hideout as you put it. I have nothing to hide." She waited until the group had entered the building before she turned to Ari. "Well, this has turned out to be an interesting turn of events. You are welcome to remain here or leave, the choice is yours." She then turned and headed towards the main building as well, Diego in step beside her. Tag: Ari, Eli

(Rhemy and friends) “One, we aren’t friends” Alex said. “we all went to the same boarding school. And she was just as much of a terror then as she is now.” Rhemy said “Well at least now she is someone else’s problem now,” JD said. “hopeful after this wedding she will leave us alone.” Alex said. “She gets on my last nerve." (Carmen) "I see," Carmen said then finished her glass of wine. The waitress came, everybody order. The food came and everyone enjoyed their meals. Afterwards, something sweet. As they ate their deserts Carmen offered up am idea, "you all want to go to a private beach? I know of a place that is private and I have a special invitation any time I come here..." She paused and with a wink, added "....and no one will disturb us so we can swim however we wish." Tag: Rhemy and Friends

(Khadashee) Khadashee felt terrible about making Bridget cry. She didn’t mean to do that. She should have let Draven tell her about the baby. She nibbled on her lips as she left the store to wait outside for the pair. Should she go home? And let the two of them just have this time. As she began to pace in thought she looked up to see Draven’s brother. She smiled but pulled hands back before she waved remembering how Draven felt about his brother. “Hello Damon,” she said as he approached. (Damon) Damon had been enjoying this pirate town and was looking forward to enjoying a pint in the local pub when he heard his name as he saw his brother's lady. "Good afternoon...Khadashee was it?" He asked with a smile as he gave her a slight bow. "Where is the great Captain Draven, thought he wouldn't let you out of his sight." (Draven/Bridget) Draven decided that he and Bridget needed a little more time together, just the two of them, "say, are our favorite pets still around or are they off in the hills playing?" Bridget lit up, "nope, they are here. Shall we go and have a ride?" Draven turned their trip and they headed down a small alleyway to the livery. Once there they saddled up, Draven his grey roan Appaloosa mare, Wayzata and Bridget on her red dappled Welsh pony, Ginger. Together they road off on a path that lead to the beach. Tag: Khadashee

(Victoria) “No, not as of yet. I will be reaching out to her on Monday to set up a meeting. I have a few meetings to arrange, but I also have some addition vendors I think we should consider just in case Katya can't provide a supply. What do you think?” (Colin) Colin looked up at his sister, "can't provide...she hasn't ever let us down. I don't think we have to worry about it." He woke up his computer and started putting together his emails for the potential clients for the five humans that his sister hadn't had matched to anyone. "Besides, she loves providing us the humans that she had used for the vampire blood supply, because she doesn't have to worry about erase their memories or killing them to keep them quiet." (Katya) Once the shooter had been apprehended, the lock down on the Midnight Society had been lifted and everyone quickly and quietly left the building to return to their lives. Katya was glad to be away from that place. She didn't mind making her introductions to the new Prince, but didn't like being in lock down because someone had decided to try and kill her. Tag: Tori

(Eli, Ari) Ariein was stunned. He had not seen his sister in…decades. He often wondered if she was still alive. And here she was. So many thoughts and emotions ran through his head. He had so many questions. Ari was so taken aback that when the werewolf moved it stunned him. And the next thing he knew he was holding his sister. Ariein quickly moved to step behind Diego, putting his gun to the man’s head but he spoke to Hollywood. “Call off your dog or I will blow his head off his body.” "Well well well looks like the band is back together.” Eli smirked. (Hollywood/Diego/Troops) As soon as Ari raised his gun to Diego's head, he too was suddenly surrounded by guns and Hollywood smiled for a moment, then spoke, her own gun aimed as well, "Ariein, I think you are slightly out numbered. She is coming with us one way or another. What's it going to be? Alive or dead?" She knew that Diego would take a bullet for her and he wouldn't back down. She also knew that, Ariein knew, that if he pulled that trigger, he and his sister would also be killed. It was his choice at this point. Tag: Ari, Eli

(Rhemy and Friends) “well it’s nice to meet you.” Cindy said. “I am so sorry I haven’t been able to spend anytime with my oldest friend. wedding responsibilities has me so swamped. I’ve had to spend so much time with Kevin’s family. They’ve come from all over the world you know. He even has a cousin that the Kennedy. maybe I’ll introduce you to him at the wedding if there’s time or not... Anyway, I have to go and get ready for tonight. I hope to see you all there. It was nice meeting you again Carmen. Toodles” “Toodles” the three friends said back then burst into laughter. (Carmen) Carmen gave a little chuckle herself, then caught her breathe, "goodness, is she always like that? I don't think she breathed once while she was talking to us. She sure likes to boast, but hey, guess when your a bride...so your her oldest friend, huh." Carmen said as she gave Rhemy a wink and nudge. "Just how old of a friend are you?" Tag: Rhemy and friends

(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)
