MacabreSaVant: Sasha was already home, they had done their..date night, had their romp of love and were now relaxing after a nice long bath. Mars was in some pajama black pants and muscle shirt, barefoot, propped on the back patio swing chair with a beer in hand, waiting on Sasha to join him watch the night. The sound of the bugs and wildlife as he let his blues wander over the trees that led into the forest. -d
Sasha M Gray: In a tank top and a pair of yoga pants, Sasha padded barefoot out to the patio, a fresh beer in hand as she settled beside Mars, one leg folding under her, as she ducked under his arm and leaned into him. The beer was tipped up and sipped from. The night was quiet, peaceful. Except for that couple down the street that seemed to feel the need to fight before they fucked. Apparently they were of the opinion that angry sex was the best.
Alex Vipond: It was late, but Alex wanted to discuss a few things that were probably best kept in person and without digital record of. With that in mind, he rolled up onto the apron, killing the engine of that murdered out Benz. Sliding out, he glanced around as he stepped back and swung the car door shut. Alex's gaze turned up the street toward the home of the Angry Sex Couple and he smirked. Alex was not opposed to the more vigorous form, he just didn't feel the need to get pissed off to get there. He started for the house, then paused, head canted to the side, before he rounded the house toward that back porch swing. "Hey." Wasn't like he was gonna creep up on them. Hell they'd smell his scent and his Doublemint long before they saw him.
MacabreSaVant: They smelled it miles away when he was heading towards them. It was a scent one couldn't just forget. Besides, being as they shared a link now, Mars had a new feeling of the Vampire around him. If he was close, Mars tended to feel calmer. Not that he wasnt already but, Alex's presence had him relax even more. Arm curled around Sasha, lazily draping around her shoulders. Blues slipped to the Vampire as he made his appearance. " Busting a cruise?" Drawled out. Small smile pulled at his lips before his beer rose once more and he took a slow drink. Enjoying it. -d
Sasha M Gray: Sasha smiled at everyone's favorite vampire. "Hey, Alex. You want a beer?" She was already rising to grab one. Even if Alex didn't want one, Mars would be needing one, soon enough. She'd be smart about it though, and toss the lot of them in the cooler and then dump ice over top. Bringing it back out, she settled back into place, the cooler set near her just under the porch swing, a beer pulled then, top popped and offered out to Alex.
Alex Vipond: "I was in the hood, figured it would be a good time to talk about the progress with Sedona." He smiled to Sasha and took the beer, then lifted it for a sip, taking a moment to analyze the taste before taking another sip after rolling his gum over to the other side of his mouth where he tucked it between teeth hand cheek. "Jake's got a lead, I think Paden may well be going with us to Germany to look into it."
MacabreSaVant: Mars remained relaxed. Though the fact Alex pointed out there was a lead in Sedona's case did get him to perk up some. Hand lightly dragged along Sasha's side, it was soothing to the man. " I can send some of the pack to assist" They were a small pack, but Ryder was proving himself worthy. Leland and Abby just weren't ready with all that had happened recently. Then he squinted a moment. " Or I can go.." He peered over at Sasha then to regard her. " That would leave you in my stead" She'd be making the decisions in case something dire happened in his absence. Maybe, if he went that is. He was needing to discuss this with Sasha after all, not only was she his Lupa, she is his woman so yeah. -d
Sasha M Gray: Snuggled under Mars' arm, Sasha nodded to the given information. She listened to them speak, but didn't interrupt. Without knowing details she had jumping in point. She'd hold her questions until they were done.
Alex Vipond: "Could use a few more roadies/security men." he nodded. "Shit gets crazy on the road. I've had fans follow me into the men's room. Girls clawing at us at airports. Arms got scratched to hell in Miami when some chick tried to rip his shirt off."
MacabreSaVant: A nod. " Cant go wrong with more security" Agreed. He once more glanced to Sasha, he felt her have that need to say something. Looking at her expectantly. -d
Sasha M Gray: "So did they find out whether it's boxers or briefs?" She couldn't not bust on him, after that. It was a moral imperative. "So what's the lead?" She regarded Alex as she sipped her beer.
Alex Vipond: "That I don't know. All I know is there's a possible contact in burg. Details are sketchy at best. I would far prefer to leave it in Paden's hands, he is the professional in regard to this stuff. All I'm doing is supplying the financing on the expedition."
MacabreSaVant: Mars didn't know who this Paden guy was, so he simply trusted Alex's instincts. Nodding, he finished his beer, setting the empty bottle to the side before snagging up another. Teeth grabbed the edge of the cap and popped it off, he spit the cap aside before taking another drink and then peered over at Alex. " Alright. Well, guess a trip is needed" -d Sasha M Gray: Sasha looked at Mars and nodded, then back at Alex. "What's your gut tell you on this?" Gut meant a lot in her line of work. After a while you just had a sense of how things would play out. Good or bad.
Alex Vipond: Lifting his beer he took a sip, then shrugged. "To be honest, I'm baffled. I've never heard of anyone, ever kidnapping our kind." Our kind in the loose sense as in those with supernatural qualities. "Maybe I'm naive, but who preys on the top of the food chain, you know?" That would be like a meerkat walking up to a lion and thumping him in the nose."
MacabreSaVant: "Our own kind does that. There are even humans who have specialized in retrieving such for adrenaline rush. " He had met a few of them, he had to kill a few of them as wells. His hand slipped down Sasha's waist, curled lightly to push up the fabric of her shirt and let his fingertips greet her flesh, gently caressing. -d

NiteotheAngel: It had been sometime since Kalypso had spent any time at the place she once called home. Part of her never expected to see the inside of this place for a while. She had aired it all out as all windows were open. She had sheets going and all the bathrooms had been cleaned from top to bottom. She was mopping the floor in the kitchen. Her and Sasha had gone grocery shopping the night before so the shelves were stocked full of food. and the fridge was full of all kinds of food but mostly meat. She was not sure exactly when they would be home but knew it would be soon. Since the grocery shopping was done. She spent most of the day cleaning house as she then moved to dusting as she waited for the floor in the kitchen to dry. Although it shouldnt take long.::"Thank you swifters.":: She then had to vacuum and finish the windows and things would be set and ready to go. Then she realized she hadnt cooked any food. Sasha had dropped her off before she had to head to work. She thought about baking a cake as she went to see what kinds had been picked up. She had been watching a lot of cooking shows. And debated on waiting for Sasha to help so they could talk more.::
InkedPr1ncess: It was weird for Bren to be going to Mars' house, or at least it felt like it. She'd never been to his place even before, but it felt right to her at least going to ask Kaly if she could do something to help. She knew the girl was there, and it was just time to put weirdness aside and everyone get together. If it came time that Mars and Leland didn't want company, she would go but at least she wanted to check. She gave a knock on the door, hoping not to scare the girl, and she was dressed down and comfy in case there was anything the girls hadn't done. :::
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso had a radio going so the place wasnt so quiet but she could still hear the door bell and things. She went to answer the door. Knowing that it probably wasnt the guys this since. Since they probably wouldnt be knocking and waiting to come in. She smiled as she seen Bren.::"Come In, Come In Your fine. Uhh If you are here to help. Thanks. Uh... Vacuuming needs to be done and windows. I am in the process of making up all the bedrooms and rotating the sheets and blankets.":: Remembering some of the comforters you didnt put in the dryer as she went outside hoping it didnt rain to check on them.::
InkedPr1ncess: It was definitely not much of a female house, but unless Kaly spruced it up, it wasn't likely to be. She had a smile on her face when she came in, putting her hand on Kaly's shoulder gently. "Just remember to stop and take a breath okay? It won't due your brothers to come home and find you collapsed from exhaustion. Just direct me to a vacuum cleaner and we can do windows after." She waited until she came back in from checking on the blankets to get started, and she was playing the good maid and taking directions. It was a friend coming back after all, the least that she could do was help. "Good of you guys to do this for them, make it a home again." :::
NiteotheAngel: "Yeah we tried. I know. I just want things to be right you know. I thought about getting flowers. Although I dont know when they will be here but I know it maybe soon. I spoke to Mars yesterday. He sounded okay but will need a lot of rest. Vaccum is in the hall closet. Its one of those dyson's I think with the whole air filtration thing on them.":: She smiles and nodds as she listens to Bren.::"Well where else would they go, Ryders? I mean that is an option too but I think them coming to their own home would be better.":: She sighs a bit as she thought about what to make for dinner. Or maybe bake a cake.::"Bren, Can you cook?"::
InkedPr1ncess: "You're right. They need to be at their own place, get them comfortable again. This is really nice though, you and Sasha did a good job." She went to get the vacuum from the closet, a close match to her own, and when she came back, she couldn't help smiling. "Yeah, I know how to cook, what do you have in mind? Think about what you want and when I get this done, I can start something. Unless you want to vacuum?" She didn't know when they would be arriving either, she had only heard second hand since she and Alex were out and about the other day when he got that signal. :::
Alex Vipond: Alex and Meghan had parted company at the airport, each having their own vehicles there as they'd left at separate times. Alex kissed her and sent her home to see to Gus, and told her he'd be home as soon as he got the boys settled at home. He tried not to look at those he passed as if they were dinner on the hoof. It wasn't easy. Like a drug addict who had fallen off the wagon, Alex had gotten a taste of the violence, the fear, the rage of ripping into a throat and the need for a repeat performance was clinging to him like the funk that had clung to Mars and Leland for the first half of their trip back to civilization. When Alex pulled up in front of the house, he looked toward Mars in the passenger seat. "You ready for this?"
MacabreSaVant: Anticipation. He had ridden with Alex back home, Meghan and Alex due to their bond would feel the anxious anticipation. He looked at Alex, those blues were intense a moment. "More than ever.." Growled response.
Leland: "The fuck you two jammerin about? Let’s go in...” Leland snarled lightly as he shoved the door open and slipped out. A wavered side step before he steadied himself and squinted at the house.-d
Alex Vipond: Alex pulled his door open and stepped out, a glance upward given and yes he was grateful for Seattle's mild climate but did the sunshine have to follow them north? Closing the door he moved around the car to offer himself up as a leaning post for Leland should the younger brother need it. "Let's go."
InkedPr1ncess: The vacuuming had been done fairly quickly, she had just gotten done one room and when she heard the car she set it out of the way because she had a feeling she knew what that meant. "Uh, Kaly...I think they're here." Maybe no one would think it was weird that her car was outside too, she just wanted to support and not be the elephant in the room. :::
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso heard the arrival of the car even from the bedrooms as she ran down the stairs. Looking to Bren.::"uh there should be steaks in the fridge and hamburgers and hotdogs. Sasha and i kind of raped walmart of their meat selection She nodded her head as she looked to Bren. Partially wanting to run out that door and go bombard them and partially staying inside. It was taking everything she had not to run outside and finish what they had to do. She tried her best to relax but her eyes welled up with tears. She couldnt believe it. She felt as though this whole thing was a dream or something. She felt like if she opened the door somehow that would cause her to wake up from the dream. She was so confused on what to do first. Then she thought about how the beds were not finished. She figured she would grab the comforters and blankets from the back porch and run them upstairs.::
Leland: Leland took the needed brace from Alex. Moving with the Vampire towards the house. There was people here he could smell them. Kalypso and someone else...
MacabreSaVant: Mars stepped out of the vehicle, a glance to Leland and Alex as they headed to the house he paused only a moment to take in the site of his home. The garage nearby, the other car was noted and a deep breathe was taken. The plethora of scents filled him. The forest, engine oil, Kalypso's scent and Brens. He was cleaned up,t hey both were, but they still looked like hell. The tainted smell of that drug they were withdrawing from clung to them still. Leland was thinner, looking almost gaunt and wirey. Mars, he was still broad, but not thick as he had been, their hair long and straw like, they needed rest and food to regain where they had been before all this had happened. –d
InkedPr1ncess: Kaly deserved that focus, she was the sister who thought she had lost her brothers and Bren went into the kitchen to start fixing up the food. Steaks and hamburgers at least. If the hot dogs needed to be fixed she could do those as well. But it gave her a chance to help and to stay busy and not draw attention to herself. The brothers woulod pick up her own scents as well because she was in their house. It was just a relief to have them home, and with their family where they belonged. She didn't come out yet when they walked in, it was better just to get something for them to eat first. :::
NiteotheAngel: "MARSTEN, LELAND JONES GET IN HERE NOW. STOP WITH THE SIGHT SEEING":: It was taking everything she had not to splinter the front door and run through it. She knew the guys couldnt believe that they were home but she was starting to impatient and she was getting ansy. She was trying to be patient as she was doing everything she could not to cry. She knew she had to talk with Alex at some point but figured he wanted to get home to Meghan. Right now it was about Mars and Leland finally coming home. She grabbed her phone and called Sasha and told her they were here. She knew she was still at work. She told sasha earlier that she could handle everything as far as fixing things up. Once she hung up the phone she was reminding herself not to cry. If not for their scent and Alex. She would barely have recognized them. She blinked her eyes now and then holding back tears.::
Sasha M Gray: Sasha had gotten a call that had her tied up most of the day. She'd finally gotten clear when she'd gotten the call that the boys were on their way home. The scent still clung to her. Death. The body had been discovered in the wee hours by a hiker and it was all too clear from the decomp that it had been there at least four days. Time or cause of death had yet to be established. All they had was so far a John Doe. Identity would have to come from DNA and facial reconstruction. She pulled up behind Alex's car and slid out, eyes on the brothers who were heading into the house. Stepping away from the car she swung the door shut as she did so, and moved to follow the Wild Bunch inside as her phone went off. She paused to pull it, half expecting it to be work. "Gray..."
NiteotheAngel: "Sasha Mars and Leland are here.":: She did not realize that Sasha was even there yet. Her heart was racing and she was trying everything in the world not to cry. But, the sound could not be hidden in her voice as she spoke. It was somewhat a sense of relief but also a bit scared. She thought she had hung up the phone but it was still on as she waited for her brothers to come in the front door.::
[bLeland:[/b] Leland was first into the house. Alex with him. Blues fell upon Kalypso and the other woman there, a tip of his head forward as he spoke. " Little sister..." Rumbled growl. –d
MacabreSaVant: Mars had been moving up the stairs after Leland and Alex, though the sound of the car, Her scent and voice had made him pause in his ascension into the house. He turned in time to see Sasha standing there, on the phone Did he go on into the house? No, he turned, redirected himself and strode to her instead. –d
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso looked to him::"Seriously, I should kick your ass or something for that? You come in here and just Little sister me?":: She hurriedly moved to him and hugged him. As the tears started to fall. She understood and knew why Mars would be delayed. After hugging Leland. She dried her tears as she looked to Alex.::"Thanks Alex. So much for this. I really do owe you for bringing my family back to me.":: She tried to be careful of the condition of all of them as she hugged and kissed them. Greatful to have them here.::"uh Bren is making steaks and hamburgers. Uh Alex. I think there is some things still stashed you know where. If not im sure I can find some. But, Im sure you want to get home to Meghan.":: She was so excited and happy and nervous to have them all home.::
InkedPr1ncess: That was the brother that she had never met before, she had only known about Mars until she had came back to Seattle. It was an emotional scene and she wasn't going to cry or anything, but she didn't want to interrupt it either. She gave a nod to Leland even though he wouldn't know her and to Alex she waved and gave a silent mouthed thank you. Then right back to the food she went, making sure to prepare plenty since no doubt the boys would be hungry. :::
Alex Vipond: As they stepped in and Kaly scolded, then made a beeline for Leland, Alex stepped back. A glance was given over his shoulder to Mars as he did an about face and headed for Sasha. He looked back at Kaly and smiled, and then the smile faltered and he looked back out the door to Mars and Sasha.
Sasha M Gray: Sasha was looking at her phone, one brow rising, as Mars did his turn around. She looked up to see him heading her way and she just stood there, stupidly, phone clutched in hand before she finally hit end and slipped it back into her pocket. All the while, her eyes never left Mars'.
Leland: Arms went around Kalypso, hugging her warmly. She would definitely feel the sharper edges of his body. He definitely needed to gain weight back. He pressed a kiss to the top of Kalypso's head and just hugged her. A glance to the woman he didnt know, just a faint nod before he edged on in towards a seat cause he was already getting tired. –d
MacabreSaVant: Those once bright blues were dull in shade, lack of nutrition perhaps, and his hair was lanky and straw like, but he was here. She'd definitely catch the faint scent of the drug he was pushing from his body. There was nothing that needed to be said at the moment, he simply continued on towards Sasha, and he didnt stop, his arms wrapped around her and pulled her into his frame to hug, embrace, hold her as his head tipped and pressed his face into the crook of her neck, breathing in Her scent. –d
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso wiped away the tears from her eyes. As she looked between Bren and Leland.::"Uh.... Bren Im sorry. This is my brother Leland. Leland that pretty lady is Bren.":: Smiles a bit as she helped her brother the best she could to a chair as she grabbed him a bottled water. She then went to catch Alex.::"Thanks Alex. I appreciate what you did. I know we have a lot to do yet. A lot of discussions need to be had. But, later. When Mars and Leland are better." She grabbed a couple bottles of water as she handed one to Leland on her way out and then went to Mars. Seeing him with Sasha she didnt say much as she had a bottled water for Mars too.::"I... uh... dont suppose anyone is hungry? Because Bren is making food inside.":: Swallows as she looked to Mars and Sasha. Really not wanting to disrupt them but wanting Mars to get settled in.::
InkedPr1ncess: It was understandable that he would be tired, after what she could only guess happened to him. Hadn't seen Mars yet but he probably had his own company outside. "Nice to finally meet you, Leland. I'm a friend of Mars and Kaly's. Can I help you out with anything?" If he was good, then she would get back to the kitchen but she wanted to help while she could. She thought it was only right she give the family some time as soon as she was done cooking. :
Alex Vipond: Alex hadn't moved, and he stood there, regarding Kaly for a long moment before she moved outside to offer water to Mars as he greeted Sasha. One hand lifted, finger and thumb pinching the bridge of his nose before he moved to the kitchen to find a drink. He stood there, staring into the fridge, and skipped right over his brand and went for the beer. The thought of drinking from a bottle at the moment was abhorrent.
Sasha M Gray: With Mars wrapping her in his embrace, she held onto him, relief flooding her in just knowing he was safe. Tears flowed and then Kaly was there, and Sasha stepped back, one hand swiping at her eyes as she shot a glance to the teen, and then looked back at Mars. "She's right; we need to get you inside."
MacabreSaVant: She pulled away from him, he felt her give a bit and then she pulled away, Kaly was there with the water, it was the last thing he wanted at the moment. He let a hand come up and lightly grip Kalypso in the back of the neck in a affectionate way and released as he just nodded. "Yeah...lets go inside.." The growled rumble ebbed past his lips. –d
Leland: Leland had settled on the seat in the living room and well, he nodded to Bren. " YEah..." In greeting and his head was lolling a bit before he simply passed out on the couch. He knew he was home, he was safe for the moment. –d
NiteotheAngel: Kaly whimpered a bit as she felt that grip. Slight growl passed her lips at first until she relized how light of a grip it was. ::"Sorry, I didnt mean to interrupt you and Sasha.":: Smirks as bit as she hugged Mars trying her best not to cry all over again. As she looked to Sasha and then back to Mars.::"Well, I will let you too do your thing because I doubt you are hungry for steak. Unless its on Sasha.":: Teasing her brother a bit as she smiled. And tried to take off again to go back and check on things in the house. She was not really sure what else to do. She was just glad her family was home.::
InkedPr1ncess: It was enough of a greeting, she smiled sympathetically when he basically passed out and she followed Alex back into the kitchen where she went back to preparing hamburgers while the steaks were cooking. "Are you all right?" she asked finally, wondering if he needed any help too. He didn't look like his normal Alex self. :::
Sasha M Gray: Eyes narrowed and Sasha regarded Kaly's back as she headed back into the house. "If I never have kids, it will be too fucking soon." She shook her head and started into the house, biting her tongue on anything else she may have wanted to say.
MacabreSaVant: Perhaps he was ignoring it, or he was too tired to notice, but something felt a little off and at the moment it didnt matter he was with his family. Moving on inside with the rest he noted Leland already passed out on the couch, which he paused a moment to rest his hand before the other mans nostrils to feel him breathing. It had become a habit from their captivity. Mars didnt know if Leland would make another bout each time they went through it. The thought of it had him growl low to himself, the flashback came and Alex would definitely be hit with the image watching Leland in half man half wolf form ripping apart a Leopard Man in the dirty ring. The connection was growing strong with Mars and Alex once more just by the proximity of them being close by. –d
Alex Vipond: Alex looked up at Bren, opened his mouth to say something, then snapped it shut. He took a drink of that beer he'd pulled and then lowered it. "Nothing that going to confession won't help." he tried to smile, but it fell short. Kaly's manner didn't help things, or the fact that he could hear the blood pumping through the veins of everyone in the room. "I'm just gonna .... step outside for a minute." Or several. He went down the stairs and out through the garage. That image from Mars didn't help matters and he leaned against the back wall of the house, looking out over the yard.
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso was not sure where to begin or what to say. She wanted to mend things with Alex but now was not the time. For now she sat in the kitchen and waited. Watched as Alex left. Tempted to follow him but decided against it. She was probably the last person that he wanted to deal with right now. She stayed put as she knew Bren had food going. She was not sure what to do except wait and be patient. When peopel were ready they would come. Right now it was just relief that her family was home.::
InkedPr1ncess: It was probably going to be awkward for everyone and she could understand why. She jst hoped for Kaly's sake that she didn't do anything rash again or it wasn't going to be pretty. She would stay herself just a little while, to make sure that everything was done and she would even help make up some plates but it really didn't seem appropriate for her to be there even for a friend. She did stand in the doorway long enough to wave to Mars, it had been a while and she was glad to see him again. :::
MacabreSaVant: As quickly as it came, the image was gone. He looked up to see Bren and he offered a slight smile. " Bren.. Thank you for helping.." He didnt know what to say or what to do, his eyes were slipping from them all and coming back to Sasha. He reached out towards her, his hand lightly brushed at her side, it wasn't a dream. She was here, he was actually here. Home. –d
Leland: Leland growled, and opened his eyes, a little startled it seemed and then he breathed seeing Sasha there. " Brass..." He growled and shifted on the couch. –d
NiteotheAngel: Kaly couldnt help but look to Leland and smirk and laugh a bit. It was probalby in appropriate but it was funny that the only thing to come from him was the word Brass. Not sure if it was a nickname between Leland and Sasha or what She moved from the kitchen and toward Leland as she sat with him by the couch. Talking to him::"Uh Leland you are home. I dont know what you have been through but I know it was hell. But you are home and you are not dreaming anything as far as being home.":: She didnt care if he was paying attention or not to what he was saying. She looked to Mars and Sasha Too. Not really sure what to say to them. She let Sasha do what she needed to.::
Sasha M Gray: Sasha smiled and lifted a hand, brushing his hair back from his face, before she looked at Leland. "You look like twenty pounds of shit in a five pound bag." She moved to settle next to him and wrap her arms around him as she'd done so long ago when he was wounded, and lending him her strength.
InkedPr1ncess: Bren wanted to check on Alex too, to see how he was doing, and she didn't know what had happened or if he needed alone time but even though he was just outside, she sent him a text and asked him if he needed to talk. She nodded to Mars, giving him a quiet answer of "No problem," and she found a couple trays to put the cooked steaks on and then the burgers came next. It was okay to be alone in the kitchen, the others needed each other and it would be time for her to go before long so they could have their talks or rest. :::
Leland: Leland could smell the food and it was causing his stomach to growl fiercely. A look to Kalypso as she spoke, and he just nodded. There was nothing he could say to emphasize what the fuck had gone on and if he would dream it or not. He was looking around, obviously, looking for Abby, a glance to Sasha and Mars, and being as he is hard headed, he remained silent on it.
MacabreSaVant: "Well, I feel it.." Growled response. Her arms were around him, just the feel of her frame against him helped, it soothed him and the beast inside him. Eased against her, he peered at her a long moment. Though, at the same time, he let his shields drop a moment, that heat radiated off of him and he sought out Alex. The man was going through turmoil. He wanted to take that guilt, that savagery from the Vampire's conscience. Give me the bad... Brother.. I can handle it.. –d
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso knew all to well what it was like to be through hell and back many times over. She did not say much as she spoke to Br to do exactly. As she sat and watched her brothers moved about the house and grab food as needed. She had not seen Abby in a while. And she knew Leland was looking for her. She went to grab beers for her brothers and something to drink for herself. Before settling down in the livingroom once more.::
Alex Vipond: It wasn't guilt over what he'd done. It was guilt over having enjoyed it. It wasn't something that one could simply transfer. Like a drug addict, when falling off the wagon, the best one could do was distract oneself from it. Throw yourself into other things, until the craving for more subsides. The text from Bren was responded to by Alex rising and coming back into the house. He found a place to prop up the wall and simply regarded the others.
InkedPr1ncess: That Bren noticed, the smell of the food was probably wafting through the house and good thing she knew how to cook. She brought Sasha out a beer in case she needed a drink, since Kaly hadn't offered her one and she told them all that the food was almost done. She found plates and silverware to put on the table and things she could cut up to put on the burgers in case. She didn't know what else to do after that, when it was all done, she came back in, nodded to Alex, and asked if anyone was ready to eat. :::
NiteotheAngel: Kaly did nto mean to be rude but right now her concern was for her brothers and Alex. Although she didnt show it. She sighed as she relaxed. She moved over to lean against the wall with Alex. Not saying a word. Not sure what to say to him really but she did want to amend things with him. ::"Alex, I am sorry for everything. You have been nothing but a friend. I have been lost I guess which is no excuse."::
Sasha M Gray: Taking the beer Bren offered, Sasha smiled to her. "Thanks." God knew she needed it. She shifted, moving to settle between the boys and lend strength to Leland as well, though he probably wouldn't much care for the smell that clung to her. She gave Bren a nod and a tilt of head. If she were to settle on Leland's other side, they could both lend some strength to the younger.
MacabreSaVant: With all that they had been through, the smell didnt bother either of them. Death, blood, rotting flesh. It was of the norm from the recent events. When the females repositioned themselves, Mars settled on one side of Sasha. His eye eyes rose up to watch Kalypso and Alex. " What has gone on?"
InkedPr1ncess: It was not going to be a problem, she knew she didn't know Leland but when she thoght that he had gone through hell, any help would be appreciated. When Mars asked that question she looked to Sasha and grimaced, sitting down on the other side of Leland so that she and Sasha could both help him out. "Hope this is all right," she whispered, she hoped there wasn't going to be an argument but she could see it coming given recent events. :::
Leland: Leland didnt rebuke their company. Bodies touching, it eased him, comforted him and he felt a bit of strength seep into him. Eyes closed a moment while listening. –d
NiteotheAngel: Kaly looked to her brother.::"You dont worry about. Right now you just eat until you are about to burst. we have a fridge stocked for as much food as you need. Its something between Alex and I we need to fix. Dont worry. Okay."
Alex Vipond: It was a long moment before he spoke and when he did, it was low, as Alex did his best to not make a scene. "You know, I might actually believe that if it weren't for the fact that not once, but twice within five minutes of my arrival, you tried to dismiss me." He pushed from the lean and moved away, eyes settling then on Mars. Well that didn't go as well as he'd thought and he looked from Mars, to Kaly and back. "Long story short, she's been a hateful little bitch." Kidd gloves were off and he was just grouchy enough to tell it like it was. He looked at Kaly. "Don't you fucking dare tell him what he should and should not do."
Sasha M Gray: The shit was hitting the fan and Sasha was looking for a place to duck. She slouched down on the couch a bit, snuggled into the boys and waiting for the tension that was sure to roll from Mars.
NiteotheAngel: She tried to put on that happy smile as she she wanted to ease Mars a bit when asked what happended. Then she didnt say a word as she look toward the floor. How? When? She didnt mean to dismiss Alex if that is what had happened. She had hugged him and Leland when they came in.::"I thought the focus should be on Mars and Leland getting better my mistake.":: She then went to step outside::
MacabreSaVant: Tension of course was there. It spiked up immediately and probably stabbed the people around them in a metaphysical way. Blues moved from Alex to Kalypso, who was already moving to the door. " Kaly... you havent been dismissed from here.. you stay.. " That growl rolled forward. " I have been gone.. Alex has spoken what has happened ..it is vague.. I want to know it.. all. There is no excuse to be acting like a shit head if you have been especially while Leland and I were ..." That trailed off. That heat scorched momentarily and then simmered. " Explain..to me what has happened." He wanted to know what the fuck has been going on in his absence. –d
InkedPr1ncess: Bren had seen and heard enough for a few weeks to know that this was not going to go over smoothly or well at all. It was a good thing that Ryder wasn't there because he'd just flat out spell it out alongside Alex. She looked to Sasha like she needed her to get closer to Mars for the time being and she felt that tension like knives. Moving in a little closer to Leland, she apologized quietly to him and she was going to stay out of the line of fire even though she too had been a witness to how Kaly had behaved. :::
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso stopped in her tracks as she heard her brother speak. :: "Alex and I got into a fight. I spent the night out in the woods with one of our own that was a bit skittish around a lot of people. And I guess I didnt take to well to the new Ulfric. Some of it I have been working on. Im slowly on the mend with Sasha and was trying to mend things with Alex. Ryder has been taking care of the shop and I have been removed from the pack.":: swallows as she spoke trying to think a minute. ::"apparently I was not aware that i dismissed Alex when he first got here. Cause I had thanked him for getting you and Leland. And when we fought Alex told me how he couldnt feel you. And then Deacon told me what a triumvirate was. And how signals can be blocked. I thought Ryder was replacing you in the pack like you and Leland were not allowed to come back. I guess Bren, Sasha and the others decided that Ryder should be Ulfric. Since you and Leland had been gone for so long. Now lately people are starting to talk with me more and not just at me. Alex wanted me to put away a gift that could have hurt me and that little thing turned into a bigger thing. And this is the first time I had seen him to be able to speak to him about anything. And I was on house arrest until recently when Felix broke the ankle monitor. because he thought I was being held against my will and he didnt understand that it was punishment for something I had done. "::
Sasha M Gray: "Oh don't sugar coat it now." Sasha finally spoke up. "You've been disrespectful, argumentative and downright combative. You questioned authority wanting to know why you were not involved in decisions regarding the pack when you are not only a teenager, but also not an alpha. When that was pointed out to you, you became downright belligerent. You have tossed your 'status' as sister to Mars and Leland at everyone as if that is supposed to make up for the fact that you're too fucking young to be taking on the responsibilities that you tried to take on. And don't even try to make it out like it's anyone's fault but your own.... The very fact that you were in a fucking tracking anklet speaks fucking volumes. I had half the Seattle PD out looking for your ass when you were out gadding about. Thank you for the voice mail the following day, by the way."
NiteotheAngel: She took a breathe as she tried to remember more. ::"Kind of went shopping and got my ears pierced.":: Softly sighs: Before she could finish Sassha had jumped in.::
Alex Vipond: "She's been disrespectful to her elders and to the pack. And yes...." Alex looked directly at her. "When you tell someone they can go now, you're dismissing them. You did it to me the day I came in to get my oil changed because you didn't like the fact that I took exception to your friend giving you a toxic substance. Then you argued with me over it. Then when we had our little meeting, you were all up in everyone's grill over shit that was not your decision to make. And when you think about it, you knew before the rest of the pack so don't even try and say that you were not informed."
MacabreSaVant: Mars had stiffened. Hearing it all come pouring out of Kaly's mouth. Then Sasha and Alex. The turn of events that had happened in his absence. A New Ulfric, new leadership, Kalypso's behavior. It was a whirlwind of information to take in all at once. That anger and rolled up in him, and it was hard to keep the beast at bay inside him, he was weak on food, rest.. and everything. Though the emotions were riling. " Kalypso... you will apologize, sincerely, right now, to Alex and Sasha.. You will make amends, how that will be made.. I will let you know. After you have made your apology and I feel it is heartfelt and true, you will go to your room where you will wait for me to deal with you. Do you understand"It was more of a statement than a question. His voice was shaking with anger. Alex, definitely would feel that anger, as well as Meghan where she was.
Leland: Leland was silent, he was far too weak to deal with politics, wolf politics, and what had been happening. Though he watched Kalypso at this moment. STubborn, much like himself. A nod to her to do as Mars said. –d
NiteotheAngel: "What about Alex and what he did. Oh wait he is not a kid so its okay for him to invade my mind and listen in on private conversations that I have with friends.":: She really did not want to do this now. But, here it was and how it was she nodded as she looked to Mars.::"Yes, Marsten":: She tried to calm down as she sighs. ::"And Sasha I wasnt Gadding about. I was looking after one of our own. But, I couldnt possibly do that. You seen Felix he has been to the house you seen how skittish he was. With just you and me. Could you imagine what he would do with the whole pack?":: Believe it or not she was getting to the apology but there were some things she had to get off her chest first. Hoping someone would understand. ::"My point with my brothers was that they are all I got. Mars and Leland is all I got. I have no other family then them. Most of the people here have parents or memories of parents. Mars and Leland are it for me. They are mom and dad. Yes, i was frustrated and angry and upset. And I guess it did not come out in the best of ways. My understanding of pack was through family. I was trying to do my part to keep things going in my brothers absence. Doing what I could to help out. I guess I did bite off more then I could chew. But, I thougth I had to handle it all because they were gone. It wasnt that the guys couldnt do it. It was i figured the guys preferred working on the cars instead of dealing with customers and office work.":: Slowly she calmed down and was able to get her thoughts together.::"Alex, Im sorry. You have been nothing but a friend to me. How I seen and felt things was a bit different then the way you seen them. I didnt mean to upset you like I had. Its difficult when there is noone your age around to blow off steam with. And people talk around you or tell you what you should be doing. Or how you cant do this or that or your only fifteen. Its difficult to forget my age when I get reminded of it at least once. If not more either at the shop or when I am out. I didnt mean for things to get so out of hand between us. "::
InkedPr1ncess: Bren couldn't control this, she could feel the anger coming off Mars and she didn't have to be bonded to him to know how upset he was. Of course it had all came rolling out at once and she was afraid that Alex was going to come undone. Since Kaly was going on and on and still not catching onto the idea of taking blame for herself she looked to Leland and motioned to the kitchen. "You want something to eat? Looks like you could use it. Come on, I'll help you in there if you want." She didn't feel ready to open her mouth yet, and ask if Kaly planned on apologizing to everyone that she had offended. "I'm a good cook, I promise you'll enjoy it," she said finally, helping him out of the room might help him overall. :::
NiteotheAngel: She then looked to Sasha.::"Sasha, Figured you were taking me in because you felt you needed too. Not because of wanting too. But, after the past day I realize differently. I know you had to do what was necessary for the pack. I was the problem and I had to be dealt with as needed. I didnt mean to worry you so much. I was with one of our own and safe. I figured it would be okay. I was trying to get him to come around to the pack. But, I knew"::
Alex Vipond: That... was it. It wasn't just that she was once more trying to justify her actions. She was also disrespecting Mars in the process by not shutting the fuck up and doing what she was told. The more she rambled the more she sounded like Charlie Brown's teacher; a cacophony of never ending, unintelligible sound. Alex moved so fast it was nothing but a blur. His own anger, Mars' anger, and Kaly's disrespect and continued shift of blame all roiled around and triggered that same reflex that saw fangs sinking into the drug runner's throat. Only this time it was Kaly whose head was being jerked back. Kaly's neck whose skin was being pierced . Kaly's blood that was hitting the back of his throat.
NiteotheAngel: Her head tlited back as Alex sank his fangs in she gasped as her apology to Sasha was disrupted.::"Alex.... Alex..... Stop... Please...":: Tears well up in her eyes as she pleaded with him to stop.::"Im sorry."::
Sasha M Gray: This is why it's always a cautionary tale to bring a vampire to a party.
MacabreSaVant: It was a blur of movement from Alex and he was on Kalypso, which inturn had Mars move immediately from where he had been sitting. The flare of power erupted from him clashing with Alex's cold and he was upon Alex to rip him away Kalypso. Angry snarl, he was no match to the Vampire which was fed, stronger, and well rested. Still, he put all he had into prying the Vampire apart from the wolf pup, their connection sparked at the clash. –
Leland: Leland had been rising up already to go to the kitchen as Bren suggested when all hell broke loose. He let out a snarl as well and moved forward jump into the fray with Alex, Mars, and Kalypso. Using all he could to get the Vampire subdued. –d
InkedPr1ncess: So bad idea, very bad idea. Apparently she didn't quite make it and she was not going to say she was surprised at all at what Alex did. It had been a long time coming and now because of Kaly, what should have been a celebration of sorts for the brother's safety had turned into a nightmare. no way was she going to step in and try to subdue Alex but the least she could do was try and do something to prevent it worse. "Let me get to Kayl," she offered, alex had been ripped away from her by Leland and Mars and before the girl got killed she was trying to get in there. "Come on, I'm taking you to your room. Let's get this taken care of, okay?" She put her arms around Kaly as easily as she could and as upset as she was, for Alex's benefit she was getting her out of the room. "Show me where your room is?" :::
Alex Vipond: As he was pulled and tugged, he fought against it, but it was that connection that broke through the haze and Alex finally staggered backward. A look of confusion crossing his face as he regarded each in turn. The fact that he had Mars and Leland on him dawned and he looked between them and then to Kaly, head canted to the side as if he couldn't quite grasp what the fuck had happened. Then the taste in his mouth hit, and the sight of Kaly's throat, and God help him the hunger hit all over again.
NiteotheAngel: She continued to plead with him for as long as she could. She looked seen Mars and Leland jump him.::"Mars. Stop.... Leland stop.... No guys stop. Alex, Please stop.":: She knew after this whatever Mars and Alex had would be finishes as she looked to Bren.:: "Bren, Im fine. Go help my brothers and Alex. They need you. More so then I do. I can clean myself up. Besides I caused and deserved this. Im the brat child.":: She put her hand to her throat as she went upstairs to get cleaned up and head to her room.::"Noone wants to hear that im sorry for anything or why. All they focus on is how I wronged them."::
InkedPr1ncess: "No, Kaly, trust me, you need me. You need somebody because next time he will kill you if someone else doesn't. Just shut up and take the help, please?" She had to keep the girl out of the line of fire, the guys had to work this out and Kaly didn't need to be there anymore. She followed along with her, trying to just go with the moment, she didn't want to have to yell at her. "You and I can talk, okay? But please, stay away from there for now." :::
MacabreSaVant: Leland was helping Mars pin Alex down, growling, his teet bared at the Vampire. –d
MacabreSaVant: teeth. Alex Vipond: Don't you bare your teet at me, damn it. MacabreSaVant: xD!!! Sasha M Gray: JFDs MacabreSaVant: Could suckle the teet. Sasha M Gray: Leave the nipples out of it. MacabreSaVant: -dies-
MacabreSaVant: Ahem. Mars snarled aswell, his voice was a mix between beast and man. " Get her out of here!" He told Brenley, his eyes on Alex, the hunger hit him again as it did Alex and he snarled loudly again. Hands gripped the VAmpire by the throat and held him there. Well one hand, the other hand on his wrist to keep him down. " We need to hunt. " Not sure if that actually was a good idea, but he felt the hunger much like Alex, and instead of the blood, he wanted the meat. –d
NiteotheAngel: Kaly was not in the mood to argue. This was supposed to be about her brothers. Tears well up in her eyes. This was not what she wanted for her brothers homecoming. She just went to the bathroom to get cleaned up. Not that there was much to clean. As she nodded to Bren knowing she was not far behind. She sighs. As she eventually made it to her room and just laid on her bed.::
Alex Vipond: Hunt. That was not something he'd actually done in centuries. "Just get me some blood. I need blood...." At this point he'd take bottled soccer mom. Anything to get over the feel of fang to flesh and that hot fount hitting the back of his throat.
InkedPr1ncess: No way she was going to argue with Mars once she heard that tone and she barely glanced at them before she went along with Kaly. Making sure she got herself cleaned up before she went into the room with her and shut the door behind them. She sat on the side of the bed, wondering how in the hell to even begin to soothe what happened. But now was not a time to bring up the girl's shortcomings, she was trying to keep her from getting killed. "Kaly, I know you don't believe this, but in a small way I know how you feel. Circumstances aren't the same but I know how it feels to keep talking and nobody listents no matter how much you apologize. And I know you think I probably hate you too, but I'm not here to point fingers. I just want to help because I care about Alex but I care about your brothers too and I want to help." :::
Leland: Leland was still holding Alex down as well, he didnt know if he let go if Mars could hold the man down and keep him subdued. " Sasha! A little help here!" –d
NiteotheAngel: Kaly looked to Bren.::"There is nothing you can do. Once again I screwed up. I dont say things right. I dont say things sincerely enough or mean them enough. Or whatever people expect. I could apologize until Im blue in the face and it wouldnt matter because I didnt do something right. They dont want to hear the why. And I didnt do it to be disrespectful Believe it or not. but its easier to focus on the bad of someone."::
Sasha M Gray: Rising she pulled her cuffs and motioned Leland out of the way. "Do you really think he needs to be held down at this point?" Sasha looked at Alex, and brushed his hair back from his face. "I'm going to cuff you, just so they'll let up, okay? You know the drill."
Alex Vipond: Yes, he did. Remembered it well and he nodded, croaking out, "Yeah." His head hit the floor and he just lay there, offering himself up to be trussed. Mostly because he didn't trust himself any more than they did.
InkedPr1ncess: "I can do something, Kaly, that's what you don't understand. It's not just keeping you from getting killed, but I can at least be there for you, to talk when you need it. I didn't offer you that once just to bullshit you. They don't want to just focus on the bad parts of you. I know there has to be more of you, but you have to admit, that's the side that people have been seeing most of lately. If you mean what you say, you mean your apologies, then show them that you mean it. Don't jst say it and then go back on it the next day. I know you're capable of that. If you want my help, I'm here." Maybe she did want to help because in that way, she knew what Kaly was going through. But if the girl was willing to work with her, they could go a long way. :::
MacabreSaVant: Mars allowed Sasha to do so and he was up moving to the kitchen to get that bottle of Blood,heated up, as well as he snagged a couple of steaks, tossing one to leland as he ripped into another. Savages. Then brought the bottle to Alex's mouth. " Drink up partner.." Smirk. –d
Sasha M Gray: It's the awesome of the cuffs. They have that effect. Once A
NiteotheAngel: "I dont remember going back on my word on anything though. I didnt know i was supposed to call Sasha and Ryder concerning the situation with Felix. I was just focus on keeping him from bolting. Anyway it doesnt matter. Im trying to understand this whole pack thing. But, its difficult when everytime you do something or try at something. You hit a wall with someone and upset someone. And people cant help but remind me of my age. Which in reality there is no proof of how old I truly am. And everyone told me when i first got here i needed to be a kid and when I am its all wrong how I go about things. Damn at this point part of me would rather be back in the cage and be a government experiment."::
InkedPr1ncess: Bren didn't know what to do and she was fighting the urge to tell Kaly exactly where she could go. Right then, she was the only thing that was keeping her from being a snack of Alex's and she cared too much about him to let him go down for her. "Okay, Kaly, I'm doing what I can here but when you're throwing everything back in my face that I'm trying to help you with, it's hard, People want you to be a kid, you're fifteen. But being a kid and having fun does not mean going off and doing whatever you want to. You are a smart girl, you have it in you to make good choices instead of bad ones. I'm not saying this stuff to hurt you, I'm trying to open up your eyes so you can repair things and get your life back. If you don't think there's anything i can do, I'll just go and leave you to fend for yourself in a house full of people you've angered." :::
MacabreSaVant: Mars practically poured the blood down Alex's throat so he could sate his Hunger.
Leland: Leland on the other hand had scooted back to lean against the couch and eat that steak. He need food and rest. Still his mind wandered and he had to wonder where Abby is. –d
NiteotheAngel: "I never went off and did what I wanted too. I dont know where people get that idea from. And people say Im fifteen like Im supposed to knwo what to do. Hell, to me thats just a number. Thats like saying your are 22. Like you know what is expected of you at 22. I have been doing what I thought was right by helping at my brothers shop. And keeping things going. I barely did anything outside of that. You know how frustrating it is to not have anyone to talk toabout how your whole family left and you think its your fault? Do you know what its like to come home to an empty house that once was filled with people. And have noone to talk to about it. And noone wants to hear about it because your just some kid."::
InkedPr1ncess: "Yeah, you know what" I do know what that's like. As a kid and as an adult. I know what it feels like to lose people you thought were family and friends because of something you did. And no amount of pleading or apologizing does any good. But I can't help you out if you want to shut me out. I'm trying to let you know somebody else has gone through what you have. Sorry then." She stood up, stretching out a little bit and she knew that she had failed getting anything accomplished with her. "You know where i am if you need to talk," she offered, getting up and moving out of the room. Time to join the rest of the crowd, with that sheepish look on her face. :::
Alex Vipond: Alex drank it, like it was the nectar of the Gods and even when the bottle was empty he was like a bird looking for more before he finally leaned back on his cuffed hands. The blood helped, and he let his eyes close trying to think of anything but the feel of fang to flesh.
Sasha M Gray: my ass reamed over the damaged anklet. Saying it was an accident doesn't fly with your talking government equipment."
MacabreSaVant: Mars had rolled back onto his heels and rose up to stand then. Staring down at Alex a moment before looking at Sasha and Bren. He heard this, the ankle monitor. Jaw clenched a moment as he nodded. " And what do you suggest Sasha" What decision was that, was what he meant.
Alex Vipond: Alex nodded to Mars, in response to both. He was okay but he still wanted more. The better sated the hunger the less likely he would snap. "How is she?" He looked at Bren, knowing she would realize he meant physically.
MacabreSaVant: Leland accepted the extra body beside him. He absorbed it in. –d
InkedPr1ncess: She put her hand on his thigh, just for comfort and nothing else, and she looked at Alex with compassion in her eyes. "She's gonna be okay, she cleaned up and I made sure that she was okay. But I just don't know what to do here, guys. I did my best. But even if i can identify with her, she doesn't want to see it or doesn't believe me. I'd like to think I can talk to anyone, but this one I'm afraid is out of my hands." :::
Sasha M Gray: "Someone is going to have to lay the law down to her. And we haven't made a dent in her behavior despite our best efforts to make her see logic and reason. She grew up more or less incarcerated. It could be she's institutionalized. Simply cannot function outside in society. I think a shrink would help. But I can't guarantee it will work. If that fails, then she's going to have to be sent to juvie if only to keep herself from pissing someone off who will snap her neck."
Leland: "No. " Leland spoke up then. " She's not going to be locked up like that.. Fuck that." His own anger spiked now. His eyes shot to Mars. Of all people who knew what it was like to be in the pen, Leland knew.
MacabreSaVant: Mars was silent. Blues fell upon his brother who finally said something more than just a few words. "No." He said as well. " The blame is on myself.." He added. " We havent exactly been here to actually give her that firm guiding hand." As much as he hated to admit it. ." She's young, she's naive, and she needs us too.. but Im not going to let her ass go back behind bars.. even if I have to get her ass on house arrest here. " –d
InkedPr1ncess: She knew what they had all gone through for Kaly, especially Sasha since the brothers had been gone. She had only seen part of it and she knew the girl was wrong, but in order for everyone to start healing, she was going to need help. "Sasha is right about the shrink, I think it would help. If you guys would let me, I'll make sure she goes. I gave her my number in case she needs to talk, and as much as she drives us all crazy, we didn't throw down up there. It's up to you guys, but I'll do it as a last resort." Maybe that would help Leland's anger, she felt even more since she was next to him. :::
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso finally came down out of her room. ::"Enough Stop. I screwed up. Peopel throw attittude. I tend to throw it back or mis understand what they are trying to tell me. ":: The walls were not exactly sound proof at times.
Sasha M Gray: "And another thing that needs to be clear. This is a family matter, not a pack matter. Kaly is out until she can knuckle under and behave right. Which also means that any ..." Sasha stopped and rose. "Did anyone, tell you, at any time, that you could come out of your room?"
NiteotheAngel: She sighed as she had good intention for coming out of her room.::"I dont blame Alex for what he did I deserved it.":: She looked to sasha and the others.::"Enough Stop. Please. Today should have been about Mars, Leland and Alex. I never intended for it to turn into all this. Just stop and eat please. Enough Please. I know I screwed up on numerous levels. I never denied that. Just enough okay. Im a spoiled brat. Im no good. I didnt do anything worthy while my brothers were away. Does that just about cover it? I wouldnt want to miss anything."::
Alex Vipond: The road to hell is paved with good intentions. And adverbs, according to Stephen King. Rising Alex looked at the others. "I'm out, before I snap her fucking neck." He turned his back to Sasha to let him out of the cuffs.
MacabreSaVant: Mars head dropped a moment. She was still going. He moved forward then, leaving them all in the living room. Arm wrapped around her waist and tossed Kalypso over his shoulder as he stalked off down the hall towards her bedroom. Once in the bedroom he dropped her ass on the bed and he stood there staring at her." Let me make this clear to you, Kalypso. You are my sister. I love you dearly. Though when I fucking tell you to come to your room, what I need you to do is come to your fucking room. Regardless of what is going on. You do not continue to talk. You do not argue. You do not plead your case until I fucking say so. THere is shit going on, sometimes you dont understand it, sometimes you do but when I tell your ass to do something you show me the goddamn respect and do it!" His voice practically boomed throughout the house as he growled at her.
Sasha M Gray: Sasha watched as Mars hauled her off, and then uncuffed Alex. "You just like it when I cuff you, is all."
MacabreSaVant: "You want to come out and act like a child, fine, fucking do so, but you do so and I will treat you as a damn child and not as a young woman!" Which, he then sat beside her on the bed, and hauled her over his knee and well, spanked her as one would do so to a insolent child. Fucking Christ. Of all things to do on this reunion. He never had thought this would happen. He felt he was falling off from the seams. " You will do as I say when I say and not question, or back track on what I tell you, Understand" –d
MacabreSaVant: Leland growled low and just dropped his head away. He could hear what was going on. -d
NiteotheAngel: Shit this was not going the way she wanted. She sat on her bed and didnt say a word. She could barely look at him. She knew she was in deep this time. Although there was still a chance of her coming back. Her eyes went wide as she was pulled over his knee. she couldnt believe it as noone had spanked her before. She winced at the sting::"Yes Marsten.":: She didnt try to squirm as she waited for him to finish. She waited for him to sit her beside him once again. This is not what she wanted either for her brothers reunion.::
InkedPr1ncess: They needed to take their mind off of it, and God help Kaly if she came back down against his wishes. "Maybe everyone does need to eat, I know it's a bad time, but he's taking care of that hopefully and everyone needs to chill out a little bit." She wasn't doing such a good job, but they had all been through the wringer and she felt for all of them. "Alex, you're leaving?" she asked, wishing he would stay but she understood why he couldn't. Then she asked Sasha and Leland if they were hungry or needed a drink. ;;;
Alex Vipond: "Yeah well it is habit forming." Alex smirked, feeling a bit like his old self but he was still ... off. He smiled then to Bren. "I do believe I am going to go home, shower and fuck my wife." Sex was the best distraction for cravings, ever. He glanced at Sasha. "Can I... borrow those?" Yes he was serious.
MacabreSaVant: Mars stopped, he had winded himself and well, the past couple of weeks hadnt been all too well on his body. Releasing Kalypso, he kept that firm thin line at his lips at regarded her. " You're grounded. "
Sasha M Gray: One brow rose as she regarded him. "It's always the quiet ones." She handed the cuffs over and then slipped the key from her ring. "I want them back tomorrow. And make sure you have your safe word set before you start."
MacabreSaVant: " We will talk more about what that means. Til then you remain here. " He rose up, leaving her to her bed as he paused at the door way momentarily and then walked out. Closing the door behind him. His hand slipped into his hair, and he took a deep breathe before walking back into the living room.
Leland: Leland watched them all and he rose up, tired. " Where's Abby?" He asked finally as he looked at them. –d
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso stayed put in her room on her bed. Not saying a word as she watched her brother leave. She moved from the bed to a window As she sat by it and looked outside.::
Alex Vipond: "Apples." Alex nodded and then looked at Mars as he came back out. Yes, they'd all heard and Alex gave Mars a clap on the shoulder. When Leland spoke, Alex looked back at him, then back to Sasha.
InkedPr1ncess: And on that note, it was probably a good idea for her to go. She felt for him, but this was definitely not her business and she didn't want to upset anyone. She stood at the same time that he did, she looked around at the others and didn't know what to say. "I should probably get going then, you all probably need some time." :::
Sasha M Gray: Sasha nodded to Bren and then looked back at Leland. "She's staying with some friends, Leland. There are things you and she will need to discuss."
Leland: "Like what..." He eyed Sasha then. Eyes flicked to Bren who was saying she was leaving.
MacabreSaVant: A nod to Alex, though he glanced to Sasha and Leland a moment. He felt there was something more going on and he couldnt put his finger on it.
Sasha M Gray: "That would be for you and she to discuss. It's not my place to say."
Leland: "Well then where is she?"
InkedPr1ncess: "If you guys need me, any of you, you know where I am. I'll do what I can to help." It felt a little awkward, like intruding on someone's personal life, and she gave them all a wave and patted Alex on the shoulder on her way to the door. :::
Alex Vipond: "I'll walk you out..." He was following Bren to the door, not about to get into the middle of that one. At all.
MacabreSaVant: "Lj .. get some rest. In the morning.. you can call her.. you need rest.. we both do" Mars trying to reason with his brother. A glance between Alex, Sasha and Bren who was heading out. –d
Sasha M Gray: "And I've got a date with a dead man." She looked between them. "I gotta run by the ME and see if they have CoD yet. Or even an ID." Knowing who the victim was, is half the battle.
Leland: He couldnt help but feel like something wasnt being said. Smirks. " Right.." He moved towards his room. –d
InkedPr1ncess: That was it, she hoped the family could work it out to where they didn't want to kill each other, she gave Alex that glance when they got outside and it felt like her face was on fire. "Do you have a feeling that he could just unload at any time? I feel sorry for him, even if what Abby did was right." :::
MacabreSaVant: When Sasha spoke up of her leaving, he cut a look over to her and reached out to grasp her hand then and pause her if she was leaving. " I ...already?" Brows knitted some as he regarded her. " I just got back..." Then he nodded some. " Are you coming back here?" –d
Alex Vipond: "He's been through a lot. And the timing sucks ass, but it's not Abby's fault that he was taken. She couldn't help that any more than he could."
Sasha M Gray: "I know, and I'm sorry." She gave his hand a squeeze. "And... no. I'm staying at Abby's. I have been for about a week now."
InkedPr1ncess: "You're right." What else could they say? That day should have been good and it was hell. "Well, didn't you have plans to go home and fuck your wife? Have a good time," she offered, nodding to the handcuffs with a smirk before she got to her on car. :::
MacabreSaVant: Blues searched her eyes. " ...oh" Yeah, he didnt know what to say to that. And his eyes dropped down to Sasha's hand and back up at her. " What happened....when I was gone?" He said low. –d
Sasha M Gray: "It wasn't so much what happened while you were gone, Mars. It was more ... what didn't when you were here." She lifted a hand and caressed his cheek. "I'll come by tomorrow and we can talk."
Alex Vipond: "As a matter of fact, I do." he nodded. "Thanks, Bren. And as soon as everyone's up to it, we're still taking the boat out." He back stepped toward his car, giving her a thumbs up and then he was slipping in behind the wheel.
MacabreSaVant: His head canted, into the touch. "Why do I feel like the impending doom...when you say that.." He tried to make light of it. Tried. " Just be straight with me Sasha. Thats all I want" He had reached up and lightly gripped her wrist to keep her from just walking away and to touch her. –d
Sasha M Gray: "That's all I have ever been." She leaned up and kissed his cheek, then stepped back. "I gotta go."
MacabreSaVant: Reluctant. Fingers released her hand and he accepted the kiss. He remained at the door way watching her as she left. –d
Sasha M Gray: She slid into the car and fired her up, then pulled from the curb. The day had been hell, when it should have been a happy thing and her heart was heavy.
MacabreSaVant: With all of them gone, Kaly in the room and Leland resting, he slipped off his shirt, stepping down the steps, and his boots before he simply just transformed. The howl of the wolf was heard as he as the beast took off on a hunt, the scent of deer were nearby. -d

NiteotheAngel: He is on the football team. I know cliche. But he treated me like a gentlmen. He has plans of going into the military and college. ":: Looking back to Deacon.::"Guys usually stay in the friend zone with me. There are not to many that like to deal with all the protection as you have seen.":: Smiles as she laughs a bit she takes a breathe. ::"The wall is coming along well. Hopefully soon I will be able to put the bed back for now once the wall dries. But, unfortunately until then my room stays a mess for awhile. ":: Softly smiles.::"Thanks for the help with the room.":: Kalypso looked to Deacon surprised.::"You mean you didnt get the memo? I cant be taught and Im stubborn and I dont listen to anyone. And Im disrespectful and selfish. Yeah I think that just about coveres it Oh and a spoiled brat.":: ~d~
Deacon: "Well think of it this way. Soon when high school is over, fun college times begin you can move far far away, get a dorm roomie solo room or apartment near campus. Then you will not have to deal with the wolf brigade or the stress of this place, city. Well you also have no parents from what I have gathered right? A mother or father, even aunt, uncle or grand parents would treat you and Deal with you in a very different manner then a brother sister or non relative would have. Look at families of today. A kid in your shoes would have a mom or dad deal with the very differently then a frustrated older brother or non blood or non family relative would. I like to beleive if you had a a parental figure around, maybe someone to look up to, your behavior would be very different. I had no parents at all. Rasied myself alone in the woods until I could get drafted into the arms service. If I was in your shoes I may have acted the same or similair. I just think you need love is all and someone to see you from a non emotional objective viewpoint to treat you differently. Of course I am not one to get angered easily, matter of fact, It takes a lot to get my blindly enraged because I learn how to channel my rage and control the anger. Sadly few others know how to do so. It what allows me to keep a cool head during a firestorm such as in war on the battlefield." He gave a simple shrug as he took one of the rollers and began to paint her room at a far greater speed then she was doing currently
NiteotheAngel: "If not for my brothers. I am not sure where I would be. Probably still working at the vampire club. Like I was when I first arrived. Your right though I have no parents, grandparents, no aunts or uncles. All I literally have right now are my brothers. Ehh doubt I will go to college. At 18 I can do what I want and no doubt Ryder will have me leave and never able to come back. He can do that since he is Ulfric of the pack.":: She was working on getting the corners done They were usually the trickiest part. but, becasue the light gray was the base coat then it didnt matter if she got paint on the next wall. Looking to Deacon as he was getting it done at a much faster pace.::"If you want to leave its okay. My life right now is what it is. Because of my own actions and consequences. I guess Im fortunate you and a few other people still speak to me. At least there are a few who tolerate me."::
Deacon: "If I may say, there are more then one pack in the world. It is not like it is some unheard of event for a wolf to be removed from a pack on their own accord or forced removal. They simply go on their own as a lone wolf, join another better pack or as it has worked out great for some, make your own pack. You do have options my dear. Just hold out until college time where you can be truly free to do as you damn well please. Sometimes I am glad I am not a full wolf so I do not have to deal with pack drama nonsense or even vampires. No vampire in this world can call me to them so that works out great for me. No forced submission and all, plus I take my orders from the government and president. I will not be govern by some civlian, a grease monkey or whatever they may be, no offense to you. I have not lived here in this area as long as they have dealing with you or known you. My thoughts could be different If I had been or some wolf apart of the pack dealing with whatever fallout that you have gone through recently. Guess it could be one reason why I see you differently then they do. I like to look at all sides and factors to thing. The lack of parents or even sister to relate to, could be cause for how you are now. Not saying anything bad about your brothers but there is only so much a brother can do or understand when it comes to a young sister, the gender difference being one obvious reason. A woman better relates to another woman then most men can hope to unless they are gay or transgender type. I simply think you were not given a full deck of cards to play with and had to make do with the hand you was dealt."
Alex Vipond: Alex pulled up out front, and slid from the car. He followed the sound of voices, a nod given the boys in the shop in passing, a knock given as he headed up the stairs into the house proper. "There's a reason, for that Kaly." Pulling his shades off, he slipped them on top of his head, then looked to the guy Kaly was speaking with. "And as for no vampire being able to call you to them, that's where you are wrong. People never seem to comprehend the difference between having an animal to call and having the ability to completely fuck someone in the head." Alex shook his own head at that. "Boggles the mind, really." Alex looked back at Kaly. "As for the reason you're in the shit storm you're in, that's on you. The sooner you realize that, accept it, own it, and make changes the better. And offering yourself up as lunch to a vampire who has already once had his fangs in you, and would have killed you had he not been dragged off, is not a way to go about making those changes." Alex looked back at the dude. "She has, or had, plenty of role models to look up to and guide her. Sadly she single handedly managed to piss each and every one off. My wife included, who, by the way..." he looked back at Kaly, "is not one to lose her temper, but somehow, just like me, you managed to push her over the edge as well." Alex looked back at the dude and just stared for a moment. "What the fuck."
NiteotheAngel: Kaly's door was open to her room as she seen Alex as she heard his car in the front of the house. She was a little surprised to see him there. What did she do accidently but dial him or something. She checked the pocket that had her cellphone in it. She was a bit surprised to see Alex. Figured that he was having work done on his car or something. Or maybe he heard from Mars. She did not say a word. There was no reason to really. She was just surprised that he was there. But she did not say a word as she continued painting and would let Alex and Deacon duke it out. What was the point. Damn was there no space that was her own.::
Deacon: "There are some beings who are highly resistant if not outright immune to the mind control effects of a vampire gaze or other mind tricks. Especially with mysticism and spell craft is involved. If you was here earlier for this private A and B conversation. You would have heard me tell her that it was not a smart logicaly thing to offer oneself to a vampire who nearly killed them a short term ago, but then women of all species do make illogicals choices or decision that a logical person could not fanthom as to why they did. The mystery of the female mind may never be solved. as I was telling her, I was not around in her life while so much has gone on. I merely state that if other factors such as havent parents, could have produce a much different outcome of events that would be far different then the ones that have lead up to this point for her. It has been said by many that kids and teenager are not know for making smart, well inform desicisons in life so it is not a completly surprise when a kid or teenage makes what you can call, Dumb Choices. They do not have the years lived to obtain the wisdom that the adults have obtain trough years of life experience and trial and error. Although some adults do act as dumb as their younger counterparts do but stupidy is everywhere. Now if you like to grab a paint brush and paint that would be splendid. I came to give her a hand getting this done and because she gave me a call to help her paint. My day is clear so I came offer to help paint ,listen to her and offer my own opinion on things. This is a free country after all right, freedom of speech, press and all that Jazz.'
NiteotheAngel: Kaly would finally speak up as she looked to Alex.::"Deacon, Alex,... Alex Deacon.":: The Furbee alex gave her was on her bed covered in plastic as was much of her room floor too. As her Kindle was on her dresser as well as the chord was connected to it charging. She dropped her roller for the moment. As she moved to where there want any wet paint as she looked to Alex.::"Is there something you need? There should be some bottles in the fridge in the kitchen I think. ":: She spoke respectfully as she remained polite. Curious as to what brought him buy.::"One of your cars in the garage?"::
Alex Vipond: "The problem isn't that she makes dumb choices so much as she has yet to learn from them and continues to perpetuate them." Alex looked around the room, and the supplies laid out, then shrugged out of his jacket, hanging it over the door knob. "I just wanted to make it clear, that what happened the other day was unfortunate." He leaned down and grabbed a can of paint and a brush, starting in on the trim. "I have this deep seated fear that you are going to, one day, perhaps soon, drive someone to snap your neck. I would rather it not be my wife. I don't want her to have to live with that kind of guilt."
Deacon: "No one ever said raising a child or looking after another was an easy gig. Well Might I suggest a vacation for you guys or her? Get away someplace, fun in the sun, relax and reexamine life and all its marvels and wonders and other crap life throws out hahah. Maybe let someone else take her off your hands and deal with her. Someone who make sure she is safe and looked after. That way you can have peace of mind knowing she is safe, in good hands and hopefully learning a thing or to. Put her in a different environment to help her learn what she has done, what mistakes she has made and have someone with an objective view point guide her through it. Like a school guidance consolers or even a therapist type. They often do wonders for adults and troubles or problems teens. I think she could benefit from one of those and a change of scenery to help he revaluate her priorities in life and help her grow as a person and teach her to avoid making the same mistakes. It is a different tactic to try is it not? Since she is not making the type of progress you and the pact wish she would. A different approach may be just what she needs. That is my helpful suggesiton."
Alex Vipond: "Tried the whole making sure she was safe thing and well cared for and looked after." Alex paused in his painting of trim to redip the brush and looked at Deacon. "She threw it in my face and then decided it would be wise to start giving me directives. Needless to say..." he again touched brush to trim, "it didn't go over well. She's had objective view points; she's had everything but a fucking shrink. I don't know, maybe she's acting out due to some sense of abandonment after the boys disappeared, which, by the way, I am not happy about their little trip and not telling anyone, did they tell you?" he looked back at Kaly. If they had taken off and not told Kaly beforehand, he was gonna kick them both in the ass. Looking back at Deacon he paused. "Summer camp. I have heard those things do wonders. Think it's a little late for that though isn't it? I mean the back to school stuff has already hit the stores." Yes, he'd been checking it out and wondering what was needed.
NiteotheAngel: Kaly did not say a word as she bit her tongue. For fear she would say something and make things worse on her. She was a bit surprised that Alex was actually helping paint. She appreciated it. Unfortunate mistake? Of course on her no doubt. She continued not to talke for a bit as Alex posed a question.::"My brothers have not spoken to me since you brought them home. The last message I got from Mars was I am off restriction. And the last time I seen Leland he was heading off on his bike with Anna. Although Leland got me the book of Lois Royo and the Easel and the drawing kit with everything I could want or need. I havent opened it due to obvious reasons. I left him a voicemail. Thanking him. But, I dont know if he got it or not. ":: She continued to paint as she picked up the roller again. ::"School will be starting soon though in a few weeks. Im registered and got my shots done. And took care of things. Now just job hunting for a part time thing but I hope Mars and Leland come back soon. Wouldnt surprised me if they left again though."::
Alex Vipond: Alex's brow rose as he regarded Kaly. If it went any higher it would be part of his hairline. "No fucking shit?" He looked back to the trim he was painting, dipping the brush again and wiping the excess on the inner lip of the can before touching brush to wood once more. "What the fuck have they been doing since they got back?" When she made that last comment, he scowled. "They better fucking not have."
Deacon: "Well some woman go into porn due to father abandment issues. Maybe her brothers up and leaving without word could be a factor." He looked at kaly so she would not think he was talking like she was not there.'What is it you want Kaly? What do you think would benefit you if current things are not simply working?" He may as well get her opinion on it since he wondered how often anyone ask what her thoughts and exact feelings were in different circumstances. In a way he was like a pesudo shrink offering advice and then asking what she thinks she needs to do better or what is it she really wants.
NiteotheAngel: Kaly practically dropped her roller as she heard Deacon talk. She was not really sure what to say to Alex. As first she addressed Alex.::"Well, my brothers are grown men. They dont have to tell me anything. So, I guess they are safe Or I hope. I cant say for sure though. Yes, No fucking shit. I have no clue what they have been doing unless they have been in the shop. Which for the most part thats where I think they are or getting parts or something shop related":: Kalypso takes a deep breathe as she looked to Deacon. Letting the questions run through her mind a bit before answering.::"Hmm. Well I have a family cause I have my brothers. How about someone to talk and listen. Not judge. Im still figuring out what I like and dont like. Its simple really. How about for people not to jump my shit all the time or talk like Im not in the room. How about more pulled aside conversations rather then being jumped. Regardless of how ticked off they are. How about more explanation of stuff rather then just assuming I know. How about to be treated like I know something rather then dismissed":: Frustration showed in her face as she eventually left her room. She excused herself as she went to the bathroom to wash up and get a grip. On herself emotionally as she sighs and washes her face and blows her nose.::
Alex Vipond: "There's a difference between having to do something, and doing something for someone so that they don't worry." As Kaly went on, Alex paused, listening. He didn't point out that she had that, and more, until she went mental on everyone. Letting out a breath, he dipped the brush once more and started in again on the trim.
Deacon: He chuckled softly and continued to finish his side of the wall. "Well Mr. Alex. How often have women young or old, done things that we men just strach our head and wonder, "How da hell does that make sense?" He laughed a bit more. "The mystery that is women, can't live with them can't live without them as the old saying goes."
NiteotheAngel: Kaly returned as she had heard Alex right as she was leaving. She went and picked up her roller as she worked on her side of the wall a bit. she knew soon she would have to change to a brush for the corners so they were smoothe. She looked to alex.::"What do you mean? Usually people do things because they have to like working to pay the bills or to use for necessities. Whatever the case maybe. ":: She had heard deacon too but didnt want to say anything to that. Kaly was usually good about working and getting money for the things she needed. She was bad when it came to relationships or friendships and things. Perhaps because of lack of contact or misunderstandings. Okay so at times she was a little hard on people. But, people were hard on her too. ::
Alex Vipond: "You do things for people, because you care. Not because you have to." He turned, and gestured to the Furby. "Because you care. Not because you have to." Dipping the brush in again, he started on the other side of the window trim.
NiteotheAngel: "I dont know. they may Im not sure. Never really looked into it. I think so. Uh no I havent gone school shopping yet. I have a few weeks before I do that though. School starts on Aug 15th. ":: Even when playing with her Furby which she eventually put away as they continued their conversation. She would put it away as she turned it off. So it couldnt repeat what was being said later. ::"I have job applications to return to the mall later. ":: They were on the top of her dresser.::"That and I have yet to find head boards for my bed. Could make a trip to the home store for ideas."::
Deacon: He began to help her wall, getting more painting done. Letting her know she can take a breather while he had it covered.
Alex Vipond: "You could check online to get ideas, know what you're looking for before you go in. It would also allow you to do some comparison shopping. Use the stores against each other to get a better deal." It was an idea. Alex always preferred to draw up a battle plan, even if it was for shopping. Tactical shopping, the thought caused his lips to twitch upward.
NiteotheAngel: "True. Im sure there are all kinds of sales going on. And there is also a tax free day. I need to check into that too. ":: She was kind of surprised this conversation was going so well. This was the first conversation Alex and her had in a long time. Since the pack decided to remove her was probably the last they spoke other then possibly the previous day. She was not sure what more to say as she sat and listened for awhile. Not meaning to be mroe helpful but with two tall guys and one short woman. It kind of beat having to bring a ladder in to get the places she couldnt reach. Still a little lost for words and what to think.::
Alex Vipond: "Some places ad match too, so it might be a good idea to take the ads with you. Stores in general would rather drop a price than lose a sale." Finishing up the window trim, Alex moved to start on the trim around the door. "I can remember when everything was done in market, and people bartered and haggled. There were no set prices."
NiteotheAngel: "Im sure you can also remember when god first walked the earth too but times change as technology and supply and demand changes. ":: Smiles as she smirks a bit. Although still listening to what he had to say. Been awhile since anyone other than Bren or Annalyssee and a few others sat and just talked. Although it helps that painting had to be done. She had yet to decide what color to do the door. She knew that would be different then the rest of the room. She just had not decided on what yet. ::"Thanks Alex. I will keep that in mind. But we better go now to let everything dry before you trap us in here.":: She grabbed her clothes so she could get cleaned up and changed in her room. in the bathroom down the hall. She was careful not to touch anything that was or had been painted which seemed to be everything that and the fumes were getting to her with all those extra sensitive senses she had.::
Alex Vipond: "HA HA." he smirked at her, then looked around. "Yeah, we may need to let the place air out some." Frankly he was amazed they weren't all high. He set the can of paint down and put the lid back on it, then moved the laundry room to start washing the brushes out. Couldn't let the paint dry in them, they'd be ruined.
NiteotheAngel: Kaly was careful about making sure that all windows and doors were open before she started painting to help a bit with the fumes. Once she was finished in the shower she pulled her hair back in a ponytail. Went back real quick to grab the job applications. As she was dressed in a long sleeve shirt made of a light material and jeans. As her hair fell down her back as it was dried and earings put in and a pair of boots on her feet as she was slipping a different pair of earrings into her freshly pierced ears.:: Kaly went to give Alex a hand with the brushes. She was going to get to them but by the time she did they would have probably been ruined. She didnt say a word at first as she helped clean the paint pan and rollers as much as she could although the rollers were a bit tougher to clean then brushes.:: ~d~
Alex Vipond: It was messy, but it was fun in an odd sort of way. The rollers were literally scrubbed, and yes it would take some scrubbing to make sure he didn't have any paint attached by the time they were done, but he as enjoying himself. Could have been the paint fumes. One brow rose as he contemplated that, and as he set one aside and reached for another, he just reached out with it and tapped the end of the brush to Kaly's nose.
Deacon: Paint fumes were a nicer smell the burning decaying flesh, flaming concrete and smell made by mortar fire. He did his part to help but had remained silent from that point on
NiteotheAngel: Kaly rubbed her nose a bit as the end of the brushed tickled a bit. She laughed a little bit as she looked to Alex. before realizing Deacon wasnt there.::"OH DEACON. COME ON DOWN HERE. DONT BE ANTISOCIAL NOW.":: Smirks and laughs a bit figured that would get his attention to come down and join them. She backed off a bit as she realized that Alex had everything covered. ::
Deacon: His way of exited the room was through the open window just like he came in. Doors were boring why not use the fun of windows. Oh he did come down alright, more like jump down outside, but he was down and not up. Three's company, At the moment it felt like a third wheel action. They had obvious history together where as he only know her for a short while and played the role of non judgemental confidante. He figured they may have more they wished to discuss and did not need him to shoe in on that part as of now.
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso realized after the fact that Deacon had taken the same route in as out. Shaking her head a bit. She never seen him as a third wheel. She sighs a bit as she looked to Alex.::"So, now what? Thanks for helping me with my room. It beats having me take a ladder in there.":: She sighs a bit as she relaxed and went to the table to look over the applications one last time. She had to look stuff up like her social security number. Since she didnt have that memorized like most. She raised a hand and tucked osme of her hair back.::
Alex Vipond: There was no need for Deacon to feel like a third wheel. Alex finished up the brushes and rollers and set them to dry, then washed up as well. As soon as he was done, he headed for the kitchen and pulled the fridge open, checking the contents for his own flavor, and then pulling a couple of bottles out. A pan was pulled and filled with water, then set on the stove, with the bottles in it to heat.
Deacon: He looked out to the grassy yard behind the house then around the neighborhood. This looked so suburban to him like something out of old cheesy movies like Pleasantville.He leaned againts the wall of the house outside with his eyes closed and one foot planted on the ground, the other on the wall as his knee had lifted to do so. Currently checking to see how quiet the neighborhood was and listening for garden snakes.
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso moved to the frige as hse grabbed the ham and cheese and the onion roll. And the aluminum foil to wrap it all in as she put it in the oven on 250 waiting on the cheese to melt and the meat to warm. She then went back to the fridge as she grabbed a soda and sat down at the table as she waited on her food to warm. She smirks as she thought about Deacon briefly before fading a bit.::
Alex Vipond: "What's that look about?" Alex leaned against the counter as he waited for the water to heat his bottles, and watched Kaly. "You got this 'someone just kicked my puppy' expression."
NiteotheAngel: "Huh. Nothing no big deal. What? I do not. I was just thinking about Deacon and how nice today is or was or whatever":: She tries to play it off a bit as she looked to Alex. Cracking open the soda as she took a sip.::
Deacon: Slithering sound of a snake in the grass was finally heard. He gave a snap of his fingers and tapped the ground sending out vibrations for the serpent. The snake slide along the grass and paused when it reached his boot. Then made its way up his leg and chest and when he opened his eyes, the snake was looking dead at him ,flicking that forked tongue out as the stare off commenced
Alex Vipond: "Good days are ones to wrap yourself up in, to be savored for later." Alex moved back to the stove and checked the bottles, then turned the fire off under the pan. the first was lifted and given a shake, then the yop was popped and a drink taken.
NiteotheAngel: "Yes true.":: She gets up as she grabs a towel and opens the oven to take out her ham and cheese as she sets the aluminum on the stove. Turning off the stove before grabbing herself another soda. Grabbing the sandwich as she opens it and takes a bite.::
Alex Vipond: God knew there were enough bad ones to try and avoid. Alex drained the first bottle and rinsed it, then popped the top on the second. "And no sign of your brothers today?" It was odd, no two ways about it.
NiteotheAngel: "Nope. Figured they would contact you or Mars and you could radar each other.":: She new better then to talk with her mouthful. She took a sip of her drink before starting to speak again.::"Im guessing you are still getting the interference lik you were before?":: Relaxing back in the chair for now.::
Alex Vipond: "Yeah, not sure what it is. I mean, it could be anything and nothing." What it was, was worrisome. "I mean it's not like I always look for that connection but when you do look and you get static..." he shrugged and pulled his phone, then fired off a text to Mars as he tipped that bottle up for another drink.
NiteotheAngel: "I doubt I will hear anything from the guys unti they return. They are adults and grown men. ":: she shrugged her shoulders as she spoke with Alex and finised her meal. Throwing away the aluminum foil. ::"At least they are talking to you at times. They could be out of cellphone range too if they are on their bikes.":: She couldnt say really what the deal was.::
Alex Vipond: "True," though he didn't add that the areas that would put one out of cell phone range were shrinking by the day. When he finished off the second bottle, he rinsed it as well and set it with the first to be recycled. "Well, I'll get out of your hair. If you hear anything let me know?"
NiteotheAngel: "Of course.":: she nodds as she finishes up the twocans and picks up the two bottles as she takes them to the recycling bin. Not sure what more needs to be said. As she would walk with Alex out.::
Deacon: Once the stare down was complete, the snake simply coiled around his neck and shoulders and rested there. There was something else he meant to say but was distracted by his little friend
Alex Vipond: Out through the open bay, and to his car there at the curb in front of the place, Alex paused and looked around, then back to Kaly. "Catch you later." Pulling the door open he slipped inside, and started the car. Checking traffic, he pulled away from the curb.
NiteotheAngel: She nodded::"yes of course be safe.":: She still didnt trust him fully but things were improving. She would eventually go to pick up the applications from the mall. As she decided figured she would go and turn those in first.::

NiteotheAngel: Kaly was in the kitchen and the basket was on the table. The fact that Mars had not spoken or left any kind of message for her was bothering and troubling here. She recieved the message that Alex was on his way but he would miss Ella as she left too. She looked to the fridge as she was not about to eat anything Ella prepared. It was one thing at the Cafe. It was another when it was personally made for her brother. She was not sure what to do throw it away? She knew there were poisons that could go undetected. She was so confused abotu what to do or think at the moment. And why wouldnt she tell her what mars was to her. That alone put up red flags.::
Caleb: Strange he ended up in this neck of the woods. That song melody of his violin was playing as those lonely footsteps had made their way by the garage moments ago. He took a glance around the area to see if there was something picture worthy to take for his growing collection of the various places in his travels. Perhaps something nice he can display in his shop to give it sort of serene atmosphere. There was that shadow feeling he had by the invisible guiding hand that lead him astray or wandering along this path in a daze. He was not pleased when it took over but a deal is a deal. Least he was free to be himself most of the time and Caleb cashed in whenever he could.
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso thought it was strange to hear a violin out here. Noone she knew played the violin and the last person she seen seemed a little pompous to say the least. She figured she would go and see what was going on. She moved out of the house. Down the stairs through the garage and around to the back. However by the time she got to the back of the house it seemed to stop. She spoke up.::"Hello? Who is out there? You play the violin well. Yes, I could hear it." She spoke it in a kind of sing song like voice. But, obviously off key. She was not about to run into the woods. She tried to keep herself visible waiting for him to come to her.::
Alex Vipond: Alex pulled up at the curb, and slid out, a glance around given but he didn't as he paused to listen. Of the heart beats present, only one was female. When the strains of the violin were heard, and then Kaly's voice, Alex avoided the house and went around it, pausing at the corner to study the area.
Caleb: Someone was around. He had walked through the roads and thought he was by the road. There is a term sleepwalking and day dreaming. That could be applied in a of his actions or surroundings. A form of day sleep playing had occured for him which has happen before. He fall asleep during the day but appear awake since his eyes were not closed and he played his violin like a sleepwalker does whatever it is the do during a sleep walk. The voice did seem like a splash of water to his face as the teenager just blinked and looked around. " Where am I? This is not my shop. Bollocks it happen again merde. Oh um hello cherio Where am I? Caleb inquired in his mix Scottish British accent. He stood still while he tried to get his bearings and resist vertigo.
NiteotheAngel: Kaly would see Alex as she gave him an up nod and a wave. She then looked to the boy before her.::"Hello, You are in the woods by Mars Garage. Where were you trying to get too? It was easy to get lost in the woods depending on where you came from. This is not to surprising. Do you need help getting to your shop?":: Not sure exactly where the guy was headed.::"You play the violin quite well. There is a phone around front if you want to use it.":: Figured she could help the guy out.::
Alex Vipond: Well that was ... interesting. Nod up was given Kaly, the wave returned and then he moved toward her. He stopped short, a half dozen paces from her. As for the violinist, Alex watched him, looking for signs of medical distress, or rather listening for them. The heart told a lot, really.
Caleb: He took a moment to look at the girl trying to place her face. Light bulb he saw her and that Bren woman once at a diner who did not think he could eat his large food order. "I saw you before, Diner girl! You and the other woman Bren I believe. Yes the one who said she pay for my meal if I could eat all the food on my tray. Very kind of American Lady. Ah phone call yes, I could call one of my mates to come get me if they are around. Nice neighborhood and thank you for the coment on my playing. I was out of it as seems to be the case. Least I did not walk onto train tracks or something." He gave a silly grin as he fixed the postion of his violin. His heart was more or less steady except for an odd echo which could mean a few different possiblities. He played a string on his violin as he checked it and his camera bag to make sure it was all there.
NiteotheAngel: She looked to Alex not sure what to say as she then turned her attention back to Caleb.::"Yeah I was at the diner with Bren. And I think one of you thought the other was going to eat their fork too. ":: She smiles as she looked to the young kid.::"I dont think we were ever introduced Im Kaly. And Tall dark and Silent here is Alex and you are?":: Offering her hand to the guy as he checked his belongings to make sure everything was safe and sound. Which they were no doubt. She then shook his hand once accepted for the appropriate amount of time. She then would lead him around the front of the building and let him use the phone in the office to call a friend.::
Alex Vipond: One brow rose as Alex regarded the kid, then he looked at Kaly. Never in his life had he heard the like, the muddled Brit accent and the syntax that spoke of China with English as a second language. "Dark?" Alex smirked as he looked back at Kaly, and then he checked his arms. He had gotten some color the last couple of weeks.
Caleb: He took her hand and gave a polite kiss to the back of it. It was a custom back home and his parents rasied him to be kind and courteous and properly greet a lady. "A pleasure to meet you Lady Kaly and Sir Alex. I am Caleb McCandless concert violionist and freelance photography at your service." He gave a polite bow. His accent was a bit unusual but he was an odd fellow. At times his accent flowed from Scottish to Irisih, then British or mix in between. Usually his emotional state reflect his voice change that reflected that most often then not. He nodded in thanks to the use of her telephone and began to dial the number to his shop. No one was there neither band mates or their assistant. He left a message and placed the phone on the receiver. If he had to he can always walk back, good exercise for him anyhow. Not that he needed it since he can eat like linebacker and not gain a pound.
Alex Vipond: "I'm not royalty. Nor is Kaly." Actually, he was, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, called France, but that was neither here, nor there. He held no title he could lay claim to and wouldn't if he could.
Caleb: He walked back over to them and spoke. " Apologies. I call everyone that. It how my parents raised me to be, polite and courteous especially in a foreign country likes America." Just how he was raised to be.
NiteotheAngel: She smiled as she listened to Alex as Caleb kissed the back of her hand.:: "Kaly is fine. No reason for such formalities but its appreciated that you are well mannered. I dont have a car otherwise I would offer you a lift home but you can use the phone to call a cab if you need a ride. And there is the city bus too. It gets you from A to B. ":: Shrugging her shoulders as she tries to help the guy. Before looking back to Alex. As she figured that Caleb could figure out how to get home himself. And she offered to let him use the phone. She was more interested in what Alex knew. And if he would even tell her.::
Alex Vipond: Alex was not born in America, he was a transplant. He was also, at one time, a member of the peerage and adding a title such as Sir or Lady to one's name was an indication of royal blood. It was not done unless the person being addressed was titled. "If you need one." The man made it here on foot; could be the guy was a health nut and liked to walk everywhere. Or he was like Ella and scorned those 'soulless beasts' as she called cars. Looking back at Kaly, he nodded. Yes, they needed to talk. Even if he didn't know a hell of a lot, at least it was something he could fill Kaly in on so she wasn't left in the dark.
Caleb: "It is no trouble. I can make my way back if I need to. Maybe something along the way will jump out at me and make me stop to take a picture. Gives me time to continue playing as well without anyone being annoyed by violin music."
Alex Vipond: "What was that piece you were playing when you approached?" Did the man even recall? He had seemed somewhat ... dazed.
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso did not say much at the time. Her thoughts were on Ella at the moment. Trying to piece what little she could about the conversation. Which was not much. She came too as she heard Alex ask about the song that Caleb was playing. She smiled as she looked to the two.::"Yes Being a concert violinist you must make things up on the spot all the time. Are you sure you are okay? How long have you been walking? Do you remember where your shop is?"::
Caleb: "The Lonely Traveler. It is a piece I am working out and a few times I have been playing it without knowing. At my place I set up recording device to record it should I sleep play. This way I can take notes of what musical tones I was playing to help perfect the song. I do know where my shop it. The Silver Age, recently open and you are more then welcome to stop by anytime. " He thought a moment about how far he had been walking when he asked. "What is the current address here?" Knowing the location and street address could better help him assest how far away of a walk he took. "I: will be fine, this has happened before just not this long. Maybe being in a new country, a new city, not sure what triggers these episodes. Worry not about me I will be alright, I am young and healthy mostly." He gave a soft smile.
Alex Vipond: "I've heard of people sleep eating. Sleep cleaning too. I've never had that issue." On either count. "Healthy is good." Alex nodded.
NiteotheAngel: "Yes, Your right Healthy is good. But,does not mean there is no concern.":: She would hand Caleb a business card with the address on it. Hoping that would help. Considering she does not know of the shop.::"Silver Age? What do you sell there? Sounds like one of those New Age shops or something.":: Looking to Alex.::"Have you heard anything about this place?"::
Alex Vipond: Well there was an incomfortable silence which fortunately Kaly broke with her questions on the man's shop. "Nope, haven't." Alex shook his head and looked back at Caleb.
Caleb: "It is a new age shop. Something that I set up that I wanted to do and doubles for a place for me and my group to live while we are in town. Sure beats a hotel and dealing with any public annoyance or paparazzi that may appear in waiting to ambush. I sell various things, crystals, crystal balls, special candles, tarot cards. a large number of speciality items. I told one kind fellow a Mr David I even rent out space for healers, wiccas, people wanting to practice helpful healing arts or whichever they please. Teach a few classes even. I also do some photography work at the shop too since it is a hobby of mind and something extra to do for pocket money. " He took her card and lookedit over and gave her one of his own with phone, address small details of iems sold and services offered. "It would appear I have traveled a great distance by coming to this area. Well I am young, a good long stroll will not kill me, good for the heart."
Alex Vipond: Well there was an incomfortable silence which fortunately Kaly broke with her questions on the man's shop. "Nope, haven't." Alex shook his head and looked back at Caleb. "Sounds good. I'll have to stop by some time and check it out. Where's it at?"
NiteotheAngel: Now for once Kaly was the quiet one. As she let Caleb and Alex talk. Although she was a bit surprised the guy didnt call a cab unless he didnt have any money on him at the moment. She looked between the two as they spoke.::"I dont suppose you happened to remember to grab your wallet. Might be better to call for a cab or try one of your buddies again."::
Caleb: "I may just go check out the Tesla place David told me about. Sounded like a good place to meet fellow lovers of classical music and play something there. Maybe do a special performance one night. You sound like you are trying to rid of me Kaly. If you wish for me departure I can go. I wish not to be an inconvenience for either of you two. I'll take no offense to it. The shop is located downtown across from the new Italian spaghetti and pizzeria place. Very good food there. I recommend it. I have not tried all the food places in Seattle but I am slowly working my way to it."
Alex Vipond: "David? He kind of blondish, does IT work?" Downtown. Across from an Italian place. "Great. I'll bring my wife in one day. I'm sure she'd get a kick out of it."
Caleb: "Yes, David and lovely Avary. Kind fellow, mention some security woman to call. She has yet to return my phone call but may be my fault. I never called a security person so I had no idea what was good to say. That is the guy alright. He told me about the Tesla place forwater front. " He was always pleased to meet people who loved or could appreciate classical music and of course, the violin.
Alex Vipond: "Tesla is a music venue?" Why hadn't he heard of it? Probably because he'd hardly pulled his head up from the studio long enough to go anywhere or do anything. Something he was going to rectify too. Meghan and he definitely needed a night out.
Caleb: "It is what I am told. A place for artist of all kinds and David heard of me from the papers and suggested I go there. Incase I meet fans of mines or those who are following the local symphony trends to swap ideas. Please come on by the shop with your wife. I am sure there will be something there she may enjoy. We do get more female customers then men on occasion. They are more into spiritual feel good stuff the average guy. Least that has been my experience anyway. If there is something she may want and I do not have, tell her I be glad to special order it for her, no extra charge. If I can bring happyniess to a lady or a couple, then it is its own cosmic karma reward."
Alex Vipond: "I'll have to let her know." Alex smiled and then looked around, back to Kaly and then to Caleb. "Well..." Alex was running out of things to talk about. "How about those Mariners, eh?"
Caleb: "Mariners? I am unfamilair with that word. Is that a sports team?" He looked to the cute but silent Kaly of in her own world. "What does one do for entertainment in this city? I am still new here and had very little chance to play tourist."
Alex Vipond: "Uh, yeah. Baseball." Alex nodded, rocking up on the balls of his feet only to drop back down. "So, what made you decide to come to Seattle?"
Caleb: "Seem like a good place as any to visit. It was close by to where I was playing before and there was something I came here to see I think. Think someone told me interesting thigs happen here and it is not a boring city or place like Iowah or one of those other boring square shape states that have nothing special about the. That I been told there would be not point in stopping by. Were you born her? If not what made you come to this place?" There was two special reasons that had brought him here or three depending how you categorize it yet he was not aware of it. Something else was pulling the strings, a twist of fate? Divine destiny playing its hand? Who was to say.
Alex Vipond: "Music. Seattle is big for music. And coffee." He shrugged. "LA was getting a bit crowded, so I wandered north." Giving a nod, Alex leaned back against the wall of the garage.
NiteotheAngel: Kaly had kind of got lost in her own thoughts for a moment. About her brothers and Ella. She would eventually come too as she heard Alex was running out of things to talk about.::"I apologize for my long absence I guess. I have a lot on my mind. As far as you leaving Caleb you do not have too. I was not trying to get rid of you I promise. I guess Im a little distracted and was only trying to help and wasnt aware of how it made you feel. But, I see you two are getting along like two peas in a pod. Both artists from different backgrounds. Surprised a collaboration has not occurred.": She smirked a bit at the thought of an electric guitar and violin. Couldnt be the first time that has occurred right?"::
Caleb: "I stopped there at Los Angeles and New York. Big cities they are. Very loud and bright and rather packed. Music is always good, melody of the soul. I like to think so anyhow. I like to use music for my pictures as well. It helps captures the emotions I want for it. With paintings, the painter can truly capture the soul and essence of an object, person or thing. Their heart, soul, emotions can pour into the painting. Sometimes photos can convey the same things and other times they can not. That is where I come in. I like to make special music peice long or short for various pictures to help express what the photographer wishes to convey to others. Also the feelings I want my own photos to possess. Many do not think this way but I do. " He looked to Kaly with a polite smile. "Welcome back to the world of the living Kaly. I hope one of my numbers are not affecting you now."
Alex Vipond: Wasn't. Alex had violin and cello on a lot of his work. A couple he had full orchestras laid in. "Unfortunately we've completed recording the next album. It's gone to press. I expect delivery of the first shipment around the end of next month." He gave a slow nod, then cut his eyes back to Caleb, regarding him curiously for a moment.
NiteotheAngel: Kaly looked to Caleb a bit lost in what he was saying.::"What are you talking about one of your numbers? I miss something? I guess I got lost in my own little world for a bit. Im working on painting my room and havent decided on a picture yet for the wall or to go with a quote. And I guess I have a new friend on my mind. well not sure I should be calling her a friend yet. considering we only met once but she is a pretty little red head I met at the mall. Unfortunately I had to leave quickly because of curfew and to catch the last bus home.":: Softly smiles as she looks between the two realizing she is going on and on.::
Alex Vipond: "Oh? Who's your little friend?" Alex smiled at her, glad she was making friends. "Does she go to your school?"
Caleb: It never bothered him if a young woman or lady wish to carry on a long narrative or dialogue. It was better then long awkward lulls in conversation. " Then I guess you two will be giving American boys a run for their money? Is that how it is said. I forgot all about schooling. I am use to having a private tutor for when I am on tour. Since I just finished my world tour and may be staying around for a while. If you do not mind Kaly. I like you to show me the school here since I may be transferring over, the foreign exchange student program you would call it.''
Alex Vipond: Say hello to Kaly's little friend.... Alex looked back at Caleb. "Kaly has very large, very muscular brothers who use telephone poles for toothpicks to remove the remains of teenaged boys from their teeth." He was only partly joking. About the teeth part. They'd not actually eaten any teenaged boys that Alex was aware of.
Caleb: "Would that not be murder and cannibalism?" Was he joking or thinking serious about what he just heard and took a literal stance on it. American humor and their ways were still a mystery and often lost on him.
Alex Vipond: One brow cocked upward as he gave a slight nod and shrug. "yeah."
Caleb: "You Americans are very strange . I may never understand this country.'
NiteotheAngel: "I met her at the mall. I dont think so. Not sure didnt get to stay and chat for two long. Her name is Gwen.":: looking to Caleb as she listened to him.::"Sure I guess I could do that. Um... You are talking about highschool right? Because Im not in college yet. But, if I get ahead in my classes then I can try for college courses as a senior and junior possibly. Its just your average public school I guess. ":: She smiles as she listens to Alex talk about her brothers as she smiled.::"Family they are protective what are you going to do about them?"::
Caleb: "I am only eighteen so yes highschool. What most do, move but that will happen naturally once it is college time so it renders the idea to a moot point. Family is precious to have. I do not know what I would do without my parents, my family. American school is different then other places. It should be an interesting senior year experience."
NiteotheAngel: "Yeah Im not sure what I would do without my brothers. Oh They are how so? I just figured all schools were the same. Go to class and listen to a teacher talk about something take notes and respond when the bell rings. Alot like Pavlov only instead of food its for class.":: Smirks as she couldnt believe the connection she made. Okay so maybe she liked psychology and had been doing a little reading.":: Sighs as she blushes a bit as she looks to Caleb.::"Well now there are online highschools if you dont like public school."::
Caleb: "That is not much different the home school or private schooling if one goes online. Public and private schools different in dress codes, course curriculums and such. Schools in different countries have different methods, ways of doing things , scheduling, year round school, the list goes on. Well you probably have things to talk with Alex about as I am sure he came this way for a reason. I will no longer delay or interfere in whatever conversation you two need to have. So I can take my leave and go. It was a pleasure meeting you Kaly."
NiteotheAngel: "You too Caleb. I will see you tomorrow.":: taking her brothers Business card from him. She would write her number down on the back and hand it back to him.::"Here for the tour although Im still learning about all the different places this city has to offer. Although I do like Telas."::
MacabreSaVant: Mars had stayed at the shop most of the day, though they had started this new gig that if something happened on the road on the outskirts of the city limits that Garage mechanic and Tow would go fix it on the spot or tow it back to the Garage. Sorta a Triple A type service. Mars garage was getting bigger. The two rumbled on into the parking with Mars inside. A Mercedes benz on the flatbed. The owner was dropped off at their hotel and a rental car was shuttled over. The truck came to a sudden stop infront of the bay number 3 and engine cut off before the tall blonde Jones hopped out and began to ready the car to be set to the ground. Using the wench. –d
NiteotheAngel: Kaly seen the head lights on the vehicle as it pulled up. She was surprised to see her brother behind the wheel. She looked to Caleb to see if he left. Before she headed up the stairs. Ticked does not describe what she was feeling. And the last thing she wanted to do was blow up in front of everyone again. She figured she would just head inside and up to her room. She had so many questions and so many missing pieces. She was not sure where to begin with it all And now seeing Mars here after weeks of no word except to stay out of trouble and you are ungrounded. It was a bit overwhelming.::
Caleb: Fate's plaything will just have to wait for another time, but the chess pieces will be accounted for very soon. So where the thoughts of the being responsible for Caleb little daze walk all the way out here. Meanwhile Caleb looked to the card Kaly gave him and the number. He put the card away and wondered what she meant by Tomorrow? Was something going to happen tomorrow that he should know? Or was it one of those women things when a guy has done or forgot something, and was suppose to become a mind reader to read he rmind and remember what it iss he was suppose to remember. He waved a goodbye to her and was about to leave when the loud noise of the approaching vehicle made him stop in his tracks.
Alex Vipond: Alex had been um... on the phone! Yeah, that's it. He wandered back in time to see Kaly head up, Mars and the tow truck roll in with that Benz on the back. Yeah, he was glad it wasn't his, which was parked out front. Phone was shoved back into his hip pocket and he wandered toward the wrecker, one hand dragging his hair back only to let it go and have it fall back into his face.
NiteotheAngel: Kaly didnt mean to be rude to Caleb. She just had a lot on her mind and figured that he would give her a call tomorrow or something. If he wanted to get together and explore the city a bit. For now though she was upstairs in her room door was open. Figured that Alex and him needed a few minutes to talk. She just picked up the book by Lois Royo and flip through that. Still trying to figure what to do on her walls. So many things came to mind. And that was usually the difficult part picking something a person could live with seeing day after day."::
MacabreSaVant: Eyes flicked upwards and across the slanted bed of the truck to see Caleb stop there and then Alex as he approached. A smile pulled at his lips. " Hey man.." Greeting Alex. The Benz was being lowered down to the cement. Once it was set, he lowered down to a knee and reached under to unclasp the hook that held onto the car. Then he moved around and began to wind the straps back up. " Any word from J-man?" Gaze flicked over to Caleb again, staring at him. "Who are you?" –d
Alex Vipond: Hand was offered out, taking Mars' in that reverse grip as he leaned in and bumped shoulders with him, a clap to the back given with the other hand. The bro dap. "Hey, howsit?" Alex glanced around then looked back at Mars. "Kaly's got questions regarding your lady friend." Alex looked over at Caleb as he shook his head to Mars' question about Javier. "No word from Papa J and this is Caleb. He's new to Seattle." Alex looked at Caleb. "This is Mars, the one who picks teenaged boys from his teeth with a telephone pole as a toothpick." Yes, Alex had given him the run down on what he could expect from the brothers. Caleb: Carefully he would put his violin and the bow in their case and re adjust the straps along with those holdings his camera. It seems Alex's mention of the giant muscle bound behemoths were right on the money. He looked at the man a bit wide eyed. He was reminde dof two Russian men he once saw at a pro wreslting circuit. They were called the Russian Bears. Large and in charge they were, the pride of Mother Russia. He closed his eyes and gave a polite smile. Speaking in the odd mixture of Scot, Brit, Irish accent all melded together. "Caleb McCandless concert violinist and photographer. A pleasure to meet you Sir." Polite and courteous he was.
MacabreSaVant: Well, with how Alex spoke about him, that made Mars roll his shoulders back a bit and stare at Caleb even more straight faced. Had to fit the part right?! Though, he could sense the nervousness of the young man. And then he was polite and courteous, that made Mars suspicious even more. " Where you from?" Cause, kids now a days didnt have manners. –d
Alex Vipond: Alex looked at Caleb and shook his head. "Just where are you from?" that accent was killing him.
Caleb: "My mother was from Ireland, father was from Scotland and I was born in Britannia. My parents are aristocrats and I am foreigner visiting America. Since my world tour is over for now." He looked up at the tall man waiting for his next question that he was sure was going to come. Every American he met sure behaved differently from the next.
Alex Vipond: "I ask because your accent is muddled. You were raised in London?"
MacabreSaVant: A glance to Alex, and then back to Caleb. His hair was pulled back in a low pony tail. Out of his face, though he watched the young man before him intently. " You need your car fixed or what?" In other words, why are you here. –d
Caleb: "Raised in Great Britain but I have spent a large portion of my life living in London also. " He looked at the man and simply replied. " I have no vehicle Sir." He looked down to the ground for a moment then back at him. "If you must know. I have a rare form of day sleep disorder. Not nighttime normal sleepwalking but more of a day sleep. Where one has eyes wide open appear to be awake but is day sleep walking and perform certain high level cognitive function like building an entire complex computer from stracth or in my case, playing diffuclt music notes that would normaly never be done in your normal sleep walking case. I woke up hearing a voice and found I walked five hours from my shop to this place. " It was a bit embarrassing to mention but the man demanded answers as was the vibe he gave off and he just looked down with a frown.
Alex Vipond: "London is in Great Britain... In fact one could say it is the heart of Great Britain." Alex looked over at Mars to see if he thought the dude was as odd as Alex did.
MacabreSaVant: Mars was confused on somethings. Slow blink. " So..." Pause. Glance to Alex and then back to Caleb. " You're here cause a voice it led you here?" Cant of head. Reaching up, he unbuttoned the top two buttons of his dark blue work shirt. Walking around the benz and moving into the garage to disappear momentarily only to grab a beer. It was after hours and all. –d
Alex Vipond: "Five hours? You walked five hours to get here? From where, Portland?"
Caleb: "To simply it. I was sleep walking while playing my violin and I ended up here. I stopped because I heard someone's voice called out. Which happen to be Kaly, A girl I met along with a lady name Bren in a diner two weeks back." He looked towards Alex. " I never said I walked in a straight line here. Sometimes I go all over in various directions even circle around or double back. You explain all the intricacies of how sleep disorder affects each person differently. I do not know what happens when I day walk. Few sleepwalkers remember anything that goes on during that state." If he knew the answers to where he was, why he was going where he did or what trigger these episodes. Then he could try to figure out how to stop it. He just gave a mere shrug.
MacabreSaVant: Beer was opened, cap tossed in the trash and he took a deep swig as he walked back towards the benz. It was put into neutral and pushed back into the bay only to be set to park. He would work on it later. " So you know my sister.." It felt like he was going through a whole maze of answers just to get to the answer he was wanting. "Ya'll friends?" That country drawl emitting. –d
Caleb: "This is my second time meeting her. I think its too early to label it as friends. Since I will be going to same school she is most likely. You could say we are school acquaintances or will be. I just ran across her by chance. Had she not called out and knock me out of my haze as I call it. I would have continued on walking until I snapped out of it on my own."
Alex Vipond: "How the hell do you manage to not get hit by a car? That's just scary as hell." The kid was lucky he'd not been made a cream sauce on any number of occasions. "Do you have anyone who can help you keep from becoming a hood ornament for a Mack truck?"
MacabreSaVant: Beer was tipped for another gulp. He slanted a look to Alex. " Where is Kaly?" She usually was around in the garage or talking to the new people. -d
Alex Vipond: "She went upstairs shortly before you came in. I think she's a bit put out by her lack of knowledge of your lady friend who dropped by earlier today." Alex nodded.
Caleb: "Usually one of my mates from my group or my assissant stands watch incase this happens. Today I have no clue where they disapered to which leaves me more than a bit concern. Maybe I have a guardian angel looking over my shoulder."
MacabreSaVant: "What..I cant have friends?" Brow rose curiously.A nod, he'd have to talk to Kaly. Infact, he didnt want to go run up after her. He just bellowed out. " Kaly!!" She'd hear him. –d
NiteotheAngel: It was more then just his lady friend but thats a good start. She just for now remained in her room. Until she heard that below. She knew better then to bellow back at him. She moved down the stairs and out to the garage.::"Someone bellowed for me? Yes?":: She looked to Mars.::"Ella, left a basket of stew and bread in the kitchen.":: She looked to Caleb.::"I thought one of your buddies came for you or were going to come for you."::
Alex Vipond: "I think it's more that she didn't know, and the woman more or less showed up out of the blue." He shrugged. "Kind of a harsh way to find out there's someone in the life of...." He trailed off as Kaly came down and smiled at her.
MacabreSaVant: Mars caught the drift from Alex. " I didnt realize I needed to make a list of people I meet, acquiantances and what not" Simple as that. Eyes slipped over to Kaly. " Yeah I did." He motioned her to him. " C'mere.." Crook of his finger doing the curl beckoning. -d Mars caught the drift from Alex. " I didnt realize I needed to make a list of people I meet, acquiantances and what not" Simple as that. Eyes slipped over to Kaly. " Yeah I did." He motioned her to him. " C'mere.." Crook of his finger doing the curl beckoning. –d
Caleb: He was lucky not to have come into serious harm all this time but someone was always around him to prevent that. His crew having vanish without a word and no responce at the shop made him worry. He tried to think maybe they got caught up in something. He looked at Kaly and simply said. 'There was no answer when I called. Which is odd cause someone is always there to answer in case of emergency. Maybe they got held up somewhere or forgot the time or gone missing." He stood silent a moment, wondering. " I will find out soon once I return there I suppose."
NiteotheAngel: "Sorry but not exactly in a hugging mood. Although Im glad you know where home is.":: She sighs a bit as she looked to Alex.::"Sorry we never got to have our conversation.":: She then looked to Caleb.::"Have you tried them recently since we have been talking for some time. Someone might have returned by now.":: Speaking with concern in her voice. ::"The office is available for you to make phone calls. Im sorry about all this. But, you wondering out here not is not exactly a wise choice.":: It was not that she was not glad to see Mars. Because she was glad he was okay and fine. Or so he seemed. It was the fact she didnt seem to be in on the loop. Not that it seemed to matter much.::
MacabreSaVant: Squint of his eyes. She didnt come when he called to her. Well, not that she was a pet or anything. The beer was handed to Alex and he strode on over to Kaly, without word, grabbed her and tossed her over his shoulder and carried her off to the office for a moment. Door closed. He sat her down on the couch and stood there as he stared at her. " Look. I know youre pissed at me. I got shit going on here with the Garage. Im here.. in the office or I am working. I am not ignoring you. Ive met people through work, some come and go. Some new and old. I love you and Ive just been busting my ass off with the Garage cause I got things planned for later. " He pretty much rattled off at her. " And Ella is a friend. " That was that, he regarded her a moment. " Plus, this friday.. I got some time off planned so ..dont go disappear ..but I want to tell you.." He sat down beside her now. " Im sorry.. I havent been around .. " His voice softened a bit. Peering at her. " Just trying to deal with being back and the changes.. and working on the shop.." –d
Alex Vipond: Alex looked back at Caleb. "That could be potentially problematic." Kind of the way a tactical nuke going missing could be potentially problematic. Taking Mars' beer when he was held out to him he watched him walk away to pluck Kaly up like a sack of flour and carry her off into the office. Yes he could still hear what was being said but he didn't let on. He looked at Caleb instead. "So, do you like baseball?"
MacabreSaVant: How bout them Rangers?
NiteotheAngel: She sighed as she was tossed over her brothers shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Then plopped in the chair as she listened to her own brother rant and rave. And apologize about things. She looked to her brother and shook her head. "Oh no. you wouldnt let me get off that easy. And you think you are? This is not about people coming and going. You were supposed to stay away from Ella Why? And now she is bringing you food? Oh Brother you have some things to explain? And you have beend doing more then working? I have been talking with Steve O. And seems the boss has missed a few days. Change is a constant. Either deal with it or it runs you over. Kind of learned that the hard way."::
Alex Vipond: Oh Lucy? You have some 'splainin' to do.
MacabreSaVant: "Steve O doesnt know his ass to his face. Im either here working or Im gettin shipments. Dont tell me what the fuck I am doin or not doin. Ella wanted me to stay away and she changed her mind. The reasoning you dont need to know. I Its not your business. Its mine" –d
Caleb: "I find it too ......Slow. I like soccer as Americans call it and Tennis. Polo, cricket rarely. I am getting into hockey, seems very violent and brutal. Girls beach volley is the fastest growing spectator sport I am told. Basketball is slowly growing on me I can say."
NiteotheAngel: "Anything that concerns you within reason is my business. You are my family. You and Leland are all I got. One minute Alex is telling me to tell you to stay away from her. And the next minute she is bringing me a basket of food to give to you? Hello some pieces are missing in the puzzle Mars. But, when I have nto seen you for weeks since you been back and I find out from Ella that you were here this morning? You have been doing a little more then just working your tail off. I remember what its like to work here. I havent forgot just because i dont. But, your bed has not been slept it in I dont know how long."::
MacabreSaVant: "Just because you dont see me here when you are here doesnt mean I havent been here. I know what goes on in my house, Kalypso. Then here I am telling you right now. Ella is a friend. My concern. Got it. Thats all you need to know. Our schedules arent working out..Ive been busy. And sleeping in my bed, the hell does that have to do with anything. I sleep on the couch, the patio.. sometimes in the woods cause Ive gone for a run. " Eyeing her. " You are not my mother, my girlfriend, and sure as shit not my woman. You are my younger sister. When I tell you I am working then believe that. I dont have shit to hide. "
Alex Vipond: "Girl's beach volley ball." Alex nodded and grinned. "I ... can't imagine why that would ever be popular." Yes, he was being facetious. Who wouldn't like to watch women jumping around on the beach in bikinis... Alex's eyes sort of glazed over for a moment, then he shook his head. "What was I saying?"
NiteotheAngel: "Your right Im just the sister. Nothing to worry about your concern yourself with. No, I wont and I dont expect to. Because that would be to much to ask.":: She could turn it around on him and be the same way back to him.::"Dont worry about Caleb. I will tell you as you need to know. And right now he is my concern. Your right your a grown man. I shouldnt be concerned or worry about. Its no big deal. Because in the end all I got is me.":: She sat back in the chair and waited. Okay so maybe on some of it she was being sarcastic. But, point was made.::
MacabreSaVant: "Oh no. You do not have the fuckin station to fucking talk to me like that, little girl" He snapped at her, as she went off on him. I am your fucking older brother and Guardian. That means I am in Charge. You are not." He pointed at her with all fingers forward. Very Military motion. " You will get one thing straight in your smart ass little head of yours. These are my rules, my house, you are under my care and my responsibility. What I says goes. You want to go somewhere, you ask permission. You want to date, you ask permission. You even fuckin want to get something the goddamn store you will ask me. This bullshit about you going off and doing what you want is now changed. You want to push my buttons and talk to me like Im some little punk friend of yours, your going to find another thing coming. You try to pull some shit on me I will find out so fuckin fast that your goddamn head will spin and you wont know whether you are comin and goin. I work, Kaly. I work to provide for this goddamn house and for you to have money. For this Garage to run. For our lively hood. That is why I am so goddamn busy. You want to throw a tantrum and talk to me like Im a piece of shit, you want to be a big bad ass, then go ahead see the fuck happens. But you wont til you are eighteen. Til then you are under my house , my rules and you will do as I say. Understood? Or do I need to slow it down for you so you can understand this.? " Jaw clenched as he stared at her. -d
Caleb: "That it is fun to watch lovely jiggly bits bounce up and down?" Ok one of the few times he would try to make a funny. Girls beach volleyball a sport he can get behind indeed
Alex Vipond: Or in front of it... "Yeah." Alex grinned and yes, he started drinking Mars' beer. He'd get him another one. Possession was nine tenths of the law and it was gonna grow warm at this rate. He didn't even glance toward the office as the conversation within continued. "So how is it you came up from LA did you say, without a car? I mean everyone in LA has a car. No one walks anywhere."
NiteotheAngel: "When I have seen more of your back then your face. When Alex comes here wondering if I have seen or heard from you because he cant find you. Somethings wrong. When Alex asks me when the last time I spoke to you was. And the last conversation I remember is you telling me that Im no longer grounded. The last I seen leland he was on a bike with Annalysse. Heading off somewhere. I understand you have shit to deal with since you been back and adjustment. I understand all about it because I been there. I know you work. But, when I cant even get a fucking text from you? Come on. Yes, I understand. And I have never thought that I can do whatever I want. That is other peoples perception and assumptions of me. and what they think I think."::
Caleb: "Same way I got there from New York and to here, by plane. My group has an assistant that often acts as our chauffeur evens though we do have our own driver. She says it is safer to stay together or be driven around by someone. Safety precautions as she tells us. Once or twice I slip away for me time. I walked to the waterfront on my own which is whereI met David and Avary. Though I was fully aware and in sound state of mind at the time and once in a park. Only today did I have my 'Epsiode' if you wish to call it. Most times someone drives me here or there and stay close by for: safety reasons."
MacabreSaVant: "Speaking of which. I had to buy a new phone. The other one was fucking up and I wasnt getting the messages from you, Alex or anyone else. " Dead pan voice. "Yes I ungrounded you, because I felt you were grown up enough to make your decisions and have fun. I didnt want you stuck here worrying about me or Leland. I trusted you enough to think that. To give you leeway so you can have a bit of life while I am busting my ass off. " He smirked at her. "What do you want from me? A fuckin play by play of what I am doin? " Not going to happen. –d
NiteotheAngel: "No, but a hey a friend my stop by text wouldnt hurt. Or Im on the rode at a biker party for a few days. Hope your having fun. A conversation where we are not yelling at one and other. I know you work hard Mars. That was never in question. I understand wanting to run free and things believe me I do more then you realize. Oh and your signature on paper work for school for drivers ed wouldnt hurt.":: Smirks a bit as she looked to him. ::"It seems as hard as it is for others to talk to me. Seems the only people that are not interested are my brothers. I know Lelands is busy with the bar and stuff. Dont worry Im pissed at him too. Even with the Lois Royo book and art supplies. He cant bribe me out of things.":: Smirks as she teased.::
MacabreSaVant: Didnt answer about the Biker Party since she should not know about it. He didnt tell her about it. Alex didnt tell her either. " Well If i knew she was going to stop by I would have told you" Simply. MacabreSaVant: " I would love a conversation with my little sister where we arent arguing, but it seems that you are always bitching and moaning about where the hell I am or where I am. I got shit I am doing to keep this place going. Just leave the things if you cant find me in the office on my desk and I wil get to it. Leave a note. " Simple enough. " I will be around more. Business will so down. But you can not be a nosey shit about things that doesnt concern you. " Meaning like, where he may have been or what he was doing. Cant get any type of play that way. –d
Alex Vipond: "That would drive me bat shit, having to have someone drive me everywhere. Well, if your driver ever needs a place to take the car...." Alex hooked a thumb to the garage bay. Yes, shameless plug of the local talent. "Mars does excellent work and stands behind it."
Caleb: "He looks like he rather eat me or something then fix a car belonging to me." Going with whole picking teenagers out of his teeth with a telephone pole as a toothpic saying.
NiteotheAngel: "I know its not easy being a parent. especially to me. But, when you havent been around for awhile a womans going to get concerned. and start wondering what the fucks going on? Have you ever figured out why I bitch and moan? Why I walk around pissed off? ever Ask why directly instead of hinting at it. Im trying not to freak out every time you walk out that door. Im trying not to worry and know you will be okay. When you and Leland left I couldnt even stay here because Sasha and Abbey both left . I came home to an empty house for a bit before having to go live with Sasha. Its not a matter of me setting rules. I can be the obedient soldier belive it or not. I just need someone to talk to and have listen every now and then. And clued in on whats going on. So I dont get so defensive when a woman you are supposed to be staying away from is bringing you food.":: Swallows as she sits in the chair.:::
Alex Vipond: "What are big brothers for?" Alex smiled and nodded. "Gotta watch out for baby sis and well face it, you're not hanging around to talk to me." Because Alex didn't swing that way, so it had to be Kaly keeping him hovering when he had no car to be repaired.
Caleb: "Well I am just a teenager so being driven around is not to big a hassel. I was use to it back home but it can drive me up a wall. A reason I sometimes sneak away to go someplace on my own."
MacabreSaVant: Mars leaned back in the couch. Listening to her and considered what she had to say. The weight of it. " Thats the most grown up thing you have said since this arguement." Smirks amused at her. " You got it.." He told her. " Just....aslong as its not girl talk.. you know.. about. boys.. or that.. girl stuff that girls go through.." Brows knitted. Eyeing her. " You can go to Sasha.. or Anna.. or Abby..cause Im clueless with that.." –d
NiteotheAngel: "Okay so no talking about sex with you. got it and Im sure you dont want to know when I lose it either.":: She was teasing him back a bit as he still had those old fashion thoughts about women sitting around discussing their period and things. When that was so far from the truth. She smirks.::"Everyone is so quick to tell me what I need that I think they forget that Im a person too. And sometimes its the simple questions tha need to be asked. And very few have done that."::
Alex Vipond: "My moments as a teenager usually involved the qu... My cousin's, girlfriends. One or the other of them never seemed to fail to find me..." His teen years had been highly formative. Alex glanced toward the office. He so didn't need to know about that shit either. Unless he had to remove someone's head, then he was all in.
MacabreSaVant: Nodding." Just.. yeah. remember this.. if you decide to give up that part of you.. be sure you dont like the guy cause he will be a dead man soon after." Nods sagely. " Dont forget I know your scent and will know if it happens" Sucks to be Kaly LOL-d
NiteotheAngel: "I know yours too big brother. which reminds me. How did it end up on Ella?":: Raising a brow as she figured there was a simple explanation. She smiles sweetly as she looks to him.::
MacabreSaVant: He grinned at her. Little shit. " I did a Guarding job for her which meant that I had to be with her while she slept. " Simple as that. " It is a traditional thing for a Wolf to do for someone like her" –d
NiteotheAngel: "Mmmhmmm. So, what is she?":: Raising a brow as she looked to him. figuring from the way he spoke. that she was more then meets the eye.::
Alex Vipond: In Alex's day, a woman, would have been married, and with child by the time she was Kaly's age, but times had changed. Societal mores and legalities had changed. Teens today didn't have the maturity that those in his age did. Young men her age had, in all likelihood, seen combat. Some never made it back from the battlefield. Alex pushed those thoughts away and looked back at Caleb.
MacabreSaVant: "Cant tell you. Thats for me to know. " Simply. " Leave it. Do not go try to find out either. " He wasnt going to argue about it. Pausing amoment. " Your friend is still here. Go be respectful and offer him something to eat or drink since he's still waiting" Rising up, Mars moved to the small fridge by the desk and grabbed couple more beers. Since well he was sure the one Alex had was hot –d
Caleb: "Oh. I can not say the same. I been too busy practicing my career since I was young then my parents slip into a long coma until now when they woke up finally. No time for a girlfriend or love life as normal teens have. Never had a time for dating when my music came first. I could not afford distracitons when you are a very young concert violinist always practice, practice,practice and school work. Add on parents suffering a bad accident and going into a coma for a few years and trying to manage family etsates with my grandparents. You had a more fun carefree teenage childhood then me Mr Alex. You are lucky in that regard."
Alex Vipond: "Dude, women are the reason songs are written. Happy or sad, they're the catalyst for most everything in life. They can raise us up or drop us to our knees with a look. And I've been playing since I was four, composing since I was eight. I pretty much know the import of music." For Alex, music was life, he lifted his left hand and flashed his wedding band at Caleb. "And I still had time to chase her until she caught me." As for that beer, he'd pretty much killed it. There was a little foam down in the bottom of the bottle. He could definitely go for another though.
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso nodded as she moved off the chair. And headed to where Caleb and Alex were.::"Caleb you are still here? Figured your friends would have come and got you by now? If you need to you can grab the couch for the night and go home in the morning. No reason to wake everyone up this late.":: She smiled::"Can i get you anything to drink or eat?":: Trying to fight a bit of tiredness as it sets in.::
Alex Vipond: "What she means is she can ask her brother if it's okay." Alex nodded and smiled, looking from Caleb to Kaly.
Caleb: "I prefer to chase one girl. Not a whole flock as other my age do. Yet, that girl has yet to come along. Just different priorities I guess. I see it love happens when it happens. I still got plenty of time. Women have also been known to be the death of countless men as well. " Helen of Troy anyone. Movies with crazy pshycotic women and feme fatals. Swim fan, Fatal Attraciton, Obession, the list goes on and on. He turned to look at Kaly."Milk will be find and I do not want to impose Kaly. I can still walk home just fine. If fate decided something bad happens to me, what can I do.?"
NiteotheAngel: It was after Alex corrected her that she could see where the whole you can do what you want perception came to mind. She was just being curteous. Looking to Alex as she knew he was right about it this time.::"No No no. Mars will not have a young teenager roaming about the streets. Or I doubt he would.":: looking to Mars.::"Is it okay if Caleb stays on the couch? Its late and seems pointless for him to walk home. Higher probability of something happening to him in low visiblitiy times like now.":: Raising a brow as she looked to him.::"Besides your room is not far from mine."::
MacabreSaVant: Mars was busy drinking his beer. Picture Thor going to town on some mugs of ale and slamming it to the ground with a crash and bellowing for more! Didnt go that far but yeah it was tempting. Eyes flicked to the kid and Kaly. "Im sure Alex can give him a ride. " Flashed a toothy grin to Alex. –d
Alex Vipond: Looking back at Caleb, Alex nodded. "Sometimes it takes time. A lot of time, to find the right one." Yeah, he knew that all too well. "But that doesn't mean you wait to date. You won't know until you try. You could be passing the one up waiting for something else that won't come."
Caleb: "Mother warn me about getting into cars with strange men, no offense. Plus you do not need to go out of your way for some young kid you only know a name and odd sleep disorder." He tried to keep a lite humor on it. That cliche don't dont trust strangers or get into cars with them was around for a reason.
Alex Vipond: "You never know, I could get hungry and decide to make a snack of you." Was he kidding? It was kind of hard to tell.
MacabreSaVant: Coughs.
Caleb: Case in point
