Alex Vipond: Alex pulled into the lot and headed inside. He was, more or less on a mission and he needed Seija to help him. Once he stepped through the door, he paused, eyes sweeping over the room to find Seija. Once he did, he headed straight for her.
ShiversWhisper: :Nodding her head , she agreed with the others, playing pool would be a way to spend the night. Looking at Alex though as he came in, she hushed and watched him with concern:;d:
J Avalon Xavier: "Evening, Alex." She smiled, but didn't say anything about pool since it seemed he needed to speak with Seija.
Seija Naris: She turned to look as the door opened as well and gave a smile and wave to Alex, "Hello Alex." Though she wasn't used to him looking for her... –d
Alex Vipond: "Hi." He nodded to Elle, and then looked back at Seija. "Can we talk?"
ShiversWhisper: ::As he came closer she would sense his urgency and moved away from the couple, a smile to each, giving them space to talk alone. Taking up her water bottle and heading over to the pool table :
:
Seija Naris: "Sure.." Seemed out of character, so she assumed he meant in private. She moved from her stool and headed toward Derrick's office, opening the door for him to step inside. –d
Alex Vipond: Alex followed her and stepped inside, a glance around given before he looked back at her. "I need to know if you can run a DNA test on me. For paternity. I need to know what that sort of test is going to show. If it's going to in anyway... Expose certain things about my ... condition."
J Avalon Xavier: Eggnog in hand, she got up and followed to the pool table. "Are you a pool shark?" Teased with a grin.
ShiversWhisper: "No, but have been able to snooker a few , but , eight ball works for me. Want to give it a shot?"::Her own smile triggered as she already was reaching for stick::
Seija Naris: She'd closed the door behind him and walked further into the room before turning to face him. With his question she raised her eyebrows and thought long and hard. "...Well.. I honestly can't say that I've ever received blood tests back on a.. well.. a vampire.. So I'm not 100% sure if it would expose any specifics about your blood other than your blood cells aren't.. alive.." She didn't know how long Alex had been a vampire so she wasn't even sure his DNA could be used for a paternity test.. but.. it didn't seem impossible. –d
J Avalon Xavier: "I've never played snooker." She smirked and went to rack the balls. "But, eight ball works for me." She nodded.
ShiversWhisper: ::Once she rolled a stick across the table a couple of times, finding the right one that didn't seem to wobble as much, would chalk it up. That smile ever present now as she had not played in ages and wondered if she yet knew how.
::record skip holy bat chit, Alex is a vamp? daaang lol :
J Avalon Xavier: Balls were racked up and arranged, pushed to the dot on the table and squished in the triangle before removing it. "Okay, you break."
Alex Vipond: Long story. Suffice to say, Alex had one hell of a bitch of an ex. "Does it have to be blood? I mean can't they just like swab my cheek or some shit?" He scowled and paced the room like a caged animal. "If Naja isn't successful in her bid to have this stupid fucking lawsuit killed, I may have turn over a sample."
Seija Naris: She nodded, "Any sort of DNA can be used... as long as it's DNA." Brows furrowed, "What exactly is going on...?" –d
Alex Vipond: "Last tour. LA. March. Some chick is saying I nailed her after the show and knocked her up." He nodded. "And she has filed a paternity suit."
ShiversWhisper: ::As the rack lifted she would walk down the end of the table and look down her pool stick taking aim and tried her best to explode the mass but get at least one solid in, her favorite:
:
Seija Naris: Brows knit. "I thought.. people in your condition.. couldn't have children...?" It didn't make sense to her.. they were supposedly undead. Almost, in a roundabout way, like her.. –d
Alex Vipond: "Theoretically our body temp is too low to produce viable sperm, but that's not the point, the point is I didn't sleep with her."
Seija Naris: She nodded, "Of course." Thinking. "Well.. I'm pretty sure Derrick has unofficial ways of getting DNA tests, but if you need it for court then it may have to be 'official'.. in which case I may be able to get it done for you in the RhyDin Hospital.. That way I can monitor who sees and handles the results.." –d
Alex Vipond: "I think the court's going to want someone local." He scowled, one hand lifted to sift through his hair in that nervous way he had.
Xavier Darnai: If only he knew someone who had mysterious ways.
J Avalon Xavier: Okay, so Michelle was solids. "Nice break." Ava smiled and looked over the table before moving around to make a shot on the stripes, which she missed. "I have no skill at this game."
Seija Naris: "Oh.. well.. do you know anyone that could help you with that..?" -d
Alex Vipond: He stopped fiddling with his hair and looked at her. "Actually..." he contemplated and pulled his phone, dialing Xavier's number because he was the sneakiest bastard he knew. He stood there, listening as the phone rang.
Xavier Darnai [11:18 P.M.]: The phone answered, and it was on speaker. In the background there was the sound of automechanical work. "Go ahead."
ShiversWhisper: "I am sure that we both will get used to this once we shoot a couple more. Can't have these guys saying we don't know what to do with our balls can we?": Just had to, yes she went there with the bathroom humor. Slow grin growing as she took her shot next:;d:
J Avalon Xavier: She just smirked and shook her head. "No, we can't have that." Ava really had no skill at the game, but that was okay. All in good fun. Once it was her turn, she went around the table again, liined up a shot and almost made it. All she could do was laugh at herself.
Seija Naris: Seija watched him for a moment then moved to take a seat in Derrick's office chair. –d
Alex Vipond: "Xavier... I have a question for you." He started pacing again. "Is there any way, you could swing a paternity test in Los Angeles that will not only prove I didn't knock some chick up but will also keep me from being outed?" Yes he did finally stop and draw a breath in. The whole thing kind of came out as one long rushed sentence.
Xavier Darnai [11:26 P.M.]: The work stopped for a moment. "How the devil did you end up in a situation where you require a paternity test."
ShiversWhisper: ::Her ears were buzzing and she shook her head lowering her head down , then slowly lifting it again before her eyes focused on the ball she was shooting for. Her smile back again the second the stick hit the cue. sending it at one of the solids to pocket.:
: "Think a beer would be nice , playing pool and drinking a beer , would go together, would you like one?"
J Avalon Xavier: "Sure." She smiled. "Corona for me, please." She waited for Michelle to get their drinks before taking her shot, which she finally made. Then lined up for a second one, and missed.
Alex Vipond: "Dude, fans can be fucking crazy. This chick says I knocked her up after the show in Los Angeles back in March. Which, seriously, after the show, after the signing and the pictures I was too wrecked to do more than curl up around my wife."
Xavier Darnai [11:27 P.M.]: "Nevermind, not important. There're a few ways it can be done."
ShiversWhisper: ::Once she got their Coronas, same beer she always drank when drinking beer, brought them back to the table, handing over Avas to her with a smile:: "See told you, you would catch on" d
Seija Naris: She watched curiously. It must be difficult to have to keep what you are hidden all the time. She didn't last very long trying to hide what she was when she came back to RhyDin, she couldn't imagine trying to live a life on earth. –d
J Avalon Xavier: Taking the offered bottle with a, "Thanks" She looked at the table and shrugged. "It's just luck, I promise. I'm kind of clumsy, so...yeah..." Then took a drink.
Alex Vipond: "I'm gonna be in LA on Monday first hearing is there. Naja's trying to get his thing killed before it starts and she pulled favors with the Judge's Judicial Assistant to get us on the docket. This is the same judge that packed two kids off to France because their father wasn't allowed in the country for his illegal activity. I think I may be fucked."
Seija Naris: Except not literally.
Xavier Darnai [11:31 P.M.]: "Right then. It can be done. Question is whether or not you want to know what's being done or not." The smirk was practically audible when he'd heard the comment about being fucked. "Phrasing, mate." There was a pause and the sound of some loud clanking. "Best way to resolve the issue is make sure the person running the test is already aware of your condition, and not going to speak out to it. If you've got to have it done Monday, you either need to move quickly and make sure that you know who'll do it, or make sure that there's only one person who can. It's doable, but with this sort of time frame it'll be a touch risky to do clean."
Alex Vipond: Yeah, no cause Alex didn't roll that way. He only fucked his wife. "You mean how the test is run?"
Xavier Darnai [11:40 P.M.]: "If you can ensure that there's no possible way you can be available for the test prior to Thursday, that'd be enough time for me to go about some semblance of a contingency without putting anyone out."
ShiversWhisper: "Your welcome. And I think that your doing just fine.":: she tried again to shoot a bank shoot, totally missing as she tried to look like a pro , coming off with the ball almost flying off the table. She chuckled. Then went over to take a drink:
:
J Avalon Xavier: "So are you." She snickered and took another drink before setting the bottle down and going to line up another shot. Around the table, with a hmm here or there before giving it a go and missing.
Alex Vipond: "I'm not sure when the test will be ordered but if the case isn't dismissed, it's going to happen.” Thursday… “That can be doable. " He nodded. "I mean it's not like they're gonna try and stick me with a needle, right then and there.... right?"
Xavier Darnai [11:42 P.M.]: "You said your lawyer's quite good, yes."
Alex Vipond: "She's a shark. A red headed shark in Louboutins." He nodded. "She once made the County Attorney cry. And he's a dude."
Xavier Darnai [11:46 P.M.]: "Then you'll likely be fine. Besides, they won't need blood. For paternity they'd only need out've your cheek or the like. The concern there's that the cells there're going to be questionable and any good tech's going to raise questions. If it does come to that, let me know immediately and I'll take care of it other ways."
Seija Naris: Seija listened quietly and slid her phone over, across Derrick's desk. She looked at it for a second then unlocked it and sent off a text. Well.. okay.. she didn't send the text.. she just typed it... then deleted it. –d
Alex Vipond: "Cool. Thanks man. I'll cover the cost of whatever it takes to make it happen."
Xavier Darnai [11:47 P.M.]: "Is your lawyer aware of your particular state of being."
ShiversWhisper: ::Taking a good swig of beer, that tasted pretty good. Night was quiet but down to it, was getting very late. She looked at the last remaining ball on the table and really tried this time , that 8 ball. :
:
Alex Vipond: "She is." Alex nodded. "She's one of the few." Naja. Izzy. Ashlyn didn't know, but she really didn't need to to keep his finances in order.
Xavier Darnai [11:50 P.M.]: "Right, then best to keep her in the loop on this, but keep my name out've it. This isn't exactly going to be on the level, but for obvious reasons playing the same game's out've the question."
ShiversWhisper: "Hate to say it, but think you just won. I have to get going or I turn into a pumpkin."::Her smile beamed over to Ava, she liked her alot, it showed. Putting up her stick back on the wall where it belonged:
:
Alex Vipond: "Got it. I'll let her know when I see her Monday morning. Meghan and I are flying to LA tomorrow."
Xavier Darnai [11:53 P.M.]: "Keep me appraised." The phone disconnected a moment later.
ShiversWhisper: ::She finished off her beer, and put the empty away. Slipping back into her pretty blue coat, and taking up her bag. Looking over to Ava as she had to get going quickly. It was that time. :: "Take good care, see you soon. Tell the others for me cheerio"
:
Alex Vipond: "Will..." He pulled the phone from his ear and looked at it, smirking. "Do." He looked at Seija and dragged his hand through his hair. "I think I may get through this without making more headlines for the right reasons." He let out a breath, visibly relieved. "Thanks, Seija."
J Avalon Xavier: She turned into a pumpkin? Ava laughed and waved. "Have a good night, Michelle." Her own stick put away, she ventured back to the bar to clean things up.
Seija Naris: She blinked, looking up from her phone and over at Alex, then smiled. "Oh.. Nothing to thank me for. I wish you luck." –d
Alex Vipond: "No, but you pointed me in the right direction so for that... thanks." He nodded and then stepped out. He smiled to Ava. "I am so sorry I brushed past you earlier. And hi." He nodded to her. "I... have to go home now though. Meghan and I are catching an early flight out to tend to some business elsewhere."
Seija Naris: She nodded and stood, following him out. –d
J Avalon Xavier: She waved and smiled to Alex. "Tell Meghan I said hello."
Facets Of A Muse: Was the bar still open? She hoped it was, especially since she could certainly use a drink after making the drive to get there. Reaching the door, she gave it a pull to feel the wooden door give way to allow her passage. Slipping inside she shivered some muttering under her breath, "Who decided to make it so damn cold outside?" Her jacket was left pulled up tight with a soft black knit cap on top of her head being removed to let the mass of silken pink hair fall free. Icy blue gaze slid to occupants both coming and going, as well as those staying and a wolfish smile formed giving a flash of pearly whites. "Evening, Morning.. whichever suits you." |d|
Seija Naris: Seija peeked over at Ava, "I think I'm gonna turn in.. Sorry I didn't get to play pool." She smiled a bit. "Goodnight." And waved to her and the new patron. "And goodnight, Alex." Then she headed back into the office. –d
J Avalon Xavier: "It's okay." She smiled to Seija then looked t the woman who entered. "Evening, and welcome to the Grumpy Gator. What can I get for you?"
Alex Vipond: "I will, thanks." He nodded and looked back to Seija. "Thanks again." And then he was heading for the door, a nod given the woman on the way in as he made his way out and to his car. The next few days were going to be very, very busy.
