Sanctuary - The Gathering

Post by Doc »

"--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--"
Doc was in the lobby of the Sanctuary checking his cell for messages. Minx, Chubchub, Dawnie all said they would come. Leo too, but she seemed concerned about being absolute on her yes.

Doc had told Cyth about this, but she vaguely implied she had previous plans. He didn't press her. This could one of her ways of telling him, *he* needed to spend time with his spawns, Not her spending time with his spawns. It was so much easier for her to do this sort of thing.

Pi dArtois The renovation of the Under Secretary Office was complete and with the renovation of the first floor of what had once been her office and then the entrance to the Training Room, was morphed into the reception area of the apartments upper and lower. Gone was her desk that sat in the corner, and in its pace was a L-Shaped reception area and elevators to take residents to their apartments. But the Training Room hadn't changed, the equipment had been placed back the pool finally uncovered and newly chlorinated.

Pi dArtois The swish of water greeted her as she took the portal directly into the gymnasium itself, depositing her directly on top of the door way that led to the sewers below. It was a short cut to the QZ that no one used anymore (especially since the family had a portal that deposited them directly there).

Pi dArtois Elliot was working tonight, and the look he gave her when she told him about the text from Doc said it all really. He have come if she'd asked him. He'd have come because he, even more than she, appreciated what it meant to keep connected to those they had turned (even if you didn't' always get along). There were two branches that Pi rarely got to connect with, Pratt's little brood and Doc's. For Pratt there was no reversing the tides there. What was done, was done and where she had considered forgiving him his failures, she understood that there was no way he would forgive her, hers.

Leona joins Sanctuary

Pi dArtois It was not the same with Charles, and she hoped in this case, her being here would come some small way to changing how disconnected she was from the people Charles had turned. Turning in place she surveyed the room and smiled at Charles, giving him a small nod and she came forward.

Pi dArtois "Bonjour Charles... Cava?" she said quietly in greeting.

Cathy Dawn is sitting down reading a book called Dark Blood. It is a book that she has the whole collection of. She is wearing skin tight black pants, Black top and black shoes.

Cathy Dawn http://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/Costume ... 95&hei=792 _))

Pi dArtois (Pi Wearing: http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9 ... tb2eRAGZlw - with 3/4 faded skinny jeans and ballet flats)

Doc "Hello Pi." He smiled his usual crooked close lipped smile, but it was a genuine smile. "You are looking well." He sent a quick look around, and noted Elliot was not about. he seemed relieved, He didn't want fight in front of his spawns. In his scan of the room, he spotted Dawnie. He looked back at Pi, and nodded toward Dawnie. "That's Dawnie.. my .. " he cleared his throat somewhat "Baby..."

Dominique joins Sanctuary

Dominique steps into the lobby still carrying the stench of way too many plants as she does. Looks around and spots Doc and interesting enough...Leona. raises a brow and approaches.

Skylar joins Sanctuary

Cathy Dawn hears her name and looks up "Hi dad?" She says then goes to close the book. She wondered if he had seen the mess she had made of the bed in the room she had been in before coming down here to read her book. It was funny.

Pi dArtois "Hello .... " Pi greeted facing the woman. She wasn't sure it was appropriate to use the same nickname and was uncomfortable adopting the same so didn't. Instead she greeted the woman, her hands reaching into the slim pockets of her three quarter pants as Pi held herself back leaning forward to kiss the woman's cheeks.

Kaelyn joins Sanctuary

Pi dArtois "It is nice to meet you."

Cathy Dawn smiles at Pi as she has her cheek kissed "Hello ma'am. It is nice to meet you as well."

Kaelyn stuffed her phone into the pocket of her flower printed summer dress as she pushed through the front door to the lobby. She had been told by both Cathy and Papi to come, so she figured she should probably do so. Meeting new people was never very easy for her though and it had her a bit of a nervous wreck. Steadying her nerves a bit as she saw Doc, she made her way over to him, already deciding that she'd be attached to his hip for the evening. Three people she didn't recognize already in view. "Hi Papi..."

Pi dArtois So many faces Pi didn't know. How does that happen, that the little group you once thought you knew well could bloom and swell with faces that she wouldn't know to acknowledge if she passed them on the street. But maybe that is what these events where for, for just that reason. To shave off the anonymity and open themselves up to who others had brought into the family too. Despite their differences her and Charles were learning to slowly understand their place in each other's lives, no matter how satellite that may be. "How are you settling in?” Pi asked Cathy, her gaze moving away from the other who had just arrived to give the woman her full attention.

"--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--"
Leona had made her way in quietly and taken a seat somewhere quiet where she could wait for Dominique or maybe Kenlie to arrive and wouldn't have to talk to Doc. Leona had decided ignoring him was probably the best way to go about things, or they might end up fighting again. When she spotted Dominique Leona raised a hand and waved.

Doc smelled the aroma of plants, before he realized it was attached to his Spawn Minx. His crooked grin became more pronounced as he saw her. "Hello Minx.. " He half turned from Minx to Pi and Dawnie, "This is Dominique." Then looking at Dominique, "Minx, this is my Sire.. and your newest sibling.. Dawnie.. " just as Chubchub attached herself to him. "And Everyone.. this is Chubchub.. my grandchub." He sighed, "Prepare yourselves.. she's a hugger.."

Dominique watches all the interaction curiously looking at Leona in particular.

Skylar I ruffle my hair, thankful that I had the foresight to buy a set of leather, fingerless gloves after the last time Ric decided to immobilise me by pinning my hand in place with a dagger. Wasn't really expecting to ever have to use them since I'd told him my hands and throat were off limits but Ric being Ric chose to ignore me and even sweet talked - yes, Ric can do that - into cancelling my plans for the weekend. Well most of them; I didn't want to let Doc down. I didn't really need my hands to hang out and chat. Really I probably could play music and make **** like normal and still be better than any human on the planet but my ego won't let me make anything - music included - if it's sub-par. Ric and I don't walk in hand in hand, we're not that couple. Ric nods his hello to those he knows. I give a little wave. "Hey guys.” I look around the group. I know Pi and Doc and that's it. I'm pretty sure they're the only two Ric knows too. I walk over and kiss Pi on the cheek before hugging her. "Hey Mama Bear.”

Cathy Dawn me sees Kae and waves to her and then stand up giving her a big hug "I am adjusting fine I think. Dad told me no too many things and I said Okay." Others showed up and she actually stepped behind Doc as if to hide. She did not know how they would react to her and her weird style.

Pi dArtois It was interesting how the others called Charles Dad, as if the act of turning had created a paternal relationship. While she thought of this group as her family, she hadn't actively encouraged anyone to think of her as a mother figure. It was an interesting dynamic that it seemed Charles did. A man she would hardly credit with much paternal inclinations in him. "Hello” Pi greeted the one called Minx, wondering again at how she was meant to use these nicknames. Were these the names they were now known as? Like Bruce Wayne was to Batman? Or was it an affectation for Charles alone and somewhere hidden in the greeting was the name others, not so close used? The thought ran through her mind as Pi smiled, taking in the woman's features and wondering where it was she'd seen her before. "Nice to meet you as well. So many I haven't met yet.”

Kaelyn found a belt loop on Doc's pants and hooked a finger around it to keep herself attached to him. Teeth chewed at her bottom lip as her other hand lifted to wave a tiny bit towards Cathy, but was pulled into a hug almost instantly by her. She wrapped that free arm around the girl, hugging her in return. Eyes fell on Dominique, she recognized her. A small smile fell on her lips as she waved towards her as well...she's the one with a goat. It was cute.

Dominique steps over to Leona as her eyes take in the faces about Doc and finally pauses where the redhead stands. "You ok?"

Pi dArtois "Dominique is a beautiful name.. " Pi said, relieved to have a name she felt comfortable speaking

vadablade joins Sanctuary

Dominique raises HOPE to give a light wave to Kaelyn and hears a voice that pulls her attention quickly to the woman that looks familiar. Auction was it? Swallows. So that is her. "Hello."

vadablade slowly blinked away the sunlight, maybe sleeping against a tree all day was wrong. He slipped inside slowly, he wasn't used to crowds, and made his way to Pi and kissed her cheek before trying to find a corner.

Pi dArtois Pi wasn't great in crowds. She knew she'd have to deal with the many faces and names and overlapping conversations but they weren't he strong suit. She wasn't easily drawn to each conversation, nor did she had the talent to balance each thread between people and speak easily. That had always been Elliot's talent. The smooth Australian who had the knack of smoothing her rough social edges and helping her not look so socially inept. At Skylar's kiss on the cheek, Pi smiled widely. "Bonjour Sky¦ This is Charles¦ and Dawnie.”

Leona flashed Dominique a soft smile before looping a single arm around her friend and drawing the woman into a hug. "Yeah. You?"

Dominique smiles a bit as her dark eyes shift to Leona. "What are you doing down here?"
Am I strong enough?

"--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--"
Pi dArtois "Cathy is new to being one of us..." Pi explained, threading Sky into the current conversation. "But she says she is slowly adjusting."

Doc salutes Ric, as he normally did, "Hi Skylar, Ric... thanks for coming. I wanted to make sure .. the spawns knew the important people. In case they need something and I am not available." He saw Leo, "Ah.." He looked pointed at Leona, "Leo you came.. thank you."

Dominique hears his voice and looks back at him.

Cathy Dawn stays behind Doc only peaking out to look at everyone and then pokes him "You could not have done it one at a time?" Yep she was a bit overwhelmed.

Pi dArtois Taking a hold of Vada's arm before he could leave, Pi ran her hand down his arm to squeeze his hand before letting it go to drop at his side. This was her newest addition to the family. And in that moment she realised how hard it must be on him to be surrounded by people he didn't know well either. "Vada.. you know Sky.. and Charles I think. This is Dawnie.” She introduced, trying to place quasi-host as well as she could, blending their two groups together so they came to know who each other was.

Doc looks back at Minx as if to say 'what'. Then dismisses her look to address Dawnie, "No. I couldn't."

Leona tilted to the side, leaning her weight against Dominique's side. "You and new people." Leona cast her emerald gaze towards Doc and gave a nod of recognition.

Kaelyn looked at Dawn, giving her a quick nod in agreement. There were so many people...she wasn't used to being around this many at a time

Doc nodded "Vee and I know each other.. he's .. " he was going to say ******* Klara,.. but then he promised Cyth he would be nice, "..Works for me.."

Skylar I smile at the newbie. "Hey Cathy. I'm Skylar. Welcome to the nuthouse. Glad you're adjusting.” I then look over at Doc. "It's only important to know me if they want something shiny.”

Dominique usually warm dark eyes went from Doc to Leona then narrowed as they went back to Doc. Her jaw tightened slowly at his expression.

Doc gave Skylar a look, "You sell yourself short. You're good at this social thing.. most of us aren't. I appreciate that in you."

vadablade smiled softly as he felt her fingers, he looked at Skylar and nodded. "She was the beautiful lady at the party and the one who gave me a sword." He inclined his head in a nod to Doc as he stayed near Pi. Something about his siress calmed him.

Dominique leaned in to Leona and felt the air grow cooler as she whispered. "Serious?"

Skylar "Is that the nice way of saying I'm loud?” I grin at Doc. "Yeah I guess I like to socialise more than most but I don't see a bar around here anywhere…. Unless I missed it?” I sound hopeful but I know the chances are slim.

Kaelyn whispered to Cathy "Do you know any of these people?"

Doc was blissfully unaware the of undercurrent of rage being sent his way by Minx, he was feeling pretty good, most of the spawns showed up. Cat hadn't be she was still angry with Pi. Kenlie.. had not.. which he figured. And Jacq. Yes all in all it was shaping up to be a good night.

Doc "No.. it was me being genuine. I don't do well at these things.. and you have a way of making people feel at ease.. it was ******* compliment.. take it."

Cathy Dawn keeps behind Doc and Close to Kae and shook her head. "no I do not there are many."

Skylar I laugh. "Thanks."

Kaelyn twisted curls around her finger "Are you coming to my pool party tomorrow still? It's around like...8ish I think"

Pi dArtois Pi looked around the room and wondered at the people who stood there. How six degrees of separation were typified in this room. All of these people with varying backgrounds, seemingly unconnected, yet here they were, in a way, tenuous at first, connected in blood. Not like a family, but like one all the same. Genetics didn't bind them but blood in a way did. From Mircea to Habren, then to Rev and herself unless that tenuousness solidified into something that brought a seemingly disparate group to one place to break the anonymity of ‘stranger' and building it into something… else. "Yes,” Pi replied to Vada's comment about Skylar's work. "She has a beautiful way with metal… I wish I had half her talent.” Pi didn't reach out to calm him again with her touch, but she hoped he would stay close. "Bonjour” Pi greeting the woman she had yet to be introduced to yet.. "Je suis Pi.” She finished.

Dominique slid her hand into Leona's and protectively weaved her fingers into the woman's hand.

Pi dArtois Pi listened to what the woman said and smiled, pointing to the pool gurgling behind them. "Feel free to jump in if you'd like... it's open to all who come to the Sanctuary."

Cathy Dawn not to Kae."Would not miss it though should go shopping for new suit I have a retro one."

Kaelyn Ooh! Esperanza needs a new one too! Go with her tonight! She would love that. Papi took me to get a new one the other day

"--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--"
Doc cleared his throat. "I would like to a say thanks for coming everyone. I am not the best at this sort of thing. But I want you to know that .. everyone here.. can be trusted. Should be trusted, and if they need help, help them. IF you need help .. call them."

Kaelyn furrowed her brow "But you said not to trust anyone."

vadablade watched the crowd as he leant forward and whispered to Pi. "So I know Doc is my sire brother, are most of these his children of the curse?" He was coming to terms with the lovely gift Pi had given him, slowly.

Doc "Except these people." He gave her a look. "Do not trust 18 yr old males that say "I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours.."

Kaelyn He's not 18...he's 26 or 27...maybe 25

Cathy Dawn looks at Doc "Eww That is so 3rd grade"

Skylar I look over at Ric. I'm pretty sure he's wondering if my ego can take my much more praise. Hell I know I am. I'm good at certain things and I know it but I'm still not really all that comfortable being praised about anything outside of my music. "Wow. I thought this was a meet and greet, not a love fest.” I look over at Ricky and wink at him, I'm not sure if he wants to be introduced or not. Probably not.

Doc "Then he's a ******* pervert.. do not trust him."

Skylar "Who’s a perv?"

Pi dArtois Pi couldn't remember the last time members of their family had got together like this. Since this sort of get together wasn't within her comfort zone, she rarely thought of having them. When Charles spoke she smiled, the emotion reaching her eyes. Isn't that what she had always hoped for their group, the joining of these at first disparate people into a group that understood they could lean on one another, support each other. It was good. Pi wasn't a proud person, had never supposed to implant herself as a leader, although invariably that is where she was shoved. She was a facilitator though, a working in the background, giving and receiving and working in the wings to help others. So his statement fit… and it made her happy. Turning to Vada she spoke softly. "Ask him… and yes Charles is … your brother.”

Kaelyn grumbled a bit "No one's a perv. Can we drop it?"

Doc gestured to Dawnie, while looking at Chubchub, "See?! She knows.. Men can't be trusted.. except Ric and Vee.. and me..No one else."

Dominique was sure there was a lot she obviously missed. As she stood there was giving her the same feeling as finding a few missing pieces to a puzzle she couldn't put together until that moment. Her eyes float to Kaelyn also casually hanging about then finally back to the female that was powerful enough, if that was the word, to make all of this happen. This time she swallowed slow watching and listening. Maybe she had been all wrong.

Pi dArtois "And Elliot." Pi inserted, her gaze turning to Charles with an arched brow

Skylar "Yeah Ellie's a sweetheart." I know Ric doesn't agree so I don't look to him for confirmation of that.

Doc counted, and grudgingly growled, "him too."

Roderic joins Sanctuary

vadablade slowly felt the lingering effects of the shift as his eyes slowly began to turn golden, surely he would get a better grasp of it. He nodded to Pi's words as the man made his way to Doc. He straightened his bowtie, bowties were sexy, then waited a moment before speaking. "Are these everyone you have shared the nights embrace with?"

Kaelyn stared at Doc and then Cathy "He talks weird."

Pi dArtois Pi wasn't sure about Ric, but she was warming. This would be the second team raid she'd worked with him on and he was efficient and good at what he did. No heroics, no dramas, just get in and do the job which Pi could appreciate. She was a no frills person herself and as much as Elliot tried to entangle a person's choice about faction in their trustworthiness, she also didn't hold Ty against the man. Just the fact she didn't know him from a bar of soap, and that she wasn't sure she wanted to set the precedent of letting ‘partners' into their family group. Smiling at Doc's concession she turned that small expression towards Sky and nodded. "They'll get there.” She soothed.

Cathy Dawn was started to get scared and her anxiety was climbing as she listened to everyone and saw all the new people.

Roderic doesn't say **** about Elliot. I don't even raise a brow at the statement or look around. I do nothing, as if I didn't hear it.

Doc yanked Chubchub's hair, "Yes.. all of them.. save Chubchub here.. She is .. a grandchilde that I have adopted.. like Klara.."

Kaelyn was happy she wasn't the only with anxiety problems.

Skylar "Nights embrace? Damn, make it sound romantic why don't you." I practically snort with laughter. My turning wasn't anything like the way that sounded.

Kaelyn shrieked and smacked at his arm "Ouch!"

Doc grinned, and ignored Chubchub, and clarified, "Except Skylar and Ric, .. Skylar is a niece.. and Ric's her husband.

Kaelyn kicked him in the shin then leaned against him

Skylar "I am not calling you Uncle Charlie. That just sounds all kinds of wrong to me."

Kaelyn I call him Papi Charlie!

"--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--"
vadablade nodded to Doc and looked at Skylar. "When one can not lie, bathing romance with facts helps. Besides I saw an angel when I was turned." He smiled to Doc and then bowed slightly to this chubchub. "I have met Skylar, she is rather beautiful and Ric is rather sexy in a manly way." He liked the fact he could speak his mind.

Cathy Dawn peaks out from behind Doc and looks at everyone her hands starting to tremble.

Dominique lips twitched lightly. She was pretty sure that is not how Doc would refer to it. She looked to Leona

Doc "And for that I am immensely glad." and then to Chubchub, "**** you." His tone was teasing. Then Doc heard Ric described as sexy in a manly way. "For the Record.. Vee here.. is dating my adopted Klara..."

Kaelyn pushed a kiss to Doc's cheek. Yupp. She was going to adorn him in affection and he'd just have to get over it.

Roderic "I think you need to get your eyes checked, man." I chuckle

Pi dArtois Chubchub. Pi sighed on the inside. More nicknames and she wondered if she'd somewhere missed an introduction that told her the young woman's real name. And she was young. Too young if Pi was any judge of age at all. Whoever turned the young thing had doomed the girl to be locked at an age of perpetual youth. When Charles starting calling Sky his niece Pi's brow puckered. Is that what she was doing wrong? Should she actually look at each of these people and label them as daughter, father, mother cousin and Tante. Was that what built relationships. At her frown she looked at Sky and wondered if she thought of the woman as a daughter? Not really. Maybe six years separated her life experience from the other and she in no way felt maternal about her. With a sigh she let the thought ruminate and turned to Cathy. "Do you have a place to stay in the city Cathy?” She asked, wondering at how she could dispose of the whole two floors of apartments she now owned.

Skylar I giggle. Ric is sexy but it's funny hearing Vada call him that. Now I do look to Ric to see what he's thinking. "He's so modest. I think he's sexy as all hell but I may be a tad bias"

Kaelyn had actually died recently and taken over a new body, so looked more like 18 or 19 rather than 16

Doc made a face, "Stop it.. no kissing. We had this discussion." He tried to disengage from Chubchub, and looked for Dawnie, Minx and Leo. Dawnie was closest, so he maneuvered Dawnie between him and Chub.

vadablade watched the room and smiled as he listened to everyone. "Ric would be sexy in a mankini." Yep the image would be placed out for all to picture, sometimes he needed to bite his tongue as he chuckled.

Kaelyn kept tucked in against him, finger still curled around a belt loop. He wasn't getting rid of her tonight "I do what I want."

Roderic "What's a mankini?" stared at Skylar

Cathy Dawn nods "I have been messing up Dad's Bed in room 203 other than that there is the back room of the Diner." She eeps as she is moved and quickly gets back behind Doc. "No no out from behind you Dad."

Skylar I practically choke on my laughter at that image. "Even I wouldn't say that." Ric asks what it is and I have to hold my hand up to him, cos I need a moment. "Its a bikini for a man and its gross. I'll show you." I grab out my phone and search the net for a picture. "See?"

Roderic I look and then grin towards Doc. "seems more his style."

Doc counted. Be nice. He promised. He ignored Chub, as Dawn dove back to the back again. He lowered his voice and spoke to Dawnie, "No reason to be scared. Just relax. You dont have to do anythign you dont want." Thankfully missing Ric's comment.

Skylar I already hurt from laughing and then Ric throws that out there. I grip my stomach and try to calm myself down.

Dominique felt like she was ran over by a street cleaner before she stepped inside and just finally figured it out. This would not be text tag later. There was going to be a fireside chat outdoors. Her dark eyes found him.

Pi dArtois Pi took the lull in conversation directly related to her to discretely observe the others in the room. It struck her as interesting that Doc had only sired women, surrounding himself with a bevy of femininity. There wasn't a man here connected to him, all of them women, all of them seemingly inclined to call him father or Dad or Papi. There was something there she thought. Probably has rich a story as the one that explained why she only sired men, and her disinclination to sire females. A mother issue, an abandonment one. When Cathy answered, it pulled Pi away from her thoughts, morbid though they were and she smiled widely. "Well, there are other apartments if you'd like one of your own. The benefits of owning something like this is having a whole floor that we can use as a family. If you'd like.”

Doc is sorta a loss, but is willing to go with whatever, "I .. guess?" He offered as he looked about questioningly

Cathy Dawn nods to Pi "I would like that then I would not be messing up Dad's Bed"

Kaelyn Papi...can Esperanza come? Did you adopt her too?

Kaelyn I mess up his bed all the time, Cathy...I make him sleep with me! It's comfy

vadablade smirked showing a row of rather sharp teeth, his mind slightly slipping as he fought for control as I place my hand over my mouth. This newest power is fun, but the control was the hardest. His anger, his rage and now a beast? He truly felt he was doomed to meditation for the rest of time. He looked at Pi and smiled as he felt a little calmer just by seeing her

Pi dArtois "I'm sure he doesn't mind. But I think it's nice having a bed of your own sometimes.” Pi answered, "Then you have two to choose from."

Dominique deadpans. She hardly had socialized but they got together for sleep overs?

Roderic blinked.

Kaelyn had lots and lots of sleepovers. Typically a couple a week with Papi at least

Doc caught Dominique's look and lifted an eyebrow in question, before catching Chub's comment. "Its not comfy for me.. you ******* kick.. " He sighed in exasperation. "And you shot me..."

Skylar "Seems to be what sires do. Offering you a place to stay and all that. I used to crash at one of Elliot's places. Then I met Ric."

Roderic didn't know how Doc put up with so many women at one time. It made my head hurt just thinking about it.

Kaelyn You were fighting and yelling and it got me all worked up and I didn't mean to...

Dominique shrugged at that last part. She didn't blame Kaelyn.

Kaelyn Plus, you helped kill me....so you deserved it.

Roderic "And she just moved in." I mutter.

Doc "And who ESperwhatever?"

Dominique eyes went wide.

Kaelyn She's Victor's other childe thing

Roderic "Girl things everywhere."

Skylar "You weren't using your bed. You said I could have it."

Cathy Dawn listens to Pi "What are they?" She hears her sire and laughs "Dad if she kick then move. Oh I got a cool gun the other day a lady named Mortll got it for me it is named Fajita"

Dominique wondered where the hell her sister was.

Skylar "Hey! I'm pretty damn tidy... now."

Roderic gives her a 'really?' look.

Kaelyn Mortll is nice...she's the one hosting the pool party for me

Doc nodded with Ric, "The ball and chain.. puts ******* flowers everywhere!" he pressed his lips together grimly, "Photos of flowers, pictures of flowers.. opened a drawer.. it was lined in paper covered in flowers..."

Skylar "I am" I poke my tongue out at Ric

Kaelyn Like my dress? It's covered in flowers..

Roderic "You're better." I agree.

Doc “Ball and Chain pick that out? I wouldnt put it past her... “

Kaelyn Nope!

Kaelyn But if you recall, you picked out a very flowery swim suit for me

Dominique whispers again to the one she is holding tightly in her hand. "Say something."

Skylar I grin at him. "And I didn't cover the apartment in useless **** like pics of flowers."

Cathy Dawn I have a dress with flowers on it it is RETRO

Leona leaned in and nudged her shoulder against Dominique's. "Hm? Sorry.. "

Pi dArtois When in social situations the only thing a person has to go on are personal experiences. What they know of themselves and how they act around at one another. For Pi these drift and ebb of conversation wasn't always easy to follow. She was a slow deliberator, an observer that needed to consider her words before jumping into the verbal fray and letting loose. Looking sideways she catches the yellow glint in Vada's eyes and her hand moves, capturing his at his wrist, her thumb running over the missing pulse in the veins there. "Calm."She adds, sotte voce." Already the machine gun conversation has passed her by, repartee and verbals jabs coming in from other directions, flowing around them both, creating an oasis of diverted attention away from her and Vada. Until Cathy answered and pulled Pi's attention away, her hand dropping easily from Vada's but she wasn't sure if Cathy's question was directed at her so she smiled at the woman, and moved her gaze to the others in the room.

Roderic "I would have burned the whole building to the ground if you did." My tone indicates I'm dead serious.

Doc "I take you shopping.. and this is how you pay me back?" a sigh.

Skylar "Good to know."

Sanctuary 04/07/2015 18:05:06 Dominique does a double take at what Leona says. "For?"

Kaelyn You take me shopping then ditch me after telling me I'm contaminated and don't want to sleep with me anymore >.> You weren't being very nice

Cathy Dawn looks back at Pi "What rooms?”

Kaelyn You came back though and made up. So it's ok and I still love you!

Leona gave Dominique's hand a reassuring little squeeze. "Being so quiet."

Pi dArtois "Oh," Pi lamely answered, her expression apologetic. "Je suis desolete. The conversation made me lose my thread. Anything on the second floor, if you'd like."

Kaelyn ok have to run Just pretend Kae is standing there, clinging to Doc all timid and cute like as usual >.>))

Roderic hears a lot of things going on. Things I don't care about. I step back a little and bring Skylar with me.

Dominique heard those three words and looked to Leona. Kaelyn's profession and Leona's apology that wasn't needed. "Don't be sorry...ever."

Doc sighed again and Gestured to Dom and Leo.. and then he stopped. They, those two .. look far too chummy. Doc drags Chub with him as he moves over to the two them. "Minx.. Leo.. this is Chub.. " 

Skylar I don't usually go in for PDA but well... Ric promised me a weekend of entertainment, kinda, so I wrap my arms around his neck. "You okay babe?"  

vadablade smiled softly at Pi's touch, in the simplest of gestures he finds himself lost in his love for his sire. It was an odd feeling as if she was his world, but on a different level then others. He fought to change his eyes but gave up as it seemed they wanted to stay golden yellow. 

Dominique felt the hair at the back of her neck rise as he approached. Eyes her sisters husbands childe. "Or Kaelyn?" 

Cathy Dawn eeps as her cover moves and gets behind Pi. "Um you can pick. I am going to be putting 50's stuff and civil war stuff in it well what 50's stuff is not in the Diner." 

Pi dArtois "That's just fine Cathy. The apartment comes decorated but you can change anything you'd like .... they're ours to do with as we please. I'll send Michael over with a key." 

Cathy Dawn "Thank you Pi" 

Doc "Yes.. Or Kaelyn.. She prefers Chubchub." he lied evenly, daring her to refute him. 

Cathy Dawn yells at Doc "Dad she likes Kae or Lyn." Goes back to hiding behind Pi.

Leona gave Kaelyn a little wave. They'd met before at The Handle Bar quite awhile ago but Leona still remembered. "Hello Kaelyn." 

Dominique felt the energy stirring beneath her skin. Her eyes drifting over the faces closest to them then up to Doc's face. "Forget to tell me something?" 

Doc "Forget? No. Am I slow as ******* molasses in winter.. Yes." He paused, "Minx.. this is Leo. Leo,.. Minx. Although I get the impression you two know each other already." 

Pi dArtois Pi could almost feel Vada's stare, boring into her until she had no choice but to turn and look at the man she had sired. He had fought with the gang who had wanted to kill him, the odds against the life of one man and so many. She had seen in him then a sense of brave loyalty and stamina, the sort of man you would want at your back always. As a woman who had lived in the military she knew that was a trait you cultivated and nurtured. His eyes were still yellow, and she knew they would probably stay that way, like hers did in the early days of her finding her … power. With slow will Pi let her feelings bleed into her own eyes, turning the normal blue into something darker, topaz, with the flecks of darker brown enveloping the whole iris. She smiled as she showed him in her way, that he wasn't alone. "It will be okay.â€� She said softly, letting her blue bleed back in, showing him how control… and time could help him wrestle his beast. Reaching an absent hand behind her, she lays it softly on the hip of the woman sheltering behind her, patting it once. 

Roderic whispers quietly to her. "I don't know why we're here. I don't understand this event." I admit. "I don't do sleep overs, or dinner, or shopping, or need a place to stay." I shrug. 

Pi dArtois "I've told Michael to bring your key down now, while you're here Cathy. He'll be here soon." 

Cathy Dawn nods trembling a bit as she continues to hide behind Pi "Thank you." 

Dominique looks to Leona then back to him. "You busy later?" It really didn't matter. She smiled slowly as if it took a lot to make the edges of her lips pull to where they went. 

Skylar I whisper back. "We're meeting Doc's things."  

vadablade smiled at Pi as he saw her eyes, one day he would have that type of control. He looked around and then opened his mouth, only to shut it and think. "So we are all family, and we all have the nights embrace and can be trusted right?" 

Doc "Not necessarily I can rearrange things. Do I need to rearrange things?" He looked from Minx to Leo back to Minx. She looked far to tense. What was he missing? 

Cathy Dawn looks out from behind Pi to Doc and the others he is talking to. 

Dominique "Would be helpful, yes." Her fingers went tighter around Leona's. "Would really like to catch up with you."

Pi dArtois She was a nurturer, in her own way. Not overt like she saw with Charles, but she felt a responsibility all the same. She wasn't one to force emotion on people (or herself for that matter) but she worked behind the scenes. She didn't' organise parties, but she would be there if someone needed her. She wasn't one to show overt personal affection in public (not even with Elliot) but she was known to touch lightly, a fingertip brushing along a wrist, small pressure on a person's arm. Not brashy, because she was a woman who understood and cherish moderation. In her mind she spoke to Michael, giving him the instructions for Cathy's key and dropped her hand from the awkward position and faced the room, her head tilted to the side to talk to the woman. "The people here are just like you I think you should stop hiding now and come out and stand beside me, rather than behind me hrmmm."

Cathy Dawn nods softly and looks around "Just to many people." (She has sensory overload)

Leona looked between Mini and Doc; what had he forgotten? It seemed someone always wanted to beat Doc. Even just looking at him kinda made Leona want to hit him with her mace again. Leona gave Mini's hand a little squeeze in response.

Doc nodded, "Alright. We will 'catch up' later then." He looked at Leo, "And you Leo.. are you alright?" His tone was even.

vadablade slowly moved through the group as he put his bag down and dug out the oak sapling. He put it on the desk and spun around as he faced the room. He felt calmer with his siress in the room and the oak near him. His golden eyes blinking as he watched Doc.

Dominique was absolutely stunned as she continued to secure Leona's cool hand in hers. How did she miss this? She felt it all now but she was blown away. He was the one.

Pi dArtois "I understand." Pi answered Cathy. "I'm not happy in crowds either, many more than this and I'd be trying to escape." The human walked into the Sanctuary, his swagger that of a bigger man, or maybe the swagger was exactly in proportion of the mans ego. Michael was not the sort of person she'd have picked for her thrall, but at the time she had done it as a favour, a way to control a situation that no one wanted to get out of hand. As he walked in Michael spied both Doc and Dominique and the leer rose and Pi sighed, forgetting in her haste to get Cathy her key, the nature under which Michael was brought over. With a saunter Michael purposely made a beeline for Doc, passed him and then came directly to Pi, giving her the key. She'd hoped that would be the end but wasn't surprised when the red haired doctor came back the way he came and slung an arm over Doc's shoulder. "Hello old friend.” Michael said, his breath probably carrying a healthy whiff of barbiturates and alcohol.

Doc was looking at Leo, waiting for her to answer him. But she seemed to want to stay mute. "Is this silent treatment because I sent you to the SR? You broke the masquerade. I will not apologize for that. But I understand if you prefer I leave you alone." The words were barely out of his mouth as Porter came over. "Porter." Doc's tone less than welcoming. The he slid a look at Minx, and slowly smiled, "You remember Dominique, don't you Porter.. "

Dominique her eyes widened and she let go of Leona's hand instinctively ready to grab that blade so close to where her hand was moving.

Pi dArtois "Michael." Pi said softly in her voice an undercurrent of warning. Not that the man listened to her often. He had to be the worst thrall ever, drunk most of the time, high as a kite the rest. He only did as he was asked when she used compulsion and the rest of the time he pretended she didn't exist, unless he needed money. He was expensive and annoying, but sometimes endearingly so. But not tonight, tonight she thought she might need to drag him out of the room and lock him in a dungeon somewhere to keep his *** from getting into trouble. And when Pi saw him leer at Dominique Pi knew that she should probably intervene sooner rather than later, with a small "Vada, can you please stay with Cathy." She said quickly, and move to where her thrall stood, grabbing his arm in a hold stopping whatever words were going to come out of his open mouth. "Go upstairs Michael." She whispered, using every power of compulsion she had in those few words. "Please." She finished, that please morphed into an order he couldn't refuse.

Cathy Dawn squeaks and looks at the Man beside her running a hand though her blond hair tinged with pink.

vadablade watched the crowd as he began to sing to himself. "I'm hurting baby, I'm broken down." He slowly spun around dancing by himself as he took in the entire room. His hands swaying around his waist as he walked towards Cathy and smiled softly. "My name is commonly vada around here." He smiled sweetly to the woman.

Dominique felt the air around her disappear as if she too could be pulled into the same swallowing effect of whatever unseen force was present. Where the hell had she been that she was just catching on to this? Her jaw was so tight her teeth hurt.

Doc threw Pi a look. "aw.. it was just about to get fun.. " He was unashamedly amused.

Dominique glared. "at who's expense?"

Sanctuary 04/07/2015 18:34:56 Cathy Dawn smiles "Cathy. Or Cathy Dawn which ever you prefer." Yah she was scared but she would talk.

vadablade offered her his hand, palm out with his fingers stretched to the sky. "Hello Cathy Dawn. I welcome you." His eyes showing the golden yellow of his lion as he smiled.

Pi dArtois She wondered at the expression on Dominique's face and the undercurrent she felt was brewing. But she couldn't be sure whether it was Michael or something else, but at least she could do something about the former. Charles had told her some part of what was happening when she had agreed to turn Michael into her thrall. A way to control a man who knew too much, a way to eliminate him as a threat without casting suspicion on the actions of her dodgy physician childe. She'd agreed, readily. Agreed because she was trying to mend the bridge they'd both broken with one another. She watched as the normally animated red head slumped his shoulders, a will beyond his own controlling his actions. She nodded as she saw him disappear into the portal and down to the lower floors of the building where their safe house resided. Turning a smoldering glance to Charles she shook her head. "Trouble-maker.” She then switched her attention to the two women she hadn't had a chance to talk to much yet. "Are you both okay?” Pi asked.

Leona reached for Dominique's hand again. "Stop." She didn't want the two of them to fight here. She turned her attention to Doc. "I understand I broke the rules, it's fine. I'm glad I could fight you over it, and not someone else."

Roderic "Oh. Okay." I just nod at what Skylar said.

Doc gave Pi a look, he was a troublemaker!? What did he do? He was being nice. Pleasant. ******* pleasant thank you very much. He had been ******* magnanimous. Then Leo finally spoke, he gave her a look of pride, she knew, understood and accepted. "Thank you Leo." Then gave Pi another look. A smug one.

Cathy Dawn looks around "Did you know Dad never saw Forever Knight."

Dominique looked to Pi and inhaled deeply what was not needed deciding that she had learned one thing last time with another group she underestimated. Kenlie's voice was lingering beneath Leona's as she heard the warning to think twice. "Yes."

Roderic cringed. How could Doc want to be called dad? No one would ever call me dad. I would stab them. No, I'd kill them.

vadablade watched the woman and took his hand back, not many knew the druidic ways now days. He looked around as he seemed to of been dismissed.

Pi dArtois Pi might not like crowds but she wasn't an idiot. There were topics of conversation that she thought should be avoided, like politics and religion. And this topic, neared the political arena. A fuzzy area where family and faction rubbed like tectonic plates, causing a rupture in the earth crust and erupting to the surface with volcanic results. She caught Charles' smug look and met it with a blank one of her own. There was too much water under this bridge. The idea that the masquerade required ultimate sacrifices was an old argument and not one she wholly disagreed with in principle. But one she found herself diametrically opposed to on a practical one. She straddle the tectonic plates and found her position there precarious at best. "It's good to hear.” Pi answered Dominique her smile finding her lips and stretching them upwards as she purposely avoided the current topic completely. "I am glad to finally meet you. It has been… a long time in coming I think.”

Skylar I zone out with my arms around Ric and have to pull myself away from him so I can concentrate on what's going on around us. I stay close, but not cos I need him. He's a flight risk and I don't want him leaving without me.

Doc decided to subside into silence. And Doc preferred to be called Doc. Some of his spawns were stubborn. It was a battle he chose not to fight at this precise time. He had a long memory. Eventually it would sort itself out.

Sanctuary 04/07/2015 18:45:56 Dominique nodded slowly. "It has, yes." there was no sign of him. He had disappeared but he left so much behind in his wake. Her eyes gravitated slightly to Doc then back to Pi. "It has been worth the wait."

Pi dArtois It had been a long time since Pi had stood next to Charles without any hint of awkwardness. It wasn't until Dominique looked between them that she realised she was doing it right now. Moving around in a room and talking to him as if there hadn't been a history she was clumsily tip toeing around in order to avoid the same awkwardness she cultivated by tip toeing at all. And it made her smile. "I think so too.” Pi replied, her gaze moving from one woman to the next. "I… I would like to meet people more often but I'm not as easy to pull out of my routine as many are. I am glad we have finally met.”

Leona was determined to beat Doc next time they fought and she knew there would certainly be a next time. The thought of smashing his skull with her mace was enough to bring a smile to her lips. Next time! Leona turned to study the woman Dominique was speaking with.

Doc turned to face the majority of the group. "I want to thank you all for coming in order to meet the Spawns. I really appreciate it."

Roderic didn't know what to say. It was awkward. Yes, awkward. I felt awkward. Skylar and I were here, but everyone was talking about things we didn't have a clue about. Was our wedding like this? I look at Skylar's hands and grin at my handy work.

Dominique couldn't really blame anyone in the room anymore than herself. She came to that conclusion far before she ever stepped into the presence of the one who Doc had mentioned on that unplanned trip he took her on.Perhaps none of what brought her to where she stood was completely planned but the fact they were there spoke volumes on the consequences of not taking the time to do so or not picking your battles wisely. She was certainly guilty of the latter as she looked to Doc again briefly then back to his sire. "As am I.”
