Sonja Kabari: Well it is summer.
And contrary to popular myth, she does not live in her lab coat.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Hey, Babe!" She
chuckles, stepping forward and giving Angelia a tight hug. She, for her part,
well...she has a look. That look? It doesn't change often. So yeah, she's
wearing a duster in 84 degree weather, though the tank-top and jeans underneath
at least fit the warm weather style. "Missed you too! S'up?"
Angelia Caponelli: She returns the hug
tightly and even dots Reyna's cheek with a kiss. "Sonja's here. I hope that's
okay for you."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Sounds
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi to me." She grins. "I think that means yes...I'll let ya know."
Sonja Kabari: In fact, she's still standing
in the foyer.
Angelia Caponelli: She shakes her head and
looks back to Sonja, "Anyone else drinking tonight? I need drinks."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Alcohol is my
frieeend." She nods. "Sounds peachy to me." A smile and nod to Sonja. "S'up,
Doc?"
Sonja Kabari: "I don't suppose you have the
makings for a marguerita?"
Sonja Kabari: "Oh, just the standard,
poking, prodding and vivisecting. How has your week been?"
Angelia Caponelli: "I know how to make
them yes and we have everything here." She leads them through to where ever the
bar is. And there must be one cause Trevor would never ever own a house with out
a fully stocked bar in it.
Sonja Kabari: Strolls after Ang.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((The alcohol is
actually in a cabinet in the kitchen.)) She follows along, chuckling to Sonja.
"Eventful. Full of violence, hospitals, vampires, and other such wackiness."
Angelia Caponelli: (to the kitchen then!)
She pulls down tequilla for Reyna, and starts fixing a margarita for Sonja, "Are
you alright Reyna, after all that?"
Sonja Kabari: "Vampires you say? I don't
suppose you could collect a sample for me next time you encounter one? A finger,
tooth, vial of blood, entire corpse maybe?" Smiling sweetly as she inquires.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A chuckle goes to
the good Doctor. "Tell you what, Sonja. Next vampire I beat to hell with a chair
and ram a pallet through, I'll be sure to get something for ya." She winks to
the woman.
Sonja Kabari: "I would be grateful, thank
you." Apparently she's serious.
Angelia Caponelli: She glances over to
Sonja and hands her her drink, "Actually you might be able to help us with a
particular pain in the ass vampire. But we can worry about that later."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: The grin fades,
only a little. "I'm guessing I know which one you mean. All over that shit."
Sonja Kabari: Accepts the drink. "Thank you.
I would like to have an intact specimen, if the opportunity arose to procure
one."
Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Reyna and
starts making a rum and coke for herself. "Well Sonja you know... ah it's too
bad it's a neutral matter."
Sonja Kabari: "And this affects me how?"
Angelia Caponelli: She shakes her head, "I
was going to suggest your people just nab the asshole but we have to do it cause
it's a neutral matter." Her nose crinkles.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Because you're not
a Neutral Party, hon." She pours herself a tall glass of tequila, and recaps the
bottle, taking a lean against the kitchen island. "S'our job to take care of
it."
Sonja Kabari: "Just the two of you?"
Angelia Caponelli: She shakes her head
and sips her drink, "Naw there's others." She shrugs a bit and looks over them.
"We're suposed to be doing bonding stuff though, not talking shop."
Sonja Kabari: "What exactly would you
consider bonding stuff?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Bonding?" She
grins. "Should I go start the drum circle?"
Angelia Caponelli: "To be honest I'm not
sure. Like my people, we'd go out and kill something together."
Sonja Kabari: "Drum circle?"
Sonja Kabari: "Oh... killing things and
beating drums... how...ummm... quaint." Obviously struggling to sound positive.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "My people don't
bond. Hell, we only see each other once a year...ah, shit, that reminds me.
Gotta mark my calender for September this year. Christ, I hope they don't pick
L.A. again."
Angelia Caponelli: "I'm told normal girls
play cards, watch movies and do eachothers hair... what do you like to do
Sonja?"
Sonja Kabari: "Your people? You're not
umm..." Gesturing between the other two women.
Sonja Kabari: (between Ang and Rey, slaps
myself for bad wording)
Angelia Caponelli: She shakes her head at
Sonja, "No Reyna's not the same as me and Trevor. When he said that he had very
racially diverse mates he meant it."
Sonja Kabari: Looks Reyna up and down.
"Species?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "I'm the original
coyote girl, hon. Well, not the original hon, she's probably not around anymore,
but...you know."
Angelia Caponelli: Ang pulls herself up to
sit on the counter while she drinks.
Sonja Kabari: "Canis latrans sapiens.
Interesting. Are there just.. were-everything out there? Lions and tigers and
bears oh my?"
Angelia Caponelli: "Lions and tigers and
bears yes... no ginea pigs to the best of my knowledge."
Sonja Kabari: "That's a relief. It would
make lab work difficult if your guinnea pigs shifted into monsters and tried to
kill you. Let's hope there aren't any rats either." *c*
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: The grin spreads
further over her face, and she just chuckles, sipping at her tequila.
Angelia Caponelli: She shrugs a bit and
takes another drink herself, "So Sonja, what do you like to do?"
Sonja Kabari: Sips the marguerita, and tries
to think of bonding activities. A group dissection? They probably wouldn't go
for it. Fast math? Solve the equation? They are not touching her hair. It's just
the way she likes it.
Sonja Kabari: "I spend most of my time doing
research."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Well, y'all know
me. I'm a party girl. I'm game for anything that doesn't involve a science
teacher and goggles. Well, maybe goggles, and if the science teacher is Antonio
Banderas, sure, but..."
Angelia Caponelli: She frowns a bit, "Come
on Sonja, are we going to have to go on another trip to the dungeon... Reyna
doesn't like that stuff much. You must have some fun stuff you do."
Sonja Kabari: "I write programs for fun,
sometimes. And study encryption algorithms." Her eyes flickering between them
for some sign of interest, not that she expects to find any. She's a true nerd.
Angelia Caponelli: She nods, "I used to
talk to spirits in computers... but that was more work then fun."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "I am completely
computer illiterate. believe it or not, I actually did use the little tray where
the CD goes as a drink holder, once."
Sonja Kabari: "I haven't had the pleasure of
meeting any computer spirits. Transdimensional entities are not my specialty I'm
afraid."
Angelia Caponelli: "That's my specialty.
You're more into biological manipulation then? Reyna's specialty is trouble."
Sonja Kabari: Blinks at Reyna as though she
just said something blasphemous. She did what to a cd player?
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Hey, hey, hey.
I'll have you know, my specialty is mischief, not trouble. There is a
difference...mischief is on purpose. Trouble is accidential."
Angelia Caponelli: She inclines her head
to Reyna, acknowlegding her point.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Oh, and my
secondary specialty, spouting off pop culture references at opportune moments.
It has more use then you might think." She gives a knowing nod to that.
Sonja Kabari: "Yes, I'm a gene engineer."
Her dark eyes glide to Reyna, brows elevating. "Deliberate trouble?"
Angelia Caponelli: She winks at Reyna,
"Very good for communicating around sheltered technocrats." She says playfully
before she hops down off the counter.
Sonja Kabari: Arches a brow as Ang refers to
her as sheltered.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods to Sonja,
grinning. "Damn skippy. I make things...interesting." She says 'interesting' in
a way that has more emotions then one would expect behind such a mundane word.
"Mischief has quite diverse applications, after all."
Sonja Kabari: "I can't really say I've
ever had much use for strong emotions. I find them, inconvenient at best."
Angelia Caponelli: She looks back to
Sonja, "Do we leave it to the coyote to decide what to do or shall we choose our
own poison for the evening?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks from Ang
to Sonja, eyes traveling up to observe the Technocrat's hair, considering, as if
it's in response to Angelia suggesting Reyna decide what they do.
Sonja Kabari: "Since the coyote is the
expert in mischief, I think letting her take the lead is an excellent
suggestion."
Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Sonja and
looks upt at Reyna expectantly, "We're at your mercy." She says with a wink.
Sonja Kabari: Her hair is neatly woven into
hundreds of fine and precise braids, which themselves are woven into a thick
tail that hangs down her back. Stylish, yet practical.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She gets a playful
look in her eyes...that slightly scary look that means she's thinking on a
mischief level. "Hmmm...what to do, what to do..." She raises a brow,
considering lightly. "Alcohol must be involved...bonding is the goal...getting
to know each other a little better..."
Angelia Caponelli: She grins a bit and
looks over the bottles, "I agree."
Sonja Kabari: Sips her drink, eyes on Reyna.
As the only non-shifter in the pride, she's the odd one.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "You know what?
I've been itching to play a game of cards, ever since I beat Little Trevor in
the mindscape. Y'all know how to play some good card drinking games?"
Sonja Kabari: "I can't say I'm an expert,
but poker might be fun."
Troo: ooc: can play fora little while but posts will be
slowand have typos
Angelia Caponelli: (*hugs!*)
Troo: OOC: am on the IPAQ
Angelia Caponelli: (brb phone)
Sonja Kabari: ((That must be fun to type on.
*c*))
Karlos Basoalto: ooc: Handwriting recognition
Angelia Caponelli: (back - ipaq?)
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Oooh!" She smacks
her head. "Even better...an alcoholic game that doesn't require me to get get my
marked deck!" She grins...surely the woman who's never lose a game of strip
poker she didn't purposely throw was joking, riiight? "Y'all familiar with 'I
Never?' Hell, we could even play it while the cards go flyin'."
Sonja Kabari: Oooh, nice.
Angelia Caponelli: (ahhh)
Karlos Basoalto: He arrives at the house, closing the door
and calling ''Anyone home?"
Sonja Kabari: "I'm afraid not. What is it,
something like truth or dare?"
Sonja Kabari: ((That ooooh nice was ooc,
regarding the ipaq))
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Hey, Karlos! In
the kitchen."
Angelia Caponelli: She grins at Reyna and
grabs her bottle, "Well lets go get comfy in the library?"
Angelia Caponelli: She sticks her head out
of the kitchen, "In here!"
Karlos Basoalto: He wanders through to the kitchen and
offers the ladies a polite smile
Sonja Kabari: Nods. "Good evening Mr.
Basoalto."
Angelia Caponelli: They're all hanging out
in the kitchen. Various alcohol bottles on the counter. "Wanna hang out with us
a bit Karlos. We're gonna play 'I never'."
Karlos Basoalto: He nods to Sonja, then blinks at Ang.
''What's that?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Sorta, Sonja." She
grabs the tequila bottle and grins to Karlos. "Hey, there, sexy. What's shakin'?"
She's in full-on mischevious coyote mode at the moment, and she moves to Karlos,
to give him a hug. "How YOU doin'." Emphasis courtesy of Joey Tribiani, a la
Friends.
Angelia Caponelli: "It's a drinking game.
Some one says something like 'I never had sex on the beach' and if you've done
it you have to take a drink. Naturally I anticipate there will be a lot of
drinking."
Karlos Basoalto: He gives Reyna a Chaste hug, and murmurs
"I don't think that would be particularly wise."
Angelia Caponelli: "The drinking or the
game. Nothing horribly incriminating right Reyna?"
Sonja Kabari: Sips her drink and watches
Karlos and coyote-woman interact.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Naah, we'd make it
nice and safe. The point of the game is to get to know each other and get sloppy
drunk, not bring up bad shit." She smiles at Karlos, nodding understandably.
"You can always just watch us girls make idiots of ourselves."
Karlos Basoalto: "Getting drunk with Trevor's women."
Angelia Caponelli: She bumps Sonja's
shoulder lightly with her own, "Come on, grab your poison girls lets go get some
where were we don't all have to stand."
Angelia Caponelli: She smirks over at
Karlos, "Ah I see your thinking. Well we promise we won't seduce you and you
promise not to use your mojo on us and we'll all be good. Right?"
Karlos Basoalto: "I'm afraid my mojo is so powerful I
can't control it." He grins, and wiggles his eyebrows.
Angelia Caponelli: "Infact you can be
our... DD sort of person. You stay sober and hold onto Sonja and Reyna's keys
and don't give them back till they're sober."
Sonja Kabari: Arches a brow at Karlos.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Hey! I'll have you
know I'm perfectly capable of driving under the influence. I once drove out of
Seattle on peyote, pot, and tequila, with a full pack of pissed of Furballs
howling after me." Of course, she's saying this as she divests herself of keys,
dropping them on the table. "Only did a couple grand worth of damage to the
Bitchmobile, too."
Karlos Basoalto: He nods at Ang. "Ok. Gimme the keys."
Angelia Caponelli: She just gives Reyna a
look and goes to get her own purse and tosses her keys to Karlos. Not that she's
planning on going any where."
Sonja Kabari: Looks a little hesitant, but
slowly hands over her keys.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She shrugs with a
grin to Ang.
Karlos Basoalto: Pockets any and all keys that are offered
then follows the ladies to the library.
Angelia Caponelli: She nods a bit to
Sonja, "It's all good. He'll give 'em back in the morning. Right Karlos?"
Karlos Basoalto: "If you're all good."
Sonja Kabari: Out of all of them, she really
would like most to have Karlos in her laboratory for an examination. Karlos>
"Would you mind if I scanned you?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She brings her
bottle and glass along, grinning a little to Angelia. "You know, you'd be
surprised how pissed off Get can get when you tell them that Fenris gets his ass
kicked during Ragnarock..."
Angelia Caponelli: She wanders to the
library with her bottle, "Sonja, we're not doing business tonight."
Karlos Basoalto: "Yes, doctor, I would. No matter how many
times you ask."
Sonja Kabari: "Curiosity is not business."
Heading into the library.
Angelia Caponelli: She glances over at
Reyna and shakes her head, flopping down onto one of the couches. "Int your line
of business it is Sonja."
Sonja Kabari: "It's a normal, healthy
interest. Nothing more."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She drops into a
seat herself, taking another sip of Tequila-y goodness.
Karlos Basoalto: "There's nothing wrong with curiosity."
He too takes a seat.
Sonja Kabari: Settles into a chair,
marguerita in hand.
Karlos Basoalto: ooc: battery getting low. If I vanish,
ive gone to get the laptop.
Angelia Caponelli: She streaches out,
using Reyna's thigh for a pillow. "Who's starting."
Angelia Caponelli: (kk)
Karlos Basoalto: He frowns a little. He can forsee this
turning into a lesbo threesome, with Trevor decapitating him just for being
there.
Sonja Kabari: Sits in her own chair, not
really the touchy feelie sort, most of the time.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "You start, Babe.
It always takes me a while to think of something good I haven't done." She winks
down to Angelia.
Sonja Kabari: "Does the game involve cards?"
Angelia Caponelli: She smirks a bit, "Nope
you just take a drink when you've done something some one says they never have."
Angelia Caponelli: "Let me think... I've
never.... gone to college. To take courses there at least."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Welcome to the
diploma as maximum education club, hon." She grins. No drinking for her.
Angelia Caponelli: She looks over to Sonja
expectantly.
Sonja Kabari: "Oh, that's so unfair." Laughs
and takes a drink.
Karlos Basoalto: He settles back in his seat
and crosses his legs, lacing his fingers together in his lap.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Okay, okay, okay,
okay. I've got one. And all I have to say to you to is...nyaah." She grins a
little, eyes sparkling. "I've never...operated a computer from start to finish
without accidentally doing something wrong."
Angelia Caponelli: "Your turn Sonja."
Angelia Caponelli: She looks up at Reyna,
"No THAT's no fair." She takes a deep drink.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Whoops, she jumped
the gun. "Sorry, this goes clockwise, way I always played it."
Angelia Caponelli: "No it's fair, Sonja's
turn next. Less Karlos wants to toss one out there." She glances over to Karlos
with a grin.
Sonja Kabari: Rolls her eyes and takes a
sip. "I've never turned into a big hairy monster." Smirks.
Angelia Caponelli: She sticks her tongue
out at Sonja and takes another drink.
Karlos Basoalto: "I don't think it's fair for
me to offer up things I've never done when I'm not drinking." He smiles softly.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She chuckles and
takes a good, long drink of her tequila. "Nice one."
Angelia Caponelli: She shrugs at Karlos,
"You get to just watch us make asses of ourselves then." She considers trying to
think of things she's never done that Sonja and Reyna might have. "I've never...
had sex on a beach."
Karlos Basoalto: "Yes. Yes, I do." He grins
wryly.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Okay, I need a
definition of 'sex on a beach' here."
Karlos Basoalto: "Not the alcoholic kind."
Sonja Kabari: Swirls her drink but doesn't
sip, and looks at Reyna.
Angelia Caponelli: "Nods. Anything that
gets you or some one else off. On a beach."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Okay. 'cause I've
never had the alcoholic kind. Damn fruity things." She takes a drink.
Angelia Caponelli: She chuckles and
glances up at Reyna.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "All right. I've
never...stayed in one city for more then a year since I left the city I was born
in."
Karlos Basoalto: His gaze starts wandering
around the library. Maybe he could read a book.
Sonja Kabari: Sips her drink. Reyna
obviously is good at the game.
Angelia Caponelli: "Sonja?"
Sonja Kabari: "I've never ridden a horse."
Karlos Basoalto: "Shouldn't you all be
drinking a predetermined measure?" he murmurs curiously. "It seems a bit
haphazard to me."
Angelia Caponelli: She thinks carefully
and shakes her head. "Me neither."
Angelia Caponelli: "It's not suposed to be
science it's suposed to be fun."
Karlos Basoalto: He shrugs, not really seeing
the fun in getting drunk himself, and rises to his feet, wandering off quietly
to examine the bookshelves.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She frowns a
little, sticking her tongue out. "This drink is Trevor's fault...he took me to
the corral." A grin, and she drinks.
Sonja Kabari: Shoot a curious glance at
Karlos. That was a very scientific statement. Quite correct too, but then, she
doesn't expect too much from deviants really.
Karlos Basoalto: He tugs a book from the
shelves and pads back to his seat, laying down across it with his knees up, back
propped against the armrest, and flips it open. Using his knees to hold the book
up, he begins reading, leaving the ladies to it.
Angelia Caponelli: "I've never...
exceeded my nessesarily daily caloric intake by more then 25%." She nods. Yeah
for obsessive dieting.
Karlos Basoalto: Oh dear. They're already
getting drunk enough to forget what order they're going in...
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Oh, wait. Sonja
already went. Silly her. "Ummm...what's my Daily Calorie Intake?"
Sonja Kabari: "Excuse me, are you quite sure
you know how to calculate your necessary caloric intake? For instance,
how many calories does it require to change forms?"
Karlos Basoalto: He nods. "I'm with Sonja,"
he murmurs. "Pick a different statement." Smiles faintly.
Sonja Kabari: "I think Ang should have to
take a drink for asking a question, she herself can't answer. Karlos? I believe
you are the referee."
Karlos Basoalto: "Besides, if you're going by
2,000 a day, even a Big Mac will throw you over that 25%. So I'm not convinced
you haven't had a Mounds bar as a child, back when your intake should only have
been a thousand or so..." Grins.
Angelia Caponelli: She looks over at Sonja
and nods, "I trained as a ballerina until I was 16. I'm very well versed in how
to control my diet to maintain this tiny little figure."
Karlos Basoalto: "Still, I think you're
following human dietary facts, and we can't be sure that you don't require more,
since you're a doggy in disguise. That could be why you're a midget..."
Sonja Kabari: "How many calories does it
take to shape shift then?" Oh, the challenge is on.
Angelia Caponelli: She looks over at
Karlos with a faint smile and nods, "Well basically, I"ve never gorged myself on
food. Better?"
Sonja Kabari: "He's quite right. You may
have suffered malnutrition as a child. It does stunt the growth."
Karlos Basoalto: "People with eating
disorders would say a Snickers is gorging, or that a litre of Ben and Jerry's is
normal. That's a subjective question. I think you all should have a drink and
move on to Reyna."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She sighs,
good-naturedly. "Fucking Pot-Induced munchies." She grins and takes a drink.
Angelia Caponelli: She rolls her eyes and
drinks, "Reyna."
Sonja Kabari: Chuckles and drinks too.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "I've never...owned
a weapon I didn't name."
Angelia Caponelli: Down the hatch.
Ang's cheeks are starting to look pretty flushed.
Sonja Kabari: Takes another sip, her drink
is getting pretty low.
Karlos Basoalto: And back to reading his
book.
Sonja Kabari: "What are your weapon's..
names?"
Angelia Caponelli: She lifts her head to
give Sonja a 'look'.
Sonja Kabari: Blinks at Ang. "What? Is that
too personal? More personal than oh, saaay, having sex with the same man?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She pulls out the
Colt Anaconda, setting it on the ground...she's not waving it around or
anything, she's not THAT drunk yet. "That's Harry, my best bud in the world.
Been with me for a long time." The Glock comes out and gets set next to Harry.
"That's Brock. Brock the Glock. He's just shy." She smirks. "I had a chair last
week, named Denty, but he went away."
Sonja Kabari: "You named a chair you used as
a weapon? What have you named your teeth and claws?"
Angelia Caponelli: She shrugs a little,
"Good point I supose." She looks over Reyna's guns and grins a bit. "Hi boys."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Bitey and Slashy.
What else?"
Sonja Kabari: Snaps her fingers. "Thought I
had you there."
Sonja Kabari: Eyes the layout of weapons,
then states her next claim. "I've never killed anyone."
Karlos Basoalto: "Let's not get maudlin. I do
hate morose drunks."
Angelia Caponelli: She giggles a bit.
Angelia Caponelli: She just looks at
Sonja, shrugs and drinks not seeming guilty over this at all.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Never killed any
animals in experiments?" She looks to Sonja, honestly curious. Curiosity is
something the coyote has in spades.
Sonja Kabari: "I was referring to people,
not animals. Yes, I've killed animals."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "All right. When
you say 'anyone'...well, I'll just say that after you've had several full-on
conversations with animals, you tend to think of them as 'someone.'" She shrugs
a little and takes a drink.
Karlos Basoalto: He closes his book gently
and rises, wandering away to return it to the shelf.
Angelia Caponelli: She nods a bit, "I had
a few friends who were animals."
Sonja Kabari: "I suppose your species does
cloud the issue. By people, I mean sentient and self aware."
Angelia Caponelli: "A lot of animals are
senient and self aware."
Sonja Kabari: "Example?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Two-legged
mammals. Animals are sentiant and self-aware." That should settle the issue.
"Babe, you're up."
Angelia Caponelli: She pushs herself up to
sit and sort of sways a little, "And you're digging for information again. My
turn. Hmmm I've never... been to a bondage club." She winks at Sonja.
Sonja Kabari: "The point is to get to
know one another." Rolls her eyes and tosses back the last of her marguerita. "I
think I'm going to need another."
Karlos Basoalto: "If there's any left in the
bottle after Reyna's, been at it," he murmurs absently.
Angelia Caponelli: "Well you tell us
something about yourself." She gets up slowly and leans over to fill Sonja's
glass with her rum.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Hey, I'm just
doing my second refill now, Karlos. I so own you all at this game." A smirk.
Karlos Basoalto: "Now now, Angel. Stick with
the game, or end the game."
Sonja Kabari: Oh, great. Rum on top of a
marguerita. They want to see her vomit, don't they?
Angelia Caponelli: "It's Reyna's turn."
She grins over at Karlos.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks between
Sonja and Angelia, considering for a moment, smile playing on her lips. "I've
never driven a boat before."
Sonja Kabari: "I could have made that claim
before I met Trevor." Sips.
Angelia Caponelli: Takes another drink and
decides to sit with Sonja for a while instead of walking back. She slides down
to sit on the floor and lean against Sonja's legs.
Karlos Basoalto:
9,4,9,5,9,
Karlos Basoalto: He slinks into the shadows
in the corner of the room, black clothes helping him out, and simply observes.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "I could have
claimed I'd never ridden a horse before I met Trevor, and then rode one
phyiscally, and in his mind. So nyah." She winks to Sonja.
Karlos Basoalto: ((Dex+stealth, nothing
exciting I'm afraid))
Sonja Kabari: Looks down at Ang as she leans
against her. Hesitantly pets her hair. Maybe they like that, she doesn't know.
What the hell. It's an experiment. "I've never eaten raw meat."
Angelia Caponelli: She leans her head
against Sonja's knee, "Not even sushi?"
Karlos Basoalto: "Many varieties of sushimi
have nothing to do with raw meat or fish," he murmurs from his corner.
Sonja Kabari: "Not even sushi."
Angelia Caponelli: She glance sover at
Karlos and drinks again, "We need to go out for Sushi Sonja, you're missing
out."
Karlos Basoalto: He steps from his dark
little corner and pads quietly to the exit.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A moment's
consideration, then she drinks.
Angelia Caponelli:
2,6,9,1,4,4,
Sonja Kabari: (per to notice Karlos sneaking
out with their keys)
Sonja Kabari:
6,5,7,8,
Angelia Caponelli: Oblivious to Karlos'
departure she tilts her head back to look up at Sonja. "Mmm you can do the
scanner thing to make sure it's safe before you eat it. It's really good stuff."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno:
6,2,6,5,
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Was Per+Alert at
-2 for drinks))
Sonja Kabari: "That is apt to attract
undesirable attention in a public restaurant."
Karlos Basoalto: He slips out, and closes the
door gently behind himself.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "You can bring it
back here," she offers helpfully, slouching down a bit. "Take-out."
Angelia Caponelli: She nods. "Ohhh I bet
we can find some place thet delivers."
Sonja Kabari: "I'd be willing to try it in a
more private setting."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Now would probably
be bad, though. You need Sake to go with sushi, and I don't know if therte is
any here. Mmmm....saaaaaake."
Angelia Caponelli: She shakes her head at
Reyna. "I really like diet coke with sushi."
Angelia Caponelli:
1,8,3,
Sonja Kabari: "We do digress. Is the game
over?"
Angelia Caponelli: "Mmm I think so. Tell
us a bit about you Sonja."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A shrug. "I dunno.
It's Angelia's turn." She grins to her sentaimate.
Sonja Kabari: "I'm originally from
California, an only child, did well in school, attended Yale on a scholarship,
and eventually moved to New York."
Angelia Caponelli: She glances over to
Reyna and sets her bottle aside, "Naw Sonja. Real stuff about you."
Sonja Kabari: "That was all quite real.
Could you be more specific?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She takes a drink
of her tequila...hell, she was just playing along witn the game anyway. The
whole point is to get drunk. "You want me to start as an example?"
Sonja Kabari: Reyna> "Please."
Sonja Kabari: Sets the glass of rum aside.
Angelia Caponelli: Shrugs a bit. "Like
your favorite color, something you absolutely can't stand, what you think about
when you're having trouble sleeping at night."
Angelia Caponelli -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno:
~fs~ We've been sharing lots sis. It's her turn.
Sonja Kabari: Tilts her head slightly. "I
don't have a favorite color. Nor do I have trouble sleeping when I wish to
sleep. However, I really can't stand... clutter and untidy surroundings."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno -> Angelia Caponelli:
~FS~ "I'm aware, Babe. But she may not be able to
express these kinds of deeper things. She's pretty restrained, and she's
probably still thinking it's a two-on-one situation here."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She's quiet a
moment, looking at her drink and running a finger around the rim, as Sonja
explains her stands on untidiness.
Karlos Basoalto: He wanders back in, nudging
the door open with that nice bottom he uses to hold his legs on, carrying a tray
in both hands. He moves over and sets the tray down on a table, revealing that
it bears a pitcher of ice water with empty glasses, and a whole host of
triangle-cut sandwiches with a variety of fillings, all neatly arranged in rows,
with a little salad to garnish.
Angelia Caponelli: She twists around a bit
and rests her arms on Sonja's knees staring up at her with a drunken grin. "You
have any pets when you were a kid?"
Angelia Caponelli -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno:
~fs~ I know... and share. Just share carefully.
Sonja Kabari: "No, I'm afraid not." Blinking
down at Ang.
Angelia Caponelli: She gives a little part
disapointed pout, "Were you always so emotionally restrained?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks over to
Karlos with an appreciative grin as he brings in food. "You are the fucking man,
hon."
Angelia Caponelli: She grins up at Karlos,
"Thank you. Mmm salad."
Sonja Kabari: Thinks about it a moment. "I
suppose so, yes. My relatives have always said I was a quiet child. I've never
been prone to excessive displays of emotion or wild outbursts."
Sonja Kabari: Looks at Karlos. "How gracious
of you to provide for a room full of drunks," she chuckles.
Karlos Basoalto: "Someone has to ensure you
have the opportunity to slow down your getting-smashed." He smiles faintly.
Angelia Caponelli: Her attention hones
back in on Sonja, "So is your family involved in the Union too?" She absently
rubs Sonja's knee in a drunken attempt at flirting.
Karlos Basoalto: He idly pours out three
glasses of water, and moves them closer to the girls. Just in case they fancy
ensuring they have something to counterbalance the diuretic they're swallowing.
Sonja Kabari: Her eyes flicker down again
towards Ang. "No. Neither of them even went to college. Why have you assumed I'm
affiliated with the union?"
Angelia Caponelli: "Because you use terms
like Enlightment to refer to what we would call magic?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Thank you." She
smiles up at Karlos.
Angelia Caponelli: "And for the most part
you act like one." Having set her rum bottle aside she takes the water
greatfully. "Thank you Karlos."
Sonja Kabari: "Thank you, Mr. Basoalto."
Reaching for a glass of water as Ang paws at her.
Karlos Basoalto: He smiles gently down at
Reyna, offering her a nod. "You're welcome."
Karlos Basoalto: He nods to Sonja and Angelia,
and adds "all welcome."
Sonja Kabari: "It was the terminology Trevor
was using."
Angelia Caponelli: "So you're not
affiliated with the Union then?"
Sonja Kabari: "I act like one? In what
manner?"
Angelia Caponelli: "I don't know... maybe
it's the way you call us reality deviants."
Sonja Kabari: "I am," she admits. "I just
didn't think I was wearing a sign that said so."
Karlos Basoalto: He idly lifts a coupld of
prawn-filled triangles and sinks back into his seat.
Karlos Basoalto: ((Couple even))
Angelia Caponelli: "This only works if
you're and honest with us as we are with you."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She listens to the
conversation, sipping at her tequila, though the glass of water is moved close
for when she wants to get to it.
Sonja Kabari: "Have I given you cause to
doubt my sincerity?"
Karlos Basoalto: Nibbles on a sammich.
Because sammiches are good.
Angelia Caponelli: "No. But for example,
you know what we are but you hesitated before confirming what you were."
Karlos Basoalto: "Perhaps Dr. Kabari has a
comfort zone, Angelia," he reminds gently.
Angelia Caponelli: She sips her water
and nods a bit. "Mmm thats why you're the sober one Karlos. To remind us to be
sensible."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "I think what
Angelia is trying to say, hon, is when you answer a question with a question of
your own, it smells of trying to divert the question as opposed to answering
it." She shrugs a tiny bit. "It's not a sincerity issue, hon, it's...well, lets
be honest, guys. We've all learned to be guarded about what we are. It's a
survival tactic. That's what we're all struggling with. Something we need to
remember we all have."
Sonja Kabari: "You misinterpret my
questions. It was not hesitation. What is there to hesitate about, when you
obviously already know, afterall? The purpose of the questions was not to cast
doubts, but to learn what attributes make me stand out so plainly. In the future
I may wish to modify my behavior patterns."
Karlos Basoalto: Returns his attention to the
sammich.
Angelia Caponelli: She sets her head down
on Sonja's knees and sighs softly, "I don't want you to modify your behavior
with the intention of doing so just to fit in better with us. I just... like
Reyna said. I've shared some very personal moments with you Sonja. And like you
said, if we're all to be a pride of sorts we might as well get used to and get
to know eachother."
Sonja Kabari: Lightly pets Angelia's hair.
"It's difficult, with each of being so terribly different and full of secrets
and suspicions."
Trevor Dunne: He arrives at the house, pulling through the
gate in an older blue ford Focus.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "I tell you what,
Sonja. You've opened up a little bit, so it's my turn. Ask me some questions. As
long as they aren't about my weaknesses, fatal flaws, or anything wacky like
that, I'll answer away." She says it in her typical, maybe-half-joking tone of
voice. And a wink. "Ask anything you want about who I am, as opposed to what I
am."
Angelia Caponelli: She nods a bit, "It is.
You understand?" (They're all in the library)
Trevor Dunne: He parks in the drive and heads into the
house, resetting the perimeter alarm after entering.
Trevor Dunne:
3,2,3,5,3,9,6,
Karlos Basoalto:
1,8,2,2,7,6,3,
Sonja Kabari: "It's difficult to suppress my
curiosity over what you are. It's in my nature to question such things. And
certainly, it must drive who you are in many ways. Why don't you tell me
something you feel comfortable sharing about who you are."
Karlos Basoalto: He glances to the door as he
hears the front door close.
Trevor Dunne: He hears voicse from the library and heads
in, glancing around, surprised to see everyone there and....no blood...yet.
Trevor Dunne: He's wearing denim, and looks as if he's
been doing construction work all day.
Karlos Basoalto: He offers Trev a polite, if
somewhat relieved, nod.
Sonja Kabari: "Hello Trevor."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods.
"Understood." She pulls herself back up, out of her slouch and into a sitting
position. Before she can answer, she looks over and grins at Trevor. "Hey, Babe.
S'up?"
Trevor Dunne: He smiles at them all, looking phyiscally
tired but quite happy. "Hello. What's the occassion?"
Angelia Caponelli: Ang's sitting on the
floor leaning her head against Sonja's knees, Sonja in chair. Reyna's on a couch
as is Karlos. THere's water and sandwiches on the table and there's alcohol
bottles (mostly empty) sitting around.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "We're bonding, and
shit." An easy chuckle to the man.
Angelia Caponelli: She lifts her head and
smiles brightly, albeit a little drunkenly, to Trevor. "Hey Love..."
Trevor Dunne: HE slips his denim jacket off and hangs it
on the coat rack in the hall, then removes his boots and slaps the dust from his
pants before continuing into the library. He goes directly for the sandwiches
and picks up one and a bottle of water, moving over to sit behind the desk.
Sonja Kabari: Points at Reyna. "What she
said."
Trevor Dunne: "Bonding..." He gives a dubious look at
Karlos, then chomps into one of the sandwiches, looking thoughtful.
Karlos Basoalto: He finishes on his prawn
sandwiches, and rises to his feet, crossing to Trev's desk. Without a word he
fishes the three sets of car keys from his pocket and lays them on the blotter,
then heads for the door.
Angelia Caponelli: "But without the
bondage this time." She nods sagely and picks up her water to take another
drink.
Sonja Kabari: "Mr. Basoalto graciously
agreed to referee."
Angelia Caponelli: "Karlos?"
Trevor Dunne: He looks at the keys, then toward the
departing Karlos, lips pursing. "What are these for?"
Karlos Basoalto: "Yes?" He glances back to
Angelia.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A chuckle at
Angelia's comment. "Hey, I'm the one supposed to be making the puns, Babe.
You're crampin' my style."
Karlos Basoalto: He smiles a little at
Trevor, gesturing to the ladies in a circular pointing motion. "Stop these
drunken bums from driving."
Angelia Caponelli: "Thank you for putting
up with us Karlos." She settles back again and sticks her tongue out to Reyna.
Karlos Basoalto: He grins to Angelia.
"Someone's gotta."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A wink goes to
Angelia, and she smiles to Karlos. "See you, Flutterby."
Karlos Basoalto: "Reyna, I'm not gay. Pack it
in." Glances to her.
Karlos Basoalto -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno:
~FS~ "Idiot."
Sonja Kabari: Looks between Reyna and Karlos.
Trevor Dunne: "Oh..." he nods to Karlos and goes back to
his sandwich, watching the dynamics but not adding anything.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She blinks at
Karlos, sobering a little, then sighs, nodding. "Sorry. Bad joke. I have them
occasionally."
Angelia Caponelli: Ang sips her water and
continues leaning on Sonja though she's watching Trevor with a little grin.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno -> Karlos Basoalto:
~FS~ "You're right. Sorry."
Trevor Dunne: He smiles a bit to Ang, then looks to Reyna,
then to where Karlos is.
Karlos Basoalto -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno:
~FS~ "Coupled with the mojo comment, you've really fucking landed me in it.
Thanks a bunch. You know she looks for any excuse she can to scan me. Jesus."
Karlos Basoalto: He turns and shoves the door
open, striding out in true drama queen fashion.
Sonja Kabari: Looks to Reyna. "He seemed
quite offended."
Angelia Caponelli: "Forgive Karlos," She
says to Sonja, "Everyone assumes that cause he's so pretty he sucks cock. He's
starting to get really sensitive about it."
Trevor Dunne: He sips some water, chomps more sandwich.
Sonja Kabari: "I don't believe he's the one
who needs forgiving." Cocking an eyebrow at Reyna.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno -> Karlos Basoalto:
~FS~ "I called you Flutterby during the trip into Trevor's mind. I didn't think
that it would be offensive now. I'm sorry."
Karlos Basoalto -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno:
~FS~ "You don't get it. You're drunk. Never mind."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She just shrugs a
little bit. "My retardation. It happens, from time to time." A bit of a smile.
"Sorry, all, didn't mean to kill the buzz."
Angelia Caponelli: She shrugs a bit, "We
were sharing." She reminds Reyna.
Sonja Kabari: "He'll probably get over it,"
she assures Reyna. At least she didn't flat out call him a cock sucker.
Trevor Dunne: He runs out of sandwich. Runs out of water.
Rises, moves back to the table, and takes one of each before retreating back
behind the desk.
Sonja Kabari: Settles her gaze on Trevor,
who's keeping an interesting distance.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno -> Karlos Basoalto:
~FS~ "Maybe I don't. I know I've fucked up, though, even if I didn't mean to do
so. Can we discuss it later, or should I let it drop completely?"
Angelia Caponelli: Her head turns a bit, watching Trevor move, listening to the two women.
Karlos Basoalto -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno:
~FS~ "See if you can figure it out, Coyote."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: The smile becomes a
stronger, and she nods a little to Sonja, forcing herself back into a good frame
of mind. "Here's hoping." The tequila glass goes down, and she picks up the
water, wincing a little as she does so.
Trevor Dunne: (gonna be slow, gotta move cars for trash
day)
Karlos Basoalto: ((dropping nick, gotta go
shower :) ))
Angelia Caponelli: Ang gets an entirely
mischiefious glint to her dark eyes. "Did you have any questions you wanted to
ask either of us Sonja?" She's still watching Trevor though, she reaches up and
sets her glass on the table beside Sonja's chair.
Angelia Caponelli: (see you Karlos!)
Sonja Kabari: ((Night Troo, thanks for the
cameo!))
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((*hugs the Troo*))
Sonja Kabari: Toasts Reyna with her glass of
water.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A coyote grin to
Sonja, and she returns the toast, drinking some.
Sonja Kabari: "Mmm... don't really know what
to ask that doesn't fall under the heading of work or species."
Sonja Kabari: "Is it just me, or is Trevor
avoiding all three of us?" Glancing at the other two women.
Angelia Caponelli: "I think he is..." She
tilts her head a bit and puts her hands down on the floor her look turning even
more impish and starts crawling over to the desk.
Sonja Kabari: "Do you suppose all three of
us getting along so well makes him... " Smiles. "..nervous?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She chuckles a
little, shaking her head, and goes to take another drink of water.
Trevor Dunne: "I'm sitting in the only leather chair in
the room because my pants are dirty and I don't want to get dust on the
upholstery." He says between bites.
Sonja Kabari: ((Just realized it's 2am! I
need to crash.))
Trevor Dunne: He gives Ang a longsuffering look as she
crawls over to him, then reaches up to pat her on the head.
Sonja Kabari: "Mmmmhmmm," she says leaning
back, the alcohol making her sleepy.
Angelia Caponelli: She sits back down
beside Trevor's chair and walks her fingers absently up along his thigh, "I'll
clean the couch if that's what's keeping you from sitting with us."
Angelia Caponelli: (ack! *hugs*)
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She sits there,
quietly, watching the others, head cocked slightly to the side.
: ((It was the rohypnol ^_^))
Sonja Kabari: Closes her eyes for a moment
and promptly fades away.
Angelia Caponelli: (Karlos drugged our
water! :P )
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Tee Hee))
: ((Teehee! Now he can have his way with you
all!))
Sonja Kabari: ((Hey, that's illegal in the
US! *L*))
Angelia Caponelli: Being in her sort of
drunk, very playful mood she just gives a shrug when SOnja dozes off and grins
over to Reyna.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((So is shooting
people in hospitals, changing into a 7-9 foot tall furry thing, and beating
woman about with chairs. You don't see anyone complaining to Reyna.))
Trevor Dunne: He runs his hand along her head, then looks
over at the dozing Sonja and the pensive Reyna. "It looks like it's time for
everyone to head off to sleep."
Sonja Kabari: ((Let me know if you shave her
or anything while she's asleep. Nighty night! *kapoofs*))
Angelia Caponelli: (nini Sonja) "I'm not
tired." She says, "We were just having some girl talk time."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Me?" She shrugs.
"I'm all sortsa awake. Don't mind me."
Trevor Dunne: He smiles at Ang. "Then don't let me
interrupt."
Angelia Caponelli: "Well Sonja's asleep
now. Apparently she can't handle her alcohol so well."
Trevor Dunne: (Sorry, thought i'd posted that before hunny
sent me off with the trash)
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She chuckles,
glancing over to Sonja. "Yeah, whoda thunk that?" A sigh, and she straightens up
her posture, then twists her obdy to either side, causing that popping sound to
run up her spine.
Trevor Dunne: He finishes off the rest of his sandwich and
downs the rest of the water. "I should take her up to a room and then head off
for a shower."
Angelia Caponelli: She pulls away from the
chair with a sigh but a smile, "Sure... she's not so bad. I'm not entirely
convinced she wouldn't disect me given the chance though. Just like the fable
with the scorpion and the lady bug."
Trevor Dunne: "Angelia, she saved my life. She didn't have
to. She's a good person."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Don't know that
particular fable, Babe. But I think I get the gist, though."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "She is a good
person, Trevor." She looks to the man. "I don't know that anyone's contesting
that."
Angelia Caponelli: "I didn't say she
was a bad person. I don't think she is, or that she would sleep any where in
this house if she was and didn't genuinely at least want to trust us."
: ((Good people dissect your friends too:) ))
Trevor Dunne: "Angelia is saying she's rotten at heart and
can't change."
Angelia Caponelli: "I didn't say that
either." She frowns and leans her head back to look up at him. "I said her
nature is to be curious about things and we all know that it takes a very long
time for people to change their natures even when they really really want to.
That doesn't make her rotten. It makes her differant in a way we have to keep an
eye on no matter how much we like her."
Trevor Dunne: He sighs and gathers up Sonja, carrying her
to the door.
Angelia Caponelli: She frowns a bit and
pulls herself up to her feet.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "I don't know if
it'a a matter of that, even. We just have to establish ground rules, due to her
Union affiliation. I trust her, but I don't trust her bosses."
Trevor Dunne: He easesthe door open with his foot and
carries Sonja out into the hall and up the stairs.
Angelia Caponelli: She looks to Reyna,
"Aren't we suposed to be the trusting ones and him the one going 'hey wait hold
up here on the hugs and puppies?'"
Trevor Dunne: He lays Sonja down on the bed in a guest
bedroom, eases her shoes off, and settles a blanket over her before heading out
of the room.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A sigh, and she
smiles after to Angelia. "Yeah, that's how it's always gone. Shoe's knida on the
other foot this time, I guess."
Angelia Caponelli: She leans against the
desk and smooths her sundress a bit, "Think he's mad?"
Trevor Dunne: He stands in the hallway outside Sonja's
room for a few minutes, taking a few breaths, and then heads into the master
bedroom to strip his dirty clothes off and take a shower.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "I don't think so.
I think maybe he's frustrated. I think he really views the situation, as do we
all, as kind of a you and me on one side, Sonja on the other, and that bothers
him."
Angelia Caponelli: "Yeah but I hated
you in the begining too lets not forget and look at us now. It just takes time
and... like you said, there is the issue of her superiors."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "What we need to do
is get everyone to change their perspectives. We'll get it figured out, though."
Trevor Dunne: it's a rather short shower for him, only
lasting about 10 minutes. but after the water stops, he doesn't come down.
Angelia Caponelli: She rolls her eyes up
at the ceiling. "Think he wants to be alone?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A little shrug. "I
don't know, to be honest. Should one of us go check?"
Angelia Caponelli: She tilts her head
towards the door, "Lets just go together." She pushes off the desk.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "A'ight." A short
nod, and she rises to her feet, taking a moment to steady herself before moving
with Angelia to head out of the room and upstairs.
Karlos Basoalto: He's just heading downstairs
himself.
Angelia Caponelli: Ang makes sure Reyna is
indeed steady before heading up with her and knocking on the bed room door.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A look at Karlos as
he's descending the stairs, and a flush as she stops. "Hey."
Trevor Dunne: "What?" he asks, muffled through the door.
Karlos Basoalto: He slips his hands into his
pockets, pausing, glancing to Reyna. "Where's the fire?"
Angelia Caponelli: She glances over to
Karlos before her attention's pulled back to the door, "Can we come in?"
Trevor Dunne: "Sure." He's sitting at the dressing table
with a towel wrapped around his waist, looking at himself in the mirror.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "No fire.
Otherwise, I'd be running along with my gas can." A little smile.
Angelia Caponelli: She opens the door
and glances back to Karlos and Reyna. Leaving it open she heads on in. "I'm
sorry. What I was trying to say down stairs didn't come out right."
Karlos Basoalto: He lifts an eyebrow, then
glances back up the stairs. "Where's Sonja?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "She went nighty
night. Trevor took her upstairs to sleep it off."
Trevor Dunne: "I understand your concerns," he says, still
peering at himself in the mirror. He seems to be examining all his scars. "I
don't understand why you would think I would not have considered all the things
that you and Reyna mentioned before I allowed her to become that intimate with
me."
Karlos Basoalto: He glances back to Reyna as
she feels the need to speak baby at him, then turns and wanders back upstairs.
Angelia Caponelli: "I don't think that. I
was just expressing my concerns and assessment."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A sigh, and she
rubs the bridge of her nose, before starting to head up the stairs.
Trevor Dunne: He raises a brow at her in the mirror. "Angelia,
mentioning those concerns and asssesments is tantamount to saying 'No, Trevor, I
don't believe you did due diligence, I think you might have possibly invited
someone who will betray us all into our midst.'"
Karlos Basoalto: He leans against the
doorframe, glancing around Trevor's room.
Trevor Dunne: HE glances at Karlos via the mirror,
quirking his mouth to one side.
Angelia Caponelli: She walks over, to the
side not behind him cause he hates that, "I don't know what you've done to be
sure this is safe though I know you and that you would have done everything you
could. But like how we know her superiors are totally mind fucking her for
information about us when she's back at work? It's not an irrational concern. Is
it?"
Trevor Dunne: "Angelia, if her superiors had any interest
in us, they would have come after us after mindfucking me when I was in their
custody."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She heads up to the
bedroom door, pausing there a second before slipping past Karlos with an
apologetic look.
Trevor Dunne: "They are not after us because, simply,
we are the good guys. Or we have been up until recently, when someone who shall
remain clueless started shooting up a hospital after impersonating a police
officer."
Karlos Basoalto: Idly rubs his nose.
Angelia Caponelli: "I don't know. I don't
know enough about them to know what they would do. I just want to know that our
family here, and that includes Sonja who has a lot on the line by being here I
understand, is safe. And I still think we need to keep an eye on her until she
stops thinking of us as deviants and starts seeing us as people."
Trevor Dunne: "Fine," he shrugs to Ang. "Keep an eye on
her." He looks to Karlos to see if he has anything to say, then glances over at
Reyna.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Yeah. Well." She
sighs, leaning back against the wall.
Trevor Dunne: (15 minute warning, need sleep soon)
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "I never said I was
a master planner."
Karlos Basoalto: "Everyone's a deviant,
Angelia," he murmurs softly. "Even Sonja."
Trevor Dunne: "You don't use firearms in hospitals if you
can at all help it," he lectures her. "There is oxygen in use there, and you can
start a fucking fire, or even an explosion, and people who are bedridden or in
comas can't very well run away from those sorts of things."
Angelia Caponelli: "Hey... all your girls
are under one roof and no punchs have been thrown. I call it an improvement."
She shrugs and walks away from the dressing table to sit on the bed and pull off
her shoes, glancing over Karlos and Reyna. "I know Karlos... just the thing as I
see it is is she looks at us and sees 'reality deviants' not people. I think
we'll know she's accepted us when she just sees us as people. My theory at
least."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A little nod.
"Stupid decision on my part, I know."
Karlos Basoalto: "Your theory is wrong. She
sees you as people." His voice remains gentle. "You have to share him, Angel."
Trevor Dunne: "And you don't go into something like that
without at least alerting your sentaimates that you're going. No wonder Silkie
went off and got killed if this is the kind of example you're setting." He
shakes his head, and then looks at Ang in the mirror. "Angelia, I think it's
great you're all getting along. It's an incredible improvement. And I think
you're right, she has prejudices she needs to over come."
Angelia Caponelli: "She wants to take
you to her lab and poke at you Karlos. That's not 'people' that's walking
science experiment. I'm sharing. I invited her here, twice now. I'm trying, it's
hard for me too but i'm trying." She nods a bit to Trevor and tosses her shoes
off into the corner.
Trevor Dunne: He looks over at Karlos. Clearly, he doesn't
understand why the man is here, and it unsettles him.
Karlos Basoalto: "She's been thrust in among
a group of people she's been educated to fear and distrust. Give her time."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She's remains where
she is, hands in her pockets, quietly listening as she watches Trevor.
Trevor Dunne: He draws in a deep breath, and exhales,
turning to regard himself in the mirror.
Karlos Basoalto: He glances to Trevor, then
murmurs "I'll go."
Angelia Caponelli: "Reyna, you staying?"
She reaches behind herself to pull the zipper on the back of her dress. "I don't
think anyone's denying that. I know it's gonna take a while... I haven't said
any differant. I'm about mentioning you had mojo Karlos, I meant it in an Austin
Powers sort of way."
Trevor Dunne: "This is...very hard for me. I am...I have
not very many skills or much experience with...small talk or...groups that don't
revolve around killing someone or keeping someone from being killled."
Karlos Basoalto: "She's looking for reasons
to doubt you. And you're looking for reasons to doubt her." He turns and heads
to the stairs.
Trevor Dunne: "I don't mean to
be...bristly....hypercritical...distant...or other things that people don't like
about me. But I am...feeling very much like I'm drowning and the only way to
gain some control over that is to push you all away."
Angelia Caponelli: She watches Karlos go
and wiggles out of her dress before looking over to Trevor, "I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to suprise you with something you weren't ready for."
Karlos Basoalto -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno:
~FS~ "Tell him I met with the Princess. Tell him the boy recognised me from...
somewhen else."
Karlos Basoalto: He moves quietly down the
stairs.
Karlos Basoalto -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno:
~FS~ "I would feel happier if someone could check them all for taint."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno -> Karlos Basoalto:
~FS~ "Kay."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A small shrug.
"Yeah, I'm not going anywhere. Not 'till I sober up, at least." A small smile
goes to Trevor. "S'okay, Babe. I understand."
Trevor Dunne: He snarls to himself as Karlos exits, and
Ang strips off, and Reyna stays put. He's not sure what he wanted out of any of
them but all three reactions are...not in his repertoire.
Karlos Basoalto -> Reyna Varinia Reiruno:
~FS~ "Let me know what he wants me to do."
Trevor Dunne: "I think I need to sleep," he says, rising
and heading over to the bed, slipping his towel off and climbing under the
covers.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Karlos met with
the Princess, Trevor. The boy regonized him from somewhere...he'd like them to
be checked for taint." A raised eyebrow at the snarl. "Would you rather I give
you some space right now?"
Karlos Basoalto: He goes to the kitchen and
puts on the kettle.
Angelia Caponelli: She tosses her dress in
the hamper and goes to grab a t shirt to sleep in and pulls it on. She looks
back like she might ask him something but her expression softens.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno -> Karlos Basoalto:
~FS~ "I reported it to him. He said he needs to sleep right now."
Trevor Dunne: He goes up on one elbow and looks at
Reyna as if she's just sprouted a second head. "Why didn't Karlos tell me that
when he was here, and why didn't he ask Angelia or Malcolm to check them?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "I don't know."
Trevor Dunne: "See...." he chuffs, frustrated. "I
understand business. I can talk business. I can talk duty. I
can't...talk...whatever it was you were doing downstairs."
Angelia Caponelli: She gets a little
bristly at the mention of the princess no one told her about in the first place
and takes a slow breath.
Karlos Basoalto: Pours himself a coffee, then
sits and stares at it.
Trevor Dunne: That seems to remind him of something and he
turns to look at Ang. "So what's your plan for Ammon?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Don't know what to
tell ya." She gives a half-apologetic shrug. "You want me to give you space
right now?"
Angelia Caponelli: She grabs the edge of
the bankets to climb into bed too but leaving lots of room for Trevor so he
doesn't have to get all close to her if he doesn't want to. "Actually I wanted
to talk to you about Ammon... can the cup be used on an unwilling subject?"
Angelia Caponelli: "Cause I'm really
thinking that we have two options - either kill him or take all his toys away."
Trevor Dunne: "I'm not sure," he answers Ang, looking to
Reyna. "I don't know," he answers honestly. "I don't understand why I'm so upset
right now, so I don't know whether you leaving will make me more or less upset."
Trevor Dunne: Ang>> "WHat's wrong with killing him? He
fucking violated the treaty. He fucking killed one of your sentaimates after
Fausto ~expressly~ told him to stay the fuck away from Silkie."
Karlos Basoalto: He glances toward the door
at the yelling.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A little nod to
that. "Okay. Well, then, I'll be in one of the other bedrooms. If it makes you
more upset, it won't be far for me to come back."
Angelia Caponelli: She nods a bit and
fluffs her pillows a bit, "Is it cause we did something with out your knowledge,
concent or control over it? Cause you're the big lion who's suposed to be
sitting in the shade watching and we're not suposed to do much with out you
seeing it I expect... in lion mentality." She puts her head down and looks at
him, "Cause I think it might drive home the message a little firmer to the rest
of his vampire buddies that we can do worse then kill them if they fuck with us.
We can make them completely helpless. I'm all for killing him. I was just saying
that's our options the way I see it."
Karlos Basoalto: He rises and wanders back
upstairs again, cradling his coffee.
Karlos Basoalto:
4,4,3,9,9,9,9,
Karlos Basoalto: "I want him dead," he
says quietly, clearly having heard it all. He leans against the doorframe again.
"When you said you had a plan, I thought you meant you had a plan."
Angelia Caponelli: "I said I had an idea.
I still haven't tracked down Rauko to ask her about where to find him."
Trevor Dunne: Reyna>> "I just want to sleep." Ang>> "Why
the ~fuck~ are you asking me about this? I'm not in charge of the Concerto, I'm
not the fucking Mind, and I don't have any obsessive desire to control what you
women do every moment of every day or I'd have trolled the streets for females
who don't have a fucking ~whit~ of sense or self esteme or willpower. Lions want
lionnesses who can go out and fucking hunt on their own, or in a group and bring
the quarry back."
Karlos Basoalto: "How long does it take,
Angel? She lives at the K-R. It's not hard."
Angelia Caponelli: She looks at Trevor,
snags her pillow and gets out of the bed. "You just asked /me/ about it. I asked
you about the Gaia damned cup cause you know how to use it. FUCK. Reyna you
sleep with him I'll take the other guest room."
Karlos Basoalto: He gazes at Angelia. "You
want to use the cup. On a Setite. Who is working with Hesha and Qetu to find the
cup. Are you out of your fucking head?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks over at
Karlos, then to Trevor and Angelia, rubbing her forehead.
Angelia Caponelli: "And you Karlos didn't
even tell me this shit till two days ago nor did you tell me some bloody
princess had come demanding that my mate got turned over. Come to think of it.
Neither of you did. So let's not harp on Angelia about shitty communication."
She heads to the door grumbling in italian.
Karlos Basoalto: "Now in lieu of a Mind, I
gave you an order, Angelia. I ordered you to find him and destroy him. I told
you how to find him. I gave you all you need. Stop procrastinating and DO it."
Karlos Basoalto: He's still in the doorway.
Regarding Angelia. "I said nothing about shitty communication."
Trevor Dunne: "Look, you people go down stairs and talk to
one another and quit using me as your fucking information clearing house. You're
a sentai, for chrissakes. Act like one or you're going to dissolve just like you
did before."
Karlos Basoalto: He shoots Trevor a glance,
shifting posture.
Trevor Dunne: "Well, get the fuck out of my bedroom when I
want to sleep, then." He says to Karlos pointedly.
Angelia Caponelli: "Karlos, we were
putting Silkie back in her body last night pretty much all of last night. I
couldn't get ahold of Rauko today. Deal with it. Now could I please go find a
bed because I'm in the 'wanting sleep' club here."
Karlos Basoalto: He glares at Angelia.
Trevor Dunne: He flumps back down off his elbow and pulls
his pillow over his head. "And turn the light out."
Angelia Caponelli: (cause it's 2 am here
now! :P )
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She purses her
lips, and nods. "All right. I'm going to go find a room." She looks to Trevor,
then turns and looks to Karlos, waiting for him to move. Not demanding it...just
waiting, for when he does.
Angelia Caponelli: She takes about three
steps back from Karlos and pulls the pillow up infront of her, hugging it, and
looks off to the side, way from him, bitting into her lower lip. Her posture
becoming very... not submissive, more little girlish - small, anxious. "Stop
it." She says weakly.
Trevor Dunne:
5,9,7,4,10,3,
Karlos Basoalto: "Kill him," he repeats
firmly. Then turns on his heel and walks away.
Trevor Dunne: He rolls out of bed and shifts up to Chatro
in an instant, the plaintive note in Ang's voice all it takes to get him to
defend his mate in his own bedroom. His lips curl back and he snarls, advancing
on Karlos.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A frown, as she
looks from Karlos to Angelia. She moves to the girl, putting an arm around her
shoulder. "C'mon, Babe...let's get you to bed."
Karlos Basoalto: He glances back to Trevor.
"My Sentaimate," he replies calmly. "I have not attacked her. Her conscience
has."
Trevor Dunne: Every move every gesture is ritualized to
display dominance and territory, his agression utterly focused on Karlos.
Angelia Caponelli: She rolls her shoulder
to shrug off Reyna's touch.
Karlos Basoalto: He sighs, and starts
breaking apart. "I don't want any of your damn women." The coffee cup falls to
the floor.
Trevor Dunne: When Karlos doesn't respond with equal
ritual and clear intention, he slams a paw out, claws retracted, but clearly
intending to force his rival into either full combat or acknowledging his claim
to the female.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She blinks as
Angelia shrugs her off, and observes the situation, body tensed.
Angelia Caponelli: "Trevor.." She says in
that same soft, weak tone.
Karlos Basoalto: The paw scatters the cloud
of butterflies, sending them downstairs.
Trevor Dunne: He chuffs when Karlos breaks apart, his
aggression muted at the other's withdrawal. Satisfied that Karlos isn't a
threat, he chuffs again, pacing around the room as if demarcating his territory,
before shifting down to feline and settling on the floor.
Angelia Caponelli: She moves bcak to the
bed and climbs back into it in a 'see I'm yours' gesture though her mine seems
else where. She gets a bit of a twitch before she settles down into the bedding,
staring at the wall.
Trevor Dunne: At Ang's cry, he rises and pads over to her,
nuzzling her, then sliding one cheek, and then the other against her face.
Angelia Caponelli: (mind even)
Karlos Basoalto: He finds his way out of the
house, and heads off.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She watches
everything unfold, stunned. When she sees Trevor comforting Angelia, she turns
around, walking out the door and heading downstairs, toward the library.
Trevor Dunne: He climbs up beside her, curling
protectively around her, chuffing again, in case any lingering butterflies
remain ~lion~ "Mine. Don't hurt my mate."
Angelia Caponelli: Big big kitty... she
gives a bit of a suprised gasp but closes her eyes and snuggles against the
furry mass.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Inside the library,
she snatches up her keys. She's damn well sober enough to drive now. She heads
out the front door, shutting it behind her, and moves to the Bitchmobile.
Angelia Caponelli: (And we can call it
there?)
Trevor Dunne: Eventually, the surge of Rage finally
subsides and he reverts to homid, sleeping around her. (and I gotta sleep thanks
for the scene)
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Off she drives,
away from the house. ((Thanks for the scene, guys. *Hugs*))
Angelia Caponelli: (nini! thanks guys!)
