Juliana Sarolta: "Yes, I did," she agrees. "Your vocabulary is most unusual."

Galen Mackenzie: ((oh, my bad *lmao* amend that last to "butt puppet"))

Juliana Sarolta: Galen: She turns the expressive eyes to him. "How can one be both pussy whipped and a butt pirate? Unless he is bisexual, which I do not believe he is. I could be wrong, however."

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: Andy smirks at Galen's rendition of the situation. "Couldn't have said it better myself." He nods to Juliana. "I'm immature for my age. Go figure."

Juliana Sarolta: ((DLP then *GIGGLES*))

Jackie Argonis: ~One hand slips to her keyring dangling from the bottom button on her dress, fingers closing around one of the objects dangling from it, but she makes no move to remove it. Yet. She resumes her walk once he catches up~

Juliana Sarolta: Andy: "Yes, I see."

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: (see? immature name calling is contagious.) He starts rolling idly in loose circles. Bored it would seem. Eyes still peeled down the path. Just in case.

Galen Mackenzie: Looks back at Juliana. "You wanted fresh air and strangers...strangeness will have to do. Hell, Gavriil could be down on his knees weeping and begging, and we're missing the encore." Waggles his eyebrows suggestively, his attention shifting from the attractive face to Andy skating.

Juliana Sarolta: "He does not seem the type of man who would beg and plead. I do hope he isn't. It would spoil my image of him and the pedestal would have to lower. That would be a shame," she says distantly, almost to herself.

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: d10: kickflip: 2,6,6,4,4,6,2,

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He skates to himself for a moment. Quiet, but staying close.

Galen Mackenzie: "Sure it would. But I see your point. It's not sporting to take shots at him when he's not around to defend himself with his customary smugness." Leans back against the bench, his eyes sliding down to follow the angle of her leg.

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: Andy looks over to the pair. "Eh. That's my cue. You guys have fun snuggling or whatever. I think I'ma snag a burger and find a place to crash."

Juliana Sarolta: Galen: "It is true." She uncrosses her legs and re-crosses the other way, giving him another brief, too brief, glimpse of the lace tops of her stockings.

Nyte: ((Room for another?))

Juliana Sarolta: ((yep!))

Galen Mackenzie: "See ye around then." He replies distractedly to Andy. If he's curious why Andy has such hostility towards Gavriil...not that uncommon, it doesn't compete with the warm body beside him.

Galen Mackenzie: ((sure))

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: Andy kicks off and rolls down the path.

Juliana Sarolta: Her velvet-dark eyes are on Galen's face as she sits still and silent.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: ((And I was just about to ask the same. *G*))

Alexander Donovan : Alex is dressed back in his 'normal' clothes. Loose jeans and a muscle shirt, hair loose and free around his head. He's walking with casual ease, taking a shortcut through the park from whatever club he was at to his current place of rest.

Juliana Sarolta: (Ok with me again *S*)

Galen Mackenzie: Juliana: "So, fancy him do ye? Even with him chasing after another woman?" His tone both teasing and conversational.

Juliana Sarolta: ((I can give her DD if needed.))

Galen Mackenzie: (grabbing a drink, brb)

Jackie Argonis: ((~L~ Jump on in guys ;)))

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: (thanks guys. is my bedtime)

Juliana Sarolta: Galen: "It depends on what you mean by fancy," she replies gracefully. "I wouldn't kick him out of my bed for eating crackers, but I wouldn't necessarily invite him either."

Gavriil Kazimir : (G'night Scarlet)

Juliana Sarolta: ((Night Andy-P!))

Alexander Donovan : ((Nighty night, may ladybugs keep the pollen flowing.)) Alex notes a crowd ahead, and a familiar boarder heading away. Hell, why not. See who's out tonight.

Jackie Argonis: ((~LIX a flower~ Sweet dreams buful!))

Juliana Sarolta: ~She is sitting on a park bench next to Galen.~

Gavriil Kazimir : (Jackie and Gavriil are away from the others, up towards one of the exits just for information purposes)

Galen Mackenzie: Laughs, pulling his eyes away from her face to have a look about. "I thought ye could be direct with a small bit of encouragement. He could probably use a good shag."

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: She makes her way into the park, adjusting the leather trench coat on her shoulders some. Still not entirely used to how it fit over the black clothes. Her hair is pulled back into a braid, as usual. She looks around with a cool gaze as she makes her way toward the paths.

Juliana Sarolta: "Perhaps he would prefer that over Berber. It's certainly better than cheap piling."

Alexander Donovan : d10: per/alert: 9,7,5,7,1,

Galen Mackenzie: He doesn't get the reference and looks puzzled.

Juliana Sarolta: Galen: She smiles, just a bit. "Berber is a type of carpet, as is shag. But yes, I understood you were referring to sex. It was a joke."

Alexander Donovan : Of course, the group breaks up and now all he sees are couples, and a lady in a trenchcoat. He wipes some seat off his forehead and thinks about that a moment, but doesn't shorten his stride.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: d10: Per+Alert: 9,7,5,7,6,

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: ((I said trench. I meant jacket. Her polar opposite PC, Aerin, wears the trench. Usually.))

Galen Mackenzie: Displays a rare sheepish expression. "Sex with him is a joke huh? I thought from the crackers in bed comment that you have not known him intimately." He stretches his arms over his head, careful not to bump her, dropping his arms sedately as new figures come into view.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: She looks over her shoulder, noting Gavriil and Jackie. The Silver Fang gets a narrowed gaze, before she looks elsewhere. Alex is given a momentary glance, as are Juliana and Galen. No one she knows off-hand.

Juliana Sarolta: "I have not known him intimately and I have no idea how he views sex." She pats Galen's thigh comfortingly. "It's alright that you don't understand. Some don't."

Galen Mackenzie: "Meaning no offense, Juliana, but Gavriil's sex life, or lack thereof isn't high on my conversation list. I think he needs to get laid, that's the end of it." Squinting in the available light. "You expecting company?"

Hauser (PB 4): Hauser strides into the Park like he owns it. The tall and muscular man looks around with a little grin and same look as always. Barechested with just the miliatry style jacket, pants and boots. That Get Tribal symbol tattooed over his heart is pretty hard to miss too. The young man has a short high and tight style cut to his hair and a two scars evident on his right cheek.

Hauser (PB 4): (change)

Alexander Donovan : d10: per/alert: 1,8,6,9,1,

Juliana Sarolta: "I always do," she says to Galen, looking at the figures.

Alexander Donovan : He starts to head toward the single female out this time of night, heck.. no reason to interupt the couples. He pauses though when another vague outline starts coming through the shadowy park.

Galen Mackenzie: d10: per/alert: 8,10,7,5,7,7,

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: d10: Per+Alert: 10,7,9,3,9,

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: She raises an eyebrow to the approaching Alex, then looks over her shoulder at Hauser. A smile to the Get, eyes lowering respectfully, before she looks back to Alex.

Hauser (PB 4): Hauser gives her more of a grin while walking up closer to her. "Hello Annika." he tells her.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: "Sir," she says, nodding to him. "An honor to be in your company as always. How are you this night?"

Alexander Donovan : Alex rubs his chin a moment when the single lady is joined by the new arrival, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a band and shoving his hair into it so it's completely out of the way of his feild of vision, finding a spot to sit down and just pay attention to who all is reacting to what.

Galen Mackenzie: He sits up a little straighter, indifferently running his fingers through his hair as he gazes at Alexander, then Annika and Hauser.

Hauser (PB 4): "Disappointed as always." he says with a bit of a shrug as he looks around once more. "And yourself?"

Juliana Sarolta: She watches the others. The man with the tattoo is interesting.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: She follows his gaze with her own briefly. "Speculative."

Juliana Sarolta: She stands up gracefully, tugging lightly at the end of her dress.

Hauser (PB 4): "About?" he asks to Annika.

Juliana Sarolta: She walks with unhurried, measured steps towards an exit.

Galen Mackenzie: His eyes flick back to Juliana at the movement. He remains seated, waiting to see if she's simply adjusting her clothing, preparing to leave, or to walk over toward the others.

Alexander Donovan : Alex glances toward the woman leaving, trying to get a rough estimate of what way she's going on the way out.

Juliana Sarolta: She didn't give so much as a goodbye, seeming not to think about it.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: "How deep it truly goes," she says calmly.

Gavriil Kazimir : *out beyond the boundaries of the park he watches the cab with Jackie inside pull away. * You really are an idiot. *he says quietly to himself. He glances back at the park gates perhaps deciding if he should head back in or not*

Juliana Sarolta: ((Would anyone object if I bring in Jez? Juliana doesn't quite fit right now.))

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: ((You crazy, crazy bird. *S* I have no objections.))

Hauser (PB 4): He nods about that, actually sighing a bit for a moment. "Far deeper then any of these fools want to admit." he tells her as he stands there with her.

Chinalurk: ((~Soooooooooo wants to bring Maya in....... must..... behave........))

Gavriil Kazimir : *he decides to mull things over while smoking. He reaches into his pocket and produces a pack of cigarettes, he withdraws one and sparks it taking a long drag as he leans against one of the gate's stone pilings*

Jez [PB 2]: He strolls through the park, alert and wary, but not paranoid. He wears an expensively-tailored dark purple silk suit with a white silk shirt beneath, black Italian leather shoes on his feet. No make-up, no fingernail polish.

Chinalurk: ((~Giggles N scampers~ Nini folks. Will be going to bed here pretty soon. ~LIX all around~))

Alexander Donovan : He makes no effort to hide that he's watching the two looking around and scowling. The woman leaving, the guy getting up. He wonders how many 'bums' and 'strays' discreetly moving either closer... or away depending on their political bent.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: "I do not doubt that," she says to Hauser, hands folding over her lap. "It simply means rooting deeper, of course?"

Jez [PB 2]: ((Night China!))

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: d10: Per+Alert: 7,7,7,3,4,

Jez [PB 2]: d10: per alert: 7,2,7,5,2,8,3,

Galen Mackenzie: He snorts, watching Juliana leave. "Guess she can take care of herself." He mutters gruffly, appearing to have no real interest in any of the others, scowling as if brooding to himself.

Jez [PB 2]: His steps slow, but don't falter. Hm. But Annika seems to see him, no point in veering a different direction.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: ((Night, CHina!)) She looks over as Jez enters the park, a snort coming from her...and then, she notices Alex's scowl. She locks eyes with the man, briefly at least, looking him over for the usual signs.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: d10: Per+G. Lore: 9,3,6,1,8,8,

Alexander Donovan : d10: and again: 1,2,2,6,6,

Alexander Donovan : Another shade in the distance coming closer. And he thought it would be an uneventful walk through the park. What a pleasant suprise.

Jez [PB 2]: His eyes go to Hauser's, and then he lowers his own in respectful submission to one of higher station. "Good evening, sir." He looks to Galen, "Sir," and does the same thing, and then to Alex, "Sir." Solemn but nothing else is betrayed on his face.

Hauser (PB 4): Hauser shrugs, "I don't know if anything will reveal the truth to them." he says following her gaze towards Jez and then over towards Alex.

Jez [PB 2]: And now, "Ms. Brandt." A light nod.

Jez [PB 2]: ((Greeting post will be after Hauser. Assuming Jez didn't hear anything of their conversation.)) He waits for dismissal.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: She looks dismissively away from Alex, then smirks slightly at Jez. "Mr. Talino." It's said with a show of formality over a lack of respect.

Jez [PB 2]: He doesn't smirk back at Annika. Not playing the game, apparently.

Galen Mackenzie: He raises his head, gazing at Jez for a couple seconds, then slowly blinks. "Out for a stroll in the moonlight?" Getting languidly to his feet, cracking his neck.

Hauser (PB 4): He watches Annika and Jez, not really saying anything right now.

Alexander Donovan : Alex gets up and strides closer to the group then when Jez greets him. Jez: "Good evening."

Gavriil Kazimir : *he takes one last drag of the cigarette before flicking the butt away and then starting off down the street away from the park* (I'm off to sleep me thinks. G'night all!)

Jez [PB 2]: Galen: "Yes, sir." He smiles warmly to him. "The park speaks to my soul."

Jez [PB 2]: He looks to Hauser. A nod, and, "Excuse me. I won't intrude." He moves a short distance away, hopefully leading Alex and Galen with him.

Jez [PB 2]: ((Night!))

Alexander Donovan : And he does head in the same direction as Jez then, giving Hauser and Annika both a breif nod.

Alexander Donovan : And he does head in the same direction as Jez then, giving Hauser and Annika both a breif nod.

Alexander Donovan : ((Good night.))

Galen Mackenzie: Snorts softly. "I'll answer to Galen, don't sir me, it makes me feel the burden of responsibility." With a look over his shoulder at Hauser and Annika, he strolls towards Jez and Alexander.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: She shrugs a little to Jez, as if to say "Ah, well, and then watches him head off with Galen and Alex. Cold looks to all three.

Hauser (PB 4): Hauser grins about something as he watches them retreating. A bit of a smirk before he looks to Annika.

Jez [PB 2]: Galen: He grins. "I would hate to do that, Galen. Perish the thought. Galen, Alex. Alex, Galen."

Alexander Donovan : Alex offers his hand to Galen. "A pleasure."

Jez [PB 2]: While the two are greeting each other, he looks thoughtfully over at Hauser.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: She shakes her head at something about the three before looking back to Hauser. A curious expression at the smirk.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: d10: Per+Emp: 8,2,7,2,

Jez [PB 2]: d10: per body lang Hauser: 8,2,2,7,5,6,8,

Hauser (PB 4): He shrugs a bit, certainly seeming amused by something likely about the three moving off like that.

Galen Mackenzie: Accepts Alex's proferred hand, giving it a shake which is firm, but casual. He momentarily looks over Annika,shakes his head and releases Alexanders hand."Meet ya." Looking toward the gate Juliana most likely left from. "Sorry...distracted."

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: Interesting. She looks away from Hauser, looking around. "If I may ask, Sir...the confrontation approaches soon?"

Jez [PB 2]: Chuckles, pulling his attention back to the two. Alex: "Galen has a habit of being distracted by pretty women. Seems you two have that in common."

Alexander Donovan : "Understandable. If'd I had a looker like that on my arm, I'd have been distracted as well."

Jez [PB 2]: A glance over at the striking duo of Hauser and Annika, almost fascinated.

Alexander Donovan : ((Told you, brain was mine tonight.)) Alex's grip is firm. Not crushing, but he does exert a good bit of pressure.

Alexander Donovan : "I take it those are some that I've heard so much about?" A glance to Jez.

Hauser (PB 4): "Yes, Lucious is looking forward to it. As are many of us." he says while turning his attention back to Annika.

Jez [PB 2]: Alex: Quietly. "Perhaps. Now isn't the time for those discussions, however. Let's enjoy the peace while it lasts."

Galen Mackenzie: Grins at Jez, not full wattage, but he is amused. "I just met her tonight. I think she has a thing for Gavriil. I don't see the attraction, but.." His attention shifts back to Alex.

Jez [PB 2]: "Gavriil? Over you? Really?" He looks puzzled. "Huh. I don't see it either."

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: "As am I." She nods to Hauser. "It will be quite the event for us, I imagine."

Galen Mackenzie: "Maybe she has a soft spot for uptight prags." Shrugging his shoulders. "You just cutting through the park or something else?"

Jez [PB 2]: "Taking a walk. Sometimes I get restless." A glance towards Hauser and Annika, then back to Galen. "And reckless, I guess."

Alexander Donovan : "Me? Yes. My welcome here is... thin. Though perhaps, not quite as thin as some."

Alexander Donovan : Jez: "Caution has it's place. But sometimes... reckless is better for getting things done."

Jez [PB 2]: Very softly to Alex, "It's not in my blood to run or hide. But let's not talk about it right now."

Alexander Donovan : Alex just gives Jex an understanding pat on the shoulder.

Hauser (PB 4): "Yes, people need to what weakness breeds."

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: "And they will," she says with a smile. Something in her voice of conviction, absolute belief and faith in herself, the man with her, their companions, and their cause. "Soon enough, Sir."

Galen Mackenzie: Speaking to both Alex and Jez. "Think I'll try my luck at finding something decent to eat. I'm starting to think I'm going to have to learn to cook for myself or find a gel that knows how."

Jez [PB 2]: He nods to Alex and Galen, peeling away from the duo to walk past them and over to a bench to sit down alone.

Jez [PB 2]: The nod to Galen being a nod of goodbye.

Hauser (PB 4): "Yes, and when are you going to put that shrivel dick in his place?" he asks with a little grin and glance towards Jez.

Galen Mackenzie: ((afk, just told the cat is making hacking sounds))

Alexander Donovan : Alex grins. "Always nice to have a fallback plan. I have both options available."

Jez [PB 2]: ((*snerks*)) Oblivious to the conversation between the Fenrir-types, he looks up at the moon.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: She looks over to Jez, the corner of her lip curling up as she murmurs in German to him.

Alexander Donovan : Alex turns and starts back toward where Jez is seated. "So, how are the classes going?"

Hauser (PB 4): He cracks a little grin about what he hears as he listens to Annika before looking back to Jez and Alexander again.

Jez [PB 2]: "Law school doesn't begin until September." He runs a hand through his chaotic hair, making it stick up more. "Four years of intense study, and then after that, no more excuses. I'll be an adult with steady employment and settled down. Time to become a daddy." He grins. "I'm looking forward to it and scared as hell at the same time."

Annika Brandt [PB 5] -> Hauser (PB 4): "Soon, Rhya. His usefulness at being identified with those who flock to his cause is just too much to pass up. I have already identified Nathaniel Dikastis, the Angotti bitch, and a few others who have leapt to his defense."

Alexander Donovan : "Taking about the other classes. Tony misses the first aid stuff."

Jez [PB 2]: He nods. "I don't think I'll have the money to take the more advanced classes, though I'd like to get more weapons and combat training. But some of them get up to five, ten grand!"

Hauser (PB 4): He watches Alexander and Jezebel before looking back over towards Annika again, speaking in German right back once more.

Hauser (PB 4) -> Annika Brandt [PB 5]: "So true... it seems like those against are all eager to take sides publicly while those on our side seem more interested in hiding their support."

Alexander Donovan : "Ouch.... that's steep."

Galen Mackenzie: For a moment he simply observes Jez, and as he doesn't seem worried, he's satisfied to leave him to his own devices. "Pleasure meeting you Alex. See ye later Jez." He gives a curt nod to Hauser and Annika, remaining civil yet aloof, then turns and makes his way to the nearest gate.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: Her brow raises at Hauser's comment, and she answers back with a chuckle.

Jez [PB 2]: He nods. "With my job putting up only half my tuition, I need to be able to afford Columbia. Craven said he would help, but I just don't feel right asking him for money. I don't feel I've earned it. So I gotta start being careful how I throw it around."

Jez [PB 2]: He waves to Galen.

Jez [PB 2]: He runs a hand through his hair again. "I think I might head in deeper, see who's in the clearing tonight." Standing up. "Maybe someone brought coffee."

Galen Mackenzie: ((g'night all *waves around* gone to crash))

Jez [PB 2]: ((Night!))

Alexander Donovan : Alex gives Galen a freindly nod. "Have a good evening." Jez: "Judging weather they're worth the price is the difficult part."

Annika Brandt [PB 5] -> Hauser (PB 4): "More to the point, Rhya...we are united, and they cannot even agree among themselves. The corruption within them cannot even make them agree. You should have seen the group that flocked around the other night. They were arguing among themselves devisively, even when I approached. Just more weakness. I believe they are even recruiting the others to their cause, from the way Malcolm-rhya reacted to two of them, who I could not identify as Garou."

Alexander Donovan : Jez: "Normally... I'd say goodnight at that. But I think tonight I might push my luck a bit."

Jez [PB 2]: "They're worth it. First Defense is an amazing place. I haven't regretted one class there." He smiles. "Goodnight, Alex, take care. Say hello to everyone for me."

Jez [PB 2]: He hesitates. "I don't know, Alex. I don't want you getting into any fights. Particularly on my behalf, should it come up. I mean that. I don't want any shit started." He heads towards the Bramble with a respectful nod to Hauser.

Alexander Donovan : Alex raises his hand. "Not my place to get in a fight with him. At least, not unless he throws the first punch."

Hauser (PB 4): Hauser stands there, listening to what she says thoughtfully before responding back to her in German still while looking seriously now actually and those eyes of his go right to Alexander and Jez, not returning the nod though.

Alexander Donovan : He gives Hauser a smile and a nod as well, respectful... mostly.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: She watches Jez and Alexander heading off toward the center of the Sept and shakes her head a little.

Hauser (PB 4) -> Annika Brandt [PB 5]: "Yes, they are weak and have allowed modern society to cloud their instincts and turn their back on what has been bred into them. Where once pure and proud warriors stood, now we find confused cowards."

Jez [PB 2]: He pauses by Annika, not responding to Alex this close to the other two. "Annika. We need to set a meeting, just you and me, if you're game for it. We need to settle some things, and though I feel a little silly fighting just a girl," he shrugs, "I doubt you'll accept an alternative."

Alexander Donovan : He stops and smiles, listening and waiting with Jez for the answer.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: Her brow raises slightly, and she looks at Jez coldly. "Well, then, you can understand how I would feel, Mr. Talino...fighting a man who would prefer to be one." She shrugs a little. "I am, of course, up to your 'challenge.'" Said as if she doubts it would be much of one.

Hauser (PB 4): He watches the two with more of a feral grin on his lips about what he says to Annika.

Jez [PB 2]: He shudders. "I wouldn't want to be a girl. Just one of many misunderstandings. We'll make arrangements soon, I don't wish to disturb Hauser-rhya," said very softly, "further. Although we could speak more openly in the clearing should you wish it. Your choice." He gives her a partial bow and turns to go.

Alexander Donovan : Alex heads in with Jez. Some might think following, others might think just staying between Jez's back and a cheap shot. Whatever.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: "Later, perhaps." She watches him go, and looks to Hauser, the German coming out once more.

Jez [PB 2]: ((slipping into the sept room))

Annika Brandt [PB 5] -> Hauser (PB 4): "If it pleases you, I should go, Rhya. I have an early day of classes tomorrow."

Hauser (PB 4): He watches Jez go as well.

Hauser (PB 4): He nods to her, and turns towards the Exit as well. Speaking to her in German gack once more.

Hauser (PB 4) -> Annika Brandt [PB 5]: "I shall escort you, since it grows late."

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: She turns to follow, listening to his words, hands folding behind her back as they walk out.

Annika Brandt [PB 5]: "Danke scheon." A respectful nod, and she makes her way out with him.
