Making A Comeback

"Apologies," Hector looked a little apologetic, but still grinned. "Times have been harsh on all of us, and I am grateful to you. Perhaps we could patrol the perimeter and look out for would-be assassins?"

*Tirea tries Euryale*
---
*Eve starts making new copies of her lost documents*

Gabe joins in on the silent judging.

Mortal looked confused, "What? It's true. People are in a very vulnerable state, and you can just... swoop in." She even made a motion with her hands resembling a bird swooping in a snatching up prey.

"Yeah, I'm going to suggest you ignore Mortal's advice," Gabe said, "Just be yourself. If she falls for you make sure she falls for the real you, and not a shoulder she can cry on. When she stops crying she won't need you anymore."

Mortal folded her arms, "Just going to throw it out there that I'm the one in a relationship with a beautiful, and talented woman, but fine, don't listen to my advice."

R"Okay, I won't. Hey, do Tirea or Ven know that we're planning things?"

*Incidentally, the phone rings, so Euryale gets up to get it.*

E"That might be one of them. Hello?"
================================
*Kane smiles.*

Kane<Yes, I think that would be helpful.>

"It was Tirea's idea in the first place," Gabe said, "I don't know about Ven. I didn't get in touch with her yet."

{Hey Euryale! It's Tirea. I was just taking to Noct about doing something at her place later tonight. Could you pass on the message to the others?}

OOC: Well, good, I was rather hoping we'd sort things out before I got in the shower. I gotta work on my administrative consistency.

E"Well, they're right here, so just hold on, lemme see if they have any questions."

*She turns.*

E"Hey, it's Tirea. She says they're thinking of doing something at Noct's tonight."

"Oh, great," Gabe said, "That means that Ven knows. One less phone call to make."

"Wait, is it a formal thing?" Mortal asked.

{Oh, awesome! Gabe wasn't picking up so I though she might be with you.}

E"Yeah, she's with us. And I don't know, Mortal. Mortal wants to know if this is a formal occasion. I wouldn't think so, but I dunno, I wasn't there."

R"Have you ever actually heard of holding the mouthpiece away from you when talking to people in the room?"

E"I want everyone to feel like they're in the same conversation, Roatha."

"Yes, but it could kind of be confusing to the person on the other end of the phone call," Gabe pointed out.

"Whenever she addresses someone other than Tirea she says their name to avoid confusion," Mortal pointed out.

Hector nodded to him and left the room, along with the other two. He told Eduj to walk up and down the corridor immediately outside of Zolt's room, had Stefan head to the reception and keep a look out, and started wandering through the hospital's various accessible corridors and stairwells.

OOC: TIMESKIP, MOTHAFUCKAS!

E"I'll be out in a minute, then we can pick up Gabe & Roatha & head on over to Astarte's!"

*Euryale exits the bathroom in a blue dress with a red waist tie & cloche hat.*

E"So, this is the surprise. Team colors! What do you think?"

*She spreads her arms & turns around so that Mortal can see the whole ensemble.*
=============================
*It's been several long hours with not shit happening at the hospital.*

Gabe was wearing a simple white dress, and was chillin' on her couch, waiting for Mortale.

--

Mortal, wearing a green dress, smiled up at Euryale from her seat on the bed, "You look great, babe."

--

Noct made sure the catering, and house was in order, and was simply waiting for everyone to arrive. Of course she was wearing a simple black dress.

Astarte waited at home on the couch, in a pale blue dress with her hair up in a French roll, wearing her citrus-orange perfume.

The trio continued patrol, breaking occasionally for drinks.

E"Thanks! So, how 'bout you get Gabby, & I get Roatha?"
===========================
*Ven comes out of her room wearing her usual clothing.*
===========================
*Eventually, Kane approaches Hector.*

Kane<Have you found anything?>

*Tirea puts on a turquoise blue, knee length, sleeveless dress. She is also wearing matching flats, and Tirea French braids her hair and adds some butterfly clips*
---
*Eve heads to Harmony Tower*

Noct noticed Ven and said, "You know. We should go clothes shopping at some point."

--

"Sure thing," Mortal stood up and gave Euryale a quick kiss, "See you in a bit." With that she walked over to go and get Gabe.

--

Gabe opens her door when some asshole started banging on it like they were the police, "Oh, hey Mortal. Are we ready to go?"

"Yes, ma'am," Mortal said.

"Okay... just let me get my keys," Gabe scrambled around for a second to find her keys, and rushed back to the door, "Alright, lets get going."

*And so they meet Euryale & Roatha, who has not dressed differently at all, & set off down the hall.*

R"So, are we walking there?"

E"Nah, someone's gotta pick up Tirea, & she doesn't live around here."
============================
V"...You don't like my clothes?"
============================
*A new feature on the tower tonight is a trio of Metalbending Police walking around the observation deck. Because of general wariness of the police, the crowd is at less than half of the usual.*

"Oh, does she know we're picking her up?" Gabe asked, "I forgot to call her when I got back home."

--

"I think they're fine, but shopping for more clothes is fun," Noct said, "Besides, you have money now, so there is no reason you can't pamper yourself with new luxuries."

*Eve heads up to them*

<Excuse me, is something up?>
---
*Tirea heads down stairs*

<Dad, can you take me?>

*Tirea's father shakes his head, and goes back to work. Tirea groans and heads outside, not having any choice but to walk*

E"Probably not. I think it'll be fine, let's just get in the car as quick as possible."
=================================
*He looks at her like she's the scum on his shoe.*

<Increased patrols to deal with the Triad remnants.>
=================================
V"Hm...I'll have to wait until my family sends back whatever they don't need."

"Oh, that's right," Noct said, "Wait, I thought you came here to provide for your family. Now that you can why do you choose to stay instead of returning to them? Not that I'm complaining."

--

"Well, lets go," Gabe said.

V"I need to buy a home & keep making money in the city."
================================
*And so eventually they're knock-knock-knockin' on Astarte's door.*

Astarte opened the door slightly and peeked out, and then opened it fully, "Hello."

"Nothing so far," Hector replied.
