As Aleksie eyed his surroundings with curiosity, he reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a box of cigarettes, he lit one and perched it between his lips and walked into the party. After he had made up his mind to ask where he was, he proceeded to walk to the closest person available and asked "Excuse me, would you happen to know where I am?" (Question goes out to anyone wiling to respond.)

"Where are you?", a young girl peeked up to the newcomer. She was about sixteen to seventeen years old, with long, bleach blonde hair and light blue eyes, and a pale complexion; she was wearing a black, one-piece swimsuit. She spoke English in a Southern (US) accent.

"You're a newcomer; another newcomer, but at least your human....right? Anyways, I'm assumin' you're livin' at the apartment buildin' in Bielefeld, so this is a little-known island we use as vacation grounds every now'n'then."

She held out a hand for a shake, being in a friendly manner. "I'm Tora.", She said. It wasn't like the guy could be bad...they woukdnt bring them there if they were. At least he wasn't a pony, either. She was learning to tolerate them, but she obviously greatly preferred an actual human, or at least a humanoid, making it easier to know them and whatnot. Maybe they were a friend of someone here?

Aleksie eyed the girl and turned to face her "Thank you. Tora, was it?" It felt odd to speak english, but what was odder were the names. He gave a brief smile and replied "My name is Aleksie, I am new bartender in Bielefeld." After the sentence was done he realized a mistake in his English, swearing to himself, he proceed to ask about the "Chaos Restaurant".

Germanic Templars wrote:"Here, we'll all go to the compound, and go check the clinic. If he is not there, we go get food. Sound good?"

"It's a deal," she replied.

She lifted Datus into her arms and held out her hand for Katherine to latch on to.

"Barox?" Wren glanced at him from the corner of her eye, "You didn't work on Dr. Smith's project, did you?" She bit her lower lip and silently prayed he hadn't.

"Ah, new bartender? Classy~"

She spun around in her chair, sitting in a "lecturing dad" position to better see the newcomer.

"I only know a bit about Chaos, but my sister might know a bit more. It's right across from the apartments, staffed by some weird folks. I'm not legally aloud to drink....there, anyway, but but they have good alternatives, too. So, are ya goin'' to work there?"

Tiltjuice wrote:"Among this bunch? Yes. I'm not sure how many people have their original bodies anymore. Well, at least it wasn't a portable toilet," Luce offered.

Ray smirked and gave a comic-fueled huff for a brief moment, taking the words into careful consideration. Perhaps he should be more grateful of the new body: after all, he could either be dead or in toilet-form. The thought sent a slight shiver down his spine, sending his hairs standing at the silly yet horrific fate.

"Yes, that's a very good point. Perhaps if I'm bad to the raptors, that's what they'll do to me," he followed up to Luce, giving him a warm smile. "Stuffed full of mechanical contraptions far beyond the scope of the human imagination. Perhaps we should give them more credit: they are geniuses, if maddened ones at that.

"Although...I am a little curious: do you yourself retain your body? I'm sure you must've received some form of modification or another, unless the methods of the Conservators are different than I assumed."

"You would make a nice minion. The job has good pay and benefits, less risk than mooks and goons too. But as for time, we're still working on that." Gretta replied to Torii. She genuinely though that Torii would make a good assistant, and with fewer deaths than the previous interns.

"Yeah, we have fresh waffalo meat everyday." Jenny answered Rachelle. It was what they knew, they had always eaten waffalo meat, the organic fauna whose tissue was engineered to be a waffle like substance. The only difference being of what it looks like before it is cooked and the chemical composure. They had not seen the genuine waffle making process. But kids are kids, and they were happy to be with their friends as the ventured inside the dimly lit house. Long corridors held dangerous secrets.

"I'm...disappointed, if anyone was going to assassinate him it should have been a close frenemy. How could this happen? And why is there still humanity in the far future?" Neil said to Levi with a heartbroken expression that he didn't get to kill Thriller personally, some anonymous anarchic rat beat him to it. It was a great loss that he felt he should be celebrating, but loss was not conceived of. Everything could be brought back if he wanted, but why should Thriller come back? Of course his selfish mind ignored the fact that he made his best friend happy and was married to her.

The first course was served, gourmet prepared meats of various kinds dominated, but the alternatives for vegetarians was soup. There was a wide range that seemed a bit custom to the guests.

Aleksie thought a moment to construct a sentence but only managed "Maybe." before trailing off into thought, over what felt like hours he asked, "Could I speak to your sister?"

"Hmm?", Torii cocked an eyebrow, made more comical by the rarely seen cowlick popping up at the exact same moment. "Sure thing, sir."

She leaned in a bit closer and spoke more softly than before. "Check her, over at the end of the table.", She pointed to her sister. Her sister was a few years older than her, blonde hair and dark blue eyes, a fairer complexion, and a bulge in her belly, which didn't ruin her black bikini one bit.

"She don't think that I know she's pregnant, he he he. She'd nice, though."

Now heeding what Gretta said, Torii whipped back around with a Hally grin. "Really? I'm flattered, miss! Like I said, if ya need help,, I'd be glad to help."

Catherine grabbed onto Wren's hand tightly, while still keeping hold of the toy she brought with her.

"What? What project? I am an Orbital Defense Weapons tech. 4th and 3rd districts barely work with each other as it is, only on a few projects. Like Project: Death's Henchmen. Dunno what that is, but sounds deadly enough. And menacing. Anyway, no I did not."

"It happened by a man..Er, mutant, by a certain name. A nickname for him, though I shall not tell, but rather let it sit in your mind and ponder on. And humanity is that far because of humanity's natural curiosity and hatred of self that drove us far out into the reaches of space, colonizing multiple planets and setting up minor galactic kingdoms, fiefdoms, and empires... All now part of one." Levi explained in full to Neil.

Wren breathed a relieved sigh. "It's just that Dr. Smith, he-" she didn't know how to begin. "I don't agree with-"

Words failed her. "I guess we don't see eye to eye on some Templar programs. Not yours. Orbital Defense is something I an appreciate. It's just-"

She felt as if she were about to put her foot in her mouth. "It's just that I'm tired. Staying up all night to watch you wasn't exactly entertaining except for that snot bubble in your left nostril," she joked to lighten the mood. She smiled at Katherine and gave the child's hand a reassuring squeeze.

"Lead the way, Barox the Knowledgeable One and Tour Guide! I don't know a thing about this compound."

"Vait!"

Her plaited blond hair bounced against her back as she ran. The hem of her soft cotton dress fluttered to reveal a scabbed knee. Her feet were shod in leather sandals that had a pink plastic ladybug holding the laces together.

"Vait, bitte!"

Sophie Von Klaus climbed the front steps and nearly plowed into Jenny. "Bitte, I comen vith, ja? I comen vith you und Menschenkinder?"

"Hmm, maybe I missed the part where someone goes out and hunts a Waffalo. I mean, I've made waffles, but I thought they just came from batter, and boxes and stuff." Rachelle shrugged, still in that wonderful age where one started to grow up, but if the argument sounded good enough, the girl could still be convinced about it. Basically like Santa Claus!

Her head turned when she heard someone shouting "Vait!", spotting Sophie running to catch up with her. Rachelle didn't know exactly who Sophie was, but she looked adorable!

Now that their group could rival that of any adults, Rachelle followed along with the Raptor chicks.

(Sorry I haven't been very active. =[ )


Calvin sat in place, leaned up against a rock just under a particularly short palm tree that provided small sums of shade. He was, as per usual, not here because he wanted to, but by the will of the Assistant. Finally having found a secure location, it wouldn't leave Calvin alone otherwise. So, he sat in the dirt waiting for the Assistant to finish doing whatever it had decided to start,

"Thank you." Walked toward her sister, he said one last thing, "Oh, and if you can give me zome idea about what my new home will be like, zhat would be great!"

"I'd he happy to tell ya later.", Torii nodded. "Just come and see me, mister."

Her sister kicked back in her seat and eyed the newcomer, too. Tora had sent him her way....

"Hello.", She said to him. Her accent was more refined than her sister's. "I see you're speaking with my sibling?", She asked. "You are new, no?"

The twins followed along.

"That's Mr. Klaus' daughter, Sophie," Sydney whispered to Rachelle. We've play with her before. She's very nice, but her English isn't too good. She's just a nice human like you, only Miss Minerva saved her from a house fire and brought her to live with her dad here. She likes playing jump rope, and she's really good at hide and seek. But she's scared of fire because she almost died in one."

Siduer glowered at Sophie, but a little less than he did Rachel. In a way, Sophie was sorta family, like an odd cousin. She didn't know how to play cowboy because she'd never heard of them, but she played Blitzkrieg really well, and always hit paper London targets with her rocks. He shrugged and followed Swift into the house.

"Da. She told me you could tell me about 'The Chaos restaurant'?" He fixes his hair and slumps of his coat.

"Lead the way, Barox the Knowledgeable One and Tour Guide! I don't know a thing about this compound."

"Trust me, it's hard to be around some of the scientists. Some are said to be boarder line manic due to working with some mentally disturbed patients they have been trying to cure over the years." He remarked as he lead them onto the compound grounds, passed the automatic gate that opened for him upon facial recognition. A minute later they would arrive outside the clinic. Barox held open the door so that Wren and the kids could enter in first.

"Ah, yes, that I can, sir.", She nodded and sat up. "Allow me to introduce myself first: Katya Dimitrova, Tora's sister.", She extended an arm for a shake. "And Chaos? It's a nice little place right across from the apartment where we live. They serve a little bit of everything, including alcohol, of which they have quite the variety of native and exotic types. The staff are strange, but sociable people as well, and I personally know a few of them."

Neil steamed with rage, but kept his polite composure... *shatter* ...the teacup in his claw was crushed to bits, liquid fell to the table as Neil wiped the tea off his claw. "So nice to hear that...you know if Baane is in all possible universes at the same time, you guys can take care of yourselves as I aid my own kind in a more permanent solution to ensure our existence. I'm sure the finest Raptor minds are already devising something as we speak." Neil replied politely as he took another teacup.

Aleksie shakes her hand, "Its nice to meet you Katya. Aleksie Bogdanovitch, Bartender.", He adjusts his glasses, "Thank you for the information." He smiles slightly, "Do you think anyone wants a drink? I know I do."

"Aaah, guessing by the name, You're Russian, right? Slavic, at least? There's quite a few of us here, I believe.", Katya said. "As for drinks, I would guess that at least a few of our group should be in want of a drink, though I believe it would be most appropriate to ask first."

She patted her stomach lightly. "As for me, I wish I could have some wine, but that has to wait."

"Riight.. Now if Thriller were here, he'd want to make a joint agreement, partnership-type-thingy... Anyway, he would want to promote synergy among all species not just humans. Why? Cause he's just nice like that. Me, i'd say burn all mother f*ckers that gave a stink eye towards a man." He then sighed with an apathetic look on his face. "But what do I know? I am the evil, insane, and all malevolent android with a bit of Thriller."

Wren set Datus down with a firm, "Don't touch anything without permission" finger wag. She wasn't too concerned with Katherine; the little girl was very cautious and didn't seem prone to poking things she shouldn't.

"What is this place, Barox? I thought the Island was for holidays. Vacations, you know? That thing people take so they have an excuse to not work."

She chuckled as she eyed the various equipment. "I'm going to spray you with synth skin just so you can sit on the beach with me. Maybe we'll do vacation-y stuff? Fly a kite, or look for shells? Isn't that what people do when in this environment?"

Wren hadn't experienced a vacation before. She'd read about them and seen postcards from her father.
