Personification Life - IC Part VIII [open]

[Erucia]

"Yeah, but as I said, why not wait until I get back? It will give us both something to look forward too!" Albert said, picking up Ray again and heading for the living room, so they could cuddle on the couch a little.

"Well, if you really want," Ray blushed from being picked up, as he was only wearing a shirt and g-string, and swished his tail back and forth. "I-I mean, they are a nice shade of purple..."

"..... Maybe I can take one pair with me, to try on.... I do love purple...." Albert said, sitting down on the couch and setting Ray next to him happily, following up with a kiss.

[Erucia]

"..... Maybe I can take one pair with me, to try on.... I do love purple...." Albert said, sitting down on the couch and setting Ray next to him happily, following up with a kiss.

"Mm, I think you would look awful cute in them," Ray giggled and then fell into Albert's lap, laying down on his stomach and stretching out. "I would love to see you in them...Just once, before you leave?"

[Swith Witherward]

"Okay everyone!" Minerva spoke up a little so people towards the back could hear. "There's a little pub a block from the building. It's called the Wilting Succubus. It's where my lads hang out... actually, they run it. BUT, unlike Chaos, there aren't any ears listening in, AND unlike Chaos, the first round is on the house. Everyone alright with that? And would someone see if people in the building want to come with? They'll want to know what the fuss is about."

She placed her hand on Bran's shoulder. "If you need extra stuff like diapers or wipes, just ask. We're always running errands in the city. I could have one of my lads pick some up. Or, if you like, you can borrow a bag from us. We have families here. Infants, toddlers and school-aged children. Not many people realize that."

Minerva craned her neck to look up at the Raptor. It'd been a few months since she'd stood next to an Astartes. She'd almost forgotten how lively the mutated ones were. "Yes, Volturius, we'd be delighted if you joined us for a drink. Miss Tipper as well. She can have tea or some lemonade."

The little cultist smiled in Minerva's direction and slipped her hand around the Raptor's wing tip.

"Nah." Albert teased, smiling coyly. "You'll have to wait to see that until I get back. That will give you something to look forward to, won't it?" Albert asked, before kissing Ray's nose.

"I can call Albert and Ray, they would likely want to know about this, but I think they were asleep when the telegrams were delivered." Jacob said, pulling out his phone and beginning to send a text to his brother.

"Whaat kiind oof drriinks doo deeii haawe aat daat taaweerrn, Miineerrwaa?" Sig asked, looking over at the cultist with an expression that showed his curiosity.

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

Neil and Gretta had been silent throughout the interview with the government, their eyes twitched at mention of their eating habits and that they were watched. How much did they know? Fortu took it a bit better since he was worried only being an accomplice to the others and his Nicaraguan medical license being invalid.

"I can't, I don't want to fight. I have vowed to do no harm." Fortu said.

"I can't believe he called us lawless, just because we follow our own. If I want to build a death-ray in my backyard or turn monuments into tofu, that is my right as a superior species! But we could use the money...Arthur and Nevvie won't mind being consultants." Neil said.

"Hey, I have had a rough week going through withdrawal since Fortu threw away some of my medications. But I do need something to do since the psychiatry practice is taking a downturn due to my patients getting transferred." Arthur said as he groaned and held his head smudging his sunglasses.

"Neil, you and I can't do this due to...you know, and having to raise a family. We need to allocate our risks." Gretta advised Neil.

"I will not on the principle of the matter." NVE said.

The five members of the Raptor Faction looked to where they expected Nevvie, but they made her stay with Scarface to look after the chicks.

"I'm sure she will be a consultant as well." Arthur said.

[Erucia]

"Nah." Albert teased, smiling coyly. "You'll have to wait to see that until I get back. That will give you something to look forward to, won't it?" Albert asked, before kissing Ray's nose.

"Ugh! Stop screwing me over!", Ray playfully pouted and rested his snout against his arms, trying to hit Albert by twirling his legs.

[Transgravitas Directorate]

Jacob noticed, and he waved to Luce. "Hey, Luce. How are you doing?" He asked politely. "What is your opinion on the meeting we just were at?" He looked over at Minerva she she spoke, and said, "Sure, I can join you there." Sig also agreed, in his heavy accent of course.

"I'm not sure what to make of it really," Luce said, hiding his thoughts in favor of learning the others. "And yourself?"

[The BranRiech]

"Well, I'll wait at the door." Bran said and went to wait. Frankly, the giant Chaos Marine scared him, much like Deuce, but Deuce was nicer, and so was Cerril.

[Swith Witherward]

"I can call Albert and Ray, they would likely want to know about this, but I think they were asleep when the telegrams were delivered." Jacob said, pulling out his phone and beginning to send a text to his brother.

"Whaat kiind oof drriinks doo deeii haawe aat daat taaweerrn, Miineerrwaa?" Sig asked, looking over at the cultist with an expression that showed his curiosity.

"Ales, wines, and other spirits," Minerva replied. "A few things not commonly found in this dimension as well. Sumbel also. I think we carry a sweet ale or two that you'd feel at home with."

She followed Bran. "I've got to get some diapers. We'll meet you all there."

She exited the building with him (because using magic inside it would have pissed the government off, as she'd learned in a Drone Invasion-era moment). She helped him unlock his bike and then used her abilities to slip across town (with a quick stop at a store for baby things.

"Alright, let's get these diapers dropped off and see who can join us for a meeting."

[New Aksarben]

Jacob noticed, and he waved to Luce. "Hey, Luce. How are you doing?" He asked politely. "What is your opinion on the meeting we just were at?" He looked over at Minerva she she spoke, and said, "Sure, I can join you there." Sig also agreed, in his heavy accent of course.

"I'm not sure what to make of it really," Luce said, hiding his thoughts in favor of learning the others. "And yourself?"

"That it might be useful to have some of the people at the building actually get organized in our defenses, and those of the city. Also, it might give people something to do, so that they aren't causing as much trouble for the City," Jacob said with a shrug.

"Nah." Albert teased, smiling coyly. "You'll have to wait to see that until I get back. That will give you something to look forward to, won't it?" Albert asked, before kissing Ray's nose.

"Ugh! Stop screwing me over!", Ray playfully pouted and rested his snout against his arms, trying to hit Albert by twirling his legs.

Albert chuckled and said, "We probably should get properly dressed, and maybe get something to eat. I think I can smell Blossom cooking something, by the way!"

[Transgravitas Directorate]

"That it might be useful to have some of the people at the building actually get organized in our defenses, and those of the city. Also, it might give people something to do, so that they aren't causing as much trouble for the City," Jacob said with a shrug.

"Perhaps so," Luce allowed. "I had thought you all were doing a more or less good job, though. After all, the only casualties in the last major disaster were among us."

"Perhaps so," Luce allowed. "I had thought you all were doing a more or less good job, though. After all, the only casualties in the last major disaster were among us."

"Yes, but most of the defense was very disorganized until Primordial took command. Before that, people were more or less just shooting into the air wildly, hoping it would help." Jacob said with a sigh, "My brother included. But I suppose that we did to a good job at defending the city,only getting it a tiny bit annihilated from the surface of Earth."

[Torsiedelle]

The sisters were pissed, needless to say. They had made their way back to the apartment, and immediately went about packing their weapons and equipment into cases and hiding them. Katya took the laptop she had gotten earlier and made sure nobody had seen the military secrets in it. She made sure to add the city's surveillance of them to her report for the month before sending the already-late document. Afterwards, the sisters packed up and walked into the halls for a brake.

[Erucia]

Albert chuckled and said, "We probably should get properly dressed, and maybe get something to eat. I think I can smell Blossom cooking something, by the way!"

"Alright, since I'm apparently flea-ridden and no one will pet me...", Ray muttered on and skipped over to the bedroom, grabbing a belt and blue jeans.

[The BranRiech]

"Sure, and then we go for a drink? Oh, you must see the baby!" Bran chuckled happily. "And then we can go for a meeting, and to the pub." He suggested. He kept shooting glances to Voltarius, frightened by his frightening appearance.

[New Aksarben]

Albert chuckled and said, "We probably should get properly dressed, and maybe get something to eat. I think I can smell Blossom cooking something, by the way!"

"Alright, since I'm apparently flea-ridden and no one will pet me...", Ray muttered on and skipped over to the bedroom, grabbing a belt and blue jeans.

"Who ever said that?" Albert asked, giggling at the skipping Ray was doing. Which was something he hadn't seen Ray do before. Albert followed along behind, and got a t-shirt to put on, with his normal jacket of course.

"I'm sure that if we go out, I may need a shower. Because apparently, that's why no one wants to pet me!", Ray continued to tease and went back into the kitchen to find Blossom.

[Transgravitas Directorate]

"Perhaps so," Luce allowed. "I had thought you all were doing a more or less good job, though. After all, the only casualties in the last major disaster were among us."

"Yes, but most of the defense was very disorganized until Primordial took command. Before that, people were more or less just shooting into the air wildly, hoping it would help." Jacob said with a sigh, "My brother included. But I suppose that we did to a good job at defending the city,only getting it a tiny bit annihilated from the surface of Earth."

"True, I suppose so. Something to think about."

[New Aksarben]

"Who ever said that?" Albert asked, giggling at the skipping Ray was doing. Which was something he hadn't seen Ray do before. Albert followed along behind, and got a t-shirt to put on, with his normal jacket of course.

"I'm sure that if we go out, I may need a shower. Because apparently, that's why no one wants to pet me!", Ray continued to tease and went back into the kitchen to find Blossom.

Albert rolled his eyes, and followed along behind Ray. "Well, maybe I can pet you later, but I want to get something to eat. We slept in till at least noon or something! and I am getting quite hungry!"

"Maybe if this goes through, we will be able to respond even faster, because those who will be defending the city will already know the plan, and who to report to to get their orders." Jacob said, with a nod. "Well, we should probably get to that pub, and not keep Minerva waiting for us."

[Transgravitas Directorate]

"Maybe if this goes through, we will be able to respond even faster, because those who will be defending the city will already know the plan, and who to report to to get their orders." Jacob said, with a nod. "Well, we should probably get to that pub, and not keep Minerva waiting for us."

"Your servant; lead on," answered Luce, getting ready to follow Jacob. There was a decent side to him, the Conservator thought, which explained a few things.

"Your servant; lead on," answered Luce, getting ready to follow Jacob. There was a decent side to him, the Conservator thought, which explained a few things.

Jacob nodded, and asked, "Well, who all is still here that's heading for the pub? I want to know if we're taking a bus, or a taxi." Sig silently waited, not quite sure what they were talking about.

[Erucia]

Albert rolled his eyes, and followed along behind Ray. "Well, maybe I can pet you later, but I want to get something to eat. We slept in till at least noon or something! and I am getting quite hungry!"

"Well, I am too! Does Blossom know how to cook anything, or should we dig into the fridge?", Ray replied as he made his way into the kitchen.

[Transgravitas Directorate]

Jacob nodded, and asked, "Well, who all is still here that's heading for the pub? I want to know if we're taking a bus, or a taxi." Sig silently waited, not quite sure what they were talking about.

"I think it's just the three of us," Luce said, after looking around the room.

[New Aksarben]

Albert rolled his eyes, and followed along behind Ray. "Well, maybe I can pet you later, but I want to get something to eat. We slept in till at least noon or something! and I am getting quite hungry!"

"Well, I am too! Does Blossom know how to cook anything, or should we dig into the fridge?", Ray replied as he made his way into the kitchen.

"Well, she is a 700-something year old Vampire, so she's had a lot of experience. She is a pretty good cook." Albert responded, wondering how Ray would respond to knowing that he was both the youngest in the apartment by far, and the only one who wasn't supernatural in some way or another.

"Well, we can take a taxi then. I can pay for it, okay?" Jacob offered, trying to hail a taxi as they stepped outside of the building.
