[Hotel] “I s'pose.” Sire shrugged. He had rarely concerned himself with matters of politics. He had followed the Legion for power, and started working with Jade for power (and other reasons). Rouge was just the latest 'boss' he'd serve until she couldn't help him any longer. “Hey! I didn't expect some dumb kids to be that smart!” Sire complained loudly. “Doesn't matter. Next time I'm going to personally gut those meatsacks! Maybe I'll skin 'em and use the skin for a towel...” [Apartment] As the door opened, Connor looked up to see the unfamiliar couple with the familiar look. He smiled at them and stood up, walking over and extending his hand to shake with them. “It's good to meet you. I can't tell you how many times your son saved our butts back in the day.” Connor was sure they'd heard those stories before, if not from Edda, then just from the general public. The war had been a very well-known thing. “What kinda name is Bedwyr?” Caitlin tilted her head. “That sounds made up.” “Caitlin!” Connor groaned. “I'm sorry about that.” |

-Apartment- Bedwyr laughed at Caitlyn's comment, bending down so he was more on level with the girl. “It's a very old name, for a place far across the ocean, before the Flare,” Bedwyr said, “It's named after a legendary knight, and an epic tale of kings and swords, of magic and betrayal. Would you like to hear it?” Evelyn smiled at her husband, then nodded towards the others. “It's very nice to meet you all. I'll go check in on the others here.” She turned to the other room for now. Liam hurried up and got in the bed, looking at all the paper flowers Rue made. “Ohhhh... Rue made a lot of flowers!” Liam said, picking one up. “She's really good at these!” Edda smiled, pausing for a moment as he heard voices. They sounded like... The door opened, and he relaxed, seeing his mother peering in now. “Mom!” Edda said, relief on his face, “You got here!” “Gramma!” Liam said, smiling brightly, “You're here too!” Evelyn smiled, walking in and looking over everyone, “How are you all doing? Are you making sure my son here isn't getting into too much trouble, Chloe?” -Military Base- “Okay,” Blake said, sitting down now and staring at Kanna, “So the shadows never hurt you?” “Can't you make Jason do that?” Galv sighed, sitting up now and rubbing his eyes, looking over towards Joyce. “It means Kanna drank too much grown up juice, and it's hurting her now.” |

[Apartment] Chloe grinned as Liam rushed to her side, the woman carefully pulling her son against her chest in a tight hug. “Ohhhh... Rue made a lot of flowers! She's really good at these!” "She did, I'll really need to thank her!" she said, moving back to look at the boy. She wasn't sure what she was expecting- he looked just fine....Paul did a wonderful job keeping him safe. She pulled him close again "Oh miho..." Suddenly the door cracked open and a familiar face was seen. “How are you all doing? Are you making sure my son here isn't getting into too much trouble, Chloe?” "Trying, though lately it seems like it's the opposite" Chloe joked, carefully making the move to pull herself up off the bed to properly greet Edda's mother. She carefully leaned on Edda to keep her balance. "It's great to see you" [...] “It's a very old name, for a place far across the ocean, before the Flare, It's named after a legendary knight, and an epic tale of kings and swords, of magic and betrayal. Would you like to hear it?” "Caitlin doesn't have much of an attention span but I would like to hear it!" Rue exclaimed, no longer timid around Liam's grandfather, but instead slightly star-struck. She didn't have grandparents of her own (though she didn't know the oh so fun story of what happened to them) so hearing about Liam's was always a treat. [Military Base] Kanna blinked, Blake's question coming totally out of left field. She rubbed her eyes, sitting up properly. "No....My shadows don't hurt me. Do yours hurt you?" [...] "Hey don't try and drag me into this!" Jason suddenly exclaimed, having been walking by at the perfect time. He was now poking his head into their room. "She's your mother too you know" Melanie reasoned, burying her head back against a pillow. Joyce watched on amused. "Yeah, but I dealt with her for six years before you were even born" Jason retorted. "So go make up for those six years " With a loud groan Melanie got up, picking Joyce up off the bed with her. "Come on love" “It means Kanna drank too much grown up juice, and it's hurting her now.” "Maybe I should get her some of our juice, it doesn't hurt me' Melanie couldn't help but to giggle. [Hotel] “Doesn't matter. Next time I'm going to personally gut those meatsacks! Maybe I'll skin 'em and use the skin for a towel...” Jade wrinkled her nose, thinking of Sire's threat. "They're children...Your skin towel would be much too small...But you can have the lifeless sacks of their parents too...After I bend all the blood out of their bodies." Jade and Sire are EFFED up. "What I really want to do is bypass this Rouge chick and get in with the people who are really pulling the strings for a revolution...Wouldn't you like to have a bit of power alongside all the death?" [Flashback] Chloe was standing in the mirror, staring at herself with a look of utter.....Annoyance. It wasn't often that the woman wasn't comfortable in her own skin, but today Chloe had given up her usual shorts and oversized shirts, dirty tank tops and sneakers for....A dress. She only owned one (they weren't very practical while in the wilderness) and it was more of a sundress than anything fancy, but it still made her feel (and look) like a boy in a dress. Usually she would say screw it and toss the thing in a fire, but today she wanted to at least attempt to look nice. This was the first time she and Edda were in the same city as Edda's mother and father and they insisted on meeting her properly tonight. She wasn't going to lie, the idea was a little terrifying.... Chloe's parents had issues...Issues that she still refused to talk about, even with Edda. Her own father was probably the biggest cause of anxiety in her life- and that was something considering she had fought for her life multiple times. He was a terrifying person- even if she hadn't seen him since she was twelve. "They're nothing like him. Surely they're normal" she mumbled, staring into the mirror to now tame her messy bob of hair.

-Apartment- Evelyn smiled at Chloe, “It's very good to see you as well. You all really should visit more often. It's always nice seeing my family.” Which she included Chloe as, of course. “There's some trouble now though... from the past, maybe. We're not sure...” Edda sighed, “But we're gonna figure it out, and stop it.” Evelyn smiled, nodding to him, “Well that's why we're here, to help look after the kids. I'd love to spend more time with my adorable grandson and his friends... Though speaking of which, have you two ever put any thought into any more grandchildren?” Bedwyr laughed some, nodding towards Rue, “Well I'm sure she'd love this story, from what Liam has told me. I bet you will as well! It has everything in it.” -Military Base- “No...sometimes they... she... wants to hurt others,” Blake said quietly, “But Momma and Daddy say hurting people is bad, so I tell her not to.” He was quiet for another moment, sucking on his thumb before he pulled it out and spoke again, “When my shadows aren't out, I think it hurts. Like something inside me I can't get out. Your shadows aren't like that? Momma and Daddy don't know that... I don't want them worried more about me.” “Ohhhh, I'll make some coffee for Kanna!” Erin said, joining in now, “And everyone else too!” Galv sat bolt upright, looking terrified. He had tried Erin's coffee once when visiting, attempting to be polite. It was something he wouldn't even wish on his worst enemy. Which may be Kanna, as it so happens. “Dear, maybe you should go and make the coffee first. And quickly,” Galv said to Melanie. -Flashback- Edda probably could have told Chloe she didn't need to wear a dress to meet his parents, but he very rarely saw her in one, and he, at least, thought she looked beautiful in them. “Normal? My parents aren't that normal, where did you think I got it from?” Edda said, speaking from the doorway now, thinking Chloe was talking about his parents, and not her own. “We should get going soon here, Chloe,” Edda said, stepping forward, “You know you look great in that dress.” |

-Apartment- Chloe smiled at Evelyn, remembering how much she liked Edda's mom. She was very kind, and great with Liam. She was what she pictured in her head when someone was talking about their mother. “Well that's why we're here, to help look after the kids. I'd love to spend more time with my adorable grandson and his friends... Though speaking of which, have you two ever put any thought into any more grandchildren?” Instantly Chloe's face went red, the poor girl flustered. To be totally honest Liam had been a happy accident, and she hoping he was a one-time thing. The idea of being pregnant again and having to navigate her way through ANOTHER baby was almost as terrifying as being shot in the stomach less than twelve hours ago. "I-I should be getting something to e-eat" she managed, looking to Liam. "Liam, come on you need breakfast too" She would have lifted the boy up or given him a piggyback, but due to her current circumstances she just took his hand and slipped out of the room towards the kitchen. [...] "What? No breakfast in bed? Does a girl have to almost die before she can get some eggs?" Sarai looked over to see Chloe once again conscious and carefully making her way into the kitchen. She seemed a bit slower in her movements but she was up and walking on her own which was a massive improvement from last night. "Miss Chloe you're okay!" Rue exclaimed "Did you like the flowers?" Chloe grinned, nodding. "I did miha, thank you! And of course i'm okay! I'm me! Nothing can keep me down!" she then looked at Connor "Of course it does help that your dad is there to save my butt" "Are you sure you're okay?" Sarai asked, placing a plate of food in front of both she and Liam. Chloe nodded "Just a little woozy, I assume all my blood ended up on the floor since I feel close to empty. Just gotta eat something- right doc?" she asked, referring back to Connor. -Military Base- Melanie groaned, rushing out of the room to hopefully beat Erin to the coffee lest she kill them all. [...] Kanna blinked, now sitting up fully, motioning for the boy to sit beside her. "Her? She's a girl? Does she have a name?" “When my shadows aren't out, I think it hurts. Like something inside me I can't get out. Your shadows aren't like that? Momma and Daddy don't know that... I don't want them worried more about me.” "Sometimes mine hurt "Blake?" Melanie asked, holding a cup of coffee for her mother, but not expecting to see the little boy. -Flashback- Chloe turned quickly, face going a bit red as her new soon-to-be husband commented from the doorway. She fiddled with the small gold band on her finger, tiny but exactly what she preferred considering she sucked at keeping nice things....Well nice. "In the grand scheme of things your parents are VERY normal." She said, turning around. "And I feel like an idiot in this. Like a ten year old playing in my mom's closet." “You know you look great in that dress.” Chloe paused, giving a tiny smile. It only lasted a second. "Do you think they'll like me? I mean, i'm pretty cool but i'm pretty sure i'm not what people imagine when they think of their son's fiance." |

[Apartment] Caitlin frowned and elbowed her sister in the side. “Hey! I do too have an attention span! At least for stuff like this. Tell me!” Then Chloe interrupted the possible storytelling session as she arrived. Caitlin rushed over, watching her apprehensively. She had heard what happened and frowned at the idea of her aunt being in pain. She stood beside Rue, but remained quiet for a moment. Connor, meanwhile, nodded towards Chloe. “Food will definitely help, but you should take it easy today.” [Hotel] “Heh, fair enough.” Sire grinned in his demented way. “They're well overdue for some pain.” He listened as Jade made her true intentions known. One of his eyebrows raised and he leaned back against the wall, absently fiddling with the knife in his hand. “So let's bypass her? What's the catch? You gotta have some idea who she's working with.” Sire wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. |

[Hotel] "I have an idea....But i'm not 100% sure" Jade answered, casually plopping another chocolate in her mouth. She chewed slowly and eyed the boy as if debating something horrible. Of course she went with it. "Of course we could find out..." The woman stood up, going over to the man. She grinned the same grin that she had whens he was about to kill someone [Apartment] "Aye aye captain" Chloe said to Connor, now looking down at both concerned little girls. "Don't worry querida, i'm okay, just a little less awesome than I usually am. But that'll change once I eat" She carefully took a seat, digging into the food Sarai placed in front of her at a breakneck speed. From her spot Sarai bit her lip. "Y-You're going to get yourself sick" she warned. "E-Eating that fast" “Food will definitely help, but you should take it easy today.” Chloe looked over to Connor, mouthful of food "I've been unconscious for god knows how long, I obviously need to get back to training. Can't have a repeat of last night" Despite her worry-free tone she was in fact deeply bothered by what happened in her fight with Rouge. She almost died after all.... |

[Hotel] Sire raised an eyebrow at Jade. He knew that grin, and how dangerous it could be – but Sire was a homicidal sociopath and didn't process fear in the way normal healthy human brain's do. “I guess?” [Apartment] “No training today.” Connor frowned as he stared at Chloe with the same sort of look he usually reserved for Caitlin when she was about to do something stupid and dangerous. “You need to actually REST. My healing only goes so far, you have to actually give your body a break.” “You can have my food if it helps...” Caitlin offered. She didn't like seeing Chloe looking defeated. |

[Hotel] Jade plopped down next to Sire, still looking like a black widow about to have her way with him (not that he would mind) "Remeber Autumn? I worked for him back in the day, may or may not have played closet tango with? Well word is he had a family once, and a cute little darling daughter who is probably a pretty pissed off woman by now" [Apartment] “No training today.” Chloe groaned "Geeeeeez dad, I don't need you worrying about me tooooooo." she looked to Caitlin "Is he always this protective?" From her spot Rue nodded, giggling a bit. "Even more for us!" “You can have my food if it helps...” "Don't let your daddy scare you, i'm okay! But thank you miha" Chloe said, ruffling the little girl's hair. She did have to admit se was still pretty wiped though..... "I need to at least look into that woman some more...Whatever she was is not normal, and that coming from a girl who can bench-press a car." Chloe stated, now looking serious. "She can't be working alone, or even just with Jade....What would they have to gain from coming back now....." |

[Hotel] Sire's eyes widened for a moment. Though he had never worked for the Enclave, he remembered the name Autumn. He was known for his brutality and lack of compassion – traits Sire could admire. “... You know, I remember hearing that a bunch of the old Enclave soldiers refused to fall in line with the new government and took off into the wastelands. If Autumn had a kid, I bet she'd be with them. Especially if she's the revenge type.” [Apartment] “One of us has to worry about you.” Connor sighed, but then he reflected on what else she had to say and rubbed his chin. “You're right, though. She definitely wasn't normal... and that could be to our advantage. Someone with powers like that and enough clout and money to hire Jade? That's the kind of person who can make an impression.” He leaned back in his chair. “Maybe my contact will know something. Musashi said she's very knowledgeable about the criminal underworld.” Caitlin ignored all the foreboding conversations and just looked up at Chloe. “It's really cool you're better already... when I grow up, can I be just like you?” Connor groaned. |

-Apartment- Evelyn smiled softly at Chloe's reaction, waiting until she and Liam left to get some breakfast, turning back to Edda. “How are you holding up, dear?” she asked. Edda sighed slightly, running a hand through his hair, “I'm... okay. Part of me just wants to take Chloe and Liam and head into the Wastes or something. There's no way these guys could track us through there, not unless I wanted them too. But a bigger part of me knows I can't do that, I got to stay and help my friends.” Evelyn nodded, staring closely at her son for a moment, before he continued. “...But the biggest part of me just... wants revenge. That woman who almost killed Chloe... that guy who tried to kill me son. I want them dead, I want them buried in some nameless hole in the middle of nowhere so no one even remembers who they are.” Liam followed his mother out into the kitchen, smiling happily that his parents were okay. He started eating quickly, wolfing down food much like his parents. “This is very good, thank you!” Liam then said partway through, remembering to be polite. Bedwyr smiled softly at his daughter-in-law and his grandson. “Well, Chloe can stay here with us then while she recovers. Evelyn is a doctor herself, she can look after Chloe here if you need to head out and do whatever it is you need to do here.” He paused for a moment, considering something. “...If you do want to train, once you're better, you need to find someone who can teach you. It's the best way to learn, Chloe.” -Military Base- Blake turned as he looked to his mother, smiling at her. “I was saying hello to Grandma,” Blake said quietly, “We don't see her often...” -Flashback- “No, you're beautiful,” Edda told Chloe, putting a hand on her shoulder and squeezing it softly, smiling at her, “And my parents will definitely like you. I'm sure you will all get along really well.” |

-Apartment- “It's really cool you're better already... when I grow up, can I be just like you?” Chloe's eyes lit up, moving quickly and pulling Caitlin against her in a hug. "Of cooooooooourse! I'm sure your papa and mama would just LOVE that!" From her spot Sarai stiffened, placing a bit more food on Caitlin's plate. "Darling eat" “Well, Chloe can stay here with us then while she recovers. Evelyn is a doctor herself, she can look after Chloe here if you need to head out and do whatever it is you need to do here.” Instantly Chloe dropped her goddaughter, looking like a deflated child. "Whhhhhhhaaaaaat!? Like hell i'm gonna stay here! They're going to need me when they go after that woman!" "Chloe!" Sarai exclaimed, giving a harsh look. Chloe groaned "Fiiiiinnnne, heck. Like HECK am I gonna stay here" “...If you do want to train, once you're better, you need to find someone who can teach you. It's the best way to learn, Chloe.” Chloe frowned, knowing Edda's father had a point. "I know...But it's not like there's anyone else out there who can bench press a car on a good day" "Are you the only super strong person in the world?" Rue asked from her spot, her food finished. Chloe gave a little shrug. "I'm not sure miha. I mean I assume there's other people like me but I heaven't met them yet." -Military Base- Melanie blinked, but gave a nod. She offered the woman some coffee. "He's fine, he wasn't bothering me" Kanna mentioned, pulling herself up and accepting the cup. "I was just getting up anyways" "What were you guys talking about?" Melanie couldn't help but ask, now moving to pick up the little boy. [Hotel] Jade leaned in, dangerously close to Sire. Either she was about to kiss him or kill him...."The wastelands eh? Who knew you'd know something I didn't....Good boy" Jade smirked, moving away from the man. "How hard would it be for us to get there...I mean if we could bypass Rouge all together and get to the REAL threat I wouldn't mind...I mean if she's Autumn's girl than surely she's a ruthless killer. I'd love to say hello." -Flashback- Chloe didn't seem convinced but the woman gave a small nod, forcing herself to play it cool in front of Edda. "Always the optimist aren't you" she said, gathering her things. "From how you've described them they sound...Nice. So do they have to give us permission for you to marry me? Is that how this works? I mean usually it's the other way around but I wouldn't put you through meeting my family- wherever they are" |

[Apartment] Connor knew better than to fight too hard on Chloe 'staying put'. She was never the type to sit back and let everyone else face danger while she was safe. Secretly, he had always appreciated that. Her willingness to fight had saved their lives many times. “There are a lot of people with powers out there.” Connor explained to Rue. “I know that some of the former victors had incredible strength, and some of the people working in the rebellion too...” He shook his head. “We can always ask my contacts with the government. It's possible they'll know someone.” [Hotel] Sire had long since gotten used to Jade always looking like she was a second away from stabbing him in the kidney or sticking her tongue down his throat. He mostly ignored it, as he rubbed his chin and thought about it. “... Well, shouldn't be too bad. We'd need a good vehicle that can survive out in the wastelands. No roads and there's a lot of old mines from the war out there... but it's possible. We find a Gunner compound and given your record with Autumn I bet they let us in. Or they don't and we have to kill our way in.” |

We find a Gunner compound and given your record with Autumn I bet they let us in. Or they don't and we have to kill our way in.” "I'm really okay with either option" Jade mused "And as for the car...Well I don't have one per se, but I bet the old geezer Castor I just offed does. That man was basically made of money and no doubt it's not being watched too closely considered you scared the crap out of Connor Jackson's family. Castor's assistant is probably too busy babysitting them to notice a few million disappearing..." [Apartment] "Ugggggh that means i'm gonna have to be trained by some arrogant former macho victor who is gonna call me princess or something" Chloe huffed, hand on her chin. "I'm sure they're not all that bad" Sarai offered Rue immediately pepped up. "Yeah! I'm sure you could find a nice teacher! Maybe someone like my dad!" From her spot Chloe laughed "No offense miha but your dad is a pussssshover. He's a hell of a doctor and saved my butt a billion times but miho over there couldn't tell me what to do if he tried! I need someone with a bit more...Uhhhh umpf!" "Umpf?" Rue asked, head cocked slightly. "Yeah! Someone who could actually knock me on my butt in a fight!" "Like Rouge did?" Sarai mumbled (uncharacteristically snarky) "Hey! Low blow! It's not my fault she played dirty!" Chloe retorted, sticking her tounge out childishly. " I mean I need someone strong. But smart. Someone who could actually teach me something I don't already know about my strength" Edited by Crystal Rose, Jan 7 2017, 06:21 PM.

-Apartment- “Going east might be a good idea too,” Edda said, “We have some contacts in Panem, right?” He emerged from the room, his mother following behind him. “We could find some others who could help us out, like some of the former people who were in those Games, and Connor knows the President's son.” Paul signed towards Edda, who nodded. “True... we should go meet that contact then. When are we heading there?” -Military Base- Blake smiled happily, sitting in his mother's arms. “I was asking her about the shadows,” Blake answered, “Grandma has them too... like you and me, Mommy.” “You know I never did get the hang of meditating,” Maize said, looking down at her father who was sitting outside, cross legged on the ground, his cane on his lap. “It helps me keep my strength in check,” Ethan said, “You never trained your strength as much, it's not as... potent.” Maize smirked, nodding slightly, “I guess so. You want some breakfast?” “That would be lovely, thank you.” -Flashback- Edda laughed, shaking his head. “No, they just want to meet you! You're gonna be their daughter-in-law. You'll be officially part of the family.” He was quiet for a moment, frowning when Chloe mentioned her own family. He had never met them, but he didn't like them... they had forced Chloe to train and enter the Games, for no reason besides glory. Of course, his own parents had trained him to survive in somewhat similar circumstances, but that had been a matter of surviving where they lived, and they never purposely put him in danger. “If you really want to confront your parents one day... I'll go along with you,” Edda said, “Don't avoid them because of me, even if... well... you know how I feel about them.” He sighed, then brightened up with a smile, taking Chloe's arm. “Let's get going, it's just a short walk away to the restaurant.” |
