[So now she's either older than him or at the same age, he's fucking missed ten years of being with her, because clearly something happened.]

Evelyn. I just came here on a flying boat, we're on floating islands, and clearly this isn't heaven. So yes, I'm not going to feel

well

, considering I lost ten years somewhere!

[oh dear]

"Why do you sparkle so? You look like an advertisement for a Las Vegas revue!" Dracula stared quite narroweyed at this young upstart. Damn sparklepires. Always giving people the idea that vampires were... broody! And sparkly!

Who sparkled?

He waved a finger at the young(to him) man. "Stop that!"

Gem | Tron: Legacy (+CRAU)

[gemme]

Arrival

To some, the prospect of finding oneself transported without warning to an unfamiliar world could be a terrifying one. To Gem it had become something of an inescapable fact of life. In the past year she had been a resident of three separate worlds, only one of which she had left voluntarily. That was not to say that she didn't feel the bite of anxious uncertainty gnawing at her insides as the boat she was on moved ever closer to the floating island - it was simply being tempered by the slow burning anger ignited by the entire situation. The former program was tired; tired of moving, tired of being toyed with, tired of being reminded of the impermanence of everything in life.

She scarcely spoke to the friendly locals that stepped forward to greet her once the vessel reached its destination and she was allowed to disembark. Her first steps onto relatively solid ground were a bit unsteady, but it didn't take her long to stand to her full height, automatically defaulting to the stiff, perfect posture that had been ingrained in her very programming years ago. She listened to what the locals had to say and gave the map they handed her a cursory glance, then dismissed them once it became clear that they had no real information for her. No real satisfactory information, at any rate.

Swallowing her agitation she found an out of the way corner to stand where she wasn't in the immediate flow of traffic, a place where she could collect her thoughts and decide how to proceed. She kept her gaze trained on the surrounding area, her old customary wariness resurfacing. A small bitter half smile twisted one corner of her lips as she watched nearby goings-on.

At least this time she hadn't gotten attached to anything - anyone - in the previous world. That would make this transition a little easier - a very thin silver lining, if there was one to be found.

[sickmasochisticlion]

The admonishment startled Edward a little and he turned, unsure of what was chastising him and why. Even the oldest of the vampires, the Volturi, looked nothing like this. He had never seen anything that looked like this.

"It's what I am, in the sun. I couldn't change it any more than I could make the sun go from west to east."

[these_are_my_words]

She's not the Dag.

Of course she's not, she's all sleek. Sleek hair, sleek curves, not the Dag's wayward locks, her pointy slimness. But the colour of the woman's hair and her height had tricked her into thinking she'd seen her sister, like a wretched scavenger tricked by the desert into running towards water.

'Cept she'd already turned, taken some eager steps towards her, hadn't she?

Now the Splendid Angharad slows, her steps faltering into a confused limp as disappointment flares with pain from the bandaged bullet wound on her calf.

"Sorry," she says. "I thought... you were someone else."

It's why she keeps dragging herself to the docks, after seeing her son in his incubator-crib in the clinic. To see if her sisters are here. Any of them. All of them. Or Miss Giddy. Even Furiosa.

But there's no one.

Henry Sturges | AL:VH/Last American Vampire | Post Amat

[inhenrywetrust]

1.

When Henry wakes up - he is on a boat.

Considering the fact that the last thing he remembers is being in his bed, in his own snug little cottage on the island, that's quite jarring to say the very least. He rubs the sleep from his eyes, and then his hand goes immediately to his throat.

The collar is gone.

Which means ...

He immediately moves to the shadowed part of the boat, and searches his pockets until he finds his sunglasses. He can't take any risks - at least not until he knows where he is, and currently, what he is.

He avoids direct sunlight as best he can, frowning as they come along to the floating islands. What sort of game was the goddess playing now?

2.

He takes his communicator, and his map, and immediately goes to find the library on this damned thing. He needs to know what this world is, and whether or not he has his powers here. Oh certainly, he could test them by trying to punch through a wall -- but why be inelegant?

He's rather afraid he might be able to do it, when all is said and done. So now, he wanders darkened streets, map in hand, as he tries to find his way to the library here.

Zoe was on her way to dinner.... She stepped off the ferry and was headed towards her favorite Italian restaurant when she spotted him. He looked a little lost so she stopped. She didn't have anywhere to be anyway.

A look of recognition dawned on her face. "Henry?"

Re: Henry Sturges | AL:VH/Last American Vampire | Post Amat

[inhenrywetrust]

Henry jerked when someone called out his name - and he half-turned, looking wary. A wariness that faded with recognition. He offered a half-smile, and a little bow.

"Dr. Hart - what a delightful surprise. I did not expect to see anyone from the island here."

facetwin shenanigans

[godcomplexing]

Henry wasn't the only immortal being wandering the streets of their new environment. Adam was doing the same, enjoying the free air and open spaces. Seeing this man with a map told him that the other was new to the islands as well.

"Getting a feel for the place?" he asked conversationally.

[noharmevercamefromabook]

[Evelyn takes one step back further from him. She can see he's upset something she has seen through the years. But she also knows how to deal with it. She fiddles with the locket hanging around her neck and looks away from him to the ground in thought. This wasn't heaven. Just islands, floating islands for that matter. She had no clue how she got here, but she is here and he is here and looks younger. She's is trying to process this.]

I can understand that. How do you think I feel? Getting upset will get us nowhere though. If you're from the desert and I'm from much further on then this place is very strange indeed. I don't think you lost ten years. [Her wedding ring in evident on her hand as she look back at him.]

This sounds like something in one of those strange books.

Re: facetwin shenanigans

[inhenrywetrust]

Henry looked up from his map, and then ... stared. Stared as if he had seen a ghost, in the flesh, and his mouth worked open for a moment, then closed abruptly.

He took a step forward, uncertain, as he said quietly, "...Victor?"

[godcomplexing]

He paused at the name, frowning. It wasn't the alias he chose to live here and besides, he didn't recognize this man. But the way the man looked at him suggested some familiarity. Adam's hand dropped to where his sword would be if he were wearing it. He thought a man walking around with a samurai sword was not a good first impression, but now wished he had it.

"Sorry if I startled you," he said.

[inhenrywetrust]

There was no recognition there, just confusion and wariness. Henry took a step back then, schooling his disappointment behind an apathetic expression and a polite smile.

"Perfectly all right. My apologies ... you looked like an old friend of mine. I hope I did not startle you in kind." When in doubt, default to manners.

[student_lighter]

"I'm not actually that familiar with Whitelighter or Angel history. But, I guess I'm sorry about your home." That he knew about. He knew what it was like for home to not feel welcoming. That was the strange part, having two sets of memories from two different futures.

[lotsoflaughs]

"Well, there's always digging around in the religion section of the library if you get bored," Gabriel points out drily. "Just remember plenty of the crap you'll find is wrong so should be taken with a mountain of salt."

Of course there's bugging Gabriel for information too. That also works. Although now probably isn't the time.

Gabriel nods slightly with a quiet sigh, pulling a bag of m&ms out of his pocket to start eating a piece at a time. "Try not to be too weirded out by some of your stuff being in your house at whatever point you get around to finding out where you're staying. It's been noticed that anywhere from one to four things from home--wherever home is for the person--show up there. Including pets."

[student_lighter]

"Pets?" Chris repeated. Probably didn't mean the demons that had been imprisoned in the Manor over the years. Those were hardly pets. And yet....that was kind of what he thought of. But if he had some pyrite crystals waiting for him that would make him feel better.

"You mean don't get weirded out by the fact that these whoever they are were snooping around our lives and our things? Yeah. I've both been there and done that. As long as they don't have video cameras hidden around and are trying to kill us as part of a sick reality tv show, I'm good."

Yeah, Chris would be bugging Gabriel. And possibly bribing him with food. If the m&m's were a clue.

[lotsoflaughs]

"Someone I know found one of her cats waiting for her and someone else, her direwolf," Gabriel says as he considers that second one for a moment. "The furball's a lot more well-behaved than one would expect from anything with 'dire' in the name."

Yes, candy is a good thing to bribe him with. As is anything sugary or sweet in general.

"Would you rather not have anything familiar?" Gabriel asks with raised eyebrows. "Sure, I had mixed feelings about my thing, but hey. Better back in my hands than left in Lucifer's."

[student_lighter]

"But, let's say we had a demon held up at home. They wouldn't be waiting for me here, right? Generally small objects?" Maybe like the Book of Shadows? He knew the Book could project itself but he still didnt like the idea of it alone, out of the manor.

Gabriel was in for a treat. Chris grew up with Piper after all. He probably baked cookies with her dozens of times. And vanquishing potions. Cookies tasted better.

"Your....thing?" That was ominious.

[lotsoflaughs]

Gabriel pinches the bridge of his nose. "I'm not going to ask why you have a demon. Let's hope it's not here."

Then he's smiling thinly. "Archangel blade. There's exactly four of them. One per archangel."

[student_lighter]

Because he was asking it not so politely for information. Duh. Infiltrating and subtly hadn't helped.

"And those do what? Kill demons?" Chris narrowed his eyes. "There are other ways to kill demons."

[lotsoflaughs]

"Among other things. Like archangels." Although really. If he's going to kill a demon, he wouldn't do it by stabbing it.

[student_lighter]

"You have a blade that kills others of your kind." He stated, just to make sure he got it right. Cause that sounded insane. "Why would you want that?"

Shawn Polk | Game of Silence

[backstheplan]

Okay. Shawn had dealt with a lot of crap in his life, way more than any one person should have to. His has the scars to prove it, although from the looks of things not as many as Jackson, Gil, or even Jessie. Maybe that is why he is so even keeled, at least from the outside. Mess with his brothers though and all bets are off.

He had made a promise to his boys, and Annie, and now he felt like he was failing them just by being here, and not where he should be. So, he was sulking in a bar, looking pretty pissed off at the world, but there is really only one person he would kick the crap out of, and he hopes to God, the Warden is not here. He is twirling a bottle of beer on the table, wanting answers, but not sure how to get them.

[lotsoflaughs]

"Because I would prefer my brother not try to kill me with it again," he says flatly. Hence it being better off in his own hands.

Re: Henry Sturges | AL:VH/Last American Vampire | Post Amat

[hartdoctor]

"So it is you," She asked, relieved. "Yeah, there a few of us, but not as many as you would think." Zoe had seen several that didn't seem to recognize her.

"Can I show you around?"
