It's not unusual to find Gil in a bar somewhere (though after he'd discovered that one with the bartender who looks like him, he hadn't gone back to that one since; it's just too weird), especially after a long day at work. Hopefully soon he'll have the money he needs to start his own contracting business again. He'd much rather do that than any of the jobs he'd been offered here.

This time, when he walks in, he sees a very familiar face. One he'd been hoping he'd see one day. Now if only Boots could show up by some miracle, things could maybe be right with the world. "Shawn?"

:3

[hummerdoc]

And look who's here, just on a whim, really. He wasn't expecting anyone to show, but yet here she was. Eyes alight, and with a grin on his face, Ratchet moved to intercept Gem.

"Gem. I wasn't expecting anyone to come here. But here you are."

[godcomplexing]

Something in the other man's reaction told Adam that Victor was more than just an "old friend", but he didn't push the subject. Though he was a bit curious about said "old friend".

"It's not the first time I've been called by a different name," he said truthfully. "Perhaps your friend is around here somewhere."

[gemme]

Gem was prepared to brush off whoever it was that had stepped directly into her path. What she was not prepared for was who had stepped directly into her path. She froze, body going rigid with tension as her gaze slid to the man standing before her. For a moment all she could do was stare, eyes narrowing slightly as if she wasn't sure just what she was looking at. Her expression remained blank, composed, entirely at odds with the surge of emotions tightening her chest, disbelief and a painful, fragile kind of hope chief among them.

It had been almost two months since she had last seen him. Since he had disappeared, leaving her with so few options. Two almost agonizing months spent questioning and chastising herself for ever letting herself get so close to someone, because in the end they always left. And now, there he was, with that damn stupid grin on his face that always seemed to infuriate and derail her in equal measure.

"Here I am," she finally said, voice even save for the faintest hint of strain.

[hinging]

"It is what I would call it. Some form of vessel regardless." Different species did have different words for different items. As far as she knew, the same could hold true here, yet from her own perspective, it was what she would classify it as.

"I know many things, and yet there are many more I have yet to learn." Even if she had left the Jedi, there was still those mannerisms that came. "I cannot sense any threat. And we seem to be heading towards a destined location."

[hinging]

Likewise, that familiar sense within the Force did give her forewarning of another, and as she turned, Ahsoka did notice Kanan walking toward her. Yet... Her eyes regarded him, as if searching for some answer that wasn't quite so easily forthcoming. "Perhaps not so much found as discovered. The others?"

[gemme]

Movement spied from the corner of her eye draws Gem's attention to the woman, one slim brow rising when she notices the eagerness with which the stranger is approaching her. Then the other is slowing, disappointment written on her face. The reaction is enough to pique Gem's interest in spite of her current foul mood, and rather than wave the stranger off after she explains herself the Siren chooses to engage in conversation instead. It isn't every day that someone mistakes her for someone else. Not in an organic setting, where her coloring is often labeled as unusual or exotic depending on who is voicing the opinion.

"It's fine. No harm or offense done," she assures her with the polite smile she once gave nervous combatants. "I'm sorry that I am not who you mistook me for."

[hummerdoc]

He heard that strain in her voice. Saw the multitudes of thoughts across her face. Ratchet moved closer, reaching out for her.

"I didn't plan on coming here, by the way. But here I am, and here you are. And maybe we can stay put. The goddess doesn't rule us here. Not sure about the King and Queen, though, but they stay out of our hair. I've been here a few weeks and no curses. Not one. Wel.. I'm still in this human body, but no collar."

[hummerdoc]

Well. They're just coming out of the woodwork, aren't they?

Ratchet thought that as he spotted Henry skulking in the shadows.

Moving to intercept him, Ratchet called out.

"Henry?"

[gemme]

Gem shifted her weight when he stepped closer, putting herself another inch or two out of reach. It wasn't a retreat - not yet - but she wasn't sure she wanted him touching her right then. She wasn't sure of anything. Part of her wanted nothing more than to slap him and be left alone. Another part of her ached for the familiar warmth of his hand just as strongly. It was a confusing, maddening combination that left her feeling raw and agitated, consumed by warring desires and instincts.

"A few weeks? It has been nearly two months." She could narrow it down to exact days and hours, but she didn't. Shaking her head she turned her gaze away, trying to focus on something in the far distance. Trying to ignore the fact that she was beginning to tremble but from what she didn't know. "A lot can happen in that time frame."

[these_are_my_words]

"My sister," Splendid says softly. "Her hair is the same colour as yours. And you're of a height." Although in bare feet, the Dag would be slightly taller than the woman standing in front of her.

She sighs, and then forces herself to stand straight. She won't curl up in disappointment, or grief. She will not. She did not fight for her freedom to do that.

"She might turn up, later. People here seem to do that."

[rightkindofmonster]

Jacob had found it strangely easy to settle in on the new islands despite how strange they were. Maybe it was because he had spent the last while on his own or maybe it was because there was no one from home. Either way, things had been going fairly well as he settled into a sort of routine in his new life.

So it was a shock when the brilliant flash of something sparkling caught his eye and he realized that it was a person and not some piece of stone that he was looking at.

What was more of a shock was that it was someone he actually recognized. The one someone he really didn't want to see. It didn't matter that there was one person he wouldn't want to see more because this was nearly as bad. He bristled, biting back a growl as he started moving forward then. He had no idea why Edward was out in the sun but he was angry as he got close.

"What are you doing here, bloodsucker?"

[sickmasochisticlion]

"I came to die," Edward said simply, spreading his hands to show he meant no harm. This place wasn't Forks and there was no boundary and no treaty to respect but even still, he wanted to show deference to the wolf. He didn't intend on starting a fight; he intended on ending a fight. He intended to end his own struggle, his own life, and he had no quarrel with the wolf.

"You're not going to keep me from that, are you? The Volturi are going to be here any minute since I exposed myself."

[rightkindofmonster]

"They're not here, Edward." Jacob growled a little again, curling his hands into fists as he trembled under the weight of his wolf wanting to come out. He was tempted to shift and grant Edward his wish to die but he couldn't. Bella would be upset with him and, for some reason, that still mattered to him.

"Why do you want to die anyways?" He sounded irritable, his voice still low. Then he tensed. "Did something happen to Bella?"

[sickmasochisticlion]

"My family almost killed her because of what she is," Edward said darkly. "She smells too good to be around vampires. I should have known we couldn't control ourselves, that there isn't a way for her to be around us and still be human."

In spite of what the others think, Edward has no desire to bite her and take away her humanity. He wanted, more than anything, for Bella to remain the same perfect human being that she was now. He didn't want to steal her life away but she kept drawing him in, like a sickness. He had to be free of it.

"I want to keep her safe. I saw her jump...I failed, even by going away. I failed her."

[rightkindofmonster]

Jacob was silent for a moment, confusion rippling across his features as he tried to make sense of what Edward was saying. He had heard about people coming from two different points in the same life time but this was the first time that he was actually experiencing it for himself.

It also presented him with an opportunity to tell Edward that Bella had died and to protect her but it wouldn't do any good here. If Bella ever did show up, she would never forgive him. He told himself that he wouldn't care either way but, deep down, he knew that he would. That didn't stop him from looking over at the edge of the island where he could guide Edward to if he really wanted to end himself.

Heaving a sigh of regret, he shook his head. "She didn't die, moron. She was just cliff diving. I saved her. For all the good it did because then she ran off to save you from killing yourself."

[sickmasochisticlion]

"But Alice said..."

Edward had always had trouble with his abilities around the wolves of La Push, since he had never been a werewolf. He had been a human, once, and a vampire currently but he had never been a wolf. He had never understood how their minds worked. Was it the same for Alice?

"Alice said she couldn't see her any longer, that she was gone. She had disappeared from where she watched her."

[rightkindofmonster]

"She was wrong." Jacob snapped, stepping in front of Edward now to make the idiot really see him.

"Whenever Bella is around us, she disappears from Alice's visions." He didn't know what he was bothering to explain it to Edward. What did he really care? He really should just walk away and let the vampire fulfill his death wish but again....

"Alice came to find out and she found Bella was okay."

[tobeclosetohim]

Jo's feeling relaxed enough today that she's not avoiding the people, otherwise she'd still be at home, with groceries and her journal making plans and lists and not her. But sometimes she needs out, as much as Sam's sleep needs space, and she gives the girl who smiles at her a smile back. Reaching up to ruffle her hair back from the wind tugging it in her face, while she says, "Hey. I don't think I've found this corner before. How's this place?"

[student_lighter]

"Oh. That's a good reason." Chris in fact thought that was a very good reason. He knew all about brothers trying to kill you. One in particular actually. And Chris also knew better than to pry. He didn't want to talk about Wyatt any more than Gabriel wanted to talk about Lucifer.

He almost got the offending big brother, oops.

[lotsoflaughs]

"Yeah. Of course, now I've got mixed feelings about the thing. Thanks big bro," Gabriel grumbles before shaking his head. "In less cranky-making news, they will give you money to start you off with. It's meant to last people a month, although I've been able to stretch it further."

[sickmasochisticlion]

The realization that Bella was alive was something that Edward had truly never considered. She lived, far away from this place, and his reasons for wanting to die had suddenly diminished. Still, she was safer without him. She was safer with her human family and the protection of the wolves that she would ever be with him.

"Where is she? Do you have her with you or is she back on the reservation?" Edward couldn't feel her, as if she were too far away, so he had to rely on what limited information he could get from Jacob.

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

[inhenrywetrust]

"... If you like. I am afraid I shall not be good company. I feel a bit at a loss." Totally off his bearings, more like. He did manage to give her a smile, if it was not a little strained on the edge.

[inhenrywetrust]

He smiled briefly, before he spoke simply, "Haven't we all? But I find we always come back to my first name."

A sigh. "And it would truly be a miracle if he was."

[inhenrywetrust]

Henry twisted when he heard his name, his eyebrows going up in surprise, and then delight, as he recognized the man.

"Ratchet?"
