Time Off For Good Behavior || Alex and Talos

[talos-cassidine-deactivated2015]

  Having been away for such a long stretch of time, Talos had jumped on the first opportunity to return home to Atlanta when word of the prophecy origin met his ears. Not only did he want to lend a hand in assistance but he had missed Alex, missed being with his adoptive family of sorts. “Broke up a cat fight,” Talos hummed, the words spoken in a reflective sort of manner. The scratches that lined Alex’s cheek certainly could have come from a feline though he knew that wasn’t the case. “Good you did not get right into the middle of it. Could have been worse.” He caught the rag that was tossed in his direction with ease, falsifying a scoff at the idea of assisting - as if he wasn’t there to do just that - before turning towards the nearest table to start at the task. “I have been just fine. I was thinking about making something special for dinner tonight, if you are hungry.”

[alexstathos]

"Eh, they were sorority chicks. I wasn't expecting knives and guns to be pulled. Nail file maybe..." His voice drifted off as he wiped down another table to hid the grin that was spreading across his face. It was so incredibly good to have Talos home. Alex was secretly hoping the old man wouldn't take to wings and decided he'd had enough of the city again. He had a feeling he'd need the Gryphon more and more in the coming days. "You know me. I can always eat. Whatcha making me? I think the fridge is fully stocked...mostly booze, but I'm sure there's something you can use in there."

  " Can I pick you instead" It was no offense to Oliver, she just preferred the company of the well of satyr. Katherine felt they had more in common when it came to thing’s like that. She watched Alex start to make her drink and got comfortable in the seat across from him. "I’m perfect as always Alex and what about you? Breaking hearts with that face of yours?" She teased before rolling her eyes when it came the topic of weather. Katherine hated hot weather, but she was used to it by now. " I might have to wear less clothes or something. It’s been terrible"

[alexstathos]

"Breaking hearts, taking names.... Another day in paradise."  He grinned at the blonde, shrugging his shoulders a bit as if to say it was status quo with him. It wasn't far from the truth. In truth, Alex had been in talks with Elizabeth about what direction to take with the prophecy. Unfortunately, the dragon had little to no new news. "Less clothes wouldn't be a bad thing, Katherine. I'm a fan of less clothes."  He grinned wickedly, before dipping behind the counter to fix her a cold drink.

Time Off For Good Behavior || Alex and Ivy

[ivy-kent-blog-blog]

  Ivy had just spent who knows how many hours at the Dollhouse, rehearsing for tonight. They had all new choreography, mentioned at last minute of course, new pole work, new everything, and, of course, new outfits. She was exhausted, having gotten up early as it was and now she only had about an hour before going to work and she desperately needed caffeine. The mermaid walked into Logos, not having time to look elsewhere. As she pushed open the door and walked to the counter, Ivy let out a breath, running a hand through her hair as she looked up at the menu. She smiled weakly at the man who spoke, it seemed as though it was a long day all around. “Oh, uh,” she pursed her lips, taking another quick glance at the menu before looking back at him, “Can I get a café latte with an extra shot?”

[alexstathos]

He recognized this one. Or rather, he thought he did. It was hard to tell with her clothes on, but he thought she was one of the dancers over at the Dollhouse. Alex didn't much care for the goofy ass owner of the strip club, but the ladies... well, that was a different story all together. "Coming right up," he smiled, disappearing behind the counter to mix up her drink.  It took less than a minute to have the drink ready and placed in front of her. "Say...I think I know you. You work at the Dollhouse, right?"

[sadie-t]

  With a relieved sigh, she grinned at Alex and visibly relaxed. “You’re a life saver.” Sadie nodded, making a note to get it before she left. “Scatterbrained,” a shy smile crossed her lips as she shifted her weight from one leg to the other. “There’s this pilot being shot here looking for day players and I’m kind of hoping I get one of the slots.” Sadie was still had the bitter taste in her mouth of her failed venture into acting in LA but the nymph wasn’t backing away just yet. “What about you? How’ve you been? Let me help ya.”

[alexstathos]

The shy smile caught him off guard, and he had to remind himself for the hundredth time that he was her dad's best friend and probably too old for her to boot. Still, he was a living, breathing man. Sadie was beautiful. "Oh yeah?" Alex asked, raising an eyebrow. He knew that acting was a passion of hers. "I'm sure you will. What kinda show is it?" Alex was genuinely curious; he liked knowing what Sadie had going on in her life. "I'm the same as always."  He pointed to the two thin scratches on his check that would heal before dawn. "Broke up a fight over a guy about an hour ago. You should have been here. It was...it was certainly a sight."  He chuckled and shook his head as he tossed her a rag to help wash down the tables.

New in Town || Eva & Alex

[miss-st-james]

  "A man after my own heart, who knew?" Eva smiled prettily, as if nothing in the world could rip the innocence from her face. She knew that he would probably have a similar philosophy on life as she did. Snorting at his reference, she shrugged her shoulders and whispered conspiratorially. "I guess that means we’re off to see the wizard." Belatedly she picked up on the last word he’d uttered. "Dragons?" Her voice remained low, knowing the danger they could be in if someone were to overhear their conversation. She’d never met a dragon, their species was far too rare, but she hadn’t realized that there was one in Atlanta. This town was becoming more exciting every minute, it seemed.

[alexstathos]

"Or...rather, dragon. One. Elizabeth. She runs the show around here. I'm just the pretty face and the welcoming committee."  Alex shrugged, but let his other hand drop to trace his fingers slowly over hers. Signaling the bartender for another round, he quickly turned his attention back to the Siren in front of him. It had been far too long since he'd spent any real time with one of her species. Boston, about thirteen years ago, he believed. "What's your story, Miss St. James? What brought you to Atlanta?"

New in Town || Eva & Alex

[miss-st-james]

  Matching the smirk on his face, Eva placed her hand gently in his. Her fingers were small and smooth, dwarfed by the hand she now clasped. “You’re right about that, though I always hope to gain a bit of pleasure in return. Wounded and devastated I’m sure.” It was perfect, this flirtatious banter that flowed so smoothly and easily between them. Too long had she put off involving herself in the local mythic community. Why had she even waited? It was obvious that for the past few months she had clearly been missing out. Well, to her it seemed high time to fix that little issue. “Miss indeed, so don’t hurt your pretty little self over me. Have no dear my darling Alex, I am completely unattached.” Picking up the glass he offered, she took a long drag before placing it back on the bar. “Oh? Well I suppose that depends on your definition of ‘exciting’. Tell me, what fascinating things have I been missing?”

[alexstathos]

Alex should have expected her to be the type to meet him flirt for flirt. Most Sirens were just at adapt at the game as Satyr's were. Still, when she put her hand in his, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Nevertheless, he closed his fingers around hers, giving her hand a gentle squeeze. "Completely unattached are words that I live by," he said, smiling all the while. Commitment and Alex weren't words that should ever be uttered in the same sentence. At her question regarding the exciting things happening in Atlanta, the Satyr just shrugged. "Oh you know..."  Lowering his voice, he continued, "Prophecies, magic, dragons oh my..."

Kryptonite || Lucas & Alex

Lucas had a stack of new comics in one hand and his eyes were glued to the flyer on the back comic display, checking out what was coming up next week. He’d already picked up three or four that were his favorites along with a new one to try and he was more than a little excited for an afternoon at home. Poring over glossy pages and eating cereal while cartoons played in the background sounded like a hell of a Saturday. He hardly noticed when someone came up beside him, almost close enough to brush against him, and was startled when they spoke. “Huh?” he said, nearly jumping out of his skin, “Oh, I didn’t see you there,” he said, his voice startled and verging on annoyance at his own physical response.

[alexstathos]

"Slacker," Alex teased as he brushed up against Lucas. His employee wasn't supposed to be at work now, but the Satyr couldn't help throwing a little good-natured dig in there. As he rifled through the new music next to the Spriggin, he casually glanced over at the other's selections. "Nice choices. You got good taste in music. "Hey can you do me a favor? Want to pick up a few more hours on Sunday? Mary's got to visit her dad in Florida, and we'll be short staffed.  Overtime and my eternal gratitude."

Time Off For Good Behavior || Alex and Angel

[angel-lachance-blog]

  Angel was starving and the couldn’t get off work until much later than she expected. Fucking teenagers and their damn belly button piercings. It was a lot of what she had been seeing since she’d got here. Running across the street to Logos quickly before the closed she rushed in. Thankfully they hadn’t closed yet. If she were human, there would have been ragged breathing but she was much faster than that. “Something to eat. Anything, maybe everything.” She responded to the other Mythic quickly. Angel had been here a few times already, but she hadn’t seen him here. Well not alone, she’d seen him sort of walk in and out a few times. The plan was to devour everything they had here to sate herself temporarily, then go to the Vortex. Striker was acting up so she’d have to take a look at that after eating.

[alexstathos]

Alex raised an eyebrow as the Hellhound said 'maybe everything.'  He'd seen her around a few times, but hadn't gotten a chance to speak to her. She was drop dead gorgeous, of course, but she was a Hellhound. Those puppies usually had some bite. Alex didn't even speak, just gestured her toward the barstool and disappeared behind the counter. A few seconds later he came back with a plate full of muffins and cookies, as well as a turkey sandwich and some chips. "Here ya go. Don't even worry about the check. I'm Alex, the owner here. I've seen you around, but we haven't been introduced." 

[alexstathos]

Time Off For Good Behavior || Alex and Talos

[talos-cassidine-deactivated2015]

  It was getting late and Talos had figured since he hadn’t swung by Logos earlier in the day he would stop by just before closing to see if Alex needed a hand. It wasn’t only a second after the door chimed that he heard the Greek expletive leak out from the Satyr’s lips, his eyes rolling subtly as he caught Alex’s greeting. “Nothing but your smiling face, Kid. Thought I would drop by and see if you could use a helping hand. Rough night?”

[alexstathos]

Talos. Sweet relief spread through him at the sight of the closest thing to a father that he had left. Alex would never admit it aloud, but he was so incredibly grateful that he'd come back to town to help with the prophecy. Not only had he missed the old Gryphon, but he was beginning to feel like he was in over his head. Talos was sorely needed. "You could say that," he nodded. "Broke up a cat fight over a guy tonight...and it wasn't even me they were fighting over."  He pointed to the scratches on his cheek, but didn't seem overly concerned. They'd be healed before morning. "You wanna help me wipe down the tables?"  Alex tossed a rag at him, knowing full well that Talos would catch it. "How ya been, old man?"

  She wasn’t sure what to expect to hear come out of Alex’s mouth, but she was pleased by the end of what he had to say. Katherine walked over to where the other satyr was and leaned against the counter. ” I might be” she replied with a half smile before nodding her head. ” I’ll take it. I assume the company is you then?”

[alexstathos]

"Or Lucas. He may still be in the back working on the dishes."  In truth, Alex was pretty sure the Spriggan had taken off hours ago, but saying it made him grin. He doubted Katherine's idea of good company was spending hours with Lucas. He had already stepped behind the counter to make her drink, but the grin hadn't left his face. Katherine was...entertaining...in her self-centeredness. It was almost refreshing in a way. She didn't hide anything, and she wasn't fake. She might rub him the wrong way at times, but at least she was honest about herself. Usually. "How ya been, Katherine?  Melting in this infernal heat?"

[sadie-t]

  It wasn’t until she’d gotten home a couple of hours prior that she found out she was missing her wallet. After tearing her apartment apart, she realized she might have left it at Logos and so she rushed to her job and gave Alex an apologetic smile. “Sorry, sorry!” They nymph apologized for barging in as he was closing. “I’m just in and out, promise.” She looked around the counter before explain why she probably looked like a lunatic running around. “I think I left my wallet in the back, I would’ve come tomorrow but I was worried about it not being here and it actually being lost. 

[alexstathos]

Alex's demeanor changed with Sadie walked in the door. Gone was the tired, overworked, coffee shop owner. He smiled warmly and shrugged off her apparent lapse in memory. "It's in my office in the safe. I was going to call you after I closed and let you know it was here. Didn't want anything to happen to it."  He jerked his thumb back toward the back. "Feel free to go back there and grab it.  And you're not a bother, dear. You know I'll stop and chat with you anytime."   He tilted his head, and squinted his eyes. "Speaking of which, I haven't had time to chat lately. How've you been?"

[katherine--the--great]

Katherine had spent the day treating herself around the town  and was certain her backseat was filled with bags at this point. She needed to take a small break and knew where to go. She was cutting it close, but that didn’t matter. There wouldn’t be a mess of people inside the shop. Katherine walked in and looked at Alex, whom she hadn’t given the best first impression to in the past. ” Depends what you want to give me”

[alexstathos]

Alex raised an eyebrow as the blonde Satyr flitted in through the door. She was definitely something, and had all the attitude and entitlement to back it up. Still...she was, dare he say it, growing on him. A bit.  Maybe. Possibly. "Give you?" he echoed. "You looking for freebies today, Katherine?"  He said it half in jest, because she - and most Mythics - rarely paid for much at Logos. "I can give you a cinnamon and mocha late and some company. That's about all I got tonight."

New in Town || Eva & Alex

[miss-st-james]

  As the man sat down next to her Eva gave him a cursory glance. The tingle in her spine told her that he was a fellow mythic, and a satyr at that. A sly smile spread across her face as she thought about all the trouble she’d gotten into with satyrs in the past. His nature was bound to be similar to hers, and she couldn’t wait to see what mischief the two might create. “I’m sure you would, I’m not easy to forget. Eva St. James. It’s a pleasure to meet you Alex.” Obtaining a string of drinks was proving easier than she’d hoped, and it was a bonus that she would be receiving them from such a handsome benefactor. “I arrived back in April, but unfortunately moving took longer than I expected. It probably doesn’t help that I put up my tv first thing and used it to procrastinate after that.”

[alexstathos]

She had all the attitude of a Siren too.  Alex couldn't help but smirk as she introduced herself, and then held out his hand. "It's totally my pleasure, Miss St. James.  It is Miss St. James, right? I would be sorely wounded if it were not."  He punctuated the last part with his best 'hurt' face and then smiled as the bartender sat down the whiskey. "Right on time," he smiled, pushing Eva's glass over toward her. "As for your TV, that's all well and good. But there's much more exciting things in Atlanta to see...."  Alex let his words trail off as he shot the whiskey back and waved the bartender on for another round.
