Grey Orphanage

Ruby Grey decided to take her annoyingly empty ancestral home and turn it into an orphanage. Here's what followed.

Oh jeez. Primrose is definitely watching Felicity, and Roux is totally oblivious. 

I think Felicity is too, honestly.

Misc. morning! Aileen got caught hacking and is reevaluating her money making habits, and Ruby paints the worst portrait of a vampire possible.

Ivory, determined not to let a little awkwardness stand in the way of friendship, convinces Emelie to chat with Jules. While no romance seems forthcoming, friendship does! They even team up to try and take down Ivory at foosball! 

All in all a generally enjoyable outing!

Emelie slipped into the back so, adjusting their plans, Jules decides to try and flirt with Emelie instead. I can’t say he got shot down, but he definitely looks like he got the ‘lets just be friends’ speech and was bummed out. Poor guy. I don’t think he even realized he was into Emelie before this outing though, so it’s not all bad.

Ivory, trying to get her friends to get along better and definitely not arguing if something develops, tries to get Jules to ask Emelie to dance.

Ivory went to get a drink, but these two kept dancing, grinning and laughing at each other, and suddenly I shipped them. 

Whoops?

So Ivory gets her friends to all come to the dance floor! While they’re having fun and boogieing down, though, they realize they’re being glared at... by Damian Robinson. Owen’s father. While not fully aware of why Owen is living with them instead of his dad, Ivory assumes its for good reasons and starts taunting the grouch.

Emelie and Jules happily join in.

Ivory and her friends are meeting up at the lounge for a fancy lunch get together!

While Ivory is really close with both of them, they seem kind of stiff around each other. Here’s hoping Ivory can fix that!

Roux gets chewed out by his grandmother while Owen watches, great way to keep the family together. XD Poor Ruby, having her grandson brought home by cops.

So Roux not only got caught by the school, apparently this kind of prank is a criminal matter, because A COP IS TAKING ROUX HOME. 

All the cops in this town apparently are faeries, for some reason. Because why not. And horses just walk by in front of the school.

So Roux wakes up in a snit, decides to prank the school. Meanwhile, mail is brought in, and APPARENTLY someone decided to send him a love letter right after being called out by Roscoe for flirting with other guys. *cough* Felicity we see you *cough*. 

Owen is super smart already, astounding no one.

So as Roscoe walks in, Ivory lays into him. She’s pissed! Ruby and Annabelle left her to watch after the teens, and Roscoe slipped away and got brought home by a cop!? 

He’s definitely in trouble. She’s not going to tell Ruby, this time, but he’s grounded and he better act like it.

So let’s recap: Roscoe woke up in a mood, confronted his friends girlfriend for flirting with other people, then got caught out after curfew and taken home in a police car, while said friends girlfriend stood there watching. 

This hasn’t been his day.

So they lose friendship, I fully expect them to fight, and instead Felicity tries to win him over with a joke about storm clouds blowing over-

except Roscoe is out past curfew and apparently that means A COP IS AT THE PARK.

Meanwhile, blissfully unaware of what’s happening in a park quite a bit away, 3/4ths of the family have entered the water. 

Annabelle is quite content to moonbathe, though.

“Roscoe! It’s so nice to see-” Felicity, smiling widely, held her arms out to hug him, but he cut in before she could finish her thought. 

“Look, Felicity-” She interrupted him in turn. 

“Yes?” 

The cheerful look hadn’t left her face, but Roscoe’s rage only got worse. He’d never seen that expression on her when she was around Roux, the boy head over heels for her. 

“I’ve had it up to here,” Roscoe held his hand high over Felicity’s head. “With how you treat my friend. I’ve put up with it because Roux clearly likes you a lot. I’m going to give you the barest benefits of the doubts, and assume you weren’t actually flirting with me before-”

“Why you-” Felicity started towards him, but Roscoe didn’t back down, and kept talking like she’d never stopped, scowling all the time. 

“but if I ever catch wind of you doing anything that would hurt Roux, in any regard, you will have me to reckon with.”

“Oh really.” She leaned in, all warmth gone from her eyes. In one way, it was a relief to no longer be one of her targets. “Do you reckon?” Sarcasm dripped off her words. “Who would he believe, if you were right? His beloved girlfriend, or the boy he’s clashed with since he was a kid?” 

Roscoe’s glare didn’t lessen. Let her believe what she would, Roscoe was certain Roux would trust his word, if it came to it.

Meanwhile, Roscoe is discussing with Primrose how Felicity was definitely coming onto him earlier. Primrose, to no surprise, throws out fire as a suggestion, but only for a moment before they thoroughly think over what to actually do. 

They decide it’s time for a confrontation to be sure Roscoe understood correctly. Primrose offered to go with but Roscoe decided to do this alone.
