"Rintaro," Mei was unusually serious as she approached the blue swordsman. She knew if they all were just able to talk without that weirdo Reika around then maybe, just maybe she could bring the team back together.

“Mei-san...” Rintaro said having found her at the empty northern base. “...How have you been?” He asked.

[Haema Text: Astarte] Got new info on Mother. Meet me at Yoko's.

[Text to Pain In The Neck] On my way there now. Should I bring snacks or booze?

Lay low in America for a few days, that's what Vampir had been told when she once again was whining about her stalker. Sure, she was staying at Abby's but that didn't mean she couldn't explore the country. Is was freeing, being able to run to her heart's content. She froze when running through Ocean Bluff, the smell of lycan was strong in the city. She soon found its source and stepped inside the rather unassuming pizza parlor.

Bigby smelled the vampire even before she walked in but as he was supposed to be recovering from a nasty wound he got from the newest monsters in city, and thus not supposed to move from his resting position, he could only growl. Admittedly a large wolf near one wall, his torso wrapped in bandages and his eyes glowing in even the lights of the pizzeria, was still terrifying. Same for the tiny boy playing with his ears.

Tsuki heard the commotion and walked out of the kitchen, wiping flour off on her apron. “Calm down Bigby, it’s not nice to growl at customers.” She looked at the woman, watching her carefully as she smiled, “Welcome to Jungle Karma Pizza; my name is Tsuki, how may I help you?”

[I needed more Astra & Vampir/Haema content lol]Vampir was glad to see Astra sitting on the couch when she returned from the blood bank. She quickly put her stash in the freezer before joining her, "Hey! Glad to see you're feeling better."

"Yeah, physically. Still an emotional wreck though." She joked as she made room for her on the couch.

Right Bloodline, Wrong World (theheartsofheroes)

It’s a familiar tugging sensation. Something from her home world has entered this one. It is particularly powerful, though the transition between realities may have muddled that up.

The forest hides her footsteps as Sheba enters. There, not twenty feet ahead, she can see the other new arrival.

It is time. Sheba raises her voice. “Vampir, Daughter of Dracul. You know my voice, do you not?”

Heather sat at the dinner table in the event hall, picking at what was on her plate. Why did I agree to come to this? She thought. It was...some commencement ceremony for something. She didn’t really know- they all blended together. 

Earlier, she’d told her father she’d be fine with Lily, and now she’d lost track of him. What was left but to sit here, in a dress she was having second thoughts about wearing, toying with the overly classy food that was served. She sighed. 

“I hate this,” she finally said to her friend. “How do you do this all the time?”

Sakura looked up when she heard the door to Cafe Nascita open. She was partly glad Soichi was taking the day off at Misora's insistence. She smiled when she saw Gentaro enter and waved him over with a smile. "Gentaro-kun, I'm glad you could make it."

Gentaro’s not going to pass up the chance to talk to Sakura again. He’s got a lot to fill her in on since they saw each other last. “Long time no see, Sensei.” He smiles as he takes a stool next to her. Somehow, even on the stool, his feet still touch the ground.

I Don’t Want To Live in The Moment (theheartsofheroes)

The latest ghost Angela had caught wasn’t dangerous, just unusual in the grand scheme of things. No other ghost she had fought had the power to freeze time around it. Thankfully, her Eyecons were from different eras, so she managed to overpower and contain the ghost.

There are a lot of very powerful ghosts in the containment grid, and they wouldn’t take too kindly to some minor specter locking them in place, so Angela had set the trap to expel the ghost into a small containment unit.

She had been expecting some resistance. Most ghosts try to fight out of containment. She hadn’t been expecting a spontaneous rematerialization.

What had once been a ghost was now a very scared teenage girl in mostly shredded clothing. After taking a brief moment to calm down the girl, Angela had brought the girl upstairs to get her a shower and some old clothes that Angela was always intending to donate.

As the girl took the shower, Angela got a good look at the item the girl had had with her when she reappeared and her eyes went wide.

She has to call someone specializing in this particular relic. No, not a relic. An Object of Power. She checks the time. It would be 9 PM in California. It’s good enough.

As soon as the person on the other end picks up, Angela starts. “Abby? This is Angela Zeddemore in Tokyo. I’ve just come across something you should see, and someone you should meet. One second.” She takes a picture with her phone and sends it. 

“I’ve got to warn you, the person this came with isn’t who you’d expect. Can you come to see?”
