The Tiberius J. Swann Education Facility

Who: Maggie and Kael
When: Friday night
Where: her room
What: Batman wants to visit Catwoman's kitty condo ;)
Rating: very naughty

( Catwoman would be all too eager to visit the bat cave. )

Who: All
What: The Halloween Dance
Where: The recreation Center
When: Starting at 8pm
Rating: Keep it PG people


The lower level of the recreation room held a spread of food to satisfy all palettes. Vegan, sweet tooth or vampire, there was something for everyone, buffet style and spread over every available foot of space. On the upper level was a massive, multi-room spread dance floor with thumping bass and flashing lights. The indoor track catered more the the college students, with club music and fewer decorations, and the ones it did have would creep out death himself. In the basketball court, high school students would find spooky decor and pop music and a well lit environment to ensure that all hands stayed where they belonged. Chaperones mingled throughout the dance rooms, keeping watch over the students and making sure the college students didn't get drunk and that the high school students didn't sneak into the college dance.

Of course, it's almost impossible to keep watch over everything all the time...

Who: Maggie and Kael
When: Tuesday evening
Where: the rec center
What: swimming, hot tubbing, probably some smoochin'

Maggie had really reached her limit with homework for the night. She still had a bit more to do, but her brain was melting. She needed a break. A swim and some lighthearted fun with Kael was just what the doctor ordered. And, well, she was serious that he could quiz her on math! If he was good at it like his brother, then she could use his help.

She changed quickly into her bikini and then threw on some sweat pants, t-shirt, and hoodie with it for the commute to the rec center. After slipping on her flip flops and pocketed her keys and phone, she set off. It would be silly to put on makeup or do her hair when she was gonna be getting in the pool. Right? And Kael didn't seem like he wanted a fussy sort of girl. She could dress nice when she wanted to, but she could also be really casual.

She showed up to the pool room and immediately grabbed one of the available towels before she started stripping out of the clothes that had kept her warm for the walk over.

Who: Lyle, Kael, Fisher maybe Nico
What: Meeting the eldest brother
Where: Lyle's apartment
When: Evening
Rating: TBD

Since Fisher hadn't requested transportation, Lyle hadn't bothered to send someone to the airport and pick up his brother. But like the cat that always came back in that song he couldn't quite remember from third grade, Fisher showed up at his apartment in the late afternoon with an overnight bag and an anxious look about him. "Nervous?" Lyle smirked as he closed the door behind his brother.

"Nah," Fisher lied. "I meet new people all the time. No big deal."

"Mm hm. Where's the Gayor?"

Frowning, Fisher dropped his bag on the floor by the doorway, which he knew made Nico (and thusly Lyle) crazy. "Don't call him that. And I left him in Vegas."

"Your handler lets you travel alone?" he asked, seemingly impressed. This made Fisher frown harder.

"I'm an adult, douchebag. I can do what I want." With a pause, he added "And I'm only going to be gone a few days."

"You mean you're not staying forever?" Lyle asked wryly, shuffling over to grab Fisher's bag and taking it to the spare room before Nico got home and started getting all... antsy. "Damn. I'll cry."

"Fuck you. So, where is the thing?"

Tossing the bag into the room and shutting the door, Lyle ran a hand through his hair. "That thing has a name, and it's Kael. And don't be a dick to him, okay? It's not his fault that this is all fucked up. He really wants to meet you for some reason so... just try and not totally suck, please?"

Taking a seat on the sofa, Fisher twirled a strand of hair, chewing on his inner lip. "I won't," he said quietly. "Or I guess, I'll try. But I don't really know what I'm gonna say to him, I mean... am I supposed to be reassuring or something? You're a frickin vampire. If that doesn't make him assured that he's not a freak, I dunno what will." Fisher didn't want to be the kind of person that someone might look up to. There had been a time when he didn't mind, but he had failed at being a role model so spectacularly, he never wanted a repeat occurrence. "Is he gonna be home soon? I wanna get this over with."

Taking a seat next to Fisher, Lyle patted his brother's arm. "He should be home soon. Don't stress about it. Just talk to him, answer questions. He's a good kid and a decent person. He's not gonna try and get all hero worship on you."

Who: Maggie and Kael
When: Sunday evening
Where: her dorm
What: watching movies?

Maggie had only been a little nervous the other night when she and Kael went into Boston to hang out. Because it was just a friendly meet up. Sorta. Though it had turned into more of a date as they spent time together. But tonight? She'd definitely invited him over with the implication that it was meant to be MORE than friendly. It was clear she'd been flirting when she said he should come visit her. So, naturally, she was flipping out.

She scrambled to put an away message up and then leapt from her bed to start rummaging through her clothes. She needed to put on something cute. And her hair was a mess. Loose curls going nuts from taking a shower earlier and letting it air dry however it wanted. She wasn't wearing makeup either. What the hell was wrong with her! She should have planned this better.

She changed into some shorts and a tank top, but wasn't fully happy with it. It would have to do for now though. Because the lack of makeup was a bigger problem. Maggie quickly swept on some mascara and lipgloss, the essentials, and then fussed with her hair before realizing it wasn't happening right now. Because that's when there was a knock at the door. Shit!

Maggie groaned at her reflection in the mirror before rushing over to greet Kael. She smiled awkwardly as she opened the door and leaned back against the frame. "Hey," she said, the nerves clear in her voice. "Uh.. come in."

Who: Maggie and Kael
When: Friday night
Where: eventually Boston
What: road trip and hanging out

It was a somewhat chilly night, though maybe that was just Maggie. She was like her uncle in that she was nearly always cold as a vampire. But Maggie REFUSED to wear winter clothes just yet. Fall, okay, but not winter. She wasn't ready for its arrival. Besides, fall and spring fashion were soooo much cuter. Though she'd kept her fashion sense a little bit at bay tonight, because she didn't want to look like she was trying too hard when meeting Kael. Leather pants were bold though, but it was hard for her to realize that anymore, because Maggie's taste in fashion had been groomed at an early age by Ava and Ana. At least her t-shirt and jacket were laid back.

She headed out to the parking lot as she and Kael had discussed and leaned up against the side of her car. Okay, so maybe it did look like she was trying to hard, because the leather pants and beautifully restored muscle car made her look awfully tough. Oh well. It wasn't intentional! Besides, she'd had the car for ages. It never changed. And if she'd dressed girly tonight, she might have clashed with its classic looks.

Ugh, she was over thinking this! Maggie tried to relax and stop worrying. She'd not thought much about how she might feel about Kael until Cassie went and started nudging her into thinking that sort of stuff. Maggie just wanted to make new friends. But now she was wondering if he was cute. So pointless!

Who: Lyle and Kael
What: Lyle meets his half brother
Where: CPS Office in New York
When: Later evening (around 8)
Rating: PG

Mrs. Kline had insisted on doing things what she considered the proper way, which meant that all the necessary paperwork had to be completed before she would introduce Lyle to Kael. But once that was all squared away, she rose from her desk and asked, "Are you ready to meet him now?" She waited his response before leading him down the hallway to retrieve the seventeen year old.

Kael was in one of the rooms where they held children while they were waiting on their placements. It was geared more toward younger children, filled with random toys and a television that was placed high up and played nothing but family friendly channels. He was slouched down in his chair, staring absently at the television which was currently playing some random episode of Spongebob Squarepants. He looked over when the door to the room opened, and then sat up a bit more when he saw Lyle, feeling his anxiety at finally meeting the other man welling in his stomach.

"Well, you two.. take your time and.. when you're ready to go, let me know. I'll show you both out." Kelly smiled and then took her leave, leaving the brothers to get aquainted in what was hopefully a nice neutral place.
( The second he saw the kid, though, there was no question about what was really going on. Kael looked exactly like his dad. )
