Who: Ben, OT all members of the Bale family participating in helping the Slayers
Where: Avarice, before opening
When: Thursday morning
Somehow, whether through his cunning, his moral ambiguity, or possibly through sheer birthright (nobody was quite sure), Ben had recently become something of the Alpha male of the Bale family. It wasn't like you've heard in the old tales, of course. There was no animal-like 'pack', no one given leader... but the Bales always gave their respect, and in following, their loyalty, to those in the family who earned it.
Between tracking down and executing the killers who'd murdered his parents, managing to keep a peaceful-yet-respected business relationship with those considered good AND evil, and proving that no act of viciousness or brutality was out of his realm of possibility when called for, Ben had slowly proven himself more realistic and willing-to-get-his-hands-dirty than Bretton, more patient and calm than Bronte, and more cunning than even their father.
So... when Ben made the (for him) hard decision to offer his help to the Slayers against Killa Flash's vampires... it came as a surprise to his remaining family. And while some chose not to get involved, quite a few family members had pledged to follow him into battle. For some, like Brandon and Bretton, it was simply because it was the right thing to do. For others, like Baily and a few others, it was merely an excuse to kill some vampires. But whatever their reasoning, Ben had part of his family behind him, willing to follow him into hell itself if need be. And now, while Baily and Brandon had already showed up... he was expecting everyone who was coming, whether they'd previously arrived or not, to meet him here, to discuss what they were doing, and exactly what their orders were. He knew quite a few were very... gung-ho, and he had to set a few things straight first.
