Who: Sullys, their SOs and very close friends, SOs of missing Sullys, all other extended Sullys, and anyone else that might want to join the party.
When: Saturday Afternoon and evening.
What: Family get-together! Open to threads, sub-threads, anything.
Warnings: Could be some sadness over missing people and the door closing. Otherwise, no warnings.

With Kelan's help, Sookie had set out tables for the potluck, set the main dining table and set up a few smaller tables. She counted the place settings again to make sure there'd be enough. With a shrug, she moved the coffee table closer to the couch, just in case. There was a chicken pot pie in the oven that would be ready in time for dinner. There also a dessert pie made - from a type of fruit she'd encountered during her space travels with her family and had happened to find in one of the island shops. The fruit pie was already on the buffet table, and she couldn't help but notice how empty the table looked. No worries;the guests would arrive soon and she figured they'd bring more. If it came to it, they could always sweet talk Lacey and Isabel. Or slice the pies really, really thin.

Sookie turned on some music at a low level so people could talk over it and placed a few games and decks of cards out. There. All she had to do now was wait for everyone to arrive. There was a sign outside the apartment that read 'C'mon in, it's open.'

"What exactly did it do to your back? Is it muscle damage or did you have vertebrae damage?" Sarah attempted not to giggle in a very silly very girlish way when he mentioned how agile Miguel was, but there was no resisting the blush that rose to her cheeks. Not trusting her voice at that given moment she just nodded. Not only did she know how agile he was, she had used that agility first hand.

"Your DNA profile should be in the computer then. I'll make some that is more you rather than Sully, and more suited to your height and weight and chemical balances, that will due for now, but something that is more scaled to you so maybe all you'll need is a sip when your back starts aching you." Because she'd been there with the pain. For a long while. "That is if I have your permission to use it, I know he had you sign some stuff when he first took the samples."

Sarah made a face. "That was mine and Harry's wedding anniversary. But also the time frame needs to be longer, I had used... magic, a lot of it and it had awakened something on the island, something bad. If I have longer to plan, longer to set up, hopefully that wont happen again." She paused for a second, though her explanation had not been as drawn out like the one for the potion. "I feel like I may have to backtrack a little because you didn't know I was a magic user."

"I dislocated vertebrae when I fell from my horse a few months ago. I have not seen a doctor today, but Lyla told us that I'd aggravated that particular injury again," he explained. He did just catch the blush, and tried to suppress a smile as he thought back over exactly what he had said and how it might have been interpreted.

Darcy nodded a little as she spoke, just to show that he was listening even if a lot of what she was saying was going over his head. He blinked a couple of times, processing it all before he properly responded. "Yes, you can use it, of course," he told her after a moment. "Only... while I do not wish to be in pain, I wonder if it doesn't have something of a purpose. The pain tells me when to stop and rest. If I remove the symptoms without allowing time for the underlying problem to heal properly, do I not risk over-exerting myself and worsening the long-term damage because I do not feel the warning?" he questioned.

"Ah. Well, yes, that is certainly one to avoid..." he started to say, and then she was off on another story that seemed particular complicated and raised a lot more questions than it answered. His brow was furrowed with a little confusion, but the main question was quickly answered, and he nodded in understanding. "I did not, although I am aware of your twin's magic, and your nephew's telepathy, so it is not such a shocking revelation."

"Oh!" Sarah swatted at his arm lightly, not enough to slosh the potion or his coffee."You need to be more careful. If the injury is not fully healed you could do some serious damage. I'll talk to Rachel or Miguel about getting you a back brace for when you two need to be boys. Being in a wheelchair sucks. I speak from experience."

She collected her coffee from the table she set it on. And took a sip before she shook her head. "I think you misunderstood, this isn't to prevent the pain, it's to stop it so you aren't layed up for the rest of the day, or flinching just because you bow. If you have to stop for a sip, you need to stop what you're doing to make your back ache in the first place." Her cheeks colored again. "Er, some activities may be okay to continue until you're finished." No she didn't think about those activities with him in mind, but she had paused more than a few times herself to have a sip and kept going.

"Yes, Rachel's is more plant based, mine is energy manipulation." It was hard not to giggle when he said 'shocking', but not being a person that could hide that sort of thing very well, very long. Especially when she was in a happy frame of mind, it was obvious that she wanted to. "I'm sure you've noticed the crystal pendant that Miguel wears, it's a left over from when he and I switched powers. It's an energy collector, because I tend to cause things to explode if I get to happy or too... anything without them, anyway, it has some of his, the blue, and some of mine, the pink. If you pay close attention when we're close enough it will glow." She realized she'd gone off on a tangent and crossed her eyes. "I'm sure you have a billion and one questions, feel free to ask anything you want. I really like answering questions."
