( The druid. And part of why he was able to adjust well enough in London. )

He still in Beacon Hills?
matriarchate: (eh)

[personal profile] matriarchate 2020-10-21 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
( That's a lot more than she was expecting. )

I'm here because these factions should know, they could all be in danger. Everyone in their factions.
unforgivably: (compulsory)

[personal profile] unforgivably 2020-10-21 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Most are. Some breeze by. I always make at least one appearance.

( It comes with being the only Salvatore in town. )

You'd think working would be an acceptable excuse.

( He finishes his drink and lets the bartender know he could have another with a nod. )

Want one more?

[She nods, because why not? She's having a good time.]

Sure. Why not?

[She'll probably wind up crashing in town and going straight to the airport.]

And you would think, but I bet they likely assume you enjoy such things.
unforgivably: (go ahead give it a go)

[personal profile] unforgivably 2020-10-21 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. I'm the quintessential guest. I make the best smalltalk. And you should see me in a suit.
deathlessness: (Default)

[personal profile] deathlessness 2020-10-21 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Then you should explain this to them.

[And it's back to her phone again. Davina already wants a meeting and says as much in her texts. Marcel is skeptical at best. Aiden can be in the Quarter in an hour, and will have Hayley on speakerphone.]

We can meet in an hour. That is, if you don't have anything better to do?

[personal profile] swillpot 2020-10-21 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Alan or my dad? I'm pretty sure the answer to both is no, but my dad was never in Beacon Hills in the first place.

[Robert Abernathy tended to keep moving as a rule, never settling anywhere too long out of paranoia.]
matriarchate: (poncho walk)

[personal profile] matriarchate 2020-10-21 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
I'll make the time.

( It's Allison's turn to move to her bag, pulling her phone out. She may be in charge, but she still has to communicate.

There's no unpretentious way of saying my faction is international and I basically run the entire outfit.
)
illtempered: (tail)

[personal profile] illtempered 2020-10-21 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Deaton.

( Not your dad. )

I was born in Beacon Hills. I didn't know Deaton. But, he helped ... guide Scott McCall. Beacon Hills High didn't have shapeshifter 101. Just Derek Hale and nobody learns from Derek Hale.
swillpot: (Default)

[personal profile] swillpot 2020-10-21 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
I've heard about the Hales.

[Not all of them are complimentary things. Peter Hale is an enigma and a dick. Cora is someone who's bad side you want to stay off of. Malia is a pile of question marks to most of the supernatural community,and Derek?

Derek's reputation tends to go up and down, but generally good. Generally.]


But Deaton and my dad go way back. I don't really know more than that.
illtempered: (content)

[personal profile] illtempered 2020-10-21 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
( He'll give Derek credit where credit is due, but the guy tried to kill him. And Lydia. And only helped him for a summer. Most of the good Derek did was after he left. Is that on him? )

Where are you from?
deathlessness: (Default)

[personal profile] deathlessness 2020-10-21 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Freya can respect that. And after the requisite phone calls are made, Rosseau's gets shut down for the day and the leaders of the factions begin to trickle in. First Davina, then Marcel, and finally Aiden, who waves a hand in apology.

"Sorry, more traffic than I thought."]


Don't worry. We're just getting to know each other.

[He nods, before holding up the phone with Hayley on FaceTime. She seems to be staying at that one bed and breakfast in Mystic Falls.

"I knew something would make me regret not flying with Klaus."]
beanchaointe: (Default)

[personal profile] beanchaointe 2020-10-21 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, she's certainly picturing it.]

I guess I'll just have to leave it to my imagination. I probably won't be sticking around long enough to attend one.
unforgivably: (drink it up)

[personal profile] unforgivably 2020-10-21 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Right. You veered off course.

( He takes another sip from his drink. )

Should you be interested, I have my own collection of whiskey back at my place. Fire pit. It's quieter. Did you have a place to stay the night?
matriarchate: (did you have a point)

[personal profile] matriarchate 2020-10-21 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
( Allison's called in her own reinforcements. Scott in from out of town and her dad.

He introduces himself, but for the most part stays silent. He's a strategist and hunter first and foremost and with Allison older, what she says goes. Allison still consults him in everything. Scott is friendly to everyone, parking his motorcycle out back. So, that's what everyone hears before Allison checks her phone and heads through the back.

She walks him in behind her.
)

Everyone, this is Scott McCall.

( He waves to everyone and sets his helmet down on a free seat.

"Everyone."

It's good to be here with everyone.
)

Scott's a big part of why this is all possible. He started the network.

( On the West coast when they were a smaller outfit of Scott, Allison, Lydia, Stiles, and Derek. That was tier one. Scott's pack helped where they could. But, for the most part he tried to get his pack to go to college.

"It started with Monroe in Beacon Hills, the town we're from. She rallied everyone together. After beating them back, and taking care of this -- fear demon -- she got away. She didn't stop there." And then he turns to Allison. "How much do they know?"
)

[personal profile] beanchaointe 2020-10-21 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[That is tempting, a handsome stranger offering to entertain her for the evening. But is it the smart thing to do? Yet to be determined.]

I assume there's some kind of hotel here?
unforgivably: (let me think about that)

[personal profile] unforgivably 2020-10-21 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
B & B. We don't host many out-of-towners. Most know someone who lives in this town. There's talk of adapting a luxury hotel-slash-spa. It's all talk.

( Tyler Lockwood isn't selling his family's house. Lotta red tape there. That, and, it's his. )
deathlessness: (Default)

[personal profile] deathlessness 2020-10-21 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
I've filled them in what Allison's told me. That you believe hunters are converging on New Orleans.

[She holds up a hand to her chest first, before gesturing to the rest of the people around her.]

I'm Freya Mikaelson. This is Davina Claire, representing the witches, Marcel Gerard representing the vampires and Aiden standing in for the werewolves. On the phone is Hayley Marshall, she's the alpha of the pack.

[Aiden smirks. "I'm honestly mostly just a glorified phone stand at this point."

Hayley laughs. "Your sacrifice is much appreciated."

Marcel, on the other hand, is eyeing the hunters curiously. "I'm wondering why exactly we should be concerned. It's not the first time we've had hunters in New Orleans. And unless they brought that fear demon here with them, they're just humans." He holds up his hands towards the token humans in the room. "No disrespect to the ingenuity of humans, but I'm not seeing the threat."]

[personal profile] swillpot 2020-10-21 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, little bit of everywhere. Me and my dad moved around a lot.

[He downs the rest of his glass, before shifting to lean back against the headboard of one of the beds.]

Supernatural IDs were only one facet of his business and ... not all of them were legal.
matriarchate: (reload?)

[personal profile] matriarchate 2020-10-21 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
One. Scott's not human. And, two, these aren't just human hunters. They're trained civilians. They're dangerous.

( Chris crosses his arms.: "The humans that converged in Beacon Hills had, maybe, a month under their belts. These humans have years. Treat them like a military organization. They're no run-of-the-mill hunters." )

We're not here to decide what you want to do, we're here to communicate. We're here to see if there's something we can help with. Don't tell me how far your factions reach, but tell me if you think we can stop this before it happens.

( Scott nods. "Do you have the resources. The man power."

Chris, sternly, chimes in. (Does he ever smile? Not often.): "They blend in. They'll look like tourists. Some may have already settled in."

Allison looks to Freya, and then to Marcel, to Hayley on her phone, but also to Aiden.
)

We're here to help. To stop this, or...

( To relocate. )
illtempered: (question)

[personal profile] illtempered 2020-10-21 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
My dad's a lawyer. Not all of his business is legal.

( He has money, too. )

You were brought up in that. He's your real dad?
swillpot: (Default)

[personal profile] swillpot 2020-10-21 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah?

[He probably shouldn't sound so incredulous about that, but his dad wasn't the type to take on something that wasn't meant to be his responsibility. This isn't to say that they didn't have a good relationship or his father didn't love him, because he did.

He just wouldn't have dragged him all over creation out of the goodness of his heart.]


Mom died when I was six.
illtempered: (greet)

[personal profile] illtempered 2020-10-21 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
( That's a bitter sip he takes from his bed, looking down at his glass. )

I'm sorry.

( Something he's better at doing now, after therapy in London and managing a relationship, is talking about himself. And talking about his parents. )

My parents died in a car accident. My father is my adopted father.
werewolfqueen: (4)

[personal profile] werewolfqueen 2020-10-21 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'm in Mystic Falls for the week. I'm not going to be much good to you.

[At least not in terms of logistics or sniffing out hunters. But she can put the wolves on alert if she can. There's not nothing they can do.]

The wolves can make space for the witches. If we want to set that while the vampires hunt down the hunters, that would probably be the most efficient solution.

["It's true. Witches can do our work from anywhere." Davina pushes up from the table and makes her way closer as she scans each of them, taking them in. "But I'm guessing the real question is if you're actually trustworthy."

And she's going to hold a hand out to Allison, seeing if she's willing to take it.

"I'd probably be a lot faster," Marcel comments, and Davina rolls her eyes.

"She's a hunter. If she's as good as she claims to be then she's probably already on vervain."]

B & B's are cute. I love a good B & B.

[Plus, you know, trying to be a smart person.]
