What now? ((Open))

In Ginnie's mind things just seemed to never end for her Clan. She knew with out a doubt they were going to be pinned for this. She also knew that is was not officially their kill. If it had been it would have been her explosives and her job, but she knew nothing about it. Ok maybe she was being arrogant, but as far as she knew she was the only munitions developer at Duibne and in Tacharan.

She sighed softly as she and Alec got off the elevator on their floor. She had lots of questions and wanted to see what her fellow Clansmen were thinking on this so she decided clean up would be fast then she and Alec would head to the main floor to see what was what.

She dropped the bloody sheet and her scrubs into the bin that went to the incinerator and pulled several bags of blood from her refrigerator. She poured two into a glass for herself and did the same for Alec. She drank as she stood naked in her kitchen, bits of metal and glass, and a lot of blood, running down her arm, leg and back.

Finished, she handed her glass to Alec and let him take care of them as she headed to the shower, blood dripping on the floor as she went. The cleaning crew was going to hate her.

Her mind reeled as she washed he remainder of the blood and debris down the drain. The back of her arm, neck, shoulder, and leg were covered in angry red lines, it would take another day or some serious feeding for them to heal completely, but they were her smallest concern at the moment.

She and Alec changed clothes, and headed back to the first and main floor of the Domicile, waiting for, and hoping the rest of their Clan would show up. She wanted to make sure everyone was still alive, but mostly she hoped Simon or Carol would be around to answer some questions and give orders.



((I figured we all needed some place to gather. Feel free to approach Ginnie and Alec or completely ignore us. If this is out of place feel free to smack me upside the head and lock or remove this.

Alec drug around with permission))

The questions surrounding the explosion still swirled in Mathias' mind. And with Shay at home and not in a good mood,he decided that perhaps The Domicile might provide some refuge.

Heading inside,he noticed Alec and Ginnie sitting inside the lobby. Perhaps they too seek answers to questions he thought to himself Besides I have been meaning to spend more time with them both..Shay says I need friends. Over a millennia in existence and now he needed friends...Mathias couldn't help but chuckle,knowing Shay was right.


"Alec,Ginnie" He nodded as he sat down by the pair. "Any theories on the who behind tonight?"

Ginnie waved at Mathias, before reaching around to scratch lightly at her shoulder.

"I have a few. Could have been aliens, or the CIA. Smells like a Tacharan hit though and that has me worried. They say if it looks like a rat and smells like a rat then people are gunna believe it's a rat.

Then again, it may not even be vampires that did it." She stopped cold, and began to laugh. That was about as likely as snow in Hell.

Alec shrugged.

Well, I'm good at the other end of things. We know it wasn't Tacharan sanctioned. We know it isn't Evenhet. Anantya doesn't make sense. That leaves a pretty limited field, unless there is something new and unpleasant joining the fray. That bothers me more than the guv'mint, say. Something wholly unexpected.

I just want a clear cut direction, like go swipe so-and-so's personal files, tap such-and-such's house, push what-was-his-name down some stairs and don't get caught. I'll leave this whole "figuring stuff out" thing to the older or smarter folks. Can't let the kindergartners run the show, after all.

Barefoot and covered in blood, Lotus emerged from the elevator. She had one shoe in tow. She was blessed in the ability department. She sustained minimal damage, and most of her wounds had already closed. Just streams of drying blood remained.

"Well. That was a blast!" Lotus said sarcastically, yet straight-faced. A smile crept across her face. She thought that was pretty funny. She blew a tousled piece of hair out of her eyes.

Taking a seat, she surveyed the bottom of her feet. Spotting the culprit, she dug out the last of the glass. She straightened up and relaxed a little bit. She was in dire need of a shower, and hoped Simon or Carol would be by soon to sort out the night's events.

Lotus knew there was a ton of dead people, but she didn't know if any of the dead were clan members. "Did we lose anyone?"

Chuckling, Alec nodded in greeting again to the woman who smelled of flowers. Maybe he could start a conversation without anything blowing up and interrupting it this time. Shaking his head to the negative at her query, he stated

I waited until everyone was clear. Everyone who was part of the fesitivities and there with Clan knowledge got out fine. So...let's try this again without the room blowing up this time. We're Alec, Ginnie and Mathias. I'd offer you refreshments, but they all got blown up.

Carol emerged from her office door freshly showered and changed. The scratches on her face made the skin feel tight but she managed to put a teeny bit of aloe on it to soften it up and lessen any scarring. Looked like a good portion of the gang was in the lobby discussing tonight's event. She quietly approached them, explanation of Simon's whereabouts ready, although she had avoided him heading back to the Domicile.

'Ladies..gentlemen...I'm guessing this is the after event coffee and cigars portion of our evening?' Sitting on the edge of one of the leather couches, she smoothed out her jeans. She had decided to forgo high fashion and throw on some casual clothes. A white cotton t-shirt with a rather angry red crayon on the front and sneakers were her choice.

Simon sat quietly in his leather wing tipped chair as he listened to Marthinus' battered heart leave the Domicile. When it faded, he stood and walked over to his desk, accessing his computer. Carol was in the lobby with several others. Running his fingers through his hair, he shut off the cpu and made his way over.

As he took the elevator up to the lobby, Simon leaned back and closed his eyes. He still smelled like ash.

'You're looking mighty put upon, baby.'

Simon did not bother to open his eyes. The ash smell was replaced by the softness of Ellis' perfume. This was all in his head yet he could still smell her.

'So Marthinus is leaving Nachton.'

The voice came closer.

'That is just too bad, baby. What will you do now? Let Carol run Duibne?' Ellis voice tsk'd softly. 'That's quite a pickle although having him out of the city might help with those coming into it. I think you'll thank me for not letting in anyone older than us. At least, anyone who'd even care to take over the clan.'

Simon sighed quietly and wondered what was taking the elevator so long.

'I wouldn't advise ignoring the voice in your head, Simon. You hear me for a reason.'

Simon opened his mouth, but not his eyes, 'I hear you because you're a flaw.'

Just then the elevator doors opened. Taking a step forward Simon opened his eyes as he passed into the hallway. Quietly he mumbled over his shoulder.

'...And that's all you'll ever be.'

Turning the corner he left the smooth steel decor and entered the marble and stoned walled lobby.

She'd waved at Lotus, but had had nothing more to add.


"Someone brought cigars?" She smiled at Carol and wanted to give her new friend a hug, but something kept her in her place next to Alec, her hand twined in his. Something was up and it made her skin itch. Then again that was probably just the thousand tiny wounds so newly acquired.

Listening to Ginnie's theory,Mathias couldn't help but chuckle. "Perhaps if it is aliens then we can corner the market on death rays - one must always think ahead!"

Her remark about this having the earmarks of a Tacharan hit reminded him of the conversation with Simon at the hospital. "That is what I thought as well Ginnie,perhaps by those elements that deserted us when Ellis died - but Simon did not seem to agree when I mentioned it to him." Outright dismissive was more like it, as if he did not want to believe it.

At Lotus' approach he stood and nodded. "It looks as if we all made it out, however I haven't seen Jan or Nova - perhaps Carol or Simon can shed some light on their whereabouts."

Almost as if summoned,Carol appeared. Having not sat down yet,he bowed towards her. It was an odd habit,and yet Mathias could not help but think of her as some sort of nobility,no matter how brusque or crass her demeanor - Carol radiated something that made you like her.

"Actually coffee does sound good,can I get anyone anything? Have we heard from Jan or Nova Carol?"

Nova thought that the recent damage inflicted on the borrowed white gown was actually kind of an improvement and wondered if she could start a new look as she stripped and headed for the shower for the third time that night. Leaving the dress on the floor, she cleaned up fairly quickly, never being one to spend time goofing off in the shower even if it did feel good on the parts that had taken a beating in the blast.

Well, unless there was company.

She smiled a little, thinking of Evans, who was probably at his own place by now. She wouldn’t have minded if he had stayed but considering he had just wanted to go home for quite a while now, she wasn’t surprised he headed off soon after everyone was reunited and accounted for.

Throwing on some cargo pants and a bright red tee shirt with a yellow duck, she wandered back out of her rooms to take the elevator downstairs. She sort of didn’t feel much like being alone right now and figured there wasn’t much chance of getting work done, so she might as well see if anyone else was out and about.

Not surprisingly, there was quite a crew hanging out downstairs, and she gave the group a general nod of acknowledgement before flopping down on the nearest couch. She closed her eyes for a second before opening them again, feeling suddenly rather tired out.

“Anyone got any gum?”

Though some of the clan knew he was okay, Jan figured he should probably check in now quickly just to check in on everyone else and see what the word was.

Now in comfortable jeans and a dark concert tee shirt faded and washed into comfortable oldness, he felt much better. He wandered into the main lobby to find quite the little crowd.

Seeing Nova's easily distinguishable head of hair in front of him, Jan entertained the briefest of notions that he might sneak up on her. Then he remembered who he was talking about here and gave it up as a lost cause.

Instead he hurdled the couch and then slouched down into it next to her. He had come up in time to hear her request and happened to be able to help out. Pulling a pack of juicy fruit out of his pocket, Jan tossed it sideways at her. In his best snooty waiter's voice, he said.

“Will the lady be wanting anything else with her gum?”

He normally carried a pack around to help warm up his throat before singing. Not that he had some of the problems human singers encountered but there were still environmental problems like dry weather,dust and smoke. The last one sometimes put there by himself.

“So we have any ideas who tossed out the big assed party favor at the dinner?”

Carol gave Mathias a smile but shook her head at his offer.

'Right now, well as of a few minutes ago, the Mercs that were left were not capable of this type of demolition.' Carol shrugged dimissively. She really had no idea who'd be capable of bombing or why. She presumed the Mayor was the target, but what if it wasn't.

'Here's the thing...what if they missed?'

'Indeed.' Simon replied. That's one of the things that had been on his mind. He still didn't think the Mercs had anything to do with it, at least he knew they didn't plan it. 'Keep an eye open and an ear to the ground. Let's see what we can find.'

Crossing his arms, he continued. 'The status of the clan right now is precarious. I'm not so sure they'll blame us for this bombing. Why would we risk members? I'll talk to Alfarinn, see what the other clans are thinking. As for our human front, things have shifted there as well. Marthinus and his son have left to check on the family in the outer regions. It's a preemptive show of power and reevaluation of the clan's holdings.'

Simon's voice trailed off. He wasn't concerned with the clan's monetary value. He was afraid things were falling apart.

Ginnie let out a breath she'd been holding, it was good to know their leader wasn't looking within for the culprit. However his following words had Ginnie nearly out of her seat.

"Simon, if Marthinus is gone, who is going to run Duibne? Who is going to keep the press out of our business? Is there another human face we can put up? And since I'm asking twenty questions, who is going to sign my paycheck?"

She gave a small smile. Humor as a defense mechanism always, always came at a bad time. Well, she'd just have to be quiet for a bit now, so that she didn't get shot by an angry vampire.

News got around fast in the clan, especially if it concerned a big explotion with Tàcharan member involved, deciding it might be a good idea to check out if everyone was ok Alex wandered into the loby to find alot of the faces she had seen before there.

Taking one of the vacant spots she smiled and nodded at a few of the people there, crossing her long legs she tugged a strand of hair behind her ear before speaking to noone specific.

"So.. is everyone still in one piece here?"

Looking at each person she sat back while starting to braid one of her long locks, her dark eyes watching everyone around her in a calm but allert manner.

Carol gave Alex a wink. 'Everyone seems alright, but this isn't really a surprise, Alex. This is how we roll.' She gave a snort and looked up at Simon. Poor Simon.

'As far as Duibne is concerned, we can run it from here, behind a figure head. At least, that's what I'm wagering. If Jacob goes with him, that doesn't leave us a lot of choices. I can't run it, that would be ridiculous. I'm sure Marthinus won't be gone that long...right?' With a curious expression, Carol deferred to the tall man with the stern expression.

He nodded, 'Marthinus isn't out of reach, with his advise Duibne will stay on track. We have bigger things to concern us. Find out what you can and don't worry, it can't get any worse.'

With that Simon held his hand out to Carol, hoping she'd take it. He watched her immediately and stand and accept it. There wasn't much else to talk about until they did more research. He guided her gently towards his office and nodded to the group.

Ginnie nodded to the dark haired vampire that had just walked in. She wasn't exactly sure who she was, but that wasn't unusual, Ginnie spent way to much time in her lab and running guns.

She listened carefully to Simon's words and hoped she was hearing everything in them that she was supposed to. As the couple exited. She turned to Alec with a grin.

"Shall we go screw up a crime scene or leave that to the 'professionals'?"

She waggled her eyebrows at Alec, her grin widening to show the tips of her fangs.

The elevator sped down to the lobby, that slightly disconcerting feeling of falling made Xander's eyes narrow and his jaw clench. Standing at attention behind him was a wall of a man. With his hand tailored suit looking crisp and his black hair smoothed into place X studied his reflection in the chrome finished panels. He wanted to make a good first impression on the troops. Image was so important with the youth these days. A corner of his mouth twitched with a smile.

Once the doors swished open and X had stepped out, the human followed at a respectful pace behind. In places like these he knew to be a shadow rather than a shield. Suprisingly, a small crowd was gathered in the lobby. X looked around, his clear violet eyes sliding over each of the occupants as their faces were compared to the profiles his staff had prepared. Some he recognized, others he did not. It looked like the game had begun.

Good evening, he said quietly. His accent was an amalgam of the various European countries he frequented.

Listening to Carol as she answered her question Alex give her a smile.

"Thanks Carol, glad to hear it"

Still braiding her hair she finished one lock, taking another strand in between her fingers she began to braid the next lock, looking from Simon to Carol and back while they spoke, feeling a pair of eyes on her she made eye contact with Ginnie, she had seen her at the previous meeting but they hadn't been introduced, maybe she should do that later, just then a deep male voice broke her train of thoughts, looking in it's direction she noticed a dark haired very sharp looking man.

Nodding towards him she noticed another man standing not too far from him keeping a small distance.

Letting the new information wash through him, he nodded.

Yeah, let's root around. Maybe I'll find a nice little something to bring home, if nothing else.

Turning to the elevator, Alec raised an eyebrow at the men. Nice getup. A player with a wall? Interesting. At the voice, the eyebrow dropped. It seems that the sharks from overseas were circling. He wondered how long it would be before he got to see the security on this guy's office. He probably had some rather interesting secrets. The rich usually did. Especially the pretentious ones with bodyguards.

Not as anxious to leave as he was a moment ago, Alec waited. "Let's see how this plays out. Might have another plan for the evening, now."

Nova grinned when Jan vaulted over the couch to sit next to her, pleased to see he wasn’t sore about either the blue streak she’d sworn upon finding him or the rib crushing hug. Even better, he had gum, which she thanked him for by snorting loudly at the suggestion that she was any sort of lady.

It seemed they were having happy detective time now that things had settled down after the blast, which was cool with her even if she didn’t think it would amount to much. She figured if whoever did this had missed, well, that’s what all the waiters were lurking around for; to take out their target in the confusion if things went awry. Naw, they’d hit their target, or so she imagined.

Simon did, however, bring up some much more important news, to which she reacted in much the same way as Ginnie.

Marthinus was gone?

He didn’t say goodbye?

She looked over to Jan, openly upset, and had wanted to ask Simon what gives, but it seemed he and Carol were rolling out. Damn.

Wait, not damn. Double mother fucker! Marthinus was gone.

Her mood wasn’t really helped along when a bunch of people she didn’t know joined the fray. She was getting that feeling that shit was about to get crazy and if things were going that way, she needed a fucking drink.

Never one to be subtle, she tilted her head back, her eyes closed once again, and said:

“I need a fucking –drink-.” She waved her hand in a gesture that suggested she would be playing the lonely goat herder in the marionette puppet show. “And I need some names ‘round here, ‘s crazy. ‘m Nova.”

Jan looked up as more people entered. He had sort of missed what Simon had said. Sometimes things filtered through the music in his head about like the parents in the peanuts cartoons. Wah woh wah <Marthinus> wah woh <left> woh wah <outer regions>.

Woah, what happened? He stopped the musical track or at least turned down the volume on Rammstein and played Simon's words back in his head.

Marty is gone? When Simon and Carol left, he turned narrowed eyes on Nova, wondering what she knew about all this. It seemed to have been a shock to her also, either that or she was still not taking it well. He thought Marthinus had become something of a more approachable father figure to her. Funny that, he was really young compared to Simon and even himself. Humans just wore into wisdom faster, there must be something that links wisdom to learning that your body can't do the crazy things it used to.

... Which meant there was no hope for him ever becoming wise. Ah well, he'd deal.

He noticed new people. Oh, look its like a party. Jan knew the brunette though and waved at her.

"That's Alexandra. We met during Addison's movie night but only briefly since I had to bug out... you know... the thing with the thing...to do."Â?

Thinking about this hellatious busy night, he thought drinking sounded like a damn good idea.

"You're not drinkin without me, Missy, I'm pretty sure you're a minor still or something. Who's the designated bored person?"Â?

Alex smirked at Nova's comment about needing a drink, when she said she needed some names and introduced herself she let ouf a soft giggle, waving back at Jan she decided it was only fair play to propperly introduce herself to the other woman, getting up from her chair she casually walked over to the other woman, extending her hand she smiled at her.

"Alex is the name but then Jan over here already mentioned that"

Giving the other vampire a wink she moved her eyes back to Nova.

"As for that drink, I think we could all use one.. me personally, fuck I don't know anyone around here, just a few faces, hell I'm the new kid on the block"

Laughing softly she moved a stray lock behind her ear.

Ginnie had stood to follow Alec, when a new person joined them. 'Well isn't he the show off. This could be fun.'

The dark haired vamp was called Alex. She'd remember that and find out what the girl..woman did for Tach. In the meantime, getting to know the show off with his wall sounded much more fun.

"Good evening yourself. And, just who might you be?"

'Yep, I'll stick my head out on the chopping black, I bet dollars to do-nuts I could kick his ass, and his little body guard too. I think this is the point that I get to do the wicked whitch cackle,' She arched an eyebrow at the suitman and stuck a hand on her hip, waiting for his answer.

Marthinus leaving was bad,despite Simon's attempts to put a shine on it. It could be seen as yet another sign of weakness from an already reeling Tacharan.

He chuckled at the brusque yet honest response from Nova. "I believe everyone here knows me...and you are right,perhaps a drink is in order...one moment."

Mathias quickly stepped to his room,remembering that a few things weren't at Shay's yet. Retrieving two bottles from the freezer and some glasses he headed back down to the gathering. Yes,two bottles of Staraya Moskva vodka should do well indeed.

"Here we go..a proper drink for a proper gathering!" He poured enough in each glass for the assembled. Lifting his glass Mathias turned to address them.

"Za vashe zdorov'ye! - To your health!"

With one swift swallow he emptied his glass,feeling the familiar burn as the vodka traveled. Opening his eyes,he noticed the new arrival - hmm...another lost child returning home or a vulture to pick over the carcass he mused


"Privet" he said,nodded at the new man.

Patting the couch seat next to him, Jan looked up at Alexandra.

"Come sit. I don't... okay, I do bite but then who doesn't?"Â?

He scooted over towards Nova and laid his head on her shoulder

"You get all dressed up and we went to a party and we didn't even get to cause any trouble! What the hell is wrong with that?"Â?

There were several people in the room he didn't know. The dark haired olive skinned woman who was pretty in a dangerous too lethal to handle sort of way and the man with the walking piece of meat behind him. He looked like a mob boss or something. Maybe he was an extra on the 'Sopranos'. Jan reminded himself that fucking around with the huge human meat shield was probably a bad idea, not for any fear of harm coming to him but intra-clan relations and all that. So no poking him randomly with telekinesis no matter how tempting it was.

Luckily Mathias saved the day with well timed alcoholic distraction. Vodka would keep Mr Big's thug safe for the moment. He took up a glass and lifted it.

"Cheers"Â?

Tossing it back, Jan then set the empty glass back on the table.

"Thanks mate."Â?

Leaning over to Nova, he said quietly.

"Do you know everyone here, because I don't."Â?

Simon took one look at the newcomer and then dismissed him. He knew of him, but Ellis was more familiar with this one. Opening Carol's office door, Simon ignored the pleasantries and took his leave hoping Carol would follow.

((OOC Simon out))

Carol's eyes narrowed as the new man introduced himself. The others had taken up to getting drinks, which she would love to have, but the notice of Marthinus leaving struck her hard. It must have just happened, otherwise she'd know...but why hadn't Marthinus spoken to her before leaving?

She did not bother to introduce herself to the new vampire, especially when Simon barely acknowledged him. He hadn't given his name yet and his appearance was not familiar. Out of state...more than likely out of country. More importantly he was in the database. Ellis probably knew him before her time. Turning, she followed Simon into her office when she noticed it.

Sitting on her desk were 3 envelopes with handwriting on the front. She looked around the office and found nothing else out of order. Walking up to the desk, she leaned over and read the writing.

Nova

Jan

Carol

Picking up hers, she turned over the envelope and immediately recognized his seal. The letters M and S were intertwined and stamped onto a red wax seal. She picked up the other two and returned to the duter lobby door.

'Nova? Jan?' She held out the letters. 'It's from Marthinus.'

Nova gave the newly introduced Alexandra a wave and scooted over to make room for her to join them.

&#8220;So Alex is okay then? And see, this is why you&#8217;ve gotta drink up with us, get to know people and shit.&#8221;

Mathias was quick to solve the problem of no alcohol and Nova shot him a wide grin as she took her shot, raising it up with the rest and adding her own toast to the mix.

&#8220;Fuckin&#8217; A.&#8221;

She knocked back the shot and nodded to Mathias. &#8220;Thanks dude.&#8221;

Messing up Jan&#8217;s hair with one hand, which he was pretty much asking for by way of resting his head on her shoulder, she feigned a philosophical expression.

&#8220;Trouble was caused. Sometimes, that must be enough.&#8221; She shrugged a little and gave a smirk at his question. &#8220;You&#8217;re doing better than me I think. Wonder who the new dude is, and I &#8211;still- haven&#8217;t managed to pick up that chick&#8217;s name.&#8221; She frowned and raised her voice back to normal volume. &#8220;Of course, blowing shit up is only cool when &#8211;we- do it.&#8221;

She shot Ginnie a smirk at that, imagining she might feel the same way, but fell quiet when Carol returned with envelopes in hand.

&#8220;Heh. Marthinus wrote.&#8221; She stood up to take the letter from Carol, though she paused and looked over her shoulder at Jan. &#8220;Wonder how long he was planning this.&#8221;

He snorted a little at the philosophical attitude towards trouble. Pushing a hand through his hair to remove it from his eyes after Nova tossled it, Jan sat up straight and tried to look offended.

"I spent hours on that non brushed look and now you've messed it up!"Â?

He looked over and saw Carol come back into the room with envelopes with their names on it, Jan stood up to go retrieve his.

"For me? And its not even my birthday!"Â?

He then noticed the seal on the back of it and sobered. Taking the envelope from Carol, Jan looked it over, tracing the emblem with his finger.

"Thank you."Â?

In answer to Nova's question, he shrugged.

"Not long I'd guess. Certainly he'd have let us know in person if he had been."Â?

Jan made his way back to the couch and flopped down into it, staring absently at the unopened envelope in his hand. He wasn't sure he wanted to open it and read it in front of all these people he barely knew.

Carol held her letter close as she handed Nova and Jan their envelopes. She wasn't going to read it in front of everyone here, so with a short nod, she entered her office and softly closed the door behind her.

((ooc - Carol out))

Lotus stretched her legs. God she felt icky.

"Lotus", raising her hand when Nova asked for names. Nova might've caught it at the party, but Lotus was sure a few of the others didn't.

"Well, since that is that, I am going to take a nice hot shower. I've got to get this ick off me before it becomes attached."

Standing up, grabbing her one shoe, she headed off to her apartment.

(ooc - lotus out)

Nova nodded at Lotus&#8217;s introduction and waved goodbye as it seemed she was rolling out. She exchanged a look with Jan, turning the envelope over in her hands, then broke into a grin.

Pouring another shot of vodka with a wink at Mathias, she raised her glass.

&#8220;To Marthinus!&#8221;

With that, she drained her glass and stood up, envelope still in hand. Walking around to the back of the couch, she leaned down and gave Jan a not so subtle nudge.

&#8220;C&#8217;mon, let&#8217;s go read.&#8221;

With a cheery wave at the rest of the group, she took her leave, heading for the abby.

/ooc Nova out

Jan looked up and noted the name of the girl who was...leaving. What did he smell funny? He bathed which is more than some seemed to have had a chance to do but he showed up and everyone was leaving. Or maybe it wasn't him, he wasn't the last one there after all. Deciding he had not somehow managed to offend the entire room, Jan leaned back wondering what actually was going on here.

Nova made her toast and so he reached for another shot in which to honor his friend.

"To Marty"Â?

Swallowing the drink, he looked over and raised his eyebrows when his sister suggested going somewhere to read. Maybe she knew what they had all been talking about before he got there and it wasn't anything important. Either way it looked like the party was busting up.

Giving a grin to Alexandra, he turned to Mathias.

"Thanks for the drinks. You guys don't party -too- hard."Â?

That said, he followed Nova out.

((OOC: out))

Jan
Patting the couch seat next to him, Jan looked up at Alexandra.

&#8220;Come sit. I don't... okay, I do bite but then who doesn't?&#8221;

Laughing softly at Jan's comment Alex took a seat, she didn't speak much she was more of a listening only talking when needed, watching everyone around her she took a glass from Mathias when he offered them a drink nodding her thanks to him.

She kept her eyes and ears open as the conversations went on, sipping her drink she listened to everything that was being said, after a while she got up from her seat, smiling at Jan and Nova she put her glass down.

"It's been nice seeing you again Jan, nice to meet you Nova, see you guys around"

Turning on her heels she walked towards the elevator heading back up to her appartment.

(( ooc. Alex out ))
