I burst into laughter "Otto, Nick how good to see you both again! Laidies I leave no advisement to date Nick... he's a pig... he doesn't know how to date..." I smile pleasantly at Nick and Otto.

I laugh "Yeah, don't date Nick. Otto is an ok choice though if you can put up with the surpernatural. Which reminds me, you're friends are a little high strung. They dogged me for hours yesterday on the site."

Ash's jaw drops "That was you!? How'd you get passed the security protocols!" I burst into laughter again... but cover my mouth as Ash glares over at me..

I snicker "You do realize that you don't have the best hackers in the world on your side right? Besides. I'm all knowing." I grin ferally at him and then turn a smile on my friends "Hey we're having bbq over at Marcy's today, you know in the little back yard area. You guys want to come? She could really use some cheering up after what happened."

I nod my head "Most certainly.. cheering up is called for." I turn my head to Simi "Your good at cheering people up aren't you Simi... cause your just the sweetest most nicest girl in the world.. yes you are!." I turn to Niccolai "I hope your friends can come the more the merrier.. we can have a small scale party... I'll bring the drinks" I chuckle.

I return the laugh "Yeah Bring lot's the more of us there are the better."

We hang out at Sanctuary a little while longer before we all head back to Marcy's place "along the way i magic a ton of different types of drinks into my vehicle.. we got beer soda juice water sports drinks... tea.... and so on and so forth.. we get there and i happily greet Marcy tellin g her it's good to see her again and that if it's alright with her we're all here for BBQ!

Marcy smiles widely "Oh it's so good to have company! It's going to be busy busy! Maybe we should invite some of the neighbors?"

I grin happily.. "Want me to run a door check and see whod like to come to the get together.. I brought drinks so no one has to worry about that.. i have more then enough for enveryone to have 3 if they need it."

She smiles "Oh that would be wonderful. I'd like it very much if you did that for me while we unload the drinks. Niccolai call your family and have them over, and could you stop by the convenience store and grab more hotdogs and hamburgers? And buns please. Oh aren't you just darling!" Talking to Simi. I pull out my cell phone and magic it to connect with Savitar "Hey Marcy's invitin you to the barbecue, get your ass over here and don't you dare wear a wet suit." I then, as I walk off the lot force a connection to Katra "Hey sis its me, Marcy wants me to invite you to a bbq, Sav will be there and so is Acheron. Can you ask mom to be there? I'm supposed to invite her too. Yeah thanks." I then force a call through to my grandmother Apollymi "Yeah, hey. I just wanted to say hi. We're having a big get together and I didn't want you to feel left out so I thought I'd drop a line and say hi."

Marcy turn to Ash "Oh your tall. Can you put this lantern light up on that hook for me? Yes thank you." She turns to the grill and gets the fire started "You know, you remind me a lot of Niccolai's sister, she's about your age. Their twins you know, her name is Katra. Beautiful girl. she looks a lot like her mother too. Her name is Artemis. She get mad really easy like. And Their father Savitar he's a sweet man. though I think he feels guilty for leaving Niccolai alone this whole time." Ash falters in putting up the lantern lights "Wh... what?"

Gema who is going door to door in the buidling internally winces for poor Ash. Poor guy.. but what an interesting way to find out... though i wish someone had eased him into it.. I smile happily as the door i'd been knocking on finally opens " Hello sir I'd like to invite you and your family downstairs where a bbq is taking place.. food and drink is to be provided for you so only bring something if you really want... if your coming that is... i hope you are... the more the merrier after all!" The man blinks stupidly at me before nodding "Uh... sure... we'll be right down... just let us clean up... and umm... yeah we'll be right down.. " he closes the door. I smile and turn to go to the next door.

Ash is starring stupidly at Mary as she had Nick and Otto put up some frilly decorations that the little girl had cut out of paper. Artemis has children? Twins? What? With Savitar? she said he was the only one! At least now he had another reason to hate the woman "You know... I'm not Katra's age. I'm old enough to be her father. As old as Sav and Artemis." Marcy looks surprised "Oh? Do you know them?" Ash nods "More than I'd like sometimes."

I bounce from door to door inviting everyone down... aa good half of the building decides they'd like to go... some aren't home... and i end up helping two nice old ladies down the stairs and one nice old lady up the stiars she'd just gotten back from grocery shopping... then i go back dowstairs and bounce on over to Marcy "A good half of the building is coming to this shindig... some of them might be bringing some food... i'm sure they've realized there may not be enough to around if they don't and then some may want variety.... and some are veagan so yeah.... variety is good." I smile pleasantly at Marcy and turn to Ash.. "Don't worry so much bud.... all shall be explained in time... you'll be more pissed once it's explained too... and yes i know.... i'm not normal... just like you my friends... but then... who around here in New Orleans is normal.... not many thats for damned sure..." I bounce over to Audriella and play with her for a while.

Once at the store I grab a couple of hot dogs, tofu dogs, burger, veggier burgers, rolls of all shapes and sizes and even extra condements. I grab some chips and dips and approach the store clerk. He grins "Haven' a party?" I nod "Yep family and friends, plus the apartment building we live in. Some anyway." The guy nods and rings it up. I pay him and then carry the bags back home. I get home and there's music blaring and decorations and lights about the small yard. Many people are talking or dancing. I'm surprised now to see a dark-hunter amongst the peopl, Talon. And a few were's. Vane, Fury, Bride too of course. Aimee and Fang(all better now yay!). I grin and start unloading the bad onto a bench table that's covered with a checkered red and white plastic table cloth. I help Marcy finish setting it up and then the real party begins.

I head over to Niccolai and help him with the stuff .. setting in up on the table in neat little clumps and rows. "we might have a fight on our hands between Artie and Ash... just so you know..."

I grin "Why do you think I even bothered to ask Kat to invite her? That was the point."

I scoff... then laugh... "figures... yeah gotta keep things fun.. but don't you think it'll upset Marcy.. shes had enough upsets recently don't you agree?"

I grin "Oh it's fine. She'll be going upstairs to grab the italian salad from the fridge when mom arrives and... Hey Marcy! Let me take over. Why don't you go grab the Italian Salad from the fridge yeah?"

I burst into laughter as Marcy agrees and goes upstiars I then turn towards Ash to watch the fireworks.

I grin and step up to the grill and flip a burger "Acheron! what are you doing here!?" I sigh happily, it wouldn't be a good party with some great drama. I watch the drama unfold and it's over by the time Marcy get's back down.

I glance at Niccolai amused "that was certainly fun.. Marcy will probably hear about ti from your neighbors... though you can always lie and say you tried to stop it.... but they'd have none of that... so she won't feel so bad."

I nod and hand the grill back over to Marcy. I walk over and wrap an arm around my sister " Hey Kat." She glowers but sighs and hugs me back. It's been a long time after all. I grin "Sorry ma." and the turn to Sav "Yo Sav. Nice shirt." Beach Boys, go figure.

I chuckle at the obserdity of Sav's shirt but head over to Simi as I help her slather things in BBQ.

I grin and chat with a lot of the people in the small backyard I wonder to Bride and Vane "You two wonder in by following your nose or did Ash invite you for a nice outting after the baddies tried to kill you?" Vane grins "Option number two." I smile and then offer my hand to Bride "It's nice to met you Bride. I saw you the other day at Acme Oyster House. I was there with my dad over there, Sav." I point wih the other hand. She takes my hand expecting a shake ut I bring it to my lips and skim thm over her knuckles "Vane is a lucky man." I smile and release her hand, wondering voer to see Talon.

I bounce over to Talon as I see Niccolai heading that way. Of course i only make it look like i'm head straight for him but i just barely bypass him and glomp the person standing behind him. It's Aimee... whose stadning next to Fang.
