[LOCKED: April, DBFS Journals] Vortex Traps Aftermath

[twinpharaohs]

((OOC: The following journals are likely to turn up at some point: twinviziers, fmalchemist160/Edward Elric, stonebluesorrow/Zelgadis Graywords, toreador_saviour, lionheartedgangrel/Harry Potter, and any of the DBFS NPC journals (all begin with "dbfs_").))

When Yugi turns up in the Nexus to meet April, he looks considerably more battered than he ever has before, bandages wound around one arm and several cuts on his face held shut with those little white medical strips they use for small cuts. One of his legs bounces nervously, and he's rubbing at his bandaged arm. He's twirling what appears to be a Tarot card—or at least, something superficially similar to a Tarot card—between two fingers. Yami is nowhere in sight—for now.

"I have been trying to meet other vampires. Understand more about that part of myself. "

[fmalchemist160]

Ed nods slowly. "And... how could I help with that?"

[slayers_desire]

"I don't really know..."

[fmalchemist160]

"Only other vampires I know are these two," Ed replies, jerking his thumb at Kat and Harry. He bites his lip, shrugs, and says, "We'll figure something out. Doesn't have to be right this minute."

[slayers_desire]

"And I am glad I met them. And am curious about their vampire... clans you call it?" April glanced over to Kat. "But I know that a lot of things they do is different from what I do."

[fmalchemist160]

Kat nods. "Clans is the proper word. Harry could help you better understand that. I'm a raw newbie."

"I could actually introduce you to the city's Camarilla officials," Harry offers. "At some point in the future, obviously. I need to present myself first. And, assuming I could get ahold of him, you might be interested to meet my adoptive Sire, Beckett."

Ed exhales. "At the moment, I think the most I could do for you on this quest of yours is to play bodyguard. Or take notes, but I don't think you want me doing that; my handwriting's chicken scratch." He waggles the fingers of his left hand at her. "Had to teach myself to write with my left hand after I lost my right. Anyway, I'm fine bodyguarding for ya, if you think you need my help with that."

[slayers_desire]

"I would be really interested in that Harry. Thank you." Her first two encounters with WoD vampires went well after all. Both Kat and Harry are great people to know.

April raises an eyebrow at Ed's offer to be her bodyguard. "I think it would ease the worries of my husband for him to know I would have a bodyguard around. That works."

[fmalchemist160]

Well, Beckett's a nice enough sort; just watch out for the snark. Harry smiles. "I'll see if I can arrange it, then."

Ed grins too. "Great! Might put him more at ease if he actually meets me. If I was putting the life of someone I cared about in someone else's hands, I know I would want to meet them first."

[slayers_desire]

"I am sure Clark would like to meet any of my new friends."

[fmalchemist160]

"We've already met him," Yugi notes with a grin.

"Let's start with just me for now," Ed tells her with a small smile. "Uh... just gimme a couple of days to get settled in first."

"Want me to get you a PINpoint, Ed?" Yugi asks.

"Sure, why not? Might need it if I need to get to April in a hurry."

[slayers_desire]

"Just let me know when is a good time. We will make it work."

[fmalchemist160]

Ed gives her a thumbs-up. "I'll get a message to you, probably some time in the next week or so."

[slayers_desire]

((I think we can end here. Clark-mun and I are starting a new thread this week. But I will touch base with him when we can do a meeting scene))

[fmalchemist160]

((Works for me! I think this is the longest running thread I've ever been in, both comment-count-wise and actual time taken ^_^;;))
