Arrival Mingle

Who: Everyone.
What: The Chosen return or arrival in the City.
When: July 1st.
Where: The Districts of the City.
Anything Else? Feel free to make your own arrivals, or throw an arrival starter here! The party is open to all. As a reminder, language barriers are not an issue in the Tower.

The City hadn't changed at all in its time without the chosen. If anything, The City seemed a little dusty. The Chosen would find themselves waking in their assigned homes. Even if they were returning and had other homes. They would wake in their chosen home. For the most part, anyway, a few chosen had special ways of arriving.

The assigned housing varied depending on the district they were assigned according to their sin. However, everyone had a box, a welcome package awaiting them upon waking. Inside the box was an extra invitation inviting them to the tower if they so decided to come visit upon arrival.

The city was once again bustling with life. Cars, demons, and the people of the City moving as if time had never stopped. Business as usual for the returning Chosen.


The Tower

While it was not Aiden's district, he had talked the Duchess into opening up the ballroom, and Skiffell to provide food, that just didn't seem to end. The grand ballroom was filled with many delectable dishes, and a small band of demons playing big band music in the corner.

The doors were propped open with the music drifting out to help lull the chosen who decided to attend. A handwritten poster board outside the open doors displaying 'Welcome Chosen!' with about 10 smiley faces drawn on it. While normally parties at the tower demanded fancy dress, Aiden throwing a party meant that rule would not be abided. He didn't dig out the fancy threads for anyone. This was a different kind of party, put together by the lord of Leisurebrook.

While Aiden didn't plan to reveal himself as a magistrate, he did love to mingle with people and hear their stories. So he was there. He was napping at a round table off in a corner, his messy brown hair spilled over his crossed arms as he napped as if he didn't have a care in the world.

Erik steps into the party and glances around. Mostly, he's interested in knowing who else is back. He's never loved a party.

He moves through the crowd, clocking familiar faces, noting them, waiting to see if they recognize him....

Sara has tried to be a little fancy, even taking some time to put some curl into her usually straight hair (most of the time she can't be bothered to style it out of its natural state). She's using that and defaulting to her usual personality state of the 'life of the party' type to hide the fact that she's still disconcerted. Her problems aren't ones she can physically fight, and she really would like this place to be back to the way it had been before, with all the faces she recognized. She has experience as a time traveller and she can't go back to how it was before everything went to shit there before some of them took a few month nap apparently.

Being attentive to detail is also a skill she has (it's important when you spend some time as an assassin and halfway spy-type), and she can see a flash of recognition in his face when he sees her. She makes her way to his direction, resting her nearly-empty glass of drink on a table on the way over. “You have no fucking idea how glad I am to see a face of a friend that shows recognition when they see me.” It's felt like a breath she keeps holing that gets slowly released when this happens. Which hasn't been a lot so far. And then she moves to give him a hug; it's worth the risk (people have probably gotten a concussion at best for trying), ha.

He lets her hug him. He even hugs her back with a light pat between her shoulder blades.

"Are you coming back to the department?"

“Are you asking because you got your old position back, or because you need a coworker who you know knows how to annoy some chumps in leadership to the point they leave?” She's joking. Mostly. Well, not really mostly. Maybe like 30 percent joking. Either way you slice it, it's more a yes than a no in terms of an answer to his question.

[personal profile] prefers_magneto 2023-08-22 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
He gives her a look. "Do you think at this point in life I'm going to work for some local chump? There was one in my office when I got here but I sent him packing."

“In my defense, it wasn't the scenario I was assuming was more likely. The one you just described is what I was expecting. When do we start?” Meaning: 10/10, no notes.

And then a slight pause, before: “All your family got back here okay, right?”

and here is hot mess #2

Lorna almost looks like she just rolled out of bed: Black crop top, grey skinny jeans with holes in them that are supposed to be there, and flat shoes. Her hair is pulled up in a bun that's messy but not in the cute-messy way; in the actual-messy way.

While he's moving around, she's going the opposite direction he is. Back to the snacks, because her brother is a terrible influence and made her hungry for more snacks. She almost bumps into him, in the process. “Oh, sorry. Too laser focused on snacks.” Ha.

"You do look like you've been eating out of trashcans," Erik notes.

Without missing a beat: “Nah, I don't eat at my ex's favorite places. Too risky of a chance of seeing them there. Awkward.”

"Fair enough. Maybe you can find a compost pile somewhere," he suggests, but he's hardly being serious. "Were you here before?"

“Nope. Before this, I was hanging out with my sister in her magic shop, helping her with some .. stuff. Were you here before?”

Regulus almost didn't recognize Erik. I wasn't as if they'd had an extensive history the first go around.

But after passing the man a second time to fill his plate again, it clicked.

"Wait- You knew my cousin. Cissa- Narcissa Black."

[personal profile] prefers_magneto 2023-07-27 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Erik pays him little mind as they move to pass each other again, but that immediately piques his attention.

"...Yes. She worked for me." But they were closer than that. She looked up to him. She looked after him.

"We meet," Regulus said, making a small gesture with his hand to indicate himself and Erik.

"At a festival booth- the first time we were here." He sort of trailed off at the end there. Something about Erik (probably his height?) intimidated Regulus.

[personal profile] prefers_magneto 2023-08-22 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's right," Erik confirms. "I remember you now." He considers the boy for a moment. "Do you know magic? Like Cissa?"

He could feel himself being scrutinized. But he also felt rooted to the spot under that gaze.

"I do. Cissa taught me many things herself. Our families were very close." And she was the closest one in age to him (save his brother - considering how very much Sirius didn't want to claim the relationship, it might be safe to just count him out for now).

Speaking of familiar faces, here's one. Peter is actually not hanging around the food table for a moment, although he does have a plate full of food with him. So fairly typical for him.

He also seems to recognize Erik, so at least they won't have to have that conversation. "I was wondering if you were here."
prefers_magneto: (magneto listens sharply)

[personal profile] prefers_magneto 2023-07-27 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Peter. Did you just arrive again as well?" Erik asks, checking him over like he's looking to see if anything is wrong.
silversneakers: (cap)

[personal profile] silversneakers 2023-07-28 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah." He doesn't appear to have a scratch on him. He's certainly in better condition than he was when he arrived here last time. No broken bones or crutches. "I've seen a few other familiar people, too."
prefers_magneto: (dp pensive)

[personal profile] prefers_magneto 2023-08-22 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"How long has it been since you were here?" Erik asks.
silversneakers: (live in my mom's basement)

[personal profile] silversneakers 2023-08-27 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
"A couple of months. Things had settled down a bit." As much as they could in a school full of mutants, at least.

Kate might have had a nice, passable evening had she not seen him. Of course, she recognizes him. Of course, she remembers him.

She is a strong woman, however. She can be polite in the face of jackassery. It's what she does.

So when she sees him a peculiar half-smile crosses her face as though she is straining. Look what the cat dragged in! No, Kate. Be polite. Be the bigger person! You can do it.

"Oh, you're back too?"

[personal profile] prefers_magneto 2023-07-27 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
"So it would seem. Quite a few familiar faces in the crowd tonight." He studies her for a second. "How long has it been for you, since you were here?"
bossyboiler: ((green eyes) 1)

[personal profile] bossyboiler 2023-07-30 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
"There are," she says being diplomatic while keeping her attention on him. She is willing herself to be civil. So far, it's going okay for her. This is easy. Maybe he won't be an ass? Maybe he's learned how to behave? "About six or seven months. I'm still processing the time change. You?"
prefers_magneto: (dp concedes)

[personal profile] prefers_magneto 2023-08-22 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"Thirty years," Erik tells her, watching her for the reaction to that.
