Elizabeth's lounging on a couch, bare feet curled under her. There's a cup of something warm and smelling of liquor on the table near her. Her attention is switching between a book that she's reading and watching the different people.

She's feeling exceptionally chipper tonight. Though it might have something to do with the fact that she no longer has a wolf tail attached to her.

Come on over and poke her, I'm sure she'd share the couch.

There's a nudge at her shoulder that soon becomes a firm pressure at her side.

"Elizabeth. What's that you're reading?"

[boundxkitty]

She looks up but doesn't really move anything but her head.

"Minion. By L.A.Banks. It's interesting. Teenage vampire hunter that was pre-destined for it."

She moves a little so there's room on the couch for him.

"Where have you been hiding? You missed all the fun of Halloween and being forced into costumes."

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason shakes his head. "What, you don't get enough of that back home?"

He scoots against her again. Leopard, yes. Shifter, yes, and it's enough for him. A week alone will do that to you.
"Well I've been around. I heard about Bar's idea of fun...makes me glad I stayed away. She get to you too?"

[boundxkitty]

She grins at him. "Well, yea but this has a southern twist to it. And as of yet, there haven't been any shifters in the book."

She scoots so her legs are lightly over his lap. Comfy. Stretched out.
"Yea. I came down with no warning of what was to come, and ended up with a dog collar, wolf ears, and a real wolf tail. The tail moved, and felt...It was so weird!"

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

He struggles not to laugh outright as his hands rest on her legs.

"I'm sure you made a horrible wolf."

[boundxkitty]

She smiles tightly at him. "I make a much better leopard."

She tilts her head a little. "Though I hear that one of the wolves got to be a cat."

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason raises an eyebrow.

"Who?"
Was Richard in the Bar? Surely not Ma...well Max being a cat would actually make sense. Damn and he missed it.

[boundxkitty]

"Wait..Yreal told me his name..." She bites her lip a moment.

"Peter. I haven't meet him around here yet. I don't think." She shrugs.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason blinks.

"Peter? Peter was...a cat?"

He falls over her legs with a sudden burst of laughter. "Oh I will not let him live that down! Damn and I missed it!! Oh, it's too good."

[boundxkitty]

She watches his reaction with amusement. She found the situation funny, but then she didn't know the guy.

"I wonder what you would have been if you had come down."

She grins at him, "Yreal's costume was good too."

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason rolls his eyes. "That's right, you didn't see her little prank on my birthday. Let's just say I've banned her from my work clothes."

He laughs. "Yeah, I heard he was Mr. Clean. But Peter...have you even met Peter yet? Nice kid. He's a werewolf, but not like us. No messy shifts, no passing out, no full moons. Not a disease either. But then he doesn't have our little perks."

[boundxkitty]

Elizabeth perks up a little. "Worse than what Jean-Claude would normally dress you in?"

She shakes her head, "I haven't met Peter yet. Which part are our perks that he doesn't get, because he's sounding like a lucky wolf right now."

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

"Oh much worse and you can wipe that smile off your face. She took my whole wardrobe and left nothing but one of my G-strings. Needless to say I wore my bedsheet. Hell of a birthday."

He darkens. Yeah, that was the day Gabriel showed up...

"Peter...he's lucky. Only he doesn't have our endurance, or our strength, he can die from a lead bullet as easily as by a silver one, and he can't take as much damage. Pros and cons I guess. Maybe it was meant to be that way so if our kinds ever met, we wouldn't kill each other out of jealousy."

[boundxkitty]

If anything, Elizabeth's grin widens while she tries not to laugh. "At least you have the body to pull it off."

She nods slightly. "I think I'll take super healing, powers, and resistance to any metal other than silver over no pain and mess any day."

She huffs a little, "Though it still doesn't let me win a race against Yreal." She turns her head a little. "Have you seen him run?"

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

He stretches, making sure to show off said body.

"Damn right I do."

He chuckles and settles back down. "Seen him run? I've been on the deer end of one of his chases before. Just stay on his good side, or survival is a pipe dream."

[boundxkitty]

She makes a show of watching him stretch. She really does miss all the guys from back home.

She sinks into the couch, and rests her head on the back of it. "And how did the deer make out that day?"

She nods, "I like his good side. Haven't seen any other side, and I doubt I want to."

[inquisitivehero]

A man approaches, perhaps a total stranger, and yet, he moves like Hank McCoy, the look in these eyes, which arent Hank McCoy's, nonetheless look like Hank McCoy's eyes might look when he is looking at Elizabeth, and he has a nametag, which says Hank McCoy on it.

he stops a few feet away and then smiles.

"Greetings and salutations, Elizabeth."

[boundxkitty]

Elizabeth looks up at the strange man that has Hank's scent. Her gaze travels over him several times, while her mind graples with who he is. Oh she's seen the name tag, but she's not quite sure that she believes it.

"Hello...do I know you?"

[inquisitivehero]

he sighs.

"yes. It's me hank. I ran afoul of a bastard who is cursing folk in the bar. He robbed me of my mutatio0n completely. I'm human."

His voice is quiet and there is a true sense of loss in it,then he looks up. His eeys show a sense of that loss before the mask closes down over them again.

"I have been treating the others, some of whom are worse off than I am."

[boundxkitty]

Her eyes widen a little. "How...how can someone steal what is part of you?"

"How many others are there? Who's doing this?" There's anger in her eyes. She conciders Hank a friend, and she's still dominant enough to want to try and protect those that she cares for.

[inquisitivehero]

His eyes flash. there is anger there and a hitn of the Beast that still lies within his heart and mind, even if it has been stripped from his body.

"He uses magic, a foul kind that steals the essence and corrupts it. And there are at least a dozen cases so far, maybe more."

he shakes his head.

"We now know he is called the Other, an old enemy of Tim Hunter's and of the Bar folken. Many of them defeated him in the last time he camer about, but he uis back, whether dead still, or alive again. He is very good at covering his tracks."

then there is a very feline smile.

"But we are, some of us, very good at the hunt."

[boundxkitty]

There's a soft growl coming from Elizabeth. "How bad are some of the others?"

She tilts her head, like a cat studying something interesting. "You havn't been able to find a scent or anything to follow? There's nothing that could track him magically? God knows there are a lot of magic users in the Bar..."

[inquisitivehero]

"One's body is in a coma and has been turned into a ghost, one is seeing and feeling as if the souls of those she has kileld are taking ehr to hell, one is having an infestation of aliens be born and claw their way out of his stomach, only to vanish and repeat again and again. yet anotehr two, who are brothers, have switched minds and one thinks he is dead and is in a coma."

he shakes his head then his mouth twists.

"He is sneaky and powerful. He masked his power as another's at first and then used cloaking spells to hide it, but we are getting closer."

He purses his lips.

"Some of the mages are affected and some arent, but this madman is good, very powerful and very snakey."

[boundxkitty]

She shakes her head. "Well let me know if you catch a scent. I would be happy to hunt it down for you."

[ooc: I am off to bed. headache...can't concentrate...slowtime? Unless you can fade it.]

[inquisitivehero]

he smiles at her and extends his arm as of old.

"Thank you, my friend. Thank yuo muchly."

he smiles softly, then a small beepeing hits his ears and he glances away. when he loosk abck his face isnt alarmed but it is in moption.

"Got to go to the infirmary. See you soon, myf friend!"

And he is off, sprinting across the Bar.
