The Bar at the End of the Universe

[OOM: Incubus Dreams Plot:
Nathaniel and Asher have a talk about Asher's relationship with Anita and Jean-Claude, as well as Nathaniel's with Damian. A few days later, Anita meets with Jean-Claude and Asher where they discuss Anita's hesitancy about a ménage à trois.

Saturday, October 26th - Richard, Anita, Micah, Jason, and Donovan spend an evening in front of the television discussing politics. Anita and Micah arrive home and continue discussing the Supreme Court case, but are interrupted when a werewolf needs to be picked up from a bar. Micah heads out, and Damian comes home from work, at which time everything goes to hell between Anita, Damian, and Nathaniel.

Sunday, October 27th - Anita wakes up and realizes it's daylight, and Damian is in the middle of the kitchen with the sunlight shining in. Things go from bad to much worse. Later on in the day, Richard and Micah have a little chat in Anita's kitchen. That night, Jean-Claude and Damian discuss the pentumvirate while Nathaniel rushes to Asher and they both cling to one another. Once individual conversations have completed, the pentumvirate plus Asher meets to discuss the situation, though the consensus winds up being to wait it all out.

Monday, October 28th - While at work, Anita gets a call from Donovan about a missing swanmane. Anita hangs up with him and immediately calls Ronnie about looking for the girl. Later that evening, Anita picks Nathaniel up and drives him to work at Guilty Pleasures. While there, one of the vampires goes batshit and challenges Jean-Claude, who demands Anita be his human servant for once and do as she's told. Afterward, Anita head to her raising, which goes about as smashingly as expected, and when she returns to the Circus, she runs into Damian and they have a small chat.

Tuesday, October 29th - Anita wakes up in the late afternoon, and she and Nathaniel take over Jason's bed. Afterward, a half-shifted and distraught Nathaniel seeks out Asher. That evening, Anita and Ronnie go looking for the swanmane. Richard rushes to Anita's side at the Circus, and they are joined by Jean-Claude.

Wednesday, October 30th - Micah wakes Anita with the news that one of their female leopards is now missing. Anita hangs up and calls Zerbrowski to see who else might have gone missing lately. As she's getting ready to head out, Asher and Nathaniel show up for a brief talk about what had happened the previous day. While she's out, Zerbrowski gives her a call, and as she's talking to Ronnie, Anita manages to get kidnapped. Ronnie calls Richard, who then calls Jean-Claude, and the pentumvirate meets to see if they can find their missing Animator.

Thursday, October 31st - Anita wakes up in a cell and tries to escape... and fails. Instead, she must wait for the cavalry to arrive and kick ass.


Warning: All links in red lead to threads with adult content/sex. The dates are off from 2009 because this all takes place in 1996, the time of the books. For those of you who have read Incubus Dreams, this plot is completely different from the book itself because... well... the book sucked and none of us liked it. :)

Also, a note about the thread in Donovan's journal, Donovan's mun is unable to unlock it just yet, but I tell you in the summary pretty much what happens. As soon as she can, Maru will unlock Donovan's entry.]

[OOM: Nothing positive ever lasts long for the Anita Blake crew. At the behest of Jean-Claude, Anita goes to see Asher, at which point, Asher decides honesty is the best policy and tells Anita about his relationship with Nathaniel. After that revelation, Anita confronts Richard and Jean-Claude about their part in the hiding of that relationship, and other truths are brought to light. Not finding the support she wants within the triumvirate, Anita goes to Micah, but is quickly told her demands are unreasonable and that Micah will not allow her to rip the pard apart.

While Micah talks with Asher and Nathaniel about the state of things, Damian finds Anita in the room the vampires use where there is a small battle of wills that Damian actually wins.

All posts were written in Google Docs with various muns for quickness and ease of reading. :D No warnings except for language and Anita's usual narrow-minded idiocy.]

[OOM - Cerulean Sins Plot:
Anita goes on a zombie raising, but the raising is crashed by Asher as he informs her that Musette has arrived early. She returns to the Circus where Jean-Claude, Asher, Damian, and she greet Musette, which ends badly for poor Asher. After the disasterous confrontation with Musette, Jean-Claude and Anita talk and decide to bring Asher to their bed. This, however, ends a little unpleasantly for Anita, and Jason comes to her rescue.

After a few hours of sleep in Jason's bed, Anita is called to two murder scenes, and she's forced to bring Jason along so she doesn't pass out at the wheel. She passes out at the crime scene instead. After passing out, Anita wakes up in a bathtub with Micah, and they discover just what's been draining Anita all day.

On the way to the Circus, Anita is psychically attacked by Belle Morte, and Richard aids Anita in fighting her back, though he wakes the ardeur in the process. Anita rushes to Jean-Claude in order to sate the ardeur, and she winds up having a hurtful arugment with both Jean-Claude and Asher. Anita confronts the men who had been following her and deals with the Feds over who the stalkers are. Then, she receives a call from Jean-Claude informing her that Dolph has picked Jason up for questioning, and she sets off to retrieve him.

Returning from the police station, Anita, Jean-Claude, and Asher talk, and Asher is offered an apology. Everyone converges for the banquet that night with Musette and her people, and it goes about as well as one can expect.

That night, Asher returns to his room to find an irate Nathaniel, and the second mark is give by the vampire to the wereleopard.

The following day, Jean-Claude and Asher talk about Nathaniel, about betrayal, and about love.

Finally, Anita goes to locate the serial killer, having to ask Richard for the use of some of their wolves.

A few days later, Anita, Richard, and Jean-Claude wrap up the plot with a meeting at the Lunatic Café to discuss Richard's behavior at the banquet and the future.

So, Anita's been busy.

In the meddlesome, over-protective, annoying way she usually is, but she has been busy.

However, at the moment, she is preparing to step back through the door to St. Louis. She had spent most of the time with her pard and Damian, but had run across Richard a couple of times. Tense, as usual, and the conversation always short-lived. She was always chasing after someone, needing to be somewhere else.

Tonight, though, she's seated in a booth, readying herself to go back to the city.

To go back, tell Jean-Claude about this place, and drag his ass back somehow.

But, before she does that, she's hoping to talk to a couple of people.
