OOM: post-Incubus Dreams - Nov. 2nd

Sep 28, 2009 00:08

The last few days have been a bit nerve-racking for Damian. He has had impulses he doesn't quite understand thanks to his new connections to two shapeshifters, and the fact that he is connected not only to Anita but Jean-Claude as well doesn't help. All he has been able to do since the cult had kidnapped Anita and they had seen her and the other abductees safely home is throw himself into his shifts at Danse Macabre. Though Jean-Claude had warned him about the boost in his powers, he hadn't expected the club to move to a near riot when he stretched his will. Learning control of his newly-awakened gifts, which were oddly more along the lines of Belle Morte than his own sourdre de sang, has been an unforeseen challenge.

He hasn't seen too much of the other members of the new pentumvirate the last couple days, even though his need to be close to them all has seemed stronger than ever. The scare with Anita had put him on edge, but even though he shares four marks with her, he had left much of the recovery to the other men in her life, with whom she would feel more comfortable.

The strain of the effort to remain on the sidelines must have been visible in some way, because Jason had suggested a movie, and they had raided Anita's cabinet to get at her Disney films, which Jason had insisted would be light-hearted and enjoyable for this 'outdated bloodsucker'.

It's what had been stashed behind Peter Pan and The Lion King that now has Damian approaching Nathaniel in the kitchen of Anita's house. He is a bit relieved to have found the wereleopard, and just being closer helps ease something invisible inside him. Holding up the three-pack of DVDs, he tilts his head at Nathaniel when he is close enough to lean against the counter top.

"I found these hidden in Anita's video cabinet the other night," he says in greeting with a twitch of a smile and a slightly perplexed look on his face.
