[Michelle] They're he-e-ere! sinanju November 16 2006, 04:14:35 UTC

Michelle had half expected to find the visitors already waiting for her when she got back from her run. It had taken longer to walk home than she'd planned. She wasn't quite sure when the visitors would arrive, but fortunately they weren't on a strict timetable either. She didn't really want their first impression of her to be the sweat-soaked, bedraggled appearance she currently presented ( ... )

[Marie] Returns marieindeluge November 16 2006, 04:35:00 UTC

Marie had gotten caught up in a book at the library, and had realized with a start that their visitors from Spencer were due at any time.

Lacking facilities to check the book out, she lifted it above the still-functioning scanner and taken it out, with a note that she'd checked it out, and what date. She hadn't seen any evidence that anybody was still there, but she didn't want to cause trouble, either.

As she walked around the corner, she saw Michelle greet three people coming out of a Hummer. Two men and a woman, and the woman seemed at ease. One of the men, a blond, would have been tempting had she not been taken with Syusuke, who she presumed was upstairs resting.

She quietly stood, watching the meeting go down, and made a mental note to write about it later. Bibilophile she was, but she liked the notion of recording history, and she'd probably end up being the one to do so. After all, history was what she loved.

[Xander] Definitely a Pleasure fikgirl November 16 2006, 04:45:54 UTC

(Wow. Do only hot women survive apocalypses? That's definitely survival of the fittest,) was Xander's first thought as the dark haired, nicely shaped young woman stepped into sight. She was somewhere between eighteen and twenty, probably, and there was something about her that struck a chord of familiarity.

As she started down the stairs and Xander shifted from admiration to professional distance and study, he knew why. Even without the Glock secured on her hip, Michelle's movements and attitude spoke of confidence, calm, and strength.

She moved like a warrior. Xander was plenty familiar with warriors. Something of her reminded him of Faith, and that brought an odd pang of familiarity and nostalgia.

He gave her a friendly smile and extended his hand, "Xander Harris. And my companions are the lovely Dr. Kayla Thornton and Jason Schuyler. Pleased to meet you."

(Very, very, pleased,) his brain silently leered.

[Jason] Something different newdawnjason November 16 2006, 05:46:27 UTC

Jason put on his best charming and harmless grin and stepped up to greet the striking woman. "Hi," he said to Michelle, also offering a hand, "'lovely' Jason Schuler at your service." Her handshake was normal but her energy seemed unusual to him. Not completely human, he thought, but not vampire or lycanthrope. He wondered if she was a magic user or a witch like that ball of light friend of Xander's.

Beyond the house, Jason also noticed another woman observing the proceedings. She seemed content to watch from afar. He wondered why. After so many weeks of being alone, why would anyone choose to stay separate like that? He really didn't understand the appeal of the lone wolf.

ENTER SHAWN (Travel time from SC to IL even with the stop in TN makes it about right ( ... )

[Michelle] The Buzz sinanju November 16 2006, 07:33:30 UTC

Michelle shook hands with all of them, first Xander, then Kayla, and last Jason. "I'm very pleased to meet all of you," she said. "And you're all lovely, if you ask me ( ... )

[Marie] Greetings, earthlings marieindeluge November 16 2006, 08:14:20 UTC

"And I'm Marie," Marie said, joining the crowd, noticing Michelle's sudden tenseness and trying to direct attention away from Michelle. "And did you know there's a nice little library downtown?"

Yeah, definitely the way to attract attention, she noted as several of the new folk suddenly noticed she was there.

[Umbisa] Unexpected Buzzing fikgirl November 16 2006, 18:41:31 UTC

Umbisa was awake before Shawn touched her shoulder. Centuries of training and honing her reflexes sensitized to her certain things and sharpened her awareness even in sleep. She felt the car slowing and had begun the slow process of waking when she felt the marked buzz of another Immortal. Her heart sped up, the far too familiar fight versus flight feeling pushing against her, making her war with the need to draw her sword and continue a millennia old "game" and her desire to hide in the shadows. Trapped in a car, there was nowhere to go, and she schooled herself to stay calm, feigning sleep ( ... )

(violet) watching as always violetscry1 November 19 2006, 02:19:54 UTC

ENTER VIOLET

Violet had been riding her motorcycle for a couple of hours. She had rode out of Bushvale on a “borrowed” motorcycle, with only a back pack of foods, and her cd walkman and three cd’s and a bottle of water and saddle bags with clothes in it. Who knew what she may find in Haven. She just thought that maybe, just maybe there would be more people there. She had left nearly everything behind in Bushvale.

She saw the “Welcome to Haven , Illinois - A Touch of City in the Country” sign, and she couldn’t hide the grin.

As She drove into town, she stopped a couple of blocks from where she saw a group of people gathered around a house. She wondered if she should say anything. She chose to stand there,and watch, to see if anyone noticed her. A loner by habit and need, she didn’t want to draw attention, unless someone noticed her. She saw men, women and kids and she almost smiled.

Maybe, just maybe, she could finally find a family of her own to take care of. For now, she would watch, unless someone spoke to her

[Michelle] Don't just watch! sinanju November 19 2006, 03:23:57 UTC

Michelle was taking up the rear as everyone began filtering into the house. She'd played grab-ass with Jason, but turned at the last minute to take a last look around. And a good thing too.

There was a young brunette on a motorcycle watching them from a couple of blocks away. Michelle observed her for a moment, then walked back down the steps from the front porch. She waved a greeting, then began walking toward the stranger wondering if the woman would flee if approached.

Only one way to find out. Michelle continued her steady approach.

Re: [Violet] holding it together violetscry1 November 19 2006, 05:31:08 UTC

Violet saw the woman coming close to her, and she looked at her. She had seen the ass grabbing, and Violet assumed that she was his girl. She did take a step back, but she didn’t take a step forward either. Her hands on her hips. She looked younger then her 26 years. Her eyes were dark, haunted and Lack of sleep was showing though the clearly tough girl act. Her hair was longish , brown, and dirty. She was afraid, but she refused to let any one know that. Part of her wanted to run, another simply hoped that maybe, here she could have friends, and a life all her own. Maybe now she could sleep with out seeing Angela’s eyes, without the haunting memories of her life in Los Angeles. Who knew maybe She could simply be. But now, she had to survive the next ten minutes.

[Michelle] holding it together sinanju November 19 2006, 08:35:23 UTC

Michelle approached to speaking distance, but stopped out of arm's reach. The young woman seemed drawn and more than a little skittish. She got no reaction to the woman, so she was probably about as young as she looked. More to the point, she wasn't likely to be after Michelle's head.

"Hello," Michelle said. "Welcome to Haven, Illinois. I'm Michelle Webster. I live in that house back there," she added, pointing at the huge old Victorian behind her. "Along with several other people."

"We've also just met two other groups. We were expecting one group, but not the other. You're welcome to join us, if you like. We promise not to bite."

Michelle grinned mischeviously. "Well, you know, unless you like that sort of thing."
