Afternoon Hangout

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle slowly felt the spell lift off of her, and realized how as well. She saw Nate and smiled seeing him trying to keep her safe. However, that quickly faded as she saw him throw the guy out the window....a different window none the less, and continue to go after Brenden.

Yep, Belle had finally had enough. And she came to the ultimatum in her head that it was either going to be her yelling at Nate again, or walking away to both calm down and get away from all the violence. The last thing she wanted to do was yell at Nate again, so she felt she had no choice.

She got up from the booth and walked out the door, briefly stopping to talk to Nate. "Please feel free to continue to hit him. While you do, I'm heading home...if you want to continue hanging out with me, come there after you are done." And with that Annabelle walked in the direction of her house.

[Pepper Winthrop]

"I know right?" she gushed, "I always thought that those girls should have long hair, but short hair totally works on her!" she giggled, "All we need now is Fabio...er, Vance Beau," she preferred her art teacher's nickname that all the girls at school gave him. Fabio was indeed a fitting name for him.

Pepper made a sympathetic noise, "Awwww...we need to set you up with someone," she nodded her head, determined, "Maybe we can get you on a blind date!" Pepper for some reason had not noticed all the windows being destroyed yet, "Oh! What can I get you to drink?"

[Neah Brightmore]

Neah had held her tongue until not one, but two windows got broken. She was use to Nate's over-reacting, because that's how he's always been. She was even use to Dakota's since he and Nate were so much alike. But this was getting to be too much.

She didn't say anything as she left Cora and the others at the table and walked out the door instead of going through the window. Once outside, she reached down and grabbed some rocks. She threw them at Nate, Dakota, Szayel, and Brenden as well.

"You all are acting like a bunch of nitwits! The window Dakota? Nate? Would it have killed you to throw them through the door? Or even one stupid window? And you..." Neah said, turning her gaze to Szayel, her eyes full of rage, "How can you expect any self-respecting guy to just walk away when you treat them like a pathetic waste of space? Honestly? How would you like it if someone treated you like you were scum? Just because you're strong and whatnot doesn't mean you have to go and flaunt it!" She said, her voice perfectly even but harsh. She then turned her attention to Brenden, "You.. you're probably the worst of all, and you deserved everything that Nate gave you and then some.. you really are a pervert. is the only way you can get a girl by surprising her or.. "charming" her?" Neah was fuming now..

As if suddenly remembering who had started the whole thing to begin with, she turned to look at Bree who was looking through one of the broken windows. "You.. if you hadn't have jumped to conclusions, none of this would have happened. All of this is your fault too."

[Szayel]

Szayel kept his hand on his forehead as Neah chewed him to bits. His brows unfurrowed, and if he were a lycan, that tail of his would be between his legs. Szayel stood straight and was absolutely speechless. Speechless and thoughtless and wide-eyed. When he unpetrified, he'd realize she was right, but right now, he hadn't been so scared in centuries.

Meanwhile, from Grapha's point of view...

Having been completely forgotten about, he sat there from his chair and watched, sipping his water. He was glad he wasn't involved. This was hilarious. Riley probably thought less so, but come on... this was gold! Grapha tapped the table, like people do at fancy restaurants when asking for a server, and hailed Pepper.

"Um, Pepper? Not to trouble you, but could I get a refill?"

[Dakota Neloe]

Dakota was ready for Szayel's worst, seeing the aggravation growing in his eyes, but what came next even surprised Dakota. He heard another crash and the next the he knew, he was headbutting Szayel. Talk about a iron head! Dang that guys head was like hitting one's head on a metal bar! Dakota sat up, rubbing his forehead when he then felt a rock hit him as well and saw it was Neah.

Normally, he wouldn't lash out at Neah ever, but after being under attack all day with straight down talking towards him. He did so.

"Well Neah, I warned him, if he did it again, he would go threw the window! He heard me and could have stepped away like I did. He didn't, and that isn't my issue and as you said, I've had it up to HERE today with everyone treating me like I'm a piece of trash, I'm a half-blood, now you almighty vampire...GET THE F*** OVER IT!" He stated then took a deep breath and just laid on the ground. It was best for no one to talk to him right now.

[Nate Brightmore]

Nate was still beating up Brenden when Belle came and said what she did, he stood up, watched Belle walking away, and he knew that he once again screwed up royaly. This made him even more furious, furious at himself for perhaps over-reacting when he thought that Szayel was on a date with Neah, as well as his reaction when Brenden kissed Annabelle, AND he was even more furious at Brenden.

His fist was once more about to make contact with Brenden when he felt a rock hit him. He growled and turned around, ready to attack but all idea of attacking stopped as soon as he saw that it was Neah. He stood there shocked as Neah went on a rampage. Once she was done yelling at everyone, Nate still didn't know what to do.. he opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Instead, he walked over toward the building and sat down, facing the wall. His mood was gloomier than ever. Sure it was bad enough that his girlfriend was probably angry at him.. but Neah.. his sister, his twin.. the person that was to be with him through thick and thin was angry at him. And oh boy was she angry...

[Cora Remis]

Cora waited a while for the tension to release some. Her first instinct was to rush out to Dakota and tell him that everything was going to be fine. But she knew better than to intrude when the situation was so volitile. After waiting what she thought was a good amount of time, she ordered a cup of blood (in a styrofoam cup) and walked out to Dakota.

She sat down close to him, but not touching, and without saying a word, she held out the drink. She also didn't look at him, she was too nervous to do this. So instead, she kept her eyes on the cup that she was offering.

[Neah Brightmore]

Neah sighed and looked a little surprised at her own outburst. She looked at both Dakota and Nate.. 'Well this isnt' pretty' she thought. She decided to go attend to Nate first. He always got darkly depressed when they had an argument. She understood it of course, even before their parents died, Neah and Nate were often the only one the other had.

She walked over to Nate and put her hand on his shoulder, "I'm sorry brother. I shouldn't have lost it like that." She said, and even bent down to kiss the top of his head the way a mother would a child.

Nate looked up at her, "I'm sorry, I should try to keep control of my anger.. so you really aren't on a date?"

Neah couldn't help but giggle, "No, no date.. just hanging with some friends. I met someone that you'd like to meet but right now... I think you should go after Belle. She wasn't too happy." she said. She offered Nate her hand, and when he took it, she pulled him up.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. But we're okay?" He asked. Neah nodded and Nate hugged her before rushing in the same direction that Belle had went.

Neah watched Nate run off, shook her head, and then turned to look over at Dakota. But when she saw that Cora had just sat down with him, she decided to wait a moment.

[Dakota Neloe]

Dakota was still fuming even after everything had calmed down. He wasn't really paying much attention to his surroundings, but had gotten a quick whiff of blood, the one thing he couldn't ignore, even if he wanted to. He looked over to see where the smell was coming from and saw it was Cora, with a cup in her hand.

He took the cup and looked into it, sure enough, there was blood in the cup. He then looked back up at Cora and wanted to smile but couldn't.

"Sorry for snapping like that earlier, it wasn't right for me to do, what I would recommend you do now is just go hang out with Neah, I'm gonna need a little more time to cool down, but I promise I'll hang out with you two soon." He commented then brought the cup up to his lips and drank a little but of it when he realized he hadn't thanked her for the cup and looked back over at her, moving the drink away slightly.

"...Oh...and thanks for the cup..." He said, now feeling slightly better as started to drink it again.

[Nyx Pavoninus]

Nyx's eyes widened when Pepper mentioned blind dates, "Oh no.. I wouldn't know what to do on a date.. I prefer to watch others on dates and sigh at how romantic it all is." She said.

"You're right, Fabio is a perfect name for our art teacher, I can't wait for us to go back to that class, he's so dreamy." She said, and sighed as she looked off into space. But she blinked back to reality when Pepper asked her what she wanted to drink.

"Hm? Oooh, hm.. how about some Rose Tea? It's such a lovely drink." She said.

[Cora Remis]

Cora nodded and stood up, dusting off her clothes then walked over to where Neah was standing. She tried to smile at Neah, but decided that she should go back inside the restaurant for a little bit, though she stayed within range of Dakota incase he wanted to find her once he felt better.

She smelled other vampires in the room, one of which she didn't really recognize and she searched her out. Finding a vampire girl sitting with an unknown hunter. She studied the vampire for a moment, then decided to just sit at an empty table, waiting for either Dakota or someone to return.

[Micah Brightmore]

Micah had went by to pick Alex up, and had decided to bring her to Chimera. After all, this was a place that he could fill his own thirst for blood. Perhaps he could have it spiked with alcohol to get through the date. Though he would have to admit to being somewhat attracted to Alex, if not for her beauty (which was almost nonexistant) then for her power.. yes, power was definately attractive.

He noticed that the restaurant had a window broken, and was curious as to what happened, but not enough to find someone to talk to. Though his steps did slow once he saw his neice standing near the front of the building, looking at a boy that kind of resembled Nate.

He couldn't help but smile slightly when he spotted Neah, remembering the last time he spoke to her, he had basically admitted that he had been the one to cause her parents' death.

"Oh dear, I wonder what happened here.." He said, indicating the window to Alex.

[Alex MacWyatt]

Alex was wearing a really frilly green dress with satin trim. She thought the green complemented her hair so nicely. The dress also had a daring neck-line that displayed her hairy chest. She had curled her hair and piled it on her head so that her curls framed her manly face. She had decided to enhance her already "sexy" eyes by applying makeup. She thought she looked like a dream, but she really looked more like a drag queen with the black eyeliner and blue eye shadow (she took some advice from her best friend on the matter). She wore high heels, six inches tall. The shoes displayed her hobbit-like feet.

Oh yes, Alex thought that she was looking smokin' hot.

"Oh Micah! It is so thoughtful of you to bring me to the Chimera! It really is one of the best places to go!" Alex loved eating here, but she was too cheap to want to pay money to come. But now that she had a rich beau, she didn't really mind.

Of course, her happiness in hanging off the arm of a handsome rich guy was dulled when she saw the window. She stared at it quietly for several minutes. The look she was giving the broken window shards was deadly, to say the least.

"WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?" she shouted to the general public, her beefy hands turned into fists, "SOMEONE'S GOING TO PAY FOR THIS. IT CERTAINLY WILL NOT BE ME!!!!"

[Bree Aldertree]

Bree wasn't bothered at all by Neah's outburst, infact she laughed it off, but the more people mentioned the window, the more she kind of got annoyed. When Alex caused a ruckus about the window Bree sighed.

"All this noise over a silly broken window? I'll fix it with no problem," she said without really thinking. She raised her hand up in the air slightly and snapped her fingers while mumbling a few words under her breath. Almost instantly, the window was fixed.

"See? All better." She said. Of course, she had never taken into account that there were some people around that didnt know about magic or sorcerers, in ways like this she was very much like her uncle Julius.

[Pepper Winthrop]

"You wouldn't know what to do?" Pepper's hazel eyes widened, "I think you would know what to do!" she grinned and started wiggling her hips slightly, resembling a dog wagging its tail, "I think it would come naturally, you know right after you get comfortable. But that's why I'm saying double date, it wouldn't be so nerve wracking," she rambled, "'Cause the worse think that I think could happen is being nervous on a first date, and I don't want that to happen, so I totally think we should have a double date. It would be so fun! We could retreat to the bathroom a few times and talk to eachother about our dates!"

"I think we should keep all the windows open and all the fans on so his hair has the greatest chance to blow in the wind," she nearly squealed, "I can't wait to go to that class too."

"Rose tea it is," she wrote her friend's order down, "I'll be right back with it," she said before she saw someone hailing her for something, "I just need to take care of this," she had not noticed the broken window yet. Her full attention was always on her customers...well, unless she was gushing about how cute some guy was. Then her attention was divided.

She hurriedly walked over to the hunter that was waiver her down, "Sorry about the wait. Did you need a refill?" she took the glass and said that she would be right back, "And your food will be done in just a few mo-" she just noticed the broken glass, "What in the world happened here?" she barely completed her sentence before hearing that mannish-looking she-vampire scream about the window. Oh no, "I'll be back," she went to the kitchen to get some help from the cook, Vlad.

"We have a problem!" she said nervously. She had left before Bree had fixed the window.
