Should we keep waiting for @Undine or just move on to someone else?

conveniently placed in hiders to compress this post
edit: here's to the 200th OOC post
edit 2: thanks for the gold!
(TBA)Maddie and Haven are in the room now.
Edit: I can see why you wouldn't have come to that conclusion and have edited my post to make it more clear.
Alexandria Mason
Lex tore the white latex glove off her left hand and tossed it toward the garbage can across the room. It hit the back wall and landed squarely in the middle of the basket. Bank, she thought. She looked back at the man sitting on her exam table. He was incredibly tall, easily hitting above 6 foot. His dark skin and equally dark eyes were flawless. It's what made him such a good prostitute. People were drawn in to his smooth complexion and the glisten of his white teeth when he smiled. Lex smiled as she approached her box of gloves, pulling another one on with a snap. She turned back to him; Jackson was his name. She held her smile as she felt the glands around his throat, testing their size. "And what kind of recreational narcotics have you been using?" she asked. Sure, it was part of her job to know what kinds of things those under the Syndicate's employ were using, but she had to be more vigilant than ever after the text she'd received from Quinn. Orders were orders and she wasn't going have anything slip through on her watch, especially since she was on the front lines dealing with this new drug. Jackson maintained a impassive face when he answered.
"I did a line of coke about a week ago with a couple clients. They paid extra for it, but I was given approval ahead of time." Lex nodded, knowing the approval was sent from one of the higher ups. The Ariella Syndicate held a hard line when it came to the sale of the drugs but would often be lenient when it came to letting their prostitutes use with a client, especially when the clients paid heavily for it. However, they always needed permission first. Lex dropped her hands, finishing her exam. "That's it? Just the one line?" She looked directly into his midnight eyes. She had an uncanny ability to be able to detect a liar and it came in handy when questioning those under her care. Jackson held her gaze evenly.
'Yes ma'am. Just the one line." He was telling the truth and she knew it. She smiled even wider this time and took her gloves off again.
"Thanks, Jax. You're free to go. Give this slip to your handler and I hope you have a great week." She signed her name and tore a bright pink paper off her clipboard. The paper would tell Jackson's handler that he had been given a clean bill of health and could continue working. It was an inevitability that the prostitutes under the Syndicate's employ ended up with STDs or pregnancy but as long as they were given medication or the fetus was aborted, they were allowed back to work. It was the patients who contracted more severe illnesses, like HIV, those who came in with beatings from the clients they picked up, or those who came in strung out on something that made the job worth the effort for Lex.
It was a horrible thought, really, for her to get excited about the distress and poor choices of others but she had shut off her negative emotions toward the shady aspects of the business a long time ago. She was raised in this lifestyle by a cold and distant father. He saw no point in sheltering her and she learned to embrace the power that came with it. She was a quick study and realized early on that her family would always need someone to look after their health. And that's what they were to her - family. Her father had been killed when she was just starting her teen years and, having never met her mother, the Ariella Syndicate was the only family she had. She excelled in school and was accepted into one of the top medical schools in the country. She graduated top of her class and headed straight back home when she finished. She walked right into the office of the head of the Syndicate himself and announced that she'd be taking over the position of in house physician. She had busted the windpipe of the man they were currently hiring in to examine their employees so it's not like he could protest. Impressed with her tenacity, he made the job hers that day.
Coming back to the present, Lex's phone chirped with another text. She unlocked the phone and watched the text pop up.
We need you at the docks in an hour. Bring your gun.
Her heart started beating rapidly. If they were calling her out into the field, it must be something big. These were the days she craved. She glanced at the clock on the wall above her head. She had time to see a couple more patients before she left. She went back to the glove box and pulled out another pair. "Next!" she called out.
Maddie Tyler, Archon of Earth
"Corvus says hello to you and Eridanus." The tiny girl beamed constantly when she talked. She was like her own light source. Maddie found it intoxicating, if not a little overwhelming.
"Ah, Corvus. Archon of Time and overall nice person. Say hi back." Maddie scrunched her nose up at the idea. She turned slightly away from Haven and addressed Eridanus.
"No. You say hi to Corvus. I'm not your messenger. How have you guys not been able to figure out a way to communicate with each other yet?" As they entered the meeting room, she turned back to Haven, hoping the girl wasn't put off by the fact that Maddie was talking to herself. "So this is a little weird, right? I was just minding my own business at work and this necklace was sent to me," she gestured to the gem that hung around her neck, "and the next thing I know. I'm waking up on the floor with no idea what happened. Then Eridanus starts telling me all this crazy shit about the end of everything as we know it. How crazy is that, right?" She paused to look at Haven but the girls eyes looked somewhat glassed over. Maddie noticed others were starting to make their way into the room. She glanced back at Haven. "Are you from, uh.....where are you from?" She hoped her question would be innocent enough but looking at the others, the answer could be more surprising than she was expecting.
I should have a post up in an hour or so.
I'm going to have to drop this rp. I apologize to those it may inconvenience.
Naomi Kaplan
House: Ventrue // Rank: Kyres
Location: House Ventrue // Interacting With: N/A
Naomi had been up for hours. It was if the anxiety she had was eating her alive. Or maybe she was just hungry. Sometimes she couldn't really tell the difference. She leaned over the soft wooden desk she was sitting at and adjusted the lamp the brighten but only slightly. She had spent her formidable years hiding her reading and it was a habit that was hard for her to break.
Maddie Tyler, Archon of Earth
Ian shook her hand, giving Maddie a brush off. Well that didn't go as I expected. She wasn't really sure what she expected. Maybe a thanks? For what though? For the group appointing him their leader? She knew that it was a heavy handed gesture that came with a load of responsibility. The poor guy hadn't even really done anything except show up first. Nevertheless, they needed a leader and he was it. Right before he turned to leave, Aella approached the two of them. Maddie's immediate reaction was to prep her defenses - meaning she needed some witty retort. Aella, however, appeared to have an agenda made of better decorum. She looked at Maddie first. "Sorry to interrupt, but I wanted to apologize for my behavior earlier. The stress of everything going on got to me." She seemed sincere and Maddie simply smiled, nodded her head slightly, and turned to go to her room as Aella finished speaking to Ian.
The room she entered was breathtaking. The view of the forest gave Maddie a sense of grounding and calm that she hadn't experienced in many years. "I thought this would make you feel at home." Eridanus said in a solomn voice. It was as if he found the view as relaxing as she did. Maddie didn't say anything as she took of her shoes, feeling the warm, wooden floor. She closed here eyes and could smell the trees, feel the heat of the sun, and hear the soft breeze. This was Earth. The spirit flowed through here and she knew she found her true place, right here in this room. "Maddie," Eridanus said softly, "Lupus needs us in the meeting room." She opened her eyes, viewing the deep jacuzzi off the end of her bed.
"Who?" she asked.
"Lupus," Eridanus replied. "She's Ian's guide, for Gravity."
"Oh. Alright." She put her shoes back on and headed out the door. She walked toward the meeting room, attempting to glance into the bedrooms of the others as she passed. She wasn't able to see much of anything, which was a bit of a disappointment to her. If she was going to have to be working with these people for a while, it would help for her to learn things about them - even if what she learned was to stay away from them.
While walking toward the meeting room, Maddie matched pace with a petite girl with long blonde hair and wide blue eyes. She decided to leap off the bridge first and introduce herself. "Hi, I'm Maddie Tyler. Archon of...uh, Earth. What's your name?"
Can vampires sense each other?
Posted my sheet! Looking forward to the rest of them :)
Now off to sleep because I have to renew my license tomorrow and that means standing in line at the DMV at an ungodly hour. Goodnight all~
I'm on the east coast but seem to be early to sleep/early to rise...at least compared to most of the east coasters I've met here.
Since you're renewing your licence, does that mean you've had/will have a birthday?
