Recollections: The Coven [COMPLETED]

The "Second in Command", stepped up and explained the world of the supernatural... it was wordy but every piece of information was mentally logged. Blind were people with no powers or magical affinity, which he believed himself and his wife to be. But the next step was One-Eye? What a weird name, but he was mentally logging this. Now he wished he had one of his secretaries with him so she could write it down. One of them was one of these One-Eyes but Blake honestly didn't care. He was interested in magic, not some low life without them. If he wasn't being nice he'd tell them to get rid of that person.

Not only were they poor but they were also worthless.

Still, she got onto the meat: Awakened. Who were blind that went through traumatic experiences and gained powers from it and Blake... didn't see that as an option! He had money but he didn't want to risk his sanity in exchange for them! Then some Aberrations were beings given powers from Apparitions.... which Blake should ask a bit more about. They can give people powers by attaching, merging, and... even lending their powers to a human if they're sealed.

What was interesting was the whole bit about the Outsider... a dangerous Apparition that was sealed in this universe. He had to suppress the grin as Lynn - or was it Lyss? Who cares? - continued with her explanation of the Extra-Normal. Finally stopping with Adepts and asking about any specific questions.

"I have a few... what exactly are Apparitions? You say that they're spirits but would you kindly add details," Blake started. "And what exactly are you? I'm curious." He said with a toothy grin.

However, at this point, some chick walked up, and boy she was gorgeous... Blake wondered if he could rearrange the deal a bit to get a jab at her. Exotic, in shape, curvy, red hair... Blake almost found himself drooling. She offered to give Blake a demonstration and he could barely contain himself.

"... I'd love a demonstration from you," Blake said with a smile. "Show me what I'm buying as your friend puts it! Hahaha!"

---

Off to the side, Phillis was eagerly listening to Maya... the whole tight-knit girls (and one guy it seemed) with powers seemed to make more sense than anything. Still, she claims her power is destructive and that got her worried... what about the other powers? The whole idea of magic was scary... but interesting. Like this little lady. The demonstration was, hopefully, about to begin but she wanted to know a little bit more about Maya.

“But, if the demonstration they give isn’t satisfactory, I’ll gladly show you.”

Maya

Phillis grinned.

"... Sweetheart, I would love a demonstration from you," Phillis started with a wink.

Again, most of what was said did not register with Madison. She caught something about college, the forties, whippits... Something sounded fucked up in the drunken Madison's head. She was drunk not stupid. "Dis' sounds like you're tryna kidnap me for human trafficking," Madison more or less repeated what she said earlier as she broke out into laughter. Then she suddenly stopped.

"... The fuck are you again?"

There was a twinge of embarrassment going through Claudette's body. Not just a twinge, but it was like a fucking dump truck was unloaded onto her. Her face was red as Claudette could just tell that Vashti was offended by her comments. This probably made a poor, poor, first impression for the Coven but at least it was just drunken tomfoolery. And not their usual bickering.

Or the FBI Raid last week which probably made everyone just a little bit testy.

Claudette pulled on her collar, "... She's usually has a lot more of a filter, very nice, you'd love her if she was sober." Claudette desperately tried damage control but from the look on her face, it wasn't going to work. She tugged her collar again as Madison was carried onto the elevator.

She was just hoping that Vashti didn't want to add more fuel to the fire.

When Penny grabbed onto Odessa there was a brief pause as her jaw was slack and she couldn't help but frown. She solemnly sighed as she tried to hide that innate melancholy from Penny. Hiding it behind her usual smile and demeanor that she attempted to force. She took that as the cue to hop to the other side and wrapped her free limb around Penny as she held herself in place using her abstraction. With another solemn sigh, her arm completely converted into wood with bits and pieces of her shoulder as her arm extended and she mock-repelled down. Her arm had formed a mass of several wooden vines as they lowered into the water, the distance of which wasn't that far given that the ship was already going down.

"... I hope everyone made it," Odessa said, her tone was a bit lower and not so confident as she usually was. She wished that she could go back to check for the others, but with how the situation went... that was just suicidal. It was harsh but if they were still on the boat they were good as dead.

Odessa's feet collided with the top of the lifeboat.

“Let’s do it… anything’s better than drowning. I’d rather be on a floating ice block than trying to swim.”

Caelea

Jesus, Caelea agreed to Zoey's plan? Honestly, her head was spinning, ears were ringing, and her entire body was in pain... She had to admit it was a stupid fucking idea, one made when her head was killing her. However, maybe it was crazy enough to work.

Or Caelea was out of it as she was.

"Alright... let's give it a shot and hope nothing..." Zoey hissed in pain as she stuck her hand out and summoned a ball of snow and damn near slammed it against her head. It provided some relief, enough to make her think a little clearer. The water had hit the ice block they were standing on and Zoey used her abstraction to snap it off the wall (... floor?). Zoey's balance was knocked off as it fell a bit but she was able to get her balance. They began rising upwards and the plan was going well so far...

---

"Whew."

Hagan wiped a bit of sweat off his forehead as the squirt was pulled onto the boat and the day was saved. "Nice work, kid," Hagan said to Trent, he had to give it to him, he saved the day there. Hagan coulda did it himself but there was something he was missing as the boat finally hit the water and that weirdo with the beanie came back. He couldn't...

"Shit!" Hagan said as he looked as the boat was almost in the water. As far as he could tell; Penny, Zoey, and Caelea were still on the boat! Fuck! He left them behind, but... there was nothing he could do about it now. The boat was gone and if they were still on-

He heard a loud bump above them and immediately looked and saw that spooky-looking chick in the robe and Penny... with the spooky chick creating a giant vine from the edge of the titanic to their little lifeboat. Hagan raised an eyebrow as her arm went back to normal.

"Ooooookay," Hagan said to the two, "Glad to see you're okay, what about Cealea and Zoey?"

Odessa shrugged as she let go of Penny and was quick to maneuver over to the entrance and hopped inside - Hagan stepping aside. "I didn't see them, but I still sense a few Extra-Normals in the area."

"... Whatever that means," Hagan said as he shrugged.

".... YOOOOOOOO!" Hagan heard as he turned his head to see Zoey and Caelea... on a fucking block of ice. Now, Hagan's seen some shit and he ain't a stranger to the strange, but ever since "coming" here, shit's been getting weirder and weirder. The boat was pretty much sunk... and Hagan wondered how deep the water went because they weren't that far away from shore and it was sinking like it was out in the open sea. The ice block drifted towards the lifeboat and the two hopped on. Odessa just found herself a place on the boat.

"Whatever," Hagan shrugged as he climbed to the cockpit. "Anyone knows how to pilot one of these things?"

That was when Odessa felt it... its presence. The apparition. From the remains of the cruise ship, there was a massive splash of water in all directions as something came from the remains. And when the water faded... there it was; it was not human or even corporeal. It was like one of those Apparition things that Hagan heard mentioned on the Snapchat group a few times. It was spindly, humanoid, about fourteen feet tall, without a feature on its body. Its limbs were abnormally long, almost touching the ground, and the whole thing was made out of a moving black smoke. It had no head, it was hunched over so it's true height was hard to tell. Its hands were massive, probably big enough to completely crush Hagan's torso with just a grasp and each finger ended sharp and pointy like a claw. By comparison, its feet were tiny and human-like, but not like it was using them - it was hovering up and down over the water.

"... Not this fucking thing again," Zoey said.

"Someone get this boat started!" Hagan shouted as he ran to the open door. Just in case it did something Hagan had a plan... not one that he liked, but it was enough to buy them some time.

"Shit, shit, shit!"

One of the kids fell off and Hagan thought he already fucked up the simplest instructions: watch the kids. All he had to do. That chick Fin or whoever the fuck her name was dangling over the edge and Hagan almost jumped to her rescue. However the other kid... he was one of them. He used his freaky abstraction or whatever to create a chain for them to grab onto. Thank God, because Hagan wasn't sure if he would have to use his abstraction to save her.

It wasn't over yet, Trent couldn't hold Fin himself - not with those arms! That meant it was time for Hagan to do something to save her. He lunged forward and grabbed the chain and used all of his strength to pull Finley to safety. He wasn't going to let anything bad happen again, not to anyone else.

In the middle of Penny's fall, she was stopped by a thick vine made out of wood. The sudden stop probably caused some damage but at least she didn't fall to her death. "I got you!" Odessa shouted as Penny was pulled up towards at and the other hand, which was still hanging, was pulling them away from the quickly rising tide. Still, the appendage that was pulling Penny was going much faster than the other one. Odessa pulled Penny to her and managed to wrap that vine around her midsection. The problem? Penny and Odessa were face to face and she probably noticed her lack of breath and cold body heat... and she wasn't blinking.

"... You are really pretty, y' know?" Odessa smirked. Was it legitimate, or was she just messing with Penny?

Once they made it to the top Odessa hoised them both up and noticed that one of the lifeboats had descended. She looked down and saw the lifeboat carefully descending to the water... they better hurry up or else they were going down with the boat. Odessa grabbed onto the railing of the boat and her hand turned into wood as it firmly wrapped itself around it. Before she did anything else...

... She offered Penny a hand.

---

---

---

Zoey was not one that was content with falling to her death... nor was she going to let it happen again.

Not this time.

While she was falling she had a really stupid idea to avoid falling into the water... well, she'd still be falling on water. Just in a... different state. A stream of diamond dust came out of her body and formed a platform that she believed was hard enough to land on. Then she hit it and everything was fucking spinning as she felt the sheer impact go through her body. Her ears were ringing like someone just screamed bloody murder through a megaphone.

"... Fuck me." Zoey hissed to Caelea. "You alright...?"

Zoey forgot Caelea's name as she pushed herself up... but she did it a bit too fast and almost fell off the platform. She managed for the slightly better outcome of falling back onto her ice construct which she knew wasn't going to last too long. Worst of all, she felt this coldness go through her body... which is usually what happens when she used her abstraction and hoped that Odessa could warm her up again.

If Odessa was still even alive.

Zoey sighed as she looked up and saw that the night sky was just right there... and the boat was going down fast. Zoey needed a way to get them both out of there, but... a little lightbulb went off in her head.

"Alright... squirt..." Zoey's head was still fucking killing her. "Got an idea, not a good fucking one but we're about to drown. Ice floats on water and we're going up... so how about we just physics do its fucking thing and figure out what to do next from there?."

"You didn't go to those other organizations. Let me be clear, Mr. Schmidt, we can't help you get supernatural abilities of your own. At least, I wont let my girls help you there," she began. "A few of them have lost who they were due to the nature of their abilities. I hope you understand, I do not intend to make a deal with a friend... Only to lose them to a profane genie in a bottle looking for a meat puppet. Any abilities you wish to procure of your own, you'll do so on your own time and of your own risk."

Kayla

Blake frowned.

"Come now..." Blake shrugged as he took a sip of his exquisite wine. This was not the answer he was looking for and he was quite disappointed she wasn't willing to play ball. That was the one thing that he wanted more than them as enforcers! Still, he knew a little firecracker like her was unlikely the budge... he could tell from the tone in her voice. Well, this meant that he would have to ask one of the other members when this one isn't present. Everyone has a price, after all. "... Very well."

"Enforcing and asset protection is another matter. One I'm more than willing to hear out. But I want a contract. Written agreement of what you want us to do, how far you want us to go, and what we'd be protecting, and how we're being compensated. To the letter, for each job. I'll also want an attorney. I don't mind getting my hands dirty for the right reasons, but if the law gets involved, I don't want my girls going to jail."

Kayla

"Contract? That's easy!" Blake answered with a smile. It'll take a bit of wording to explain his new security force but he's more than willing to provide all of this. "I'll get you everything you requested and more... set up first thing on Monday!"

"I'm sure you'll want some sort of demonstration, too, yeah? To know what you're paying for?"

Kayla

"Sure thing..." Blake said as he placed the wineglass back and leaned back in intrigue. "I'd also like an explanation about the world of supernatural... an in-depth one. We don't need a contract for that, right?"

---

So, you’re interested in the supernatural too? What made you interested in them? Was it him? Are you looking to get some yourself? That’s something I could definitely understand.

Maya

Phillis was honestly confused because this girl was talking with her specifically. Her eyes widened at her kindness, was it just a ploy to get at Blake? Or was there something else at play here? Still, Phillis couldn't force herself to be rude to the girl. Especially given that her husband was working with them and knew better than to interfere with his business, whatever it was. Phillis listened as she sighed in response.

"... I honestly had no clue the supernatural even existed before today," Phillis bluntly answered. "And I'm still not sure if it exists... my husband just insisted I come here today."

That was the first thing that came out of Phillis' mouth but she was interested in the world of the extra-normal. "I'm glad that you found friends that care about you... but you all are supposed to be witches? I expected hats, robes, and green skin... you all just look like a bunch of twenty-somethings."

Phillis raised an eyebrow when Blake requested a demonstration and then she asked Maya.

"... Is magic really real?"

---

Taylor blew hair out of the way of her face when Kayla gestured towards the one chick. She was smart enough to take a hint and she was quick to get up and step over. And once Taylor got close she understood what was meant. The chick was fucking wasted. Drunk off her ass and tits... which Taylor had to admit was pretty fuckin big. Except she just realized she was put on drunk-duty and hissed between her teeth as she looked back at Kayla. Still, the girl looked like she needed some help.

“C’mon, let’s get out of here and have some real fun. I’m buying.”

Vashti

In Madison's drunken stupor a lot of what Vashti said went over her head... much like what Herik said. Right now the world was fucking spinning and she was on top of it! Whatever that meant. Still, she didn't recognize this chick. "... Who the fuck are you?" Madison slurred as her head tilted and her jaw went slack, just for a second. "This sounds like some kinda..." Madison hiccuped. "... plan to take my organs. Well, ya' thot, you ain't gettin' none of this."

"Yes, she's trustworthy!" Claudette said as she used all of her strength to lift Madison. Eventually, Madison stopped resisting and allowed herself to be lifted by the slightly taller girl. On the other side, she was lifted by this red-haired girl that she never seen before but figured that she was a new member. Claudette was happy that somebody got off their ass to help her other than Herik. "She's one of us! She's..." Shit. Claudette didn't know her name.

"She wants to party!" Claudette was hoping that Vashti wasn't actually trying to get Madison drunker but she was playing along.

"Aight, aight, aight... aight..." Madison slurred as she looked up at Vashti. "But, I only party with hoodrats an' hoodrats only... you... look like the only partying ya' do is a bar mitzvah!"

Claudette rolled her eyes.

"Let's go."

... Maya started talking.

This was like Emily's worst nightmare. Of all the people that could start running their mouth it had to be fucking Maya. Emily would rather take that gorilla Jess spouting her idealistic nonsense, Izzy and her uncontrollable slutting, or Quinn... being Quinn, over fucking Maya. Emily had to act quickly or else Maya will ruin everything. Keeping that smile on her face, Emily channeled her inner secretary as she forced the chippiest tone.

"Maya."

"Maya."

"Maya."

And yet this pea-brain was still running her mouth, ignoring her as per usual. Does she have any concept of the pecking order? With her annoying ass on the bottom of it? Emily grit her teeth and Mr. Schmidt nearly caught it. That was the last thing Emily wanted... but she had to get Maya to shut up one way or another. The second the mention of "rumors" left Maya's mouth; Emily, with the barest amount of subtlety possible (I.E None), maneuvered over to Maya and jammed her elbow into the smaller girl's side as hard as she could. She smiled at her as she softly said,

"Maya... how about you let our leader do the talking?"

It took everything in her power not to end that sentence with "slut" or "whore" or some variation of the phrase. Emily shook her head as the girl finally shut up and she could feel momentary relief.

"... No, no, no," Blake said as he put his hand up, "Let her speak her mind."

"As I was saying, why should we trust you right away? And also, why is your wife involved?"

Maya

Emily grit her teeth. We've been over this, dumbass. She thought to herself.

Blake casually stroked his beard as he listened to the girl ask her questions. The mere mention of... rumors, made Phillis shoot him a death glare but Blake was undeterred! He was gonna leave with what he came for! And ensures that the Coven leaves with what they came for... Blake knew better than to alienate a potential business partner!

"As for the second question, my wife is as interested in these abilities as I am! And she's here to oversee the whole deal," Not entirely truthful but Blake didn't let an inch of his body flinch. The second question was a tough one but he was prepared to answer it. Blake touched his fingertips together as he leaned back in his chair and shrugged. "You are entirely correct in your suspicion Miss..."

"Maya," Emily was quick to answer for her.

"Maya, Maya, a cute name," Blake said as he began chuckling. "A wealthy man, coming out of nowhere with vague intentions and knowing about your little... witches club? Yes, I would be suspicious myself! But, if you don't trust me, what can I do to make you? All I want is one of those magical abilities that you all are so keen on flaunting. Nothing more, nothing less."

Blake made his intentions clear right off the bat as he took a sip of the red wine that he had sitting on the side.

"I'm willing to pay top dollar for one and if you all are willing, I'm willing to offer employment because I'm looking for enforcers to protect myself, my family, and my assets from the supernatural. How does that grab you? You all are free to turn away and leave if this isn't appealing and I'll pry elsewhere but think about it... do you know how many other supernatural organizations would jump at this chance? This opportunity!?"

Blake started laughing as Babylon cupped a yellow sigil in her hands and had a goofy smile on her face as she looked around.

---

---

When Herik approached Madison pretty much everything he said went through one ear and out the other except for "you should drink more, get the alcohol out of your system". When he finished talking Madison broke out laughing as she finally gave in and grabbed her boobs again... much to Claudette's displeasure. "Yeah, you're right, get me turnt up, Harry!" Madison briefly forgot Herik's name as she snatched the bottle from him... and in her drunken logic, she didn't stop to consider that the bottle of water most likely contained - you know - water. She took the cap off and nearly downed it, but she took one good sniff and realized something. "This shit's water! Fuckin' water! Get me some fuckin' Henny or get out of mah face!" She threw the thing across the bar and then it went over the edge.

Somebody yelled when it hit them in the face.

"It's like I'm babysitting..." Claudette muttered to herself in French as she placed a hand on her forehead. "Get her some more food or something. Anything."

"What? Claud? You jealous?" Madison suggestively, "I could weigh a thousand pounds and look betta' than everyone else here!"

"I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with her but..." Claudette said to Herik lowly. "... If she's not distant she's drunk. And if she's not drunk she's distant. There's no winning this!" She shook her head.

"Is...is everyone...okay?"

Finn

"Think my spine almost came out my asshole," Hagan stated, "But I think I'm fine."

His arm was stinging, so was his core, yet he was still able to push himself back to his feet. Okay, the kid - Trent he heard him get called - was in a rush to hop into the lifeboat. While Hagan had his reservations about how safe it'd be - whatever hit the boat was more than capable of crushing the lifeboat - they honestly ain't have too many other options as it stood... he figured that if cruise ship workers can figure out how to drive these things. So can they.

“Someone can learn to drive. Everyone get in that boat, right now. That includes you, Hagan. Get on.”

Caelea

"Sorry, squirt," Hagan softly said with a sigh as he rubbed his hands together. This was tough for Hagan to say but he merely wanted the best for everyone here. "... Someone's gotta pull that lever and I think it's best if it's me. I doubt someone's gonna fall from the sky that'll solve..."

... And that's what more or less what happened when some broad in a beanie walked up and announced that she could. Hagan raised an eyebrow at her.. if he was a bit more paranoid, he'd suspect that this was a bit too convenient. Except she didn't look like the malicious type... though with that grin he was starting to have his doubts. Still, he was going the chick the benefit of the doubt - just like he was going to give the same to Caelea.

“I’ll be back soon. All of you stay here and get ready to leave.”

Caelea

"Stay safe, squirt," Hagan said... Caelea was tough. Tough enough to survive whatever this ship had to offer, however, he had to survive this. And with his abstraction, he would have a better chance at defending the group from whatever came their way. He nonetheless got in but he kept his eyes on Isla... "I got my eyes on you."

It wasn't long before a shockwave hit the boat and they began... sliding?

"... Are we moving or is that just me?"

---

---

---

“...I’m sorry.”

Penny Lawson

"... If anyone's on the boat they would have come here by now," Odessa said, staying behind to stick with Penny. Her words were meant to be reassuring but her tone was a bit more snappy. That smile had turned flat and her expression was... cold. It was probably after the injury she sustained but who knows? Everyone else had left but something was keeping her here at Penny's side. It was ambiguous to Penny and most likely ambiguous to Odessa herself. "I can detect when Extra-Normals are nearby, after all."

There was something inside of Odessa that didn't fear her death or at least death in its present form. Which was why she wasn't really in the mood to hustle after Penny when she left. I'll find my way back Odessa thought to herself... before another shockwave hit the boat like a bomb went off. Odessa's stride was broken as she fell onto her face.

"... Are you okay, Penny?" Odessa asked as she forced herself back to her feet. She merely brushed herself off... as the whole boat began to tilt. That tingle in her head went off and alerted Odessa of the Extra-Normal occurrence.

The being that attacked the boat had rocked its way through the lower decks of the ship. With every crash, the thing sent shockwaves through the rest of the boat and then the boat broke itself in two... the two separate pieces began to collapse in on itself.

"Oh no," Odessa said as she began sliding downwards. Her hand turned a planty green color as three massive vines began to sprout from her hand. They stretched far enough to reach the end of the hallway and attached themselves to the doorway. So when Odessa could no stand on stable ground, she switched to hanging. She sighed out of relief...

---

---

---

Instead of standing on the deck like a moron, Zoey quickly turned around and ran back towards the deck. Maybe somebody else would have an idea of what to do. If not, Zoey was going to make a fucking iceberg and ride that shit back to shore. Anything would be better than staying on this boat with a potential murder monster. Zoey was about to haul ass back to Penny!

“Zoey! We’ve got a lifeboat set up on the other side… We gotta go.”

Caelea

... Speaking of ass. Zoey thought to herself as she came to a stop. Thank God that they had better luck than what she did...

"Damn right we gotta get out of here," Zoey said. "Let's g-"

That was when the second waves of impacts began to hit the boat from the bottom to the top. Then there was the hellish sound of wood and metal twisting and grinding... before the boat began collapsing inwards. Zoey screamed as she lost her footing and forgot about that cool ass abstraction of hers as she began to fall into the abyss.

"Supposed?"

Taylor had to ask... What did they do to piss off the government? She had to raise an eyebrow, but that did little to deter her interest. If they were doing some weirdo shit Taylor was out before they could implicate her. However, they - as in Kayla and Lyss - were asking her if she could fight and protect the Coven. And Taylor shrugged in response. Though she kinda forgot to tell them what she can do.

"I can create barriers made out of fire, sugar," Taylor said. "I didn't do a whole lot of testing with it but I made one big enough to cover a house."

Taylor sighed afterward it was hard forcing herself to say that she'll die for a bunch of strangers. There was a bit of hesitancy... part of her wondered what sort of shit were they getting into? Perhaps they were just one big elaborate cult.

"And I'm willing to-"

"Alright everyone get down!" A man stormed into the Dairy Queen... wearing an Obama mask and a black trench coat like he was a flasher. Taylor raised an eyebrow at the objects that were his instruments of "robbery". A fucking baby alligator in one hand and a God damn rattlesnake in the other. He walked over to the cash register as he pointed both of the animals at the confused cashier like they were guns. "EMPTY THE REGISTER, NOW!"

Only in Florida.

---

After all of that Emily contacted Mr. Schmidt and they arranged a meeting. It was in some nice little place in Southernmost Tampa, right on the beach. A rooftop bar that Schmidt owned that was currently closed but he had invited the Coven there. The Coven arrived via elevator... and Madison clawed her way out as several others were less than pleased with being stuck in an elevator.

And suddenly the stairs was a much better idea.

"... Aight, which one of you hoes grabbed my ass?" Madison slurred as she looked back at the Coven with her fist balled as the Jaw unconsciously activated. Yet not one person answered as Madison shook her head and she hissed as she rubbed her bruised ass.

Emily finished walking up the stairs with the briefcase in hand because like hell she was going to be in the elevator with those sluts. All of their lairs always smelled like a fish market - and no amount of air freshener would fix it. Getting in an elevator with them would probably make her wish she brought a clothespin. Emily shook her head as she looked at the Coven already beginning to bicker and she jabbed a thumb in the direction of Blake.

The Coven walked up as Emily caught sight of her boss... not wearing a suit. Instead, he was wearing some tan cargo shorts and a designer button-up polo shirt and some sandals, and sunglasses... like he was out on the beach. At his side was his wife, Phillis Schmidt wearing a green one-piece bikini and a large straw hat and sandals.

When Blake saw them, he smiled widely.

"Ahhhh, so you all must be the Coven I heard so much about," Blake said as he folded one leg over the other. "Glad you all decided to attend, come, come, take a seat. Get comfortable! We're going to be here for a while..."

He looked at his wife as he gave the Coven a grin.

"... If you all decide to play ball, but this is my beautiful wife Phillis."

"Hello," Phillis said.

"Hello, Ms, Schmidt," Emily said with an overly polite smile as she looked at the rest of the Coven. Personally, she didn't want half these sluts anywhere near him, but all she had to do was count on them keeping their stupid under wraps. For like one God damn second. It wasn't that hard. Emily knew that Blake was willing to toss the big bucks... if the Coven would play ball. She knew that Kayla wasn't stupid, far from it. She wasn't going to let Blake lowball the Coven and that was the pillars of Emily's plan. She nodded her head as she looked at Blake,

"This is Kayla, our leader, and Lyss, the... second in command." Emily introduced them. What was the sledgehammer to her plan was the rest of the Coven. Long as they played the part and politely shut up, then everything was gonna go great.

"... Gawd damn it," Madison slurred as Claudette took her to the part of the bar that was far away from Blake... she didn't want to bring her in the first place but Madison insisted on coming. Whatever drunken logic she's running off of was not the same type that Claudette was running off of. Especially now that they're doing this whole thing with Blake which Claudette still thinks is a bad idea but she would, again, rather stick with the Coven if possible. Strange attracts strange, as Babylon says. Still... Blake Schmidt was an eccentric one she heard (which was weird because she never heard of him before coming to Tampa). Claudette didn't want anything to do with a rich creep like him and the same with the Coven.

"He brought his hoe bag wife," Madison slurred to herself, loud enough for Claudette to hear, as she narrowed her eyes at Phillis and shot knives at her with merely a glare. "The fuck she got? I got ass an' titties... Maddie tryna bag a million-dollar sugar daddy! Maddie tryna leave the club behind- hahahahahahahahaha!" Madison devolved into complete rambling as Claudette started in horror and she was about to grab herself again but Claudette's steady hands stopped her.

In her drunken stupor, Madison lost all sense of subtlety but kept her single-minded goal of getting a sugar daddy. Because these hoes were stupid. Fuck all that deal shit, just get down and suck his dick. Everyone's trying to bag Blake as a sugar Daddy and Madison was no different. Who wouldn't? The idea of some rich asshole paying all of her bills? Fuck yeah. All she had to do was take a teeny peeny every now and then but that was not a problem. Even if it didn't go well they could give him the good ol' Harvey Weinstein treatment. Did that mean Madison had no respect for herself? No, but her bills are piling up and the money's drying up.

And she refuses to go out like a flash in the plan.

Taylor, on the other hand, decided to keep her distance from Blake... but remained in earshot just in case. Taylor blew some hair out of the way of her face as she watched. Honestly, she never bothered to keep up with the millionaires, celebrities, and politics of Florida... mostly because if it didn't affect her then she didn't care. She heard about Blake but that was some off mention stuff, like an occasional read in an article's comments section. Still, she knows better than to trust this guy blindly but she did enjoy the little allure of money being thrown her way. Not what she joined the Coven for but Blake knew how to get their attention, still part of Taylor was a bit wary of giving this rich asshole superpowers.

Because that sounded like the kind of thing that'd bite them in the ass later but she was a newbie.

Her opinion probably ain't mean shit.
