@Old AmsterdamMission accomplished then I was going for goofy/adorkable/cute

I was kinda thinking of getting the two families together for a dinner, but It's not essential and plus... I'm wondering if it's too early... So maybe I'll wait

@RegitnuiWe should find Alex a girl though... Someone to tame her *evil laughter*

@Mae@Melo Okay... I've reshuffled some of the skills a bit.

Dragon knowledge: Shas'ti has received extensive schooling and information from her friend Ninlil, one of the Four Great Ones. The serpent dragons that descended from the higher planes to live in mortal coil. Ninlil is Shas'ti' prime source of information when it comes to magical beings and especially the ones with more malicious intent.
In place of Lore.

Animal taming: Shas'ti has been taught the craft of taming the beasts of the world to serve her during her hunts of the more dangerous magical creatures.

Endurance: During her long years of training and working along her father as a hunter, Shas'ti has developed a very strong endurance to be able to go toe to toe with the more dangerous magical game out there.
In place of the old Dragon knowledge.

Addition to her bio that would go below this paragraph:

"Not long after a tale spread among the populace..."

"When Shas'ti was twenty years old she had a dramatic encounter with a magical being she had never yet seen or even knew existed outside of the odd whisper here and there. She came to know the serpent dragon Ninlil. The dragon turned out to be a benevolent one and expressed her desire to befriend Shas'ti. The young woman was so stunned she could do little but accept. During the course of their friendship she learned of how the serpent dragons came to be in the mortal world, of the Four Great Ones, of which Ninlil herself was a part. The female dragon also shared a vast amount of information about the more vile of magical creatures upon learning of Shas'ti's craft."

I will expand on their friendship in Shas'ti's Relation Sheet

Regan breathed a sigh of relief after the crisis with the snapper was resolved without apparent casualties save for the poor man who’d lost his life thanks to Blacklight. She looked about for Teagan and was alarmed to realize she couldn't find her in the immediate vicinity. She felt panic beginning to take over her faculties when she spotted the wayward firefighter with a fire brigade hosing down trees and park benches that had caught fire during the ordeal. This new sigh of relief she released was of titanic proportions in comparison to the previous one.

Although she wanted to sprint to Teagan and hug her senseless, she made a conscious effort to walk slowly towards the fire engine. It was a rare opportunity to observe the ex-firefighter in her original element so to speak. The sight was a glorious one. Teagan was helping a fireman with the word 'Candidate' emblazoned on his uniform to hold the hose that sprayed water in the direction of the burning trees. She could see Teagan's subtle course corrections that served to instruct the rookie of the best way to put out the fire. She looked hot in her jeans, tight t-shirt and soot marring her features.

When the fire was finally out Regan saw her friend lean into the fireman's personal space to say something in his ear. Then she lifted her head and as if by magic she turned to lock her gaze on the PART officer. The joy that her look telegraphed upon seeing Regan stole her breath away.

Teagan jogged to Regan and was about to hug her, but managed to restrain herself, remembering she reeked of smoke and was covered in soot. But before she managed to say something Regan stepped closer and enveloped her in a warm embrace. The firefighter stilled and almost melted within the cocoon of Regan's strong arms. She hugged her back with all her might.

"I got so scared when I couldn't find you after the Epics took care of the turtle." Regan mumbled in Teagan's shoulder, not willing to let her go yet. She inhaled deeply not minding the chocking smell of smoke that permeated Teagan's clothes and skin. She allowed a small cathartic shiver to run the length of her body and then she drew away a fraction. Just so she could look the other woman in the eyes.

Teagan opened her mouth to assure Regan she was okay, but gentle fingers prevented her, followed closely by soft lips.

The kiss was short and sweet. But it was a promise for so much more and ignited a fire within Teagan's chest, but also instilled in her a sort of calmness. She smiled with Regan's lips still on hers. She heard a few catcalls from the firemen and withdrew reluctantly from Regan. She grinned goofily. "I got soot all over yer pretty face." She said with an easy smile.

Regan's heart was hammering in her chest. Oh, my God! I kissed her! And she kissed back! She was on cloud nine. "Good." The PART officer answered with a matching grin. "We're a set then."

"That we most assuredly are, aye." Teagan agreed, lifted one of Regan's hands and kissed the knuckles. She was rewarded by a soft blush and a shy smile. "Let's get out of here?" She suggested. "Clean up... maybe grab dinner, catch a movie."

Regan entwined her fingers with Teagan's soot covered ones. "Lead the way!"

Attention all! Sap comming yer way

The Sunday Group

@jasonwolf@PennyOr Omega watches that shoot out grappling wires

Also... I did my best to sound like a proper professional FBI shrink Man, I loved that show, Profiler, back in the day

The Sunday Group

Malone paused the media player on her phone and removed her headphones when Ellie entered the office followed by a harrowed woman. The client. Malone thought. Ellie looked somewhat flush, but that wasn't all that strange for someone with her complexion.

They all filed one by one in the meeting room and sat around the table. Short introductions followed and Ellie began her presentation. The client, Madaline Holt, who looked to be in her thirties, had apparently contacted Ellie to do a follow-up autopsy on her sister after COD was determined to be suicide by gunshot. The woman seemed adamant her sister wouldn't kill herself.

Malone knew suicide was hard to comprehend for the relatives. Even when faced with indisputable evidence to the fact. But since they were all here it meant Madaline was right about her sister and the poor girl probably didn't take her own life or if she'd done so, she wasn't in her right mind or in control of her actions.

Malone stared at the misshapen face of the young woman with grimness. She could feel the rage begin to boil within her. It was a familiar occurrence after her last case with the Bureau, but she'd learned to temper that in the year or so that followed and especially after she'd joined the Group and started feeling better equipped to hunt the monsters. She allowed the rage to build in intensity, but wouldn't let it spill out of control. Instead she transformed it in a form of edgy determination that etched across her features whenever she was working.

Young Cassandra was robbed of her life and she would offer whatever she knew to make the responsible parties pay.

"The entry wound is unusual." She crossed gazes with Ellies. Her eyes seem brighter than usual. Malone thought. "With suicides by gunshot, people usually go for the temple, the chin or the mouth. It would be difficult, but not impossible, to shoot yourself in the eye. Plus she would have to be at least left-handed to do it in the right eye." The ex-FBI profiler mused. She spoke quietly, politely in deference to the rage boiling within her.

"Miss Holt, you said your sister was doing fine after her breakup with her boyfriend and was planning a life for herself in Portland. That alone with the unusual shooting method should have raised flags for the investigators. You also said your sister didn't demonstrate any suicidal tendencies and her behavior seemed to change only after she met with this new group of people."

Malone directed her attention to Ellie once again. "We should try to find out everything about those people. Although Manny is right, we should look into the boyfriend as well. Even though he was out of the picture well before that we'll need to rule him out." Malone paused looking at their client. This couldn't be easy for her and the woman was doing a valiant job of listening to this discussion about her recently departed sister. Malone's jaw clenched and unclenched, her eyes flashing in anger for a nanosecond. She made a conscious effort to temper it and continued.

"It is too early to do a proper determination of Cassandra's state of mind prior to her death, but I would be inclined to think she did not shoot herself even under duress or under someone or something else's influence. There is the positive GSR test though. Someone could have held her hand and the gun and pulled the trigger. If that was the case the GSR pattern on her hand should be unusual."

Malone fell silent. She still wasn't well versed in all things paranormal, but Ellie had proven foul play with the autopsy and they had venues to explore. As of right now, they still had precious little to go on and they would have to hunt for more clues.

@WriteBlaine is just a regular game hunter though, she wouldn't know how to hunt magical animals.

The Nomad, a sci-fi epic.

@Fury PandaYes, that would be nice
