*Quick Note: Color codes for location headers will denote time of day basically. Not so much tie of day but look for matching ones to see if you are in the same ~time frame~ as others.

MSS Private Jet: Natasha gathered her things and followed Caesar off the plane. She had no idea where to go or what to do at this point other than follow the scary Mexican and take care of her patient. Glancing over at Cecily she forced a bit of a nervous smile as if to say ~well here we go~. "If you feel off in the slightest, let me know immediately," she said to Cecily before continuing behind Caesar. The change in altitude because of the flight and pressure changes because of the plane she knew could cause blood clots and she wasn't about to loose Cecily.

Stopping her tracks as the Federale came over her brow perked as he spoke. She shot Cecily a bit of an odd look before looking back at the man. She knew what he said but she wondered the meaning behind it, either way it didn't seem like he was there on an official job, that his presence was just out of curiosity. The pilot came out and stepped over to Caesar for a moment, "Sir, we will be moving her now," he said in a sympathetic voice before making his way over to the side of the plane and the door of the hearse opening.

Justice Airport: Airport traffic is about as one would expect - it sucks. Mostly caused by the line of cars having to pay for their parking as they leave and most people fumbling around in their cars for money or credit cards to charge it to. Idiots never had that shit ready and waiting even though they ahead already been sitting in line waiting for ten minutes. God forbid they get the money ready while they waited. What made matters worse was the fact that since it was Monday morning most people were not coming back into Seattle and needed to pick up their cars, they were leaving - so there was only one tollbooth to take care of the line.

Zoie's Farm: Zoie pulled out a chair and sat down. "She isn't suspicious of me yet but if I stop taking clients she will become so. That's why we wanted you to provide me with a cover as it were, to pose as a client, so she didn't get suspicious," Zoie explained.

Marc looked at the two siblings. "Yeah but Mali has a point, how would she have access to that stuff?"

That was when Relic chimed in. "Well other than the fact she works for Juno, so she has more access than others. Valentine did have a case. Not here in Justice mind you but Supreme Court Justices can access most any file for cases through out the country," he started. "She gave a child up for adoption. There are records, closed mind you, but they are there and her access is our best best to get a hold of those without raising red flags."

Justice Asylum: There was no nurse at the nurses station when Iris came over but after a minute one finally walked over. Taking a seat she simply gave the doctor a nod of her head as she set down the paper work she had been carrying and started typing on the computer. It looked like she was entering one of the doctors notes into the computer file. She would stop every so often as she pulled the file closer to her, trying to make out the chicken scratch. "Why do all doctors write like a toddler," she pondered to herself out loud.

Gun Range: "Hey! I do!" Roy said quickly. "Reminds me of childhood, in a cardboard castle sort of way," he added with a laugh. Stepping into a private room he closed the door behind them. There were two stalls with a small partition between them, safety gear for eyes and ears bagged. At the end was a wall with many holes in it. On the ceiling was a mechanism that looked like you could clip a target to it and have it wheeled to the end of the room, which was a good 100 feet back.

Setting the bag down on a bench he unzipped it. "Let's start small," he said as he started to go through his guns. "Get the safety glasses on and the sound canceller's ready. This room echoes like a bitch, don't want you deaf when we leave." Pulling out a Kahr PM45, he grinned and waited for Riley to grabbed the safety gear for herself. He had a few things to go over before they really began. Safety first though.

Justice Memorial: The room remained silent save for the static coming from the snow on the TV. Every so often a shadow would pass by the door but it seemed to be nothing more than people walking passed, none of the shadows remained long enough to make it seem like anyone was listening at the door or wanting to enter. Must just have been nurses making their rounds since things in Felix's room looked calm from all accounts. He wasn't flat lining but his pain meds were starting to wear off. As far as him speaking into the air, there was no response and as the moments ticked by it seemed that if anyone did hear him they were responding.

Precinct 54: "Go ahead and have a seat," the Captain said as he flipped open her file. "I was hoping to introduce you to your new partner, but seems he has gone MIA," he said with a tone in his voice that indicated that this wasn't the first time her new partner had vanished. "When we do find him, you will be partnered with Detective Roy Gregory. Pain in my ass cop but he gets the job done. Smart ass, doesn't like partners, so brace yourself. He is walking cliche of good cop with problems," he said as he handed over a file to Priya.

"He currently only has one active file going. His previous cases are closed. Case file 5461-LX-115, a Lance Clemins and David Lawson. The case was closed, they killed each other in a shoot out but for some damn reason our local Supreme Court Justice Lyo. Well she approved it, FBI reopened the case for whatever fucking reason but they aren't sharing shit with us. Might as well start there and see what you can dig up."

@FantasyChic @Pundii @Morose @Sigil @ONL @rivaan @Nallore -

Okay, don't think really anyone but Sigil made any edits for relations over the weekend and I didn't get any other pm's over it so calling this closed - no more edits allowed after this point.

Nallore, figuring you fell asleep or forgot about the post last night, so nudge reminder on day 6.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

@Poi Sounds like you have gone through the usual - please stop this route. Looks like you might just have to be a hardass about it sadly - Message me more than once a day about posting and I won't post again, end of story. It's sad but sometimes you just have to be ~That person~ if they won't listen. If they were truly a friend or a good partner they would have already respected what you have asked, since they are not - you should not feel bad at all if you have to walk away.

Roleplay Retention -- Keeping it alive

@HeySeuss Saw the post before the edit - I wasn't trying to shut down a conversation by having people refer to a guide. I was simply placing it out there so I didn't have to repost the entire section of the guide since I am going to be ~running back and forth from the computer~ for the next several hours and wouldn't be able to sit down and type up a more full response for discussion is all.

History

Family History: Clan Kirkpatrick, named for the church of Saint Patrick in Closeburn, had held the lands those very lands since the 9th century. The family name itself didn't appear on record though until 12th century when Ivone De Kirkpatrick witnessed a charter of the Clan Bruce; the lands themselves were confirmed to the Kirkpatricks by Alexander II of Scotland, the castle there being built built sometime before that. The Kirkpatricks were alongside Robert the Bruce when he killed John Comyn (otherwise known as Cumming) during the Wars of Scottish Independence. For their service during the wars they were granted the lands of Redburgh from the Campbells, and Caerlaverock Castle and Dalswinton Castle from the English. They were later granted Baronies of Closeburn and Redburg from the Duke of Albany in 1409. They continued to gain lands and castles for some time through the 17th century.

Yet time takes it toll on all clans, especially when title ceases to mean anything in the Lowlands. Eventually the Kirkpatrick's lost most of their money - William Kirkpatrick leaving for the new world and eventually marrying a dutch woman in Spain. His sister, Sally Ann, however stayed behind even though she kept in contact with her expatriate brother. The castle in Closeburn was sold in 1783 and the remaining Kirkpatricks of noble birth were forced out. Where as they now had money, they no longer had their holdings.

Your personal life: Miss Sally was born in her families castle, the youngest of three and only daughter. She grew up well enough but times were tough. Though while they held title and lands they were poor. Sally had wished to train in Rome, joining the Church and their crusade but funding prohibited it. Thus while there was some sense of standing, it was not in the eyes of the Crown Of England. Refusing to live untrained she traveled to Ireland and made her way there during her training. During this time she had to resort to less than noble methods to survive. Petty theft, forging documents, and distilling spirits became the backbone of her survival tactics, only second to her quick wit and an ability to intimidate people enough to get what she wanted.

When she returned home to Scotland, things changed. Her home and birth place was sold. This nearly stripped them of their holdings and power but it gave the family an unprecedented amount of capital in which to live off of for generations to come. This did not sit well with most any of the Kirkpatricks. Her brother William expatriated to the United Stated, her other brother James died from shame. While James had children to carry on the mantle of the name, they did not have the savvy or the shrewd nature to regain any power for the family. Sally on the other hand did and being the Matriarch now of the family she took the mantle and ran with it. Marriage was out of the question for herself, she had too much work to do and wasn't about to wait on a husbands permission to do anything.

Money was no object now, she would do what needed to be done to restore not only her families birth right but that of many Lowland Clans. Working behind the scenes to not only arrange powerful marriages for her nieces and nephews in Scotland, combining houses, but outside of the country as well. This lead to some very advantageous pairings, including marriage of nieces to highly titled men in Spain and the Netherlands. She also funded many an allied houses children for real training against the Soulless.

Over the years she has regained much of her families holdings, helped them take a dramatic rise in power not only in Scotland but in the eyes of the Crown of England. (Whom she detests.) Currently she is residing in Kirkpatrick Manor playing her cards and working on re-acquiring her birth place, while keeping a tight hold on what her family does. For her, life is simple - Clan, Country, God. Everything else is just simply a problem that needs to be solved, so she will solve it and move on to the next.

What you want for your life: Forget the Soulless, having children, or marrying again. There is but one thing that consumes Lady Kirkpatrick and that is re-establishing her clans power in Scotland. The highlanders have power, the lowlanders should as well. Ever since her families castle was sold she has spent every waking moment working towards this goal and while she has gained some power in her own right and for her family outside of Scotland in the eyes of the English Court she still has work to do. Hopefully the younger generation don't fuck it up.

❦ William Kirkpatrick ❦
"Turncoat but his children have promise."

Sally has never truly forgiven her brother William for abandoning their family to start over in the New World but he is family and so she shall never turn her back on him. She has financed him in the past but since the arranged marriages of her nieces was so successful, they now pay her. Some would call it tribute, others would say it is a debt being repaid.

❦ James Kirkpatrick ❦
"Poor bastard, leaving me with these hooligans"

Sally and James were as thick as thieves when they were young but when she returned from Ireland that fell apart. Him selling the castle, her home, nearly ruined the family even if it gave them an ungodly sum of money. She didn't realize how badly it affected him until he died some time later from shame. She has taken his children and their children under her wing. She is the matriarch now and family comes first.

❦ Thomas Kirkpatrick ❦
"Did the Kirkpatrick wit die with his father?"

A blithering idiot in Sallys mind and the worst representation of a Kirkpatrick in history but he is family and all they have currently in a seat of true power in the eyes of the Crown of England. Thankfully Sally knows how to pull his strings. She is the puppet master and he is too empty between the ears to know what is what.

"Gangling little thing"

Charles is still a wee lad and in that awkward stage. Sally does what she can to ensure that he is well taken care of, educated and trained. She is shipping him off to Japan soon enough to begin his studies against the Soulless. She will miss having him underfoot.

❦ Mary Hale ❦
"Perhaps she is what I would have been if things had been different."

While not true birth family, Sally looks at Mary as a niece. The Hales and the Kirkpatricks are neighboring Clans along the border of England, their interactions with each other going back centuries. And while they are not allies, they have never feuded. When word came to Scotland of a Hale arriving at the doors of the Vatican, Sally sought out the child. On seeing her she saw a reflection of herself in a time long forgotten. At this point Sally took on the financial responsibility of Mary, funding her training and anything else she might need that the church could not provide. While the two have only seen each other a handful of times since their first meeting they do correspond regularly. At this point, Mary is family and a Kirkpatrick by honor if not by birth.
