i'm trying.  I'm struggling with a nasty bit of writers block right now.  Hopefully soon I can get things going in my head again.  Consider Lillia still active though and I will try and post for her asap.

It may take me a bit to post for them but I am hoping to keep Tristan and Jonah active.

I'm still here with Shale and Elisabeta when school will permit, which isn't much right now.  I will have Daniel's bio fixed soon so I will have a cop to play as well.

Excellent.

I'm looking for suggestions as to how to increase the activity of this thread.  I'm open to just about any ideas, since my major plot line is taking a very long time to unfold.  Currently, all vampires are requested to report to Archangel (by phone, not in person) because something serious has occurred and  Nigel is trying to warn everyone....

September 1st- 3:00 am - Archangel Industries - Nigel Salvatore

It had been just over a quarter of an hour since the message went out for all the vampires to check in but not all of them had called.  Nigel wasn't worried.  It hadn't been so long ago that a message like this would have taken a day just to circulate through the city and an equal time for all parties to respond.  He'd begin getting annoyed at the hour mark but it wasn't likely that he would start to worry until much closer to dawn.  Dawn was a critical time.  Anyone not safe by dawn was likely going to be dead, one way or another.

September 1st - 3:15am - Sailor Morgan

Sailor returned home from a night of bumping and grinding to bedazzle the marks and showing her ward the bright lights of La Cirque. She felt weary, which was most odd for a being that hadn't felt anything except vibrant since the day her heart had stopped beating. It had only been a full two nights that she had been responsible for another unlife, but her nerves jangled and body ached from the implications and consequences if she screwed up this little task. She was more built for a life of excess, her burlesque persona and the cloaked by shadow avenger of her former life, were far more comfortable skins for the bombshell than the over glorified nanny that she was currently preforming as.

She was grateful her ward had slowly begun to lay his defenses to one side, if there was one thing she couldn't deal with was the hard done by vampire. They had managed to find him a suitable apartment with thanks to the Master of the city, Sailor couldn't deny that she was nothing short of ecstatic that the odd vampire had declined her offer of a room in her house.

The old house was silent, save for Clarence's occasional snuffling snort. There was no sound coming from Tyler and she wondered for a moment what kind of trouble he was causing at that very moment, the thought bringing an impish gleam to her smile. The cherry red of an awaiting message flashed impatiently on the base of the cordless phone. Sailor sighed and was just about to completely ignore when the voice of responsibility droned on incessantly. She snagged the hunk of plastic from the cradle and played her messages back, of which there were four in total: one from La Cirque confirming her costumes had been delivered, one from her least favourite fang junkie begging for an other meeting, one from the video store informer here of the free rental that she was now eligible for and then the final one made her straighten her posture and thank whatever forces of nature there was that she had actually listened to her inner sensibility. Her thumb quickly tapped in the number of Archangel Industries and she waited with a hand on her hip as the monotonous ring tone yawned in her ear.

September 1st- 316 am - Archangel Industries

"Thank you for calling Archangel Industries,"  a far too perky voice called out in greeting.  Chantal had been a vampire for a dozen years but some how hadn't had the sunshine driven out of her yet.  She was one of the night managers.  For her to be answering the phone meant that anyone who understood how the buttons worked had been pressed into service handling calls.

September 1st - 3:17am - Sailor Morgan

No matter how many times Sailor had called Archangel Industries, Chantal's perpetually demeanor  never ceased to give her a chuckling kick. Her own vibrantly sunshiny tone purred directly into the receiver, "Hello Sweetheart. It's Sailor Morgan here. I just got a rather heated message from his nibs requesting  my immediate attention. So here I am calling in as soon as I heard the word, just like the good little pet that I am. Whats the dealio, doll?"

September 1st- 316 am - Archangel Industries - Chantal

"Best guess?  Head count,"  Chantal replied.  "He's put out the call to have everybody call in."  There was a slight hint of a tone in her voice that no mortal could have detected.  Even with the keen hearing of a vampire, Sailor wasn't entirely sure she had heard it.

If she had, Chantal was lying.

"Is there anyone there with you Hon?  They'll need to call in on their own but there isn't any problem with double verification."

September 1st - 3:19am - Sailor Morgan

The odd taint in Chantal's voice hadn't quite gone unnoticed, but with only fifty years of being a vampire, Sailor couldn't quite put a well manicured finger on what was so off with the receptionists reply, "There ain't nobody here but us chickens, dollface. I left Tristan at the front door of Archangel like the good sponsor that I am, so I suspect he should be calling his notice lickity split too."

She allowed a brief pause to offer the receptionist time to speak, but the opportunity wasn't taken, "Chantal, sugar. If anything were wrong or there was anything I was to know. . .you would make sure you were on the level with me, wouldn't you? You know, one girl to another kinda thing, because I wouldn't want this perfectly adoreable little rapport we have going on between us to be sullied, if anything should come to light."

"If there was anything I could tell you, I would,"  Chantal answered.  "We haven't got a number for Tristan, by the way.  He's a word of mouth contact.  With luck he's checked in with one of the security guards but at least we have a ball park for where he is.  Give us a ring if you hear from him just in case, okay?"

September 1st - 3:19am - Sailor Morgan

Sailor was hear the words coming from Chantal's mouth, but believing them was becoming harder by the second. All of her time working with Archangel, they never called just to say "Hi" or to do a simple roll call of their little pets. As the night manager chattered away in her perky tomes, Sailor made all the appropriate noises at the appropriate moments. There was slight pause in the conversation and the burlesque dancer realised it was her time to speak, "Oh you got it, Chantal. If Tristan calls I will no doubt call in and let you know all is hunky dory. Say, I don't suppose the Head Honcho is available to talk to right now, is he? Since I'm on the phone, I had a few question regarding my sponsorship and Tristan I needed clarification on and you know the whole killing two birds with one stone scenario?"

September 1st- 3:19 am - Archangel Industries - Chantal

"I can't swear to it that Mr Salvatore is available but I can put you in touch with somebody else who can answer your questions,"  Chantal answered.  "Mr Crosby recently returned to the office so you can speak with him.  It's not the man is the second chair but he's close enough to him to pass him a pen if he needs one.  Do you want me to put you through?"

Waylon Crosby was known to be one of the city's lesser master vampires, one that had firmly attached his fortunes to those of Nigel Salvatore.  He'd been Nigel's right hand for a number of decades and, although rumours were never confirmed, there were whispers that his feeding habits weren't exactly traditional.

"If I can't speak to the boss, the boss' right hand will surely do just dandy. Well technically I guess Mr Salvatore is the boss' right hand so that would make Mr Crosby the right hand of the right hand", the sparkling vampire chuckled with an unmistakably girlish ring, "Thank you Chantal, you have been your ever dollike self. We really must catch up sometime in the flesh, sweetie."

"Give me just a second and I'll connect you,"  Chantal said.  "See you later, Sailor."

The phone rang twice and the soft, almost musical tone of Waylon's voice came across the line.  "Good morning, Miss Morgan.  How can I help you?"

September 1st, 3:33 a.m.  - -  Club Sanguina  - -  Elisabeta

Elisabeta got the message to call into Archangle Industries while on the dance floor.  She had left Wilhelm to his own devices with the reminder to be in the hotel suite at least a half hour before sunrise.  Excusing herself from her dance partner, Elisabeta moved to the back of the club where it was a little quieter and made the call into Archangle Industries.

September 1st, 1:01 a.m.  - -  The Bar  - -  Shale

Shale pulled a rather ratty twenty out of her pocket and handed it to Ryan.  "Here love.  Make sure she has plenty of stuff to keep her going.  And see if they have any lemon drops would you?  I'm in the mood for something sweet and sour."  Shale's brilliant smile radiated into her eyes.  "And make sure you bring back plenty of quarters for the jukebox.  Five songs is not going to be enough for these two."

September 1st, 10:57 a.m.  - -  Seattle Police Department  - -  Daniel

Daniel pulled into the parking lot of the police department just before 11:00 a.m.  He found an empty parking spot, at least 500 yards from the building, and maneuvered the pickup into it.  Turning off the engine, he sat there for a good 30 seconds before taking a deep breath and turning to the blond on the passenger side.  "OK Lucky, we're here."  Daniel opened the drivers side door and got out, "Come on girl.  I don't know how long I'm going to be so you had better not stay here."  Lucky bounded across and seat and out the open door.  She looked up at Daniel and wagged her tail.  "Woof," was all she said.  Daniel laughed at her antics.  "Come on girl.  Lets get this over with."  He snapped a leash on Lucky's collar and led the way across the parking lot and into the lobby of the police station.  He stopped before the long counter and waited for someone to notice him.

September 1st, 1:02 a.m. - Seattle Art Museum - Schreck

High above the cityscape Lee sat with his feet dangling sixteen floors up. Getting past the security wasn't hard to do, he was just passing through the art exhibits after all, no harm in that. A couple of green backs and a bribed janitor could get you any where really. Getting past the WaMu security for twelve floors was a bit more of a challenge. But with budding powers that made people shit their pants when they got to close to you Lee didn't have too much trouble. After all, if you're a security guard walking around in the dark around cubicles that cast strange shadows off the light from your flash light, you're not going to go examine the black little corner that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand on end like a million little hair erections. Besides that nobody really locked twelve floors worth of doors when they closed shop for the night, hell on some floors there had to be a couple of poor unfortunates who had to burn the midnight oil to get paperwork done for little lord Fauntleroy. There was always some shmuck who played the putz for some asshole or another. And come to think of it, being a big bank company like it was, there had to be many people working around the clock. Maybe Lee was more lucky than he knew about not being caught. Or maybe he was caught but whoever saw him didn't think there was anything strange about a average Joe white guy with short blond hair in a white button up shirt with cornflower blue tie (picked of course for irony) and black slacks moving about the building. Even if he was skulking about, maybe they just didn't care.

So there he sat, his ass planted firmly on the cold cement of the top of the steel tower, with freezing winds wiping his tie around in his face. He withdrew something small and black from inside his pocket. It looked like a tiny black twenty two Deringer. But his slate grey eyes were still fixated on the view of the city. The big picture. He wondered briefly if vampires survived the fall of buildings only to die when they hit the waiting pavement, but then he remembered once you hit terminal velocity it didn't matter how far you fell it was still do the same damage. Sometimes he questioned science. A very human sigh escaped his cold lips and he slid the cold steel back into his pocket. He wondered if anyone would come for him, or if he'd make it down and out without any hassle. Either way it was worth it for the view.

September 1st- 3:23 am - Sailor's House - Sailor

"A very good morning to you too, Mister Crosby. How are you finding yourself on this rather chilly and dreary Seattle morning?"

Sailor curled a long strand of golden sunlight around her forefinger as she spoke, "I just had the sweetest little chat with Miss Chantal and I got the distinct impression that perhaps our little bundle of moonshine there wasn't exactly telling me the full story as to why our fearless leader put out the call for all us night folk to report in for the morning. Now I don't suppose that you would be the sort of man who likes to insult a lady's intelligence, so if there is a problem or somethingI should know, I would be just over the moon if you could be straight with me."

September 1st- 3:23 am - Archangel Industries - Waylon Crosby

"I find myself in excellent health, Miss Morgan,"  Waylon replied, his voice holding an amused tone.  "Now, I'm sure you will understand that, while I am unable to be straight with you, I can be honest with you.  To paraphrase Thomas Dolby, some of our vampires are missing.  We're trying to determine exactly how many and where they happen to be at the moment."
