    Simone Sangoma

    After some going back and forth down the street, Simone finally stopped in front of the rather impressive looking house, the one that stated the location of the pool party. Was she nervous? Definitely, but not due to meeting new folk. Absolutely not. She met new people on a nightly basis at the hospital and the danger that went hand in hand in the ER.

    It was daytime. Simone couldn't help but feel exposed during the day.

    Which is why she was wearing a classic Raiders cap. Try to keep the damned sunlight off her head for as long as possible. Her matted, mud-crusted braids hung from the back of the hat and she was wearing a simple pair of black jeans and a white linen blouse, the sleeves most certainly rolled down today. Still, the dry, cracked skin on her face and hands was plain to see. Still, if this was a gathering of the Freehold, it was where the Darkling needed to be, nerves be damned.

    Spotting a way around to the rear of the property, Simone carefully walked around, her open-toed sandals flapping on the pathway, giving away her approach. The amount of gathered changelings didn't shock her, but the amount of those who drew her attention was immediately apparent.

    Moon-mother, bless me!

    Simone stood, awkwardly, obviously not used to parties, or changelings with such notable features, getting a sense of those in attendance.

    Mask:

    An alluring young beauty, Sonnie Wu is 5'2" and lean-bodied, with a light, nimble step and eyes that seem to say "Hey, you know what would be fun?" Her reddish-brown hair often seems slightly unkempt, and an amused smile regularly plays on her lips. Sonnie is usually dressed casually or for outdoor activity. She almost always wears a pair of red leather tabi boots.
    Mien:

    To the eyes of Fae, Sonnie's feet are like those of a monkey: Toes as long as fingers, with one on each foot being opposable like a thumb. A long monkey tail protrudes from the base of Sonnie's spine, covered in hair the same shade as her head. It appears to be prehensile, and often moves to react to her mood and dances about when she speaks, like people who "talk with their hands." Finally, her brown eyes turn golden.
    Mundane Equipment:

    Smart phone, messenger bag, quarterstaff, 2 throwing knifes (concealed), 3 goblin fruit (changes by season), mountain bike.

    The bikini-clad monkey girl grinned at Circe, "In my stom... ah, you're on to me!"

    To Seraphina, she nodded and laughed, "Well, if you find a banana pool float, I will have to think up a good prize for completing the challenge!"

    John's announcement that the burgers were done naturally caught her attention. "Already? That was so fast!" Her tail perked up as she started to turn towards the grill... then she stopped and gazed in wonder at the arrival of Mr. Moon and his fascinating movement patterns. Sonnie couldn't help but stare at the new Autumn, utterly mesmerized. She was quiet, and did nothing but watch, her expression rapt.

    The only thing that broke her out of her trance was the appearance of yet another stranger, Simone. Sonnie blinked her golden-colored eyes and looked towards Sera curiously, "Do... do we have enough potato salad for all these people?" Just her comical way of addressing the arrival of all these unknown faeries at the Nix's personal home. Was she okay with this?

Fawkes does have the same hair as his Mask escaping from cracks in his scalp. It is actually magnetized red sand; any facial hair (eyebrows, beard, eyelashes) have to be artificially applied by hand.

    The Elemental is a little slower this time detaching from the group, whipping out his phone as his fingers fly in a frenzied speed.

    You have three strangers here. I'm sending John to take down the ad.


    Three new ones at Sera's party. I need some help, please. Not probs yet.


    SB. I need you to get rid of an ad. Now. Please.


    "King Price," Fawkes called, voice not as steady as usual. A hairline crack forms along the edge of his mouth as it sets in a frown, with a series of quiet grinding snips as his brow pinches, "Glad you can make it. Orion's just with King Rhodes and a new Autumn. Everyone's been real nice." Once the distance is cut, how lowers his voice. "Ogre has a baton. Been running. Moon isn't vetted, yet."

    At the other stone-expression arrival, he takes another drag to compose himself as he cracks shoulder in a roll. "Corporal Fawkes," he says to Simone Sangoma as he extends an articulated hand and a nod in the direction of the group, "Do you mind joining us over here a second, m'am?"

    The words obviously directed towards her, Simone looks over towards the Elemental gesturing with his hand. Her cap lowers an inch in recognition before moving towards this Corporal Fawkes.

    To be honest, he didn't plan to attend this party. Not because he scoffed at gatherings in general (he didn't), or because he held any ill will towards the hostess (he didn't), but because he was busy like he hadn't been since... well, since a long time.

    But then he got the text from Fawkes. Thing sounded urgent, and with the Torrent 'urgent' could quickly turn to 'pieces of lethal glass everywhere'. Besides, the Spring did express interest in providing some measure of protection against potential threats. Time to own up to these words.

    On my way


    He shoots back. The urgency meant he didn't even have time to think on a proper attire - so a green t-shirt with black shorts and a pair of sandals must suffice. There's a sports bag on his arm, hiding swim trunks, a towel... and a sword at the bottom. Not that he planned to use it, but he'd rather wash away the blood from Sera's backyard than be overpowered by three enigmas.

    When the Flowering arrives, he barely has time to greet the pair of hosts - Rhodes and Seraphina - with a nod. Two more are given to Sasha and Richard Price - they are, after all, Monarchs. Other than that, however, he makes his way to the side, where Fawkes and three other, new faces reside.

    Abraham joins the party and immediately moves here

    His skin appears to take on a deep gray color with distinct parallel lines crossing his body, in what almost looks like scars but is much darker then his normal skin but as the same vertical lines connect the horizontal the brickwork pattern becomes clear. His elbows, knees, and hips seem to crack and creak as he moves and if he stretches one can swear they see the outlines of gears but they seem to be missing on second glance. His midsection bears a jagged and broken looking scar that looks as though it threatened to tear him in half, looking as thought stone had almost been chipped away.

    Rich moves to the side gathering.

    Merit-Striking Looks (exotic)
    Mein:

    Her skin turns a slate-blue and her hair bone white. The whites of her eyes are blood red, the irises are purple with cat-slit black pupils. The helix of her ears elongate out 2" inches ending in a tip. Her features sharpen and her figure has an unnatural, inhuman litheness that can be intellectually disturbing.

    Her skin brings to mind Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or Asian races, though her high cheek bones and sharp facial structure don't match. Most assume she is of mixed ancestry given the pale blonde hair. Alias Mary Maniscalo.

    "Thanks Johnny! She cries in response to John Doe's call for food. Then Seraphina returns to finally reveal her quest's goal to the Summer Fairest. A blue hand gives a quick little salute, "Capito capitano" and she struts away to quickly deposit the dessert with the rest.

    When she returns she is sans her sun dress, revealing a leafy bikini that could be mistaken for Hedge craft in its quality. But it looked exactly like that to mortal eyes too. Circe figured it'd be funny to pretend after she saw it for sale online. Circe does grab a burger quickly. "Great job Johnny, Sera. But sadly I think I'll hafta do the security thing over there," she points to the gaggle of Summers and other people. "Unless I'm told ta buzz off by Richie or Rhodes. Hopefully I'll be back soon!"

    With that she joins the little gathering of angry people.

    John received the text from Fawkes then Circe offered an opportunity for him to graciously move over to the situation. "Thanks sweetheart," he said without thinking. He then rushed over to the Summers.

    Sasha

    She had smiled, nodded and greeted those who said hello. This wasn't her show, it was the Springs and Sera's.

    It was definitely a Spring party. Everyone was flitting about hither and yon. It was really adorable to see everyone having fun and whatnot. She kept a watchful eye on the people gathered over in one area. Sasha didn't like to be removed entirely from the situation, but, it would be interesting to see how some would do with things like this.

    So the Dancer took off her cover-up and went to the edge of the pool to start getting her feet and legs wet. Her suit didn't move out of place in the slightest, and hopefully it wouldn't in the water. Her violet eyes watched the two new people, Orion , Mr. Moon , and Simone Sangoma giving them a pleasant look if they were to look back.

    The new arrivals were being tended to, which was good. Probably nothing to worry about, then. She was concerned about Sera's home being invaded by strangers, but there was nothing she could do about that, right now. The monkey wanted to help more, though. Surely there was something she could do besides stand around looking fabulous in her bikini?

    Wait, John had left the grilling station. No one was cooking the burgers! This couldn't be allowed to happen! What kind of pool party didn't have a steady supply of barbequed meats flowing into hungry bellies? Not this kind, that's what!

    The Beast bounced over to the grill, pulled out an apron and donned it (safety first, kids!), turned the heat back on, and picked up not one, not two, but three spatulas! One in each hand and the third gripped by her prehensile tail!

    "Never fear, I'm on top of things!" she announced with an excited smile as she started flipping patties.

    Considering how her 'pizza' at the Spring Coronation had turned out, maybe there was a little cause to fear. But she couldn't possibly mess up burgers, right? They were so simple!
