    (Cloying metallic scent, pressure)
    Fawkes
    Mien Details:

    An expressionless humanoid with a sectioned doll-like exoskeleton of sand-blasted glass. He has glass eyes that move and blink, and his mouth moves enough to speak naturally without a speech impediment, but does not emote. 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.
    Active Pledges:

    Mentorship - Seraphina (Exp. Summer Coronation)

    Renewal Required:

    Good Neighbours - John Doe (Exp. 04/07)
    Good Neighbours - Maxwell J. Pierce (Exp. 03/26)

    Fawkes jumped as his phone went off, brow crinkling with annoyance before tucking it back in his pocket. His face coloured as his eyes flicked to the group before he ran his hand through his hair. "Hah. I came in to make up for vanishing. I need to head out, though."

    He's clearly a bit embarassed as he makes his apologies and says his goodbyes, finding some humour for the situation.

    Fawkes exits the Shard. Thanks for the Scene!

    Rhodes
    Mein

    Mein: Rhodes has pale whitish skin, elfin ears and deep, overly large emerald eyes. Thin black veins broach the surface of his skin like the roots of a tree emerging from the ground. Dark, broad leaves sprout from his wrists, ankles and temples, spreading around the back of his head. Deep red flowers bloom at the temples and wrists.

    Mantle: A breath of icy wind, the kind that penetrates and sends a chill down the spine. Ash leaves in red, yellow and gold spin into existance around him, caught on the breeze. As the wind blows, unnerving whispers can be heard, always coming from a direction just out of one's field of vision.

    An eyebrow arches. "When it comes to you, darling, I try not to assume too much any more - though I hoped you wouldn't deceive me so. I thought it was just a ploy not to have to pay for dinner later," he ribs gently. "But I think you'll find those bills were adding weight to my five, thirty-twenty."

    Reel it in, Sonnie. You're scaring the kids. He chuckles to himself.

    Now Mable was talking about chains with a hungry look in her eye. "Chains? Why am I feeling decidedly less safe with you all of a sudden?" the Flowering asks the Ranger, smirking. "If you want the practice, it sounds like you could use the help from someone, and with people offering...." He shrugs, smiling. Hints didn't come much bigger.

    Rhodes looks to Sonnie as she mentions her superpower. "More like Harley, I think Sonnie. We could put you in one of those lovely outfits." A Jester's one.

    Then Fawkes..... vanishes. Odd. "I guess some jobs take all of your time," he says after the Glass man leaves. "What does he do, anyway?" the Fairest asks Sera. She knew him better than he did. Rhodes casts an eye over Mable, expecting a little disappointment. The Elemental was just as obtuse to social clues as others of his kith, it would seem.

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Cherry blossoms gilded in gold bloom from her hair, tumbling down as a warm rejuvenating spring breeze gently kisses the air with the scent of freshly cut grass.

    Smirking to Mable, “Does that mean you’re hesitant about apples?” she asks with a giggle. “Well, you were the one who said you were so single it hurt.” A shrug, “So we decided to help.” See what happens when you share things?

    An eyebrow raises as she shakes her head.

    “Really?” she says looking at the added money. While it was for charity, someone else should get the chance, “Don’t you want to go back up there?” she had no more money to add.

    “Get to second and try to steal third.”
    She added.

    Nodding, “Oh yeah! I’ve seen some online. Bright pinks and greens, really striking against the black. And you could totally pull it off.” She encourages.

    Frowning, “Oh, ok. Was great seeing you!” she waves as he leaves.

    The look was matched, “Oh, of course not! I do have more money in my purse.” She replies with a wink. “I’d never assume someone else was paying for dinner.” It wasn’t her way.

    Snickering, “Well, Mable, if it’s chains you seek, I hear there is a different type of club in town that could cater to that need.” How she knew? People talking of course.

    At the question, she thinks, “I’m not completely sure, I don’t think he’s ever told me.” She probably never asked to be honest. “Maybe something military. Our training is very structured. So I’d guess that.”

    Mable rolls her eyes at everyone. Steal a base huh. As Fawkes leaves she walks up to him and hands him her forest ranger business card. "Call me if you ever need anything."

    She returns to the group grinning, "Ok, no chains. The colorful goths are called Bubble goths and that would be perfect for you, Sonnie. If we go goth I might do that too. And yes, apples are scary bad. " Mable laughed.

    "Oh and many should feel less safe with me," She smiled a wolfish smile at Rhodes. "You however are safe cause you belong to Sera."

    "And no more sports ball things please." She puts her hands up.

    "I'll join in again if you would like."
    She nods to Sera. "I may even try to dance again."

    Our training? That was curious. Mable looked at Sera wondering.

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.

    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.

    Fawkes' sudden departure took her by surprise. He'd just arrived a couple minutes ago, after all. Still, Sonnie waved as the Elemental left. "Busy dude, I guess. Oh, maybe he's like an ex-marine or something?"

    With a shrug, she looked back to the others and smiled at Rhodes, "Harley? Oh, right, from the cartoon? Hm, maybe. She sounds like Circe when she talks."

    Her eyes turned to Mable, "Bubble goths? That sounds hella cute! So, is that what we're doing, or do we just wanna go to a 'normal' nightclub?" She looked between Sera and Mable as she made air quotes when she said normal.

    She clapped her hands, "More Sera singing! Gooooo!"

    Rhodes chuckles as he looks back at Sera. "It was expensive enough getting me up there the first time. I'd rather not do it again. And besides, you sing so much better than I do. You've proved that already. We just want to hear it again."

    He chuckles. "I know you don't assume, it only adds to your charm. Plus it gives me the opportunity to be a gentleman, offer to pay, and know it means something."

    The comment about chains gives the Dread Lord pause as he turns and stares at Sera, wide-eyed. "And how would you know about that, sweetheart?"

    Mable's playing is all fun - it's odd how predatory the adorable little woman is for just a moment. But then she says something that sours his mood. Rhodes' cheeriness vanishes and his posture tenses, hackles raised. Hazed memories try clawing their way to the surface and only the reassuring hold on Sera's hand helps him breath and force them back down.. I am not property. I belong to no-one, I who has broken chains of servitude almost as long as you have lived.... Foolish mortal knows not where she speaks.

    "Well. I suppose I should count myself... lucky," Rhodes replies stiltedly with a smile that doesn't reach the eyes any more.

    Sonnie simply seemed back to herself. Though it seemed like no more money to get Sera to sing was forthcoming.

    Laughing, “Seriously? Bubble goths?” she would never have guessed that. Not in a million years. “Noted, I’ll keep the apples far away!”

    An eyebrow was raised as her blood ran cold. Belonged to her. No one belonged to her. Certainly not another Lost.

    Laughing it off, “Oh I wouldn’t say that. I claim ownership over none.” She says with a wink to Mable. “Except this coffee house, oh, and my house. But that’s it.” Her tone upbeat.

    Seeing the look from Mable, she laughs again, “He’s been helping me with my fight training. Improving my stance, kicks and punches. It’s been really useful, he’s a good teacher.” She adds. With one hell of a punch.

    Shrugging to Sonnie, “Maybe. He’s never actually said. But he does seem to be busy, which is always good.” He was a good guy, she enjoyed his company.

    “There you go! We were talking about costumes, you could totally pull of Harley! Two cute little ponytails?! You’d have guys falling all over themselves!” an eager nod.

    “We can do either. Goth takes a bit more prep work, but it’s no impossible. We could always do one one night, and then maybe later, do the other one.”
    She offers.

    That performance was a good one, she had to admit to herself. But what if she gets up there and fails?

    “I’ve just simply always believed a girl should have money on her and offer to pay half.” Just how she was. She never expected anything.

    A twinkle in her eyes, “Me? Oh, simply overheard it being talked about.” Maybe there was more to it? Maybe, but she wasn’t saying.

    She gave his hand a light squeeze as her other hand rests on his forearm. Leaning over, she plants a soft kiss on his cheek.

    “Seems I’m in demand this night to sing!” and moves to the stage. She finds a music type she didn’t usually sing and attempts it. But she can almost immediately tell she was failing. The notes weren’t right, her back ached from the failure, memories threatening to surge to the surface.

    She was making a fool out of herself. But she sings the whole song.

    Returning to the group, she avoids eye contact, and busies herself with making coffee. Offering some to those around her.

    Oh Goodness. Kine were as bad as kindred, seems she said the wrong thing again. "I didn't mean it like that, Sera. I meant that I would never even look at a person my friend likes."

    "Either type of place works for me. Just getting out is good."


    Sera goes up and sings. It was great to Mable's ears but Sera seems off somehow. So Mable waits to hear how others react.

    Sonnie, of course, was fully aware of how sensitive her kind could be to phrases like "own" and "property," even if used innocently. She knew Mable meant nothing by it, but her eyes still flicked towards Rhodes when she noticed his agitation. He must have been really upset because the man was usually quite hard to read. She was glad Sera had to ability to calm him down so quickly. The last thing Sonnie wanted was for the King of the Court of Fear to snap at the poor woman.

    She cleared her throat, "Yeah, so night clubbin' we shall go! I'll bring my friend Emily. Sera, Mabs, if you two wanna bring a friend along, please do! The more the crazier!"

    Then the Nix went to the stage once more, and the Beast excitedly watched the performance. It was good, of course. Not the tour de force of the previous song, but there was definitely nothing wrong with it to Sonnie's ears. Certainly miles better than the monkey's own attempt at rapping. She cheered and applauded, always supportive of her friend.

    "I have never heard that song before, but bravo! And more coffee, please and thank you!"

    "Oh, I know you do, darling. Sera was so surprised when I insisted to pay for our first meal. You'd have thought she'd never been taken out before," Rhodes says to the other girls.

    Overheard, huh? We'll be talking about that later... But for now, in public? He lets it slide off, forgotten.

    Seraphina's reassuring touch and the kiss help a little. Knowing it is her, knowing that these aren't empty gestures to gain her favour...

    Seraphina has never met her. It can't be.


    He swallows drily. "It... doesn't matter Mable," he says, still a little tersely. "It's not deliberate. Just... forget it." The Fairest manages a reassuring smile. Whatever it was, the moment seems to pass.

    As his girlfriend sings, Rhodes uses that time to focus. It was a new song, but she still made it sound great. Better than his, and certainly better than Sonnie's attempt at rapping. As the Nix wandered offstage, he cheered loudly again, watching as she slid back behind the counter. A physical shield. An obvious social move - She wasn't satisfied.

    At least Sonnie could be counted on for support. "It did sound great, didn't It?" He agrees. "No more for me, thank you darling. I'm sure there will be time for more at dinner later." He looks to the ladies. "You'd both be welcome to join us, as long as you can use a fork the right was around! I'm sure you don't mind, do you Sera?" He asks the golden Treasured. A little play with a Beast was also fun. He grins.
