Conversations of the Criminally deranged

Kash: I don't really care what you think. We used to have this place pretty much to ourselves. Now look at it. Filled to over flowing. Its depressing.

Dare: I agree with Kash. It used to be just us...sure there was an odd visitor every now and then, but no permanent residents. Just us. Those were the good ole days.

Chelane: Oh come off it. I think its cool I got rather sick and tired of your whining years ago Dare. You really should get out there and meet some new people.

Dare: I don't want to meet new people I was perfectly happy hanging out with you guys. Hell half these guys aren't even hers.

Kash: That isn't strictly true. We orignals out number the borrowed ones by far. Borrowed there's only Jason, Jean-Claude, Richard, Nathaniel, Damain and Edward oh yeah plus Cillian and Jared.

Dare: Isn't that enough?

Kash(rolling her eyes): Think about it for just a sec...on the other hand there are Gavin, Seri, Nixie, Reagan, Bregon, Zarah, Adrian, Qamra, Celeste, Luce, and Chrys. We so out number them. I mean us original characters.

Chelane(nodding): And We out number Them anyways. Plus we have our own dimension. They have to stay cooped up in here.

Dare(grinning slyly): There is that.

Kash(still rolling her eyes): Yeah there is that.

(Kash and Chelane exchange a look that says very clearly "Men")

Kash: Well it may be more crowded but some of the company is pretty good. Edward for instance...what he knows about guns could fill a library...or two.

Dare(growling): I don't like him.

Kash(raising one eyebrow): Really? I'd think you two would have lots in common...similar background...same affinity for disappearing into the night when it suits you. Plus there's the whole death image.

Chelane(snickering): Yeah lots in common.

(The girls exchange another look saying "Can you say Jealous?" and smile)

(Dare just sulks silently as they watch the others, some of who are bickering, one or two are reading, and one couple is making out with the utmost diligence.)

Chelane(breaking their silence): I could do without that Bregon witch though. Sure she's a dragon, but what has that got to do with anything here? Oh and her royal highness just hates to share a brain.

Kash(nodding): Yeah...her little sis is pretty cool though...well when she comes up for air. She and Jason don't seem to need much oxygen though. I think they must have the world record.

(Chelane and Dare laugh)

Dare(frowning): Heads up we have incoming. I think I'll catch you guys later. Sonya said something about dusting...I think I'll go help.

(Dare gets up and moves away, Chelane stands too.)

Chelane(smiling sympathetically): Sorry but Rafe said he had a surprise planned tonight... (grinning)...I love his surprise.

(Chelane and Dare exit, leaving to Kash to glare after them)

Nixie(smiling with good cheer): You shouldn't be sitting over here all alone. Why don't you come play scrabble with me Adrian, Gavin and Luce?

Kash(heaving a sigh): Sorry I can't tonight. I have to go polish my crossbow. You know how it is, if you don't keep your weapons in good condition they fall apart at the worst moment possible.

(Nixie's smile falters a tad as she nods and watches Kash wander off)

Seri: Ahh she made good her escape...I wasn't sure there for a moment if she'd manage it...what was it this time...don't tell me she had to 'wash her hair'?

Nixie(Not understanding): No she had to polish her crossbow. (frowning in confusion) I didn't know you polished crossbows.

Edward(nodding sagely): Oh yes you should always keep your crossbows well polished I think I'll go make sure she's doing it well.

(Edward hurries from the room. Seri fights back laughter)

Nixie(starring dreamily after Edward): Isn't that nice of him? Going to help her polish her crossbow, he is so sweet. (grinning happily she goes back to the table for scrabble)

Qamra(to Seri): She's a rather strange girl isn't she?

(Seri nods still stiffling laughter)

Seri: I think that the same could be said for all of us, in both mind and body. We have two dragons, two were wolves, a were leopard, two gryphons, a nightingale, a selkie and a demon. We are a rather motely group and that isn't even counting Kash and her little group. Its all very strange. Oh and I almost forgot the vampires. There are six vampires, a wizard and the demi god. I think we've got all the bases covered.

Qamra(one eyebrow creeping up her forehead): I suppose so. Reagan will be dead soon, and so will Bregon if I get half a chance.

Seri(shaking her head): You aren't supposed to give away what's going to happen...we do have an audience.

Qamra(with disgusted look): It is none of my affair if our creator wishes to make our discussions public knowledge, there will be consequences...it is for her to be concerned about, not me. Now if you'll excuse me I actually have weapons that need polishing (mumbled as she leaves) Crossbow indeed.

Cillian(in a very superior tone): Why is it that you all continue to forget my presence here.

Seri(in an equally unimpressed tone): Perhaps its because you spend more time in the library drinking brandy and bemoaning your "wretched fate", then talking to anyone or trying to make any sort of friends. Jared at least is polite.

Cillian(looking offended): Then polite has very little to recommend it.

Seri(giving her best disgusted look): I don't really care why you don't like Jared...or any of the rest of us for that matter...but if you feel left out its your own damn fault, so go pout to some one cares. (grinning wickedly) Maybe you should go cry on Nixie's shoulder, your just her type.

(Cillian shudders visibly as Seri walks away leaving him alone once again)

To be continued...at some later date.
