Little girls, little boys and little dragons?

2016-02-25T22:30:44Z

April still had her mind on Zara and the possibility of introducing a hatchling (or more) to their little family. She knew that since helping train Zara herself, April had wanted a dragon of her own. It would be a little easier now, since the children were old enough for responsibilities.

But of course, it was important to talk to Clark first.

And so she waited for him to come home, taking the time to work on an art project as she did.

A new friend welcomed to the Caritas ((tag Rhys))

2016-01-11T21:23:10Z

April walks through the newly opened PINpoint portal into the Caritas, leading Rhys through it. Even though they had just met, April's voices were already guiding her into supporting this decision. That positive benefits would be discovered for Rhys.

And perhaps, the Initiative members would learn a lot from him.

The Caritas was not as lively as it had been, when Lorne was alive and running the joint. In several ways, it was like the building itself was still mourning the loss of Lorne.

But as the new managers, the Initiative put their hearts and souls into keeping it as an Open Door sanctuary for any demon or human who might need it. They all had taken different jobs around the bar too. So it was Rhys' chance to get to meet many of them in person.

Hulk was one of the bouncers. He could be seen standing in one of the corners', his glowing green eyes a constant reminder to those who might consider starting an incident.

87 was the bartender today. She was chatting up a rather large demon, who took up several bar stools, as he drank away his woes for the day.

Mouse was playing the DJ for the afternoon, with her cybernetics hooked into the karaoke machine to give any singer their chance on stage. She had some great songs playing now in the background.

"Welcome to the Caritas." April smiled at Rhys. "Where not everything is black and white."

Creative wrapping ((open thread))

2015-12-14T22:00:20Z

December is an exciting time for the Kentlings. The three children are basically into everything these days. Especially now that the two older ones can play with William a lot more.

So April has decided not to worry too much about wrapping gifts early. Really... it is better to wait, especially with curious minds and energetic hands, an active puppy, and a big family.

Right now, a lot of their energy is put into Christmas baking. Making gingerbread houses is the task for today. Jonathan is trying to build a miniature Kent farm. Laura is making a princess house. And William is just smashing gingerbread squares happily.

It is an ideal family time.

in the darkness the baby comes

2015-09-13T23:02:05Z

It is after midnight when April awakens suddenly in her bed. Her eyes glow red, as she surveys around the quiet bedroom. It is quiet outside ... the sound of crickets, the occasional howl of a coyote, the sorrowful call of the cows in the barn.

But none of those sounds grab her attention as the one right beside her ... the beating sound of Clark's heart as he sleeps.

She turns slightly to watch him sleep for a moment. April can feel her vampiric side taking control. The dark desires of her thirst swirling in her mind. Her attention directed to the pulsing vein at Clark's jugular. A hunger inside her that she has never felt before.

"Clark..." She manages to whisper his name. "Wake up..."

Stuck in bed ((open post))

2015-08-22T21:23:28Z

April did not like being confined to her bed -- even though she knew it was for the best. Every time she got frustrated -- she just reminded herself that this was for the health and welfare of her unborn child.

It wasn't like she could get bored. She had tons of books handy. She had her sketch pad nearby -- so she could still work on fashions. She had access to a computer, which allowed her to keep in contact with the art studio and ensure the business was still profitable.

It wasn't like she was alone either. There was always someone around -- helping with the other two children and normal house-hold duties. Clark spent as much time as he could around the house. Martha was a common visitor. Spike practically moved into the barn -- so he could be available at any time of the day. Shasta was always there too, especially after learning that April would benefit more from drinking vampire blood right now.

And it wasn't like she never saw her children. Jonathan, who seemed wise for a four-year-old, quickly understood that mommy wasn't available for normal nighttime routines. So he changed the routine -- bringing books and Laura into mommy's room for their bedtime story. Every now and then he would rest his head on April's stomach, and talk to the baby. Laura would occasionally mimic her brother. It was those little moments that meant the world to April.

But... there were still times when the things April had around her were just not enough. It was difficult not to get emotional. Not to feel useless. And just to feel alone.

Luckily, she had friends to remind her of how untrue that statement was.

((This is an open post. Anyone and everyone welcome. I will respond to every post as a different visitor))

Time Jump -- six months later

2015-08-18T02:38:35Z

Her third pregnancy had been different than the first -- but April couldn't really place a reason why. The morning sickness lasted longer. She felt tired more often.

And the cravings for blood were more frequent -- and more demanding on her.

Even now that she was six months pregnant, she was still getting sick occasionally. And she felt it harder and harder to feel motivated for most normal things.

And today -- she can't get out of bed. Literally, it is like her insides hurt.

"Clark..." He was going to get the two other kids ready for the morning. But even though he is down the hall with Jonathan and Laura, she knows that he will hear her.

Unexpected news can be the best

2015-08-17T16:27:27Z

April felt a little tired after she came home from her shopping experience. Mostly, it was the fact that she had gotten sick that made her so tired.

But at the same time, the realization of why she had gotten sick had made her feel a little energized all at the same time.

Jonathan, who was four now, and Laura, who was two, were both happy to see their mother. Especially since she detailed a plan for them to make cookies for their father -- when he came home from work.

Of course, baking with two toddlers was an interesting experience. The toddlers were going to be covered by flour. And Jonathan is liking the spoon too.

But the cookies are just going in the oven when Clark gets home.

Apples on Teacher's Desk

2015-08-10T16:39:48Z

Now with Orbital Watchtower in place, up and running for the Justice League of America -- the former ground location is now used for other things. It is a haven for super-powered people who need a place to find themselves. It doesn't matter if their powers were inherited, or developed because of meteorite powers, or other incidents -- everyone is welcome.

There is also classroom space for those who want to learn to control their powers, located a couple floors up. It is one of these classrooms that Dark Oak is currently teaching meditation to those who need a calm mind to control their abilities.

There is nice peaceful music playing in the background. And no interruptions...

Until, there is a bang at the door, and sounds of voices in the hallway. It seems that someone has taken advantage of the 'open door policy' to try and bring some havoc to the peaceful situation.

Dark Oak gestures to her group of people to stay calm, and close to the floor. She stands up and approaches the door to find out exactly what is going on (of course with a telepathic shield around her). There is a small group of armed masked men roaming the halls now... and their yells are upsetting and confusing those that came here trying to escape such scenarios.

The song comes to an end ((open thread))

2015-04-18T02:16:28Z

For the general public, tonight the Caritas is closed.

For those who have a special invitation however -- there is a party to attend. And the bar is decked out with every single decoration in the world. There are helium balloons floating up by the roof, in all sorts of colors. And we mean all the colors. There are plaid balloons up there!

There are dozens of candles decorating each table. And these candles fire off little tiny explosions of fireworks every half hour.

There is a bubble machine and a fog machine by the dance floor, so people can mix it up and have fun. There is every kind of beverage (even the 'rich red' for vampires) at the bar.

And right now Lorne is on the stage, belting out a song to "Memory".

((here is the deal -- this is a mixed interaction thread. NPCs will interact with everyone who posts, but I encourage others to interact as well. There will be a point when a major plot point will occur, and hopefully I can bring everyone into a posting order))

An acorn grows into a mighty oak ((tag Clark))

2015-03-07T22:47:15Z

In the past few weeks, Clark and April have been helping to mentor the Dryad spirit in her mental mindscape. They took the opportunity whenever they had free time -- which didn't come very often in their busy lives. But step by step, moment by moment, the Dryad was learning more about the world.

And with each visit, April felt a little piece of herself heal and get stronger.

The Voices were still not quite completely back, and there were times when they would have been a great assistance to the situation at hand -- but they took each day at a time. They handled each emergency the best way they could, using the strengths and abilities of other members of the JLA team.

Usually, Clark and April found time right before bed to take a moment in the mental mindscape. It seemed to suit their schedules. The children were asleep. And the their day was done. The only thing that would come up -- was the occasional need for Superman.

Tonight was one of those nights when they had no emergencies to handle. April was sitting on the bed, brushing out her hair quietly to herself. She felt they were closer to resolving the issue -- so she could have those abilities back in her life. In truth, she missed them.

The quiet can be disconcerting ((tag Clark))

2015-02-17T02:05:52Z

It has been a few hours since Clark took April home. In that time, she fed. She bathed. And she tried to lie down for a little bit.

But she can not close her eyes for long. She can not go into a deep slumber. The quiet in her mind is like a blank canvas. Plus, it just gives her more time to go over and over again everything that she experienced.

Slowly, she is remembering the others using her fears against her. The claustrophobia. The flames and the heat of the fire. The fear of losing her children.

"Clark?" He was checking on the children for her, when she got cleaned up.
But April knows that she doesn't have to call out loudly to get his attention.

Dinner with Maloker ((group thread))

2015-01-07T20:51:21Z

Some may consider that all the 'Big Guns' that April has called together is overkill … but not really, not when it comes to the fact that many great minds are needed to find a way to prevent The Three (Discord, Disharmony and Cacophony) from their evil plans.

And the Big Guns are needed... when they have no idea where to start looking for The Three.

When other Keys (such as Dawn Summers) are being drained of their existence.

When the clock is still ticking on Lorne... and his battle with his disease.

Invitations were extended to Clark Kent/Superman; Harry Dresden; Sheriff Bigby Wolf; Edward Elric; Cipher Nine; and of course Spike, Angel, Buffy, Willow and Wes.

April is waiting in the planning room, for each person to arrive, going through some books as she does. For many... this will be a familiar encounter, as they had to come to fight together before. But there will be some new faces. And new ideas.

((forgot a posting order. Since multiple characters, Kat/Ael/ me))
