Vampire with a Soul

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.

Okay... I really need to start plotting out my ideas for the Dinner with Maloker plot.

I really see three different installments for this storyline. But need other players to get involved and voice their opinions, desires for their characters.

Installment One: Niverian/Anastasa -- When Niverian sends his message to Hades that he will become the new Guardian of Limbo (upon his death), he will receive word that Lindsay is facing a harsher penalty than before. (Behind the scenes, it will be Persephone who commanded the new punishment, her way of getting revenge to Niverian's demands on her). This will push Niverian further to helping find a way to release Lindsay from Tartarus. By this point, his parents would have found Eve in Limbo, but the problem is to find Darla, and Maloker himself.

Installment Two: The only one who can reach Maloker is April, who will be primarily involved in the second installment, along with Clark definitely. During this interaction, April will discover that her voices are a gift from Maloker himself, almost an extension of himself. And she will also discover some shocking truths about her mothers' past, as a human.

Installment Three: I aim to have as many players involved that so desire in the final installment, where Lorne must face the Trio, and deal with the Sphere of Music. Since this is the swan-song for Lorne, I would definitely want Victor involved.

Please comment on anything you want to provide, or want to see for your characters.

No one noticed the young blonde in the corner of the Caritas. She was a regular. She came for a few drinks, sat alone, but never left alone. She never created any trouble. And she always tipped her waitress. She was in the bar today, watching and waiting, when April Kent and her two children had entered to visit with Lorne and Spike.

The presence of the two children spiked some sort of interest, and the young blonde watched the group for sometime. Spike was the first to excuse himself from the table, having to deal with a phone call. Then Lorne was called away, having to deal with two men causing trouble.

The young woman came to the table and sat down. And chatted with April for a long time. After a few minutes of the conversation, Lorne saw April and the children leaving with the woman out of the corner of his eye. He really didn't think about the situation too much, figuring that April was helping a person in need.

But when she didn't return after an hour, he started to worry. After two hours, he picked up the phone and called Clark.

((posting order: April/NPCs; Clark; Ed/Cipher Nine))

It was a quiet day, and April was getting a quick nap while Jonathan was down for his daily nap. A hand rested on her pregnant belly, showing a little now that she was in her second month.

The nausea seemed to be the worst thing for her, and so she was resting just to feel back to 'normal' before going out for grocery shopping.

The sound of her PINpoint ringing brought her out of her mid-morning slumber. "Hello?" She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.

"April, it is Shasta here, have you seen Spike?" The worried voice of the woman on the other end of the line made April awaken even further.

"No. Was he supposed to be here today?" Her father hadn't mentioned he would be visiting.

"Well no... but he just... left. It was really weird. Wes hasn't seen him either. And I am just... worried."

April reached out with her voices, frowning with the sense of chaos and frustration when she tried to contact her father. "Okay Shasta. Don't worry. We will find him."

After hanging up the phone, April reached out to her husband, to see if he was at the Daily Planet, or busy responding to a situation as Superman.

April gently touched her head, placing a cloth to the wound on her head. Someone had knocked her out. And wherever she was... it was dark. And she could hear chanting.

Her clothes were gone, and she was now wearing a simple white gown. Which meant her PINpoint was gone too. She had no idea where it was.

There was also a ward that negated her magical defenses, and that wasn't an option.

It had seemed such a good decision to come to her home universe... when she had to leave the Smallville universe because of the strange appearance of a twisted and psychopathic Clark Luthor in her bed. She had called for help from Victor Allen, and Victor told her to escape. And this was supposed to be her escape.

But when she appeared, she was taken aback by the disastrous sights and smells of LA. And she had gone looking for someone she knew, but instead was taken by surprise by a person who came up behind her and had knocked her out. And now... she whimpered... she was in trouble.

Typically... this was just typically...

She didn't know why she was here, but April had to wait and learn what she could. And hopefully she could find a way to get home soon.
