Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake did not have a problem with the six Mutant haters who wanted revenge on him for busting their faces aplenty in the park a few weeks ago. The seventh guy who dropped on him from behind gave him problems. The man was a slab of meat and knew his stuff, probably played football, knew wrestling. A guy bigger than you gets his hands on you is always trouble. He took some work to put down until one of his pals hit him in the head with a beer bottle.

As Thomas eases into the tub, bruises very apparent, he opens one of several beer bottles then turns on his sound system. Dionne Warwick begins singing, 'What the world needs now, is love sweet lo-o-ove..." Ah. Life is again good. He closes his eyes.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
There were signs upon entering that someone had gotten their ass kicked pretty well. The smudge of dirt, the abandoned boots leading to the bathroom, and the fact that the demons were bickering over who got to lick the empty beer bottles. Gabby pauses at the door considering it a moment before giving a knock. She doesn't come IN though. No that'd be weird. "You okay, Thomas?" A glance is cast to the abandoned boots. "Looks like you had a rough day. And Baal or whatever it's name is keeps laughing his ass off saying 'look what the cat dragged in' so I figure it's not a *good* sign."

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake yells from the yard. "I'm in the tub out back. Grab a suit and join me. Or whatever. He makes clicking noises."

Rasputin /doesl come out of the bathroom, giving Gabby a puzzled look. He follows Thomas' yell outside, not having a suit. Imps flee.

Thomas wonders offhand where the rage moppet got to. It's pretty quiet.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney stiffens when Rasputin comes out of the bathroom only to step to the side. "Okay, so the heavy breathing I heard in the bathroom was NOT you," she calls out only to fall in step beside the tiger. And lightly, if it's allowed, she puts her hand on his back while walking. "Yeah, yeah hang on. I could use a soak too. I had to do another 'prove how good you are' test."

Michael Hannigan has posed:
There's something about timing. Sometimes Mike has a great sense of it. Other times not. And with the folder in hand as he hears Thomas's raised voice, it's still up in the air what type this is. After being let in by one of the imps, Mike ends up making his way towards the back. Emerging on the other side of the home, he turns his head towards the source of the conversation. Brow's raise upon seeing the bruised Catman. "Shit Thomas! What happened to you?!"

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake is just getting settled in. He wrinkles his nose at the question. Remember how I beat up a bunch of Mutant haters a couple weeks back? They did. You should see what they look like, when the hospital releases them. Next time maybe they'll bring their moms to hit me with their purses. So I heard Gabby... I think she's putting on a bathing suit. You want to get in too? The imps will bring you one of my suits because -Gabby. I think the white angel of rage is around shooting apples off imps or something."

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney pats Rasputin's side before parting to head for her room to get a bathingsuit. Of course, she didn't really know which room was Bellona's at this point... but that was okay. She still had a change of clothes and appropriate attire in her own. It's only a short bit before she comes out in a one-piece with a towel draped over her shoulders. Padding barefoot through she heads out toward the tub. "Scoot over," she orders perhaps unnecessarily. The towel is tossed to the side and she hoists herself up on both hands to lever herself in. Sure there were steps, but...

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Mike's concerned look fades as Thomas points out his status is much better than those who gave him the bruises. The side of his lip curls up to the invite. "Alright." He accepts, before holding up the envelope. "Wade sends this by the way. Where's a dry, SAFE place to put this for you to look at later?"

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake doesn't open his eyes. "Give it to Bloord. The big ugly one." Like that Bloord is at Mike's side, grabbing the paper to run off and possibly inflicting a paper cut.

The tiger looks out at the people massing. Nope. Too many people and near people. He heads to his quiet lair and private pool. Humans.

Saeko has posed:
     A little shift in the air, a light flicker of light before there's another figure by the pool. The best thing about the Griffin? It was full of Satana's imps and other proof of magic.

Saeko appears, her ears and tails revealed and her form wrapped in the deep red yukata she tended to favor in her true form.

Sweeping through the space she comes to lean against the while tilting her head. "Quite the gathering," the kitsune speaks up, "but I suppose this tub is best used with company."

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney just dunks her head forward into the water a moment, face first. It's around this time Saeko appears making her miss the dramatic appearance. When she lifts her head again to sweep her now-wet hair back she blinks rapidly. "Oh, hey again," she greets with a grin. "We met once before." She finishes clambering into the hot tub getting good and thoroughly soaked given she sinks down quite a bit due to her height. It's up to her chin easily. "Thomas is all beaten up, and I'm just worn out from proving myself again. Don't know how many times I have to do it before it sticks." To this she adds, "Adults suck. No offense."

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Envelope snatched out of hand, Mike snatches his hand back to glance to the thin red line appearing between his thumb and index finger. Shaking his head, he starts to back in to borrow a suit, pausing long enough to give Saeko a smile and a friendly wave before disappearing inside.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake agrees. "Adults suck and they're training you kids aaaaaall wrong. You need way more intrusion and escape and avoidance training. Hi Saeko. I don't suppose you can handle healing magic?" He moves to the side as Gabby ducks her head and he hair flip sprinkles him.

"How about you give me a big hug and we see how long it takes Bellona to show up and threaten me. How come you're not surly like the other Mutants?" He opens another beer, barely noticing the cap is not the twist-off kind.

Saeko has posed:
Mike was a familier face, one Saeko lifts fingers to in a wave before lazily leaning down to rest her elbows on the edge of the tub.

Gabby's comments earn a little chuckle, after all she was far older than most here so that likely made her the most 'adult' if it weren't for the whole...spirit thing, but she nods her greeting and turns her head to Thomas' question.

"Not for nothing, but your last offering of the Parasol should suffice..."

A yet uncashed chip, the Tenko's eyes glow that eerie blue light as her magic flares and the blessing takes affect, wounds begining to heal at startling speed. Which is good, because that probably stung Thomas' hand a little!

Gabby Kinney has posed:
"If I hug you, I might hurt you with your injuries right now," Gabby points out with a raised hand wagging a finger in his direction. "It's not like that with Bellona, anyway. She had a rough life. I mean we *all* did, but my sisters protected me from the worst of it. They wanted at least ONE of them to have a chance at a normal life. Bellona and 3PAR would take on a lot of the killing so I didn't have to, and Bellona would take a lot of punishments meant for me. So she's protective, yeah, but it's because she cares about me. Just... angry is the only defense she had for so long." Any further epxlanation dies on her lips as she watches the little surge of magic come from Saeko to heal Thomas. "See, that's cool. I can only heal myself."

Michael Hannigan has posed:
From inside the house there is a bit of impish noise as the quest to find a swimsuit is underway.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake ahs as the bruises fade. His bloody knuckles heal. There are little pops and crackles. He indicates the beer and the water. "What are you waiting for anyway... maybe I should go help Mike... but I want to see how this pans out. Pretty sure Bloord is a Nick Drago fan in the making. He was listening to a CD of his... until Raphael's Flask played. He ran out of the room screaming." He draws a deep breath, hey no more bruised ribs! "Bellona! Come out and be sociable dammit! I think she went out. Being called a crumpet upset her."

Saeko has posed:
A little chuckle, but Saeko steps back...and upwards, coming to a light and lazy recline floating in the air while a small teacup materializes in her hand. "In a moment," she offers, "perhaps I'll join you, but I would not wish for the others to feel uncomfortable."

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney blinks up toward Saeko as she floats around. Only to then glance over at the newly healed Thomas, then back, with a little shrug. "Why would we be uncomfortable?" As she ponders over the possibilities she starts to talk, as she often did, sometimes saying things she shouldn't. "Ooh, if you don't have a bathingsuit that's okay, we can blindfold Thomas. I've seen plenty of naked women before."

Michael Hannigan has posed:
At some point a swimsuit is acquired and changed into. As Mike makes his way out of the house, the loaned out suit doesn't look bad on him, but there might be a question on whether or not the hips are what's keeping it on or the drawstring. Either way, he'll be sitting, not swimming so no biggie.

He's also wearing a bit of an oddly amused expression upon his features. Reaching the hottub, he looks over to Thomas. "...An imp just asked me to sign their forehead."
