Luckily, she is rescued by Noah and taken back to his house for a hot shower and a fresh change of clothes. A simple, cut-and-dry rescue mission... that is, until Noah reveals that he's aware she's Gifted and has "borrowed" her ability. But still, things go extremely well! They discuss their gifts and experiment with them a bit. Even discovering their opposing involvements in Sector/Blackstorm doesn't put too much of a damper on things. They're vibing and flirting. Then Tawny sees a murder-y memory of Noah's and things take a nosedive into heck. The morning ends with her a cried-out, terrified mess, climbing into the back of an Uber and being driven home (despite momentarily considering the possibility she might never leave his house at all). A week later she returns to his door to leave a basket with his borrowed clothes, a note thanking him for his timely rescue, and her new phone number. [break] CAN'T STOP YOU CROSSING MY MIND NOAH ST CLOUD Noah shows up drunk at Tawny's apartment a couple of weeks after their initial encounter. She's surprised and a little startled but isn't too terribly afraid and — like a crazy, silly girl with no sense of self-preservation — invites him in. She lets her ferrets assault him a bit. He reveals that he never followed through on his threats to have her family and friends targeted should he be nabbed because of her. They conversate about their families and themselves. Then they play a game of "two truths and one lie" that very quickly devolves as Noah's drunken sluttiness drives them to distraction. Eventually, Tawny draws a line... but still lets him sleep the night in her bed. [break] WHEN THE SUN COMES UP NOAH ST CLOUD The morning after a drunken Noah sleeps over, Tawny wakes beside him, ruminates about the sharing of her Gift in their sleep, and then sneaks off to start breakfast. After recovering from a roundabout, perhaps misconstrued, suggestion of "exclusivity" between them, they talk over some eggs, toast, and coffee. They take another peek into one another's memories. Then Noah takes off. [break] NEXT TIME, BRING A FRIEND NOAH ST CLOUD Tawny is on 'Aunt Duty' at the Festival of Frights. Her young niece, Belle, drags her to the ferris wheel where she runs into a familiar face. She hasn't seen Noah since the night he showed up drunk at her house. But they flirt, she takes some joy in watching her niece bewilder and pester him, and then things — is it typical for them?? — take a nose-dive into heck when Belle upchucks a funnel cake in his lap and over his shoes. But they recover and, after some scolding from her sister-in-law, Tawny meets back up with him at his house. She's given a house tour that ends, predictably, in the master bedroom. [break] DEAD/ABANDONED THREADS A NEAT & TIDY, TIGHTLY-SEALED BOX JOSIAH QUINN Tawny is called into the Sector on her day off to work her memory magic. Assumed ending: Tawny does what Josiah asks of her but he puts her off any attempt for further engagement. [break] BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER N/A Strange things are afoot at Kappa Kappa Tau! Tawny attends the frat party dressed as Theodore Logan. Assumed ending: It's a very boring night. [break] ANOTHER TRIP AROUND THE SUN ZANE FOWLER Tawny turns twenty-six! Her friends have a wild night planned for her but she chooses to start the morning pretending it's a day like any other. She stops at a coffee shop and invites Zane to sit at her table. Assumed ending: Tawny and Zane chat, discover they live close to one another, and she invites him to join her birthday brigade that night. Zane's a no-show. [break] SHARP LITTLE PINPRICKS NICHOLAS VILLIN A bad time at the club turns into a dumpster-diving kitten rescue turns into... something very strange and scary! Note: This thread is no longer considered canon. [break] COVER YOUR TRACKS CASS HARLOW Tawny is on some official Men In Black Sector business. Cass witnessed a Gifted spectacle and we just can't have that, can we? [break] A BIT OF A FIXER-UPPER ATTICUS HARE Tawny finally takes the plunge and leases a studio for her hobbies. Unfortunately, the place has already been vandalized! She hits up the hardware store to start clean-up and Atticus is there to offer some know-how. Assumed ending: The storeowner already had Tawny in a mood, so Atticus' "charming" helpfulness made her pretty catty. She ended up telling him (and the storeowner) off and stomping out to clean up her studio by herself. Girl needs no man (she ended up calling Cooper after twenty minutes, shh.) [break] GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN FELICITY EVERETTE It's shaping up to be a boring night... until one of Tawny's girlfriends invites her to some fun at Illusion Lounge. Assumed ending: The girls have a very typical Tawny-Felicity night out! [break] A CLASSIC KITTY-CAT HIJACK EVENING CADIEUX Tawny steals Eve's cat for a couple hours.

Tawny received a card/note, tickets to a TENDER concert, a bottle of white rum, a balcony railing planter, a Baywatch float, a cat carving, outfits for her ferrets, two dresses, and a ring. She sent him a smart-ass text message about the sundresses ("it's OCTOBER lmao"). Has put the cat carving on her headboard (next to the catch-tray she uses to shed all her jewelry when she crawls into bed). [break] NEXT YEAR I COULD BE JUST AS GOOD NOAH ST CLOUD (Gift/Post) Gifts from Mirror's characters! From Noah St Cloud, Tawny received a card/note, Broadway tickets, earrings, a necklace, loungewear, a burnt CD, a stun-gun case for her phone, a set of books, and gifts for her pets. The jewelry was added to her collection, she wears the pajamas when she feels like living on her couch/in her bed for the whole weekend, has the CD stowed away in a safe-keep shoebox (after creating an identical playlist on her phone that she can listen to easily), and she has mixed feelings about the stun-gun case and has not yet implemented its use. [break] NOTHING FANCY THIS YEAR CHRISTMAS 2023 (Gift/Post) Gifts given by Rinse's characters! Tawny sent various gifts to Luck Harris, Bridget Lacey, and Noah St Cloud. [break] IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS BRIDGET LACEY (Gift/Post) Christmas gifts from Aimee's characters! From Bridget Lacey, Tawny received a candle, three t-shirts, and a card/note. She keeps the candle on her work desk for decoration and the card was added to a shoebox of all sorts of cards that Tawny's collected over the years. [break] IF IT'S NOT ON THE DAY, IT'S COMPLETELY... NOAH ST CLOUD (Gift/Post) Not a Valentines present. From Noah, Tawny received a sketchbook and some chocolate bars. [break] THE IRREFUTABLE, INDISPUTABLE FACT... SECTOR GANG (Text) Started as a text chain between Bridget and Tawny, lamenting about long work days. When they began discussing weekend plans and Bridget suggested HIKING of all things, Tawny had to add Luck in so he could back her up. The exact opposite happened and the three ended up planning a camping trip together (as well as a honky-tonk outing).

[attr="class","kittycat-threadbox"][PTabbedContent] [PTab=FORUM THREADS] [attr="class","kittycat-threadbox2"] CURRENT THREADS MAYBE I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE EVENING CADIEUX[break] ANOTHER COG IN THE MURDER MACHINE EMERY DONNOVAN [BREAK] AIN'T F*CKIN' WITH NO ZEBRA FELICITY EVERETTE[break] I'VE BEEN THINKING TOO MUCH MADDISON LANCASTER[break] KINGDOM COME JASON SHARPE & DARCY VANCE [break][break] PLANNED/UPCOMING THREADS SHIT ASSIGNMENT GENESIS DONOVAN [break][break] COMPLETED THREADS CALM YOU FUCKING DOWN! NOAH ST CLOUD Inspired by watching The Matrix (drunk at 3am). Dane gets a little sliced up on a chase after a Guild defector. He finds aid in "Nick", who breaks into an apartment and stitches him up. Things get (somehow) weirder when they find a captive man in the apartment's bathtub. Dane divulges his line of work and his Gift and also murders Tub-Guy. Nick gets to play around with beast summoning and then the pair part ways. [break] SILLY LITTLE BEAST OF BONE MAYVIS FALCON Dane has spent a boring, mundane morning doing chores for his Mama. Then he runs into Mayvis, a snobby rich-girl walking her pet bobcat. The pair immediately don't get along and Dane is pretty much ready to make a bloody statement. Then Mayvis reveals she's a Guild hunter! But it doesn't help. He eventually tells her they can hunt together later that night just so she'll let him leave. [break] ALL HELL & ITS FIRE WAITS FOR US GRACE GATSBY Dane returns home at his father's beckoning. Then he blows off the old man's degrading list of chores and steals away to his childhood treehouse with a six-pack of his Mama's beer. Grace joins him. They play their usual games, Antonio makes an appearance, and then they're off! Supposedly, Dane survives the day. [break] GOOD DOGS MAKE BAD LOVERS NOAH ST CLOUD Dane's father, probably by having Dane watched, found out about his son's little dalliance with a Gifted girl and decides the appropriate punishment is having Dane kill her. Dane holds out for a while but eventually — like a good, well-beaten dog — is brought to heel and does his father's bidding. Nick finds him being all wallow-y afterward at a shitty playground. The pair talk, drink, learn a little more about one another, Dane lets Nick play around a little more with beast summoning, then Nick's had enough and is on his way again. [break] COURTESY IS A TURNCOAT EVENING CADIUEX Dane gets a bit messy during a Guild meet-up gone bad and Eve finds herself a witness to the gory aftermath. He has a grand, happy time terrifying and toying with her. But after Evening shares that she's telepathic/clairvoyant and pokes just a bit around Dane's head, he gets a little sympathetic (and a little honest and a little self-loathing). And he lets her go. [break] HELL IS EMPTY (ALL THE DEVILS ARE HERE) MADDIE & MASON Dane's cut up and feeling a bit doomy. Rather than bleeding out quietly and letting everyone sleep, he climbs up to his neighbor's apartment to see if she might be able to lend some assistance. She texts her paramedic brother for back-up, Dane and him puff up at each other just a little, but things go without a hitch. Maddie keeps him from dying and helps him back to his own apartment. [break] THIS PICTURE'S FROZEN AND I CAN'T... GENESIS DONOVAN After his couple long weeks of bedrest, Dane's feeling great! Then a fellow Guild member approaches him in the club with "some questions". Turns out, he killed this woman's father — Ray Donovan. After exchanging a quick dance for some smart-ass answers, Dane relents and actually answers her questions over a tray of lemon shots. The pair share a (somehow/surprisingly) pleasant conversation about shitty fathers, the Guild, and their fucked-up lives. Then Dane — being Dane — decides to make a move and Genie (understandably/not surprisingly) books it. [break] GOOD LITTLE GIRL; BAD LITTLE BOY KATRINA WELLS Dane gets catfished. </3 After finding his phone number on a bar bathroom wall (along with some not-nice messages), Katrina decides to text him and let him know about the slander! She "invites" him to come watch her performance that night at the bar. Upon arriving and seeing she's super young and definitely not his type, he decides the night's better spent getting drunk and beat up. Katrina later finds him in an alley, enjoying his misery, and helps him out. But Dane thinks she's far too nice and needs taught a little lesson about mean ole, icky-boy strangers. Even though he treats her very poorly, she still doesn't abandon him, and they end up getting Dim Sum before parting ways. [break] THE HUNTER'S TRAP GEMMA GATSBY Dane gets paired up for a Guild assignment. Upon meeting up with and recognizing his new partner, he has to wonder who is the unluckier of the two of them. Gemma and him catch up, waste a decent chunk of time getting up to a couple shenanigans/games, and then eventually get back on task and move on to the forest to find their hunting target. [break] DEAD/ABANDONED THREADS VODKA NIGHTMARES TALIN LAVIGNE Dane gets nice and bloody in a good fight, initiated to stave off the lingering hurts of an absent brother. Talin finds him bleeding in the alley next to her work and she does a heckin' concern. Assumed ending: Talin decides she doesn't like Dane's vibes (understandable) so, after making sure he isn't going to die, leaves him to sleep it off in the garbage. [break] CRIMSON DIPLOMACY OSHA MOORE Osha comes across Dane dealing out some Guild justice in an underused alley. Just a bit of fun that got out of hand, bound to get even more out of hand, when Osha decides she can't just turn a blind eye. Assumed ending: Osha puts up a surprising fight and Dane ends up having to flee when they draw too much attention. [break] THERE'S NO ONE AROUND & YOUR PHONE IS DEAD N/A Dane steals some booze from a party and stumbles off into the woods. Then he sees some weird shapeshifter and wonders what the heckie is up. Assumed ending: Turns out that the lady and wolf-dude kinda had a thing going and just slipped off into the woods for some privacy. Disappointed and bored, Dane stumbles off to sleep in some bushes. [break] GUESS WHO? NICHOLAS ACKER VILLIN Dane's given the task of hunting Acker at his own party. Note: This thread is no longer considered canon. [break] LONG TIME COMING MATTIS FOX Dane gets kicked out of the bar after a very one-sided fight and Mattis is there to offer some assistance. She takes him across the street, chats him up, and gives him more booze. Then she takes him home with her! Assumed ending: Mattis was a little too chatty and reserved for Dane's usual tastes. Very flip-floppy. Did she take him home to sleep with him or not?? He tried winning the night in her bed but she just kept talking. A little too boozed and beaten up anyway, Dane ended up passing out on her couch mid-conversation. She covered him up (aww) and he woke/slipped out in the middle of the night. [break] BAY AT THE MOON ATTICUS HARE After spending the afternoon doing Guild laundry-list tasks, Dane starts the evening off right with a good fight. Then Atticus almost runs him over with his car. Dane hops in and they're off to a bar to find some more trouble. Assumed ending: Atticus and Dane got along alright for the most part. Enjoyed a night of picking fights and getting roughed up. [break] BITE THE HAND THAT THIEVES ETHAN RIVERS Dane visits the police station after his dog bites a dude. [break] LEFT FOR DEAD NICHOLAS ACKER VILLIN Dane's on the prowl (unfortunately, it's actually work-related). [break] GET AWAY, YOU CLONE FREAK! GEMMA GATSBY Mondays are mundane, Wednesdays are wild, and Fridays are about to get a little freaky. Halloween shenanigans!

From Gemma Gatsby, Dane received a rat plush, a stack of new sketchbooks, a wooden box of sketching equipment, a bottle of vodka, and a bottle of red wine. The alcohol is already gone. The rat plush camps on his cat tree. The sketching box was shoved under his bed along with the sketchbooks (he'll pull one out when he needs to start a new one). [break] NOTHING FANCY THIS YEAR CHRISTMAS 2023 (Gift/Post) Gifts given by Rinse's characters! In addition to buying himself a hat, Dane sent gifts to Gemma Gatsby, Grace Gatsby, Genesis Donovan, Noah St Cloud, and Maddison Lancaster. [break] NEXT YEAR I COULD BE JUST AS GOOD NOAH ST CLOUD (Gift/Post) Christmas gifts from Mirror's characters! From Noah, Dane received a rat ring. He had a chuckle about it. Though he doesn't plan on ever wearing it (that'd be fucking weird - plus it didn't quite fit any of his girl fingers lmao), he added it to his small collection of various rings. [break] IT'S THAT DAY AGAIN GEMMA GATSBY (Gift/Post) Birthday gifts from Gemma Gatsby! Includes a note (with an old Polaroid), a t-shirt, and a hat. Dane immediately went out to buy magnets so he could pin the Polaroid on his fridge. Gemma received a selfie of himself (twisted around in his mirror so both the text of the shirt and hat were on display), captioned "When she reads you to absolute filth". The letter he tucked into one of his older, full sketchbooks for safekeeping. [break] JUST A LITTLE THING GENESIS DONOVAN (Gift/Post) Birthday gift from Genesis Donovan! Includes a note and a Walmart employee vest. Dane was extremely amused and cackled until he cried a little bit lmao. He took dozens of selfies in a polo, khakis, and his new vest, hair slicked all neat and clean. With captions like "Let me just radio my manager", "Service with a smile!" (smiling in a way that is obviously unsettling/unnerving), "Yeah, not to brag, but I'm looking at a promotion within the next 7-10 years", and "Open enrollment this week! Did you take a look at our benefit packages? WOWZA". Now the vest hangs on a lamp in the corner of his apartment (a permanent, decorative fixture).

After taking a trip out of town to make a phone call and hear his mother's voice, he returns home and attends a bonfire/beach party. There he comes across Gemma Gatsby, celebrating his birthday as well (albeit in a much sadder fashion). Though he knows he shouldn't, Ashley reaches out to her; sharing a teary, hopeful reunion and blowing six whole years of successful hiding/non-existence. [break] DEAD/ABANDONED THREADS SOMETHING GOOD MATTIS FOX A thread that takes place on Ashley's twenty-ninth birthday. He leaves work and, on a whim, pops into a small, Mom and Pop theatre to watch a film. Mattis joins him. Assumed ending: They're the only two people in the theatre and the audio isn't working! To make the most of everything, they sit next to each other and make up their own lines for the first half of the movie, cracking themselves up by coming up with the goofiest, most cliche shit. Then they bail halfway through the film and go catch a bite to eat. [break] HIT THE FLOOR BEFORE YOU GO MATTIS FOX Ashley visits the bar after a long day of work. Mattis joins him.

It hasn't yet been a month since their split and things are slotted to be awkward/tense. They manage to make some decisions, sort through some DVDs and books, but then they skip the surface of their conflict and things get emotional. It's more honesty and vulnerability than they've shared in quite a while. And its exhausting. They barely get anything done and, while giving Charlie a goodnight walk, Luck gets choked up and has to leave (taking the dog with him). [break] WHERE THE PEACHES GROW BRIDGET LACEY Luck's on mandatory leave for the week when Nate texts him about a friend (...?) having trouble with their car. Nate is disappeared by the time he shows up but Luck recognizes the car-owner as a colleague. He doesn't know Bridget well, at least not beyond the couple of cases they've worked together on and the few times Tawny has mentioned her during their hangs. But the pair are immediately off on a good foot as they learn a little about one another (including their similar stomping grounds and a shared love of traveling). Luck diagnoses the car's problems and then drives Bridget back to the Sector so he can make the fix while she's at work. [break] GOLDEN HOUR, COFFEE HOUR WALTER BELL After being given Walter's file, Luck decides to check in on the young man at his work. Just to subtly gauge how he is faring since moving to Los Eurosia. And maybe make sure he isn't close to flying off the handle at any point since, y'know... historically... that could lead to.... a lot of death. Walter is immediately friendly and the pair have lunch together. Luck spends the short time trying to gauge Walter's emotional state. When it becomes somewhat obvious that, tucked behind and between the young man's constant sunniness, there might be some unresolved trauma... he leaves his card with him and decides it'd probably be best to follow-up in the near-future. [break] CAN'T LEAVE A HIGH (BUT YOU CAN... FELICITY EVERETTE A "Messy" Wednesday night. Luck is thoroughly drunk (he's lost his shirt, his hat, and misplaced his wallet and phone at least a dozen times already) when he happens upon a friend of a friend! He meets Felicity, who he recognizes from the pictures in Tawny's camera roll. Despite some initial enthusiasm and shared joking/laughs, the pair are on different levels of drunkenness and Luck gets a bit gloomy. He leaves his new acquaintance to the rest of her night in favor of some fresh air. [break] DEAD/ABANDONED THREADS EMPTY GENERALITIES JAMES CLARK & TAWNY VOKES Luck invites James to the first Sector softball game of the Spring bracket. James joins them and — despite some jersey mishaps and general mixed feelings — manages to build a little rapport. Abandoned. Assumed ending (discussed with Blink): The Sector still lost... by a lot. But the game was surprisingly exciting, especially at the end when even Tawny made it to home plate! The team, accustomed to losing and never too enthusiastic, actually got refreshingly swept up in the rush! By the way they were yelling and hugging and hopping around, one could mistakenly believe they'd actually won.[break][break] At Luck's insistence, some of them went out for a celebratory drink afterward. Even though he betrayed them to join the FBI's team, Evan was forgiven and allowed to join them (but was given a lot of shit throughout the evening). James initially joined them but slipped out unnoticed at some point. He received a text message from Luck later in the night, thanking him for showing up and giving it a chance. [break] BUT MAYBE I JUST MIGHT CHARLOTTE LEWIS Though Luck is used to doing "handyman" favors for friends... and even friends of friends... friends of strangers is a bit out of his comfort zone. He's sent Charlotte's way by a girlfriend of hers who lives in his apartment building. It doesn't help that her issue is a clogged bathroom drain when her friend prepped him for furnace work! The pair battle through the awkward acquaintance bits, there's some impromptu spider-removal, and Luck gets everything in working order again. He leaves his number with Charlotte in case she ever needs future help. [break] WOULDN'T PUT MY MONEY ON ME N/A Past/AU thread (unreplied to), sorta can just be a one-shot now.

[break][break] From Nate, at Harmony, Luck received a Jeff Gordon Funko, a Kyle Busch hat, and two cruise tickets to Alaska. Luck had to excuse himself from the festivities and go smoke a cigarette for a very long time after opening the envelope with the tickets. Nadia ended up checking up on him after awhile and they had a nice, quiet talk (in which Luck made sure to let her know — as best as Luck can — how much he loves and appreciates her, in case things work out in such a way that it's not "right" for him to really come around again).[break][break] The Funko now resides (out of the box) on his TV stand and he has worn the Kyle Busch hat for all of January.
