Circe

--Circe--
Circe's eye go wide and she jumps up on her feet, squatting on the sofa, as if she is ready to jump and celebrate. She says, "No Efffing Way! So like, what kinda werewolf situation are we talking here? Like, is it a curse? Like, you lose control when the moon is full? Have no memory of when you are changed? Or is more fun, like ou can control when you change? And you can smell fear? And you have super hearing? And you run with a pack? And you oh shit you DO tide a motorcycle, don't you? How effing cool!"

OOC:

So it ends up Circe is a little bit of a monster romance junkie. And she is more than a little into the Masc Biker Dyke vibe. And apparently her preferred monster to become/be with IS the werewolf, so...watch out, Max.

Max stares at Circe in disbelief for a moment before bursting out laughing. "Shit girl," she says, chuckling with amusement. "I've had vamps near shit themselves when they found out I was a wolf, and here you are, a little normie girl, acting like Christmas came around a second time."

She rubs the back of her neck and begins answering questions. "I can transform whenever I want, actually," she says, leaving out that she can't do so on a new moon. That's a weakness. Never admit your weaknesses, especially not to new acquaintances. "I remember it all, and my senses are pretty good, but probably not smelling fear and hearing like Supergirl the way you're describing. There's no pack for me to run with, as I said I'm the only goddamn werewolf in London as far as anyone knows. I uhh... used to have a motorcycle, but I had to sell it to make my rent and look how that fucking turned out. Still, got a few prospects, might be riding again pretty soon."

"Oh! Thank you! That’s very kind of you," Benji says, tucking the money into the pocket of his waistcoat. "I haven’t been able to work as much as I usually like to thanks to everything that’s been happening so it will be handy to have a bit of extra money stored up again, I’m sure."

"Persephone! Hi!" he greets Persephone as she approaches their table. Noticing that she seems to have lost that peculiar flat affect from yesterday, he asks, "How are you feeling? That mark…did you find some way to remove it?"

Emma instinctively stiffened when Pers stepped through the door, reading herself for yet another confrontation, but her tension eased when she smiled at her. Pers looked very composed. And...reasonable. She didn't know why Benji was saying she was acting strange! Or why they should worry about removing her 'mark'.

She decided not to bring up the trouble she caused after their last blowout. Mrs. Spunklecleif overheard every vicious word and wasted no time passing it along to her mother-in-law, who, of course, believed every detail. That soured her relationship with older Mrs. Harper, who already wasn't particularly fond of her daughter in law. But there was no point in reopening it here...

"Don't worry about it" she mumbled, then, sliding her handbag aside to make room, she invited her to join them at their table.

"Yea. Elliot.." she was happy to quickly get down to business, rather than continue an awkward conversation over what happened that night "He’s the vampire who was running things in London. At least, that’s what he told me. His disappearance is already stirring up all sorts of infighting and chaos" whatever happened to 'poor' Teddy? She wanted to help him, but after what happened at Eliot's penthouse, she decided it was better to find the man himself, rather than deal with all the consequences his absence is causing "Anyways...I managed to find out where he vanished. It’s close, just a few streets over, near Hyde Park. I was planning to go there now. See if there’s anything to be found"

Persephone

Persephone orders a coffee -- quad ristretto espresso with a splash of almond milk today -- and sits with them. When Benji asks about the sigilon her back, she sighs with relief and replies, "Yes, thank god! I, well, I took a bit of a DIY approach and just... cut into it, disrupting the sigil and kinda shorting it out. It wasn't the prettiest, but thanks to demon stuff, I healed it up and now I feel like me again. It was... well it wasn't pleasant, having that on me. It was like part of me had been imprisoned... like I was on autopilot. Anyway, no more, thanks! And I was able to, um, work out my feelings last night and I am feeling much better now."

She leans forward, takes a big drink of her coffee, and then looks at Emma tentatively. She says, "So, Em, how are you? How have you been?"

Circe

--Circe--
Circe doesn't looks surprised at what Max says, replying, "Well, I heard that the vampires and werewolves have been at war. Or is that just in the Underworld movies? Regardless, being a werewolf sounds like it doesn't have many downsides, tbh. What am I missing? Oh and, um, sorry to hear you've had a bad stretch but I hope you're back on your feet or, well, back in the saddle I guess, soon!"

She leans forward, super interested to hear all the gory deets about the supernatural, what it's like to be one, to be with one, etc...

"I’m glad you’re feeling better" she offered her a small smile "And that you managed to get rid of that sigil. Whatever it was"

She brushed a lock of blonde hair behind her ear when she asked how she was doing, her tone becoming more cautious "I’m fine, really. Been keeping busy, trying to track down a few people who’ve gone missing lately…" Teddy. Bev. And now Sarah. "- but today I want to concentrate on Eliot. He’s the one I actually got a lead on"

Persephone nodded. All business then. Very well, she thought.

She stood and said, "Ok then, I’m ready to go. Lead the way."

Max

Oct 8, 2025 6:49 am

Max grins lazily, the joint is almost burnt out and she's certainly feeling the effects. "At war with the vampires? Fuck if I know, I'm new to the whole being a monster thing. Hope not though, Benji's a nice guy, be a shame to have to rip his throat out. That fucking bird on the other hand... definitely gonna have to ask him to let me eat it. Cuz I want to fucking eat it."

She sighs. "There's downsides and learning curves, but I don't want to talk about 'em. I'm only six months in, still figuring everything out on my own, still getting used to all this shit." She waggles her brow. "The upsides on the other hand..."

Sensing Circe's interest, Max spends the rest of the evening making up all sorts of salacious details about the vigor and virility of werewolves, before finally it gets far too late, and she excuses herself to head home and to bed.

The next morning, she's up early with dark circles under her eyes, making a breakfast of pancake and eggs for Madison and the Morgans. She's living there rent-free, and while she doesn't really see it the same way she would have as a human (they're the ones in her territory after all), she's still grateful enough to help out here and there when she's not too busy. When that's done, she does the dishes and takes the train with Madison to her elementary school. She gives her daughter a goodbye kiss and a fist-bump, before she's off to the crime scene to see what she can see.

"Let me just grab my coffee to go" she went up to the barista and ordered herself an espresso; no milk, or sugar. She wanted the caffeine hit without the extra calories; those could sneak up on you when you were having several cups a day.

She slipped on her raincoat, scarf, and beanie, then picked up her cup and waited for someone to get the door. "Oh, I’ve been meaning to ask: do either of you know a Maxine Harvey? I met her at the clinic yesterday, and we’re supposed to meet again today. She’s…‘in the know', so I wanted to check if either of you know what she’s about. Is it safe for me to meet her alone?"

Oct 8, 2025 7:35 am

Benji holds the door open for Emma and Persephone and then follows them out. "Max? Oh, yes, I’ve known Max for years! She sells drugs to a few of my friends sometimes. She's a good person. You can certainly trust her." (But then, Benji tends to trust everyone, by default, so perhaps he's not the best judge of such things?) "What are you meeting her for?" he asks, curious.

Persephone looks at Emma and listens to Benji and replies, "A drug dealer? Ooooh boy. So, Circe texted me this morning, telling she’d stayed at your place, Benji… I assume that was… ok? " her eyes probe Benji. They were friendly, but didn’t know each other well, and this was her lil sis!

Persephone says, "I know this doesn’t need be said, but, well, I’d feel better if I did… So, Benji, my sis is off limits, right?"

That out of the way, she continued, saying, "Well anyway, Circe told me she’d spent the night at your place, Benji, chatting with someone named Max? Circe didn’t mention the drug dealer thing, but she did go on for an unusually long time extolling Max’s virtues. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say my allegedly straight sister is experiencing her first girl crush! Poor Max."

Oct 8, 2025 11:01 am

"Certainly! She needed somewhere to sleep and I wasn’t using the place for anything anyway, so I offered her the couch," Benji says, with a shrug.

He smiles obliviously under Persephone’s scrutiny. "Of course!" he agrees, when she asserts that Circe is ‘off limits’. "I’m pretty good at not hurting the people I bite, but it’s still best not to risk it with family of friends, you know?"

"She’s more than just a drug dealer, though" she opened her umbrella with one hand and held her coffee close with the other, as she lead them down the street towards Hyde Park "She knows things about the supernatural world. She knew the faeries were gone from London before anyone at the clinic even mentioned it."

She grew concerned when she learned Circe has been spending time with Max "Pers; you should meet her too, see what she’s about for yourself, especially if, or before, your sister is involved with her"
