Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord.

"So, Yulong approached me last night about coming to work for us. Now, I don't have an issue with hiring somebody normally, and I did agree to a probationary period, like we do with all new hires. if he wants to live on the estate, I'll assign him a cabin like we do with other new hires. He'll be a floater to start, and he'll be assigned where I put him. However, there is something you need to know about this one. Yulong told me he had a special reason for wanting to leave his crew in Hong Kong and come to work for us. He told me he really didn't want you to know, but Yulong doesn't realize you're family to me already. And I don't play those games. I'm not going to let you be blindsided.

"Yulong told me he thinks you're his soulmate and he wants to come work here so he can get to know his soulmate better. Now, perhaps it will work out. That's none of my business, but, just so you know, I am uncomfortable that he wasn't willing to talk to you about this, and I'm even more uncomfortable that he only knew you for a couple hours before he came to this conclusion and you two haven't even had a chance to have a single conversation. I don't buy that you two can be soulmates yet. It's just pure codswallop. What happens or doesn't happen with the two of you is absolutely none of my business, but if it gets sticky or uncomfortable, you let me know, and he'll either straighten up or he'll be gone. Fair enough?"

Jessie stood and listened to Angus thinking back to that day they worked together. " hum, that explains why his men kept me back on that last mission" he said sitting down on the grass where he stood as he pondered Angus's words. " I'll see how it goes," he said " I'm not about to jump into bed with another guy right away anyway and I do have some dignity, but yeah, I'll let you know if things get..sticky." he sat thinking for a moment " and oh I won't let it affect us working together ether, for now, that's what I'm focusing on, if he can't accept that then he is crazy and you can ship him home." He stood up and brushed off his trousers and looked at Angus. " thanks for letting me know though" he said glancing at where Jack went into the barn. 


Ruby walked out and down to Jessie to stand with Angus " were looking out for you and don't want you to be hurt again" she said Jessie nodded and loked at her.

"I know and apriciate your concern , like I said Im not jumping into another mans arms, its too soon after Kaden." he told her and Ruby smiled nodding her head. " sorry I have to get back on patrol." he said  and moved to the barn to help Jack.

"he took that well" Ruby said " and I think he has his prioritys right this time, what do you think?" she asked.

"Good," Angus said. "That works for me." He watched Jessie go back to work. "I think he's in better shape than he was," Angus said to Ruby. "He knows, and now it's up to him to manage it. Now, we're out of it unless he says otherwise or unless Yulong buggars up his job. If he buggars the job, then that's not Jessie's issue. That's mine. Otherwise, it's none of our b..." He was interrupted by the kitchen door of the main house opening. Abbey came outside to play in some of the autumn leaves, but she saw Finn, and the minute she did, she went all Labrador. In a twinkling, she was a labrador pup and she was sprinting across the yard to go meet Finn.

"Well, shit," Angus sighed. "Looks like we're about to have a full-on doggie playdate. She's never seen another dog before. I didn't think about that. Sam! Victor! Get your bums out here." A moment later, the boys came out and saw the two dogs.

"Is that..." Sam began.

"Uh huh," Angus sighed.

"Well, crap," Sam sighed. "You need us to puppy sit, don't you?"

"Yes, please?" Angus asked.

"Okay. We're on it," Sam sighed. "Abbey, what are we going to do with you?" His question was more rhetorical than anything else because he didn't expect Abbey to answer, but the metamorph was something they were going to have to get used to.

Ruby chuckled and nodded as she stood with Angus " seems whatever Jeffery did with him has worked in his favour" she said then saw Abby run out of the house and over to Finn who began playing with her. Ruby watched as Angus called Sam and Victor out to dog-sit the pair of them she could not help but chuckle at Finn and Abbys antics " well at least she will be wore out for Khaat. "She said then looked to the boys " don't let her near any water please , Khaat will not be happy to have a wet dog running around the house." she smiled at them and looked down to Angus. "Im going to go and see if th main house needs any help" she said leaning down and kissing him gently " call me if you need me" she said heading over to the main house.

"Good morning" she said entering the kitchen and turning on their ketle for a fresh pot of coffee. She smiled seeing Jess sat reading " not working to day?" she asked


Jess looked up at her and shook her head " nope its my day off today" she said as she put down the paper and walked ovr to her " so how you feeling?" she asked Ruby just smiled " ah morning sinkess gone now" Ruby nodded " thats good."

Angus had Andrew take him over to the main house. He had Andrew help him get an idea of what was in the fridge and the pantry at the main house, at Edward and Simone's, and at Angus and Ruby's side of the duplex. Then Angus worked most of the morning on an order to the supplier for each house, and he made a separate order for supplies for Finn. He had Andrew send the orders into the supplier and to the pet store. He wanted the main house and their own house to be well supplied for the week, and he wanted Edward and Simone to come home to a fully equipped house. Andrew said he would go over and try to get rid of anything in Edward's fridge or pantry that needed disposed of so that all the food could be put away properly.

Angus decided to take some corn tortillas and cut them and fry them into crispy corn chips and the make a taco salad for lunch for everyone. He decided on some caramel apple empanadas for dessert. He planned on dusting the empanadas with a bit of cinnamon sugar.

While Andrew did the prep for the taco salad, Angus made the dough for the empanadas first and then made the caramel apple filling. He assembled the empanadas and got them ready to deep fry. Andrew helped him saute the taco meat filling and helped him assemble individual taco salads for everyone, and they set out the plates in the dining room so that people could just grab them, top them with whatever taco extras they wanted, whether it was sour cream or extra cheese or extra peppers or extra sauces. And Andrew set out pitchers of beverages for everyone.

They called everyone for lunch, and when they did, the dogs came barreling into the house--Abbey, followed by Finn. Angus figured they would have to live with Abbey being a dog all day, but Robert came down from his workroom upstairs, after taking the day because of being up so late. When he saw Abbey as a pup and hanging with Finn, it made him laugh.

"I should have expected that," he said. "Well, I'd better change her back." He made quick work of changing her back while Andrew gave Finn a couple corn chips as a treat until the dog supplies came.

"Hope you're hungry," Andrew told them all. "Angus made taco salads and he's made some caramel apple empanadas for dessert."

Ruby looked at Angus as he entered and went to the kitchen to start lunch for everyone. Jess returned to her newspaper and Ruby began to help put the supplies Angus had ordered in the right place as some went to Simone and Edwards's side of the duplex. " smells wonderful" she said as he cooked then took a small amount of the cheese smiling at him. She stepped to one side as the dogs came barreling into the house "Finn sit" she said and he did just so. Ruby saw Robert come from upstairs and smiled at him " afternoon Robert" she said " sleep well?" she asked as she saw Angus give Fin some corn chips to see him till his food and supplies arrived.

Jessie walked in talking to Jack then paused " wow Abby go all dog again" he asked and Ruby nodded he just shrugged and looked to Robert "afternoon, nothing to report on patrol today, it's pretty much quiet." he said as Jack chuckled and nodded " so we got two days till the new guy appears." he said sitting down and taking an empanada and adding peppers to it and extra cheese " yum thanks Angus" he said as he then ate in silence.

"Good afternoon. I did, thanks," Robert replied to Ruby. "I got up early, nipped back to Paris so I could meet Kieran and Fi. I made a placement of the teen girl--who is also named Fiona--and i sent her with Kieran and Fi to Colorado. I'll file paperwork for guardianship of her today so we don't have to uproot her again, but when I told her we placed Finn with a family already and promised to get her some pictures, she was very pleased. We'll let her grieve her dad's death and then transfer her to Ilvermorny so she can continue her schooling. She should have been in classes at Hogwarts, but she didn't go this year because she didn't have a way to get to King's Cross. So she missed the train. She'll have to catch up, but she's smart, so I think she'll do fine."

Robert changed Abbey back to her normal form and he set her at the table with a plate of taco salad and a glass of lemonade. Then he got his own plate.

"I can't remember when I've had taco salad last. It's a great change. Thanks, Angus. Yes, I am aware of Yulong being hired. So far as I'm concerned, he's just another hire. We'll see how he does when he gets here."

Kate came in from the barn, and she took a moment to feed Fudge and to greet Finn. She reached into her pocket and got out a rawhide chew for Finn, who appeared to be in seventh heaven with it.

"Where'd you come up with a rawhide chew, Kate?" Angus asked.

"She went dog treat shopping when she got back from your place last night, and an order of things to spoil her 'new granddog' with got here just after breakfast," Robert said.

"He deserves to be spoiled just like the rest of us," Kate said.

Jessie looked at Robert and nodded "You'll get no arguments from me" he said eating his food " and its good to hear she's going to get a better life, we found her in that basement and she looked rather worn down, but she was still fiesty." he said with a chuckle "I think she suprised Yulong too with how she pushed him to one side to get out." he added as he added some more cheese. Ruby looked at him and shook her head.

"too much cheese isn't good for you" she said moving the bowl out of his reatch and adding some to her own food.She saw Kate enter and give Finn a treat and smiled " oh I agree" she said " he was a very good boy last night."

"Well, standard procedure for us is for Kate and I to take guardianship so that she has legal parents, but placement can be made at any of several associates we have," Robert told Jessie. "Brian and I both thought that since Fiona--Brian's sister--is such a good mom that perhaps this new Fiona would do well there in Colorado with her. The ranch has a lot of space and it is a working ranch with a lot of horses and cattle and all kinds of animals and crops. I'm sure if she wants a new dog or some other pet that she'll be able to do that, but since she'll be back in school, she may want a cat or an owl for now. So, new Fiona met with Brian's brother and sister, and she got on well enough with them that they all decided it was worth a try, and I sent her off with them. Some of our men went to her home and got her belongings and a few memory pieces she wanted. We'll store the rest of those things for her until she turns 18, and then she can do what she likes with the rest of her things and her dad's things. She is definitely a bit of a spitfire, so who knows if we see her again or not here. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if she did some sort of career in adventure of some sort."

"Well, then she'd fit in fine if she decides to return," Angus said. "How many kids are you now the parents of?"

"Currently? Or how many have we had all together?"

"No, just now," Angus said.

"Um..." Robert said, trying to count. "Thirty one right now, I think. That's why I'm saying I think we need another property, a property that is an unplottable piece where these kids we have can live in peace and where they can heal physically and emotionally, where they can learn and feel loved and, if need be, they can stay there until they're grown and ready to face the world with the skills to not just barely survive but thrive."

"Then maybe its time we get serious about it," Angus said. "Maybe we need to start looking at some land and maybe we need to build it. It's a good idea, Robert, but so long as its just an idea, it isn't going to help even one. For some of the kids we take in, a place like that would be a good next step from the headquarters. I think we should talk about it, all of us, and see what everyone thinks, but I'm betting you'll have 100 % support for it."

Jessie sat and listened to Robert tell them how many children he's adopted himself and he whistled softly " that's a lot" he said as he sat back and sipped his coffee listening " might be a good idea to have a second compound or something" Jessie said finishing his coffee, standing up he moved to the sink where he placed the cup into the sink then turned to face Angus and Robert as they talked "well you have my suport." he said as Jack and Jess walked into the room.

"suport in what?" Jack asked and Jessie explained " oh thats a wonderful idea, count us in." Jessica said smiling at Robert and Angus. Ruby sat quiet listening and gave a smile to Angus only giving a nod to him he had her support.
