"Well then we need to find a medium to make that 'all'. It can't be good for Ty not being able to see you when the others can."

Joss reaches out, almost entirely absently to scratch the back of Rex's neck. "Next question is do you want to do it here or on more neutral territory?"

Permalink

"Will we offend anyone if we do it here?"

Permalink

"Not at all, Jez wants you to be comfortable." She pulls out her phone. "Don't be surprised if she turns up shortly after I-"

Permalink

There's a polite tap at the door.

Permalink

"...She could have at least waited for me to text her," Joss sighs. "How did she even know?!"

Permalink

"It's convenient..."

She smells their visitor before she opens the door.

Permalink

Their visitor has a warm, homely scent - cinnamon and woodsmoke - and does indeed appear to be female.

Permalink

She opens the door slowly.

"Hello. I'm Allison. Sorry about all the fuss."

Permalink

"That's quite alright," the woman at the door says with a warm smile. (The smile honestly feels like it is physically warming you.) "It's hardly your fault after all. Jezebel Apollyon," she holds out a tanned hand.

Permalink

She shakes it firmly. Her grip is stronger than most humans, but not exceptionally so.

"Allison. I heard you could help us with one of our problems?"

Permalink

Scott waves.

Permalink

Jezebel simply smiles, and nods. "Well, I'm certainly going to help you with one, and I'll certainly see what I can find out about why you are here in the first place. I have a few avenues that Joss doesn't have direct access to. "So, you would be the werewolf and...you must be Scott, the ghost?"

She pauses before offering her hand. "I am not entirely sure whether our paradigms will meet, but I have been able to touch ghosts before."

She shoots a look at Joss and Rex who both look like they're about to burst out laughing.

Handshake?

Permalink

(Ty comes down the stairs, stopping just behind Allison.)

Permalink

Handshake and a warm smile! "Do you mind if I ask how long it's been?"

Jezebel glances over to Ty and nods slightly. "Jezebel," she introduces her self.

Permalink

"It's been a year since he died."

Permalink

"Thank you," he says wonderingly.

Permalink

The warm smile stays, and Jezebel doesn't drop his hand immediately, her other hand patting the back of his. "That's a long time."

She glances at Ty. "I'll see about locating a medium to teach you how to see Scott."

Then she turns her attention back to Allison. "So, Joss said you needed somewhere safe to roam during a full moon?"

Permalink

"That's right. Anywhere I won't run into people is fine, unless there are any wild animals that need protecting. Derek will want a source of blood, but he won't ask you. He's hiding."

Permalink

"Is there somebody official we should talk to? About- parking our house here."

Permalink

Jezebel laughs quietly. "This is unfortunately not a situation we've encountered before, if there is an official in charge of things like this, I certainly don't know about it."

She hums thoughtfully. "Our estate will almost certainly suffice. And there are protections in place to make sure that no-one can stray on or off the estate, I'm sure we can adjust those to adequately ensure both your safety and the safety of the people around you."

She hums quietly. "I assume you set Derek up with a supplier?"

Permalink

"Yeah," Joss nods. "The one the twins use."

Permalink

"Then unless he wishes to meet me, despite my own curiosity, I won't push the matter."

Permalink

"Me or Scott can try to talk him around, if you wanted to stay for a while. It never works when Ty tries it, or they'd both be down here already."
