TOC: I'm not sure
having all you guys here at the same time is a great idea, but welcome!
Rafe: Always a
pleasure to visit. I have to admit I've
been a little disappointed you haven't brought us back more often.
Gabe: Yes we are
welcome, I can see all the females drooling but my calendar is booked up.
Rhett: Thank you TOC,
for having me. There are very few things
I would take time off for, but this should be an interesting visit.
TOC: *Thinking the
testosterone in this room is something that needs to be knocked down a notch or
two* Let me ask you each a few
questions, and I'll try not to keep you tied up for long.
(Gabe and Rhett sharing a quick chuckle at the comment and
trying to remain professional)
TOC: Rafe, we haven't
check in with you or Cara in a few months.
How is everything going with the Tears Nightclub?
Rafe: We're enjoying
a much needed vacation at the moment. We've
left the club with Anthony and he's doing a great job. With Halloween coming up in the Quarter, there have been many preparations under
way. It was really nice to hear that
Anne Rice was moving back as well. Cara
is a huge fan of her work, so she's
chomping at the bit to return to New Orleans.
TOC: Rhett, there's
been some controversy being raised since your story aired about your somewhat,
um, different relationship? Would you
care to elaborate?
Rhett: People often dislike
what they don't understand. Leah is
happy, and she is my concern. The only
thing I really care to elaborate on there, is that Leah wouldn't be with me if
this wasn't something she wanted. Leah
has asked me to be subtle about my responses to the press, so I'll say that she
can come back an answer questions about her feelings at another time.
TOC: Gabe, it was
pretty shocking to the staff to find out you and Shelby were now
exclusive. How are you dealing with not
being the playboy, so to speak at Tears these days.
Gabe:
*Chuckling* Never let it be said
that I've lost my touch. Yes, Shelby and
I are exclusive. I still play with my
little pets though, we just keep things at a more, shall we say professional
level? *Smirking and raising an eyebrow*
TOC: So the dungeon
is not closed? Many rumors were going
around about you closing the doors permanently.
Gabe: The Dungeon
doors will always be open. *Looks at
Rhett with a knowing grin* I've heard you and Leah also enjoy a little
playtime in your own dungeon?
Rhett: *Smiling and
giving a curt nod* We have our own
personal dungeon, of course you are welcome to stop in and demonstrate for our
friends. I'm certain they would enjoy
seeing the different styles between us.
Gabe: I'll speak with
Shelby about that, I haven't truly brought her out in public yet.
TOC: *Trying to gain
control over the interview again* Rafe, there were some rumors that there was
unrest in the Supernatural world. Would
you like to comment on that?
Rafe: I'd like to
know where these rumors are generating from? *Fangs descend* Rumors like that only feed into the
speculation and we've had enough war over the last century. *Sits forward in the chair waiting
impatiently for an answer*
TOC: We can't reveal
our sources, Rafe. You can understand
that if people are afraid of repercussions, they won't divulge information?
Gabe: *Calms the reporter with a quick glance* We can
discuss this later. *Smiling as he continues
the mind control*
Rafe: *Realizing that
now is not the time to continue the line of questioning, sits back and retracts
his fangs* You and the rest of the
citizens can rest at ease, there is no discontent in the supernatural world at
the moment.
TOC: *Feeling calm again after a brief moment of panic* So what are the plans gentleman, for this year's
festivities.
Rhett: Leah and I
won't be able to make it to New Orleans, so we'll be at home in Chicago
celebrating with a dungeon party.
Rafe: Gabe and
Anthony are handling the Tears Halloween Bash, but Cara has asked that we
return home to enjoy it. We should be
arriving back in the States the day before Halloween.
Gabe: We've been
planning a huge party at the club, and from the reservations at the hotels, it
looks to be one of our biggest years yet.
The news of Anne Rice returning, along with the Balls and events lined
up in the Quarter, it should be chaotic and an enjoyable time for all the
humans. Of Course our friends at the Boutique Du Vampyre expect a huge turnout.
TOC: Thank you all
for taking the time out of your busy schedules to meet with us.
Rafe: We've enjoyed
sitting down with you. Gabe and I would
love to take you to dinner and discuss the agenda for the holiday season. We can give you an exclusive, if you're
interested. *Sharing thoughts with Gabe
about how they needed to get her alone so they could discover who was leaking
information about a Supernatural unrest in their community*
Gabe: Absolutely, we
won't take no for an answer. *Calming
her mind, and encouraging her to agree, knowing they need to get the human out
of the room before they can make her talk*
Rhett: Thank you for
having me. I have a plane to catch, but
it's been an enjoyable experience getting to meet the rest of the Tears group.
Gabe: I'll get in
touch with you next week on the dungeon gathering, Rhett. I'm interested in seeing the differences in
our techniques.
Rhett: That sounds
great, I will tell Leah you're coming.
*Standing up and watching the other two men stand as well. Offering a hand, they all shake. With a nod at the reporter he leaves the
room.*
TOC: *Feeling a
little uncomfortable for a brief second, trying to gather my thoughts* So
dinner?
Gabe: *Taking over
her mind completely and walking toward her with predatory slowness* Yes, I'm famished.
