Melody took Jade and Hannah furniture shopping with Rae and Maze as backup in case they got into it again. Tamsin and Aurora tagged along to find a 'you were right and we were wrong' gift for Mal.

Rebecca's in her room until the whole thing blows over because, and I quote, 'I don't want to get mistaken for that gank and attacked by the sex fiend over a magic pot sent here by some random grey-face'.

Lucas, Gwyn, and Angela took Jonathan to the real hot tub.

Selina... I don't know where Selina is most of the time. Probably tracking Mal so that she can steal the cauldron back from wherever Mal is trying to hide it just to prove she can.

Aubrey and Raven went out to discuss 'old times', what ever that means.

Lennox is... another one I don't know where she is 99% of the time, and that is a-okay with me.

Rae:

*shrugs* “Yes?”

Melody:

“Hold on” *gets out of her seat* “I’ll get some cookies. Girl talk always goes better with cookies.” *heads for the kitchen*

Jonathan:

*Watches Melody leave* “Should I-“ *points to himself* “Should I leave?”

Dani:

“Nah, you’re good.”

Jonathan:

“Cool.”

Lucas:

“And me?”

Rae:

“You’re good too.”

Lucas:

“Good. ‘Cause I really want cookies now.”

Rae:

*snort-laughs*

Melody:

*returns with a tray with several glasses of milk and a plate stacked with several kinds of cookies, see’s Rae smiling as she shakes her head at Lucas.* “What did I miss?”

Lucas:

*leans forward to snag a handful of cookies as Melody puts the tray down on the coffee table* “Me being my usually brilliant comical self.”

Maze:

*enters the room* “You’re definitely a joke.”

Lucas:

*around a mouthful of cookie* “Were you waiting in the hall for someone to set you up for an insult?”

Maze:

*Leans over the back of the couch to snatch one of Lucas’s cookies from his lap.* “Maybe.” *looks at the rest* “What brought on the girl talk. More importantly, who do I need to hurt?”

Rae:

“No-one.” *grabs a chocolate chip cookie as Maze climbs over the back of the other couch to sit next to Lucas.* “Just one of those days.”

Lucas:

*cries out as Maze steals another of his cookies* “Hey! You do know there’s a whole pile of cookies right there!” *points to the tray*

Maze:

*bites into her newest cookie* “They taste better when they’re from you.”

Dani:

“If you two are done flirting…” *looks at Rae as Lucas blushes and Maze smirks * “you ready to talk about it?

Rae:

*takes a small bite from her cookie, chews it for a few seconds claiming one of the glasses of milk to rinse her mouth out.* “You know how I work with a Private Eye, right?”

Dani/Melody/Jonathan:

*nods*

Lucas:

*hunches over as he leans away from Maze when she tries to steal another cookie* “I thought you were a detective.”

Rae:

*shakes her head* “No. Not yet anyway. You need to log a bunch of hours working for a licensed P.I. before you can get your own.”

Maze:

*ignores Lucas’s attempt to protect his cookies* “You should try Bounty hunting. You get to hunt Humans and you get paid for it!"

Rae:

“Yeah… Not sure how well the whole ‘werewolf’ thing would go over with ‘hunting Humans’.”

Dani:

*Shit, that’s right. I forgot you’re a Werewolf.”

Rae:

“It’s okay. I actually like it better that way. Makes the whole ’living among humans’ thing easier… except when your boss sends you to go through someone’s trash for a job and you and your super sensitive nose are up to your waist in-“ *shudders* “- stuff for an hour.”

Melody:

*leans forward and puts a hand on Rae’s arm* “Oh, you poor thing.”

Dani:

*leans over to pull Rae into a hug.* “That explains the mid-afternoon shower.”

Rae:

*puts one hand on Dani’s arm and the other on Melody’s hand* “Thanks. Especially since I probably owe at least one of you a bottle of shampoo.”

Dani:

*shakes her head as she gives Rae another quick squeeze before pulling back* “Don’t worry about it. Really, Rach makes sure we have, like, a years supply stockpiled at all times.”

Melody:

“And I’m so used to Hannah ‘borrowing’ mine that I always have an extra bottle or two hidden away.”

Jonathan:

“And you can use mine anytime you want.”

Lucas:

“Yeah, your good with me too.” *glares at Maze as she takes the half eaten cookie from his hand* “Unlike some people I could mention.”

Maze:

*smirks* “I still say you should give Bounty Hunting a try.”

Melody:

“Or spying. I could arrange for you to do some placement tests?”

Jonathan:

“Dog walker?”

Dani:

“Seriously, dude? Just because she’s a were-wolf doesn’t mean she’s good with dogs.”

Rae:

*to Dani* “It’s okay. Wouldn’t be much different from babysitting my cousins back home.” *to Jonathan* “But dogs are a bit hit or miss with the were-wolf thing, so not really an option.”

Lucas:

“You could come work for me. We can always use some extra hands and you’d get to rub shoulders with celebrities. Plus, I can almost promise you that you’ll never have to look through anyone’s garbage.”

Rae:

*chuckles* “ ‘Almost’, huh?”

Lucas:

*grins* “Sometimes a script gets mixed up with the recycling, or an earring gets misplaced, but ninety-four times out of a hundred it’s found without anyone dumpster diving.”

Rae:

“I’ll think about it, thank you. But I think if I do this I want something… bigger than being some celeb’s gopher.”

Maze:

*singing under her breath* “Boun-ty Hunt-ing.”

Rae:

*smiles, roles eyes as she shakes her head*

Jonathan:

“If you’re any good with computers, you could work with me.”

Rae:

“I can work my phone and my PVR and that’s about it. Besides, I’m not really a ‘cubicle’ kind of person. I need something that gets me outside.”

Maze:

*singing under her breath, slightly louder* “Boun-ty Hunt-ing.”

Melody:

“Maze.”

Maze:

“What? It fit’s everything she says she’s looking for. It get’s her outside, it helps get bad people off the street which helps protect the good ones which is a pretty ‘big’ job, and her were-wolf senses would make her a natural at tracking, plus she’s stronger than she looks, so she can hold her own.” *looks around the room* “Am I wrong?”

Rae:

“No, that… that actually makes sense… It’s just the whole ‘hunting’ thing. Even if it’s not real hunting, my pack—most packs—have been fighting that stereotype for, like, forever.”

Maze:

“So call it bounty collecting.”

Rae:

“I- … I’ll think about it.”

Melody:

“If you’re looking to throw over stereotypes, you could talk to Raven about being an EMT? You’d get to save people, so there’s the bigger purpose right there, and you’d be out and about, no stuck in an office.”

Rae:

“…Maybe…”

Jonathan:

“Maybe you could ask around, see if any of the others have some ideas. It’s not like you’ve got to pick right now, is it?”

Rae:

*smiles* “No, I don’t. Thanks. All of you, thanks. I feel better.”

Selina:

*slides onto the couch on Lucas’s other side* “I vote lumberjack. She’d look good in flannel.”

Lucas:

“Jesus! Where the hell did you come from?”

Selina:

“I’ve been here the whole time. Not my fault the rest of you don’t pay attention.”

Maze:

“I knew you were here.”

Rae:

“So did I.”

Lucas:

“Yeah, but you’re-“ *points to Maze* “-a demon who makes a living finding people that don’t want to be found and you-“ *points to Rae* “-are basically her twin. Plus, you know, the crazy good nose.”

Selina:

*nonchalantly takes  a cookie from Lucas* “If you ignore the fact that she’s a were-wolf and I’m…” *tilts her head to the side, arches an eyebrow as a small smile plays across her lips* “-a cat person.” *pops the cookie into her mouth*

Rae:

“She’s not wrong; we do look good in flannel.”

Selina:

“As if I’d ever be caught dead in flannel.”

Jonathan:

“What’s wrong with flannel?”

“Dani:

“Nothing.”

Lucas:

*under his breath* “speaking of stereotypes…”

Dani:

“What was that?”

Lucas:

“… nothing.”

Dani:

*gives Lucas a pointed stare* “Mmhmm. That’s what I thought.” *flashes him a quick grin.* “Especially since I remember you having a closet full of flannel, yourself. At least you seem to be wearing a new one every time you head off to your work-shop.”

Jonathan:

*turns excitedly to Rae* “Oooh, woodworking!” *shoulders slump* “But that’s not really a ‘big’ thing, and not outdoors either. Sorry.”

Rae:

“Don’t be. I think we pretty much agreed that we’re at the ‘throw everything at the wall and see what sticks’ phase of finding me a new career.”

Lucas:

*turns to Rae while avoiding eye contact with Dani* “If you ever want to drop by my workshop, I’d be happy to show you the ropes.”

Maze:

“I bet you would.”

Lucas:

*turns back to Maze in time to see her flash him a salacious grin* “Wh- not those ropes.”  *turns to Rae* “…Unless…”

Dani:

“Dude!”

Rae:

*laughs* “No, it’s cool. I mean, the answer is no—at least to those ropes, no offence—but I might take you up on the the tour part.”

Lucas:

“None taken.”

Dani:

*shaking her head* “Bunch of horn-dogs…”

Jonathan:

“In his defence, you’re dating, like, three of the worst of them.”

Dani:

“Hey, it’s only two. Quinn’s a mid-level horn-dog at worst.”

Jonathan:

*Nods.*

Melody:

“Do you think we’ll ever had one of these conversations that doesn’t end up about sex?

Selina:

*counting them off on her fingers* “Horny spy, horny accountant, horny agent, horny diva that pretends she isn’t, horny other Diva that doesn’t even try to hide it, horny artist who barely hides it, all under one roof with a bunch of other young, hot, fit room-mates who are only comparatively less horny with very few exceptions-“ *shakes head* “-odds aren’t looking good.”

Melody:

“Did you have to say ‘horny’ so many times?”

Selina:

“No.”

Melody:

“… Okay.”

Rae:

“And with that, I’m off to take another shower. Y’all might not be able to smell dumpster, but I still can, so see you in a few.” *stands and heads for the doorway*

Dani:

“BBQ for dinner?”

Rae:

*turns back, a wide grin on her face* “Yes please!”

Dani:

“Consider it done.”

Rae:

“You’re the best!”

Melody:

“I’ll get started on the biscuits and gravy.” *stands and heads for the kitchen*

Jonathan:

“I’ll help.” *follows Melody*

Maze:

“Dibs on the grill. You guys always overcook the meat.” *heads for the veranda*

Dani:

“And I’ll go make sure Rach has something to eat… and that we all don’t die from trichinosis” *heads for the kitchen*

Lucas:

*looks at Selina* “So-“

Selina:

“No.”

Lucas:

“I was going to ask if you knew where everyone else was.

Selina:

“Yes.” *stands and leaves*

Lucas:

Quinn: You're so cute when you try to be tough.

Rachel: What do you mean, 'try to be'? I can be tough when I want.

Santana: Of course you can, Rach. You can be anything you want to be.

Rachel: Why do I feel like you're mocking me?

Dani: Because they are. But I believe in you.

Rachel: Thank you, Dani. *looking pointedly at Santana and Quinn as she pulls Dani into a hug* This is why you're my favourite.

Dani: Dani for the win!

Quinn: Still cute.

Santana: She's like a puppy trying to stare down a mountain lion.

Quinn: Which one of us is the mountain lion in this scenario?

Santana: Me, obviously.

Quinn: And I'm...?

Santana: My bi-

Dani: Quinntana Rights!

Rachel: Quinntana Rights!

Quinn: *looks at San, raises eyebrow*

Santana: *smirks, looks at Quinn*

Quinn: *grabs Rachel*

Santana: *grabs Dani*

Dani/Rachel: *squeal as they're pulled into hugs*

Rachel: Or the night before that.

Quinn: And your hands are on my ass right now

Santana: Just making sure I was remembering it correctly.

Rachel: Then why are they still there.

Santana: ... to hide Quinn’s lack of booty?

Quinn: Fuck off.

Dani: Or better yet, Fuck u-

Rachel: Dani

Dani: What?

Rachel: Save that for the bedroom.

Santana: You heard her. *smacks Quinn’s butt, then runs for their room*

Quinn: You are so getting it, Lopez! *chases after Santana*

Dani: Hopefully she won’t be the only one.

Rachel: *whispers into Dani’s ear* I can guarantee it. *slaps Dani’s butt, then walks backwards towards their bedroom, grinning at Dani*

Dani: *grins back* Dibs on Quinn! *runs past Rachel

“It’s the middle of winter; the only bathing I’m doing is in a hot, steamy bubble-bath.”

“But if you’re asking if I’ve ever sunbathed wearing nothing but my birthday suit... That’s more of a second date story, and you haven’t even asked me out on a first date yet.”
