Event 1 - New Friends for the Holidays

[enlightenedfeline]

[The Cat appears on the bookmark screens, black fur looking slightly mussed and one ear cocked at an odd angle as if he's listening to something out of the bookmark range. He lets out a humph and a trill before focusing on the patrons that he's broadcasting to. If some of the patrons listen carefully, they will hear the sound of barking and the occasional 'meow'.]

Good day, everyone. While the portal was open to London, the Librarians received a request from some beings who were looking for a new home. Some of them are canines and felines that are similar to the creatures on most worlds. Others are more... unique. All wish to find companionship here and have asked if our patrons would take them in and befriend them. The Library will find ways to accommodate these creatures needs so there will be no concerns regarding the items required to care for them. If you would like to visit with our new guests, you may find them at the main reception hall.

[When the Cat finishes speaking, a grey Persian cat nudges him so that he can look at the screen as well.]

There is also a feline here that says his name is Church. He says his human is Jem Carstairs but he will settle for Isabelle or Alec Lightwood, or the 'Herondale boy'.

[The Cat looks at Church, canting his head toward the other feline.]

He does have a name you know and there are other Herondales that could be here.

[Church looks unimpressed in the way only cats seem to be able to master.]

Jace Lightwood-Herondale. I would appreciate one of those individuals collecting Church so he might settle in.

The other creatures are eager to join the Library community. Please come by and offer a new home to our guests.


((ooc: Players can post here to talk to the Cat about the new pets or use this post for discussions of the pets with other players. Another post will be made in the log community for those who prefer prose based rp.))

As soon as he could enter the room, Alec stepped inside and closed the door. When he was sure it was locked, he turned back to Sebastian, heart giving an odd lurch when he saw his boyfriend holding his cat. Again he was reminded of home even though Sebastian wasn't from his reality.

Sebastian was a part of what Alec thought of as 'home' just as much as Magnus and the Chairman.

And he had hurt one of the people who made him feel truly comfortable with himself.

Alec struggled for the right words for a moment, and then realized there weren't any. Instead, he stepped closer, leaning down to press his lips against Sebastian's. It wasn't quite romantic but it was the best apology he could think of. One that would prove to Sebastian that he really was here and safe and not planning on leaving him.

Chairman Meow wiggled out of Sebastian's arms and he had no idea where the cat had gone, but he couldn't really be bothered by it. The moment Alec kissed him his thoughts scattered a bit. It was better than words or promises. He knew some things happened unexpectedly and out of their control so promises and words wouldn't soothe the jolt of fear and panic he'd felt.

But the kiss was reassuring and so was Alec being there despite the guilt he felt for making him worry. He snagged Alec's shirt and pulled him closer, returning the reassurance with a more firm press of his lips while clinging to him at the same time.

The Chairman was familiar enough with Alec to know that if he was kissing someone, it was time for the cat to go find somewhere else to play. He would have laughed at the Chairman's reaction but he was too focused on Sebastian to really think what happened.

Making a surprised sound, he was grateful that the Chairman was out of the way when Sebastian grabbed him. "'m here," he whispered before returning the kiss. Holding Sebastian close, he tried to reassure him as much as he could, deepening the kiss, trying to get as much contact as possible so his boyfriend knew that he was real and they were both safe. When he finally had to pull away to catch his breath, he buried his face against Sebastian's neck. "Don't apologize when I was the one who was stupid."
