[The video feed flicks on, revealing a somewhat tense looking young man. He's blonde, with snowy pale skin and purplish shadows under his dark eyes. If you're a possessor of heightened eyesight, you may notice that his neck and jawline is heavily ravaged by crescent shaped scars, disappearing into the v of his shirt.

He's sitting in what appears to be some sort of holding cell.]

My name is Jasper Hale. [His voice is clipped, with the barest hint of a Southern accent to it.] And firstly... I'd like to apologize if I had harmed anyone at my arrival. I acted on instinct, and that clearly wasn't the correct choice.

[His tone is wry, perhaps even bitter. He's silent for a few moments.]

I hear vampires aren't quite a secret around here, and I just can't help but wonder how well that's working out for everyone.

((ooc: Okay. So at Jasper's initial arrival he was a bit of a sour grape and tried to attack some people. Long story short he got voided and is currently chilling in jail.))

[She'd seen him the very second he touched down in the baseball feild. It wasn't even a very remarkable vision, just the two of them walking down the street, arm-in-arm. It was more than she'd seen of him in nine months.

She broke about two chairs, her dining room table, and the front door rushing out at full speed to get to him. Unfortunately she was only halfway there before she saw the cops would get to him first.

Dammitdammitammitdammit why now!? He's here, finally, but the stupid police had to take him and she is not standing for this.

Now, at the police station, she's pulling out all the stops to get her husband out of jail. Yelling, pleading, waving her citizenship proof around, anything. Considering the city's attitude towards newcomers, though, she's not getting too far.

During a lull in the fight, while the police go to "sort through paperwork" for Jasper, Alice decides to go through the network to pass the time. She nearly screams when she sees he's posted.]

Sweetheart? I'm here. I'm trying to get you out.

[empathetics]

[He hadn't even bothered to take the time to figure out the network, too focused on the fact that his abilities had somehow been rendered useless, so when she appears everything seems to come to a halt.

Alice. His Alice.

Jasper had been so worried he'd never get to see her again, that he'd be trapped on his own once more.

If he had still had his strength with him, he probably would have broken his phone with how tightly he gripped it.]

Alice.

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

Hey Jazzy.

[She smiles, and a little hysterical giggle escapes her lips. He's here. He's really, really here. Not some look alike or trick, but really him.]

Hopefully you'll be out soon. It depends on if the clerk is going to go have coffee with one of the officers. She's waffling on it.

[Yes, lets talk visions and normal things, pretend like she hasn't seen the love of her live for nearly a year.]

[empathetics]

[He frowns at that, tearing his gaze briefly away from the screen. The corner of his lip turns down in a sneer of self-loathing.]

I highly doubt they're climbing over themselves to let me go.

Though I can't say I'm much of a threat at the moment.

[reassures]

It seems to be working out fine.

If you aren't sure if you hurt anyone, they're-- probably fine.

video --> text

[empathetics]

Probably. That isn't exactly the most reassuring word.

[reassures]

It's better than being sure you did, isn't it?

[empathetics]

There are times when certainty is the better option.

[Raphael is smug as haaayll right now.]

Better than it is for you, clearly.

[empathetics]

[Oh he doesn't need smugness right now.]

And you're a clear advocate on the matter?

[draculalite]

I was the one in your position not long ago.

[Have a gray lady with cat eyes looking you over, jailbird. She's tapping her finger against her cheek, lips pursed with thought.]

So this is her taste in men? I really thought you'd be cuter.

[rwogkfj3rpwlef;sfdx!!!!!!]

Jinx!

[unluckyinlove]

[In a Southern accent:]

Why Alice, I do declare~

[empathetics]

[He furrows his brow.]

You know Alice?

[unluckyinlove]

Without Alice, my world would've stopped spinning.

[Can't tell if trolling or serious. B|a]

[symmachy]

Not too badly, actually.

Re: permavid.

[empathetics]

Really? That is...

[Unbelievable.]

Interesting.

[symmachy]

[smile smile. look at those pearly whites and telltale teeth.]

Isn't it just?

[Video]

[bloodthirsts]

Surprisingly well, at least it has for those of us I've known. [Er, excluding one or two cases.]

Hello, I'm Seras Victoria.

[empathetics]

Really?

I'm sorry, but I just find that unbelievable.

[bloodthirsts]

Not to worry, so did I. Sometimes it's still odd to be able to tell people outright what I am and not worry about a mob forming.

[vamping_it_up]

[Here, have a cheerful young-looking vampire with red eyes who works for your wife.]

The Sanguinarian Society is pretty helpful, I've found. They arrange for consenting donors and medical blood.

[empathetics]

[His jaw clenches somewhat.]

I don't drink from humans. Donated or not.

[vamping_it_up]

You can also make arrangements to get pig's blood from butcher shops in town if you'd prefer that.

[Layla doesn't know why anyone would - human blood tastes so much better.]
