Orpheus was rather happy, to the point that he was almost whistling. He was getting rid of his monsters for a few hours, they were going out to do the dinner and a movie thing with some of their friends. While this meant that he probably should get caught up on paperwork, plan out more classes, and various other things that needed done he was pretty sure he was going to just go home and crash. A nap would do him wonders! He would see about doing work after that.
They were all in the car, Ligeia sat in the front seat with his wings wrapped around himself so that he could sit back and not be sitting on them. Orpheus looked over at him for a moment had an instant where he wondered if he should worry about the fact that Geia was going on a date looking a cute girl... then shook his head. No, no... as much as Ligeia may look like a daughter he wasn't he was a son and he could take care of himself. If not there was always Ter there to keep an eye on him. Orpheus looked in the rear view mirror for a moment at the snake who was coiled up in the backseat, he was sprawled out for the moment but had said he would draw his coils in tighter once they got where they were going. After all he couldn't take up the whole backseat if they were going to be getting two other people.
Where Ligeia was dressed nicely in a tank top with a star design on it and a skirt that had shorts under it, never mattered what the weather was like he always wore similar things Ter was dressed down as far as one could be. As in the only thing he was wearing being his many piercings, Orpheus counted them... he was certain that more of them were appearing but he couldn't be certain of that. The one in his lip though was definately new since the last time he had counted, "I gave Ligeia a cellphone." He told Ter, "I want for you to call me if anything happens or when its time to get picked up, he also has some money and I will give you some as well Terpsichore so long as you promise to keep an eye on your brother."
Ter lifted his head to look over at Ligeia for a long moment before nodding his head, "Ok." He murmured, he figured that someone was going to have to keep an eye on him since the owl didn't look like he would be able to save himself... he then looked over at his father and held out a hand.
Orpheus laughed, "Once we stop I will pay you off." He assured the snake boy.
Ligeia looked back at Ter then to his father, "I don't need looked after." He said, sounding a bit indignant. He was after all a lot older then Ter so why was it that he was the one that was needing looked after? It was so unfair... If anyone really messed with them then he would just have to freeze them wouldn't he! His ear tufts gave a twitch before he looked out his window, "Are we almost there?"
"Yeah, just a little bit farther." Orpheus said looking at the address that was that of Miss Jayoku, Chath, and Zyanya. Not to long now.
*****
Orpheus headed up to the door his two kids following along after him. Ter was only interested in the idea because his friend was going to be there, everyone was pretty sure he would have told Ligeia to go on his own were it anyone else. Z though... he was willing to put up with his brother for a while to hang out with her. He was pretty sure that he could enjoy himself even with his presence after all Ligeia would have a friend of his own to hang out with and he would only have to deal with him to a certain extent.
The redhead gave them a look, "Look like you like one another?" He asked before knocking.

From Zyanya's room loud music with a heavy bass played as she rocked out while getting ready. At first she had been skeptic when her brother had made the suggestion, but hey it got her out of her grounding earlier and she would get to hang out with Ter to.
Her door was open, she watched idly as her 'new brother' Aurora hesitated in front of her doorway and then continued on his way. That guy was strange, he hadn't spoken a word to her since he had come, but then again she prefered it that way.
Facing the mirror again, she with a shakey hand attempted to put on her eye shadow. It was a dark grey, not black exactly but more like ash, using a finger to smear it into her skin, her thumb came away stained with eye makeup powder. Frowning she absent mindedly wiped the mess onto her skirt.
Her mom had helped her striaghten her hair, and now that it was straight and not tied up it looked fairly lengthy, she had taken out her scorpian studs and replaced them with silver hoops and had painted her nails black. This would be her first time seeing Ter since her being grounded, and she had a growth spurt. she had gotten taller, and was starting to 'bud' She looked at her chest proudly in the mirror. ok so they were small...but HEY her mom had been right. She just needed to wait.
Chath strolled past Zyan's room wincing as the person singing wailed into the air. God what did she see in that kind of music? itching his nose he watched her breifly beofre giving a soft laugh and trudging back to his own room. Glancing breifly at the spare cot that had recently been added an then moved to change his own clothes.
He still didn't like most clothes, but the fish net shirt still worked, he decided though he better wear some pants. May get cold in the theater and he wouldn't want to fall asleep during the movie..well which ever one they ended up seeing.
FOr him it didn't take long to get ready, pants, black..check. shirt...check. Wallet. Check. He had explained to Kier that he would have to stay here. And he was by no means allowed to terrorize Aurora. THe new blonde boy, who came out of no where apparantly was some sort of step brother...and was terrified of Kier.
Shaking his head he ran his fingers through his mess of hair before moving out and past Zyan's door again. Hopefully they would be here soon...
Jayoku looked unimpressed by how loud the music was, Zyan had claimed she found it meditative...but she just found it plain loud. And though she knew the children were going out to a movie and that Orpheus was taking them she unconciously had primped herself up to look nicer. Fluffed up her curls, applied another layer of lips gloss, and even went as far to change her shirt into something more...appealing.
She scratched her arm, wondering why exactly she was doing this. Right..cause the red headed teacher was cute. A small smile slid across her lips as she adjusted her glasses and then went to put her stuff away and tell Zyan to turn her music down.

Orpheus starred at the door for a moment, then tilted his head. They did have the right house... right? He dug into his pocket to get out the paper to read the address number and checked it against that on the place. Yeah, it looked right. So he tried knocking again.
Ter flicked his tongue out over the piercing in his lip before sitting back on his coils watching the door, he really hoped that Z was here he had been forced to agree to the terms at hand just to see her. If she wasn't... surely his father wouldn't make him and Geia go to the movies and out for food anyway so that he could get his relaxing evening right? No, no he wouldn't... right? Augh... Z please be home he thought to himself the end of his tail flicking back and forth in an agitated sort of way.
While he was worrying Ligeia was just smiling happily, he had no worries since he had called ahead to confirm things with Chath to make sure that his 'Super Sibling Movie Outing' plan was a go. His wings gave a flutter as did his wing tufts, he was so excited to be doing this even if Ter was a bit standoffish at the moment.

Zyan picked up a silver ring that was sitting on her dresser and then went to sit on her bed, she moved to look at the silver serpent in the light and smiled inwardly. She certainly hoped that Ter liked the ring. It even matched her bracelet by having green stone eyes. She rolled it in between her fingers before she heard her mother call out to have her turn down the music. With a pout she finally went ahead and did just that. Ter must of arrived!
Jayoku looked slightly miffed at the stairs leading towards Zyan's room and then gave her hair a slight puffing up and then went to answer the door. She thought she had heard the door earlier. But the music had drowned out the knock. She hurried over to open the door for real this time.
"Sorry sorry, didn't hear you knocking." she said with an apology and a smile as she swung the door inwards. "Come in come in. Zyan is almost ready and Chath should be right down." she continued just as the red skinned boy hopped the last two steps and gave a wave to Ligeia and Ter.
Chath having heard his mother answer the door came rushing down the steps and jumped the last two before landing and waving in hello. It was odd to see the boy wearing pants, black ones as well. He still adorned his fish net top but was wearing his bandages around his hands as well. Must of been practicing with Kier earlier.
"Hey guys!" he said not really thinking much about his words and gave a wide smile as he approached. Ligeia looked extra cute tonight, and Ter...well as cool as the snake boy was he looked like Ter. Though...he had more peircings that he recalled...
Zyanya hearing her mom apologize stood up and nearly dropped the ring in her hand, she caught it neatly and then slipped it into her pocket. She didn't want to give it to Ter while the others were all around...besides her mom would want to know where she got the ring since she had been grounded all this time.
"Coming!" she called out as she gave herself a final look over in the mirror.

Orpheus gave a smile, "Its no problem at all." He said, not wanting for her to worry about it. After all she had answered the door before they had thoguht nobody was home nad left right? Orpheus was a man that really wasn't bothered by a whole lot, most things rolled right off his back like water off the back of a duck, "It is nice to see you again, maybe while the kids are getting ready we can discuss that tea you were talking about?" He hadn't forgotten about that just had been swamped with work.
Ligeia smiled brightly upon seeing Chath, "Hello again! How have you been? And how is Kier?" He asked, he looked down at the bandages on his friends hands and looked a bit worried over that. He took a step closer to him to get a better look, "Are you alright? Oh! And how are your feet doing?" He asked, recalling how he had hurt them the last time they had been together.
Ter gave a glance Chath's way, flicked out his tongue before giving him a nod. He had nothing against the guy but there in lay a problem. He was a guy, Ter much preferred to lavish all his attention onto girls since they were far more interesting. And speaking of girls... he heard the voice of no doubt his most favorite girlfriend... friend that was a girl, however that would be described. He turned in that direction and gave a smiled that showed fangs. Yay! Z time!

Jayoku gave a small giggle and was pleased Orpheus hadn't forgotten about her "tea" invite. Bobbing her head, her curls bounced against her skin as she let the three come into the house. Closing the door, since she knew Zyan may take a bit longer to 'finish' getting ready.
"Oh yes, I imagine you must be very busy with work." she noted thinking of her own pile of work she had....been avoiding most the evening. "Well all need a break from time to time, when do you think you may have a slot available for some rest and relaxation?" she inquired heopful it would be soon.
Chath gave a laugh, he was a bit emabressed to be doted over, the only one who ever did that was his mother. "Yah Kier and i were practicing, things got a bit rough but my hands should be fine in no time. Probably once the movie is over in fact." he explained not wanting Ligeia to worry herself over him. They raelly weren't a big deal to him. Feet? Oh RIGHT. He almost forgot about that incident.
"No worries, you will learn that I recover from things like that pretty quickly." he continued with another laugh, there was something about Chath that seemed to just seep positive energy. "Kier is fine, he won't be coming with us tonight, don't think a movie theater would be the best of places for him to go." he continued, which was a good thing. He could only imagine Kier sneaking around trying to frighten poor movie goers.
Z's hand was in her pocket as she came down, looking rather punked out and a wide smile spread across her face as she spotted Ter. "your here!" she said with an excited glee which totally contrasted with her look, she hoped the last few steps her legs splaying out to catch her balance whilst she rushed forward.
Ah she so wanted to give Ter the ring now! But ...she glanced at her mother who was talking it up with Ter's dad, and Ligeia seemed to be busy with Chath... maybe...she could? She reached into her pocket her fingers touching the metal ring only to stop as she noticed her mom watching her.
"So...do you know what movie we are going to see?" she asked Ter as she was only glad Ter was actually here.

"Very busy but I quite enjoy my job. Its interesting for sure and keeps me on my feet definately." He said, grinning a bit. And he could always make a class more interest by the way he had the kids learning their skills. As it was he had opened up for class slots so his free time was going to be a little strained but... at the same time he had already agreed and was looking forward to it, "I will see about when we can do that."
Ligeia nodded, "That is good to hear, I hope that they don't hurt you to much." It would be a shame if he were hurting since then he may not enjoy the outing as much, then again he seemed as if he were fine so maybe he was just worrying overly? To much time babysitting. Chath was a lot older then his charges so he should relax, "So are we wanting to eat first or movie first?" Either was an option and either would be fine by him.
Ter tilted his head as he looked over at Z, had she had a growth spurt since the last time he had seen her? She seemed taller. Or was he slouching? He slithered over to meet her half way, "Of course I'm here, told would see Z." He said, "Otherwise..." He made a motion with his hand as if to say were it not for her presence he would be elsewhere, he was excited to see her again one could tell by the look on his face.
"Don't know, he said something about plan?" He said, glancing over at Ligeia who was chating with Chath. He had no idea what the plan was but... maybe they could sit without those two in the theater if they were lucky?

Jayoku thought that Orpheus may be very busy. "Well how about I schedule another skills class for Zyanya and we can have tea afterwards?" She inquired hoping that this may work out better for th red head. She really wanted to know what made this guy tick.
Chath gave a glance to Ter, He? He must of misheard, they were talking to each other and not them. "How about a movie first? We can always pitch in for some popcorn to tie us over while we watche the movie..." he then stopped and looked to Ter and Zyan.
"hey you two which movies would you be interested in seeing?"
Zyan gave a faint blush and replaced her pleased smile with a smirk as Ter demonstrated he was only here because she was. She really liked a guy who could pump her ego up. With a cough she looked to her brother breifly and then looked back to Ter.
"300 is out." she stated bluntly in response to her brothers question. She picked out that movie cause she thought ter would probably enjoy it.

"That sounds great." He said, nodding his head. After each skills class was given a good amount of time since he wasn't sure how long it was going to take. If it went quickly they had free time after if it ran long there was plenty of time schedule. Thusly there was plenty of time to have a break for tea afterwards. Though... hopefully Z's next class would be a little cleaner then the last one? The thought made him grin a little.
"That sounds like a plan." Ligeia said, smiling some as he turned to look at the others two. They were standing off to the side and for some reason Ligeia felt as if that was going to be the theme for the night the four of them broken off into pairs. Chath and himself would have to try hard to get the younger two into conversation with them wouldn't they?
"300." Ter murmured then gave a bright, fanged smile, "Yes! Would be great!" He would love to see a movie that consisted of three hundred guys kicking a whole lot of Persian a**.

Jayoku beamed loving how he was so cute and thought for a moment...that he reminded her of someone she knew. She couldn't put her finger on it now... but her head perked up as she heard the movie '300' mentioned.
"Sorry kido's that movie is rated R, you guys are too young to see that without parent supervision." she tisked knowing full well that she was dashing the hopeful look on Ter's face.
Chath jerked his shoulder backwards to look at his mother. Rated R? Ah then they couldn't see it. Well maybe Ligeia could pass for 19 and over but he and the rest of the crew would be able to make it.
Rubbing the back of his neck he tried to think of a different movie that was out. "uh...any other suggestions?" he inquired as he dew a blank. He wasn't really into the movie scene.
Zyan could only cast hatred towards her mother. How dare she bring up that tiny little fact. She was sure they could of snuck in. Folding her arms across her chest, she took a step towards Ter and rolled her eyes at him as if 'can you believe i have to deal with this?' could be seen written in her posture.
"So are you suggesting you will come with us?" She asked sarcastically.

Ter blinked, looking over at Jayoku with narrowed eyes. What did that mean? 'Kiddo'? He wasn't just a little kid! He was... He opened his mouth as if to tell the woman off when Orpheus took a step forward and put a hand over his mouth, "She's right, best that you guys go and watch a movie that is more within your age limit." He said, forstalling any sort of argument that could start up as that would mean the kids may not get on their way and he wouldn't get his nap.
The snake flared up a little before flopping back to sit on his coils, women... what was it with them? No fun at all. The only good ones were the D-corp ones. Ahh... maybe the normal fully human women were flawed or something? That would make sense.
"I am sure we can find something that everyone will like." Ligeia said, a hopeful thought, "We should head to the theater and see whats playing first though, that way we can decide more easily." He seemed of the same mind as his father when it came to trying to keep the peace.
Ter glared at his brother for a moment before his eyes widened and he nodded, "Yeah, yeah... fine. Pick when get there." He said, snorting. He masked well the fact that the gears in his head were already turning...

Jayoku sighed and then backed a bit away from the doorway. "Well you guys better be off if you want to get there in reasonable time." she said with a small laugh, she looked to Orpheus her smile more genuine to him. "Should you call or I to arrange Zyanya's new skills class?" she asked wondering which would be better.
Chath sighed in relief at least that went over smoothly. "Yah we best be going or all the movies will be over before we even get there." He saighed with a laugh, thankful for Ligeia's quick thinking.
Zyan looked to Ter, reading his anger at her mothers words and then noticed his sudden change in attitude. Ah he must of come up with some sort of plan. So she went along. "Yah lets get this over with already." she said crossing her arms over he chest.

"Either one is good by me, I think that it would be best for me to call you since... well since I will know when I am around and not busy." He said, giving a laugh then looked over to the four that were not in his charge, "Alright, everyone to the car and we will be on our way." He said, using his teachers voice to get them to move more quickly to the destination of the car... not that Ter looked all that impressed by the voice.
Ligeia looked over at Chath and Zyanya, "Do either of you two want the front seat?" He asked, Ter could sit there too but it was easier for him to sit in the back since there was more leg... erm... coil room on the floor.
Ter hoped that Z wouldn't take the front seat so that she could sit with him but wasn't about to influence her decision either way. Instead he started towards the car. It wasn't a bad one, a bit of an older model though from the looks of it and the paint looked... odd as if it had been repainted several times before for some reason. Here and there it was chip showing a rainbow of colors underneath.

Jayoku nodded her head, that sounded like a plan, though she knew she would die waiting for him to call. She was silly that way. She gave them a waev as they exited the house and said goodbye before shutting the door.
Chath looked to Ligeia and offered a reassuring smile, okay so maybe the first part of the plan hadn't gone as smoothly as he had hoped but hey there was still the rest of the plan to go through.
"Whatever works best for you guys." he commented as the question not really caring if he sat in front or back.
Zyanya had no intenetions to be stuck sitting with her brother and Ligeia and thus moved to walk beside Ter, not even sure if there was enough room to sit with him, but not wanting to give the idea she was going to sit with the other two morons.
"I want to sit with Ter." she proclaimed poseessively, though she wasn't clinging to him she might as well have been.

Ligeia looked over at Chath for a moment, thoughtfully then back to the other two. They didn't seem as if they were ready to be split up so definately those two would be in the back seat, "It may be easiest for me to take the front seat to keep my wings out of everyone's way, I don't want to take it though if you would rather sit there Chath." He said, offering it to him one last time before they reached the car.
Orpheus opened to door to the back seat and Ter slithered in first, sitting to the side behind the passenger's seat and drew all of his coils in after himself to arrange them so that they would take up the least amount of room. Best he sit behind whoever would be on this side as they would be smaller then his father and the seat would be pulled forward which would give him that much more room. He then patted the seat next to him, the middle seat for Z to sit there, then whoever else was sitting in the back got the seat behind Orpheus, less leg room but not totally squishy.
