*Bret smiles as he starts to see many of the familiar faces that he's had the pleasure of meeting, letting out a bit of a laugh as he watches Daniel and Veris have a bit of a fight...He takes pride in the fact of watching Vixen showing off Licentia to everyone, hoping that more will come to be at this place...He takes a moment as he notices an older gentlemen come in through the doors* Bret: Jim?...You actually made it...Come on over.. *As Bret makes his way to him, Feya and Evyn sit quietly at the bar, one holding a drink the other a plate of food* Feya: You know.. *munch munch*..I'm surprised at all the people here so far..Hey!...Maybe you'll finally meet a man sis... *Evyn glares at her a moment before taking another sip of wine* Feya: Or maaaaaybe not....

Catalina looks down at the bundle in Vixen's arms and smiles. "Things have been great Vixen, Rick even proposed." she blushes and shows Vixen a diamond ring. We've gone down to Omega-15 a few times too." She stops at Jeremy walks up and starts talking to Vixen.
"Yes...didn't that end with my AI completely botching a shot and having Jack Crow get mad at me?" Jeremy grinned. "The days that were simpler..." Jeremy paused. He looked at the bundle too. "Whats her name?"
Vixen's smile grew a little as her girl was mentioned. "Licentia. A choice I made a while ago...and yes. A botched shot, a trip to Kansas..." She shrugs. "Lot of stuff happened."
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.
Evangeline strolls down one of the many unremarkable hallways of Freeport One, searching for the reason she'd brought herself and her family to the isolated facility. She had bothered to wear something nice for the occasion and had even gone to the effort of not carrying a firearm on her person. She directed her exploration to the bar of the station and upon entering it was immediately greeted by all the familiar faces she'd been expecting to see beside an assortment of apparent strangers - or were they people she'd forgotten about?
She mumbled to herself, her voice legible only to someone within a very short distance.
Who have we got...
Her eyes scan around the room, some people aware of her presence, others not. She picks up a familiar and fond target - Vixen Meeya - with an infant in her arms, seemingly talking to a man who _wasn't_ her husband.
Hmm...
Continuing her scan she does eventually find Vixen's lesser half - shamelessly flirting with a pair of girls who appear to be very much identical at the bar.
How can she let him get away with that right in front of her...
Continued observation uncovers a few more unidentified people whom Evangeline disregards as "friends of friends".
Evangeline deftly wanders over to Vixen, quickly becoming aware she had escaped her target's attention. With the deftness and silence of a true cat burglar she sneaks up behind the unsuspecting woman and gives her tail a gentle yank, much to the astonished disbelief of the man in front of her - who would have borne witness to the entire thing.
Vixen jumps suddenly, her tail flicking out of Eva's grip within an instant. The very feeling, despite how gentle, was enough to cause her heart to skip a beat. She spun around deftly, glaring at the blonde-haired demoness beaming at her triumph. "Eva!" she manages to stammer, before calming down. She gave her a slight smile. "Eva...Heh, I didn't think you were coming! How are you?" She took a little step back, so she could keep Eva, Catalina and Jeremy on one side- her back now to the bar, the little event leaving her slightly wary.
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.
I'm alive, mostly, and that's what matters. I was a bit later than expected thanks to some unintended near death experiences.
Evangeline smiles with her trademark, ever-so-slightly deviant visage as she settles herself beside Vixen and those surrounding her.
But! I'm here now. And besides the almost dying and the bounty hunters and the Navy and the Junkers and the Xenos who we stole jobs from? and the Corsairs out here who seem to want us for dinner we're all doing rather well.
Evangeline leans in and furtively borrows Vixen's ear and whispers something private.
....Are you really okay leaving him alone with other girls like that? Could smack some sense into him if you liiiiiiike~. He should be paying more attention to his sweetheart, after all.
Evangeline points to Bret and his two "companions".
Jeremy shook his head. "Shoulda known Eva McDowell would do that." Jeremy crossed his arms. "What is this, a secret get together of all who met at Rochestor in the past?" Jeremy looked at Licentia. "She's beautiful." And a sigh. "Kansas...not my fondest memories, to be honest..."
At that moment a red-haired girl bounced up. Jeremy pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her. "And this is my little sister Rika. The brainiac of the family. No joke."
Vixen grins, her smile almost matching Eva's, and she gave the evil mastermind a slight swat on the arm. "Oh...give him a break, they're his sisters...though...he never did say if it was biological..." She trailed off, torn between the possible options...until she finally shook her head. "Nah, well give him a chance to...redeem himself...first." She grinned slightly, looking over at the twins. "Then i'll let you have your fun."
She smiled at Jeremy, nodding slightly. "Thank you...she is, isn't she? Thought she can be a devil. I blame her." She nodded towards Eva slightly. "I'll figure out why later..." Taking a slight look at Rika, she chuckles. "Well, It seems i'm not the only one with an expansive family, hm?"
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.
Jeremy laughed. "My brother is in Bering, my twin sister only God knows where. My mom...somewhere in Liberty." Jeremy ruffled Rika's hair. "But this little princess likes to come to all parties. Can't say no when she gives Bambi eyes."
