Nestor: You pull up in time to see a young man on the front lawn of Mama B's house appearing to cautiously touch a rather large, and black dog. As he does, shadows begin to dance across his body like ribbons.
Protheuz: You open the front door and see a young man standing next to one of your shadow hounds; oddly, shadows dance across his body.
Mama B shoves her way through the crowd at the door, broom in her pudgy hands. "Shoo doggy! Shoo! Danged old mutts running around like they own the place," she shouts as she charges down the stairs, intending to drive the intruding dog away from her guest (and out of her flower bed).

The young man withdraws his hand, staring at it's new shadowy form before pushing the ability away. More composed he turns to the open door, "Sorry about that, guess I just reacted."
The guy gives a charming smile, "I'm Jason, you can... uh... do stuff like me?" Or rather, I can do stuff like you... he thinks to himself.

Javier slows to a stop, staring.
The others notice him now: a medium-height Hispanic man, late 20's perhaps, wearing an untucked shirt over a white T-shirt, with khaki pants and high-tops. Visible where the shirt sleeves leave off are tattoos winding down his arms, twin snake-like reptiles with the heads resting on the back of his hands.
His head swivels as he stares at the dog, the boy, and the broom-wielding woman.
"What da f**k is going on?" he asks angrily.

Boost: A women's thick, dark fingers grab your arm and pulls you behind her wide girth as her other hand brings a broom down in a violent swat at the shadow hound.
"Get outa here, shoo! Shoo!" Mama B yells, pointlessly whacking the black hound with the softer end of the broom. It gives a rather undog-like hiss before it turns and slinks off into the shadows on the side of the house.
"I'm sorry honey, I don't know what that's all about. You ok? Did he bite you? Come in, come in!" Mama B fusses over Jason, herding him and everyone else into the house like an old mother hen. She indicates everyone has arrived and begins to hurry about the kitchen, getting a feast of corn bread and chili ready for the evening's meal.
Saker: She spots you reaching for another handful of cookies, responding with a playful swat to your hand (actually kinda stings) before going about setting the table for dinner.
[Feel free to rp among yourselves; I'll respond to any direct questions to Mama B but won't move things forward for a day or two.]

"So..." Jason starts when he sits on the couch, "I'm not sure what I'm doing here, I guess just trying to figure this out." He looks at everyone gathered around, "I guess I'm rather lucky though, I don't often have to deal with the bigotry shown to 'Nova's' or whatever..." Finally unable to keep his curiosity at bay, "Um, what do you guys do?"

The Latino walks warily into the room, examining the surroundings and the inhabitants with a level gaze.
He nods to the group in general and issues a curt greeting, "S'up?"
At Jason's question, he gives the youth an incredulous look, "What's dis, some sort of support group? Wat'cha want to hear, kid? Our 'origin stories'?" He hooks his fingers into quote marks mockingly.

Javier grins, crossing his arms.
"No, chulo," he replies cheerfully. "I'm a *. You're the *. Pretty much defines what our relationship's gonna be like if you wanna throw down wi' me.
"Why don' we just start wid names and see where that goes, huh? I'm Javier Esposito. My friends call me Javi." He pronounces his name with a soft 'J'.
He gives the rest of the group a dubious look. "Not that I'm saying any o' you are friends of me yet."

Cursed time zone! I missed the show!
//Well the testosterone's aroma covers almost the cookies one...Too much badass around...//Harrison thinks looking on all sides.
//At least that one seems not too uptight// he thinks looking at Jason.
"Javi, you hurt my feelings" he says with a smile.
"We are all on the same boat you know? You can chill out and enjoy the feast" He pauses ,grab another cookie and bite it.
"Exquisite Mama B. I'd eat them until my belly pops open"
(Yeah I love to make himself a sitting duck with that kind of line )
At last he asks
"Anyway. What the * happened out there? Where did that cute little doggy come from ?'
"I'm Harrison by the way" he offers an handshake to Jason. (We probably share the same couch)

After finishing his second handful of cookies, Fenris nods in the direction of the two newcomers, "Jason, Javier, you can call me Fenris."
Switching his gaze to the kitchen, Fenris calls out, "Mama B, how can I help you with supper?" He pauses for an answer then continues to ask Mama B, "You never did say if the shadow hounds were your pets or not? They looked more dangerous than they acted, so they must be allies."

Nycto exales visibly at the exchange between Javi and Jason thinking Kids....
He then introduces himself at the new "I'm Nycto." as he seats in one of the couches.
At the question about the hounds he speaks steadily "They're mine. I called then to watch over us, and howl if trouble aproached the house."
"He did aproach..." pointing at Fenris, and giving a small smile.
"There are others out there guarding us, this moment. In the agitation regarding Novas, a small gathering like this is a prime target for those Movements. " Looking at the others he adds "And I don't like to be surprised..."
