Happy Father's day everyone!

Just like on Mother's day, share a special memory of your dad, grandad, someone who is like a dad to you, or what you like about beinga Dad! And if you don't want to talk about them, share what you like about everyone's favorite science Dad, Hastie Lanyon!

Or another character you think is a good Dad!

Have a great day everyone!

(Griffin's not very keen for father's day, but Millie's still kind of into it despite not having parents anymore.)

I think that picture captures Hastie's tangable sass nicely! xD

I think my favorite thing about my dad is the fatherly advice he gives me on a daily basis. He's got it foreverything!

Housing: "If you have to cross a police line to get into an appartment. Don't."

Fashion: "You need to put on more weight so you can get a bigger belt."

Driving: "Hitting a relative gets you bonus points...If you hit me you lose."

That and his morning and night policy of pants only gets him remembered for sure! XD

Though Griffin doesn't have any children, he's against most holidays. Even Christmas; yes, EVEN Christmas. Though he doesn't mind Halloween, because that's the best opportunity to use the formula without repercussions ;)

Well, Cheshire would like Christmas, as he does have a son and wants him to be happy. But as he's invisible, it's hard for him to celebrate it.

( The doctor gazes thoughtfully at the foliage. Butterflies and bees flit from flower to flower, rays of sunlight illuminating the various types of petals.

As the specks of dust catch fire in the beams, his thoughts turn to the holiday before him.

Father's day.

His life had been filled warmth. He loved his mothers more than anything.

Images of purple faces and toothy grins. Stripes and amber.

The Quartzes who raised him.

His family.

Still something had been missing. Empty chairs at the dining table. Faces absent from the family album. The years flew by like pages off a calendar. He grew and changed.

So much like her, they said.

But with his father's smile. His freckles.

His sideburns.

Henry Rose had never known his parents. Never heard her soft tinkling laugh or the sly gleam in his tired eyes.

The pink gem on his hand catches the light, a small locket resting in its fingers.

Brown eyes lock with and identical pair, tracing the strong chiseled features of the man nestled beneath them.

Catt had decided to spend some time tending to the herbs in her corner again. These, family hollidays, they always left her feeling... ostracised.

If she was going to be left out anyway, she'd rather be in the company of something else that had no concept of "parents." Plants were good for that, and wouldn't feel awkward from her lack of parental, everything.

She stopped by the faucet to fill her watering can, before making her way over to her corner.

The came a knock at the door to the Society.

A woman stood before it, clad in a blue dress to match the color of her eyes. Her hair was of chestnut-auburn hue, tresses peeking out from beneath the sensibly fashionable hat she wore. Long, black gloves and boots completed the ensemble.

Freshly freed from the confines of her room and equipped with her usual hooded cloak and bracelet, Hela had nearly been at the Society's doors when a knock came from the outside.

So much for any easy exit. She sighed before tugging open the door.

"Who might you be, miss? A new lodger?" asked Hela as she looked the woman over, deciding it safe to meet her eyes since it was clear they had never met before.

"'Lodger'?" echoed the newcomer softly.

She cleared her throat in a prim manner.

"No, miss.

"Sophia Weir," she introduced herself with an elegant curtsy.

She rose.

"I've come here looking for my brother, one Dr. Lewis Weir," she explained.

Helen Jekyll  Jekyll1886 • 2 years ago

"Sophia Weir," She repeated, stunned.

"Lewis never mentioned having a sibling..."

Despite her sense of unease, Hela held the door open wider.

"Then again, he hasn't told me a lot of things... Come on in."

"I can't say I'm surprised," said Sophia as she entered.

"Thank you, by the by, Miss..." she trailed off as she turned to Hela, hoping she'd introduce herself.

Hela gave Sophia her warmest smile- the smile of her counterpart.

"Ruth. Helen Ruth, biochemist." She informed her with a dip of her head.

"I might be able to help you track down your brother, if you'd like. This place is massive and a bit of a maze, if you're not accustomed to it."

"It wouldn't be a problem at all." assured Hela, "Anything for a relative of Weir's, especially one so closely related."

Hela slowed to a halt in front of one of the more plain doors that lined the hallway before flashing Sophia another smile.

"I'm sure he'll want to tell you all about it." She said, opening the door.

The room inside seemed to be some sort of storage room, containing various pieces of furniture, with each covered by a white sheet. A single unlit lantern rested on a table towards the back wall.

"After you, Miss Weir."

"Thank you, Miss Ruth," said Sophia as she approached the doorway.

"What's he doing in a room like this?" she asked as she leaned forward to peer in, gloved hand resting against the door frame.

"I can hardly see a thing..." she said softly, more to herself.

"Lewy?" she called.

"Oh, sorry, he's not in this room, I just need to find my keys." Hela explained with a soft laugh.

"I hope you won't tell anyone where I've hidden them. I have a hard enough time remembering where they are and I'd hate to have to relocate again.

Her smile turned humble. "My terrible memory aside, if you could just light that lantern in the back there for me, I'll start searching the drawers and under the sheets."

Jekyll1886  Helen Jekyll • 2 years ago

"I'm the soul of discretion," Sophia assured her, as to the location of the keys.

She switched her closed fan to her left hand as she entered, went to the back of the room, picked the lantern up with her right, and turned and faced her guide.

"Have you a light?" asked Sophia. "I'm afraid I don't see any matches here."

Helen Jekyll  Jekyll1886 • 2 years ago

"None at all? Hmm. That's rather unfortunate."

Hela sighed, then gave a shrug.

"Oh well... if there's not a matchbox beneath the table, then I'll simply have to search in the dark."

She pulled the covering off of a dresser and opened the top drawer, rummaging through its contents.

"Oh, I hadn't checked beneath the table," said Sophia, bending down to peer under it in the dim light.

Helen Jekyll  Jekyll1886 • 2 years ago

A matchbox laid in the far back corner, about half empty.

Seeing the woman's back was turned once more, Hela closed the drawer and opened the one below it, picking up a knife still in its sheath.

"Any luck?" She asked cheerily, making her way around the various furniture and towards Sophia, the sheath held in her right hand with her left resting on the handle.

Jekyll1886  Helen Jekyll • 2 years ago

Sophia fumbled for the matches, gloved fingers brushing against them but not quite able to reach.

"Just a moment..." she said as she knelt down to get at a better angle.

She leaned forward on hands and knees and at last laid hold of the box of lights.

"Take your time, Sophia."

The blade made a soft hissing sound as Hela pulled it from its case.

"After all, I'd like to savor this moment."

She slowly sucked in a breath then let it out all at once, satisfied.

"Now, be a dear and move very slowly."

"Oh, nothing... Just a warning that sudden movements could result in some blood loss on your part."

Hela rubbed the hilt of her knife affectionately and watched Sophia out of the corner of her eye.

"It's nothing personal."

"Blood loss?" echoed Sophia, opening her fan and pressing it to her lips, consternation patent not just in tone but body language as she rose into a crouch.

Hela let out a chuckle. "Good, your ears are working."

She kneeled down and rested the sharpened edge of the blade against the side of Sophia's threat, using her free hand to brush aside long locks of hair to further expose her neck.

"In case you haven't realized it already, I don't intend to bring you to your brother... except perhaps as a corpse."

"Miss Ruth..." said Sophia softly as she slowly half-closed her fan.

"You're a very poor hostess."

Sophia snaked the edge of the fan under the blade.

With a flick of her wrist, she batted the knife away and unfurled the fan. At the same time, she rose with a fluid grace to face Hela.

The fan in her hand...was metal.

"I have not come from Glasgow just to be murdered in London," she asserted in a no-nonsense manner.

She looked Hela up and down.

"Hmph. Lewy always did have the worst taste. I see nothing's changed."

"What can I say?"

Hela shrugged, palms up, and swallowed back her rising nervousness.

"I saw an opportunity and I took it."

She stepped aside and leaned against a bookcase, leaving the pathway to the door clear.

"Now, if you really want to find your brother, he comes to my room for three meals a day... or you can ask around about where his office is."

"Otherwise," She offered, "you can simply stick around here with me and someone is bound to come looking eventually."

Jekyll1886  Helen Jekyll • 2 years ago • edited

Sophia played a scenario in her mind of walking past the bookcase, only to be stabbed in the back.

Because "the opportunity would present itself."

"In that case, Miss Ruth, I prefer to remain here."

((By the way, it's evening, after dinner, and Lewis has left for the day. So this situation is extra unnecessary/ironic! XD Woo!))

"Fair enough..."

Hela sighed and sheathed her blade.

"I had a feeling you'd be as difficult as he is." She admitted, "It must be a Weir thing."

((Oh no! XDX So, what? The two of them are just stuck together until Lewis comes back tomorrow?))

"I'm difficult?" echoed Sophia with a mix of condescension and shocked disbelief as she raised the fan to hold it over her left ear.

"You, Miss Ruth, have not only failed to lead me to my brother, as you said you would, but also made an attempt upon my very life, not to mention insulted my family.

"Should you wish to behold someone 'difficult'...I'd suggest you look in a mirror."

((Well, the Vibralert coins still work, so someone ought to come by eventually for Hela. Hopefully they can give Sophia Lewis's home address. Let me know when you want me to tag someone to come by.))

"I merely meant you and your brother are difficult to kill, Sophia. No need to get your dress in a knot."

Hela gave an amused grin, her eyes shinning with mirth.

"Though I will readily admit that I'm a very difficult person."

She toyed with the idea of telling Miss Weir her real name or that she was family as well, but decided it would be better to make Lewis sort the whole mess out.

"It always makes talking to proper ladies like you that much more interesting."

((Anytime is fine! ^-^ Whenever you feel Sophia's had enough of dealing with Hela.))

Caliber? She thought, mentally frowning.

She must not mean the gun type.

"No," Sophia disagreed. There was a look of...something approaching pity, perhaps. Or a trace of resigned sadness. Though physically in only her early thirties, the soul behind her eyes bore a hard-won wisdom beyond such a paltry handful of years.

"If you don't know, then it's likely not important," concluded Sophia with a muted look of relief as she lowered the fan and slowly closed it.

A moment of silence.

"Any particular reason you wish me dead?" she asked--quite neutrally, given the circumstances. She did recall her homicidal hostess had said it was nothing personal. Yet was that really the case?

(IM LATE

I forgot to do all the things and I'm late but I'm doing them now!

For me, Father's Day wasn't really ever important. Half of my life I only saw my dad for a couple days a month, and I was hardly ever with him on Father's Day. And I was a kid, so I'd forget to call him between visits. And now that my stepdad is here, he doesn't care much for it so I still forget.

Elaina.... has some bad memories with her father. Yay!!)

Elaina knew the day as soon as she woke up. Father's Day. The day she had to spend cleaning the house and kissing her father's butt. She dreaded this day. The thought of it made her sick. She sat up, surprised her mother wasn't shouting for her to get up and make breakfast, until she remembered where she was. She wasn't home. She didn't have to deal with the Father's Day bull. A grin spread across her face and she laughed happily, laying back down.

"Happy Father's Day, dad. I hope you miss me now, because I sure as Hell know you didn't before!"
