"Wow um, thanks for the stuff you sent me."

Damien smiled childishly to Marishka, glad she had received the gifts and cards. It was pathetic the amount of time he would spend wandering the stores in search for what he believed was the perfect item. To know she had received them, possibly even liked them, made the time worth it. His eyes widened as the boy crashed through the ceiling and another girl came in from a window.

"We are on a roll today." Dimi said, smiling. "First we find family, next we get a freaking sun roof in our home that's already falling apart..." She was in front on the man now, her hands clenched into tight fists. "And now? Now we've got people falling out of the fucking sky. That's just fantastic!"Squatting down in front of the one who'd came through the roof, she narrowed her eyes at him. "You my good sir, have exactly 2 seconds to tell me who you are because right now...I really feel like killing something and you're the first thing I want to take care of." Without looking up she pointed her finger at the female. "And you, too."

To be honest, Dimi terrified Damien. He could tell she was suspicious of him, not that he blamed her, but he knew if it came down to it.... She would be able to kick his butt. Bitter memories of Karate class came back to Damien and he shivered slightly. Silently he was grateful for Dimi's anger to be focused on a different target.

"I'm Riley... I just heard a crash and was a little curious.... I apologize for intruding but I can assure you I am of no harm to anyone here... Actually... I hope to maybe join this collaboration with all of you... A few of the people and vices around here that I talk to have heard your occasional words of maybe revenge on Viktor? I could help with that, but of course, it is your tea party. Not mine."

Standing up with wide eyes in fright of a fight about to break out, Damien held his hands out non-aggressively. "Okay guys... uh, girls, let's not let this go out of control. We shouldn't be fighting among ourselves, we have enough of the Original Vices to take care of that for us." Damien glanced between the trio, creeping away slightly from Dimi in case she decided to turn her anger back towards him. "I mean, we're all in the same position I think."
