"Good evening, Taxon."

Scott looks calm as he talks, assured of himself. "There's a lot of rumour of problems in the city at the moment. I just wanted to remind everyone of the offer from Charles and those of us living at this Mansion.

"You are welcome here and you safe here. We will protect you if you feel threatened. We can give you a bed to sleep in and food if you need it. We specialised in helping people who pose an uncommon threat without meaning to and we will never let anyone be hurt while under our protection."

He lifts his head slightly. "We're here and you're always welcome, day or night."

The transmission will cut, but the map will briefly flash to show everyone which building is in question, the Westchester mansion in Osten.

Scott's never been much of one for texting, but he's willing to do it.

There's talk of a powerful witch being possessed by a malignant force. I don't know how true it is, but it was worth reminding people that this place is open to everyone.

Josef sighed in relief at that. Good.

Is this the one trying to claim herself ruler and queen with the army in leather coats?

I think so? Honestly, she's made grand claims, but she's yet to do anything I'd consider dangerous. Still, I'm not going to dismiss the possibility of a blossoming supervillain.

In this place though, maybe she can do just what she claims. She seemed pretty calm about sacrificing others.

She might be able to, I don't know. But I've defeated dictators, supervillains and self proclaimed Gods before, I don't intend on this one being any different.

for curiosities sake, who all do you feel the need to protect others from?

Not sure what you mean. I'll protect anyone who needs protection, or feels they do.

There are those here who by the very nature of what they are might seem a threat. I would hate to see them persecuted for such things.

He thought of Mick who gave of himself constantly. He thought of this werewolf who was stunned at the idea of hurting anyone and willing to hurt himself.

In my world, people consider me a threat because of how I was born. It isn't what we are but what we do that deserves assessment of threat.

Fair enough, though I worry the offer could put some at risk.

The "dark creatures", as Remus had put it, of this city were not his to care for and yet he was concerned and worried how this could be turned about people that didn't deserve it.

My concern lies in people not understanding... and with whatever that girl is up to. I read about her on the tablet. Do I assume one of the things I've heard about in the city or she snapped?

I've met DG, I can't say this seem particularly in character for her. I'm inclined to believe possession. I don't know anything else about the situation though, just reminding people they're welcome here if they feel a need for protection.

Again, fair enough. I admit, I came to you with concerns for those in the city who aren't exactly seen in the best light.

He thought of his and Spike's talk about feeding and where to turn for such needs and laughed.

If you inflict fear, panic, pain and suffering deliberately, we will have a problem. Otherwise, what people do with their lives if their business.

Some do those things by existing given the behavior of others. Not to mention I have heard that more times than I can count but most don't stand by it. I hate seeing good men being hurt for their nature.

But they take steps to minimise their danger. And I certainly don't plan on hurting anyone unless they threaten those under my care.

None of those that Josef worried for were under his care. If he was honest, he had been more under Mick's than the other way around. Suddenly though he felt this protective surge. A prince without a city surely.

Good to know. I feel much the same way.

Then I can't see us having a problem.

Why were you considered a threat?

I can demolish a building by looking at it.

You don't gaze longingly at your date's, do you?

Not more than once.

that was an ill thought joke. I apologize.

Apparently dry humour in response doesn't translate well in text.

My "special skill" may have cost me someone. I should assume it can and has to others.

Of course. But I can't spend forever flinching about it. I've done things much more worthy of beating myself up over.
