[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Ray had ducked and her hands had come up to cover her head. "Alright, I'll keep my eye out," she said quietly.

"I just brought you here to get a look at the place. Nothing to do inside for now."

((gtg))

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((awww, byeas!))

He grinned and took her hand, leading her into the house. He could still hear Hannah spreading the news.

"Well, yeah, I figured."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Ray followed. "Should I take off my shoes?"

"What do you think so far?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Ummm... not yet."

"Sounds promising."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Alright, I dunno the policy in your house or whatever," she said sheepishly.

"Great."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Well," he murmured, "You might need your shoes until they approve of you."

"So when do we go?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I'll try my best."

He shrugged. "When it gets dark, probably closer to midnight."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He nodded, walking into the living room, but the house had gotten eerily quiet. "Oh, great, they're giving me a hard time."

"Figures."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What?" she asked, feeling the need to lower her voice, "What do you mean?"

He grinned. "Shall we go back?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Sighing, he shook his head and kept going. "You'll see."

"Back where?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Okay," she said slowly.

"To Ray's place?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

As they got to the kitchen, the feeling of impending doom got worse, but still no one was there. "Okay, maybe not."

"Oh, of course. Nothing else to show me?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Ray glanced over her shoulder. "Is something going to jump out?"

"This isn't enough?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Maybe," he said under his breath, looking around a corner. No one.

She laughed. "It's hardly noon."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Ray bit her lip, possibly rethinking this whole visit.

"Oh please."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Calm down," he said in her ear, "I'm sure it's nothing."

"It is!"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She nodded a little bit, glancing around.

"Do you have any suggestions?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Okay, maybe we'll turn back..." And that was the cue they were waiting for. His siblings came out of any possible hiding spot, shouting random nothings and each smacking his head in turn for being away for so long. "So what have you been up to?" was the consensus question.

"None off the top of my head, no."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Ray clamped her hands over her mouth to keep from shrieking and stood there, eyes wide.

"That's a problem."

((brb/gtg? im not sure))

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((aww, okay))

"Working," James replied, which set off a round of laughter.
"We all know you haven't head steady work in a year."
"You been fired again, huh?"
"Or set something on fire?"

"Well, pardon me."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((baack))

Ray kinda just stood there, not sure whether she should make her presence known or they would just get around to acknowledging her.

"You're not hungry, right?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((wooo))

"Very funny, guys."
"So why're you here, kid?"
"Are we going to have to kick you out?"
"I'd appreciate it a lot of you wouldn't do that," he replied, shaking his head and wrapping an arm around Ray's shoulder. "By the way, this is my girlfriend."
A collective "what?!" went up from the group of siblings, and everyone started firing questions at her.
"How did you meet?"
"You actually agreed to date this moron?"
"Shut up, Hannah, I think it's cute."
"Ivy, you think everything is cute."
"Yeah, somewhere in her cold, dead heart."
That earned the boys a good smack.

"You walked in when we were eating, genius."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Uh, hi," Ray said awkwardly.

"Well, maybe you worked up an appetite? I don't know."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Hi!" they all replied.
"Don't worry, their minds all work collectively," James stage-whispered.
Collective smack.

She laughed. "You've been gone for a few days and now I'm a fragile, unpredictable little thing, huh?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Nice to meet you all," she said and raised her hand to shake theirs, but wasn't sure who to extend it to first.

"Always been," he teased.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((gtg D:))

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

They all took turns shaking her hand. Hannah was mostly trying to indimidate, Brian looked uncomfortable and probably wanted to double check her identity, Joe was borderline flirting, and Ivy just smiled.
"Good, glad that happened."

"Not hardly!" she shot back. "I could totally kick your ass."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I'm Rayana. Uh, Ray for short."

"You want to try?" he asked, grinning.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

They all introduced themselves in turn.

"I could!" she insisted.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Nice to meet you all," she said, smiling a little.

"I don't want you to break anything," he teased.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"How long have you been together?" Ivy gushed.

"It would be fair if you were a little more breakable yourself," she shot back.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Gee, I don't know...a couple of years?" she guessed, glancing at James to confirm.

"That's not my fault."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He nodded.
"That long?"

"I never said that."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What? Is that surprising?"

"You implied it."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Are you kidding? This kid can't hold onto anything that's good for him," Joe scoffed. James punched him in the shoulder.

"Hardly. I was only poking fun at your constant invulnerability."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I can't really speak for James here, but he's been good for me," she said, glancing down at her shoes.

"Hasn't failed me yet."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Oh, don't look so uncomfortable," James said, nudging her shoulder. "I told you they wouldn't stop making fun of me."
"Hey, you've been gone so long that you deserve it."
"Hannah, you'd say that if I was here yesterday."

"Yet seems to be the operative expression."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I can't help it."

"Only time will tell."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Why's that, hun?" Ivy asked, tilting her head to the side.

"Are you saying your current supernatural state is subject to change?" she asked, raising her eyebrows, "Because I don't think we have access to that sort of magic."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I'm a socially awkward person."

"Probably not, but we've encountered some odd things."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She laughed. "So are we all. You'll fit right in."

"Point to you, I guess."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Great," she grinned.

"Thanks. Let's wander, shall we?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"How come you haven't brought her to meet us before?" Hannah demanded, turning it back on James.
"Whoa, hey there Signora Hostility. We've been busy saving the world and things."

"Sure."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Well, nothing like that, really."

He smiled and led her out of the alley.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Well don't lie to us! What have you been up to that's more important than coming to visit?"
"Uh..." He looked to Ray for help.

"Just wandering, or are you thinking of other places that might scare me?" she teased.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((aight, i gtg))

"Traveled the world?"

"Just wandering for now," he laughed.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((byeas!))

"Really?" came the incredulous response.

"Fair enough, I think I can handle that."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Yeah, sort of," she said slowly, not sure how much information she was to let on to.

"I'd be worried if you couldn't."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"It's all right," James said, laughing a little. "They're not going to believe you anyway if you tell them what really happened."

"Don't worry so much."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Probably not."

"I didn't say I was now."
