It's pretty simple. This post is open. You can tag it with someone with a request or to be surprised, prompts optional (though if you leave it up to me it will probably be ridiculous), and let's have some fun. Muselist is HERE.

Have fun my dears.

[Terminal City isn't really a city. It's more of a maze of half torn down buildings and hidden tunnels. To be fair, it's any Manticore graduate's paradise because there are plenty of places to hide, unseen.

It also is a toxic waste dump, so it keeps most of those who aren't immune out.

Long story short: not the prettiest place in the world, but it's home. Alec and Jessica are currently standing outside it. Alec doesn't have parents, so this is the closest Jessica will get to meeting the family.]

You sure you wanna do this?

[It's a surprising site to her, but she's also just never been out of Bon Temps much except for that time she went to Dallas with Bill. This is different from anything she's ever seen before.

At the question, she nods her head.]

'Course I am.

[im_apimp]

Okay.

[He tips his head towards one of the passage ways.]

This way.

[cheeto]

[She nods, following him.]

[im_apimp]

[the path leads under the gates of Terminal City itself, and up into one of the large open areas. His hands go up before he does, and he pokes his head out first.]

Easy. We're friendly.

[That's more directed at the snipers than at Jessica.]

[cheeto]

[She follows behind him, letting her hands raise up as well.]

I promise, we don't mean nobody no harm

[im_apimp]

[He pushes his way out of the tunnel, before turning to extend a hand back to her.]

They won't shoot me, but with everyone else, the orders are to shoot first, ask questions later.

[cheeto]

You weren't kiddin' when you warned me 'bout this place, were you?

[im_apimp]

We protect our own, and we were raised to be soldiers. It's how we operate.

[cheeto]

I can't imagine what that musta been like.

[im_apimp]

[he shrugs]

It wasn't so bad. We always knew how to take care of ourselves.

[cheeto]

There is that. I kinda wish I had known how to do that when I was younger.

[im_apimp]

There's still time to learn. You're not dead yet.

[cheeto]

[She smirks a little.] I do know, now. My maker's trained me.

[im_apimp]

[He laughs, dusting himself off.]

Never mind then.

[cheeto]

No point in havin' all the cool vamp skills unless I learn how to use 'em.

[im_apimp]

That is very true. With us it was more of a us we didn't know not using it was an option.

[cheeto]

Makes sense.

[im_apimp]

Anyway. Would you like the grand tour?

[cheeto]

Yes. Show me around.

[im_apimp]

[he sweeps his arm out in a wide gesture before nodding.]

Right this way.

[cheeto]

[She nods, following him.]

[Most of TC is run down and gives the impression of being uninhabitable. They're in the process of fixing it up, but ten years of decay is hard to get out of the walls.

He leads the way through a series of buildings until they open doors to a wide room full of TV screens, weapons and, of course, transgenics. Most of them could pass for human but there's a fair chunk of them that can't their animal traits overriding their human ones.]

And this is Ops.

[cheeto]

[Jessica looks around the place curiously. It's definitely different than most places she's seen.]

This is where you live?

[im_apimp]

Sort of. This is base of operations. Some of us have places in the city that we keep up for appearance's sake, but for those of us that can't, we live here.
