Ugh, I'm so glad we now get a paragraph enforcing just how small this airfield is, I just beat its an ESSENTIAL PLOT POINT TO THIS STORY!
Whatever, they're now near the Smokey Mountains because Richard is doing a master degree in biology and basing his thesis on the lower smokey mountain troll or something or another, it's kinda showhorned in there between Anita yapping on about the scenery and location. (They're at Myerton, Tennessee)
Apparently Richard has been coming down here for years in the summer between his full time teaching because shockingly it takes longer to get a degree when you only work on it for three or so months every year.
We than get a whole spill about how Richard is an outdoorsie sort of person who loves camping, climbing, caving, etc.
We FINALLY get past Richard and move onto a random guy whose walking towards them.
A man walked towards us. He was almost perfectly round in the middle, wearing a pair of coveralls with oil on the knees. White hair stuck out from underneath a billed cap.
It keeps going saying that he wears glasses and wipes his hand on a rag as he idly wonder towards them with an open and curious face, eyes flickering from Anita to her entourage than to the coffins that were being unloaded (Asher in one, Damien in the other)
Wait, wait, wait.. So JC wasn't allowed into the territory, but he can send his personal assassin and fucking second in command in plus an entourage?!
This vampire is a fucking retard!
Whatever, we learn that while Damien is a viking and way older than Asher, he isn't anywhere near as powerful. Because according to this lore, you have the power you start off with and simply learn how to control them. So if when you're turned you're weak well too fucking bad!
We than randomly get Damien's backstory, apparently he was taken by a powerfully scary vampire when he raided her stronghold, for some reason JC ransomed for Damien's freedom once he took over as MOC, Anita has no idea what it cost him but even though she's never met or even know Damien's old master she's certain it wouldn't have been cheap because she wouldn't have wanted to give up her favourite whipping boy.
But whatever, the plot is once again trying to push itself back into the limelight! Mr overalls points out that Mr Niles man is waiting for them in the building, when Anita asks who the hell he's talking about. He looks confused before asking if they're not Nile's men because someone called Milo mentioned that his people are landing today or some crap.
Overalls looks over his shoulder as a tall man stepped out of the building. His skin was the colour of coffee, two creams. That seems... Suspiciously racist, or something... I dunno, I'm not exactly PC.
He has a haircut that's a wedge.. Which makes me think he has an emo cut, but sure. He's wearing an expensive suit and apparently screams muscle to miss hardcore Anita.
Anita points out that they're not Niles people while wondering who Niles is. Oh Look! A wild plot point has appeared!
Before Anita can investigate this plot point too closely though, Jamil (one of Richards wolf enforces) pops out of nowhere, saying that this group belongs to him.
For some reason, Werewolves in this universe seem to base their history and mythology off Norse history (even though Werewolves started in Greek times) BUT SURE, WHATEVER!
Enforces for this wolfpack (maybe all of them? It's not clearly explained here) are Skoll and Hati, you know. The two wolves who chase the sun and moon, keeping Fenrir in check, once they catch up the end of the world happens.
Anita goes on to say that this tells something that the wolf pack calls their enforces after something that'll bring on the end of the world.
I guess.. That, kinda makes sense??
Jamil is Skoll, which means that he's head enforcer. Which means he's a walking stereotype, he's dark skinned and has waist length cornrows, he has white beads in his hair. According to Anita the last time she saw him they were multi-coloured.
Oh, and for some weird reason he was wearing a white sleeveless shirt with dress pants and shoes... Fucking weirdo.
OH so Overall' is called Ed, musta missed that intro somewhere, flicked a look at Jamil before wondering off, Anita mentions that she didn't realise that Jamil was there.
He points out that since he's Richard's bodyguard (I guess enforcers multi-task?) where else would he be?
.."Where were you the night his body was supposedly attacking this women?"
-Sigh-
MOVING ON!
Instead of answering the question, he replies that the accusers name is Betty Schaffer, and instead of pushing her question again, Anita simply asks if he's spoken to her.
To which he gets all wide-eyed because she's already accused a fine upstanding white boy, so of course he hasn't spoken to her.
The racial undertones here...
Anita points out that he could try to blend in a little, Jamil points out that there's only two POC (the other being Milo) within a 50 miles radius, so he doesn't try.
Anita thinks that there is an undercurrent of anger there and wonders what issues he's been facing with the locals, thinking that not only is he African American, but tall, athletic and handsome. Also the fact that he has 'killer fashion'
BITCH HE'S WEARING THIS...
WITH SUIT PANTS! EVEN I WOULDN'T WEAR SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!!!!
And I'm currently wearing Star Wars shorts with a torn shirt.
BUT! Apparently his 'killer fashion sense' means that the locals clearly assume that he is gay, or somewhere along those lines.
Whatever, Anita points out that she assumes that Milo is the other POC, careful not to point at the guy since he was watching them carefully, since muscle apparently recognises muscles and both are wondering why the other is out in the middle of nowhere.
So the other male of colour is called Milo Hart and he doesn't blend in either, but Milo works for the mysterious Frank Niley, Which he learnt from gossiper Ed. Niley has a bodyguard because he's rich, for some reason Anita seems slightly confused by that logic.
Jamil has a small bitch that if Richard allowed him to do his job than the rape charges wouldn't have much weight because Richard would have had a witness... Not sure how much weight a black male would have, because the subcontext here is that his word wouldn't mean shit.
Anita mentions that maybe she should go and talk to the victim, Jamil agrees and calls her babe, Anita points out that he's the only one who calls her that and theres a reason for it. Jamil seems chuffed about this for some reason or another.
We now learn that Richard actually has history with the victim, apparently they dated or something as Richard is trying to find a replacement for Anita... In random human females, because.... Logic, I guess?
Anita looks down on Richard for sleeping around even though SHE CHEATED ON HIM WITH HER CURRENT SQUEEZE!
Anita acts all high and mighty, but doesn't throw a stampy so Jamil looks relieved, and points out that Richard doesn't sleep with humans because of how fragile they are, so apparently were-wolves are like superman in this universe?
We now learn that Anita is slightly shocked that you don't have to put a D in a V to have sex, and that apparently were's can lose control and change at orgasm or something or something, bullshit that pushes my suspension of disbelief.
We finally, FINALLY move away from this BS subject by Jason demanding help with the luggage, he has two suitcases under each arm, while Zane and Cherry move a coffin out. Nate being the useless piece of eye candy that he's here for is lying topless on top of the other coffin already out on the runway.
Anita than suitcase shames, since she's a manly man who only brought one suitcase. Cherry because she's a yucky girly girl brought three and JC sent along a trunk probably full of porn clothes or something.
Jason jokes that maybe she won't have to worry about wearing the clothes if the Master simply tries to kill her. Instead of doing the whole elaborate fancy vampire meeting thing.
Nate randomly turns his head to look at Anita, stating that while he's a strong manly man he can lift the coffin, but it's not balanced correctly for him to simply carry it himself and needs help. Anita retorts that he clearly does need help and this hurts his feelings because everyone in this goddamn series have the self-esteem of a thin piece of ice.
When Anita asks why he's sunbathing, his smile completely fades and explains that its a scene from a porno he starred in and shared with Anita (who didn't watch them) and gets all cut because she didn't watch it or some shit.
I'm going to end this here because ugh, just... Ugh, I'll post the second part in a day or so.
