When the sun rose the next day, Ryan and Zephyr were woken up by the rest of the girls in the household banging on their door.

“Wake up your boyfriend Zephyr!!! We want a Hot Bath this morning!” Liz shouts while banging on the door.

“RYAN GET YOUR ASS UP!” Kannell screams from the other side of the door.

Ryan and Zephyr who were woken up by this commotion slowly roll over out of bed still groggy. Zephyr looks outside her window and leans as far as she could to the corner of the room to get a very hard to see glimpse of the back yard. She could see people awake and enjoying a swim in the lake along with 5 kids throwing around an inflated bear bladder like a ball for fun.

Ryan then chooses to remove his shirt and throw it on the floor and open the door. The woman standing outside the room then forcibly escort him to the bathroom where he sticks his hand in the incoming water from the faucet and starts warming it up.

Alex who chose to sleep on the couch and provide front and back door security for this “Homeless” housing project came walking into the bathroom with a tea kettle. Without saying a word, she grabbed Ryan’s spell hand from the water and places it on the tea kettle with a very tired and groggy look on her face. Ryan then chooses to superheat the kettle for her and in 30 seconds it starts steam. Alex then walks back into the kitchen without a word and makes herself some tea, which Misty sees and starts to crave a cup of as well.

When the bath was fully heated up Ryan calls out to the girls, and they come running. Except for Misty and Zara who like always takes their bath after the main group. As people started entering the bath, Zephyr remembers Ryan cheating on her and a strong feeling of jealousy is felt by her. She then separates Ryan from the other naked girls, and they sit on a side wall away from the group. Alex who chose to sit across from them looks at Zephyr and can see the jealousy in her eyes. Wanting to be a friend and not a threat to her, she moves away from Ryan and dunks her head underwater to clear her mind.

Upon dunking her head underwater, the Rogue sisters walk in last all three caked in dried mud and dirt. They undress and get in all together and sit at the other end of the stone bath. Aurora as she was getting into the water walks over to Ryan and hands him a rolled-up scroll. She then knells down into the water and gently pushes off the wall and glides back to her sisters.

“Had a hell of a night last night. There was a massive thunderstorm we encountered on the way to our little ‘Tribe’ of friends” Aurora said while grabbing a soapy wash rag and cleaning her face.

“Then when we found out friends they were under attack by a pissed off cyclopes. We had to jump in and help them. The damn thing killed a healer of theirs and were so close to finishing a few others in the group. We distracted the damn thing and Asylum jumped up there and stabbed it in the eye which pretty much gave everyone enough time to regroup and end the bastard. Our arrival at the time it was blessing to them and us. It gave us an opportunity while we buried their healer to recruit the group to our side. Several people are upset that Jill died, but me offering them a vacation down here in Tourterra made them all agree without hesitation. I got Twenty-four people to start the process on migrating over here. I’ve banned the request of four people we all know who like to cause trouble and told them to stay over there. Two of them being the ones that provoked the Cyclopes in the first place. With that being said that brings the city’s future population count up to One hundred forty-six. It would have been One hundred forty-Seven if Jill didn’t die, but that just leaves us with four more people to find” she says.

Alex smiles and slouches down further into the water.

“I can get us four people in a heartbeat. I have an amazing family next door who have been dying to come visit this state. If you can get me a teleport over to my house, I will go cash in the favor after my bath” Alex says while stealing a quick look of the other girl’s bodies around her.

“Liz, can you do that for her?” Zephyr asks while standing up out of the water to scrub her legs.

Liz smiles and nods. She then applies Shampoo into her hair and dunks underwater. The girls then talk about what they are going to do today. Ryan then explains his plans to them and they all compromise on todays to-do list. Suddenly Breanna comes teleporting into the bathroom with one of Arcadia’s portals open in the background. Arcadia then closes the portal in a hurry.

Breanna who was looking at everyone in the bath carefully walks over to the window takes a quick peak. She then takes a big breath of relief. Then turns to everyone in the bath.

“Had a ship approaching my Vessel. Arcadia is doing a Switch-a-roo with me. But while I am here, I’m going to take advantage of this luxury bath. Zephyr, move over” she says while she undresses in front of everyone. Ryan chooses to get up out of the water and grab a towel and walk back to his room.

A little while later the girls all get out of the bath, and he can hear Arcadia’s voice coming from the living room. He then stops watching the music video: “MANTRA” from Bring Me The Horizon and walks downstairs as he spots Breanna get teleported back to the ship. Liz then grabs Alex by the hand, and they teleport off to Faterra. Ryan who just now reaches the bottom of the stairs sees a Suit folded up and ready for him to wear.

Kannell then smiles at him and the girls gather around.

“Misty had a great idea last night, she contracted one of those women out there to work all through the night to make this for you from inside one of the spare rooms. We all contributed money toward the woman’s fair asking price, while Misty supplied all the materials. We wanted you to look nice, and like a like a leader while you do this little endeavor of yours to liberate the town and save Breanna. This will be a change from your casual everyday look, but we are hoping it increases your odds of pulling off your end goal” Kannell says while unfolding the jacket off the table.

Ryan who was surprised by this, stands still and shakes his head “No” in fear.

“I love your dedication to the mission, but I have never worn anything Formal in my life. I’ve always been casual, and I don’t plan on changing that” Ryan replies to them.

The girls then look at him in shock.

“Sorry honey, we spent money on this thing, and you are going to wear it. I know you and what you like to wear but you don’t have a say in this” Zephyr says while crossing her arms at him.

“Um no not going to happen. I’m not wearing a suit honey” Ryan tells her.

“We are not asking” Zephyr says as she snaps her fingers. Suddenly the Rogue sisters appear behind him and bring him to the ground.

From the bathroom Misty and Zara can hear Ryan screaming and fighting the girls. Misty was laughing at the situation and choose to just enjoy her hot bath with her daughter and enjoy the dialogue she could hear from the living room. The show from her perspective was funny and entertaining.

At the end of it all they managed to kick his ass and get him into the dress suit by force. Standing before a mirror Ryan was disgusted at what he had become. He had vowed to never wear a suit in his last life and in this current life. But here he was, no longer in his natural shorts and t-shirt. He could not feel his “Florida Man” essence pumping through his veins anymore. He felt dull and sad. He now felt like one of those soulless, emotionless corporate “Suits” he hated so much.

But he took a deep breath and swallowed his pride. He had an audience outside he had to guide and cater too. As Kannell and Zephyr buttoned up his wrist cuffs and straightened up his tie, he realized now it was time.

He walks outside and summons everyone to him. He then smiles and the girls line up by his side.

After his short speech to them about what they were going to do, he then orders Arcadia to open a portal. He then leads everyone through the portal that spit everyone outside the outskirts of town. They all then follow him to the beach and for the next 4 hours everyone enjoys a great day at the beach. After the beach Ryan marched everyone downtown to the courthouse to register his new “Staug” citizens up for citizenship. Upon entering the courthouse with a flood of 72 people and 16 children he draws the attention of 3 Deland officials who were passing by. Everyone inside this small-town government building were scared of the sudden workload that just got dumped on them. For the next 3 hours all the clerks inside were busy and forced into overdrive to get everyone out. On the third hour 3 Deland officials come into the building and start asking questions to the local new citizens. As instructed before by Ryan before they came here, if asked by a Deland official what is going on, don’t say nothing to them and just smile.

After pushing for 16 people and getting the same reaction they start getting angry. That’s when they see the girls who were apart of Liz’s little gang. They knew them from the search warrant they had Lake sign on their house to hunt down Breanna, but they haven’t seen Ryan’s face among them at the time. One of the men asking questions recognized Ryan among them and he Remembers Ryan face from his Trial.

This man then huddles up with his buddies and they exit the building.

“That’s the guy! He’s the one who got off on those charges of Terrorism. If he is with them then something huge is up. I can feel it” The man tells his buddies.

“I talked to one of the clerks who was angered by the sudden workload. These people all came in at once with him and those girls. We need to know what they are up to. If they are not talking to us, it safe to say they have something planned AGAINST us” Another man says.

Both the men look around and enter the building and start counting. They count 72 adults and listen closely. One woman in broken English asks if her citizenship includes voting. Upon hearing this the men rush out of there in a hurry.

“Called it! Emergency meeting now! Chad, you go inform Lake” The lead man says.

The man then walks away from his buddies and heads over to local teleportation mage building.

The rest of the men then have an emergency meeting behind closed doors. In the 30 minutes they talked they all adjourn and head over to the courthouse and get some answers.

They realize there were 72 people that came in and registered for Citizenship for the city. All of them cited the new “Immigration” loophole that allowed them to get instant residency without having to live here for so many Weeks/Months. Then they learned they were all registered under the same address. “106 Hawthorne Heights Place”

They then decide to take a little trip over there. Upon arrival they take a sneak peek into the back yard and see a all the people back there. They then quickly withdraw from the area. “They are planning to break the voting loophole we loopholed. They are going to try to vote us out” Man 1 says.

“Chill out we will be fine. We can enact an ordnance on how many people can live one any plot of land. Once we do that, we can withdraw their citizenship since they don’t have a legal address anymore.” Man 3 says.

“Um that could work, but they are 5 miles outside the city. This is County controlled, which means this zone is controlled by that weird Vampire bitch. We can’t do anything outside the city” Man 2 says

“Well, if that’s the case they can’t Vote for city related things now, can’t they?” Man 1 says

“Actually, the Duchess’s house has a huge exception in the city’s ordinance. Man 2 says while flipping through a book in his hands. “The Duchess’s house is considered a proxy town hall for the City of Staug in the event the one in the town is destroyed. This means this land may be county controlled, but the land is also classified as city” he says.

“If its City, I want an ordinance on it! Get to it!” Man 1 demands.

“We Can’t! Its impossible! It’s zoned as county! This particular manor has immunity from us. But its residents are technically living in the city. This means they can vote, but we can’t control them. Whoever thought about using this place as a sanctuary is a genius!” Man 2 says.

“I don’t care! I want control! How about we vote to rezone this place and remove it as a recognized city proxy. We need to do whatever we can to regain back control of this place” Man 1 says.

They both then walk over to their secondary teleportation mage and take a portal over to Gainer.

From there they storm into the castle and find Lake who was enjoying breakfast. Upon entering the chamber, they shut the door in anger. The look of their face’s could be easily read by Lake.

“Lake! We have an issue!” Man 1 says while sitting down across the table from her. “There appears to be a plot at overthrowing us from our positions, currently being schemed” he tells her.

“Well then do something about it” Lake says while scooping a spoonful of sugar into her tea.

“We want to, but our Lawyer expert realized there is a Loophole in your kingdom zoning laws. Why the hell is Hawthorne Manor zoned as a proxy town hall?!” Man 1 demands.

“That law was enacted some centuries ago. Back when that Vampire arrived here and first casted her shadow upon the town. The people couldn’t hold meetings in the townhall itself as it was too dangerous. So, the people chose to make a secondary town hall outside the city. That manor played its part during her reign, but after diplomatic talks unfolded and peace conditions were met no one ever had to use it for its secret purpose ever again. Hell after that “Tragic” event unfolded upon the Hawthorne’s the manor even went up for sale. Its funny how the city counsel forgot to vote to remove its proxy status upon the house hitting the market” she says while taking sip of tea and picking up her steak knife and her fork.

“We are going to repel it then” Man 1 says.

Lake then smiles at him and drops everything in her hands on the table.

“That you cannot. That was something the people voted on. Thereby you need a public vote to repel that. And as I have observed with the recent absurd laws you have passed; you don’t have enough people in the town to even commence a basic vote. Your ignorance has betrayed you all in that matter” Lake says.

“No Lake you forgot. We still have you by the throat. You better make this work for us, or Mriya will be told every little juicy detail about her stolen military asset. So, I advise you to implement a royal order and change it now” Man 1 demands.

“I mean I could, but I don’t feel like it. Look I agreed to put you all in a seat of power for that town and Nothing else. I’m not breaking any agreement we had. So why do don’t you grown men go sit down and handle this on your own” she tells them.

“Lake you don’t understand. I haven’t gotten my beach property’s built, and we don’t even have any rights to the Coquina reserves your town has. That kid of Bunnell is in the process of Importing in people and having them registered as citizens to overthrow us before we even get a chance to do that. You need to do something now!” Man 1 shouts.

Lake upon hearing this pushes her plate away from her and stands up. “I don’t have to do anything! I agreed upon helping put you all in control of the town, not keeping you in it. You all are on you own in this matter” She shouts in anger back to them.

All three of the men then look at her with anger in their eyes.

“You know what, we will do something. We will think of something. But hear this Queen Lake, if we lose our control over your town, we are telling Mriya everything. So, I best advise you to help us” Man One shouts as he walks out the door. The other two men then follow him out the door.

Lake then just glares at them as they leave the room. She was filled with anger with how they addressed her, but at the same time she was a little happy upon hearing Ryan and his team made progress on this plan. She then sits down and Liz walks into the room and sits across from her while wearing a huge Smile on her face.

“I heard everything” Liz says while interlocking her figures and placing them onto the table.
