For while now, Arte's siblings were moving on with their lives while she stood still, or so it felt like. Remedy had her scandal, now she has a family and a busy life. Damien was the first to move out after Xander and now almost no one saw him, except for Xander. Everywhere JJ went was basically his fortress of solitude but at least he was excelling in his career. He was doing extraordinary work at the society along with their Dad. Meanwhile, Art had no love life to speak of, not for lack of trying. Online dating had been a bust and she did not like all the obscene photos she was getting all the time. She busied herself at the flower shop and sometimes the bakery too when they were short staffed. But Arte was increasingly aware at how boring and uninteresting she, and her life was.

But, she wasn't one to do nothing about it.

One night, she stormed downstairs while her parents were watching the news. Sprinting down and skipping stairs in her little bunny loafers as she did so before sliding into the entryway of their living room. She marched in front of the tv before making her announcement.

"I want to join The Society!" She decided.

Roxanne blinked and looked up at her husband whom she was snuggled up too. Arte in Roxanne's eyes was far from uninteresting, quite the opposite. She wasn't loud or serious like her siblings, but she had her own strengths and quirks like the rest of them.

"Well, I think that's fine, dear. But your Dad is the one who will have more of an opinion on it." Roxanne remarked.

Jer immediately made a tight little frown, one that of concern mostly, and stretched to grab the remote from the other end of the couch, turning off the TV to grant his youngest daughter his full attention.

"My love...I don't know if a job with The Society is for you." He said truthfully.

Of all his children, Artemis reminded him the most of her mother. She was always a beautiful little girl and always a delicate little thing. She was by far the most quiet out of her siblings, all of whom were brash and often more colorfully garnished with their actions and their words. She was a gentle soul, someone who was simply soft. Jer didn't think she had the tenacity to work a job as grueling and as grim as the one he and his two eldest sons worked, though, he was sure she'd thrive working alongside her mother in the flower shop until, perhaps, she wed and started a family of her own.

Arte frowned somewhat, but stuck to her guns.

"Papa, I need a change and I'm tired of being grossly underestimated." Arte said decidedly. "I know testing into it is very rigorous, what's the worst that happens? I take time from the shop and try out for this; if I'm not cut out for it than that will reflect in testing. I won't have any what ifs...I'll got back to the shop." She explained.

Roxanne looked from Arte back to Jer, understanding his concerns.

"Meek, not weak, my love. She may surprise you." Roxanne said softly with a smile.

Jer reached up to rub at his forehead, letting out a little sigh.

"I just worry for you, ma fifille. It is a very trying job and it is, at most times, very hard on the heart." Jer said, though, it was clear in the way he spoke that he was not outright telling Arte 'no'.

"If JJ can do it, I do not see why I shouldn't." Arte persisted. "Pere, please. Will you help me do this?" She asked then, pleadingly.

Jer sighed and rubbed at his head some more before peeking out from behind his palm.

"You truly mean to do this?" He asked.

Arte nodded her head furiously.

"I've already decided." She answered.

"Then I will help you, of course." Jer consented, though he was still hesitant.

"Thank you," Art smiled triumphantly. "I look forward to it." She beamed.

--

Thus began Arte's intensive training to prepare for the Society. She wasn't traditionally athletic but was fit enough she didn't have too many problems on the physical level of training. She wanted to prove to Jer and everyone else that she wasn't too fragile. She ran 5k every morning before sunrise, hit the gym and boxing with Remedy. She stayed up late to study regulations, historic case files, species of supernaturals and their districts. She was feeling very good about herself pretty much up until she stepped foot in the 'open auditions,' if you will.

Applying to the Society was a lot easier said than done. There was a room full of people just as capable if not more than Arte, people who had been training and studying just the same. She pressed her lips into a thin line as she tried not to look down upon entering the room. Everyone was mingling or studying it seemed like, nothing too crazy. She tried to imagine this is what orientation was like at college. Her best friend Lucinda encouraged her quite a bit in training, but Arte felt like it was here that she really needed her friend. But she definitely felt like she had something to prove, so for now, she decided to be unafraid and not intimidated by the other people.

Salamao Mehtevas never thought he'd be applying for a position with the Society, and yet...here he was.

Both of his parents were success stories in the way that they'd both been picked up and led fairly successful lives assimilated into mainstream society despite their "stigmas", but he was by no means a legacy like some of the faces he knew during these open trials. There was Joshua Polmrok (oh my god, he has a last name?) Junior, the son of one of the Society's longer standing members, auditioning as well as Mishka Dalca, the founder's son. He'd also caught glimpses of Jeraud Laughlin Junior and his like-named father directing the new potential members to various test stations and Rundin Dalca making casual conversation with some of the potential recruits. It was hard to imagine himself being as much of a clear shoe in as some of the legacies in the room with him.

But still...he needed the money. Bad.

He had dreams of opening up a florist shop, but that wasn't something that was in the cards if he didn't have money. His father mentioned in passing that they were looking to hire some people at The Society, though, he was sure his father was oblivious that they were looking for field officers. But if he could just get a position, he could save up for a bit and then quit to pursue his real passion: botany.

Besides, who knows, perhaps he'd actually find out he had a knack for the job.

Arte looked around, she saw enough familiar faces including her older brother who she opted to not acknowledge. She knew he was busy networking and making impressions, she would just get in his way. Mishka was here, he was nice enough but she didn't know him well, same could be said for the other JJ. Her phone vibrated in her pocket and she glanced at it briefly, it was a message from Lucinda.

Good luck. My brother is there, tell him I said to eat a dick.

Arte furrowed her brows before looking up and around the room. She had seen Lucinda's siblings before of course, their house was decorated with photos and most of them seemed to still live at home? Or at least acted that way. There was Owen, but she was pretty sure he had a happy career as a dance instructor. Why would he be here? Then again, there was Neran who admittedly, she knew next to nothing about. Godric who was mysterious and aloof, but reportedly was doing well as a tattoo artist. There was Salamao, though she wasn't positive she would recognize him. What with so many siblings, they all sort of ran together in her memory.

As Salomao awaited instruction, he couldn't help but notice as Jeraud (senior) paused to look into the crowd, beaming when he saw someone and he gave a flamboyant wave. Sal cocked his brow and followed the older man's gaze into the crowd where he saw his sister's frequent visitor and friend, Artemis.

"She's trying to get the job too?" He mumbled, curious. He would have never guessed his sister's flighty friend would want a job like the one they were attempting to land by being here.

Arte pursed her lips a little, flushing. Dad wasn't waving at JJ, and Rundin certainly wasn't waving at Mishka. Still, she was thankful for his help and encouragement, she gave a curt and professional wave of acknowledgment. She finally spotted Salamao then, once she looked away from her Dad. She raised her own brow, inquisitive as to what he was doing here. She would have never imagined him here.

Once Sal realized he'd been noticed, he knew it was only polite to go over and greet Arte then. He held up a finger as if to tell her "one moment" before he proceeded to shift through the crowd the best he could.

Arte looked around, unsure at first that he was coming to see her.
