Re: Blood Feuds: Trying to Survive (Anais, Vincent, Chantal)
(Chantel/Vincent)
Chantel quietly left the room, leaving the tray of food behind.? If Anais hadn't eaten by the time she went to bed, then she would remove it. Chantel headed to Vincent's office and entered without knocking.? He stood from his chair behind his desk and crossed the room.? With a smile, they exchanged a gentle kiss and he wrapped his arms around her, "so, how is the lady settling in?" ?
"Well, she isn't happy and actually seemed surprised to learn that Draven was here in Paris.? She thought maybe she could pen him and tell of her whereabouts so that he could come and give us what we are seeking."
?
Vincent laughed as he let Chantel slip out of his arms and she crossed to the girl sitting on the couch.? She lifted the girl's arm and with a little slit placed in the wrist, let some of her blood drip into a wine glass.? When it was half full, Chantel licked the wound closed and the girl went back to just being there.? "She is a little confused as to why she is here.? Oh, and she refused to eat, worried that we might taint the food." She said as she sipped the warm drink.
?
"True, she hadn't seen him or heard from him since she ran away, granted he knew when she was last in New York before she came here and took on a new identity," Vincent said.? "No, I don't think we will let her pen him just yet.? That is not part of the plan.? And the photos and journal?"
?
"Oh, it had the effect you thought it would, she was surprised even though she tried to hide it.? All was tossed in the fire.? Too bad, he had such pretty handwriting."
?
"As for food, just keep offering, she will eventually get hungry enough to eat.? I don't think she is the type to let her unborn children starve.? Herself, maybe, but not the babies.? We will let her be for the night.? Did you open the balcony window?"
?
"Yes, she will see her friends being taken away by there new owners."? Both of them laughed at that point as they embraced once again.
?
(Outside)
As Anais looked out the window, below was the front drive to the place.? There were several cars and even some large limos lining it.? A few people were coming out of the front doors below her and were leading other people away.? No one seemed to be struggling or fighting they seemed to be in some sort of trance.? The sixth group to come out into view was a man and woman and following them were Anais' friends.? They walked along willingly and were lead to one of the limos. Anais As Anais stood upon the balcony, she rubbed her arms against a chill she did not feel on her skin but in the pit of her belly. This was a fine mess she had gotten herself into. And as of right now she had no idea how to get herself out.? As she looked down, she saw the humans being led out the front door into the waiting vehicles. Although no one fought or made a fuss, it was obvious they did not leave on their own accord. The faraway look in her eyes told her that. She knew what was going to happen to them. They would not become slaves. ? Everything they once had and knew gone. What kind of life they had would have now would depend heavily on what kind of master they were going to and how much trouble they cause as they assimilated into their new lives. Being the daughter of a slaver, she had seen first hand what could be done to slaves, those who assimilated and those who didn¡¯t. She had read her mother¡¯s journal. So besides her first-hand eyewitness accounts of what she had seen in her own life, she understood from her mother¡¯s own words, what waking a slave could be like. She said a quiet prayer for those poor souls. And then she saw her friends. And a tremendous sense of guilt ran through her. This had happened to them because of her. They were being led away like lambs to the slaughter because the bastards who held her had no use for them. And she had no doubt the fact that she was being allowed to move about the room, standing on the balcony to have front-row seat, being forced to watch it happen because those same bastards wanted her to see this¡
?
First, the man, Vincent. He seemed to be the brains behind the operation, the one that everyone answered. And although it seemed like he was not afraid to cause her pain or discomfort, it did seem like he would not cause her any real damage¡At least not until her children were born. Then there was the woman¡Chantel, with her fake displays of care and friendship, faux offers of trust. Her insistence that she eat, giving her the box, which contained ¡°Draven¡¯s journals" and photos of him supposedly in the months following her leaving him, apparently distraught. it was telling on so many levels. They wanted a rise out of her, some kind of show of emotions. That much was obvious¡so that was what she gave them. The rise. Now she needed to know why they wanted that rise? And What in fact did they need with her? Was she here to hurt Draven? ? It was obvious to her that Draven was important to this equation. It was also obvious that they were hoping to pull on her heartstrings towards him. Also, her children had something to do with all of this. For them to know who she was, where she was, have those pictures of Draven and his personal effects to give her meant One, it was very important to them for her to have some kind of emotional attachment to him. And two, that they had been watching them --both her and Draven since before they broke up to know and most importantly three, Draven had a traitor in his midst. ? One thing was true¡no one could be trusted here. And they had gravely underestimated her.? |

Re: High Moon Tales. Tales of the Wicked West.
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý[Sicilien] Finally within the confines of the cave, the bounty hunter was the first to dismount, quietly dropping to the ground as he threw the reigns over the horn of the saddle, gently cradling the horse's head as he patted down her muzzle.? His smile dropped away, however, as he walked to the opening, resting his elbow against the stone as he flicked his hat up.? Looking to the horizon, his eye scanned the land below them, trying to ascertain whether there was any other danger incoming, but aside from the passing horde of undead that had clearly left them behind, it seemed to be largely peaceful.? For now, anyway. "Well, this may not be ideal, but it'll do.? Could be worse.? Seems like weather is inclined towards rain.? At least we'll have some cover," Sicilien said, mostly to himself, but yet loud for everyone else to hear.? Hand reaching inside his coat, he fished out and lit a cigarette, taking a nice long, well deserved drag on it, letting out a satisfied sigh.? He turned back to look at the rest of his group just as the barrier that Flynn put up had waned, flickering, altogether disappearing as whatever magical well Flynn was pulling from ran dry.? Not that he could fault the man.? After all, it was thanks to him that they have remained hidden even with the undead licking at their heels.? "Right, well, we oughta take to advantage of this while we can.? Someone should scout the cave and make sure it's safe, and see if maybe there's some wood we could salvage for a fire.? Going to be a cold night...and long.? One of us should see if we can hunt someth'n down to skin and eat.? I volunteer to do that, so long as someone guards the cave till I get back.? What say you, good folk, hmm?" ?? Etienne? Etienne was quiet, her heartbeat rapidly. Her eyes slowly showing the emotion she was feeling even though she was trying desperately not to show it. She stood just at the mouth of the cave. Not quite in but not quite out either.? Of all the places... Sicilien was speaking...what he was actually saying she couldn¡¯t hear. Her fear wouldn¡¯t let her focus. ¡°I¡¯ll fine food,¡± she said moving away from the cave.walking away from them.? Callie Carson Callie took Flynn to a corner of the cave away from the others and got him comfortable with a bedroll and some blankets. She held him for a while and stroked his head while humming a song her mother used to sing to her when she was a child. She was working her way up to providing him something else to relax and give him the good thoughts he needed to continue his rest when she looked up and saw Etienne tell Sicilien and the others she was going to look for food. She walked off away from the cave and to Callie's chagrin, no one followed her. ?? "For Christ's sake," she muttered. She got up and rested Flynn's head on her bedroll, then kissed his cheek. "Back in a few minute, luv. I need to see where Etienne is off to. No one else seems to be paying attention to her." ?? Callie strapped on her guns and put her hat back on before heading out the mouth of the cave to find where Etienne went... (Flynn)? The sound of Callie's soft humming was soothing, seeping into the pookah's dreaming and filling it with visions of quiet comfort and safety. It was a song of hearth and home, and Flynn's mind conjured up image after image from his past and from the pasts of others.? It was a nurturing dream, a restorative dream, not as powerful as one of passion or adventure might have been, but he could feel the glamour slowly rising back up within him. He felt the the presence of one of the group - Etienne? - rise up and move away.? The thought troubled him, but he could do nothing but push it aside and hope that Callie, who seemed to be going after her, would be able to steer her back before she ran into one of the creatures seeking the group.? For now, replenishing his reserves of magical essence was vital and so he focused on that and that alone, letting his consciousness flow even further into the dreaming. ?

Re: Raconteur City: Mountaintop Creamery (Cho, NPC Autumn)
(Cho) He noticed as the other woman left.? He was looking when this woman fell into his lap.? He caught her easily and he wouldn't have expected it so he was completely thrown off as he looked into her eyes.? "Well gorgeous...I would have said they were delicious, till you dropped in. Now they are completely subpar." He found himself licking his lips as he shivered as she was delectable indeed but didn't smell monstrous?so for the moment he was relaxed.? "Can I get you something, Ice Cream, Sundae, Me?" he couldn't help it trying to be charming and outgoing for once not feeling like a hunter at all for the moment.? He realized he had yet to let her go as well all but pulling her into his lap instead of onto her feet. (Autumn) "Hm, all those things sound so inviting, but you sounds best of all.? Tell me, what is your favorite time of year?" She asked as she brushed her lips along his cheek and gave him a little peck, before whispering into his ear, "I hope you say Autumn," then she giggled as she moved herself around to settle even more into his lap and slipped her arms around his neck.

Re: The Trouble Begins (Katya and Ashton)
(Katya) Katya gave Ashton a smile, "no, I do not need to tell you about my business.? I can assure you that there are no humans being trafficked out of my warehouses.? As Angelo said, he tipped everyone off at the docks.? Not just my business.? So the humans are being moved through someone elses."? She gave him a sigh as they started to drive away.? She knew he wouldn't understand her business.? It was a vampire business, not a human trafficking business. ? Then he through out the words trust.? "Really, trust.? You don't trust me?? Seems we both have some secrets and well, that is part of life, especially ours."? She didn't say anything else, just watched out the window as they drove to their apartment. |

Re: Port Vega: Meet & Greet Dinner (Posting Order: Aurora, Mara, Lightening Rod, Photon, Random NPCs)
(Mara) Once Jordie and Liza introduced themselves, then promptly sat down, it was Mara's turn.? The snake-like woman rose up, pushing the chair back with her foot, brushing her bangs back with a clawed hand, opening her mouth to speak when Misty skulked in, voicing her embarrassment at being late, afterwards silently sliding into a free seat.? She knew that the weather girl was going to get an earful for this later, having not only broken one of Aurora's foremost rules on always being prompt, but also interrupting the introductions.? But it was none of her business so she spared it no further thought. "Within these grounds, my name is Mara.? Outside of the walls, I am Sandtooth, though I do employ several other monikers.? I specialize in stalking, subterfuge, and when the situation calls it, assassination," Mara explained, crossing her arms as she looked over the newcomers again.? Everyone was certainly sitting at attention, though the blond-haired young man at the very end seemed especially intent on looking at her.? The way his dusty blue eyes glazed over spoke volumes to Mara whose own turquoise-colored orbs settled over his.? Her tongue darted out a few times, sampling the air, her lips curving into a knowing smirk.? The boy was giving off mixed signals, equal parts enthralled and afraid.? Now, wasn't that interesting...Mara's eyes darted to look at Aurora, then just as quickly looked away.? "My powers include shapeshifting and poison.? You will never know I'm there unless I want you to, and I am always watching.? That is all." With that, she settled down, crossing her legs again, reaching for a glass of water.? The information she had gained was definitely going to be useful.? Mara knew that Aurora would understand her look.? Interesting indeed. (Lightning Rod) It took Roddy a few moments to recover after Mara had introduced herself.? The brief glance she'd favored him with had left him left him feeling like he'd been weighed and found... not completely wanting. The intensity of her eyes though sent an involuntary shiver straight down his spine that somehow ended up in his balls - but only after passing through his bowels and making him think he was about to shit himself. "Hi," he finally managed, standing up to address the others.? "I'm Lightning Rod.? I... make things attract electricity.? The longer I focus on something, the more electricity is gonna zap it.? Normally I'd give you a demo but doing it indoors is kind of risky."? He glanced at Mara and felt the need to sound more impressive.? "I've done some jobs for the local Chechen mob," he went on, smirking as he added "Knocked this one flying chick who was giving them problems right out of the sky.? Fried her sorry ass pretty good." With that, he sat down quickly, wondering if he'd impressed the snake-woman. And wondering what he'd do next if he had. (Raine) He arched his eyebrow at his would-be lover. He frowned even though it was hidden as he only trusted her with his secret and now, he had to trust the rest of this group. He smiled as he knew if something went wrong at least he would get to kill them. He hadn¡¯t caused a head to pop with microwaves for a while now. Only for her would he do something even remotely close to this. He listened to her give instructions as he listened to everyone's abilities, he was too much like his father for his own good already plotting how those there could be best used for their skills and abilities. Jordie was clearly a techie that would come in handy for all of them. The first thing he needed was to make all members of this group disappear. Effective to not be traced. He knew Liza¡good with calculations. He had worked with her a couple of times to turn his allowance into a large some which currently made washing money a bit easier as they made it roll through enough shell and legit corporations for it to be squeaky clean. They had worked with Mara enough times to trust her and be aware of her, he couldn¡¯t sneak up on her simply because she was sensitive to heat. But he wasn¡¯t without his abilities in keeping an eye on her as well. He too was ever watchful, he had trust issues go figure. Lightning Rod he wasn¡¯t sure about, but he did keep track of him and noticed the visual interaction between him and Mara. ¡®Was he trying to impress her? Good luck with that pretty boy.¡¯ He thought, knocking someone out of the sky versus a shapeshifting assassin¡yeah. ¡®You are the weakest link¡bye Felicia!¡¯ He didn¡¯t crack a smile which he would have laughed had it been Brandon introducing himself to knock him down yet another peg, but that was a family thing. ¡°Raine, Body Transformation/Energy/Electromagnetic Spectrum for those of you not familiar with your physics anywhere from Infra-red to Ultraviolet.¡± He said simply he didn¡¯t have anyone to impress all of those people were elsewhere he was his own person now¡no matter how much he missed them. (Aurora) Aurora noticed that Raine hadn¡¯t lifted his face shield like she had asked.? She would address it later with him.? She wasn¡¯t one to scold him in front of the others.? She looked at Devi who simply shook her head, so she moved on. ¡°Now, that everyone who wished to introduce themselves have we will move forward.? I am able to manipulate and magnetize metal.? If you are wearing or have something metal in your body, I can use it to my advantage.? That is my main power.? I have a couple of others, but for now I will keep those to myself.? Let dinner be served.? Please feel free to talk among yourselves and ask any questions you wish of me.¡±? With that she gave a wave to a person standing at the door and within minutes food was brought in on trays. Devi stood up and walked to Aurora.? She whispered in her ear and Aurora nodded.? With that Devi simply left the room then the premise.? Aurora would explain if any of them asked. (Jordie/Liza/Misty) The three spoke among each other after Aurora spoke and the food was being placed in front of them.? Misty was sure that Aurora wasn¡¯t going to be happy with her being late and the other two were trying to convince her to go and speak with their boss before she had time to think it over.

Re: Port Vega: End of the Beginning. (Gen, Kites, Mia, Kat, Brandon, NPCs)
(Brandon) Brandon just listened he was stunned.? Everything¡everything in him hurt¡but his heart.? His heart was shattered into a million pieces.? He could barely breathe.? He was cold¡silent anyone that knew him, knew he was never like this.? ?At times it seems like his emotions had emotions.? He looked about the room, sure he could blame Gen had they not went to get him¡his family might still be alive at least not all of them dead at the same damned time.? Kites lied but Brandon knew because Kites loved Gen he could say nothing else.? Brandon¡¯s voice was deadpan.? ¡°You can all stay¡or go as you need to.¡±? He could only hope that would alleviate Kites¡¯ fears that he would have a place to stay or lay his head for the night.? ¡°I am sorry you had to experience that Gen.¡±? He wasn¡¯t feeling forgiving right now, but no one should have to witness that kind of horror. ¡°Ms. Macamber.? I was in¡¡±? There was a pause to clear his throat and his chest, right now he was devoid of tears.? ¡°¡I was in Ireland¡¯s room all night you can check my bracelet and security cameras, for confirmation.? At the time of the incident, I was with Kat and didn¡¯t leave till 11 pm of which the security cameras will vouch for that as well.¡±? He was sure that would take care of Kat¡¯s Alibi as well.? ¡°I need to survey the wreckage, I need a site analysis and I want access to the preliminary report.? I will be in Chor¡ My office making phone calls.? We have less than 12 hours to get ahead of this in the newspapers.? ?I need to get PR on the line, yesterday.¡±? He paused and turned to Mia, he spoke to her gently he knew she was getting closer to Ireland, he touched her arm.? ¡°Yes, Mia we are all suspects initially, give your alibi to Ms. Macamber and you will be free to stay or go.? I have somethings I need to take care of.? You all have your communicators.? I will call should I need anything.¡±? He was dying inside.? He walked by Kat and kissed her cheek but it was nearly devoid of emotion, only the trembling of his lips told that anyone was there and that he wasn¡¯t a robot.? He swallowed but turned to stand in front of Ms. Macamber.? ¡°Is that satisfactory for you?¡±? Sure, this was all his now and he was in charge but it would still require her security clearance.? Since he had the most to gain he was the prime suspect.? The problem was he didn¡¯t want all of this¡he wasn¡¯t ready¡? ¡®Time waits for no one!¡¯? He was never one that was good at coping he was generally one extreme or the other¡this was the other! (NPC Macamber) The security officer turned to Mia, her expression professionally neutral.? "At the moment, we do not yet know if this was an accident.? Until such time as we determine that it was, we have to proceed with the assumption that it was the result of hostile intent.? And that everyone is a suspect.? And a potential target.? As for the door being locked," she went on, "we are currently conducting a security sweep of the facility. Once that is done, the door will unlock and everyone will be free to leave." Turning to Brandon, she said "We are sorry for your loss, sir, but it is premature for you to be assuming control of the Chord organization.? There are protocols and procedures to be followed, the two most important of which are finding Mister Chord's will and clearing you, as a possible heir, of any suspicion in his demise.? We will be moving as quickly as possible to carry out both of these actions, and we ask for your patience in these matters." Macamber then looked to Kites.? "As for what will happen to the rest of you, you will, as I said, be free to leave once the security sweep is completed.? You are all welcome to stay in the rooms you have - or had - in the facility.? Which frankly I would recommend, given the possibility of hostile intent.? We can protect you here.? But elsewhere, our ability is far more limited." Looking to the group as a whole, the security officer asked "Does anyone else have any questions?" (Gen) Gen let herself be held, enclosed within the comforting cover of Kites' wings.? She rested her head against his shoulder, willing herself to gradually stop weeping and become something resembling calm.? As she did so, she listened to the things being said in the room.? When the security officer mentioned the possibility of "hostile intent," something stirred in her memory, but her thoughts were still too jumbled and distracted to focus on it.? So, she pushed the niggling aside and looked up at Kites. "Can... can I stay with you?" she whispered.? "I don't want to go back to the lighthouse just yet. And they probably don't want me there anyway while they're investigating.? But I don't want to be alone either.? So, can I stay with you?? Just for a while?"? It was hard for the androgyne to keep from trembling, which made her cling instinctively to the winged youth.? "Please?" (Kites) Though the woman's voice was calm and neutral, matter-of-fact-like, it did nothing to alleviate Kites' anxiety which seemed to be holding at an all-time high.? Maybe Brandon's alibi would hold, as would the evidence of the cameras that heavily peppered the facility, wouldn't that also make him a prime suspect?? He didn't exactly have an amicable conversation with Chord after he flew back, having stormed out of the office in a bit of a temper tantrum.? Neither Ireland nor Kites had really seen eye to eye, their first meeting having been just the right amount of explosive reciprocity, though more so from Ireland than from the winged youth who simply stood and took it like a coward.? How long ago was that?? Gods, were they to be in this room until all of that was soused out?? What happened to being innocent until proven guilty? "One last question, Ms. Macamber.? Are we all supposed to tell you where we were and what we did before this happened now, or will we be called to speak about that individually?" Kites asked, though he suddenly regretted it.? Did this make him suspicious?? He was thinking back to the all the investigation shows that he watched back at the orphanage with the others.? The suspects were almost always called into a barren room and grilled for all their worth.? Was this going to happen to them too?? Kites looked around himself.? Everyone was a wreck.? Mia was the most stoic of them all, trying to keep it together though even then she couldn't hold back her tears.? Kat was simply blank and silent, though he could feel the stress just emanating from her.? Brandon looked like an absolute wreck, having been the closest to Chord and co.? The man must be housing a storm of emotions churning deep inside.? But more so than anyone, Kites was most worried about Gen who was clinging to him for dear life. "What kind of a question is that?? Do you even need to ask?? Of course, you can stay with me," Kites warmly answered, looking back at the androgyne as his lips just even so slightly curled up.? He pressed her closer to his chest, using the other hand to gently caress her cheek, moving the stray hairs out of her eyes and face, bending down to place a soft, chaste kiss upon her forehead.? "Always.? Did you think I was going to chase you away or something?"? Right now, more than anything they all needed comfort, Gen, Mia, Kat, Brandon.? All of them.? So, he was going to start with Mia since he did kind of snub her at the entrance of the room. "Sorry, Mia.? I uh...was a bit of an asshole there.? Hug?" the winged youth called out to the elementalist, opening one wing and smiling at her invitingly.? "Kat, Brandon?? I mean, I'm no mother hen, but my wings are warm." (Mia) Mia had spent the afternoon at the local pier with Ireland and her other brother, Raine she things was his name.? Then they were back here and then everyone was gone.? She was trying to remember where she was, but she had been here, in the facility all night.? First, she responded to Brandon and Ms. Macamber, ¡°I have been here since Ireland and I returned after learning about Gen¡¯s attack.? I am sorry for your loss, Brandon.¡±? Then she looked at Kites when he spoke to her, ¡°you were distracted, I wouldn¡¯t call you an asshole.¡±? She let out a sigh and let her guard down.? She crossed the room and accepted the hug from him.? She even returned her own genuine one.? As she stepped out of the embrace she said, ¡°thank you.¡± And then sat next to him and Gen.

She was working her way up to providing him something else to relax and give him the good thoughts he needed to continue his rest when she looked up and saw Etienne tell Sicilien and the others she was going to look for food. She walked off away from the cave and to Callie's chagrin, no one followed her. ?? "For Christ's sake," she muttered. She got up and rested Flynn's head on her bedroll, then kissed his cheek.

Re: Raconteur City: The Summoning (Pyp, Kutsuki)
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý(Second attempt - first one didn't appear) [Kutsuki] "Ha ha, very funny.? Maybe you should take up comedy," Kutsuki retorted, crossing his arms as the hellion changed back to his usual, impish self.? "You'd think you'd know that, seeing as you feel the impetus to invade my head.? Now hurry the fuck up.? I haven't got all day for your circus act to end."? Tapping his foot impatiently, the white haired, pale faced youth crossed his arms, glaring at the demon as Pyp changed shape again, this time into a non-descript male.? Had Kutsuki met this likeness anywhere else, he wouldn't have spared him a single glance, much less than grace his presence upon the young man.? Somehow he felt very disappointed, though why, he did not know.? It wasn't worth thinking about it any further.? "Very well, that'll do.? Now, let's go." Kutsuki opened the door of his basement dwelling, starting to ascend the stairs, the imp following close behind, until Pyp used that term to describe Isolde.? He whirled about, stepping down once as he loomed over his would-be protector, eyes blazing.? Were he a dragon, he'd be breathing flames. "Listen, you piece of shit.? I don't ever want to hear you speak that word again.? Do you understand?" the summoner hissed, scowling.? "Now, I will let this pass for now, but if I hear that curse rolling off your tongue, I swear I will cut it out myself."? The last person that he wanted to be associated in that way was Isolde.? It made his skin crawl just thinking about it.? Feeling goosebumps line his skin, Kutsuki turned back and stomped back up the stairs, locking both doors to the basement and then headed out, the demon at his heels, as he locked up the house.? Once in the sunlight however, the youth squinted, feeling blinded.? He reached into the inner lining of his jacket and produced a pair of expensive looking sunglasses, replacing his normally tintless frames back inside, looking back at the imp.? Sighing, he rubbed his temples in irritation.? Time and time again this hellion tested his patience, and he was trying but failing to keep him from crawling under his skin. "Look, I know you get your jollies by causing a maximum amount of chaos with the minimum amount of effort, but do try and control your urges, hmm?? There will be no spiriting away or the changing of tongues.? I don't need you giving yourself, and by extension me, away to her at first meeting," Kutsuki said with exasperation.? He needed to be careful with how he voiced things, but it seemed the imp was always one step ahead of him, always one upping him in a play of words.? Starting to walk towards the bus stop, the summoner continued.? "You are thus expressly forbidden from using any sort of powers or casting forbidden magicks in her presence.? You are simply there to observe and make sure she stays away from me, physically.? Ugh, just the thought of interacting with her is making me want to vomit."? They were about halfway to the stop when Kutsuki froze in place, realizing something.? They would still be safe in a crowd...right? "Wait, you can teleport, can't you?? We can avoid taking the bus if you bring us somewhere close within the city, say, a bathroom or something isolated," Kutsuki stated, feeling quiet pleased with himself.? Why not make the demon prove his usefulness beyond just being a general nuisance.? "Isolde may be in the area, but even if she senses something, she shouldn't be able to tell from where.? And it'll be faster." (Pyp) Miming drawing an invisible notepad and pen out of his jacket, Pyp pretended to take notes.? "The G-word is henceforth banned, no spiriting away, and no screwing around with language capabilities.? Got it."? The now-plain-looking demon sighed and mimed adding two more notes.? "And no using any powers or forbidden magicks in her presence.? Physical force only.? Got it."?? "Perfectly good waste of my talents if you ask me," the demon said as he?tucked the imaginary notepad and pen away.? "But since you're not asking me, I'll just have to grin and bare it."? He grinned with manic brightness and suddenly all of his clothes were gone and he was standing there naked, just long enough for Kutsuki to notice.? Then he was just as suddenly back in the forgettable attire he'd had on before.? Before his white-haired summoner could object, Pyp held up a finger to ward off the expected protest.? "We're not in her presence yet, so powers and magicks are still allowed." "Certainly,?Eraisama," the demon said cheerfully at Kutsuki's request.? He closed his eyes for a moment, concentrating on something, then nodded to himself as he opened them again. "There's a downstairs bathroom at the club that'll be more than suitable for your purposes.? And it's currently unoccupied so we'd best move swiftly." "Brace yourself,?Eraisama," Pyp warned as he conjured a sphere of black and purple magic to appear around the two of them.? There was a brief feeling of disorientation, of weightlessness and movement, and then it was gone.? The sphere disappeared and all was darkness around them.?? "Hmmm," the demon mused.? He snapped his fingers and overhead an array of fluorescent?lights flickered on, revealing a bathroom that looked like it hadn't been used as such in years.? Stacks of cardboard boxes of varying sizes hinted at its now being used as a storage room.? He looked back to Kutsuki and shrugged.? "Well, it's not exactly the foyer but we're here." Tag - Kutsuki |

Re: Port Vega: End of the Beginning. (Gen, Kites, Mia, Kat, Brandon, NPCs)
(Mia)
[Kites] Though the woman's voice was calm and neutral, matter-of-fact-like, it did nothing to alleviate Kites' anxiety which seemed to be holding at an all time high.? Maybe Brandon's alibi would hold, as would the evidence of the cameras that heavily peppered the facility, wouldn't that also make him a prime suspect?? He didn't exactly have an amicable conversation with Chord after he flew back, having stormed out of the office in a bit of a temper tantrum.? Neither Ireland nor Kites had really seen eye to eye, their first meeting having been just the right amount of explosive reciprocity, though more so from Ireland than from the winged youth who simply stood and took it like a coward.? How long ago was that?? Gods, were they to be in this room until all of that was sussed out?? What happened to being innocent until proven guilty? "One last question, Ms. Macamber.? Are we all supposed to tell you where we were and what we did before this happened now, or will we be called to speak about that individually?" Kites asked, though he suddenly regretted it.? Did this make him suspicious?? He was thinking back to the all the investigation shows that he watched back at the orphanage with the others.? The suspects were almost always called into a barren room and grilled for all their worth.? Was this going to happen to them too?? Kites looked around himself.? Everyone was a wreck.? Mia was the most stoic of them all, trying to keep it together though even then she couldn't hold back her tears.? Kat was simply blank and silent, though he could feel the stress just emanating from her.? Brandon looked like an absolute wreck, having been the closest to Chord and co.? The man must be housing a storm of emotions churning deep inside.? But more so than anyone, Kites was most worried about Gen who was clinging to him for dear life. "What kind of a question is that?? Do you even need to ask?? Of course you can stay with me," Kites warmly answered, looking back at the androgyne as his lips just even so slightly curled up.? He pressed her closer to his chest, using the other hand to gently caress her cheek, moving the stray hairs out of her eyes and face, bending down to place a soft, chaste kiss upon her forehead.? "Always.? Did you think I was going to chase you away or something?"? Right now more than anything they all needed comfort, Gen, Mia, Kat, Brandon.? All of them.? So he was going to start with Mia since he did kind of snub her at the entrance of the room. "Sorry, Mia.? I uh...was a bit of an asshole there.? Hug?" the winged youth called out to the elementalist, opening one wing and smiling at her invitingly.? "Kat, Brandon?? I mean, I'm no mother hen, but my wings are warm."

Re: The Door Between Two Worlds [Roue and Rabbit] (closed)
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý[Roue] "W-wait, my ankles too?" Roue exclaimed as his lover fastened his legs to the other two bed posts.? Now he could still move his body, but only twist and turn, his actions mainly limited to straining his body upwards but not much anywhere else.? He strained against his bonds, testing them, but there was no breaking out of them.? The elf was a wizard, not a fighter.? Punching someone in the face was possible though he'd probably break his fingers in the process, and that would hurt.? Plus, Roue was the one who gave Rabbit the idea of tying himself down, so he had to pay the price for his humorous hubris.? "Try and keep still?? Ha ha, I'll be lucky if I can move at all." Indeed the elf was going to swallow those words.? Closing his eyes, Roue tried to focus on the way his lithe lover's body pressed against his, those cool hands roaming all over his body, leaving little icy trails everywhere.? Oh, and that sweet, sweet tongue.? He craned his neck, giving Rabbit more access to the flesh there until the vampire moved on, teasing the rest of his body, causing his stomach to recede at the touch.? Each time that that mouth descended on his body felt like heaven, causing him to arch up when this lips reached his nipples, sending shocks through the body as the elf hissed at the sensation.? Until Rabbit went to town on his armpits that is.? Roue broke out into a peal of uncontrollable laughter, trying to get away but failing to do so, holding onto his bonds with a white knuckled grip.? That is until Rabbit finally stopped, disconnecting, giving the wizard just a few seconds of reprieve as he tried to catch his breath. "Now that...now that...oh Gods, that wasn't fair at all," he gasped, chest heaving, as he tried to gain some semblance of control.? But Rabbit would not relent.? There was that fabric again, sliding against his body, replaced by Rabbit's hands where it had roamed.? Lower and lower, until the vampire's fingers glided over his length and lower still, till the pale youth cupped his ball sack.? It felt good like that, to have them played with, till suddenly this great feeling of constrained tightness took over.? "What?" He couldn't believe it.? Nobody's done that to him before, not even when the na?ve elf was then a mage, when his raging hormones were at their highest.? This was different.? And there was that feeling of jealousy again.? Burying his head in the crook of his shoulder, Roue tightly shut his eyes as Rabbit descended upon his shaft, hissing.? His hips snapped up, wanting to take more of the vampire's mouth, but Rabbit pulled away, grinning like the devil himself. "N-no, please...I want to feel you around me," the elf begged, trying to turn more towards his lower.? "Please...don't tease me for much longer." (Rabbit) "You want to feel me around you?" Rabbit teased, his eyes glinting impishly as he moved to straddle Roue's hips.? Hovering over the elf, the little vampire proceeded to suck on two of his own fingers, coating them with his saliva, and then reaching behind himself where he then used them to prepare his pert bottom for imminent penetration.? He then took his lover's still slick and urgently hard cock in hand and guided to the tip to rest at the entrance to his boi-hole.?? "You mean, like _this_," Rabbit murmured, gazing intently into Roue's eyes as he pressed his hungry butt downward, slowly but steadily impaling himself along the elf's shaft, cooing as his tight little ring was spread wider and wider to accommodate?Roue's thickness, until finally his round little butt was resting firmly on the elf's pubic bush.? Concentrating, he squeezed the elf's length within him, sending coaxing ripples up and down the hot invading shaft. The little vampire began bobbing his hips up and down over Roue's pelvis, slowly at first, fucking himself on his lover's aching erection, but keeping his face right over the other youth's.? "Do you l-like this?" he whispered, planting teasing little kisses all over his lover's face.? "Do you?? I bet you wanna c-come in me, huh? Like, real bad?"? Rabbit grinned mischievously? as his self-fucking speeded up, pressing down even harder to get as much of Roue's deliciously hard cock inside him as possible with each stroke. "Such a pity that you can't cum like this," he teased with mock-sympathy, reach back to cup the elf's silk-restrained genitals, patting Roue's swollen balls playfully even as more cum was building up inside them.? "Do you want me to let you loose?? If you ask me nicely, I _might_ be willing to."? The little vampire's voice was growing husky, his eyes beginning to glow a dull red.? "Maybe."?? Tag - Roue |

Re: Whispers in the Dark - Scheherazade, Callum
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý(Kirstene/Scheherazade) Scheherazade Was freezing. Her body shivering to the bone. She tried several times to get out of the shower and she could not. The was was just so cold...just as bad as scalding hot water every time she tried, the water burned her skin leaving bruise. ?Through the shower she could see the figure¡¯s ghostly outline. ¡°Please,¡± Sam whispered. The water seemed to blast her colder...harder. ¡°Please,¡± the young woman begged. But received not reprieve. She didn¡¯t think she could take much more of it when suddenly the shower door opened and Brunson reached in pulling her out. She shivered in his arms and he carried. her teeth chattering loudly. her body shaking violently almost like it in the night she arrived in the rain and Jamie has been savior. Scheherazade didn¡¯t hear anything Branson had said to her for all she could hear was the sound of her own heartbeat pounding ferociously in her ears right before her pretty green eyes rolled to the back of her head and she passed out. Kirstene frowned when the man came to save the wayward soul of her sister. She could have stopped him but she wanted her to suffer a bit before everything came to a head. Except the last person she expected to see was Jaimie although she wasn¡¯t surprised. ¡°ye always did take her side didna Jaimie. But in the end where did that ye.¡± She smirked in contempt disappearing. The water turning warm as she left. (Branson, Jaimie, Callum) Branson kept Scheherezade covered up as he lay her on her bed, then found two additional blankets in the nearby cupboard and draped them across her as well.? She was unconscious, but her breathing was normal.? Probably just the shock, he thought.? "I'm going downstairs and get some hot tea or broth or whatever there is to be had," he said softly.? "Not to worry.? I'll be back in a jiff."? He then hurried out, closing the door quietly behind him. Jaimie, unseen by the man as he left, looked up despondently at the ceiling, gazing beyond it to the high tower where Kirstene's presence could be felt.? "That insae fair, Mistress Kirstene," the young ghost said plaintively.? "Ah didnae wantae tak' a' body's side.? Ever.? Bit th' three o' ye wur a carriage heading fur a cliff 'n' ah coudnae stoap ye, na maiter howfur muckle ah tried." "Is she alright?" a voice behind Jaimie asked suddenly.? He did not need to turn.? He knew the voice and could feel the Callum's presence the moment the lord appeared in the room.? "What happened?? Ah could feel something amiss the moment I returned to the castle." "She is a'richt, m' laird," Jaimie replied.? "She juist hud a shat masel.? Th' cooncil juice wis..." he hesitated, not wanting to tell the truth "...uncommon cauld, is a'.?

He looked to the sleeping Scheherezade with longing.? "Ah want to see if ah can help her... remember." The young ghost hesitated, but finally ducked his head in obedience.? He had misgivings but there was nothing he could do.? "Aye, m'laird," he murmured awkwardly before disappearing from the room. Tag - Kirstene/Scheherazade Translations of Jaimie-speak:? "That is not fair, Mistress Kirstene.? I didn't want to take anyone's side.? Ever.? But the three of you were a carriage heading for a cliff and I couldn't stop you, no matter how much I tried."

Re: Port Vega: End of the Beginning. (Gen, Kites, Mia, Kat, Brandon, NPCs)
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý(Kites) The woman didn't even seem to acknowledge him at all, which felt odd to Kites, tapping away on her tablet.? It wasn't till everyone arrived - Mia, Brandon and lastly, Kat - that she looked up and greeted everyone, opening the conference room and stepping in only after everyone else walked in.? Kites quickly scanned the room, his eyes landing on none other than Gen slouched in the chair, shivering like a mouse.? His heart first skipped a beat, but then a cold wave of relief washed over him and his hand involuntarily placed itself against his chest, fears diminished.? Gen...was safe...she was safe, but why was she here?? He glanced at Kat but she seemed just as confused as he was.? The silence of the room was deafening until the woman with the tablet locked the door and then moved to head of the room.? And then the truth and reason as to why they were all summoned so early was revealed. Kites' blood ran cold, his pupils contracting as he heard the awful news, just like everyone else did.? Chord was gone...so was Harrison and Ireland.? Just like that.? How was this even logically possible?? It was only the other day that they argued who was right or who was wrong on how Gen's situation was handled.? Neither reached an agreement on the matter, simply parting ways and that was that.? However, Kites never felt more vindicated than he did in that moment.? Half of him was horrified but the other...? the other side of him was elated so much that he had to hide his mouth with his hand, the corners of his mouth curling up.? Something must be wrong, not just with the situation, but with himself.? But this is something he'd had to examine later.? Now was not the time.? The recounting of yesterday's events was painful to listen to, even more so seeing as how Gen had to relive it again.? Kites had seen many of her emotions - happy, angry, needy, wanton, stubborn - but he had never seen her sad, her tears streaming down her face.? It was heart breaking.? It no longer matter how it looked like or what anyone else may have thought of him in that moment, or perhaps silently judged him for it.? He fell right to her side, crouching down as his hands reached up and gently cupped her face, thumbs wiping away the torrent of tears. "Shhh...hey, hey, Gen...look at me," Kites whispered, tilting her chin so that he could look into her eyes.? The hidden smile wasn't there anymore.? It fell away when his hand did.? "This is not your fault.? You didn't ask for this...you didn't ask for any of it.? Come here..."? Standing up, he gathered the androgyne into his arms and sat back down, holding her tight against his chest as he perched her on his lap, wings wrapping around them to hide her from view.? There was nothing else that he could do or say that would make this better, so he didn't.? At the very least, he hoped that it would bring her some semblance of comfort, if that was even possible right now. ?"Ms. Macamber," Kites said after a bit of silence, swallowing, lowering his wings enough to show himself, but still keeping Gen well wrapped within their embrace.? "I-I know that you will need time to investigate this...situation, but... what happens to us in the meantime?" (Mia) Mia wondered why Kites hadn¡¯t responded to her, she was trying to be civil.? She was about to ask if he was okay when Brandon came running up demanding to know what was going on.? Then Kat arrived.? The woman in the suit suddenly acknowledge them and let them into the briefing room.? Everyone took seats, but what got Mia more curious was the fact that they were suddenly locked in the room.? Why? Then the woman introduced herself and started to inform them as to why they were there.? She couldn¡¯t believe what she was hearing and a few tears rolled down her cheeks as she listened to Gen recount what happened.? Then Kites comforted Gen, but then asked about what happens to them.? Really? That¡¯s what he is concerned about, them.? She just shook her head.? This was all too much; she couldn¡¯t handle this.? So, she focused on something else, ¡°Why did you lock us in?? Are we suspects in this accident?¡± (Brandon) Brandon just listened he was stunned.? Everything¡everything in him hurt¡but his heart.? His heart was shattered into a million pieces.? He could barely breathe.? He was cold¡silent anyone that knew him, knew he was never like this.?? At times it seems like his emotions had emotions.? He looked about the room, sure he could blame Gen had they not went to get them¡his family might still be alive at least not all of them dead at the same damned time.? Kites lied but Brandon knew because Kites loved Gen he could say nothing else.? Brandon¡¯s voice was deadpan.??¡°You can all stay¡or go as you need to.¡±??He could only hope that would alleviate Kites¡¯ fears that he would have a place to stay or lay his head for the nite.??¡°I am sorry you had to experience that Gen.¡±??He wasn¡¯t feeling forgiving right now, but no one should have to witness that kind of horror. ??¡°Ms. Macamber.??I was in¡¡±??There was a pause to clear his throat and his chest, right now he was devoid of tears.??¡°¡I was in Ireland¡¯s room all?night you?can check my bracelet and security?cameras, for?confirmation.??At the time of the incident, I was with Kat and didn¡¯t leave till 11 pm of which the security cameras will vouch for that as well.¡±??He was sure that would take care of Kat¡¯s Alibi as well.? ??¡°I need to survey the wreckage, I need a site analysis and I want access to the preliminary report.??I will be in Chor¡ My office?making?phone calls.??We have less than 12 hours to get ahead of this in the newspapers.???I need to get PR on the line, yesterday.¡±??He paused and turned to Mia, he spoke to her gently he knew she was getting closer to Ireland, he touched her arm.??¡°Yes Mia we are all suspects initially, give your alibi to Ms.?Macmber?and you will be free to stay or go.??I have?somethings?I need to take care of.??You all have your communicators.??I will call?should?I need anything.¡±??He was dying inside.? ?He walked by Kat and kissed her cheek but it was nearly devoid of emotion, only the trembling of his lips told that anyone was there and that he wasn¡¯t a robot.??He swallowed but turned to stand in front of Ms. Macamber.??¡°Is that satisfactory for you?¡±??Sure this was all his now and he was in charge but it would still require her security clearance.??Since he had the most to gain he was the prime suspect.??The problem was he didn¡¯t want all of this¡he wasn¡¯t ready¡??¡®Time waits for no one!¡¯??He was never one that was good at?coping he?was generally one extreme or the other¡this was the other! (NPC Macamber) The security officer turned to Mia, her expression professionally neutral.? "At the moment, we do not yet know if this was an accident.? Until such time as we determine that it was, we have to proceed with the assumption that it was the result of hostile intent.? And that everyone is a suspect.? And a potential target.? As for the door being locked," she went on, "we are currently conducting a security sweep of the facility. Once that is done, the door will unlock and everyone will be free to leave." Turning to Brandon, she said "We are sorry for your loss, sir, but it is premature for you to be assuming control of the Chord organization.? There are protocols and procedures to be followed, the two most important of which are finding Mister Chord's will and clearing you, as a possible heir, of any suspicion in his demise.? We will be moving as quickly as possible to carry out both of these actions, and we ask for your patience in these matters." Macamber then looked to Kites.? "As for what will happen to the rest of you, you will, as I said, be free to leave once the security sweep is completed.? You are all welcome to stay in the rooms you have - or had - in the facility.? Which frankly I would recommend, given the possibility of hostile intent.? We can protect you here.? But elsewhere, our ability is far more limited." Looking to the group as a whole, the security officer asked "Does anyone else have any questions?" (Gen) Gen let herself be held, enclosed within the comforting cover of Kites' wings.? She rested her head against his shoulder, willing herself to gradually stop weeping and become something resembling calm.? As she did so, she listened to the things being said in the room.? When the security officer mentioned the possibility of "hostile intent", something stirred in her memory, but her thoughts were still too jumbled and distracted to focus on it.? So she pushed the niggling aside and looked up at Kites. "Can... can I stay with you?" she whispered.? "I don't want to go back to the lighthouse just yet. And they probably don't want me there anyway while they're investigating.? But I don't want to be alone either.? So can I stay with you?? Just for a while?"? It was hard for the androgyne to keep from trembling, which made her cling instinctively to the winged youth.? "Please?" Tag - Kites, Mia, Brandon,?Kat, Gen, NPC Macamber,? Note:? This is actually my second attempt to write this post.? My first one was zapped by my system just when I'd almost completed it and I had to do the whole thing over.? :( |

The certainty of that welled up inside him, coalescing into a single at the corner of his reptilian eye. Without thinking, he closed his eyes and caused the tear to fall gently onto the sleeping girl's open lips. A sudden weariness came over him and the Dragon's head slowly drooped until it lay protectively across Mikayla where she lay in the crook of his arm.?

He caught her easily and he wouldn't have expected it so he was completely thrown off as he looked into her eyes.? "Well gorgeous...I would have said they were delicious, till you dropped in.

Re: Port Vega: Meet & Greet Dinner (Posting Order: Aurora, Mara, Devi, Lightening Rod, Photon, Random NPCs)
??
(Aurora) Aurora watched as everyone took their seats.? She gave Mara a smile then, ¡°I believe everyone is present...no, where is Misty?¡± With that she stood up.? ¡°Good evening and welcome to the Benders of Light headquarters.? As you all know, I am Aurora.? This is Photon, my second.? Please, lift your face shield and take a seat.? This is Jordie and Liza.? This is Mara.? I would like the others to please introduce yourselves.? First, Jordie and Liza may speak.? I wish for you all to tell what your abilities are.? I will reveal mine afterwards.? Jordie, Liza.¡±? Aurora sat back down to let the others have the floor. ? (Jordie/Liza) The couple stood.? ¡°I am Jordie.? I am the Benders of Light computer geek.? I have eyes that read faster than a normal human, which is why I wear sunglasses most of the time.? If you need something found or something to disappear from the net, I can make that happen.? Liza.¡± ? ¡°I am Liza, as mentioned, I handle all of the financial aspects of the program¡¡± ? (Misty) Misty came walking rather quickly into the dining room.? Her suit was a calm blue color, ¡°sorry I am late¡¡± She stopped talking as soon as she realized that there were others standing.? With an embarrassed smile she quickly and quietly took her seat next to Jordie¡¯s, as she caught the disappointment look from Aurora. ? (Liza) Liza continued, "I am able to acquire many things in the financial systems.? I work with Jordie...I really don't know what else to say." With that, the two sat back down. ? [Mara] ? Once Jordie and Liza introduced themselves, then promptly sat down, it was Mara's turn.? The snake-like woman rose up, pushing the chair back with her foot, brushing her bangs back with a clawed hand, opening her mouth to speak when Misty skulked in, voicing her embarrassment at being late, afterwards silently sliding into a free seat.? She knew that the weather girl was going to get an earful for this later, having not only broken one of Aurora's foremost rules on always being prompt, but also interrupting the introductions.? But it was none of her business so she spared it no further thought. ? "Within these grounds, my name is Mara.? Outside of the walls, I am Sandtooth, though I do employ several other monickers.? I specialize in stalking, subterfuge, and when the situation calls it, assassination," Mara explained, crossing her arms as she looked over the newcomers again.? Everyone was certainly sitting at attention, though the blond haired young man at the very end seemed especially intent on looking at her.? The way his dusty blue eyes glazed over spoke volumes to Mara whose own turquoise colored orbs settled over his.? Her tongue darted out a few times, sampling the air, her lips curving into a knowing smirk.? The boy was giving off mixed signals, equal parts enthralled and afraid.? Now, wasn't that interesting...? Mara's eyes darted to look at Aurora, then just as quickly looked away.? "My powers include shapeshifting and poison.? You will never know I'm there unless I want you to, and I am always watching.? That is all." ? With that, she settled down, crossing her legs again, reaching for a glass of water.? The information she had gained was definitely going to be useful.? Mara knew that Aurora would understand her look.? Interesting indeed.
(Lightning Rod)
It took Roddy a few moments to recover after Mara had introduced herself.? The brief glance she'd favored him with had left him left him feeling like he'd been weighed and found... not completely wanting. The intensity of her eyes though sent an involuntary shiver straight down his spine that somehow ended up in his balls - but only after passing through his bowels and making him think he was about to shit himself.??
"Hi," he finally managed, standing up to address the others.? "I'm Lightning Rod.? I... make things attract electricity.? The longer I focus on something, the more electricity is gonna zap it.? Normally I'd give you a demo but doing it indoors is kind of risky."? He glanced at Mara and felt the need to sound more impressive.? "I've done some jobs for the local Chechen mob," he went on, smirking as he added "Knocked this one flying chick who was giving them problems right out of the sky.? Fried her sorry ass pretty good."
With that, he sat down quickly, wondering if he'd impressed the snake-woman. And wondering what he'd do next if he had. ? ? (Raine)? ?He arched his eyebrow at his would-be lover.? He frowned even though it was hidden as he only trusted her with his secret and now he had to trust the rest of this group. He smiled as he knew if something went wrong at least he would get to kill them. He hadn¡¯t caused a head to pop with microwaves for awhile now. Only for her would he do something even remotely close to this. ? ?He listened to her give instructions as he listened to everyone's abilities he was too much like his father for his own good already plotting how those there could be best used for their skills and abilities. Jordie was clearly a techie that would come in handy for all of them. The first thing he needed was to make all members of this group disappear. Effective to not be traced. ? ?He knew Liza¡good with calculations. He had worked with her a couple of times to turn his allowance into a large some which currently made washing money a bit easier as they made it roll through enough shell and legit corporations for it to be squeaky clean. ? ?They had worked with Mara enough times to trust her and be aware of her, he couldn¡¯t sneak up on her simply because she was sensitive to heat. But he wasn¡¯t without his abilities in keeping an eye on her as well. He too was ever watchful, he had trust issues go figure. ? ?Lighting Rod he wasn¡¯t sure about, but he did keep
track of him and noticed the visual interaction between him and Mara. ¡®Was he
trying to impress her? Good luck with that pretty boy.¡¯ He thought, knocking
someone out of the sky versus a shapeshifting assassin¡yeah. ¡®You are the
weakest link¡bye Felicia!¡¯ He didn¡¯t crack a smile which he would have laughed
had it been Brandon introducing himself to knock him down yet another peg, but
that was a family thing. ¡°Raine, Body Transformation/Energy/Electromagnetic Spectrum for those of you not familiar with your physics anywhere from Infra-red to Ultraviolet.¡± He said simply he didn¡¯t have anyone to impress all of those people were elsewhere he was his own person now¡no matter how much he missed them. ?

Re: Blood Feuds: Trying to Survive (Anais, Vincent, Chantal)
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý(Chantel)When Anais said something about her name, Chantel simply nodded. She wasn't going to argue anymore with the lady about it, and simply asked, "what name do you wish to be addressed by here?" She watched Anais' reactions to the photos and the journal and was not surprised by her throwing them into the fire. With a shrug she said, "just wanted you to know was all. Not trying to do anything. As for penning him, I can suggest it to Vincent. I am going to leave you for now. Do you wish for me to remove the tray of food?" Anais ¡°My wishes have not and do not seem to have any bearing on what is done concerning me so what name you call me matters not.¡± ?Anais said. ¡°I don¡¯t care what you do with the tray.¡± She whispered? Turning away from the woman, Anais walked back to the balcony doors to look out.??Anais felt her heart race. She was shaking. It was obvious that Chantel was lying to her about trust. ?Stupid her. One thing was obvious though, if Chantel had to suggest anything to Vincent then she was quite delusional when she said she work with him. _ |

Re: Blood Bonds: Getting to know Paris (Draven, Nicolete)
(Nicolete) Nicolete had to admit she was surprised when Draven did not follow her up to her room to join her and for a relaxing soak. She had thought he felt the sexual tension between them just as much as she did and thought she had made her insinuation quite clear. But I maybe she wasn¡¯t his type. She thought as she poured the heated scented water on her skin. She¡¯s been lying to herself she didn¡¯t she was disappointed. Indeed she had hoped the chaste kiss upon his lips had intrigued him enough to join her. But alas... ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Around midday there was a firm but insistent knock upon my Draven¡¯s hotel room door. (Draven) Draven had been sleeping well when the knock came at the door. It took him a little bit to wake up and realize what the sound was.? He put a robe on over his naked body before going to the door. "May I ask who is there?" He had learned along time ago to ask before opening the door.? Tag: Mystery knocker |

Re: Blood Feuds: Trying to Survive (Anais, Vincent, Chantal)
(Anais) Anais frowned at the woman. "My name is Evangelise. Two of my brothers call me Evie. So, Evie is indeed my name. Maybe you should take the time to do more extensive research on your prey. But then again, as I am just?a pawn in this whole charade, I doubt it really matters does it." Anais watched her as she walked to the door. When it opened she tried to peer out onto the other side as much as she could. Quietly, she listened to the woman say?Draven was in Paris.?? Hesitantly she took the box. ?Anais frowned as she looked inside the box,?examined the items that the woman gave her?Anais frowned deepened and her fingers clutched the journal so tight her knuckles turned white. Smoothly Anais stood and threw the entire box, journal and all in the hearth. Then she turned to the woman but she did not move. ¡°I pray we are done with these theatrics. What did you hope giving me that would do? Make me cry and pine for him. I care not about the deeds, days, and of Lord Draven Phillips. What I do care about is your endgame. So if the only Reason why I am here is to bring Draven to you, then please bring me pen and paper so that you can notified the poor distressed man pining so desperately for his lost betrothed just how close I am so that he can come to you and I can be on my way.¡± (Chantel) When Anais said something about her name, Chantel simply nodded. She wasn't going to argue anymore with the lady about it, and simply asked, "what name do you wish to be addressed by here?" She watched Anais' reactions to the photos and the journal and was not surprised by her throwing them into the fire. With a shrug she said, "just wanted you to know was all.
