Re: Whispers in the Dark - Scheherazade, Callum
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý(Jaimie) "Ah dinnae ken, Mistress Arowyn," Jaimie said, feeling more than a bit awkward that a lady of the castle should be asking him such a personal question. But he knew why she was asking and so did his best to answer.? "Ah wish she wid blether tae ye. 'n' tae Master Callum.? Maybe she she speaks to me 'cause ah'm nobody and she does'nae have tae worry herself 'bout what ah might think or say."? The lad shrugged and continued blacking the boot he was working on.? "Ah've heard it's a common thing 'mongst the lairds 'n ladies to voice their thoughts 'round their servants.? It's like, y'know, we're the furniture or somewhat.? We sit and we listen and we try to offer comfort." He frowned, then looked alarmed, blurting "Long as it's not above our station to do so, m'lady." The young Scot tried to focus on the boot he was working on.? The thoughts in the back of his mind though were hard to put off.? He couldn't give full voice to them without speaking completely out of his depth and his station, but.... "Mibbie she needs tae git awa' fae 'ere fur a bawherr.? Lik' somewhere else?" Jaimie suggested cautiously, his gaze averted, trying to sound casual.? "Mibbie juist th' two o' ye?? 'N' Laird Callum kin bade 'n' guide th' estate?? She micht fin' her wey tae open up tae ye then."? And, he thought silently, maybe the distance might keep the both his lord and the lady Arowyn from falling into the folly he feared they were drifting toward.?? ?- Kirstene/Scheherazade/Arowyn - Arowyn frowned at his words. ¡°Ya really think we see ya as furniture Jaime?¡± She said nibbling on her bottom lip in worried contemplation. ¡°I certainly dona,¡± she said ?¡°and I doona think Callum or Krissy do either. Ye be family Jaime.¡± She said reaching for his stopped hand.? She smiled a soft friendly smile as she squeezed.? But at his words, Aroywn clapped her hands in glee. ¡°Jaime that is a wonderful idea. We should go away. Get her away from the sadness here. I will go talk to Callum about it right now.¡± Jumping up she hugged him and kissed his cheek. ¡°You are a genius.¡± She said leaving to find Callum.? Tag |

Re: Port Vega: End of the Beginning. (Gen, Kites, Mia, Kat, Brandon, NPCs)
(NPC Macamber) The security officer was listening to Kites and then to Brandon with one ear but was also paying attention to the earpiece feeding her information in her other ear.? After a moment she turned to address Kites.? "That will not be necessary.? Certain... precautions... taken by Mister Chord have allowed us to determine your whereabouts over the last several days as well as any person or persons you might have had contact with.? Enough so that I can now say that none of you are under any immediate suspicion.? We will continue to review the data as we widen our search, but as of now you are all free to go."? The door to the room clicked as it unlocked and opened just slightly. Looking the group over as if satisfying herself of something, she finally nodded and added "Though I do recommend that you stay in the facility for your own safety.? We finished the security sweep and the building has now been cleared." ? Looking to Brandon, Macamber went on.? "PR is working on a press release but is holding off inquiries with a generic non-statement for the time being.? We are working as swiftly as possible to have the will read and processed, but it appears that the terms your father set out require both you and your brother - Raine? - to be present.? We are attempting to locate him but unfortunately, we do not have the same resources to find him that we did for tracking you.? If you know where he can be found, we would appreciate anything you could tell us." ? "That is all for now," she said, once again addressing the group as a whole.? "I will be in the Security offices for the time being as we pursue our investigations.? If you have any further questions, you can contact me there." She hesitated a moment, then added in a business-like tone "Again, I'm sorry for your individual losses.? You were important to Mister Chord and the organization will not forget that."? With that, she turned and exited the room. ? (Gen) Gen relaxed a bit when Kites held her and assured her that she could stay with him.? "Thank you," she whispered, hugging him instinctively.? After a few moments, she collected herself, wiping her tears away, feeling very self-conscious with the others in the room around her and Kites.? "Sorry," she mumbled to no one in particular as she stood up. The androgyne watched as Macamber left the room.? The words "hostile intent" kept nipping at the back of her mind.? There was something there, something important, something she needed to remember.? Something she'd seen?? Heard?? Sensed somehow?? But what?? If she thought about it long enough, maybe it'd come to her. ? "I'll go with you, whenever you're ready, Kites," she said quietly, staying close to his side.? "I think I need to lie down for a bit... to try and get my head back together."? She looked around apologetically for her vagueness.? "I know I know something.? I just don't know what it is." ? (Kites) Kites was glad that Mia was receptive having realized that he has bit a bit cold towards her, not just today, but before also.? They can hash out their feelings later though.? Right now, more than anything, everyone needed some comfort, maybe even space to process things.? No one was prepared for this, not even Brandon who so stoically held in his emotions.? It didn't help that that he now became the defacto leader.? The level of pressure that was suddenly placed on Brandon's shoulders was not something that Kites could even begin to sympathize with.? But that was not something he wanted to think about.? Macamber said that they could go, so Kites twined his hand with Gen's and pulled her to him as they headed out of the conference room. ? "Thank you, Ms. Macamber," the winged youth said to the security lady, but just before the door shut behind them, Kites froze when he heard her mention Raine.? It couldn't be, could it?? How many Raine's were there at this place?? He only knew of one, the man who was gracious enough to advise Kites in his moment of need.? Could they be the same person?? The Raine he knew didn't mention anything about a brother.? Then again, he knew nothing about this stranger who just so happened to be on the roof same as him.? Curious, but not something that he felt was so urgent to take his attention away from Gen. ? When they got to the communal space, Kites pulled Gen into his embrace as he held her to his chest, then spread his wings and flew up to the second floor, pressing on the door panel which recognized him and opened the door.? Once inside, he carried her to the bed and gently laid her down, placing pillows behind her back and neck for support. ? "Can I get you anything?? Would you like some tea, juice or water?? Perhaps a sandwich or two?" Kites asked as he sat down on the edge of the bed, his hand going up to move a few stray hairs off of Gen's face, then cradled her cheek, his thumb idly rubbing over her cheek.? "If you prefer, you could just sleep and I can busy myself with something else...? Unless you want me beside you that is..."? His cheeks flushed, though he no intention of suggesting anything remotely beyond just comfort cuddling. ? (Brandon) Brandon was totally at a loss.? He had to go and put things together.? He was not in charge officially but he had to just make things run.? He wanted to go to see Kat, just hold her he wanted to make sure he checked on Mia.? He wanted them to be more at first sure, but he wasn¡¯t¡that type.? He got it perhaps he was too thirsty.? He smiled briefly thinking about how attractive the redheaded woman had been to him and yet.? He wanted her to happy with Ireland.? He was feeling the pain and rage as everything in the room vibrated going from zero gravity back and forth so quickly.? ¡°STOP!! I don¡¯t have time for this Sh¡¡± He breathed as he was going to have to wait for the reading of the will¡but it was either him or some outsider.? He had no idea what Mr. Chord¡his father. ? He was his father, the best-damned father, and mother Harrison there ever was.? But right now¡in this moment he needed to be Mr. Chord he couldn¡¯t handle him being his father right now or he would have to deal with the pain and loss of the moment.?? He moved to look around, he checked the monitors he could see the conference room still and everyone was gone.? He saw Mia still sitting there.? He had left her to deal with work.? ? ?He called on the phone since she was still sitting there.? He didn¡¯t want to put it on the intercom and startle her.? If she picked up the phone he would respond.? ¡°I need to see in Mr. Chord¡¯s office.¡±? If she didn¡¯t he would send her a text message.? He was only calling to be more official. ? ?He breathed blinking back the tears that he didn¡¯t have the time for.? He now had to boss up and just do.? He didn¡¯t have the time for the emotionalness that had up to this point plagued his life. ? He hated that he had to lose his family to truly grow into his own.? He wanted to smile when he thought of Ireland, she was his first love and his best friend and now she was gone!? His soul hurt with that knowledge the chance to never be to her what she had been to him. ? ?He said down at his father¡¯s computer the password was easy, the man loved his family each of his bad assed children.? So when he got in he picked up the phone and called PR and told them to put whatever spin they needed to put on to things to keep the ship afloat.? He then had to check that all the contracts were done and in place.? Some of them would have to be closed and denied.? He wasn¡¯t his father he didn¡¯t have the grey matter in place and now he couldn¡¯t even fall back on Ireland for tech know-how.? So somethings would have to come to an end based on finances.? He would have to find or hire another head of R&D if he wanted to keep that leg going. But in the meantime what was currently working would have to be.? He wanted a life of his own, he never truly wanted to helm this ship, but he would be damned if he lost or gave up on his father¡¯s legacy.? He could be the man they saw in him¡someday!?? Right now he would simply have to be the man the company and the team needed.? He would deal with the emotional fall out later. ? ?He looked at the phone once more, the one in his hand, then the one on the desk.?? He was dreading making the other call, he honestly didn¡¯t want to do it. ? He despised Rain for some bullshit reason, being picked on when he was younger then feeling like he was betraying his father and his legacy.? Now all of that seemed, piss poor on his part¡sure they were on opposite sides of the law, but he was family and now¡now he needs to tell him that they were all gone and it was just the two of them.?? He loved Ireland just as much, loved Harrison too, but the fallout between him and father was age-old between Son¡¯s and he could only hope to have them patch up one day. ? Brandon had hoped it wouldn¡¯t be behind bars but right now¡right now he knew that it would be never and Rain now had to live with that.? He turned away from the desk phone and put the other into his pocket.? Not yet, he wasn¡¯t ready for that conversation, he would call him when they were ready for the reading of the will¡not before.? He could only hope he didn¡¯t try to call Ireland before then. ? ?He turned to look at the news with hopes he caught this all in time.? He sat on the desk pondering the vultures that would come out.? He was going to go down with this ship! (Mia) Mia had heard the phone ring, but decided not to answer it. She figured it was probably Brandon and right now he needed to concentrate on himself. She knew he was in no mood to truly talk to her. She left the conference room, then the facility. She just needed some time to think. She didn't know where she was going or what she was going to do. She just simply walked.? (Exit Mia...continues in Port Vega: What to do now?) Tag:? ?Gen, NPC Macamber, Kites, Brandon |

Re: High Moon Tales. Tales of the Wicked West.
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýSicilien] "Oh, hoho.? Me?? An asshat?? That's very rich coming from a bitch who pretended I didn't exist some days ago," Sicilien chuckled, smoothing his hair back as he took off his hat and refitted it, but as he did so, Etienne simply started walking away.? The bounty hunter growled, stomping after her as he reached out and grabbed her wrist, forcing her to whirl about and face him.? His grip on her, however, didn't loosen, not until he forced her to get back and sit onto one of the rocks, choosing to continue standing himself.? His brows narrowed as he returned the same glare that she had given him before.? "Stop playing dumb.? I know you're better than that.? You don't get to say your piece and just walk away.? So you're going to sit there and we are going to talk." As bitter and heated he was, Sicilien felt as if his heart was going to burst and his eyes became just slightly misty.? Here she was, the love of his life, his sun and stars, alive and well, if not indignantly furious with him.? For what?? Because he dared to kiss her when he saw her?? That he was happy to see her again?? The fact that he saved her once again and this is the thanks he got in return?? Go away?? Not without answers. "Why is the reaction I get when I see you for the first time in year?.? Years, Etienne.? I killed for you.? Destroyed Palenuma.? And I know what you're going to say.? You'll say that you didn't ask me for any of that, but what did you expect me to do when I held your dead body in my arms?? And yet here you are, sitting before me, wanting nothing to do with me," he spat out, each word hurting more than the next.? Sicillien's eyes began to swell up with tears as he looked at her.? Immediately, his hands flew up to hide his face, sitting down as he hunched over, resting his elbows upon his knees.? The bounty hunter only cried twice in his life.? Once when Etienne "died," and the second when he saw her again.? He didn't know if he was shedding tears now because he was just so disappointed, relieved, or both. "Why, Etienne?? Did our past mean nothing to you?? Is just yesterday's news now and we are just two strangers meeting each other for the first time?" [Etienne] As he spoke Etienne continued to walk away. Casually throwing over her shoulder. ¡°Was that your attempt to hurt Si? ?Thank you for proving my me right... big gigantic assha...,¡± his grabbing of her arm not only forced her to stop moving but it made her gasp.? Her deep expressive eyes looking straight up into his lovely ones. And she saw it! ?He was hurting her...but she knew he knew that. And by the hurt she could see in his eyes, she knew he didn¡¯t really care at the moment.? He wanted more...so much more. ¡°I do not have anything to say,¡± she whispered her own eyes misting. Her voice tight. ? it was true. She didn¡¯t have anything to say. Not because she didn¡¯t want to tell him everything, but because she couldn¡¯t tell him anything. his life depended on her just staying quiet. Especially now that he had learned that she wasn¡¯t dead. But she simply didn¡¯t have a choice. ? But the hurt and pain she could now hear in his voice...she had to close her eyes and take a deep breathe. Had to Steel her resolve.? When he cried she broke. Etienne sunk to the ground to pull him into her arms. Her own tears falling slowly and quietly down her cheeks. She held onto him, cradling his head against her ample bosom. Etienne began to sing a soft lullaby. A lullaby she would sing to their unborn child as she rocked in the rocking chair he made for her and he sat at her feet, his head in her lap. It was a sweet song about forever unconditional love the haunting sound of her alto voice swirled around them. When she was done she kissed the top of his head, Her hand gently stroking his hair.? ¡°We have to be just strangers, Si. ¡° she whispered. ¡°I know you want answer. But you have to let this go...let me go.¡± _._,_._,_ |

Re: Return of the Past-Scarlett/Tempest

I have served the leadership of our people as a soldier, a spy and at times, even as a diplomat. My current presence in Raconteur is personal...I seek to put down some roots after wandering for ages.

Re: A Pirates Life (Khadashee and Draven)
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý(Draven)Draven saw Khadashee come on deck and gave her a smile, good morning. Had too much on the mind to sleep, but yes I did rest for a few hours under the stars. How did you sleep?" He asked as he gave her a kiss. They were sailing just behind and slightly port, to the left, of Sa'id's ship so that both ships had full sails of wind. They were moving at a good speed. "Sa'id signaled earlier saying that we should reach the port by high noon today." He informed her.? Khadashee Khadashee moaned into the kiss.

Re: Blood Feuds: Trying to Survive (Anais, Vincent, Chantal)
Craig)
"Oh, I was.? But I find that asking those that I am giving a tour to, what they would like to see is much better than giving them a boring, this is this and that is that, tour." Craig said looking a little worried.
?
"I am not sure if the Master is currently available.? But if you are insisting on seeing him, I will phone him." He said with a smile, wondering what she would say next.? He really wanted to show her the gardens and let her have some full fresh air.
?
Anais
Anais smiled. ¡°Thank you so much Craig for being so nice to me. I think it¡¯s very sweet. But you have to understand It¡¯s difficult to ask for where I want to go since I do not know what¡¯s here. This is not the place I came to willingly last night. The party I went to was a small gathering at a local artist apartment in the city. When I awoke the first time I was in a room with no lights hanging from the ceiling. When I awoke the second time I was in that room upstairs you let me out of. ¡°Please understand. I am not trying to be rude or difficult? However this situation is extremely difficult for me. I have been kidnapped and am now being held against my will, so trying to find the joy in this tour is hard, especially since all I want to do is knock you over the head with something...anything and try to escape.? ¡°I am a mother,¡± she said resting her hand on her belly. ¡°And this is not the most idea situation for me. So I¡¯d rather not pretend to be a guest here when I¡¯m not. Especially when we both know any information you share with me, I will be using it for my advantage. Which is probably why your master allowed the tour. To see what I would do with the knowledge. And I just rather not play this game anymore. ¡±I¡¯m tired and over it. And I just rather speak to your master to learn what my role is to be here.¡± She said And she seriously looked tired. There were dark circles under her eyes and she looked like she hadn¡¯t slept in days. |

Re: Raconteur City: The Summoning (Pyp, Kutsuki)
[Kutsuki] Neither Kutsuki nor Isolde were prepared for what happened next.? The white haired summoner tried to step back, violently pulling back his arm in an effort to try and wrench his wrist away from her when Pyp suddenly fell right on top of her.? The action was so surprising, so shocking that when the hellion very nearly tackled her as he tripped, that she released her hold on Kutsuki's wrist as both she and "Peerson" tumbled to the floor in a tangle of arms and legs.? It took her a couple of seconds to come to as she tried to grasp what exactly just occurred.? Trying to sit up, she winced as she was met face to face with the scrawny kid. "Ugh, get off of me, you pimply-faced dweeb," Isolde spat out, grabbing Peerson by the shoulders as she tried to push him off.? However, the boy's cheeks suddenly inflated and his eyes looked at Isolde's equally horrified ones as she realized just what he was about to do.? He began heaving.? "What?!? Eew!!? Getoffgetoffgetoff..!!"? Speaking however was to her detriment as she was suddenly covered in a wave of sickly, rainbow colored puke, some of it even landing in her mouth as the patrons scrambled to get away.? As she sat there in abject horror, both the smell and taste of the sludge hit her so bad that she felt sick herself, kicking Peerson off as she got on her hands and knees, uncontrollably retching and heaving.? She felt as if her lungs were going to be on fire, helplessly waving her hands at the girls outside the shop that suddenly noticed her predicament and ran into a shop like a bunch of squawking hens. At first, Kutsuki simply stared in horror at the events that were unfolding before him.? Then, he suddenly started laughing.? At first it was a few chuckles, but the more he looked at the scene unfolding, the less he was able to control it until he broke out into a full on psychotic laugh.? This was, however, the perfect chance for them to get away.? Managing somewhat to get ahold of himself, Kutsuki reached for Pyp and gripping the imp's sleeve, ran out of the shop with his boba tea in the other hand, cackling like a madman the whole way out.? Rauly simply looked on in defeat, shoulders slumped, as he went to go fetch a bucket of water and a mop. They didn't stop running until the two reached a non-descript alley between a couple of new age stores.? Once there, the summoner let go of the hellion's sleeve as he leaned against the wall, still letting loose a few chuckles here and there. "Oh man, I totally did not expect that.? I'll give you that," Kutsuki said in-between laughs, wiping the tears out of his eyes.? It took him a few more minutes before he was OK enough to speak more, though it didn't help hide the fact that he laughed himself hard enough to start hiccupping.? Which unfortunately made him laugh even harder.? Finally, he managed to stop after a while, trying to take deep breaths to instill some sense of calm in himself.? "How did you come up with that?"? When the imp didn't answer, Kutsuki frowned at him until Pyp pointed to his mouth, indicating that he wasn't allowed to talk. "I thought you understood that to mean not to give anything away, but whatever.? You can talk now." (Pyp) The demon practically gasped when Kutsuki gave him permission to talk once again.? He favored his summoner with a look of deep annoyance.? "You gotta be careful with your words, Eraisama," he grumbled.? "Words have power. And consequences.? And if you're not careful, unintended consequences." Pyp paused a moment, glancing at the splashes of puke adorning his clothes and face.? The demon rolled his eyes and shrugged bodily, banishing the vile residue to some infernal dumping ground, and he was once again clean and neat, if still largely forgettable in his Peerson guise.?? "It's an old trick, but an effective one," Pyp said, causing a small mirror to appear in mid-air and then looking himself over.? "Disgusting but harmless enough.? It'll definitely make people back up though.? And stay back whenever they see me."? His mouth quirked slightly at the thought.? "Kind of like how people react when they see a skunk after first experiencing the spray." "So, what next,?Eraisama?" the demon asked casually, vanishing the mirror when it was no longer needed.? "Want me to find out where she lives and fill her swmming pool with live slugs?" Tag - Kutsuki |

Re: Port Vega: Meet & Greet Dinner (Posting Order: Aurora, Mara, Lightning Rod, Photon, Random NPCs)
[Mara] "You're certainly right about that," Mara answered to Aurora's indication of wrong impressions.? The boy indeed seemed to teetering on the edge, but whether it was excitement, fear or something else entirely is not something she was fully vested in finding out.? The amount of guests staying was already whittling down, so if had to admit to herself, was a bit disappointing.? Was this all the city had to offer in terms of competition?? She could easily fillet every single one of these newcomers without breaking a single sweat.? Drip poison in their food.? Jordie and Liza she was somewhat familiar with, though on a surface level at best.? But she didn't know Misty nor this young blood either.? She was sure Aurora wouldn't miss either if she ever gave Mara the command. "I suppose we shall see, won't we?"? The last part was said mainly to herself, but she knew her friend understood clear enough.? With that, she returned to her food, every now and then her eyes flicking over to the end of the table. (Lightning Rod) Roddy frowned slightly at Misty's comment that Aurora didn't like show-offs and that he should keep that in mind.? "How'm I supposed to impress her then?? Or anyone else?" The blond youth picked grumpily at his food.? "I just wish she'd start talking about what she has in mind.? And what we're likely to get out of it." He glanced up the table at where the ones who seemed to be top of the pack were sitting.? The one called Photon seemed distracted for some reason, as if chewing something over in his head that he was having trouble resolving.? Aurora and Mara, on the other hand, were carrying on some quiet conversation.? And Roddy got the distinct impression that at least part of it was about him. It was hard for him not to stare. Aurora was, he had to admit, fairly impressive.? But the snake-eyed woman unsettled him.? He got the distinct impression that she could - and would - kill him without a moment's consideration if Aurora said the word, yet he still wanted to get closer to her, to be able to gaze into those lidless eyes and get the full impact of her scrutiny.? His skin tingled all over at the very thought of it. Tag:? Photon, Aurora/NPCs, Mara |

[Kites] "Of course I want to stay by you.? You don't even need to ask twice," Kites replied, taking the hand that glided over his cheek and brought it to his lips, kissing every fingertip as he smiled.? "Food, I can do.? Just hang on, okay?? I'll make you something yummy." With that, Kites stood up as he let Gen go and then walked into the little kitchenette, standing behind the bar that separated it from the rest of the living space, yet still provided a wide view of it.? Opening the fridge and cupboards, he took out all of the ingredients needed to make the androgyne something to eat.? Some 30 minutes later, he brought out a couple of TV trays and set them by the bed, then filled the surface with several plates worth of sandwiches, deli meats, cheeses and other garnishments, things that could be used as finger foods and a large cup with juice alongside a carton in case she'd like more. "I'm not exactly a cook, but I hope this is enough.? What would you like first?" Kites asked, taking his place on the edge of the bed beside her.? He stretched his hand out to her in case she wanted some help sitting up.? He couldn't help but feel the corners of his mouth twitch into a sly smile.? "I could always feed, if you prefer."

Re: Port Vega: What To Do Now? (Mia, Open)
(Mia) Mia had heard the phone ring, she glanced in it's direction.? She really didn't want to answer it, figuring it would be Brandon, who right now had his mind else where.? He really wouldn't be any comfort to her.? With a sigh she got up, walked out of the room, to the front of the facility and out the front door.? She didn't know where she was going, she just knew that for now, she didn't want to be in there. She walked most of the evening and found herself eventually at the large estate grounds that held a banquet hall called The Nightingale.? She wondered if it was ever just opened to be opened.? The place was beautiful and she wondered about the owner. Tag: Open |

Re: Blood Bonds: Getting to know Paris (Draven, Nicolete, Trio)
(Nicolete) Nicolete chuckled as the man left. So that was the mighty Lord Draven Phillips. Well now she knew why his wife left him. She doubted even the child wanted to deal with the hot and cold temperamental melodrama.?Once he was gone, she didn¡¯t give him a second thought. (Draven) When Draven emerged from the changing room, he discovered that the Ms. Nicolete was no where to be found. With a shrug he decided he had enough of this place. He headed back inside to walk through the mansion to leave.? He was in the mood to hunt not chase some damsel who couldn't make up her mind.? He honestly didn't care.? He stepped out the front door and wondered where to go next. Tags: Trio? Nicolete?? |

Re: Blood Feuds: Trying to Survive (Anais, Vincent, Chantal)
(Anais) ¡°I was under the impression you were showing me a tour. My apologies if I misunderstood.¡± Anais said. ¡°How about you just take me to see the master. I have some questions for him. And I think I would like to ask him my questions now please.¡± She said. (Craig) "Oh, I was.? But I find that asking those that I am giving a tour to, what they would like to see is much better than giving them a boring, this is this and that is that, tour." Craig said looking a little worried. "I am not sure if the Master is currently available.? But if you are insisting on seeing him, I will phone him." He said with a smile, wondering what she would say next.? He really wanted to show her the gardens and let her have some full fresh air. Tag: Anais |

Re: Putting Doubts to Bed (Katya and Ashton)
(Ashton) He was totally weak for her, he was sorely
tempted to pull her in and partake of his love, but he realized she was very
sensual with her body and mouth, just liked he was so covered in ghoul¡yea that
was a no-no he wanted her all and completely but at present, he was by no means
worthy of her touch.? He realized this
was going to be different, they agreed to live with each other, love one another
and he was the one being distrustful and she had given him no reason.?She
always came back to him so what was the problem, she didn¡¯t need his protection
all of the time but she did need him and that was by far more important. He thought now that he and his love
had mostly made up, but the other would come later, not sure if she would
punish him for being an ass or not or would he just part take of his heart the
way she deserved.? He honestly didn¡¯t really
know how to love someone before her.? She
made his dark self just simply feel alive¡more than fighting did which made him
wonder¡ maybe after this was over.? His
heart just belonged to her. He washed three times and now a whole bottle
of his body wash was gone.? He didn¡¯t
even smell that but at least he didn¡¯t smell anything as her senses were just
as acute he was hoping he smelled clean, not like a dead body.??He dressed and went downstairs all the while
he was wondering and pondering why¡the dominoes didn¡¯t fit.? What was he missing in all of this, it had
something to do with Arrow as whatever killed him wanted to make sure he stayed
dead and left no clues to his whereabouts.?
Which made him want to reach out to Arrow¡¯s lover once more.? He pulled on his tank top and moved behind
her to kiss her neck.?Before
going to get them some wine. ¡°So what is it that I am missing?? There were just enough people at your place
for me to ¡®Save¡¯ so to speak while elsewhere another group were brought in, so
it was clearly a set up to get me out of the way¡but why and for what, then the
ghoul which means something bigger is afoot.¡±?
He needed her to help him clear up a few things. (Katya) With a smile she gladly took the glass of wine, "well, I made some calls while you were showering.? There were some clues left behind in one of my warehouses." She pulled the notepad out from under the cushion.? "There was a match book and apparently someone's finger. My people are running the print.? But the match book had the name, De Ja Vu, on it.? Does that mean anything to you?? Also, there was an indication of someone from the Rodriguez clan and the Kenji tribe there." She put the notepad down and looked at Ashton.? "Something is telling me that you have had dealing with these groups, they know you are here and they know I am connected to you.? I think they are trying to get your guard down by working my business to make you think I have something to do with this." Tag: Ashton |

Re: Raconteur City: Mountaintop Creamery (Cho, NPC Autumn)
(Cho) He found he was very disappointed in her wanting to leave his lap, but hearing her why clearly put a light smile upon his face. ?¡°I think that would be lovely.¡± He wasn¡¯t against partying in truth he probably simply needed one, one in which the weight of the city wasn¡¯t upon his shoulder.?Just time to just blow off steam and be content to live in the moment for once. ¡°Lead on my Autumn Bloom.¡± ?A part of him wished her friend wouldn¡¯t have left he hadn¡¯t had that much fun in a very long time!? But alas this lovely woman was just going to have to do¡to make him feel alive and less like a monster once more.? His hand fit in hers and he followed not minding at all the suddenness of the situation and how he should be less aware of believing that everyone was trying to kill him. (Autumn) With a smile, Autumn took his hand and walked him down the sidewalk.? She was enjoying this fun, and was even surprised by it herself.? What would his blood taste like? Everyone had different flavors, at least to a vampire.? Was it going to be sweet like the ice cream or more potent like his muscles felt like.? With a giggle she simply shook her head at her own thoughts. They walked into the front door of the motel and the clerk tossed a key to Autumn who had not trouble catching it in the dimmed light of the room.? "This way." She said to Cho as they turned to go back out the door and around the corner to the room.? She let him slip behind her as she opened the door and led him inside. She tossed the key onto the nearby table, turned to face Cho while slipping her halter top off over her head revealing a pair of nice plump ready breast.? With a smile she stepped into him, placing him up against the door of the room. Tag: Cho |

Re: High Moon Tales. Tales of the Wicked West.
(Flynn) "Idyllic," Flynn said, gazing into Callie's eyes as he ran a warm hand down her naked side.? "I would've added a touch or two..." a single songbird appeared in the branches of the nearest tree and began softly chirping musical notes, and a gentle breeze began making a gentle rustling sound as it made its way through the leaves "...but other than that I wouldn't change a thing. "I remember a poem this Persian fellow wrote," he went on, pulling her closer, entwining his legs with hers, their fronts pressed together, his arousal very evident between them.? "A book of verse beneath the bough, a jug of wine, a loaf of bread, and thou, singing beside me in the wilderness," he murmured, brushing his lips against hers.? "Such wilderness is paradise e'now."?? "Passion makes a very special kind of glamour," the pookah whispered, running his hand slowly down the outside of his lover's thigh, then drawing it back up again on the inside, till his fingers reached the edges of her sex and began tracing the outlines of her nether lips.? "It can be very powerful stuff..." he said, nuzzling her neck as he began to probe deeper.? "Let's light our little oasis here up with it, shall we?" (Callie) Callie closed her eyes and let out a faint gasp as she felt Flynn's fingers probing along her nether lips, her mind become more immersed in this magical world he'd created around them. She was aware they were laying on a couple of bedrolls in the back of a damp cave, another blanket thrown over them to keep them warm and to avoid any curious eyes from the others in the group, but she was also keenly aware of the glamour Flynn had weaved around them, creating this other world she was partially engrossed within. As he nuzzled closer, she let her hand slide down his torso, over his abdomen, until she eventually found his stiff manhood. She let her fingers wrap around the shaft and gave it a firm squeeze. As his fingers continued to push into the folds of her vagina, she slowly worked his shaft up and down as she let her lips trace along his neck. Once they'd both began stimulating one another, she felt the glamour's energy strengthen and found she was able to discern more details from this world they were creating with their minds. She felt the warm breeze of the desert blowing over them, the heat from the sun on their skin and she heard the song of the birds fluttering around them. "Powerful stuff, huh?" she whispered. "Show me." (tag Flynn) |

Re: Return of the Past-Scarlett/Tempest
Tempest Tempest was quiet as she listened to the other woman. Watched her demeanor, how she carried herself. It was true that this flaming haired beauty was as mysterious as she was attractive...but there was something about Scarlett that intrigued her well beyond her body. Tempest nodded. ¡°Indeed. Raconteur has been host to generation of the noble and the infamous,¡± the woman said taking a sip of her wine. ¡°So which are you Miss MacAleister? Infamous or noble?¡± Scarlett MacAleister The redhead smiled devilishly, "I'd like to say neither. I am not of noble blood, that's for certain. Infamous? I guess I may have made a name for myself in some circles. I have served the leadership of our people as a soldier, a spy and at times, even as a diplomat. My current presence in Raconteur is personal...I seek to put down some roots after wandering for ages. This seemed like as good a place as any." She sipped her bloodwine and looked at Tempest, "Any other curiosities I can satisfy?" (tag Tempest)

So part of deciding if I wanted to move here included a visit to see the sights. I want to be sure its a right fit for me."

Re: High Moon Tales. Tales of the Wicked West.
Etienne
[Sicilien] "Oh, hoho.? Me?? An asshat?? That's very rich coming from a bitch who pretended I didn't exist some days ago," Sicilien chuckled, smoothing his hair back as he took off his hat and refitted it, but as he did so, Etienne simply started walking away.? The bounty hunter growled, stomping after her as he reached out and grabbed her wrist, forcing her to whirl about and face him.? His grip on her, however, didn't loosen, not until he forced her to get back and sit onto one of the rocks, choosing to continue standing himself.? His brows narrowed as he returned the same glare that she had given him before.? "Stop playing dumb.? I know you're better than that.? You don't get to say your piece and just walk away.? So you're going to sit there and we are going to talk." As bitter and heated he was, Sicilien felt as if his heart was going to burst and his eyes became just slightly misty.? Here she was, the love of his life, his sun and stars, alive and well, if not indignantly furious with him.? For what?? Because he dared to kiss her when he saw her?? That he was happy to see her again?? The fact that he saved her once again and this is the thanks he got in return?? Go away?? Not without answers. "Why is the reaction I get when I see you for the first time in year?.? Years, Etienne.? I killed for you.? Destroyed Palenuma.? And I know what you're going to say.? You'll say that you didn't ask me for any of that, but what did you expect me to do when I held your dead body in my arms?? And yet here you are, sitting before me, wanting nothing to do with me," he spat out, each word hurting more than the next.? Sicillien's eyes began to swell up with tears as he looked at her.? Immediately, his hands flew up to hide his face, sitting down as he hunched over, resting his elbows upon his knees.? The bounty hunter only cried twice in his life.? Once when Etienne "died," and the second when he saw her again.? He didn't know if he was shedding tears now because he was just so disappointed, relieved, or both. "Why, Etienne?? Did our past mean nothing to you?? Is just yesterday's news now and we are just two strangers meeting each other for the first time?" [tag Etienne] |

Re: What Lies in the Heart. Mikayla/The Dragon
?- Mikayla - Mikayla smiled. ¡°I hope it was a good dream if I was in it.¡± She said. She had had an extraordinary dream herself. ¡°No I am not injured. And I will help Angus clean. Would you like some breakfast?¡± (The Dragon, Angus) "It was," the Dragon said wistfully, a deep sonorous sound.? "It was a very nice dream.? Or at least it felt like one." He frowned, the scales over his eyes contracting into ridges.? "I have trouble remembering the details of my dreams.? I was in a room somewhere.? It felt familiar, like I'd been there before.? And it felt like part of the keep..."? he gestured with his head at the surrounding walls and beyond "...but there is no such room here.? It is most puzzling." "Breakfast would be... lovely," he said after a moment.? "But I'm afraid that would be a lot of work for you, given the amount of food I tend to consume.? It might be better if I just went hunting and then came back." He glanced at her hesitantly before adding "And perhaps afterward we can resume your work with the spellbook?"
