Re: High Moon Tales. Tales of the Wicked West.
Chase
Chase rested in the dark, letting the lovers have their time together. ? He reflected on his own lonely past and basked in the fact that this would all be over soon...not soon enough? ?When Flynn and Callie came back from their tryst that he could hear, damn his heightened senses. ? He didn’t look up as Flynn questioned him, he continued to sharpen his blade as that was his only comfort now. ?“Do I really have a choice?? Stop the evil or let the world go to shit further.? Whenever you all are quite ready we can go.” ?He said calmly devoid of any true emotion.
When Etienne returned without her man and was still well dressed he pondered but said nothing.? He would speak to her in a bit, if she allowed, but even he could smell the tears. ? He felt bad that she was hurt for whatever reason, lovers spat but still, he didn't want her hurt regardless.? Honestly, this was one mission he would be glad would be over…none too soon!
?
?“So did you…um refuel?” ?He glanced up at Flynn briefly, but looking towards the cave entrance waiting for Sicilian to return shortly.
Callie Carson)
?
Callie finished buttoning the last button on her shirt as Chase spoke. She looked up at him and cocked a smile, "He's fully recharged. My work here is done."
?
The redhead then looked over at Etienne, relieved she was OK after she'd briefly disappeared outside. "Gave us a scare. Stay close," she asked, with a faint smile. "I think we're about ready to continue on toward Miller's Crossing."
Flynn)
?
The Pookah couldn't help but smile himself at Chase's question and Callie's cheeky response.? "Yeah," he said, gathering up his gear.? "If I was any more refueled, I'd be lit up like Bourbon Street at Mardi Gras and shootin' out glamour every which way."
?
Looking around the cave, Flynn saw Callie and Chase nearby, and Etienne hovering just inside the entrance.? He frowned slightly, giving the cave another look around. "Where's Sicilian?? I'm ready to go but we gotta be together.? Especially if'n we take the route I'm thinkin' about takin'."
[Sicilien]
?
The bounty hunter eventually made his way down back to the cave, briefly hesitating when he saw Etienne resting against the entrance to it.? His eyes flickered for the smallest of moments but then he went inside as if nothing ever happened, though he mood was rightly foul.
?
"Sorry to keep you all waiting," Sicilien said, sitting down against a rock as he sighed and looked around at everyone.? He smelled of smoke and gunpowder, which was nothing unusual for him, but the scent was much stronger this time around, and when his fingers shifted on the inside of his coat, he grumbled when he felt the cigarette pack had become much lighter.? Peaking inside he could only count 5.? Fuck.
?
"I'm ready to leave this place anytime.? It's time we moved on anyway."
Etienne
She didn't want to go anywhere with these people. She didn't want to do this anymore. She just wanted to sleep. Being here, in this moment...being force to relive all the pain she felt without Sicilien again with Sicilien and have him not care...or at least she felt like he didn't care...or maybe he just cared too much. She didn't know. As the others began to speak, Etienne stepped back to rest her back against the wall outside the cave. She looked up at the stars. It was a beautiful night.?

Re: Blood Feuds: Trying to Survive (Anais, Trevor, Juliet)
(Juliet/Anna)
"Oh, okay..." Anna said then paused and looked towards the window. She gave her mom a kiss on the cheek, then climbed off of her lap. "I hope you get back home, Evie. I have to go and take my bath now." And just as quickly as the child had ran into the room, she ran out.?
?
Juliet looked to Anais at that point, "her father had been calling her." She said to clarify how the child knew. "Is there anything we can provide for your journey home?" She asked with a smile.?
(Anais)
Anais smiled as the little girl ran out of the room. "Your daughter is adorable." Anais said. "And she loves you dearly. You have a very lovely family." She said. Anais looked back at the woman...Juliet. "Thank you so much for being willing to help me. The only thing I need...I mean...if you can... please...I just need to have a ride back into the city?"

Re: What Lies in the Heart. Mikayla/The Dragon
(The Dragon, Angus)
Before leaving, Angus filled a cup for Mikayla and set it before her, leaving the tray within easy reach so she could add whatever she wished to suit her taste. He also brought out the dragon-sized cup, saucer and spoon that Mikayla had magically crafted earlier on a separate cart, leaving it within the dragon's reach. He then turned away discreetly and attended to cleaning up a different part of the room, far enough away to allow them some privacy.
The Dragon sat back on his haunches, picked up the teacup in one claw and began stirring it with the spoon in the other, frowning as he did so.
"I never did thank you, did I? For this?" he said suddenly, his deep voice sending a rumble through the stone floor. He continued to stare at his tea, not looking up. "At least, certainly not enough." Setting the spoon down, he took a long sip from the cup. "This... this reminds me that I was human. That part of me still is, inside at least. I forget that sometimes." He looked over the rim of the cup, his eyes meeting Mikayla's for the first time. "I ask your forgiveness."
- Mikayla -
Mikayla was quiet while Angus set up tea. She had already said enough to him. Enough that angered him and sent him on a nice tear. The problem was she couldn’t remember what she had done or said...Other than the cow/people comment that is, but it was something.
“There is no need for forgiveness,” Mikayla began as she slid the tray to her so that she could add sugar and honey. “We are still learn each other. I’m sure once the awkwardness fades we settle quite nicely.” She said picking up her own tea cup.
“And don’t thank me just yet. I am quite bossy and i have several plans to make quite a bit of changes to this place,” she said with a teasing smile over the rim of her cup”

Re: Port Vega: A Private Reunion (Gen, Kites)
[Macamber]
The security officer took the vial, regarding it uncertainly for a moment, then slipped it into her jacket pocket. "I'll have our lab people check it out and see what they can tell us." She then turned her gaze on Gen and Kites, though it was the androgyne who seemed to be getting most of her interest. "You are just full of surprises, Ms. Gen. I can see why Chord took an interest in you. And why your creators dearly want to get you back."
"I'm going to go ahead and contact Brandon and Mia and try to get them to return to our facility. If what you found turns out to be something, then it's not safe out there for anyone. Especially Brandon, as Chord's most likely heir." Rising from her desk, she gestured to the door to her office. "You two can go, but please don't attempt to leave the facility. We can protect you while you're here, but until we know who or what we're up against, we can't protect you if you're anywhere else."
[Gen]
Gen nodded to Macamber, then rose, her hand still holding Kites'. "Thank you, Ms. Macamber. We'll be staying here as you request." She glanced at Kites, a brief question in her eyes but left unspoken. She reluctantly let go of his hand as they left the room.
"I'm sorry you got dragged into this, Kites," she said quietly as they walked down the corridor, heading back to the living areas. "But I'm not sorry you're here," she added, looking up at him. "Is that selfish of me?"
[Kites]
"I'm not either. Sorry that is," Kites responded, noting the clear lack of Gen's hand in his own. They stopped by the elevators as he pressed the button to go up, looking back at Gen. He really wished he was there when that incident happened, when Gen was all on her own and having to witness the three most important people to this facility die right in front of her eyes. It made him curl his hands into his fists, letting the nails bite into his palm as he inwardly bristled. The threads that had come unwound between him and the others was not something he'd ever be able to braid back. Not when they were all dead. He sighed. Once the elevator doors opened, they stepped in, and the metal box ambled its way up as that light loss of gravity kicked in.
When they finally made it back to the living area's common room, Kites suddenly pulled Gen into his arms, wrapping the androgyne's legs around his waist as he walked them back until Gen's butt was firmly planted on the table by the window, letting his arms slide down his lover's back.
"There's nothing to feel selfish about. I want to by your side, always. Where else would I go?" Kites echoed with a bitter smile, looking out the window. "Back to the church orphanage? I've no place there anymore." The image of Sister Josie floated up to the forefront of his mind, but he pushed the thought away. Though he held no higher level of feelings for Josie than his foster sister, it somehow felt odd to suddenly have to think about her right now. Kites looked back at Gen, thumbing her cheek as the other slid up her thigh, squeezing it with reassurance. "Is it selfish that I want to have you all to myself?"

Re: Port Vega: Meet & Greet Dinner (Posting Order: Aurora, Mara, Lightning Rod, Photon, Random NPCs)
(Lightning Rod)
Roddy frowned at Aurora's seeming dismissal of his charms and his chances. And at being told he was being sent to "learn", with the barely veiled warning that failing to learn would mean his rejection from the Benders.? He wondered briefly if she was telling them that this Delphine who apparently ran the Night's Elegance only liked women, then shrugged the thought away.? No reason to not at least _try_ to see how far he could get.
"Okay, Boss Lady," he said, stretching his arms and then standing up at the table.? "I'll head over to the Elegance and see what your Delphine wants me to do. And see if she can actually teach me anything."? The fresh-faced youth looked to the others at the table, grinning cockily and sparing them a collective nod.? "Nice meeting you all.? I guess I'll see you in two weeks. Who knows?? Maybe I'll be running the place by then."
(Photon)
Rain seemingly ignored it all even though he could hear everything, change the frequency and he focused on just making himself useful.? His mind was drifting as he still hadn’t heard from his baby girl and that had him worried now.? She would at least send him something, he thought they had a good day together and he even tried to make nice with her new girlfriend.? What more could he do to try to make amends with the other love of his life?? No, he wasn’t Brandon, but he loved her too, just not like that.? She was the one part of the family that still made him try with ‘Father’.? He hated that he could never measure up and that Brandon was the apple of his eye.??
He was always a pain in his ass because of it.? Maybe he would go by and see him…and hope he didn’t try anything stupid like try to arrest him.? He still kept an eye on Harrison and he enjoyed seeing that ‘Mom’ was happy.? He loved being invisible at times.? Most of his family thought he didn’t care…he did just in his own way.? He was not going to be ruled by them or their ideas and now he was free…for the most part, some were family other were... He eyed Roddy, wanted to push him in front of a bus, but still everyone wouldn’t be friends in family, right?
He watched her stand looking like his dream, a smile crossed his face it looked like he was really enjoying his dessert, but he was thinking of her.? Just the thought of her made him smile.? With that she shut the meeting down.? Each one spoke in turn, even loud mouth that couldn’t…or didn’t want to figure out that Del wasn’t into men.? ‘He wanted to be the one to set her straight?’? He laughed, ‘maybe if Roddy failed Aurora would let him, keep the balloon as a pet? He was funny.'? “No Madame, no questions.”? He said finishing his dessert and wiping his lips as he looked at her from behind his mask. He was still in costume and was looking forward to getting out of it.
(Aurora/NPCs)
Misty, Jordie, and Liza all indicated that they didn’t have any questions. Misty was a little bit peeved at this Roddy now. She thought he at least had a decent head on his shoulders, but clearly thought he was God’s gift to women, any woman.? Well, she hoped that Del would send him packing or at least caused some misery to him when he would try and turn her on. What was wrong with me, she thought to herself. She was willing to give him the time of day, in fact just for fun she glanced at her watch, “it’s 7:00.” She said it more or less just out loud to anyone who was listening, but more to Roddy to indicate that was available…ever more so than Del would be.
“Very well, Lightening Rod, report to Del at 3:00 pm tomorrow. You are welcome to stay here tonight if you wish, we do have a guest room. The rest of you are free to do as you wish for tonight, we will have a meeting tomorrow at noon.” With that she took Photon’s hand, “come, we are finished for the night.”
[Mara]
"Thank you for such a delicious dinner, Aurora," Mara wistfully said, looking back at the piles of dishes that she was leaving behind.? If there was one thing she enjoyed whenever she saw her friend was the feast that she put on every single time.? The snake woman was not a cook by any means and had absolutely no drive towards that particular skill anyway, though she could fillet a human quite nicely for consumption.? Her eyes glinted as she looked at her at her claws, then shrugged and bid everyone a good night.? "Have fun...Roddy.? Try not to lose both of your heads tomorrow."? With that she laughed, letting out a breathy sort of hiss as she stalked out of the mansion and into the courtyard.
The night was beautiful and the moon was full, it's yellow cheese face giving off a silvery light.? Stretching her hands to the sky, Mara letting out a satisfied sigh and then hopped into one of the trees, finding a comfortable branch to straddle as she laid down.? Sure, she always had a room inside Aurora's place, but why bother with the sheets and stuffy blankets when it was so nice and cool outside, and the soft breeze wafted through the leaves?? Indeed, she nodded to herself as she settled down to sleep, being outside was just the ticket to sweet dreams.

Re: Raconteur City: The Summoning (Pyp, Kutsuki)
(Pyp)
"As you command, Eraisama," the fresh-faced demon replied, bowing to his summoner in seeming acknowledgement but with more than a bit of a smirk. But when he stood up straight again, Pyp was completely naked. And with Kutsuki's toe now resting on the warm smooth skin of his bare chest. "I will speak while leaving nothing hidden."
"I'm not considered one of the more important or powerful demons. I don't rule over any particular part of Hell, let alone an entire circle. I don't have any hierarchical title." The demon made no move to touch his summoner, but left Kutsuki's toe where it remained. A strange, pleasantly seductive heat seemed to flow from the demon's skin though, slowly flowing over the young summoner's toe, enveloping first the foot and then seeping upwards along his leg.
"What I _do_ have..." Pyp's grin grew wider as he went on "...is a reputation. A reputation for being one of the most annoying beings in any circle of Hell. And one of the hardest to get rid of. That may not sound like much, but you have to understand what Hell is all about. Hell is about making eternity a misery for whoever ends up there. And I'm _very_ good at making other beings - human and otherwise - miserable. Because I have something most demons lack - imagination."
"I've already told you the most important rules about what I can and cannot do. For example, I can't harm a mortal unless they're attacking you or me. That does _not_ however mean that I cannot massively inconvenience them. Like, say, transporting them to a barren glacier in Norway." Pyp snapped his fingers and the room suddenly shimmered around them. The bed, with Kutsuki on it, was suddenly on a barren wind-swept ice-sheet extending in all directions to the horizon, a dim sun hanging barely over the horizon. But strangely, the cold was not penetrating the aura of sensual warmth flowing from the demon's chest that had spread all over his summoner's body. "I'm not actually hurting them, or allowing them to be hurt. But I've pretty much taken them out of the picture for anything they were planning on doing."
With another snap of his fingers, they were back in his summoner's bedroom. "I have a pretty free rein when it comes to the physical world. There are few places I cannot go, few things I cannot access, little knowledge that I am blocked from finding out. It's just a question of how badly you want something. And the price you're willing to pay to get it."
"But yes, there's a price for this. Sooner or later, there's a price." The heat emanating from the demon rippled across Kutsuki's pale skin, causing the youth's cheeks to flush. "Right now, it's all free. A 'test drive' you might say. At least until I find what it is that you will give anything for. But you'll still have a choice, Eraisama. If any price is involved, I'm required to make that clear in advance. Whether or not you decide to pay it is entirely up to you."
"So, what's your pleasure, Eraisama?" Pyp teased, his naked body seeming to sway sensually before Kutsuki even though the youth tried to focus he could detect no actual movement at all. "You want to know what I'm capable of? Command me!"
[Kutsuki]
What was strange to Kutsuki, and not as repulsive as he thought it ought to be, was not Pyp's nakedness but rather how it felt to put his foot on him, letting the balls of his feet slide down until his heel was firmly planted on the hellion's navel, right between the smooth V of his hips. Why didn't his skin prickle like it did with everyone else who was even within five feet of his personal bubble? Was it because Pyp was a demon and not a human? Was his lifelong aversion focused on human beings only? That was a thought that's never entered his mind before.
"You certainly got the annoying part right," he muttered, just watching his foot on the smoothest of skins that he's ever touched. Make that the only skin that he has ever touched without feeling like he wanted to vomit. Loathe as he was to admit, whatever this feeling that was slowly enveloping his being, it was a lot more pleasant that he expected it to be, an effect that was surely emanating from the imp to his owner's body. It was heating him up and suddenly they were in the middle of a snow field and the brightness of the sky made Kutsuki wince, shuttering his eyes as he blocked it with his hand, until they were once back within the safe confines of his basement room.
"My pleasure? Wouldn't you like to know, demon scum," Kutsuki growled at the unsettling feeling in his body, wanting to take his foot away but then suddenly realizing that if he did, then Pyp's nakedness would be on display again and he wasn't sure what he really wanted to do about it. It didn't help that he felt hot all over. "Alright, enough. Cut this flowery shit out and stop acting so flamboyant. It's giving me some serious creeps. Put some clothes back on."
He pulled his leg back, sitting cross legged as he thought of something. There an idea that he wanted to test.
"I want you to call into existence a demon friend of yours, I don't care who. They cannot harm me or touch me, or cause me any sort of pain mental or physical. Nor pleasure. You must ensure they cannot damage anything in this place or anywhere else. I want them on the floor, kneeling, and prostrated before me. Do it now."

Etienne had to take a moment to gather herself. She couldn't cry...she didn't want to cry...she had been through too much to cry...she wouldn't cry...But damn her she felt the tears in her eyes run down her cheeks.
When she could fight it no more, she rested against the wall of the cave to cry soft body rocking tears. Several moments went by before she gathered her composure enough to go around the rest of them. Damn him. Damn him for doing this to her. For making her feel this way. For being such an asshole.? Damn herself for still loving him so much.?

Re: High Moon Tales. Tales of the Wicked West.
[Old Sicilien]
?
"Gods, you always keep me in the dark!? Why, Etienne," Sicilien growled, watching her walk away from him.? ?He raised his arm to reach out to her, willing his body to move, trying to force his feet forward, but it felt as if the entirety of him was filled with lead.? Even his voice started to sound hoarse from the energy and strength that he put into speaking, feeling entirely frustrated and helpless.? What was he supposed to do now?? Nothing he said was right.? Every word that spilled out of his mouth felt like acid burning his lips.? Maybe it was because he was alone for so long that he even forgot how to speak
?
"Fine," he croaked, sliding down against the stone as he stuck his rifle into the sandy loam.? The night above was beautiful, as were the myriads of stars and the one lone moon whose round face shone like a wheel of yellow cheese.? But, beautiful as they were, it meant nothing to him who felt more alone than ever.? Maybe it was better than he pretend that she is dead to him, but she certainly made it loud and clear that he was dead to her.? What else was he supposed to? Continue to pursue a woman who clearly wanted nothing to do with him?? Chasing was fun only?if the object of your affection left you little bread crumbs to follow, but all he saw now was a barren desert with vultures circling overhead.? "I knew nothing then and I know nothing now, and if that's how it has to be, then so be it.? Whatever makes you happy, love."
?
The last thing he wanted to do was go back to the cave, however.? Callie and Flynn had their own thing going on.? Who knew what was going through Chase's head with the way he's been sneaking peeks at Etienne every time she was within his eyesight.? Those he wished no ill will to the man who seemed to be harboring his own beasts inside his soul.? So he did the only thing he felt would bring him calm. He placed a cigarette between his lips and lit the tail end, taking a nice long drag as he breathed out a column of smoke.

Re: Port Vega: A Private Reunion (Gen, Kites)
[Kites]
Listening to Gen talk made Kites suddenly feel quite inadequate in light of everything that the androgyne could do. Gen could freely move within water and grow gills for breathing in it. He'd grown wings before, could scale walls. Withstand so many different elements. Even sift through and refine different particulates out of various mediums. This just made him think - what could he really do that was useful in anyway? So he had wings and could fly, great. Had a hardy body that was resistant to the cold, which let's be frank, he had to be to be flying at high altitudes and not freeze his ass off. Though most of his bones were hollow to reduce his weight, he was still strong enough to carry a person or two, or a couch in their demonstration of powers. His response times were good, seemingly able to slow down time, but that's it. Not anywhere close to what his shifting lover could do.
He reached over and squeezed Gen's hand, feeling the androgyne tremble a bit when she look at him. The last time he had seen Harrison was when he found Gen wounded at the lighthouse and in no uncertain terms told her that Gen wasn't going anywhere, resulting in his dressing down by Chord. But why did they all decide to go back? Clearly the team has been disbanded, the project cancelled. Now they were dead which left a lot of things unresolved. There was bad blood between himself and Ireland. The wrong precedent set with Harrison, and an argument with the big boss. The chance that he was hoping for to put things back upright had seeped through his hands like sand. And here they were. Leaderless, broken up. Returning back to their lives pre-facility and who knew what was going to happen moving forward.
So he kept a tight hold on Gen's hand, not just to reassure the androgyne but also himself. That as long as they had each other they would be able to get through this. For now though there was a mystery to solve.

When two sets of eyes turn to her she didn’t know what to say. She didn’t remember how she got in the forest...or even how she got away from Vincent. Did he let her go? Had he drugged her again??
She went back to the first question. “I was going to go home. I’m sure I have family who are worried about me.”
(Juliet/Anna) "Oh, okay..." Anna said then paused and looked towards the window. She gave her mom a kiss on the cheek, then climbed off of her lap. "I hope you get back home, Evie. I have to go and take my bath now." And just as quickly as the child had ran into the room, she ran out.?
Juliet looked to Anais at that point, "her father had been calling her." She said to clarify how the child knew. "Is there anything we can provide for your journey home?" She asked with a smile.?

Re: Blood Bonds: Off to Play (Draven, Belanie)
(Belanie) “Ah yes, your accomplishments,” Belanie said “All you have done for the so called liberation. Hmm. It would appear my kind was exempt from that liberation. It would also appear that only North Americans get to take advantage of this liberation, or maybe it’s just those who the mighty Lord Draven sees worthy. As it would appear that the human you just drained got no such benefit... so what is it, when in Rome as the saying goes?”
(Draven) Draven took a moment to look and observe this woman. He didn't want to say anything else to her as she was full of questions or accusations, but not willing to answer the one question that he had asked of her. Was this going to be like the last woman, what was her name, who lead him on then decided he wasn't worth it...did he care, not really, but it was still very confusing. "I didn't drain her," was all he said before looking out the window.?

Re: A Pirates Life (Khadashee and Draven)
(Khadashee) Khadashee nodded but went quiet again. There was a visible tension in her body. The way she held her hand. Her stance. She was worried.?
Sa’id did not follow. It wasn’t his place to anymore. However, a figure joined him on the deck of his ship as the Serenity sailed away. The figure spoke to the people around him. And much like on the Serenity a fury of activity began. Activity the ended with Sa’id and his crew be taken into custody.
(Draven) Draven had watched what was happening on the other ship with interest, but didn't comment on what he saw. Instead, he turned back to the helm and continued to steer them out of the harbor and into open waters.
Once there he ordered all sails to be made full and within minutes, all the sails were dropped, opened with the full wind in them and the Serenity picked up speed.?

Re: What Lies in the Heart. Mikayla/The Dragon
(Mikayla)
Mikayla found righting everything the Dragon had laid waste too just as difficult as she thought it would be. Everything in his domain was oversized and oversized was hard to lift. She had just properly stacked books back on the shelf when she heard Angus behind her. “I think that looks almost normal what do you think?” She said as she turned to face the man. It was then that she saw the tea and the Dragon. Mikayla Nodded her hellos to the Dragon but then smiled at Angus. “Oh thank you Angus. You shouldn’t have. This was ever so kind.” She was just about to ask if he was going to join her when she heard him say, he was going to clean as both she and the Dragon “relaxed”. She gave an apprehensive look over to Angus but then nodded when she saw his reassuring one. Turning to the dragon, she was about to say thank you when she heard his dig about people and blushed. She didn’t say anything, just moved to sit at the table. He was still angry.
(The Dragon, Angus)
Before leaving, Angus filled a cup for Mikayla and set it before her, leaving the tray within easy reach so she could add whatever she wished to suit her taste. He also brought out the dragon-sized cup, saucer and spoon that Mikayla had magically crafted earlier on a separate cart, leaving it within the dragon's reach. He then turned away discreetly and attended to cleaning up a different part of the room, far enough away to allow them some privacy.
The Dragon sat back on his haunches, picked up the teacup in one claw and began stirring it with the spoon in the other, frowning as he did so.
"I never did thank you, did I? For this?" he said suddenly, his deep voice sending a rumble through the stone floor. He continued to stare at his tea, not looking up. "At least, certainly not enough." Setting the spoon down, he took a long sip from the cup. "This... this reminds me that I was human. That part of me still is, inside at least. I forget that sometimes." He looked over the rim of the cup, his eyes meeting Mikayla's for the first time. "I ask your forgiveness."

Re: High Moon Tales. Tales of the Wicked West.
?(Old Chase)?
Chase rested in the dark, letting the lovers have their time together. ? He reflected on his own lonely past and basked in the fact that this would all be over soon...not soon enough? ?When Flynn and Callie came back from their tryst that he could hear, damn
his heightened senses. ? He didn’t look up as Flynn questioned him, he continued to sharpen his blade as that was his only comfort now. ?“Do I really have a choice?? Stop the evil or let the world go to shit further.? Whenever you all are quite ready we can go.” ?He said calmly devoid of any true emotion.
When Etienne returned without her man and was still well dressed he pondered but said nothing.? He would speak to her in a bit, if she allowed, but even he could smell the tears. ? He felt bad that she was hurt for whatever reason, lovers spat but still, he didn't want her hurt regardless.? Honestly, this was one mission he would be glad would be over…none too soon!
?
?“So did you…um refuel?” ?He glanced up at Flynn briefly, but looking towards the cave entrance waiting for Sicilian to return shortly.
(New Callie Carson)
Callie finished buttoning the last button on her shirt as Chase spoke. She looked up at him and cocked a smile, "He's fully recharged. My work here is done." ?The redhead then looked over at Etienne, relieved she was OK after she'd briefly disappeared outside. "Gave us a scare. Stay close," she asked, with a faint smile. "I think we're about ready to continue on toward Miller's Crossing."

Re: Return of the Past-Scarlett/Tempest
(Old Tempest)
Tempest watched quietly never taking her eyes away from the shapely redhead before her as she undressed. She saw her shyness. She saw her hesitation. It was refreshing. Scarlett had lived many lifetimes, but she appeared to still have the modest sensibility of a virgin. It was something Tempest had never before seen in a vampire as old as Scarlett. It was something Tempest wanted to explore...and corrupt.? ? The beautiful chocolate skinned woman smiled at Scarlett's words, but she did not speak. She held out her hand to Scarlett for her to take. If the woman did, Tempest would lead her to come to sit onto her lap. Once seated, Tempest would tip Scarlett’ face up in the gentlest of ways. “beautiful,” she said before she would kiss the woman softly yet sensually hoping to awaken all of those feeling of need and desire this woman kept in check.
(New Scarlett MacAleister)
? ?Scarlett was hesitant, but finally took Tempest's hand, her eyes riveted to those of the dark-skinned woman. She was surprised when the smaller woman pulled her to sit upon her lap, which she reluctantly did...reluctant at first. Once in her lap, she felt Tempest's hand reach up and with a finger against her chin, lifted her head slightly and admired her face, turning it from side to side. ? ?"Beautiful," Tempest said before leaning in and kissing Scarlett on the lips. The kiss deepened and Scarlett melted into the woman's embrace. She'd had other female vampires make similar overtures toward her in the past century. The hedonistic side of vampirism was something she'd found herself tempted by more than once, but she had mostly avoided it...trying to retain that last shred of her humanity. ? In the vampire world, same sex relationships were common. Scarlett had been raised in a time where it was something considered blasphemous and against God's will. Those among humans who practiced it, even in this more awakened age of the 1960s, usually hid it or kept it "in the closest", so to speak. ? But vampires were open about it. In fact, most embraced it. As a people already hidden away from the rest of the world, vampires could indulge in all of the unconventional relationships humans frowned upon. This was liberating for most vampires...but Scarlett had always had a problem letting go of the values and puritan ways she'd been brought up believing in.? ? ?In this moment, however, she not only needed this to get close to Tempest and learn more about Wolfram, but she found herself desiring Tempest more and more each minute that passed. Sitting there on the girl's lap, naked, as she inspected her, only tantalized the redhead more. ? ?She did not want the kiss to end and the two remained locked in their embrace for a long time, mouths open, tongues entwined, the traces of blood around the corners of her mouth rubbing off onto Tempests lips as they kissed.

? ?She wanted to submit to Tempest...it was a feeling she'd never experienced in her lifetime. Not only had she never lusted for a woman, but to want this woman to dominate her in so many ways, it was baffling to the redheaded vampire. It was like she'd fallen under a spell.
? ?Slowly, the reluctant Scarlett stood up, her already clothing disheveled from Tempest's wandering hands. She reached behind her and took the zipper at her neckline and pulled it down, opening the mini-dress down the back until it was a V. She then slid the dress off her shoulders and peeled it down the rise of her large breasts until it slid off her and dropped to the floor around her feet.
? ? Dressed then in a white bra and cotton panties, Scarlett reached behind her and unclasp the bra, looking at Tempest shyly as she allowed it to slide off both shoulders and down, off her torso until it joined the growing pile of clothing at her feet. The vampire then hooked her thumbs on either side of the band of the panties and slid them down her long legs, dropping them to floor along with everything else.
? ?Scarlett stood there before Tempest, ivory white body displayed for her. Her big breasts, tipped with pale pink nipples, appeared firm and ripe, while between her thighs there was a neatly trimmed patch of red hair. Looking at Tempest, she forced herself not to try and cover her most private parts, the whole time wondering if other vampires in the room had taken notice of her nudity.
? ?"I hope you...approve," she said softly.

Re: Blood Feuds: Trying to Survive (Anais, Trevor, Juliet)
(Juliet/Anna) Juliet shook her head at the question while speaking, "no, no need for compensation. We are just glad that you are alive and well enough to do as you please. As for appreciation, just be careful and take care of yourself and your precious cargo." She said with a smile as her daughter came running in.
"I am Anna, I am glad you are okay. Where are you going?" She asked as she cocked her head to one side. "Momma, did she run away from the bad man?" Juliet looked at Anna, "I do not know. You daddy and I with the pack found her in the forest." Then both of them looked at Anais with curious eyes.

Draven was a little surprised to suddenly be removed of his drink. With a shrug he sat back as he knew they were just returning the way he was acting. "I believe I asked who you were first...my birth rights and accomplishments is what earned the title, ma'dam." He said with a smirk. If she knew who he was, then she would know who he really was...or she didn't have a clue. He hadn't figured it out just yet. "Now, are you Ms. Belanie?"
?Belanie
“Ah yes, your accomplishments,” Belanie said “All you have done for the so called liberation. Hmm. It would appear my kind was exempt from that liberation.

Re: A Pirates Life (Khadashee and Draven)
(Draven) "Do not worry, they will only be used if needed. If they make the first shot. I am not losing you or my ship today." Draven told her as he watched his crew move precisely around the deck and everything ran like a well oiled machine. Everyone knew their place and what to do...it was clear why he had been a pirate captain for so long.
Once the Serenity was turned completely around and sailing away from the harbor, did Draven look behind them to see what Sa'id or any other ship may be doing. Were they beginning to follow? He was ready for anything at this point.
Khadashee
Khadashee nodded but went quiet again. There was a visible tension in her body. The way she held her hand. Her stance. She was worried.?

Re: Port Vega: Meet & Greet Dinner (Posting Order: Aurora, Mara, Lightning Rod, Photon, Random NPCs)
(Mara)? "I see," was all that Mara said, making note of who Delphine was.? An aura reader, huh?? But could she do more than just spot mutants?? Perhaps her ability could tell her what that person's abilities would be?? Depends on how powerful, she supposed, feeling a little bit curious but there wasn't that much interest for her to make a trip out there. ? Turning her attention to the dinner table, the snake woman eyed what was available, to see if something would catch her eye and settled for a plate of strawberries and whipped cream, dipping the berries before tossing them in her mouth.? She nearly choked at Roddy's bold statement and Aurora's follow up, snickering to herself at his being shut down.? Yeah, the boss lady was right.? The kid needed to be brought down a peg or two.? Well, they'll find out whether he learned anything after he comes back. "No questions from me," Mara said, returning to her delectable dessert.
(Lightning Rod) Roddy frowned at Aurora's seeming dismissal of his charms and his chances. And at being told he was being sent to "learn", with the barely veiled warning that failing to learn would mean his rejection from the Benders.? He wondered briefly if she was telling them that this Delphine who apparently ran the Night's Elegance only liked women, then shrugged the thought away.? No reason to not at least _try_ to see how far he could get.
"Okay, Boss Lady," he said, stretching his arms and then standing up at the table.? "I'll head over to the Elegance and see what your Delphine wants me to do. And see if she can actually teach me anything."? The fresh-faced youth looked to the others at the table, grinning cockily and sparing them a collective nod.? "Nice meeting you all.? I guess I'll see you in two weeks. Who knows?? Maybe I'll be running the place by then."
(Photon) Rain seemingly ignored it all even though he could hear everything, change the frequency and he focused on just making himself useful.? His mind was drifting as he still hadn’t heard from his baby girl and that had him worried now.? She would at least send him something, he thought they had a good day together and he even tried to make nice with her new girlfriend.? What more could he do to try to make amends with the other love of his life?? No, he wasn’t Brandon, but he loved her too, just not like that.? She was the one part of the family that still made him try with ‘Father’.? He hated that he could never measure up and that Brandon was the apple of his eye.??
He was always a pain in his ass because of it.? Maybe he would go by and see him…and hope he didn’t try anything stupid like try to arrest him.? He still kept an eye on Harrison and he enjoyed seeing that ‘Mom’ was happy.? He loved being invisible at times.? Most of his family thought he didn’t care…he did just in his own way.? He was not going to be ruled by them or their ideas and now he was free…for the most part, some were family other were... He eyed Roddy, wanted to push him in front of a bus, but still everyone wouldn’t be friends in family, right?
He watched her stand looking like his dream, a smile crossed his face it looked like he was really enjoying his dessert, but he was thinking of her.? Just the thought of her made him smile.? With that she shut the meeting down.? Each one spoke in turn, even loud mouth that couldn’t…or didn’t want to figure out that Del wasn’t into men.? ‘He wanted to be the one to set her straight?’? He laughed, ‘maybe if Roddy failed Aurora would let him, keep the balloon as a pet? He was funny.'? “No Madame, no questions.”? He said finishing his dessert and wiping his lips as he looked at her from behind his mask. He was still in costume and was looking forward to getting out of it.
(Aurora/NPCs) Misty, Jordie, and Liza all indicated that they didn’t have any questions. Misty was a little bit peeved at this Roddy now. She thought he at least had a decent head on his shoulders, but clearly thought he was God’s gift to women, any woman.? Well, she hoped that Del would send him packing or at least caused some misery to him when he would try and turn her on. What was wrong with me, she thought to herself. She was willing to give him the time of day, in fact just for fun she glanced at her watch, “it’s 7:00.” She said it more or less just out loud to anyone who was listening, but more to Roddy to indicate that was available…ever more so than Del would be.
“Very well, Lightening Rod, report to Del at 3:00 pm tomorrow. You are welcome to stay here tonight if you wish, we do have a guest room. The rest of you are free to do as you wish for tonight, we will have a meeting tomorrow at noon.” With that she took Photon’s hand, “come, we are finished for the night.”

Re: Putting Doubts to Bed (Katya and Ashton)
He smirked realizing Katya was the perfect girlfriend to even watch it with him or attempt too.? There were times when she fell asleep hell there were times when he wanted too, yet she stayed with him. It was when she smiled at him he just seemed to melt and not able to take his eyes off of her.? The sultry way she moved and climbed into his lap to awaken him on so many levels. “I have lots of ideas…all of them end up with you screaming and falling asleep on top of me though.” ?He smiled kissing her back feeling the heated touch of her lips against his own.? The taste of her, the dance of their tongues together as his hand moved beneath her top to slowly caress and stroke her in the moment.? He loved her and lived to bask in her touch. ? He wasn’t sure he knew true love before her, but he relished every chance to touch and connect with her often.? He loved her more than his own life and it felt comfortable in trusting with not just his body but his heart…considering she was his it was easy. (Katya) Katya was happy with his responses. She needed to wear him out, distract him, get his mind off of the investigation. It wasn't long before their clothing was removed and he was on the floor with her atop of him. She was in charge at this moment. Riding him and enjoying every moment of it, "God, Ash, make me cum." She yelled out as his hands were around her waist helping her move. She wanted to cum in this position then let him have control.
Once she came, she kissed him while sliding off of him and rolling them both over to let him have control now. Her legs opened to let him in and once there she wrapped them around his waist which lifted her pelvis to give him better and deeper entry. "Take me, my love." Tag: Ashton
