But then he pauses.? “My brother called and you...you know there is no love lost between us…but he called and wanted me to meet him later…at…the house that we grew up in.? Neutral territory as neither of us will exactly tear the place down.”? He stopped as he didn’t want to let worry cross his mind, but his brother calling and not hearing from his sister set off a few red flags that he DID NOT like.?“So about the new recruits, what is your perception?”? He said as he moved to another topic versus the one going through his mind right then.?
(Kiera) "There is only one new recruit now, Lightening Rod since the other one...Devi, decided she had to leave. So, this Roddy person. He is a little bit too big for his breeches. Thinks he is all that, and well that might bode well with some, others are going to put him in his place quickly. Which I think Del is the the perfect person for just that job. She will show him what's what." She paused to sip her wine. "You are aware that the other's at the table have been with us for a while now. Had you not met them all before tonight, besides Mara? I know you two hadn't ever met before."
(Raine)
He smirked as Kiera was ever to work with people he would have pulled all of Roddy's energy from him and leave him a shriveling?husk but he didn't like people like that, but he gave him a bit more rope because he used to be like that some too.? But now he had someone that he cared for more to try to be better.? That wasn't his family at least.
"Mara is the only one I really know, the others a few meet and greets but not much short of their bios.? You don't really know anyone till you do a job with them hunny."? He said as he drink some wine also, he was relaxed a bit more with her but business first with both of them.

Re: Blood Bonds: Finding Anais (Draven, Anais, Belanie)
(Draven)"Very well, what ever you want to call yourselves, I need help locating someone. Will you help me? We have a blood bond and you can use my blood in the spell to find her." Draven said as he stopped and looked at Belanie. He found her beautiful, but right now, his mind was not on the beauty before him, but on one that was lost somewhere.
Did he dare turn it back on, what would Anais feel if he did? Would she feel him too? Would she want him to find her, oh he was going to find her, whether the lady here helped or not, but her help would make finding Anais much easier.
Belanie
Belanie blinked at how quickly he dismissed their conversation in favor of one of his own. ?His words were bold. Help me find someone. A frown touched her face at his abrupt request. Was this Draven as selfish and self-center as she had heard?
Sure he has liberated the humans, but our peoples still suffer…the council has said. Even the Lycan board wasn’t necessarily convince of Lord Draven’s true motives in his actions.?
But his words…find someone…blood bond…understanding dawned. “Your lady love,” she said
Belanie had heard that Draven’s betrothed had run from him and was now gone somewhere he could not find.?
“Finding her will take more than just your blood bond connection. I will need something of her…something special…meaningful.”
Anais
The moon was high in the sky hidden behind clouds. She walked. Moving forward with no real direction. Her mind lost in thought…a swirling cauldron of confusion.?
Her wolf wanted out…needing to be set free…begging to be free.?

Raconteur City: The Awakening (Ashton, Katya, Cho, Kitty, Hollywood, open)
(Cho)
He knew there was another vampire to cull if only to keep her from hunting him down.? He showered to clean the ash from his naked body.? The room was paid for, there was still a certain pain, almost regret at not being able to have a lover again.? He shook his head as he was headed out but there was that part of him that was reminded that he would be alone.? The one he killed he claimed her energy and power, pushing off his needed refill for another 30 days.? Into the night air.? He got back into his car and drove home; he definitely should have listened to that inner voice telling him the woman was too good to be true.? She wanted him almost too badly, he had run off her companion but he would find her eventually as well also she would be a meal to be sure.
?
He wasn’t sure to be honest if he even deserved a lover…what could he bring another but pain and eventually death.? He was almost glad his friend had left he would never want to hurt her.? He was at his place and went inside, he checked everything out, set his alarms both mundane and magical before he turned over, right now he craved sunlight!!? With that he was gone.
?
(Ashton)
He went over things in his mind thinking as he slept that this was something that wasn't adding up at all.? The finger still pointed to his lover's warehouse, why was it used.? He had to trust her, but it wasn't blind trust so he had to get a few answers and not necessarily from her.?"I need to go check out another safehouse that the group shared.? I Need to get to the bottom of this as few things weren't adding up.? So, you need a hand with anything?"? He asked with a wink.
?
(Kitty)
Kitty decided that for now she would return to her Haven as she felt a shift coming, and it wasn’t related to the weather. The sudden death of that supernatural, what ever kind it was, has awaken something or someone and she would have to wait to see what or who they were. The vampire Prince of the city had been asleep for half a century, but something in the cosmos was saying that slumber may be coming to an end.
?
(Katya)
“No, I can handle what I need to do.” She paused and then shivered a moment. “Did you feel that?” She asked Ashton. “Something has changed in the balance…probably nothing.” She brushed it aside as there was more important stuff to worry about just now. “I hope you get some answers today.” She finished her blood bag and ate her serving of what he made for her, even though she wasn’t “hungry”, she ate it our of respect for him. “I will catch up with you later, I will text you when I am finished. Love ya.” She gave Ashton a kiss then headed out the door.
?
(Hollywood)
Hollywood stirred in her crypt in the cities grave yard. She had been asleep for so long, but something suddenly woke her before she was supposed to be. She pressed the button on the inside of her sarcophagus and waited until the top slide open. She sat up and listened, not with her ears, but with her mind. She reached out to find the blood bags that had been placed in the crypt waiting for her. She took hold of the first one. Drained it, then another, and another until all were gone. She had caretakers that saw to it that blood bags were freshly provided every month for her. It wasn’t the same as a fresh blood from a human, that would have to wait.
?
She found the pager on the small table. After climbing out of her resting place she pushed in the numbers. Her caretakers would be here shortly to help her prepare to enter the city as the Prince once more.

Re: Port Vega: The Night's Elegance
Del smiled enigmatically at Mia's comment.? "Not exactly.? But I can generally tell when someone feels... wrong.? And you feel anything but wrong."? She shrugged slightly as she added "Besides, my boss has some really good protection-apps installed in our phones.? Makes it easy to catch the dumber types who'd go for something so obvious."
?
"I'll be off soon," she went on, slipping her phone back into her jacket.? "And I don't _need_ anyone to walk me home, but company would be nice.? Especially _your_ company.? I think we can find all kinds of things to talk about..." Del casually ran her fingertip across the back of Mia's hand, her voice dropping into a deliciously silky purr "...in all kinds of ways.? People seriously underestimate just how... close... conversation can bring two complete strangers who find each other interesting."
(Mia)
With a smile, "Very true." In response to the comment about conversations. "Then I will go and dance a few songs and wait for your shift to end, if that works for you? I have no where else I need or want to be." With that she slipped off of the bar stool and headed to the dance floor to join in with the crowd that was moving with the beat. It never took her long to find the right rhythm in a crowd.
She watched Del finish her shift and how the woman mingled with the other guest. She had a natural ability to make everyone feel at ease. With a smile, Mia was glad that she came tonight. She would have to make a choice soon, but for now was going to simply enjoy being in the moment that she was in.

Re: A Pirates Life (Khadashee and Draven)
She knew she was asking a lot of him. And she also knew he was trying to figure out a way the he thought worked for both of them. He just didn’t understand. She had made eye contact with Bakari. She knew he was never going to stop.?Khadashee put her arms around him. Kissing his lips softly. “I’m sorry I brought this up. I don’t want to upset you. Let’s not think of the future now. Only live in the present. Thank you for loving me.” (Draven) Draven sighed but shook his head, "no, I am glad you did bring this up. It changes many things. I do love you." He said before giving her another kiss. This did indeed change many things. The thought of losing her was unthinkable. He would take her to the island. An island that only a few select pirates know about. There she and their child would be safe.
He held her a few moments longer, "for now, we should rest. You get yourself settled while I go on deck and check in with the crew. I will return shortly."

Re: Blood Bonds: Finding Anais (Draven, Anais, Belanie)
(Anais) Anais continued to wander the camp. Her mind lost in thought. Confusion filled her mind and movements. ?However, that voice that was her Wolf whispered for her to run. To run now and to run hard and to run far.?She placed her hands on her belly and continued to wander about. (Belanie) Belanie watched masking the confusion she thought as she watched Draven as he seemed to stumble about. His face told a tale of a man looking for something...what that something was she didn't know. When elected to not join her she nodded. But his behavior intrigued her. She smiled at him as she stood. Her naked body glistening in the moonlight as she got out of the hot tub. "What an archaic term. We prefer oracle, sage, paladin or mage." she said as she walked to the nearby servant who had been standing back in the shadows. The tall man of slender build, this one a vampire with long blonde hair stepped forward helping her put her robe on.
"When people think witch in regards to magic users the images of evil, children eating, broom riding, cauldron stirring, pointy black hat wearing old women with long noses and warts comes to mind. We are none of that." she said as she tied her robe. "Would you like to take a walk amongst the grounds, Lord Draven." she asked as he seemed to be wandering about the deck. "Or would you like to go back inside for drinks and maybe some lite refreshments."
(Draven) "Very well, what ever you want to call yourselves, I need help locating someone. Will you help me? We have a blood bond and you can use my blood in the spell to find her." Draven said as he stopped and looked at Belanie. He found her beautiful, but right now, his mind was not on the beauty before him, but on one that was lost somewhere.
Did he dare turn it back on, what would Anais feel if he did? Would she feel him too? Would she want him to find her, oh he was going to find her, whether the lady here helped or not, but her help would make finding Anais much easier.

Raconteur City: Return to the Present (Scarlett, Tempest, open)
Scarlett MacAleister Raconteur Apartment, 2021
Scarlett's mind left Tempest at their original meeting back in 1968 and she found herself sitting on her bed, staring at the black flower, a dahlia, still resting in the palm of her hand. She noticed her hand shaking a little as the memories subsided and reality set in. "It...can't be," she whispered one last time, before shaking her head and placing the dahlia in an envelope, which she sealed and placed in her nightstand. This was indeed troubling. If Tempest had returned after all these years, and had been inside the apartment to leave her calling card, it meant she would be coming soon -- presumably for revenge after Scarlett had killed her lover and mentor, Wolfram.? She had killed the evil vampire who murdered her fiancé and turned her into an undead creature way back in 1986 -- so why now would she come for vengeance? Tempest had not shown herself at all since the killing of Wolfram. Not through Scarlett's trial by the vampire council, not after her exile and all the years that followed when she was most vulnerable. Not a word, not a sighting. Nothing...until now. Scarlett undressed and reluctantly crawled into her sarcophagus. She needed rest and sunrise was not that far away. She sealed the chamber shut and went to sleep in the blackness, but she stirred frequently as she remembered more of her years with Tempest and her betrayal of her friend.?
Scarlett had slept for several hours before Snow arrived at the apartment and awakened her. She was stirred early from her slumber, but she had told him to wake her when he arrived. As the?sarcophagus opened, she found herself in her bedroom, the heavy shutters closed over the windows so no sunlight could get into the room, and she found her friend, Snow, standing there looking concerned.
"What was all the drama last night?" he asked, helping her out of the chamber and into a robe, which she pulled around herself and secured by tying off the belt. "You scared the shit out of me, girl." "Nothing happened before I cam home last night? No alarms. No mysterious people came to the door?" she asked. The young, slender man with a ghostly pale complexion shook his head, "No. Nothing. I was here until 8 p.m. and I locked up and left." They pulled up the video surveillance from the previous night and oddly, there was about a 45 minute gap in the recording, starting at about 9:30 p.m. until about 10:15 p.m. "That shouldn't be there," Snow gasped, replaying it again. "It starts right..." "Right after that black BMW makes its second drive through the parking lot and then parks on the south side of the building. The exterior and interior cameras are all missing time for the next 45 minutes," Scarlett announced. "When the footage resumes at 10:15 p.m., the BMW is gone." Snow used the computer to enhance an image of the car on its first pass through the lot and he enlarged the view of the license plate. "Got a number," he muttered, writing it down on a scrap of paper. "I'll give this to your computer person." Scarlett snatched it from his hand, "No, I'll take it to her. I need to see if she's able to intercept any data from the tap I attached to the computer at that estate last night." Snow rolled his eyes, "That fine...she and I don't get along well anyway." "You don't get along with anyone," Scarlett smirked. She then put on a more serious face. "Snow, I'm going to need the Black Safehouse activated. It's not safe here right now for me. I need it ready by morning and I need you to make sure you're not followed. Can you do that?"
He nodded, "That flower you said you found, it has your freaked out, doesn't it." The redhead nodded, "Yes. When you're done, I need you to disappear for awhile. Understood. Use the Rainy Day fund, get a plane ticket and go somewhere nice for a couple weeks. Got it?"
He nodded, sadly. "Black Safehouse, correct?" "Black," she confirmed. Snow hugged the redheaded vampire and she stroke his head affectionately as they embraced. After they parted, he stood up and wiped tears away as he made for the doorway. "Your dinner is in the refrigerator. I'll get everything taken care of at Black House. Then I'll be back here to close things up." She nodded and watched him leave, not certain she would see him again. Scarlett then showered and dressed, before packing a backpack and tending to her awaiting blood packets. Once nourished, she waited until sundown and left. As she drove away on her motorcycle, with the envelope containing the flower in the pack, the license plate number in her pocket and the hope in her heart that the ruse of sending Snow off to "open" the Black Safehouse would throw Tempest off, in the event her apartment was bugged or Snow was being followed. Black Safehouse was a property she owned. A small house in a quiet neighborhood outside Raconteur. Activating it was code for Snow to make it look like that is where she'd be staying when she was actually going to an undisclosed safehouse in another part of the city. This safehouse, a loft in a heavily fortified and secure warehouse, was not particularly comfortable or neat, but it was a place to hide. Activating Black Safehouse would also mean a secondary employee of Scarlett's would be brought into play. Someone Scarlett kept on retainer who could do the same job Snow performed for her daily...just in case Snow's cover was blown and he himself had become a target. As she drove away, she sent a text to her other Caretaker, notifying them they would be needed later tonight. Then, the vampire headed toward her meeting with the mysterious hacker she used for all of her Internet and technology needs.

Re: The Plot Thickens? (Katya and Ashton)
He rested but it wasn’t fully relaxed once he was gone.? He could see his mind drifting past the fact that the betrayal from Arrow was real.? He didn’t want to believe it but right now his friend was gone and now he had to deal with the fact that this was something that didn’t set right with him.? His mind was distracted and he was glad he had his love he could trust.? He wasn’t sure he could deal with any more of this were it not for her.?
He swore he could feel the change and shifting of her being in his arms, the heated change between them was not there.?But he opened his eyes to find her there.? He rolled over to wrap his arms around her.? She was home to him.? He moved to kiss her neck before he drifted back off as well, the love of her was what let him live.
****
Morning came for him too soon.? He woke up just before dawn as he did daily and now he moved to have his time to work out without waking her.? He then went to clean up, then went to make them some breakfast.? It was just him wanting this to be over, an idea to solve this as he knew now he had trust issues and never thought the person that he trusted most in the city besides the one he slept with. (Katya) Katya woke up shortly after Ashton had left the bed. She knew he would work out, then shower, and make breakfast. She pulled her phone out of the drawer and turned it on. Shortly after she received a text. With a smile, she responded, then deleted it. All was moving as it should. She knew where they were and was glad that all were accounted for. She got up, dressed and made her way to the kitchen. She pulled the blood bag from the fridge from the night before and finished it. She never liked to leave one opened for long. From there she gave Ashton a smile. "Smells good. So, I have to head to town to take care of a few things, today. What are your plans?"
(Ashton)
He went over things in his mind thinking as he slept that this was something that wasn't adding up at all.? The finger still pointed to his lover's warehouse, why was it used.? He had to trust her, but it wasn't blind trust so he had to get a few answers and not necessarily from her.
"I need to go check out another safehouse that the group shared.? I Need to get to the bottom of this as few things weren't adding up.? So you need a hand with anything?"? He asked with a wink.

Mikayla chuckled at the their worried faces. Seeing them shuffle about to try to figure out what exactly she meant was comical.
?
"We don't have to chisel stone to make this place a home." she said sipping her tea. Then she put her cup down. "I would like to plant a garden with fresh fruit, veggies and flowers. I would like to open up the shutters so that some light and natural light filters into the rooms. I would like to start having dinner together as a family, and that includes Angus. I would like to take the time to make this place more homey, cosy, inviting. Maybe by doing so you won't be so grumpy. I want to give you both something worth waking up in the morning. Those are the changes I would like to make. But you both have a say. This was your home before it was mine, so I would like you to both be excited about the changes. However if you are not and don't want it. I will not do it," She said eyeing both the men in front of her. "So what do you say? Would you like me to grace this place with a woman touch, or would you prefer this woman stay in her place?"?
?
(The Dragon, Angus)
?
The Dragon exchanged an uncertain glance with Angus, then looked back to Mikayla when the servant could only shrug back helplessly.? "I give you permission to effect whatever changes you wish to make within the keep," the Dragon said, his deep voice sending vibrations though the stones in the floor and walls, quickly adding an anxious "short of burning the place down, that is.? It might be... interesting... to see something different for a change.? Angus will assist you in whatever ways you feel he can be of use."
?
Angus touched his forehead in dutiful acknowledgement of his instructions.? The Dragon turned to leave, but scowled at Mikayla sourly.? "I seriously doubt if any being could make you you stay in your place, whatever that is.? His draconic features then softened slightly.? "But I do hope that you will find some time amid your 'changes' to resume your magic studies.? I... I would consider it a personal favor."??
?
With that, the Dragon left the chamber, exiting through the massive balcony, though instead of flying off, he chose to climb up the stones of the exterior wall until he disappeared from view.? Angus turned to Mikayla and asked "As the Master said, I am yours to command.? At least for now."

He then began concentrating and chanting, one finger touching the circle, causing the lines to begin to glow brightly, a shimmering gold with traces of black and green.? The cave floor within the circle began to change, growing first fuzzy, seemingly melting away like a fog. And then it became clear again, but it was no longer the same cave floor that they'd been looking at.? It was far below them and yet right in front of them, causing a strange feeling of vertigo in anyone who gazed upon it. ? "Okay," Flynn murmured, concentrating on his spell.?

I cain' hold this open for very long." ?

“Ready when you are, medicine man,” the bounty hunter responded, keeping a tight hold on the horses.? Disorienting was right.? He felt his mind try to make sense of this perceived change in gravity, as if his body was being dragged down and yet there was still solid ground beneath his feet.? The longer they stood there though, the heavier he felt with his stomach threatening to upchuck the contents.
“Hey, ladies.? What’s the hold up?? I don’t want to end up half here and half there.? Let’s hurry it up please!” He called out to them, looking to Callie and Etienne.? That women was hesitating, he could feel it and if she bolted like she did during their one on one talk, then they could all end up in trouble here.? It’s not like he wanted to be part of whatever this fucked up shit was, but it was clear that he had to see it through to the end.? The question was…what would happen if their troupe split up?
(Chase) He moved through the portal with his gear.? They were closer to Miller’s Crossing; he could feel it, not sure how but he knew he needed to be there, he knew they all needed to be there, particularly Etienne.? I was about the group of them being able to stop whatever this was and that was NOT going to happen if they split up.? He wasn’t a magician so he couldn’t make her come, but he was well aware that they were going to fail if one of them didn’t come.? He remembered what Amy said…they all had a role to play.? <<Please come Etienne, we need you!>> He said with almost a mental summons.? He needed her to come so he could be free, his sacrifice wouldn’t be in vain, everyone would have their playmate and he would be alone once more.? It would be as it should have been!? There was no happiness for him here!
He was rubbing both of his horses to calm them after coming through the portal.? He was holding on to the saddle horn as he got down, something told him the dark skinned maid? would be the lynchpin in all of this…but it wasn’t the reason she thought or even he thought.?

The feeling can be disorientin' when you're passin' through, 'specially since you're gonna be goin' down with this one." ? Without taking his eyes off the portal, he called out loudly toward the cave mouth.? "Callie, it's time!? Best you and Etienne get on in here and step through right quick.? I cain' hold this open for very long." ?
(Sicillien)
“Ready when you are, medicine man,” the bounty hunter responded, keeping a tight hold on the horses.? Disorienting was right.? He felt his mind try to make sense of this perceived change in gravity, as if his body was being dragged down and yet there was still solid ground beneath his feet.? The longer they stood there though, the heavier he felt with his stomach threatening to upchuck the contents.
“Hey, ladies.? What’s the hold up?? I don’t want to end up half here and half there.? Let’s hurry it up please!” He called out to them, looking to Callie and Etienne.? That women was hesitating, he could feel it and if she bolted like she did during their one on one talk, then they could all end up in trouble here.? It’s not like he wanted to be part of whatever this fucked up shit was, but it was clear that he had to see it through to the end.? The question was…what would happen if their troupe split up?
(Chase) He
moved through the portal with his gear.?
They were closer to Miller’s Crossing; he could feel it, not sure how but
he knew he needed to be there, he knew they all needed to be there, particularly
Etienne.? I was about the group of them
being able to stop whatever this was and that was NOT going to happen if they
split up.? He wasn’t a magician so he
couldn’t make her come, but he was well aware that they were going to fail if
one of them didn’t come.? He remembered
what Amy said…they all had a role to play.?
<<Please come Etienne, we need you!>> He said with almost a mental
summons.? He needed her to come so he
could be free, his sacrifice wouldn’t be in vain, everyone would have their
playmate and he would be alone once more.?
It would be as it should have been!?
There was no happiness for him here!
He was rubbing both of his horses to calm them after coming through the
portal.? He was holding on to the saddle
horn as he got down, something told him the dark skinned maid? would be the lynchpin in all of this…but it
wasn’t the reason she thought or even he thought.? He just knew if the Sicilian had to do this
on his own he would be a liability for he would be constantly thinking about
Etienne.? Surely she would come to save
his life if nothing else.??

Re: Port Vega: A Call to Brandon and Mia (Macamber, Brandon, Kites, Gen)
?[Macamber]
?
The security officer noted the brief text that popped up on her smartphone. "Good." she texted back.? "Will see you in my office when you get here.? Exercise extreme caution."? She hesitated a moment, then added "Trust no one" and hit send.??
?
Well, that's one on the way, she thought, slipping the smartphone back in her jacket.? No response from Mia yet.? She hoped that the water-whisperer wasn't being targeted, but there was no way to be sure.??
?
Checking that her office security was fully up and hadn't been compromised, Macamber pulled up two documents on her laptop and began studying them.? One was Chord's will.? The other... wasn't.? She wondered if Brandon would be able to tell the difference.? And what it would mean if he could.
?
[Gen]
?
Gen was startled when Kites picked her up bodily so that her legs were wrapped around the winged youth's waist, then carried her over to the table and rested her butt on the edge.? The closeness of Kites though chased all other thoughts from her mind, making her relax in his arms, and when he began touching her back, and then her face and thigh, her body automatically began shifting to male mode. She could feel the changes in the usual places, her face becoming leaner, her chest flattening, and of course the discomfort in his crotch as that part of him was demanding more space.? And all of him was wanting even more contact.??
?
"Is it selfish?" the androgyne mused with something of a smirk, his hands now touching Kites' face in return.? "Probably.? Now ask me if I care." Wrapping his legs even more tightly around Kites' waist, Gen pulled the other boy's face close and began kissing him hungrily.??
?
[Kites]
"I think I already know the answer," Kites murmured as he let himself be drawn in the androgyne's embrace.? Their mouths collided with force.? Lips smacking, teeth knocking, tongues lashing as they simply set about devouring each other.? Every touch that he received from his lover electrified him, causing the hairs on his arms to stand on end and set his skin on fire, flushing his whole entire body with a deep, pink hue.? His chest expanded as he inhaled Gen's scent, a cocktail of peaches and something else?that made his mind heady, making him get drunker and drunker, and dizzier and dizzier the more he was around Gen.? His sunk his hands into Gen's waist, his thumbs rolling lazy circles on the androgyne's hips, grinding their bodies together as he moaned out, pulling back for just a moment to catch his breath.
"What is is about you that makes me so crazy for you, Gen?" Kites asked, his heart beating like a machine gun.? He placed their foreheads together, willing himself to bring some semblance of control before he completely lost it.? And he was very close to it, already toeing that line of no return.? His pants felt incredibly tight, as were Gen's if his erection was of any indication, his lover's legs locking him in and not letting go.? The androgyne knew just what effect he had on the winged youth, dragging his hands through Kites's downy feathers that lined his back and surrounded his wings, causing the other to shudder in response.? "Did I tell you how dangerous that is?? If you continue touching my wings like that then I'll be forced to devour you head to toe."? Corny?? Maybe.? Did he care?? Absolutely not.
(Brandon)
He moved upstairs apparently he was in a hurry, he was only going upstairs and he moved through the common room, Brandon was already in a mood, his eyes took in everything within the room. He spotted Kites and Gen, the displeasure etched on his face if they could both see his face, which told that he?was?not in the mood.? "Can you two get a room?? You each have one, this is not the place for that...Choose one!"? He was realizing why his sister thought he was like that...was he truly that thirsty?'? Anyway he kept moving up to Macamber's office.? He had been summoned back for a reason, but was he even ready to come back?? Did it matter ready or not he had to be here, he had to close himself off and focus on the tasks at hand.? He moved into the office as he looked at Macamber.? "Yes?!?"? He asked, sounding more assured and in control than he truly felt right now, with every moment his world was crashing one more domino at a time.? He showed no real motion, it would have been a good indication to his family that something was wrong these people didn't realize it.? It didn't matter.? 'Here and now, nothing more!'? He pondered.

P.S. I removed Mia since she's in the other thread with Del, but if I was wrong to do that, please add her back in.

Re: Port Vega: The Night's Elegance
(Mia)
?
Mia liked the smoothness of Del and was glad that she didn't like to play games, especially since the last person that she liked, didn't want to be forward. She picked up the phone while at the same time handing her phone to Del after she opened up her contacts. She slid her finger across the screen and the phone lit up. "What no passcode, you are trusting of others. But I guess with your ability, you can tell when someone wouldn't be honest with your phone." Mia opened up her contact list and then entered her info. Once saved she gave Del back her phone.
?
"So, when does your shift end? Need someone to walk you home?" She asked with a twinkle in her eyes, "gives us a chance to talk some more."
?
(Del)
?
Del smiled enigmatically at Mia's comment.? "Not exactly.? But I can generally tell when someone feels... wrong.? And you feel anything but wrong."? She shrugged slightly as she added "Besides, my boss has some really good protection-apps installed in our phones.? Makes it easy to catch the dumber types who'd go for something so obvious."
?
"I'll be off soon," she went on, slipping her phone back into her jacket.? "And I don't _need_ anyone to walk me home, but company would be nice.? Especially _your_ company.? I think we can find all kinds of things to talk about..." Del casually ran her fingertip across the back of Mia's hand, her voice dropping into a deliciously silky purr "...in all kinds of ways.? People seriously underestimate just how... close... conversation can bring two complete strangers who find each other interesting."

Re: Port Vega: A Call to Brandon and Mia (Macamber, Brandon, Mia)
[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 be?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: Raconteur City: The Summoning (Pyp, Kutsuki)
(Pyp)
As soon as Kutsuki made the command, Pyp was once again clothed in his K-Pop flower-boy garb, looking like he was just about to go on stage. The demon favored his master with a mildly exasperated look.
"You still don't understand the way things work with us, Eraisama," he said, tisking loudly. "I'm just a minor demon. I can't call demons into existence. I can only bring them here from Hell. Or from elsewhere on Earth if they're not already bound. And demons don't really have 'friends'. Not in the way you mean the word. But..." he shrugged and flexed his arms outward "...I understand what you want. And that I can do."
The demon proceeded move his hands in an elaborate pattern in the air, little wisps of black and silver streaming from the tips of his fingers. A sphere formed in the air, murky at first, but then suddenly clear as crystal, with a small - and very angry - figure inside, raging away and pounding its demonic fists ineffectually at the walls of its round prison.
"Here you go, Eraisama," Pyp said genially, tossing the grapefruit-sized crystal ball to Kutsuki. "I give you the demon Kleiamus. He cannot harm you or touch you. He cannot cause you pain or discomfort of any kind, mental or physical. And he cannot damage anything outside of this sphere." The demon thought a moment, and remembered something. "Oh, yeah, you wanted him on the floor, kneeling and prostrated before you, right?" He grinned and closed his right hand into a fist. "Kneel, Kleiamus," he snickered.
Inside the sphere, a miniature floor appeared, identical to the floor in the room, and the demonling suddenly was prostrated, apparently very much against its will from the way it was cursing and glowering, first at Pyp, then at Kutsuki.
"Who the fuck are you?" Kleiamus squeaked angrily at Kutsuki. "And why am I here? This is isn't a real summoning. It's highly irregular. Highly irregular. A full report will be made. Do you hear me? A very full report!" (Kutsuki)
Kutsuki deftly caught the sphere, peering at the miniature demon trapped inside the crystal ball. ?As threatening as this Kleiamus tried to be, and gloriously failed, all it did was make the white haired summoner explode in laughter as he bent over till his head nearly touched his knees. ?Once he straightened out, he tightened his hands around it and then violently shook the ball as he watched the demon bounce around like a pinball. ?Even funnier was that when the little hellion stopped flying around, he was forced to prostrate himself on the magicked floor every single time.
“That is absolutely hilarious!” Kutsuki exclaimed, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes as he tried to stop his laughter, hiccuping a little in the attempt. ?He tossed the ball into the air a few times and then chucked it onto the bed, having gotten bored of it, for now. ?“That’s not exactly what I wanted, but seeing as you still fulfilled the request. ?What I was trying to see, or rather understand, is why upon my touching you I felt no revulsion like I do with others. ?Is it because you are a demon? ?Or is it something else? ?Perhaps it’s something in my blood.”
He mused for a bit, looking over Pyp as he stood up, letting the blanket fall off his body as he walked up to the imp. ?Reaching out with his hand. Kutsuki let his fingers glide over Pyp’s face, dragging his nails down his cheek as he then withdrew and looked at his hand with incredulity. ?It was as if he was discovering for the first time the ability to touch someone without feeling the repulsive aversion and in spite of himself he suddenly felt hungry for that touch. ?What a conflicting feeling, both wanting others to stay away from him and yet craving that closeness that he has been denied all his life.
“Why do you think that is, Pyp? ?Is this because the ritual for Beliafor, Biasophor, whatever the fuck his name is, failed?” ?He dragged a nail over the imp’s plump lower lip, sucking in a breath. ?“What is the cost of removing such a feeling? ?Is that something that you can even do?”

Re: High Moon Tales. Tales of the Wicked West.
?(Chase)
?
He merely watched what was going on around him.? His idea was simply to focus on that which was needing to be done and they needed to get to Miller's Crossing.? He wasn't sure why but because they were trying so hard to keep them from getting?there he knew that he needed to be there.? He couldn't quite put his finger on it but everything was pointing in that direction, it made him wonder about the evil that was there.? With that he gave one last go over of his weapons and gear, once they got there he was definitely going to get him some silver as everything seemed to be most affected by that...including him.? ?He moved to get his gear and his mount and was ready for porting.? "Present and accounted for."? He said mostly relaxed at the moment.? He was wearing gloves right now. The last thing he wanted to do was cut himself.
?
He watched as Callie went to the mouth of the cave, the same direction that Etienne went in.? He merely smiled to himself as he kept his thoughts to himself.? It was Sicilien that brought his attention to the forefront.? "I am as ready as I am going to get."? He smirked and patted Sicilien's shoulder.? "She is a woman, give her time...is she worth not giving up on?"? He looked at him.? He didn't even consider Etienne, knowing the shared history between the two now.? In this particular venture, he was just along for the ride.? 'A fifth wheel so to speak.'? He took a good sniff as he still swore?he smelled dead.? The decay was all around to his lupine senses.? 'There are days when I hate being a wolf!' He thought it was foul to him and he needed a bath so that didn't help either.? "Are we leaving captain?"
?
(Callie Carson)
?
?Callie looked concerned and shook her head, "No, Etienne...you can't go. We're in the middle of nowhere, for one. And I believe it was meant for the five of us to meet and complete this quest together. Don't ask how I know, because I couldn't tell you if I wanted to, but I know we were brought together for a reason...to defeat the evil at Miller's Crossing. We need you with us if we hope to succeed."
?
[Etienne]
?
Etienne smiled. But her passed would not seemed to leave her alone. He had said that if she ever saw him again, she would make her life hell. That was what this was...hell. That was what he was doing.
?
"I appreciate you saying so and looking out for me. But I know why the evil is after us. Its because of me. I am the reason why these things wants us so bad and the only way to keep you and the others safe is to distance myself from you. I know you are going to think I'm crazy, but the more I stay with you, the more danger I put you in. If I separate from you guys you don't have to go to Miller's Crossing because the evil will stop when it finds me. And you can all go about your lives. Please don't try to stop me. All I ask is that you give me a heads start before you go back to the others. And then Flynn can take you guys anywhere you wanna go that is away from here."
?
(Flynn)
?
The pookah waited until Sicilien and Chase had gathered the mounts and brought them into the circle he was tracing on the cave floor, then closed the circle with a final arc.? He then began concentrating and chanting, one finger touching the circle, causing the lines to begin to glow brightly, a shimmering gold with traces of black and green.? The cave floor within the circle began to change, growing first fuzzy, seemingly melting away like a fog. And then it became clear again, but it was no longer the same cave floor that they'd been looking at.? It was far below them and yet right in front of them, causing a strange feeling of vertigo in anyone who gazed upon it.
?
"Okay," Flynn murmured, concentrating on his spell.? "The portal's open and ready.? Chase, you and Sicilien take the horses in and anything else you wanna bring with you.? Best if you keep close to the horses to steady 'em.? The feeling can be disorientin' when you're passin' through, 'specially since you're gonna be goin' down with this one."
?
Without taking his eyes off the portal, he called out loudly toward the cave mouth.? "Callie, it's time!? Best you and Etienne get on in here and step through right quick.? I cain' hold this open for very long."
?
(Sicillien)
“Ready when you are, medicine man,” the bounty hunter responded, keeping a tight hold on the horses. ?Disorienting was right. ?He felt his mind try to make sense of this perceived change in gravity, as if his body was being dragged down and yet there was still solid ground beneath his feet. ?The longer they stood there though, the heavier he felt with his stomach threatening to upchuck the contents.
“Hey, ladies. ?What’s the hold up? ?I don’t want to end up half here and half there. ?Let’s hurry it up please!” He called out to them, looking to Callie and Etienne. ?That women was hesitating, he could feel it and if she bolted like she did during their one on one talk, then they could all end up in trouble here. ?It’s not like he wanted to be part of whatever this fucked up shit was, but it was clear that he had to see it through to the end. ?The question was…what would happen if their troupe split up?

normally get that way. "Is it your actual family? Did something
happen?"

He was certainly focused but a bit distracted. He didn't want her to think he
couldn’t keep his stuff together.? “No
love, I am good.”? But then he pauses.? “My brother called and you..you know there is
no love lost between us…but he called and wanted me to meet him later…at…the
house that we grew up in.? Neutral
territory as neither of us will exactly tear the place down.”? He stopped as he didn’t want to let worry
cross his mind, but his brother calling and not hearing from his sister set off
a few red flags that he DID NOT like.?
“So about the new recruits, what is your perception?”? He said as he moved to another topic versus
