Re: Raconteur City: The Awakening (Posting Order: Scarlett, Kitty/Katya, Hollywood/Diego, open) Add your name as you join the thread.
Scarlett watching Katrina/Katya as she introduced herself, then was immediately preoccupied with a pager she plucked from her pocket. When she had noted the readout on the device and put it away, Scarlett smiled and extended a hand to the other vampire.
"Scarlett MacAleister. It's a pleasure to meet you, Katya."?Immediately she wondered if the girl had heard her name before, or if she'd been forgotten during her years of exile. Regardless, she waited to see what her reaction would be.
(Katya/Kitty) Katya shook the ladies hand, "Nice to meet you as well, Scarlett." Katya didn't seem to react at all to the name. She had heard of the woman in the past, but really didn't mean anything to her either way. "Have you met the Prince before? I have heard of her, but have not ever met her personally."
Kitty's eyes widened a moment when Scarlett introduced herself. She wondered why she was here or had she never left Raconteur City. "I am Kitty and I have met Prince Hollywood before she went to slumber. She can be a bit intense. So, Scarlett, have you been back in the city long?"
Katya looked at Kitty and gave the girl a smile. She knew this vampire. She was always perky and upbeat. She couldn't think of a time when she had seen the girl unhappy. Then she looked to Scarlett, when there was a sudden dinging of a bell. The doors at the opposite end of the room from where they had entered opened...
(Hollywood/Diego) ...and Hollywood stepped through with a black wolf at her side. She entered the room and made her way to the dais?that was adjacent to the doors and to the ebony carved throne and stood in front of it as she surveyed the room. She would wait for quiet to fully take the room and then she would sit, for she knew that none of them would take a seat until she did, and she didn't like to keep everyone standing.

He looked at the tray, then added the pot of hot broth the man had been preparing to it before carrying it up the stairs.? He glanced back in annoyance that the sounds Branson was making banging on the pantry door.? "Och haud yer wheesht, ye silly jimmy," he muttered.? "Nothing's aff tae hurt ye in thare."
?Jaimie blinked when Scheherazade opened the door to her room before he'd had a chance to.? "Sorry, mistress," the young ghost said, ducking his head in apology, but keeping the tray in his hands steady.? "Ah didnae mean tae friten ye." ?
?"Ah brought ye something tae taps aff yersel' wi'," Jaimie said, coming into the room.? He looked around for Callum but didn't see the laird anywhere.? He hoped nothing bad had happened, but focused on tending to Scheherazade.? "Ah will juist set it 'ere fur ye," he said, setting the tray on the night stand near the bed.? "Ye kin dram it while ah stoke th' fire up a bawherr."? With that, he began tending the fire in the fireplace, careful not to stand where the mistress might see through him in the brighter light. ?

Sam smiled. ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± she stepped back allowing the younger man access to her room. ¡°You didn¡¯t have to go to all the trouble. I know where the kitchen is I could have gotten something for myself, but I thank and appreciate your thoughtfulness all the same..¡±
Sam moved to sit in one of the two chairs surrounding the hearth. She picked up the cup and sniffed. ¡°Chicken noddle soup. Umm this was my favorite as a child. My mother and I would make it from scratch together. Thank you Jaimie this is really sweet.¡±?
picking up the cup, she first blew on the liquid then sipped. ¡°So tell me about yourself, Jaimie. I know you said your family has worked here for generations, but what makes you decided to stay?¡±

"Aye, my love," Andrew murmured, kissing her back with equal passion. "You've my word on it.? The ring and the knee when we reach France, with wedding shortly thereafter."? He grinned as he added "I'll have to invite the crew, of course, but I'll insist on their very best behavior."
?
Two days later, they were underway, the Elusive heading out to sea once again, a stiff wind whipping at the sails above them.? Andrew ordered the crew to keep a sharp watch for any ships that might appear on the horizon.? For the first five days, no ships of any kind were sighted.? A couple of ships were sighted after that, but were obviously headed in directions that would not bring them any closer.? On the seventh day however...
?
"Captain," the first mate said, coming close enough to be heard but quiet enough not to be overheard, "I think we're being shadowed.? I keep seeing something on the horizon, but only for a moment and then it's gone.? But it keeps coming back, and always in the same place.? Shall I order more sail to be put on? I'll wager the Elusive can outrun them easily."

"Not just yet," Andrew said after a moment.? "But change our course a bit.? 30 degrees east-southeast." He smiled thinly as he acknowledged the man's salute and departure.? "Let's see what they do, if anything."

Re: Raconteur City: The Summoning (Pyp, Kutsuki, Vampire NPC)

"As Eraisama wishes."? The boyish-faced demon smirked and made an exaggeratedly elaborate bow, then walked backward, the door to the room opening behind him.? As soon as he stood just outside the threshold to the room, he looked up to Kutsuki once again.? "Someone is lying, true.? But it's not me, Eraisama.? It's not me.? And we both know that."
?
"At any rate though, I'm now 'out', as you ordered."? Pyp grinned, clearly enjoying himself.? "Is there anything else you wish of me?? Or shall I just fuck off until you decide what it is you really want?"

[Kutsuki]
"You can fuck off for all I care," Kutsuki snarled, walking up to the door which he slammed in the imp's face.? He stood with his arms crossed, chewing on his thumb as he scowled at the room, his thoughts racing as he set his mind to action and then started stripping off.? Gone were his pants and underwear, wiping his sweat off with some body towelettes.? He would've preferred a shower, but there was that one obstacle standing on the bottom of his stairs? that he didn't want to waltz by naked.
Moments later, he was dressed in tight black jeans; a gray woven cashmere sweater with a loose, piling turtle neck; black ankle socks and Nike sneakers; completing his ensemble with a sporty, leather jacket into which he plopped his cell phone and his wallet, going up to the dressed as he peered into the mirrors.? A brief sweep through his tousled hair with some gel and an application of a clamshell pink lipstick and he was ready.
"I'm going out," Kutsuki stated as he opened the door, still seeing the impishly grinning hellion as he pushed past him.? "Go take the night off or something.? Do whatever it is you demons do when you're idle, but don't follow me.? I don't need another hovering gnat."
He left the house, locking the door behind him.? The night was young, cold and bright.? His breaths came out in puffy clouds as his legs took him into the city.? Where, he didn't know.? All that he did was that he needed to get out, get away, get a breath of fresh air.? The thought of being able to touch something without feeling the lifelong revulsion excited him.? Who else, what else could he if not a human?? Raconteur was, after all, a supernatural hotbed.? Why not have a little fun, see what he could get up to?? So with that idea in mind, he headed towards the places where the supernatural was the norm and not the exception.

Re: High Moon Tales. Tales of the Wicked West.
Callie,
convinced she¡¯d seen the last of Etienne, was in no mood for Sicilien¡¯s
rantings. She was also convinced their quest to get to Miller¡¯s Crossing was going
to fail, because it was beginning to sound like most in the group were fixed on
abandoning the mission.
When
Sicilien grabbed Flynn and began shaking him, demanding to go back, Callie had
heard and seen enough. Her pistol cleared its holster, and she placed the
barrel firmly against the back of Sicilien¡¯s head.
¡°Let¡him¡go!¡±
she hissed through clenched teeth. ¡°She¡¯s gone. Now pull it together and let¡¯s
get moving. We need to get to Miller¡¯s Crossing¡I have business there and we¡¯re
going to end it once and for all.¡±
-Etienne-
Etienne kept her head bowed as the voice on
the wind spoke. Often, he spoke in riddles and threats. Ruling her by force and
fear. Even now his words said he would kill and hurt those who she intended to
protect both if she did what his bidding and even if she did not. It was a
terrible existence for one who did not wish to do others harm. And she never
did. Being what she was did not mean she had to act as the other of her
kind did...and often she did not. She wanted to be a creature of love and
light. But she was not allowed to be. It was why she ran in the first
place. So that maybe she could be happy. It was why she saw an opportunity to
use his words against him and fled into the night. She took it.
She remembered when Sicilien found her. How timid she was...how
scared. But he had been so kind and so gentle with her. He had coaxed her out
of her shell. Together they had been so happy once. He and her. She would sit
upon the porch and watch him shoot and tend to the ranch. And then he would
come in and they would make love all night. But he had found her again. Wishing
their baby away...leaving her no choice but to hurt him...and to run.
She was not going to run this time. She wanted this over and she
would stop at nothing to end it.
"I hear you o lord. But I had not done what you accuse me
of. I just want peace. To live my life in peace. For those that I care for to
be able to live in peace. I will come to you. I will submit myself to you for
punishment and subjugation yet again, but please. I beg of you. Leave the other
alone. Please."
Such a happy time. _._,_._,_
(Flynn)
The Pookah was
startled when Sicilien frantically grabbed him by the shirt and started shaking
him, demanding to be sent back to the upper cave where Etienne had stayed
behind. He was relieved when Callie swiftly put a gun to the man's head and
ordered him to let Flynn go.
"Ah'd listen
to the lady, Sicilien," he said quietly, meeting the man's wild-eyed gaze
with a calm one of his own. "We're not going back up. And if'n
you force me to waste any glamour on you, ah'll drop you down to an even lower
cavern with no way out of it and just leave you there. If Callie don't blow
your head off first, that is." He shrugged slightly in Sicilien's
grip. "Either way, the rest of us are goin' on. Like Callie
says, there's business there we gotta tend to. Your choice, big
fella. But if'n ah was you, ah know which one ah'd pick."
<<Voice in the
darkness>>
¡°You would beg me now, when all you had to do was stay in the first place?¡± The voice alone was flaming anger, he had
every intention of making her watch as her lover burned¡how dare she love another
besides him! She ran and was happy with
another and it seared his very being! ¡°You didn't? You left me and loved
another. Tell me you didn¡¯t do this?
Come to me, once more child.¡± He was
silent. "Wait there!"
The moans and shambling ceased. From
where he was he looked at his other female slave. ¡°Do you think you can retrieve her without¡failing
me again?¡± The ghostly hollow of his
voice seemed to float upon the wind. He
didn¡¯t wait for her response, he knew what it was. ¡°Go retrieve her¡make it hurt!¡± He moved towards the saloon now making his
way inside, grabbing a bottle as he waited in his dark corner watching. He felt them closer, he smiled even as life
in Miller¡¯s Crossing seemingly went back to normal.
<Chase>
¡°So this is what we have come too?
Killing our own? What is the
point if we are simply going to slaughter each other? We have already lost.¡± He looked at them all more than
exasperated. He honestly couldn¡¯t wait
for this to be over!!!
He waited for the Sicilien to get himself together, right now there was still a
chance to save her or go after her, but he wasn¡¯t getting there by magical
means, that was for damned sure!
[Sicilien]
"You don't understand what it's like for me to lose, gain, and lose again the essence of my life!" the bounty hunter snapped, his eyes throwing daggers at the medicine man and his gun slinging lover.? "Like a ghost she came into existence, and like a ghost she left it.? Poof.? Smoke and mirrors."? But he was no fool.? Sicilien immediately dropped his hold on Flynn's collar when the cold hollow of the metal barrel kissed the skin on the back of his head.? He drew his hands up, stepping away from Flynn, wearing a scowl on his face but making no other movements that would cost him the one price he wasn't willing to pay.? Yet.
"My apologies," he finally said after taking a few deep breaths, counting to ten, and then relaxing, his shoulders drooping in response.? Sicilien touched the stone wall of the cavern, looking up as his fingers curled into a fist and then his arm dropped to his side.? "None of ya'll have done wrong by me, and I won't do wrong by you either.? I'm ready to go on."

Re: Port Vega: Night Time Conversations (Keira and Raine)
(Raine) Didn't expect her cold nature...at least not towards him.? But apparently even now he was on his own.? He didn't know what he expected but none of that mattered when she left the room, he left the area as well.? If he was to be alone, he might as well be alone.? Perhaps his caring for her had been misplaced after all.? With that he was gone a flash of light left nothing there.? He would be back...or not!
(Kiera) Kiera had managed to go back to sleep after leaving Steven the way she did. The morning sun brushed across her eyes and she blinked then stretched. She laid there thinking, was she to harsh, uncaring? She wasn't sure, but she knew that she couldn't handle him being that distraught over people who would spit at him rather than give him guidance. Except for Ireland, she was the only one who ever showed him any kind of affection out of the three of them.
She climbed out of bed, showered and dressed for the day. She went to Raine's room to find it empty. Maybe he was working out his loss, so she went to the mansion's gym, but he wasn't there either. Deciding that she wasn't going to spend all day looking for him she went to the White Lighters headquarters and looked at the video from the surveillance cameras footage from the night before. She found where she had left him then watched as he simply disappeared in a flash of light. "Hm, I wonder."?

Re: Raconteur City: The Awakening (Posting Order: Scarlett, Kitty/Katya, Hollywood/Diego, open) Add your name as you join the thread.
(Katya) Katya arrived at the Midnight Society and was quickly escorted to the main throne room, as she called it, by Mr. Burke, the dark skinned vampire who had been greeting all to the Midnight Society for the last few years. She couldn't recall when he actually started there, just that he had been there a while and was always nice to look at.
Once inside she saw a red head vampire taking in the d¨¦cor?of the room, "I always liked this room. Made me think of a simpler time, I am Katrina Deupree, but most call me Katya." She introduced herself as she poured herself her own glass of blood wine. Her pager went off and she quickly glanced at it. There was a coded message from Layla, the vampire had managed to get the remaining files out of Arrow's place before Ashton had arrived. "And you are?" She put the pager away and went back to meeting the red head.
(Kitty to Cho) "Ah, well, see that is it then. You killed a vampire without just cause, more or less." Kitty said as she hopped off of the stool. "I have to get going or I am going to be late to meet the newly awakened Prince. I understand that it was a matter of you or her, but Cho, you could have handled her a differently without killing her in a supernatural way. That is what set the cosmos off balance. I will see you later and hope the prince doesn't decide that you have to come before her for a trial or anything. Hugs." With that Kitty placed her empty glass on the bar along with some cash and skipped out of the place and made her way to the Midnight Society.
Once there she took Mr. Burke's arm, "tell me, Mr. B, what do you know about this newly awakened prince of ours. Is she in a good mood?" Kitty knew Hollywood from before she went to slumber. She had made a mark before then but wondered what a decade of sleep had done for the woman. Mr. Burke responded, "I am not sure, Ms. Kitty. I have not spoken with her since she has awakened and been infused. I suppose I will see when everyone else does. Enjoy yourself but stay out of trouble now." He said as he let her slip from his arm and left her to head into the main conference room and headed back to the front entrance to await more vampires.
Once inside Kitty spotted Katya. With a smirk she got her own bit of refreshments, then skipped to the two ladies and waited to speak while the other two were introducing themselves to one another.
(Hollywood/Diego) Hollywood headed to the security room and surveyed?the cameras in the throne room to see how many vampires had arrived. There were about 30 already and she looked at the time. It was 3:10, she would give them 5 more minutes before making her entrance. She did send out that she would give everyone until 3:15, then they would be late. (Scarlett MacAlelister)
Scarlett watching Katrina/Katya as she introduced herself, then was immediately preoccupied with a pager she plucked from her pocket. When she had noted the readout on the device and put it away, Scarlett smiled and extended a hand to the other vampire. "Scarlett MacAleister. It's a pleasure to meet you, Katya." Immediately she wondered if the girl had heard her name before, or if she'd been forgotten during her years of exile. Regardless, she waited to see what her reaction would be...

He didn't plan on going back but he still wanted to see them all from time to time.? His family...dead!? Just thinking the word made it difficult to breathe.? "All of them save h...Brandon are dead.? He was going to investigate, but I don't know..anymore."? He took another swig.
(Kiera) Kiera didn't know what to say. She had never seen Steven like this before. He did seem weak or was it being lost. She wasn't going to coddle him. So, she stood up and spoke.?
"I am sorry that your family is gone, but you all have been estranged for a long time now, except for Ireland. Her I can understand you mourning, but your father and that woman. I am going to go back to bed and leave you to your mourning. I hope that you will have this all out of your system by the dawn." With that she turned and strolled away back to her bedroom.?
Once the door was closed she smiled, the leader of the group she was trying to work around was gone. Now that too big for his breeches, Brandon was in charge. Life for the White Lighters had just turned a rather interesting corner.?
(Raine)
Didn't expect her cold nature...at least not towards him.? But apparently even now he was on his own.? He didn't know what he expected but none of that mattered when she left the room, he left the area as well.? If he was to be alone, he might as well be alone.? Perhaps his caring for her had been misplaced after all.? With that he was gone a flash of light left nothing there.? He would be back...or not!??

Re: Blood Bonds: Prisoner Once More (Anais, Vincent/Chantel)
Vincent)
Vincent simply stood there wondering what the woman found so hysterical. Then he looked up at the camera in the room and gave them a hand signal and suddenly the room started filling with a colorless and odorless gas that as she laughed it would sedate her. Not knock her unconscious, just sedate her enough to stop the hysterical laughter. As the place filled, Vincent stepped out the door and walked down the hallway.?

Anais?
As he left out the door, a howling belly laugh could be heard behind him. The ?sound of her laughter so loud those on the floor could hear. As the room filled, her laughed died down but did not stop.?
She had accomplished exactly what she wanted to with him, so that even though the gas calmed her, the smile never left her face. she learned so much more than she had before. And that was a win to her. When the gas cleared her mind, she would consider, namely his talk of her wolf.

Re: Blood Bonds: Prisoner Once More (Anais, Vincent/Chantel)
Anais watched him. The way he stood there¡so smug. So self assured. So thinking he had won. Without a word, she laughed. Hard hysterical laughter. The sound despite sounding like the giddiness of children at first soon, bloomed into a Sound that was so loud and full it wrung out into the halls behind the doors.
Soon The laughter was so strong?she had to hold her belly because she couldn¡¯t?even catch her breathe. She was gasping even as she tried to calm down . But every time she looked at him, the laughter would bubble up again and she would began to laugh so hard tears flowed from her eyes again.

Re: Port Vega: Night Time Conversations (Keira and Raine)
(Raine)
"I didn't want you...to see me in my weakened condition."? He knew deep down it wasn't weakness, but he just felt weak...helpless.? The power of a god, his father told him once, reduced to a speck of dust barely a mote.? When his sister needed him most...he wasn't there.? Her words hit him but feel flat...how could he have known?? But why didn't he see it that way.? He...he just hurt!?

Re: Blood Bonds: Finding Anais (Draven, Belanie)
(Draven)
"Very well. Why did you have your men insist that I come here in the first place? Was there a problem with me hunting in a public park?" He asked as he sipped his wine now really wondering why he was asked to come here. Did she have something to do with the girl he had fed from or the territory he was in? It wasn't like witches to care what or where vampires hunted...at least none from his past anyway.
?
: Belanie
¡±Because it is not a public park. The section you were hunting in belongs to me. No vampire is allowed to commit such an egregious transgressions without paying tribute. I heard about your arrogance. And the flippant way you responded to being informed of what you did. .I had my men bring you to me because I wanted to see what kind of man you are.¡±
