He looked at his sister, he used to call her that when they were younger, guess she grew out of it, "okay, I won't call you that again. What time is the auction?" He asked rhetorically as he looked at his watch, "guess I have time to go and present myself. I hate those stuffy affairs, but I guess if I want to remain, alive, I guess I should go."

Victoria smirked at him. ?¡°This is one of those times where I am glad I am more lycan that nosferatu.¡± She teased about presenting himself to the Prince. ¡°The auction is at midnight. oh and one of our suppliers was hit the other night. They don¡¯t know who did, but they said the culprit shot up the place but good. The cartel is threatening to walk if we don¡¯t give them added protection.

Re: A Pirates Life (Khadashee and Draven)
Khadashee took his hand in hers. ¡°I don¡¯t need to know all your secrets, Draven. I just don¡¯t want you to deliberately keep secrets from me. Especially important things that I should know.¡± She went quiet then and took a deep breathe. ¡°I do have a question for you do you plan to leave me here and go back out to sea?¡±
(Draven)
Draven could tell that he was on the right path now and that she was on the way to forgiving him. Then she asked her question. He looked her in the eyes, "No. I have no intention of leaving you here and returning to sea. I was going to let you see the place, get to know the people, and then I was planning on discussing with you how you felt about being here where you and our child would be safe. I had no intention of quietly abandoning you here. I know that you would never forgive me for that and that you would not remain here if I did." He was telling her the truth. Yes, he would want her to remain here, but he would not ever do it without her blessing. "I love you too much to do that to you."

Re: Seeking an Audience with the Prince. [Prince of Paris, Vincent,]
(The Prince and The Lady Jacqueline) The Prince nodded when Vincent followed the his expected protocol, but he frowned when he asked to speak to him alone. ¡°Now? You wish to conduct business now. While I am entertaining?¡±
The Lady Jacqueline hid her amusement at Vincent. She didn¡¯t understand the reason for his desire to keep her out of meeting.?¡°My Lord, It seems that Vincent has some very important information for you."
¡°Really?¡± Jean-Pierre said looking at Vincent.?
¡°Indeed, Vincent has told me that what he wishes to speak to about has something to do with the American Liberator Draven Phillips and his lady.¡± Jacqueline said?
Jean-Pierre looked back at Vincent. ¡°Let us talk,¡± he said reaching out to take Jacqueline¡¯s hand. ¡°My lord, I think Vincent has requested to speak to you alone.¡± Jacqueline said. Jean-Pierre waved away the request. ¡°Bah I discuss everything with you, that is not necessary. It is Vincent?¡± He said pinning the man with a stern look.
(Vincent)
Vincent bowed his head knowing that it was a foolish request, "of course, my Lord. I ask for forgiveness for requesting to discuss business at this time and on this night. If my Lord would like to lead the way, I will follow. Thank you, my Lord." He bowed again and knew that with the Lady present, then the Prince would not have relay any information as she would hear what he had to say first hand.

Re: Blood Bonds: Unexpected Predicaments (Draven)
The woman looked at the man hanging in her bonds and chuckled. With a nod to the two men standing behind him, one stepped forward to strike Draven with a solid punch to the face and body.?¡°You do not have to tell me anything. But it would be in your best interest to speak up.¡±
(Draven)
Draven let out a couple of umphs and moans at the punches, then he looked at the woman and smiled then laughed. "Why...you...going to kill...me before...your boss...tells you to?" He knew that this wasn't the woman in charge. Something about her smelled of following orders. She was just the warden of the prison or whatever he was in and the thugs the hired help. He honestly didn't care at this point if he lived or died, but his body continued to heal, even with the few punches he had already received.

Re: Raconteur City: The Turning (Pyp, Kutsuki, NPC Nicolas)
Now this was interesting, the demon thought. ?A test of wills between his summoner and the stranger. ?He didn't think Kutsuki would just cave and follow Nicholas, but neither did he think that the man would turn back either. ?Was this the end of this would-be tryst, already? ?How disappointing. ?But at the same time, he would've also been disappointed if the white-haired youth submitted to the other's will so easily. ?He also wondered what would've happened if Kutsuki _did_ end up hooking up with the stranger. ?Nicholas didn't seem the type to take the submissive role, but neither could he see his summoner taking it willingly. Perhaps there was something worth staying tuned in for after all.
(Kutsuki) "What the fuck. ?This isn't how this is supposed to go," Kutsuki mumbled to himself. ?He felt confident enough, so why wasn't Nicholas going along with it? ?Was this because he was older, more experienced? ?Or perhaps it was some part of the handsome stranger's being felt a little less than human? ?Why wouldn't he feel the revulsion, the need to vomit otherwise? ?That's something he has experienced all his life, knew what made him tick and whatnot, and yet Nicholas wasn't raising any of those flags. ?Strange, neither did the feeling of bile enter his throat at all. ?He was...entranced. ?He wanted to know more.
"Hey! ?What's the big idea? ?When I said I wanted a room, I just meant that if we're going to dance, I'd prefer not to be surrounded by filthy, human bodies," Kutsuki blurted out as he ran to catch up with his newfound partner. ?He reached for the stranger's hand, threading his fingers through the other's, feeling that inner fire kindle back up. ?It was so, so fascinating. "I've never been out with someone who didn't want to make me vomit up my guts. ?Who are you?"
(Nicolas) As Nicolas walked he listened to Suki speaking to himself. He smiled as he heard the running feet coming and then was elated that the lad decided to take his hand versus demanding the other way around. "Well, are you not one of those filthy human bodies yourself? What is so wrong with wanting to dance in a crowd. It can be enlightening in the right setting and with the right type of people around." Nicolas said as he gave Suki another wink. "As I said, I am Nicolas, but some call me Nico. I still want to call you Suki, but Kutsuki it will be if that is what you prefer. Don't want to upset my new friend before we get to know each other better." They rounded a corner and there was a small whole in the wall place. There was a painted sign of a dragon above it and the words, The Dragon's Claw, in cursive?underneath. "And we have arrived. Listen, you can hear the bass of the music, but nothing else." He paused their walking and let Suki listen. Sure enough the place must be well insulated or something for one could not make out that there was a club there at all outside of the sign. "Ready? And I will do my best to keep you from being touched by any of them filthy human bodies."

Re: Raconteur City: The Awakening (Posting Order: Scarlett, Kitty/Katya, Hollywood/Diego/NPC Isabel, Ariein, open) Add your name as you join the thread.
Scarlett would have blushed if she were capable. She bowed her head, "Apologies, sire. I have been investigating a drug cartel which is attempting to take root here in Raconteur City. It has challenged many of the local criminal syndicates and I know it is run by vampires, not of our city."
(Hollywood) Hollywood listened to Scarlett and looked to Isabel who simply shook her head indicating that she was not aware of what Scarlett was telling them. Once Scarlett was finished, "I see. And of the local mobs, what have they done to try and stop this cartel? Do you have names of these vampires?" She asked more intrigued now of what Scarlett was telling her.
(Kitty/Katya)
The two remained in their seats, but were both also intrigued by what Scarlett was saying. Katya quickly started texting one of her contacts to see if they have heard anything about this cartel. Kitty wondered if they had anything to do with the vampire that Cho had killed. Could she have been a decoy for something more sinister?

Time didn't seem to pass as they made their way along the cavern floor. Outside of the glow created by the floating wisp, everything was darkness.

"We're gonna need to stop here," Flynn said after a while, though whether it was hours or minutes, they weren't certain. "The horses need rest and so do we."

Re: Port Vega: Seizing the Moment (Kites, Gen)

?
Reaching up, Gen put his own hand on top of Kites', pressing it against his face, enjoying the warmth and the contact.? "No more selfish than me craving your touch in any mode," he murmured, his eyes staring deep into the winged youth's.? "Or me craving that touch everywhere, like I am right now."
?
With that, the androgyne reached down and began tugging Kites' undies down insistently, barely letting his lover lift his butt before pulling them all the way down and off, leaving both of them completely naked now.? He then began running his fingers, lightly, reverently, over the other youth's smoothly muscled chest, as if trying to understand what he was seeing and touching.??
?
"I still marvel at the reality of the sensations of this," Gen said half to himself.? "It's so much more than what the books said it would be.? I know all the words, all the terms, all the things I should say, but all I can think of right now is how much..."? He moved to straddle Kites once more, then leaned forward till his face was hovering above the other boy's, his aching length pressed hard along that of the winged youth's beneath him "...how very, very much... I just want you," he finished, closing his mouth over his lover's.
?
[Kites]
"Does that mean that I'm the experiment now?" Kites joked, alluding to Gen's origins, as he pulled his lover down, cradling the back of Gen's neck with his hand.? His heartrate ticked up another few notches as their lips connected, his tongue boldly venturing forth as they met in the middle.? The kisses, or was it still just one uninterrupted one?, were greedy, needy and entirely selfish, taking and taking and taking as they refused to separate.? It wasn't until his lungs screamed for air that Kites finally disconnected, a string of spit briefly connecting them before it broke.
The winged youth looked down their bodies, his other arm snaking between them to wrap his hand around their manhoods, squeezing as he pumped his hand once, twice, and a little more, feeling like his chest was hefting the weight of the world based on how heavily he was panting.? His knees rose up, pressing against Gen's behind, pushing him forward.
"I feel like I have been waiting for this since the moment I met you," Kites admitted, feeling heady as his eyes glazed over looking over at the androgyne.? To think that a single kiss was the catalyst that started this rampaging fire.? "I want you so bad that it hurts, Gen.? There's no other place that I'd rather be than here.? Please, Gen, let me make you mine."

He knew Sicilien was love sick and he understood. Not that he could blame him, but it wasn¡¯t so long ago that he was smitten by Etienne a bit himself. But he was more than aware that there was no room for him, with another man pining after her. Wasn¡¯t like they were more than interest anyway and mostly on his part. But he could see the connection between them was similar to his own with his ex, once upon a time.
But right now, the time for reflection was gone and now their merry band was down by one and for whatever was supposed to happen, required five! Which left him with the feeling that they were walkin¡¯ into hell on a snowball. It made him wonder in truth what was the point? Surely they could all count and try to have four people create five part magic, could they not all see the futility of it all at this point. They were walking to their doom, he could only shrug as they were all bound to die from something anyway. Trying to save the world was as good of a reason as any he supposed. ¡°I will meet you all there then.¡± He said moving down the now lit corridor, the somber image upon him remained, as he and his steed kept moving.

Time didn't seem to pass as they made their way along the cavern floor.? Outside of the glow created by the floating wisp, everything was darkness.? The cavern walls echoed the sounds of their boots and and their horses' hooves as they walked, but that was the only sound they heard.? The darkness swallowed everything else.

"We're gonna need to stop here," Flynn said after a while, though whether it was hours or minutes, they weren't certain.? "The horses need rest and so do we."? The pookah unsaddled his horse and made a makeshift bed on the rocky floor.? "We'll need to keep a watch though.? I'm hopin' we're goin' along unseen down here, but I don' want to gamble our lives on.? Whatever was doggin' us before isn' likely to just give up."
