Re: New beginnings (Katya and Ashton)
Ashton was watching her.? They had been together long enough that he could read her a little bit things had been a bit different but they always fell back into that place of love and devotion cause he truly did love her.? She was the one good piece of his life that still remained.
He was getting used to eating with her not just drinking and having her drink from him again was welcomed as it made them more connected. ?¡°Fair enough.¡± ?He responded as he watched her drink.? He sat to eat as she went to the kitchen and came back. ?
He wasn¡¯t so blinded by her beauty that he didn¡¯t know when something was bothering her.? Their life was clearly more than the physical between them.? But she was reaching for something with her question. ?¡°Yeah, I was why?¡± ?He had been dealing with a few¡shippers and slavers.? It was him doing what he did and he was thinking he had dealt with them pretty nicely all things considered.? He hated slavers with a passion, peddling women, kids a few males every now and then. ?¡°Is something wrong?¡±
(Katya) Katya took a seat across the table from him, "Well, yes.? The shippers you took care of last night, were not part of the human trafficking chain.? I think you may have been given some wrong information.? They worked for me."? She took up her blood bag and drained it through the "straw", letting him process this sudden information.? Once she was done she asked, "where did you get the information from and how long ago?? Because I cleaned out the human traffickers from the east docks when we first arrived here in New Orleans."

REPOST: Blood Bonds: Family Ties
(Anais) Anais did not expect any other voice to speak but Draven¡¯s so she was a bit taken aback at the sound of the female voice. However upon seeing the beautiful woman with the dark black hair, she knew this was Draven¡¯s mother. She found herself growing even more anxious under the woman¡¯s scrutiny. She stood quietly watching the two.
She smiled. And then a feeling a longing filled her soul. What would it be like to have grown up with a mother who would hold her and look upon her the way Draven¡¯s mother Serene looked at him right now.
When Draven introduced her, Anais curtsied. Draven¡¯s family was legendary, even to someone who was as sheltered as she was. She knew that he hailed from a long line of first born¡vampires believed to be blessed and turned by the Gods.??¡°I look forward to hearing the story,¡± Anais said with a smile ¡°Is it okay if I hug you?¡±
(Serena/Draven)
Serena gave Anais a smile and held her arms out, "Yes, my dear, it is."? Her embrace was warm and inviting, not at all what one would expect from someone so ancient.? After the embrace she turned to walk beside Anais and placed a gentle hand on the lady's back, "tell me Anais, is there anything you wish while you and Draven visit?"
Draven stepped behind the ladies and walked silently letting them chat with each other as they walked towards a gazebo in the rear of the garden.? The smell of jasmine filled the air and the night was peaceful as the moon rose on the horizon.

REPSOT: A Pirates Life (Khadashee and Draven)
(Khadashee) ¡°Thank you,¡± Khadashee whispered in return to Draven. ?Taking the bread. Ripping a piece of bread away, Khadashee began to nipple upon it. Sa¡¯id also noticed the pale parlor of his queen. And though he recognized it for what it was, he knew that it could not be possible.?
However, he remained quiet listening to the Captain. Based on his calculations they were still about a day and a half away. Which meant they would arrived at night. That was good because maybe then he could talk them out of this craziness about Draven.
(Draven/NPCs) Draven gave Khadashee a smile before eating.? He was glad for the food even though he hadn't thought he was hungry earlier. "About two days time last I spoke with the quarter master.? Depends on the winds of course.? Could be sooner or longer.? For now we are right on course."? He began to eat then and watched the others.? There was some tension from the one gent towards the other Captain, but they all seemed to want to get along for the lady's sake.? This was going to be an interesting voyage for sure.

Re: REPOST: New beginnings (Katya and Ashton)
?(Ashton) He could see she was in a mood, but he didn't laugh or chuckle as that might aggravate her more. "It was work my heart. Did I wake you with my shower?" He asked thinking he wanted to spend time with her but she was on her side of the bed and he wasn't exactly sure what he might have done wrong...his job didn't change he was still a hunter. "I did some scouting, some exploring and dealt with a few issues. Why baby? What's wrong?" He was turning his head to the side as seems they had gone from good to another different layer. She was drinking and he could think of something else to feed her but now here they were. (Katya) Katya gave Ashton a smile. "No, your shower didn't wake me. I just wanted to go for a morning run and woke as you got up." She took a few sips of her drink. She saw his face and gave him another smile, "I think you forget that I really don't consume food as often as someone who doesn't drink blood for a living. Sorry, it does smell good. Just not in the mood for it." She went to a small fridge next to the main one and got out a blood bag, then took a seat at the table. She had forgotten briefly that he knew what she was and she could partake of a blood bag in front of him. The bourbon was forgotten. What's wrong...she thought about the question.

Re: The Door Between Two Worlds [Roue and Rabbit] (closed)
[Roue]
"Wait, do you mean I'm the first person that came through a door in Midgard that you know of?" Roue asked incredulously, staring back at his host with wide eyes.? "A-are you saying that there could be others from my world here?? Or was I the first to step through a door, any door, into this place?"? He wanted, no, needed to get that clarification.? Just thinking about the possibility of Midgardians having found this place and left his world...perhaps to never come back, perhaps to return only much wiser and more learned about the ways of the universe was electrifying.? The world that he knew, as small as it has seemed before, now just had expanded tenfold and every answer that he got bore two more questions in its wake.? But he wanted to show off too, to show Rabbit what he was capable of so when the smaller..."vampire"...asked him about it, he couldn't hold back.
"Magic, yes...? Those who have shown the aptitude for elemental control are typically sent to the mage academy, myself included.? Though being an elf gives me a one-up on most beginners in this craft.? Our race is naturally attuned to this chaotic energy, and studying it further allows us to hone this so that we can shape the world to our will," Roue explained, looking back at his table guest.? "However, whether magic can be weaved depends on the concentration of chaos around you.? Very little of it means not much can be done...there could be places with magical starvation, natural or artificial.? This place seems to be rich in it, though.? I can feel it.? The fact that this exists between worlds as you explained is a testament to that."
Without further adieu, Roue grabbed hold of the napkin that the waitress left behind with his waters.? His eyes began to glow with a soft blue hue as he concentrated upon the corner of the cloth.? At first, the tip began to smoke as the edges slowly turned black, but then shortly after a flame sparked to life, eating at the fraying fibers around it.? Placing it into an empty cup, he left the fire continue to consume its host as he freed his hands, pointing his index fingers at each other.? In a split second, a little zap of static electricity arched between his fingers and disappeared, leaving a slightly tingling feeling behind.? Looking around, he tried to find something with which he could demonstrate the earth powers, spotting a piece of stray fruit peel, orange from the looks of it, which he bent down and picked up.? He placed it upon the table and placed his hands atop it.? He clenched his jaw then moved his hands away, revealing that the previously colorful peel now has turned gray and ashen, stiff as a board when he took it into his hands and easily broke into halves when he applied some pressure.? Lastly, the elf took hold of a cup of water, taking a sip to cleanse his parched throat.? Right before he put it down, however, he draw his right hand over his mouth and as he parted his lips, he let loose a quick breath of arctic air upon the surface of the drink as it suddenly turned translucent, opaque as the effect cascaded down until the liquid had completely frozen solid.? Placing the cup onto the table with a clink, he pushed it towards Rabbit so that he could see the proof of it himself.
"I wouldn't say you are not important, Rabbit.? You are able to exist in this in-between world, are you not?? We all have our place in the world, even me, even if I don't belong," he said the last part a bit bitterly, looking away for a second.? "But I am quite curious about you.? You say you need blood to survive...how do you get it?? Do you have willing participants...or do you partake much like you did with me?"? Internally, he had to admit that he suddenly felt inflamed about thinking that, but it was not place.? Not with someone whom he's just barely met.? It was inappropriate and he wasn't going to say a bit about that.? "Is that...is that why you refused to kiss me...at that time?? Because you could've bitten me?"? His own cheeks flushed this time, but he had to know.
(Rabbit)
"There m-might be others from this Midgard place you're from," Rabbit said, biting his lip. "But I wouldn' know for sure.? I n-never heard the, uhm, name before you told me about it. I could ask some of the o-others about it though, if'n you want me to."
The little vampire listened to Roue try to explain some of the basics about magic, but only looked kind of blank, clearly not understanding it.? He did flinch backwards though when the elf suddenly set a cloth napkin on fire, fire not being one of his (or any vampire's) favorite things. The other tricks Roue did were not as frightening, fortunately, and Rabbit watched with open curiosity, careful though to not sit too close. ?
"Wow," Rabbit murmured when the elf ended his little demonstration. Looking up at Roue once again, he was quiet for a moment before saying "Your eyes get really, uhm, pretty when you do that.? Is that like, you know, p-part of the magic?"
"How to I get b-blood?" the little vampire said, fidgeting uneasily on his stool.? "It, uhm, you know, depends.? On, like, where I am, and who I'm with.? It's b-better when it's with someone I know, and who kn-knows me and what I am.? But I cain' always c-count on that.? So sometimes I have to go, you know, out..." he nodded at what appeared to be a door on the other side of their corner of the club "...and f-find someone.? I... I kinda, uhm, you know, s-seduce them.? It makes it easier for me to, you know, feed if they're distracted by the s-sex 'n stuff goin' on.? And it makes the blood, you know..."? he looked like he'd be blushing except for the lack of any color rushing to his face "...t-taste better." ?
"I didn' kiss you 'cause.. 'cause you had me, you know, all w-worked up 'n aroused," he murmured, shrugging awkwardly.? "What that happens, my... my fangs kinda, you know, come out.? I was afraid of how you'd react if'n you say my fangs and you didn', you know, kn-know what I was."

Re: Port Vega: What Happens Next

At Kat¡¯s words, Chord smiled then came to walk around to the other side of the desk. He perched on the edge and said?
?
¡°First I want to tell you thank you for saying that. I really appreciate that. I want to reassure you did not screwed up. None of you did. As I expressed to you all, yesterday¡®s exercise was twofold.? One, to build camaraderie between team and two to assess your skills. It was supposed to be hard. Harrison designed exercise? to exert the maximum about of stress and pressure on the team. Her theory is the test is design to weed out the diamonds from the cubic zirconia. As you know both stones are made the exact same way but only one is considered a precious stone.
?
¡°And I¡¯m inclined to agree. It¡¯s suppose to feel like the hardest thing you ever done.? And please understand we never had the expectation for perfection just professionalism.
?
¡°My explanation yesterday might not have been clearly understood especially since yesterday emotions were on high on all our parts. As team mentor, my apology. I take full responsibility for that.?
?
¡°My intention for today was to get an understanding of the mindset of the team and your ability to trust the direction of myself and Harrison even even if you don¡¯t completely agree and if was possible to have a salvageable working relationship. I take full responsibility for the unfortunate fact that neither the former or the later seemed possible.
?
¡°I do want to let you know that what I saw was impressive. You all seemed to have a knack for this work. You abilities during the obstacle course Kat showed that you have a very bright future ahead of you if you decided to continue with this kind of work. I just implore you, do not try to do it on your own. It¡¯s dangerous. Please get some formal training. Promise me that if you continue you will do so.¡± He said leveling her with a stern look.
?
As for Brandon is concern, he is a grown man. I placed no prerequisites for caveats on his love life. What you to do in your private life is your business and you both have my blessing if you want to explore this relationship. just keep in mind that I¡¯m the dad. I¡¯m easy. it is his mother and his sister that you may have to negotiate¡± he said with a wink.
(Kat)
? ?Kat listened as Chord explained his thoughts on what she said and on the past two days. She grinned at he said that he holds no prerequisites for caveats on Brandons love life and that he gave his blessing. "I appreciate that you let Brandon chose who he wants in his life as a love interest. It also warms my heart that you have given your blessing. It really does mean a lot to me." He could hear the sincerity in her voice. "I would like to talk with Harrison about Brandon ad how I feel. I want her to know that I am not just a or night stand."
? ?She leaned forward a little. "I want to continue. It has been a long time since I felt like I could accomplish more in my life. More than what I am doing now." She let out a small sigh as she looked down in her lap briefly. She looked back up at Chord. "I know that the program is done. But is there a way for me to train? I have the means to create something similar to your training room but no where near as sophisticated. If I could stay, possibly use the training rooms? I want to get better. I want to help others. (pause) I am just unsure on how to go about it."

Kites noticed how the man who
introduced himself as Raine shook his hand just as firmly.? However unlike
his own gesture, his grip felt confident and self-assured, the complete and
total opposite of how he was feeling in this moment.? When Raine guessed
at his bird species, however, he couldn't help but chuckle a little, hiding his
smile behind a fist, using it as an excuse to cough and clear his throat.
?
"It was a good guess, but
no.? Completely different avian family," Kites responded, shaking his
head.? "My species is a swallow kite...accipitriformes order,
accipitridae family."? When he realized just how nerdy he sounded, he
clammed up, feeling his cheeks flush with color.? This man must've thought
he was a complete and total dweeb, but when he looked back up at him, Raine
didn't seem to be sneering or looking back at him in disgust.? Instead,
his expression was one of calmness and he seemed to have a genuine smile so
perhaps he was being too judgemental here.? So when the man indicated that
he was one of the workers here, Kites didn't question it.? He would be a a
complete fool if he had revealed he didn't realize there was others here
besides his fledgling team, having been so consumed with Gen and nothing but.
?
"Um, well...today...no, that
was yesterday, we were just doing our first training test, but we didn't
exactly perform to expectations.? In fact, it was a miserable
failure," he answered to Raine's question on what was dampened his
spirits.? It's not like Kites was hiding, or at least able to hide, his
feelings.? His demeanor was clear for the whole world to see.?
"I'm not yet sure what all I can do...maybe this was test was meant to
show me that, but I was too focused on someone...um, something else.? I
mean besides my flight I have my strength.? I can lift pretty heavy stuff
and I can take a punch, but that's about it...maybe I'm worth more than that,
but I don't know if I'll ever get a chance to find out."? He looked
away, back towards the city as he crossed his arms and sighed.? He needed
to do better than this, he needed to not give up like he was given up.? He
knew that, but right now, his mind was in turmoil.
?
?
?
?¡°Don¡¯t be shy.?
I like learning.? I wish to know
more about you and your friends?? I take
it this is where you come to think?¡±?
Being polite as he knew how to play very well, his brother Brandon was
master kiss ass extraordinaire.? He
learned a lot from pipsqueak.?
¡°So really tell me more about you.? How
are you liking it here so far?¡±? He
asked.? ¡°Any other abilities, besides the
obvious flight.? Can you carry anyone
with you?? Those are true magnificent
wings.¡±? He said looking Kites over part
of him wanted to reach out and touch them but that would be rude without
asking.
¡°Ahh so
you sucked at your first day out.? I
would say just apologize tell the boss man, admit what you did wrong and make
amends.? He likes when you take personal
accountability for your actions.? That is
his thing, not really into the touchy feelies.¡±?
Raine was saying from experience.
¡°Ahh interpersonals.? Hmm, yeah those can
present a problem.? You have to make sure
to keep work and private life separate mixing is a big no-no around here.¡±? He listened with a questioning
expression.? ¡°Don¡¯t know if you will ever
find out about the rest of your abilities, what do you mean?¡±? He stared at him feigning confusion.?
¡°Well does
this mean you are giving up?? You can¡¯t
give up, I mean you are here to train right, go to the powers that be tell them
that you want to train, that you want to be better and you are willing to do
anything to be all you can be.? But you
have say it and mean it!? If you ever
need someone to talk to just give me a call up here and I will come up and
visit with you or we can always meet somewhere and just chat.? Just don¡¯t tell anyone I don¡¯t wanna get you

"I trust the Master, mistress," Angus said simply.? "I do not think he would have asked this of you if he did not truly believe you have the ability."? Watching her run her fingers cover the book, he looked thoughtful. "I know almost nothing about the ways of magic, but the Master did try to explain some things about it to me. He said that it can be like a hot coal buried beneath the ash in a hearth seemingly cold.? But all it takes is for the right breath of wind to come along, clear away the ash, and fan it to life. He must believe that that spark exists within you, mistress.? And there is, of course, the evidence in the unfortunate mishap that transpired earlier."
"Is it wise, mistress?"? The servant scratched at his beard for a moment.? "I think the Master knows the risks. Has good reason to, actually.? But it seems to me that he trusts you, at least enough to risk it again."? He looked directly into Mikayla's eyes.? "I know not if it's wise, but I do know that it's necessary.? Otherwise the Master must stay a dragon, and the other---" he stopped suddenly, looking as if he had been about to say something but realized he shouldn't "...and he doesn't want that.

He did save my life the other night so maybe he and I share a bond that will allow him to forgive me...or at the very least understand that I am the rudeness is never the answer and gentle scolding of him was to help him understand that for someone who is all about propriety, being rude to the hostess guess is never a good thing.¡±

And to the old ways it represents.? He tends to be very protective of both."? His mouth quirked a little as he added "And of you as well, though it may not have seemed like it. Give him a chance to serve and ah believe he will not disappoint you."
His eyes grew wide when Scheherezade's fingers touched his cheek.? And he _felt_ it!? A surge of unexpected possibilities filled his heart at this apparent confirmation of his ability to touch her without passing through her.? He had never been able to do that with anyone else before.? Truly this young American woman was, somehow, the re-embodiment of his Arowyn.? It was the only explanation.
"Shall... shall we continue our walk?" the laird managed finally, offering his arm in a courtly manner.? "There is much still to be seen, and it would be mah honor to show you."

Re: Blood Bonds: Family Ties
(Anais) Anais did not expect any other voice to speak but Draven¡¯s so she was a bit taken aback at the sound of the female voice. However upon seeing the beautiful woman with the dark black hair, she knew this was Draven¡¯s mother. She found herself growing even more anxious under the woman¡¯s scrutiny. She stood quietly watching the two.
She smiled. And then a feeling a longing filled her soul. What would it be like to have grown up with a mother who would hold her and look upon her the way Draven¡¯s mother Serene looked at him right now.
When Draven introduced her, Anais curtsied. Draven¡¯s family was legendary, even to someone who was as sheltered as she was. She knew that he hailed from a long line of first born¡vampires believed to be blessed and turned by the Gods.??¡°I look forward to hearing the story,¡± Anais said with a smile ¡°Is it okay if I hug you?¡±
(Serena/Draven)
Serena gave Anais a smile and held her arms out, "Yes, my dear, it is."? Her embrace was warm and inviting, not at all what one would expect from someone so ancient.? After the embrace she turned to walk beside Anais and placed a gentle hand on the lady's back, "tell me Anais, is there anything you wish while you and Draven visit?"
Draven stepped behind the ladies and walked silently letting them chat with each other as they walked towards a gazebo in the rear of the garden.? The smell of jasmine filled the air and the night was peaceful as the moon rose on the horizon.

Re: Port Vega: LIght and Wings (Raine and Kites)
[Raine]
Raine did, what Raine did.? Keep them on
their toes and keep them guessing.? He would
be gone before they even knew what hit them.?
He could tell this one was both young and nervous, he had a few tells
that Raine would exploit.? He was shaking
his hand firmly.? ¡®Training.? Cute!¡¯
¡°Kites?? Like a falcon, right?¡±? He asked maybe getting a glimpse of his
powerset, but even as he did he instantly began to try to counter what he would
do to him if it came up.? ¡®Maybe not fast
enough to dodge lasers, bullets perhaps?¡¯?
The thought ran through his mind pretty quickly. ?
¡°I am Raine.¡±? He said he was there to see his sister, no
one said he couldn¡¯t come to visit he just didn¡¯t like to stay.? He bowed slightly as he was familiar with the
custom.? ¡°Mr. Chord has a way of
embellishing a bit at times and sure people will not like winged individuals in
public.? Could be the jealousy more than
anything, they aren¡¯t going to barbeque you though.? Make you into some fried chicken wings so you
should be ok.¡±? He teased.? ¡°What is up you don¡¯t look so good, like
someone stole your last piece of candy or goyza from your plate?¡±? He asked.
?
¡°Just the workers and
staff sometimes they come up here to get some air.? Like we all do.¡± Indicating that he was a
worker here without saying so.?? ¡°You
messed up pretty bad by doing what?¡±? He
asked curious and all but saddened for him he seemed.? ¡°My sister she is another worker here.? I don¡¯t know if you have met her there are
several staff here.¡±? He said ¡®specifically
good question.¡¯? ¡°What else can you do
besides fly of course?¡±
[Kites]
Kites noticed how the man who introduced himself as Raine shook his hand just as firmly.? However unlike his own gesture, his grip felt confident and self-assured, the complete and total opposite of how he was feeling in this moment.? When Raine guessed at his bird species, however, he couldn't help but chuckle a little, hiding his smile behind a fist, using it as an excuse to cough and clear his throat.
"It was a good guess, but no.? Completely different avian family," Kites responded, shaking his head.? "My species is a swallow kite...accipitriformes order, accipitridae family."? When he realized just how nerdy he sounded, he clammed up, feeling his cheeks flush with color.? This man must've thought he was a complete and total dweeb, but when he looked back up at him, Raine didn't seem to be sneering or looking back at him in disgust.? Instead, his expression was one of calmness and he seemed to have a genuine smile so perhaps he was being too judgemental here.? So when the man indicated that he was one of the workers here, Kites didn't question it.? He would be a a complete fool if he had revealed he didn't realize there was others here besides his fledgling team, having been so consumed with Gen and nothing but.
"Um, well...today...no, that was yesterday, we were just doing our first training test, but we didn't exactly perform to expectations.? In fact, it was a miserable failure," he answered to Raine's question on what was dampened his spirits.? It's not like Kites was hiding, or at least able to hide, his feelings.? His demeanor was clear for the whole world to see.? "I'm not yet sure what all I can do...maybe this was test was meant to show me that, but I was too focused on someone...um, something else.? I mean besides my flight I have my strength.? I can lift pretty heavy stuff and I can take a punch, but that's about it...maybe I'm worth more than that, but I don't know if I'll ever get a chance to find out."? He looked away, back towards the city as he crossed his arms and sighed.? He needed to do better than this, he needed to not give up like he was given up.? He knew that, but right now, his mind was in turmoil.

Re: High Moon Tales. Tales of the Wicked West.
(Etienne)
The more that went on around her, the less she wanted to be here. Things were
happening beyond her control and she never liked that. She had to make sure she
kept herself separate.? That was the only way she was going to stay safe.
Keep these people safe. So when the man Sicilien came towards her, she turned
around and backed away from him.? And then the sheriff dropped to the ground. She knew the man was dead before
the redhead announced it.?a very unladylike curse rolled off her lips.
She remembered Aimee then. Although she was dead, she was strong and cunning
and nothing they did stopped her, only the thing pulling the strings stop
Aimee. ¡°We can¡¯t stay here...we have to get out¡± ?she said ¡°now.¡±? Etienne quickly took the sheriff¡¯s weapons. ¡°Grab anything you can find as a
means of defense and then we gotta get out of this town.¡±
(Chase)
Chase pulled his shirt back on and stepped into his favorite boots once
more.? Apparently the Sicilien knew full
well that something was different about him without him showing all of his
cards.? He didn¡¯t want to reveal and he
definitely didn¡¯t want to scare Etienne away from him more than he had already
but seems he was good at that.? He didn¡¯t
want to be weak and beg or tell her that they needed her, but he knew at the
end of this the curse would be gone¡or he would be¡maybe both!? He turned to see the dead body of the sheriff
as well hit the floor like a log. ?
He was still surprised at her words
and she was again very right.? He moved
to get his own weapons he checked the sheriff¡¯s office for anything of value as
well as the weapons before he moved to go down the street.? He his own weapons they would need ammo and
lots of it anything silver would be coming with him.? They needed just a bit of time, but he knew
the destination and he was going to head there on his own if he had too, but it
was time for them to get there or every town would end up like this.? ¡°You heard the lady we need to clean up and
get gone, like pronto!¡±? He was not
happy, but was he ever?
(Callie Carson)
? Callie looked to Flynn, "I need to get my bag...and I ain't going to Cullenville." She headed out the door from the sheriff's office and found the streets barren as the sunlight began to light the sky. Bodies littered the street causing Callie to pause momentarily. Hopefully they would stay dead.
? ?She then started toward the hotel, guns drawn, determined to get her bag and all of its contents that she'd need to fight the evil in Miller's Crossing.
(Flynn)
Flynn followed quickly after Callie, hauling his rifle case and saddle bags over his shoulder, narrowly eyeing the bodies littering the street of the town.? "Now that's just excessive," he muttered, shaking his head at the waste.? "Whoever's behind this obviously doesn' care 'bout people any more'n most people care 'bout ants."?
The pookah then looked to Callie.? "I can appreciate you wantin' to forge ahead to Miller's Crossing," he said as they approached the hotel at a fast clip. "But unless you or one of them other folks've figured out how we can block or cancel whatever spell keeps makin' us go in circles every time we've tried to get there before, I don't think we're gonna fare any better than the last time we tried." ?
"I do wonder 'bout one thing, though," he said as he stepped around the body lying right in front of the doors to the saloon/hotel.? "Someone just killed all these folks like they were just blowin' out a bunch of candles.? But for some reason, they haven' done it to us, even though they were usin' these folks to try'n get to us.? Kinda strange, don'tcha think?"
[Sicilien]
"I've got everything I need, so whenever ya'll are ready," Sicillien answered both Chase and Etienne.? His coat concealed enough ammo to put down a small village, though a town was certainly stretching it.? "So guess we'll head off soon as they're back, but where to?? I don't know this area and Callie seems quite adamant on _not_ going to Cullenville.? Man, I wonder what ya'll did to piss off the devil."? He kept surveying the town, looking over to his right as Flynn and Callie set off to pick up their luggage from the inn.? Turning his gaze towards the sky, he tried to get a feel for whether or not the manikin was still watching them even now.? Does it ever tire and? what was its source of power?? Could it pull from it endlessly?? There were still remnants of the dark magic that was cast last night, but it was all over the place, as if to throw him off the scent.
"While we're waiting...Chase...you seem to be in the know as much, if not more, as the other two," Sicilien stated, turning to face the man with a beastly secret, motioning with his thumb towards Callie and Flynn's receding backs.? "I know what I'm here for, but I'm not privy as to why all of you want to get to Miller's Crossing and why that offense against nature is so hellbent on keeping you out of it.? It seems like we're stuck together for better or for worse, so I'd like to not tread through dark waters with both eyes blind."? Though not apt to trust someone that he's just met without measuring their grit, these people seemed to share a common goal and if the way they all banded together to get out of that amalgam, well, he knew they'd watch his six o'clock and that was good enough for him.? But what about Etienne?? How did she fit into all of this?
"Then there's this damsel in distress, which I highly doubt is an innocent bystander in all of this.? Just who the hell...are...you...no...no..." the bounty hunter turned to face the woman who was determined not just to get the hell out of dodge, but to get the hell away from all of them.? However, when he was finally able to get a clear look at her face, his heart dropped.? The realization of it all hit him like a speeding train, dragging him along the tracks and then discarding him like a ragdoll.? He stood frozen in place, in disbelief, as his one unpatched eye furiously scanned her entire body.? Her hair, her face, her eyes, her lips, her neck, shoulders, arms, and the rest of her body.? How could he not have this seen this...seen her before?? He felt his body going rigid, all muscles painfully clenching head to toe.? He felt like his throat was being constricted, opening his mouth but nothing coming out, or going in.? For what seemed like an eternity, Sicillien stood frozen in time, not moving, not breathing, until a spasm wracked his body and the involuntary flinch broke him out of his stupor.? Shaking his head to try and clear the pain, he looked back up and before he knew what he was doing, his feet took him forward towards Etienne who was now backing away from him.
"You...Etienne...no..." he breathed, his voice sounding quite raspy as if he spoke for the first time in his life.? He firmly grasped her by her shoulders, fingers squeezing and feeling as if he never touched her before.? Moving his hands up, he gently cupped her face as his thumbs brushed across her cheeks, moving her hair out of the way so he could get a clear picture of her visage.? This could not be...she could not be...how many years has it been?? He has lost count.? He was sure she was...so sure...that he even went mad, and then he cut that piece off himself and locked it in the deepest, darkest recesses of his heart and mind.? But yet here she was, whole and alive.? "Etienne...no...R-rosalie...you are alive....after all this time.? You are alive, Rosalie...? This cannot be...have I gone insane?"
He questioned his whole entire being, his whole entire life at this point.? Nothing seemed to be as real as this moment when he stood in front of her, but even now he could not be sure of what he was seeing and what he was feeling.? There was only one way to tell, so he pulled her in and kissed her.? He kissed like he's never kissed before.

Re: High Moon Tales. Tales of the Wicked West.
[Sicilien]
"Are you telling me that a mere
homunculus is capable of all this?!" Sicilien incredulously asked,
pointing with his thumb out the window.? Whether or not he believed that
didn't matter since it changed nothing.? They still had to leave lest they
become chow for whatever demons this manikin had summoned, so he wasted no time
in getting ready for flight, getting up off his chair and donning on the dusty
longcoat.? Making sure that his revolvers were safely nestled and clipped
into their holsters, Sicilien then grabbed hold of his sniper rifle and slung
it over his back.? Chase seemed to be doing the opposite, however,
stripping down to his pants, receiving a quizzical look from Sicilien but the
bounty hunter's face changed to one of who was just enlightened.? That's
right, he remembered getting a glimpse of the beast inside his makeshift partner's
eyes.? But before any of them could make a move though, the sheriff
suddenly dropped dead, ragdoll-ing to the floor.? What escaped the dead
man's lips wasn't lost on them as it suddenly became eerily quiet.?
"Well, isn't this
interesting," he said, walking up to the same window that Etienne was
standing at.? The same storm that they braved through to reach the jail
was now gone, leaving behind everything else.? All the dirt, sand, and
whatever else the winds picked up mixed together to create patches of muck and
grime that stuck to everything.? But that wasn't _exactly_
everything.? He had to confirm this for himself as he walked to the door,
reaching for the handle with one arm, placing the other on Chase and squeezing
his shoulder.? "Down, boy.? I think the worst is over.?
Save the show-and-tell for another time, okay?"? Opening the door
just slightly, he peeked with his eyes out the slit, making sure there wasn't
anyone just waiting for them to come out and when he deemed it safe, opened the
door wider as he stepped through it to the outside.
Immediately his nose was assaulted
by the various smells all mixing together - petrichor, wet sand, mud, animal
dung - everything.? This also brought out all the creepy crawlies, having
to kick a centipede away from trying to crawl on top of his boot.? But
that wasn't the most offensive thing.? The entire street, every nook and
cranny was filled with fallen bodies.? It was as if the whole town just
dropped dead.? He had to wonder just what the hell he got himself into
mixing with these people.? Nothing that he's experienced in his existence
was quite on the same level as this.? True, he's been in one too many hot
spots but none involved putting down the whole populace.
"Ya'll better get out here and
see this," he called back into the pokie, turning his head to look inside
the jail.? He had to squint a little as his eye adjusted from the sunny
outside to the darkened inside.? "You tell me if we still need to
spirit away into Cullenville."
(Etienne)
The more that went on around her, the less she wanted to be here. Things were

Re: Port Vega: Up On the Roof (Harrison, Mia, open)
(Mia) Mia took a seat and then listened to Harrison.? ¡°Has it only really been three days?? It sure feels like it had been longer.¡±? She then thought about how to proceed to the questions that the lady wanted answered.? But before she did, ¡°thank you.? Yes, I was taken aback some by everything that happened in the beginning and was unsure how to proceed with it all.? I mean I was under the first impression that I had been invited to some sort of party by Brandon, then his intentions were very clear, but I was not interested in what he was trying to offer.¡± ¡°Well, the team as a whole needs a lot of work to be able to work as a team.? Individually they all seem to have an understanding of their abilities and powers, but it seemed that most do not have an understanding of how to use them in the situations they were placed in.¡±? She paused for a moment, ¡°I myself am still training and learning exactly what I can do with my own abilities and I have been practicing my entire life.¡± ¡°Before I answer about yesterday, there is too much fraternization taking place between them.? During the obstacle course there was a lot of flirting going on between Kites and Gen, and Brandon and Kat.? It was like they were high schoolers out for gym class instead of being serious about what was going on.? I think this played into the way they handled the robots.? Sure, Brandon tried to tell us about them, but everyone seemed to want try their own way of handling them.? Personally, I was trying to size up the situation and figure it out when Kat yelled at me to throw mud at the thing.? I reacted and did just that, which was not the best action,¡± she paused and giggled a little bit, ¡°however, it did seem to confuse the robot for a moment.¡± ¡°Anyway, that was yesterday.? As for Gen, he thinks he can take care of everyone and doesn¡¯t have a clue.? He had recently escaped a laboratory where he was created and really has no idea how the world works.? So, I don¡¯t blame him for trying to take control and fly to attack the robots, however, he knew what his screeching would do to us.? Unless he is reigned in and first taught how the world works, he won¡¯t fit in on any team.¡± ¡°As to where to proceed from here, well,¡± she paused and sighed before continuing, ¡°I was a little surprised that Mr. Chord decided to simply end the program after our interview.? Seems like a lot of work to just give up on it.? I am willing to remain as there is not a reason for me to return home.? I have no desire to run the oil company in Allen Town.? I would like to use the facility to continue my training and would like for you to be my teacher, if you are willing, Ms. Harrison.? If Mr. Chord is really wanting to give up on creating a team of mutant superheroes.? This city is going to need something in place one day to help local law enforcement if real trouble ever does occur and I would be willing to be one of those to help them.¡±? She gave the lady a smile and then waited to see what she would say next. Harrison ? Harrison listened closely to all that Mia had to say about the team and what happened yesterday. As the young lady spoke, Harrison found herself pleased with Mia observations. Mia was proving herself incredibly reasonable, thoughtful, observant and insightful. ?She was also showing just how ambitions she was by expressing her desire to stay and be trained by Chord and herself. ? Mia was smart. She knew what she wanted and she was letting it be known that she was all in to get it. ? Harrison nodded. ¡°Thank you so much for your insight. You used the term interview. Do you feel like you are the only one who understood that that was what these past two days were? Why do you think you were able to be so objectionable? Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that while everyone else was pairing up there was no one for you to pair up with? ? Continually, what do you think about the rest of the team? Brandon¡¯s ability to lead? Ireland as potential leader. And please Mia I would like you to speak freely. Do not let my relationship with either Brandon or Ireland stop you from giving me your free unadulterated thoughts as you see them.¡± ? _._,_._,_ ?
