Re: The Trouble Begins (Katya and Ashton)
(Ashton) 'Honestly wondering what other secrets my lover has, does she really trust me with more than her body and heart.? Why Arrow would send him in to his lover's warehouse with bad intel, but then get killed?? It made no sense.'? He thought and tried not to be hurt by that little tidbit.? He had a few secrets of his own, but she always knew he was a hunter so his life was truly no secret.? He didn't have a lover stashed on the side and wasn't sleeping with anyone else for the freedom of daylight, he didn't have any friends with benefits.? He wasn't secretly some underworld crime boss that was running the city to keep things in line.? He was a supernatural bounty hunter....that was it. "My thoughts are I feel like I am being played and there is some bigger game afoot."? He said as he pulled up to Arrow's last location, he considered the man a friend and wasn't looking forward to seeing how he ended up for being his 'friend'.?? (Katya) Katya didn't say anything as she knew there was more he wanted to say, but was holding back.? She was glad of it and once the car stopped she got out.? "I am going to make a couple more phone calls while you go and check on Arrow.? If you need me, pull on our blood bond and I will be there." She gave him a kiss on the cheek then walked away for some privacy. (OOC info to use In Character) Inside Arrow's place there are some papers laying on a desk.? They look like they have been rifled through.? On top is a shipment order for something from Katya's warehouse address to an office downtown. The office is a well known cover for vampire business.

Re: A Pirates Life (Khadashee and Draven)
(Khadashee) “He is not happy that your simply left. He found it cowardly. He had to pay the pirate who raided us. He also had to pay the merchant captain extra to convince him that we did not set him up. Sa’id assured the captain that the people’s Queen of Ethiopia is not so unscrupulous. He was not happy that your actions potentially besmirch my character. I talk to him and explained that you were worried about me and you just wanted me away from the situation which is why you left them so quickly and why you came looking for him.” (Draven) Draven could understand Sa'id's side, but hoped that he understood his as well.? "Will he let me speak with him?" He hoped the man would hear him out as well.? He would let Sa'id have his say, but he had some things to say and he needed to compensate the man for paying the other's off.?

REPOST: Raconteur City: Los Muertos (Sofia Luna, Diego, Open)
Tag: Sofia Luna Northern Mexico It was just past midnight when Sofia was disturb from her quiet evening studies from ancient texts in her den at the estate in Mexico. She was reading from an ancient Mayan spell book recovered by archaeologists she'd hired a year earlier to search some ruins in the jungles of the Coba region. Her research of the book had slowly been yielding results, but it was nonetheless worthwhile, as she found she was unlocking many lost powers of the arcane. So when her maid informed her of a call from Javier, she was slightly annoyed at the interruption, but she knew her trouble-shooter would never call this late without good reason. She picked up the cellular phone she used for private calls, the one she'd taken extreme measures to ensure was encrypted to the max for nearly assured privacy from prying ears and eyes.?"Javier," Sofia said warmly. "I trust all is well?" "Si, mistress," he replied. "We met with our Japanese competitor and I think we conveyed the message you wished for him to receive." "Good," she said. Then she paused a moment. "What is bothering you? I can tell this is about more than a business update."? Javier almost seemed to sigh before he began, "The local police don't seem to care about the earlier messages we sent to the Japanese and Jamaican competitors, but there is a woman asking questions." Sofia was silent at first, then she continued, "A woman? Police?" "No, sources tell me she is a private investigator," Javier said. "She may have been at the meeting site this evening. We noticed her following us afterwards." Sofia allowed a long pause to linger for a moment, then she coaxed him, "And?" "We led her to the Raconteur house, made sure she knew where we were staying," he said. "If she's nosy enough, she might decide to pay a visit and we can deal with her then." "Why do I get the sense you're not telling me everything, Javier?" Sofia asked. "They way she moved, the scent I got when I stepped out of the truck and she was near," the grizzled soldier explained. "I think she's one of my people." Sofa frowned. "Payments were made to 'your people' in Raconteur. They assured us they would not interfere if we came there...in fact, they referred us to the Yakuza and Posse." Javier cringed on the other end of the phone. He was not so certain of complete privacy on these phones. He was not one to trust technology. But he accepted that Sofia felt differently. "Nevertheless, jefa, she followed us and she's asking questions around town," Javier said. "What would you like me to do?" "If she becomes a problem, deal with her," Sofia said, her tone darkening. "But first, find out what you can about her and who she is working for. Meanwhile, I'll speak with my contacts there and find out if they have someone watching us." "Yes, jefa," he said.? "Anything else?" she asked. "No, everything else is going according to plans," Javier said.? "Good work," she told him. "Goodnight, Javier." "Si, mistress," he replied before they ended the call. (Diego) Diego had heard Sofia's side of the conversation as he walked into the den.? He was currently in human form wearing a pair of black sweat pants and a tee shirt.? His feet were bare.? He was eating a ham sandwich, "trouble with the others?" He asked as he sat down in a nearby chair, ensuring to not drop any of the sandwich on the leather.? "We taking a trip soon?" He asked her with a smile. Tag: Sofia |

Re: "Tales from the Mother Lode": Devi (Hybrid Human/Wolf), Ace Inamura (Human), Villia Amalur (chameleon-type), Dale Voit (Human)
Jhwulfven
[Villia] Bam!? Bam!? Bam! rang out in rapid succession again, followed by am electric crackling noise and the overly familiar sound of a rotating, clicky wrench.? Suddenly, a very angry, heavily accented "Laak'naat!" was heard, followed by another BAM! and suddenly there was an explosion which rocketed off the walls, producing a rich, deep metallic timbre.? For a brief moment after, there was naught but silence, punctuated by the protective hum of barrier pylons whose only other indication of being online was the soft blue light which was strongest at each column but faded into nothing the farther it got until it once again become brighter at the next one.? Once Athena rapped on the door, there was another moment of silence and then the door swung open following by a shadowy being whose form took once it entered the light. What materialized was a short, feminine shape whose stature was so petite that she barely reached Athena's shoulders.? However, short as she was, the thick tail that proceeded past her back more than made up for that, its very tip wrapped around a wrench so big that it may as well be half her size.? The girl's upper half was completely pitch black, fading into quite a colorful lower that wasn't without several grease stains breaking up her outline.? On her face sat a huge pair of goggles that were also tinted with soot, hair in total disarray and just as stained as the rest of her.? From the top of her head, five leaf-like antennas stood firm at attention which were immediately smoothed back as the girl slipped the goggles off her face, revealing a pair of honey yellow eyes whose pupils were very much cat-like in shape. "Athenas!" she excitedly called out, though her smile immediately changed into a frown as she thrust forward a blocky device whose insides seemed to crackle with static electricity.? "Za initial...um...internal...no, inertial dampener blew again!? Zis is the second zis week.? Zere are a couple of more I can scrounge zou.? I zink zat if I replace some of the internal parts, zat zat should do it."? It was then that Villia realized there was someone else besides Athena here, and she turned her face, immediately hopping to as she faced them from the front. "Ooh, who are zese?? Are zey here to look at ze Valkyries baby?" she curiously asked, one finger to her lower lip as she examined them.? The two men seemed human enough, at least as human as Athena, but the third was a lady and of an anthropomorphic lupus species.? Villia's eyes lit up when she noticed the female's fluffy tail, trembling at the desire to suddenly touch it.? "Is zat...are you a wolf?? Ooooh, can I touch your tail?? Please please please, pretty please!" (Devi - New) ? ?Devi gave Ace a gin at his comment about being a gentleman. She had noticed though that Dale was keeping quiet. Once Athena had banged on the door she stepped back to wait.? ? ?The banging had stopped and it was a few minutes before the door opened. Out stepped a? short, feminine, petite shape that barely reached Athena's shoulders. As she stepped fully out the she was followed by thick tail that held wrench that was close to half her size. She completely pitch black from the waist up which fading into quite a colorful lower that wasn't without several grease stains breaking up her outline. She had on a huge pair of Google's, her hair was a complete mess. There were five antenna on the top of the girls head, which aid flat as she took off the googles revealing cat like yellow eyes. ? ?Devi had not seen a Reptilian since she was a child. She grinned as the Reppy seemed excited to see Athena. Her smile got bigger as Villia started in about what was wrong with the Valkyrie. This Reppy knew her business. When Villia finally realized someone else was there she asked if they were here to look at the Valkyrie. Though her attention switched to Devi herself when she realized what she was.? ? ? ? ?Athena stood just to the side of Villia and let the Reppy talk. Athena had learned to let Villia say her peace. So when Villia was done she shook heard head and chuckled. "Villia this is Devi. She is the one that I had told you about earlier today. Yes they are here to look at the Valkyrie."? ? ?Devi looked at Villia with a curious look. Did this Reppy really want to touch her tail? If it would help get the Valkyrie then she was willing to let Villia touch it. She gave Villia a nod.? ? ?Athena shook her head as Devi had agreed to let Villia touch her tale.

He delighted in each shiver and gasp his loving produced in his beloved until he finally came to the open valley between her thighs, the scent of her arousal filling his nostrils. "Allow me, my love," he murmured with a playful wink up before lowering his mouth to her sex, pushing her thighs up and apart to give him maximum access.?

His words were kind and she accepted them as such. “Thank you Angus.” She said. “If I need anything I will be sure to call.” She nodded her goodbyes to him and then began to read the book. Attempting to connect with a spell that would do what he asked her to do. Change one object to another. However this time she was a bit more distracted and despite the pull of the book she could not concentrate. With a sigh, she blinked. Her mind going to The Dragon and all that Angus had said. She was giving them hope. Goodness she hoped not. She didn’t want to be anyone’s hope. That was a lot of pressure to live up too.? She knew she was not going to be able to focus. At least not now. ?Closing the book, Mikayla left the study and began to explore the castle. ?(Angus, The Dragon) Evidently the keep had been set up to magically light the path of anyone moving through its halls, for each time Mikayla ventured into a stairwell or a hallway, magic torches set in iron sconces on the walls would suddenly come alight with mystical fire that illuminated the area.? The size of the place became daunting the more she explored, making her wonder if she was in danger of getting lost in the seeming labyrinth of the place. The feeling grew even more worrisome when she tried to retrace her steps and realized that the layout of what was now behind her did not match her memories of where she thought she had been. As if responding to her worries, a small ball of light detached itself from a nearby torch and came to float in front of her, hovering in the middle of the hallway like a will-o-the-wisp.? It then began to move down the hallway, pausing every now and then as if to make sure she was following it.? As she did so, the torches behind her began to extinguish themselves, prompting her to keep moving forward. Finally the wisp came to a stop at the end of a hall, not one that Mikayla could remember having been in before.? At first, it seemed to be a dead end, with only walls of stone before and around her.? But as the young woman watched, the wall in front of her began to shimmer and reshape itself, until finally a large door had manifested, a strong-looking structure of oaken beams bound in iron.? It lacked both handle and lock, but in the center of the door was a polished metal plaque with a single word inscribed on it:? Jerusha.? The wisp hovered near the plaque for a moment, then suddenly disappeared in a burst of sparkles that descended on her like a spring mist, each sparkle winking out as they touched her skin, until finally she was alone before the door with only the two torches in the side walls keeping the darkness at bay.
