Kites didn't go straight back to the facility.? He spent a few hours circling in the sky, held aloft by the rolling pockets of hot air that rose off the many high rise buildings of Port Vega.? It wasn't just to enjoy being out, no.? His cartwheeling had a purpose.? As he lazily floated about, he kept scanning the city streets below, his eyes focusing on the many faces of the populace milling about, everyone rushing about like rats in a maze.? He tried to specifically focus on anyone who might have fit Gen's description of the person who attacked her, but that was like searching for needle in a haystack.? Way too many people fit into the definition and he couldn't possible keep track of them all, so he gave up.? This was just going to be a waste of time.
Once he got inside Chord's compound, he made a beeline to Chord's office.? The same lady that he been greeted by the day before was still there, though he wasn't sure what he expected...Would Chord have a rotating shift of different people?? When she looked up at him, Kites smiled, adjusting the collar of his shirt.
"Good morning...afternoon?," he said, suddenly forgetting what time of day it was.? Raising his arm, he looked at his wrist.? The normally blank face lit up once it sense Kites looking at it and an analog clock popped up, though based on Raine's instructions, he knew that it was still a digital display.? The hour, minute and second hands were more welcome though.? It was more familiar than the stiff, boxy look of the pixelated numbers.? Ah, it was the early afternoon now.? "Good afternoon...sorry about that.? Is Chord available?? I've got something important to speak to him about." ?
[NPC Chord, NPC Harrison, NPC Sherise]

¡°Have we identified who it is that did this?¡± Chord asked Harrison.
?
¡°Yes, We have determined that the person who did this calls himself Lightening Rod. Apparently, he is so desperate to get noticed he put the video up on the internet almost immediately.¡± Harrison said.
?
¡°And how is that going for him?¡± Chord said. Harrison looked up at him and smirked. ¡°Please tell me more about this Lightening Rod.¡± Chord asked.
?
¡°Since he posted the video using his own IP address, he is practically an open book to us. And I didn¡¯t even need Ireland or our hackers to help me. I did it all myself.¡±
?
Chord smirked. ¡°Well good for you . And thank heaven for those who are so desperate for attention. So please my darling read on.¡±
?
¡°With pleasure, ¡°Harrison said handing him a picture. ¡°His name is Roderick Hamlett, but he goes by Roddy. Hence the name Lightening Rod.¡±
?
¡°Do we know any more?¡± Chord asked.
?
¡°Oh we know a lot more. We have his phone number and his address.¡± Harrison said.
?
¡°What about his backstory?¡± Chord asked.
?
¡°Well he is working to be a super villain,¡± Harrison said ¡°So what do you think his backstory his?¡±
?
¡°Well a good superhero or supervillain can only have one quintessential backstory.¡± Chord said. Harrison waited. ¡°Well the classic Batman backstory love. Grew up with money, something happens to his parents, he becomes and orphan. Yada, Yada, Yada.¡± Chord said. ¡°he wants to be a supervillain, so he most likely does not have an Alfred.¡±
?
Harrison smiled. ¡°No, he doesn¡¯t.¡±
?
¡°Ah, so that means he grew up in a foster home. If he wants to be a supervillain then he most likely a jerk which meant he got beat up a lot. Then he discovered his powers¡most likely beating up a bully. And baddabomb, baddabing and we got Lightening Rod.¡±
?
Harrison clapped. ¡°I am always so impressed when you do that.¡± She said
?
¡°I learned it by watching you.¡± Chord said with a smirk and wink. She smiled back. ¡°Have they made contact yet,¡± Chord asked.
?
¡°I believe so. He got an Unknown Caller yesterday. Misty¡said she was with The Benders of Light.¡±
?
Chord rolled his eyes. ¡°The Benders.¡±
?
Harrison wagged her fingers at him and tsked. ¡°Aurora doesn¡¯t like that. You have to use their full name.¡± Harrison teased.
?
¡°Well when I meet Aurora, she and I can discuss it. Until them, I not calling them by that stupid name.¡± He said. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t be surprised if it was something Raine came up with.¡± Harrison smirked. ¡°You think that¡¯s why they targeted Gen,¡± Chord asked.
?
Harrison shook her head. ¡°I doubt they see him as anything more than someone with the ability to shoot lightning from his hands. And a hunger to belong. That kind of desperation, I am sure Aurora ?considers an asset. It means he can be controlled. Besides, Gen wasn¡¯t on anyone¡¯s radar, but the Russians. No one knew she was once one of our potential candidates, so there is no reason why they would think they could use him to get to us. Ever if there is a spy amongst us.
?
¡°Raine.¡± Chord said with a sigh.
?
Harrison nodded. ¡°He was here tonight. He made contact with Kites on the roof and Mia as she left with Ireland.¡±
?
Outside in the outer office, Chord¡¯s administrative assistant, Sherise looked at Kites and smiled. ¡°Hi. Let me check for you.¡± After a few moments, Sherise nodded at Kites. ¡°You can go in now.¡± At a conference table in the back of the room near the wall of windows over looking the city, Chord and Harrison watched the footage of Gen being shot down
?
As Kites came in, Chord and Harrison looked up at him. ¡°Kites. We were just getting ready to send for you. How is Gen? Harrison was explaining that although she arrived ready to offer aid, Gen wanted no part of it. Is that true?¡±
[Kites]
"Hello, sir.? Ms. Harrison," he said, placing his hands at his side and bowing from the waist as is typical of the Japanese fashion.? It wasn't lost on him that as he walked in, the video of Gen's plight was playing front and center.? He watched for a minute as the recorded video played through Gen's plight, the camera shaking at times as this Lightning Rod first targeted the androgyne who was desperately trying to get away, as the air around her seemed to almost shimmer and in a flash, the display went blank white as lightning flashed and then suddenly Gen was hurtling down through the air uncontrollably.? The asshole laughed out loud, proverbially patting himself on the back as the camera then cut out, fading to black.? Kites felt his hands ball up into fists, his nails digging into the palms of his hands as he gritted his teeth.? He was angry, very angry and wanting nothing more than to pay this guy back tenfold but did he have the confidence, the willpower and the strength to do it when he failed so badly at the first day's training?
"Gen is doing alright.? She's slowly regaining her strength and her regen powers almost healed all the scarring and burns.? But yes, she was very adamant on being brought inside the lighthouse, and I couldn't say no," he said, bowing once again but this time solely at Harrison.? "Please excuse my rudeness at the time.? I understand fully now that my decision could have cost Gen her life, something that would've haunted me for the rest of my life.? But even though taking Gen to the medical facilities would've been the correct choice, it didn't feel right to do so..."? Kites paused for a few beats, heavily sighing as if he was releasing a lot of steam.
"Gen told me about this...asshole...that calls himself Lightning Rod," he continued after the pause.? "She described his build as lean, about her height and with long, blond hair.? Very young looking, baby-faced but could actually be older than he looks.? It seems that he may be working with the Russian gangs, though he did not sound like one himself.? Correct me if I'm wrong though, but based on the video, it sounds like maybe he thought he took Gen down?? If so, if she lays low for a while, that may take some of the heat off of her...though of course, it doesn't help that she's got a lot of history with them.? What can we...what can I do sir?? Is this what you were talking about regarding protecting the city?"? He was definitely hopeful that the Russian gang thought Gen of as dead.? Now, to keep her from getting tangled with them is another matter entirely.

Re: Raconteur City: There's Murder Afoot (Posting order: Luke, Kitty and Prince Dario), Scarlett
(Scarlett MacAleister)
Sitting there across from Dario Scarlett
was reminded why she disliked so many of her own kind...they
were arrogant, condescending and often downright rude. She did
not miss Dario and his vampire purist mentality. She
remembered at the time of her exile, he had been in favor of
worse punishment for her murder of Dimitri Wolfsram. Torture,
imprisonment, even execution would have satisfied him more.
?
She regarded his question a moment and
decided to answer, "Through my private investigation company I
have been hired by the parents of a young man who was
butchered, for lack of a better word, in what appears to be an
organized crime hit. Through the course of my investigation,
it has become apparent there is a new syndicate attempting to
seize power in the Raconteur area. Humans, I thought at first,
and their petty squabbles. But it appears there are vampires
involved and a creature I have yet to identify that has killed
at least two young men who were employed by the Yakuza and the
Jamaicans. That is all I know at this moment..." she paused a
moment, then added, "your highness."
??
Luke considered Scarlett¡¯s words with alarm. A team of Vampires in Raconteur were behind the murder of Charlie and Billy? Sudden worries for his friends in town put a dark frown on his rugged, tanned face.?
¡°Your Highness,¡± Luke¡¯s tone was subdued. ¡°I have no information on this new development. Sorry to have wasted your time.¡±?
He took a step back then stopped. ¡°I should leave you to your business.¡±?
A quick call to the DEA and the FBI seemed prudent. His friends in the Were community needed to be informed immediately.?

Re: High Moon Tales. Tales of the Wicked West.
??
(New Callie Carson)
Callie kept focused on
her shadow as Flynn instructed. She'd never been magically transported
somewhere, so this was a first for even her. She hoped Etienne would fare just
as well, considering she was still in disbelief over many of things she'd seen
since the trouble in Bendo began.? She watched the shadow, letting the
horse carry them along. The beast seemed to be taking the trip in stride, so
whatever this magic was it must be perceived differently by the horses.
Time seemed to fly. She
noticed her shadow moving as the sun changed positions gradually behind her.
What should have taken hours seemed to pass in minutes...or were they hours?
Callie couldn't tell. She just waited for Flynn to let her know when it would
be over and hoped they'd be at Miller's Crossing when it was done...
(Flynn)
Flynn
was feeling the fatigue of maintaining the illusion spell that was keeping them
hidden.? He didn't want to stop, but neither did he want the spell to
collapse when they were getting close to Miller's Crossing.
"Have
to stop," the pookah murmured to Callie and the others, holding up a
hand.? "Camp here.? Rest." Sliding off of his horse, he
slowly uncinched the saddle and removed the bridle, his eyes closed as he
worked, keeping one foot in the dreaming.? He whispered some words in his
horse's ear, dropped the saddle and his gear on the ground and proceeded to lay
down next to them.
"Don't
go... outside the circle," he cautioned, sounding like a man talking in
his sleep.? "No matter what you see or hear. Not even to take a
piss... or a dump.? And don't let your horses out... neither. Nothin' out
there likes us... and somethin'... something's lookin' for us... lookin' real
hard.? And don' wake me up unless the prairie's on fire...? That'd
be... bad."
With
that, the pookah rolled onto his side and within seconds was in deeper sleep,
but still maintaining the greenish circle that surrounded them.? His horse
stayed close, idly munching on some grasses, but every now and then raising its
head and looking into the darkness and flicking an ear before resuming feeding.
?
(Charity)
?
Sated from consuming
the life force of the population of Bendo, the wendigo that called itself
Charity Pathmaker slept. Her 'husband' lay uneasily beside her, unable to sleep
himself. In Bendo, as a party of five travellers departed, the scavengers went
to work stripping the bones of the dead, preparing them to dance before their
new mistress.
?
Charity
slept on. Within several hours of it's demise, the first of the skeletons
arose. It's transformation was almost complete, but random gobbets of flesh and
tatters of fabric still clung to the bones. One by one the dead arose, and
gathered along the road to Millers Crossing.
?
By
midafternoon Charity awoke. She was unable to locate the five, the warrior,
maji, rogue, paladin and maiden were nowhere to be found. Charity summoned her
crows, sending them forth to locate the five, but none of the birds could
locate the party. Distressed, she drew out her drum and went to the town
square. As Charity drummed and danced she sang in an ancient tongue, calling
out to her new possessions in Bendo. "Come," she called out,
"come to me, my lovely bones. Come to me, and lay waste to any you
encounter along the way."
?
Back
in Bendo the stripped skeletons began to move, many dragging tatters of flesh
with them. They shuffled and shambled towards Millers Crossing following their
new mistress's summons. The insects, maggots, beetles, and such clung on,
working tirelessly. The other scavengers followed too, still pulling and
tearing at the mangled, meaty remains.
?
?
[Sicillien]
?
"I carry no
guilt.? That is the consequence that the town had to bare for hiding
traitors in their midst," Sicillien sourly answered.? The question
sound very pointed even though he knew Chase didn't mean it to be.?
"The worst part about it is that the orchestrator of that event is still
alive.? I know, it, I can feel it, and I won't rest until I can put a
bullet between his eyes and his family's."? They rode on for a while
in silence until Sicillien heavily sighed.? He knew that that was a very
generic response.? How many people wouldn't go mad when their family was
destroyed?? So he felt compelled to clear the air up.
?
"You could say it
was a whirlwind romance.? We separated and got together too many times to
count, unable to stay away from each other for too long.? Like two angry
tornadoes spinning about each other," he said, chuckling a bit at the
imagery.? "But we were going to start a family, Chase.? She with
child.? My child.? Now, I don't know if it's alive or dead, and if
it's dead, where it was buried.? What its name was.? I don't
know.? All I want to know is why, Chase.? Why did she disappear from
my life, and why is she pretending like we had doesn't exist?"
?
When they suddenly
stopped, Sicillien looked up to see Flynn sliding off his horse.? He
muttered something about needing to rest, which was fine.? As much as
bounty hunter enjoyed making fun of Flynn for being a medicine man, he
understood that maintaining a spell that hid them from the world required a lot
of power.? He gave Chase a look, like the conversation was over, and then
slid off the horse, leading to Flynn's and letting loose of its reins as it
joined the other beast in getting its fill of the grass.? He took his own
bags off, and shoving them a rock that jutted out nearby, then laid down and
placed his hands behind his head, resting it upon his palms.? Despite
being roped into this shitty twist of fate, Sicillien felt right at home.?
A bounty hunter didn't have any one place that they stayed at for too long, so
this was par due on course.
?
"You know, in
spite of all of this, the sky is still damn beautiful.? At least we get to
enjoy it a little bit while we wait." Sicillien said, reaching in for his
pack of cigarettes lit one up, placing his hands behind his head again, taking
a puff.? He hummed along a little song, not realizing that it was one that
Etienne would sing back when she was pregnant.? Then he suddenly stopped
for a second.? "I wouldn't let your guard down though.? Flynn
confirmed the feeling that I've had since we left Bendo.? Something is
coming, and I'm sure it's coming straight for us."? Then, like
nothing happened, he took on a happy demeanor again and continued humming the
song, pausing every now and then to take a drag of the cigarette.
?
?
Etienne.
?
Etienne was quiet as
the rode. Her body ramrod straight as she sat behind Callie. She knew he was
watching her and she dreaded stopping. She could only hope he would stay away
from her or that they would stop in Miller¡¯s Crossing then she could catch the
next train to San Antonio.
?
But it was as if the
universe was conspiring against her because Flynn announce her was tired and
promptly fell asleep. Great. She thought she would have to spend another night
with him. But then he laid down to sleep and she was thankful that they would
have no encounter tonight.?
?
And then he started to
hum a lullaby her mother taught her that she sang when...that was such a
bastard move...why would he...
?
But that was the fuel
she needed. His insensitivity gave her all the anger she needed to cocoon
herself against him.
?
?
(Chase)
Chase only listened and he had nothing to add right then.? He knew what it was like to have his family
taken from him.? Vampires were his enemy
his crux, which was why he easily accept the curse he could kill a couple of
vampires easily now.? He had trained and
he hated them.? Hunting them down was
second nature, for what they took from him he would gladly destroy them all but
it was so hard, they were like roaches!
He heard and listened to Sicilian, he then realized, they
probably were going to be and he settled with that.? Once children were involved it was hard to
change the direction of one¡¯s heart.
¡°Then you need to talk with her and get your questions
answered.? There is a spark there still,
you just have to fan it back into a flame¡if you still want too.? But I understand how those questions could
plague a man.? Keep in mind, sometimes it
is easier to pretend that the past didn¡¯t happen verses opening up the wounds and
the pain by recognizing that it did.? Be
aware that once you open that can again, you have to live with her answers and
her decisions.? Sometimes you can¡¯t
reclaim the past, you just have to enjoy the now.¡±? He said as they continued to ride.? He could feel the hurt in his tone, most
people thought men were stoic unfeeling and caring.? But every real man loved his children with a
hellfire love.? He was no different than
the Sicilian he missed his children too, but at least he got to know his for a
brief time.
Chase only listened to the lovely melody and let his own
beast to relax.? He too realized
something was coming.? He could smell it
on the air and it smelled foul¡it smelled dead!?
He honestly wasn¡¯t sure if it was just his imagination¡he was nervous to
think that death was on two legs and coming towards them¡literally.? He walked around as he checked on things, he
was determined to make sure they at least had a fighting chance with¡whatever.

Re: The Trouble Begins (Katya and Ashton)
(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.
(Ashton) ?She provided no
answers to fill in the gaps he was having right now and he didn¡¯t want to pry
but this wasn¡¯t boding well for his trust.?
But he couldn¡¯t very well give her everything either, but he had given
her far more than this.? He wondered for
the first in a while was he the problem.?
His whole shadow lurking thing had left him with a woman that seemed to
do the same thing.? So that didn¡¯t help in
a layer of trust, it did just the opposite.?
But what was he do to they were blood bound and he was stuck¡cause
he loved her and he didn¡¯t want anyone else.?
Which left him with only one option¡work it out.? Only now was NOT the time.? He had a murder to investigate.? She was still with him she kissed his cheek
and his hand was on the small of her back.?
¡°I love you and I trust you¡still!¡±?
He said moving away from her.?
He was sure there were some things going on here and his eyes shifted to the
room.? There was a lot of blood, a few
shell casings scattered he tried to let his minds eye see the layout of the
room.? He rifled through some papers on
the desk one was from Katya¡¯s warehouse and the other he knew of.? So this was a deeper rabbit hole indeed.? But no body! ¡®Of course.¡¯? He moved about the room and was just barely
able to turn out of the way before somebody ran out of the back room at
him.? Swinging like a madman.? He could do nothing but block as he tried to
read the man, he was tempted to pull out his sword but that would kill the man
and he needed answers.? He knew he was in
trouble when the punch to the diaphragm and the kick to the groin seemed to do
nothing.? The blank far away stare told
him, he was dealing with a zombie or golem as he could feel no mental energy
save for, kill and keep anyone out of this space.? He was able to see another body on the ground
behind the couch, as the creature had him pinned against the wall by his
shoulders.? It wasn¡¯t Arrow¡¯s body though!
The thing seemed to be flesh based, as it looked human but
that was all it was¡flesh, which made him wonder what powerful sick ass created
a flesh golem.? The thing was strong as
it was able to hold him for a bit.? Now

He slipped out of his coat pulling his sword with him.? He cut through both arms and moved to the
back of the creature to cut off its head and put a micro grenade inside and
pushed the body out of the window leading to the back alley way.? It popped raining parts along the back alley
below.? He checked the body that was on
the floor.? It was Mr. Martin the
landlord so that answered the questions, the gunshots.? He moved to pick up his coat and fold it over

Re: Raconteur City: There's Murder Afoot (Posting order: Luke, Kitty and Prince Dario), Scarlett
(Luke) Luke moved into the room but kept his distance from Scarlett. He wondered if they knew what he could do with those drink offerings but let it slide. This wasn¡¯t about him but the community and his friend who¡¯d been murdered.
¡°Thank you for the welcome,¡± Luke said. He offered a bow for lack of any other idea on how a Prince of Vampires would like to be greeted. He was tired of waiting and mad as hell but as far as he knew this Prince Dario was innocent of his wrath.
¡°The Were¡¯s got me this far,¡± Luke said as if in greeting. ¡°They are not happy about all this but I¡¯m encouraged you are willing to let me speak with you,¡± Luke held his arms wide and addressed the room with a swivel, ¡°in this splendid temple. The Witches Coven would be my next stop given I can¡¯t find what I¡¯m looking for here. Trust me when I say that is the last place on earth I want to be.¡±
He smiled sadly at the Prince. ¡°I¡¯m here about my friend Charlie Talman. His patrol car was manipulated into the side of a cypress last night. All I¡¯m looking for is who, what and why. If you can help me, great. I¡¯d owe you a serious debt. If you can¡¯t then no harm, no foul, at least as far as I¡¯m concerned.¡±?

(Prince Dario/Kitty) Kitty had moved to one of the chairs that was left around the table, turned it around to face the Prince and the others, then took a seat.? She wouldn¡¯t speak unless one of them addressed her.? She knew that this was Prince Dario¡¯s court.
The Prince glanced at Scarlett, ¡°as well as it is to see you again.? Tell me, Ms. Scarlett, why have you not come to reintroduce yourself prior to me summoning you?? That isn¡¯t very polite now is it.¡± The last part wasn¡¯t a question, but a statement of fact.? Then his eyes were drawn to the beach bum that walked in.
¡°Luke Reardon, I presume,¡± he listened as the man spoke and raised an eyebrow to some of his words, ¡°weres?? Are you referring to werewolves?? What happened to respect.? And not sure how they got you this far, what do you mean, exactly by that?¡±
Then he listened to what the man said, ¡°I see.? Well, now why would I summon you if I knew that information.? I summoned you to learn what You. know.?

? ?Kat had picked up on Brandons scent before she walked in. She could tell that he was unsure of himself. She wrinkled her nose as she walked in. "You know that I can smell your frustration right." She moved to stand next to Brandon. She looked to his packing and shook her head. "You are doing it all wrong you know." She "pawed" through the clothes he had already had packed. "Nothing folded properly, things just thrown in."? ? ?She paused for a moment then turned to look at him. She reached out to take his hand in hers as her tail moved to brush his calf. "So.....you are leaving? (pause) Were you going to say good bye?"?
(Brandon)
"Nope.? I didn't know your nose was that sensitive." He heard her.? "...her too?!?' He thought as she moved closer to him.
"What am I doing wrong?"? He asked having heard this all day long so far.? He didn't do or say much as he stood there.
The only thing that truly caught his attention and calmed him was that she took his hand.
"I was leaving earlier, I hadn't planned on leaving without saying goodbye.? Seems everyone...wants me to believe that I have failed them by failing myself.? It's not that I can't do anything right, more like I can't do things how they want them done or how they believe I should.? Sure I am the most experienced here, been in the game for a bit!? I was tired yesterday getting everyone through the obstaclas?trying to be encouraging, then being put in a no win scenario the most I could do was try to survive.? Not that being tired is an excuse, I had a few mental struggles of my own.? But for my family to reject me, simply reminded me how much my older sibling was right in the regard that I am weak!? Having the main someone be in my corner come down on me the hardest was that straw.? I guess."? He paused.
"No I wasn't leaving you...I would still like for there to be an us if you are willing.? I just have to make sure I am giving you the best me despite all of this.? I was supposed to be a leader, but I failed at that.? I don't deal with failure very well and seems like I am doing that all around is all.? I could be wrong but seems like that is the crux of my issues right now..? It is more to being a team than having a leader.? When the leader breaks down where is the team?? When the team doesn't listen to the leader...where is the team?"? He pulled her hand to his lips to kiss.
"I guess I have been a solo act for so long...I have NO idea of how to lead a group.? So I probably shouldn't have been leader in the first place.? Right now most are probably thinking I got the job of leader cause I was the commander's son.? More than being the best person for the job.? So no I am not leaving, I just hadn't had a chance to unpack before you came in.? So what is up with you?"? He stroked her cheek but looked at her attentively.

Re: A Pirates Life (Khadashee and Draven)
(Draven)Draven listened to Khadashee and then he looked up at Sa'id and could see that the man was still seething, "perhaps now is not the best time.? I should wait for him to come to me? He will probably come and speak with me when he is ready, or he won't?" He let out a sigh, "I am sorry to cause trouble between you two, that wasn't my intentions." He said as he brushed her cheek with his fingers.? Then he took a moment to smile at her, "you know you are something quite extraordinary.? Do you realize that you had asked me, begged me, to put a stop to the attack and you were the one who really did?"
?Khadashee
Khadashee followed his line of sight. And saw what he saw. A very angry Sa¡¯id. ?¡°I highlight doubt he will come talk to you. Considering that they only reason why he hasn¡¯t challenged you is because I asked him not too.?
When he smiled at her, she smiled back at him and then rubbed her cheek into his hand. Placing her own hand over his. ¡°I didn¡¯t really. It¡¯s just that most men don¡¯t know how to respond to a woman who is crying or when they start wrenching.¡±

Re: Raconteur City: The Divine Pleasure (Lira, open)
Lira swam along the coast until she found the inlet to a river, she made her way up the channel until she found the Lee family's residence.? She wanted to check on the little girl, Jenny, she thinks is her name.? She made her way up the beach and pulled herself out of the water, she waited for her tail to once again become legs.? Since she had just done this not too long ago, it wasn't as painful this time.
She stood up and went to the clothes line, finding the clothes that were always seemed to be there for her.? She put them on and went to the door, knocking.? The father opened, "Lira, oh, Jenny is going to be fine.? Mr. Reardon came and helped her.? Thank you.? If we need you again we know how to call you."
Lira cocked her head to one side, "see her?" She asked.? Bobby let Lira come into the house and Jenny was sitting at the table playing cards with her brother.? Lira was pleased that the girl was okay, but wasn't sure if she liked this Luke, water mage, helping her friends.? "Thank you." she said then went back out the door.

Re: Port Vega: Lightning Rod (Roddy, NPC Misty, Aurora)
"About time," Roddy grumbled as the white-haired young woman suddenly appeared.? He tensed slightly when she took his arm and began leading him back up the path she had just emerged from, but managed to relax after realizing that she'd just called him attractive.? "You really think so?" the blond youth replied, perking up a bit.
"So, this Benders of Light crowd," he went on as they walked, "you been with them long?? And you said something about you 'n me making a 'stormy team'?"? Roddy glanced at Misty curiously.? "Does that mean you have some kind of weather power? And does it have something to do with your name?? Misty?"? He couldn't help snickering a bit.? "Do you, like, make fog appear? I suppose that'd be useful for hiding what you're doing and getting away and stuff. But can you do anything that'll stop someone cold? Or is that where I come in?"
"And this Aurora we're going to see.? What's her thing?? Does she, like, make rainbows appear?" Roddy gestured flamboyantly with his free arm, like he was painting a rainbow across the sky.? It was hard to keep the condescension out of his voice.? "I mean, I heard rumors that you guys were a serious?thing.? But who've you got for heavy hitters?? Or is it just gonna be me?"
(Misty) Misty giggled a little bit, "my, you have a lot of questions.? Some I can answer, others I am not allowed to as they are for Aurora.? I have been with the team for about two years now.? Yes, I have weather power and do much more than make fog appear.? As for the my name, it is what I chose when I learned what I could do.? As for the you and me, well, that will have to be determined, but I could see us working well together with our abilities."
(Aurora) Aurora was on the phone with Jordie when the two came into view, "all has been deleted.? Good. Thanks, Jordie." She hung up.? "Well, you are Lightening Rod, I have to say that I am not sure if I like that you put such a large target on your back by posting all over the internet. but Misty here insisted that we meet.? I am Aurora," she paused for a moment, "may I see your phone, please?"

Re: Blood Bonds: Family Ties
(Draven)Draven stopped just short of the stairs as he stood and watched Anais walk out of the place.? He glanced back at the group, then decided to follow her to see if she wanted him to come with her.? Once outside, "Anais, where are you going?"? He followed her as he wondered what to say.? He was waiting for her to turn around and explode on him, yelling at him about her not knowing what had been revealed.?

Re: A Pirates Life (Khadashee and Draven)

If Draven wanted to bare that weight, then she was not going to simply say no. ?Khadashee sighed. ¡°Understand that Sa¡¯id served under my father and swore to him that he would always protect me. He lost me when Bakari sold me. And he never felt right about that. He was happy when he found me. And he feels like you are a wild card. If you go talk to him.

Re: Raconteur City: There's Murder Afoot (Posting order: Luke, Kitty and Prince Dario), Scarlett
(Scarlett MacAleister) Scarlett entered the room and saw
Dario. She had not seen him since her Exile more than 30 years ago. He hadn't
changed a bit in those years, of course neither had Scarlett. The redhead took
a glass of blood from the table with refreshments and stepped over to one of
the chairs, where she sat down and crossed one leg over the other. She focused
her gaze on Dario.? "Good to see you
again, your highness," she said, showing respect for his position. ?Scarlett then waited for the discussion to
begin.
(Luke) Luke moved into the room but kept
his distance from Scarlett. He wondered if they knew what he could do with
those drink offerings but let it slide. This wasn¡¯t about him but the community
and his friend who¡¯d been murdered.
¡°Thank you for the welcome,¡± Luke
said. He offered a bow for lack of any other idea on how a Prince of Vampires
would like to be greeted. He was tired of waiting and mad as hell but as far as
he knew this Prince Dario was innocent of his wrath.
¡°The Were¡¯s got me this far,¡±
Luke said as if in greeting. ¡°They are not happy about all this but I¡¯m
encouraged you are willing to let me speak with you,¡± Luke held his arms wide
and addressed the room with a swivel, ¡°in this splendid temple. The Witches
Coven would be my next stop given I can¡¯t find what I¡¯m looking for here. Trust
me when I say that is the last place on earth I want to be.¡±
He smiled sadly at the Prince.
¡°I¡¯m here about my friend Charlie Talman. His patrol car was manipulated into
the side of a cypress last night. All I¡¯m looking for is who, what and why. If
you can help me, great. I¡¯d owe you a serious debt. If you can¡¯t then no harm,
no foul, at least as far as I¡¯m concerned.¡±? Luke took a breath, glanced at
Kitty then back at the Prince. ¡°I appreciate you hearing me out.¡±
(Prince Dario/Kitty) Kitty had moved to one of the chairs that was left around the table, turned it
around to face the Prince and the others, then took a seat.? She wouldn¡¯t speak unless one of them addressed
her.? She knew that this was Prince Dario¡¯s
court.
The Prince glanced at Scarlett, ¡°as
well as it is to see you again.? Tell me,
Ms. Scarlett, why have you not come to reintroduce yourself prior to me summoning
you?? That isn¡¯t very polite now is it.¡±
The last part wasn¡¯t a question, but a statement of fact.? Then his eyes were drawn to the beach bum
that walked in.
¡°Luke Reardon, I presume,¡± he
listened as the man spoke and raised an eyebrow to some of his words, ¡°weres?? Are you referring to werewolves?? What happened to respect.? And not sure how they got you this far, what
do you mean, exactly by that?¡±
Then he listened to what the man
said, ¡°I see.? Well, now why would I
summon you if I knew that information.? I
summoned you to learn what You. know.?
And I ask that the next time you appear in my court, that you dress a
little more appropriately.? Now, I have
lost a few of my vampires to whatever this thing is as well.? So, Ms. Scarlett, Mr. Reardon, what do you two
know?¡±

Re: Troy Rising: Through the Sea of Trees, to the Well of Souls (RESEND) (attn Cal, tag open)
(New)
"Behold!? Dirt from the burial mound of Prophet Azor, from where the Prophet was martyred as he was buried alive!"
"Meditation incense!? Fresh incense for your purification and meditations!"
"Prayer ribbons, blessed by the High Lord Papal himself!? Only a sliver!"
On and on it went.? But in the middle of it all¡
"Baklavah!? Get your freshly made baklavah!? Sweets from al Shafah proper"
The phrase "sweets from al Shafah proper" was one of the phrases Cal was informed of.? It said that this person was a contact point.? It wasn't subtle ("Sweets from al Shafah proper"?? Seriously?), but in a place like this, it was easily drowned out by the racket of the racketeering all around it.? The offer of baklavah came from an open storefront, which seemed to be part of a proper tavern.? The cryer of the store was a young woman who seemed to be of mixed birth (her eyes practically screamed she was from his homeland) dressed in a tasteful combination of native village garb and the hijab of her homeland upon her head.
(New Cal)
"I would like some Baklavah...and if it is not sweets from Al Shafah what would you give me?"? He let his look of mirth as he met the young woman's eyes now looking across into them as he had gotten down from his mount and looked at her then.? He was surprise that the statement and call sign were so out there and obvious but given how they did so many things in code and the to be heard above the other criers it was to be expected it seems.? He moved towards her, producing a well marked coin as he was to pay for something that would indicate that he was whom he was.? He was very much enjoying the view and the loveliness of home which he now missed much more than even he thought before now.? He still was not happy at the selling of God but he was here on a mission and that wasn't it...this time.

Re: Port Vega: Finding Gen. (aka the Russians Strike Back)
(Gen)
Gen opened her eyes.? She wondered how long she'd been sleeping.? There was no clock anywhere to be seen.? Glancing at the angle of the sunlight coming in through the window, she judged it to be about mid-afternoon.? So she'd been asleep for about four hours.? Or twenty-eight, or fifty-two, depending on whether she'd slept through an entire day or two.
The androgyne sat up and examined herself.? Her surface burns were all gone, her nerves seemed steady and her muscles no longer screamed at her when she tried to move.? Standing up, she went through a series of stretching exercises and yoga forms, testing both her flexibility and her balance, without difficulty
"Better," she murmured when she was done? "Definitely better."??
She then tried shifting her body into different modes.? Male-mode.? Kites would like that, she thought with a grin.? ? Female-mode.? Wings.? Gecko hands.? Back to default-mode.? Everything checked out?
She was tempted to actually test her wings with a short fly-around, but stopped at the window.? Her nemesis was still out there.? She needed to come up with a way to counter him.? She grabbed a large bag of jerky strips, plopped back down on the bed, and began chewing as she thought her options over.
One particular option came to her but she frowned at the very thought of it.? It was even worse than looking to Chord and Harrison.? But the truth was, no one knew more about her than her creators back at Futura.? Particularly the two scientists who'd helped her escape.? If anyone could help her find a way to counter Lightning Rod, it'd be them.
But did she _really_ want to risk flying back to the place that would never let her go if she was caught?? She glowered as she continued to chew the thought - and the jerky - over.

Re: Raconteur City: The Summoning (Pyp, Kutsuki)
(Pyp)
"Reviler of Tongues, Desecrator of the Commonwealth, Ruiner of Prosperity," Pyp mused, taking another drag off of his cigarillo.? "There's actually a few who've laid claim to those titles, but if you mean one who claims all three, then you're probably looking for Beasophor, a Duke of the 4th Circle.? Not really surprising that you didn't get him, though."? The demon idly blew out a cloud of blue-grey smoke, then waved his fingers at it, causing it to take the shape of a voluptuous succubus, dancing sensually in the air before Kutsuki for a few seconds before dissipating into nothingness.? "I mean, he's a Lord of Greed.? You really have to put some serious chips on the table to get his interest."
"Now, am I powerful enough to force him out of Hell so you can destroy him?" The fresh-faced demon shrugged.? "Force him?? No way.? He's way above my particular rank.? Now, _lure_ him out?"? Pyp grinned devilishly.? "_That_ I can help you with."? He took another drag on his cigarillo, then blew the smoke out again, this time shaping it into a wispy image of a naked Kutsuki writhing on his stomach in pleasure, hiking his slender butt up in invitation. That image too dissipated in a few seconds.? "The 'destroying him' part'll be up to you though." Pyp shrugged casually, tapping his cigarillo so that the ashes fell though they vanished before they reached the floor.? "I'm not sure it's even possible, but you never know."
Pyp grinned smugly at his summoner's first restriction.? "So, I'm only allowed to touch you if it's a matter of protecting you and your personal space.? Nothing and no one else is to get within touching distance of you, ever.? Correct?" He snickered a bit as he added "I'll throw in the usual exceptions and allow you to touch _things_ you want to touch, like food, the floor, your own cock and such.? Though it would've been fun to watch you try to go to the toilet and discover you couldn't put your ass down on the seat."
"Second restriction, I can't say, write, or in any way communicate anything about you, whether true or false, to anyone in any way.? Does that sum it up?"? The demon stared at his summoner, his eyes glinting red with unspoken mischief.? "Or do you want to allow any exceptions?"
"Your third one's a bit of a problem.? Partly, it's not really a restriction on me. But mainly, it's not within my power.? I'm only a demon."? Pyp sighed mock-wistfully.? "I can take you to Hell, but unless you break your specific agreement with me, I don't have a say in what your fate is once you're there.? As for who gets to be made a demon and how much power they have?" The youthful demonling shrugged languidly.? "All that's up to the big guys.? Lucifer, Beelzebub, Azazel, and whoever else is ruling the shit-pile down there these days.? So, choose another." He glanced at his cigarillo which was almost completely consumed.? "But make it quick."
Pyp looked annoyed for a second when Kutsuki plucked the cigarillo from his fingers and stubbed it out on the plate. But then he just laughed and clapped his hands together. "So, that concludes our negotiation of the terms.? I _did_ say you needed to finish before my cigarillo was done, remember?? Well, it's definitely done," he said, nodding over at the extinguished remnant.? "And you've given me my first order!"? Sitting up straight in the chair, the hellion made a broad gesture over the room and suddenly every trace of the smoke was gone, along with the stub and ash on the plate.??
The demon hopped to his feet, causing the chair to vanish, and then he bowed to Kutsuki, his posture respectful though his expression was anything but.? "I am yours to command now," he said, red-eyes peering up at his summoner with a mirthful glint to them as he added a carefully measured "...Master."
[Kutsuki]
"Bee-ah-sophor?? What the hell kind of name is that? I suppose it's better than just 'Pyp,' Kutsuki retorted.? Though his own bite was not without an answer.? Before he unceremoniously ripped the cigarillo out of the imp's hands, Pyp managed to blow out various images made out of smoke, the first one being that of a voluptuous succubus, gyrating as she danced, her hands moving about her before she disappeared as the smoke dissolved.? He felt his hackles rise, nose scrunched at this highly gross display.? Had this been anyone else, they may have been mesmerized by the presentation, but Kutsuki was not one whose libido was moved by some scantily dressed female, much less than a female demon at that.? However, when the damned hellion dared to show Kutsuki his own writhing form, one which was so wanton and lewd, he felt his body flush with heat and color, quite evident on his pale form.? He bristled at the display, his hand flying up to his own throat as he tried to keep down the bile that threatened to build up in his throat.
"I don't know what you're playing at by showing me that, but if I am to be your master, then _you_ will obey _ME_," Kutsuki hissed, feeling that if he opened his mouth any wider, he really would vomit out his stomach contents.? Maybe he should've done that, teach that fucking demon to behave himself.? "I've told you how many times to cut that shit out?? Three?? That's your favored number, isn't it?? Don't let there be a fourth."? He needed mind AND eye bleach now.? The image was so shocking that he felt it was going to be stuck in his mind, especially because of Pyp having that stupid, impish grin on his face.? With the form that he took, one of a K-pop idol, the smile was downright disturbing.? "Pyp the Pain-In-The-Ass" indeed.? And what's worse is that he got stupidly got caught in his own words.? It was embarrassing for sure.? He took a step back, if to put more distance between himself and the hellion who suddenly took a bow, bringing himself uncomfortably close to his master.
"I meant to say no one, but I see you understood that without difficulty.? I don't want any living or undying being, whether they are demon, human or angel, to touch me.? It's disgusting," he said, trying to regain some of his lost dignity by using a commanding tone, glaring at the impetuous imp.? He hated how Pyp was able to easily break though his typically stoic composure.? "There is a certain...group of followers that...seem infatuated with me.? They mostly stay a good distance away, but this is one...unsightly individual just...will not stay the fuck away.? She seems to have an uncanny ability to appear wherever I am, which means she must be tracking me somehow.? Or listening in..."
"Speaking of which.? Your second order, _Pyp_.? Check this house out for any kind of wire tapping, hidden cameras, recording devices and what not.? The outside as well, as you never know if she also bugged the whole property, and any buildings within a block of this house.? Make sure no one sees you.? Become invisible, or erase your existence in that moment, whatever.? Then, once you're done, I want you to fetch me a frozen boba green tea.? I guess that will be your third order.? Once you come back, I'll let you in on what I'm trying to do and why.? Now get, and be quick about it.? I'm thirsty."
With that, he plopped down onto his bed, hands behind head as he drew his knees up and crossed his legs, letting one foot dangle as he swung it up and down.? He then became pensive, his eyes unfocusing as he tried to think of something else in an effort to wipe that revolting image out of his head.

Re: What Lies in the Heart. Mikayla/The Dragon
?(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.
