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

 

?

[Kites]

?

Kites felt as if there was a net of electricity around his throat, feeling his breath catch, as he watched Gen relieve him of the rest of his clothes, stopping suddenly which caused the winged youth to whine in protest.? He sat up a little more, feeling as if the butterflies were going to burst out of his stomach at this rate.? His heart which already ran fast beat against his ribcage like a chaotic gong.

?

"Are you seriously asking me after everything we did together?" he chuckled, reaching out with his hand to caress the androgyne's cheek.? "This is how I want you.? Like you are right now, because that's how you make my heart race every time I look at you.? Is it...is it selfish if I really, really like you in your male mode?"

?

(Gen)

?

Reaching up, Gen put his own hand on top of Kites', pressing it against his face, enjoying the warmth and the contact.? "No more selfish than me craving your touch in any mode," he murmured, his eyes staring deep into the winged youth's.? "Or me craving that touch everywhere, like I am right now."

?

With that, the androgyne reached down and began tugging Kites' undies down insistently, barely letting his lover lift his butt before pulling them all the way down and off, leaving both of them completely naked now.? He then began running his fingers, lightly, reverently, over the other youth's smoothly muscled chest, as if trying to understand what he was seeing and touching.??

?

"I still marvel at the reality of the sensations of this," Gen said half to himself.? "It's so much more than what the books said it would be.? I know all the words, all the terms, all the things I should say, but all I can think of right now is how much..."? He moved to straddle Kites once more, then leaned forward till his face was hovering above the other boy's, his aching length pressed hard along that of the winged youth's beneath him "...how very, very much... I just want you," he finished, closing his mouth over his lover's.

Re: Elusive Capture: Beaches. Andrew/Evone¡¯

 

?- Evone'-

Evone' sat on a pile of rope, looking out into the beautiful open sea. The clouds were large and billowy. The sky was bright and blue and the water was soft. It was a perfect day. They were traveling to France to see her father. She wanted to make sure he was okay after all her ass of supposed to be dead ex-husband said he was not well. She was grateful to Andrew for taking her there. She was worried that he would be found. Yes, she knew she shouldn't be worried considering he said she shouldn't be but she was. He was a pirate after all.?

Looking out into the water, she saw the ships pass by them. Some close some not. She hadn't been paying much attention to the ship traffic to determine if any were following them or not. So she did not have the same concern he did.?

_._,_._,_

(Andrew)

?

Andrew focused his spyglass on the distant ship on the horizon.? The one that was keeping its distance but also the one that had altered its course to match that of the Elusive.? He doubted that this was mere coincidence. Lowering the spyglass, he frowned in thought.? Much as he didn't want to, he would need to inform Evone' of their apparent shadow.

?

"Evone', my love," he said quietly, coming to where she was sitting on the forward deck on a pile of coiled rope, "there's something you need to see."? He handed the spyglass to her and pointed to a barely visible spot on the far horizon, a few points to the right of their course.? He waited until it seemed that she had the thing in sight.? "It appears to be shadowing us.? I wasn't sure at first, but whenever we make a course change, it matches it.? And it's been trying to keep out of sight.? We lose it now and then, but it always reappears if we keep looking for it."

?

"I'm going to try to lose them when the sun finally sets.? But I felt you should know."? He took the spyglass back and folded it up.? "I'll wager a guinea that it's your unlamented husband and his pirate partner."

Re: High Moon Tales. Tales of the Wicked West.

 

  • (Flynn)

    The Pookah relaxed when Sicilien released his grip and stepped back and Callie lowered her weapon as well. He spent a moment soothing his horse, then looked to Callie. "We're down below the cave you were just in, 'bout seventy, seventy-five feet or so. This is part of a whole complex of caverns that runs under the lands in this territory. And this particular cavern..." he gestured to the cool rock walls surrounding them that formed a large tunnel that extended ahead of them into darkness "...goes all the way to Miller's Crossin'. Or rather under the Crossin'. Them undead ain't likely to be botherin' us down here, so we should be safe. Till it's time to go up to the surface again, anyways."


    Flynn then held out one hand, palm up, and concentrated. A glowing ball of silver-white glamour seemed to grow out of his fingers and then float in the air, the glow lighting up and penetrating the darkness around them. He whispered a few words to it and it began moving down the tunnel ahead of them. "Just follow the wisp and it'll show the way," he said to everyone in the little band. "It'll stop when we're under the Crossin'. But don' go wanderin' off nowheres. Whatever sent them undead at us is still gonna be lookin' for us, so we gotta stay close together in case it finds us."


    The Pookah paused to exchange a grateful look with Callie. "Thanks for comin' to me rescue there, lover," he said softly, giving her hand a squeeze. "Ah probably could'a managed on me own, but you saved me from havin' to spend any glamour dealin' with that poor lovesick fool. And ah think ah'm gonna need ever bit I can hang on to for when we finally come face to face with whatever's been causin' all this trouble."

    (Chase)

    He knew Sicilien was love sick and he understood. Not that he could blame him, but it wasn¡¯t so long ago that he was smitten by Etienne a bit himself. But he was more than aware that there was no room for him, with another man pining after her. Wasn¡¯t like they were more than interest anyway and mostly on his part. But he could see the connection between them was similar to his own with his ex, once upon a time.

    But right now, the time for reflection was gone and now their merry band was down by one and for whatever was supposed to happen, required five! Which left him with the feeling that they were walkin¡¯ into hell on a snowball. It made him wonder in truth what was the point? Surely they could all count and try to have four people create five part magic, could they not all see the futility of it all at this point. They were walking to their doom, he could only shrug as they were all bound to die from something anyway. Trying to save the world was as good of a reason as any he supposed. ¡°I will meet you all there then.¡± He said moving down the now lit corridor, the somber image upon him remained, as he and his steed kept moving.


    [Sicilien]


    "Follow Chase, I guess," Sicilien breathed out, checking his coat to make sure everything was there.? He hopped back onto the horse, holding the reins with one hand as he looked after the beastman and then back to Callie and her partner in crime, Flynn.? He was torn between going forth after the man or clopping along with the pair.? The two had each other, yet Chase seemed to be the lone man walking, so he turned to couple and tilted his head.


    "Well, there's no time like tomorrow," the bounty hunter sighed and then made a clicking sound to get his horse moving, following the glowing ball of light.? This was already turning into a shit show with Etienne gone.? Who knew what hell awaited them once they reached that cursed place.

Re: Raconteur City: The Awakening (Posting Order: Scarlett, Kitty/Katya, Hollywood/Diego/NPC Isabel, Ariein, open) Add your name as you join the thread.

 

(Hollywood/Isabel)
Hollywood looked the red head over as she introduced herself. Once she was finished speaking, Hollywood looked to Isabel to fill in the blanks. Quickly, Isabel, pulled up the file on Scarlett and handing the tablet to Hollywood. While Hollywood looked it over, Isabel spoke to Scarlett and all those present. "Prince Hollywood does not like to be called your highness. She prefers, Prince, Sire or Liege, thank you."

Hollywood finished the file and handed the tablet back to Isabel, "I am not the queen of England. So, Ms. Scarlett, what news do you bring forward?" She asked not saying anything about her being previously exiled.

(Scarlett MacAleister)

Scarlett would have blushed if she were capable. She bowed her head, "Apologies, sire. I have been investigating a drug cartel which is attempting to take root here in Raconteur City. It has challenged many of the local criminal syndicates and I know it is run by vampires, not of our city."

Re: Raconteur City: The Turning (Pyp, Kutsuki, NPC Nicolas)

 

(Kutsuki)

?

Kutsuki felt his heartbeat elevate and goosebumps line his skin, pupils dilating as he looked at this man whose presence seemed as natural as the air around them.? Nicholas was entirely intoxicating, whether it was due to his charisma, his cologne or something entirely different.? Whatever it was, it took Kutsuki way too long to realize that their hands were not only touching, but twined together like a braid and the thought of it suddenly terrified him, causing him to stop and yank his hand back, rubbing it.

?

"No, you either call me Kutsuki or Eraisama.? Those are your two choices.? The others are null and void," Kutsuki spat out, glaring at Nicholas with all the fury of the sun.? Though the more he looked into the stranger's eyes, the more he felt his defenses melting away like candle wax and the desire to hold his hand again was rising like the fever in his body.? "IF we're going to play, then we play by MY rules.? Got it?? Now, take my hand again," he demanded.

?

"As for what I like?" the white haired summoner mused, coming closer to the stranger as he pressed one sharp fingernail to his chest, tracing the swirl of the tattoo that was peaking out until he reached the edge of the V of his shirt, and then pulled him even closer.? "How about what I don't?? I don't do crowds or other people.? If I let you take me to this club, then it's only going to be you and me.? A room all to ourselves.? Is that a deal?"

?

(Nicolas)

?

Nicolas blinked at Kutsuki and after the lad finished speaking he chuckled, "oh no...you think you are in charge. Now that is cute," he said as he didn't retake Kutsuki's hand as demanded. "As for a room to ourselves, let's just see how things go first. You coming or not, your choice?" He asked as he started walking again after winking to Kutsuki before turning to walk down the sidewalk. He figured the lad was going to be curious enough to follow.?

?

(Pyp)

?

Now this was interesting, the demon thought.? A test of wills between his summoner and the stranger.? He didn't think Kutsusuki would just cave and follow Nicholas, but neither did he think that the man would turn back either.? Was this the end of this would-be tryst, already?? How disappointing.? But at the same time, he would've also been disappointed if the white-haired youth submitted to the other's will so easily.? He also wondered what would've happened if Kutsuki _did_ end up hooking up with the stranger.? Nicholas didn't seem the type to take the submissive role, but neither could he see his summoner taking it willingly.? Perhaps there was something worth staying tuned in for after all.

While they were moving down the street, no less.? The fresh-faced demon wondered how his touchy master was going to react to all of this sudden familiarity and intimacy.? He couldn't imagine that it would be good.

And yet, what if this was what his Eraisama?was needing.? Maybe he needed being dragged over those personal boundaries.? It was possible, Pyp thought.?

And Mikayla was there at the edge of it, her head resting on his right forepaw.

It took him a moment to orient himself though.? Not so much as to the where as to the how and when.? He'd had the strangest dream.? He'd had them before, but this one was unusually vivid.? He remembered a girl.? A girl who was like Mikayla and yet not Mikayla.? Someone he'd known... before.? And she'd told him something.? "Remember" she'd said.

And suddenly he remembered something.? He remembered her name.? Jerusha.? And he remembered her calling him by his name.? Sebastian.? His eyes opened wide.? It was there, in his mind..? His name.? The name that had been lost to him for so long.?"Sebastian," he rumbled out loud, lifting his head up and turning it to face Mikayla, his reptilian eyes wide with realization, of what this recovered memory was and what it meant.? "My name... is Sebastian."

Mikayla was exhausted, but she didn't want to leave his side. If he had to lay in the foyer, she was going to lay with him...watch over him. Being that he had not opened his eyes in nearly two weeks, she was not only surprised when he did but also suddenly began to talk but even more so when he said his name.

"Where exactly are we?" she asked him. "Which way to Miller's Crossing?"

It was almost beginning to feel like an obsession for the redhead. She was tired of the delays. They had given the evil in Miller's Crossing plenty of time to prepare for their arrival. She reckoned it would not be easy to undo all that had been done there at this point.

He was torn between going forth after the man or clopping along with the pair.? The two had each other, yet Chase seemed to be the lone man walking, so he turned to couple and tilted his head.


"Well, there's no time like tomorrow," the bounty hunter sighed and then made a clicking sound to get his horse moving, following the glowing ball of light.? This was already turning into a shit show with Etienne gone.? Who knew what hell awaited them once they reached that cursed place.

(Draven)
At first Draven stood in shock, then he moved, quickly, "wait, wait...stop, Khadashee!" He ran after her and made his way to stop her. He grabbed at her hand and managed to get in front of her, "Honestly, I truly didn't know how to tell you about Bridget. And none of this was done with manipulation in mind...I would never try and manipulate you. Please, don't run away! I am sorry for not telling you about her sooner...I wanted to so many times, but then something happened or the subject was not the right one or I don't know...I just didn't know how. And no, this is not where I bring my impregnated women. Only you and Lily have ever carried my children. Please tell me you understand? If not, then I will let you go and I won't stop you from leaving the island. I will even escort you to a ship that I know will take you were you want to go without trying to enslave you again. Is that what you want? To leave me, truly?"

?Khadashee

Khadashee looked up at him, tears in her green eyes. ¡°I love you Draven. I love you with everything in my heart. With my whole soul. But this really really hurt. ?Because no, I don¡¯t understand. You can¡¯t say there was no manipulation because their was. You knew where you were bring me. You knew what I was going to find. And you didn¡¯t say a word. And I don¡¯t understand why. Why couldn¡¯t you just tell me? What did you think I was going to say? Did you think I wasn¡¯t going love you anymore. And even now your attitude¡­What am I suppose to think? You lied to me. How do we get pass this?¡±
