Re: Port Vega: Will the kitty?

 

(Brandon)

Brandon was close to her and he knew he could fight against others, but fighting against Kat was futilie because he wanted this with her.? He knew what had come before sure he had been demoted, but Kat told him she would be with him.? He didn¡¯t want to be the leader, if it could be taken away from him so easily.? It was his whim he had to accept it.?

Kat told him they would just learn to work with one another, that alone provide him some amount of confidence that he had been lacking before.? He enjoyed that she kissed him back even though they were dirty.? She seemed to frown as if she wanted longer, while he wasn¡¯t sure was it because she wanted longer but he could make up for it¡­later.? His fingers stroked her cheek.

¡°Yes it would save on water.¡±? He moved to back her up and moved to pull off her shirt and moved them into the shower after turning it on.? The thought of being with her paramount over his demotion.? He was not going to hassle Ireland over it, she was better than him and she deserved it.? If they were looking for him to step up as usual he failed miserably with that one.? Seems he was back to being completely under Harrison¡¯s thumb seems like he didn¡¯t measure up to either Mom / Dad this time.? ¡®Oh well.¡¯? He would accept just being a soldier then not the leader since he just didn¡¯t make it.

¡°It would be my pleasure to help you with all of this as he moved to kiss her a bit deeper this time as he moved to pull off her top, before he knelt before her as he removed her socks and shoes.? He kissed her stomach as he moved to pull her pants open.

(Etienne)

As she sat at her table waiting for the waitress to come back. Etienne noticed a change in the air. Her head rose to find a few of the townsfolk staring at her. She didn¡¯t like that.

Looking back down at her menu she planned to ignore them. But then the hairs on the back of her neck began to pickle.?

Soon voice were raised and there was shouting and name calling and people targeting a table of people that was all the way across the room. And oh god was that...no it couldn¡¯t be...but it was...she had to get out of here.

As Etienne slowly rose, she did Have to stop when a large horse some how managed to walk through the overly already crowded with people table and chairs hotel Resturant.?

Magic user. Yes it was definitely for her to get the hell out of dodge. She continued to try to make her way out either the door that would take her back to the hotel and up to her room or the front door.

Gun fire. Fuck he just killed someone. Slowly while the sheriff was speaking she inched closer and closer towards the door. When some yelled murder and the crowd erupted. Etienne bolted. Running towards the hotel door. She didn¡¯t get very far because the room went red then. Everyone in the place gasped...even her.?

When the horse started trampling people she came to her sense and she ran. Some grabbed her from behind and held her tight to their stinky body with a fat meaty arm around her head.

¡±Where ya think ya going gurl.¡± The rough male voice said ¡°you and ya friends got some explainin¡¯ to do.¡±

¡°Let me go,¡± she said struggle against the man.?

She stomped hard on his foot and he reared back and punched her in the face. ¡°Ow ya Dumb bitch!¡±?

Etienne slumped, dizzy. The beginnings of a real nasty bruise forming on her left chin. He threw her over his left shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

When one of his friends saw him with Etienne he grinned.

¡±You done caught one.¡± He said.

¡°Shure did...bitch thought she was gonna to get away.¡±?


He dragged her back to the commotion stepping up with an evil glint in his eyes.?

He let the girl slide down his front. Holding her around the chest to keep her up. Yet Etienne still slumped forward, Still not quite conscious. Her hair covered her face. The man pulled a knife. He put the knife against her side.?

¡°We know she¡¯s witcha. So stand down or I¡¯ll gut her like a fish.

[Sicilien]

After Sicilien broke the stand-off with the first shot, the crowd surged forward as curious bystanders rushed in from the one of the side entrances toward the back, filling out the crowd as if this place wasn't already packed like a can of sardines.? He watched Callie out of the corner of his eyes as she confronted some big ole lug of a human being.? The man waved his shotgun around as the woman pointed her gun straight at his forehead.? This didn't seem to bother the front liners at all, gnashing their teeth and trying to look menacing, like wolves who were sizing up the prey before them.? Except that who they thought were prey were also armed and dangerous and not willing to back down without a fight.? The only problem was they were slowly being pushed into a corner and there were more of them than there were of Sicilien and gang.? Suddenly, a sheriff popped out of the whole mess, shooting off a round (and wasting a bullet, Sicilien noted), when some belligerent idiot ran in through the front and started yelling about some asshole being murdered.? He could not believe the reaction that followed the screaming.? As if somehow they were responsible for what happened outside these walls.? However, this was enough to distract the sheriff who was promptly downed by a flying bottle smacking against his head with a loud "Clink!"

"Man, if it ain't the biggest gathering of dumb fucks that I've ever seen," Sicilien growling, just about growing fed up with all this bullshit.? His trigger fingers started to get itchy, waiting for someone to make a move so that he'd have an excuse to retaliate and he didn't have to wait long either.? A couple of thugs stepped from behind the barrel of flesh and lunged at Sicilien, but like before, two shots rang out, adding two more bodies to the mix.? Was he going to have to keep doing that to build a wall between them and their aggressors?? He has no problem with that except he wasn't made of infinite bullets and he was sure neither were any of his party add-ons.? "Two more entrants sent to the gates of Hell.? Still feeling brave?? I could do this aaaall day."

"You ain't got that many bullets!" a voice rang out in the crowd and a wave of laughter rode through the crowd, though it affected him none.? Sicilien simply smirked.

"If you want to test that theory, then step right up!? Don't be shy!" he called right back, re-cocking his revolvers.? Flynn didn't seem to be doing so bad either.? Even in his horse form he managed to disarm this Jethro guy, then knocked him down.? Anyone who attempted to jump him were met with swift hoof, make that two hooves, to the face.? However, it seemed the shapeshifter had more up his sleeve.? The entire building suddenly became darker, as if someone dimmed all the lights, as Flynn started huffing out fire out of his nostrils, his eyes glowing like hot coals.? He looked as if he was one of Death's horses.? Seems this lot was quite the religious sort as the crowd suddenly receded around the beast, crossing themselves a thousand times over and muttering many a hail mary and various types of prayers.? That was just what they needed.? "Hey, Equus, think you could part the red sea for us?? I think we overstayed our welcome here."

Before he could continue, a man even larger than the downed Jethro, came into view.? He seemed to be carrying someone over his shoulder, someone who didn't seem to be moving at all or perhaps was unconscious.? Stopping in front of the party, the man took his involuntary captive off and then placed them straight ahead of him, wrapping one of his sausage shaped arms around the other person's chest.? Sicilien couldn't tell who it was, except that it was clear the shape was feminine, but with the dim lights, the unconscious woman was half covered in shadow and the way she slumped in his hold brought her hair forward, hiding her face.? A glint in the light told him all he needed to know - the man was armed with a knife, the very same that he was using to threaten this female.? What exactly could this man stand to gain by holding this over their heads?? Sicilien tried to gauge the others' reactions, looking to Chase, Callie and Flynn.? The man mentioned she belonged with them, but was that a ruse or truth?? How were his companions going to react to this?
(Chase)

? Chase was angry. At a lot of things, but the big large man was right. Etienne was special to him, he moved through the crows swiftly. His body had not undergone the change but he was truly at the place in his mind where he would tear this crowd apart to protect the poor woman who had done so much to getaway. With a gun in hand and blade in the other, he was at the man¡¯s right flank. The gun was aimed at the back of his head already cocked. Any sudden movie would blow a hole clean through his head.

?¡°You harm her and your next breath will be in hell. You might kill her or choke her down but not before I make your head into a canoe. You got that! Put her down or I swear the devil there won¡¯t have a chance to inflict the pain I am going to inflict upon you!¡± Chase didn¡¯t have a reason to protect the woman, she hated him or seemed too for the most part¡­but she was needed. For whatever was going on all of them were needed in all of this. He had no reason to think he would be free without her as such that made her even more valuable to him. The chance at freedom, to be free of this curse of life. ¡°So tell me¡­is her life worth yours?!? Cause if you harm her any more I swear I won¡¯t stop at killing you¡­I will hunt down everyone that ever shared your blood!¡± Chase was a monster¡­this was one of those times he was willing to let the monster out on this side.
He didn¡¯t look at the others, he didn¡¯t have the time. He wondered if they would think it was a good idea to travel with him after this.

He enjoyed the Sicilien¡¯s bravado and didn¡¯t think about him running out of bullets. No one thought about the bullets so much as making sure they didn¡¯t get hit by any of them. He himself didn¡¯t think of himself as being anywhere near worthy of heaven, but these superstitious townspeople had been scared enough that he was going to use that to his advantage.?? Much like Flynn was doing right now.

?

He pressed the blade further into the man¡¯s side, his senses kicking in as he could feel his blood pumping through his veins all but willing him to change into the beast that was itching to get out and feast upon the blood of each of them.

(Callie Carson)
? ?Callie maneuvered out from behind the table and kept her guns trained on what remained of the crowd. She could see the looks of fear, bewilderment and shock on their faces at seeing what all was happening during this standoff. Flynn was essentially freaking them all out with his abilities. Add to that the dead bodies beginning to add up and the group was extremely volatile, but was being pushed back by the events unfolding around the table.
? She watched as the group took several steps back, some outright running away when they witnessed the bizarre, often terrifying things happening with Flynn.? Then there was the man called Sicilian, his forceful approach was also acting as a buffer between the crowd and this newly assembled group. Chase also had made a hostile move at the man holding the woman over his shoulder, making it clear he would not allow harm to come to her.
? Callie surveyed the crowd again. Some were followers, others were clearly under the influence of some kind of otherworldly power. Callie saw no other way out for them. Chase and Sicilian were irritating the bunch with their actions and Flynn simply had them all frightened. Weapons were drawn and she could clearly see several men preparing to move on Chase and Sicilian.
? ?The redhead picked two targets, one moving at Chase the other at Sicilian, and she let loose with two bullets, each finding it's mark and dropping the two townsfolk. Two more in the group aimed weapons and fired, a bullet searing past Callie's head, another splintering wood from the table they'd just been seated around.
? A man charged at her, attempting to tackle her to the floor, but she managed to sidestep the attack and slammed her gun against the side of his head, knocking him into a couple of his friends. Cocking back the hammers of her guns, she took aim and prepared to take out more of the attacking bunch...
(Flynn)

The pookah heard the man called Sicilien ask if he could part the crowd so the lot of them could get out of this madhouse. But there was also the matter of the dazed woman one of the crazed ranch hands was holding with a knife pointed at her side.? Fortunately, they were both very close to the door.

Maintaining the illusions he'd created was a steady drain on his glamour, but Flynn still had enough to create at least one or two more.? Flynn flicked his tail up twice in Callie's direction, hoping that she'd get the message that he was about to do something. ?

The pookah then glared at the knife-wielder with his glowing red eyes, then stamped his forehoof hard on the wooden floor as he snorted fire at the hand holding the knife.? Suddenly the knife became a rattlesnake, its tail-rattles twitching ominously as it hissed and writhed in the man's hand, twisting about viciously as it tried to sink its fangs into the man's arm.

With the knife-wielder now distracted - and open to being shot by either Callie or one of the others - Flynn charged the remains of the crowd who happened to be blocking the exit, kicking and knocking down every man in his path, trusting that the others would collect the dazed sheriff and woman and get them outside once he'd cleared the way.

As Harrison and Chord walked through the compounds, she looked over and saw his face. She could tell he was not happy. ¡°So what are you thinking,¡± she said.

¡°She and I talked at length. I think we have come to understanding.¡± Chord said

¡°Then she and I will need to talk at length so we can reach the same understanding.¡±

Chord smiled. He was going to be leaving soon and leaving Harrison with the team, needed to make sure everything was in place before he did. ?

?

¡°Mia has a sound head on her shoulders. She seems like she makes good decisions and she's the only one of the five of them in that room who knew who to handle herself professionally. ¡° Chord said.

¡°Is that professionalism or is it because no one has any interest in her?¡± Harrison asked.

¡°Well, if Ireland agrees to sit in on at least one session I guess we will see how they both do, won't we.¡±

¡°I guess we will,¡± Harrison said. She paused. ¡°that's what got you were the most upset doesn't it.¡±

¡°It¡¯s like they don't take any of this seriously. And the fact that Gen had the audacity to speak to me as if she should be proud of the way she performed.

?

¡°Are you sure? Mia has a problem with authority you saw that when we first met her.¡± Harrison asked.

?

¡°She and I talked at length. I think we have come to understanding.¡± Chord said

?

¡°Then she and I will need to talk at length so we can reach the same understanding.¡±

?

Chord smiled. He was going to be leaving soon and leaving Harrison with the team, needed to make sure everything was in place before he did. ?

?

¡°Mia has a sound head on her shoulders. She seems like she makes good decisions and she's the only one of the five of them in that room who knew who to handle herself professionally. ¡° Chord said.

?

¡°Is that professionalism or is it because no one has any interest in her?¡± Harrison asked.

?

¡°Well if Ireland agrees to sit in on at least one session I guess we will see how they both do, won't we.¡±

?

¡°I guess we will,¡± Harrison said. She paused. ¡°that's what got you were the most upset doesn't it.¡±

?

¡°It¡¯s like they don't take any of this seriously. And the fact that Gen had the audacity to speak to me as if she should be proud of the way she performed. The fact that she didn¡¯t even realize her mistake or have any contrition at the fact that she almost put her whole team in danger¡­I mean no shame¡­just all pride¡­at the fact that Ireland watched¡­It makes me want to reconsider this whole team. I think that this might have been a very biggest mistake. And don¡¯t say I told you so.¡±

?

Harrison smiled. ¡°I would not dream of it. ¡° she said the smugness in her slight high brow English Accent.

?

¡°Oh but you would.¡± He said with a smirk.

?

¡°you are right, I would. ¡° Harrison said with a smile. ?¡°How about we put today behind us. You go on patrol, I know that helps to calm you down and we'll talk about everything in the morning.¡±

?

Chord leaned in and kissed her cheek. They had been friends for over twenty years. ?¡°Tell Kira i said hello.¡±

?

¡°I will,¡± Harrison said. ¡°goodnight.

?

Smooth Jazz played in her car as she drove home to the apartment she shared with her lover. She couldn¡¯t wait to get home so she could leave the day at the door and unwind. She drove the black sleek Mercedes-Benz through the city streets, pulling into the garage. Parking the vehicle, she shut off the engine. She took her shoes off at the door and came inside to the smell of something delicious cooking.

?

¡°Something smells absolutely divine,¡± Imogene said as she came in. She took the beautiful woman that was all hers into her arms and kissed her soundly. ¡°Hello Beautiful, how was? your day?¡±

(Khadashee)
Khadashee moved into his arms. Resting her head against his chest. She nodded. "I understand?" she frowned, looking up into his eyes. "You need me to understand? That I belong to you? Do you not think I do? Do you think you have to test me? Draven I'm confused...I do not understand." she said. His words were confusing her. He seemed to indifferent so nonchalant about everything. Yes, he said he was with her, but he didn't seem to have an opinion about anything. He didn't seem to have a thought about anything. He didn't seem to want to help her.?

At his words, she nodded. "very well. If that is what you want." she said. "I know you wanted to go speak to the Captain did you want to do that together?" she asked.

(Draven)
"No, I am not testing you and I do know that you know all of that.? I did not mean to confuse you and I know that you are worried.? I was trying to make light of a situation that we cannot control.? Forgive me."? Draven held her in his arms and sighed.? "I had already spoken with the captain, earlier.? About my plan.? But we are going with yours."? He knew that she wasn't going to rest until they made it to her kingdom and she faced her husband.? "What else could he want, if not for an heir?? Can you think of anything else?? What can I help with, if anything other than be on your arm?"

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

 

(Old Chase)

? Chase was angry. At a lot of things, but the big large man was right. Etienne was special to him, he moved through the crows swiftly. His body had not undergone the change but he was truly at the place in his mind where he would tear this crowd apart to protect the poor woman who had done so much to getaway. With a gun in hand and blade in the other, he was at the man¡¯s right flank. The gun was aimed at the back of his head already cocked. Any sudden movie would blow a hole clean through his head.

?¡°You harm her and your next breath will be in hell. You might kill her or choke her down but not before I make your head into a canoe. You got that! Put her down or I swear the devil there won¡¯t have a chance to inflict the pain I am going to inflict upon you!¡± Chase didn¡¯t have a reason to protect the woman, she hated him or seemed too for the most part¡­but she was needed. For whatever was going on all of them were needed in all of this. He had no reason to think he would be free without her as such that made her even more valuable to him. The chance at freedom, to be free of this curse of life. ¡°So tell me¡­is her life worth yours?!? Cause if you harm her any more I swear I won¡¯t stop at killing you¡­I will hunt down everyone that ever shared your blood!¡± Chase was a monster¡­this was one of those times he was willing to let the monster out on this side.
He didn¡¯t look at the others, he didn¡¯t have the time. He wondered if they would think it was a good idea to travel with him after this.

He enjoyed the Sicilien¡¯s bravado and didn¡¯t think about him running out of bullets. No one thought about the bullets so much as making sure they didn¡¯t get hit by any of them. He himself didn¡¯t think of himself as being anywhere near worthy of heaven, but these superstitious townspeople had been scared enough that he was going to use that to his advantage.?? Much like Flynn was doing right now.

?

He pressed the blade further into the man¡¯s side, his senses kicking in as he could feel his blood pumping through his veins all but willing him to change into the beast that was itching to get out and feast upon the blood of each of them.

(New Callie Carson)
? ?Callie maneuvered out from behind the table and kept her guns trained on what remained of the crowd. She could see the looks of fear, bewilderment and shock on their faces at seeing what all was happening during this standoff. Flynn was essentially freaking them all out with his abilities. Add to that the dead bodies beginning to add up and the group was extremely volatile, but was being pushed back by the events unfolding around the table.
? She watched as the group took several groups back, some outright running away when they witnessed the bizarre, often terrifying things happening with Flynn.? Then there was the man called Sicilian, his forceful approach was also acting as a buffer between the crowd and this newly assembled group. Chase also had made a hostile move at the man holding the woman over his shoulder, making it clear he would not allow harm to come to her.
? Callie surveyed the crowd again. Some were followers, others were clearly under the influence of some kind of otherworldly power. Callie saw no other way out for them. Chase and Sicilian were irritating the bunch with their actions and Flynn simply had them all frightened. Weapons were drawn and she could clearly see several men preparing to move on Chase and Sicilian.
? ?The redhead picked two targets, one moving at Chase the other at Sicilian, and she let loose with two bullets, each finding it's mark and dropping the two townsfolk. Two more in the group aimed weapons and fired, a bullet searing past Callie's head, another splintering wood from the table they'd just been seated around.
? A man charged at her, attempting to tackle her to the floor, but she managed to sidestep the attack and slammed her gun against the side of his head, knocking him into a couple of his friends. Cocking back the hammers of her guns, she took aim and prepared to take out more of the attacking bunch...

Blood Bonds: Family Ties

 

(Draven)
"Blue it is then," Draven said as he took out several blue shirts, both pullover, and button-up.? "Crimson red and gold are our colors.? As for formality, most of the evening meals will be formal gathers.? And any special events that my family may be planning."? He pulled out the garment bags that held his family suits and hung them on the rack by the door so that they would not be forgotten.
?
He finished packing the essentials and went over a list in his head.? Once he knew nothing was forgotten turned to Anais.? "I will go and bring the car to the front for our shopping trip.? I will return shortly for you, my love."? He gave her a quick kiss and left the room.

(Anais)

She smiled at him then. "Don't forget I like you in black too." She said as he packed. She moved into the closet to pull some of the items she brought with her down so that she could back as well. When he said he would go to retrieved the car, she smiled and returned his kiss. Anais continued to pack. She had some of her favorite dresses and some of her favorite riding gear. She wondered if she would be able to bring Hell with her. She enjoyed her morning rides and wondered if she would have to stop that. She guessed she would ask him when he returned.?

He said she would need formal wear. And he kept saying, family. Almost like he had more than just his brother they were going to see. She didn't get her impression that his father or mother was still alive...but were they??Suddenly Anais becomes worried. She wanted to make a good impression on his family. What if they didn't like her...find her worth of him...didn't like that she was half-human.?Yes he told her to not worry about those things, but she was well aware of the class system and how even now his kind thought her kind were an abomination and beneath him.?

Anais finished packing what she could and came downstairs to wait for him.?

Draven reached out a hand and drew Khadashee near, he held her hands in his.? "I do know that, but I needed you to know that.? Look, I know that you are worried and so am I about what he wants.? But we cannot do anything about it until we are there, so perhaps we let tomorrow worry about itself."?

Re: Port Vega: Clean-up in Room 12 (Kites, Gen)

 

(Gen)

The feel of their naked bodies rubbing wetly against each other in the shower was intoxicating and Gen greedily soaked up every bit of skin contact he could manage, his hands feverishly exploring the winged youth's body even as he craved the feeling of Kites' hands on him.? The heat between them only ramped up higher when Kites deliberately teased him, kissing and licking everywhere on his face and neck except the mouth, and the androgyne's gasps turned to moans as their urgent erections pressed and rubbed together between their writhing bodies as the water continued to flow down over the two of them.

Even when they emerged from the shower and began toweling each other off, Gen couldn't keep his hands to himself, using every opportunity to touch or bump or teasingly rub up against the taller youth. And when Kites led him by the hand to the bed and then stretched out on it and invited the androgyne to join him, Gen only smirked and climbed on where the winged boy had made space for him. ?

"You don't have to tell me twice," Gen said softly, quickly snuggled up to Kites where they lay side by side. He began running his left hand up and down the other boy's side, luxuriating in the feel of Kites' warm skin and muscular torso, their faces barely inches apart and their cocks rubbing together between them.? He felt flushed all over, his own skin tingling with anticipation, his heart pounding and his groin pulsing heatedly in time with his heart. ?

"I... I've read a lot about sexual stuff," Gen said huskily, continuing to stroke and explore Kites even as he gazed deep into the other boy's wide open eyes.? "And I kind of know what to do. Sort of, anyway. But like I said, I want to wait for the big stuff, okay?? Later, when we're not all banged up and tired?"

"But there is stuff we can do.? I've read that a lot of boys, when they're doing this for the first time, just rub against each other, kissing and touching and rubbing their erections together until they both, you know, ejaculate."? Gen paused to rest his forehead against the winged youth's as he glanced down between them where their hormone-charged bodies were indeed doing just that. Looking up again, he once again locked eyes with the other boy, looking hesitant and yet eager.? "Do... do you want to try that, maybe? For now, anyways?"

[Kites]

As soon as Gen slid into bed with Kites, the winged youth reached out and pulled the androgyne close to him, relishing the level of intimacy between them.? As they laid beside each other, Kites shifted until Gen was half below him, pushing his right leg between the androgyne's thighs as he had Gen's left leg hook over his his own, twisting their lower bodies around each other.? It allowed their hips to join as their cocks pressed against one another, feeling the heat and friction as he flexed his hips forward a few times, heavily pushing against the other's body.? As their faces met each other, it took all that he had not to mash their mouths together, wanting to once again gorge himself on his lover, but he had to hold himself back a bit.? After all, they only just started and there was so much more to it than just making out.

He ran his hands all over Gen much like the androgyne was doing to him.? His eyes followed everywhere his fingers touched, starting at Gen's neck and down to trace the jutting collarbone, bending his head down as his lips took over, gently kissing and sucking on several spots.? His arm moved down as he felt the other's chest, running his palm over the nipples as he felt the nubs respond to his touch.? Lingering there just a bit, he continued as he felt his stomach, feeling it recede at his touch and then back as Gen breathed.? Once he reached his hips, his hands went around to grip the other youth's butt, pressing their hips together again, gasping as he did so.? Being above gave him a little more leverage and force, pushing his leg up between the other's thighs at the same time in a movement that's meant to mimic the real deal.? His heart was beating just as fast as they stared into each other's eyes, drinking in each other's presence.

"Then, I may just have to rely on some of that knowledge," he answered, lifting Gen's hands to his lips as he kissed down from the fingertips and along the length of his arm, grazing his shoulder and then moving to nip at his neck, licking the places where his teeth scraped against the skin.? "My... education was a little less...conventional.? Being raised in a convent, the only things you were taught was abstinence and the virtue of keeping yourself chaste until your marriage night, but if there's one thing they didn't count on was what a bunch of horny kids with raging libidos were capable of.? Porno mags hidden in all sorts of sneaky places, and a single television that we all gathered around to watch the midnight specials.? Though none of it was... male on male, I'd expect I can at least mimic some things I've seen?"? Thinking back to those times, he was less a willing participant and more like an volunteered captive, but boy if it didn't burn some things into his then-fragile mind.? Though unlike the other kids who wanted to mime exactly what they saw, he was too busy being a rambunctious brat and keeping the nuns busy by climbing all over trees and trying to fly, ending up with many a cut, a bruise and a break that always baffled the staff as to how he managed to heal from all of it.

"So tell me exactly what you want to do, and how far you want to go, okay?? My heart beats for you.? It wants what you want.? " he said, switching to the other side of Gen's neck, miming his previous actions.? "So let's do what we can and are willing to, hmm?? I'll let you set the limits.? Does that work?"? With that, he captured the androgyne's lips, roughly grinding into him as he pulled back, resting his forehead against Gen's as they tried to catch their breaths together.? He then returned to idly rub the small of Gen's back, waiting for his lover's answer as he continued to gently flex his hips against him, every now and then pushing up with his legs as an added bonus.

Re: Port Vega: Clean-up in Room 12 (Kites, Gen)

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

[Kites]

"Well, I can't help it if you wiggle your cute ass at me like.? That's just asking for it," he grinned, reaching out and pinching her butt in response.? "You enjoyed it just as much as I did, admit it."? There was an urgency to them finishing the shower.? Things were heating up a bit and it wasn't just the steam.? As Gen worked on cleaning out his wings, taking great care in running her hands under his feathers, Kites reached for the shampoo and started hurriedly lathering up his hair.? He worked the suds really well, making sure that it covered the entire length, bundling it up and then rinsing it, allowing his hair to come back down.? He's done that a couple of times, then finished up with a conditioner, because God knows that it was going to take a lot to detangle that mess so there was no reason to skip that step and make it harder.

"No, you're doing it just fine.? It feels good," he said to her asking about his wings.? Her touch was thorough but it was also gentle, taking care not too move his feathers too out of place as she worked to get the dirt out from under them.? Inside and out, his wings felt a lot cleaner and also lighter due to all the crud and grime washed out with the water.? By the time he finished washing his upper half, also managing to comb his hair out, Gen was also done with his back and so had him turned around so that they faced each other again.? He felt a soft sigh escape his lips as Gen pressed herself against him, gripping his face and pulling it down so that she could mash their lips together again.? He readily opened his mouth, closing his eyes, as he pushed his tongue in, trying to entwine with the androgyne's, battling for control, wanting to gorge himself on his lover as much as he could.? When she wrapped her leg around his thigh, mimicking the very action Kites prompted back at the elevator a day ago, he hissed as it pushed them even closer together.? The hot water just added to the mix as it poured around them.? And just like the first time she did it, shocking Kites at the change mid-kiss back when they were feeling each other out, he felt her beginning to change.

Where her chest was previously in its non-descript form now took on the pectoral muscles of a male.? His collar bone became more pronounced and shoulders more defined, shoulder blades sharper, his strength more evident as he pushed back against Kites' front.? He didn't miss the growing mass between Gen's thighs either as the androgyne's shaft pressed against his own, quickly hardening as the urgency between them increased.? Just for a moment, Kites broke away from their kissing to bring his hand up to Gen's face, gently caressing it as he looked into the other's eyes.? His thumb rubbed over his cheek, going down to trace his lips which now slightly changed shape, more reminiscent of his male sex, but still just as plump and full, just begging to be sucked on.? Changing their position a bit, Kites moved to press Gen against the wall of the shower, using his other hand to bring the other leg up and wrapped it around his waist, completely lifting him off the ground.? He trapped both their manhoods between them, now moving that hand to grip Gen's butt cheek, roughly thrusting against him.? His breath was quite ragged as he returned to the other's face, but purposefully avoiding Gen's mouth as he nibbled along his jaw, dipping his head a but further to get at his neck, gently sucking in certain spots as he continued his movement against him.? Oh, how good was this going to feel when they finally joined together, a thought that was driving him and his body mad as he made his desires clear.? The friction between them felt wonderful as their phalluses fenced against each other.

"Indeed," he breathed out when Gen finally separated from the winged boy, unhooking his legs from his waist and carefully stepping back, shutting off the shower.? Needing a moment to compose himself, Kites took a few deep breaths, trying to will himself to calm down a little.? As he was handed a towel, he finally stepped out himself, wiping off his face and as he and his wings were tended to, so he did the same for the other, making sure that they were completely toweled dry before proceeding back out of hot and steamy bathroom.? When he was propositioned for some play, well, how could one resist when such a cute mockingbird was begging to be played with.? "Couldn't refuse you even if I tried...let's not waste any more time.? C'mon."? He locked their hands together as he pulled them both towards the bed as they nearly ran to it.? Once they reached the bedside, Kites released his hand as he peeled the comforter back, pushing it to the other side of the king sized bed, plenty of room of his wings to stretch or to invite that plus one.? Turning around, he fell onto the bed, rolling onto his left wing as he let the right one drape across his side.? He turned to face his paramour, his golden yellow orbs focusing on Gen's as his pupils widened in response to his desire, eyes full of unbridled desire.? He patted the empty spot beside himself and then raised his arm to the androgyne, beckoning for him to join him.

"Don't keep me waiting too long..."

She paced her mind running through all the reasons Bakari could want her back. She was so lost in thought that Draven¡¯s question was answered quickly and abruptly. Not with the normal care and consideration she would give his questions.

Re: The Door Between Two Worlds [Roue and Rabbit] (closed)

 

(Rabbit)

Rabbit watched in mild puzzlement as Roue first sampled, then eagerly began downing, the sake the waiter had brought to the table with the soup and the food.? "Wow," the little vampire murmured.? "I guess you really l-like that stuff.? I've never actually tasted it myself, but, uhm, I know a lot of people l-like it.? Specially here in, you know, J-japan."

The effects of Roue's rapid consumption of the sake quickly became evident, particularly when the elf began kissing Rabbit's hand and eyeing him dreamily.

"Are... are you f-flirtin' with me, Mister Roue?" the little vampire asked, fidgeting awkwardly under the intensity of the elf's gaze.? Part of him was elated of course, given his feelings of attraction to the stranger. But the rest of him was feeling uneasy and frustrated.? He knew how he would've responded if the stranger had not been a guest at the Dionysus.? The language barrier wouldn't have mattered and he would've just drawn the man aside for an unrestrained bout of snogging followed by some frenzied coupling and very likely a feeding as well.

But the elf _was_ a guest of the club, however tenuous, and so the club rules applied.? There had to be some level of understanding before Rabbit could indulge a guest.? A bit of hand kissing didn't reach that level.

"I really wish you could, uhm, you know, u-understand me," Rabbit sighed.? "I think you're super good-lookin' and really n-nice, but I cain' do nothin' with you unless you make it really clear what you want."? He thought about doing something provocative and overt, but the restaurant was definitely the wrong place for that sort of thing. But then an idea occurred to him.

"If you finish eatin'," he said, smiling hopefully as he picked up some sushi with the chopsticks and held it teasingly before Roue's mouth, "we can go somewhere else you might like. And where you could do, uhm, m-more than you could do here.? If'n you wanna, that is."

[Roue]

Though he's partaken just a bit of the sake, Roue was completely inebriated at this point.? If he had any inhibitions or reservations, they were now totally gone out the window like the rest of his logic and morality.? Roue didn't even notice how Rabbit wasn't really drinking any, continuing to pour more and more for himself.? When the bottle was emptied, the elf raised his arm and turned to the bar as he shook the container to get the attention of their server.? The impeccably dressed man hurried over to their side and replaced the emptied sake with a refill, taking the one out of his and just as quickly rushing away.

"<Mmm, you are so cute that I could just eat you right up,>" the wizard answered to whatever it is that Rabbit was crooning about.? He could tell that the youthful man in front of him was nervous with the way he fidgeted as the most wicked smile graced Roue's face.? Whether or not this place allowed this sort of conduct, he didn't know nor did he care if there were rules against this.? Even when some of the guests noticed Roue's behavior and excitedly whispered about it, his attention was still focused on Rabbit and nothing but.? When Rabbit returned his smile however, he knew that whatever he was doing had a big effect, so he decided to up the ante a little bit, to see where this would lead them to.

When he was offered a peace of sushi, Roue opened his mouth, using his tongue to push the bit of morsel inside.? He tantalizingly licked his lips all the while looking at Rabbit, indicating that he wanted him to feed him more.? Leaning forward, fingers gripping the edge of the table, continuing in this matter until he felt his belly was full and most of the food on the table was gone, not noticing how the other didn't seem to be eating any of it.? He thought about it but shrugged.? There was room for coherent thought, only alcohol that literally and figuratively coursed through his body.? The warmth that at first was just in his belly now spread throughout, completely flushing his cheeks and the edges of his pointed ears.? It felt very good, something that he felt needed to be shared with his companion there and then.

"<Oh, you seem to have some rice stuck on your fingers.? I wonder how that got there,>" he murmured, releasing the captive chopsticks and piece of sushi from Rabbit's hand, but didn't let go of it, pulling back towards himself.? He splayed out his counterpart's hand, admiring the delicate looking fingernails on each finger and then without hesitation, stuck his index finger in his mouth as he let his tongue taste the flesh.? At first, he did it gingerly, as if to make sure that it was safe for "consumption," but then gave it another, now less hesitant lick as he sucked the moisture off it.? Continuing in this manner, Roue made sure to clean off Rabbit's fingers one by one, eyes half-lidded as he concentrated on the task at hand.? Once he was done, he sat back, casting a sultry gaze at his companion, licking his own lips in delight but then dabbing it off with a tissue, waiting to see how the other was going to react to what he just did.

Re: The Door Between Two Worlds [Roue and Rabbit] (closed)

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

[Roue]

When the pair stepped inside the eatery, the noise, the lights and the assault of smells seemed to abate by quite a lot.? This place was still well lit, but a lot of the light came from the outside and the rest was turned up enough that it was comfortable but not blinding.? For that he was thankful because he didn't know just how much more he could take of that environment.? Here, things were quieter and only a low murmur of speaking voices was heard.? His ears peaked as he heard the sound of a bamboo pipe filling up with water and then tipping over, producing a hollow and bouncing but not at all unpleasant sound.? There was also music gently playing in the background which he recognized as a stringed instrument much alike the one he's heard being played in Amatsu.? He could tell, no, could feel even that this place was steeped in tradition.? The floor was lined with woven straw mats that were edged in black, layered in such a way as to produce a type of softness on the floor.? Each corner of the restaurant was bordered by live bamboo, and each table decorated by several of its branches cut and put into a miniature vase.? If he closed his eyes and concentrated, he could sense some kind of magic aura that hung in the air, barely palpable but it was there.? It seemed to be benevolent.

Roue's concentration however was broken by the approach of the restaurant's host.? The slightly shorter man was impeccably dressed and spoke in a distinctly different language than he previously heard from his companion.? They seemed to reach some kind of an agreement, followed by a deep bow of sorts, like some kind of a ritual, and then they were shown to a table.? It was set very low to the ground and had pillows instead of chairs.? Very strange, he thought, but when in Rome, so he mimicked Rabbit's motions, enacting the same bow and then picked a place across the table, crossing his legs as he sat down.? His companion then showed him a menu with a large variety of pictured foods but none of it was familiar to him so he felt losting trying to pick something.? Rabbit seemed to pick up on that and when another sharply dressed man approached them, he placed an order of several items with which the server did another ritualistic bow and rushed off to the back of the establishment.

While they were waiting for food, this gave Roue a chance to observe a little more.? He was still trying to come to terms with the fact that he was in a different world than his own.? Rune Midgard had its own connections to the spiritual and immaterial, but none of it was as readily accessible like he's been shown this day.? One couldn't just open a door and step through to an alternate universe, especially one so vastly different than the one he lived in.? This completely and totally flipped his knowledge of the world upside down.? If they could so easily cross over into this universe, how many more existed that he didn't know about?? How many knew about his world and have possibly journeyed into it?? As he warred within himself, he noticed how several guests here were also elven but he could not discern what ethnicity they were at all.? Some had ears longer than his and some just barely pointed.? Their clothing was also in high contrast to their class, the various fabrics of which were patterned in wild and outlandish styles, some loud and flamboyant and some muted.? Is it possible that his own people have journeyed into this world and mixed with the inhabitants of this one?? He felt his head exploding at the amount of information that forced its way inside, gripping his head as he closed his eyes, trying to shut it all out.? Just when it felt like he was reaching a critical point, he was broken out of his maelstrom by the sound of various dishes clinking and scraping against the surface of the table.

When he opened his eyes, Roue was greeted large plates containing varying amounts and types of food.? Some of it was wrapped in rice and seaweed which he recognized, then rolled and stuffed with mixture of seafood.? A different assortment, one which took most of the table, looked like a medley of vegetables deep fried in a golden batter.? To round out the fare, a cup of exotic smelling soup was placed before them.? Lastly, the server offered them some utensils, one of which was a ladle-like spoon that Roue knew was meant to be used with the soup, and another was a pair of sharply pointed sticks.? The server then said something and left, leaving Roue confused as to what he meant to with these things in his hands.? Again, Rabbit was on top of that.? His companion reached for the elf's hand, shaping them as he was meant to hold a pen and then showed him how to use them.? Though he concentrated on learning this strange, new craft, he couldn't help but notice how cool the hands were that touched his.? Why was he so cold, he wasn't sick, was he?? But Rabbit didn't seem unhealthy at all and was actually quite lively with the fidgeting that he did.? It was like a jigsaw puzzle that he had to figure out, but he didn't yet have all of the pieces he needed to piece it all together.

All that aside, however, Roue was mighty hungry, his stomach growling in protest to the elf looking at but not eating the food placed in front of him.? Before he could partake in any however, Rabbit offered Roue a tiny cup of clear liquid, that when he took felt quite warm to his hands.? He thought it weird that they shared some water that came from a tiny bottle and was poured into an even tinier cup, but he thought no further of it than the strange customs of this land that Rabbit seemed to follow.? The wizard opened his lips as he tipped the petite vessel into his mouth as the hot liquid rushed down his throat, warming his insides as it traveled down to his stomach.? He visibly shivered as a hiccup worked its way out his mouth and a rosy flush immediately colored his face and the tips of his ears. ? A strange sort of smile graced his face as he reached for the bottle again, pouring himself another cup, and then another and another, thoroughly enjoying the heat that worked its way out his belly.

"<You know,>" Roue started, hiccuping again which caused him to giggle a bit.? Placing his elbow up on the table, he tilted his head as rested it atop his palm, his eyes laser focused on Rabbit.? How is it that he didn't realize just how beautiful this stranger looked like sitting across the table from him?? He felt hopelessly lost in his companion's crystal clear blue eyes, like an ocean on a sunny day, not being able to look away.? A soft sigh escaped his lips as he reached for Rabbit's hand, the one free of a sharpened pair of sticks, running his fingers over the surface of the young man's skin.? He wrapped his fingers gently around the other's hand and pulled it to him, eyes fluttering closed as he kissed the top of it.? Then placing it right back where it first was, Roue turned to his food, placing a few wrapped rice rolls into his mouth, thoughtfully chewing them, though his attention never wavered from Rabbit, utterly mesmerized.

(Rabbit)

Rabbit watched in mild puzzlement as Roue first sampled, then eagerly began downing, the sake the waiter had brought to the table with the soup and the food.? "Wow," the little vampire murmured.? "I guess you really l-like that stuff.? I've never actually tasted it myself, but, uhm, I know a lot of people l-like it.? Specially here in, you know, J-japan."

The effects of Roue's rapid consumption of the sake quickly became evident, particularly when the elf began kissing Rabbit's hand and eyeing him dreamily.

"Are... are you f-flirtin' with me, Mister Roue?" the little vampire asked, fidgeting awkwardly under the intensity of the elf's gaze.? Part of him was elated of course, given his feelings of attraction to the stranger. But the rest of him was feeling uneasy and frustrated.? He knew how he would've responded if the stranger had not been a guest at the Dionysus.? The language barrier wouldn't have mattered and he would've just drawn the man aside for an unrestrained bout of snogging followed by some frenzied coupling and very likely a feeding as well.

But the elf _was_ a guest of the club, however tenuous, and so the club rules applied.? There had to be some level of understanding before Rabbit could indulge a guest.? A bit of hand kissing didn't reach that level.

"I really wish you could, uhm, you know, u-understand me," Rabbit sighed.? "I think you're super good-lookin' and really n-nice, but I cain' do nothin' with you unless you make it really clear what you want."? He thought about doing something provocative and overt, but the restaurant was definitely the wrong place for that sort of thing. But then an idea occurred to him.

"If you finish eatin'," he said, smiling hopefully as he picked up some sushi with the chopsticks and held it teasingly before Roue's mouth, "we can go somewhere else you might like. And where you could do, uhm, m-more than you could do here.? If'n you wanna, that is."
