Re: Port Vega: Clean-up in Room 12 (Kites, Gen)
[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..."
(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?"

Re: A Pirates Life (Khadashee and Draven)
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.
¡°Of course not. I belong to you now,¡± she said as she turned to continue pacing and then his question reached her mind and she stopped to look at him. ¡°Do you not know that? I belong to you and would never willingly lay with another.¡± She said her eyes unreadable. But her stiffened body language, the folded hands before her, if he knew her he knew was apprehension and fear.
(Draven) 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."? He wanted to pull her into his arms and let her relax, but didn't want to force it if she wasn't wanting to.

Re: Blood Bonds: Family Ties
Anais turned to him as he spoke to her. At his question, she tapped her chin thoughtfully. ¡°Well I like you in blue. And I love you in black.¡± She said desire in her eyes again. She could feel her mark itch and she suddenly wanted to jump him again.?
Taking a deep breathe to get her bearings again, she ran a shaking hand over her ponytail. This was an unusual feeling for her. The lack of control she felt around him now that she had given herself to him. She had to do something about that before she made Draven angry with her. He had made it clear he found her constant desire for him inappropriate.?¡°What are your family colors and will there be much formality at your home?¡± She asked to distract herself.
(Draven)
"Blue it is then," Draven said as he took out several blue shirts, both pull over 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.

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)
[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 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.?

Re: Port Vega: Clean-up in Room 12 (Kites, Gen)
(Gen)
"Hey!" Gen protested when Kites slapped her butt playfully.? Looking back over her shoulder, she mock-pouted at her shower companion, saying "Don't go breaking anything you might want to play with later." When he started rubbing his erection up and down against her slick butt in response to her teasing push against him, she smirked and said "See? I told you you'd want to play with it.? And just _you_ wait till we get out of the shower."? She didn't really know exactly what she had in mind, but she knew it would involve lots of rubbing against each other in as many places as possible.
Following Kites' instructions, Gen began working her way through the layers of his wings, using her fingertips to probe gently at where the feathers connected to the flesh.? "Does this feel right?" she asked hopefully. "Tell me if I'm not doing it right."
When she was done, Gen coaxed him to turn around so that they were facing each other once again, then pressed herself up against him, pulling his face to hers and devouring his mouth hungrily, the warm water running down over the two of them.? She raised a leg and hooked it around Kites' hip, pulling them even closer together.? It took hardly any thought for her to start shifting into boy-mode, and she felt her body change even as he continued to press himself all along Kites' front, the muscles in his chest growing firmer, his hands growing stronger, the planes in his face growing more pronounced and of course his male genitalia emerging to rub with increasing hardness and urgency against the winged youth's.?
"Looks like we've both got one now," the androgyne said huskily, his voice noticeably lower in register.? He gave Kites one last hungry kiss and a final flex of their hips together before lowering himself back down and shutting off the water.? Reaching out of the shower he grabbed a pair of large fluffy towels, handing one to Kites even as he began drying the other boy off, taking extra care when he reached Kites' wings. ?
"So, big boy," Gen purred, his eyes glinting impishly as he gazed up into the winged youth's face.? "You feel like playing around a bit before we take a nap?"
[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..."

Re: Port Vega: Clean-up in Room 12 (Kites, Gen)
[Kites]
"I know you know what I mean, Gen, so stop trying to catch me on a technicality," he said, raising an eyebrow as he smirked, playfully smacking on her butt as "punishment."? He grabbed a loofa on a shelf beside him, then squeeze a bunch of pleasantly scented body wash on it, working up some suds and bubbles as he worked to clean the grime off the androgyne as she endeavored to do the same.? He closed his eyes when she cleaned off his face, then returned her kiss as he looped one arm around her waist and pulled her closer, holding on tight as they smashed their faces together, the other arm holding onto the shower wall handle, loofa in hand.? A deep sigh escaped his lips when they broke for air for just a second, immediately getting back to it as Kites introduced his tongue in the mix.? He couldn't get enough of her, wanting to do more and more but he knew he had to hold himself back.? Regardless of what control he tried to exercise over himself, his body began to act in response to their making out, as heat pooled in his groin, pressing against Gen's thigh.
"You're definitely right on this being much better," he breathed, his breath a little ragged as he tried to catch up to the lack of air.? "Mmm...lonely indeed...it could use some attention..."? Smiling against her lips, he continue his attention on her face, until Gen disconnected, both of them panting as she turned around and asked to clean her wings.? It was quite tight in there so he moved the sponge to her wings and started meticulously cleaning every nook and cranny as she articulated the winged joints, letting him have access to various places that he would've otherwise have to bend to get to.? Once he made sure that all of her wings, inside and outside, he moved onto her back.? The cheeky, all puns intended, androgyne then decided to tease the hell out of Kites, pushing her butt up against his erection, rubbing it up and down to elicit a greater reaction out of his.? He gasped at the friction, closing his eyes as he bit his lip, forcing himself not to shoot off right at that moment.? He made a mental note to pay her back for that, feeling a shiver working its way down his spine.
"Bloody tease, Gen," he murmured, grabbing hold of her hips and then pushed his hips forward, mimicking the action that they would eventually enact for real.? "Two can play at this game.? Just wait till we get out of the shower..."? He had to stop and take a couple of deep breaths, forcing his libido to back down though that did absolutely nothing for his raging hard-on.? If this is how he was reacting now, he couldn't even imagine how hard it was going to be to hold himself back once they're bed, doing everything but.? This made him want to hurry, so he increased the speed with which he cleaned her back.? Once he was done and Gen caused her wings to retreat, he turned his back to her now, slight opening his wings to give her access.? "As for mine, just make sure you get your hands beneath the feathers in every single layer and sort of scrub in a manner as if you're gently scratching an itch.? Use the pads of your fingers, not your nails though, please.? Normally the oil in my feathers keep the water off, but not when it rolls back on the inside."
(Gen)
"Hey!" Gen protested when Kites slapped her butt playfully.? Looking back over her shoulder, she mock-pouted at her shower companion, saying "Don't go breaking anything you might want to play with later." When he started rubbing his erection up and down against her slick butt in response to her teasing push against him, she smirked and said "See? I told you you'd want to play with it.? And just _you_ wait till we get out of the shower."? She didn't really know exactly what she had in mind, but she knew it would involve lots of rubbing against each other in as many places as possible.
Following Kites' instructions, Gen began working her way through the layers of his wings, using her fingertips to probe gently at where the feathers connected to the flesh.? "Does this feel right?" she asked hopefully. "Tell me if I'm not doing it right."
When she was done, Gen coaxed him to turn around so that they were facing each other once again, then pressed herself up against him, pulling his face to hers and devouring his mouth hungrily, the warm water running down over the two of them.? She raised a leg and hooked it around Kites' hip, pulling them even closer together.? It took hardly any thought for her to start shifting into boy-mode, and she felt her body change even as he continued to press himself all along Kites' front, the muscles in his chest growing firmer, his hands growing stronger, the planes in his face growing more pronounced and of course his male genitalia emerging to rub with increasing hardness and urgency against the winged youth's.?

Reaching out of the shower he grabbed a pair of large fluffy towels, handing one to Kites even as he began drying the other boy off, taking extra care when he reached Kites' wings. ?
"So, big boy," Gen purred, his eyes glinting impishly as he gazed up into the winged youth's face.? "You feel like playing around a bit before we take a nap?"

Re: The Door Between Two Worlds [Roue and Rabbit] (closed)
(Rabbit)
"This is a place I like to come to s-sometimes," Rabbit said, leading Roue under a bright array of yellow-neon characters into what appeared to be some kind of eating establishment. But the tables were set very low and appeared to only have cushions to sit on instead of chairs.? Most of the people in the place seemed to be of a different race and sounded like they were speaking a different language.? But apparently it was one Rabbit knew as he called a server over and requested a table for two in that language, accompanied by some ritualistic body language. When they were seated, Rabbit showed the elf a menu with pictures of the available selections on it, with descriptions in both English and Japanese though he knew Roue probably didn't know either.
"I'm gonna order some stuff for you to, you know, t-try," the little vampire said, pointing at a number of the pictures.? "I'm hopin' there'll be somethin' you m-might like."? He caught the attention of a waiter who quickly came over, then talked to him in the other language Roue was hearing. <<Miso soup, the sushi platter, some veggie tempura, and a bottle of sake, please.>> The waiter nodded, smiled and bowed, then hurried off.
The crowd in the place was unusual, their attire very varied and outlandish.? Some of them even looked vaguely elven, though not like any elves Roue had ever seen.? Rabbit looked to him and explained.? "I picked this place 'cause a lot of cosplayers like to hang out here.? I f-figure no one's gonna, you know, w-wonder that much about your ears." ?
When the food came, Rabbit proceeded to show Roue what chopsticks were.? He took the elf's hand in his and guided him on how to hold the chopsticks and then on how to use them to pick up the pieces of sushi. The little vampire let his fingers linger a bit, enjoying the warm feel of Roue's hands, but then let him work them on his own.? He then poured the heated sake from its bottle into the delicate porcelain cup that had been provided.? "Try th-this," he suggested, making a drinking motion.? "I've heard it's pretty g-good."
[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.

Re: Port Vega: Time with Family
?-Rain-
"I...I...Ire....Ire."? She was right.? She was letting him in and all he did was pick.? He was so used to pushing people away it just came natural to him.? He realized she was right.? Arghhhh!? It was easy to point the finger when he wasn't that happy with himself.? They seemed to push him away...it was just his ways of pushing back.? She got up and took off. He left a fifty and took off behind her he saw which way she had gone.?
?When you were someone like him you tended to be pretty fast, it helped when you could see through walls as well..? When he got out side he disappeared from view.? He shot up into the air.? He moved till he was high enough to see her then he flew to her.? He moved till he was standing in front of her.? He never liked to her hurt her but everything?he did was pushing her away.? "Ireland...Please...I am sorry honey you are right.? Please don't leave me?alone...I swear if I say another foul thing about anyone of our family...you can not speak to me for a week.? I won't even call...but please...you...you are all I have left and if I lose you then I really will be alone. Please?!?"? He had too modes push and run and apparently both were working tonight but pushing her away was never on his agenda and it seems he had the knack for it...? He was just like Brandon only the opposite direction.? Brandon was whoa is me and he was get the hell away from me.? Damn he hated when Ireland was right!!!

Re: The Door Between Two Worlds [Roue and Rabbit] (closed)
[Roue]
Once Rabbit showed him the washroom, Roue got up off the bed and walked into the small room, twisting the cold metal handles.? It made him hesitate for a moment as he thought back to how the other man's face felt a little cold.? Now why would that be, did he just walk through an ice box?? It didn't quite compute so as the water warmed up, he dipped his hands under the stream and splashed it on his face.? Doing that a couple of times, he then rubbed his face and finally gargled a bit, rinsing out his mouth.? Once he was done, he turned the handles back and then grabbed a towel to dry himself off.? The elf then stepped back into the room as Rabbit kept saying something but again it was all just garbled nonsense.? Now that he was regaining his strength, he had to find some way of being able to communicate.? Gesturing was rudimentary at best, though at least it was working.? Otherwise they'd both up the creek with no paddles.
"<Okay, let's go eat,>" Roue echoed once the other man gestured for him to follow.? Slipping his boots on, he grabbed his money pouch underneath the pillow and tied it to the belt around his waist, then dropped it on the inside so that it stayed hidden.? Once he was done and ready to go, Rabbit led him out of the room and down the stairs back to the main hallway.? The dancing floor seemed to have mostly emptied out since the last time he was out, the wizard noted, though there were still some people who was mingling around, basking in the atmosphere.? He paused for a moment as he noted that some of them held shining tablets of some sort, all seemingly lit up from within, all of various sizes and that its owners kept tapping at its surface, laughing and having conversation.? It felt odd but he didn't have time to question it, even if he could, because he noticed Rabbit looking back at him so he broke out of his trance and ran to catch to him.? They stopped at a large, ornate door with a shiny brass handle.? The wizard wondered if that was an entrance to the dining hall, but when Rabbit stopped and took a short respite, the wizard suddenly felt disturbance in the air.? It was akin to a stone being cast into a still pond, causing a short splash followed by receding waves.? Before he even knew what happened, Rabbit grabbed Roue and pulled him through, quickly shutting the door.
Immediately, the elf was assaulted by a myriad of lights, sounds and smells all at once.? All of his senses were forced to take in and contend with multiple offending sources.? The super bright and flashing lights, the glare of which was adding to the effect, seemed to blind him so he raised his arm to try and block some of it.? His sensitive ears were violated by an amalgamation of sounds, a chimeran mix of various types of musics all mixing together, booming and playing at the same time.? Coupled with the smells of which there were even more than he thought he could handle at once invaded his nose like an infinite, untouchable army.? It threatened to overwhelm him until he felt a cool-like hand tightly grip his and pull him forward.? Before he even knew what was happening, Roue was on his feet and running, stumbling at times as he tried to keep up.? As his eyes slowly adjusted, he saw that it was Rabbit and in fear of being separated from him in this chaos, gripped his hand even tighter.? This was place was strange and disturbing, new and unknown, but there was no time to even look around because had he tried to turn his head, he would've surely stumbled and fell behind so he didn't and kept his focus on no one else but his companion.? So he just kept running, hoping there was an end to this chaos.
(Rabbit)

Troy Rising: The Searcher
Andy Hardin didn???t stand out in the crowd. With seemingly limited skills he moved with the Blood Nation providing simple duties. Good with a night vision implant in his left eye and a sharpshooter discipline he provided a tough guy roll for the travelling show. He wasn???t much to look at with dirty, tattered jeans, jacket and wild long black curly hair that sprang from his head like spikes. His skin was heavily tanned and his dark complexion gave the impression of some Choomba mix down the line.?? He rode one of only a handful of the Tesla Cyberbikes left in the outer regions.??
He???d been scouting at the time of the blip. He called it a blip but it was soon to be discovered to be much more than a blip. His focus was on the town and it???s people. He???d started at the campus, worked his way down to the cop shop and the so called government HQ.??
Every person he looked at was blinked into a pic file using his cyber eye. That???s what he really was. Andy Hardin was a searcher. Going from town to town imaging everyone he possibly could. Every night when he went on watch he???d upload the files to a SAT. The Corp he???d signed a long term deal would eventually pay. He???d waited, dreamed about that day. When it was over he???d take a hot shower for a whole day.??
The blip he???d noted only by the passage of the sun. One moment it had been right there then it was over here. He???d looked at that burning orb long enough to burn out his real eye if he???d kept it open. Using his optics it was easy to spot some differences.??
He???d sat down on the ground with a thud. Around him people did what they always did without knowing. They would soon enough. He shifted his jacket and stood back up. He still had a job to do even if the world had changed somehow. Unless Corp didn???t exist anymore. Then he???d have a serious talk with whoever was responsible for this.
Conversation was of the most bizarre he could ever remember in a lifetime of eavesdropping. Once the fact that they???d been shut out of the world a queer feeling hit his belly. Who was there left for him to report too? There were no sat links or armchair generals to spill his peepings to. His career had just taken a major left turn.??
The conversation boiled as people freaked. Families were lost. Life had changed forever for everyone in Troy. That change was only beginning to be felt. The first big news came with the odd tales of a battle between The Salvadoras and the dragons. The Saviors, the gang Aldecaldos had affectionately been relabeled. Rumors were rife and this had just happened. The news was unbelievable but Andy had seen the shift. Something had changed. Even the air was suddenly warmer.
Dragons? Others had been found. Other humans and a couple who were not. Not human? The dragons had been routed as well as a band of soldiers armed with seriously old tech weapons. The manner in which a dragon had met its fate was of particular interest to Andy. A women from town had vaporized the thing using what was being described as magic.??
Who was this woman? Details were sketchy. He had to find a first hand report.??
The streets of Troy showed signs of alarm as people tried to do what they were supposed to do but instead used their media devices to try and make heads or tails of the days events.?? A sketchy vid from earlier followed an adventuresome farmer as he was keeping tabs on his fields. Shots, explosions and other strange sights were evident through a tree line as shakily the cam showed distant warriors, presumably the notorious Aldecaldos engaging some backward looking soldiers.??
Another vid from the same farmer showed a strange beast sizzle through the air only to be met by some razzle dazzle missile display. A woman led the Aldecaldos in the engagement and some unusual weapon was used. The vid distorted badly and little else could be made out except the beast had been badly beaten in the attack.??
Who was the woman and why was she leading the attack against whatever that thing was? He began to ask around about the Saviors and what had happened.??
More information was gleaned at the hospital. He was able not only to find out what had actually happened but who the woman was. She wasn???t a member of the Aldecaldos but some local who???d entered the fray alone. The name, what???s the name of this woman?
???She is called Jan. I saw her,??? A friendly nurse confided to him. ???She came into the hospital. Something was wrong but it wasn???t bad. She was released.???
Jan, Jan, Jan, ???Andy thought, who the hell is she????
The nurse had no clue and as he ferreted out information more became clear. From several different people he found out she???d left quietly in a personal elctro. Color, make, size he discovered slowly, almost painfully from several witnesses he talked to outside the hospital.??
No one however had a last name for her. No problem, he linked into the Troy residence database and rummaged for all the Jans or Janets. There were two and neither of them fit the description.??
Damn! He was getting nowhere fast. Then a stupid thought came into his thick head. Why not hunt down the leader of the Aldecaldos and ask him? He???d just go ask Julian.

Re: Seven Fingers- Calon y M?r (Sara, Henri, Kir, John)

??? Kir stepped in and looked around. She stopped on one particular spirit. She had only seen Sara a couple of times yet she knew who she was. She looked to John and could see that he had seen her to. Especially since she heard him whisper. "She looks different. Not wearing the same thing she had been. Do you think that there might be something wrong with her?"
<John Merriweather>
??? ¡°Quite frankly, my dear,¡± John whispered to Kir with an uncharacteristic blush, ¡°she could have been wearing a band uniform and peacock feathers the last time we saw her for all I know. I really wasn¡¯t giving her much mind considering our compromised situation.¡±

Methinks ¡®twas a ill wind what blowed ¡®em in ¡®ere.¡± She cackled as she stood up, ¡°Ye can always tell the new ones,¡± she added to Sara with a wink, ¡°they all got¡¯s that ¡®what the ¡®ell ¡®appened t' me¡¯ look.¡±
??? ¡°¡¯Allo, cobbers,¡± Bonnie called to John and Kir, ¡°plant yer arses an¡¯ I¡¯ll fetch ye a pair o¡¯ pints, aye?¡±
- Sara Merrick -
Sara turned to in the direction that Bonnie had looked. And there as sure as she was dead was ?John Merriweather and his fair lady Kir. At first she was shocked seeing them. Scared for them. And then her eyes narrowed.
She stood and turned coming up behind Bonnie as the wench gave them a rather boisterous welcome. Coming around Bonnie she came to stand with her hands on her hips before John.
¡°What in all that¡¯s good and holy did you do?¡±

Seven Fingers- Calon y M?r (Sara, Henri, Kir, John)
<Sara Merrick>
Sara sighed. "Tis true. For a while I thought we were having a nice time and getting along rather swimmingly and then...then...he changed a bit. But he began speaking about his jewel. Became overly aggressive...in some ways rude. I do not do well in those situations, so I elected to leave him. I think I might had offended him and now he had gone away. I feel like I should search him out and help him. In so many ways he is a charming man, but in other ways, he seems like he could become violent when provoked and I did not think that was best for either of us." she went quiet shaking her head.
"I just do not know Bonnie. I wish there was someone I could talk to about him. The Captain is like no other spirit i have ever meet before."
<Kir>
??? Kir stepped in and looked around. She stopped on one particular spirit. She had only seen Sara a couple of times yet she knew who she was. She looked to John and could see that he had seen her to. Especially since she heard him whisper. "She looks different. Not wearing the same thing she had been. Do you think that there might be something wrong with her?"
<John Merriweather>
??? ¡°Quite frankly, my dear,¡± John whispered to Kir with an uncharacteristic blush, ¡°she could have been wearing a band uniform and peacock feathers the last time we saw her for all I know. I really wasn¡¯t giving her much mind considering our compromised situation.¡±

Re: Seven Fingers- Calon y M?r (Sara, Henri, Kir, John)
<John Merriweather>
??? John stopped with his hand on the knob of the ethereal door and went into ¡®professor¡¯ mode. ¡°In the spirit realm,¡± he explained, ¡°things, bodies, ones circumstances are ¡®remembered¡¯. See, none of this is real. If a spirit is affixed in death with a great deal of emotion, then it remembers things much clearer than, say, one who has died peacefully in their sleep. That is why most of the spirits you see wandering these streets appear to have met a violent end.¡±
??? ¡°Take for example our Sara,¡± he continued. ¡°Her demise was incredibly emotional, though somewhat less than violent. Her soul was trapped outside of her body for quite a while. She was a zombie, you see, before she died in earnest. As a result, she is a powerful spirit, even more-so since she was strong willed and resolute in life.¡±
??? He chuckled then. ¡°As you might have noticed by our exchange in the boudoir earlier.¡± He finally opened the door and gave a little bow, ¡°after you, my dear.¡±
??? When they entered the pub John noticed a pair of women in archaic garb chatting at one of the tables. It took him a second to recognize Sara as one of them since she was dressed in a period attire.
??? ¡°Good lord,¡± he whispered.
<Kir>
? ?Kir stepped in and looked around. She stopped on one particular spirit. She had only seen Sara a couple of times yet she knew who she was. She looked to John and could see that he had seen her to. Especially since she heard him whisper. "She looks different. Not wearing the same thing she had been. Do you think that there might be something wrong with her?"

Re: Port Vega: Time with Family
- Rain -
¡°Don¡¯t be like that. Tell me something and I will try to listen to you. I can¡¯t speak for him. You have to talk to him about listening to you. But here I am. talk to me.¡± He did listen to her when she talked to him and he would do just about anything for her but come back home. Too many issues with that. ¡°I will give her a shot, but she will probably get bored once she realizes she can¡¯t put her hands in my pockets.¡± He just believed but he would try. ¡°You think we make a great couple?!?¡± Ireland had him wrapped around her finger, she always did. She could work magic, but she couldn¡¯t make the boys get along.
¡°What the hell?!? Slow down? Laughing boy got a girlfriend? Is she a troll? Does she look like you?¡± He asked he was shocked, to say the least, the boy was so repressed after getting turned away by Ireland you could put a lump of coal up his...never mind. ?"Is she cute?"
She was right on that he wasn¡¯t coming back home¡not even for her. No matter how much he loved her. Chord was always busy unless it was for laughing boy or Ireland. He was left out of that close circle, at least that was his point of view. ¡°So the only way I can see you now ?is to call or ask you to come out to dinner or lunch?¡± He arched his eyebrow as he looked at her, he knew he missed her but still.
¡°Harrison getting married? Well damn¡Iron ass getting married¡well, ok miracles can happen.¡± He secretly had a crush on Harrison, but he would never go in her direction. In truth of them all, he was happiest for her. He respected her even though she wasn¡¯t that approachable, she was the most helpful with his abilities and training but that was it.
¡°You want me to invite him over and leave you two alone?¡± He smirked looking where she smiled.
- Ireland -
She rolled her eyes. "So I can't be nice to anyone now?" She said. "Damn Rain, can you even be nice? Do you even know how to be? I know this is supposed to be what big brothers do rip and pick and make fun of but damn, you don't have anything nice to say about anyone in the family. I tell you Harry's getting married and she is Iron Ass. I tell you Brandon has a girlfriend and now his girl is a troll. I tell you Chord is working and you roll your eyes. I know you hate us. You hate Chord because he gives a fuck. You hate Brandon because he is thoughtful and considered. You hate Imogene because she pushed us all to be great and live up to our potential. But do you really hate us all this much that you can't even go one fucking sentence without some rude ass condescending jack ass comment? That you can't say one nice thing about us? The people who despite the fact that you are being a major jerk, still love you. Damn, I guess is one of you gansta friends had a gun to our head you would tell them to pull the trigger." Tears filled eyes.
"Thanks for dinner, but I suddenly not feeling well. I guess I'll catch you later." Ireland said standing and running out of the restaurant. As soon as she got to the door she ran hard down the street. It was getting dark and the summer sidewalk was busy and she hoped she could disappear into the crowd. She just couldn't do Rain right now. She had too much on her plate. She felt like she had betrayed Brandon and she didn't ever like Rain bashing him, but she definitely couldn't do it now when she felt like she had hurt him so much. Especially knowing she was about to let both Chord and Harrison down with what she had decided.
No she loved her brother...she just couldn't do it today. Not today.?
?
don't have anything nice to say.?
