Re: Seeking an Audience with the Prince. [Prince of Paris, Vincent,]
(Prince Jean-Pierre and Lady Jacqueline)
"I see," The Prince said. "You have given me so much to think on, Vincent. I appreciate you coming to me with this before you moved I would have for there to be an incident in my city that I did not know of. Thank you."
"Pardon me, for interrupting. But Vicent what is she like? The lycan, vampire hybrid? Is she move us than them? Is she more human than anything? Is she animal or civilized?" Lady Jacqueline asked.
(Vincent) Vincent gave a nod to the Prince, "of course, sire. I wouldn't ever do anything that would jeopardize your city." Then he answered the Lady.
"She is mainly human. The werewolf came out only that one time so far. She is a very stubborn woman, though. She refuses to eat, afraid that we have tainted the food. Which if she really thinks about it, I wouldn't do anything to harm those children. I have yet to see her vampire side. Not even sure if she knows what to do with it."

Re: High Moon Tales. Tales of the Wicked West - Charity and Sicilien
(New Charity)
?
Charity sat on the floor in her room, legs crossed beneath her, as dark magic swirled about her. The Dark Rider was somewhere in Miller's Crossing, but she wasn't sure where or what he was doing. She was more concerned with finding the outsiders, for she knew they were drawing near.
?
As she focused, she could feel them approaching. Etienne had separated from the group and that made Charity smile. She would be alone and vulnerable now. As for the others, they were nearly beneath the town. It was time to divide them as a group and conquer.?
?
Slowly, yet simultaneously, she crept into each of their minds until she was able to cut them off from one another, then Charity appeared to each of the travelers -- just she and each individual alone, in a place created in their minds. The place differed from person to person...someplace that brought them fear and a feeling of dread...and once she had them each isolated there, she asked them, "Why have you come all this way? You know, deep down, you cannot defeat me."
?
[Sicilien]
?
At first Sicilien thought that he blacked out, because his sight had suddenly been completely taken away from him and when he was next able to open his one, unsealed eye, he found himself back in Palenuma.? The same fucking town that he turned into a crater after having razed everything and everyone in it where he lost not only the last remaining dregs of his humanity, but also his beloved and their child that was never even given a chance to live.? Except this town was intact, one day before ground zero, when he and Rosalie had faced each other off in a battle that should've never happened.? He found himself standing 100 feet from her whose eyes were blazing with fury, her arms rising in the beginnings of an attack, but it was as if time had slowed down to a crawl.? Panic and bile started to rise in his throat as his body acted against him, his hands curling around his Colts which he took out and cocked, pointing the guns straight at the love of his life, and just as he was about to pull the triggers, a disembodied voice came from nowhere and every at once, and that was all it took for Sicilien to break out of this awful memory.
The bounty hunter chuckled, decocking the funs as he slid them back inside their holsters and fished around his coat for his pack of cigs, lighting one up as he took a long drag and let out a satisfying column of smoke.
"So, the manikin finally makes her appearance. Afraid to show your face, you two-bit whore?" he spoke back, not exactly sure where to look, but it was certainly anywhere but Rosalie who now stood frozen in time.? "I will admit, you almost, almost had me there until you opened your big, fat mouth.? Maybe get that frog out of your throat and try to actually sound like who you're trying mimic?? Just a little tip."? He stood there laughing to himself, finishing the cigarette as he took out another and started smoking that too.
"The fuck do you care why I'm here?? Are you afraid?? Tittering in your little whore panties that we're coming for you?? I'm in it to win it, baby.? Here for the ride of a century," he continued, clasping his hands behind his head as he leaned back nonchalantly.? "And maybe have a little fun along the way.? I mean what else is there to live for, amirite?"

Re: Raconteur City: The Turning (Pyp, Kutsuki, NPC Nicolas)
Pyp made a note of what he was seeing through his summoner's eyes.? The name of the street. What it looked like.? Where the entrance to the club was.? It wouldn't be hard to find if the need arose.? Pyp had to admit that this Nicholas guy was smooth and seemed to be having no trouble manipulating Kutsuki into doing what he wanted.? His summoner must be seriously in need of a good fuck to be so easily led around like this.? Not to mention naive, a point which he'd tried to make with Kutsuki a number of times, without success.? The white-haired youth was an arrogant little sod not inclined to listen to others, even to a demon from Hell itself who'd been around far longer than him.? He wonder how Kutsuki would handle being in a small club space filled from wall to wall with "filthy human bodies" which the Dragon's Claw showed every sign of being.? He snickered and sipped at his drink as he continued to watch and listen.
(Kutsuki) "Me?? Haha, no.? Absolutely not.? I am much better than they are, and certainly not filthy," Kutsuki said with pride, tilting his chin up as he looked to Nicholas.? He did have to bite his tongue back on the inhuman part.? Why should he have to reveal anything about himself in the first place?? It's not like Nicholas was very forthcoming with his own identity, having just as deftly avoided the real reason why Kutsuki asked who he was.? Even if he revealed that he was...tainted, it's not like Nicholas would even understand.? He was quite sure that the older man would probably even think he was crazy.? "And I know you're Nicolas, but that's not answering my question.? What do you prefer anyway?? Shall I call you Nico also?"
Before he realized, however, they were already at the entrance to the club.? One wouldn't have known that was anything but a non-descript door build into a faded brick facade had the name of the place not been emblazoned in bright, fluorescent?pink with white highlights.? Indeed, as he stood deathly still and listened, he could hear the heavy beat of music escaping through the cracks in the wall.? Had this been any other time, not the stark of the night like it was now, the existence of this place would be lost in the hustle and bustle of the city.
"R-ready," Kutsuki trembled, though he was sure that that was a lie of the century.? He could already feel that sickening feeling start to rise up, making his skin crawl, but when he looked at Nicholas, that feeling was immediately stamped down and his cheeks colored.? He cleared his throat, coughing into the fist of his other hand and this time spoke with a more assured tone.? "I mean I'm more than ready.? Take me inside."
(Nicolas) "Which ever you prefer to use, Nico or Nicolas. Not a filthy human, okay so just a normal human then. Got it." Nico said as they headed inside.
The place looked like a speakeasy. Even though the music was thumping it wasn't overly loud. There was a bar at one end of the place, a dance floor and then a stage. Above that was the DJ stand.
There were a few people on the floor but most were hanging out around the bar waiting for their drinks. "What's your poison?" Nico asked Suki.?

"No, I like the forwardness. Life's too short for games. Not an issue with me at all." Mia said as she liked what Del was giving in return. "We can talk later, for now..." Mia returned the kiss as one of her hands slipped down between them to find Del ready and waiting, slipping two fingers inside began working her new lover.

(Del)
?
Del gasped as Mia began playing with her quite aroused pussy, expertly working two fingers in and out of her sensitive folds.? She instinctively pulled her new lover closer, arching her leg behind Mia's waist and her arm around the other woman's back, their mouths locked together in mutual hunger and devouring.? Her body craved more contact, writhing up with her hips to meet Mia's finger-thrusts, hands searching every inch of the other woman's torso and butt till they reached the wet fold's of Mia's sex where she began mimicking her lover's actions and rhythms.? The sweaty heat of the other woman's body against her own only raised the fever within her.?
?
"So good," Del murmured huskily, her brown eyes losing themselves in Mia's lighter ones.? "If this was any better I don't think I could stand it.

(Flynn)
?
It was disorienting for the pookah for a moment as the cave around him suddenly went grey and then reformed into a completely different scene around him.? He was back facing the tribunal that had condemned him and forced him into exile.? Which was impossible.? Not only was it 120 years ago, but the chamber was an ocean away. And there was the fact that all of the tribunal members were dead.? It had to be an illusion, he thought.? But if it was, it was a damn good one.? It looked, sounded and felt as real as he remembered it.? And the memory of that night was close to unnerving him.
?
But the voice that now spoke in the dimly lit chamber was not the voice of the taoiseach.? It was a woman's voice, one he did not recognize, and yet he knew instinctively that it was the voice who whoever was behind the evil coming out of Miller's Crossing.
?
"Do ah know that?" Flynn mused out loud.? There was nothing visible in the chamber that appeared to be the source the voice, making it all the more unsettling.? "Ah don' think ah do."? He chose to look at the taoiseach even though the illusion did not look back at him.? "And ah don' think you know that either, or you'd be willin' to face us instead of sendin' your unnatural revnants to try'n scare us off."

Re: A Pirates Life (Khadashee and Draven)
(Draven)
A few of the rooms had boards over the windows, most of them were on the east side of the home. Draven used a small bar to gently pull the nails out of the frames before removing the boards, "let's see, Bridget is 5 now, so about a year. She had just turned 4 when I left. Before that I had been on the island for the first three years of her life, then left for about 6 months before returning. I missed her too much to stay away long." He answered Khadashee.
?
As Khadashee made her way around the place, she would come to a door. Upon opening it, she would find a child's room. There were many soft toys and the softness of the room was a great contrast to the roughness of Draven and the rest of the place.
?
Khadashee
As Khadashee walked through the house and listened to Draven, she realized more than ever that her plan to leave the babe with him was a sound one. He was a good father and by his own words would not be able to stay away from his children long. If she had a boy he would be able to take the little with him on his runs. She was glad she did not leave. This would indeed work out.?

"A hunch brought me to Paris and well, currently..." He paused as he felt more of himself healing, "...I am not a civilized chap." He had answered enough and wasn't going to say anymore to this warden. He had no reason to. He would take what ever she ordered the thugs to do and would either die or continue to heal until he couldn't no longer. Then he would die anyway. Either way, he really no longer cared.
(Beast)
She chuckled. "I like him." She said. "I think I like him a lot."?
"Should we give him to the dogs or the leeches boss?" One of the thugs said.?
"I haven't decided yet. For now, we need to know what kind of deal he made at the witch's house." turning Draven she said. "Plan to tell us that this hunch was? And thy the hell you were with the witch?"

Re: Seeking an Audience with the Prince. [Prince of Paris, Vincent,]

"She was taken when a party was gathered for trading. I kept her when I realized who she was instead of sending her off to be sold." With a shrug, "for now, keep her until she has her children. After that, I haven't decided, but Chantel and I will be raising the children. As for Lord Draven, I do not know if he knows or not. She claims he has abandoned?her. But if he comes calling I am prepared to kill him." And that last part was said without smile or any hint of joking. He was planning on killing Mr. Draven Phillips and would succeed in this plan.

Re: Whispers in the Dark - Scheherazade, Callum
(Jaimie, Callum)
The young ghost was taken aback by Scheherazade's seeming rebuke, wondering what he might have said or done to provoke it.? It took him a moment to realize his error, at which his puzzlement turned to mortification.?
"As... as ye wish, Mistress Sam," Jaimie said hurriedly, picking up the tray, clearly distressed, so much that the cups and saucers rattled in his hands.? "Ah forgot that ye didnae ken... that ye aye dinnae realize..."? He stopped.? He was only making it worse.? He wanted to flee the room in his embarrassment.? Laird Callum would likely be furious.??
"Ah'm sorry, mistress," he muttered abjectly as he headed for the door.? Completely forgetting the tray he was carrying as he sought to pass through it.? "Ah'll git oot o` yer--"
The tray collided with the solid reality of the door even as the young ghost vanished through it, sending the tray and everything on it crashing to the floor inside Scheherazade's room.? Jaimie instinctively wished himself to the undercrofting in the bottom of the keep, huddling in the darkness.? "Ah'm sorry, Laird Callum," he wailed, clutching his arms around his knees.? "Ah'm sorry."
?
- Scheherezade -
Scheherezade sighed at the dropped tray whose contents now littered her floor. Moving back to the door, she picked up the fallen contents, place them back on the tray and pick the tray up and place it on the nightstand. Running a weary hand over her face, Sam moved back to the balcony doors. The night outside was beautiful.
She didn't know why what Jaimie said had made her so angry... no, not angry...it hurt her. His words had hurt her. Why did his words hurt? Why did she care if a backwater hick and some country that wasn't her own in a run-down bed and breakfast she now own those she had no loyalty to? She shouldn't, should she? But that didn't mean that words hurt any less.?
Scheherezade stood at the balcony doors looking over the beautiful night scene. She wanted to go for a walk. Need to think. That was what she did at home when her emotions ran high. Went for a walk...did some self-reflection.?

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

?Andrew focused his spyglass on the distant ship on the horizon.? The one that was keeping its distance but also the one that had altered its course to match that of the Elusive.? He doubted that this was mere coincidence. Lowering the spyglass, he frowned in thought.? Much as he didn't want to, he would need to inform Evone' of their apparent shadow.
"Evone', my love," he said quietly, coming to where she was sitting on the forward deck on a pile of coiled rope, "there's something you need to see."? He handed the spyglass to her and pointed to a barely visible spot on the far horizon, a few points to the right of their course.? He waited until it seemed that she had the thing in sight.? "It appears to be shadowing us.? I wasn't sure at first, but whenever we make a course change, it matches it.? And it's been trying to keep out of sight.? We lose it now and then, but it always reappears if we keep looking for it."
"I'm going to try to lose them when the sun finally sets.? But I felt you should know."? He took the spyglass back and folded it up.? "I'll wager a guinea that it's your unlamented husband and his pirate partner."
?
?- Evone' -
At the sound of her name, she looked up at Andrew with a smile on her face. He would be able to see the happiness and peace in her eyes. With him...on this ship she felt at home.
"My god, have I told you just how fucking handsome you are?" she said reaching for his cheek and then sitting forward to kiss his lips softly.? She listened intently to his words until he said? "Lucas," she said softly. "Lucas is out there? Following us? You mean he's found me again? " He would see it there...in her eyes...fear, terror. She remembered what happened the last time. How Lucas has...what Lucas did... she hadn't been herself with him. He had changed her...
Evone's swallowed, nodded then stood. "What do we do?"?

Re: High Moon Tales. Tales of the Wicked West.
OCC: Forgive me for jumping in with a Charity post, but I'm hoping to get things moving along and follow with some of the direction we discussed before. Charity will be looking inside each of the characters to see if she can play upon some weakness.?
(Chase) Chase moved away; the arid magical nature of the place tickled his nostrils but he continued moving in that direction. He was able to get a sense for where he was going, he walked sniffing there were no dead or rotting flesh so they were ok for the most from what was without, he was not surprised by the change.
He sniffed some more and knew who it was without looking back. ¡°The happy couple need some more private time?¡± He smirked to himself, that was out of line considering the man just lost his own lover to God knows what, if she survived that whatever it was. It was through him that she would rather take her chances out there than be with them.
Flynn called for them to bunk down for a bit and he did that. He was in a mood. I will take first watch.¡± He pulled out one of his blades and sharpening stones and went to work, he looked like he was doing just that, but deep down he was pondering why she would leave and what was really their next move¡there was likely no one in the town alive now with that much evil running around and yet???
?[Sicilien] ? "I can take the second watch whenever you need a break, Chase," Sicilien called out to the man, leaving him alone for the most part.? Flynn was the leader, so to speak, so if he said rest, then they rest.? The bounty hunter wasn't about argue about wanting to keep going.? He was too wound up to know whether he was truly tired or not. "So, if ya'll don't some conversation," Sicilien quietly said, hopping off the horse as he picked the smoothest hole in the ground and sat down.? "How did all of you get roped into this?? Was this a chance meeting that turned into something more, or were ya'll already familiar with each other?"
? (Callie Carson) ? ? ?Callie was annoyed they were stopping again. At this rate they might as well let Miller's Crossing be destroyed and just try and save other nearby settlements. She understood Flynn needed rest to re-energize himself, but she really didn't want any more delays.? ? ?Wide awake and chomping at the bit to press on, Callie sat down on the cave floor and looked at Sicilien as he spoke.? ? ?"Flynn and I work for a...security company that deals in this sort of thing. Blackstone Security," she said. "This was our assignment. I guess everyone else just sort of fell into this with us." ? (Flynn) ? "We're goin' in kinda blind," Flynn added, leaning back on his gear.? "Word quit comin' outta the Crossin' 'bout a coupla weeks ago.? And our contact died on us shortly after we got here.? Couldn' get much outta him 'cept him tellin' us 'They all daid' over and over again." ? "And now it seems we're one short, though I don' know what her role in all this was supposed to have been."? The only light in the cavern was coming from the wisp, casting flickering shadows all about the group.? "But at least nothin' seems to be comin' after us.? For the moment, anyways." ? It was hard to tell how much time passed in the near darkness.? But then Flynn was up and about, rousing the others.? "Time to get movin' again." ? They stopped twice more, until finally the wisp itself stopped, going no further. ? "Looks like we're here," the pookah said, staring at where a tunnel - man-made by the look of it - now led upwards.? "We're right beneath the Crossin', and I'm guessin' this must be the way up."? He looked to Callie and the others.? "You all ready?? There's no tellin' what's up there now 'cept it's probably bad and is gonna try'n kill us.? Or worse."
(New Charity)
Charity sat on the floor in her room, legs crossed beneath her, as dark magic swirled about her. The Dark Rider was somewhere in Miller's Crossing, but she wasn't sure where or what he was doing. She was more concerned with finding the outsiders, for she knew they were drawing near.
As she focused, she could feel them approaching. Etienne had separated from the group and that made Charity smile. She would be alone and vulnerable now. As for the others, they were nearly beneath the town. It was time to divide them as a group and conquer.?
Slowly, yet simultaneously, she crept into each of their minds until she was able to cut them off from one another, then Charity appeared to each of the travelers -- just she and each individual alone, in a place created in their minds.

Evone' sat on a pile of rope, looking out into the beautiful open sea. The clouds were large and billowy. The sky was bright and blue and the water was soft. It was a perfect day. They were traveling to France to see her father. She wanted to make sure he was okay after all her ass of supposed to be dead ex-husband said he was not well. She was grateful to Andrew for taking her there. She was worried that he would be found. Yes, she knew she shouldn't be worried considering he said she shouldn't be but she was. He was a pirate after all.?
Looking out into the water, she saw the ships pass by them. Some close some not. She hadn't been paying much attention to the ship traffic to determine if any were following them or not. So she did not have the same concern he did.?

Re: Port Vega: Taking the Reins (Macamber, Brandon)
?
(Brandon)
?
Brandon listened to Macamber, he listened intently. ? He wanted to laugh at her, he knew of the will, but the public will was what remained¡the private will was what he had access to.? He knew the truth, it was all left to Ireland!? In truth, he wasn¡¯t mad nor angry.? It made sense.? She was better suited, she was smart, diplomatic, resourceful, headstrong, and beautiful.? There were so many days he wished she wasn¡¯t his sister, but then he remembered Raine¡¯s words which told him, he never really stood a chance! ?
?
?His brother often used that to remind him of his weakness, even last night he accused him of letting it happen, of not being there!? Of letting her spend more time with Dad, instead of being there for her.? The first time he gets a woman, he turns his back on everyone¡Ireland was always in his corner and he still didn¡¯t believe or trust her.? He figured she only came back to show him up¡when in truth he needed to step up.? He was not going to be their leader if he was too busy pining after a woman! ?
?
?He found himself listening to the woman before him whose words truly fell on deaf ears.? Ireland was the heir apparent and Raine and he was to support her.? The two boys would have to share the throne and only if Raine made amends and came back.? He knew that wasn¡¯t happening.? Raine told him in so many words that Ireland¡¯s death was his fault and he was NEVER coming back!
?
?He couldn¡¯t agree more!? Had she been with him instead of in that copter she would still be alive to run the company so it was, his fault!? He played the tape over and over again in his head¡ ¡®I love you¡but you don¡¯t love yourself enough to be concerned for anyone else¡but you!¡¯
That was what he heard!? It was true, every woman he ever found himself going after seemed to feel the same thing¡and none of them wanted a weak man!
Someone that didn¡¯t think they were worthy themselves!? How could he value them, if he didn¡¯t value himself? ?
?
?He wasn¡¯t a hero because he put others first!? He was a hero because he couldn¡¯t be killed!? Because every day he went out there¡he wanted to die! ? He made sure those around him were safe, that was why he put himself in harm¡¯s way.? He was a coward! ? In so many, many ways.? He didn¡¯t stand up to his father, he didn¡¯t take responsibility, he didn¡¯t honestly try to be someone that Ireland could love and respect. ? He honestly wasn¡¯t brave enough to pull the trigger himself!
All of the criminals and villains that he put away, never learned his secret! ?¡®How do you kill a man with nothing to live for?¡¯ ?The pain and hurt of never feeling good enough, never feeling worthy, lived and breathed in him.? To those looking in, he was son to one of the richest men in the country if not the world, what could he want for, be depressed about.? And yet every day he walked around as he had given up on life.¡®He was six feet from the edge and the drop didn¡¯t seem that far down!¡¯ ?He just wasn¡¯t willing to take it!
?
?His father could not in good conscious leave the company to him.? Too many lives depended on him.? That was the irony of this situation!? Now they depended on him anyway.? He was on the road to nowhere¡and he was trying to escape! ?
?
?He could only smile to mask the pain. ?¡°The better choice?? I see.¡± ?He could only sit and listen his fingers steepled in front of him. ?¡®If she only knew!¡¯ ?He thought looking at the woman before he speak.
?
?¡®Good for the company¡try last resort!¡¯ he licked his lips. ?¡®Not an accident!¡¯ ?His attention perked up. ?
?
?He listened to all of the information. ?¡°Time is something none of us have any more¡¡±He looked at her. ?¡°Process grief?? How do you propose or when do you, propose that I do something like that Macamber?? I have a company to run, bills that need to be paid, projects to finish.? People¡¯s lives and livelihoods to contend with.? I don¡¯t have time to mourn now.¡± ?He looked up, there was a fire of boldness within his eyes.
?
?He heard of the investigation, ¡°I need that to be put on high priority, I will go through the books this weekend.? I should be ready by Monday.¡± ?He looked up. ?¡®Everything that was my father¡¯s was now mine¡I am his successor by default!¡¯ ?He really let that sink in.? Chord chose Ireland but she wasn¡¯t there to take over so rather than bringing in an outsider it fell to him. ?
?
?He found himself chuckling, as he listened to where his two teammates were. ?¡®They were secure in each other¡¯s arms right now. ? He would page Mia again to make sure she was safe.¡¯
?
?¡°Raine had nothing to do with this¡I can assure you!¡± ?He said still rubbing his jaw, recalling the fight from last¡this morning.? With all of his skill, Raine wasn¡¯t that good of an actor.? He tore into him after finding out that Ireland really was gone. ?¡°And he already knows.? I can call him, I can even give you his number, but he won¡¯t be stepping foot inside of here without trying to bring the building down around our ears.
There has been enough bloodshed with my family thank you.? Leave him where he is¡please.¡±
He paused, ¡°he might have hated our father, for whatever reason, he might have been angry at Harrison, but he respected her.? He loved Ireland like a pair of lucky drawals.? If he did it, I will have been duped by him, yet again!? But right now there will be no me and him together unless it is on the battlefield.? Whoever killed our sister better pray I find them first.¡± ?He could only imagine what someone with deity-like power would do to someone like that!
?
?¡°Anything else Ma¡¯am?!?¡± ?Brandon was aware and focused right now.? He might mourn days, even months later, but right now he was in that place of just getting things done.
?
(Macamber)
?
Macamber hesitated a moment, mentally processing what Brandon had said, then nodded.? "As you wish, sir.? We will hold off taking any action with regard to Raine, but I think it would be advisable to keep him under surveillance as much as possible.? Especially given what you've just about the state of your relationship with him." She favored him with a serious look.? "We cannot risk losing you on top of losing your father."
"There's nothing else at the moment, sir.? I will keep you appraised of any new information that turns up.? And I'll also continue to try and bring Mia back into the facility.? For her own protection." She glanced down at her tablet and her mouth quirked wryly.? "I don't think we have to worry about Kites and Gen going anywhere for the time being.? They seem to be quite... occupied, for the moment at least."

Re: Raconteur City: The Awakening (Posting Order: Scarlett, Kitty/Katya, Hollywood/Diego/NPC Isabel, Ariein, Colin, open) Add your name as you join the thread.
(Hollywood) Hollywood looked at Diego as Scarlett said the name of the cartel. He shook his head as he knew who they were, he shook himself as if he shivered, glanced up at Hollywood then back at Scarlett. Hollywood then said, "yes, I have heard their name before and Sofia is a witch and seems to run the entire show from there. As for exterminating the local human gangs, I have no reason to do so. We need to get rid of this cartel that is wreaking havoc on the supernatural sides of things. I want you to find out what other types of beings may be with this cartel aside from vampires. I have a strong feeling that their is more to them than vampires. Then we can make a move to take them out."
(Kitty/Katya) The two exchanged glances when they saw the wolf react to the name of the cartel. Kitty wondered what his connection had been and if he was more than just a wolf. Katya received a text back from her contact and her suspicions?were confirmed, that this Los?Muertos were behind the attack at the docks. She would have to let Ashton know soon.
(Colin)
Colin had slipped quietly in the door for the main room as Hollywood had finished speaking. He knew he was late, but hoped that his absence then sudden appearance had been noticed. He wondered at the woman sitting on the throne with a black wolf, no werewolf, at her side. He would know a werewolf anywhere thanks to his sister. He wondered how many others in the room realized what he was. He would wait to introduce himself when the time was right.
(Scarlett MacAleister)
Scarlett bowed her head toward Hollywood. Before she could give it any thought, she said, "I am at your service, sire." She was no longer a Protector and hadn't been for more than 35 years. But it seemed she and the Midnight Society had a mutual opponent and working together made sense. Besides, if she could repair the bridges she'd burned with the vampire nation it wouldn't hurt.

Re: Whispers in the Dark - Scheherazade, Callum

Sam had been casually with sipping her soup listening to Jamie intently explain his story. She found she could understand him so much better. A fact that made her smile to herself.?
?
She also found it fascinating that the young man had carried on the tradition of his family in this day and time. Especially when so many young people were giving up family traditions and going in for their own place in the world. The fact that Jaimie had stayed on as a servant at a quaint castle run by and eccentric old laid was a tell in and of itself. It also spoke to his character. And then he said something that she didn¡¯t expect.

Someone like you¡The statements stung. It didn¡¯t sound at all generous. Sam didn¡¯t like the way it made her feel. Someone like her??
?
¡°Someone like me¡hmm¡what does that mean, Jaimie?¡± She said the hurt in her voice. ¡°You don¡¯t know anything about me, Jamie but yes it might shock you to know that, like you, completely understand being bound to something. To make decision purely based on your responsibilities other. To have those need you. To want to be needed. But as you said. You have chores to do and apparently I¡¯m keeping you from them. My apologies I was hoping we could be friends, but you have rightly set me straight.¡±

Sam set her cup down back on the tray. ¡°You can take the tray, Jaimie. It appears i have lost my appetite.¡± She moved away from the chairs towards the balcony to look out the window.

The young ghost was taken aback by Scheherazade's seeming rebuke, wondering what he might have said or done to provoke it.? It took him a moment to realize his error, at which his puzzlement turned to mortification.?
?
"As... as ye wish, Mistress Sam," Jaimie said hurriedly, picking up the tray, clearly distressed, so much that the cups and saucers rattled in his hands.? "Ah forgot that ye didnae ken... that ye aye dinnae realize..."? He stopped.? He was only making it worse.? He wanted to flee the room in his embarrassment.? Laird Callum would likely be furious.??
?
"Ah'm sorry, mistress," he muttered abjectly as he headed for the door.? Completely forgetting the tray he was carrying as he sought to pass through it.? "Ah'll git oot o` yer--"

The tray collided with the solid reality of the door even as the young ghost vanished through it, sending the tray and everything on it crashing to the floor inside Scheherazade's room.?

Re: Port Vega: Seizing the Moment (Kites, Gen)
(Gen)
?
"Yeah, kind of," Gen replied between kisses.? "We are experimenting, after all.? You with me, me with you.? Finding out what it's all about." The androgyne giggled suddenly.? "My creators will be seriously upset that they didn't get to monitor and record this.? For the 'valuable data', of course."??
?
He gasped in surprise as Kites reached between them and pumped their stiff cocks together, at the same time nudging Gen forward with his knees, pressing them even closer together.??
?
"I want you too, Kites," Gen said huskily, pressing down with his hips so that their erections rubbed even harder against each other as their chests did as well.? His face hovered just above his lover's as they gazed into each other's eyes.? "I want to do everything with you, and to be yours as much as one can physically belong to someone.? I'm feeling so many things right now that it's hard to sort through all of them."? He cocked his head to the side in thought for a moment, then gave the other boy a quick kiss on the lips, murmuring "But I think I know what I want to do first."??
?
The androgyne began kissing the winged youth slowly and gently, short kisses but never in the same spot, gradually scooting downwards on the bed so that his mouth was moving down Kites' face to his neck, then to his chest.? Gen lavished attention on the other boy's nipples for a long moment, but then kept on moving further down, kissing down his belly.? As he neared his goal, the androgyne grasped Kites' now very urgent erection in his fingers, stroking the shaft teasingly up and down, letting his touch linger on the swollen glans which was already beginning to leak precum.?
?
Gen glanced up at Kites' face as if asking permission, but then didn't wait for an answer as he lowered his open mouth over his lover's shaft, closing his lips around it.? The androgyne made a sound of pure pleasure as his tongue began swirling around Kites' cockhead, taking more of the other youth's cock in until his nose was buried in the winged youth's pubic bush, drinking in the scent of his arousal.
[Kites]
"Good.? Let them be upset.? You're not theirs anymore.? You're mine...my experiment," Kites breathed, letting out an involuntary moan, shutting his eyes for a moment as Gen moved closer.? They flared open once he felt his lover's breath settle over his face, gazing back with the same intensity that he was receiving.? That kiss, as quick as it was before the androgyne moved on, still brought fire to his face, causing the color on his cheeks to glow even brighter as the rest of his body followed.? "It's not just your body that I want, Gen, it's also your hea-aaah!"
The last word that left his lips cause him to cry out, letting loose an embarrassing squeal as his partner reached his chest.? His back arched in response, feeling a jolt of electricity skitter down his spine in response to each touch and tweak of Gen's hands, letting out small, pitiful whimpers as he bit his lips in an effort to try and stamp out such unseemly mewlings.? Kites' fingers scraped against the floor, nails dragging along the carpet as his stomach receded at his lover's heated kiss and he shifted.? He was already panting, his chest rising and falling as he lifted his head, trying to sit up so he could watch what Gen was doing, but then his hands went there and then his mouth, and Kites fell back down as his mouth opened and he let out a sinfully wanton moan.
The winged youth's eyes widened, clapping a hand over his mouth as he whimpered again.? Gen's mouth was hot, his tongue wonderfully textured and rubbing up against the underside of his shaft.? Was it so wrong to focus on such inane details?? It's not like they haven't done this before, so why did it feel so different this time?? How come Kites was reduced to such a pile of whimpering flesh beneath his lover's touch.
"I...that feels so good, Gen...so good that I can't stand it," he moaned again, shutting his eyes.

Re: Raconteur City: The Turning (Pyp, Kutsuki, NPC Nicolas)
(Nicolas)
?
As Nicolas walked he listened to Suki speaking to himself. He smiled as he heard the running feet coming and then was elated that the lad decided to take his hand versus demanding the other way around. "Well, are you not one of those filthy human bodies yourself? What is so wrong with wanting to dance in a crowd. It can be enlightening in the right setting and with the right type of people around." Nicolas said as he gave Suki another wink. "As I said, I am Nicolas, but some call me Nico. I still want to call you Suki, but Kutsuki it will be if that is what you prefer. Don't want to upset my new friend before we get to know each other better." They rounded a corner and there was a small whole in the wall place. There was a painted sign of a dragon above it and the words, The Dragon's Claw, in cursive?underneath. "And we have arrived. Listen, you can hear the bass of the music, but nothing else." He paused their walking and let Suki listen. Sure enough the place must be well insulated or something for one could not make out that there was a club there at all outside of the sign. "Ready? And I will do my best to keep you from being touched by any of them filthy human bodies."
?
?
Pyp made a note of what he was seeing through his summoner's eyes.? The name of the street. What it looked like.? Where the entrance to the club was.? It wouldn't be hard to find if the need arose.? Pyp had to admit that this Nicholas guy was smooth and seemed to be having no trouble manipulating Kutsuki into doing what he wanted.? His summoner must be seriously in need of a good fuck to be so easily led around like this.? Not to mention naive, a point which he'd tried to make with Kutsuki a number of times, without success.? The white-haired youth was an arrogant little sod not inclined to listen to others, even to a demon from Hell itself who'd been around far longer than him.? He wonder how Kutsuki would handle being in a small club space filled from wall to wall with "filthy human bodies" which the Dragon's Claw showed every sign of being.? He snickered and sipped at his drink as he continued to watch and listen.
[Kutsuki]
"Me?? Haha, no.? Absolutely not.? I am much better than they are, and certainly not filthy," Kutsuki said with pride, tilting his chin up as he looked to Nicholas.? He did have to bite his tongue back on the inhuman part.? Why should he have to reveal anything about himself in the first place?? It's not like Nicholas was very forthcoming with his own identity, having just as deftly avoided the real reason why Kutsuki asked who he was.? Even if he revealed that he was...tainted, it's not like Nicholas would even understand.? He as quite sure that the older man would probably even think he was crazy.? "And I know you're Nicholas, but that's not answering my question.? What do you prefer anyway?? Shall I call you Nico also?"
Before he realized, however, they were already at the entrance to the club.? One wouldn't have known that was anything but a non-descript door build into a faded brick facade had the name of the place not been emblazoned in bright, fluorescent?pink with white highlights.? Indeed, as he stood deathly still and listened, he could hear the heavy beat of music escaping through the cracks in the wall.? Had this been any other time, not the stark of the night like it was now, the existence of this place would be lost in the hustle and bustle of the city.
"R-ready," Kutsuki trembled, though he was sure that that was a lie of the century.? He could already feel that sickening feeling start to rise up, making his skin crawl, but when he looked at Nicholas, that feeling was immediately stamped down and his cheeks colored.? He cleared his throat, coughing into the fist of his other hand and this time spoke with a more assured tone.? "I mean I'm more than ready.? Take me inside."

Re: Seeking an Audience with the Prince. [Prince of Paris, Vincent,]
(Prince Jean-Pierre and Lady Jacqueline) As the Prince listened his expression was unreadable. When Vincent was done he asked. ¡°A few questions Vincent. How did she come to be in your possession? What do you plan to do with her now that you have her back within your possession and is this Lord Draven aware that you have her in your possession?¡±
(Vincent) "She was taken when a party was gathered for trading. I kept her when I realized who she was instead of sending her off to be sold." With a shrug, "for now, keep her until she has her children. After that, I haven't decided, but Chantel and I will be raising the children. As for Lord Draven, I do not know if he knows or not. She claims he has abandoned?her. But if he comes calling I am prepared to kill him." And that last part was said without smile or any hint of joking. He was planning on killing Mr. Draven Phillips and would succeed in this plan.
