Re: Raconteur City: The Hunted (Hollywood/Diego, Ariein, shooter, open)

 

(Ari, Shooter)
Ariein moved to follow Hollywood. Her until moved like a well-oiled machine so he tried his best to stay out of their way. "Is the plan to kill, maim or disarm? Figured I asked just so we can be on the same page." He said cocking his gun.?

The shooter went down, The goal was to get to the street. Once on the street, they could take off into the shadows. Lucky the werewolf had stop following that was good. But it made them wonder if there was something else lurking and waiting.

(Hollywood/Diego)
"As I said before, depends on the shooter and if they are willing to talk. Won't know until we catch up to them." Hollywood said in response to the question. "I would prefer to capture and disarm versus kill and maiming has to play a roll, so be it." She tapped on the mic to communicate to the team where the shooter was an which direction they were heading.

Diego made his way to one of the rooms and went through to the windows. Once there he stepped outside onto the fire escape, then measured the distance to the ground. Once sure he could drop without hurting himself, he climbed up onto the railing, then dropped to the ground below. He knew where the stair well excited and made his wait outside the door. If the shooter continued to the street level it was the only way for them to get out.

(Khadashee)
"I promise. Cross my heart. No funny stuff," She said with a smile. "I definitely will do that. I am sure Mickey will be a great resource while I am here." Khadashee?didn't have the stomach capacity to eat all her food, but she ate as much as she could. "That was indeed lovely. I love Cookie's fish, this was very nice." She said wiping her mouth. "I am in the mood for something sweet.? Shall we get dessert? I would love a slice of this cobbler I have heard so much about."

(Draven)
"I think that can be arranged." Draven said as he waved over one of the serving wenches. "We would love some of Mickey's great cobbler. What flavor is todays?" He asked. "Very good, and today's is peach." With a smile the girl bounded off to bring them the cobbler, carrying off their dishes from the table at the same time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the cobbler was finished and their bill taken care of, Draven offered Khada his hand to stand. "Now, off to see some furniture I think. Perhaps you would like to purchase some items that fit your tastes for our home. I do not have a problem with making small changes, my love."

Re: Port Vega: The Academy of the Extraordinarily Gifted (Mia, Del, Roddy, NPC Donny, open)

 

(Roddy)
Roddy made a face at the restrictions but then shrugged.? "Okay, I'll be a good boy.? No smoking where it might blow into the building and no butts on the ground."? He glanced over at a set of French doors that led outside.? "The practice field is that way, yes?"? He started to open the door but stopped and looked back to Misty.? "Oh, uh what's this guy's mutant power?? And what does he look like?? In case he's not the only one out there."

(Misty)
Misty gave Roddy a smile, "he will be the only one there...he always is this time of day. And look for the almost too large for his age guy and you will find him." With that Misty left the room, but before she stepped out, "and remember, I am just a phone call away. Welcome to the Academy." (Exit Misty)

(NPC Donny)
Donny was moving through his defensive positions. He liked to work out in the sunlight instead of the little room that had been designated the gym. He hoped that Ms. Del and Ms. Mia would be building an actual gym soon. But the sunlight helped him with his strength which was his ability after all. He had finished his weight lifting and his sparing moves. He wished there was someone who could handled his punches to have someone he could actually spar with.

(Del)

"Well, we've been pretty lucky so far.? Just getting this place built in the first place took a good chunk of luck.? And the fact that no one's showed up with protest signs or leaving hate-graffiti on our walls is another bit of luck."? Del chewed on her lip.? "I was kind of worried that something like that would happen.? It has in other towns."? She smiled back at Mia.? "Here's hoping your father comes up with a prospect or two.? A celebrity that people already like would be a super drawing card."

(Mia)
"True we have been lucky in those regards. But we also reside in a much smaller town...or rather on the outskirts of it. I won't hold my breath on a celebrity, but some one that is known would be a good thing. I will give my father a call and see. What are you going to do in the mean time?"

Re: Whispers in the Dark - Scheherazade, Callum

 

"I... I didn't _see_ anything," Braxton said, shuddering as he looked around the doorway, into the room and just behind him, feeling anxious. "But I sure as hell _felt_ something.? Like a freezing wind, except that this passed right through me.? I swear, Sam, there's something not right about this place.? I keep... hearing things, when there's nothing there.? Sometimes I think I see things, but when I look again it's like it's just ducked around the corner and I just missed it."

?

"And weird stuff keeps happening.? One day my boots went missing, but the next morning I found them sitting outside my door, all nice and polished."? He looked to Scheherezade questioningly.? "Has anything like that happened to you?"

?

Scheherazade

Sam knelt by Braxton. "Are you okay? You look like you have seen a ghost."

When he began to explain she smiled. "There are servants here love. Of course, your boots would go missing. Jaimie would take them and clean them and bring them back in the morning. It's the formality of the place. That goes with the castle atmosphere. And no nothing strange. The pipes have issues sometimes. But nothing really out of the ordinary. Are you sure you are okay? I was going to go for a walk. How about you stay here and get some rest? I know will be leaving early in the morning."

She stepped in to kiss his lips softly.?

"Old, old, who you calling old. And I was going to find her later, have drink or two and then finish her off. That was a waste of a perfectly good meal."

"So, when should we send the invite to the Prince for a grand tour of our business, dear sister?"

Tori shrugged at the perfectly good meal comment. "Yes...old. Brother that is such a convoluted way to kill someone.
