<John Merriweather>
??? ¡°Miss Merrick,¡± John began, ¡°we have covered each other¡¯s backs in heavy fighting, both on this plane and in the aether. Have we not, together, weathered the worst of storms and trials? We have shared the winds and the sea, and enjoyed their bounty. We are shipmates, both bound to our ship and Captain. Was it not myself that began your training in the sword? Defended you against demons? Dear girl, if anything I have done or said brings you pain I too am hurt. I had no idea that your situation pained you so greatly, perhaps because this is the first time we¡¯ve been becalmed long enough for you to air your thoughts and sorrows. I shall try to be a better listener.¡±
??? He took a sip of his ale. ¡°This is quite good,¡± he commented. ¡°As to what I am thinking, well, the half of it is done. We have found yourself, and you are well. As to the other part, well, I propose we locate the source of the powerful magics and make some sort of contact. Perhaps determine what it is, though from my experience it seems to be a bound elemental.¡± He looked from Bonnie to Sara, ¡°do either of you know of such a being?¡±
(Kir)
? ?Kir listened to Sara and John. She herself had not ties to Sara yet she felt for her. She could see that the woman had decided to except John's apology. When he finally told Sara the reason that they were here, Kir glanced towards the door then back to Sara and Bonnie. "I can see the flow of magic here though it is not the same as it is in the other world. I can not track it like I would have been able to before. It is very confusing for me. I am somewhat afraid that if I tried to track it. I would get us lost. We need your help."?
(Sara Merrick)
While Sara listened to John's explanation, she just didn't know if it made as much sense to her as he wanted it too. It was all too neat and sounded just to tidy. The one thing she knew for sure was he was looking for the captain, and she just wasn't sure she was ready to give the captain up just yet.? She didn't think he was a malevolent as John was making him seem and she was sure if she could talk to him she could help him. It was then that Sara decided she needed to find the Captain herself. She looked to Bonnie then.?
"Bonnie since it seems like we have much to discuss. Can you please get us a bit of food."

Re: Port Vega: LIght and Wings (Raine and Kites)
[Raine]
?¡°Don¡¯t be shy.?
I like learning.? I wish to know
more about you and your friends?? I take
it this is where you come to think?¡±?
Being polite as he knew how to play very well, his brother Brandon was
master kiss ass extraordinaire.? He
learned a lot from pipsqueak.?
¡°So really tell me more about you.? How
are you liking it here so far?¡±? He
asked.? ¡°Any other abilities, besides the
obvious flight.? Can you carry anyone
with you?? Those are true magnificent
wings.¡±? He said looking Kites over part
of him wanted to reach out and touch them but that would be rude without
asking. ¡°Ahh so
you sucked at your first day out.? I
would say just apologize tell the boss man, admit what you did wrong and make
amends.? He likes when you take personal
accountability for your actions.? That is
his thing, not really into the touchy feelies.¡±?
Raine was saying from experience.
¡°Ahh interpersonals.? Hmm, yeah those can
present a problem.? You have to make sure
to keep work and private life separate mixing is a big no-no around here.¡±? He listened with a questioning
expression.? ¡°Don¡¯t know if you will ever
find out about the rest of your abilities, what do you mean?¡±? He stared at him feigning confusion.? ¡°Well does
this mean you are giving up?? You can¡¯t
give up, I mean you are here to train right, go to the powers that be tell them
that you want to train, that you want to be better and you are willing to do
anything to be all you can be.? But you
have say it and mean it!? If you ever
need someone to talk to just give me a call up here and I will come up and
visit with you or we can always meet somewhere and just chat.? Just don¡¯t tell anyone I don¡¯t wanna get you
into trouble or anything like that.¡±?
Raine said.
[Kites]
When Raine asked him about his thinking place, he had to shake his head.
"Well, no...I don't know.? I just didn't want to go too far.? Not really familiar with this city to go anywhere, really," Kites answered.? "The only other place I know of is the orphanage where I was raised.? Once I was old enough, I left to try and do something with myself.? Flew to the city and that's where I met Chord.? Said he was gathering a team of super heroes and offered me a place, so I decided to join."? He turned towards the mountains, looking to the pine trees at the top.? Just over the edge and down the valley was where the church orphanage was nestled.? To tell the truth, he was a bit nostalgic about that place, now especially.
"Um...I haven't been here for very long, a week at the most, I think...so not really enough to find out what else I can do," he replied, pivoting back to face Raine.? He thought about what the man said, about going back and apologizing.? Being responsible for oneself and one's own actions.? Why did he come here?? What did Chord take him under his wings for?? He left because he wanted to strike out on his own and find his parents, to find his own place in the world.? The city was the next closest thing to start his search and that's where he met the man of the hour.? Chord warned him about the city folk not being too accepting of those different than them, offered him a shelter and he did what with it?? Let his libido get the better of him and cavort around, flirting his way up and down the gauntlet and made a mockery of the very reason why he was there.? His brows furrowed, arms crossed as he closed his eyes.? If he wanted to show that he was worth more than this, then Raine was right.? What kind of a person would he be if he just turned tail and flew back to the nest from which he leapt?
"You're right, Raine.? I made a mistake.? Though I do not want to give up what I gained in here," Kites said, pointing to his chest, then to his head.? "I also don't want to lose what I could be up there.? Perhaps there is a way I could do both?? I just have never felt like this before.? My mind and my heart are at odds with each other."? Strangely, it felt somewhat therapeutic to talk to Raine.? The man was friendly, unassuming, and didn't seem to judge him.? More so than anything, he had some words of encouragement which is just what he needed to hear but he wasn't quite there yet.? He felt like he needed more.? He was hungry for some reassurance.
"You just mentioned giving you a call if I need to talk, but I don't really have a way to contact you," he said sheepishly, bowing down his head a bit.? "I um...not yet...I don't have a phone yet.? Where I come from the only phone was connected by a cord to the wall.? Is this something that I can get here, or perhaps purchase?? Oh, but I don't really have any money...? Maybe you and I can pick out a time and day to just meet up here?? Would that work?"? He was hopeful that Raine would agree to that.

Re: The Door Between Two Worlds [Roue and Rabbit] (closed)
(Rabbit)
"There m-might be others from this Midgard place you're from," Rabbit said, biting his lip. "But I wouldn' know for sure.? I n-never heard the, uhm, name before you told me about it. I could ask some of the o-others about it though, if'n you want me to."
The little vampire listened to Roue try to explain some of the basics about magic, but only looked kind of blank, clearly not understanding it.? He did flinch backwards though when the elf suddenly set a cloth napkin on fire, fire not being one of his (or any vampire's) favorite things. The other tricks Roue did were not as frightening, fortunately, and Rabbit watched with open curiosity, careful though to not sit too close. ?
"Wow," Rabbit murmured when the elf ended his little demonstration. Looking up at Roue once again, he was quiet for a moment before saying "Your eyes get really, uhm, pretty when you do that.? Is that like, you know, p-part of the magic?"
"How to I get b-blood?" the little vampire said, fidgeting uneasily on his stool.? "It, uhm, you know, depends.? On, like, where I am, and who I'm with.? It's b-better when it's with someone I know, and who kn-knows me and what I am.? But I cain' always c-count on that.? So sometimes I have to go, you know, out..." he nodded at what appeared to be a door on the other side of their corner of the club "...and f-find someone.? I... I kinda, uhm, you know, s-seduce them.? It makes it easier for me to, you know, feed if they're distracted by the s-sex 'n stuff goin' on.? And it makes the blood, you know..."? he looked like he'd be blushing except for the lack of any color rushing to his face "...t-taste better." ?
"I didn' kiss you 'cause.. 'cause you had me, you know, all w-worked up 'n aroused," he murmured, shrugging awkwardly.? "What that happens, my... my fangs kinda, you know, come out.? I was afraid of how you'd react if'n you say my fangs and you didn', you know, kn-know what I was."
[Roue]
Rabbit complimenting Roue didn't help bring the wizard's blush any more down, instead increasing it even more.? Once he stopped his magic display, the glow of his eyes faded and they returned to their typical azure blue, though much more toned down since their environment was quite dim.
"Th-thanks...the eye glowing part is part of the magic, yes, but it's only because I'm an elf," he explained, "But it's less magick-y than it just adds to the mysticism of my race, that's all..."? Sure being an elf gave him a one up on most magic users, there are plenty of human mages that he's met that could give him a run for his money, though it was something he's strived for most of his life.? He did notice that Rabbit's eyes glazed over at his explanation however, feeling like perhaps he was too high level on his description prior to his little show-and-tell.? However, he brushed those away, instead listening to Rabbit describe his own nature.
"Hmm, I would have to read up more on vampires then, as I'm not familiar with that type of race.? Were you born like this?" he earnestly asked, curious.? He tried to imagine what it would be like to be a vampire, having to rely on someone else's life force.? As chagrined as he was to admit, he's tasted blood before, his own, though it was unwillingly.? It tasted thick and salty, and gross, so how did someone like Rabbit thoroughly enjoyed it? ? "How does it taste.. to you, exactly?? Do...do you always have to seduce someone to feed on them?? Is that a requirement of being a vampire...?? Do they know you are seducing them?? Is that why I got so drunk?? I try to stay as far away from alcohol as possible..it makes me do things, very improper things."? There was that noble thing, coming out again.? Roue was still trying to piece last night together, but being drunk told him everything he needed to know without having to recall any of it, whether he could do it or not.? Though the more he rambled on, the more he realized he was getting bitter about it.? He didn't want to appear like he was promiscuous and that this was the typical him, nor did he want to allude to Rabbit possibly having taken advantage of him, but the bitter poison was still on his tongue.? His parents made sure of it.
"Um...forget I said anything.? I hope I didn't make you feel bad.? It's not like I didn't enjoy it..." he mumbled the last part, awkwardly rubbing his arms.? I just wish you kissed me anyway...? Wanting to switch topics, however, he decided to focus on something else.? "Please do ask if anyone from Midgard came through here...? I would be curious to know if there is more than one who came from my world, or if I am truly the first and only to discover this..."

Re: Port Vega: Gen at the Lighthouse
(Gen)
When Gen awoke, it was dark.? It took her a moment to orient herself, but the smell of the sea and the sounds of water and ships passing in the distance told her she was back in the lighthouse.? She sat up in the bed, hugging her knees.? It felt strange to be back in this place, as if she was waking up from a vivid but quite confusing dream.
The rumbling of her stomach reminded her that it had been a while since she'd last eaten. For ordinary people it might not have been long, but with her hyper-metabolism she burned up calories faster than ordinary people.? Food immediately became the first order of business.
Rising from the bed, she walked over to a cabinet the last occupants of the lighthouse had left behind them.? Tucked away under the bottom-most drawer was the money she'd stashed from her last snatch-and-grab from one of the Russian mob's bagmen.? She peeled off a handful of bills from a bundle and then stashed it away again.? More than enough, she thought as she slipped the bills into her pocket.? She looked down at her clothes, remembering that she was back in her old ones once again. Again, the strange feeling nipped at her, wondering how the previous couple of days seemed so different and so far away now.
The androgyne ascended to the light room and from there went out through the window onto the balcony ring.? The lights on the shore glittered enticingly and her stomach again rumbled a reminder of its needs.? Gen willed her wings to extend, perched on the balcony rail and then launched herself into the night sky.
It felt good to be flying once again, out in the open air of the harbor.? Her wings worked with a frenzied joy and she quickly darted towards the shore, the lights growing brighter and more numerous as she drew near.? A sudden craving for fried seafood hit her and she veered sharply rightward and down, remembering a shoreside diner that stayed open all night, run by a young chatty Greek man named Ari who served generous platters filled with perfectly delightful assortments of seafood.? Landing in a nearby alley, Gen shifted back into normal girl-mode, her wings quickly retracting into her body.? She then strolled over to where the light from Ari's Dockside spilled out onto the boardwalk.?
"Hi, Ari," she called out cheerfully as she slid onto a stool.
"Sly?" Ari said, raising a bushy eyebrow as he looked up at his customer.? His mouth quirked wryly.? "Long time no see, Sly.? Where you been, girl?"
"Oh, you know, just around," she said, shrugging casually as she looked up at the menu boards. "Trying to stay out of trouble."
"A full-time job in your case," Ari said, following her glance and looking back at her.? "The usual, I'm guessing?"
"That'd be really great," Gen said, spinning around on her stool.? "If I was any hungrier, I'd be halfway in your dumpster already with my butt hanging out over the side."
"Three king-size fisherman's platters with extra fries and hot sauce, coming up," Air said, turning around and pulling packs of shrimp, cod, scallops and clams out and setting them near the grill that was always hot and ready.? "And two 2-liter bottles of RC with plenty of ice."
She chatted amiably with the man while he worked, and soon had three steaming platters piled high with delicious-smelling fried seafood along with a huge basket of fries and two squirt bottles of hot sauce.? She mumbled a quick "Thanks" as she quickly dug in, forking her mouth full, chewing furiously and swallowing, moaning with pleasure as the food hit her stomach.? "So googf," she managed around mouthfuls as she continued to devour the first platter while already eying the second.? "You're the beft, Ari!"

"So let me make sure I am understanding because the more you speak the more confused I get. What you are telling me is that you treated me cruelly, rudely and meanly because you thought I had been taken over by some spirit but as your friend, as Miss Kir would have me to believe you see me as. And you decided to dismiss me." She blinked.
??? "I want to go on record as saying I think that is a horrible way to treat your friends. And being that you know how difficult it was for me to be a zombie the fact that you would bring that up so casually. I tell you John Merriweather, the way you are acting now. If I didn't know better I would say that it is in fact that you that have been possessed by an evil spirit." she said fighting back the tears of such a horrible experience.
??? She had lost her life then, having not being able to get back to her body in time and now she was trapped in this in between. Sara took a deep breath then. "Thank you Lady Kir for your kind words. I do appreciate your friendship. But I truly doubt worry if what Mr. Merriweather felt for me. Even if he apologizing for it now.

Re: Port Vega: Up On the Roof (Harrison, Mia, open)
(Harrison) Harrison listened closely to all that Mia had to say about
the team and what happened yesterday. As the young lady spoke, Harrison found
herself pleased with Mia observations. Mia was proving herself incredibly
reasonable, thoughtful, observant and insightful.? She was also showing just how ambitions she
was by expressing her desire to stay and be trained by Chord and herself.? Mia was smart. She knew what she wanted and
she was letting it be known that she was all in to get it.
Harrison nodded. ¡°Thank you so much for your insight. You
used the term interview. Do you feel like you are the only one who understood
that that was what these past two days were? Why do you think you were able to
be so objectionable? Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that
while everyone else was pairing up there was no one for you to pair up with?
Continually, what do you think about the rest of the team?
Brandon¡¯s ability to lead? Ireland as potential leader? And please Mia I would
like you to speak freely. Do not let my relationship with either Brandon or
Ireland stop you from giving me your free unadulterated thoughts as you see
them.¡±
(Mia) Mia blinked at the woman for a moment as she was a little surprised with the pairing
up question.? Then a relationship with
Brandon and Ireland?? ¡°Ms. Harrison, I do
not know anything about a relationship between you and the other two outside of
boss and employees.¡±? She was telling her
the truth, neither Brandon or Ireland ever mentioned anything in regards to
Harrison and them outside of employment.
¡°To begin with, the question about myself pairing up with
anyone has nothing to do with any of this.?
As to if the others felt it was an interview process, I have no
idea.? Nor to I know enough about any of
them to speak about them in regards to Brandon or Ireland and their ability to
lead, however, I will say that from watching Brandon try to lead, he was not
ready to be placed in that role.? As for
Ireland, I do not know her well enough or have seen her lead to make a reasonable
opinion about it.¡±
¡°As for my ability to be objectionable¡my family.? I was raised in a loving environment unlike
the others here.? My family owns the oil
companies in Allen Town and I was brought up to one day take over that business
even though I do not wish too.? And when
it comes to the rest of the team.? I do
not know them at all away from the time we spent together yesterday.? As I said before, they all need work and
training, especially if they are ever going to create this superhero team.? They all need to learn how to be socially
compatible with others and stop being horny teenagers.¡±? With that she let out a sigh and simply

He was getting used to eating with her not just drinking and having her drink from him again was welcomed as it made them more connected. ?¡°Fair enough.¡± ?He responded as he watched her drink.? He sat to eat as she went to the kitchen and came back. ?

He hated slavers with a passion, peddling women, kids a few males every now and then. ?¡°Is something wrong?¡±

I think you may have been given some wrong information.? They worked for me."? She took up her blood bag and drained it through the "straw", letting him process this sudden information.?

REPOST: Blood Bonds: Family Ties

However upon seeing the beautiful woman with the dark black hair, she knew this was Draven¡¯s mother. She found herself growing even more anxious under the woman¡¯s scrutiny. She stood quietly watching the two.
She smiled. And then a feeling a longing filled her soul. What would it be like to have grown up with a mother who would hold her and look upon her the way Draven¡¯s mother Serene looked at him right now.
When Draven introduced her, Anais curtsied. Draven¡¯s family was legendary, even to someone who was as sheltered as she was.

Serena gave Anais a smile and held her arms out, "Yes, my dear, it is."? Her embrace was warm and inviting, not at all what one would expect from someone so ancient.? After the embrace she turned to walk beside Anais and placed a gentle hand on the lady's back, "tell me Anais, is there anything you wish while you and Draven visit?"
Draven stepped behind the ladies and walked silently letting them chat with each other as they walked towards a gazebo in the rear of the garden.? The smell of jasmine filled the air and the night was peaceful as the moon rose on the horizon.

means by party or parties unknown.
?
Ordinarily the pookah
would simply have opened a portal that could allow them to travel directly to
the Crossing. But in order to do that, he would have had to have actually been
there at least once, which he never had.? Failing that, he might have been
able to create a portal if he had a photo or a painting or even a good hand
drawing of the scene, but it was unlikely that a place like Miller's Crossing
had ever been deemed worth the effort of any of those things.

skirting around the issue, suddenly talking about demons, witches, etc.?
Who the hell cared about Flynn changing into a horse?? At this point, it
was obvious that none of them were alien to the things that went bump into the

man."? Not himself who had seen one too many demons, half of them
being his bounties whose numerous rewards he has collected by sending back into
whatever hell that birthed them.? He was quite sure that Chase wasn't a
greenhorn himself, the way his eyes looked into back at Sicilien's in that
brief moment when they were surrounded.? He'd bet a shiny gold bar that
the guardian of this mysterious woman hid a beast of his own underneath that
burnished skin.

When Callie stood up

into a snore.? This oughta to be good, he told himself, as he waited to
see what would happen next.? He couldn't resist the drama brewing, even at

Chase was watching this group as he moved to get dressed

He didn¡¯t want to kidnap her but she was right and they
needed her to get where they needed to go to make this truly some type of

Crossing with their path being constantly blocked or misdirected by some arcane
means by party or parties unknown.
?
Ordinarily the pookah
would simply have opened a portal that could allow them to travel directly to
the Crossing. But in order to do that, he would have had to have actually been
there at least once, which he never had.? Failing that, he might have been
able to create a portal if he had a photo or a painting or even a good hand
drawing of the scene, but it was unlikely that a place like Miller's Crossing
had ever been deemed worth the effort of any of those things.
?
He hoped one of the
others could come up with something and would wake him if and when they
did.? Staying put amid howling possessed townfolk without a source of
unbespelled water was not attractive as an option.
?
[Sicilien]
?
Chase seemed to be
skirting around the issue, suddenly talking about demons, witches, etc.?
Who the hell cared about Flynn changing into a horse?? At this point, it
was obvious that none of them were alien to the things that went bump into the
night.? Not Callie whose partner was a shapeshifting "medicine
man."? Not himself who had seen one too many demons, half of them
being his bounties whose numerous rewards he has collected by sending back into
whatever hell that birthed them.? He was quite sure that Chase wasn't a
greenhorn himself, the way his eyes looked into back at Sicilien's in that
brief moment when they were surrounded.? He'd bet a shiny gold bar that
the guardian of this mysterious woman hid a beast of his own underneath that
burnished skin.
?
When Callie stood up
and confronted the female enigma, he snorted in response, quickly turning it
into a snore.? This oughta to be good, he told himself, as he waited to
see what would happen next.? He couldn't resist the drama brewing, even at
the behest of himself.
?
[Chase]
Chase was watching this group as he moved to get dressed
again.? He hated shredding his clothes
when he changed.? It was something about
going through the process.? He was moving
through to get dress and moved to try to scavenge the rest of what was
available.? He moved around but still
kept his eye on Etienne to make sure she didn¡¯t rabbit yet again.
He didn¡¯t want to kidnap her but she was right and they
needed her to get where they needed to go to make this truly some type of
situation that they needed all of them in order to be free of what ever fresh hell
this was turning out to be.
He knew there was something different about the rest of his companions for
sure.? Particularly the one called
Flynn.? He wasn¡¯t sure he felt any more
comfort at revealing what he was but he knew it was going to come up and out
eventually.?
¡°Are we ready for transport?¡±? He asked
as he was definitely looking for the opportunity to get them out of the city
and to their destination quickly.

Re: REPOST: New beginnings (Katya and Ashton)
?(Ashton) He could see she was in a mood, but he didn't laugh or chuckle as that might aggravate her more. "It was work my heart. Did I wake you with my shower?" He asked thinking he wanted to spend time with her but she was on her side of the bed and he wasn't exactly sure what he might have done wrong...his job didn't change he was still a hunter. "I did some scouting, some exploring and dealt with a few issues. Why baby? What's wrong?" He was turning his head to the side as seems they had gone from good to another different layer. She was drinking and he could think of something else to feed her but now here they were. (Katya) Katya gave Ashton a smile. "No, your shower didn't wake me. I just wanted to go for a morning run and woke as you got up." She took a few sips of her drink. She saw his face and gave him another smile, "I think you forget that I really don't consume food as often as someone who doesn't drink blood for a living. Sorry, it does smell good. Just not in the mood for it." She went to a small fridge next to the main one and got out a blood bag, then took a seat at the table. She had forgotten briefly that he knew what she was and she could partake of a blood bag in front of him. The bourbon was forgotten. What's wrong...she thought about the question. "Were you by the east docks last night?" (Ashton) ?Ashton was watching her.? They had been together long enough that he could read her a little bit things had been a bit different but they always fell back into that place of love and devotion cause he truly did love her.? She was the one good piece of his life that still remained. He was getting used to eating with her not just drinking and having her drink from him again was welcomed as it made them more connected. ?¡°Fair enough.¡± ?He responded as he watched her drink.? He sat to eat as she went to the kitchen and came back. ? He wasn¡¯t so blinded by her beauty that he didn¡¯t know when something was bothering her.? Their life was clearly more than the physical between them.? But she was reaching for something with her question. ?¡°Yeah, I was why?¡± ?He had been dealing with a few¡shippers and slavers.? It was him doing what he did and he was thinking he had dealt with them pretty nicely all things considered.? He hated slavers with a passion, peddling women, kids a few males every now and then. ?¡°Is something wrong?¡± Tag: Katya

Re: The Door Between Two Worlds [Roue and Rabbit] (closed)
[Roue]
"Wait, do you mean I'm the first person that came through a door in Midgard that you know of?" Roue asked incredulously, staring back at his host with wide eyes.? "A-are you saying that there could be others from my world here?? Or was I the first to step through a door, any door, into this place?"? He wanted, no, needed to get that clarification.? Just thinking about the possibility of Midgardians having found this place and left his world...perhaps to never come back, perhaps to return only much wiser and more learned about the ways of the universe was electrifying.? The world that he knew, as small as it has seemed before, now just had expanded tenfold and every answer that he got bore two more questions in its wake.? But he wanted to show off too, to show Rabbit what he was capable of so when the smaller..."vampire"...asked him about it, he couldn't hold back.
"Magic, yes...? Those who have shown the aptitude for elemental control are typically sent to the mage academy, myself included.? Though being an elf gives me a one-up on most beginners in this craft.? Our race is naturally attuned to this chaotic energy, and studying it further allows us to hone this so that we can shape the world to our will," Roue explained, looking back at his table guest.? "However, whether magic can be weaved depends on the concentration of chaos around you.? Very little of it means not much can be done...there could be places with magical starvation, natural or artificial.? This place seems to be rich in it, though.? I can feel it.? The fact that this exists between worlds as you explained is a testament to that."
Without further adieu, Roue grabbed hold of the napkin that the waitress left behind with his waters.? His eyes began to glow with a soft blue hue as he concentrated upon the corner of the cloth.? At first, the tip began to smoke as the edges slowly turned black, but then shortly after a flame sparked to life, eating at the fraying fibers around it.? Placing it into an empty cup, he left the fire continue to consume its host as he freed his hands, pointing his index fingers at each other.? In a split second, a little zap of static electricity arched between his fingers and disappeared, leaving a slightly tingling feeling behind.? Looking around, he tried to find something with which he could demonstrate the earth powers, spotting a piece of stray fruit peel, orange from the looks of it, which he bent down and picked up.? He placed it upon the table and placed his hands atop it.? He clenched his jaw then moved his hands away, revealing that the previously colorful peel now has turned gray and ashen, stiff as a board when he took it into his hands and easily broke into halves when he applied some pressure.? Lastly, the elf took hold of a cup of water, taking a sip to cleanse his parched throat.? Right before he put it down, however, he draw his right hand over his mouth and as he parted his lips, he let loose a quick breath of arctic air upon the surface of the drink as it suddenly turned translucent, opaque as the effect cascaded down until the liquid had completely frozen solid.? Placing the cup onto the table with a clink, he pushed it towards Rabbit so that he could see the proof of it himself.
"I wouldn't say you are not important, Rabbit.? You are able to exist in this in-between world, are you not?? We all have our place in the world, even me, even if I don't belong," he said the last part a bit bitterly, looking away for a second.? "But I am quite curious about you.? You say you need blood to survive...how do you get it?? Do you have willing participants...or do you partake much like you did with me?"? Internally, he had to admit that he suddenly felt inflamed about thinking that, but it was not place.? Not with someone whom he's just barely met.? It was inappropriate and he wasn't going to say a bit about that.? "Is that...is that why you refused to kiss me...at that time?? Because you could've bitten me?"? His own cheeks flushed this time, but he had to know.
(Rabbit)
"There m-might be others from this Midgard place you're from," Rabbit said, biting his lip. "But I wouldn' know for sure.? I n-never heard the, uhm, name before you told me about it. I could ask some of the o-others about it though, if'n you want me to."
The little vampire listened to Roue try to explain some of the basics about magic, but only looked kind of blank, clearly not understanding it.? He did flinch backwards though when the elf suddenly set a cloth napkin on fire, fire not being one of his (or any vampire's) favorite things. The other tricks Roue did were not as frightening, fortunately, and Rabbit watched with open curiosity, careful though to not sit too close. ?
"Wow," Rabbit murmured when the elf ended his little demonstration. Looking up at Roue once again, he was quiet for a moment before saying "Your eyes get really, uhm, pretty when you do that.? Is that like, you know, p-part of the magic?"
"How to I get b-blood?" the little vampire said, fidgeting uneasily on his stool.? "It, uhm, you know, depends.? On, like, where I am, and who I'm with.? It's b-better when it's with someone I know, and who kn-knows me and what I am.? But I cain' always c-count on that.? So sometimes I have to go, you know, out..." he nodded at what appeared to be a door on the other side of their corner of the club "...and f-find someone.? I... I kinda, uhm, you know, s-seduce them.? It makes it easier for me to, you know, feed if they're distracted by the s-sex 'n stuff goin' on.? And it makes the blood, you know..."? he looked like he'd be blushing except for the lack of any color rushing to his face "...t-taste better." ?
"I didn' kiss you 'cause.. 'cause you had me, you know, all w-worked up 'n aroused," he murmured, shrugging awkwardly.? "What that happens, my... my fangs kinda, you know, come out.? I was afraid of how you'd react if'n you say my fangs and you didn', you know, kn-know what I was."

Re: Port Vega: What Happens Next
(Chord)
?
At Kat¡¯s words, Chord smiled then came to walk around to the other side of the desk. He perched on the edge and said?
?
¡°First I want to tell you thank you for saying that. I really appreciate that. I want to reassure you did not screwed up. None of you did. As I expressed to you all, yesterday¡®s exercise was twofold.? One, to build camaraderie between team and two to assess your skills. It was supposed to be hard. Harrison designed exercise? to exert the maximum about of stress and pressure on the team. Her theory is the test is design to weed out the diamonds from the cubic zirconia. As you know both stones are made the exact same way but only one is considered a precious stone.
?
¡°And I¡¯m inclined to agree. It¡¯s suppose to feel like the hardest thing you ever done.? And please understand we never had the expectation for perfection just professionalism.
?
¡°My explanation yesterday might not have been clearly understood especially since yesterday emotions were on high on all our parts. As team mentor, my apology. I take full responsibility for that.?
?
¡°My intention for today was to get an understanding of the mindset of the team and your ability to trust the direction of myself and Harrison even even if you don¡¯t completely agree and if was possible to have a salvageable working relationship. I take full responsibility for the unfortunate fact that neither the former or the later seemed possible.
?
¡°I do want to let you know that what I saw was impressive. You all seemed to have a knack for this work. You abilities during the obstacle course Kat showed that you have a very bright future ahead of you if you decided to continue with this kind of work. I just implore you, do not try to do it on your own. It¡¯s dangerous. Please get some formal training. Promise me that if you continue you will do so.¡± He said leveling her with a stern look.
?
As for Brandon is concern, he is a grown man. I placed no prerequisites for caveats on his love life. What you to do in your private life is your business and you both have my blessing if you want to explore this relationship. just keep in mind that I¡¯m the dad. I¡¯m easy. it is his mother and his sister that you may have to negotiate¡± he said with a wink.
(Kat)
? ?Kat listened as Chord explained his thoughts on what she said and on the past two days. She grinned at he said that he holds no prerequisites for caveats on Brandons love life and that he gave his blessing. "I appreciate that you let Brandon chose who he wants in his life as a love interest. It also warms my heart that you have given your blessing. It really does mean a lot to me." He could hear the sincerity in her voice. "I would like to talk with Harrison about Brandon ad how I feel. I want her to know that I am not just a or night stand."
? ?She leaned forward a little. "I want to continue. It has been a long time since I felt like I could accomplish more in my life. More than what I am doing now." She let out a small sigh as she looked down in her lap briefly. She looked back up at Chord. "I know that the program is done. But is there a way for me to train? I have the means to create something similar to your training room but no where near as sophisticated. If I could stay, possibly use the training rooms? I want to get better. I want to help others. (pause) I am just unsure on how to go about it."

Re: Port Vega: LIght and Wings (Raine and Kites)

[Kites]
?
Kites noticed how the man who
introduced himself as Raine shook his hand just as firmly.? However unlike
his own gesture, his grip felt confident and self-assured, the complete and
total opposite of how he was feeling in this moment.? When Raine guessed
at his bird species, however, he couldn't help but chuckle a little, hiding his
smile behind a fist, using it as an excuse to cough and clear his throat.
?
"It was a good guess, but
no.? Completely different avian family," Kites responded, shaking his
head.? "My species is a swallow kite...accipitriformes order,
accipitridae family."? When he realized just how nerdy he sounded, he
clammed up, feeling his cheeks flush with color.? This man must've thought
he was a complete and total dweeb, but when he looked back up at him, Raine
didn't seem to be sneering or looking back at him in disgust.? Instead,
his expression was one of calmness and he seemed to have a genuine smile so
perhaps he was being too judgemental here.? So when the man indicated that
he was one of the workers here, Kites didn't question it.? He would be a a
complete fool if he had revealed he didn't realize there was others here
besides his fledgling team, having been so consumed with Gen and nothing but.
?
"Um, well...today...no, that
was yesterday, we were just doing our first training test, but we didn't
exactly perform to expectations.? In fact, it was a miserable
failure," he answered to Raine's question on what was dampened his
spirits.? It's not like Kites was hiding, or at least able to hide, his
feelings.? His demeanor was clear for the whole world to see.?
"I'm not yet sure what all I can do...maybe this was test was meant to
show me that, but I was too focused on someone...um, something else.? I
mean besides my flight I have my strength.? I can lift pretty heavy stuff
and I can take a punch, but that's about it...maybe I'm worth more than that,
but I don't know if I'll ever get a chance to find out."? He looked
away, back towards the city as he crossed his arms and sighed.? He needed
to do better than this, he needed to not give up like he was given up.? He
knew that, but right now, his mind was in turmoil.
?
?
?
?¡°Don¡¯t be shy.?
I like learning.? I wish to know
more about you and your friends?? I take
it this is where you come to think?¡±?
Being polite as he knew how to play very well, his brother Brandon was
master kiss ass extraordinaire.? He
learned a lot from pipsqueak.?
¡°So really tell me more about you.? How
are you liking it here so far?¡±? He
asked.? ¡°Any other abilities, besides the
obvious flight.? Can you carry anyone
with you?? Those are true magnificent
wings.¡±? He said looking Kites over part
of him wanted to reach out and touch them but that would be rude without
asking.
¡°Ahh so
you sucked at your first day out.? I
would say just apologize tell the boss man, admit what you did wrong and make
amends.? He likes when you take personal
accountability for your actions.? That is
his thing, not really into the touchy feelies.¡±?
Raine was saying from experience.
¡°Ahh interpersonals.? Hmm, yeah those can
present a problem.? You have to make sure
to keep work and private life separate mixing is a big no-no around here.¡±? He listened with a questioning
expression.? ¡°Don¡¯t know if you will ever
find out about the rest of your abilities, what do you mean?¡±? He stared at him feigning confusion.?
¡°Well does
this mean you are giving up?? You can¡¯t
give up, I mean you are here to train right, go to the powers that be tell them
that you want to train, that you want to be better and you are willing to do
anything to be all you can be.? But you
have say it and mean it!? If you ever
need someone to talk to just give me a call up here and I will come up and
visit with you or we can always meet somewhere and just chat.? Just don¡¯t tell anyone I don¡¯t wanna get you
into trouble or anything like that.¡±?

Re: What Lies in the Heart. Mikayla/The Dragon

¡°Thank you Angus. You presence is comforting.¡± She said letting go of his hand and beginning to pace. ¡°To be honest, I think he is wrong. I am not magical in nature. I have never done anything magical in my life. I do not know why he began to change. I think there was some sort of mistake. Doing this... I...I feel like if I get this wrong I will hurt him more or worst I do not want to do that.¡±
She sighed coming to stop her pacing before the book. Slowly she ran her hand over it. Feeling the leather under her fingertips. ?it felt electric. Looking up at the man before her she said ¡°Do you think this is wise Angus. For me to do this?¡±
(Angus)
"I trust the Master, mistress," Angus said simply.? "I do not think he would have asked this of you if he did not truly believe you have the ability."? Watching her run her fingers cover the book, he looked thoughtful. "I know almost nothing about the ways of magic, but the Master did try to explain some things about it to me. He said that it can be like a hot coal buried beneath the ash in a hearth seemingly cold.? But all it takes is for the right breath of wind to come along, clear away the ash, and fan it to life. He must believe that that spark exists within you, mistress.? And there is, of course, the evidence in the unfortunate mishap that transpired earlier."
"Is it wise, mistress?"? The servant scratched at his beard for a moment.? "I think the Master knows the risks. Has good reason to, actually.? But it seems to me that he trusts you, at least enough to risk it again."? He looked directly into Mikayla's eyes.? "I know not if it's wise, but I do know that it's necessary.? Otherwise the Master must stay a dragon, and the other---" he stopped suddenly, looking as if he had been about to say something but realized he shouldn't "...and he doesn't want that. Not at all, mistress."

Re: Whispers in the Dark - Scheherazade, Callum

Sam smiled. ¡°Jaimie is not too happy with me now so I doubt he would want to help me with anything. I will give him some time to cool off. He did save my life the other night so maybe he and I share a bond that will allow him to forgive me...or at the very least understand that I am the rudeness is never the answer and gentle scolding of him was to help him understand that for someone who is all about propriety, being rude to the hostess guess is never a good thing.¡±
¡°Well I do not know if fate favored her. All I know is that she married into a wealth family. And somehow she is my grandmother on my mother¡¯s side. I actually have no idea what her life was like. I hope it was indeed good. I can only imagine what it must be like to be in a new place all alone. Attempting to navigate a new world. I At least I have my friends. And you have all been so nice to me.¡±
When he turned to face her she stopped and turned to him. There was something about him that felt so familiar. So comforting. She smiled at his words, her own hand reaching up to touch his cheek. ¡°Thank you. Callum. It is good to be home.¡±
(Callum)
"Ah'll have a word with the lad," Callum said, looking up again.? "Ah'm sure he was not meaning to be disrespectful.? It's just... Jaimie has a strong attachment to the castle. And to the old ways it represents.? He tends to be very protective of both."? His mouth quirked a little as he added "And of you as well, though it may not have seemed like it. Give him a chance to serve and ah believe he will not disappoint you."
His eyes grew wide when Scheherezade's fingers touched his cheek.? And he _felt_ it!? A surge of unexpected possibilities filled his heart at this apparent confirmation of his ability to touch her without passing through her.? He had never been able to do that with anyone else before.? Truly this young American woman was, somehow, the re-embodiment of his Arowyn.? It was the only explanation.
"Shall... shall we continue our walk?" the laird managed finally, offering his arm in a courtly manner.? "There is much still to be seen, and it would be mah honor to show you."

After the embrace she turned to walk beside Anais and placed a gentle hand on the lady's back, "tell me Anais, is there anything you wish while you and Draven visit?"
