Making my Own Way

Just a small town girl trying to make it in the big city. Looking forward to seeing all the new places and meeting tons of new people.

Stressing! || Open

Casey was juggling a billion things at once; teachers, homework, classes, presentations, group meetings, chores, and now her new job. Pulling all of her long hair on top of her head, securing it with a few pins, she then gathered her bags and ran to class- she was going to be late…. again. The halls were mostly empty by the time she reached her classroom, opening the door quietly she slipped in and settled into a comfortable seat in the back hoping not to be noticed.

Registration || Casey and Derek

  Derek grinned, shaking head lightly at her. “Don’t worry about it miss.” He reassured. “I know that it isn’t your fault. And you barely winded me.” Another smile was sent up at her as he knelt and picked up his papers. “Here’s to hoping.” He agreed. 

Casey blushed softly, "You don't have to call me miss.. Much to proper.." Grins wider at him, fingers picking at her books, "Are you new here?"

Derek’s eyes went back to the girl as she turned around toward and him started to speak. He nodded. “That is a good th-” Just like the girl, his words got cut off as she started to fall towards him. 

The reaction was immediate, ingrained in him from centuries of training. He dropped the papers he was holding and caught the girl before she fell too far. “Easy there.” He chuckled, setting her back on her feet. “I’m Derek.” He introduced himself.

[casey--fisherrp]

Once standing back on her own two feet she smiled, "Sorry... I am clumsy but today it doesn't seem to be entirely my fault.." Looks back to the boy in front of her. Shaking her head she bent to help pick up his papers, "I'm Casey.. And thank you... hopefully we can get through the rest of the line without any more accidents.." Smiles up at him pleased at his politeness and his saving her.

Cowgirl || Casey & Morrigan

[morriganthesuccubus]

"You would be the best wifey in the world if you cooked for me. You make me food and I’m yours forever." Laughing, she gave a nod. "Alright, we’ll go house shopping tomorrow morning. Can we get a house in the nice part of New Orleans? I don’t want to be near peasants." Morrigan smiled and stroked Casey’s hair. "Sure thing, doll. Anyone would be lucky to have that dream with you."

[casey--fisherrp]

Casey gave her the most genuine smile ever, "Thanks Morrigan... Your the best.." Kisses her boldly on the lips before shyly wiggling out of her lap, "I should get out there and shake my bum a bit to pay for books..."

Derek hummed lightly under his breath as he stood with the other students. It was time to register for fall classes again. He glanced around at all of them, trying to spot if there was any of his siblings there. 

This caused him to be distracted for a few seconds and he missed her stepping back until there was pressure on his foot. He waved off the apology. “No worries miss.” He said, grinning. “I hardly felt it. Do not worry.”

[casey--fisherrp]

Casey smiled a little to herself throughout the rest of the line, she couldn't believe she stepped on someones foot! The line took forever, but this was expected since most had to find replacement classes since the one they chose was full. Swaying a little she tried to look around the man in front of her who was slowing getting on her nerves with his sudden movements and awkward flirting looks; only ten more people.

Sliding her hands into the front pockets of her jeans she played with the edge of the paper that had her class list written on it. turning around a little she looked at how long the line was- all the way out the front door. Her eyes met the boys behind her, "Almost outta here thank goodn-" Gasps as the line is squished back a few steps, since she was been turned around not paying attention the man in front of her stepped back onto her shin and she falls forward with a yelp.

Registration || Casey and Derek

Casey was excited for another year of college, new classes and new faces; she loved it! Standing in the line at the universities registration building she wondered if she would get the classes and at the times she needed, after all she needed to find a job to help pay for the classes. Sliding a hand through her long blonde hair to keep it out of her bright blue eyes she observed those around her, most were about her age.

Taking a step back to give the man in front of her who was having trouble with his backpack so room. her foot came down on something, twisting to look back she blinked at the man standing behind her. Blushing softly she moved her foot, "Sorry! I didn't think anyone was even behind me.. I guess that is what I get for not paying attention and being in my own world..." Casey bit her lip to keep from rambling to the cute guy. Quickly she turned back around and shuffled forward feeling embarrassed.

Schooling the Schoolgirl

[queen-anyanka-nasdasy-deactivat]

Anyanka slowly placed her hands on Casey’s hips and swayed to the music. “Mm, a little bit of both, actually. Seeing the same people can get a little boring, and I figured because I’ve been working so much here lately I deserve a little break and could use a fun time.”

[casey--fisherrp]

Casey smiled a little bit and swayed with the music, "Ah well you came to a wonderful place to relax and have fun.." Twirls her then giggles, "is there something you would rather do than dance darlin?"

Elysium || Dorian and Casey

[dorianblanc]

"I don’t mind watching, but  I suppose it was an offer." Dorian carelessly tossed another charming smile at the girl. It amused him how easily girls warmed up to him. Wasn’t a surprise at all, not after countless times of it happening. Not to mention he’s had centuries of  practice, knowing just how to act with girls like her. At her little taunt Dorian shrugged one shoulder carelessly." I know a couple." he smirked at her. "I would hope the owner of this place knew how to dance. At least a little.”

[casey--fisherrp]

Casey wrapped her arms around his neck and swayed into him once they reached the floor. The owner? No wonder he looked and acted like he owned the place. Raising an eyebrow she smirked, "Caine, the owner of Sin, doesn't dance... But then again that is a different type of dancing I suppose.." Smirks up at him, "So since I am dancing with the owner I am sure that means several girls are heart broken and hate me.."

[casey--fisherrp]

Schooling the Schoolgirl

[queen-anyanka-nasdasy-deactivat]

"The pleasure’s all mine. And you should definitely stop by sometime - I’d be happy to have you." Anyanka smiled as Casey grabbed her hand and let the young girl pull her towards the dance floor. Although she wasn’t much of a party-goer, she preferred to stay on the outskirts of her own club, watching everyone else mingle and dance and whatever else they did, she figured she’d just allow herself to follow the girl’s lead.

[casey--fisherrp]

Casey didn't go too far into the dance floor, she wanted to be able to talk after all. So deciding the woman would not mind she wrapped her arms around her neck and started to dance slowly, "So what brings you to our club? Searching for new talent or simply a change in scenery?"

Teasing the Bonds || Casey and Kendra

[kendra--trentham]

"You didn’t show it! You must have a pretty damn good brave face then." Kendra grinned. She had a courage about her that most humans Kendra knew lacked, and that earned Casey bonus points in her book. She took a quick sip of her drink and then said, "I hope you hold on to that. This place changes a lot of girls, and it’s not even their fault. This place can drown you if you aren’t careful." She’d seen many fresh-faced girls come in, excited and fresh, and some ended up losing themselves in the club.   Others, however, thrived on the atmosphere. Casey seemed to be doing just fine for herself, and Kendra hoped that she would continue on to be a big favorite. She’d heard murmurs backstage. Some of the girls were jealous because Caine seemed to have his eye on her. "What brings this small town girl to New Orleans?" She asked conversationally. She didn’t her to feel pressured to answer, but she was curious. "Everyone has a story." She smiled. 

[casey--fisherrp]

Casey sipped her drink along side of Kendra, "Well it must have just jumped out in the excitement.." Gives a soft smile and turns to face her more, "You are very right... everyone does have a story.. and everyone reacts to the club in different ways.. I just don't take it home after work.. I-I am attending college actually.." Blushes and looks down wondering if her new friend would judge her for her choice of occupation while attending the university- it was not most's top tip.

[casey--fisherrp]

Schooling the Schoolgirl

[casey--fisherrp]

Casey smirked a little, “I do indeed work here, what can I help you with?” Closes her text book and slides off of her stool to stand next to the woman, still shorter than the woman in her heels. “Are you having trouble with one of the girls or the bar tender?” Those were the two usual problems- most of the time the complainee was drunk though, this woman was not.

[queen-anyanka-nasdasy-deactivat]

Anyanka shook her head, smiling politely. “No, there’s no trouble. I just saw a beautiful girl sitting all by her lonesome and thought I’d come over to have a talk. It’s been a while since I’ve met some new people - well, new people that I’ll actually end up liking, anyway.” She chuckled, tilting her head slightly. “I’m Anyanka, in case you didn’t know already.”

[casey--fisherrp]

Casey smiled and shifted in her heels, "Pleasure to meet you, I have heard a lot about your club but.. have not had a chance to go." Gives her a sweet smirk, "Well how about we find something to do together so neither of us are bored?" Blushes but tugs at Anyanka's hand playfully, heading to the dance floor.

Stranger! || Casey & Noah

[noah-saunders]

"Just because you understand doesn’t make it okay." He sighed, looking away. He hated the way her smile didn’t quite reach her eyes. Would things between them ever be easy again? "Sure, but as much money as he makes off of you, he can afford to invest some of it back into keeping you all safe." The muscle in his jaw worked as he listened to her, and a frown pulled at his mouth. Something was wrong. He’d never heard her talk this way, and he didn’t know what to say. "Are you still having money trouble?" He asked, his tone one of concern. Had something happened over the last couple of months? Her tone, her demeanor… It was just so unlike her.  

[casey--fisherrp]

Casey rested her cheek on his chest as she had done many times before and relaxed. "Alright... I will tell you when we get there... its... its a long story..." Wipes her eyes and leans away, "follow me to my new apartment?" Offers a small smile before turning to open her car door, "see ya there noah..."

Along the way a dark blue unmarked car started following them. Half way there the car veered and passed Noah, zooming past to ride Casey's bumper. In a flash of sparks the car sped up grinding against Casey's car making her slide along the shoulder until her car dipped into the ditch. The car tilted on the side of the ditch, casey had never been in such an accident- especially one that was on purpose. All of her fears jumped into life.

[casey--fisherrp]

Save Me! || Casey & Noah

[noah-saunders]

His smile turned sheepish, and he said, “Well with where you work, I could  understand where you were coming from.” Who knows what someone at the Sin would try if given the chance. “Noble, but in this case, a little pain relief will help I think. No reason to spend the evening hurting.” He didn’t want to see her uncomfortable. He gave her a look that he hoped showed how absolutely crazy he thought her comment was. “I’m not putting you on the couch.” He huffed. “It’s not like it’s a lot of trouble anyway.” He shrugged at her question and said coolly, “Well maybe I intend on keeping you busy. You’ll be worn out by the time you’re in the clear. You can just crash here.” He shot her a playful wink, returning her good-natured teasing. 

[casey--fisherrp]

Casey smiled and sipped her water, "Thank you, I really appreciate your care.." Rubbing the still sore spot on her head before shaking her head, "And what will you be doing with me to keep me so busy that I will not have the time to be tired?" Smiles softly at him, she knew what he was hinting at and the idea had her mind spinning with pure lust- which she swallowed and shied away. "Need my help on a big case? Maybe we can bake?" Strokes the counter top wondering if he cooked a lot, the kitchen was so clean, "Maybe a game?"

[casey--fisherrp]

Cowgirl || Casey & Morrigan

[morriganthesuccubus]

casey—fisherrp:

Are you trying to swoon me over with compliments? Cause its kinda working." She laughed and squeezed Casey closer to her. "Excuse me, but if we were to get married, I would be the one showering you with gifts and diamond rings. Closed Tiffany’s just for you. And why do you say that? I can’t even boil water without burning half of New Orleans down."

[casey--fisherrp]

Casey giggled and smiled up at her, "Well that would be awful sweet of you... And I would cook all sorts of yummy sweets for the best wife ever... Since we are talking about this I want a nice big house.. Someplace busy with lots of people and gossip.." Looks up at her and kisses her jaw, "Thanks for the dream.." Giggles and sits up.

[casey--fisherrp]

Stranger! || Casey & Noah

[casey--fisherrp]

Casey whimpered and rubbed her head just as an all too familiar voice stopped her. Noah, it had been a long time since she had talked to him- let along physically saw him. Instinctively she stepped back to nurse her throbbing head, her hand rubbed at her forehead. Noticing his eyes looking behind her she looked back as well, nothing was there. But she still had the weird feeling someone had been trying to scare her. All of this was a bit too odd, “Am I dreaming?” At Noah’s blank look she shook her head and moved past him leaving him in her wake, “Have fun Noah, I think a few of your favorite’s are still working.” It wasn’t that she was mad they had broke things up, but… she was still a little bitter- it didn’t help that the only other guy she liked completely disappeared for long periods.

In all honesty she was beginning to wonder if she was the ‘dating’ type, maybe she wasn’t dating material. A frown furrowed her hurting forehead at the thought. See, this was why she was mad, all these doubts had to do with Noah. Sure they were friends and could tease each other about their past but- not tonight. She had slept in on accident, missed an exam, then worked two shifts, had horrible tips and the creepy guy. Another rustling sound had her jump, looking back at Noah she sighed, “Can you walk me to my car I think… I don’t know..” Looks out into the darkness wondering if one of the girls was pranking her or if the creepy guy wanted her alone in the dark.

[noah-saunders]

He drew in a deep breath, hoping that they were down wind of whoever Casey was running from. He couldn’t catch a scent, and a frown tugged at his mouth. Something definitely had her spooked. “Did you see someone?” He asked, returning his gaze to her. He blinked, his head tilting ever so slightly to the left. “No..?” The muscle in his jaw tightened as he was brushed off, and an unsettled feeling coiled in the pit of his stomach. He deserved it. He’d been a dick pulling that disappearing act, and Casey deserved better. Sliding his hands in the pockets of his suit jacket, he turned to watch her go over his shoulder. “Nah, I only ever had one favorite. Apparently she got off early tonight.” She deserved to be pissed off at him, but that didn’t mean that he didn’t want to smooth things over between them.

He didn’t walk back to his car, instead opting to watch her make her way back towards the little Bug she still drove. If she was really being followed, he wasn’t going to let her brave the rest of the parking lot alone. Another sound must have spooked her, and he didn’t hesitate to close the distance between them again. “Better safe than sorry,” He replied easily. “Caine really needs to get better lighting out here. Or have his bouncers walk you girls to your cars.”  He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and added, “Look, I’m sorry I haven’t been around lately. Disappearing on you was shitty of me.  I don’t want there to be hard feelings between us…”

[casey--fisherrp]

Casey looked at him side-long as she walked, she also didn't want there to be any hard feelings. But Casey was finding it hard, "I know.. I mean I understand.. You have a real life now with work and a family." Rolling her shoulders Casey flashed him one of her false smiles she often gave the men at the club, "You know Caine cares about us girls..." Digging into her purse she muttered under her breath about having a long night, "Maybe I'll quit and just move back home.. I'm sure ma and pa wouldn't like it but if they knew what my occupation was they wouldn't like that either.." Huffs out a frustrated breath, "And who needs a degree when you can sell you body?" She was just having a hard time, she was taking more classes, she was working more, some said a degree was a waste of her money, her parents were pressuring her to find a boyfriend. IT all was crushing her usually cheerful spirit.

Elysium || Dorian and Casey

[dorianblanc]

Dorian felt a little relief to see that he hadn’t misjudged. It always put a damper on his night when he prey turned out to be too young. Meant he hand to look again and first choice was always his favorite choice. He turned his attention back to his whiskey, acting as if he hadn’t just been staring at her. He saw her waving in his peripheral and turned to give her a slight nod in acknowledgement. After finishing off his drink he got up and moved down the bar, taking up on the stool next to her, facing the crowding of dancing people rather than her. “So are you going to dance or do you prefer to just watch?” He asked curiously, finally looking at the young woman.

[casey--fisherrp]

Casey raised an eyebrow, "Is that an offer to dance or do you prefer to watch?" Inside Casey was blushing and wondering where this brave face was coming from- obviously tonight happened to be her night. Rolling a slim pale shoulder she sipped at the drink he had gotten her before slowly sliding off of the stool. Licking her lips she moved to stand in front of his stool, "I'm sure a man as charming as yourself knows a few steps..."

Schooling the Schoolgirl

[queen-anyanka-nasdasy-deactivat]

Anyanka raised an eyebrow and smiled softly. “History? You’re studying in a place like this?” She laughed lightly, her eyes scanning the girl’s outfit yet again. It seemed a little silly to her that she’d actually dressed the part of a student, but it was a nice touch. “Nice pigtails, by the way, darling.” She gently reached for some of the girl’s hair, twirling it around her finger slowly.

"Actually, I was just coming over to say hello, but maybe there is something you could help me with." She was telling the truth, for once, about the only wanting to talk part - that is, unless the girl was looking for something more, or needed a few extra bucks in her pocket. Then, Anya would gladly lighten up her night with a little bit of fun. "I’m assuming you work here?"

[casey--fisherrp]

Casey smirked a little, "I do indeed work here, what can I help you with?" Closes her text book and slides off of her stool to stand next to the woman, still shorter than the woman in her heels. "Are you having trouble with one of the girls or the bar tender?" Those were the two usual problems- most of the time the complainee was drunk though, this woman was not.
