--- me, needing to not only fix my muse page because the images are all FUCKED again but also needing to sort through my roster again...
--- taking a page out of ninnie's book. deciding on who i should remove/privatize ( i never actually remove anyone, you can always find their page still with their /name ) and who i should keep...ugh. who i don't really play with anymore or feel so much anymore...any ideas? oof...
"How tasteless. Is that how you treat a guest?" Rather than admonishing, he seemed amused as he spoke those words. His breath sounded nearly like a chuckle as his hand came to the shoulder of his worker. Fingers pressed in to suggest that they step back from the woman they'd been questioning. They obliged without an ounce of stubbornness though; unsurprising when you saw the size and height of the man giving the wordless command. "A beautiful one at that."
"You have my pardons for being touched. Though, they have made quite the accusation against you. Stealing from my business when I've tried to give you the benefit of the doubt would be quite the disappointment, would it not, darling?" Gesturing to his casino, he continued to smile. "Surely you can explain yourself?"
--- Outfit was more lavish than the ones she usually donned, but it was a necessity to scope out a place like this; if it led to high stakes wins? Well, she wouldn't be upset either way. There was money to be had, of course, but the security was...very tight. Not above her abilities, but it was certainly a test of them, least of all the physical aspect of said security. Men everywhere, and while cameras themselves were easy to betray and slip around or short circuit, coming face to face with someone so large?
--- Dark orbs were pulled from the man before her, vaguely recalling how the night had been going and how she'd been caught. Had she been caught, or was it just a lucky guess? She didn't think she warranted the scrutinizing eyes of pit bosses and low security, even while counting cards at a table, she was too smart- lose just enough, win just enough, walk away. Still. Here she was in a chair, huffing at the rough handling for being forced into such, two seconds from breaking a man's hand.
--- ' Ahh, that explains it. Their accusations are quite severe...I'd ask if they could prove it, but they probably couldn't. I'm too good for that... ' a purr, her accent slightly thicker with her Arabian heritage. Lips pulled back, the faint peek of a fang startling through before skin glowed just beneath the slit in her dress and legs crossed, leaning back a bit more comfortably while hues narrow up at the imposing figure. Every bit as intimidating and large as the rumors she'd heard and hoped to encounter...one day. This wasn't the one she'd expected.
--- ' You, though. You'd never let it past...so... ' she stood, abrupt and graceful, movements like a coiling snake ready to strike. It's but a split second and before near anyone can blink, that she has the smallest of knives out and pressed almost playfully against the larger figure's abdomen, a flash of amusement and mischief glitters in her eyes...danger. Threat, flirtation? Promise? ' ...you must have been watching me, Mr. Castillo. Do I have your attention? '

--- Man, I'm always just here and lurking and constantly on the dash but never fully functioning and that's because life has been SUPER chaotic for me the last like...idk how long.

My Nana died very recently, after being in two year decline in hospice. In the last six months, she went from recognizing me and smiling when I'd visit, to becoming entirely nonverbal on not knowing who I was. She passed Mid-January.
Just found out today that her husband, my Papa who has survived her, has throat cancer and I'm not sure if he has the will the beat it this time after beating his lung cancer given the last time his wife was alive.
Lost my job a while ago. Fought aggressively against that to get this new one and am struggling with this new one due to an extremely frustrating and disgusting coworker who management will not do anything about. Or hasn't, currently, at least.
After nearly two years of being in a tumultuous "situationship," with the man I was in a poly triad with (that ended extremely poorly with as his wife divorced him when he went to rehab, then she broke up with me) we continued to date, then broke up and remained friends but it was more like...friends with...benefits? But not quite? Benefits? He finally pulled his head out of his ass and decided I'm "the one" so we're trying to begin a new life and just started living together.
Last year I had to put my cat, my companion (I got him when he was 1 month old) of 13 years to sleep due to an aggressive cancer. Honestly I haven't recovered.
I lost the friendship of a friend I thought I knew extremely well for three years over something...stupid? Something like not talking every single day and trying to attend to my real personal life instead of my "internet life".
My brother is getting married. Again.
My car's bumper got entirely ripped off and was completely out of commission for over a month, and $2000 later. The other insurance company tried to blame me even though I was parked in a lot and not even in it, as I was at work.
My mother still hasn't gotten the payout from the electric company that caused the huge Echo Mountain wildfire on the west coast that burned down her entire house and the entirety of my family's history and legacy along with it. Each and every memory.
Just the state of the world in general?? Like...myself aside, my mental health, my personal physical health, my family's health? The health of the WORLD and the economic and political health of the nation and all that is fucking WILD right now.
--- That said. I've had to deal with a lot this year and the last several months and such and it's just...been a lot in general and trying to keep myself optimistic and positive and trying to summon any strong measure of muse or urge to write has been...difficult, to say the least so I apologize sincerely to everyone who has been following me and does following me and has continued to do so. I will attempt to do my best to be more active and provide content and hopefully regain some muse, because I genuinely do love writing and I love my characters.
--- Please let me know what and who you'd like to see more of, from me, or what I can do to broker intrigue. I know this is a lot and I've said a lot. I've not written anything here to garner pity or sympathy or anything like that, just being transparent with everyone about wot all has been going on and woi things are so chaotic and stressful and woi I've been absent. Real life will always take precedence for me, but I am hoping to get more involved again, so. Cheers!

Not every love is sweet and kind
Sometimes, love is dangerous
Poisonous, addictive, obsessive
Leaving emotional, mental and physical scars
Don’t want to walk away, refuse to let go
To need, no matter how much it hurts
To know the same pain is returned
Because some don’t want just the sweet
They crave the bitter too
"Your belt looks really tight," Orcus hums, his hands moving from cheek, down to Lycaon's chest and lower, to trace leather with a finger. Lashes flutter as he looks up, coy smile on his lips. "Can I loosen it for you?"
--- A lazy smirk tugs at the corners of the wolf's lips as he lays casually upon mattress. The leather of his belt was actually quite comfortable; it wasn't at all digging into hips, nor hugging waist too tightly- but the moment Orcus' fingertips slip from cheeks to chest, he couldn't help but catch on to intent. He wasn't naive, after all. Lower yet, they fall, and brow lofts in subtle amusement as he watches the coy smile and fluttering of lashes.
--- ' Does it, now? ' he muses idly, head tilting with a curious hum as an arm shifts behind his head to prop it up while the other lowers to settle on Orcus' own skull, fingers gently scratching along scalp and running through dark hair. Nails scrape and scratch, before digits tighten just a bit, giving a gentle tug to the man's hair until loosening hold and dragging claws down the nape of neck with a chuckle. ' By all means, I don't like discomfort... ' half a purr, gaze lidding as he gives consent.
--- Even more than that, his hips lift just slightly off the mattress to assist even further, snorting as he digs nails into Orcus' hair once more. ' Actually...my pants...in general are pretty tight. Think you can help...with that? ' a low grunt, words a bit gruff, nearly growled out as he drags the others face up and along his thigh.
His lips curve slightly into an amused smile. She was nice to look at, he could admit that. Fur well maintained based on the two tails. Young, potential to growth. There was familiarity to her he couldn't put his finger on but he wasn't letting it distract him for too long. Prayers, huh. "Only Gods need devotion laced in pretty words and gifts of song," he answers, "I am in no need of such things."
The hand that had rested on his lap raised to tap the counter twice, the sound nearly boomed in the silenced space, there in their little corner. Moments later there's a drink in the same hand; the bartender mixing the drink being confused at the far end of the counter.
Jung-hee watched her, eyes sharp over the rim of the glass as he takes a sip. They narrow in something akin to a warning, though he minded not his age. Many doesn't reach this age, many doesn't gain the knowledge and power to stay on top. It doesn't stop him from letting the oppressive air around him to spread out further around them. People squirm uncomfortable in their seats, some look down right sick.
"If that is what you want to call me," he shrugs. Gumiho, kitsune, maegu, nogitsune... whatever. "What mortals think have little value to me, girl. Their existence is of little importance." The glass thunks against the wooden counter. Lights flicker and shadows grow darker and longer in the room. Jung-hee leans forward, the shades low over his nose, baring the gleaming reds behind.
"Choose your words wisely, pup. I would feel no remorse of removing that smart mouth of yours." He holds her gaze for a moment longer, he then sits back up, lights and shadows return to normal.
--- Another wide fanged grin brightens her features, amusement lacing the expression as long fingers curl over the curve of a supple hip, pronounced as she shifts her weight to it. Head is cocked, brushing her hair over her shoulder to give him a better view of the column of her throat; inviting and pristine and nearly as white as her hair. ' Devotion is for Gods, mm? Are you saying you don't want me between your legs, praying? ' she purrs, voice low and husky as white lashes lay thick over mossy greens.
--- The top to the counter draws attention, but she doesn't let t distract her. Her single step forward had his aura pulsing around her, the narrowing of his eyes and how they nearly glow red in warning to her words. With each shadow that stretches and bends to his presence, her tongue slowly drags out and over her lips, a display of sensuality and while the shudder of fear that darts up her spine is exhilarating, she knows she's on thin ice.
--- ' My mouth is useful in other ways. You're going to want to keep it intact. ' a quick quip, before she closes the distance between them entirely, nudging his knees apart just a bit so that she can stand between them, another shiver of thrilling fear causing her tails to twitch and shiver. ' My Uncle; though he didn't send me exactly. He spoke of you, often. Not by name...but by reputation. He is the leader of...an Order that I won't name. Not here. He said that you might help me accomplish the things I want, if I was brave enough to seek you out. Bold enough. '
His hands arent as warm as a human's would be, but they still hold Lycaon's face gently between them. Thumbs brushing over cheekbones, light and caring. Orcus held him like this, like Lycaon were something precious, something fragile; a treasure beyond measure. And to Orcus, he was just that.
--- It had felt like a millennia since the wolf had felt such a deep stirring of emotion in broad chest; the depth of which brought gut-wrenching fear in abdomen. The last time he experienced such depth, his hubris had caused a curse that spanned his existence and destroyed his family; one that cost the woman he loved her life, had cursed his sons to their death and brought his own life to heel, hunted towards an end that saw no respite.
--- Even so, between cool palms, there was understanding and tranquility beyond words; the brush of thumbs causing the brush of lashes along orbitals. He'd never been treated as fragile before, because he never had been. As a mortal man and king among them, and more so as a creature cursed by Zeus himself, he was durable above all but in Orcus' hands like this? He felt...soft.
--- Like he could settle low his burdens and release them from his shoulders. Relax against the constantly breaking tide. A heavy sigh escaped him, easing frame forward until his forehead rested against the others and his eyes closed completely, lips pursed just slightly before his cheeks darkened with the faintest hint of embarrassment. ' I'm not a child, you know... ' he muttered gruffly, as if the statement might somehow erase how he felt...though it held no barb in it, no qualm or fuss...no real conviction at all towards his intention. In fact, his body came to relax almost completely against the reprieve that the God before him offered from his own torments.
--- The bell has ears twitching once more, like a predator on alert to surroundings, the pitch only something she can hear in this confined space. Soon enough voice is gracing ears and sounding closer, breath a ghostly whisper upon neck and that same bell is ringing again, warm tendrils of air curling over pale skin like inky tendrils. It tickles like magick, though she feels none. Both tails twitch and swish behind her in a display of curiosity and agitation and the haze she uses to mask them is swept away the moment he seats himself in chair before her.
--- Expectedly he is...young. Beautiful to look at, seductive and alluring in all the right ways to draw you in. A coy smile pulls upon lips until fangs are peeking out in vague amusements. ' Offerings? That does feel only natural. I suppose I should he on my knees as any supplicant to one praying? ' a slightly derisive snort, before lips purse and she takes a step closer. The moment she does, the atmosphere changes.
--- The aura he exudes is...heavy. Oppressive and strong and thick with a power she had never felt before. With age and something akin to familiarity. ' You... ' a quiet, shallow breath. ' You...are a kitsune? ' It's hesitant, if only because he doesn't feel like her, not entirely, and eyes narrow into vulpine slits, pupils thin. ' I am old, by mortal standards. ' a quiet scoff...before nose twitches to the air. ' Though you... ' a chuckle, a smirk. ' Smell like...well... ' a playful shrug.
