too bad i'm the bet that you lost

[morningstar-devil]

"Sounds lovely. Please think of me if you ever need piano accompaniment," he said with a chuckle at his own prowess. "I see, well why don't you tell me what kind of girl you are, though, i'll happily take anything you're willing to give me."

[maskedlucygraybaird]

"Oh now, a piano! That would be somethin', it's usually just strings and drums for us," she said with a happy smile. "I ain't never sung with a piano before." Her teeth sank into her bottom lip for a moment more, thinking it over. "I'm a girl who doesn't mind using her hands and mouth to give my audience something sweet," she finally said, looking up to him shyly.

[morningstar-devil]

“Technically…pianos have strings,” he chuckled softly. “Perhaps we’ll have to give that a go, then,” he suggested. A low chuckle rolled out of his throat, “we’ll love, don’t let me stop you.”

[maskedlucygraybaird]

She crinkled her nose at him. “You know what I mean, darlin’,” she protested playfully. Her heart pounded in her chest. “Get me out of here safely and you won’t even have a chance to stop me,” Lucy Gray said with a grin, leaning up to brush her lips to his jaw.

[maskedlucygraybaird]

"No sir, not me. I'm about the sunshine. Most nights though, I'm performin' with my family, so the stillness doesn't get to me." She smiled lightly up at him, though she wasn't sure if he could see it through the fog. Lucy Gray barely stifled a shriek when she noticed the scary creature, and she clung to him again, though the fear wasn't as bad this time. "Sure was. Good thing I've got you here to protect me," she replied, daring to press a little kiss to his cheek.

[morningstar-devil]

"Ooh performing? What kinds of performance do you do?" he asked, happy to keep her mind off the dark and dangerous lurking every corner. He waited completely still for the other to past, thoughts interrupted when he felt her sweet lips to her kiss. "If you'd like to thank me further, I'm sure we can come up with a way for that," he chuckled darkly.

[maskedlucygraybaird]

"I'm a musician. My family - we call ourselves Covey people - we're all musicians, and we travel where we fancy, performing where we can. I sing and play guitar," she said, clearly happy to talk about her art. Lucy Gray blushed, biting her lip. "Now I ain't completely that kind of girl, but - maybe there's a little something sweet I could do to thank you."

[maskedlucygraybaird]

As they moved through the maze, her racing heart began to calm, the steady presence of (ironically) the devil beside her making her feel less exposed. "Somewhat, yes. Thank you. I do better when it's daytime, I'm more hopeful then, but the night seems to bring me right down along with the sun."

[morningstar-devil]

"Not much of a nightwalker, hmm?" he teased softly, peering around the next corner for any upcoming foe. "Good thing you landed in the hands of someone who travels best in the dark." Walking through a path overly foggy, Lucifer almost didn't see the demonic clown tear ass down towards them. He grabbed Lucy, pulling her back into him and pressing his back to a hedge, letting the other pass by them. "That one was close, wasn't it?" he chuckled against her ear.

[maskedlucygraybaird]

"No sir, not me. I'm about the sunshine. Most nights though, I'm performin' with my family, so the stillness doesn't get to me." She smiled lightly up at him, though she wasn't sure if he could see it through the fog. Lucy Gray barely stifled a shriek when she noticed the scary creature, and she clung to him again, though the fear wasn't as bad this time. "Sure was. Good thing I've got you here to protect me," she replied, daring to press a little kiss to his cheek.

[maskedlucygraybaird]

"It is a right shame, I can tell you that," Lucy Gray agreed, shuddering. She nodded, sliding her hand into the crook of his elbow. "I'm sorry I've gone all to pieces on you, darlin', this ain't me normally," she murmured as they started through the maze, her eyes darting about in the darkness.

[morningstar-devil]

"Oh it's no problem," he promised brightly, putting his hand on top of hers and started walking through the maze. Slow, deliberate footsteps crunched between the ground beneath them. The came to a corner and Lucifer peered around it, looking for any foe before moving on. "Alright, how are you feeling, love? Any better?"

[maskedlucygraybaird]

As they moved through the maze, her racing heart began to calm, the steady presence of (ironically) the devil beside her making her feel less exposed. "Somewhat, yes. Thank you. I do better when it's daytime, I'm more hopeful then, but the night seems to bring me right down along with the sun."

[morningstar-devil]

"Fight to the death! not even my father would put children through that. Shame," he said, shaking his head. He nodded back, "Of course, I'm happy to escort you through this nonsense and get us to the other side. You ready?" he asked, offering her his elbow.

[maskedlucygraybaird]

"It is a right shame, I can tell you that," Lucy Gray agreed, shuddering. She nodded, sliding her hand into the crook of his elbow. "I'm sorry I've gone all to pieces on you, darlin', this ain't me normally," she murmured as they started through the maze, her eyes darting about in the darkness.

[morningstar-devil]

"Arena," he asked, "What kinda of arena are you used to? Roman collisuem? Prehaps one of the fights my dear father set up in the days of his fire and brimstone," he chuckled. His hands remained on her, rubbing up and down her arms. "You ready to try again? Or do you want to just sit for a minute?"

[maskedlucygraybaird]

Lucy Gray sighed. "I guess it's - kind of like that. It's a thing called the Hunger Games, back where I'm from. Children are forced to fight to the death, and ... I had to go in there," she nearly whispered. She buried her face in her hands for a moment, taking a deep breath, then looked up at him. "I think I'm ready. But you'll stay with me?" she asked, her voice still nervous.

[morningstar-devil]

He straightened up to look behind her, trying to see any shapes or shadows between the darkness and the dense fog. "Alright, well, then we should do that, hmm? Come on," he said, grabbing the bird's hand the dragging her along the path. "This way!" he said dipping to the left in a break in the path. It was a dead end, so he pulled the bird into his chest, pressing her against him and ducking slightly. The heavy footsteps of a guard stomped through, descending as he ran further passed them.

[maskedlucygraybaird]

Lucy Gray ran with him, clutching to his hand and fighting to get back to the present, where life and death wasn't a reality. Her heart fell when she realized it was a dead end - but her savior hugged her close and hid her, her shaking, sharp breaths muffled in his chest. Once the footsteps faded, she let out a soft sob, her forehead against his chest. "Thank you. Sometimes it - when I get scared, it's like I got one foot in the Arena still," she whispered, trembling as she struggled to get her fear to subside.

[maskedtitanfury]

Titan's eyes locked onto hers, his gaze burning with intensity as he continued to nuzzle his head against hers. "Oh, sweetheart," he whispered, his voice low and husky. His massive chest rose and fell with each breath, making Lucy's fingers dance along the ridges of muscle beneath his singlet. As she rubbed her hands along the straps of his top, Titan let out a soft groan of pleasure. He tilted his head back slightly, exposing the strong lines of his jawline. "You're making me hard just by touching me like that," he admitted bluntly. His arms tightened around her waist for a moment before releasing their hold. "Mmm, you want more, huh?" He chuckled darkly. "Imagine me taking you down to the mat," he said, his voice dripping with seduction. "My muscles flexing above you as I pin you down. You can feel my hot breath on your skin as I whisper what a dirty little slut you are in your ear." His fingers dug gently into her hip as he pulled her in closer. "And then... I'd make you fucking submit to me...you'd be begging so prettily, and if I'm feeling generous, I'd give you even more of all this..." he growled, leaning back slightly so she could watch his chest flex under the flimsy straps of his singlet.

[maskedlucygraybaird]

The closeness and deliciously masculine smell of him was going straight to her head. His admission had her gasping - just from her touch, he was getting that way? - but instinct had her leaning in closer, her small hands daring to smooth over his shoulders, slipping under the straps to get every inch of skin under her touch. Her breathing was shaky, and she knew without his arms around her, she wouldn't be able to stand on her own. "Oh sweetheart," she breathed out, lost for words herself, her fingers skimming down over the bulging muscle of his chest. "W-would you be gentle then, though? I've had enough hurt in my life, it'd be good to have something - sweeter," Lucy Gray murmured, leaning in to nuzzle at his throat, intoxicated by this handsome, seductive stranger.

Haunted Maze

Lucifer was making his way through the maze when other body came quickly into his path. "Whoa whoa there new friend," he said, hands on the other's shoulders to keep them still. "What's got your knickers in a twist, ay?"

[maskedlucygraybaird]

The maze had seemed fun at first, she never had been afraid of spending time in nature. And then a guard started chasing her, and the pounding of her heart built like she was back in the Arena running for her life, and dodging pitchforks, and hearing screams. Her breath was coming in shuddering pants, and she cried out when someone grabbed her shoulders. "We have to, we have to run, they're coming," she breathed, her eyes wide with fear behind her mask.

[maskedtitanfury]

Titan’s eyes crinkled at the corners behind his mask as he chuckled, his smile growing wider - almost wolfish. “Oh, definitely special,” he said, his voice low and husky. He leaned in closer, his massive chest inches from Lucy’s pretty face. As she shifted away from the door, the Titan took advantage of the opportunity to move in closer. His strong arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her against him. “But I have to say,” he whispered into her ear, his hot breath traipsing across her skin. “You smell amazing. Like…I dunno, strawberries, and sunshine or something.” He nuzzled his head against hers, inhaling deeply, “…mmm, and your hair is so soft…like silk,” his fingers wove through it gently once more before releasing it. He pressed his body firmly against hers, but not uncomfortably so - inviting her to take things a step further if she wanted to.

[maskedlucygraybaird]

Her heart pounded in her chest as she was gathered close to that big, broad chest once again, her delicate hands instinctively moving to his biceps. Lucy Gray felt her breath coming in a little shorter than usual. His low voice was warm against her ear, and so kind and smooth, so unlike Coriolanus or Billy Taupe had ever been, and she was only human. "You - you sure got a way with words, darlin'," she whispered shakily, blinking up at him, fingers slowly working their way up over wide shoulders, rubbing unthinkingly along the little straps of his top. "Wanna tell me some more?" she asked with a little smile.

[maskedtitanfury]

Titan chuckled, his deep voice rumbling as stepped aside to let the girl pass. "Ah, no worries at all, sweetheart. I'm used to being bumped into... Kinda comes with the territory when you're this jacked." He winked at her playfully, his dark eyes sparkling with amusement. His massive chest flexed slightly as he moved to the side, the muscles rippling beneath his tight singlet. As she passed by him, Titan reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. His fingers grazed against her skin softly before releasing it. The man's hand lingers on the back of her head for a moment before dropping away, after which he straightened up and gave her an innocent-looking smile.

[maskedlucygraybaird]

Lucy Gray liked to think of herself as rather unflappable, especially when it came to men. But the way he flexed his chest had her blushing even harder, and it was a miracle that her knees didn't give out when he touched her hair, behind her ear in a way she hadn't felt in so long. Her eyes fluttered open to see his innocent smile, and she returned it shyly. "Well now, do you do that to all the girls you bump into, or am I just special?" she asked, shifting away from the door to clear the way - and consequently, bringing herself closer to the very muscled man.

[maskedtitanfury]

The night's festivities were in full swing, and the Titan - as he decided to go by for the evening - was enjoying himself as much as he could. So much so that he needed a quick break to freshen himself up in the restroom. Once he was all primped and ready to get back out onto the dance floor, he swung open the door to the co-ed restroom and walked right into someone, their face ending up buried in his big pecs which were framed by the skin-tight wrestling singlet he had on. Titan looked startled at the other and blushed softly, chuckly, "Sorry! Didn't mean to run into you like that. Are you okay?" He asked, clearly concerned.

[maskedlucygraybaird]

Lucy Gray merely needed a break from the hubbub of the main room. Ever since the Games, she'd been unable to handle much commotion for a long time, so a bit of quiet would do her good. But of course, as she attempted to enter the bathroom, she ran right into a very firm, very built chest. "Oh - gosh, I'm just fine darlin', are you? Completely my fault, I just wasn't looking where I was goin'!" Her cheeks had turned pink under her rainbow mask, and she took a step back to let him completely exit.

[sexyvampireing]

"Seems like an awful young time to start drinking but who am I to judge the ways of mortals?" The vampire teased with a wave of his hand as he watched the other take a sip of his drink with a gentle chuckle. "Though I'm sure drinking will be the least of your plans tonight, Miss. I'm sure."

[maskedlucygraybaird]

"I ain't had the most typical life, it's true to say, so not many mortals are like me," she laughed, her mouth upturned. "Oh well, who's to say? I might step up to the mic and sing a tune or two, it's beyond me to resist when the music calls. Or it might be a night to dance! You got any plans for the night, darlin'?"

[sexyvampireing]

drinks

The vampire scooped up two drinks and moved towards the nearest person to offer one out, his most charming smirk dancing along his face. There's a flash of his fangs as he gives a little bow of his head. "It might be the most spookiest night of the year but you can't possibly let me drink alone. Could you? That would be a crime." He said as he held out the spooky green drink to the other.

[maskedlucygraybaird]

Her head tilted, dark hair tumbling over one shoulder as the fanged figure offered her a disturbingly green glass. "Well, darlin', I quit drinkin' when I was 12 but how can I say no to such an offer? I ain't no criminal, after all," Lucy said brightly, taking the offered glass and sipping at the brew.
