Though Micah typically preferred to take walks in the evening, the promise of a bit of sunshine today had been too much to pass up. It was still cold, miserably so, but the crisp, fresh air and vitamin d was doing his soul good. The problem with being out and about during the day was that the risk of running in to people seemed to more than double, so he’d been practically expecting it when he ran in to company.
Briefly, Micah considered turning around and walking away and not bothering with the inane small talk that always accompanied first meetings. But that would have been rude, and he had as little desire to make enemies as he did to make friends, so he stuck his hands in his pockets and gave a polite grin. If he had to wager a guess, he’d say this was a mer- it could have been a human, he supposed, but they didn’t usually wande this far from the GRF and certainly not alone. He’d been at the forts long enough that he knew she wasn’t a fae unless she was solitary and he was sure she wasn’t an enchanter. Sunlight ruled out vampirism, and she still could have been a werewolf, but call it a hunch. He was pretty sure this one was a fish.
“Hello,” he said, pleasantly. “Bit far from the lake, isn’t it?”
It was another one of those days when Olivia preferred being out and about instead of submerged within the water with her...oh so lovely...colony. Once again she grew bored with the simple life that they were pursuing. So while seeking some excitement, she ventured out again into the forest. This time with a plan and a desire to play a game, a much crueler game than she has ever played before.
With a song in her mind and anticipation in her heart, Olivia set forth for her entertainment for the day. Using her siren song to call two beings to her. The first was a human male. Nothing special, quite the average pick but she did note that he was attractive. As the man approached, Olivia used her feminine wilds and magic to seduce him, forcing him to pamper and shower her with affection. The second was a being of a magical nature, someone with a dark past, ambition, and secrets. Someone more her style. He then showed up in the form of an enchanter, which she could tell by the powerful presence he exuded.
“So glad you could you join us,” Olivia said while petting the human male’s head like a animal. She smiled excitedly as the enchanter spoke. “Not at all, this is exactly where I want to be.” Olivia then moved from where she had taken a seat and walked towards the enchanter. “Would you like to play a game?”
gabriel-enchanted:
“I’ve never been in the US…so I’m going to go with no. We’re not anywhere near there. I’m sorry.” But at least she vaguely remembered arriving so there was that at least. She hadn’t been kidnapped or something. Her staring was starting to get unnerving and he mentally reached out, comforting himself with Avery’s presence as he took another step back. She was out of the snow, clothed, and now fed. That was about the extent that he could help her as he’d never seen such a reaction before. Maybe it had to do with her still-unknown physiology.
“I don’t, I’m sorry. I’d guess a reaction to something you ate or come into contact with. It should hopefully go away on its own, but if it doesn’t…I’m not sure who to contact. Are you Fae? I could help you back to the Forts and you could see the Healer there…?” Gabriel hesitated a moment because books were precious but did reach into his knapsack to pull out the botany guide and flipped to the page with the white flowers before handing it to her. “I don’t know if this would help you or not?”
Oh great the one person that doesn't know anything about the U.S. It looks like Olivia is going to have to quit while she’s ahead rather than risk all the work she’s already done. It seems like it’ll only get harder from here on out to pretend like she was something other than Mer. And with this reaction getting worse, it would be best if she returned to the colony and seek treatment, maybe some seaweed paste would quell the newfound rash.
“Oh, it’s quite alright. Please don’t worry yourself any more about it, you’ve already done so much for me,” Olivia said genuinely. She smiled graciously as he continued to talk. As he mentioned the fae, Olivia then seemed to find her easy escape from this situation. “Well, you’re quite the perceptive one aren’t you? I didn’t think you would be able to figure it out.”
Olivia grabbed the book that Gabriel had handed her. It said something like bot-nanny or boat any or something, Olivia wasn’t sure nor did she really care. She then placed it aside as she had something better in mind to do. “Thanks but I think I have something else that’ll help the both of us in fact,” Olivia said with a wicked grin on her lips. “Let me show you my magic.”
“Listen to my magic words, come on hear the sound of my voice.
Trust in me, while you drift off to sleep.
I’m not here, (you won’t remember this)
I was never here, (you won’t remember this)
This ain’t real, (you won’t remember this)
This isn’t happening (you won’t remember this)
Close your eyes and say goodnight
Thank you for the wonderful time...”
Her song proved to be just as powerful as ever. It was oh so easy for Olivia to lull Gabriel to sleep. With the moment upon her, Olivia then made her departure. “Thanks for the help, you’ve been oh so gracious,” she said as she places a kiss upon Gabriel’s cheek, in gratitude. Olivia then stood from her spot on the ground. The snowfall then ceased at that moment allowing her to walk off into the night. All the while humming a melodious tune.
soraroux:
“That doesn’t seem like a good basis for… anything really… “ She muttered, half to herself. Knowing full well Olivia was going to do it whether Sora objected or not. And knowing full well she was going to go with Olivia no matter if she was just wandering or not. “Following.” She stated- doing just that. Albeit a bit awkwardly. The forest was definitely somewhat more difficult to navigate than the waters.
Sora thought back to her little trip through the forest the other day. She hadn’t really gotten much of a bearing. When she saw some place she could probably tell you what it was. Which group belonged there but she was almost certain she could not tell you how to get there from the lake. That would come in time however. She did make careful notes as they walked now. Hopefully it would help.
"You didn’t get to see it much then?” She questioned quietly. Knowing she was likely kept away from a lot of things due to the previous so called leader. Sora wished she could have helped but even still she wasn’t much of a fighter and she was younger back then. “I think they missed home. It’s not thrilling but it is nice so far. We don’t really have a choice though unfortunately.”
As much as it pained her, Olivia was inclined to agree with Sora. She actually didn’t have a choice in the matter. They already were there and it seems as if it was for good. They were trapped here, in this godforsaken forest for who knows how long. And that mad Olivia mad. In fact, it made her furious.
Olvia stopped short, becoming overcome with pure unfiltered rage. Spotting a tree next to her, she ran over to it. Reaching over to the first branch she could find, she ripped it off and snapped in half without a second thought. With that, she let out a visceral scream. Even going as far as to let her song seep into it amplifying it’s range and force, causing a literal sonic scream to make its way through the forest.
With the weight of reality now dawning on her, Olivia dropped to her knees, ending her ghastly scream. A light sob began to escape her lips. “I can’t go back to being trapped again. I just won’t do it!” Olivia cried, feeling so angry that the words barely left her mouth. “You have no idea how awful it was for me back then. I left for a reason and wasn’t to end up trapped somewhere else.”
emrysofembers:
“You think so?” Emrys asked, slightly surprised, he’d been told it was something of an acquired taste - one person had spat it out after the first sip, but it was nice to hear that someone, other than him, seemed to enjoy it. In truth, he was maybe a little bit flattered, but as usual, he was also a lot - a bit - tipsy. One of his more self destructive inclinations was alcohol, another was his growing lust for the Mer who’d wandered far enough to reach his camp.
“It sounds - “ Emrys started, though before he could even finish Olivia had made her way onto his lap. He meant to finish his thought, but any words that might have been available seemed to evade his tongue, besides, Emrys had no interest in talking about Olivia’s mother now. His hands found her waist, then moved to the small of her back, never much good with his words, Emrys had better uses for his tongue. With a smirk, he arched his back and brought his lips towards hers.
Olivia could squeal with pure joy at how perfectly this was going. It was like catching fish in a barrel, although catching fish by hand was far easier than using a barrel. Who knew that a guardian would be so easy to bed. If she would have known this before, she would have tried it already. This is just the first step of many for Olivia to gain followers for her ultimate insurrection of the forest.
Now for Olivia to put on the performance of a lifetime. Turning up her seduction techniques and sex appeal to the max to really get on the guardian's good side. Olivia then decided to play coy just a bit, only leaning into the kiss ever so slightly. After a while, she went into it full throttle even going so far as to bite the man’s lip. Olivia then released him to let out a seductive moan. Never the satiated one, she went back in, this time much more ravenous than before causing the two to fall off the log they were seated on caught up in the thrills of passion.
What one thing would you most want to save if your house caught fire? Assuming that any people or animals made it out safely already.
~TMI Tuesday~
“You do realize that I am a Mermaid and don’t live in a house, right? Regardless of that fact, I would have to say myself and only myself.”
Talk about one of your worst memories involving someone you love.
~TMI Tuesday~
“Being given away by the only people I thought would protect me from the world.”
How do you feel about Gunnar's leadership?
~TMI Tuesday~
“As far as I’m concerned his leadership was just a means to an end. It’s subpar at best. I mean have you seen him do anything since the colony arrived here?”
What opinions do you have that differ from the majority?
~TMI Tuesday~
“I think that all of my opinions differ from everyone. I like to get what I want by any means necessary and I know that a lot of Mer or even other beings won’t agree with that. I’m manipulative and impulsive and I don’t fight who I am. I think being nice is stupid and I love to use my song to do whatever I want regardless of if it hurts others.”
t-cousland:
His ears felt the melody and yet his eyes wanted to tear away. He could feel his eye twitch, trying to fight the call. It was very different to decipher if he should follow his eyes or his ears at this matter. Guess the ears are winning, at least for now. “Uh, I just really came to uh-” he blinked losing reason on why he wanted to go out the first place by the lake. There wasn’t much to think about when she continued talking, her hand was out- waiting for him.
Tobias raised his hand towards her. “I would like to join you–” he started to say and then just as his hand met hers he pulled it away violently. “I would like to join you, but not for a swim.” he said as he stood his ground. His ears still rang of her song, and yet his eyes told him that she was. A mermaid. A dangerous mermaid.
“I can’t. You’re voice is great and I’m going to die, but you’re a mermaid - nothing so bad in my books, but… I don’t think I’ll live if there’s an intent to drown.” he said, a hand on his head, and a finger in his ear.
What? He’s rejecting me? How dare he. Olivia was furious, never had someone been able to break free of her song. Her blood began to boil as the world around her went red. Her mind went into a spin as she thought of things too horrible to even be spoken. This was something Olivia was not going to let go, she wouldn’t let this one escape. Not this time!
Olivia began to sing her song once again even more powerful than before. Her words compelling the man to trust her and give in to her. Letting him know that he’ll only enjoy his time with her and nothing else. “Are you sure you don’t want to play with me? You’re sure to have quite to the time with me if you did.”
She then lent in much closer to his face and planted a kiss on his cheek hoping to spark a reaction. Oliva then sat up on the boulder she was on. The shirt that had reappeared on her body barely covered her lower half. Her bare legs glistening in the light of the moon. In one swift motion, Olivia had blown a kiss towards the man and then fell back into the water behind her. When she resurfaced she locked her eyes on his and motion for him to follow her.
Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones? || Why are you, you? || What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?
~TMI Tuseday~
Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones?
“My old memories. I would make rather live a life where I know nothing of my past and only have to look forward to all the new and wonderful things I could do. Free from all the pain and hate that I have stored within.”
Why are you, you?
“Why is anyone the way that they are. Life, experiences, choices. That is what makes us who we are. That is what made me the way that I am.”
What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?
“That I don’t have any control over it.”
Do you believe in Karma? That your actions will one day come back to bite you? / Are you unrepentant of willfully causing harm to the innocents?
~TMI Tuesday~
“No, I don’t believe in that garbage. If that was all real then I would have been free a long time ago as Adam definitely had tons of bad karma coming back to him. I have no regrets because no one is ever truly innocent. You think the monster that stripped me of a normal life ever regretted it? Well, he never got the chance to because I aided in his demise but that’s beside the point.”
If you could have sex with five people in the forest with no consequences or repercussions, who would they be?
~TMI Tuesday~
Other than Emrys, it would have to be Greta, David, Micah, Ronan, and Yasmin. I have a thing for people who come off as more aggressive than others.
