Chatzy Archive of VEry Important happenings I simply forgot to post
In which Malon, Sage, Wat and Wilder have a pleasantly chill time before Wat ruins everything with a lost relic of Wilder’s...
@wildxhayes @sage-syke @thesingingelfstar
Wat: Wat being in 'a bit of a mood' wasn't exactly big news, or even news. He had his moods. The reason why he was in a mood was... rather singular in his 700 and pennies years of living. He shouldn't have been moody and that was making him moody. It was his fault, all of it, his problems with Wilder. And yet he was angry... with himself, yes, but also with Wild. Just being here. Reminding him he'd fucked up so badly. That he had so many problems he would have rather run away from. And not eating in about a week wasn't exactly helping either. And when Wat got hungry and moody, he prowled walking the campus at all hours of the night instead of going to some willing slave at the blood bar... ((Whoever joins can decide where they are.))

Malon
: ((would the lounge be a good spot? or the beach?
Wat
: (Either one! 🙂 )
Malon
: ((hmmm lounge it is
Malon
: Malon was alone in the lounge kind of in the mood to be himself by dancing alone with loud music. He took his speaker with him and played whatever was on the radio dancing to himself. No formal or precise dancing just feeling whatever his body was in the mood for. It has been a while since he danced like this and since it was summer vacation he can do this more often.
Sage

Wat
: ((BTW listening to groovy-dark Jack Sworetti is really perfect for moody Wat LOL)) Wat ventured towards the lounge, hearing music, annoyingly loud, meant someone was inside at any rate. He opened the door, his dark mood ever so slightly darker, however on the fence he was about seeing Malon. A nice elf, but ...a bit of a tease. Which Wat only when he was specifically in the mood to be teased. It was nice the elf was having a nice time... Wat crossed the room, rather pointedly picking up Malon's personal speaker and turning it down, though not off, placing it back down and venturing towards the bar without so much as a hello.
Malon
: Hearing his music turned down it snapped him out of his mood and before he was going to complain he saw it was Wat that did it walking to t he bar without saying anything. "Oh hey there Wat I didnt hear you come in. Sorry if my music was too loud for you." He was panting a bit from his dancing walking up to the bar to grab himself a drink as well. He saw the vampire was in a mad mood. "Whats up with you mate? Had a bad day or something?"
Sage
: Sage was coming back from work when he heard music in the lounge. Smiling softly, he made a beeline for the lounge where he saw them. "Hi," He said feeling the mood was a bit odd in the room. He walked into the lounge more, going to grab a water bottle.
Wat
: "Something like that..." Wat said, still a bit testy, though the apology was noted with a small nod. He fixed himself a glass of blood wine. It wouldn't set him entirely right, but it was enough. And he was far old enough that even two weeks without wouldn't be starving himself. He looked up, seeing someone else join them. Sage... he thought that was right. He didn't think he'd met this one formerly. "You're a pixie, aren't you? How'd you like to come home with me tonight?" Wat asked Sage with a bit of a leveled look before pouring his wine.
Malon
: "Hello." He looks back to see Sage and waves at him before hearing Wat asking the other person to join him tonight. Grabbing his whiskey he goes back to the couches and flops down turning the music up a bit louder but not too loud to not hear conversations. "Be careful that man can be a bit 'handsy' at times." Obvious giving a friendly tease looking at the vampire with a wink and a smile.
Sage
: Sage's gaze snapped to Wat's when he addressed him. "Yes, I'm a pixie, sir. I'm Sage," he said. "I can come home with you if that is what you want. I don't mind," He smiled, before looking at Malon. "Hello, Malon. I don't mind handsy."
Wat
: Wat gave Malon a somewhat curious look, not nearly as irritated as he was before now that he had a prospect, and a pixie no less, to take home. That would lift his mood, considerably, he was sure of it. "I'm a perfect gentleman. It's not my fault you're a prude, Malon." Wat shot, though not harshly, not entirely. He smiled, a bit tightly, to Sage, "I'm Wat Fletcher. The acting teacher."
Sage
: Sage looked between the two of them, laughing lightly. "It is nice to meet you, Mr. Wat. Acting teacher? That must be really fun, I haven't seen a lot of movies, but the ones I have are great. And I have friends that are into acting."
Malon
: "Oh how insulting of you Mr. Wat to be sooo rude." He sticks out his tongue switching positions to lay on his back and kicking his feet on the armrest of the couch vibing to his own music.
Wat
: "Haven't you ever seen a play?" Wat looked curious, unable to help the slight snobbish air his question possessed. He smirked slightly at Malon's remark, already his mood lifting ever so slowly. He continued speaking to Sage, "You ought to come to the next play we do. Or even audition if you'd like. Though, we're going to do Shakespeare for the summer if GRace and I can get together and decide on which play..."
Malon
: "Dont do Romeo and Juliet please that one is overdone too many times." Malon waves his hand in the air finishing his whiskey before getting up and walking back to the bar for a refill.
Sage
: "I've been in plays, but they were sex plays and I was the only person in them, so maybe that doesn't count. I've seen plays in Paris before, and there was a Christmas one last year." He said taking a seat on the floor in front of the sofa. "I like Shakespeare. Hamlet is my favorite," he said.
Wat
: "This isn't high school literature class," Wat chuckled a little at Malon's quite right complaint. His eye brows shot up at Sage's mention of 'one man sex plays' and he turned his full attention to the pixie. Who was looking more delicious by the minute. Wat followed him, sitting next to him, stretching his legs out, clad in tight black jeans and the classic black Beatles ankle boots, topped with a black Rolling Stones teeshirt. "Hamlet is my favorite too, usually. Good taste." He patted Sage's head gently in praise. "Go back, though, sex plays?"
Sage
: "Hamlet was one of the first stories I read in English. I normally read happier things, but I always go back to the play and read it dozens of times." He said drinking some of his water. "Have you seen a lot of Romeo and Juliet plays done?" He asked Malon before looking back at Wat. "Yes plays where I dress up and be different people and then have sex with my master and his friends."
Malon
: "That is a um interesting play there Sage......" Never thought it could be a real thing or was it an excuse to just fuck him around with other people. "were you okay with that?"
Wat
: "You had a master before coming here?"Wat looked down at the pixie, stroking his hair, hoping it was nothing to worry over. "How do you like the island then? Is it troubling or comforting, everything that goes on here?"
Sage
: "Yes, I had two masters before coming here. Not at the same time though." He said grinning as he touched his hair. "I didn't mind the plays, I had lines to read and it helped me learn to read and it made my master and his friends happy," He said. "I like it here. I like school and my job and lots of friends and being helpful to masters."
Wat
: Wat gave a shrug, looking to Malon, obviously not too worried over the fact if Sage seemed slright with it. At least for now. He didn't see the need to prod further about it. "Nothing wrong with a little role playing..."
Malon
: "Just a curious thing is all. But whatever makes you happy." He shrugs back sipping his whiskey feeling a bit warm all over his body.
Sage
: "I don't mind role-playing. It's nice to make other people happy and I like it. Do you both like role-playing?"
Malon
: "I uh dont like too many physical affection from people I dont know. I have a weird thing about sexual stuff, not that im opposed to it just want to do it with someone I fully trust."
Wat
: "Honey, I'm the acting teacher..." Wat chuckled and looked to Malon, shaking his head. He hadn't minded keeping his hands to himself at the time, having Malon over. But being more practical, he spoke a bit bluntly, "It would be wise to get over that sooner rather than later, dear. We're due for some magical mischief making."
Malon
: "Well when I feel comfortable around you and know you wont do anything shitty then I'll open up." He did like the vampire and how respectful he was the last time they hanged out but he still wasnt comfortable enough to expose himself just yet.
Sage
: "That's nice to want to trust someone first." Sage never had the option, and, to him, the best way to trust someone is if they are nice to him during sex. "Have you not had a lot of sex then?"
Malon
: "Its been a while........the last time I had sex besides halloween was back home and it didnt end too well." Malon got quiet remembering his home and frowning to himself. "I dont mind some touching but not sexual."
Wat
: "Malon, I'm not being bitchy just because..." Wat gave a shrug, "It'll save you some trauma in the long run not to put so much... emotional weight into sex. Especially here." Wat's fingers trailing through Sage's hair casually.
Sage
: "Touching like hand-holding?" He asked. "Are you very young? I like sex and don't mind having sex with people that aren't close with me, but I do like sex more when it's with a friend. I have a friend that I like sleeping with, he is very nice."
Malon
: "Holding hands is fine. And im not too young for a elf I am over 400 years old. And I know I shouldnt be picky but I like to have that option open at least.......and some control." He sat up now resting his elbows on his knees looking down at the floor. "I know not everyone is bad here and can build the trust but............its hard to trust people with power with something so intimate."
Wat
: "Sex can also just be an outlet, Malon... Something to take pleasure in. Be a little hedonistic and not... intimate at all, actually. Would that be so bad?" Wat took a sip of his drink, fingers still playing with Sage's hair, then spoke to the pixie, "Sage, why not sit up here next to me?"
Wilder
(Ashley) joined the chat 7 days ago
Sage
: "400 is not that old, Elves have long life spans. You could feel differently in the future. I don't like control, it's too much, and I fear I'll mess something up, though when it comes to work, I don't mind a little bit," He said before nodding at Wat, moving to sit next to him.
Wilder
: (Hello!)
Sage
: (Hello, we are in the loung)
Wilder
: (Thank you!)
Sage
: (should I go get popcorn?)
Wat
: (LOL perfect timing)
Malon
: (lmao XD)
Wilder
: Wilder hadn’t been to the lounge in a little while, not since finishing his house, so after putting on his jandals and walking to the school, he made his way to the lounge, stepping in and glancing around the room. “Hey all,” he said as he walked in and towards the bar to grab a beer.
Malon
: He really should get over his fear with authority and sex since here enforces that dynamic. Hearing someone come in he looks up to see Wilder waving back. "Hey there."
Sage
: (his fucking Jandals should not be a turn on)
Wilder
: (Lol they’re flip flops!)
Wat
: (LMAO, if we had a year book I want that line in it XD)
Wilder
: (No kidding! XD)
Sage
: (either way I am turned on and upset haha)
Wilder
: (That’s a fucking mood)
Wat
: Wat shifted to allow Sage to sit comfortably next to him, placing his arm around Sage and unable to help himself, took a deep inhale, catching the scent of pixie blood just under the surface. His hand rested at the back of Sage's neck, moving into his hair ever so often but mostly wanting to touch the thrum of his pulse at his neck. And then Wilder walked in... If Wat had a heart beat it would have been racing. "What's happened to your face?" Wat asked, mostly jokingly but also surprised. He hadn't seen Wild since the man had saved his beard.
Wat
: ((Is his hair still long?))
Wilder
: (I hadn’t thought about it, but you know what, no, he had a haircut!)
Sage
: Sage shivered slightly at Wat's hand on his neck but smiled at him nonetheless. "Wilder," He smiled seeing his friend. "You cut your hair, I like it,"
Wat
: ( *le gasp!* )
Wilder
: “Cheers,” Wilder smiled as he looked at Sage, glancing between him and Wat slightly before he stepped behind the bar and got himself a beer. “You may have been dead for awhile, but you know this one- it’s called shaving,” he quipped to Wat with a lazy smile, giving him a small wink. He took a sip of his beer and then glanced around at the others. “Anyone need anything?” He asked.
Wat
: "Well... you look different. I was liking the pirate/biker look." Wat gave a shrug, as if he didn't care. As if Wilder looking almost exactly like he did 40 years ago didn't strike him to his core. Having all that extra hair was at least some buffer, some aspect of change... Making things between them a little further away, almost safer.
Malon
: Malon kind of stayed on the couch thinking about what Wat had said about sex being an outlet and letting himself be more comfortable with other people. But he was still scared of having the same thing happen again if he was with someone that was abusive. But he had to take the risk right? He did it with two people before but he was super drunk and wasnt thinking back then.
Sage
: "I told him he looked like a pirate too, a very handsome pirate, but now he still looks nice," He said. "No I have water already, thank you though," Sage grinned before glancing at Malon. "Can I make you a flower crown?"
Wilder
: “I think I look rather fetching now,” Wilder said as he self consciously ran his hand through his recently cut hair. “The hair was getting a bit much while I was building my house,” he explained as he walked around the bar and walked over, flopping down on the couch- like he always did. Less of a sit and more of a collapse onto the sofa he’d picked so he could see everyone. “So what are we talking about?”
Wat
: "You built a house? I've been here... a while now and I haven't even settled on a design yet." Wat said with some astonishment. Though with Wild he should have known. "The hair looks good. You always look good... I want to talk about this house you've built."
Malon
: "Huh? Oh um ya you can make me a flower crown." He hasnt worn one in a while and it would be nice to have one right now. "Wish i can make you one too Sage."
Sage
: "We are talking about plays and sex." He said to Wilder. "You look very fetching, I'll miss braiding your hair, but I can still put nice ribbons in your hair," he said before grinning at Malon. "You don't have to make me one, I like making them for people, and you are an elf, a nice flower crown is a must. What's your favorite flower?"
Malon
: "I do like Tudor roses they are a pretty flower." He moved closer to the group especially to Sage so he can watch the pixie do the flower crown.
Wilder
: “Plays and sex- that sounds like a Wat subject all right,” Wilder grinned as he looked over at Wat and then sipped his beer. He drew a pack of cigarettes and his lighter and lit a cigarette, smiling at Wat slightly before he glanced at Sage. “I hope you’ll still make me flower crowns with the short hair,” he added before glancing at Wat again. “I built a tree house- like the kind I always talked about having,” he explained.
Wat: Wat quirked an eyebrow at Sage mentioning braiding Wilder's hair and felt a rather hard pange of jealousy he knew was completely undeserved. He felt settled, comforted by Wild's grin towards him and smiled in return, looking away from the man. He combed his fingers through Sage's hair as if some reward or apology for his own silent misgiving. "I never thought you were all that serious about it." Wat chuckled slightly, glad to be proven wrong.
Sage: Sage grabbed his bag from the floor, pulling out jars of flowers and other odd things he had. "I have a lot of roses, they are popular around here, I can make you one right now," He smiled. "I will still make you flower crowns, Wilder. You will need new ones because you have shorter hair." He assured. "Do you have a favorite color rose, Malon?" He asked before grinning at Wat when he combed his fingers through his hair. "I can make you one as well."
Malon: "My favorite color Forest Green, Royal Purple, Midnight Blue, and Silver. Those are my favorite colors and whatever flowers you have I do like all kinds of flowers."
Wilder: Wilder watched as Wat ran his fingers through Sage’s hair and found himself feeling a little self conscious again, suddenly wondering if there was something happening there. “Oh come off it,” he said as he exhaled the smoke from his light slowly. “You should know that I never joke around about the outdoors- when
Wilder: (Sorry I hit enter too quick!)
Wilder: “Even after what happened to me last time I went hiking alone, I’d never joke about living near the outdoors,” he smiled lazily at Wat before gesturing between him and Sage. “How long have you two been seeing each other?” He asked, trying to keep from sounding as jealous as he felt.
Wat: (Oh god I'm gonna make myself cry listening to youtube. Howard Jones and Nik Kershaw from like 10 years ago jamming live??? A slow version of "Wouldn't It Good"??????)
Wilder: (No cry!)
Wat: (I really gotta deep dive Nik Kershaw. He's got one of my fav voices from the 80s...)
Sage: "I can make you a crown mixed with flowers of all those colors. I've gotten really good at making crowns now. I make them at work and sell them," He said as he got to work on binding the flowers. Sage furrowed his eyebrows at wilder's words. "I've seen him a lot around school.'
Wat: Wat let his hand retract from touching Sage altogether with the mention of 'what happened last time'. But he was a little glad he did, and took a sip of his blood wine, hoping to hide whatever look of distress was racing across his face. And nearly choked on his wine. "I've only just met him." Wat said, almost dismissively. And realized that probably made things sound worse. "Thank you, Sage, but I'll decline. It would ruin my mysterious vibe."
Wat: ((Wat is wearing all black today because he was In A Mood. Black jeans, Beatles ankle boots and a Rolling Stones teeshirt))
Wilder: (Wilder is in shorts and a shirt, both matching print, monstera leaves on a yellow background)
Wat: (100% not surprised LOL)
Wilder: (It’s a vibe)
Wilder: Wilder noticed the way Sage frowned and then glanced at Wat with a small smirk. “Back to your old tricks?” He teased lightly as he took another drag from his cigarette.
Sage: "I don't think a crown would ruin your vibe, Sir. You would look very nice with one. You have a pretty face. I can make one with darker flowers if you want to match with your clothes." He suggested.
Wat: "Thank you, Sage. No... not dark flowers." Wat smiled gently to Sage, not wanting him to feel like he wasn't appreciated. He looked to Wilder, "All my tricks are old tricks. Are you seriously smoking?"
Wilder: “What are you- my mum?” Wilder asked with a scoff as he exhaled the smoke. “I smoked the first time we met,” he reminded Wat as he put out the cigarette and the finished off his beer and stood to get another one. He walked over to the bar and grabbed another bottle, moving to open the lid with his lighter, but his hand slipped and he hissed in discomfort when he realized he’d broken a nail. “Son of a bitch,” he mumbled.
Malon: Malon sips on the whiskey listening the to conversation leaning back on the chair. "I feel like I am watching a novela right now."
Sage: "If you change your mind, let me know, sir," Sage said as he watched the two of them, finishing off Malon's flower crown. "Here you go, Malon. I hope it is fitting for an elf," he said before looking at Wilder. "Are you okay? do you need a bandage?"
Wat: "It's terrible for you..." Wat chided, looking over in more concern than befitted a teacher looking over at a colleague when Wild hissed and cursed. He ignored Malon's comment, but the man wasn't wrong. He should probably quietly reschedule with Sage before things got any more awkward.
Wilder: “No it’s just a broken nail,” he commented as he looked at his nail and then to the others with a shrug and a smile. “Anyone got a knife?” He asked as he opened his beer with a bottle opener rather than a lighter- he had definitely been trying to show off a little, for who, he didn’t know, but he had definitely been trying to show off.
Wat: "Yes, what did you even do?" Wat got up, touching Sage's shoulder briefly, as if he need not be too concerned and pulled his trusty utility knife from his pocket. One he'd kept for 40 years and now handed over to Wilder without a second thought. Falling back into old habits, into old motions, old routines. Being concerned when the handyman of the pair hurt himself...
Wat: ((I'm about to leave to go to bed so here's your novela moment, Ash XD))
Wilder: “I don’t know,” Wilder laughed as he looked at his thumbnail and showed it to Wat with a chuckle. “Just broke it, I’m just going to cut off the hangnail it gave me,” he explained as he held his hand out to accept the knife that Wat was pulling from his pocket.
Malon: ((*le gasp* next time on The Love Triangle of Heart Breaks, Will Wat ever get Sage to himself? Will Wilder accept that Sage will be with other people? next week you will find out~!))
Wilder: (Lol Wilder and Wat are exes)
Malon: ((EVEN BETTER))
Sage: (HAHAH)
Wat: (LMAO PLOT TWIST!)
Malon: ((will the exes get over their heart break? Is there love still between the two? Can Sage heal their hearts!? WILL ANYONE FIND TRUE LOVE))
Wat: ((Not me listening to "Only You" by Yazoo on repeat thru various covers as a soundtrack here...))
Sage: (will we ever find out how Wilder cut himself?!?!?!)
Malon: ((NEXT WEEK ON LOVE TRIANGLE OF HEART BREAK))
Wilder: (Y’all ready for some drama? Lol)
Sage: (always)
Malon: (I LIVE for the drama~ and poor Malon is just the live audience in this novela lol)
Wat: Wat gave a small chuckle, shaking his head and set his glass down after taking a last swig on the bar. Wat set the knife in Wild's hand, only realizing exactly what he had done the moment his grip loosened on the item. He drew his hand away. It was too late now. The weight of Wild's beloved knife, given to him by his step father, stolen, technically, 40 years ago when Wat had left him. As something to remember his lover by. As cowardly a move as leaving him, taking something that important... He took a step back. If he had breath, it would have hitched...
Wilder: Wilder’s fingers brushed Wat’s cool ones as he took the knife, still smiling at the vampire lightly before he glanced down at the knife in his hand and his face fell. “Are you fucking kidding me?” He asked, trying not to let his voice shake with the betrayal he was feeling. “You’ve had it this whole time? Do you know how long I’ve looked for this bloody knife? It was my dad’s you know that don’t you you prick?” He demanded as his hand closed around the knife and he held it to his chest. “It’s not enough, you just taking off- but you know, I was almost ready to look past that- but this?!” He demanded, staring at the other as if he was seeing him differently for the first time in forty years. “I can’t fucking believe you.”
Malon: Malon moved to a chair crossing his legs to watch the whole thing go down. "Thank you Sage for the flower crown its perfect and whoa I didnt know there was drama with these two....."
Wilder: (Have none of you ever broken a nail on a beer bottle cap? Am I the only disaster lush in this group? Lol)
Sage: Sage smiled at Malon. "I am happy you liked it, and I thought there was something about them, Thought they were friends," he frowned.
Sage: (You are in fact, a lush hahaha. I have never had a beer)
Wilder: (I know I’m a lush, I fully accept that)
Wat: This was what Wat had been waiting for. The anger he deserved. He didn't expect the catalyst to be a knife, but in a way, he should've. One more horrible deed added to the pile. One more better than the truth of the situation. Wat knew he was fooling himself. This couldn't be fixed. Even if Wild forgave him for taking the knife, it wasn't the only thing and it was far from the worst. Of course he wouldn't. And that look Wild gave him, it was the same look he'd given before Wat had made him forget... Wat took another step back, eyes wide with hurt and shame from the situation. There was no apology good enough. So he didn't even try. One last step backwards and Wat's vampire form warped into small brown bat with a flair of light smoke, flapping towards the nearest open window and making his escape.
Wat: ((Nighty night!! 💗 ))
Wilder: (It begins)
Sage: (I have to dip out as well, it is 3:44 in the morning.)
Wilder: Wilder stood there, staring at Wat before scowling as the other turned into a bat and took off. He held the knife to his chest a little tighter, feeling tears form in his eyes- not for the first time in the past forty years, but definitely in a much more intense way than he had been expecting. “I- I’m sorry,” he gasped to Malon and Sage. “I didn’t mean to ruin your night,” he wiped clumsily as his eyes, trying to hide the tears, the betrayal, the desertion, all feeling very fresh again, like it was happening all over again, and it hurt all over again. “I’m sorry,”
Sage: (oi I have to reply to Wilder real quick)
Wilder: (Lol okay!)
Sage: Sage was confused as one moment the two were talking, then yelling and Wat turned into a bat and left. Getting up from his seat he made his way over Wilder. "Hey, hey. Are you okay? You didn't ruin anything. Do you want a snack? something to drink. You are sad." He frowned, hugging him.
Wilder: Wilder chuckled softly at Sage’s rapid fire questions, hugging him back after a moment and resting his forehead against Sage’s temple lightly before he let out a sigh. “That vampire? He’s my ex- and he left me after I was turned, and for forty years I have acted like I understood- and like it didn’t bother me- but it did,” he admitted to the two. “And my life has been shit since then, since I was changed, since the man I thought loved me turned his back on me- and then I came here, and he was here, and I thought maybe it was a sign that we could get past it- try again or something,” he let out a soft humorless chuckle before shaking his head. “But then I find out- he’s just as selfish as ever- this was the only thing I had left after my dad died,” he explained as he held the knife in his palm tightly. “And I’ve been looking for it for forty years. And he knew how much it meant to me,” he explained as he looked at the knife in his hand, the pain from his broken nail overwhelmed by the pain of the betrayal all over again. “It’s like being punched in the gut when you realize the people you thought you could love again don’t care for you at all,” he explained softly. “Be careful around him Sage- all he does is hurt people.”
Malon: Listening to the conversation and the warning Malon felt something in his stomach. "he isnt all bad......" He argued speaking up for the first time. "He was good to me when I hanged out with him alone. He didnt force himself onto me when I told him I have trust issues.......but thanks for the warning."
Sage: Sage frowned. "Maybe he kept it because he missed you?" He said softly, running his fingers through Wilder's shorter hair. "He shouldn't have taken it, and what he did was mean and not nice you don't do that to people you love, and turning into a bat and leaving was mean as well. I'm upset that he made you cry, I will make him a flower crown with lost of thorns in it."
Sage: (okay, I have go now)
Sage left the chat 6 days ago
Wilder: “Yeah, that’s fine,” Wilder said as he looked at Malon, still feeling particularly bitter. “Just don’t get too close to him, because next thing you know, you’ll be in love, planning a future together, talking about a family- and then he’ll just take off at the first thing that inconvenience him,” Wilder said humorlessly before smiling softly at Sage. “Thanks,” he mumbled and then sighed. “Malon, do whatever you like, but that prick running off again, that’s all he does. He gets you attached and then he leaves.” He said as he stared down at the knife, running his thumb over it. “Let him go, he’s a fucking coward,” he said before he turned and grabbed a bottle of whiskey from the shelf and poured himself a shot. He took it quickly and then hissed in discomfort. “Fuck him,” he said simply.
Cherry and Dhani recover from Daisy’s disappointment and breakup in the lounge. Malon comes in and Dhani gets another text order to attempt to have sex with someone he doesn’t know. Jace comes in and helps restrain Dhani. Lily gets clued in on all the confusion. Murad has been trying his best to resist his orders. More people join, more chaos ensues.
During Tech Is King event, slaves have to do whatever text orders are given.
Cherry/Dhani: "Hold still," Cherry spoke quietly, wearing Dhani's zipper hoodie around her like an extremely short dress. She held a tea towel to the cuts on Dhani's face. Daisy had smacked him so hard her nails had broken skin. Dhani had finished crying, feeling numb and nursing a glass of whisky with ice. They had come into the lounge after Daisy had publicly broken up with Dhani infront of three of his friends, and Daisy's friends, saying how disappointed she was in the rest of them. But everything Daisy had said to Dhani he felt he deserved and Cherry was sure Daisy had somehow found out she had seen Daisy's father's death.
Malon: Getting used to the island Malon went to the lounge to see if he could find more people to interact. He has been helping with Booker with the tavern ever since he came to the island and really loves working with Booker. Walking through the doors he saw Cherry and a new face but the energy in the room was not good. "Whoa there buddy you look like you came out of a fight. What happened?" He asked as he walks up to the two taking a seat near them.
Cherry/Dhani: Cherry glanced to Malon, obviously worried about anyone who was walking in. Dhani shook his head and Cherry answered for him, "Nothing. It's not a big deal." Dhani glanced over to Malon, taking the towel from his face handing it to Cherry, not bleeding anymore. He moved over to the other man, taking his face in his hands and kissing him square on the mouth. Cherry blushed and took a deep breath. Things were incredibly weird today.
Malon: Malon was taken aback of what the hell was going. Cherry said it wasnt a big deal but this guy just came up and kissed him on the lips! Trying not to be rude he kind of let the guy kiss him seeing his face a bit more clearly. He got some nice scratches on his face so he could only guess he got in a fight indeed with someone. Maybe a girl? He puts his hands on Dhani's shoulders and gently pushes him back breaking the kiss. "So something is wrong if your just kissing some random dude who you just met five seconds ago. But I wont judge."
Cherry/Dhani: "Yeah, something." Dhani looked embarrassed, and a bit relieved that Malon had moved him away. Dhani sat back down and sipped at his whisky. Cherry gave a heavy sigh, "There's... something magical going on." She put her arm around Dhani, knowing how incredibly awful he felt, but also not wanting to be left alone.
Malon: "Oh thats why the air feels different. Whats going on?" He asked staying in place from his seat looking at Dhani before looking at Cherry.
Cherry/Dhani: "Command magic again. This time text orders. Sorry, for kissing you. I literally couldn't help myself." Dhani shook his head and took a bigger gulp of his whisky before getting up to go to the bar. Dhani asked, "You guys want anything?" Cherry nodded, awkwardly pulling the hoodie down to cover herself sitting on the couch, "Just a coke is fine." Dhani looked to Malon, "Sorry... I'm Dhani, by the way."
Malon/Dougal: "Malon Savaris, nice to meet you Dhani. And i'll have rum and coke please thanks." He looks over at Cherry now realizing she is just wearing a hoodie. "Did you get roped into that 'command magic' thing too?"
Cherry/Dhani: "Go to class naked," Cherry lamented, "But classes don't start back for another week so... I think I'm gonna wake up every day going out with no clothes. I don't know how long this'll work. And I offered a friend a blow job yesterday." Dhani busied himself making their drinks and came back to the couch. Instead of sitting down where he was before, Dhani set down his drink and checked his phone as it buzzed. He put the phone down on the coffee table and moved to kiss Malon again, straddling him on the couch.
Malon/Dougal: Before Malon could say his thanks he felt the lips on him once more but this time the other man was straddling his hips. Malon, again, gently pushes on Dhani's shoulders breaking the kiss. "What did the demand say now?"
Cherry/Dhani: Dhani's eyes were already red from crying earlier in the day and welled up again. He was glad the other man was stronger than him but it didn't stop his hands from trying to touch him. "Try and have sex with the first person you don't know." He swallowed hard, shaking his head, "I'm sorry. I don't know what to do."
Malon/Dougal: "Jeez some of these people have a sick sense of humor." Malon sighs as he grabs Dhani's hands holding them away from his body. "Define sex because that could mean a lot of things. Your cute and all but I dont do sex without a date first but I dont mind kissing or even a blow job if that would count as sex." He was not liking this what so ever, is this what he has to deal with until he graduates? He was not going to enjoy this......but he has no choice.
Jace.: Jace made it through the door purely because he was good at flying, practically corkscrewing onto the bar and skidding along it’s length. He managed to avoid falling off the other end, and then let out a triumphant little screech, sitting up on his hind legs and looking pleased with himself.
Cherry/Dhani: Dhani breathed heavily, shaking his head, "I don't know... They didn't say so..." He shrugged unhelpful and Cherry chewed her lip, "What if we tied him up? Then he couldn't, right?" Dhani didn't think it would work, looking over to the lounge door as the dragon crashed into the bar.
Malon/Dougal: "Ya I think tying him up will be a good idea. Sorry man but this is for your own good. Is there any rope in this lounge or some kind of long sheet?" He looks up to see a dragon landing in the bar raising a brow. "This is getting weirder and weirder......"
Jace.: “I have rope!” Jace usually either vocalised or pushed his translated thoughts, but tonight that wasn’t the case. He crouched, and took a flying leap to the back of the sofa, overshot and fell to the floor, but seemed unharmed, rolling upright again. “In my room. Not here. I can rip up the curtains though!” He offered a paw, and unsheathed his claws, before glancing curiously at Dhani. “Why are we tying you up? And hello person I don’t know! I am Jace!” He took that moment to hiccup a tiny gout of flame, and then chirped, innocently.
Malon/Dougal: "Um hi Im Malon nice to meet you. Um if its too much could you make strips from the curtains?"
Cherry/Dhani: "I think I might keep trying... Unless someone else comes in I don't know?" Dhani shrugged and nodded towards the bar, "There's some tea towels I guess?" Dhani was struggling against Malon a little. Cherry yelped as Jace flew over the couch, crash landing again, "Dhani's under a spell-- I mean all the slaves are, but he can't stop himself from trying to have sex with Malon-- or technically someone he doesn't know.”
Jace.: Jace blinked at Dhani again, and then hopped into his lap, rubbing up against him like a kitten. “You guys don’t wanna have sex?” He looked between them, a little confused, clearly. “I can make strips if you want that instead of sex?”
Cherry/Dhani: Dhani looked close to crying but was glad to see Jace and relaxed a little bit seeing the hyperactive Jace. He nodded, tired and sad, a bad looking few scratches on his cheek from Daisy's nails. "I'm not exactly in the mood, but my body wants differently. It's just... Well, Malon doesn't know me or want it, so... I'm glad to see you, Jace. That's Cherry over there. Daisy's.... Daisy's cousin." The blond girl in Dhani's zip up hoodie waved timidly at the dragon and got up, trying her best to keep the hoodie from riding up, naked underneath, "I'll help you."
Malon/Dougal "Okay too many people are on my lap and its hurting. Please grab the towels in the bar Jace?" He asked as he keeps Dhani's hands away from him. "And please hurry though i dont know how much longer i can hold Dhani's hands."
Lily: Lily had looked all over the place for Daisy, after she ran from the beach earlier she seemed to have disappeared. Her eyes were red from crying and they scanned the lounge until they landed on Cherry and Dhani, and then taking in the whole scene. " Is.. everything okay?"
Malon/Dougal: "Yes and no? Dhani got the command to have sex with someone he doesnt know, which is me at the moment, and I really dont want to force the guy to fuck me so could you help me of keeping him off of me please?"
Jace.: Jace nodded, leaning up to briefly lick at the scratch on Dhani’s cheek, before eyeing up the curtains. He took a moment to focus, and then leaped, attaching himself at the top, and allowing himself to slide down, ripping them into three long strips. He scrabbled up them again, biting the top, and chucking them to Cherry, before repeating, this time plopping to the floor, on his back, looking at them upside down. “Do you know how to tie someone up?”
Cherry/Dhani: Dhani winced a little at Jace's lick, though he knew the dragon was only trying to make him feel better. "I'm sorry," Dhani gasped softly, breaking free of Malon's grasp and kissed the man again, his hands pawing at Malon's waistband, still stradling the man. Cherry looked a bit overwhelmed and shook her head, helping Jace rip up the curtians, "I can tie a good knot but... I don't know. I don't want to hurt him."
Jace.: Jace huffed softly, and then transformed, rolling onto his front and getting up. “Hands.” He explained, grinning at Cherry, before moving over to the sofa. He was naked himself, but didn’t seem to care, sitting beside Dhani and running his hands over his shoulders and down his arms, pressing an almost absent-minded kiss to the corner of his neck, before drawing his hands behind him. “Island full of kinky people and you don’t know how to tie someone up properly” he chuckled, holding out one hand for a tie, the other pinning both of Dhani’s wrists with the iron strength of a warrior.
Lily: Lily frowned moving to the group. " Do we really think tying him up is necessary? "She questioned, though she has never seen Dhani like this before. " Commanded? who commanded him to do this? She asked watching the naked man like a hawk to make sure he didn't hurt Dhani.
Cherry/Dhani: Cherry offered her hands to help Jace up and blushed, looking away, realizing he was naked. But so was she under Dhani's hoodie. She felt bad for Dhani, hearing him sniffle and slump with relief and defeat. Cherry shook her head, answering Jace, "I'm new." She looked to Lily, "He got a anonymous text. Lils, I'm not wearing nothin' for my own amusement, you know..."
Malon/Dougal: "Its through text message I guess? Im new here so I dont know whats going on to be honest."
Murad: Murad made his way into the room, quite legitimately shivering and shaking as he shoved his phone into his pocket. The image was most assuredly not one anyone who knew Murad would be used to. He looked a bit lost, a bit dazed, clearly under yet another Island spell. He looked up at everyone and then blinked, clearing his throat. "Lots of uh... naked people..." He tried to find his sense of humor but couldn't quite grasp it.
Cherry/Dhani: (Technically only Jace is naked but Cherry is nearly, just wearing Dhani's hoodie wrapped around her like a dress. Dhani is in his swim trunks tho I forgot to say)
Jace.: Jace shrugged, taking a tie and deftly wrapping Dhani’s wrists, pressing another little kiss behind his ear as he did so. “He can’t stop himself but they don’t want it to happen so unless you feel like holding onto him all night, this is what we’re doing.” He shifted a little, kneeling down so he could check the tie, knotting around all the loops so it wouldn’t tighten on itself and cut off circulation. “Not too tight?” He asked, securing the knot and brushing a hand over his friend’s back, shifting back around so he could see Dhani’s face, glancing over at the newcomer briefly.
Lily: " I'm sorry, Cherry, neither one of you deserves this. " She said squeezing her arm softly. Maybe this had something to do with Daisy's behavior earlier, she made a note to check in with all her slave friends. She looked when someone else came into the room. " Umm, Hello."
Murad: Murad waved a tiny bit, lifting his hand quickly, before immediately moving for the bar, "I need a drink... badly. All of it."
Cherry/Dhani: "It's okay," Dhani nodded, but he didn't move off of Malon's lap. He took a breath, "I think you have to move me, my body still wants to... you know, try, I guess." Cherry bit her lip again, taking Lily's hand and squeezing it, then looking to Murad and noticing his rather dazed look. She moved to his side at the bar, "You look ill, honey. I'll get you a drink, don't worry. Just... take it easy."
Murad: Muard nodded, and then sat down at the bar, "I uh... will this like text curse thing like... kill us if we don't follow it? It probably will, right?"
Malon/Dougal: "Okay." Malon picks Dhani up by the ass being quite strong despite how slim his body was. He goes over to another chair and puts him down. "Can i get another strip to tie his legs."
Jace.: “Hold up.” Jace headed over to the chair, and lifted Dhani easily, scooping him up and sitting, settling him on his own lap, wrapping his arms around him, loosely but ready to grab him if he was compelled to escape. “Weird stuff like this happens all the time. I was Stitch at Hallowe’en! From the Disney movie! And almost a hot dog! I don’t know if it will kill you but...” he frowned, looking at Dhani. “If you feel like you’re gonna die, tell me, okay?”
Cherry/Dhani: "Please," Dhani nodded, noticably hard and incredibly embarrassed as Malon suggested tying his legs. He looked sweaty and exhausted already. Cherry looked worried, putting a hand on Murad's shoulder, "I don't... they couldn't. Lily, they can't, right?"
Lily: Lily smiled at Cherry, watching as she moved to the man that entered the room, before turning her attention back to Dhani, moving with the naked man to stay close to him. " What? No of course they aren't going to kill you." She said even if she wasn
Murad: Murad shrugged, "Well fuck, how do I even get my hands on a whip? I'm not a Master..." He sighed then looked to Dhani, "Why is he being tied up?"
Malon/Dougal: "because one of his commands is to have sex with a stranger aka me."
Jace.: “I have a whip!” Jace offered to Murad, over Dhani’s shoulder, nuzzling it as he did. “What do you have to do? I don’t think they would kill you. I think you’re just gonna feel like you have to until... either until it ends, or until you do it? Not sure.” He shrugged, and shifted to wrap one arm around Dhani, the other moving to trail up and down his back, gently.
Cherry/Dhani: Cherry poured Murad a rum and cherry coke, mostly rum and sat next to him, hoping to help calm him down a bit. "Just... try to think of something else, okay?" Cherry took a deep breath, "I have to get three vampires to bite me... I'm not looking forward to it." Dhani looked a little more relaxed, tilting his head towards Jace as the dragon, in naked human form, tried to sooth him, "I've had a shitty day, Jace. Thank you."
Murad: Murad winced at Jace's comment, "I was really hoping no one would have one..." He felt his hands shaking a bit and looked down at this hands, smiling at Cherry at the offered drink, "I have to... whip three of my friends until they're bleeding. I'm not entirely sure I have three friends..." he glanced to Jace, the spell really compelling him, "Is it... possible to borrow that tool of yours?"
Anderson: Anderson wished he wanted to throw his phone in the ocean he wanted to act as if he didn't read the messages or that he day from hell didn't happen, yet he didn't go home, he went to the lounge, he wasn't sure why, maybe another message he didn't remember. He ignored everyone, trying to be invisible as he walked in, moving to make himself a drink.
Cherry/Dhani: "I'm your friend, Murad," Dhani said, though it was clear he was trying to be brave about it. / Cherry's eyes filled with tears, rubbing Murad's back. What if them not carrying out their order would hurt them? Or just make things worse? "Me too, hon... We won't be mad. And it's just until we start bleeding so that just might be one time, right?"
Lily: " I wish there was something I could do, something to help you both, all of you." She said looking from Cherry, Dhani, and Murad.
Malon/Dougal: Finally feeling free he takes his glass he chucks the drink before going to the bar to make another one. Seeing a new face he looks over at Andy giving him a nod. "You participating in this 'command magic' thing?"
Jace.: Jace purred softly, nibbling at Dhani’s shoulder, a playful, gentle motion, the hand pinning him moving to his chest - still more than ready to grab him if he lunged for Malon, but now having his own fun. “I can tell.” His eyes shifted to Murad, considering. “Hmmm. I suppose you could... but if I said it was my own whip not for anyone else then I guess you would have to find another... and that might take a while... maybe the spell would end first. So I will say... yes you can borrow it, but not yet. And if you do,” he nodded to Cherry. “I can help you make it quick. Plus we’re friends now! And I happen to like being whipped so it is both fine and totally counts.” He grinned. “Unless it was specific friends, I suppose.”
Murad: Murad sighed, "Dhani, I wish you and I had ours switched. I'd totally let you whip me, and I'd be all for having sex with anyone of you people I've never met before..." He took a long drink from his, then glanced to Jace and grinned, "I suppose that would work... yea."
Anderson: Andy looked up when someone spoke to him. " I am a slave." He stated quietly, making himself a drink.
Malon/Dougal: "Right.....sorry. Im a slave too still getting used to the idea to be honest." He chuckles softly as he makes himself a rum and coke drink again.
Cherry/Dhani: Cherry looked a little confused by Jace's logic, first helping them and then... not. But what choice did any of him have? / Dhani took deep breath, trying to will himself not to be so damn horny but it wasn't working. "I don't mind anonymous sex... Just with people who want it too... And not in public." / Cherry shook her head, "I've never been bitten by a vampire before. Let alone three right after another. It sounds... dangerous." She sniffled, "Lily... you're a mistress. You could order us not to or something?"
Lily: " Would that work? Me stopping all of our commands?" She would do it in a heartbeat, but could it be that simple, she hoped and wished it would be even if that meant punishment for herself.
Jace.: Jace winked at Murad, glad the other had caught on quickly. His species were known for being more than a little pedantic, and loopholes were something he was an expert at, especially here. He kissed Dhani’s shoulder again, murmuring so only he could here. “Want me to take care of this?” His hand strayed to Dhani’s stomach, but no lower, his meaning clear, before looking at Lily. “It might... or it might not. And even if it does, making things easier for slaves works out badly for whoever tries and often for the slaves too. Risk it at your own... risk.” He frowned, and then chuckled to himself.
Murad/Liam: The door opened a moment later, and Liam slowly made his way inside. Heavily booted-footfalls announcing his arrival even before the door opened. Pair of worn, dust-covered jeans, and signature faded flannel shirt, that announced the work-centric mentality of the older berserker. The large male shut the door behind him, looking up between them all, whip hanging off his belt to one side, knife on the other side of his belt. The guard raising a brow as he looked around, "Well isn't this a sight?"
Anderson: Anderson nodded, " Yes it is something to wrap your head around. Have you had any commands?"
Cherry/Dhani: "No," Dhani said breathless, quickly, and spoke quietly just for Jace to hear, "If there weren't so many people..." Dhani was never really a fan of public sex which made all of this even more awkward. / Cherry gasped, seeing Liam walk in, obviously afraid for Murad now, "Speak of the devil," she muttered.
Malon/Dougal: "No I havent, Im not sure why but maybe since Im new I have to watch to understand the rules or something?"
Jace.: Jace nodded, and nuzzled into his neck gently, before glancing over at the bar. “If somebody could bring me the bottle that should be... black and... hopefully still bottom right... saying do not drink?” The special mead he usually kept there - pretty toxic to humans but one of the few things that could get a dragon drunk. “I would appreciate it!” He glanced at Malon. “Maybe cus you don’t know many people yet, nobody wanted to pick on you yet.”
Murad/Liam: Murad took a long drink, then looked up at the guard then slammed his head into the counter. / Liam looked around, then chuckled at the reaction, "Ah, I see. Trying to get out of your punishments..." He glanced towards Dhani, "Interesting look for you. This a text spell thing or are you just particularly kinky today?" He glanced then towards Jace, "Seems you're not the only one ordered to walk around naked. These Masters and Mistresses need to get creative..." He then began to make his way for the bar, "Whiskey please, whoever cares to pour one..."
Anderson: " Well consider yourself lucky, the things people are being force to do is horrible." He said feeling his head shake slightly thinking about it. " How long have you been here?"
Lily: Lily watched the guard walk and the reaction they had to him and moved to the bar. " I'll pour your drink for you." She said with a sickly sweet smile.
Malon/Dougal: "For only a month. I havent talked to many people but I have made one good friend and found a job surprisingly. But what about you? How long have you been here?"
Jace.: Jace stuck his tongue out at Liam. “I wasn’t ordered to! I just like it. And also I was scaly two minutes ago and I didn’t bring clothes. And also? Clothes are the worst.” He kept his hand rubbing over Dhani’s back, massaging rather than just stroking, the movement instinctive, second nature almost.
Cherry/Dhani: Cherry yelped as Murad slammed his head, her own hands shaking now and grabbed his shoulders, though she wasn't sure how to help. She touched his head gently. / Dhani eyed the whip on Liam's belt. He took a deep breath, "Jace, maybe... kiss me. Maybe that'll help?"
Murad/Liam: Murad shook his head, "I'm fine, I just... can't possibly believe my luck. I'm never owning a phone again when I leave this Island." He then sat up and looked at Cherry, "That actually did kind of hurt." / Liam noted Jace and shrugged, "To each their own I guess. So... who's going to get me my whiskey? Or do I have to actually do my job?"
Anderson: " I've been here for a few years now, somethings it feel like this place isn't bad at all, and then things like this happen and it sucks." He said shaking his head.
Malon/Dougal: "I see so this is a reoccurring thing on this island? Jeez I am so looking forward of 'participating' in these things...........so are all masters mean and cruel?"
Cherry/Dhani: "It won't be like this off the island... but just try not to say anything. Don't look at him," Cherry took Murad's face in her hands, a few tears falling, even though she smiled at him. "Just... try not to think about it. Talk to me."
Jace.: Jace stood up, and placed Dhani in the chair, careful of his bound hands behind him. He straddled his lap - shielding him from view as best he could, and cupped his jaw, just letting his eyes bore into the slight human’s, before leaning in to kiss him, the dragon’s own skin feverishly hot, as usual. He lingered for a moment, before pulling back. “Did it help?”
Lily: Lily poured a drink for the guard, offering it to him. " Here drink." She said, moving to her cousin's side sticking close to her.
Anderson: " Yes this is a reoccurring thing that happen too often for my liking, though I wish it wouldn't happen at all." He downed his drink grabbing a bottle from the shelf. " No they aren't all like that, my boyfriend is a Professor, he is one of the best on the Island, very sweet, and I have a few other friends that are masters that are sweet as well."
Cherry/Dhani: Dhani didn't expect Jace to straddle him, but he probably should have known better. He groaned softly into the kiss, practically whimpering and shook his head, his body still aching and desperate for some stranger to fuck. And now there was another guy he didn't know. He kissed Jace again, a bit desperate. "Gag me or I'm about to say some really embarrassing stuff in a minute."
Malon/Dougal: "Oh I see thats good to know. So did you have any commands you gotta do?" He wasnt sure if he could help though if it didnt involve sex or blood he is up for anything pretty much.
Murad/Liam: Liam chuckled as the drink was poured and took a long sip, then finally cleared his throat, "I'm not here to force any of you to follow your orders. The spell will take care of that. I'm just on the clock and needed a drink..." He glanced towards them all, then towards Dhani, "Why the fuck are you tied up?"
Anderson: " I have to get a tattoo, but I am lucky that the place is closed, and as far as I know there is no one else around that can give me one." All the people he knew that could give him a tattoo were lucky gone and he could try to hold off as long as possible. " It is fairly simple."
Murad/Liam: Murad glanced to Cherry and nodded, "Right, well, okay... I guess--why are you crying? Are you okay? I'm sorry, I wasn't even paying attention--what are you ordered to do?"
Jace.: Before Dhani could answer, Jace shoved a strip of curtain into his mouth, and bit his shoulder. “Because I want him to be.” He grinned, and ruffled his friend’s hair. “He wriggles less this way. Makes less of a nuisance of himself.” He winked at the guard, slipping into his part as possessive Master effortlessly.
Malon/Dougal: "Well getting a tattoo isnt all that bad. If your getting one might as well make it a memorable one right? Maybe have it resemble you and your boyfriend? Make the most out of it you know?"
Cherry/Dhani: "I need--" Dhani started before Jace cut him off. He didn't try and speak much more. / "I'm okay. I'm just scared." Cherry shook her head, and stroked Murad's hair, worried for the faint welt on his forehead. "Three vampires have to drink from me. I can't eat or drink or rest in between them..."
Murad/Liam: Liam rolled his eyes. He actually liked Dhani, was legitimately curious, but he supposed the distrust was definitely earned at times like this. He took another drink of his whiskey, leaning back against the counter, "Right." He clearly didn't believe Jace, but he didn't care too much about it, "If you're trying to keep him from his order, do know the longer he goes the worse it gets... and I don't even know what their plans are if people don't follow their orders, but assume it'll be bad. Worse, even."
Anderson: " No it isn't bad, I always wanted to get more tattoos, but I never got around to it, but now I am forced to get one, it can't be my choice, a master has to chose it for me. But asking my boyfriend is smart." He said wondering why he didn't think of it. He froze for a moment when someone mentioned vampires and drinking. His attention snapped to the blonde slave, only now realizing how hungry he was.
Murad/Liam: Murad lifted a finger to brush a tear out of Cherry's eyes, "You'll be fine, I'm sure of it. Just find some trustworthy ones?" He found himself glancing back towards the whip, his hand shaking a bit.
James D/Orion: Orion walked into the lounge to get a drink still naked from the stupid magic garbage on his phone and was shocked to see so many people around making him more self conscious as he went straight to the bar.
Jace.: Jace gave Liam a calculating look, one that would seem oddly cold from the dragon, had the only person who actually knew him seen it. He shrugged, though. “I guess it will be. Usually is. But if people wanna take the punishment rather than obey the commands, that’s what they want, right?” He grazed his teeth over Dhani’s shoulder again, and then leaned back. “I’ll be two seconds.” He almost moved to do a backflip, and transformed midair, shooting between people’s heads and behind the bar, landing a little awkwardly in the confined space and scrabbling to find his alcohol.
Cherry/Dhani: "I don't know any vampires." Cherry shook her head and seeing Murad's gaze move to Liam's whip again, she squeezed his hand, moving to hold it. She spoke quietly, not wanting Liam to overhear. "Try thinking of a song. Don't look at it."
James D/Orion: James walked in in time to see a tiny dragon and laughed. "Holy shit baby dragon is back when did that happen?"
Evelyn: What a crazy day.. Evie felt terrible for the grant students and wished she could do more to help. She’d stayed home most of the day but feeling the need for a drink, she headed to the lounge that evening. Surely it would be all but empty with everything going on. Boy was she wrong... Pausing in the doorway, she silently observed the scene with wide eyes.
Murad/Liam: Liam glanced towards the newcomer, who was also naked and shook his head, "Fucking hell. Might as well send out a massive text and tell all you fuckers to be naked. Laundry would be light..." He then noted Jace, shrugging, "Listen, Son, I don't really care, just offering you some advice on the stuff." Then blinked seeing Evie popping into the doorway, waving around to all the others, "Welcome, Love. You get used to it."
Malon/Dougal: "Ya talk to your boyfriend and make something special." He gave the other boy a smile as he hears the door seeing a familiar face. "Oh hey Eve! Welcome to the chaos please join we got drinks over here I'll make you a strong one."
Lily: Lily glanced up as more people came into the lounge. She had never seen so many people in the lounge and she wondered if it had a lot to do with the commands of the slaves. " It doesn't hurt to be fed on Cherry." She said softly.
Murad/Liam: Murad glanced quickly back towards Cherry at her grasp to his hand, "If I pretended to be narcissistic and whipped myself... would that work?" He then blinked a couple of times, "A song? Oh uh.. I heard this really good song the other day. It's been stuck in my head for like DAYS."
Anderson: Anderson nodded, half listening to his new friend, mostly staring at Cherry now. but he fed enough today he wasn't even sure if Elijah was alive after he left him.
Jace.: Jace lugged the bottle up onto the bar, chirping a greeting at James. “A week! Maybe two. I’m back!” He turned his attention back to Liam. “I’m not exactly new here. I’m also old enough to be all of your fathers. Or great grandfathers. Or great...” he grabbed the neck of the bottle in his claws, and inhaled, before releasing a small but very concentrated blast of heat to melt the wax sealing the top, and yanked the cork out with his teeth. “Great great great great.. more greats... grandfather.” Still sitting on the bar, he transformed back again, giving Liam a grin, and waving at Evie. “So thanks for the advice, great great grandson.” He chuckled, took a swig of what to anyone nearby would have smelt like rubbing alcohol, and slipped back over to Dhani.
Cherry/Dhani: Cherry smiled a bit more at Murad's joke but honestly didn't think it would work. She looked to Lily, glad for her cousin's effort, "But three in a row?"
Evelyn: Whips? Naked people? How was she supposed to get used to that? The skater almost turned and hurried off but..that would have been selfish if there was something she could do to help. Moving to Liam, she dropped a kiss to his temple as those eyes continued to survey the scene. “What’s..going on?”
Malon/Dougal: Malon sips on his drink as he looks over at the chaos staying close to a new friend he made. "So from the smell and energy your giving off your a vampire right?" He looks back over at Andy sipping his drink while doing so.
Lily: " It still won't be that bad. I quite like being fed on, though it only happened once from a vampire I consider a good friend."
James D/Orion: James laughed a little at the little dragon he had always been a lot of fun when he had been going to game nights. "Damn strange so this is just a grant student punishments thing it seems like." he shrugged not really sure why though.
Murad/Liam: Liam grinned at the kiss, then looked around with a shrug, "Well, if I had to guess, most if not all of these slaves have an order they have to fulfill, and they're trying to hide from those commands. It'd be a bad idea to do that, but they don't seem to care. Though apparently some of them just like being naked..."
Anderson: Anderson looked back at Malon." Yes I am a vampire. And you are.." He leaned closer smelling his friend. " You smell amazing, unlike anything I have ever smelled before."
Malon/Dougal: "If the ears didnt give it away im an elf and thank you I wear this special cologne all the time. its my favorite." He liked the comment and bathed in it loving the small attention.
Cherry/Dhani: "Lily, if you don't point them out... then I can't find them. So... then I don't have to." Cherry reasoned, though with what Liam had mentioned scared her. Especially for Dhani. Trying to have sex with a stranger was bad enough - would someone be unable to stop him if they kept him like this?
Evelyn: Evelyn just nodded, still feeling embarrassingly out of her element. “I guess everyone had the same idea huh? That’s why I’m here. I need a drink though, do you want anything?” She offered, giving Malon a small smile and Dhani an alarmed look.
Jace.: Jace scooped Dhani back up, and sat back down, the bottle propped on his friend’s lap to afford him at least some modesty. “Being naked is great. People should do it more.” He chuckled, nibbling Dhani’s neck to punctuate his point. “Plus there are always ways to get around stuff. Sometimes a punishment is worth the crime.” Something stirred, deep in his mind, and was snarled down by another part.
Murad/Liam: The Dark Elf looked towards the other entrants, "Busy night..." He muttered, eyeing Liam's whip once more... / Liam noted the Dark Elf glancing at his whip, and raised a brow, "Kid, if you think of grabbing that your wrist'll get broken," He then glanced to Cherry, "I know a vampire, she'd be relatively gentle. Probably know how to help and care for you after as well... but she's just one."
Lily: " I'm sorry, Cherry, I wish I was better help." She said. Lily glanced around the room, pausing when her eyes landed on Orion. " Hello again."
Anderson: " An Elf?" He said moving closer to him. " I didn't think it is your cologne, though that is nice as well." He said, running his nose over his neck. " It is your blood, even with my collar I can smell it."
Cherry/Dhani: Dhani groaned slightly at the bottle being placed in his lap and leaned into Jace's dragony nibble. He moaned softly, his neck being a weak spot. / Cherry squeezed Murad's hand again to get his attention and looked to Liam, "Thank you... What's... what's her name? Maybe I could find her last... Could you maybe get rid of the whip? Lock it up or something? Sir?"
James D/Orion: James was listening in on some conversations there was just a lot going on as he went and grabbed himself a rum and coke. "Cherry if you need a vamp you could try keith I don't know him well, but if he isn't nice to you his girlfriend will kick his ass."
Murad/Liam: Liam glanced towards Evelyn, and held up his glass, "Already got one for myself, but did you need something?" He then glanced towards Jace and just held his glass up in return salute, shaking his head, then back to Cherry, "And why would I do that?"
Murad/Liam: Liam then thought, "Alexandrea. She's good, but I wouldn't 'find her last', you should do it all at once. All three..."
Jace.: “You ok?” The dragon murmured softly, muffling the sound against Dhani’s skin, and loosening the gag slightly so he could push it out if he wanted to actually say something, ready to pull it back if he started saying ‘something stupid’, whatever that might mean.
Malon/Dougal: "Oh my blood? Well I guess it smells good to vampires?" He wasnt sure how to feel about that, he was flattered but also a bit worried. He met a few vampires in London before but he never got to one this close before.
Murad/Liam: Murad spat out finally, to Liam, "I have to whip three friends, until they're bleeding, and I don't have a whip... you do. But I really don't want to do it, and..." / Liam waved off Murad and pulled the whip off his belt and set it down on the counter, but not near the Dark Elf, "Well shit, with those tiny arms, that'll take awhile. This whip'd do the trick though, but..." He glanced around, "I don't generally hand it around. Who'd you be whipping?"
Evelyn: “It’s okay, I’ll get myself a glass of wine or something” She whispered, biting her lip. She did wish herself that he would put the whip away.. “Can I get anyone else anything?” Evelyn asked, a little louder as she addressed the rest of the room.
Cherry/Dhani: Cherry shook her head, her big blue eyes obviously scared of crossing anyone, but especially now, "No... no reason." She spoke so softly it would be difficult to hear and didn't even want to mention not wanting all three vampires to have her at once. The thought of it terrified her. / Dhani nodded slowly, moving to kiss at Jace's fingers, "Just feels good... Put it back before I start begging Malon to fuck me."
Jace.: Jace grinned, and pressed a kiss to the corner of Dhani’s jaw, gagging him again and glancing over at Murad, seeing if he’d remember his earlier offer.
Murad/Liam: Murad nodded and looked around, "Uh... well... Cherry, Dhani, and Jace all sorta/kinda volunteered. And they're friends... so maybe them? But... I don't think they'd want to..." / Liam laughed, "Do you know how to use a whip properly? Because if you do, you can get to that blood much quicker, and only stings for a moment..." / Murad shook his head, "No, never used a whip. Only swords and... stuff... like that..."
Anderson: " It does smell amazing, would it be weird to ask for some?" He said with little shame, he was hungry and it was a long down.
Jace.: Jace nodded. “Swords are great. A whip is easy enough though. If you know how to do it right, then you know how to do it wrong. You can wrap it around and get a little cut and then bleeding! Job done easy peasy.” He shrugged, nuzzling Dhani in his lap.
Malon/Dougal: "Like feeding on me? Um sure I dont mind." He offers his wrist to his friend. "Drink but dont drain me okay?"
Evelyn: Evelyn managed to find a bottle of wine that looked halfway decent (at least from her limited knowledge) and poured herself a glass as she listened to the conversation around her. “Hi.. Are you okay?” She asked Orion.
Cherry/Dhani: "It'll be over fast, right?" Cherry wanted to help, as scared as she was. Dhani was a bit unaware of Murad's opportunity now, too wrapped up with Jace and thinking about Malon too much. Especially seeing him with Andy all over him.
Anderson: " Yes like feed on you." He chuckled. He took the wrist running his fingers over his wrist. " that is easier said than done, so i will promise to not try to drain you." He said, pulling out his pocket knife cutting open his wrist bring it to his mouth and drinking.
James D/Orion: Orion shrugged when Evelyn talked to him. "Thought this place would be empty like usual wasn't expecting a crown at least I'm not the only one naked."
Murad/Liam: Liam grabbed up the whip, then glanced towards Cherry, "Well it'd be quick if he does it right..." He handed the whip to Murad and stood him up, "Alright, let's get you a target... to practice on." He snatched up a couple of beer bottles and moved to set them on a table, "Concentrate on whipping that thing. Full extension, it's in the wrist, make sure that when it hits, you're not just hitting yourself, or don't hit the bottles with the whole thing. Just the tip..." He then glanced to Cherry, "It'd be over quickly if he does it right, and would only sting a moment. It's the continuous shit that really hurts..." He glanced to Evelyn, offering a grin as she spoke to a slave, then back to Murad, "Well get at it, before I lose my patience."
Malon/Dougal: He winces softly at the cut of the knife but feeling the lips on his wrist he let out a soft sigh. He watches the other closely making sure he does go too fair.
Cherry/Dhani: Cherry kissed Murad's cheek before moving away to give him room to practice... and saw Andy drinking Malon's blood. She forgot all about Murad's order and moved to Andy, kneeling next to him as if waiting her turn in a ridiculously submissive way.
Murad/Liam: Murad took the whip, and a power surged through him, immediately glancing towards Cherry and Dhani as if being compelled immediately, but did follow the Berserker's command and looked at the bottles. He grabbed the handle, squeezing it, then went to snap the whip, but it felt shockingly more heavy than he thought it would, and the motion was all off and he just watched it slap the table, not really 'whip' it.
Evelyn: “I guess we all felt the same way, it seems. Would you like a drink? It would probably help..” Evelyn offered, as those pale eyes drifted towards Liam once more. The smile that she gave in return was tentative at best, as she tried not to watch the feeding. Or the whipping. Or to accidentally address someone’s crotch....
Anderson: Anderson moaned at the taste of the elf's blood, it was the best he had so far and he didn't want to stop, he drunk more without stopping, until someone moved to his side. He paused glancing down at the girl. " Ah, I heard about your command, I was going to come over, but got a bit distracted." He said motioning to the bleeding arm in his gasp. " Do you prefer arm or neck?
James D/Orion: "Uh yes please thank you." He smiled at Evelyn and watched a little at the other man using a whip attempting to stay out of the way of the round up.
Murad/Liam: Liam shook his head, "Shit, boy, you're bad at this. Whip your wrist, make the whip the extension of your arm. Be prepared for the weight..." He then cut himself off noting Cherry moving towards the vampire, and clicked his tongue, "Hey, you, country girl..." He moved towards her and looked to Anderson, "Don't you fucking do it, or I'll put your head through a wall."
Jace.: Jace glanced at Cherry briefly, but quickly turned his attention back to Murad. “If you wanna draw blood - this is a bad way to whip someone, don’t do it normally - you need to try and hit them with kind of the middle? So the ends wrap around really fast. Normally you wanna aim for just the ends to hit, but in this case, no.” His hands were still playing over Dhani’s cooler skin, and he kept nibbling and kissing at him every so often, almost subconsciously.
Cherry/Dhani: Cherry shook her head but was glad she didn't have to explain herself, "I don't know... I've never been bitten before..." She couldn't pull her eyes away from the blood pooling from Malon's arm. She was shaking like a leaf. She looked over to Liam, gasping at his threat to Anderson, but didn't move. "Sir, I have to..."
Murad/Liam: Liam glanced to Cherry, "Tell me the exact wording of your order again, word for word, don't leave a detail out."
Cherry/Dhani: Dhani breathed a bit faster, anxious about Murad's order and hungry for Malon and Jace's touches. / Cherry chewed her lip, taking her phone from the pocket of Dhani's hoodie around her, reading it to him, "Find three vampires to feed off of you. No healing or blood replenishing potions allowed in between feedings. No food or drink until the third feeding is complete."
Anderson: " Neck will do." He said smiling at her, she seemed sweet and he wanted to see if she tasted the same. He looked over at the guard growling at him. " Oh please do." He said. " I am helping her. You've gone on about how it is worse if we don't do the commands."
Murad/Liam: Liam then grabbed Cherry, forcing her to her feet and dragging her away from Anderson, then glared down at her, "And so if you get fed on here, with no other vampire presence, you won't be able to eat, or drink, or even heal, until you find a third vampire. That's why you want all three at once. If you get fed on too much, without food or drink, no blood replenishing, it could fucking kill you. Your body won't let you do any of that until after the third. The spell won't let you."
Cherry/Dhani: Cherry yelped, Liam grabbing her and squeezed her eyed shut, feeling terrified and frankly not wanting to start crying again as he scolded her. But he was making sense. And the spell didn't seem to care. She struggled from Liam's grasp. "I'll find another vampire. I need him to feed from me..."
Lily: Lily moaned to follow after the guard and Cherry, pulling her away from him, glaring at him. " Keep your hands to yourself." She said. " He is right though Cherry, with no other vampire here, you can die, and considering last time I saw Andy he was human, he is recently and could kill you."
Malon/Dougal: "Hope that helped so you dont hurt the poor girl."
Murad/Liam: Liam shook his head, then glared down at Lily as she snatched her away, "Well considering she's going to keep going back to him, unless restrained, and none of you seemed eager to keep her from getting herself killed." He grit his teeth, this is what he got for trying to be helpful. He was cursing, silently, those who had tried to make him less violent. It was so much easier to just not give a shit. Then shrugged, glancing towards Murad, "Keep practicing," He then moved to grab his drink, downing it quickly.
Anderson: Anderson wasn't going to force the girl to let him feed on her, so instead he turned back to Malon. " You tasted heavenly." He said, turning back to his wrist, licking his lips.
Lily: " She is scared, roughly grabbing her isn't going to help, and as you can see from Dhani and Murad, resiting isn't doing them any good." She said. " She is my family I will look after her."
Cherry/Dhani: Cherry hugged Lily, obviously scared, but she wasn't running back to Anderson just yet. "Three vampires..." Cherry wiped at her face, looking over to Andy and Malon.
Murad/Liam: "Then if she's family, actually look after her. If I hadn't stepped in, she'd be in shit right now," Liam snapped. The berserker's famous rage rippling beneath the skin. And with no Evelyn here, it was likely not easily quelled. He then just threw his hands into the air, then moved towards Dhani, tugging the gag out of his mouth, "What's your problem now that your dragon protector's not here?"
Malon/Dougal: "I mean I dont mind you keep feeding on me." He hated seeing blood but he knew this was a necessity for vampires so he isnt too phased by it.
Lily: " You are right, I should have moved quickly, but it still doesn't excuse you scaring her more." She spat back at him. Lily pulled Cherry closer. " It will be okay, Cherry. I promise."
Cherry/Dhani: "I need Malon to fuck me..." Dhani spoke as soon as Liam asked his question, and took a gasping breath. "I have to 'try and have sex with the first person I see that I don't know'." Dhani tried hard to phrase it how he'd seen it. / Cherry shook her head, "He's right, but... Lily, what do I do?"
Murad/Liam: Murad continued to strike at the bottle, before finally hitting it so the whip's tip struck the glass and it shattered quickly. "I DID IT!" He then frowned... "Oh fuck, I did it..." Liam blinked and raised a brow, "Does the text say try and have sex, or to have sex? And Dhani, you're one of the biggest whores on this Island, you fuck everyone. Since when is that a problem?"
Anderson: Anderson grinned at his words, " Thank you." He said leaning forward sinking his teeth once more into Malon's wrist.
Cherry/Dhani: "Try and have sex. And I've tried... and my body still want to try, Liam, so this is as good as I could do... Malon doesn't want to. So until someone I don't know comes in that let's me..." Dhani shifted uncomfortably in his binds. Cherry turned her head away from Andy and Malon, and held tightly onto Lily's hand.
Lily: " We will just have to find more vampires." she hated it, but it was the only thing she could think of. She squeezed her hand, " Let's go take a seat, and wait for Anderson to be down."
Malon/Dougal: The fangs was a whole different feeling and let out a small moan gripping the counter taking a deep breath.
Murad/Liam: "How did you try? Did you ask him like a good boy? Or did you try to pin him to the wall and get told to fuck off?" Liam then took a look towards Cherry, "I'll text Lex, see if she can set something up for you. Maybe knowing something's setup and that it's coming can quell the spell a bit..." / Murad gripped the whip tight again, "I uh... " blood slowly dripping from his nose, as he seemed to be fighting the compulsion really hard.
Anderson: Andy moan, drinking more, all his issues and problems left his mind as his grip tightened on the wrist drinking deeply from him.
Evelyn: “Is ah..a beer okay? Or whiskey? I don’t really know how to make anything” Evie gave Orion an apologetic smile, hoping he wouldn’t ask for anything that she hadn’t even heard of. Meanwhile, her gaze sought Liam out once more. She had never seen him this way, and wasn’t sure what to think.
Cherry/Dhani: "I couldn't stop myself... He was really nice about it, actually," Dhani took a deep breath, sweating and shook his head, "I work at a blood bar... There's plenty of vampires that would help out there... Liam's right and Andy's too new. Maybe make sure Malon's okay, Liam? Please?" Dhani looked worriedly over to the pair. Cherry looked up from Lily's shoulder, seeing Murad's bloodied nose. She moved out of Lily's grasp and took off Dhani's hoodie, walking closer to Murad and turning her back to him, taking a deep breath and squeeze her eyes shut trying not to tense too badly.
Murad/Liam: Liam glanced towards Malon, and then at Anderson, "Hey, Bloodsucker, drop the wrist or I'll pry you off of it," Which he really didn't want to do as it could hurt the other slave. He moved towards both of the slaves, "Careful with how much you take from him..." He glanced in Evie's direction, not wanting her to see him work. Though, he was trying to be actually helpful for once, "Evie, can you give Dhani some water since he's... bound?"
Murad/Liam: Murad blinked at seeing Cherry naked in front of him. Usually the neurotic, horny little dark elf would be absolutely thrilled by this image, but knowing what it meant actually made him scared. But the compulsion took him over, and thankfully with the training he was able to strike with the whip across Cherry's back. He winced at the sound of it, but felt a tiny bit of relief flood him, and it was because the tiniest trickle of blood suddenly formed. "I'm so sorry Cherry! Can I get you a drink?! How can I make it up to you? I'll sing you a song!?"
Lily: Lily followed after Cherry, not wanting her to get too far from her. " Maybe you should go to the blood bar, I will go with you, you can talk to the owner and there should be a lot of vampires there."
James D/Orion: orion nodded nothing fancy a glass of scotch on the rocks
Anderson: Anderson growled at the guard he didn't want to stop, not when the blood was so warm, so good, beyond good. The best blood he ever had.
Evelyn: Evelyn nodded eagerly at the request, glad to be of help in some way. Putting her wine glass down, she filled another clean one with cool water and approached Dhani. “Here.. Let me know if you want something more” She murmured, letting him take what he wanted before going back and fixing Orion his drink as well.
Murad/Liam: Liam walked over towards Anderson, and grabbed him by the back of his neck, squeezing. The berserker's strength slowly beginning to show as he squeezed harder, "Now, or I'll snap you like a fucking twig." Would he really? Probably not, but the smell of blood and the hint of violence was exciting the berserker entirely. He didn't always get this close to an opportunity. He then glanced towards Malon, flicking him in the forehead, "Hey, wake up, stay focused... you okay?"
Cherry/Dhani: "Andy!" Dhani yelled at his friend when Liam wasn't making much progress. He didn't know how effect he would be either. He shook his head, dismissing Evelyn, though it was nice of her. He wasn't actually thirsty. / The whip snapped and Cherry cried out in pain and shock, mostly, falling to her knees. She felt the welt and blood spill slowly down her back. It was probably not as bad as it looked and the noise of it was probably more frightening.
Murad/Liam: Murad dropped the whip and ran over towards Cherry, moving to hug her, "I'm really sorry... I'll buy you all of the candy bars, but thank you so much for helping..."
Lily: Lily cried out as Murad whipped Cherry. She moved to her side, pulling her into her arms. " Shush, hun, it will be good. I promise I will heal you, you will be okay.
Anderson: The hand on his neck caused him to pull away from the Elf. He growled at the guard, though he knew deep down he was right, he was taking too much, he was going to hurt him. His eyes moved to Dhani then to Cherry when her blood hit his nose.
Cherry/Dhani: Cherry suddenly didn't care that she was naked, hugging Murad, feeling bad he felt so guilty and then leaning into Lily's embrace, forgetting all about Dhani's hoodie or covering herself up.
Malon/Dougal: He shakes his head getting out of the dazed. "Um ya Im fine....I never been bitten before so this was new. Thank you."
Evelyn: Evie nodded with a small smile when Dhani shook his head at her, going back to the bar. The sudden sounds of the whips and screams, the harsh voices, startled her causing the whiskey bottle to slip from her grasp and crash to the floor. “Stop!” She cried. “You don’t have to hurt each other!”
Murad/Liam: Liam did let Anderson's neck go when he finally let Malon go, and then glared down at him, "I'd watch the attitude, Kid. With that collar on you won't stand a chance, and my skin ain't breaking under your teeth. So be a good vampire, and keep your teeth to yourself for the remainder of the night, understood? I'll find you a blood bag." He patted Anderson's shoulder then looked towards Evelyn, frowning, "Love, it's okay. Everyone's fine..." He moved towards her then, "Got it all under control. Except for Dhani. I don't know how to help that..."
Lily: There was a lot happening too much happening for her own liking and she wished she could do more to help. " Cherry, I am going to heal you okay." She said snapping her eyes to Anderson warning him to stay away or she will be forced to hurt him.
Anderson: Anderson breath deeply trying to calm himself, he stood up glaring at the guard. " As if I want to sink my teeth into you." He said. " I'm sorry Malon, still having a bit of trouble with the stopping."
Cherry/Dhani: Cherry nodded and held Murad's hand again, wiping the tears from her eyes. "Lily's really good at that, Murad. We'll be okay. Don't feel bad. We know you have to do this..." She sniffled and took a deep breath, nodding to her cousin.
Murad/Liam: Murad nodded, "I know... I can't do that to two more people... god, imagine..." He winced at thinking about it, then nodded to Lily, "I'm sorry for hurting her, I'll buy you some candy too. Or pizza, or whatever I need to buy."
Evelyn: “No they’re not! Why does this have to happen? Why..why can’t we all just have a drink and talk? No one needs to know” She insisted, looking at Liam with pleading eyes. This didn’t have to be this way...
Lily: Lily waited for her permission before she would heal her. Once she nodded she pressed a kiss to her forehead before laying her hand over the mark on her back, closing her eyes as she healed her. " It is okay, Murad, I know you had to, you don't have to buy me anything."
Malon/Dougal: "Its fine I didnt mind it. But if you need another feeding you can to help with your control of feeding."
James D/Orion: Orion shrugged a little wishing he had a drink but then stepped forward. "You need to lash three people or just three times?" he asked the other slave whose name he didn't know.
Murad/Liam: Liam moved towards Evelyn, wrapping his hands in her own, leaning in to kiss her forehead, "It's magic, it's completely out of their control, out of our control. They got their texts, and now they absolutely have to do it or it can drive them mad, break their brains. There's some fighting it, like Murad, Dhani, and Cherry are trying, but the compulsion is hard. It's the price of the island. Best I can do is try to help them find easier paths for it... it's also my job to enforce these rules though, you know that."
Anderson: " Thank you, that is kind of you, but I am suppose be waiting to feed on people, wait for my sire or my boyfriend... I just tend to forget to fed, which in my defense, I used to do as a human."
Cherry/Dhani: "You can sing to me some time," Cherry smiled to Murad hoping to make him feel better, "I'd really like that." / Dhani levelled a look at Andy, tired and exhausted from the emotional drainage of the day, "You can't fucking do that, man, what if you really hurt him? Or Cherry?"
Murad/Liam: Murad glanced towards Orion and shrugged, "Three friends, unfortunately. I'd whip Dhani, but right now I think it might excite him..." He gave Dhani a look, "Or at least would mean untying him and then Malon's fucked... or, not fucked, as it were."
James D/Orion: Orion shrugged he would rather he get hit than another small girl that lily seemed very concerned about. "Well if it helps my name is orion and i heal faster than most humans so I'll be your new friend you made tonight."
Murad/Liam: Murad eyed Orion a moment, "What's your favorite movie?"
Malon/Dougal: "Oh you were turned? Well like I said if you need someone to feed and train I am okay with that, I honestly like being bitten."
Evelyn: “I know. And I’m not trying to keep you from your job, you know that” Evelyn whispered, resting her hands to his chest and closing her eyes for a brief moment. “But couldn’t they at least take a break? Have something to eat and drink and catch their breath? The ones who were fed from..they should have some juice” She insisted again, looking at the grant students. “Can I get any of you some juice?” She still didn’t let go of Liam just yet, a small hand gripping his shirt.
Anderson: Anderson growled at Dhani. " Yes because I do this on purpose, I'm a vampire now and I plan to lose control and hurt people." He said moving to the bar. " Thank you Malon, and I will keep that in mind."
Lily: Lily looked from her cousin to Orion. " I can heal you as well, once he is done." She said
James D/Orion: Oh I'm a big fan of Gladiator then again I loved the weapons more still though." orion laughed a little then looked at evelyn. "If the whiskey is gone Scoth or vodka...bottle"
Murad/Liam: He smirked and kissed her head, "If Murad whips two more friends, and draws blood, and Dhani gets fucked by a stranger, then yes. They'd get a break." He sighed and then frowned towards Cherry, "She's a more difficult story..." He pulled out his phone and sent a quick text to Lexi, "If the blood bar doesn't work, Love, I have a text out to Lex. I don't doubt she'd be okay with it."
Cherry/Dhani: "Mind your fucking schedule, Andy, and maybe you could keep some control." Dhani spoke shortly, not liking how much Malon was offering up.
Murad/Liam: Murad blinked and then shrugged, "Alright. I like Gladiator a bit too. No a lot, actually. The fights were bad ass. And Joaquin Phoenix fucking killed it... okay, we're friends. We like the same movie. I can whip you now..." He frowned, "If, uh, you want it still..." He glanced towards Dhani, "Dhani, are you still really horny for this other guy?"
Cherry/Dhani: "That's not the fucking point, Murad!" Dhani growled at him. It was getting worse. He was getting aggressive. 'Try to' was esculating rather quickly.
Murad/Liam: Murad meeped, "Right, okay, so you are... here." He grabbed up the whip, and then let out a breath and went to whip Dhani's thigh, thinking it was the meatiest part and would hurt less, but missed and hit the top of Dhani's foot really hard, but did manage to offer up enough of a cut to draw blood. "OH SHIT! No that's not where I was aiming! I'm sorry Dhani, but are you horny anymore? Gave you something else to think about."
James D/Orion: orion nodded and went over to the bar grabbing the bottle of vodka and moved into a clear area. "Yeah let's get this over with for you." He said taking a deep pull out of the bottle. then lowered his head waiting for the lash on his back.
Anderson: " Mind you fucking business, Dhani." He snapped back. He was in no mood for a fight with his friend, he wasn't hungry anymore, but he still wanted blood, more of it. He watched as he was whipped. " Maybe I'll fed on you enough you pass out and stop snapping at everyone."
Evelyn: Evie nodded again, shuddering at what was required. How did they bear it? She released Liam, but not before stretching onto her tiptoes for a quick kiss. “Okay. Pinkie promise?” She smiled a bit, then flashed Orion another apologetic look. “I’m sorry I broke the bottle.. I should clean that up before someone gets hurt..” Or more hurt, Evie thought, as she busied herself with cleaning up the mess she’s made.
James D/Orion: Orion laughed a little at the vampire. "Maybe you'd draw the blood away from his dick."
Cherry/Dhani: "FUCK!" Dhani shouted, stamping his good foot, and swearing a lot more. He didn't seem to care about snapping at Andy anymore or anything else.
Murad/Liam: Liam shot a look towards Anderson, "Listen to your friend, Kid. If you don't learn to control yourself, you can hurt, and maybe even kill someone. It's not a fucking joke, and he knows what he's talking about. I've dealt with vampires plenty in my life, Son, and there's a reason your sire told you not to do it, right?" He then turned to Evie and returned the soft kiss, and shook his head, "I'll clean it up. Won't cut me."
Murad/Liam: Murad then glanced towards Orion, "Favorite Pokemon starter, go!" He then brought the whip hard down across Orion's back, as quickly as he could, getting quite good with the thing already. Quick learner. Watching some blood draw, and then finally dropped the whip before falling back onto the floor, "God I feel amazing. I want to say sorry Orion, for whipping you. I'll buy you candy too, but I feel so much better!"
Lily: Lily moaned to Dhani grabbing his foot gently in her hand. " Let me heal you." She said softly, giving him no chance to answer, healing him quickly.
James D/Orion: Orion groaned a little at the sting of the whip and took another pull out of the bottle then lifted the bottle letting some of the vodka run down his back over the cut which made it sting but at least it would be clean more or less. "At least it wasn't a cat of nine tails those motherfuckers hurt."
Anderson: Andy decide to ignore the guard, he didn't want to listen, he wanted to go home, but he didn't want to have to face what happened today, so instead he drunk.
Evelyn: It was on the tip of her tongue to argue but Evie just gave him a grateful smile a nodded a little. She was likely to do something stupid like cut herself anyway. Jumping again as the whip hit Orion, she watched in amazement as the blonde girl healed Dhani. “How..did you do that?”
Murad/Liam: Murad glanced towards Orion, "I actually like getting whipped, so I'm a bit disappointed I was the one having to do it..."
Dhani: Dhani was crying by the time Lily got to him, too exhausted to fight back or struggle away. He was angry and tired and his brain wasn't making much sense. And Daisy's leaving him that day was still too fresh in his mind.
Murad/Liam: Liam went and snatched up the glass with his bared hands, hauling up the bottle pieces, and then tossed it all away into the trash. Brushing his hands off. He then poured himself another whiskey, and Evie another glass of her wine, before moving up behind Evelyn to snake his arms around her from behind and handed her her glass. Lifting his own to sip at it. Then glanced to Dhani, "Dhani, do you think a handjob counts as sex in this case?"
Lily: Lily looked up at the other woman, " I'm a witch, one that is considered good with healing spells." She said pressing a kiss to Dhani's forehead. " I will be right back." She promised before moving to Orion. " Would you like me to heal you?" She asked.
Lily: (brb)
Murad/Liam: Murad looked to Dhani, "Dhani, if it makes you feel any better, I'd have had sex with you if we didn't know each other in order to make you feel better. And also because it'd be kinda fun."
James D/Orion: Orion laughed "well to each their own..." He pointed to the lower right side of his back where his skin was extra scared. "Cat of nine tails rips and pulls off the skin I wouldn't recommend adding that to your routine in the bedroom." When Lily came over he lowered his voice. "I already have some magic working on me." he pointed at some rune tattoos on his left side. "Some witches who used to own me wanted me to heal faster."
Dhani: "I don't want your pity handjob," Dhani sniffled and shook his head, "I fucking know you, Liam, and Malon's already said no, I can't-- It has to be a stranger...." He tried controlling his breathing, but it was difficult. He gave a short unexpected chuckle at Murad's comment, "You're a good friend... But fuck you for that hit, man, I wasn't ready..."
Murad/Liam: "Well I thought it would make you forget wanting to fuck Malon." Murad offered. / Liam blinked and laughed, "No! Fuck, god, no I wasn't offering a pity anything. I was going to order Malon to give you a handjob."
Evelyn: “Thank you..” Evie whispered, leaning back against his strong frame. Cheeks pinking at his question to Dhani. Were they going to..have sex? Right there, in front of everyone? Was that really a thing? One thing she was grateful for though was the pretty witch’s healing. At least she could help, Evie felt so useless. “That’s so kind of you..”
Lily: Lily nodded, " That was very kind of you, to help Murad out like that." She said. " Thank you."
Lily: Lily looked back at the woman when she spoke to her. " Of course, what would be the point of having magic and being a mistress if I didn't hurt my friends."
James D/Orion: Orion nodded "wish I knew it was coming before Cherry got hit." he shrugged it was strange it had been a long time since he had felt protective of the innocent.
Murad/Liam: Murad glanced over towards Malon, "You should fuck Dhani. I don't even think it'd take that long, I mean look at him. He's so fucking horny, I'm pretty sure when you touched him he'd explode, and boom. He's done."
Fayeth and Wild have a little chat by the pool....
Wild and Wat agree that... well maybe the storm wasn’t so bad after all
@wildxhayes @fayeth-araven
faye: fayeth hadn't really spent much time at the pool finding she liked swiming in the beach or the waterfall much more but the place was really nice and still fun, shortly after arriving she noticed wilder and she smiled brightly getting closer "Hello!"
Wild: Wilder was not usually one for pools, but having been to the waterfall and the beach so much, he decided to check out the pool. As he approached with his bag and a cooler full of drinks and snacks he grinned when he saw Fayeth. "Hello lovely," he said as he walked over to a pool chair and laid his stuff down. He kicked off his jandals and pulled his shirt over his head before he sat down at the edge of the pool and grinned at her. "How you been then Gorgeous?"
faye: She sat down next to him by the edge of the pool, it was a veryy nice temperature she'd give it that too. "I've been good, I went back home for a few days because it was my brother's birthday..and you how have you been?"
lurkish delight joined the chat 12 days ago
Wild: "Oooh sounds good," Wilder smiled at her. "Did you have fun? Enjoy partying?" he asked as he opened a beer from his cooler. He held one out to her in offer. "I've been alright, been working on my house a bit," he explained.
faye: "It was a really nice party, and it was nice being back home and seeing my family and friends there, I can't say I've been homesick here but being back was lovely" she said with a nod "Oh yeah, how is your house going?
Wild: "Oh the house is great, I've been updating the kitchen a bit, I want to get an oven in there, but the kitchen is a bit small," he admitted. "And I bet your siblings were happy to see you. Did you trap any humans and steal their names?" he asked, nudging her with his elbow so she knew he was joking.
faye: "So you're making it bigger? And oven is an important thing to have" she laughed "Not this time no, also no humans that walked into the party and eneded up dancing all night or eating food and not being able to leave but hey maybe next time" she joked "you know everyone here has given me their names very freely"
Wild: "I never gave you my name, I just told you what it was," Wilder pointed out with a grin and then took a swig from his beer. "Mm, want a snack? I've got trail mix," he offered as he pulled a bag of said snack from his cooler and offered it to her. "I made it with these granola bits too, I thought they'd give it a good crunch," he explained. "But yeah, I'm trying to make the kitchen a bit bigger. I've got one of those countertop ovens, but it may be good to have a full one ya know?" he explained.
faye: "See you would be a good fae with that kind of word play" she admitted with a smile "But anyway I don't think that works here, though if I made a pact or something it would be diffrent" but she couldn't think any reason she'd do that "Oh yes thank you." she said taking some "well I think they are quite good too...those don't work as good the big ones?"
Wild: "That'd be interesting, too bad I can't switch teams," he joked with a wink. When she took some trail mix, he set the bag between then and dipped his feet into the water. "Yeah, it works okay, but not quite as good as the regular one. What about you, you still living in the suites?" he asked. "You know there's a good property near mine for sale, we could be neighbors,"
faye: "Do you want one those that are electric or one more traditional?" She knew very little about cooking considering she had never really cooked everything "That would be great I will have to see it, because yes I want a home here, the rooms are just not for me...besides you remember I told you of a friend that left the court? She's here! so maybe we can share the home"
Wild: "I think a small size electric one will be good," he told her. "Like one the size of those microwave drawer things," he explained. When she said that friend of hers was there he grinned. "Hey!" he smiled. "That's exciting, who's your friend?" he asked as he took another drink of his beer. "Want a beer?" he asked as he gestured to the cooler.
faye: "That sounds good, I suppose there's no use to get a bigger one unless you were going to use it a lot and there is the space issue too" she smiled bacK "Her name is Katell maybe you'll meet her someday, she's mayoring in dance" she explained "yes thanks.."
Wild: "I don't think I've met her yet," Wilder commented as he thought back about the people he had met. When she said she'd have a beer he pulled one out and popped the top off before handing it over to her. "Here you go. So is she a mistress or a slave?" he asked.
faye: "i ran into her during the last party I couldn't believe it" she was still somewhat shocked about it all "she's a slave.."
Wild: "Ah," Wilder nodded. "Yeah, that's bloody hard," he said gently. "I'm sorry," he said as he put his hand on her lower back and then put it back on the cement around the pool.
faye: "is part of why I'd like to get a home and if she agrees we can live together though mostly is just because she's my friend and I have missed her a lot" the whole thing was sad and complicated bit she was going to be there for katell always "but ..what about you, how are things with sage?"
Wild: "It makes sense," he nodded. "I think there's some homes that are for sale in the woods near my house," he told her. "But if you wanted me to build you a house I could do that too. Make you a brilliant treehouse," he explained. When she asked about things with Sage he sighed lightly and chuckled. "Well I told him that I didn't love the idea of him sleeping with my ex- but then I slept with my ex during the storm," he chuckled a little dryly and then sighed. "That storm was mad,"
faye: "if I don't like any maybe I will ask...or maybe even if I do like one, having a little treehouse would be nice too" she laughed "well I mean...its different.. but then the ex was a wild night and is back to akwardness?" she took a breath "it was, I saw people really acting up, I felt not quite myself but taht's it"
Wat (Leslie) joined the chat 12 days ago
Wat: "I guess my ears were burning," Wat smiled, a bit tightly, catching the tail end of that conversation. He had a towel draped over his arm, obviously ready for a bit of swimming on his own, his thin pale body dressed in a tight pair of swim trunks. "I can come back if you two are... wanting some privacy."
Wat: (probably won't be in for long but I'll try)
Wild: (Sorry, I got a phone call)
Wild: "Oh yeah, you know me, always wanting privacy with women," Wilder joked as he looked over at Wat. "Nah, you're fine. Want a beer? 'Fraid I don't have any blood."
Wat: "Well, technically, you do. Have blood." Wat smirked. Even if Wilder and he were in a place that he'd ever let Wat feed from him, it wouldn't be enough. Hell it might even be poison. Wilder was the only bear on the island... Wat pushed the thought away. He reached in the cooler for a beer, not entirely surprised to find NZ imports. "Discussing the storm, are we?"
faye: "Hello" she greeting Wat "yeah.. it was certainly..intense.."
Wild: Wild sighed deeply when Wat mentioned the storm and looked away before rubbing the back of his neck. "Ah, yeah," he admitted. "Fayeth is one of my best friends," he explained as he gestured to Fayeth. "I tell her a lot of shit," he took a longer drink of his beer and then glanced at him.
Wat: "That's nice." Wat moved to stick his legs in the pool for now, glancing to Fayeth, "The friends bit not the-- I'm sorry you didn't have a good time during it."
faye: (i'm going to bed i'm too tired bybeye)
Wild: (Night night)
Wild: Wild sighed at Wat's comment before he glanced at Wat. "I never said I didn't have a good time," he said softly.
Wat: "I was talking to Fayeth. Actually." Wat chewed his lip, a bit awkward there. He popped the cap off his beer before taking a sip. It brought back memories. He was never one for beer and it didn't affect him much, but he always sat around and drank at the bar. To fit in. For Wild. "So... did you? Have a good time?"
Wild: Wilder winced internally before he glanced at Wat and then nodded slightly. "I did," he said as he glanced at the vampire. "Did... Did you?" he asked as he peeled at the corner of the label of his beer.
Wat: "Of course I did," Wat answered with maybe a little too much sincerity. It wasn't like him. At least not the him people knew here. An old him that Wilder knew. A vulnerable him that too few people here knew. He chewed his lip again, speaking just a touch more casually, "Something I'd like to do again..."
Wild: Wilder looked at Wat when he replied sincerely before smiling slightly and nodded. "Yeah," he agreed and then slipped into the water of the shallow end, the water going to his waist. "I- I'd like to do it again sometime too," he admitted as he glanced up at Wat with a slight smile.
Wat: "Yeah?" Wat couldn't help but look surprised. He fully expected to be told off or for Wild to even get up and leave. Why? Because he deserved to be punished by the person he'd hurt? Why couldn't they make progress? "Me-- I mean--" Wat smiled and gave a short laugh, "Okay... Good. Great."
Wild: He chuckled softly before nodding as he ran his fingers through his hair and then turned so he was facing Wat. "I mean, yeah," he nodded and then shrugged. "I- I don't really think I want to be in a relationship right now, I did just get out of a relationship," he pointed out with a grin. "But I mean, hooking up..." he shrugged and smiled at Wat.
Wat: "No, I know and..." Wat gave his own shrug, taking another sip of beer. Things were complicated with them. And Wild's previous relationship was more than complicated by itself. "I'm glad you'd want to spend time with me. That we can be mature about this..."
Wild: "It's hard because you know I'm very immature," he grinned at Wat before finishing off his beer. "Throw us another one, yeah?"
Wat: "700 years old and I have yet to meet anyone that can sulk like yours truly." Wat smiled, taking a dig at himself before reaching into the cooler and tossing one... just short of Wild's grasp. "700 years and still can't throw either. Sorry."
Who: @lesliestedeman and @wildxhayes (with Artie and Virg)
Where: The beach
What happened: Leslie and Wilder continue to bond over their Kiwi pride, dogs, not really wanting to go to a party, being there for each other and Wat Fletcher being a dick.
Convo under the cut
Wild: Wilder had spent a few days riding a much stronger buzz than usual, in fact it had been close to a week, and as he sat on his beach chair on the beach, with a cooler full of beers next to him, it was obvious he was planning on spending this day riding a strong buzz as well. He sighed against the chair, dug his heels into the sand and cracked open his beer, he knew it would take a lot more than the average human to get a good buzz on, but by darn he was willing to put the work in.
Leslie: The dogs shot down the beach first, right to the water splashing in and around before chasing each other and barking happily. Leslie came soon after, strolling leisurely with his own little cooler, a bag of supplies (towels and extra sunscreen) and rented chair and umbrella. He set up next to Wilder and put the large umbrella between them to help shade Wild as well. "Kia ora," Leslie smiled behind his sunglasses, "Hot enough, eh?"
Wild: "Kia ora yourself," Wilder said as he grinned at Leslie. "Chur, it's just too bloody hot eh? Supposed to be winter, feel like I'm dying mate," he said with a chuckle. "Glad I ditched the long hair for sure," he nodded as he looked out at the dogs. "They're having a time aren't they?"
Leslie: "You're a whole new person!" Leslie said cheerfully and opened his cooler for a large glass bottle of water, flavored with lime slices floating inside. "I think they're adjusting better. I'm trying not to spend too much time in the apartment, really." Leslie did look a bit more tan, especially compared to his arrival. "Once I get my plans together and talk with the housing department, I'll start on my place soon. It's hot as all heck but I think now's the time before classes start up."
Wild: "Yeah, luckily I grade on a curve, so the little bastards had a pretty good chance of passing my class while I was building my treehouse. They got extra credit if they came and helped too," he added with a smile. "May offer something like that for your anklebiters," he offered with a half grin and then took a long drink of his beer. "Mm, hey," he reached over gently swatting Leslie's arm. "I opened a shop mate,"
Leslie: "Aw, yea?" Leslie went from thoughtful over Wild's teaching suggestions to excited over his new business. He couldn't even begin to guess what kind of shop it might be, but he was excited to hear about it. Wild seemed pretty together, ambitious as heck, too, which Leslie admired a great deal. He'd gotten so comfortable in his old life he had no idea what to do with this new one. "What kind?"
Wild: "Import store," he explained with a proud grin. "You notice how everyone here is from all over the world, so I thought, you know what everyone here needs? Their favorite foods or snacks or the like, you know? There's something comforting about having your favorite things, of course, we Kiwis have a bit larger of an area, I got us a lot of food from home, but I tried to be fair on what else I ordered first round, you know?" he explained before taking another sip of his beer. "Now ask me what kind of beer I'm drinking Mate,"
Leslie: Leslie was well impressed. He wouldn't mind a couple feijoas. And most people here hadn't even heard of them. Leslie hadn't even noticed the beer, but now he couldn't see the label. Leslie wasn't that big on beer, but he knew enough brands, "Um, Speight's? Or is that too obvious?"
Wild: "Nah mate," he laughed as he gently shook his head. "I'm a Tui man," he said as he turned the bottle to show him the label. "But, I was hoping I'd run into you, because I got you," he opened his cooler and pulled out a bottle. "Mac's Ginger," he said as he held it out to Leslie with a proud grin, excited that he'd remembered what Leslie liked.
Leslie: "Aw, I knew it!" Leslie laughed as Wild showed him the label and then it turned more high pitched, surprised delight at Wild remembering his own preference, taking the bottle from him, "Oh, no way! Thanks, mate." He abandoned his own water for the ginger beer, popping the cap with the underside of the beach chair arm. "You didn't have to. I mean, now all I need is for the coffee place to make a real flat white and I'm all set."
Wild: "Just tell them a latte with no foam," Wilder said with a shrug as he moved his cooler between the two of them and then leaned back in his chair. "Learned that one the hard way, what is it with the Americans and all the bloody foam, eh?" he asked as he glanced at Leslie and smiled slightly.
Leslie: "It's just air. Waste of space." Leslie shook his head, but was glad to get a good tip off. He sipped his beer and adjusted his open colorful button down shirt, a bit of sweat trickling down his chest. He didn't speak for a moment, looking thoughtful and as if he was trying to occupy his own mind for the moment. But then he did. Sincere and maybe more emotional than he'd planned, glancing to Wilder, though he flashed a smile. "I'm glad you're here, Wild."
Wild: "No kidding," Wilder agreed as he sipped his drink and then looked over at Les and gave him a small smile in return. "Why's that eh?" he asked as he took another sip of his own beer.
Leslie: Leslie gave a shrug, another swallow of beer going down a bit harder, looking out to the sea and the dogs again. "You make being here a lot easier." Leslie spoke with the same sincerity, a more certain nod, a slightly easier smile. "That's all."
Wild: "You too," Wilder admitted after a moment before letting out a sigh. "Especially after the last week y'know?" he asked as he looked back at Les with a smile. "Thanks again for being there for me Les," he said softly, looking at his beer cap as he tried to keep the memories of that night sobbing on the beach out of his mind. "Y'know why Tui is my favorite? I mean- aside from the obvious- that it's the best- but it's the trivia on the lid," he smiled as he looked at the bottle cap. "Ready for a question?"
Leslie: Leslie reached over to Wild, casually touching the man's arm at the mention of the previous week, coming out to find him on the beach. It was no problem at all. Leslie had been worried. And honestly he was more than glad to do it. He was glad to have Wild depend on him for anything. He was glad for the change of subject, too. He wasn't ready to go into the big reason he was here in the first place. But Wilder made him a lot less homesick. He tried not to think about it too much. "Quiz me!"
Wild: "Right," Wild said before looking at the cap and then at Les. "On what day of the week do the most bank robberies take place?" he asked as he leaned against the arm of his chair and smiled as he closed his hand around the bottle cap, so Les would be less likely to see the answer/
Leslie: "Oh, that's a good one..." Leslie hummed for a moment, frowning slightly in thought, "Mon--no! Hmm... Is it Sunday? Cause they're closed?"
Wild: "Friday mate," Wilder grinned as he opened his hand, holding the bottle cap out to him so he could see it. "Probably because people get paid on fridays?" he shrugged as he took another sip of his beer. "Mm- what do you think of this masquerade thing?"
Leslie: "Oh, yes, that makes sense." Leslie gave a sage nod, but truthfully hadn't much of an idea about that. It was the nod of agreement he gave about what most people tried to talk to him about in pubs and such. He didn't follow sports, he didn't watch much TV but he liked music and the odd comedy film for sure. People usually like Monty Python but it wasn't exactly up to date. The dogs started too far down the beach and Leslie put his fingers in his mouth, giving a hard whistle for them to turn back around. They did and started towards Leslie. He dug a frisbee out of his back, throwing it towards the ocean for them. "I don't know. I've never been to a party before." Leslie gave a shrug, then corrected himself, "Not like that, I mean. Not a fancy one. I don't have anything to wear for it anyway." He sounded vaguely as if he was thinking of skipping it. Which he absolutely was.
Wild: "Well, there's a suit shop in town," Wilder pointed his thumb away from the beach, towards the town. "But yeah, I dunno, I've been to uh, formal weddings- hell part of my wedding was pretty formal," he chuckled. "I might give it a look, see if there's anything interesting happening there,"
Leslie: "We can just pop in. See what's the haps." Leslie gave a shrug, going along with a little more interest. If Wild was going to go then he might as well. Wouldn't be fair to leave Wild alone like that. "For a little bit. Make an appearance."
Wild: "Yeah, make an appearance, maybe have a drink, see what kind of spread they have y'know?" Wilder nodded. "And if that vamp bastard is there, we can uh, we can go off and find something else to do." he said with a nod.
lurks like jagger joined the chat
Leslie: "Yeah. Wouldn't wish to be rude. Generally. Aside from him." Leslie shrugged, sipping his beer. Then after a moment of thought, "Unless there might be someway to embarrass him..."
Wild: Wilder looked over at Les when he said that before a grin broke across his face. "You know, I've been trying to think of a way to make him feel like he's made me feel," Wilder said as he crossed one leg over the other. "Is that wrong of me?"
Leslie: Leslie hummed thoughtfully, then shrugged, "I'm not positive that would make you feel much better, in the long run... But it might make him think a bit more. And it's not like we're out to hurt him. Physically. Just embarrass him. It's a lot less than what he did." Leslie slid his feet out of his jandels and dug his toes in the sand.
Wild: "Yeah, yeah, totally," Wilder said with a wave of his hand. "I mean, if I wanted to hurt him, that's easy, put silver in his office, there, boom, done, course that would hurt me too- suppose I could get a human to do it for me. What are you again?" he asked as he looked at Les with a slight frown. "Not human, yeah?"
Wild: (brb!)
Leslie: "Well, it would have to touch his skin. And it would scar. I think that's a bit much..." Leslie looked uneasy at that. He wouldn't deny Wild getting a little payback, but he didn't want his friend doing something he'd regret either. Or might get in trouble for. Surely there was some sense of law and order around here.
Wild: "I mean, I wouldn't do it," Wilder said quickly as he looked over at Les. "I wouldn't," he assured him. "It was just- if I ever wanted to do something like that, it would be easy to do," he explained. "But I wouldn't."
Leslie: The more times Wild said it the less Leslie believed him. But hopefully... he wouldn't. "Okay... I just, you know, I don't want you regretting something. And be unable to take it back. I was just thinking of, like, standing him up or something. You know? Make plans and then don't show up. That's a bit fractional in comparison, but..." He gave a shrug. It wasn't the best idea. But Leslie didn't know much about revenge.
Wild: "I don't know if I could honestly make plans with him," he sighed as he thought about that. "I- I can't even look at him if I'm honest," he said. "The idea of seeing his stupid face makes me a bit sick right now," he said as he finished his beer and then got another one from the cooler. "I wish it didn't make me feel this way- I guess I just- I miss what my life was supposed to be like," he admitted softly, looking at the new beer bottle in his hand before he got the cap off with the magnetic bottle opener he'd fixed to the side of the cooler, and looked at the trivia question under the lid. "Anthony Wilding is the only Kiwi to win what tennis event?" he asked as he glanced at Les.
Leslie: Leslie sighed a little, feeling badly for Wilder and for even suggesting it. He'd have to think of something else. He glanced over, surprised Wild was on another beer when he was barely halfway through his. But he understood regretting over what might have been. Things you couldn't change. "Oh, I know this. The Grand Slam. The mother Superior at the time was wild for tennis. We kept up with him, of course."
Wild: "Says Wimbledon mate," Wilder said as he showed him the bottle cap. "Mother superior eh, raised Catholic were ya?" he asked as he took a sip of his fresh beer and then whistled for one of the dogs, wanting to pet one of them. "Oi you two! Come here and get a treat!" he looked over at Les quickly. "You did bring treats- yeah?"
Leslie: "Aw... Well, to be fair it's been a hundred years, so..." Leslie gave a bit of a disappointed face. He took another sip of beer. "Oh, Catholic adjacent. Lapsed, I guess. Technically. We lived next to a nunnery." He gave a shrug as the dogs ran over and fished in his bag for the little container of homemade treats and handed the tin box over to Wild. "Not too many."
Wild: "Just like two each?" he asked as he looked at Leslie with a smile. "Don't wanna overdo it, but I do want to spoil them," he grinned before looking over at the dogs with a big smile. "Hey you two! How's my favorite pups?" he asked as he opened the container to give them some treats. "What can we do today eh? Can we sit?"
Leslie: "Two is good. One per trick at most." Les agreed and chuckled a bit as both dripping wet dogs sat as soon as they saw the treats before Wild could even finish his sentence. "Virgil's an old pro. Artie you have to tell her more than once to get her to pay attention."
Wild: "Awh, they're great," Wilder smiled at the dogs. He gave them each a treat before he held a hand out to Virgil. "Shake mate?" he asked as he held his hand out. "So should we go suit shopping sometime then?" he asked Les as Virgil shook paws with the werebear and he fed him another treat and then turned to Artie.
Leslie: It took a few moments of Artemis head tilting, turning in a few circles and sitting again before she got the idea and shook Wild's hand. Leslie gave a nod, "Yeah, I could do with some fancy clothes, I guess. Wouldn't want to show up under dressed. Especially not with your new shop. Gotta make us Kiwis look respectable."
Wild: He chuckled and finally gave her the treat before closing the container and rubbing her head. "You're a good girl," he cooed at her, ruffling her ears and then looked at Les. "Yeah, dunno how respectable we are, but it's good to let people think that," he grinned. "Heard it's supposed to be a masquerade too," he added. "Be cool to wear a traditional mask or something, but I think that's a bit much, even for this place."
Leslie: Artie licked at Wilder's wrist and Virgil bumped ahead of her a little, obviously wanting his attention, too. "Oh, you should do." Leslie smiled, then laughed, "I could where-- you know those Plague Doctor masks? But instead it's a kiwi."
Wild: "Oh that's be funny," Wilder chuckled as he looked at Les and then reached over to pet Virgil as well. "Come here beggar," he chuckled as he pet the other dog, now petting both of them, one with each hand. "I may find something brightly coloured," he explained. "I mean, I know it's formal, but I still want to be me you know?
Leslie: Leslie snapped his fingers, drawing Artie away so Virgil could get some full attention. He told ehr to go fetch the frisbee, she was pretty good at doing at. But it might've been lost at sea by now. "You know, I don't think I've worn a suit outside of a funeral in a long time."
Wild: "I haven't since my wedding," Wilder admitted as he pulled Virgil onto his lap. He wasn't a small dog, but Wilder didn't care. "Come on mate," he sighed as he stroked the dog's fur.
Leslie: "Aw, he loves being a lap dog," Leslie chuckled, crinkling his nose a bit as Virgil's long hair was going to get all over Wild, but he didn't seem to mind. Artie didn't care one way or the other and brought back the frisbee. Leslie tossed it out again. "Was it a nice wedding?" Leslie asked, a bit carefully.
Wild: "It was to a woman," he laughed a little awkwardly and then glanced at Leslie. "It was for- It was strategic," he explained with a small chuckle as he managed to take a sip of his beer around Virgil. "You can ask about it if you have questions," he said as he looked at Les. "I don't mind telling you about it,"
Leslie: Leslie nodded at the 'strategic' bit. He'd seen from afar, but never been to, plenty of strategic weddings. Heard about them, knew the nuns who sometimes help set them up. "Oh, only if you want to..." Leslie dismissed the idea, momentarily. Then, "I take it you weren't very happy..."
Wild: "Well, I was married to a woman," Wilder said as he looked at Leslie. "It was maybe a month or two after I was turned- I honestly don't remember a lot about everything leading up to it happening," he explained with a chuckle as he stroked Virgil's back. "I have a vague memory of the alpha of the pack coming and telling me that the pack would protect me, that I could be with them, or I'd be alone- forever- and the only way I could stay with the pack was if I married her. So I did- I was heartbroken, I was scared and going through such a big change, and I felt like I didn't have any other option," he looked at Les with a wry smile. "Seems a bit silly dunnit? Give your life away because you're scared?"
Leslie: ((Cries in Wat parallels)) Leslie shook his head, "No. No, I don't think so." He hadn't been in a situation like that, not remotely. He wished he'd been there for Wild. But they were on different islands, having no idea about the other. But it made sense, them using Wild's singularity, his uniqueness against him. It was what Leslie had been afraid of his whole life. Shame on them. "I'm sorry you felt so alone."
Jody and Fawn haven’t been the best at relationships lately and Jody has heard some disturbing rumors about the recent event and things Fawn was up to. Jody and Fawn talk
Fawn: Fawn wished they went with a different costume. It was too hot on the Island for the scarf and the coat and quickly shed them both when they arrived at the beach. There were too many people at the party and they rather not run into someone they knew or a slave they tortured in the past week.
Jody: Most of Jody's makeup was off thanks to Cherry Williams and the makeup wipes in her mini backpack. Well, she'd given him the whole pack, which he'd been using along the walk to the beach, tossing used ones into trash cans along the walkway. He was almost sure he'd gotten most of it away, but the red was a bit harder to clear off. Jody's face was a light smear of red, green and white. He had his burgundy jacket coat slung over an arm, holding the packet of makeup wipes and the sleeves of his forest green button down shirt rolled up. Maybe if he and Fawn had bothered to coordinate their costumes they could have come up with something a lot cooler. His green sprayed hair was slicked back, not his usual style, and slowly departing the hair spray from the humidity and heat of the island. He had spotted Fawn venturing off towards the beach and followed at a pace, trying to remove most of the makeup first. He didn't want to have a potentially serious talk in Phoenix's Joker makeup. Jody had heard rumors of what Fawn had been up to during the Event. And he couldn't help but blame himself. He hadn't really been around, too much.
Fawn: Fawn walked toward the water, unsure if they were going to get in or not. It was hard to make decisions recently. They were indecisive and it was dangerous. They wanted to feel bad for hurting people at the event. But they weren't sure if they did. They were constantly conflicted and they wanted to be alone, but it wasn't long before they heard someone following them. They didn't know if they wanted to snap at the person or let them follow. They decided to let them follow for a bit before quickly turning around roughly grabbing the collar of their shirt, before freezing. " Jody."
Jody: Jody gave a gasp, not expecting to be grabbed in such a way and half distracted with getting a bit more makeup off. He flinched, completely caught off guard, and dropped everything in his hands, the makeup wipe, the pack of them almost all used up, his jacket slipped from his arm as he raised them slightly defensive, protective of himself. Expecting, some part of him long hidden away, to get hit. But Fawn freezed and Jody did as well before slowly lowering his hands to Fawn's arm, carefully. His breath hitched, just for a moment and he swallowed the rising lump in his throat. But there had been fear in his eyes, even for a moment, now replaced with worry... but his heart raced. "It's just me." His small smile was nervous.
Jody: "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to sneak up."
Fawn: For a moment they were worried they had completely lost their minds and seeing things. They didn't see their boyfriend a lot, they didn't blame him they could have easily gone to his home to see them, but still, they were unsure if he was there. When he touched their arm they realized it was real. They had almost attacked him, they had scared him. They open their mouth to apologize to say anything but nothing came out. They closed their mouth moving back from him for a moment. " Umm no. I'm sorry. Ummm, I didn't.." They were going to say they didn't mean to scare him, but they did, they just didn't know it was Jody. " Sorry."
Jody: Jody took a breath, letting it out slow, his gaze ebbing away from his own fear to more obvious concern. Fawn seemed shaken, understandably. Jody was too. Maybe there was a reason Fawn was acting the way they were, hurting people he cared about, hurting people... and from what Jody had gathered... liking it. Jody's hands moved slow and careful, telegraphing his moves to not frighten Fawn any more. He hugged them, slow and strongly. He didn't say anything. Not right now.
Fawn: Fawn watched him closely. They were unsure what he was going to say or do, and then he was hugging them. They froze for a moment. They were confused about why he was hugging them? They were the ones in the wrong, and yet he was hugging them. They stayed frozen in his is arms for a few more seconds before melting into his hold, snuggling closer to him. They missed him. His warmth, his scent, everything. Their arms wrapped tightly around him.
Jody: "I'm sorry I haven't been.. present. Or around much. Or here for you when I should be." Jody gave them a small squeeze and pulled back, the corners of his mouth twitching at the struggle of smiling against facial muscles on the verge of tears. "I'm sorry I didn't ask what you wanted to be for Halloween so we wouldn't be sweating our buns off out here..." Jody sniffled and touched Fawn's face, moving his hand to cup their cheek. He gave another slow exhale, looking more uncertain again. "We don't have to talk about this event right now, but... I think we should. I've heard some disturbing things, babe..."
Fawn: Maybe Fawn did know what guilt was, because the moment they saw that he was on the verge of tears, they felt their heart drop. Jody was amazing, the best thing to happen to them and he was hurting." No no, don't be sorry. I'm not upset with you." They rushed out shaking their head. " Darling you have nothing to be sorry about, I promise. I-I'm the one that needs to be sorry. I should have reached out to you, a long time ago." They were slipping and struggling and instead of asking for help, they reverted back to what was familiar and into their old ways. They closed their eyes when he mentioned the event. Of course, he would hear about it, they were subtle in their mini reign of terror. " W-we can talk now."
Jody: Jody licked his lips, biting his lip as Fawn closed their eyes and a tear slipped from his own. He kissed Fawn's cheek and then let go, sniffling again, moving to pick up his things and hastily wipe away the tears that had fallen. Fawn was right, they should have reached out, to anyone, not just Jody... But Jody should have been there. He should have ...maybe tried to put a stop to it. Maybe he could have, if he'd seen signs earlier. As a former addict, and Jody saw this behavior as much of the same, he should have seen it. Jody cleared his throat, drapping his jacket back over his arm and throwing the packet of wipes into the trash. "Eh, I'll clean up more later." He smiled a little again, then reached towards Fawn again, wiping the smear of red from their cheek.
Fawn: They opened their eyes, Fawn felt their heartbreak a little bit more at his tears. They wished they had done more. Been a better partner and want to see him, told him what was going on and that they were struggling, but they couldn't dwell on the what-ifs and should have. They chose not to see him or any friends. Because they didn't want to be helped, they didn't want to feel. They wanted to hurt people and they had to admit that to themselves, but they didn't want to admit that to Jody. " Sorry for frightening you, making you drop your things." They said softly. And it was then they noticed his face more, a lot of the make-up was removed but enough still stayed. " What exactly are you?"
Jody: "S'okay," Jody waved it away, shaking his head, muttering a bit like he did when he didn't exactly want to confront something on his mind. The lip chewing, too. He pushed a hand over his hair, walking back to Fawn and moved his hand to hold theirs. "The Joker. Joaquin Phoenix version. You know I cried during his Oscar acceptance speech. When he got choked up, I thought, he's gonna mention River, I know it. And sure enough..." Jody smiled sadly.
Fawn: " It's not okay. God, I was going to hurt you. I would have if it was anyone else." They had talked to him about how they used to be, but they didn't want him to see that side of them. They took his hand, squeezing his hand softly. " I haven't seen the movie, but you look nice." They said. They didn't want to talk about their recent activities but they knew it would be better to be forward about it. " So... what exactly did you hear about me?"
Jody: "You didn't," Jody reassured him, smiling a little, still. He took a slow breath, squeezing Fawn's hand. "A lot of second hand stuff... I don't think it matters what I heard. I need to hear from you what went on... And then we figure out how to help. Okay?"
Fawn: Fawn nodded biting their lip before taking a seat in the sand patting this space next to them. " I kind of lost it after Elijah left. I just felt so guilty for what happened between you guys and him leaving, and I hated it. I didn't like the feels, and I wanted them gone. The event gave me a space to bury Fawn and who I am on the Island. I hurt a lot of people. I told myself they would be fine, that the healers would heal them and everything would be okay."
Jody: Jody sat down, letting go of Fawn's hand before and letting them talk. It seemed understandable enough to Jody, if with terrible repercussions. Emotional and otherwise for the slave they'd hurt. Jody nodded shortly and spoke softly, "I thought you needed space... I should have-- asked," Jody placed a hand on their knee, stopping them from making any excuse for Jody again. "I should have asked what you needed. Not what I thought... I felt guilty, too. I like the Fawn you are on this Island... The one I heard about..." Jody took a breath, the deeply concerned look coming back. He looked at a loss for words for a moment. "I know that person was a part of you, before. You've told me as much... but I don't-- I don't want them around. And I --know you don't either."
Fawn: "I did need space. I wanted it, but then I also wanted to be with you, and I thought you needed space and I didn't want to hurt you. I've been out of control the last few days. A mistress had to physically restrain me from hurting someone." Tonight was the first time in a while they weren't covered in the blood of slaves they hurt. " I don't even know who I am anymore. The Fawn I am on the Island doesn't feel like me, but I don't want to be the person I've been recently, but I liked it. Hurting them, tasting their fears. It is easier to be that person."
Jody: "Easier," Jody nodded, licking his lips and squeezed their knee a little, "But not better." He searched Fawn's face, his hand moving from their knee to their hand again. "Fawn... I love you. You're not going to be alone in figuring this out, or getting to a better, safer, frame of mind... I promise you that."
Fawn: Easier, but not better. They needed to remember that. To know that hurting people was wrong, people mattered. It was hard to remember and they couldn't be better for Jody or their friends, but for themselves. And maybe the first time they changed for the people around them, not because they wanted to. " I don't want you to call me that anymore. or for at least right now. Fawn is nothing more than a lie, a life stolen from someone else. But I love you too, so much, Jody. I was afraid you were going to leave me."
Jody: Jody frowned a little, obviously confused for a moment before realizing... that Fawn was a more feminine name. Their female presenting form being the last person... consumed, Jody wasn't even sure how long ago. He nodded, his other hand moving to cup their cheek again and moved to place a soft kiss on their lips. "I've had my darker moments, too.... You were there for mine, then. As long as you want my help, you have it."
Fawn: " You can call me Steele. I might have been a mess before here, but I wasn't always like this. I was a good parent before Fawn. I just tend to get so lost in people, it's hard to pull myself away and be myself but also be them. If that makes any sense." They sighed when he kissed their lips. " I do want your help, and I want to be with you. And I want to find a balance between everything in my life."
Jody: "I know you were," Jody said softly, encouraging when they mentioned their children, not long enough to interupt. He stroked his thumb over Steele's hand. It must have been a confusing life, back then. And Steele had told him enough to know that their parents had a lot of influence, a lot of old traditions and beliefs that Steele had gradually steered away from, especially since being here. "You've come a really long way... And, you know, relapsing doesn't erase all the hard work from before. It doesn't. I want to be with you, Steele. And most of all I want you to be happy or satisfied with who you are."
Fawn: For the first time in a while, they felt a bit better. Like they were no longer drowning in too many emotions and thoughts. They never noticed how easily overwhelmed they got when their emotions were out of hand. But sitting with Jody grounded them. They nodded, grabbing his hand again bring it to their lips. " Thank you for being patient with me, Jody. I will work on being better and not letting myself get so overwhelmed."
Jody: "I know plenty about getting overwhelmed." Jody smiled a little more, shaking his head and squeezing their hand. "That was, like, my constant state of being from the ages of 15 to 20." He gave a small laugh and leaned into them a bit, "But there's always a way out... Sometimes you just need someone else to help you find it."
Fawn: " I don't like it." They frowned, though they doubted anyone liked getting overwhelmed. " Do you still get like that?" They asked. " You know I am here for you as well. I know things probably haven't been the best for you either. And I've been so consumed by all my issues, but I am here for you as well. I want us to lean on each other, be there when we need someone."
Jody: Jody gave a nod at the question, smiling a little more ruefully. The trauma he'd gone through as a child, his mishandling of self medication with recreational drugs, getting sober and even with years of therapy weren't things to easily push aside. Especially lately, binding the power he was starting to come to realize had been... oddly trying to protect him. He moved to kiss Steele again, a bit longer this time, a bit more grateful and hopfully conveying so.
Fawn: Fawn hated to hear that Jody felt overwhelmed, but it felt nice to know they weren't the only ones feeling that way. That they could work through their problems together. Steele kissed him back pushing all their anger and confusion away as melted into his kiss. " Love you so much." They mumbled against his lips.
Jody: "I love you," Jody said back, without hesitation. This was exactly what he wanted, to know they were not in such an awful head space anymore, to know they could be pulled out of it and most of all wanted the help. They could deal with apologizing and forgiveness, if they recieved it, later on and deal with it then. Right now, it was important to Jody to make sure Steele knew they were loved and wanted and that Jody wasn't afraid of him. He reached between them, unbuttoning the buttons of his waistcoat, getting a little more hot despite the coolness of the beach.
Fawn: Fawn didn't have the best reaction the first time Jody said he loved them, but it felt amazing hearing him say it. They would love him regardless if he couldn't say it back but hearing him say it without hesitation was the best feeling in the world. Steele felt as if everything would be okay. They weren't alone and they knew that now. Their lips moved from his to his neck. " As much as I like your hair like this. I miss my old Jody's hair." They chuckled running their fingers through his hair.
Jody: Jody chuckled a bit, then flinched as Steele's fingers caught in a tangle, briefly, not at all helped by the spray on color and hairspray Jody had used to get it to stay back. "Ow--" Jody laughed a bit again, however, "I'm never putting this stuff in my hair again."
Fawn: " It feels like raw noodles." They chuckled lightly pulling their hands from his hair. " We could always take a dip in the water to loosen it up a bit. If you are up for it." They chuckled kissing his cheek.
@rhionsens and Dhani have a little adventure thanks to Basia’s illusions
Basia: Basia was sitting on one of the couches, very focused playing WoW on their laptop. The djinn was very quiet, wearing headphones and only letting the sound of their clicks fill the room, because they didn't wanna disturb the guy that was sitting nearby. Then, some warlock out of nowhere killed their character, and their patience flew out the window. "DET VAR NOGET PJAT!!!" they roared out, breaking the silence in the room. Well, so much for trying to be quiet.
Basia: (oh I know ndfbvjhbdfjh I love both their fcs so much)
Dhani: Dhani started so badly he snapped the lead in his pencil and looked up at the other across the room on the other couch. They had seemed to be pretty into their game so Dhani didn't say anything, before setting out on his own lesuirely task of sketching. Dhani sat up, needing to do so to grab another pencil from the case in his bag. He glances to the stranger, unsure of who they were or if they'd appreciate conversation in a moment like this. "Was that German?"

Basia: Well, the match was lost, that was for sure. At least it wasn't anything competitive, just matches for fun. The djinn left the group and then glanced up when they heard someone speak, staring at Dhani a little confused before they realized what he was talking about. "Oh, no, no. It's danish. I kinda reverse to my native language when I'm pissed." Basia shrugged, then felt a little bad. "Did I interrupt you from something?"
Dhani: "Oh no." Dhani shook his head. It wasn't a total lie and the broken pencil wasn't a bit deal, which he was already replacing. He reached for his sketchbook again, not hiding it, not shy about his art, naked forms or not. "Just surprising me. Sorry you lost. Or were killed."
Basia: Basia curiously tried to glance at the sketchbook, but wasn't sure if the stranger would appreciate them looking at their art, so they tried to be subtle about it. "Good to know, I'd hate to ruin whatever it is you got going on there." the djinn then looked at Dhani again. "Ah, I lost, but I should've expected it, the odds were... really stacked against us. That's how you say that, right?"
Dhani: "That's the phrase, yeah." Dhani nodded and smiled, glancing down to his notebook and shrugged, turning it so they could see. "I'm just practicing some stances and body movements. Full body figures, that kind of thing." He glanced over to the bar, "I could get you a drink? Calm your nerves a bit after a loss?"
Basia: Basia looked at the drawings now and widened their eyes a little. "Fuck, that's pretty... and kinda hot! You've got skills." They nodded at him and smiled back. "Ahhh sure thing. Grab me a bottle of iced tea, please? Any flavor works, really." the djinn then glanced back at their laptop and logged out of their character, but left the game open. "What's your name? I don't think we've met."
Dhani: Dhani chuckled at their compliment and got up, handing over the book so they could look at more while Dhani got their drinks. "I'm Dhani. No, I don't think we have." He went to the bar and found a bottle of iced tea, and made himself a rum and coke. "Are you a student or teacher?"
Basia: Basia grabbed the book and began to scroll through the pages. "I'm Basia, it's nice to meet you." The djinn introduced themselves as they kept looking at the drawings. "I'm a student, though I don't exactly know what to study so I'm kinda just... drifting." They explained. "I was supposed to pick something that teaches me how to fight but I don't like fighting." They continued before looking at him again. "What about you?"
Dhani: "How to fight?" Dhani raised an eyebrow and brought them the tea, deciding to sit on the same couch. "I'm here for creative writing and American Lit. Like martial arts or something?"
Basia: Basia grabbed the tea and thanked him, opening it up and taking a sip before looking at him again. "Oh, that sounds fun! And... yeah, kinda? Martial arts and stuff with like... actual weapons. I don't actually know, that's what I was told I should do but I don't really think I will."
Dhani: "Family thing?" Dhani asked, not sure how much they might want to share with someone they just met. "Either you're in the mob or you're supernatural." Dhani joked.
Basia: "Family thing. And yeah, I'm a djinn!" They exclaimed. There was no point in hiding it, they still had Sciro's face if they wanted to do shady stuff, so being honest in this form was not a danger. "And in my opinion its counterproductive to learn how to be super tough in a fight when you're one of my kind cause we can just... use illusions to get shit done. I can show you if you want, I enjoy making nice illusions for people I like."
Dhani: "Aw, thanks." Dhani smiled that they liked him. He gave a shrug, having been through the experience before and knowing that's how djinn's fed. It was pretty painless so Dhani didn't see the harm in it. "Sure. What's something... I guess that you like creating for people?"
Basia: "I usually like sticking into people's dreams or making them see stuff from their past that they loved. I met this cute girl a couple of weeks ago and showed her a pet frog she once had, she seemed to really like it." Basia smiled a little as they remembered that time spent with Lily. "If you want, I can show you something like that."
Dhani: "A pet frog? That's cute..." Dhani chewed his lip looking uncertain at reliving part of his past. Sometimes it was too much, though he had jude show him his parents when they were young. Seeing his mom like that was a bit heavy. Amazing and lovely but reminder of Dad getting on in age and how long mom had been gone. "Can you make something up? Like high fantasy or something? We could explore Rivendell or Endor or something?"
Basia: Maybe they were being too intense, they noticed Dhani hesitating and wondered if maybe it had been too much. At least he gave them a better idea, and the djinn grinned. "Oh fuck yeah I can! I stick myself into skyrim or some place in world of warcraft at least once a month. It's not hard." Basia raised their hand slowly, moving it closer to Dhani's. "Wanna go to Rivendell?"
Dhani: "I have been waiting my whole life for someone to ask me that." Dhani smirked, joking... but also deadly sincere. He reached out, but just before taking their hand he looked down at his own speedo, mandatory dress code for slaves for the summer, "Can you dress me like an elf, please?"

Basia: "Then let's go there for a little while." Basia liked their enthusiasm. "Yes, yes, I'll put you in something nicer, don't worry." the djinn gently squeezed his hand and closed their eyes. When they opened them, they could feel a cold breeze and noticed a nasty scent that made them frown. Once they realized where they were, the djinn went pale. "... Did you say Rivendell... or *Riverrun*?" The castle's courtyard was cold and wet and what soldiers they encountered looked half starved to death. Basia glanced at Dhani and noticed they didn't stick him into elven clothes... it was more like dirty lowly soldier rags. "I might've... taken us to Game of Thrones."
Dhani: Dhani closed his eyes as well and the scent immediately set him into thinking something was wrong. Even when Thorin's company was in Rivendell, tearing up the joint in the movie, it wouldn't have smelled like this. They had bathes at least in the deleted scenes. Dhani opened his eyes frowning. "This is definately not the Last Homely House--" Dhani looked down at his clothes and then to the other soldiers. Cold and more than hungry. Not the elegant court of Lord Elrond. He looked to Basia, "Seriously? Game of thrones? Can we leave before we get executed? You could've at least made me an Martell or... whatever house Diane Rigg was matron of."
Dhani: ((LMAO this has never happened to Dhani before he is so Put Out XD)
Basia: Yeah this wasn't good. They always messed this up somehow, got things and names scrambled up. "You mean you don't wanna stay and enjoy the siege?? Eat some frogs and drink muddy water? No? okay, okay, I'll fix this." Basia closed their eyes again and grabbed Dhani's hand. "Next time though, I can make you a Martell." They added before taking them out of there. The djinn opened their eyes and for a second thought they were in the right place. Kinda cold, but sunny and full of golden leaves. But wait... This was a human city, the center of a market, Basia turned to look at Dhani and noticed the man was in guard gear, wearing the purple colors of- "Rivendell- Riften- FUCK! I swear I am not doing this on purpose. My brain's mushy thanks to all the WoW."
Basia: (he should consider himself lucky, Basia could've taken them to some executioner's block accidentally lmao)
Basia: (their brain is a disaster)
Dhani: (LOL)
Dhani: "Was Pedro Pascal a Martell or am I thinking of the Rose Symbol clan? I can't ever remember anyone's names in that..." Maybe becoming the house of doomed Pedro PAscal, however handsome, was a bad idea, too. Better just stay away from Game of Thrones all together. Tolkien was beseiged with war but it seemed a more comforting place over all. Skyrim was a similar feel and finding themselves in... well, one of Dhani's least favorite towns wasn't so bad. "It could be worse." Dhani looked around, squeezing Basia's hand, feeling bad for them. "It could be Windhelm."
Basia: "Pedro Pascal was a Martell. Also, you sure you wanna be a Martell? Or a freaking Tyrell? Neither of those Houses have very happy endings, i remind you." Basia warned. Ah, at least Dhani didn't seem too freaked out with this new disaster of an illusion. Sitting both at a bench overlooking the little market, the djinn noticed when Dhani squeezed their hand. "At least in Windhelm you can slap Ulfric... though there are some slappable people here too. Like that Black-Briar lady." Basia sighed, trying to look at the bright side but this was a fucking mess, they always made the same mistake.
Dhani: "I didn't watch season 8. Let's just skip the grim-dark fantasy world of George Martin, hmm?" Dhani sat down as Basia did, seeming to give up a little. Maybe they needed a break. Dhani would think it was a bit emotionally exhausting generating a whole world like this, even pre-made. "Maybe don't talk about Ulfric too loudly." Dhani said, though he smiled, thinking that would be a fun idea, given they could sneak their way out or something. He looked down at his clothes now, wondering if they'd thought to give them any inventory or not.

Basia: "Never watch it. Life is better if you pretend it doesn't exist." Basia shrugged. They were happy to let go of that topic now. Now, they needed to take a breath just for a moment, so they could bring them to the proper place. Rivendell, not Riverrun or Riften. "True, we don't wanna get in any trouble." Basia agreed and began to stretch up a little. "Do you like this game a lot? I noticed you recognize it."
Dhani: "Skyrim and Fallout are my end all be all for my playstation. I've played Stardew Valley and Thief and Battlefront but Fallout and Skyrim I'll play for hours and hours on end without getting bored." Dhani smirked, looking to Basia, "I'm currently playing Skyrim as Bilbo Baggins with a few Tolkien themed mods." He paused, "Are youo okay? I wouldn't mind staying here for a bit if you need to... recharge." He shurgged. "Dragons don't normally attack these cities... We should be pretty safe. Just watch out for theives."
Basia: (I'm playing fallout while writing here and I can just say Dhani has some real good taste in games fdnjvknfk)
Dhani: (Its' me. I'm Dhani LOL. I'm playing Bilbo in Skyrim and Barry Berkman in Fallout 4. I am extremely proud of making Bill Hader in that fucking character creation. I'll see if I can find a picture or else I'll just link you the vids)
Basia: "You modded skyrim with tolkien mods- that's so fucking cool. I only got the one that turns dragons into trains, plus stuff to make it look extra pretty." Basia was gonna need a mod list after this. "I get a little tired making these. I just need a minute and we'll be good to go. We can go into the tavern and grab a drink if you want. They serve some cool ones here."
Basia: (omfg I wanna see that lmao. I don't play with any mods cause im on ps4. But im saving up for a good gaming laptop this year and the first thing on my game list is skyrim and fallout so I can mod the *crap* out of them lol)
Basia: (for now I just play fallout 76 in the ps4... awful, awful game, but weirdly addictive lol)
Dhani
(You can do mods on ps4! Damn I can't find my pictures 😟
https://youtube.com/watch?v=_CbZWTGcJko
Random spot in the first video I did )
Dhani: (Took me 3 and a 1/2 hours to make that fucking face LMAO.) "Thomas the Train?" Dhani chuckled and shook his head. He pulled off his 'pack' and searched inside, finding a lot of random stuff that had to be physically impossible to fit inside. Good old game mechanics. "Do we have any money?" Dhani took out a slice of cheese, breaking off a piece for them and handing it over.
Basia: (omfg they look really alike, thats amazing)
Dhani: (thank you thank you LOL)
Basia: "That's the one. I heard so much about the mod I just had to get it. Oh! Also added one that lets you wear Sheo's clothes... cause I think he is amazing." Basia admitted and smirked at him. "We can make money, remember we are only in an illusion. We can fuck around with reality as much as we want." The djinn clapped and suddenly- a purse full of septims appeared in their hands. The djinn held it with one hand and grabbed the piece of cheese offered to them. "Thank you very much." They said before taking a bite out of it and then getting up.
Basia: (and I know you can have mods in ps4 but I remember them not being as cool as the ones you can get on a pc ;-; I had some to make the game look nice and das it... also quicker leveling cause im lazy as hell lmao)
Basia: (but I wanna try out the stuff you can get on a pc cause it looks like it has much more stuff)
Dhani: (LOL that's true) "He is pretty cool. Slightly less chaotic than Billy Connelly kind of vibe." Dhani looked up as they made gold appeared out of the air. Of course. Dhani put a few things back in the bag. Then wondered why and left a few things on the bench and took the bag up, following Basia into the nearby bar. "I don't know, i feel like doing cool stuff in game isn't the same as trying it in quote unquote real life. Like if someone were to stab me here would I feel it?"
Basia: "I mean- it *can* feel painful if you wanna, but I do not recommend it. I've tried it." Basia admitted with a shrug, opening the door to the bar and entering with him. "But in here the only limit is imagination, that's why I like spending time inside of illusions... but I try to avoid it cause eventually one doesn't wanna come back to reality."
Dhani: "I could see how it can be addicting. Is that something a lot of djinns struggle with do you think?" Dhani asked, not knowing too much about djinns. Ace wasn't really that big on pillow talk and he hadn't asked Jude such indepth questions. "Yeah I did an Indiana Jones fantasy with someone and there was a bit of pain and adrenaline heightening. But it wasn't super bad..."
Basia: "I know some of my siblings did, and some gave a grand total amount of zero fucks about the illusions, so I guess it's something that depends on each person." Basia said as they went to take a seat at the bar, watching the argonian lady behind it and asking her for a Cliff Racer. "Yeah, it can be modified so it really depends. I stick to no pain unless I wanna train, but there's no point in getting stabbed if I'm just doing this for fun." The barmaid was staring at them, clearly a little confused, but Basia didn't care much.
Dhani: Dhani smiled almost apologetically to the argonian but decided it was better not to speak other than making his order, just the same, lest he trigger some side quest they didn't feel much like doing at the moment. It was pretty cool how argonians looked in a relatistic light. He looked to Basia, "Like any other addiction, I guess. Some people have that gene, some don't. What are some of your favorite things to do in an illusion?"
On the beach, Jody seems to be in a bit of a mood and takes it out on Andy and Fawn, berating Andy for decisions after becoming a vampire and the text command event. Dougal arrives and he and Andy talk things out.
Fawn: Fawn had found Anderson moping in the Quad and dragged him down the beach with them, the young vampire was beyond depressing to see and they wanted to loosen him up a bit, maybe take him out to have a real down. Ordering two beers they tossed one at the vampire ordering him to drink.
Jody (Cherry) joined the chat 3 days ago
Fawn: (Hello)
Jody: Jody arrived a few minutes later, getting himself a sangria, a twist on his usual glass of red wine. They were on the beach after all. He sat next to Fawn, giving them a sweet, not too showy kiss, but turned their attention to Andy, not having seen him for a while, but hearing plenty. "How are you adjusting, Andy?"
Jody: (Hello!! )
Andyy: Anderson rolled his eyes grabbing the beer, shooting the Professor a glare, though he did need a drink and to stop moping around all the time, he shrugged when Jody joined them." You know haven't killed anyone so I guess okay."
Fawn: (How are you?)
Jody: (Good! Better. House is relatively quiet. Big fight happened earlier this afternoon so unlikely to flare up again LOL Peanut is a precious bean asleep in my blanket. I'll post a pic in discord 💗 )
Jody: "That's more than okay, Andy. I'm proud of you." Jody spoke sincerely, looking sympathetic. He sipped at his drink, leaning against Fawn. He hadn't been making time for them lately and seemed tired... pretty much all of the time.
Fawn: Fawn grinned when Jody joined them, before turning to Anderson. " It is a big thing, you know. You should stop beating yourself up about it all the time." Fawn didn't see Anderson often but the knew through Eli that he was turned and the issues he had, but they got better.
Fawn: ( That's good.)
Andyy: Anderson felt like he was having an intervention with his parents seating across from them. He sipped his drink shrugging again. " It easier not to kill someone when you spend all your time alone and away from them.
Jody: "Maybe..." Jody shrugged, "Is that your plan for the summer? Just hole up in Dougal's house and avoid all your friends? Starving yourself won't be good for you either." It was almost challenging. A lot more careless in tone than Jody normally was.
Andyy: " Honestly haven't thought that far ahead, it seems to be working well for right now, so why not stick with it. I've been staying with Wade. And I'm not starving myself, I have blood at home, it just isn't fresh." He hated it. He wanted to leave the Island for the summer, but he hadn't seen Dougal in a few months.
Fawn: Fawn noticed Jody's tone but didn't comment on it, just shooting his a worried look. " Wade hasn't taken you hunting? He should at least do that, I am more than happy to go with you guys, if you need help with control, which you both do."
Jody: "Why are you at Wade's?" Jody said quickly, curious but obviously a little disapproving of the idea. Not that he blamed Wade, he hadn't spoken to him either, when he knew he should have.
Andyy: " I got into a small, to really important.. well, I broke up with Dougal when all the texting commands happened a few months back, I went to Wade's and haven't seen him since." It wasn't like he was avoiding him, he just went home when he wasn't there.
Jody: "Someone demanded you break up with Dougal and you just decided to stick with it?" Jody spoke incredulously. He shook his head, "Shit, Andy, if Dougal decided to not take you back now, I wouldn't blame him."
Fawn: " Jody." They said shaking their head at him. " That's rude." Though they were thinking the same thing they wouldn't have said it to Anderson, he was going through enough to have that on top of everything.
Andyy: Anderson glared at Jody. " I had a lot of other things to deal with than seeing him, and he had plenty of time to come see me, he knew I was forced against my will to do it, he knows I'm staying with Wade. If he doesn't want to take me back, then fine."
Jody: Jody looked away, only slightly rolling his eyes at Fawn for saying so. He took another gulp of his drink, looking to Andy, "He's your boyfriend, he's the one you're supposed to go to with problems like-- well, anything. So if he's not the first person you want to run to when stuff like this happens, then maybe you should be rethinking your relationship." Jody rattled off like it was some kind of challenge towards himself. He liked Dougal and the way Andy was acting maybe the elder vampire did deserve better.
Andyy: " I did ask you for relationship advice, Jody. But thanks." He said sarcastically, finishing off his beer. " I'm sure I'm not the first person in the world, wishing to deal with their problems on their own." He did love Dougal, of course, he did, but he wanted to be alone. " And technically he isn't my boyfriend anymore." He added.
Fawn: " Are you alright, Jody?" They asked now opening staring at him. They were unsure what he wrong with him, though it had been a while since they seen him, though they didn't blame him since they had been busy as well.
Jody: "So you've decided then. Even though he knows the text wasn't really from you, you decided 'Might as well'? That's not just running away from your problems, Andy. That's creating all new ones. Great job dealing with being a vampire by running away from someone who's struggled probably harder than most with it." Jody scoffed and turned to Fawn, disbelieving that /he/ was under scrutiny. "Andy's throwing his relationship away and you're worried about /me/? Yes, Fawn, /I'm fine./"
Andyy: " Well when you are murdered and wake up in a shallow grave, you can have an opinion, until then you can keep your opinions to yourself." He said standing up. " A relationship works both ways, if he doesn't care enough to try to help me, then why should I care about when I have enough of my plate as is. I'm going to go get a stronger drink." He said before walking away.
Fawn: " Anderson is an adult and is going through a lot, you are the one acting unlike yourself, so of course I am asking if you are alright, you are my boyfriend, I am entitled to be a bit worried about you." They snapped.
Jody: (sorry the kid had to get ready for a bath)
Andyy: ( it's all good)
Jody: Jody sighed, clearly angry but held his tongue as Andy walked away. He turned to Fawn, "He's not acting like an adult. Could've fooled me."
Fawn: " He never acts like an adult, doesn't mean you have to act like a child as well. He's going through a lot, you do the same thing when you are going through something, or have you forgotten?"
Jody: "I do the same what?" Jody turned to fully look at Fawn, eye brow raised, "/I/ act like a child? I have never fucking run away from you or threatened to end our relationship because I was 'going through some shit'. And I certainly wouldn't end it over some stupid fucking event the Island pulled." Jody was properly angry now and took a large gulp of his drink. He didn't get like this, normally, he certainly didn't swear even when he was angry.
Fawn: Fawn scoffed, " That is exactly what you did. When you attacked Elijah. I'm pretty sure that is your whole personality. When things get too hard you just push people away. I never said it was childish because I know you were going through a lot, so you could give Anderson the same courtesy and be a good friend, but no you are being an asshole."
Jody: "My--" Jody balked, looking indignant at first before his look softened and he seemed genuinely hurt, "My whole personality." Jody chewed on his lip, and spoke lower, but no less irritated. "I took /a break/ with you over hurting Elijah because I didn't want you to feel like you had to /choose/ between us. Because Elijah needed you then. I didn't."
Fawn: Fawn had to look away from Jody's hurt look, it was a horrible thing to say and they regretted the moment it left their mouth, but they were too upset to apologize. " You took a break and in the end I had to make a choice because of it. You were upset with yourself and you broke my heart because you had things and plans you wanted to do. I'm sure if we didn't end up on the beach on accident you wouldn't have told me."
Jody: "Are you finished telling me what I would have done? What were my fucking 'plans', Fawn? I was trying to figure out how to stop something that awful from happening again. I was trying not to use, not to drink myself to death every night because I could have very well raped Elijah if he hadn't hit me in the fucking face. I'm not going through all this again." Jody stood up, finishing off his drink and tossing the fruit and ice towards the ocean for the seagulls. "Talk to me when you decide you want to trust me again. Clearly you don't. I'm not entirely sure you ever did."
Fawn: Fawn sighed running their fingers through their hair. " Jody wait." They stood grabbing his arm. " Please... I am not sure what you did was wrong, just that Anderson is doing the same thing, god he almost killed Elijah, twice, I was there when he broke down, terrified of what he could do, so yeah he is behaving poorly but because a lot is going on, which is what you did. I didn't like it, but I still supported you. And I chose you, but we haven't talked so you don't know about anything going on in my life." They took a deep breath. " I don't want to fight with you."
Jody: Jody jerked his arm away from Fawn, but after mentioning not having spoken in a bit and not knowing what was happening with Fawn, Jody's jaw unclenched. He ordered a whisky sour from the tiki bar and moved to sit at the bar instead of in the sand. "So..." Jody licked his lips, looking reluctantly apologetic. "What's going on with you?"
Andyy: Andy made his way back toward them when he noticed they were clearly in the middle of something. Grabbing his drink he moved farther away from them, giving them their time to talk.
Fawn: Fawn watched him closer, ignoring Andy as he stay away from them, keeping their eyes on Jody. They took a seat next to him, ordering a drink for themselves. " Elijah had to make me pick between the two of you... I picked you. I didn't want to hurt him, but I didn't want to lie to him. So I told him I love you. We fought I was horrible to him, god I treated him so horribly. I begged him to reconsider, he said he would, and been avoiding me since, which I don't blame him."
Dougal (Malon) joined the chat 2 days ago
Dougal: ((where are you peeps))
Andyy: (Heyyyy, they are on the beach. Andy sitting in the sand, the other two at the tiki bar)
Dougal: ((okayyyyy))
Jody: "Is he still living with you?" Jody asked a bit more quietly and more concerned. More like himself. He looked at his drink and took a sip. "I've tried talking to him, but... I know I can't push too hard."
Jody: ((Sorry kinda distracted with Critical Role))
Dougal: Dougal hasnt been out of his house in a while ever since that event with the text commands. He and Andy havent talked since thinking they needed some space and plus he wanted Andy to spend time with his sire to build that bond that will eventually grow. Thinking the beach was a good idea he walks on the sand wearing shorts and polo shirt with a chair in one arm and a book in another. Seeing a small fire afar he heads towards it finding his boyfriend and two other people. Happy to see Andy again he walks up to him. "Mind if I join you good sir?"
Fawn: " He is, or I assume he is, I try not to spend a lot of time there, I want him to have his space, I don't want to scare him, or upset him, but I don't see him. I know he is going to class, and you know hanging out with friends, but other than that, I don't know. "
Jody: "You need to talk to him. You can't be mad at me for avoidance when you're here doing the same thing. I don't need you to 'pick me' Fawn. Elijah needs you to believe him about what happened and that you're not... abandoning him for me." Jody sighed. He glanced at his silver bracelet. "I don't think he believes this will work. But it has. I don't know how to prove that too him. I can't make him feel any better about what happened. But you can."
Andyy: Anderson wanted to let Jody and Fawn work out whatever they were going through and had no problem sitting alone on the beach, he just slightly when he heard someone speak so close to him. He moved to his feet when he noticed who was standing before him. " Dougal... hi. Yes, yes, of course." He said. " Please." He said softly.
Dougal: "Good to see you Andy." He smiled at his boyfriend before pulling the chair out and putting it down on the sand. "How have you been? I hope your doing well with Wade."
Fawn: " I know I need to talk to him, but he asked for space and I am giving it to him. I know you don't need me to pick you, but I did. It was either never speak to you again or never speak to him again. He knows I didn't want to pick, he knows I care about him, but I can't love him the way he wants me to. He wants to turn so we can be together, and I had to tell him the true."
Andyy: Dougal was in front of him, and Andy didn't know what to say or do, he missed him, god he missed him more than he thought possible, but he felt like a shit boyfriend, Jody was right he could have gone home, Dougal could help him with his issues, but he was selfish and stayed away. " You aren't upset with me?" He asked instead.
Jody: "Jesus. He doesn't." Jody couldn't believe what he was hearing and knew he should talk more seriously with Elijah again. He sighed heavily and reached over with his free hand not holding his drink, taking Fawn's. "I'm sorry..."
Dougal: "What your going through is a lot and sometimes being by yourself helps of figuring things out. Plus I know Wade was there to help you in whatever way Wade does." He chuckles as he kicks his shoes off and sits on the chair patting the open spot in front of him. "Sit with me."
Fawn: " It's my fault, I shouldn't have led him on, thinking something could come from that. I did at one point, but then we started dating and I should have make it clear to him then, but I didn't." They felt bad for Elijah, they did love him, they just weren't in love with him. They squeezed Jody's hand shaking their head. " I'm sorry, I said some mean things, which I didn't mean."
Andyy: Andy knew he didn't deserve Dougal, he was too good of a person, he was wonderful, and deserve someone who wasn't a complete mess all the time. " I'm sorry that I didn't say anything, I wanted to, just things been horrible to me, which shouldn't have been an excuse."
Jody: "Maybe we should all have a dinner date... Or something." Jody shrugged, clearly not confidant with the choice but wanting to do something.
Dougal: "Andy its okay, I understand that your powers and new body is really fucking with you and you havent been able to control. I want to train you and get you better at it and I know Wade will help too." He was a bit hurt but he could never stay mad at Andy, he was still a young boy and now being a new vampire he is struggling with a lot of more things.
Jody: (I gtg :< but I'm gonna post the archive I have so far so you guys can add to it )
Andyy: " It's not okay, I don't treat you well, and I know that and I want to be a better boyfriend, because I do love you so much, Dougal." He said. He might have been struggling with everything, but he needed to pull himself together. " I want to train with you, I wanted you to be the one to turn me and I know you wanted to be the one to turn me."
Dougal: "That is true I did want to turn you when the time was right. I thought turning you would be a poetic way of a 'proposal' to declare my love for you but its okay I can still be your sire in other ways." Dougal looks at Andy with his blue eyes and a small sad smile. "Knowing you will live for eternity is reassuring but the way you were turned breaks my heart. I wanted you to enjoy your life as a human and live it before giving it up."
Andyy: God, Dougal was too much, too perfect. " I'm sorry I ruined things. I'm going to be okay, though, I wanted to wait live more, but if I still get to be with you either way, then I don't care." He said. " I-I I was afraid you wouldn't want to be with me now that I'm not human." He hated that he felt that way, but it has been the worst feeling, it was one of the reason he avoided him for so long.
Dougal: "Why would you say that? Human, vampire, werewolf, it doesnt matter who or what you are Andy." He moves closer to the boy and cups his cheek kissing his forehead softly. "You are still you and that is who I love. That dork of a boy who dances with me in the kitchen and cuddles with me at night. The boy who gave me another chance at love when I thought I could never get it again. WE all make mistakes and we have to deal with the consequences but I will never ever leave you."
Andyy: Andy was beyond relieved to hear him say that, he launched himself into Dougal's arm, hugging him tightly. " I hated the last few months away from you, I missed you every day. I'm sorry for thinking the worst in you when you have never been anything but understanding and amazing. You are too amazing, and too good for me, but I am beyond lucky that you love me despite how horrible I've been."
Dougal: "Ive done horrible things too Andy Im not an angel either. Ive hurt people and broken hearts too. But as long as you are honest with me I will accept your apologies."
Dougal: He hugs the boy back kissing the top of his head, though the familiar warmth is gone the love was still there.
Andyy: " I will always be honest with you, I promise. I don't want to lose you ever." He said, enjoying being in Dougal's arms, it was his favorite place in the world, he felt beyond safe like nothing could hurt him, and everything will be okay. " I hate being away from you, I am going to come home."
Dougal: "Im glad Pumpkin has been missing you so much. I had been having her sleep with me and cuddling with me while you were gone. Alec misses you too."
Andyy: " I've missed them both so much, I am going to have to make it up to all three of you for being away for so long.
Dougal: "Then how about you spend time in the house with us. You can still go out with your friends but spend more time with me. And train extra hard as well and listening to my advice." He chuckles poking the boy's nose with a brighter smile.
Andyy: He nodded, he wanted to stay home more. He didn't want to go out and drink or hang out with his friends. " I would love nothing more than spend more time at home, and I will listen to your advice." He smiled, playfully nipping at his finger.
Dougal: Dougal chuckles and slides the finger into the mouth feeling the fangs and how sharp they were. "So what blood have you tasted since you were gone? Just human or have you tried other kinds?"
Andyy: " I haven't tried anything besides human, I did have some from this one human, he was a virgin so he tasted a lot better than the other ones, but I've been mostly eating blood bags, I don't want to accidentally hurt someone."
Dougal: "Thats good at least, ya virgin blood is super sweet just like fae's. But Im glad your drinking out of bags at least." He smiles kisses his boyfriend on the lips softly.
Andyy: " It was very good." So good he had to be pulled off of the boy. " I don't love the bags, but it is easier than hurting someone, I try to take some with me wherever I go, just encase something happens."
Dougal: "Good idea at least until you can control your hunger. But we can work on that together." He strokes Andy's hair with a smile and kisses him once more missing the boy's touch and lips.
Andyy: He nodded, " Okay, I look forward to working on it with you, Wade has been helpful, but I want to be with you." He said kissing him back. He missed kissing him, it was his favorite thing.
Andyy: (I sadly have to go to bed,)
Dougal: (okay ill make a thread for them. good night!)
At the waterfall, Jody finds Fawn sun bathing and informs them of his past returning, his conflict about Daniel and reveals more of his past than before.
@professorfawn
Fawn: Fawn put their hair up as they carried their basket to the waterfall, they wanted to spend the last few hours of the day relaxing and taking a swim. Putting down their towel and a water they laid down closing their eyes taking in the sun.
Jody: Jody was hoping Fawn was at the waterfall. Swimming wasn't something that Jody did much of. He didn't come prepared, but he was willing to sit on the sidelines and watch. But he had more to talk about than how beautiful Fawn was. "Hey, gorgeous..." Jody knelt down, kissing Fawn before they could open their eyes. "I need to tell you something important... Something we haven't talked about before... not really anyway."
Fawn: Fawn grinned when they heard Jody's voice and then felt his lips. " Hello, darling." They opening their eyes. " I am glad that you are here." They frowned at his words sitting down. " What is?"
Jody: "My past has caught up with me. Literally." Jody moved to lay next to them, propped up on his side on an elbow. He smiled, though, "I told you about my foster parents... I told you my mom... That I was taken away from my mom. That my dad was like me... I know I haven't told you everything and I'm sorry."
Fawn: Furrowing their eyebrows, they moved closer to Jody. " First, Jody, you don't have to apologize for not telling me everything, don't feel like you have to when you aren't ready and comfortable, and second, did someone try to hurt you, did they?" They asked looking him over.
Jody: "No," Jody shook his head and leaned over, kissing Fawn again, "No, I'm fine... But... I was with a bad family. Bad parents." Jody corrected. He didn't want to color Fawn's perspective of Daniel if they met him. But he didn't want Fawn being surprised either. "There's a new student and... he was ... he was my foster brother. I was with them for five years." Jody took a deep breath, "Two of those years were hard. Difficult. The next three were the worst of my life. Daniel... tried to help. Best he knew how. I just... I thought you should know. I don't think he'll tell all our life story but... I didn't want you caught off guard. You're my partner and I want to be honest with you."
Fawn: They relaxed when he assured he wasn't hurt, but they still frowned softly as he talked about his life. " I'm sorry they were so horrible to you, Jody." Fawn wanted to make a comment that if they ever found those people they would make sure they paid for hurting him, but they knew he wouldn't appreciate it. " Daniel? I met a Daniel a few days ago." They frowned. " I am glad you are honest with me. How do you feel about him being here?"
Jody: Jody sighed heavily and moved to lay on his back. "I don't know... A lot of things. Scared. Mostly. Not of him but... facing everything again." Jody took a deep breath.
Fawn: Fawn leaned down kissing his softly, " Well, you won't have to face it alone. I will always be here for you if you need to lean on me, I'm here." They said. " And if you need me to scare him away, I can do that too." They added
Jody: Jody hummed into the kiss, and returned it, touching Fawn's face. He chuckled, almost sobbing suddenly and took another deep breath. "No... I want... I want things to work out between us... I think it's going to take some effort." He moved to lay his head on Fawn's shoulder and wrapped an arm around their waist. "I do need you... More than I let on. Or say."
Fawn: " I hope things do work out for the two of you, but you don't have to forgive him, or at least, not so soon. It might have happened when you were younger, but doesn't mean you are over it, and please talk to someone if you need it, even if it is someone that isn't me." Fawn wrapped their arms around him pulling him closer. " I need you too, Jody don't worry."
Jody: Jody kissed their breast, squeezing them tight for a moment. "I... I want you to get to know him. I think he's genuine about ...wanting to be a better person. I just... I don't think I'm the person to help him with that. If that makes sense... It's a... I feel helpless." Jody paused. "He came into my office and I dropped a folder. Papers went everywhere and the first thing I thought was that his dad was going to find out I made a mess. That Daniel wouldn't help if I got caught. God, I felt so stupid..."
Fawn: Fawn didn't think they wanted to know the person that caused Jody so much stress, but what better way to learn if this person was here to harm their boyfriend, than getting to know them. " You don't have to be the person to help him, there are plenty of other people around that can help." They said. " You aren't stupid, and it wasn't a stupid reaction, he may not have help you, but he is a remainder of all the hurt you went through."
Jody: "...It isn't fair." Jody muttered after a moment. Not one to dwell on fairness or what ifs. But Daniel being here was a reminder of what the Kriegs had robbed him, and Daniel, of. He took another deep breath, closing his eyes and knew he should tell Fawn more. Commitment and trust. But too much too soon... It was so much. "We were abused. His parents were strict. They were scary. I was younger, quiet and non-confrontational. I was afraid of everything. It was... easy for him to make me take the blame. It was easy for them to believe him and not me... That I was a terrible influence... I kept... trying to get him to like me. Even thought he'd lie about me and I would be punished."
Fawn: Fawn's heart broke for Jody, kissing his forehead. " I'm sorry, Jody. For what his family did to you, to what he did to you, and what him being here is doing to you." Jody was an angel to them, he cared so much for everyone and always tried to do what was best, he didn't deserve for his past to be here, hurting him again. " You are a good person, always been, but he didn't deserve you trying to be his friend, and now he doesn't deserve even speaking to you. Don't feel like you owe him anything, you don't." Fawn tried not to be upset, or think horrible things like hunting these people down, or finding Daniel. Jody needed them, and that was what was important right now.
Jody: "I don't owe him anything, I know that... Except that I do. Even though, he doesn't think so either." Jody sniffled, taking a deep breath, but... he couldn't go further. Not all of it. Not now. "He tried to make up for it, in those next years. He gave me his books, his comic books... Things that would have gotten him in deep trouble. He was an abused kid, too, Fawn... I'm... I don't think I'm wrong in wanting to know the kind of person he is now. We didn't get the chance then."
Fawn: " No you don't owe him, and you are right he was abused as well, but that doesn't mean you have to give him a pass for it. What happened to you was horrible, you are entitled to be upset and unwilling to be around him." They said, running their fingers through his hair. " It isn't wrong, if he is a good person, then it just shows that you both have made it out on the other side, if not, then that has nothing to do with you."
Jody: Jody took a deep breath and sighed, relaxing with the feel of Fawn's finger through his hair. "This is hard... I feel like... I still feel like a little kid, thinking about him. I want him to like me, I want him to be my friend... I was so lonely back then. It's not my responsibility. i know it isn't... But he's here. And he's a slave."
Fawn: " You aren't a little kid anymore, I hope you don't feel alone anymore. You have all your friends, who love you so much, and god I love you so much. Maybe you two could be friends, but not if you are going to be hurt, because of it. For once, think about yourself and not everyone else."
Jody: Jody lifted his head and kissed Fawn on the lips softly. They were right, he knew they were. It didn't stop him from feeling that way. Or the guilt or anger he didn't want.
Fawn: Fawn smiled kissing him back. " If it takes a weight off of your shoulders, I will look out for him, so you won't have to. Make sure nothing bad happens to him." They would do it for Jody, if it is the same Daniel they met, he didn't seem too bad, but they knew looks could be deceiving.
Jody: "Thank you..." He kissed them again. "I do think he's trying... I think it's just going to be hard for the both of us. You're a wonderful person... And if having you as a friend could help me as much as it has... you can be good for him, too. It would be a chance for different perspective for all of us at least."
Fawn: " You're welcome." They smiled. " Then I will be his friend and try to help him as much as he allows me to, and if seeing him and being around him gets too much for you, tell me, and we will go on a trip, or lock ourselves in your house, and I will make you meals and we will do whatever you want."
Jody: Jody smiled and shook his head, "I'mm very lucky to have you." Jody kissed Fawn again, knowing Fawn deserved more and that was as good as Jody could do right now. Soon, he would be brave enough. Hopefully soon.
Fawn: " I am lucky to have you, Jody." Fawn smiled, kissing Jody back, it was one of their favorite things to do, hanging out with him.
