M.E; Un-cataloged Events. --- Missedstations&Relix | Cerberus poster boy? Really? That was slightly .. rude."Just charged the damn account so I can go." Ryan spoke, a small irritated huff leaving his mouth after. This was the usual greeting the male got after giving I.D to any shop keeper. They bring up the Cerberus account or the realization thathewas the guy from Illium. Either or, it was normally the same shitty response, poor attitude toward him.After a brief stare down between the girl and the Turian, he finally swiped the I.D. Charging extra most likely for everything, why not be a complete dick and do something like that?"Have a good day."Watching the Turian reluctantly hand him back his I.D, Ryan snatched it from his grimy paws before sliding it back into his back pocket. Grabbing the sniper rifle by the barrel, quickly pressing the button to make it shrink down into a rectangle. The Turian placing a small box down on the counter, "Thanks."Pulling the box full of grenades over the box that held his new equipment, Ryan waited for the girl to walk past him before following. Stepping out under the awning once more, the door sliding shut behind them."This is becoming out of nowhere, but, given that that guy wasn't very fond of me. Did you happen to have spare room where you were staying? Couch .. floor .. anything. Rather take my chances with you then trying to get a room here with my background." |
M.E; Un-cataloged Events. --- Missedstations&Relix | Isabel didn't care about being rude. She had never been the one for subtlety... They never sent her on diplomatic missions, let's just say. She had trained to use the combination of biotics and firepower for the maximum destructive force, after all. Bye, she told the turian brightly. She'd given her number to him in their earlier conversation... Call me up sometime, eh? For a good time. Her wink didn't go down too well, but then again, turians always were rather stone faced in her opinion. Entertaining in bed, though. So hard to hit on though... And it was surprisingly hard to find perverts who liked other species. Bet he charged you extra, she whispered at Ryan as she passed him out of the shop. She had slung her suitcase over her shoulder again, leaving him to carry what he had brought. I booked a room out in the colony, Isabel said, deadpan. Fat lot of good it did to anyone now! What a waste of money. Goddamn Alliance salaries. She really could make more money as a merc, but a sense of duty kept her in the same job. Any suggestions for trying to get a hotel room? I probably have enough to get one. |
M.E; Un-cataloged Events. --- Missedstations&Relix | Ryan let out a small huff of air as he tried bending down to pick up his bag. "This won't work ... " The male muttered, crouching down to place the boxes down on the ground. Picking up his bag, the male quickly slung it over his right shoulder, the bag hanging at his left side. "Better .. and probably the smarter option to do. Rather then drop live grenades." The male spoke to himself as he picked up both boxes once more."So, you .. bought a room in another colony which is a good hour away then came here to shop?"Ryan's eyes shifted left to right, that just doesn't seem .. smart. Why not just stay there and avoid the hassle of this crappy storm. Plus, this colony port as a whole is crap. Shrugging lightly at her question, ideas? No, the male had none. He worked for Cerberus so it would be .. highly unlikely anyone would give him a even decent room."I will pay .. or try to. The room quality might be the worst that the hotel has to offer, though." Shrugging lightly, the male only needed a couch to crash on .. or a carpet floor. Since the girl bought a room on the other colony in Feros, better for him to pay for it. The salary from the Alliance military was just oh so great, would probably turn out worse for her later on."Hello, sir .. and ma'am."The young girlish voice chimed from behind the register. "How may I help you today?" At least they were human, maybe they'll just cut them a deal or something."Room for two, please." Ryan spoke, placing the boxes down in front of the counter. Reaching into his pocket to pull out his I.D."Any special occasion that such a cute military couple came to Feros?" The girl spoke, smiling lightly as she cocked her head to the left. "There are a few deals on couple suit ""We aren't .. a couple. Just friends." Ryan interrupted quickly, handing her the I.D."Oh, I see .. my mistake." The pale girl's attention straying from both of them. "One moment.""There you go, sir." The girl spoke, her smile returning. That was .. shocking. No hassle? No bickering? Must have been a youngin' who was completely obvious to what the male had done or who he worked for. Sliding his I.D back into his pocket, taking the key card from the girl. "Here, Isabel." The male had too much to carry as is, she could hold the key card."Lead the way .. dear." Ryan spoke, a small devilish smirk appearing on his face. |
M.E; Un-cataloged Events. --- Missedstations&Relix | I did not come here to shop, Cerberus boy. The question was annoying, like it was questioning her intelligence. Who the hell was expecting a storm of this magnitude so suddenly? I booked a room before I landed, and I landed... Then the fucking storm hit, all planetary transport grounded. So there am I, waiting for the storm to finish and nowhere to sleep. I was planning on kipping on a bench until the damn thing passed. But... She let it go. It would be better to sleep in a nice room, rather than a very hard and rather metal chair that was probably made with the intent of making people leave as soon as possible.Isabel couldn't help but giggle as the girl assumed they were a couple. The only couple they could possibly make was one with a serious gun fetish, and even that was going too far. Admittedly, she had become used to sharing the weirdest of sleeping quarters... With the weirdest of people... So the type of room was irrelevant to her. But obviously not to him.She picked up the card, with far more energy that was necessary. Oh, sweetheart, do you know what they say about sleeping with biotics? she replied, a little mockingly. |
M.E; Un-cataloged Events. --- Missedstations&Relix | "From what I've heard," Ryan spoke in reply, keeping the topic alive as they walk down the hall, toward their room, "Biotics are kinkier then anything in the bed." A small laugh escaping his lips, "Its too bad I left my rope at Cerberus, I would've enjoyed putting that to the test." Of course, he never knew for sure .. hell, he was just going along with the girl. She brought it up, so, he was going to continue.The male watched as Isabel opened the door to their room room number 341. Not terrible numbers if you believed that sort of number luck stuff. Well, maybe ... going by Earth days, it was Friday. Three times four equals twelve, plus one is thirteen. Friday the Thirteen. Jason. Killing. Death. Awesome.Ryan shook his head lightly, attempting to shake the thoughts from his head. Needed to focus on the task ahead, not simple numbers that just happened to equal thirteen.Moving to the long dressed, the male placed the bottom box of grenades down before sliding the top box off. "Should I adjust the sights on the rifle?" Ryan muttered to himself, closing his eyes for a moment. Shaking his head no a moment after, he'll do it later .. probably in the morning because sleep will be deprived from him.Turning to face the girl, leaning back against the dresser before crossing his arms. "You take the bed, I'll take the .. " Pausing for a moment to look around the room, "Chair?" The room was simple bed made for two, two chairs, a table and the bathroom near the door. No couches, unfortunately. |
M.E; Un-cataloged Events. --- Missedstations&Relix | They also say you gotta keep us happy unless you want to be plastered to the ceiling. Or have a singularity on your penis. You know, she answered lightly, winking at him. Isabel had once used lift on an inconvenient lover... And dropped him on the floor next to the bed. He'd ended up in hospital, but that was nothing compared to what shecoulddo. Yay, Alliance trained biotics! Sure, they were never as powerful as say, asari biotics god, that fight she once had with an asari commando: took out half of Isabel's squad without effort but Isabel was practised and precise. It made up for a lack of sheer power. Hm, better get up early and do it then, she told him. Sure, he was talking to himself, but if it was loud enough for her to hear, it was loud enough for her to reply to. And that's a stupid idea. If there's trouble, I like the people on my side to be properly rested. We can share the bed. Oh, she'd been in places where she shared all facilities with men. Army. After a while, you lose all sense of shame, and learn that most people's curiosity can be solved with an elbow straight to their nose. Can always put a rifle down the middle if you don't trust yourself, she mocked. Like that Arthurian legend. Oh, how did it go...? Sir Lancelot put the sword in the middle of the bed... Don't think I'm comparing you to a knight in shining armour. |
M.E; Un-cataloged Events. --- Missedstations&Relix | Ryan let out a few small laughs at her statements, she was a clever one. That was sure. "Wait, you mean .. you don't want to sleep with me?" The male joked, "I am appalled." Smirking lightly, shaking his head momentarily. Stretching lightly, the male walked slowly to the window. He'd perch himself up here in the window to adjust his sniper sight .. act as if he was taking out a walking civilian. A round would not be fire, but, better to adjust against a live target then not.Placing his hands against the windows, the male watched at the rain pattered against it. A slight yawn quickly invading his body, shaking his head lightly. "We won't need a rifle to be down the middle of the bed. If I spoon with you during the night, its not my rifle that is prodding you in the ass in the morning, either." Grinning lightly, "But, if you wake up first and wish to help rid me of my uninvited guest, I'd happily return the favor.""Oh, and also, I like to sleep in the lightest amount of clothing possible. So, yeah, I'll sleep under the blanket, you can sleep under the comforter." Ryan spoke lightly, kicking his boots off his feet, setting them together near the table.A small sigh escaped the male, shifting against the bed, finding a comfortable spot on his side."What time did you want to head out? 0900?" Turning his head to look at the girl, "I'll be up around a bit before that so I can adjust my rifles, make sure I have everything I needed for our little expedition to ExoGeni." |
M.E; Un-cataloged Events. --- Missedstations&Relix | What, no one told you I was a lesbian? Isabel asked. Not that she was, but it had been a long standing rumour in the Alliance, virtually ever since she joined, and she'd never bothered to disprove or verify it. If she did, people would only make up something else. Soldiers. Rumour mongers of the universe. Oh, so you like the back door more than the front? she joked. Another useful military thing. Ability to makeeverythingdirtier than it needed to be. But, I'm sorry to say that I will not be helping you. You better do in the shower... And I will be using it first. She dumped her suitcase down by her side of the bed, then flexed her shoulder before unlacing her boots. Don't touch my guns, and I'm all good. She'd sort that out in the morning, the time to check the ammo, calibrate, check everything worked perfectly... Her familiar weapons had served her well for all the years of service. Here's hoping the storm is over by the morning... She said, stripping of her wet jacket. I hope we find something, or I will be fucking pissed off. |
M.E; Un-cataloged Events. --- Missedstations&Relix | The next morning..."Pow.""Pow.""Pow."Ryan sat in a chair pulled over to the window, sniper rifle out and ready to go. It was 0745. Still a bit of time before they decided on getting up. The male had already adjusted his sights .. now he was just playing target practice. Mimicking, rather poorly, the sound of a sniper rifle firing. It didn't leave his vicinity, whether or not Isabel was up .. he wouldn't be mimicking sounds like, 'BOOM! HEAD SHOT! BOOM!' He made it short and sweet, making sure he led the target into a imaginary kill shot.The male slept perfectly fine, was able to get in and out of bed without the girl from what he knew waking at all. Woke up in the morning on his same side, thankfully. Ryan enjoyed the thought of keeping his anatomy right exactly where it was, rather then keeping it in a jar. He didn't know what she'd do exactly, but, was better to remind yourself of one of the worst possible cases then test the waters to see.Isabel's last statement made before they stopped speaking for the night, rang in his head clear as day. He hoped they would find something, anything leading them somewhere else. Just what exactly he hoped that was .. well, was somewhere pointing other to Cerberus. Just make him look even more guilty then it already did. If the two were to find out it being someone from Cerberus, the girl .. well, wouldn't be off his case about it until they werelonggone from one another. Part of him believed she'd get his number through contacts just to say a simple I told you so.An inaudible sigh passed through the lips of the male, placing the butt of the sniper on the ground. Kicking the bottoms of his boots up onto the table, leaning back on two legs of the chair. Bending his knees to cause him to fall forward, slightly, only to have him push himself backwards once more. Rocking him there, staring out into the dark blue sky. Must just how Feros looked. There was a rain cloud in sight, thankfully.Feeling the legs of the chair go too far back, "A ah!" Ryan exclaimed, trying to stop himself from falling to the ground. His head pinging off the mattress before he slumped to the ground."Ow ... " |
M.E; Un-cataloged Events. --- Missedstations&Relix | Isabel didn't wake up nicely, and it was all Ryan's fault. She slept well enough, not caring that the bed wasn't hers alone. She was vaguely awake before the wonderful crash, but it was what made her suddenly sit up. How fucking old are you? Aaaaaand she could shout very early in the morning, almost as soon as she slid out of bed. No wonder you blew up half of Ilium, with the noise you make in the morning! Seriously, falling off a chair with a sniper rifle so close to hand? Not caring that he could probably catch an eyeful of her tits, she put a bra on, and then the tight fitting armour liner. Best start with what she was going to need. Please tell me you're not going to drop a couple of grenades at my feet by accident. This is seriously not giving me much confidence in working with you... She was used to working with people she could trust to always have her back, who she was sure were as willing to die for her and as she was for them. Ryan's past did not give her exactly much confidence, but she hoped she could actually work with him. Isabel was a professional, after all... |

Maybe that was why the Shadow Folk the Sheikah use to calm this land as their own. This ancient clan of ninja like warriors sworn to protect the Royal Family of Hyrule, even after death. Skilled both in magical and combative art. It is assumed that many died during the Hyrulean Civil War. The race grew ever more rare after the Imprisoning War, and were presumed extinct after the Great Flood. The Sheikah, well known for their tradition of passing down heirlooms and stories to their descendants One such story told is that none other then The Legend of the Sword of Time ..and where the keys to it are hidden.One of the keys to the Master Sword is on Death Mountain, as it the old man who knows where it is. Ahriman, the dark wizard knows one of the keys is there, thus he sends several of his enslaved Hylian knights to death mountain to find this old man, his secrets, and bar the way to whatever powers await the legendary hero. After all he can not allow the hero of time to wield this weapon.However, it seems something has been hunting these knights from the shadows. Picking them off one after another, quickly and quietly. But Death Mountain is known for its grave dangers ..but why then can t the remaining knights find the fiend that has been hunting them. The fiends that move threw the shadows .watching, waiting. At less ten shadows seemed to watch the remaining knights from the safety of the cliffs. Unseen by the ones they had been hunting. Hylians, well most would think anyways. Hidden by layers of cloth, light armor and bandages. That is until you saw one of these so called Hylians eyes .blood red. Just like the fire that burned inside this Goddess forsaken place. The red eye symbol adorning there clothes and flesh. A myth seeming to come alive out of the pages of the temple scrolls.Thgil was one of these warriors. A Sheikah just like her brothers and sisters, but her gender hidden away by her clan s clothing. The symbol of her clan tattooed over her eye, those bright red eyes. Watching the knights below them move with out knowledge of them being there. |
People Of Death Mountain ((Dark Dreams & ArcturusV)) | Int he back of his mind, he could feel the fear. It screamed at him, threw itself at the great shadow within his mind and soul that was the Dark Wizard's curse upon the knights and soldiers. It exhausted itself against the magic, losing out, unable to wrest control from Ahriman's desires. It left Janus feeling drained, aware of the terror that should be rampaging his heart, but his body and mind feeling nothing but the drive to accomplish the mission.He gripped his blade tightly in his left hand, the hylian shield strapped to his right forearm. His company marched in a triangular formation. Janus Strongarm, given the task of being "point" with the rest of the Knight having gone missing over the time on Death Mountain, only six lesser trained Guardsmen remaining of the company that had set out.Days ago they had found the cave lair of the Old Man. No one was there. That night three men disappeared without a trace. Two more fell to monster attack, one crushed by a boulder which seemingly fell on its own. The bad luck had continued, more men disappeared, some fell to monster attacks day and night. There was no signs left of the Old Man, his trail had just seemingly disappeared. All they could find was death and fiends.Janus could feel the dark wizard's desires in his mind. Him, and his fellows, would never retreat, no matter how many were lost, going to the last man if that was what it took. Fear, doubt, it existed, it haunted his twisted nightmares, but never was it strong enough to overcome the magic.His hand tightened on his sword. A dull instinct told him someone was watching. He had that feeling almost constantly, someone other than Ahriman. He glanced around, seeing nothing out there once again. Almost always the case, excepting the few times that he had caught monsters stalking him. |
People Of Death Mountain ((Dark Dreams & ArcturusV)) | Thgil and her group moved swiftly threw the rocks that over looked the few knights that were left. Now watching their steps more closely, having seen one of the men starting to take notice that something more was going. She was almost sure that he had seen her, and yet he did nothing time and time again. Yet again the fiends that roamed this land help keep eyes off Thgil and her small group.However, the formation the men where in seemed almost to good of a chance to pass up. Even if one of them seemed to take notice that most of the bad luck that had fell upon them was because of this goddess forsaken place. The "Shadow Folk" watching the troops below, almost as if they new what was going on inside their head...knowing about the dark magic that was controlling them. But they could not risk there clan being found or the old man that they where watching over.Thgil, kept watching. Waiting.....Perfect, with a slight movement of her hand it seemed like part of the cliff started to come down on top of them.Small rock, large rock a land slide, coming down on the group. Trying to trap them under the rubble, the dust rolling clear leaving a brief moment of anyone left alive to see Thgil watching them before she moved to hide. Only a brief moment, or so she thought. The land slide leaving the wall of the cliff weak and causing her to slip slightly as she made her way back to the rest of her little group. |
People Of Death Mountain ((Dark Dreams & ArcturusV)) | A pebble, a rumble, dust in the skies. The men knew that rocky doom was coming. Landslides were not unheard of on Death Mountain, and the troupe had already suffered through several. At the first signs, Janus's arm whipped out, pointing his longsword to the cliff in one motion. He screamed out "COVER!" as the men scrambled for the cliff side. Janus lead the way, pressing his back against the cliff at a point where it cut back in upon itself just slightly, giving the smallest overhead slope outwards, away from his spot. Kneeling down there, his shield raised overhead, he waved over his men. Three of them were too slow, large boulders raining down, knocking into them, one flattened with a crunch he knew could not have left the man alive. The other knocked in the chest as one of them rebounded off the ground, carrying him off the narrow trail they had been hiking up and down the next drop, far out of sight, his screams trailing off. Two more were clipped on their way towards Janus, an arm broken from the way it hung limp at his side, and another who seemed in a daze as he slumped against the cliff, having taken a fairly smaller rock to the helmet. Only one came out unscratched as Janus did, huddling next to him, holding his shield up, overlapping Janus's right side, the two Hylian Eagle insignias pointed towards the sky.Not that Janus thought a shield would stop a boulder. Not in the least. But he knew, in the back of his Knight's Training that such symbols and actions bolstered men where courage would fail. Bravado, false or otherwise, often carrying the day. Those reflexes still kicked in, despite the wizard's curse making such things as fear and morale meaningless. He huddled there until the rocks stopped rumbling. His shield moved aside slightly as he stood up, watching the sky for a last, unexpected surprise...... A figure, humanoid, hylian? Janus could see the barest sign of a leg as the assailant scrambled away, slipping on the rocks. He could feel the Wizard in his mind, studying the image and the memory, tearing apart his mind. His hand loosened on his blade, gripping at his helmet. It hurt so much. He staggered a step away as more of the Wizard's power entered his mind. He barely kept on his feet, his breathing ragged as the Wizard finally slipped away from him.He stepped back, picking up his blade, looking over the soldiers left in his command. He stood over the injured two, his face seeming to be impossibly dark, little more than shadows and bright red eyes beneath the helm. "We have no use for the fallen," his voice seemed to be two speaking in unison. His blade rose up, plunging with two deft strikes into the injured men, sliding between helmet and breastplate, watching their blood ooze out and their life fade away.He turned towards the surviving soldier, "Find them," he commanded again, in that dual voice. The man snapped off a quick salute, standing up as quickly as he could. The soldier walked towards the west, along the path, his eyes searching the cliffs above, looking for a place to ascend.And Janus just as quickly turned east, continuing upon the trail they had been on. The darkness faded from around his face. He felt weary but compelled to go on. He saw blood on his naked blade, but could not recall who's it was. |
People Of Death Mountain ((Dark Dreams & ArcturusV)) | Red orbs watched as the rocks took out all but two of the knights. No smile could be seen on their faces, not that some where not smiling...just that cloth, bandages and light armor seemed to hide all features of both face and body. The leader of the group of Sheikah that had been following the knights spiting his group. Keeping Thgil with him, along with another young warrior. Sending the others after the knight that was ordered to find them. In the end all that would be heard of that poor young man would be a scream. The answer of if he was dead or alive was another story.The group of three Sheikah followed from the safety of the cliffs, their attacks coming to a stop as the followed the last Knight. The one that killed two of his own wounded. They knew he had seen Thgil. Yet, no one blamed her for it. No the younger member even laughing about her slip up some. Seems your loosing your edge Thgil. the whispered earning him a swift slap to the back of his head as they followed the last knight.Yet, they knew that night was falling, and the knight was making better time then the Shadow Folk had hoped for. No at this rate the knight would reach the rest of their clan by morning. They could not have this happened, and yet the spots to place attacks where growing lesser by the mile. The cliffs slowly starting to level out in some areas. Being replaced by low deep holes in the ground. Mostly cased by lava flow from when Death Mountain last blew.It was leaving the Sheikah with little options left for attack. Soon they would have to face there foe face to face. It would be then the Knight would not be allowed to leave. Not waiting the world to know that the race of shadows still lived on in this place. No, if the dark wizard would find out about them, no doubt he would send his forces to Death Mountain and the race that was though lost would be. After all the Clan was no bigger then about 50 or 60 members. Not large enough to defined against the dark wizard's forces. This knight seemed to stubborn to turn back and cut his losses. It would be the leader of the Sheikah force that would show himself first to him. His voice muffled by the cloth around his mouth, but still loud, You know I really though you would have turned back by now Knight. Just as stubborn as your lord I see .. It seemed that his voice was with out emotion. The other two members of his clan joining behind the leader. Thgil taking her place at his right, the other at his left. Out of the three you could not tell who was man and who was woman. Every member covered with cloth, light armor and bandages. The marking of there clan worn proudly on there chest. |
People Of Death Mountain ((Dark Dreams & ArcturusV)) | The knight stopped dead in his tracks as the three Shadow Folk appeared before him. His shield still strapped to his right arm, his blade hung loose in his left hand, pointed towards the earth. He had been wearing out for the past several hours, his steps faltering from time to time, his shoulders slumped, feet dragging across the stones and dirt as he climbed ever so slowly up Death Mountain.His eyes looked out from under his helmet at the shadow folk, they barely seemed to register what was going on before him. They were horrendously bloodshot, sunken back into his skull. What you could see of his face seemed gaunt and drawn, dark circles under his eyes thick and large. He exhaled slowly, his body shuddering under his armor as he did so.His helmet grew dark. His face faded away in the shadows. The exhaustion seemed to be gone. He stood up straighter, his right foot slid forward towards the shiekahs, his shield raised up towards the three. His blade rose up behind him, held behind and above his shoulder, blade tip pointed to the sky over the shadow folks' heads. His eyes seemed to be replaced only by a yellow light that looked out upon them."Where is the old man?" he asked, his voice again seeming to be two overlapping, the higher pitched voice of the Dark Wizard coming through with his own baritone. |
People Of Death Mountain ((Dark Dreams & ArcturusV)) | The Shiekahs looked at each other, some as the knight spoke. They could hear the different tones in his voice as clear as day. Something there leader had not heard in a long time and something the two younger had never heard. Thgil and the other young Shiekah pulling their weapons free but their leader lifted his head, making them wait in their attack. Now why do you want the old man Knight. He is of no use to you or your lord? Yet, it seemed that they would be no talking to his man, or the being that was controlling him. Such pity it seemed, maybe the souls they had killed threw out their journey to find the old man were just like the knight that stood before them. A soul trapped inside their own body. Yet, they knew of the danger these men could bring if the Dark Wizard learned of the Clan s whereabouts. They knew they could not just capture this knight and bring him back with them. No, they could not take the chance, not knowing if who ever controlled this man could look threw his eyes. Turn back now, Finally Thgil spoke out, her voice almost genderless as she called out to him, If not your fate will not be kind. Again her leader lifted his hand to quite her. He knew that there was to talking to the knight, no they where talking to someone else it seemed. |
People Of Death Mountain ((Dark Dreams & ArcturusV)) | Janus's voice called out, overlapped with the dark wizard's still. "Descendant of the Sages... holder of the mirror... guardian of the Pendant of Courage..." His words came out slow, dripped with poison. Janus's yellowed eyes shifted from Elder, to the stranger, to Thgil as she spoke up. The man hadn't moved a muscle yet, but his stance did not waver. "Shadow blood..."As the last words drifted out from his mouth, the knight charged forward. He went to the right of the Elder, his shield leading the way. His eyes were locked upon Thgil, an inhuman war cry torn from his throat. He moved quickly, more than human right now, but just barely. As he passed by the elder his shield shifted to his right side, keeping the hylian steel between him and the other two as his blade struck out in an overhead slash at Thgil's skull. his heart was pounding, straining with the effort of keeping up with the dark magic and its demands on his body. |
People Of Death Mountain ((Dark Dreams & ArcturusV)) | The man's words seemed to catch them all off guard. Watching in shock at the knight by passed her leader and other in her group as he came after her, Thgil could not help but defend herself. Twin short swords already drawn crossing in front of her face to deflect the knight's sword. Catching it in the cross her blades made. Her leader and the other young warrior drawing their weapons now only to find the knight's shield between them and the man. Thgil moving fast to try and get of the way of the knight's attack.If anything she thought her leader would have been attacked first, and what was this guy talking about just before he attacked. His eyes seemed to lock with hers if only for a moment. Trying to bring one of her swords around to try and strike at the knight. |
People Of Death Mountain ((Dark Dreams & ArcturusV)) | There was a quiet noise coming from the man as Thgil blocked and darted away. It might have been a snort, or even a derisive chuckle. The knight's feet planted on the ground, not chasing after the run away Shiekah. His legs snapped out form under him, propelling him towards his right, away from Thgil and her counter attack. He kept his shield up, aimed to bash and batter at the leader of this little group. They seemed small, lithe, quick. He kept his feet churning as they hit the ground, attempting to use his size, power, and weight to overrun the two before Thgil could catch up. |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | For the span of several days, she'd followed a strange combination of lore, heart and blind instinct to guide her on this journey of finding one's self, one's heritage, and at the moment, some shade from the sun's blistering heat."I've heard the stories of Cutter's tribe crossing the desert, I'm just wondering how the old wolf chief managed to get everyone across in one piece."She mused to the great shaggy beast at her side who merely yawned his response while his nose was ever pressed to the loose soil beneath their feet. Sand, she recalled her mother calling it.Hours later, as the heat continued to climb, both elf and wolf finally sought shelter by an outcropping of rocks that seemed to come alive with several small lizards darting to a safe height to peer down at two strange trespassers in the unforgiving desert wilderness. Neither hunter had any drive or energy to try and make a meal out of the small creatures as they tried to wait out the worse of the heat.Finally though, they realized that there simply was no waiting out the worse since it seemed to go on forever and with a grunt of determination, Trueshot got to her feet and sent to the wolf who had been her sole companion since she'd started this half strung journey of hers. She sent to the exhausted sable wolf as he padded after her.When it wasn't trying to cook them alive, this treeless wasteland seemed intent on trying to freeze them as the nights proved to be the perfect polar opposite to it's brighter counterpart. Trueshot was thankful for her wolf friend's presence during those times, but it did little to ease the trouble in her heart as the two settled down for the night.Her water was down to half a skin, and her dried meat was even less as she slipped Dancer a piece of dried meat and then settled her weary head against his side while his great shaggy tail covered her up to protect her from the night's chill.The next turn of the sun found them both slow to rise and even slower to move out. She grunted as she suddenly pitched forth and for a moment, could almost imagine herself back within the deep green of the forest with the familiar sounds of treewee's playing up in the trees, squirrel's chattering about lost nuts and birds of every kind talking about nest making business. Yes, it had to be snow she was in and these past few days a dream, a strange and bizarre dream brought on by one too many dreamberries on an empty stomach.Only, she couldn't remember snow being warm or even tasting so foul, never slaking her thirst despite how much she tried to eat it. She groused as she pulled her head up from her last attempt to eat the snow that was not snow and spat the grains from her mouth. She tried to laugh only to cough and succumb to gravity's pull on her head while her wolf friend merely whinned and pawed at her, nipping at her to try and rouse her to get up. She apologized before falling silently. |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | Vannor squinted through the glare at the black dots in the sky. He heard the shouts of his compatriots, heading back to the village with a few hoppers and a bird they'd brought down, but he saw the circling carrion birds, and got a strange feeling. Foresight wasn't his gift, not like some of the others, but he had a feeling nonetheless. The birds were circling out on the Dunes, and no sane animal traveled out there if they could help it. They'd have to be mad with thirst, or a Wolfrider.Speaking of, he turned and sent back to his hunting companions even after decades of practice, he still wasn't very good at it, but it was a lot clearer than shouting at this distance, and he was thankful that his Wolfrider friends had been willing to teach him and the other Sun Villagers. A few shouts echoed back to him, and one sending: He tightened the strap on his broad reed hat as he loped across the sand, feeling the burning heat through the leather of his sandals. He idly thought how he'd have to get some new ones soon as he focused again on the birds. They were circling lower, an indication that whatever they had noticed, they thought it was dying. But they weren't low enough to indicate they thought it was dead yet. He hoped whatever it was, it wasn't too dangerous all he had was his short spear and a Wolfrider style bow that he was decent with, but certainly not up to the level of some of the long departed legendary archers. Strongbow was even named for his skill!Eventually, he crested a dune and saw something... it looked like a wolf, but it was a bit too fluffy to be any of the Village pack. Far too much cold weather fur. His heart leapt as he considered the possibility it might be one of the long departed elves, coming back! Cutter and Leetah and all the rest. He broke into an outright run, heading toward the glimpsed wolf, and began to send as strongly as he could: |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | The smell of a foriegn elf was enough to rouse the black beast and give him strength to stand on his feet once more after having abandoned any attempt to rouse his rider. Now there was a new possibility that the reckless female whom he'd bonded with would be taken care of as he sat on his haunches and pawed at her once more.Trueshot groaned as the sending hit her like a fist of feathers, brow furrowing and shoulders moving as if trying to summon the strength to lift her head. What was Dancer so worried about? They were back at the holt, at least so she thought, and now was the time for sleep...or so her body told her.And who in their right mind would be sending to her to try and wake her up? Everyone knew that she was cranky when woken from a sound sleep, unless it was important. Was it important? Maybe she was just dreaming someone sent to her. But then there was that familiar tingling sensation once more and she finally lifted her head to see the outline of a fuzzy form that looked vaguely elf.Only one elf would be brave enough to wake her in the middle of the day and she balled up a fist while narrowing her eyes at the intruder of her den that was not a den. She broke off as her vision cleared and she noticed that the individual she'd mistaken for someone else, did not look at all like a wolfrider. No wolfrider was as tall nor dark of skin like this elf was almost like staring into a pond and having the reflection stare back.Besides, Firebrand was dead, had been for at least one full turn of the seasons as she continued to stare before realizing she was not in the green of the wood, nor was she in her den but waist deep in that sand stuff her mother had told her about, shown her images of."Oh, High Ones..."She muttered before grabbing a handful of sand and throwing it at the strange elf. Surely he was just another trick of heat sickness as she felt a wave of frustration come over her. Did she make it this far to go mad and die of thirst? |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | He saw the sand hurtling toward his face before he even got a clear look at the thrower, in the glare of the day. It was a small thing to duck as he jogged, avoiding the main mass and letting the side spray rain onto his hat. "Hey, now!" he called out, slowing as he came near. "If you'd rather eat sand, I'll go away, but I have water, if you'd care for some."He sized up the wolf, which seemed bedraggled and exhausted and heat sick, but not aggressive. If anything, it had probably recognized him as an elf, and in his experience with the Wolfriders, their mounts were friendly to elves unless their riders were actually on the warpath. And he wasn't showing any aggression, so the wolf seemed to be letting him approach in peace.It was the elf that was causing the issue she looked worse off than the wolf, and if the poor animal had possessed the strength, Vannor was sure it would have dragged its rider onward a bit more, perhaps all the way to the Village, if it could have scented it. But as it was, he was glad he'd arrived as soon as he did it would have been a matter of hours before it wouldn't have mattered.He paused a non threatening distance away, hooked his shortspear into the crook of his arm and unlimbered his waterskin, still about half full. "Really, though, it's fresh water. Straight from the village well." |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | Was..this image brought on by heat sickness trying to anger her? Still unconvinced entirely that this was an elf and not some sort of illusion, the scent of fresh water however roused her and she lifted her head once more. The water smelled real enough and with a silent curse and gritting of her teeth, Trueshot was up half way and reaching out for that water skin while Dancer licked at her face to remove the grains of sand from around her mouth. She sent to the dark beast who merely huffed in annoyance at his rider as she snatched the skin and took a long drink. It was real, which meant that the elf who'd brought it to her was real as she pulled the skin away with reluctance and pried open the wolf's mouth so that he could get some water as well.Large eyes turned upwards to stare once more in her savior's face, this time a little less hostile and with less sand throwing in mind as she shakily stood to her feet while the wolf spluttered indignantly at having water poured down his gullet. He was doing far better than his elf friend at the moment, though admittedly not by much. Still, she'd been the one near death..."I'm sorry I thought you were a heat sickness illusion."She apologized, feeling more than a bit foolish for showing such rudeness to distant kin on the first meeting. Her mother had always admonished her when she was a cub for being reckless and impulsive. An 'arrow too eager to fly before checking it's mark.' Her father had teased her before."I.."What? What did she say now?I crossed the desert and left the holt in search of the Sun Village because my mother was one of you?Somehow, that just sounded utterly foolish even though she'd have blurted it normally. Why was she suddenly so self concious around this strange elf? They were all children of the High Ones, right? Then again, taking the journey alone like she had was also a foolish venture."I um...don't suppose you'd be willing to show me where this well of yours is, would you?" |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | "It's all right. Heat exposure does that sometimes." He listened to her ask about the well, and offered his hand. "I am Vannor. And of course! You're welcome to come to the Village! You're a Wolfrider, yes? You and your kin are always welcome. In fact, we do have several of your kin still living with us, if you'd care to meet them. When most of them left, a few stayed behind, to help us. Come and meet them!"He smiled at her and let her keep the waterskin. "Can I ask your name? And, perhaps, the name of your wolf friend?" |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | There were Wolfriders here in the desert?! But with such questions and an introduction, it made conversation much easier now that she didn't feel like she was going to expire any time soon."I'm Trueshot."She replied, taking his hand and feeling a slight tingle course through her as if the last vestiges of doubt were destroyed by that simple contact. Yep, he was real alright as she followed him back to the village with Dancer right at her heels.After another careful drink from the skin and lowering it to drip so that her wolf could lap at the droplets of moisture, she cleared her throat to answer him."I'm only part Wolfrider. My mother was actually one of you."She recalled, seeing the image of her lovely mother's face in her mind and the stern yet friendly face of her father."And this is Dancer."As she pulled the skin up and drank once more. "My first wolf friend."She smiled as her bronzed hand rested upon the sable fur atop her mount's head."But your folk ride those..zwoots, I think my mother called them?"She asked, curiousity and interest coming alight in her eyes. |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | "It's good to meet you, Trueshot. And you, Dancer." Vannor tried to gauge how shaky she was the water was helping, but he was ready to help support her if she wavered. "If by 'one of you' you mean a Sun Villager, then of course, you're doubly welcome. You're not a child of Cutter and Leetah's, are you?" He, and the rest of the village, had heard from Savah's contact with Cutter's tribe that Leetah and Suntop were trapped in time with Rayek, but anything could happen, so perhaps they had gotten free?... and had been together long enough to have a third child and grow her to this apparent age. No, that was unlikely. There had been others that had traveled to visit the distant Holt over the centuries he ran through the names in his mind as he gazed at her, but he could not identify any features in common she must take after her father in appearance."Well, regardless, you're an elf, and therefore we are kin, no matter what tribe or people you are from." He gestured back in the direction of the village. "But come, the heat of day is no time to be standing and talking about this. Let's get you two back to safety, where you can recover in peace." Making sure they were following, he started to lead the way back home. "And yes, we do have a number of zwoots, but not enough for everyone to ride them. Hunting parties and such still go on foot. We mostly use our beasts for farming and carrying large loads. We have a new invention, a platform with wheels, that a zwoot can drag. Saves lots of time and effort during harvest season!"He grinned at her. Talking everyday inconsequential things was soothing, and he hoped she would relax. At the same time, he found himself getting excited. A new face, with new news, new stories, new skills. There was very little new in the Village of the Sun, so fresh perspectives were something to get excited about. |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | "Cutter and Leetah's cub? Oh no, I'm afraid they were before my time."She explained with a bit of a chuckle, having heard the stories of the Kinseeker and his crazy adventures. Her tribe had actually been descendants of the splinter group led by Cutter's girl cub, Ember who had eventually settled in some woods away from the threat of the five fingered ones for many eights of the season."My mother told me stories of when Cutter came through the Sun Village, how she'd even joined up with Dart and became one of his Jack Wolf riders for a time before they disbanded. It was when Chieftess Ember and her group were searching for land of her own, Mother left to go with them."Trueshot explained as they walked to the village."My father was one of the cubs who came after Chieftess Ember finally Recognized with Tier, the Father of Wolves as we called him. Their cub became chief and the tribe's number grew so that the old ones could join those who had gone before them in the Palace. "Her voice trailing off for a moment as she thought back to the loss of her lovemate, trying to push the pain of his loss as well as the dull ache that came of thinking of her parents."At any rate, you don't ride zwoots? How do you catch game on foot? Are you that fast?"She asked before accidently knocking into Vannor when the excitement grew to be too much in her current state. What she needed was to lie down in some cool and dark place so she could rest and recover from her crazy journey."Mm..sorry. "She apologized as her hands smoothed up his arm and she righted herself. Was the wolfblood in her veins stronger than the blood of her mother's people? Only time would truly tell. |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | He listened to her recitation of her heritage, and marveled a bit. Had it been so long? Or were the Wolfriders really so fast to develop and mature? It was a wonder to him how she could speak of such happenings so casually splitting tribes, Recognition, elves going on to the Palace dying, he knew, but for a few who actually WERE in the palace.. He was respectful of her apparent loss, at least of her tribe, since she was here, but he sensed maybe there was more to it. But he was respectful, so he stayed quiet as she spoke.But then she asked a question, and as he was about to answer, she stumbled or weaved and bumped into him. His hand came up to support her as hers smoothed down his arm, leaving trails of paradoxical coolness in he heat. "Don't worry," he said gently, "you're likely to be dizzy for a bit. The sun does that.""We don't hunt for much, just small game. Bows are perfectly good for that sort of thing we go out as a group to help each other learn to track, learn to hunt, and it's a good reason to get away from the Village. A zwoot would make too much noise, and frankly, it would be over too fast!" He chuckled at that. "If there was a large beast we needed to hunt, we might ride zwoots to chase it down, but there's not much like that here in the desert. Maybe a few predators." He thought of the large sand cat that had come through a decade or two ago. "That's another reason it's good to go out on foot, to see if we can see tracks or sign that something big has been prowling around. It's harder to see the evidence of that when you're up on a zwoot."He cocked his head at her, his arm still supporting her companionably by the elbow. "If you're curious, I can arrange for a zwoot ride when you're feeling better. Probably won't compare to riding a fast wolf, but it might be interesting." |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | At the suggestion of her riding anything other than him, Dancer seemed to huff in annoyance as though he could understand everything this strange elf was suggesting to his rider. Even gave Trueshot a warming bump of the head which only succeeded in further knocking her into Vannor."You rockhead.."She muttered, though if it was to herself or to the wolf, it was hard to say as she let the Sun Villager's taller form support her just as they reached the first of many huts, she recalled the strange ground holts being called.Villagers, curious about the arrival of a strange elf, began to pour out of their homes to have a stare, some whispering to one another as each tried to make a guess as to who she might be and where she'd come from since it had been many, many, many turns of the season since they'd had a visitor in their desert oasis. To see so many faces that bore a likeness to her mother made her feel as if something inside of her that had been sleeping for so long had finally awakened. A connection of two halves of her being as her lips turned upwards to offer a bright albeit shy smile to the villagers."Fetch the Mother of Memory!"Someone called as Trueshot gave a slightly pensive glance at Vannor. The Mother of Memory? She was hardly in any condition to be recieved by such a revered figure of this village. The very idea of her seeing Savah at the moment sounded about as foolish to her as offering twigs as an offering to Timmain herself. |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | Vannor's return sending was gentle and reassuring, but still conveyed some amusement. He guided her to the large hut with the few windows, and there was already a fresh bed waiting for her, with cool water and a smiling nurse to help her get comfortable. "Here, now," Vannor soothed, "space to lie down in, and even room for Dancer next to you." He hesitantly patted the big wolf as the nurse took over. "This is Arehya she'll help take care of you until the healer gets here. You may have heard of Rainsong and Woodlock's child? Still healer of the village. So you'll even see another Wolfrider soon."He made sure she was comfortable, with Arehya's help. "Let me just get a larger bowl of water for Dancer, okay?""Already done," whispered a gentle but rich voice from the doorway, and the very tall and slender Savah bent to enter. Her robes swathed her in sky blue, and she carried a broad earthen bowl nearly full of water fresh from the well. "But you can give it to the honored wolf, please. I should greet the wolf's rider."There was not a convenient chair, or throne, such as befitted the Mother of Memory, but Arehya gave up her stool, and the elder elf accepted it gracefully. Once seated, she turned her huge, irridescent, and supremely peaceful eyes upon Trueshot. "You are most welcome, Wolfrider. Your kin of both your bloodlines are eager to see you... when you are rested. But I chose to greet you as soon as possible." She leaned forward fractionally and tilted her head in a conspiratorial manner. "I do have a bit of influence in this village, you see," she confided, as if sharing a secret, and the ghost of a mischievous smile played around her lips, but was gone as fast as the twinkle in her otherworldly eyes."I do have to ask, however: does your visit herald a crisis? Is there an emergency we should be aware of? I don't mean to alarm you, but if there is something urgent we must attend to, I would merely prefer to attend to it sooner, rather than later." |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | Both wolf and elf sighed with relief once they were led inside the healer's hut and laid upon comfortable bedding that certainly beat the rocks and other things they'd been bedding on as of late. Not to mention the water that helped not only cool them, but rehydrate them.Her eyes had never really gotten used to the bright glare of the sun after having spent all of her life in the deep woods, as well as the nocturnal hours that the Wolfriders kept. It made her wonder how her mother had adjusted to such living, but then perhaps that could have been because of Recognition.Before she had a chance to thank Arehya for the water, the tallest elf she'd ever seen stepped inside the hut and a quiet awe fell over the new comer. She'd seen images of Savah from the images her mother had shown her via sending but they hadn't done the woman any justice! The honored and revered Mother of Memory smiled at her warmly as if she were a lost daughter who had come back to the safety of her bossom.Dancer wasted no time getting up to lap up the water eagerly while his rider struggled to sit up so as not to be rude while her dark violet eyes rounded like a cub seeing her first snow all over again."No..no there isn't anything to be alarmed about, Mother of Memory."Trueshot replied quickly to put the elder's heart and mind at ease."My reasons for coming were purely personal, I assure you. My mother spoke often of her home land and I was curious to see it for myself. With my chief's blessing, I made the journey."Even though blessing was only one way of putting it.Chief Wintercalm had expressed his unease about her going through the desert, having heard the stories from his chieftess mother from her father, the famous 'Kinseeker' himself, Cutter. His grandsire had been lucky not to lose anyone though why take the chance? If she insisted on going to meet her kin, she could do so with two others of her chosing.But Trueshot wanted to see for herself which of her parent's blood was stronger in her veins. Was it the Sun and Desert that would emerge triumphant or would it be the Wolf and the Woods? She couldn't know if she had others to rely on so, she'd left early when everyone had gone 'tree' for the day."I'm grateful for your generosity, Mother of Memory, and apologize for arriving so abruptly like this." |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | "You have nothing to apologize for," Savah said with a gentle smile. "The abruptness of your arrival is no concern, next to how we first met the Wolfriders! You are welcome here. I just wish we'd have known to look for you, you might not have suffered such hardship, you and your bond wolf." She smiled at Dancer. "Oh, he looks like a big one. When he meets the wolves in the caves, he ought to establish himself quickly."She stood, now, and inadvertendly bent over the bed attempting not to hit her lovely headdress on the ceiling of the hut. "You should rest now, let Arehya tend to you. You'll feel better shortly, and then you can meet the rest of the village. Vannor, please accompany me. Our honored guest needs to recuperate.""I'll see you soon," he said, smiling at Trueshot as he left with the Mother of Memory. They stepped out into the throng of curious villagers, and walked away as the crowd parted before them they all knew Savah and Vannor, after all."So you found her out in the wastes?" Savah asked casually."I noticed the birds. I was curious as to what was out there.""You have much power, but no magic as yet, Vannor, and it's been centuries. I wonder... I wonder if you ability is purely mental."He paused, thinking. "I suppose it could be. But I still don't feel this power you speak of. I don't know what it's supposed to feel like."Savah chuckled lightly and patted his shoulder. "You will. All things in the fullness of time. Now, you should rest, too. I think Trueshot is going to need a guide when she's recovered, and I can't think of anyone better than yourself to handle the task." |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | As soon as Vannor left, she settled a bit uneasily into the comfortable bed, listening to the sounds of other elves whispering amongst themselves and the occassional sloshing of water when Dancer decided to drink more water. The Mother of Memory was even more impressive looking when face to face with her versus the mental images her mother had shared with her.No doubt if her mother were still alive, she'd admonish her for taking such a risk, her father would probably simply laugh and shake his head as he tended to do when she did something reckless. And Firebrand? She didn't want to finish that thought as the sound of conversation took on a familiar tone. Like the wind whispering through the leaves and before long, she was deeply asleep.A wet tongue slapping it's way across her face roused her and when her eyes opened, she realized that the sun had long since set, marking how many hours it'd been since she arrived and had been resting.Once his bonded was awake, Dancer pawed at her earnestly and she grinned, knowing they shared the same sentiment. It was time to hunt in this new land and explore what the desert had to offer. It was the best place to learn about one's surroundings after all, and after so much sleep, she could use some fresh meat and so could her mount.She sent to the sable beast as he began to prance eagerly towards the door while she grabbed her quiver and bow, then slipped out of the hut.The moons were full, casting silver light upon the sleeping huts as she inhaled deeply and made it a point to stop by the well to fill her water skin. Once it was full, she settled onto Dancer's back and the two were soon off towards the canyons in search of prey. |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | The sound of the local wolves echoed through the rocks of the canyons they were not the only wolves on the prowl tonight. But the pack was out, spread on the countryside, hunting. Small game was still available, out in the rocks and dunes, and both the elves and the wolves hunted it. But it took some searching. Still, that was half the fun.There were distant calls of challenge, warning a few elves who were still awake in the village raised their heads at the different sounds of the animals, echoing from the desert. But there would be time for the wolves to establish their new pecking order with Dancer after the hunt was done, and they had food in their bellies and energy to spare.Vannor heard the calls, too, and left his hut. He knew without checking that Trueshot was not in the healer's hut any longer. Just like he knew that the few Wolfriders still in the village were out in the desert, as well. It only made sense their blood would call them out. He didn't know what else to do, but he took his gear and went out to the rocks, climbing to the highest peak to look out to where she'd be hunting. He couldn't help it any more than she could help going out to hunt he wanted to keep watch, to make sure she was all right. He'd saved her life, and as a result, he felt responsible for it. He couldn't keep up with her on the hunt, not with her riding Dancer. But he could keep an eye out, see if he could glimpse her. That was something he could do. |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | Both of them seemed to come alive under the light of the dual moons as the scent of small animals seduced the senses of elf and wolf keen eyes on the lookout for something to fill their bellies.Eventually from under the scrub brush a small pig like creature trotted out to root around for something to eat, grunting and wiggling it's tail in obvious excitement when it found a cache of roots. This would do nicely and she could even offer her kill to those Wolfriders here amongst the desert dwellers in good faith.She told the wolf beneath her as she notched an arrow and let it fly, hitting the prey thing in it's right rear flank. A scream sounded from it and Trueshot was already preparing another when the creature whirled and pawed at the ground angrily. A challenge? That suited her just fine as she waited for it to charge.True to his name, Dancer gracefully danced out of range of the pig's tusks and gave his rider an opportunity to pierce the side of their quarry with another arrow, bringing it to the ground. Dismounting, Trueshot pulled the knife that rested in her boot and with one well placed stroke, ended the creature's suffering.Tilting her head back, she howled with Dancer joining in to alert any and all Wolfriders as well as the wolf pack in the area that she had fresh meat to offer in good faith and the spirit of kin. |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | Answering howls sounded in the distance, and a few friendly sendings, as well By the time she and Dancer brought the boar back to the caves near the village, the local pack and three Wolfriders were waiting. Dancer bristled as the other wolves growled, but he was easily half again the size of most of them he would have little trouble finding his place in the hierarchy. Sparring for position was natural, and necessary, but he didn t want to do it with Trueshot on his back.The other Wolfriders were more friendly. Well met, said the eldest, a blonde male. I m Mender. I glanced in on you while you were in the sick hut, but you were well in hand, and I could tell you didn t need my services. You re you re a child from Ember s tribe aren t you? A complicated look passed across his face. Of course she knew who he was, even though he d left the tribe before she was born, to seek his past and find his future.A woman stepped up. I am Featherfall. I came out of Cutter s tribe, but though one thing and another, ended up back here. She grinned, and then gestured to the shy, dusky skinned boy behind her. And this is my son, Stonetalker. His father sleeps in our hut right now, but the wolf is strong in him. Stonetalker blushed and buried his face in his mother s back.Mender piped up, apparently recovered from whatever emotional reaction he d had. Looks like an excellent hunt for you! Can we get a better look? |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | Placing a hand on Dancer's back to quiet him lest a fight should break out, Trueshot's eyes rounded a bit when the trio stepped into view and addressed her. Of course she'd heard of Mender even if he was before her time, a legend in of himself what with his healing abilities and many adventures."Shade and Sweetwater."She greeted them as she nodded to each as they introduced themselves or were introduced in turn. To be surrounded by kinfolk was like a rush of springtime to her heart as well as to be in the land of her mother's folk as she grinned and cut a slice of meat from her kill, offering it out to them."Please, by all means share with me."She offered as Dancer bumped her thighs and gave a grunt as if to remind her that he was there and hungry as well. Chuckling softly, she cut another slice for him and tossed it in the air where powerful jaws snapped shut and he began to eat."All I needed was a bit of rest and some water."She smiled at Mender as she glanced at the wolves and held her hands out for them to sniff and lick at their discretion, keeping her eyes out for the alphas so she'd know who to show more affection to."I got the idea to seek some of my mother's people out after hearing stories of Cutter and his small tribe cross the desert, it was risky but the High Ones were with me, fortunately. Vannor was the one who found me and brought me here to the village."She continued to explain as she glanced over at Featherfall and her young son, arching a brow in question before speaking once more."Your son, his father is a Sun Villager?"She asked. |
Home is Where a Restless Heart Roams | The local wolves were pleased to welcome another Wolfrider, sensing the wolf blood but recognizing the elf side took precedence. They kept a wary distance from Dancer until he'd challenged his way up the ranks to where he couldn't overcome, he would be a dangerous unknown, in their eyes. It was the pack way, the way of all wolves the world over, and something she understood at least it wasn't a deadly challenge, just will and snarling and occasional teeth, but even just drawing blood was extremely rare.Once they knew where he stood, they also would welcome him, but Trueshot knew Dancer would have a better go of it if she let him eat first, and no wolf from the local pack was pushing the issue, probably because Dancer was bigger than most. He might even end up as the new alpha, if his will was strong enough. Thankfully, elves were not so strict about pack ranking as their furrier siblings beyond the chief, no one needed to challenge each other for status."I've crossed the Burning Sands twice, but never alone and unprotected on wolf back," Mender observed, chewing. "I can't say that I recommend it," he said in a wry tone. "But it's good you arrived, and drew Vannor's attention. Yes, we've all heard of how he followed the circling birds you've been the talk of the village all afternoon and evening."Featherfall grinned. "You'll be quite popular as a playmate all the eligible bucks will be wondering what a wild, untamed Wolfrider is like." She winked. "And some of the does, too, no doubt.""Your son, his father is a Sun Villager?"She nodded, smiling. "Yes, Hallovahn. It wasn't Recognition, but near enough, when we first tumbled, when I came here with Mender. And now we are lovemates with a growing cub." She sighed happily. "He's a fine male, but not a whisker of the wild in him. So he lets me run the night and help our boy learn the ways. Isn't that right, son?"Stonetalker grinned around a mouthful of boar meat, turning that smile on Trueshot for a bit before he remembered he was supposed to be feeling shy, and shrank back again. |
I Started A Joke (SevenxChantho) | Commissioner Jim Gordon sat with his head in his hands because sometimes things got so overwhelming that the only solution was to try and pretend just for a moment that the city wasn't there. After the Dent incident, Barbara had nearly begged him to leave Gotham, convinced that this would only be the first of many attempts on his life she had told him they could borrow some money from her parents, use it to get out, to move somewhere anywhere but Gotham.It was a conversation that been repeated many times since, the most recent of which had been that very evening.In retrospect, his response probably hadn't been the best one:"Where do you suggest we go? Metropolis?""This isn't funny, Jim!""You're damn right it isn't funny. If I leave now "" then they'll just find some other idealistic sap to take your place as Commissioner, someone else to to slip poison to!"It had ended with Barbara sobbing into the phone and Gordon feeling like an ass, just the way he did every other time but he couldn't help himself. He couldn't just leave like so many others had done. There was too much to be done, too few who could be relied on, and beyond that how many allies did Batman have left?Gordon wasn't even sure he counted anymore, not since he had been forced to destroy the light on the GPD rooftop one of the only moments in his career in which he had felt nothing but shame and had severed his public ties with the Batman.But god, he was still with him but the darkness was closing in more each day, seeping into the city more and more, driven by some horrifying, unstoppable force. Every time they made advances, they were pushed back again, there was no quantifying it.The phone rang and the sound of it caused Gordon to jerk violently, half lunging for the receiver. At first, he listened.Then he protested.Then he fell into silence, set the phone carefully onto his desk and stood from his chair he approached the enormous window that served as a background to his office and drew open the thick curtains. He stared out at Gotham and then picked up the phone again,"Yeah. Yeah, I see it." he said, and the distant flames reflected in the lenses of his glasses. Dr. Phillip Unger liked to think of himself as a philanthropist, an altruist who only wanted what was best for his patients that was why he gave them all that big, bleached white smile and talked to the inmates like they were three year olds who just needed a good nap and a big, shiny needle to calm them down.He had made the mistake, at first, of trying to analyze his newest patient one he had been particularly excited to meet after seeing his face across the news and witnessing the extent of the damage he had wrought on the city.A fascinating patient indeed.Inmate 3747 had been brought into Arkham Asylum with his hands cuffed behind his back and his make up badly smeared, but he had been bizarrely docile. Unger had moved around him, looked him up and down, asked him questions but all he had received was silence as the patient's dark eyes regarded him with something like very mild interest.Unger didn't like to classify his studies in terms of success rates every patient varied, after all but when it came to the Joker, the interviews all of which were carefully taped were consistently failures.The first interview occurred on the same week the Joker arrived at Arkham, and it began with a calm, professional Dr. Unger asking 3747 for his name, a question he never received a direct answer to.The fourth interview had the doctor reviewing the crimes that 3747 had committed the man had alternated between peering around the completely white room, staring at Unger, and drumming out a rhythm on the table in front of him, very occasionally raising his eyebrows in mock surprise or acknowledgement.The seventh interview had 3747 looking utterly bored while Unger uneasily asked why his cellmate had committed suicide. The response was a shrug.Interview eleven had a tense Unger bringing up the subject of the Batman. For the first time, the inmate spoke on camera to point out that the doctor's tie was tacky and he should really stop smoking because it couldn't be good for his health or his little three year old son's health, for that matter. Or his pregnant wife. Lydia. The interview ended suddenly when Unger walked out of the room while 3747 looked at the camera and rolled his eyes.Interview twelve came months later and the first several minutes were filled with silence 3747 shifted in his seat boredly before finally asking Unger how his wife was. The camera continued rolling as Unger leapt over the table and began to brutally beat the cuffed inmate, the sound of strikes punctuated by hysterical laughter.Interview thirteen could hardly be called such it consisted of Dr. Unger entering the room, sitting in the spot where the inmate would normally sit, dousing himself in lighter fluid, looking at the camera, and setting himself on fire.That night, the east side of Arkham Asylum went up in flames and when the smoke cleared, the Joker was gone. |
I Started A Joke (SevenxChantho) | Another hour went by without interruption and Batman was beginning to think it was time to give up for the night. It was four A.M. and his search hadn t yielded so much as a hint of foul play. By now, the vigilante was halfway across the city, only about five miles from the Narrows. He calculated it would take perhaps fifteen minutes to get back to the manor.As he rose to his full height from where he d been crouched atop the Surh Complex he caught a flash of movement from the corner of his eye. Spinning round he saw a woman, middle aged and wearing a business suit step across the roof of the building opposite. Her eyes were shadowed and she seemed completely unaware of where she was. Drawing ever closer to the edge Batman realized her intent and jumped into action. He had to be careful not to alarm her, which was easier said than done since he s specifically designed his image to be intimidating. Miss , he called carefully, not wanting to startle her. It was awkward, he was unused to addressing people in this manner. Normally interactions consisted of him sneaking up on a criminal and beating the ever loving shit out of them. The woman turned her head slowly to look at him and he was struck by how empty her face was, how completely void of any sort of emotion. She paused, and he took a few steps closer. Don t be frightened. I m just going to help you down. This statement resulted in the first semblance of expression from the female. Her brows knit together and she backed away from him. I can t take it anymore... Stay away from me. She was only a few stories above him. He could swing across and grab her before she got any further. Batman reached for his utility belt and his fingers closed around the grappling gun. Stay calm, I m coming down to get you. Blank eyes stared through him as he upholstered the gun and raised it towards the roof, taking aim. Don t move, just stay there. Don t move . She disappeared from his line of sight. Damn!He fired, the cord shot up and hooked over the edge of the roof, pulling him up with it. Come on, come on Batman hit the other side with a thump and hoisted himself the rest of the way up just in time to see the flash of skirt as the woman he d been trying to save vanished over the precipice. No! He raced after her and dropped to his knees to catch anything he could reach. But it was too late. He body hurtled down forty stories and crashed into the pavement below before he d even reached the ledge.The whole thing had barely enough time to register when a block down at almost the same time a man stepped out from the curb and right into the path of an oncoming bus. All the masked crusader could do was gaze, shocked at what he d failed to stop and wonder how in the hell two people had decided to commit suicide at the exact same time. |
I Started A Joke (SevenxChantho) | Gordon flipped up the collar of his suit jacket to protect the back his neck from the wind the Gotham night was hot as hell but the air was so sticky that it felt like the city was licking his skin every time a breeze brushed by it wasn't a pleasant feeling.With his hands tucked in his pockets he stood at ground zero and stared down at the charred, blackened, and vaguely human shaped remains in front of him he barely resisted the bizarre urge to prod them with his shoe. To his right stood the newly appointed Detective Heaney understandably, they'd had to let Ramirez go, there had been a sort of trust issue Heaney wasn't new to policework, but he still managed to look surprised."Guy didn't even get out of the chair." Heaney said, vaguely appalled, "It's bad enough that he killed himself but he sets himself on fire and he doesn't even get up? Christ, he should have been running around like a maniac, trying to put himself out."Gordon's moustache bristled he stared through the enormous hole that had been burnt through the side of Arkham a doctor had just killed himself in what had to have been the most agonizing way possible."That's concrete and reinforced steel." Gordon said plainly, and Heaney could only continue to look at the dead doctor with some effort, bits of Dr. Unger's face could still be made out, but mostly it was the stretched, gaping wide hole that indicated a mouth was present, rather than actual visual cues, "Fire ate it like it was cardboard smells like a tanker in here, too. Must have used an accelerant."His eyes continued to scan the room the walls were devoid of anything significant save for a steel table, which was now warped and twisted by the heat. Eventually, the Commissioner's eyes stopped on the corner of the room where, high up, something charred hung from the pathetic strands of wire."There was a camera in here." Gordon said, "I'm going to see if we can get lucky maybe some footage survived.""What would cause a doctor, of all people, to do this?" Heaney asked."In a place like this?" Gordon replied, knocking a bit of rubble away from himself as he headed out the door, "What wouldn't?" He'd say that things didn't work out quite the way he'd planned but the truth was that he never planned anything, not really the world just happened around him and he went with it because because well, because people were soeasyto predict. All it took was finding the right wound to open, everyone had them and some were deeper than others and he just liked to get one long, dirty finger in and pry a couple of them open to see what he could do to them. What he could do with them. See how far the hurt went.Even the Bat had them but he had been dissappointed by the wounds, he had been so dissappointed that it had been something so so standardfor the Batman.A girl. A woman.The lady of the Batman's dreams and the one who wouldn't have him he hadn't needed to hear any details to know the truth, he'd just had to watch the Batmanthrowhimself out a window to go after her, he'd just had to watch theheroleave a group of defenseless, innocent civilians standing around with nothing but shrimp cocktails to defend themselves against the guns that were still inside.Leave them alone withhim.And it would've been so easy right then to just just cut one of their throats. Make a real mess and leave it for the Bat to find but but, but there was nosportin that. There was no, uh, enjoyment in that. The moment was over once what's her name was saved, but the fun had just begun becauseDentwanted her too the girl was a hot commodity.They they had been like a chess game. Opposite sides of the board. Black knight and white knight. Except they both wanted to save the save the queen.Joker chortled to himself his skull ached, ribs were cracked, fingers were broken, bits of him were bruised and bleeding and his nostrils were filled with the smell of burnt rubble he could feel the ash coating his skin, coating his tongue and leaving his mouth filled with a thick, gritty paste from dehydration.Mm. Tastes like Gotham.He wasn't sure which way was up anymore, though, so it took several tries to get back on his feet and each fall caused a brief burst of laughter to escape the clown.Yes. Yes. He could feel it, just like the doctor had said he would, he could feel it in his veins, coursing through him, something dark and nasty and oh, what a wonderful thing the doctor had created. Imagine the chaos it would cause.Giggling uncontrollably, the Joker couldn't tell if he was having trouble walking because of the drugs or because of how funny it all was. How how funny it was.How funny it was that he could see the Batman right now. How funny it was that he seemed like a distant, dark dream that came on wings and fury and all dark eyes and anger and open wounds that had only taken a little C4 to turn them into scars.How funny it was thatheknew how the Bat had gothisscars.How funny it was that suddenly everything stopped working and he was collapsing, falling, tumbling down to the ground of the alleyway and collapsing amidst rubble and chortling even while a violent seizure took hold of him. How funny it all was. |
I Started A Joke (SevenxChantho) | Glowing red digits on the side of Gotham City Bank told Batman that it was now four AM exactly. An hour since he d planned to head back to the cave. During that time he found two more dead in addition to the original suicides he d witnessed. Both deaths were self inflicted. One, he didn t see personally, but heard about through the wire: a doctor at Arkham had sat down in front of a security camera and set himself on fire. Four deaths and no one was responsible. No one was saved. The improbability of it all had driven him to investigate much longer than intended, but with no leads and no way to contact Gordon, the trail dried up before he d even started.Four o three. That made it over thirty two hours since he d last slept. He couldn t push himself any farther tonight it was time to go. Batman ducked into the shadow and began his descent from the skyline of Gotham into its core. At last he dropped safely into the dark alleyway where his night had commenced. There was a soft splash when he landed in the middle of a dirty puddle on the pavement. I had rained a few days earlier so the streets were still wet. The water stilled around his boots, glistening faintly in some imperceptible source of light. God he was tired. Everything felt so incredibly heavy as he moved forward in the direction of his vehicle, hidden somewhere nearby. So very exhausted was the vigilante that he almost failed to notice the twitching body lying prone behind him. The sound of frantic, uneven breathing was what grabbed his attention and he spun around sharply.Someone, a man, was curled on the ground, almost hidden by an open dumpster. His legs jerked about, and drawing nearer Batman could see his entire body convulsing violently. Quickly he dropped down beside the man and turned him over, trying to steady the other as best he could. But when he saw the man s face he froze. Dirty blonde hair tainted with green and scars stretching from each corner of the mouth in a permanently garish smile. The Joker. Batman s blood ran cold with hatred as it always did when he encountered the criminal, but this time that knee jerk hostility was accompanied by something else. Alarm.He d never seen the Joker in this state before. Whenever they met the man was always confidant, and collected. Or as collected as it was possible for the Joker to be. Even when Batman was pounding the ever loving shit out of him he still maintained this air of control, continuing to laugh and mock the Dark Night as blood stained his teeth, This was different, wrong. The Joker was vulnerable. Batman stared down at his nemesis, for the first time unsure of what to do. His initial instinct every time was to inflict as much physical damage as he possibly could, in some subconscious and futile hope it would make up for the twisted scars the Joker left on his psyche. Right now was not one of those situations where he could do that. The easiest thing to do was take the convict straight back to Arkham and let them deal with it, but what good would that do? He d just escape again and they d be back where they started. Besides, it grew wearisome to find new ways to escape the police that turned on him the second the Joker was in custody.Still at a loss of what course of action to take, Batman lifted his enemy s upper half from the dirty blacktop and held him securely until the shaking stopped. One arm supported him while the other searched through his clothes for any concealed weapons. Experience had taught him never to underestimate the other. In the Joker s hands, anything was a weapon. After the last time the two of them had fought, Alfred had to give him a tetanus shot for the rusty screwdriver the criminal had driven into Batman s leg. |
I Started A Joke (SevenxChantho) | Gotham's black and grey palette had become a blur, a swirling mess in his vision that was dotted by the occasional strobing yellow of a passing car or an office window what felt like a lightning strike passed through his entire body from head to toe as the Joker lost all motor functions to the violent grasp of a clonic seizure. The sensation of lifting from his body followed suit as the Joker suddenly found himself watching his own fallen form spasming on the wet pavement, and as fascinating as it was, he was more interested in the dark figure looming near.Oh yes, he would recognize it anywhere, there was no mistaking that one, no, no.He wanted to greet the Batman, wanted to say hello like they were old friends reconnecting at a high school reunion, old buddies getting together for a drink, maybe give the hero a genial slap on the shoulder but, dissappointingly, he couldn't do anything except twitch.But he couldfeelthe Bat, looming so close, so near, so very within his reach that body heat was emanating, breezing over the skin of his face, seeping through the damp, filthy material of the suit he had taken back from Arkham Asylum. He could feel him.What would he do? How would the masked man react when his nemesis was laid out in front of him on a silver platter, spasming and even the Joker would admit to this utterly helpless. He couldn't do a thing.Anyone else might have panicked but the prospect only made the clown gleeful. Would the Bat give in to the temptation? Yes, he was looming over him, staring down at him, his cowled face registering a pensive expression, something conflicted and dark and oh, he knew the Batman was thinking about it. How could he not? It would be so easy, and no one would see, no one would see a thing and the clown would die oh so happy if the Batman would just do it.Do it. Come on, Batsy. Do it. Just break, no, just bend those rules a little, just an eensy weensy bit.He wanted to say it, he wanted to goad him, but he only managed to make a soft choking noise as his back arched up off the pavement, skinny frame jerking from rapid muscle contractions, sweat and filthy water running down his face and leaving streaks in the war paint he wore, mottling the side of his face.But no. The Bat didn't do it there wasn't a single strike, not an iron fist to the face or a steel toe boot to the ribs, nothing except except was that anarmaround him? Was the Batholdinghim, lifting him, picking him up? No. No that couldn't be right.He could feel the solid chest plate against his side as he was held up from the pavement, an effort that prevented his head from hitting the pavement any further during the spasms, and once they died away to stillness, the Joker was left feeling as though he was floating, dream like, through the alleyway and back to his own body. His voice and motor functions did not return at the same time.As Batman's hand's rummaged through various pockets and would locate a sharp shard of glass, a fountain pen, a packaged syringe, and several marbles the Joker felt himself fading away. As the masked man's hand dug into his pants pocket, the Joker wished he could get his voice back long enough to ask the Bat to buy him a drink first. |
I Started A Joke (SevenxChantho) | Even through the violent shaking, Batman could see the Joker's smile and had to fight the urge to knock the bastard unconscious. It wouldn't have made much of a difference. The escaped convict was well on his way there, the way this was going. Tossing the contents of the man's pockets aside, he shifted the body in his arms so that there was a little more support on the head. Holding the Joker like this felt wrong and it took all his self control not to just drop him there and go on home. No, he already knew where that would lead. Besides.... Something was definitely off. When the spasms began to die down he knew it was time to make a decision.He removed a pair of handcuffs from his belt and clicked them around the Joker's thin wrists. No need to take more unnecessary risks than he was already about to. God, this was the worst idea he'd ever had. Batman got to his feet, hauling the other man up with him. Anyone else would have though he was being rough, but the Joker would notice the restraint in effect. the vigilante was being considerably gentler than he would have under other circumstances.Batman returned to the pod, practically carrying his enemy along without a word of explanation. Sirens were wailing in the distance so there wasn't time for hesitation or questioning. At least not here. That would come later.The top to the vehicle slid back when they drew near, a new adjustment he was grateful for. Lucius had made several fine modifications to the pod a few weeks earlier. It was roomier, for one, without making the vehicle bigger and the overall look was sleeker. It stood out less, looking more like a car than an experimental military tank. Of course, that hardly meant the bat pod was inconspicuous, but then it would never really be that anyway.Once the Joker was secured in the passenger side of the pod, Batman slid in beside him and the roof closed again. For several seconds he sat there, hands resting on the control and know idea of what to do next. His eyes shot over to look at the soaked, filthy form of the man who made his life hell. Perhaps he should have invested in some way to shut him up before the Joker recovered the use of his voice. He really was not in the mood to listen to the cracked, gloating voice urge him towards something that wouldn't ever happen. |
I Started A Joke (SevenxChantho) | The peripherals of his vision were fading away, leaving the entire world soft around the edges light was becoming scarce and every part of the Joker's body was aching, muscles twitching and twinging from the after effects of a full body seizure it was urging him to let go, to fade into unconsciousness.But no.He wanted to stay awake just a little just alittlelonger because the Bat was there.Because, out of every creature and cretin and sad little citizen that lived in Gotham city, it was Batman who found him, Batman who was giving him that pensive look, Batman who was touching him and man handling him.It was a gleeful moment for the Joker, being so close to his nemesis, so close to the man he loathed and adored with everything he had. It was so nice, really it was, it was worth the agony, always worth the beatings and the falls and the broken bits of himself because those healed and went away, but the memories oh they stayed with him. He couldn't remember much about his past, and sometimes the days were confused for the Joker, but he always remembered those times with the dark knight. How could he ever forget them?And besides, for all he knew, he would wake up in a white room all over again. Or another jail cell. Or maybe the bottom of a well, if the Batman gave into his urges it would just be a shame to miss the moment that the caped crusader broke his rules. He wanted to see that, it was almost perverse how badly he wanted to watch the man break, crumble, crumple, fall and completely lose himself. He wanted to see what would be unleashed if the Batman was unrestrained, oh he could be so muchmore.Joker was aware enough that he could feel something cool and heavy click around his wrists yes, yes. Cuffs. Arms beneath him, the feeling of the ridged armour again, and then the strange sensation of being lifted carried. Unable to remember his childhood, the Joker had no memories of experiencing anything like this, but he rather wished he had the mental capacity to kick his legs a little and shout 'wee' just to make the hero uncomfortable. Shoulda, coulda, woulda.He blinked once, slowly, and realized he was sitting in a vehicle but not the seat of an armoured car or the rolling gurney of an Arkham ambulance, no, the LCD screens that flashed as a blur of blue in his vision told him he was sitting inside of the Tumbler, or what the Joker had mentally and lovingly labelled the 'batmobile'. Classy.There were so many things he wanted to say, so many pretty buttons he could have pushed. The Joker managed to turn his head to the left a little, catching a glimpse of the dark knight as he climbed into the passenger seat. There was a long moment where the clown juststaredat Batman, an unfocused look that was coupled with one of the clown's unnerving smiles, something giddy and almost child like, before his eyes rolled back and he slumped in the seat.He would have to push buttons later, then. |
I Started A Joke (SevenxChantho) | For several seconds after settling into the driver's side, Batman just sat there, debating what to do next. There were two options he could choose, the first was obvious. Take the Joker back to Arkham where he'd be treated and escape within the next few days. Or.... What? He'd already taken a step in that unfocused direction, but where did it lead?Dark eyes flicked over to the man slumped in the seat beside him. Oh he could see the gears turning. Even in this state he could tell that the other was thinking of all the things he'd be doing if his body wasn't in such a sorry state. The words he'd spew had he been able to speak were practically audible. Batman hated the way those eyes never seemed to blink or change focus, always watching him.He grunted and looked away again. Too much more of this and the Joker would begin to suspect that he didn't actually have a plan and that all this was just him floundering for a course of action. The illusion of control needed to be maintained. Panels lit up as gloved fingers flashed over the buttons that brought the vehicle to life. The engine thrummed and a pale, electronic glow was cast over the cab.Okay...Time to make a decision. Batman threw the car into gear and tore off with the kind of fervor he normally observed when leaving the cave, not returning to it. He wasn't going to give himself the chance to change his mind. The Joker had been allowed to get away with too much. Every time they met nothing ever veered from the set expectations, it was the same cycle over and over again and nothing was ever accomplished. Well not this time. This time he was going to make sure the Joker stayed someplace where he wouldn't have a chance to hurt anyone else. And he could only think of one place where the man would be under his almost constant watch. The bat cave.They were both going to get what they wanted in a way. Batman would have his nemesis safely away from the citizens of Gotham and the Joker would have... well, him. Jesus. The dark knight clenched his jaw as the tumbler swung around a corner and onto another street. Alfred was going to think he'd gone crazy, and right now, he wasn't entirely sure that wasn't true. Because a sane person wouldn't even consider bringing a known terrorist into their home. The cave couldn't really be considered his home, but it was the only place where he felt truly secure. He'd almost rather have the Joker tearing up Bruce Wayne's penthouse. Almost. |
I Started A Joke (SevenxChantho) | Floral patterned fine boned china teacups rattled on their saucers and shook the glass doors of the cabinets they had been lovingly laid out in Alfred put a hand out to stop the violent shaking, glancing down at the floor and frowning disapprovingly it had been a mistake to put anything delicate near the South East wing, but leaving the area completely bare was more suspicious.That, and he rather liked the look of malcontent on the young Master's face every time he saw the flowery things after just stepping in from a long night of crime fighting it tickled some distant funny bone of his.But Alfred was quite sure there would be nothing to laugh at that evening not if the sound of the tumbler roaring home was any indication it was relatively common for Bruce to leave the household in a hurry, tearing out of the cave so quickly that it would leave plumes of dust and smoke, but by the end of the night, he was normally too worn out, too exhausted to have the energy or enthusiasm for that sort of thing.So the sound of the engine blasting back in was enough to set off alarm bells in the caretaker's head he immediately went for a first aid kit before making the rattling trek down to the cave, expecting the worse. The last time this had happened, Master Wayne had brought Ms. Dawes back with him, scarcely alive.Now, of course, he knew it wouldn't be her he couldn't imagine who else the Master would ever bring into the dark little world he had built in the Wayne Manor foundations.The elevator opened and Alfred stepped out onto the sleek rocks, immediately hit by the familiar, organic smell of the cave he wasn't as fond of it as Bruce was, however, everyone had their eccentricities. For some it was collecting porcelain dolls, or having too many cats for others, it was donning armour and flying out in the night.For good cause, of course. Always. But from time to time the painfully paternal part of him wanted to always make sure Bruce was safe and out of danger he had seen the scars that the Master had received during his self appointed duties and he knew there would be many more of them. He just hoped none of them would leave anything more than a surface wound Bruce had enough deep ones already.Alfred picked his way across the rocks and towards the tumbler, first aid kit slung over his shoulder, calling out:"Perhaps Lucius should have a look at that machine," he said, "Or maybe give it a bloody muffler." |
I Started A Joke (SevenxChantho) | "I'll remember to to mention that my armored car needs to be a little quieter next time I see him."The door was already opened and closed before Alfred had posed the suggestion. At the end of a long night it was always a comfort to hear the older man's voice greeting him. The butler was the one constant in his hectic life, the person he trusted more than anyone else. When everyone else had come and gone Alfred was still there, and some part of Bruce expected he always would be.Right now, he was relying on his oldest friend not to throw in the towel when he revealed what was waiting in the tumbler."Listen Alfred...." He dropped his voice an octave, glancing back at the tinted windows as he spoke. It was the first time in while that he hadn't removed his cowl upon returning home. "Remember what you always say about bringing my work home with me? Well I might have pushed that a bit farther than you're used to."Without trying to explain any further, he went around to the passenger's side and opened the door. In a few seconds he was carefully hauling the unconscious Joker out of the seat, his hands still cuffed, and slamming the door shut again.There wasn't much he could say. The presence of the criminal did all the talking for him. |
I Started A Joke (SevenxChantho) | Having raised Bruce from a baby and taking on the parental role following the passing of his mother and father, Alfred had become accustomed to being able to read Bruce like an open book, despite his closed off personality.However, the cowl made things more difficult, so Alfred found himself watching Master Wayne very carefully the very presence of the mask was foreboding considering that he normally would have removed it by now, but it was the surreptitious glance towards the tumbler that made Alfred especially suspicious. There was something someone? in the vehicle.Alfred said nothing, he simply waited in silence as Bruce went to the tumbler and removed a rumpled mess.It took a moment of focusing to realize what was in his arms, partly because the sheer filthiness made it difficult to identify it as a human being, but the mess of make up he had seen it before, of course. Who in Gotham city hadn't? It was the face that had been broadcast on cameras, cackling gleefully and waving a knife.It was the face of the man who had invited himself to the Dent fundraiser the man who had taken hold of Rachel and dangled her out a window.The man responsible for her death, and for the death of Harvey Dent.Alfred remained admirably stoic, but a crease formed between his brows, eyes flicking from the Joker and back to Bruce the Joker twitched, once, in the Master's arms."Should I put out the fine linens, then, sir?" he asked drily. |
I Started A Joke (SevenxChantho) | Bruce smirked in response, mouth twisting in a semblance of good humor that didn't reach his eyes."No, I don't think that will be necessary. Thank you Alfred."There was a room in the back of the cave he sometimes used on nights when he was either too hurt or too exhausted to make to the manor without collapsing. It would serve a different purpose now. Luckily no changes needed to be made to suit its new occupant. The furnishings were simple a single twin bed in one corner and a sink with a cracked mirror in the other. An arch with a plastic curtain instead of a door led to a smaller room where there was an open sower and a toilet.Bruce didn't spend much time in it, so he'd never bothered to fix it up. He supposed, in retrospect, it did rather resemble a prison, but he wasn't about to add any homey touches to make it more comfortable for a man he hated. What would the Joker even consider 'homey touches'? H decided he'd rather not know.Carrying the unconscious clown to the room in question, Batman called back "I may need some medical supplies though. He's sick, maybe dehydrated. Oh, and some dry clothes." Without waiting for a response he ducked into the rest area and laid his enemy carefully on the bed. Now what? He had to be crazy as the Joker, bringing him back like his, and yet it still made some twisted kind of sense. |
I Started A Joke (SevenxChantho) | There had been times in the past where Alfred had questioned Bruce's mental state after all, who could blame him for occasionally being concerned but all of those instances had been terribly brief before he would convince himself that Bruce had managed to keep his sanity intact despite an arduous history in his relatively short life.However, at that particular moment, Alfred found himself miserably trying to fight off the thought that perhaps some fine wire inside of the young Master's brain had finally snapped under the weight of the city.And now he was bringing clowns home. And putting them to bed.Thankfully, Alfred had always been possessed of endless self restraint he followed Bruce into the stone walled room and set down the medical kit he had brought with him before exiting again, dissappearing to retrieve dry clothes which he dug up from the guest bedroom in the form of a pair of cotton pyjamas, the proper sort with buttons up the front, lapels, and a little breast pocket and as an afterthought, taking a stack of towels.He handed the clothes to Bruce,"I'm sure the colour will do wonders for him." Alfred said, eyeing the unconscious criminal though he wanted to deny it, he found he could follow Bruce's line of thinking. Chances were that Bruce had come across the Joker in his current state morals and self ordained rules had deemed that Bruce couldn't simply kill the Joker, but turning him in to Arkham asylum had proved a fruitless endeavor time and again.He understood why Bruce had chosen this he just wasn't sure it was the best option. Even though it was the most humane.Alfred eyed the sorry state of the criminal, then reconsidered that the Joker, as he understood, had referred to himself as a mad dog from time to time. It was a metaphor that had Alfred considering that Bruce Wayne was a much better man than he would ever be, because in the world that Alfred had come from, rabid animals got put down.Maybe it was the make up the ghastly red and white and black that had been smeared from the elements and were running in rivulets of colour from sweat, sticking in cuts and matting hair. He was filthy. He hardly looked human.Alfred reminded himself that the Joker was a human being it was difficult to do."You've got your work cut out for you, then." Alfred said, crossing over to the sink for a moment he approached the clown with the air of one approaching an atomic bomb that has only a few seconds left before detonation, armed with a damp cloth."If he bites, by the way,you'renot stitching me up." he added, "I'll be going to a bloody doctor, is what."He brushed the cloth against the Joker's temple, a single drag across skin that took a mess of grease make up with it, leaving a small, bare patch of pink. How human.He moved the cloth down again, and the Joker stirred, as though protesting to the removal of the make up even while unconscious. |
I Started A Joke (SevenxChantho) | Bruce only grunted in response, eyes fixed on the slowly emerging human face beneath the Joker s paint. It unnerved him somewhat to see his enemy like this, so vulnerable. Almost like he d walked in on him naked. For a few seconds he stood transfixed, but then shook himself out of it and placed the clothes on an old wooden chair by the door. I wouldn t worry about that too much right now. Doesn t look like he s going to wake up for a while. And when he does, I ll be the one dealing with him, not you. There was no way. For starters, there was a good chance that seeing Alfred would lead the Joker to piece together clues about Batman s identity, but more importantly, Bruce had lost enough friends to this man. The last thing he needed was for his oldest and closest confidant to get hurt trying to take care of him.The dark suited man stepped out of the room, returning moments later sans cape and padding. He was tired and hot and right now the only part of himself he was really worried about protecting was his face. With the Joker in this state he hardly thought weapons and heavy padding necessary. By this time, the sleeping madman s face was almost fully revealed and if it hadn t been for the scars and greasy green tint to his hair, Bruce might not have recognized him.There really was a person under all that after all. Not that it changed anything. But it did make him wonder what it was that caused to Joker to act out the way he did. Was it just insanity or had something provoked this, the same way the murder of Bruce s parents had spurred him to become a vigilante? Nothing about the Joker was simple. Asking him would likely only result in mocking laughter or another useless story about his scars. And he d heard so many. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | The fresh smell of clean air, the soft chirping of birds, a beautiful blue sky with scattered clouds. Everything seemed perfect, or at least Alvin thought so. Alvin was a young teen, at what he considered the peak of his life, sixteen. Today was his birthday, and he was finally able to leave into the world, and be a tamer if he wanted. Though many perused it, he didn't really want that, he just wanted to be with one girl. The one Pokegirl who had captivated his heart already, even so if people might shun that. He didn't care, the rush of wind past him returning him to the real world. The forest around him, this was no place for him to day dream. After all he didn't want to get lost, if so he would never find his way out. His hand rested against a limp tree, this was the third marker he had to remembering how to get to there secret place. It was as he was told in between His home town and her village. Even so it was deep into the forest, it would be at least a half a day or more to get from one place to the other, at least that's what Eva had told him. As he rested he began to day dream, for one reason or another his mind drifted to pokegirl match's. The sweat, the grind the moaning and groaning, before long he had a erection. Realizing it he shook it off, "N..No time for that! I gotta get moving or all be late!" Alvin muttered to himself running off before long, getting his mind off of other 'things'. It didn't take him long before he got to the entrance cave. Taking a short break he began in without much hesitation walking in the dark, he had memorized this entire path way, to each crease in the floor, to each rock, or at least the best he possibly could. "Eva!" Alven called out as he skid down a slope right into the light, shielding his eyes where they could have time to adjust. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | The girl he was looking for was right there with him already. She quickly walked up to him from behind, jumping on him and wrapping her arms tightly around him. "Ha! You're late Alvin! That's not like you at all!" She gave him a tight squeeze. "Ack! Eva! You're squeezing to hard!" "Huh?" Did his voice sound awfully feminine? "Wake up will you?"Eva's eyes slowly fluttered open, her eyes slowly adjusting to the sunlight. The young Eevee girl could see that she had her arms wrapped tightly around her older sister Luna, who was an Umbreon girl. "Ah! I'm so sorry! Are you okay Luna?" she asked, letting go of her. She sat up while her sister turned to face her. "Yeah...just caught me by surprise. Of course, I was in the middle of my own nap, only to get a rather rude awakening. doesn't matter though, I need to get up anyway instead of staying in bed all day." She patted Eva's head gently before heading out of the room. Eva hopped out of bed and decided to head out again. It was then that she remembered her friend Alvin was going to go visit her again. She felt much happier after that dream, and she couldn't wait to see him again. After telling Luna, she was off deep into the forest to look for him. She knew she'd have to find him fast since he didn't completely know his way around here.Eva could have passed as human if it weren't for her Pokemon like qualities. She had long brown hair that reached down to her waist, and she even had a pair of ears and bushy tail. As of now, she was wearing a brown button up shirt with a black skirt. Another one of her sisters had put a scarf around her neck since it was a little chilly. Of course, in this human form she could easily get sick. She came up to the cave where she had met Alvin before, almost heading inside until she heard his voice coming from inside. A sly little grin came onto her face as she decided to try and startle him somehow. She swiftly climb up onto the top of the opening, waiting until she saw him appear. She went to jump, except her foot slipped on the rock, causing her to tumble forward on top of him. At least he would break her fall. "Owie...ah! Alvin! Are you ok?" |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Alvin wasn't completely surprise that no one was there. Eva was usually late, even though she would leave earlier then him, but he usually ran most of the way. It did help him keep in shape though. His eyes had adjusted and all things seemed as usual. The orange tree setting next to the small pond, the water running off the rocks from above. He felt like lazing about, moving to the tree he sat down. Dozing he began to think of his day prier to coming. The school bell rang as Alvin leaned back against the back of his chair looking at the roof. He didn't have to go home right away, or rather at all. His parents were both off out of the country playing around as they usually were most of the year. "Alvin hey man! Congrats on getting to the BIG ONE SIX! Now you can actually quit school and go travel the world! Man your so lucky." On of his friends, by the name of Mitch spoke shaking him. The only thing that interrupted him was a sharp pain on the back of his head. "Who the hell!" Mitch cried out turning, almost turning pale, when he saw who it was."Please don't make fun of Alvin you know full well he has no interest in the pokegirl games. Every time anyone has offered to bring him along he rather study or something like that." This time it was the school rep, Trever. He was a more tolerant person and watched out for the others, but like all the boys he was into the games. He was older then Alvin and Mitch, he had only remained here because he rather become a scientist then travel. "Come on both of you I got to get going im meeting a friend somewhere special, to the both of us." Alvin stated as he snatched his things heading out of the room, before everything went fuzzy. Alvins eyes fluttered open before he realized he had fallen asleep. Did Eva come already and get mad that he was asleep? Alvin began to walk back to the slope to see if there were signs of anyone else had come. As soon as he got close enough he saw Eva come tombing down, right on top of him. Alvin was alright, he didn't get hurt but he was a bit confused with her onto of him. It wasn't till after she spoke did he realize what had happened. "Im fine Eva, late as usual I see?" Alvin spoke leaning his face to hers kissing her nose. He expected this to fluster or surprise her more then anything she could do to him. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Eva let out a little groan as she felt a little dizzy from the fall, even if she did fall on top of Alvin. It took her a few minutes to get her head together, and she noticed how strange the situation was. "Ah...that's good to know." That was quite a fall she had from the top of the cave, but maybe even if he wasn't there she would be fine. Being half pokemon had it's benefits. "What? Am I really that late? Well, I did fall asleep earlier at home, so I guess I lost track of time." she said, giving him an innocent little smile. Her eyes widened a bit in surprise when he planted the kiss on her nose. It was such a little thing, but she was not expecting it. "Wh...what?!" She fell back off of him in surprise, clearly flustered. It wasn't anything new though. He always did things like that to her. She didn't mind most of the time, and he knew not to go too far. "Geez...there you go again." she said, pouting a bit at him, but it quickly changed to a little smile. "Oh yeah! Today's your birthday! Good for you!" she said, moving back to him and wrapping her arms around him in an embrace. "Well then, I have just the thing for you then. I was thinking of bringing you over to my house for a little while today. My sisters are all home, but I don't think they'd mind. We're going to have so much fun! Don't you think?" she asked. Her tail began to sway a bit behind her as she started to get a little excited. She had always liked being around him since they first met. Her sisters however were a little protective of her though, especially when it came to humans. She was hoping they wouldn't think badly of him though. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Eva looked so cute as dazed and clueless as she was. it wasn't as far of a fall as she thought, after all he slid down, it wasn't even a straight fall, it was slanted, just a rather steep slant. He was glad she had fallen on him though, she was safe, and her being pressed this close was just great. "Yeah your late I fell asleep waiting for you too though..." Alvin spoke after she fell back off of him, sitting up. He couldn't help but chuckle at her, she always had great reactions like that. "Well stop leaving yourself open, and I wouldn't have to do that to you." Alvin joked, he knew she didn't mind it, and he greatly enjoyed it. He showed a slight surprise that she embraced him but it quickly turned to a smile. Closing his eyes, embracing her in his arms, all he could think was 'So warm....' But he returned to reality releasing her as she moved back, he blinked at her with a faceless expression. "Go to, your house... Meet your Sisters?" Alvin spoke blinking, he remembered that many pokegirl villages existed but they were extremely secret. After all there were people who would raid and kidnap the girls to put them into the games or force bond them though sales. despite how illegal it was to do that to free Pokegirls, there wasn't much that could be done. Yet even so she was offering to take him to her village? wouldn't she get in trouble or something or perhaps this was a ritual for people to accept them if they were really not like the capture freaks out there. "Sure, lets do this, all try my best to impress them!" Alvin spoke loud and clear standing up. He was determined to win there acceptance no matter what, so he could be with Eva. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Eva also enjoyed their little moment in the embrace, taking a good whiff of his scent while she could. "Aha, well I fell asleep before I came. I thought I'd just rest my eyes for a little but I ended up falling asleep." she said with a little chuckle. He seemed to be a little hesitant about coming over to her village, especially when she mentioned her sisters. She didn't think they were scary. Then again, they may have had a history of scaring off some of her friends. She was hoping that wouldn't be the case here, because Alvin was different. The little Eevee girl was hoping they would see just how much she wanted to be with him. "You don't have to worry at all about my sisters. They might be a little protective of me, but I'm sure they'll see what a nice person you are. You should have no trouble being accepted by them!" She held herself in the hug for a little while longer before getting up and stretching her arms over her head. Of course, she did know about tamers and how some would sometimes come to villages to kidnap them, but she knew Alvin wouldn't do anything like that. "I'm sure they won't give you too much trouble...maybe except for Amber. She might be the most difficult." she gave a little sigh as she said that. It was clear her sister had a long history of being like this. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Alvin had no real clue of her sisters, she had only said so much. He wasn't entirely sure what to expect, he did know each one was a evolutionary stage of her, or at least that's how he had been taught. Each girl could change depending on what element they were born with. Though not much about them changed, just there hair, ears, tail, or what ever poke' quality's they had. Alvin personally hoped Eva would never change, she was perfect how she was. He rested his hand on her head and smiled gently at her. "Even if they don't all make them, one way or another. I don't want to lose a important friend like you." Alvin spoke in a gentle tone, scratching her ears slightly. How he treated her seemed more like she was his little sister rather then friend. Yet that might be one of the reasons they got along so well. Poke'girls like her had no male, all the men were of humans. Though there was human women, many entered the 'Fall' as it was call descending into poke'girl. Those few who didn't were saw as special and normally married into the elite. Those who fell either escaped or were sent to the games. It was a depressing thought, yet never the less life went on. "Shall we go, if we don't it will be dark before I can get back here. I won't be able to make it back to the city from your village so all just camp out here. I don't think many in your village would look favorably on me. No matter what you, think of me, or I think of them." Alvin spoke the sad truth, many who fell would have grudges against him, and all the others wouldn't trust him. A human in the world of poke'girls was something out of place, despite the fact they were a major part of a humans world. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Eva herself took a little time to think about how her sisters might react. They never really went far from the village when they left, so it was likely they didn't run into any humans. She was still a little curious if they'd ever had any run ins with them. They had not been bonded yet, so there was a possibility they didn't. She snapped back to reality as she felt him patting her head, to which she gave him a cute little smile. Since they had met, he had certainly been like a big brother figure for her. It was probably a good thing since she was a bit clumsy, which Alvin knew all to well already. "Oh yeah! I wouldn't want to make it too hard for you. It's a little depressing to hear you'd be camping out here in the forest. I mean, it sometimes gets dangerous. I'd let you stay over, but I don't think my sisters would approve." Of course, it would be the same for any human relationship. When it came to a pokegirl and a human though, it was more serious. She lifted a finger to poke his cheek gently. "Hey, don't worry about it okay? I have a good feeling about you, and I'm sure my sisters will think so also." The smile on her face could probably brighten up the worse of days. "So let's go!" She tugged gently at his sleeve as she started to lead him back to her village. The walk was only a couple minutes or so, so they'd be there in no time. Her ears perked up a bit as she picked something up ahead. They were still a couple minutes or so from her village, but she thought she heard what sounded like her sisters arguing about something. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | "It's not entirely your sisters im worried about, it's the rest of the village." Alvin muttered to himself as he felt her poke his cheek. He really didn't want to put them in any real trouble. He had all intention to sneak off during the night and return to the cave. He knew Eva would be angry with him, but it was for the best. He didn't want there family to become outcasts, for letting a human stay in there village. Yet he wouldn't say much to her about that, she didn't need to worry herself. As she was, she most likely wouldn't be able to understand it at all. She always took things too light, before it was true that he couldn't bond her no matter what they did. But now he could and that changed everything. He didn't want to bond her if she wasn't willing, he wanted to be bonded with her the right way, the way his parents were. Ah yes, Alvin's mother was indeed a poke'girl, like most people now days he was born between a man and poke'girl. His mother was a Arcanine variant, and one of the most beautiful poke'girl adult types, or at least that's what he had heard. He doubted it though, he thought Eva was, then again Eevee variant types were rare. Being a multiple evolution type they normally evolved young, no doubt that was how her sisters were. It wasn't long before he had realized that they were already getting close to her village. By this point he was walking side by side of her without her having to tug on his sleeve. He did realized he would have to return to the secret spot anyways he left his stuff there. He could hear arguing but the distance of the sounds made it so he could barely hear it. Though he knew that Eva could with out much problems. This did not seem like a good thing, already in a bad mood, and here he comes, most likely going to make it worse. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | "The rest of the village huh? Our village is really small, and we live at the edge of it right at the entrance of the forest. I don't think it would be too bad. Plus, I've heard some of them having run ins with humans, most of them good. I'm sure at least they'll think good about you. Some of my sisters might be a little stubborn though." As they got closer she could hear that the arguing had ceased, and she stopped Alvin near a large tree. she could turn and see that her sister Jenna was talking with her other sister Vanessa. Jenna was a very energetic and playful Jolteon girl, while Vanessa was a calm Vaporeon. She was very much the mother figure of the sisters. She didn't think it was them arguing, and she turned back to Alvin. "Wait here for now. I'll tell you when to come out." Vanessa had started to head back to the home, and Eva figured it'd be best to start one at a time. She ran over to Jenna, giving her a big hug. "Hey Jenna! I'm back!" The Jolteon girl let out a little sound of surprise, almost falling over. "Ah! Eva! Geez, you seem to be in a good mood!" she said, gently ruffling her hair a bit. "Yup! Hey, I need to tell you something. I brought someone over, so please be nice alright?" Jenna gave her a weird look. "What? You think I'll just scare them away don't you?" "N no! Not at all! Alvin! Come on over here. Meet my sister." |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Alvin was a little relieved that it was a smaller village, but then again that might be why they went unnoticed by the city near by. Then again what really helped was what she said about them mostly having good meetings with humans. That means they either kept the village secret or never made it to the city. Once they were there, Eva had him hide, which he could understand why. He poked his head out from his hiding spot just enough to watch Evan run to her sisters, one seemed to of left. A Vaporion from what he could make out, he wondered what she was like. Yet his attention was more on the Joltion. He felt like he had seen her before, and not once before, but multiple times. But how could that be? She was a poke'girl and the only non bonded poke'girl he met was Eva, or so he thought. Thinking back to try and figure out, where he knew her from. That day at the collosem, a few days ago running to meet eva, or just people around town. It was when Eva called him out that it hit him! He figured it out, add a hat, tuck her tail under a baggy shirt, or into baggy pants, add a pair of sunglasses and you had her! That girl he kept running into all over, and he really ran into her. The pair normally knocked one another over, by running smack into each other. He never really talked to her, a whole lot except for once. When he escaped from his friends dragging him to the Pokegirl game. Alvin eyes seemed to grow, he had talked about Eva! He had told her he was friends with a unbounded pokegirl, that he had no intentions of bonding with like the people inside. This made him extremely nervous, then again, maybe that would help him get along with her. Stepping out of hiding he rubbed the back of his head giving a nervous laugh. "Fancy meeting you here... Jenna..." Alvin said, anyone could plainly see he was trying to be as polite as he could when he was this nervous, that she would tell Eva what he had said that day. In truth he had hoped she had forgotten all about it. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Alvin's depiction of her could not be more spot on. The only thing was that she would use that attire for blending in with the humans to watch the Pokegirl games. Of course she knew the dangers of a pokegirl walking out alone, but her own curiosity tended to get the best of her. However, she was ace was it came to blending in with the humans. She was still wearing a baggy white shirt with baggy blue jeans. The hat had been tossed for now, and er ears stood up nice and proud. Her tail swayed gently back and forth as she waited for Eva's friend to come out. Wait a second...Alvin? That name had a ton of nostalgia around it. She stopped to ponder anyone she knew with that name. Well, there was that one guy she ran into at the Colosseum, and she ran into the same guy on her usual walk. And that same jerk ran into heron so many occasions. At least he didn't figure out she was a pokegirl, and her hat managed to stay on. Of course, that would all change right now. Her eyes focused on the person who came out, and her eyes widened with surprise. Despite the calm polite greeting she received, she was in far too much shock to see him. "Ah! It's you! Gah! You never apologize for knocking me down jerk!" she said, rather loudly.Eva blinked a few times. Alvin and Jenna knew each other? Alvin had never told her anything about that, but she figured it was obvious since Jenna went out in disguise. Her sister was a little too curious and would wander around with humans often, so she assumed she must have run into Alvin a few times then. "Ah? You know Jenna? That's so strange." "Eh? Well, this guy didn't see me like this. I looked completely human to you when you first saw me." she said with a hearty chuckle. She grinned as she playfully moved up in front of him, staring intently at him. "So, what's a suspicious guy like you doing with my little sister huh? Eva, you know Amber's gonna have a fit about this." |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | "Hey don't blame me for usually not apologizing to you, I at least helped you up though! I was usually in a hurry, running away or... going to..." Alvin spoke in reply to her comment about him apologizing. By the end of it he looked to Eva and chuckled a bit, after all he couldn't be late. He did find it interesting that she a pokegirl herself would go watch the games. Then again she most likely wouldn't want him to bring that up. "Well Eva, I didn't know you two were related and, well I normally ran into her while coming to meet you or running away from my friends trying to drag me to the Colosseum." Alvin looked away for Evan abit, he made it clear that he really didn't want to tell her that, though he felt he should. Him going there always made him think of the danger Eva always was in that she... she would end up there. when she moved up close to him, he nearly took a step back, leaning away from her. Her question did annoy him a great deal, 'suspicious' his ass. "That's a crock coming from you, and how you acted every time we ran into one another." Alvin replied leaning in at her with a grin at her. Though he did get a tad bit worry about, 'Amber' having a fit. Pulling back he stepped around Jeena so he was closer to Eva again. "I met Eva about a year ago, and have been hanging around her since then. I have made sure that nobody has found her when she came closer to the city, and I also helped her with things. I was the one who tended to her wounds when she was out and about." Alvin spoke with proud tone placing his hand on Eva's head once again ruffling her hair. He knew full well Jeena and himself knew how much a cluts she was. She would usually come back with a few scrapes, or all dirtied. With his comment he remembered how flustered she was when they had to wait out a storm in the secret place. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | "Tch, it's common courtesy is it not?" She crossed her arms and pouted a bit at him. She was a little confused when he paused mid sentence, but she caught his glance over at Eva. She raised an eyebrow slightly but didn't say anything about it yet. "And you wouldn't know we were related, but you'd at least see some resemblance." She grinned as she wrapped and arm around Eva's waist, pulling her in closer. "You can clearly see how cute she is because of me." Eva let out a nervous chuckle as she was hugged like that, and she remembered the arguing she heard earlier. "Oh, Jenna. Was there a fight or something just now?" Jenna paused and let her sister go. "Ah! Now that you mention it, Amber was having one of her bitch moments again. She kept talking about how she keeps beating me, so I mentioned that one time that Houndoom found her sleeping and " Eva put her hand over Jenna's mouth to stop her from speaking any more. She knew full well what the story was about, and Amber would certainly be ticked off to know this human knew the story. "Well, that's good to hear. My little sister is obviously not the best on her feet. Vanessa's always all over you when you come home all bruised up. She's so serious about those treatments. She always has you in solitary confinement while you rest." "That's a little much." Eva said, turning back to Alvin. "I think you'd like Vanessa. She's so nice. She definitely won't mind having you around." |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | "Maybe from around here, but your lucky if anyone will really help you in the city...." He spoke as she made her comment. He blinked at her as she wrapped around her waist, for some reason he felt annoyed. Her comments were much to his annoyance as well. "Really, I wouldn't of guessed, but cuteness? I hold judgment till I see the other sisters. I do have a question do you often get asked why you lack sex appeal?" Alvin had always posed these fucked up questions. She had already started by annoying him, so she was lining em up and he was knocking them down. He did listen to there conversations and was quite interested in the houndoom story but left it be. He didn't want to be the cause of the fight so soon. He did enjoy the fact he was being praised by one of her sisters at least. "Heh, I can't let my friend go around hurt without at least trying to help her out." Alvin spoke as he continued to listen, Solitary confinement? That was a little overboard wasn't it? Then again this was Eva who could hurt herself sitting down. He was glad she thought he would get along with at least one of them easier. She might like him more since he would treat her before she went home. Alvin did chuckle, a bit, now that he knew who Jenna was he could watch out for her when he found her in town. So even if she was found he could act as if he was her tamer, they could paint a little bonded mark on her later. He figured Jenna would love that, it would make it so she could get around easier. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | "What do you mean? I figure everyone does things like that. On most of my observations of humans, it is common to apologize or help someone." She crossed her arms over her chest, rather annoyed with his response to her comments. "Hmph. You should be able to just look at both of us and see the comparisons. And when it comes down to that, you know I can have sex appeal. Of course, you're not going to be seeing that with these clothes." she said, referring to the baggy attire she had. She did have other things to wear, but this was just for her disguise. "So no, you're the first to ask." she said with a playful grin. The subject of the conversation changed then as he mentioned Eva. She held her tightly from behind, resting her head on Eva's. "Well, that's good to hear. We're always worried when we let her go out alone." Eva turned to him to explain the whole 'solitary confinement' issue. "Well, she just has me staying in my room all day. I'm just the one who has it the most. Luna and Jenna don't seem to mind too much." Jenna grinned as she walked over in front of Alvin again. "And Amber obviously doesn't want any of that. She's a real punk. I'm sure the second she sees you, she'll want to beat the lights out of you.""Eva? Is that you there?"They all turned to see the Vaporeon girl from earlier walking back. She looked very mature and stunning, not to mention she was pretty well endowed. She wore only a long flowy white dress and a large hat. She seemed very surprised by Alvin's presence, but gave a little smile to him. "Ah, Vanessa. I know I didn't mention it before, but I wanted to bring my friend Alvin over for a little bit. Is that okay?" Vanessa, looked back over to Alvin, never dropping the gorgeous smile. "Well, of course it's fine. Just don't do anything too outrageous. I'm Vanessa by the way." she said with a little bow to him. "Have you been taking care of Eva?" |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | "That's because you seem like a little kid...." Alvin countered her first comment. The two of them seemed to be getting along just fine. Even though they were going back and forth with one another they weren't actually being mean. It was more of a playful banter, and most could see that. "That's most likely because you come from a village made up entirely of girls, and when you go into town, you don't even seem your own gender." Alvin commented as he sighed, he really had thought, she was a he all the time they ran into each other. He stood taller then her, and Eva so it wasn't a surprise. He did stop when it came to Eva though, he was enjoying being praised. "That's a good thing, it means your good sisters for worrying." Alvin spoke in a kind tone smiling at the two, he could only really see the resemblance in the face they were of the same type. Alvin listened attentively when Eva spoke again, he understood it, but found it a little extreme to make her stay in solitary confinement. It did explain why some times she was extremely late for there meeting. He did chuckle at the thought of her other sister being a punk he could picture it. But it was then he heard another new voice. Looking to where it came from he spotted the newest sister, Vanessa. He remained silent as they spoke, not wanting to seem rude. He was a bit nervous with her slight smile. So many things it could mean, it could be a uneasy smile, and that wasn't good. "O..of course I won't! The pleasure is all mine, Ms. Vanessa. I am Alvin D. Harrow" Alvin spoke as he returned the bow taking Vanessa's hand kissing it slightly. He tried to be as gentleman as he could. "Ah, yes, I have been the one who did the patch jobs for Eva before she returned, im sorry they weren't entirely well done, a while ago, I started bringing a medical kit when ever we met." Alvin spoke as he stood up rubbing the back of his head he leaned near Janna. "Yeah, I think she inherits it from Vanessa." Alvin teased her even more, it was fun to do after all. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Jenna pouted a bit at his words. Their conversation when she was 'human' were much lighter than this. Of course, she didn't mind it all too much. "A little kid huh? I'm sure you'll change your mind about that idea soon enough." she said, tugging a bit at her baggy shirt. "In fact, I feel like changing anyway. I'll be right back." Before she ran off though, she gave him a rough punch to his shoulder hearing his last comment. It wasn't meant to hurt him, but being a pokegirl might have added a little sting. She disappeared into the house, leaving Alvin with Eva and Vanessa. Vanessa seemed a little confused about why she had done that, but that would be kept secret between them for now. She didn't flinch even as he took her hand to kiss it. she let out a little chuckle to him. "Oh my. You're being far too kind. You wouldn't want to give me the wrong idea now would you?" Eva could see that he was acting a lot more polite around Vanessa then Jenna, but that was always the case. There was just something about her that made people act differently. "Ah...Vanessa, were you talking with Jenna earlier?" "Ah, so you saw. I was just trying to get her to calm down about Amber. She ran off somewhere, I'm not sure where.""Haha! And I return!" The door flung open and Jenna came out towards them again. She stopped right in front of Alvin with a little grin on her face. She had changed from the baggy clothing into more feminine apparel. She was wearing a tight black tanktop with a pair of blue shorts now. It could been seen that she had a very impressive figure as well, but now as 'gifted' as Vanessa was. "How's that hmm? Still think I'm just a little kid now?" Eva and Vanessa were clearly unsure of what to think. They simply waited for Alvin's response. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Alvin blankly stared at Janna when she talked. He really didn't think it would bother her all too much, but it did seem make her want to prove it. This only made her seem more childish then she did before. He sighed as she ran off shaking his head, this wasn't going to change it. At least that was how he thought of it. Alvin turned his attention to Vanessa rather then worrying about Janna anymore. "How could I ever give you the wrong idea? It is quite a pleasure to meet you and I meant that entirely. We are both the ones who make sure our little accident prone, girl stays healthy." Alvin chuckled grinning at Eva. He didn't interrupt the two when they spoke, it wasn't hard to not. He listened intensively trying to gather any information about the rest of the family as he could. "Well if shes anything like Eva, I assume she got lost." Alvin spoke as they ended there conversation. It was then the door flung open. Alvin looked in her direction listening to her brag. He watched her try the best she could or so he though. Alvin reached into his pocket and pulled out a sucker, removing the wrapper her pushed it into Jenna's mouth. "You still got a lot to learn about what sex appeal really is Kiddo." Alvin spoke in a taunting tone, yes she had the body. But her attitude and actions lacked any appeal what so ever. Body of a teen with the mind of a child. It was rather clear that Alvin intended to treat her like she was a child, yet it did bring about quite a bit of playful banter. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Jenna's attempts at sexiness had gone sour with Alvin. No sooner had she appeared in front of him, he was reaching into his pocket, pulling out a lollipop. That only ticked her off some more, and she was about to toss it, if only it hadn't tasted so good. she sucked gently on it before pulling it out for a little bit. "Hmph. It looks like my charm is wasted on dense men like you." She popped the lollipop in her mouth again before walking off for now. She walked around to the back of the house, with nobody really knowing what she would do. Vanessa turned back to him. "Well, it looks like you two get along very well.""do they really?"Eva thought. "Anyway, why don't you at least come in for a little while? I can prepare you something if you'd like." Vanessa motioned for the two of them to follow her as she headed back into the house. Eva moved behind Alvin and started pushing him gently to the house. As they walked in, Eva had him sit at a table in the living room. "I'll get you some tea." Vanessa said, disappearing to the kitchen. Eva plopped down in the seat next to him. "Well, so far so good." she said with a little smile. If Alvin looked to the other room, there was another girl sleeping on the couch. She had short black hair with a cap over her face. It was black as well with a golden ring on the front. He could only really see her head and upper torso, so he could see that she had a pair of D cup breasts, much like Vanessa. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | "Dense man?" Alvin blinked as she went back in shaking his head a bit. He wasn't dense a bit, it was more because the girl he liked was right next to him. He immediately turned his attention to Vanessa when she spoke. "Hehehe, I suppose so, but whos to really say Vanessa." Alvin laugh at bit uneasily he supposed they did, but he didn't really want it to bother her. He was about to object to her making anything, he didn't want to bother them. But he really couldn't do anything with Eva pushing him from behind. He wasn't going to run, or anything, but then again this most likely felt Eva feel a bit better so he allowed it. He sat down easy, and was about to thank Vanessa before she disappeared. It was then he smiled at Eva who sat next to him. "Well I suppose so, but so far I haven't met the 'worst' of your sisters." Alvin joked with her, he no longer thought any of them could be as bad as they made them out to be. He began to look around, it was as clean as he expected it to be, he did take notice to the girl on the couch. He did have the feeling she was going to wake up with him being there and freak. He just hoped they could explain before anything went wrong. "Hmmm, I never asked this but Eva I know your father most likely isn't around but what about your mother?" Alvin asked knowing it might be a touchy subject. But he felt he should ask anyways, if she didn't want to answer he wouldn't push it though. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Eva chuckled a bit at him. "Well, that's true. But Amber's really not as bad as people make her out to be. Of course, she tends to get in a lot of fights with the other villagers, despite Vanessa telling her not to. On occasion she gets into fights with Luna and Jenna, mainly Jenna. She is the strongest one in the village, but we've managed to keep her from going out the the Pokegirl fights. Vanessa told me there are plenty of things that can happen. Amber gets a little caught up in her victories, which was what Jenna was talking about earlier." Speaking of Jenna, she appeared outside the window walking around rather bored. She then started acting like something. Who knows what or who it was. She would jump back and forth as she seemed to change character. In the end, she just stood there laughing wildly. Eva didn't think much about it and turned back to face Alvin. Despite it being a touchy subject, she didn't look like it bothered her much. "Well, my mom is a Pokegirl also, and she was bonded with a human quite a while back. Because of that, she had to travel with him wherever he went. I was at least able to see her one more time before she went off. I kind of envy her too. She's able to go out and travel and see all these awesome things. I've been in this forest all my life, so I know it like the back of my hand. Still, it would be nice to go out all over the place. Wouldn't you think?" The figure on the couch started to stir a little bit as they spoke. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | A little annoyed mark appeared on Alvins head. He had a thought, he knew how Poke'girls fought, wild or not, there world was a very sexual one. What really bugged him was the fact he heard she picked fights with everyone, did that mean she fought Eva? That bugged him a lot and for obvious reasons, he did find it funny Jenna would lose to her, despite how big she talked. Then again it was usually the losers who talked the biggest. He shoved it out of his mind, Eva wouldn't fight with other people she was by far too sweet to do such a thing. Not to mention he doubted she would even do well in those kind of battles with how much of a cluts she was. Alvin shook his head when she began to speak of the Pokegirl fights. "Those fights are outrageous, they treat you girls like nothing more then objects.... All they do is send you both to have sex in front of them for there own amusement. Then they rip one of there opponents partners away from them no matter how close they are... I have seen people entirely destroyed by this happening... I have always been afraid that one day you would be found and forced into all that..." Alvin spoke in a clam tone but his facial expression though mostly hid from Eva seemed twisted and angered. It was clear this was something he thought a lot about. Alvin did turn with Eva looking at Jenna oddly, she really was a child at heart. It was when she spoke about her mother and traveling. He didn't think she would want that, but... "Yeah it would be nice, I really wouldn't like to be like my father a tamer as he is. I would like to be a researcher, go to other villages, see other places and meet people. But as the laws of my world, I can't leave my home town unless I am bonded. Then again I have always been breaking the law to see you Eva." Alvin's attitude returned to his cheerful usual self, smiling at his friend. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Eva saw him get a little annoyed at something, but she wasn't sure exactly what it was about. She didn't think it would be a good idea to ask him about it either. Meanwhile, Jenna had only now realized they could see her. She quickly ran off somewhere after that, making Eva chuckle a little bit. "I know that those fights are extreme. I haven't witnessed any or wished to participate in that. Plus, my sisters all keep me close to the village because of things like that. I'm always falling over myself so I don't go anywhere near humans. My sisters all can manage on their own though, and they're constantly looking over me." She was glad to see that he had the same view on the issue as she did, and she was also a little flustered that he cared so much about her because of that. "It would be wouldn't it? there are so many wonderful things I get to see out there. Despite all the bad things in life, there is just as much beauty. That's something my mom told me before she left." Vanessa came back soon after with the tea for them all. She set one down for the three of them and she took her seat across from them. "My, I heard something interesting there. Your father is a tamer yes? How about your mother? That is, if you don't mind me asking." |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | He chuckled a bit at Jenna she did have her cute moments he supposed. She really should act more her gender, and age for that matter though. He realized he made Eva a bit uncomfortable with what he said. He did feel like laughing he felt worried about her a lot. But her sisters were always looking over her, so he wasn't alone. What even hit him was he was her first human contact, which made it rather special to him. Even after she spoke about all the things in the world all he could do was smile. He placed his hand on her head and just smiled, there was nothing there to bother him. He wouldn't say it, but all the beauty he needed was sitting next to him. He chuckled a bit before Vanessa returned setting the tea for him. "Thank you, Vanessa." He spoke picking it up taking a sip before she asked about his father. His gaze lowered, he had come to expect this, especially after he asked about there parents. Taking a breath, he began to relate how his father was. "My father is a tamer, and personally one of the worst. He is the current champion of the Grand Tournament, or at least he was. I don't care to keep track anymore, he left my mother back in my home town while she was pregnant with me. My mother remained with me till I was in junior high before she returned to his roster. I have lived alone alone since then focusing on my studies rather then anything. For a while he protested that he wanted me to follow in his foot steps and become a tamer as he is, and as I said my feelings on the games.... When I entered high school he basically disowned me in a way and I haven't spoke to him since, oh! I am also two years ahead of age range, so I have been in High school for four years already. Well there it is, now you know a bit about mine." Alvin spoke in a clam voice it did seem a little down. It was easy to tell he was disappointed in his father, of what he was, especially talked to these girls. despite the fact he was a big shot in the world, he was disappointed in him. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Eva took a few sips of her tea, though quickly pulled back since it was so hot. Vanessa seemed to have no problems taking a few sips at a time. She noticed him hesitate a little before he spoke, but she didn't show any reaction to it. Jenna was still running around outside, but being out there alone was starting to get to her. She slowly moved back to the house, finding the three of them at the table. She was just in time for the little story Alvin was telling, but moved to the kitchen instead. Vanessa's ear twitched a bit when he mentioned his father being a tamer, but she seemed to stop everything she was doing when he mentioned his father being the Grand Champion. Eva seemed to notice how Vanessa reacted and was beginning to get worried. she looked back from her to Alvin, seeing her react to every detail. As soon as he finished, she had set the cup back on the table. Her expression was not her usual calm look. "So...you are his son." The room was suddenly filled with tension, but the silence was broken when Jenna popped in again. "W wait a second! Are you serious?!" Eva was worried about how they reacting, and she looked back at Alvin. Vanessa spoke up again. "Jenna, take Eva to the room." Jenna blinked, a little confused but did as she said. Eva took another worried look back before she was ushered away. "I know about your father, a little too well. It was a time when I would wander outside the forest myself, but I was confronted. He intended to make me his, but I was somehow able to get away. He was a horrible person, and because of him, I have chosen not to leave this village." There was another long silence. The situation was sure to be nerve wrecking for Alvin. There was a new presence about her, which was almost scary. "I'm sorry Alvin, but I cannot allow you to meet with Eva. Even if you are as nice as she says, I am doing it for her safety." She gave him one last look that seemed to pierce right through him. "I must ask you to leave." |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Alvin watched Vanessa and Jenna carefully, he knew what he had done, and he knew that no one would react well. This was why he continually spoke to Eva telling her that it wasn't a good idea if he remained close. He had hoped they would be a bit more understanding. Yet he could tell as he watched Vanessa's actions as he explained his fathers. Before he finished he slipped a locket into Eva's pocket, without anyone even her noticing. It was something he stole from his father last time he was 'home.' Alvin took a deep breath after he had finished seeming already, full well to leave at a moments notice. He remained silent till Jenna poked herself into the conversation. "To unfortunate standards yes.... I share the blood of that man..." Alvins eyes down cast one eye covered by his spiky red hair. He listened to her tale, he knew it, she was the one he bragged about. "The one that got away...." Alvin muttered to himself too low for even them to hear. When she continued to speak he found himself painfully smiling. "I understand, this was why I asked Eva to never bring me here. At least no one saw me here so you can still act like I never came." Alvin spoke as he stood up, his hair hiding his eyes. "Oi, I know that you at least will hear this request, Jenna.... Tell Eva goodbye for me..." Alvin spoke as he reached the door, but he stood still not leaving there home yet. He felt as if he had to say it, he had too. Though they would not understand it, "I have returned what you lost the day you met my father...." Alvin spoke leaving there home heading into the forest unseen. When Eva would find the locket she would find the locket, held within was what Alvin assumed was picture of her mother. He also put a small note in it, 'Be good, we will meet again someday, I promise, :Alvin'. His father had found it on the ground before he returned empty handed. Alvin had to malice or hatred against them, for barring him from seeing her. He would find a way to be with his friend again one way or another. His stride quick, he found his way back to the cave by following the way they went. He ran through the cave landing on the ground past the slope hard. He could feel blood running down but it didn't matter to him, he slowly rose and went to his bag at the base of the tree looking up into it. His mind began to wander to the first time he met Eva, it was in this exact spot. She fell out of the tree onto him, it had hurt like hell but... Just as that through crossed his mind he felt a drop on his face. 'water...' he thought the clouds had darkened he had knew it was going to rain, yet he didn't feel like pulling out what he had brought to camp with. He felt as if the rain would at least wash a little bit of his black blood from him. "As always, you find a way to ruin my life even more father." Alvin spoke to himself as he felt the presence of someone. He care not who it was, unless it was Eva, but he knew she wouldn't come here anymore. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | While Alvin was excusing himself from their home, Jenna had brought her back to the room, setting her down on the bed. "Jenna? What's going to happen to him?" She was clearly worried, but she was still thinking about what she had heard. Everyone in their family knew about his father, and the horrible things he could have done to Vanessa. "Don't worry about it all right? Just stay here right now. I'm going to talk to her." with that, she left the room to head back to the living room. However, when she returned, neither Alvin or Vanessa wasn't around, but the door of the room Luna had been sleeping in was closed. If she went up close she could hear her sobbing inside. "Tch." Jenna grumbled softly as she debated walking in now. It was likely though that Luna was awake and would be talking with her already. Jenna herself also hated Alvin's father for what he did, but she could not bring herself to hold that against him. Knowing Luna, she'd probably kick he rout anyway. She gritted her teeth a bit as she noticed the dark clouds looming outside. It was obviously going to rain. She wasted no time then in running out the door, slamming it roughly, leaving the three unfinished cups of tea still on the table.Eva still sat in her room, jumping a bit as she heard the door slam downstairs. She quickly moved to her window, seeing what looked like Jenna running outside, but she couldn't be sure. The rain had started to come down, handicapping her vision. She fell back on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. What was going to happen now? She sighed as she moved her hands to her sides, feeling the little bump in her skirt. "Huh?" She reached in, pulling out the golden locket. It seemed oddly familiar to her, but she didn't know why. She fiddled with it a bit, but it suddenly slipped between hr fingers, falling to the floor with a loud thud. It burst open, and she quickly dropped down to it. Her gaze first moved to the picture. It couldn't be."M mom?"She noticed the note right next to the locket, tears forming in her eyes as she read it. She wiped some from her face, only to have them replaced with more."I will be good...so please...come back."The footsteps grew even louder before they stopped. "Hey! Alvin!" Much to his surprise, he would find Jenna standing there, gasping for air. She had run non stop from home, and her knees were killing her. "You're going to give up...? Just like that?!" She growled softly as she moved even closer to him. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Alvin didn't move at Jenna's voice for a good time before sitting up. His movements were sluggish, and rough, he lifted his head. His red hair clinging to his face, he looked at Jenna. His gaze was sharp, it was like his eyes pierced through her. Alvin sat there glaring at her, she did not catch him in the best mood. Though she had not done anything his body was reacting to what has happened. His nerves where going haywire his mind boiled with rage against his father. The Sadness of being bared from his friend, it was all getting to him. His eyes averted from her to the pond full of ripples. 'Give up...' Alvin thought, he had spoken of doing anything to gain approval of them earlier. He had known this would happen why did he go... Why didn't he oppose Eva! Why didn't he just say no!? But for some reason, he found it funny. It was one of those moment that you were so mad that you just laughed. His head reared to the sky and he just laughed, his hair covering his eyes. "Why not! Why don't I just give up, it is my fate to be hate by pokegirl's! Who am I to care about anything other then my self! Who am I to challenge the black blood it me!" Alvin yelled as he sat there, staring at the sky, he could feel the anger in her. Rightly so though he didn't know entirely why. There conversations before he had always been so sure of himself so proud, so true to what he belived in. But this made him doubt, everything he had done till now. Every meeting with Eva, every talk they had, everything and anything. Alvin's head fell back to where he looked to Jenna. "Who am I to hurt her like this...? Cursed by the black blood of my father, I have already sinned against you all... The sins of the father are the sins of the son aren't they...?" He spoke, it was clear that the fact that his father had tried to tame one of them bothered him. His eyes, were unlike they were with anyone but Eva. Soft, Gentle even, but they seemed odd, as if a deep sorrow was hidden behind them. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Jenna just stood there watching him. The rain had started to really fall now, and the two of them were getting soaked. For the longest time, he didn't say anything to her. She was left standing there. "Say something damnit!" He stood up before her, and she wondered just what he would say. She was shocked as he suddenly threw his head back, letting out a maniacal laugh. Her eyes widened in fear and confusion. what had he become. He had completely changed from the Alvin she was just talking to earlier today. "W why are you laughing?! Don't you see what you're doing?!" It appeared that he had quite the talk with Vanessa. It was clearly about his father, and now even he was turning against himself because of his blood. "You idiot! Wake up!" She growled as she moved in, suddenly slapping him roughly across his right cheek. "Don't you get it?! You think you've been hurting her all this time?! Do you know how much she wants to see you?! You're hurting her now by trying to forget all about her!" She clenched her fists tightly as she continued. "Sins of a father...are the sins of a son...what kind of crap logic is that?!"Back at their home, Vanessa had seemed to calm down for now. There was a knock on the door and Eva slipped inside. She held the locket tightly in her hand, with the note tucked safely in hr pocket. She knew that her sister was probably still mad about this whole thing. "Vanessa! Vanessa, you need to see this!" Luna looked up at her. "Hey...you were supposed to stay upstairs you know." Eva took her sister's hands, plopping the locket in her hand. "I thought I need to at least give this back to you, but it wasn't me that had it."Jenna stepped back a few steps. the rain had made her clothing stick tighter to her body, also weighing her down a bit. The same could be said for Alvin. "If you're not going to listen to reason..." She suddenly lifted her fists up, spreading her legs a bit. "...I'll knock some of that reason in you! If you really want to see Eva again, then you're going to fight! This is for both of you!" |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Alvins head went sharply to the side when she smacked him, but he just sat there. Silence ensued as she ended her little talk. It was at that time, like a low rumble his laughter returned. This laughter was darker then before, it was at this time the true scary thing would come out. Alvin slowly inched up the tree standing, his upper body hanging down arms swinging, laughing. His mind had reached it's breaking point, all the pent up emotions erupted, he would no doubt return to himself at one point. Yet even so it was clear he would of long hurt himself beyond medical repair. "You fight me...?" Alvins laugh grew deeper and darker as his head rose to meet her face to face, his eyes seemingly blank. He swayed back and forth slowly his laughter taunting her. Without warning he lounged at her his hand catching her shoulder before she could react, but rather then start wailing on her he just pushed her forward. She would find a sting where he had grabbed her, Three slash marks on her skin, all three dripping blood. Each were shallow cuts but he had no weapon on him, it meant he did it with his nails alone if anything. His crackling increased, as he flung himself at her again, this time fists swinging in her direction, without even seeming to aim. He just struck in the direction she was in, laughing all the while, he was leaving himself open for any counter attack. But She was to find that attacking back was of no use. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Jenna backed up a little as he started to rise to his feet. A little chill ran up her spine as his evil cackle returned. His anger and depression was starting to overwhelm him, and he was becoming like this. It was a horrible thing to witness. for a while, she seemed hesitant, her eyes wide with fear. She had no time to worry about that though as he suddenly lunged at her, grabbing her by the shoulder and pushing her back. It wasn't enough to knock her back, but she felt the stinging sensation in her shoulder. she looked to see the three cuts. they weren't too bad, but enough to draw some blood. He was dangerous no doubt. Before she could think, he came at her again, flailing his fists wildly at her. This was fine, as he was far too reckless in the attack. she could easily read his movements like this, and she saw her chance for a counterattack. She ducked in, clenching her fist tightly. "Sorry." With all the strength she could muster, she sent her fist straight into his gut, making a sickening sound upon impact. This had to be enough to take him out, or at least knock him senseless. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | The fear in Jenna seemed to push his attacks more and more. He was swift, and it was clear his hits were hard, by the gust of air that moved. But it was most likely the laugh that unernved her more, that blood curling laugh. The cuts would of surprised him too, but not now, he was too focus, to find his hails were now sharpened. It was when the impact came against him that that grotesque sound came. A gurgling sound that was worse then when someone was sick. That strike was indeed enough to knock him senseless, if it was any other time. The sound stopped and he seemed to fall a bit, his hand on her shoulder clenching softly his head upon his arm. He remained still for a good short time, before his head popped up. That blank look in his eyes now had a ear to ear smile attached to it. "Wrong O!" He laughed again, his knee connected with he stomach. He could feel the force of it, it wasn't hard enough to bring someone of her resistance down but it would sure as hell hurt. He stepped to the side of her his leg raising up above her only to come down onto her back slamming her into the mud. "Little dog, oh little dog, fight thy master, you fall all the faster!" Alvin crackled as he hovered above her his voice cracking. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Jenna seemed very hopeful in seeing her attack connect, and she saw him start to fall back, but she soon noticed it was all an act. She was surprised that her attack had done nothing to him at all. she gasped as he grabbed her shoulder again, this time sending his knee up into her stomach. A sickening gasp escaped her lips as she felt the air knocked out of her. She wasn't down yet though, but she felt his leg suddenly drop down on her back, sending her down into the mud. "Tch...what the hell?!" she muttered to herself. This side of him was so cynical and twisted. It was hard to picture after seeing him before. "Are you mad?! you think Eva would want to see you like this?!" She rolled away from him, quickly getting back on her feet. It didn't look like regular attacks would do her any good, so she'd have to find another way, but what? Her eyes widened a bit as a plan came to her head."do I really want to go through with that? What about Eva?"she thought. There was no time to be thinking about it with alvin like this. She had made up her mind. this was the only way she knew that she could snap him out of it. She growled softly as she quickly charged him, roughly tackling him to the ground. She quickly grabbed his wrists, shoving them down against the ground. At the same time, she tried to reach and remove his pants. Despite his struggling or attempts to strike her, she managed to avoid it, pulling down his pants and boxers. His member was now revealed, a little hard already. She was rather embarrassed at what she was about to do, but there was no turning back now. She started to stroke his member roughly, trying to get him erect. At the same time, she started to slip out of her own clothes, pulling off her shorts and panties. She secured his arms once more, still stroking his member until he was nice and hard. she grabbed his arms and positioned herself over his member. "It's for Eva..." she said, suddenly lowering herself all the way done on his member. She gasped as he stretched her out, her body tensing a bit. she couldn't rest now though, and started to raise and lower herself on top of his member. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Alvin continued to laugh as she rolled away, "Mad? Oh, hatter, oh hatter, are you madder? Is there something the matter, does that make you sadder?" Alvin laughed as he began to speak in riddles. By this point there was doubt that even Eva's voice would get through with him. He did seem surprised by her actions. Tackling him, to the ground he seemed quite unaffected. He did really seem to resist in the same way. He could feel her hand soft and smooth, slippery from the rain falling upon them. It was at the moment of hesitation when she lifted herself up, she would feel turning. He pulled a full Three sixty he was now on top of her. His hand lifted her rear up, He thrusted himself into her as roughly as he could. "If this is what you wanted then you wanted then all you had to do was ask." His laughter had stopped and he seemed more calmer, but still twisted as could be. Despite the mud of her shirt his face shot down. Mouth clamping on her breast, he bit down not enough to bring any blood but enough to mix pain and pleasure. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Jenna let out a little cry of surprise as she was suddenly moved to the ground. He had managed to shift the weight, and she was now on the bottom. This was not how she had planned it at all. She was hoping that she would bring him to his senses this way, but now that it was like this, he was still acting on his sinister side. Each thrust into her made her cry out in pain and pleasure. This was her first time, and her body was still getting used to this new sensation. In due time though, the pain had started to subside, quickly turning it to pleasure. She clenched her fists tightly when he clamped down on her breast, biting on her nipple. It was like he was trying to please her, but torture her a bit as well. The sensation was starting to overwhelm her, and she soon found her natural instincts kicking in. She began to gently buck her hips against his thrusts. "N no...this is for Eva..." Dd she really want this? Sure it felt good and all, but that wasn't her intention. The sound of his balls smacking against her ass echoed loudly in the area, even amongst the rain. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Alvins new personallity switched seem much more calm and in control. Even so he was clearly not the original one. This one seemed much more like most tamers. He grinned at her screams of pain and pleasure. he could feel the trickle of the blood and her juices, along his balls. He leaned back as she began to speak. His crackling laugh came back for a few moments. He grabbed her shirt, his nails slashed through her shirt ripping it off of her. "For Eva? Really now, why are your hips connecting to mine, why aren't you fighting me? Your just a little slut aren't you?" The darker Alvin spoke in a calm tone. His thrust grew harder, and harder, he began lifting her up. He lifted her up so he was standing, her shoulders and head were the only thing still on the ground. Alvin grabbed her legs pushing them down against her chest. Leaning down he pushed himself even deeper into her. "Let me hear it, let me hear you say, 'im a little bitch, and I only want you to fuck me.' Come on say it!" Alvin spoke using bitch in it's literal meaning. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Jenna's body continued to squirm under him. Her body was feeling amazing right now, despite the circumstances of which she was experiencing it. The mix of her blood and juices made it much easier for him to thrust his member deeper and harder inside her. For a while it looked like he had calmed down, but he then reached forward and tore her shirt clean off of her body. Her eyes widened again at his words. Was she really doing this because she like how it felt? Of course, this was her plan earlier, except she didn't think it would turn out like this. "N no...I'm not a slut." As he continued, she grew uncomfortable with him lifting her up. She felt the stretch in her back as her shoulders and head remained on the ground, and soon her legs were pushed up against her chest. She cried out again loudly as he reached even deeper inside of her, making her body shiver violently."I can't say anything like that...I can't..."She then thought about it. This wasn't Alvin, at least not the real one. However, she couldn't help but admit how amazing he was making her feel. She bit her bottom lip gently before she spoke up. "Ah...I'm a little bitch...and I only want you to fuck me." She could feel a growing warmth over her body, and she could tell she was close to her climax. It wasn't much longer from there that she tensed up again, spilling her fluids all over his member. That was the first part of the bonding process. All that was left was for him to cum inside her. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | This darker Alvin seemed to enjoy tormenting her like this. Her squirming body, all the noises she was making. He knew full well she was enjoying it. Her body coiling around him, as tight as it could he knew full well he had her where he wanted her. He could only chuckle at her protests about her being a slut. Oh, she knew full well it was in he blood to be one. It was in all pokegirl's blood to be sluts, or at least that was what this Alvin thought. He loved how her body shivered around him the deeper he went. As she thought about herself not being able to say it, he began pressing down harder against her. His thrusts grew faster as she spoke, and that psychotic grin returned once again. In the position she was in, her own cum splattered down her body, barely missing her face, most landing on her chest. As she came a strange burning sensation formed on her shoulder. It wasn't hot, it was rather pleasurable, like someone put a warm pad on a tense muscle. It formed into a strange mark, it was dark and black, something ominous about it. After it had fully formed, Alvin grabbed the small of her back lifting her up so she was pressed up against his body. Her legs still squeezed close to her chest, her feet now resting on his shoulders. Without a moments hesitation he dropped her down, all the way to the base. He held her there allowing her a moments rests, as he leaned in. "Such a good girl, my master is going to have fun taming you, and your entire little hidden village!" Alvins laugh echoed out, it seemed faint, like it was coming from behind. A dark aura appeared behind him, it made quite apparent what had happened, Possession. At that very moment his thrusts returned strong, fast, and without moment. This continued only for a short time before what had possessed Alvin felt the build of force coming from below. "You... Are.... Mi " What possessed him spoke before something happened, a sudden shock, a force unseen forced it out. The Possesser, a Pokegirl, Haunter Variant, stunned and confused, she watched Alvin.Alvins body shuddered and he came, and hard, his cum splattering her insides, now himself again he could feel her body filling up with his seed. Panting he stumbled to the tree sliding down the side of the tree onto the dryer ground. He was confused where was he what happened? All he remembered was speaking of his father, then some shadow coming over his eyes then... He was here, cumming into someone he didn't know? He pulled the girl slightly away from him to see her face to find out who it was. "J...Jenna!?" Alvin spoke, to hear a groan from above looking up he saw a ghostly girl fade away quickly. As he sat there puzzled the seal changed, it's shape, and color now much brighter, like a crystal white, and in the oddest of shapes."What the hell was that.... T...those eyes....Slanted and a light purple, like a beast glaring at you, with the intent to kill.... That man isn't normal.... I have to report to the master, and he isn't going to be happy...." The haunter girl spoke to herself as she flew hidden in the shadows of the night sky, before fading away again. It seemed something much darker was beginning and this was only the start of it. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | At this point, Jenna was literally clinging tightly to Alvin's body. Of course, she was still going on with her protesting, saying how this wasn't really for her. Of course, this Alvin knew very well that it wasn't the only thing on her mind. As it went on, she was finding it much harder to protest. The sensation was amazing! After she came, she could feel the warm sensation on her shoulder, and she could see the symbol starting to form. However, there was something that was not right. There was something different about this one. From all the times she had gone out of the village to watch these fights, she had never seen such dark symbol. Each one she saw was pure. Before she could really examine it, she was brought even closer to Alvin, her body bouncing a bit each time he thrust into her. The new position she was in was a little uncomfortable having her legs pressed so close against her chest, and she let out a loud cry of pleasure as she dropped down on the base of his member. Her ears perked a bit as she heard him speak."W what is this? Master?"This had opened her eyes even more. She knew for sure now that this was not Alvin acting. He was being possessed. She had heard of such occurrences before, but never witnessed them. And while she couldn't see the dark aura about him, she could sense it, and it made a chill run up her spine.Jenna gripped onto him even tighter as she felt his member twitch inside of her. She knew what was coming now. If she didn't stop him however, who knows what would happen to her. She heard him cut off, and she felt him stumble a little. At the same time, she was filled up to the brim with his warm seed. This had driven her over the edge again and she came as well. As he collapsed against the tree, she did as well, falling against his chest. She was breathing hard, her body limp. She tried to hold onto consciousness, but she was far too exhausted. She managed to mutter one last thing before she passed out. "You...idiot." |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Alvin listened to her comment before she passed out, not entirely sure what had happened here. He slowly moved her legs off of him, into a more comfortable position. It was a few moments of bliss there. He had never cum so hard, or rather in anyone, he did feel guilt and a bit of sorrow that it wasn't with Eva. For the time he thought nothing of it till he felt a cold breeze wash over them. It was night and the temperature was dropping even more, especially after there romp in the rain. He didn't feel sick, and he hopped that Jenna wasn't either. That would be just what he needed, He was in luck his pack was within reach. Snatching it, he pulled out the content of it, a large blanket, which he draped over himself and her. As he pulled it over her, he felt something warm, but it wasn't a body heat kind. As the palm of his hand pressed against it he felt the same burning sensation she had. Pulling his hand away quickly he brought it around to see what it was. The very same mark on her back was now on his hand. He examined it, it was odd, like no other mark he had seem, tamer or not. In his mind he went over anything he had read about unusual marks appearing on humans that pokegirl's caused. But nothing the only thing that happened was a tamed girl would be marked with the same mark that everyone had. This was odd and puzzled him but as drained as he felt he gave up for the time. He pulled the blanket covering them both, not even bothering to move her off of him, or even take himself out of her. As she had he drifted asleep slowly thinking about the mark. As he slept he found himself in a strange dream. 'Where am I?' Alvin pondered as he walked along, the empty blackness. There was nothing there at all, as he walked he began to become frightened of the emptiness calling out to find anyone. Yet he could make no sound, he couldn't even hear himself breath. He began to panic running forward, straight down what seemed like a unwritten path. It was then all of a sudden light surrounded him, shielding his eyes he wondered what happened. The light was not bright like the sun, but gentle and soft, like the moon. As his eyes adjusted he looked to the sky, to see a full moon, unlike what he had seen previously, from where he and Jenna slept. Stepping forward, he smelt the fresh scents of Autumn about, and found himself looking at a pond. He saw his reflection but it seemed odd to him, he was dressed like a samurai or something. Unsure what to make of this he stared at the water till a figure appeared above him, cloaked in complete darkness. Frightened by this he turned around to find a tree, in the same spot where one would be in his and eva's special place, and up on the very same branch eva would be he saw it, the dark figure. Yet things were off about this place, the tree for one, it was of full bloom sakura. Alvin stood motionless for a good time, before finding himself yelling voiceless, and soundless at the figure. 'who are you? What are you! What are you in my sanctuary!?' He would yell among other things, and he knew not why, but just yelled. It was in a sudden moment the figures eyes open staring deep into Alvin as if seeing through him. There gaze could not be broken, he was mesmerized, and... afraid, of those eyes. It was then a shallow, filtered out hollow voice came. "Awaken..." Everything around him shattered, and he felt as even himself would. It was at that moment he awoken panting, a cold sweat ran down his body. He found himself close together with Jenna, realizing where he was. He had remembered before he gone to sleep more and more as he began to come back to himself. He found himself holding her close apologizing, still unsure of all he had done, only remember after the haunter left him. He slowly lifted her off of him laying her as gently as he could next to him. He proceeded to get up and look for his cloths, and hers. He found all of them all muddy and disgusting, as well as her shirt in shreds. Sighing he brought them to the pond cleaning them the best he could before hanging them on a branch. He thanked the stars he remembered spare clothes, dressing himself. He looked for a any other spares he had finding a old P.E shirt, it would be big on her but it would have to do. Alvin laid it next to her, walking to the bond he began to think about what had happened trying to remember something. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | All throughout the night, Jenna remained laying against his chest, though he didn't think of disturbing her or pulling out of her either. Every now and then, she would shift a bit making her whine a bit with his member still inside her. It seemed like she was really happy though, having a good dream maybe. Actually she was. Her dreams mainly consisted of her if she hadn't 'fallen'. It wasn't to say that she didn't like herself now, but she found a lot of peace with them. Her dream now though involved Alvin."Alvin you idiot. You're so unreliable."she would say to him. Of course, it would lead to their usual playful banter. Perhaps she was only dreaming of him since they were bonded now. She had seen him so many times, and even though she had literally run into him all those times, she had never once dreamed about him. Of course, she did enjoy being around him. She liked him a lot. Now that she was bonded with him, maybe Vanessa wouldn't be so hard on him. Well, now she'd have to let him stay over.She was set on the ground, still naked of course, but she began to stir after a while. As she opened her eyes, she found that it was surprising cold. Her eyes shot opened when she remembered everything, and she sat up instantly. She found herself in the same area she had fought with Alvin last night. Jenna spotted him right there near her, and she covered herself up by instinct. "W what is this?" She noticed the giant shirt near her and she quickly pulled it on. Thankfully she still had her panties and shorts, spared from the 'other Alvin'. She pulled them on as well and stood up. The shirt almost consumed her, but it was better than nothing right? She got up to look for him, eventually finding him at the pond. It didn't seem like he was possessed or anything, and she couldn't feel that presence from earlier. She gently rubbed the mark that appeared on her shoulder, which still felt a little warm. She blushed slightly at the fact that she was bonded now, but she was the one that put herself in that situation, so she couldn't do anything about it. "Hey! Are you okay now?" |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Alvin stared at his hand curiously, the mark puzzled him more and more. Yet what confused him even more was his dream, what significance did it have to this mark. He felt as if it had something to do with it, but what... The more he thought of it the more frustrated he got, it wasn't long before he gave himself a migraine headache. Alvin sighed rubbing his temples to ease the pain. His eyes fluttering close he tried hard to concentrate in on himself. 'Who are you...? No... Who am i...?' That was the question he posed onto himself. He felt as if he wasn't himself, as if there was something else about him that not even he knew. This made him feel rather uneasy, and it seemed to bother him more then the mark, or the dream. Even so this was most likely that these things were a cause of it. No matter how hard he tried there was nothing, it only seemed to worsen his headache. Sighing once more he crawled to the pond, scoping up a handful of water and splashing himself in the face. He had hoped that would help refresh him, though it did make his head sting on contact with the ice cold water. Perhaps that wasn't the best idea to do while he had a headache. He watched the ripples of the water and noticed something strange about his reflection, something was off. As the water cleared he found what was wrong, his eyes. This surprised him a great deal but it didn't frighten him, his eyes were no longer the deep amber color they once were. The had changed in a rather drastic way, his eyes had brightened into a quite unnatural human color, a purpleish pink color. For some reason he remembered seeing such eyes before but could not place where. As he reached for the water as if to touch his own reflection he was startled. Quickly he turned to find Jenna behind him, thankfully wearing the shirt he had laid out for her. "Ah, Jenna your awake. Are you alright? It seems something happened last night, I just can entirely remember what. All I remember is it started raining, and I was sitting at the tree... Then I felt someone there, I thought it was Vanessa coming after me, then.... Everything went black, and then I woke up, to a pleasurable feeling then..." Alvin seemed to trail off as he recalled what happened after. His memory of last night still fresh, at least what he remembered. He knew they were bonded now, but how he didn't know. He hid his right hand away from her, the mark he didn't entirely want her to see. At least not until he could figure out what it entirely meant. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Jenna was glad to at least see that he wasn't the other Alvin she had run into last night. It was such a scary experience to see him like that. From his words she could determine that he knew nothing about the possession. Of course, before she could see who the perpetrator was, she had passed out on him. She blushed slightly as he mentioned last night. Of course she was fully aware of what had happened, but it seemed that he wasn't aware of everything that happened. She was pretty happy that he happened to have some extra clothes for her, even if she looked a little odd in them. She walked over next to him, trying to go along with her usual attitude. "Ah, well if it's about last night, there's so much I can say." She lifted the sleeve of the shirt up for him to see the same mark on her shoulder that he had on his hand. "Ah, I'm sure you know that this means we're bonded now. Lucky you huh? To think you're lucky enough to snag someone like me huh?"Knowing her joking around probably wasn't the best thing right now, she remembered why exactly she had gone about chasing him last night. "Um...listen, I felt a little bad about the whole argument you had with Vanessa. I didn't think it was fair for you to be thrown out like that. Eva was really worried about you." she said. She knew that the two of them really enjoyed each other's company, and it would be horrible to see what Eva would be like without him. She paused as she sneezed. Of course, after all that time in the rain, it was no surprise she had gotten a little sick. As she got closer, it was then that she noticed his eyes. While she didn't exactly pay attention to what his eye color was before, she knew for sure that this was an odd color for a human to have. It was probably because of them bonding, but even so, she had not heard of situations like this. "Ah? What's up with your eyes? Do they feel weird at all?" |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Alvin seemed so unsure about everything, which was a easy thing, he was possessed last night after all. It was in it's own nature left the victim confused, dazed, most would be out of there mind for at least two weeks. But Alvin was calm, and alert about everything, it creeped him out. He did take notice to how she looked in his clothes, it was kind of amusing, she seemed like a little sister in her big brothers clothes, with how baggy it was on her. She seemed to be well with everything that happened, though he was sure she was making the best of the situation right now. He listened to her speak about last night his eyes sank down, staring at the ground before him. He let out a deep sigh before turning to the pond, "I think it's best if I not know what happened. But something about last night..." Alvin trailed off as she reveled the mark, his eyes glaceing it over making sure it was for sure. He took note it was like his, unusual, and not as any other mark. He had no doubt that she didn't know, it was hard to see from it's position. Pulling his right hand from hiding he flipped his palm over matching the two. They were a perfect match as he had expected. "I have been going over in my mind all the marks a Pokegirl can get and if there is any a girl can give. I can't think of a single one... Especially not one that both girl and guy receive after the bonding... And most of all none like these... I haven't seen many except in text books but I mesmerized every curve, every shape, and each characteristic of them, and there are only four types. Normal Bond, Love bond, Abandoned Bond, and Death Bond. The normal is usually made from forced taming, Love is one that comes from two people who love each other before bonding, and it's a very passionate taming. Abandoned is when someone tames a abandoned girl, and lastly the Death bond... This comes from someone who has killed a pokegirl and tames another.... This mark is generally associated with Tamers who have ghost pokegirls.... These are the darkest of them all, and normally mean a horrible future for the girls... But this seems to be a firth variant..." Alvin explained the taming bonds to Jenna. It wouldn't be a surprised if she didn't know about the three other bonds. Seeing as those bonds were never formed in the Arenas they were formed in the world. Alvin listened to her as he thought about it all, and was about to respond when she sneezed. This surprised him, though he wasn't surprised she would have a cold. It was when she spoke of his eye color he looked a bit away, seemingly unwilling to answer at first. "Sort of, it feels like I can see things a few moment's before they happen when i am concentrating on something. It's strange, but it doesn't feel wrong, it's like I have always been able to do it just not remember it or something, I don't know..." Alvin spoke watching the water, and his reflection, each ripple a few seconds before they happened, yet when he stopped he saw them again, doing the same thing, it was strange, but familiar. Alvin shooked his head slightly shaking the thought out of his mind for the moment. Jenna didn't seem like she was well and that took importance for the moment. Alvin leaned in to her his forehead gently pressing against hers, his eyes staring directly into hers. A seeming swirl in the background of the light violet iris's of his. Yet as quickly as he moved in he moved away. "You have a fever, it's mild but I don't think it's a good idea to stay out here. Nore do I think it is a good idea for you to go home, at least not wearing my shirt with a bonded mark on your shoulder. I doubt Vanessa would let me explain before things went flying... And I think it would hurt Eva's heart even more, if that happened..." Alvin got up heading to where the blanket and his pack laid. He slowly gathered them up, so they were ready. Slinging it over his shoulder he looked to the sky a seeming worried face. "Theres a strange wind blowing.... A wind that brings ill fate.... Somethings going to be happening here soon, and there has to be something we can do to stop it. After last night, I am sure of it, we got a lot of work ahead of us..." Alvin spoke in a calm tone as if he wasn't surprised at all. In all truth he wasn't really, he had a ill feeling for a while yet never showed it. The games were occurring more and more often, yes it was getting closer to the years tournament, but the unusual amount of taming games were giving him a ill feeling about it all. Alvin turned to her with a smile, as he usually had. "Well, we always snuck in and out of the city, this time we get to walk though the front door, huh?" Alvin spoke in a calm tone the sun shining down behind him he really seemed to have returned in full. Alvin moved back to her offering his hand to help her up. "Shall we go? Together this time Jenna." Alvin spoke, his appearance seemed softer, for some reason then it had before with her. He himself was unaware of how he appeared in that moment. |
To get the girl I like, I got to get her family (Fancy & Me) | Jenna watched as he revealed his hand to her, and her eyes widened a bit in anticipation. It was the same mark on her shoulder of course. she looked up to him as he mentioned the different types of bonding marks there were. It surprised her that he knew so much about them, and she didn't quite know about all of the ones he mentioned. She knew about the normal and love marks, but the others seemed very logical once she thought about it. the idea of the death bond came to her mind. He mentioned that tamers with that mark were usually associated with ghost type girls. that was most likely what was behind the possession incident. that would be the most logical conclusion. While she didn't see if it was a ghost type, she was confident enough that only ghost types would be capable of possessing. This meant their master had previously killed a pokegirl, and he could prove to be a very dangerous customer. "A fifth variant huh? W well, all the other ones had a certain condition behind them right? Well, what was our condition for bonding?" She took a little time to think about it. She thought back to when she confronted him last night, and even as far as when she ran into him before. She didn't think of something that would be so out of the ordinary, and just thinking so much was hurting her head.She sneezed again, not as loud though. It was actually a rather cute sneeze. She seemed very interested in his words. "Ah! So it's like looking into the future! That would be a very handy ability wouldn't it? She saw him looking in the water at his reflection, and she walked over to look as well. She didn't see anything different about her in terms of physical condition. This was all so confusing. "Well, whatever the reason for this, it's the first time I've heard of it. I've never seen any other tamers with their eyes changing color." she blinked. Was it really bad for her to go home. Sure after all this Vanessa was probably still in a bad mood. "W well, that might be true...I'd be sure to get a mouthful from her. But, that's not my main concern." She moved away for now, spinning on her heel to face him again. "I just thought maybe Eva would want to see you...at least one more time. Or at least let her know you're okay." She clearly wasn't aware of the locket he handed Eva."A strange wind huh...?"She crossed her arms over her chest as the gentle breeze rushed over them again. "Yeah...it looks like it." She smiled back at him. This time they wouldn't have to hide anything. a thought came to her mind though. "Ah, when we head back, what about those guys that always drag you everywhere? I'm sure they'd be surprised to find you bonded with me all of a sudden." then again, she didn't really think about how someone might recognize her as well, kind of like how Alvin had when he first reached the village. "But yeah..." She took his hand, giving him a playful grin. "Whatever happens, we're ready right. I'm not going to let anything get at you all righty? I'm a tough gal when I need to be." |
