The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
Temari growled, then let out a muffled howl of pleasure as she came hard along with Alyce. The sensation of cum flooding into her womb was intense, her stomach ballooning slightly as so much poured inside of her, more of it bursting out of her pussy and pouring to the floor. Her body shivered as the tentacles started to cum all over her body, coating her head to toe, tentacles pushing out of her mouth and her ass, her body squirming and spasming, Temari's gurgles muffled as her body twitched.
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
A large mass of tentacles moved under her and lightly cushioned her as the others let her down. Alyce went with her laying out beside her on the bed of tentacles. She snuggled the girl close as the tentacles pulled out slowly unwinding inside her before pulling all the way out of her ass and mouth leaving nothing inside her but their cum. Alyce leaned over and nuzzled against the girl smiling. ??Now you see what that so bad? I think you rather enjoyed it didn ??t you? ?
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
Temari was panting heavily as the tentacles set her down, thick cum dripping from every part of her body. The tentacles felt...odd...beneath her. It was like laying on a giant pile of flesh, the tentacles moving slowly beneath her. Though as odd as it felt, it was rather....calming in its own way. The girl grunted as the tentacles withdrew from her, leaving her with an oddly empty sensation, despite the overflowing amounts of cum still trapped within her. "Y yes....I enjoyed it....I loved it.....I...I can't live without more..." Temari had fallen completely under Alyce's spell, clearly willing to do anything and everything that Alyce asked of her. A little milk was still dribbling from Temari's nipples, running down her body and dripping onto the mass of tentacles beneath them.
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
She smiled and stroked the still swollen belly of the girl next to her. ??I will gladly give you more my dear but I need you to help me introduce more girls to this pleasure. ? She smiled and leaned over kissing Temari softly still lightly rubbing her belly. ??I will give you the power to bring other girls to me to make them want the same thing you just had so that we can bring many more girls the pleasure you just enjoyed. ? She smiled her hand rubbing down and touching Temari ??s pussy lightly rubbing at her clit. ??Are you willing my pet? ?
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
"Y yes....yes I'm willing....I'll get you all the girls you want....I'll do anything you want!" Temari's voice was slightly desperate, as if begging for the affection and approval of Alyce. "Just tell me what to do....tell me who you want....and I'll go and get them. Man or woman....I'll get whoever you desire for you...." Temari moved closer, shivering as Alyce rubbed at her swollen belly, cum still leaking from the girls body, her belly ever so gradually returning to normal size.
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
Alyce smirked and pressed one finger against Temari ??s clit hard and sent a small jolt of power into the engorged bundle of nerves. The cum that was left in her womb suddenly drained out and down to her clit so that as Alyce pulled her finger out the small bud started to grow. She pulled lightly on it and smirked as it grew quickly into a full thick powerful cock. ??There now, you have the power that I have my dear, you can make it come and go as you please now go and find some beautiful sexy girl to add into my servants. ? With a wave of Alyce ??s hand she would clothe Temari in a tight sexy dress that would still be tented by the hard cock.
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
Temari gasped as a jolt hit her clit, then shivered as she felt the cum draining from her womb. "Nnnngh....ooooooh!" She looked down and gasped as her clit slowly grew out, slowly forming into a large, proud cock. "Oh god....it's....it's beautiful..." Under normal circumstances Temari would be freaked out...but not now....this was a gift from her master....and she loved it. She shivered as the tight dress appeared on her, pushed up and out by the dress as she slowly stood up. "Thank you master.....I will find someone you are sure to love....but please...may I...may I use this on them to bring them to you...? I want to feel that pleasure....please..."
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
Alyce smiled and reached down to lightly stroke the thick head through the thin dress. ??Mmmm you may use it on them my dear, that is why I gave it to you. And if you are good my dear and want to I might just let you keep it as long as you promise to use it on me when I ask for it. ? she smiled and lightly stroked the hard thick shaft before moving to stand up the tentacles lifting them both. ??Now go you and my tentacle servants will find play things for us all my dear. ?
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
Temari licked her lips, clearly excited at the prospect of getting to try out her new cock, wanting to find out exactly what it would feel like. "Oh yes master...I'll be good, swear I will, and I'll make sure I use this to please you" Temari smiled, then groaned as her cock was given a firm stroke through her dress, before she was lifted up to her feet. "Yes, I will find you a most suitable new pet..." Temari just hoped she would remain the favourite, even amongst the new ones she found. Temari turned to go, grunting as she slowly retracted her cock back into her body in order to avoid drawing attention right away, then moved to leave the basement, and the building.
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
Alyce smiled as she watched her new pet leaving to go hunt down another one for her and she growled at the thought of more girls to take. She didn ??t want just one though so she motioned and the tentacles moved out in a different direction to hunt down a choice young thing for her. Temari even though she was still hopped up on the endorphins in her blood, she was still a ninja and a skilled one at that. As soon as she slipped out into the night she started moving like a assassin on the hunt for her target. She rushed through the town trying to find her one choice and passing up many girls that she came across that were out late. It wasn ??t until she landed not far from a hot spring just out side the walls, she smirked and nodded knowing she found her target as she saw Hinata in there alone.
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
Hinata let out a contented sigh as she sat in the hotspring...it felt so good to relax like this. Her titanic breasts were floating on the surface of the water, a little sore after being restrained for so long. Hinata had long kept their true size a secret, strapping them down or wearing tight clothing. By now she had surpassed even Tsunade in terms of size, though her gifts were still gravity defyling firm, sticking out proudly from the girls chest. "Ahhhh...." Slowly Hinata started to stand up, water dripping from her body as it glistened in the bright moonlight, stretching and running her hands through her long black hair. "Suppose it's getting late...."
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
Temari licked her lips as she looked at Hinata as she could see that the girl had been hiding a lot from them all. As she stood up Temari dropped down into the bushes and making sure her new cock was soft and retracted so it wouldn ??t get hard right now she walked out toward the hotspring. ??Oh?! Hinata isn ??t it? I didn ??t know anyone else knew about this hotspring. ? She slowly walked toward the kunoichi reaching up and starting to unbutton her dress. ??Care if I join you? It is always better bathing together. ?
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
"Ah!" Hinata squeaked in surprise, suddenly covering herself up as Temari stepped out, looking around to face her. "O oh....i...it's Temari isn't it..? I...well...I was just about to go home...I..." Hinata wasn't sure what to do...she was embarassed...even around another girl she didn't want to be naked. But she had a feeling that Temari wasn't going to take no for an answer. "I....I can stay a little longer...." Hinata slowly got back into the water, keeping her back to Temari until she was under the water to try and hide her body.
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
Temari slipped into the beautifully warm water and sighed deeply still seeing Hinata hiding her body. she smirked and came over to her lightly brushing her hands on the girls back. ??Whats wrong Hinata? Why are you feeling so shy? Its just us girls here come on turn around and let me see you. ? She smirked and wrapped her arms around Hinata from behind and playfully started to wrestle with her trying to get her to turn around. it seemed innocent enough but Temari used the physical contact to allow some of the ooze that her mistress had taught her to make and let it rub over Hinata ??s back and even her breasts when Temari ??s hands touched them.
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
Hinata yelped as Temari got closer, trying to pull away from the other girl. "P please....I....d don't..." Hinata squeaked as she felt the other girls hands moving against her breasts, feeling slightly odd....a heat that wasn't from the springs starting to fill her body. "T Temari san please....d don't..." Hinata felt her large nipples starting to harden, sticking nearly a full inch out from her body.
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
Temari smirked and leaned in closer kissing and lightly nipping at Hinata ??s neck. ??Aww but you look like you are enjoying it Hinata kun. ? She smiled and moved in closer rubbing around the thick long nipples on the tips of those huge breasts. ??Mmmm such nice breasts I wish that I could have such big ones. ? She hefted a breast lightly before she leaned in and closer her lips around a nipple sucking lightly her saliva much like the ooze designed to make Hinata wet and needy.
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
"P please...d don't..." Hinata panted and whimpered as she felt Temari rubbing and tugging her large nipples, yelping as the other girl started to suck on it. "O ooooh....n nooo....no T Temari san don't..." Whilst Hinata was rather shy, it did mean that she had something of a mental resistance to this kind of stimulation...it seemed her mind would need somewhat more 'convincing' than Temari had taken.
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
Temari sighed and licked one nipple again before moving to just sit by Hinata holding her close against her side letting more of the ooze rub up against Hinata and get into her blood. ??Aww but Hinata kun you just look so sexy and I don ??t want to not touch you. ? She smirked and leaned over looking right into Hinata ??s eyes, ??I mean it is just us girls out here not like anyone would see us or anything. ? She smirked and let her nose brush against Hinata ??s.
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
Apologies for another late response Hinata whimpered slightly, both in response to the situation and the odd feelings rushing through her body. She'd never felt this way before....for some reason she couldn't help feeling more and more aroused with every passing second. "I.....I....I can't T temari san....it's wrong..." It was getting harder and harder to resist, but Hinata's mental blocks against this kind of thing were very strong, even with the combination of the ooze rubbing against her body and Temari looking her right in the eye.
The forbidden scroll (fandom x Kolath)
??Awww Hinata kun you look so sexy and its just so hard to not touch you. ? Temari smirked and moved closer again leaning over and lightly licking Hinata ??s ear. ??It ??s not wrong if you are feeling the same way I am right now Hinata kun. That deep hot burning low down on your body pressing closer and closer to that secret place between your legs. Oooo is yours begging to be rubbed like mine is Hinata kun, mmmm I just can ??t stop myself. ? She moved up out of the water sitting on the edge of the hotspring making sure her cock stayed down as she spread her legs and started to lightly rub her pussy. ??Mmmm god that ??s good, don ??t you want to feel this Hinata kun? ?
Hojo's New Project (daddys little slut & I)
Deep below the fortress like city of Juno, a new kind of project was getting underway in the underwater facility once used to harbor Shinra's submarine forces. Scince the events of Meteor, there has been little need for military force as the entire world is concentrating on rebuilding itself after the disaster. However, secret dealings with Shinra have allowed a certain scientist to continue his work in secret. Work that, if successful, would mean the return of the ever dangerous threat to the world, Sephiroth. The man behind this project? He is noneother than the foremost expert on the subject of the ex SOLDIER, Professor Hojo.Still reeling from his defeat at the hands of Cloud Strife and AVALANCHE, he works in earnest, hopeful that he can bring back the one individual capable of eradicating the rebel faction which essentially caused the destruction of Midgar and the near eradication of Shinra itself. At this moment, the blood father of Sephiroth is in his laboratory, ready to set up another one of his tests in order to fuse the cells of himself with one of the many monsters that he had captured around the world.
Hojo's New Project (daddys little slut & I)
Yuffie, the Self proclaimed Best ninja in Wutai crept through the corridors of Hojo's new lab. She had broken off from cloud and the group for a while to find some cash. She knew shinra still had to have plenty of Gil.The crazy science guy has to have materia somewhere!She thought to herself. Seeing the main lab door and the lights on, she almost skirted past it, but with her typical bad judgement, and no one to stop her, she opened the door, her expression of shock evident as she saw Hojo
Hojo's New Project (daddys little slut & I)
Hojo was busy looking over one of his specimens. As usual, he was mumbling to himself about what he could do with it and how it could be applied to his plans. But nothing prepared him for the surprise he saw when he turned around. There, standing before him was one of the people behind his recent failure to supply Sephiroth with a pure supply of mako energy from the Sister Ray high above Midgar. Already, the machine that was his brain began to spin wonderful plots on what he could do with this one, now that she had appeared before him. But first he had to capture her. A simple task seeing that she was merely a child compared to him."Ah, what a pleasant surprise," the doctor muttered before turning back to his specimen. "I was actually just thinking about you. You really did cause a lot of trouble for me back in Midgar. My son's death was so tragic, but I suppose that's the price you pay for scientific research. Tell me, did you happen to be looking for something?"
Hojo's New Project (daddys little slut & I)
Her ewes went wide when she saw Hojo. "Damn!" she cursed looking at him. "I was planning on stealing your materia actually, and I don't really see sephiroth's death as a tragedy seeing as he wanted to kill everyone, and killed someone i cared about..." she said softly, flipping her shuriken off her back. "I may not be a fighter by trade but i can still beat down a scientist!" she said jumping back into a fighting stance.
Hojo's New Project (daddys little slut & I)
Despite Yuffie's agressive attitude, Hojo seemed unusually calm as they faced off. "Oh dear, we can't have that now, can we?" He muttered out while setting his hands behind his back. "You'll break a lot of important materials if we fight here. But then again..." as he spoke these words, an alarm suddenly went off in the room. While the professor had his hands behind his back, he had clicked a remote alarm signal on his watch. Without warning, a trio of Shin Ra soldiers burst into the room with their guns drawn. As they did, the doctor turned back to the specimen he was looking at and continued to speak in a calm manner. "Don't harm her too much," he said as the soldiers inched forward. "Use your sleeping gas on her if you can."
Hojo's New Project (daddys little slut & I)
Yuffie actually managed to land a few solid slashes, dropping a soldier before the gas grenades brought her down, SHe exahaled the word "Frick." as she began sliding to the floor almost peacefully. She crumpled, eyes closing with a flutter as she lay there... sorry tried to make that as long as i could
Hojo's New Project (daddys little slut & I)
Though Yuffie had made quite a mess out of one of the soldiers, it wasn't long before she was subdued by the others and they were standing over her unconcious body. Hojo slowly approached her and looked for any signs of injury that could affect his plans. Once he was satisfied, he went back to his specimen tube before talking to the soldiers. "Take her to my lab and prepare her. And please, despite how pretty she may look, please try to refrain from molesting her along the way. I want my test subject to be as pure as possible for my new pet."The soldiers nodded and proceeded to carry the unconcious ninja to another one of the professors examination rooms. They proceeded to strip her of her weapons and clothing before setting her upon an X frame and strapping her in. And despite Hojo's earlier warnings, the soldiers couldn't help feeling her up a bit. One of them would squeeze her breasts for a bit and the other would stick a finger between her legs just to feel how tight she was down there. When they were done having their fun, they left to continue their guard duty. It wasn't long after that Hojo entered the room to look over his new test subject.
Hojo's New Project (daddys little slut & I)
Yuffie's head remained lolled to the side, her eyes shut as her perky little breasts were queezed, they were perfect, amazing examples of how good small breasts could be and her tightness? Divine, almost impossible to even get that finger past her lips. Yuffie lay still for a short while and groaned awake just as Hojo entered. She writhed in the X frame, the lab air cold on her exposed skin. "Why the hell am i naked you asshole? and w what are you going to do to me?" she asked,s tarting out angry and yelling but quickly reverting to fear, she was alone, no cloud, no tifa, no one, and without any hope of fighting back.
Hojo's New Project (daddys little slut & I)
"Ah, you're awake my dear ninja," Hojo replied in a stoic manner before going over to a control pannel and flipping the switch, causing the frame that Yuffie was strapped to to move into a containment chamber behind her. As it moved in a slow and teasing manner, the doctor went over to rather large specimen tube that had been dormant in the room for quite some time. It was one of his newer projects, but one that had taken months upon months to complete. He had hoped that all the toil would soon pay off once he woke it up to serve its purpose. He flipped a switch and a light inside went on to reveal a greenish creature that resembled something that was a cross between a human male and a malboro. Each folicle of its hair looked like a tentacle, each with a closed eye attached to it. It's pale green skin looked smooth and muscular and there seemed to be many holes along its arms and legs. If the ninja were wondering about them by the time she spotted it, she would soon find out.Upon the flip of another switch, the fluid that the Malboro man was submerged in slowly drained, leaving the body limp. For several tense moments, Hojo watched and waited for his creation to stir. And when it finally did, a cackle escaped the professors lips. "Yes! Rise! Come to life my child! I have a wonderful gift to give you!" Flipping a switch, he opened the container and removed a syringe from his pocket. It contained a powerful aphrodesiac capable of sending even the tamest of creatures into a sexual frenzy. He injected it into the Malboro man who reacted with a low growl.Before he could experience its full wrath, Hojo quickly closed the container and activated a sequence on another control pannel that would send a claw to pick up the specimen and carry it over to where Yuffie was being held. He followed it, his gaze turning towards the girl, a satisfied smile on his face. "My dear Yuffie, you are going to have the privelage of advancing genetic science as we know it today. You should feel honored!"
Hojo's New Project (daddys little slut & I)
Yuffie's eyes widened in horror as the malboro person was revealed, she shook against her bonds, whimpering, crying even resorting to begging hojo not to let the thing hurt her. The monster advanced, getting closer to the screaming ninja, whatever hojo injected into its arm made the thing pissed and yuffie cursed her luck at this happening. "H hojo please no, i'll do anything, Anything you want!" she screamed, realizing his intentions, he was going to attempt to make her into what he had planned for aerith and red XIII. That sick asshole!
Hojo's New Project (daddys little slut & I)
As Yuffie pleads and begs to be released, the container with the specimen stops and hovers ominously over the container that the girl is in. Hojo goes over to a control panel and lowers the claw so that both containers fit into place like a cap on a bottle. By this time, of course, the Malboro man can sense the presence of a female, its carnal desires overcoming him due to the effects of the aphrodesiac. He wants sex and he wants it now and it responds by pounding on the steel grating below it trying to get down to where the naked ninja is and ravage her body with its own. "Patience my child. You will get what you desire," Hojo states with a grin on his face. With a flick of a switch, the professor opens the bottom platform of the Malboro man's container. Swiftly, it lowers itself to the level where Yuffie is.For a moment, it stands still, taking in the sights and smells of the new container. Then its attention turns to the naked woman strapped to the examination table in front of her. It moves in slowly, hovering over Yuffie, completley oblivious to the shock or fear she is feeling at this point. No, the only thing the Malboro man is concerned about now is his own carnal desires and after a tense moment, it strikes albeit slowly at first. It's hand extends outwards to the girl to feel her supple body. By all accounts, it is a normal human hand, but appearances can be decieving. Before the hand can touch the bound ninja, the skin in the palm opens up and multiple tentacles like that of the Malboro slither and slide out.They begin to crawl along Yuffie's skin, many of them poking, prodding, and stroking her flesh with feather like strokes. They prod her underarms, her sides, her belly and even her feet and toes. It's many eyes blink and its head cocks in a curious manner. It seemed for now, he was intent on feeling out his prey before taking her...
Hojo's New Project (daddys little slut & I)
The small ninja writhed under its touch the slimy tentacles caressing her almost as if the thing was being loving, that or very curious. She shivered and squirmed, staring at the thing in revulsion, knowing it was only a matter of time before it found her breasts or vagina with those probing appendages. She licked her lips nervously, staring up at Hojo, hoping he would show compassion, or at least pity.
Hojo's New Project (daddys little slut & I)
"Ah, fascinating," Hojo blurted suddenly as the Malboro man was exploring Yuffie's nude and bound body. "It looks like my specimen is testing your body to make sure you are a suitable match for him. You should try to enjoy it as much as possible." Just as the professor was saying that, the specemin reached out with its other hand and, much like the other one, another tentacle sprung forth, this time exploring the woman's genitals. The slimy phallus slid into her womanhood and seemed to wiggle around a bit, testing its capacity and sensitivity.While this was happening, the other tentacles exploring Morri's body seemed to concentrate more on her breasts rather than any other part of her body. They wrapped around each breast and began squeezing gently while the tips of the tendrils were playing with her nipples. It almost seemed as if the Malboro man were trying to get his mate aroused rather than test her for compatablility. Something Hojo made sure to take note of in his research. In fact, the professor seemed to be getting aroused himself watching this act of what was essentially sexual abuse.Several minutes passed and the Malboro man's actions seemed to slow a bit. It was as if it were sensing that this young and vulnderable ninja was ready and ripe for the picking. A wide Malboro like grin seemed to spread across the face of the specimen just then and with a swift movement, he was suddenly on top of her in a mount. "Ah, good," the demented doctor spoke out again. "It seems he is finally ready to mate." Hojo grabbed a chair then and took a seat near where the action was so he could get a better view.
Hojo's New Project (daddys little slut & I)
The little ninja writhed and wiggled, screaming angrily and fearfully as it probed her pussy, breaking her hymen and making her begin to cry, she didn't want this to be her first time, trapped in a frame with this thing! Even so it was being almost kind with its abuse, and she couldn't stifle a soft moan as her tender nubile breasts were toyed and squeezed, she stared up at Hojo. "D doctor Hojo?" she asked, showing respect as much as it pained her. "Please don't let it hurt me..." she whimpered. "I can do much more experimentation if I'm kept whole."
Hojo's New Project (daddys little slut & I)
"Oh?" Hojo replied with an interested look on his face. "And what would you be willing to do for me if I agreed to your offer hm? Not that I'm trusting you right away or anything like that." Indeed, the doctor wouldn't trust Yuffie as far as he could throw her, but the possibilites of what he could use her for were just too much of a tease for him to put it aside in his mind. But the Malboro Man was not a creature of reason, nor did it care for the words that came from the ninja's mouth. Breeding was its only goal and it made its intentions quite clear, when with a low growl, it came down before her, retracting all but the tentacles that were stimulating her breasts and slowly inched its penis into her slit. It entered quite smoothly, guided by the feeling which he first had with the tentacle that entered just prior. It seemed to fit tightly and the first thrust brought a sensation of pleasure to the specimen so great that it let out another howl.Hojo watched in earnest the actions the Malboro man was taking and took important notes. There were some complications, he thought, as it didn't immedietley go in for the fornication but rather chose to tease her first. This would be a problem if he sent it after someone much stronger like Tifa. The thrusting of the Malboro was was beginning to become more rapid now as its phallus pumped in and out of Yuffie's vaginal crease, driven by the pleasure created by the tightening muscles of her womanhood and its desire for breeding.
Hojo's New Project (daddys little slut & I)
Yuffie screams as the malboro hit her pussy with its dick, her eyes widening as she continued to cry, she fought uselessly against the frame staring at the maboro man's grinning face in shock as she begged Hojo to make it stop. She was terrified, and knew she had no hope of rescue her trick's would have to wait she would genuinely serve hojo until a chance to escape presented itself or so she thought at first. For now though malboro cock filled her pussy and she couldn't help but feel a bit of pleasure, her moans filled the chamber eventually as she is fucked, each one a little louder then the last.
Hojo's New Project (daddys little slut & I)
As the Malboro man continued to thrust harder and harder on its way to releasing its seed into Yuffie, Hojo began to pace around slightly as the vision of sexual nature before him was causing such an erection, he couldn't sit anymore. Still, he continued to take notes, observations, wondering all the while when his specimen would finally be finished. It didn't take much longer before a loud growl came from the twisted mouth of the Malboro man and he ejaculated into the woman as expected. With a few more thrusts, it was finished at last and slumped off the ninja before scurrying around the chamber for a bit."Ah, you're finally finished. Good," the professor exclamated as he activated the controls to lift the Malboro man back into its own chamber and away from Yuffie. He could see that she was covered in the slime excreted by the tentacles that violated her form and it appeared as if she needed a thurough cleaning. Hojo was so aroused at this point, he thought he might go in there and do it himself so that he could force himself upon his guinnea pig in the process. But before that, he walked up to the container and spoke into it."You have been most gracious in your endeavor my dear. And if you're still willing to go through on that offer of yours, I would be glad to have a new assistant to help me out around the lab. Or would you perhaps like to go another round with my new experiment?"
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Laress paused in her running, the two armed men escorting her pushed her back into a sheltered alcove of the ferrocrete wall behind them. She panted, trying to catch her breath, and pushed the cloak from her head. The leather combat jumpsuit she wore was nearly the same color as her dark skin, and in low light, she could have passed for nude, save for the cloak. At five feet tall, she was shorter than either of her escorts, though that was to be expected since they were or rather had been imported slaves. Now they were rebels, fighting to reach the spaceport on the far side of the city.She ran a narrow boned hand through her damp hair, the silver strands pushed back behind pointed ears. Her yellow eyes surveyed the scene around them with distaste dead bodies littered the square, not a few of them innocent civilians. She could hear the fighting from the quarter they had just left, and an explosion split the night as one of the rebellion planted traps went off. She just hoped all of this was worth it."Princess," one of the men began, but she cut him off with a wave of her hand. "I know. I'm ready." They ran onwards, cutting across side streets, through alleys, and, in one case, through an empty building that heavy weapons fire had already torn a hole through. They paused again a half a kilometer from the space port, and after a brief rest were nearly ready to move on when one of the guards suddenly grabbed her and slung her to one side. An instant later, a mechanical combat droid, shaped like an ancient spider from mythology, tackled the man, sinking poisoned metal fangs the size of daggers into his chest. He screamed and began to thrash, while the other escort helped her to her feet, shoved her in the direction of the spaceport and yelled "Run!" before turning back to open fire on the droid with the machine gun her was carrying. The heavy stuttering of the gun followed her as she pelted down the alley, losing herself in darkness.She reached the space port, out of breath, sweating, and weeping for the destruction around her, but alive. Slipping through the maintenance grate a sympathizer had left unsecured, she made her way to the docking pads, and found pad eighty three. She rapped on the door in prearranged signal tap tap tap pause tap tap tap pause tap tap tap, and hoped to the Goddess they would open before some curious security guard came to investigate the noise.

Project DarkstarDraylyn sighed as she checked the load on her blaster once more as she frowned, finding it full, the weapon was slapped back into a holster on the feline woman's shapely hip. Waiting had left her restless, and the sound of gunfire not far off increasing her caged feeling. She stepped away from the wall to begin pacing. A long slender tail, white striped in black swaying behind her.Most of her race, the Felarn, still lived on worlds that the UAW still deemed to low tech to be of use. And as such, they lived lives in their insular lives oblivious to the happenings in the galaxy at large. The Drow didn't have such compunctions, and low tech worlds were perfect pickings for slave stock. 20 years ago, she and her family had been such slaves.The delivery was late, and she was beginning to wonder if a Slaver unit was gathering to assault her ship. There wasn't much of a crew, just the three of them... but being wanted in several systems increased their value. This deal with the Drow rebellion, the so called Daughters of Elistrae, was sketchy at best."Cap'n..." The voice came over the comm clipped to her upturned ear, startling the caged tigress. "I think we may have a problem. The interplanetary propaganda... err... news, just released that the rebellion has kidnapped the First Daughter. Fifty credits says I know what'precious cargo' translates into in Drow.""What did you see Cera?" Already a white furred hand began to move toward her blaster once more. The two women has served together in the fleet before embarking on a much more profitable smuggling career, and Dray knew her navigator's insight was more than intuition. The implants had given the elven woman visions."We're in for a bumpy ride..." was all she said as Dray's ears perked toward the door of the landing bay.

With one hand on her blaster as she approached the door to tap the opening code into the security panel.The door slid open quickly, and Dray tensed, ready to leap away should her fears prove true. Finding only a single figure surprised her however. Easily a foot taller than the Elven woman, her hand tensed further on the grip of her blaster. Draylyn had little love for the dark Elven race, in fact her feelings could easily be described as hatred.Her empty hand thrust outward, palm open, still hoping that Cera was wrong, though seeing the woman standing there in the flesh she almost knew that hope was futile. "You have something for me?" Her voice was low, barely more than a growl as she tried to check her rage.

Project DarkstarLaress paused at the growling feline. She hadn't been told whom to expect, only that a ship was waiting to take her off world, and into UAW space. Regarding the woman towering over her with obvious curiosity, she considered the question, and then slipped through the doorway after checking that the hallway was once more clear. The door slid closed automatically behind her, having sensed her passage, and she looked quizzically at the woman who was obviously the leader of the group."My escorts will be unable to join us. I suggest we depart in rather a hurry. The fighting is spreading faster than I had anticipated, I expect it won't be long before they close the space port completely. We should be in orbit before that happens. In fact, it would be better if we left right now."As if to echo her sentiments, the room shook slightly as they heard the distantcrumpof an exploding artillery shell. Laress turned, her cloak lifting slightly behind her, and began to make her way towards the waiting ship. "I'm sure they're already spreading the news of my 'abduction' and everyone in the city will soon be looking for me."

Project DarkstarOn first glance she'd thought the woman was naked, the poor lighting in the Drow facility only helping to heighten that illusion to those races that still needed light on the darkened worlds. Draylyn's hand tightened on the grip of her pistol once more as the woman stepped into the room, closer...It was hard to fight back the snarl that rose to her lips, even moreso at the imperious tone in her voice as she swept past. Even in her hatred of the woman, even with the growing dread realization, it was hard not to admire the woman's form beneath that painted on leather bodysuit.The engine of the ship was already beginning to warm up at their approach, a ship that appeared to be a Jlerellian merchant ship. Of Drow design, and their easiest disguise to make it here into the heart of the empire."The announcement went out just before you arrived, and as much as I've fantasized about kidnapping you for a good portion of my life..." It was all she got out before something slammed into the door of the docking port. Dray's blaster was in her hand as she spun back toward the door, blasting the control pannel for the door. The door froze only a few inches open as several legs of a spider drone tried clawing their way in."Vith!" After all these years it was still the first language she swore in. "Cera, let's get out of here!" Dray spun on her heel, roughly grabbing the princess' arm as she sprinted for the open cargo bay of the ship. A ship that had begun lifting off from the docking pad as the door began to close. Behind them, the sounds of hundreds of legs chipping their way up the ferrocrete walls could be heard.
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarLaress knew what had happened the second the docking bay door had clanged. As Dray charged at her, she turned, a grenade pistol in her hand, already firing at the door as She was practically yanked off her feet. The first shot was on target, and the magnesium grenade slagged the door, frame, and one of the drones legs into an unrecognizable puddle of molten metal. The rest of the shots went wild, one of them fragging the door controls, the rest punching fist sized craters into the ferrocrete, which caught on fire under the intense heat from the grenades.As they ran up the ramp into the ship, she unclipped a communicator from her belt, spoke into it in drow for a half a second, and tossed it back out the ramp just before it closed. "We have about ten seconds before this docking port is reduced to rubble. I suggest we put them to good use."As the ship angled sharply upwards, and the engines thrummed to full life, Laress found herself grabbing hold of the tiger, quite literally, by the tail to keep her feet. As they leveled off, she let go with an embarrassed smile, "Sorry. Now, what were you saying about kidnapping me?"Below them, the artillery strike she had called in reached its target, and the docking port collapsed under the hail of fire and explosive shells.

Project DarkstarCera heard the Princess' warning and the ship was already moving as the loading bay door hissed shut. Instinctively her hand reached for the cargo net to keep her balance, a startled screech ripping from her throat as the woman pulled on her tail.As the ship leveled off upon entering orbit, she spun on the Drow woman with a snarl. Snatching her tail away. "I meant exactly what I said First Daughter..." The title spat from her lips. "If it wasnt for my deal with the UAW...""Cap'n" Cera's voice interjected, this time through the ships comms. "We're being hailed... They intend on boarding.""Stall them love." Swearng once more as she turned toward the only corridor exiting the cargo bay. Hips encased in skin tight leather pants swaying as she headed down the hall, her tail flicking irratably behind her. She ignored the princess until they reached midship where the corridor broke off.As she headed one way, toward an open turret, she pointed down the opposite hall toward another. "I sure hope you can shoot princess..."
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarLaress had followed the tigress up the corridor, and took a moment to admire the sway of her hips in the tight leather. The question drew her back to their immediate situation, and she nodded once to affirm that she could, in fact, shoot. She'd been trained, it was expected of all nobility to serve at least two years in the navy. She trotted down the corridor and scanned the turret controls.Fairly standard, she mused, and slid into the leather couch, pulling the straps tight over her shoulders and flicking the switches to bring the console to life. Speaking into the general ship comms system, she said, "If your pilot can hear me, fly at heading one four eight mark three nine. We captured a battery in that area earlier this morning it should help cover our escape."In the meantime, she flipped the safeties off the firing studs, spun the turret around, and start pumping giga joules of raw energy into the nearest boarding craft. The shots caught it right in front of the engine nacelle, and the entire ship went up like a firework, flames and debris falling back towards the planet's surface. She had told the designers that was a weak spot, but would they listen? No, of course not.She felt the ship banking, though if it was in the direction she had indicated she had no idea. A shot hit them with aspangof ringing metal and she ducked her head instinctively, before returning fire at the ground emplacement where it originated. "They are really, really pissed," she muttered to no one in particular.

Project Darkstar"Oh, I can hear and see you just fine... at all times..." Cera's distinctly elven voice came back over the comms, the threat in her tone was undisguised."Cera, just give her an open line to let them know we're comming in hot!" Dray barked the order as she flipped safety off her own turret and spun into position after watching the princess strap herself in down the corridor. Her own heavy blaster scoring a line down the center of another craft. The changing pressure on the hull as it arced up out of the atmosphere causing the ship to crumple before exploding in another dazzling display.And suddenly they were diving back toward the surface. Draylyn saw them even as her screen lit up like a holiday festival. Fighter drones streaming out of the ruins of the docking port. She spun her turret to begin blasting away, clearing a debris filled hole straight through to the captured gun battery."When you bottom out, map the city... target the palace, and prepare for warp on my mark.""Cap'n!" Was the only reply she recieved as the elven woman began feeding the information into the ships computer. It was obvious what the Felarn woman intended, and there was a good chance the capital would be wiped away if they went into warp while still in the atmosphere.

Project DarkstarLaress was firing for all she was worth, and the captured battery opened up as they screamed over it. But when she heard the captain's orders, she jerked, as if slapped, and smacked the release on her restraints, diving back for the hallway, and pelting through the unfamiliar ship towards the control room."You can't do that! Those people are down there fighting so we can escape you'll kill them all."She got turned around, and ended up in the ship's common area, but she found her bearings quickly enough. She reached the control room just as the ship bottomed out of it's dive, and pulled her grenade pistol out again, ready to blast the door open. "I mean it. Don't do this."She lost her footing when the ship lurched to one side, and went tumbling back down the hall, the pistol shooting out of her hand as she scrambled to recover it, and her balance.
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarBy the time they passed the battery most of the drones had been destroyed, the others locked onto the new threat that was wreaking the greater toll on the craft. The other turret had silenced, and Dray spun around in time to see the dark elven beauty stalking off down the hall.She could hear the nearly horrified tone in the woman's voice, and as much as she wanted to laugh, she couldn't. Even she knew the death toll that would cause if this were any other ship.In the control room, she could see the city sweeping by at an alarming pace, the palace dead ahead. A beautiful young elven woman sat in the captain's chair, wires running from the consoles normally run by three different people all connected to the left side of her head which was shaved clean of her bobbed red hair. Tattoos traced around the electronics that connected to her flesh, dominated by a large pulsating psi crystal.Big blue eyes turned toward the Drow woman in shock as a mental shout went out to the captain, warning her. The ship banked sharply, throwing the princess off balance. Righting on course once more to spill her down the hall.Dray had already begun to follow the First Daughter, but when she heard Cera's distress she bolted down the corridor. She lived on the ship, usually in conditions just as this, and as the ship banked... her steps adjusted to keep from faltering.The grenade pistol was kicked further down the corridor as she came to stop in front of the Drow woman, scrambling to regain her balance. One powerful hand lashed out to push her back against the corridor wall, right against her her chest. Though the light fur of her fingers, and the claws they held could easily be felt against the flesh of her throat.

Project DarkstarMika came out of her cabin just in time to see the captain run by, and grabbed hold of the wall as she felt the ship pitch sharply. Strong fingers dug into the foam padding on the edge of the door and she looked out in time to see the captain pinning a drow woman to the wall."What the bleedin' 'ell is going on out 'ere? I thought we was jus' 'ere to pick up a package Cap'n? 'ow'd that lil blighter get on board?"Mika came out into the hallway, her dark blue eyes fixed blearily on the struggling drow who was now screaming something about death tolls and catastropic. Mika was large, even for a half orc, and she pretty much filled the hallway, but an engineer needed some bulk to deal with reluctant components she was pretty good in a brawl too. Dressed in a jumpsuit, she looked like she had just woken up her black hair was still tangled not that brushing it made it look any better, and her feet were bare."You wan' me to jus pitch this un out the lock, Cap'n?"Laress didn't notice the half orc right away, she was too busy trying to convince the captain not to destroy the entire city below. "Captain, please. Those men and women down there are fighting for you, and for this ship. You can't just...you can't just destroy them. Isn't that why you people hate us drow so much?"She hated begging, but those men and women were fighting, and dying because she had asked them to. They had started a battle they had never had a chance in Hell of winning because she had convinced them how much was at stake. She turned her bright yellow eyes from the half orc coming up the hall back to the tigress that had her pinned, swallowed, and said, "Don't do this."

Project DarkstarAs the smaller woman struggled, Dray just pushed. Pinning her back in place once more as her fingers flexed, those claws teasing at the tender flesh of the Drow woman's throat. One ear flicked back toward the sound of Mika'a approach, a smile rising to her lips at the suggestion... In a way, it was already a part of the plan."Glad to see you're finally awake... The princess here, is the package..." Her free hand reached over to tap a console as the door behind the Drow woman slid open on a spacious, and rather well appointed room. Something about the dimensions of the interior of this ship didn't match with the outside.With another push, she thrust the smaller woman into her room as she looked back at the Orcish woman. "Make sure the party favors are ready... and please strap yourself in this time. It's gonna be a vertical drop right before we warp."Her head snapped back to the woman ranting about saving the few rebels that might survive the day as that snarl returned to her lips. "I'm going to have a little talk with our guest about protocol..." Pushing one final time as she stepped into the room herself, the door hissing shut behind her.
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarLaress finally stopped struggling when she realized it was doing her no good, but the look she gave the captain was pure venom. Anger seethed through her, but she lost her balance when the captain shoved her through the door into another and stumbled before righting herself and backing away, stripping off her cloak and tossing it aside. She had a black bladed quortek vel strapped to her left hip one of the fabled soul knives of the drow.She hadn't drawn it yet, but she stood in the middle of the room her hip cocked out to one side, hands crossed just under her small breasts, her face hard and angry.As the door hissed shut, Mika could hear the little drow spitting "And what is it you'd like to teach me,Captain?"Mike just laughed, and shook her head. The little oddling would learn pretty quickly how things ran on this ship. When Dray said jump, you didn't bother asking how high, you just jumped, and hoped it was high enough. She picked up a comset, and plugged the ear piece into her ear, thumbing the mic. "Cera, 'ow you treatin' ma baby? You better not break 'er, I only jus' patched 'at nummer two up last week."Mika's grasp of galactic common wasn't the best, but she could usually make herself understood. And, to be honest, her grasp of every other language was worse, so the captain and Cera just made the best of it. She checked the packages the Captain was interested in, all the readouts were in the green, and then she made her way back to engineering, and started running checks through the rest of the ship. The weapon systems were running hot again, and the shield generators were straining to keep up with the incoming fire, but Mika had over engineered the critical systems, so they had a comfortable margin still."Cera, m'sweet, we're as ready as we're a gonna be." Heeding the Captain's advice, she strapped herself into a chair at the console, and thumbed open the microphone in the captain's com panel. There were some advantages to being the ship's engineer, after all.

Project DarkstarDrays hand lashed out once more, backhanding the arrogant Drow woman across the face . She'd seen the blade and was ready for it, it's why her claws were drawn in the first place. "If you ever draw another weapon onmyship, it will be your last...""Your baby is just fine you big softy" Cera's voice chirped in the engineer's ear even as the reserve engines began winding up. Once the package dropped they were gonna need all the speed they could to escape the blast from this height. "Hold on tight!"Outside the window of her quarters, Dray watched the palace race by behind the dark elven woman, when suddenly the world turned on it's end. Ready for it, she dropped to the new floor as the ship turned vertical and launched for orbit.Behind them, from the cargo bay came a shower home made impact charges. Raining down upon the palace. As the first one hit home upon one of the crystaline domes, it exploded, igniting a chain reaction that brought a raging firestorm down upon the royal palace.The tigress caught the Drow woman as she too tumbled in the wake of the sudden change of the ships orientation, calling out "Now!" as the First daughter fell into her arms. The scenery outside shifting to the familiar scintilating colors of a wormhole.Expecting to fall once more, she was nearly pleasantly surprised that the artificial gravity hadn't kicked in. She and the Drow woman began floating across her quarters.
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarThe backhard from the larger woman sent Laress reeling across the floor, a floor which quite suddenly became a wall and sent the still dizzy drow plummeting downward to land on the larger woman with a thump. Her head hit the wall floor and she blacked out for a minute. When she came to, she was floating across the room, wrapped up against the Captain, with her head lolling about against her shoulder.Mika gave a yell of excitement as the ship pitched nose up and shot into the artificial wormhole, riding out the sudden changes in pitch strapped to her chair, but she immediately knew something was wrong when a pen went floating past her left ear and bumped gently against the console. Cursing a blue streak, she launched herself from her chair and wrenched open a panel. Reaching inside, she gave one of the delicate looking components a rap with her knuckles. Something clicked, and she dropped lightly to her feet.Laress and the captain, it transpired, were not quite as lucky. When the gravity kicked back in, they went plummeting floorward in a tangle of arms and legs, one of Laress' thighs landing squarely against Dray's mound, ground there by the gravity which briefly shot up to twice normal, and then dropped off altogether.In the engineering area, Mika gave another curse as she smelled burnt wiring. It seemed the artificial gravity control system had finally given her it's final "Fuck you." and packed in completely.

Project DarkstarWith a grunt as she landed on the floor amidst a tangle of arms and legs. A spray of the sweetest smelling silver hair splayed out across her face. With another grunt as the thankfully light elven woman landed atop her.Gritting her teeth to try and hold back a slight groan as the woman's thigh ground against her mound. Dray tried to sit up, the hyper gravitational pull making it difficult to get out from under her nearly unconscious package.That was of course until the system failed entirely, the force of her push launching them both out into the open air of the spacious room once more. Dray pulled the princess close with one hand before she slammed into another wall, using her free hand to break their 'fall' This time however it was the captain that came to rest 'atop' the Drow woman in her arms, as they pressed against the wall briefly before floating away once more.Something in her features had softened, though by only a fraction. "You don't even remember me... do you?" She didn't expect a positive answer, Drow rarely remembered their slaves the moment they were out of sight... and it had been nearly thirty years.

Project DarkstarLaress grunted as the tigress broke their fall, but they still hit the wall hard enough to feel the weight of the other woman pressed firmly against her. She smelled a soft, earthy scent probably some kind of soap, and felt the woman's strong arm wrapped around her to keep her from splatting head first into the wall as they gravity bounced them around like a child's ball. Oddly, she felt safe there, even though the other woman had just used her head for a punching bag.When they finally came to 'rest' floating delicately in midair, Laress lifted her head from where it had been squeezed against Dray's right breast, and asked, "Why the hell would I remember you?" She was obviously still upset about the smack understandably so, since she was bleeding from the left side of her mouth.She saw the captain about to say something else and then squeaked as they both fell out of the air again with a thud, coming to a halt with Dray propped over her like a lover, staring up into the tigress' wide blue eyes. In the distance they could both hear Mika shouting, "That's got it sorted!"

Project DarkstarOnce... all those years ago her entire life had been the First Daughter. As a young kitten she'd been a gift to the royal family from one of the colonial governors. Her breed, normally orange with black stripes, occasionally produced a superb specimin that was white. She had been that prize. And for a few years the princess had been delighted with her pet.The raid had come while the princess was away serving time with the Drow fleet, while she had been sent off to toil away in a labor camp forgotten. Once, she had been devoted to every little whim of the woman in her arms...Dray braced herself against the fall, oddly not wanting to actually land on the Princess as those loving memories surfaced. Dray railed against them, pushing herself up from the floor in an attempt to untangle herself from the dark elven woman."I thought as much..." The captain stood, streaching as she towered over the woman on the floor. She reached up to tap the comms link clipped to her ear. "Good job you two... in 3 days time our records will be cleared..." She didnt even wait for their responses as she pulled the clip off and tossed the link down onto the table beside her bed.
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarLaress looked up at the woman as she towered over her, stretching. She shook her head and clambered to her feet, "What the hell was that supposed to mean? Have we met before?"She had once owned a slave of Dray's breed, but that had been years ago, and she had died in a slave revolt. She'd been furious with her mother for sending the woman away while she had been in the navy. But by the time she had returned, the damage was done and Erthe, as she had called her pet, was gone. She had grieved for a time, but that had been before she had joined the rebels. Her life, since then, had been a battle one they were losing.She unhooked her belt she wasn't going to use the knife, and it was obvious they both had no illusions about that and tossed it onto the same table as Dray's communicator, before she crossed her arms again, the same defiant posture that she had held before her previous smack in the mouth. "What do you mean?" she repeated. "Did you know my Erthe?"
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarEven as the question left her lips, that name ringing in her ears which perked toward the woman as if she'd been called from across the room. Dray's hand shot out once more to tangle in the Princess silvery locks as she stepped closer. One claw hovering inches from the smaller woman's nose as she pointed a finger in her face."Dont you dare use that name!" She nearly screamed at the woman in fluent Drow. Her slave name, even she didnt remember the one she'd been born with. Dray had spent so many years trying to just forget, and now the UAW had to go and drop the First Daughter right in her lap.
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarLaress snarled, and her temper rising, she reached up and slapped the pointed, clawed finger out of her face with an angry swat of her hand. "I will use it at any time I choose,Captain. She was my only friend growing up the only person I could trust. Do not presume to forbid me don't you dare. Contract or no contract, I'll strangle you to death with your own intestines."She wrenched her head away, ignoring the pain in her scalp as some of her hair pulled loose and stormed across the room to the window. Staring out as the eerily beautiful kaleidoscope that was the wormhole, she did her best to temporarily forget the woman standing behind her and calm down. After a moment, she said, "It would be best, I think, for both of us, not to mention the structural integrity of your vessel, if you simply showed me where I will be sleeping during the journey. I will do my best to remain out of the way of you and your crew."

Project Darkstar"Thatishow you people treat your slaves after all... Humiliation, torture, and death..." She glared after the woman as she pulled away, watching as she stared out the window and tried to calm."Feel priveleged Princess... you get to use the captains quarters. Unless of course you'd rather I prepare the holding cell? I'll be in the cockpit..." She didnt remember, it wasnt worth the fight... or all the memories it would evoke.Turning, the door hissed open at her approach. Glancing back over her shoulder once more she muttered. "Most of the slaves not only survived that raid, but enlisted in the UAW navy the following day..." The door hissed shut on the tail end of her statement, Dray punched a button on the console beside it, locking it tight.
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarLaress looked back as the Captain's final words registered. No, no she shook her head, it was impossible. Erthe was gone, dead in that raid. Killed by the very people she was now trying to save. Her mother had told her. Not believing, she had gone and surveyed the wreckage herself. She had seen the bodies, smelled the decay her heart had died that day or perhaps it had been born. In any case, her eyes had been opened.But still...there was something about this Captain Draylyn. Something familiar. She looked around the cabin, and found what she was looking for a computer console. She expected the security to be tight, but what she wanted wouldn't be under lock and key it would be public records after all, all she needed was an open channel, and a bit of time.Laress' speciality in the navy had been counter intelligence specifically intrusion detection and prevention. One of the first lessons her instructors had taught her was to catch a hacker, you had to first be a hacker. It took her perhaps five minutes to route the necessary commands through an unsecured portion of the ships computer the section reserved for the management of the ships waste reclamation system. Laress grinned as she began hunting through birth and death records. She had, after all, graduated at the top of her class.An hour later, she had found what she had been looking for. Like any entity that depended on taxation, both the Drow Empire and the UAW kept meticulous birth and death records. The Empire even recorded them for slaves since it taxed their sale and ownership like any other property. Erthe had died in that raid, but only to be reborn, it seemed at least if the tentative time line she'd managed to piece together was right.She tripped open the general comms, which would broadcast out of every speaker on the ship. That was almost easier than breathing. Steeling herself, she recited the litany that she had taught her slave all those years ago."And will you love me? For always. And will you keep me? Forever. And will you protect me? From everything."She clicked the channel closed, and stood up to face the door. This was going to be, in her assessment, very ugly.

Project DarkstarDraylyn stalked her way to the command center, the door hissing open at her approach. She frowned, it meant that Cera was watching now that they were safe. Touching the console in front of the elven woman to close down the cameras throughout the ship. She then keyed up the comms for the engine room."I love you Mike... but if there is any way you can get us to Arvandyr a day faster... I will do anything your big heart desires" Her wide blue eyes turned toward the woman that ran most of the ship, reaching up as she began to unplug the cords on her head."You my love, are going to bed..." Placing a finger against her lips to silence the protest that was comming."Cap "Pulling the second cord out as she leaned down to kiss the lovely young elven woman on the forehead. "You sat here for two days while we waited for..." A snarl curling her lips as her eyes darted toward the door."Cap'n she's hacked through... Well, she's trying to hack UAW central records... As well as Imperial" Reaching up to plug that second cable back in once more, a slight shiver running up her spine as it slid into place. "Should I cut ""No, she needs to know..." Tapping the console brought up a screen in the air in front of her chair. Turning back to look at the elven woman she'd always considered tiny... before Laress walked back into her life.Know what? The question died on Cera's lips as Dray pulled the plug once more, quickly followed by the third and final. She smacked the girl on the rear, pushing her toward the door as she sank into her command chair.She had begun to doze off, alone in the quiet amidst the scintilating kalidescope of colors outside the windows. Idly watching the Princess progress at tracking down the answers she needed. As those words echoed throughout the ship her eyes snapped open instantly.A growl ripped from her throat as she sprinted from the room, mashing the button on the console to open her cabin door. The enraged Felarn Stormed into the room, her hand already drawn back for another backhand."You push me to far..."

Project DarkstarMika grunted at the captain's request. She could push the engines, that much was true, and they'd spend the day they saved on the trip sitting in a dock rebuilding them. In the end, she tweaked some of the power outputs, and rerouted a few things, and estiamted they would shave six hours off the journey. It would have to do.She met Cera coming down the hallway and recognized the same bemused look on her face that Mika knew she herself was wearing. "Cera? Whatddya reckon?" She nodded significantly in the direction of the control center where Dray was now seated in solitude. Moments later, they both heard the drow woman's voice on the open channel, and looked at each other, eyes wide. There was a sudden feeling of impending doom.Laress didn't flinch back from the upraised hand this time. She stood her ground, come what may. She said, simply, "I looked for you. I went to that planet, and I crawled through the dead, looking for you. I just thought you should know that."
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarCera smiled seeing Mike in the hall, wrapping her arms around the half orc's waist... as far as they could anyhow, and laying her head against the larger woman's chest. "I think the Cap'n knows her..."It was all she got out before that melodic voice came out over the comms. It was almost hypnotic, the mantra she spoke. Cera's eyes widened as she saw the captain burst from the control room, headed for her own. Pushing a bit, though she knew she could never move the woman as she tried to get Mike back down the hall a bit, out of sight.Touching a pannel brought the cameras back online in her mind's eye, as her free hand reached up to touch Mike's cheek to share the image with her oft' time lover.The first blow fell even as the first sentence left the woman's lips, rocking her head to the side. Only to be followed by another, this one harder knocking the woman back. She just wanted her to shut up, and if that meant three days unconscious, Dray was more than happy to oblige.Her hands closed on the smaller woman's throat, pushing, intent on pushing her back against the wall. Had she been thinking clearly, she would have realized the bed was in the way before Laress tripped over the edge, spilling them onto it in another tangle of limbs.Dray struggled to right herself, sitting up to straddle the smaller woman. Though her hands never left the dark elf's throat, she didnt squeeze. Starring down at the captive woman, her eyes bright... with tears."You died the day you sent me to that hell hole..."
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarLaress' head snapped back at the first strike but she kept on talking until she had said her peace. The second blow hurt worse, but she took it all the same. She could alreday feel her left eye swelling closed as they fell backwards onto the bed, but she didn't try and fight the Felarn off of her. She merely reached up and, seemingly quite out of place given the current context, scratched her under the chin. It had been Erthe's favorite spot to be scratched, and despite the Captain's obvious views on the matter, Laress did remember."I never sent you anywhere. My mother...well, you know how she is. I didn't even know you were gone until I got back from my tour. By then it was..." she trailed off, and closed her eyes. "They told me you died. Showed me a body. Probably thought I would get some foolish idea of chasing after you. It would seem," she said, opening her eyes again, "that the Universe is not without a sense of irony."Mika watched all of this through Cera's mind, her eyes growing steadily wider, and she looked down at Cera seeing her own surprise mirrored on the elven woman's face. "Didju know that 'bout the Cap'n?" She could see the answer before she finished the question, and taking Cera by one arm, she ducked sideways into her own cabin. If the captain came exploding back into the hallway this pissed off, they should probably be somewhere else.

Project DarkstarIt was hard to erase something that had been a part of her life since nearly birth, Dray's back arching from that nearly innocent scratching of her chin. Her neck straining as she leaned into the woman's long absent touch, a purr beginning to rumble deep in her chest as her eyes closed on unshed tears.As a kitten she'd never understood how or why those caresses excited her the way they did, why the First Daughter's touch always sent a tingle straight between her thighs. It was hard to put away what had been a wonderful life...As the First Daughter's favorite pet she'd been privelidged among the slaves. Raised to serve the Princess, she had something akin to freedom that most of the others only dreamed of. She ate well, was bathed often, and was quite well taken care of. All at the First Daughter's whim... The happier Laress was, the more freedoms Erthe had enjoyed.Had the woman not continued talking, and let those happy memories settle in, things may well have turned out differently in the next moment.Draylyn's eyes snapped open to glare at the woman under her once more. "You left me to your mother devices... knowing Lloth's will. The way you prized me over all others..." Her lips pulling back in a snarl as her fingers began to tighten on her elegant throat. "I was a prime offering for sacrifice, but I was far too valuable as breeding stock..."Growling loudly as she pushed herself back from the bed, standing quickly and backing away as she saw Laress' eyes begin to darken. As many times as she'd drempt of killing the First Daughter over the years, she just couldnt bring herself to do it."Our lives have been built on a mountain of lies... and it might be safer for you, if you refrain from speaking of a dead girl."**Cera's surprise wasnt absolute, but she was still shocked at the turn of events. She'd known the Captain had been a slave before joining the fleet. She obviously didnt know who the Captain had belonged to.As Mika pulled them both back into her own cabin, her connection to the pannel fizzled out and the image they shared disappeared. The slight elven woman slumped against the engineer in exhaustion. "This is gonna be a long trip..."

Project DarkstarLaress snarled as the tigress rose, and launched herself up from the bed, propelling her small form directly at Draylyn. One small fist connected solidly with the side of her head, and while she didn't have the weight or the raw strength of the Felarn, at this point she didn't care. Three decades of grief, misery, and loss came tumbling out like water over a ruptured dam."And what," she practically screamed the words, "was I supposed to do? It's not like she asked my permission to take you. She's the fucking Empress." She threw another punch, and connected mostly with shoulder before she let herself drop back to the floor. She was crying, and she hated crying some things from her upbringing she couldn't shake, and a loathing of tears was one of them. Drow children who cried were punished until they learned to hide the emotion, and, as in all other things, Laress had been a quick study.She picked up the nearest object she could lay her hands on some small ornament from the table beside the bed, and threw it at Draylyn as hard as she could. She missed, the tears half blinding her, and the object slammed into the wall with a dull thunk. Her next words were audible to Mika and Cera even without the audio pickups. "Damn you! You were the only person I ever loved!"**Huddling in their cabin down the hall some, Mika looked at Cera, and shook her head, "For th' record, luv, if you eva disappear for thirty bleedin' years without leavin' a note, I'll break your fool neck."
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project Darkstar"Love!" The feline woman screeched. She had truly expected more fight out of the princess, but after that first blow barely caused her whiskers to twitch, she must have realized the futility. She'd spent a lifetime honing her body to physical perfection, and the UAW had further honed her into the perfect weapon."I was a pet..." Reaching down she grasped a heavy handful of the First Daughter's silvery locks, hauling the woman to her feet. "...a favored ornament. Your kind dont know the first thing about love!"Dragging Laress to the door, it opened at her approach. Her voice carried just as easily to the other two as she made her way down the hall toward the cargo bay. "Dont you even dare try to tell me that this whole rebellion is because mommy killed your favorite pet while you were away. I dont buy it."Here in the docking bay the life support was minimal. Sure, there was enough air to breathe, but that was about it. It was nearly freezing and the lighting was minimal while not in use. She stopped by a recess in the wall with a small panel beside it."I think you need to learn just what I went through..."
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarLaress screeched like a cat as she was, essentially, dragged by her hair down the hallway. When she saw where they were going, she did indeed begin to fight she had notions of being pitched headfirst into space. The result was that by the time Draylyn had finished her little speech, Laressripped her head free, losing enough hair that her scalp started to bleed, and sank her small flat teeth straight into Draylyn's arm.In the grand scheme of things it was probably the surprise of being bitten more than any real damage the bit may have caused, but Draylyn paused for a fraction of a second, and Laress backed away from her."Your death opened my eyes, Erthe. I didn't start the rebellion because of you, but it showed me why it was necessary." In truth she didn't want to hurt the other woman, though a small part of her centered in her now bleeding scalp wanted to yank her tail again, just to hear her screech. she opened her mouth again, but never got to talk, because at that moment, she was lifted clean off the floor by an, in her eyes, enormous orcish woman with beady eyes and, truth be told, severe difficulties in the language.**Mika had had enough. If they wanted to shout at each other that was one thing, but when they started hammering up and down the corridors in her baby, things had gone on just about long enough. Setting Cera gently to one side, she walked out into the hallway, picked up massive wrench from the toolkit she normally wore around her waist and walked after the arguing pair. They weren't exactly hard to sneak up on, even for her.She reached down, and grabbed the drow woman by the scruff of the neck, hoisting her into the air and holding her out at arm's length, and glared at the pair of them. "Wha you two do in the privacy of yur own cabin is yur own lookout. But damage my baby, and I'll skin ya both." Mika normally didn't challenge the ways thing ran on the ship. Draylyn was captain, and that was all she really needed to know. But this had gone on long enough, and they were racing closer and closer to the drop off point with who knows what kind of force chasing after them. They needed their captain thinking clearly.

Project DarkstarDray snatched her hand away in surprise. More than once had she been beaten for the exact same think. Laress in a bad mood draging her away by the hair... and she'd bitten. The only difference being, she'd drawn blood when she did it... but that damn collar always paralyzed her a moment later.Her eyes grew wide at the memory, thankful of Mike's sudden presence as she pointed toward the holding cell that she had been about to introduce the princess to."I was just about to end it Mike..."
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarMika nodded and tossed the drow into the cell hard enough to daze her she slumped unconscious to the floor. When Dray turned to close the door however, she found Mika barring her way to the panel. The look in her eyes was inscrutable, but there was a determination around them that told Draylyn that this would end in a fight with the brawny engineer. And the wrench in Mika's hand told Draylyn she was ready for it."Sorry Cap'n, but until ya two sort this out yur no' fit to command this ship. Mebbe huddlin' together for warmth for a day er so'll bring the two of ya to yer senses."She took a step or two closer to Draylyn, her massive fist tightening on the wrench handle. "I'd prefer it if ya walked in, Cap'n. But I'll drag ya if ya make me." She heard Cera running up the hallway behind her but she ignored the elf, for now. Cera wouldn't interfere, probably, and Mika couldn't afford to take her eyes off the captain long enough to explain it.
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarCera wanted nothing more than to sleep, that had been her intention as Mike set her aside and she flopped back on the large plush bed they shared. But the voices echoing down the hall through the open doorways wouldnt let her drift away.Staggering to her feet, and down the hall. Slender arms wrapping around her body, shivering from the chill air comming from the open cargo bay. She had no intention of trying to get in the way, in fact, she was quite eager to see Mika wrestle the Captain into the holding cell."This is mutiny!" Even as Draylyn said the words, she knew the Orcish engineer was right. She needed to calm down. But if they were locked in that cell together, she feared that the package might not arrive...Her arms spread wide as she eyes the large wrench warrily. She been rational, she would have drawn her blaster and reduced the cudgel to molten slag. "Just close the cell and let it be Mike..." There was a hint of a warning growl in her voice.
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarMika shook her head, firmly. Draylyn had only seen that firm set on Mika's jaw once before, and that had been trying to wrestle a 400 pound drunk off of Cera at a bar. That poor sap had ended up in the med unit with four broken ribs, a fractured skull, and one of his feet pointed the wrong way."Cap'n, call it whateva makes ya sleep better, but either ya go in willin' or ya go in unconscious. The choice be yurs I suggest ya make it while it still beyurchoice."Laress had started to come around, though she was blinking a bit watery eyed and she didn't really seem to know where she was.
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarEven if she went for her blaster now, Dray knew it would be batted away by that heavy wrench. As well as a broken arm to go with it. Her hands were palm down now, still spread wide as she tried to circle slowly away from the open cell."I'm not going in there Mike... I may not like the condition either of us end up in, but I'm not going in there..." Her legs tensing as she prepared to pounce, it was a dead giveaway as that shapely leather encased rear began it's familiar little wiggle.
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarMika sighed heavily, and waded forward, lifting the wrench. When Dray shifted her attention to follow it, she cold cocked the captain with her empty hand. It sounded horrible, worse than it really was probably, like a side of beef getting smacked by a hover car, and Dray's head snapped sideways like it was on springs. She growled, loud and rushed Mika, swinging one heavy balled fist for the engineer's midsection.Cera bit down on her knuckles and watched, huddling back against the console with the door locks on it, waiting. Mika grabbed hold of the Captain, dropping her wrench in the process, and the wrestled back and forth snarling and yelling at each other. laress woke up fully, watching the struggle, but couldn't see any way past them out of the room. She scooted as far back as she could, slipping into the shadows the dim lighting provided.In the end, the fight was as short as it was brutal. Draylyn used her claws to open up a gash on one of Mika's arms and the pain sent the orcish woman into a towering rage. She bull rushed the captain at that point, lowering her shoulder and catching her just under the breasts, lifting her right up off the floor. When they reached the door, Dray didn't duck in time and smacked her head on the frame, then found herself battered, bleeding from a cut lip, and laying on the cold floor as Mika deliberately closed the door.Mika looked back through the little window in the cargo door and keyed the mic so they could hear her. "I'll let what's left of ya out in twenty four hours. Kill each other or don' but when you come out, ya better be civilized, or the next place I put ya will be outside on the hull." Reaching over, she disabled the interior panel to keep them from leaving, and then killed the mic.She looked at Cera, one side of her head starting to swell and her arm bleeding profusely. "Ow."As the two left the doorway, Laress padded out of her concealment and squatted down just outside of Draylyn's reach. "You never did know when to back down."
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarDazed, and barely conscious she just stared up at the cieling. Not even seeing the Drow woman at first. She'd gone easy on Mike, she'd had to. Without seriously hurting the Half Orcish woman there was no way she could have gotten away.Groaning as a hand rose to her head which was throbbing where it had connected with both the bulkhead door, and then the floor as she was dropped."I never..." She winced as the words seemed to echo through her skull. Rolling onto her side as she clutched her head.**Had she more energy, Cera would have lept into the towering behemoth's arms. As it were though, a simple bandage was needed. The slender elven woman began to shimmy out of her shirt, realizing that a simple strip of cloth wouldnt work for the gashes the captain had left on the woman's brawny arm.Binding the wound until she was more awake to properly treat it, she smiled up at Mika. "That was hot babe..."
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarLaress sighed, and looked around. There was some tarps nearby, and she dragged one of them over, balling it up and lifting Erthe's head high enough to wedge it underneath. At least that would be some relief. That done, she paced around their impromptu prison some, rubbing her arms with her hands. The cargo bay was kept above freezing, but not much there was no point trying to heat such a large open space just so the crates of machinery could feel good.Eventually, she didn't have a choice, she returned to the captain, still laying on her side, and, trying not to disturb her, she curled up against her back, absently stroking her fur. She thought back, all those years ago, her mind drifting as the warmth helped. Her head was pounding, and she tried to tug a section of the tarp far enough down that she could use it as a pillow.Eventually, she drifted off, still curled up behind the captain, and dreamed of happier days, long ago, a the pet she'd loved, and lost.**Mika just let Cera bind up the cuts on her arm, her eyes firmly fixed on the slender elf's now exposed breasts. "Ya know, i's a good thing yur no' a medic. No one would eva get anything done." She used her good arm to chivvy the elf up the corridor towards the cabin, giving her a smack on the ass to get her moving. "If ya weren't dead on yur feet, I'd work off the rush with ya for a couple hours, but yud probably fall asleep and crush m' ego."Still, Mika had to admit to herself, the elf girl did make quite a figure in her tight pants and no top. Maybe she could find a way to keep her up a while.
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarCera giggled as that firm swat lifted her up off her feet a moment. Holding up an injector she'd pulled from a pouch on her belt. The stimulant inside was illegal on most systems as it had a habit of keeping people up for days if not used in moderation."I'm tha closest thing we have to a medic love... ever since the Cap'n scared off Gloria..." She held the injector to her arm, looking up at the engineer almost questioningly as her thumb hovered over the button. There was a sparkle in her eyes that normally faded in her exhaustion.**Still dazed, her head throbbing. A semblance of comfort comming over her body as Laress curled up against her back. Dray drifted off into a fitful slumber, plagued with dreams of the tortures she endured after the First Daughter went off for her tour of duty in the Imperial Navy.
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarMika shook her hed and took the injector from Cera, much as she didn't want to. "Ya need sleep. Yur the cap'n til that lot sort out whatever this mess is between 'em. Got ta have yur wits about ya."She picke dup the elf girl in her strong arms and carried her to the bed, laying her down, surprisingly delicately considering her strength. "But when we get paid for this, I'm takin' ya on one of those cruises where everythin's delivered, and you can lounge 'round naked all day if ya want." She grinned, and kissed Cera firmly, before tucking her into their shared cabin bed, tumbling in beside her."Shame 'bout Gloria too. Cap'n was really sweet on her..." she trailed off and cuddled Cera closer. Damn but it had been a long day.**Laress woke, stiff, cramped, and with a headache that felt like one of Lloth's own demon handmaidens was inside her skull trying to get out. She nuzzled her face against Erthe's back, letting the fur tickle her nose, and listened to the lungs under the fur drawing air in, and pushing it back out. She could hear the strong steady thump of her heart, and Laress sighed.She supposed she could have tried harder to have Erthe assigned to her ship. Her mother had said no, and Laress had never really bothered to question it. People who enjoyed having their heads still attached to their shoulders generally didn't question the Empress. it didn't matter much, she was an outlaw now. Her little sister would be named First Daughter, and she would be il talanth, an Unspeakable. Saying her name aloud anywhere in the Empire would now be a capital crime, punishable by death.She needed to use the bathroom, but she didn't really want to sit up. Erthe's back was warm, and the room was still cold as ice. She wondered if the other two would bring them food at some point, or if they'd spend the day hungry as well as cold.
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarIn her exhaustion Cera had drifted off the moment her head had come into contact with the bunk. A lazy smile on her lips as her tiny body curled against her Orcish lover. The large woman's rumbling snores were oddly comforting, vibrating the entire bed.Even exhausted however, it was only a matter of hours before her eyes snapped back open. Bleary as she rubbed them, Mike's words comming back to her as she rolled over to kiss the still sleeping half Orc on the cheek before slipping from the bed. She was the captain now... at least for the rest of the day.Not that it really mattered, Mike would probably sleep until shortly before the time to release the Captain. And, well, the captain and the package were firmly secured. Cera slipped out of the room to let her love sleep as she made her way to what passed as a mess hall. In reality it was really just storage for their rations.Popping open a self heating can of Jolt and setting it aside as she gathered up a few things for the prisoners. Knowing what Dray liked for breakfast, the elven woman began heating up two servings. She added a generous pinch of an herb from a sealed pouch on her belt.With just the three of them on the ship, comfortable with each other as they were. Clothing or the lack of had never been an issue on the ship. Which is why she never even thought about her missing shirt binding Mike's wounds until the cargo bay doors opened and she was hit with a blast of freezing air.Shivering a bit as she carried the tray over to the holding cell, standing up on her toes to get a peek inside. Seeing movement from the First Daughter she called out. "I've got food, an' Imma open tha door... Dont try anything funny. I can fry your brain before you even take a step..."So often the tiny elven woman tried to sound threatening, failing miserably with her girlish little voice and an accent that showed how much time she spent with the Orcish engineer. The door slid open as Cera carried the tray of steaming food inside, unashamed by her partial nudity.**Her sleep had been restless, locked in nightmares long forgotten. Startled at the sound of the door opened, her eyes snapped opened. They were coming again! Draylyn sat up instantly reaching for the blaster Mike had relieved her of upon dropping her in here. Regretting it instantly as her head spun, the back throbbing once more where it had connected with the doorway.She groaned, fighting back a wave of nausea. Without even realizing it, she rolled over to burry her face in Laress' neck. Grumbling something about the Orc woman's parentage."Glad ta see yer still alive Highness..." The redheaded elven woman smiled a bit as she knelt to set the try down. "Some o' us need the pardon we're getting for this job..." Her eyes moved over both women's forms as several lights blinked amidst the electroncis on the side of her head. After a moment she nodded, a somewhat glassy look receding from her left eye."Well, it looks as if y'all both survive..."
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarLaress squinted her eyes as the hallway door opened, and scooched back a little further against Draylyn. She could smell the food though, and her stomach rumbled. She looked the elf woman over, her eyes momentarily caught by the lack of anything that even vaguely resembled a top, but she neither spoke nor moved towards the woman. She merely nodded her head slightly in thanks for the food, while she absently cradled Draylyn's bruised head, stroking her between her ears.However, as Cera began backing away, Laress simply couldn't hold her tongue any longer. "Apparently, it's a bit chillier in here than I had thought." She meant it as a joke, though she wasn't sure the aggravated tone in her voice carried it off as one.When the woman had left, Laress pulled the food closer, and inspected it. Felarn ready packs, by the look of it heavy on meat, low on thorough cooking. She examined the slightly bloody meat, and then tested it with a finger. At least it was warm. She poked Draylyn lightly in the ribs, vaguely wondering if she was still ticklish. "Wake up sleepyhead. They brought lunch."
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarCera glanced down at her bare breasts, her nipples rock hard in the chill air of the cargo bay. Blushing a bit as she looked back up at the First Daughter and grinned before looking down at the captain."Well, she was gonna leave ya in here nekked..." Winking at the princess before she retreated back out the door to let it seal once more with a hiss.Dray groaned as the elven woman retreated. Upon hearing her voice she'd thought it had been Cera beside her, her brain still fuzzy from the blow to the back of her head. But as they both spoke she realized her mistake.Slipping from Laress' embrace as she sat up, a bit too quickly. Holding her head as she scooted back against one of the shipping crates. Her fur had her at an advantage, cutting out the worst of the cold. And she knew that had she managed to leave Laress in here as intended, there wouldnt have been much fight left in the frozen woman.The smell of the food was setting her stomach rumbling, but she could also smell something else... it had been seasoned with catnip. Pulling her blaster from it's hloster, she adjusted the beam setting, motioning to the tray."If you behave, and bring that here... I'll see what I can do about warming it up for you..."
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarLaress eyed the blaster warily but the invitation was rather too tempting to refuse. The meat really was too chilly and, frankly, bloody for her. She picked up both trays and brought them, careful not to move too quickly. She knelt, quietly, and set both trays on the ground, letting Draylyn choose the one she wanted. "Thank you," was all she said.Finally, as the captain flash warmed one of the trays with a shot from the blaster, Laress asked, "Would you have really left me in here naked? Do you hate me that much?"
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarDray simply grunted in reply to her thanks as she played the broadened beam over the steak to flash cook it, shivering a bit as the scent of the 'catnip' caught her once more.As much as she needed the false energy from the drug, she didnt need the other effects. The Elves of the UAW were trying to get the powerful aphrodisiac outlawed, but smugglers could make a fortune on the fringe worlds.She saw what Cera was trying to do..."Hate you? Is that what you'd call it? The entire time you owned me, the only clothing I wore was my collar..." Dray snorted as she glared once more at the Princess kneeling before her. "I told you when I dragged you down here... I was gonna give you a taste of what my life was like..."
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarPulling her own tray towards her, she asked, quietly, "Does that mean you're going to put a collar on me as well, Erthe? You never know, you might enjoy having a pet of your own." She sounded slightly mocking, but she was getting cold again, and she scooted a bit closer tot he larger woman, hoping to keep the worst of the chill away."I tried to have you moved to my ship, when I left." She had no idea why she was bothering to try and explain herself. It was obvious the woman didn't care to hear the explanations, but...it pained her, very deeply, that Erthe disliked her so much. Her people, she could understand there were times Laress hated them herself, but they were, after all her people, and, she hoped, not beyond redemption. But it was upsetting to know that she personally was held in such low regard. "The truth be told, I didn't want you left behind. Didn't want you sent in with the general slaves. I suppose I cared for you too much but you were the only person in the entire palace I could trust."Perhaps it was to be expected. The sins of the matron were often visited upon the house, as the saying went. And when your house was the Imperial House, your sins received a lot more scrutiny than normal. She picked at her food, not really hungry, but she finally took a bite, sighing softly as she chewed the meat.
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project Darkstar"I told you Laress... I had dreams of kidnapping you one day. And if the collar had been handy, you would have been wearring it before getting on my ship." Grumbling a bit as she pulled her own tray closer, watching as the Drow woman began eating."I had every intention of keeping you as a pet... then this deal with the Royal Fleet fell in my lap, and so did you." She began poking at the steak with one claw.
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project Darkstar"Don't let your contract with the Fleet stop you. It's the information I have they want, not me. Once I've turned it over to them, I'll be homeless. I can't live in UAW space of I won't be able to, once they know what's happening, and I certainly can't go back home. Not now."She bit into her steak again, rather more viciously than she'd intended to, and growled softly. "But it is, I suppose, a small price to pay."She glanced sideways at the larger woman, "I might find it refreshing to know that there was somewhere I could go when this was done with."
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarOne brow arching as her head snapped up to stare at the Drow woman, her words sinking in as a hint of a grin began to curl the corners of her lips. Dray started to chuckle a bit, watching the First Daughter tear into her meal almost barbarically."Are you offering yourself Laress?"
Project Darkstar (Closed)
Project DarkstarShe looked back at Draylyn, though in her mind she would always be Erthe, and gave her a challenging look. "I'm offering you the opportunity. If you can claim me, you can have me. Get a collar around my throat without resorting to deceit or drugs, and I'll surrender myself to you."She arched a brow, "Unless I'm too much for you to handle, of course." She knew the challenge would goad the other woman into action she had known Erthe for years, and she knew how she thought, at least to some extent. The hunt would thrill her, and perhaps it may sate some of her anger.
That is not dead which can eternal lie (Ele & Qedesha)
"That is not dead, which can eternal lie. Yet with strange aeons, even death may die" Abdul Alhazred, NecronomiconVillatella was one of those postcard villages that tourist agents used to get you to book expensive trips to places you would never normally go. It was buried deep in the mountains on the Italian side of the border with France, and was home to perhaps three hundred souls. The cemeteries in Nice, across the border in France, had more residents.Doctor Louis Bovier, from the Universite de Nice Sophia Antipolis, in Nice had brought his graduate students here to study the local legends and do some digging in the mountains. A professor of history and mythology, with a strong fascination in the occult, Doctor Bovier was tracking down some particular legends that dated back to the time of the Inquisition. Apparently, Villatella had been quite a focal point for a particular priest intent on, as the stories went, eradicating the most infectious of evils.The spring morning had given way to a humid and warm afternoon, and the noise of the students talking as they worked filled the air around the dig. Doctor Bovier had sent one of his more promising students, a shy young woman studying abroad from America, to investigate a cave one of the local townsfolk had sworn was where the priest in the stories had died.
That is not dead which can eternal lie (Ele & Qedesha)
Rain Maire O'Dell. Five foot nine, curvy, dark red hair, piercing blue eyes, a dusting of freckles across a pale face and dark, full lips that had drawn more than a few ultimately disappointed boys. History had always drawn her, the adventures of the past a difficult opponent to compete with. If she was honest she'd have to admit that there was something else missing from her liaisons, a desire that she couldn't put her finger on... so to speak. Thus she was launched into the world on that eternal American quest, to 'find herself'. The tradition was to seek oneself in Europe, hence her vicious battle to claw her way into the grant that sent her abroad, to study with the rather odd but prestigious Doctor.The path had, ultimately, led to this rather surprising cave. Surprising in that it wasn't dank and wet and spooky, like her imagination had populated it, but rather dull in its dryness and, in the face of her powerful electric lantern, lacking in frightening shadows. Despite the rather prosaic surroundings the young, healthily male local she'd managed to find to do the heavy lifting was nervous, muttering under his breath in his local dialect while eyeing the walls.The dark patch on the wall right at the back of the cave had drawn her eye. There had been a cave in here, mounded rubble covered with the dust of centuries, smoothed despite the still air... but next to it was a strangely coloured area of the wall. She tapped her torch against it, intrigued by the crunch as the stone simply crumbled, then hit a little harder. To her not inconsiderable shock a large chunk of the stone wall simply dropped away, crumbling as it fell with a loud clatter to leave a hole a good two feet wide. Her companion, as surprised as her, muttered a few words that she pretended not to know were rather crude swearwords.The muttering turned into what was, from the cadence, probably a prayer to the local saints as they peered through the hole."Now that is what I'm talking about," she said as she eyed the contents of the cave. More dust, probably from the roof, covered mounds of objects in the gloom, surrounding a large stone sarcophagus like box in the center."Ricky, you better call the oth... Ricky?"She turned, startled to find that the young man had vanished at speed. She shrugged, eyeing the ceiling and the rock fall cautiously, then eased her way through the hole.
That is not dead which can eternal lie (Ele & Qedesha)
It was cooler in the concealed chamber, and the room was decorated not so much as a burial chamber but more as a sitting room. The furniture, as near as Rain could tell was, indeed, authentic to the period the doctor was interested in, and while the room was dominated by the sarcophagus, a pair of chairs fronted what was obviously a fireplace, though the chimney seemed to have collapsed in the rock slide that had drawn Rain to the doorway.Pounding feet announced the appearance of the good doctor and some of the other students. Apparently Ricky had alerted someone to her discovery, even if he hadn't deigned to return with the rest."Excellent Rain! Excellent," the doctor's eyes gleamed in the light of her torch, and he took a few pictures, especially around the sarcophagus, before detailing to her the task of cataloging the contents of the room and detailing exactly what had been found. Another student began laboriously recreating the runes carved into the sarcophagus, which seemed to predate the middle ages based on their shapes.The afternoon passed into early evening with the work making the day pass quite quickly, from the subjective point of view. When the team finally broke for dinner, several of the smaller artifacts had been removed from the room for further study and dating, and work lights had been erected around the sarcophagus.After dinner, the doctor bored a small hole in the lid of the sarcophagus using a tools to preserve the interior contents and inserted a camera on a flexible metal tube. As the images resolved from the tiny lens, it was not the priest's body that was revealed, but the startlingly well preserved body of a woman. Her skin bore the remnants of great beauty, though it was dessicated and drawn tightly from the centuries spent buried in this cave. Rain could only suppose that the seal on the cave had kept the room dry enough to mummify her instead of allowing her body to rot away.The doctor finally called a halt at shortly past ten pm, and sent the bleary eyed students off to find their beds, jabbering away at their discovery. Papers would undoubtedly be written, and some of them would perhaps be able to build them into careers.

Rain went to bed confused. She'd ranted to the others around the dinner table, their confusion matching hers."Roman coins. Jugs from the city states. Remnants of dyes from the silk road. The crown of a Capetian king, for god's sake! Who was this guy, a medieval archaeologist? A grave robber with exotic taste and amazing luck? If it wasn't for how old that rock fall obviously was I'd swear someone was playing a joke on us. Tomorrow I'm checking the back of the cave for sliding walls."The others just chuckled, used to the flares of her typical red haired temperament... in the rare occasions it got out of her cowl of shy sweetness. She went to bed, still muttering, angered by inability to interpret the unusual grave. The strange layout was also very weird... the evident structure of the room as a home, rather than a tomb, the rather functional layout of the items, the very weird and out of place sarcophagus. She realised she should probably be excited, that the oddness was the sign of amazing discoveries to be made... but she was just unsettled, feeling that something was out of place. That, she assumed, probably explained the dreams.Fire, and blood... always, during the disjointed sequences, the background of copper taste, warm slick richness, and a burning hunger. The hunger was dulled as a woman appeared, tempered by a longing that spoke of desire, and lust, and a form of love, and then anguish as fire rose. The hunger flared as it was fed by a desire for vengeance, a fury that coloured the dreams... and then again a longing for a different face, sadness at an ending, darkness of depression, the hunger again, and another face and another dream of betrayal and fury.She rolled in her bed, sweating into the sheets, moaning into the quiet night as the dreams ravaged her mind. Laughter, and fine wines ignored for the desire of a pulsating vein. Drowsy company, and the taste of blood. Cold streets, and warmth filling her mouth from a soft figure clutched in her arms. Piles of coins, and the body of a medieval prostitute collapsed on top of them. The smells of life and death and lust and fear and always, always the blood, and the hunger. She felt the longing, and the pull, and the desire...And then suddenly pain. She was in darkness, and her shins hurt. She was cold, and equally cold stone pressed against her hands and knees. She vaguely remembered crawling through the hole into the cave as if it was the most normal thing in the world, and then the slip and fall that grazed her, and now she was awake and staring into the darkness in panic.Fumbling hands found one of the cables leading to the dig lights, turning it on, flinching as the bright light filled the cave.

Annemarie had awoken and stared at the tiny hole in the lid of her sarcophagus not quite understanding what it was, only that from beyond it she could smell the tantalizing aroma of humans blood, sweat, flesh. Aromas she had not smelled in centuries flooded into her awareness as she struggled to make muscles that had long since atrophied respond to her commands.It was well past midnight when she finally freed herself from the confines on her tomb, the lid of the sarcophagus tossed carelessly to one side, the dig lights knocked askew as she stumbled towards the smells of life the scent of prey lured her onward. She slipped into one of the tents and stood there, an emaciated zombie with dead white hair and burning red eyes, and as the need to feed herself overcame her she fell on those within it with a primal, yet utterly silent, growl.It was hours later, nearly dawn in fact when she returned to her tomb, her skin restored to a youthful luster, her hair as black as it had been in life, and her green eyes once more the color of emeralds. She was standing in front of an ancient polished silver mirror regarding her reflection in the little bit of light that reflected into the cave from outside, when she heard the mortal coming. She turned, watching the young woman crawl inside, heard the gasp as she fell, and the fumbling for the lights in the darkness.She tilted her head, curiously, as she watched the girl in the darkness, and when the lights flared to life, Annemarie's first, irrational thought, was how very lovely the young woman was. Her second thought was a scent, the lingering smell of the woman had been on the doorway to her tomb. So this, then, was the one who had found her."I should thank you, I suppose," she said. The rags she had been wearing while buried had fallen away from her as she fed, and her nude form moved with the grace of her kind, silent footsteps on cold stone as she circled between the woman and the doorway, preventing her from leaving. "Thank you for finding me. What year is it?"

"Holy fuck on a windmill!"Rain, only just managed to regain her feet, fell over backwards, knocking over several items from the top of an ancient half rotted container. Fortunately, for the archeologist corner of her soul, none broke. A trembling finger pointed at the sudden naked woman."Who the fuck are you?! What the fuck is going on?! Holy shit I need to calm down."She rested her head in trembling hands for a moment, willing her heart to slow down and taking several deep breaths.Part of her mind had made several key notes of just how attractive the woman was, in a rather gothic sense. The unsettling grace was another notable characteristic, made by the part of her mind that wasn't sinking in an adrenaline surge. It was cold... the thin nightie, complete with humorous picture of grouchy bunny with cup of coffee, wasn't much protection and her skimpy panties... one of her few sensual secrets... didn't help at all.Finally some panicking neurons made some connections, and she stared from the open sarcophagus to the woman."Oh no," she said, "I'm not falling for that. This is a joke, right? This whole thing has been a joke?"

Annemarie tilted her head the other way, much like a cat presented with an interesting treat it hadn't quite decided whether or not to pounce on yet. She waited for the mortal's initial shock to subside and ignored her initial exclamations of surprise. Once she had seemed to calm enough to begin uttering rational statements, Annemarie addressed her again."What year is this?" She really needed to know what the outside world was like now before she went and ventured too far from her safe surroundings, and judging by the unusual clothes and the hard metal torches that blazed with an unwavering light next to the young woman, she had been asleep far longer than she had intended.As the girl looked towards the sarcophagus, Annemarie crossed the space between them, so that when she looked back, she was no more than an arm's length away. She lifted the girl back to her feet as easily as if she were a child, and shook her once, careful not to break her. At least, not yet. Annemarie needed her, for now."Final chance. Tell me what year it is."

Rain started backwards as the woman was suddenly in front of her, the vampire as quick as a snake and silent as a cat. The strength in her grip, the ease with which the not that small woman was lifted, was also frightening."Twenty ten!" she said hurriedly as she was shaken, struggling futilely... it was like an industrial crane was holding her, yet gently enough to not bruise her arms."W... what are you?" she finally ventured. It was obvious that this wasn't actually a joke. What it was was less clear... nothing that was happening was making sense in her still not quite awake brain, quite aside from the remnants of the shock.

Annemarie set the woman back on her feet. She could smell her fear, and the smell made her hungry again, but she had to think. Twenty ten, she had said. Two thousand ten."Six hundred years..." She looked askance at the electric lights on the floor, their glare casting the lines of her face into sharp relief. "What are those things?" That question seemed almost rhetorical because she plowed on immediately into her next observation, "It will be dawn soon. I need clothes. You will get them for me, and some for yourself. We need to leave this place. You have a carriage or some transportation?"She had, thus far, ignored Rain's question, focused instead on gathering information information she was going to need to survive.

The beauty and grace of the woman was almost hypnotic... but even that was subsumed by the sheer terror of the frighteningly surreal situation. The prosaic orders snapped her into some sense of reality."What's going on? Who are you? What do you mean six hundred years?"Perhaps demanding answers wasn't the best approach. Rain was an intelligent woman, and one who'd come to rely on her deductive reasoning, and the reality of her senses. Supernaturally strong, six hundred years, in a box in a cave, concerned about the dawn... the reasoning was obvious for anyone who'd read a vampire novel or seen a suitable movie.On the other hand, reason had to deal with a lifetime's assurance that the things that went bump in the night were just the trees and the wind. Even in the world's current harsh climate she was unusually practical and not superstitious.

Annemarie paused at the questions, her attention finally diverted from her more immediate concern to the reality of the young woman standing there in naught but a flimsy top and a pair of scant panties. The look she gave Rain was, for lack of a better term, predatory a wolf regarding a rabbit in those few moments before the race for survival began."My name," she said finally, " is Annemarie Benoit. As you have no doubt already deduced, given the state of barely suppressed panic in your voice, I am a vampire a Kindred, if you wish to use the proper term. I was buried in this tomb in 1417 by an overzealous priest with more luck than actual faith in the almighty."She smiled then, and her voice dropped into a silky purr that was calculated to both seduce and reassure. "Do not worry yourself as I said, I owe you my thanks. Without you, who knows how many more centuries I would have slept." She had crossed the room while she spoke, and when she was close enough, lifted a hand to brush her fingertips against Rain's cheek. Her skin was cooler than a person's might be, but only marginally. "I'll have to think of a way to thank you properly at some point. But for now, we really do need to get away from here. You will help me, yes?"

The predatory look did very little to aid Rain in calming down... at least at the level of her conscious mind. On the other hand it distinctly spoke to something in her subconscious, nudging a core part of her being that responded to the overtones of possession and control. A small flame flared into life deep in her mind.The flame was flared by the seductive voice, sending off little psychological sparks that opened doors into her desires. She couldn't help leaning away from the hand as it neared, as if it held a burning coal, but she finally leaned into the touch. The strength of personality of any vampire was overpowering, and of Annemarie's kind even more so, and it flattened Rain's objections like a steamroller. She simply nodded, unable to speak.It was like hypnosis at a very personal level. She suddenly found herself stumbling back through the dig campsite, the cold air beaten back by the fire of purpose... and something more... deep within her. In retrospect she should have been more aware of the silence of the camp, the dark stillness that spoke of more than natural sleep, but she just crashed into her own tent, gathered up every scrap of clothing she could find, and then rolled the whole lot up in her sheet and lugged it back to the cave like a rather erotic Santa Claus.
