[color=royalblue]Boys: Kennan and Laurence. Why? They're just....different. I don't meet many Kennan people and I have met only one Laurence in my lifetime. Girls: Trance and Iris. Why? I love Trance music in general, and think it's a cool name to boot. Iris because it's my absolutely favorite flower.[/color]

[COLOR=royalblue]Yuffie: I'll admit something right now....I want to rip your eyeballs out ONE BY ONE! [i]Sephiroth stared. Her eyes were becoming silver, body shivering with power, gripping her weapon so hard blood flowed. Dymencia laughed, then was cut off. Yuffie charged her, swipping her body with a long series of cuts. One right after the other, a blood letting fest. Yuffie rolled out of range, panting heavily, covered in blood that was not her own. Auron gave her a glance.[/i] Auron: ....amazing really. Didn't think you'd ever get that mad. Yuffie: ...that makes two of us. Sephiroth: I suppose I'll get used to it. [i]The female ninja wiped the liquid from her body and looked at Dymencia's shuddering form. Apparently, they were going to be hacking away at her for a very long time.[/i][/COLOR]

[color=royalblue]Well, judging by that principal, I will live an exciting and wild life full of beautiful people and money. In bed. Lucky me. And it's true. In China anyways, the fortune cookies are a tad morbid. "You will confront a problem that will lead to your demise, should you chose wrong."[/color]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Yuffie grinned and leaned against herself, arms crossed easily, eyes half shut. The bleeding demon girl was doubled up in pain, obviously feeling more than usual. The female ninja spun the shuriken on her fingertip, then hurled it, before Auron could react. The blade caught her directly in the shoulder, severing a bone, rendering her left arm useless. That, and an added Contain spell....really took it to the max. She was partialy petrified, not helped much by the shuriken that she couldn't remove. As she reached out to touch it, spiderlike threads grew from it's tips, sinking themselves into her flesh. Yuffie grinned and waved her fingers delicately.[/i] Sephiroth: ...that's a new trick. Yuffie: I picked it up from an old friend. [i]The crimson warrior smiled. She didn't kill her....good. Save the fun for Squall. The ninja grinned again and backflipped lazily, legs moving slower than was possible, but still landing perfectly.[/i] Dymecia: .....impudent... Yuffie: Annoying brat. Yes, I've heard that before.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Yuffie dismissed Leviathin and walked over to Auron. She brought her magic shuriken up over her head, then down in front of her face. Instantly, blue orbs of light surrounded them, healing instantly. He felt his wound vanish, and his mind become.... "Clear Tranquil." He blinked, and Yuffie pulled him to his feet. Steadying him, handing him his sword.[/i] Yuffie: Easy. Auron: I'm fine. Yuffie: Of course you are. So is Sephiroth for that matter. [i]She pointed and he blinked again. Sephiroth and that bîtch staring down eachother behind the hilts of their blades. Yuffie selected one of her smaller shurikens and flicked it between her fingers.[/i] Rikku: What are you ...? Yuffie: I could get her right between the eyes now....but Squall and Sephiroth would never forgive me....[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She stood up and walked out the door. Dria and Juu followed, locking it behind them carefully. They drove to the nearest passable grocery store, Albertsons, and got the basics. Milk, coffee, bread, cheese, various fruits, chicken, steak, fresh veggies, and several frozen dishes. And lots of pasta. And dry mix sauces. They paid for everything with the credit card supported by their family. And then went home again. "Click." "Beep." "You have one new message." Dria flicked it and the tape played it back.[/i] "Girls. I'll see you tonight. Remember to bring along your dear little sister, if she doesn't have much homework." [i]Juu paled slightly, but Luyii put her arm around her shoulders comfortingly. She smiled gently.[/i] "Don't be upset....we'll take care of you." "I know...but he scares me." "I think we can handle him. Eh Luyii?" "Discretion is the better part of valor. But I'm bringing my knife." [i]She laid out her heels, navy blue dress, beaded with irridescent lines, and her nylons. This was going to be formal in the extreme....but worth it all.[/i][/COLOR]

[color=royalblue]"Romance Me" Give it all, Sell it all, Break it all, I lost it all in trade for you. Leave it all, Gain it all, Leave again, I'll come running back to you. I would give it all away, To make you happy, I can't see the day the night, Romances me. Light it all, Drink it all, Watch it all, Live it all away with you. Dream it all, Build it all, Cry it all, Love it all the way with you. We could give it all away, But still be happy. Lose the night, Lose the day, And run away. Till you say, Romance me, Dance around the room. By the Meeker twins[/color]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Vial in hand, she walked into her own private chambers and surveyed the ceremonial clothes she had had laid out. Long black robes, with red lining, complete with the Megelani crest. She put them on without aid, fastening the sash and tieing it down in a perfect knot. Then she turned to her vanity table and started with her hair. Rhain showed up and assisted her very well. Brushing and combing, and inserting the silver pins where necessary. She put on the heavy iron circlet for the evening and slipped the vial into her long sleeve. Ariel was dressed in a simple white gown and ushered into the Sanctuary. Vondeux was waiting for her, vial in hand, standing at the top of the stairs. At the foot was a large pool. Full of ice cold water, and reflecting the high ceiling. Ariel walked into the water as instructed, and Vondeux stepped down. She walked across the water and knelt in front of Ariel. She undid the stopper and poured the unicorn's blood over Ariel's forehead. Silver washing over her, like mercury, pouring down, washing her. Then she turned and walked back up the stairs and sat down on her throne. Everything was still, and Ariel looked up at the ceiling. The water became warm suddenly, and she stopped shivering. Then she fell backwards, into the water. Hearing nothing but her heartbeat. "Where am I...?" Nothing answered her but the sound of her heartbeat....again. Then she felt, rather than saw, something open insider her. A seal in her mind, unblocked. And she leapt up, body begining to mature, hair far longer....trailing down to the water below. The water was cold again. The unicorn's blood had vanished.[/i][/COLOR]

[color=royalblue]None of us would tell you this was against the rules. We grieve your loss with you, although at times it means very little. I wish you the best, as you deserve it. Live life free, and come back some day. When you're ready. I would call, but I barely know you and it would simply be awkward. Good times to you. Raiha.[/color]

[COLOR=royalblue]Rena: I seriously doubt that's possible. Xouzin: ... [i]Both of them had reverted to humanoid form. She tried to turn to get ahead of him, and he accomidated. Sadly, their forms were too large to allow it and they ended up becoming closer together. The last thing she told herself she wanted. Only his scent was bothering her. She liked it. Mentally slapping herself, she kept moving. They they reached a corner and an impass. He wouldn't yield, and she refused as well. Only one cure. Her pheremones in the air, were sweet and cloying, quite unlike the scent she had let him taste earlier. Her eyes drew him in, and before either of them had clicked with reality, they were kissing. Her hands around his neck, his on her back, quite uncaring who discovered them. She drew away, drawing in the air.[/i] Rena: ...damn.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]Vondeux: I need wards set up around the perimeter, the type that react to strong magic, particularly the demon variety. [i]He raised an eyebrow but voiced no comment. She opened the side pannel on her armrest and brought out two vials. One she handed to him, the other she opened on her side table. He smelled something sickly sweet, and grew slightly faintheaded.[/i] Vondeux: Unicorn blood. We'll be using it tonight. Ceremony. Xouzin: What ceremony Val'Shagress? Vondeux: Ariel will be blossoming tonight, and next week she will be at the party. As will the elite of our city. Xouzin: Tight security then. I'll alert the guards. Vondeux: Tell them to modify their aurmor. It's not just demons I'm bothered by. Xouzin: ...anything else? Vondeux: Tell Ariel to meet me in the Sanctuary at 9 tonight. That will be all. Dismissed. Xouzin: Yes Val'Shagress. [i]She smiled at him. Which was rare, and he left quietly.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]When she awoke, she knew that Luyii was already up and about with Juu. Both of them were out on the spacious balconey, doing their tai chi. She knew why they did it, and didn't mind much. As long as she had remembered to put the kettle on, which she had. Dria got up and put on jeans and a blouse. No need for formalities until this evening. Party. Oh joy. Oh happiness. She stepped into the main rooms and poured herself the tea Luyii had remembered. Then two more for the girls and started breakfast. Eggs, toast, and plenty of strawberry jam. Health first. While they towled off and got dressed, she poured the juice and started peeling the apples.[/i] Luyii: Good morning Dria. Everything go well last night? Dria: As well as can be expected. Usuall thrill of the hunt y'know. Juu: Sounds dangerous. Luyii: Of course. Dangerous is our buisness. [i]She smiled and drank her tea thoughtfully. Reflecting on the events of the night before, and the day ahead. Grocery shopping, then to the library for more books. Correspondence school was definetly working for both her and Juu. Then off to the party this evening. If all went well. Juu would have to stay home alone, unless she wanted to come, which was unlikely.[/i][/COLOR]

[color=royalblue][i]She steeled her nerves, which wasn't too hard, and adjusted her scarf. Beren put his arm around her, and she willed the blush in her cheeks to go away. The passed through the borders without so much as a batted eyelid. They knew who Beren was. Tall dark male that wore black leather and carried a sword. And a delicate female that looked like nothing more than a dancer and a sex object. He led her through the roadways, and she hoped she didn't attract any more stares. This was getting to be annoying. But to be expected. She was wearing see through silk and gauze. And her scarf was another dead givewaway....[/i] Beren: Afraid missie? Vastus: No. Not now. Beren: We're nearly there. Prepare yourself. Vastus: .....anything to remember that's vital to my health? Beren: Don't offend anyone. You're a slave. End of story. [i]She showed very little emotion, when she felt like crying.[/i][/color]

[COLOR=royalblue]I think I'll tell James about that lovely banner.....he'll be very interested. Anyways, for fun, I tickle my feet. Otherwise, I read, play FF7, experiment with face paints, and blade. What else? Nothing much. Sit and stare at the ceiling until I become posessed by ancient gods.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Showing very little emotion, she snapped her fingers, summoning a slave. She walked in quietly, and bowed low.[/i] Vondeux: ....I want you to go on an errand for me... [i]She nodded. Having mute slaves around was proving to be very beneficial. Trailing her fingers through the girl's hair, she brought her lips very close to her ear. What she whispered went unheard. Then she was dismissed. Vondeux stood up and walked through the halls to Ariel's room. The girl was fast asleep. Dreaming small dreams. She sat down on the bed next to her and pulled the sheet away. She opened the jar of eucalyptus oil next to the bed and massaged it into her back. It losened up her mind, opening it like a door. Vondeux smiled. So adorable. Especially at that age. Ariel turned in her sleep. "Hello darling..." "....is that you Vondeux?" "Yes, don't be afraid." "The demon left you." "I knew he would go. His type never linger." "And he broke the connection. I saw him do it. I always dream like that." "That is good. Sometimes bad though. What else do you see?" "Nothing else. Aside from a cute Dragouret girl." "Ah yes, his current love affair. She'll be more trouble than she's worth. Hopefully." She smiled and brushed the hair from Ariel's peaceful face. They're mind conversations grew increasingly complex. Not only did they speak with words, but with hands and hearts. Ethric bodies forming to interact...[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]A ward went off, and she smiled. So he had really left. Oh well. Not like there were any other Val'Shagress's that would bother going after him, and she didn't mind. She hadn't even paid him. Oh well. Kelnoz's employers could try taking it back, but would probably be killed......by her hands too. She walked out of her box, Rhain following. Women greeted her, nobles bowing and smiling and such. True to her rank, she paid them what they deserved, a smile and little else. When she reached her home, via levitation and a speed spell, she found it in good order. She handed her Steward the list she had composed, and he set off. She losened her hairpins and walked into her room. Taking off her heavy circlet, setting it down, then moving on to her nobility clothes. Heavy and cumbersome, but sometimes very useful. She slipped into something lighter, made of spider's weave, and put on her silver circlet instead. Then she walked into her throne room and sat down. Rhain was excused, she could barely keep her eyes open as it was. The slave that had been knocked out was humiliated, and sold. She picked at her nails, while her guard reported to her.[/i] "Found him with a Dragouret, going back to where you apprehended him, then I lost him." "I know he was with her. I also know he's got a hard time shielding his mind. I read it during our time together." "You did M'lady?" "Yes I did. Dismissed." [i]She felt the points of her teeth with her tongue. There was no need to do anything further. She never said she would bind him to herself....but she never said she wouldn't. They had shared blood, and in the process, bonded. He wouldn't be able to leave her completly, return to the surface, or get any further than the Underdark. Oh joy. "......poor little dear."[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Jaudiar ran her nails down the stone walls, sharpening them to points. Then she snapped them open and stroked his chin with one. He swallowed hard and began to speak. Ananda absorbed the information quietly, taking in far more than her younger sister. Trict Five, a group of insanely powerful men, sent to destroy them by any means possible, starting out small, then progressing to overkill. They must be more valuable then they thought. Ananda held out her hand and Jaudiar released him. She knelt down next to him, and drew his head up to her face.[/i] Ananda: ....for your sake, Kennan....you better not be lying to us. Kennan: I never.... [i]She silenced him with a long sensual kiss, during which she pulled information from his mind directly. When she pulled away, he was gasping for air, lips blue. Jaudiar chuckled softly. Poor thing was going to die and he knew it.[/i][/COLOR]

Although I would rather judge than be a writer. *stifles screams of how good a writer she is* It's just easier to live with yourself that way. I don't like competition.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Shrai'i Kell Megelani raised her hands over her head, evaluated by the steward of His house. Naked, of course, that's how all slaves started out. The better to see any faults. She knew she had none. The geneticists had made sure of that. At his request, she turned slowly, letting every curve show itself. He nodded, handed over the required payment and took her bound hands, leading her off the stand. He led her down the street, allowing the people to stare at his master's most recent purchase. Shrai'i. Her type were coveted for their perfect forms, and hard to come by. He had gotten lucky today.[/i] Steward: Name. Shrai'i: Shrai'i Kell Megelani. Steward: ....that will do.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Luyii and Juu retired early. Both of them were somewhat tired of drilling, and either they were just exhausted from life......or something else. She tucked Juu in after their nightly rituals of Paladies and Yoga, and turned out the lights. She closed the door, engaging the security system just incase. Once she was down for the night, Luyii closed the drapes in the living room, and the blinds of the dining room. She closed everything up in the kitchen, then went to the room she shared with Dria. Two futons that fit together by some feat of feng shue and excellent planning. She removed her bra and panties, turning the water on as hot as it would go. She brushed her hair and braided it down her back in one long plait. Then she washed her hands and stepped into the shower. Steam rose around her, obscuring her senses, putting her back four years ago. To her first and only love. How they made love together, as if they were the only people on earth. And then seeing him leave, in a coffin. And never coming back to say goodbye, or kiss her one last time. Either it was the water, or the tears, but she let the feeling pass. She lathered up, and conditioned herself. This was no time to get emotional and sweet. Juu was depending on her to be strong. That was something she could keep up as long as she got a break every now and then....but no getting lazy today. She roused herself from her revelie and stepped out, wrapping herself up. She walked into the main sleeping room and put on her purple thong and nightdress. Then slipped in between the sheets, turning out the lights. The phone rang. She picked it up.[/i] "Luyii, you going to bed?" "Yeah...what's wrong?" "Nothing, just on my way to work....believe it or not." "Let me guess. You had sex again." [i]She laughed and passed over the stats. Luyii nodded and hung up, then rolled over and slept.[/i][/COLOR]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by CalmLikeABomb [/i] [B]Six minutes later, the cockroach came out with the meal, pretty much unhurt. Incredible. [/B][/QUOTE] [COLOR=royalblue]Well, they can survive around the Ground Zero places in the world....along with Scorpions. Those two things survive a full on spray of bug killer and shake their asses at you to taunt. I tried freezing scorpion once in an icecube, then defrosted it a week later. He came out. Alive. And nearly got me before I crushed it with my hiking boot. In retrospect....save the fancy stuff for deliciate creatures, and just use brute force on the hardy bugs.[/COLOR]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by PiroMunkie [/i] [B][size=1]I never did get it, which I actually find rather amazing, lol. ^__^; I think I have a strong immune system or something. I rarely ever get sick. I could probably drink the blood of someone with herpes and be fine... Not that I would care to find out.[/size] [/B][/QUOTE] [COLOR=royalblue]I can get you some just incase you get curious one night... *evil grin* Not that I have it...my friend does. According to my friend, mono the virus, is the most dehabilitating disease you can ever catch. In short: Save yourself and disinfect everything.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Dria found Luyii feeding their pet. A huge black Rotweiler with the appetite of all three of them put together. Affectionately, his name was Butch. Angrily, his name was Mudd. She closed the closet doors with her foot and turned. Top off, hair down around her face, smelling like dog food and perfume alike.[/i] "Lovely scent dear." "It's necessary darling." [i]She washed her hands and poured herself a glass of white wine, pushing the bottle towards Dria. Miss Star declined politely and instead loaded her guns. On the table, the youngest of them was sharpening her blade. Luyii was, as usual, mentoring her at the same time. Even when she walked in, she was quizzing her on both history and world geography. In a few hours, they would move on to either mathmatics or chemistry. It paid to have a fully fledged college professor for a sister. Especially one that knew almost everything about life. Men included. Although she was a mere 14...there was plenty of time to progress. Living with an abnormally intelligent 18 year old...and herself just 23, some would consider it dangerous. Only problem was that they fed on it. Adored it. Which explained their lifestyle. Dria waved goodbye and took the car out. Luyii knew better than to ask. Instead she moved on to chemistry.[/i][/COLOR]

[color=royalblue]My friends got it from sharing the same can....of soda...and now. I am paranoid beyond belief. If it's a communal ANYTHING, I stay away from it. Being exhausted for life is not my idea of fun. So, I carry my own drinks around, my own food, and disinfectant wipes/hand lotion. Call me a psycho, but it's for my own good.[/color]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]He nodded and she turned around. She leapt down the halls, gathering the twenty children. Bear, fox, ferret, eagle, wolf, owl, and many others. All of them whined a bit, but when they saw her eyes glinting red with a hint of battle lust, they ran. She followed behind, shepherding them down, always down. At least forty miles down and back, far away from the threat of humanity. As soon as they reached the blank wall, she stroked it with her fingertip, breathing softly on it. Instantly, it melted away and revealed the children's hiding place. They were pressed in, and she handed the instructions to Bear. Ferret comforted the smaller children, and Rena nodded. Everything in order. She blew them all a kiss and resealed the door from the outside. Then she crawled upwards again, longing for a battle.[/i][/COLOR]
