Raiha

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She chuckled and stared him in the eyes. In a flash of silver, she reverted back to human form. Still naked, she smiled and twirled her staff lazily. This was fun.....[/i] Kenneth: So you didn't even want to sleep with Lingh...it was just to repay a debt. Ananda: Yeah, didn't even mean anything at all. Kenneth: Did you even name the child? Ananda: No. Bilouhou insisted it be brought straight to him. After I delivered him, he was taken to him by Lingh. Kenneth: Heartless. Ananda: That was a long time ago...it's nothing now but an echo of the past. [i]She walked in a circle around him, one hand tracing across his chest. He followed her movements with one eye. She reminded him of the serpents on her staff.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She swooped low over the township then surged upwards again....filling her lungs with air again...Eventually, her beating wings carried her to the outskirts of town. Blood humming in her veins from the flight, she landed easily and wrapped her wings around herself....Then she curled them back again and leaned on her staff. Watching. Laughing.[/i] Lingh: [i]Did you tell him?[/i] Ananda: [i]Yes. His township will fall. And I relish it.[/i] Lingh: [i]Do not be over careless. He is stronger than you reason...but still. You have done reasonably well. Keep within sight of the Sanctum for now. I will speak later.[/i] Ananda: [i]Enago Hai![/i] Kenneth: ...What was that all about? [i]She chuckled. He was watching her again, standing dangerously close...Within reach. Her tail twitched and her body undulated...[/i] Ananda: Call it a temper tantrum. Of sorts. Kenneth: Blasting a hole into the holy of holies, cussing at Isthanae....? Ananda: I never picked up on that whole Respect thing. Us Dragouret's aren't made for it. Kenneth: One thing I don't understand. Most of them are mute. What about you? Ananda: Lingh struck a bargain with Bilouhou of the Celestials. He granted speech to me, in return for a favor. Kenneth: What's the favor? Ananda: My firstblood child was be his. Kenneth: Sounds like a fairy tale. And you already had a cub? Ananda: ....mm. A one night stand with Lingh. He was never one to refuse what was within his reach.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She jerked open the door with a hideous snarl, fangs dripping with her own blood.[/i] Ananda: What?!? Kenenth: ! ....mm...nothing. [i]She looked down, at her bare body and colored furiously....with a quick shove, she brushed him out of the way with her wings and stomped out of the room. Kenneth stared. If anything, she had gotten bigger than before. In more places than one. With every footstep, she grew more angry...she had had enough of humans for one day. Once she was in the main hall again, she glared at Isthanae...who stared back...She stopped, bent down, and picked up her staff...Then she whirled around and beat her wings once. She quickly rose into the air...[/i] Kenneth: Won't you be staying for tea? Ananda: Gimme a raincheck. And call Lingh when the others finally come! Isthanae: um...sure, Kenneth: The exit would be.....that way. *points* Ananda: .... [i]She growled and shot upwars, arms crossed over her head. She blasted straight through the roof and disapeared into the bright sunlight. As soon as she broke into the clear air she breathed deeply then called out her hunting song.....[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She waved her hand as if Rae was beneath her.[/i] Jaudiar: She's already free. I saw to that while you were in lala land. Liam: You devious bîtch. Jaudair: I love being me. Liam: ...are you going to put clothes on at all? Jaudiar: Sure...in a few hours. Liam: Gug. [i]She chuckled at him, and then pulled on her skirt and halter top. Both were a perfect fit, having been purloined from Siren's personal stash.... Once dressed somewhat decently, she reloaded her guns and swung on her backpack again.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Ananda was irked slightly....she had let her control slip... She sighed and turned to Isthanae, words echoing in his mind. He nodded and pointed her in the right direction. Once inside the side room, she locked the door behind her and immediatly grew out her claws and ripped off her restraining clothes... The pressure of becoming half of her true form was too much....and her spinal cord was crying for release. Once she had gotten down to bare skin, her spine rippled and sparked...several painful moments later, her body reverted. Huge wings flew out of her back and pressed out. Horns spurted out from her forehead and her teeth grew more feral than before. With one final twist of her body the spines on her back grew longer....and she was released. Pleasure of change, coupled with the thrill of fresh blood, drove her to let out her feelings in the form of a mind shattering scream.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She hissed and whirled around, both snakes spiraling off of her staff, twisting around the shadows. Her outstretched palm quickly became clawed while three horns protruded from both sides of her forehead. Kenneth yelped and quickly came back into the light. Ananda stepped closer to Isthanae and put her lips to his ear. The words that fell from her lips were unheard by all except for the one destined to know of them.[/i] Isthanae: ...I see. Ananda: ...Yes. [i]Her energy quickly quited down to nothing at all...and the snakes were still once more...She smiled and tapped the staff down against the ground....The body of Ananda reverted to one of normalcy...and her eyes glittered softly. Isthanae was troubled...but did not let on.[/i] Ananda: I hate evesdropers. Kenneth: No kidding.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]She slipped away from Kenneth...and quietly walked up to Isthanae..... Once she was closely behind him, both snakes quietly slithered back onto her staff and froze back into place. Ananda smiled slightly, showing the fangs of her life with the others.[/i] Ananda: Isthanae.... Isthanae: What do you want? Ananda: I am the emissary of Lingh Red Eyes. He has sent me to speak with you. Isthanae: ...why? Ananda: It is something I must speak of alone. Do you have a place where we may talk in confidence? [i]He rose to his feet and turned...sizing her up, much like Kenneth had. She colored slightly under his stare. This was getting to be annoying....[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]Oh, and for your convenience, here's what she generally looks like, just a bit more mature. And taller.[/COLOR]

[COLOr=royalblue]Ananda: What is this? Show off and tell? Kenneth: Sure. [i]Raising her staff high above her head, she slammed it into the ground and in that moment, the two snakes came to life. Both slithered from the cherrywood to the ground and swirled around her legs...between them, around her head, and across her arms.[/i] Ananda: Anything else? Kenneth: Do they have names? Ananda: This is joy, and this is chaos. [i]As soon as they were named, they hissed and bared fangs....fangs dripping with venom...[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]Sil: Of course...you know that if you touch my bare skin, you'll drop dead. Craig: How about, you can't fly further than we can reach from the ground? Sil: ....Hmmm....okay. Ken: Need I say more? Sil: ...maybe touching hair should count... [i]Laughing at Craig's face, she rose into the air slightly and moved just out of their reach...teasing...playful once more. With a quick move, she swoped down and tapped Craig's face with a gloved hand.[/i] Sil: You're it. [i]With another quick dodge, she avoided his playful slap and swerved violently between the trees...moving swiftly, but allowing them to keep up at a headlong run.[/i][/cOLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]Axel: *chuckle* No. Jaudiar: ....bastard. Axel: ...mhmmm? [i]She hissed and prepared to rip the file in half. He quickly snatched it out of her hands and raised one of his own. She bent over backwards avoiding his slap easily. Then she danced out of the way and shook her finger at him.[/i] Jaudiar: Naughty naughty... Axel: Shall we? Jaudiar: Lets...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]Ananda: Could be worse. Kenneth: *chuckle* How so? Ananda: You could be like me. [i]She winked, and swung down from her position in the air, tapping her rod to the ground before using it to swing herself upwards into the air. She flipped twice before landing lightly on one foot, the other poised in the passe position of ballet. Anand smiled at Kenneth's look of surprise. Sure she didn't look like more than a slip of a girl, but like some wolves, she had the agility to give strength when it wasn't necessary.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOr=royalblue]*sigh* *shakes head* Let's all pretend that came just before my post. -_-;; ~~~~~~~~~[/COLOR] [COLOR=purple][i]Sil turned and looked at Craig and Ken. Both were surprised. For all of her flirting and teasing, she was capable of being totally serious...She tapped her gloved hands together, then rose to her feet, aided by her powers of flight.[/i] Ken: That blows. Sil: ...not to mention I still haven't found who really hurt her in the first place....when I do....his pain will be a thousand times as great as mine. [i]The vhemence in her voice was a harsh change from her usual smooth way of talking....she turned and faced the sliver of a moon, eyes shimmering slightly with liquid. This was a night full of feelings. Pain, and fear. But also one of hope, that there could be something else. Moon Chaser turned around, lights snapping playfully in her eyes.[/i] Craig: Hmm? Sil: Who's up for tag?[/color]

[cOLOr=royalblue][i]She grabbed him by the arm and dragged her down the hall with him....with the other hand, she banged on Craig's door. He opened it, then his jaw dropped. Bra and shorts....bare skin...[/i] Ken: Eheh. Craig: Wha-? Sil: Wanna go for a walk with us? We were planing on exploring the grounds. Craig: Why are you.... Sil: I'm not affected by cold and hot. Now comeon! [i]The three walked out into the cool night air... The stars were bright, due to the lack of moonlight....The forest like atmosphere served to give Sil a calm pleasure...one she had not experienced in a long time...[/i] Ken: ...nice evening. Sil: You wanted to know about me? Craig/Ken: Sure. Sil: I killed my mom when my powers manifested themselves...and wandered ever since. End of story.[/COLOR]

[COLOr=royalblue]Ananda: Well, as you might hve guessed, I'm not hung up on personal appearences...I was born with some of them. But when I failed Lingh for the second time, he didn't take well to it. Kenneth: ...claws? Ananda: Yes. But I learned my lessons....and never have failed him since. Kenneth: Spare the rod... Ananda: Keep good looks in line. But I don't give a damn. Kenneth: That sounds like Lingh alright. [i]She smirked, eyes snapping playfully. For a criminal, he was pretty interesting...[/i] Ananda: So enough about me. Tell me about you.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]Pale sun, Hide behind the clouds Lovely moon, Rise into the air. Show us your beauty, And let us bathe, By the shimmer you create, For it has been a long time. Since I've seen you upon my sill.[/COLOR]

[COLOr=royalblue][i]She magicked a steady wind to carry her into the air...and on it, she reclined, as if resting on a couch...this was going to be fun.[/i] Ananda: I was raised by wolves, after my mother gave up on me....Lingh of the Galeigh tribe taught me everything I know... Kenneth: Lingh...I know him. Ananda: He mentioned you...said you were totally insane, good company if you wanted to have an interesting night. Kenneth: Really... Ananda: But he said that you were a demon in disguise. And I'm not surprised. But I don't mind in the least. Kenneth: So Lingh raised you by claw. It shows. Ananda: How so? Kenneth: You apper to be innocent on the outside, but from what I've seen, you're a whiplash underneath. [i]She smirked at him and floated to the ground, untying her tunic at the same time. His eyes opened wider. What the hell was she doing? The female sorceress dropped her shirt down to her waist and turned around. Scars, inumerable, sliding and twisting across her back.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOr=royalblue]Sil: Men... [i]She pulled on a bra and jean shorts, then slipped on her ever present gloves. Then she smiled at Ken, who was still looking singularly uncomfortable. She smirked and walked past him, running a gloved finger across his chest at the same time... His gaze followed the path of her finger, then he shook his head a few times, regaining his self control. She was both attractive, then dark at the same time.....the way she flirted, and the knowledge that her bare skin could kill, created an interesting complex...[/i] Sil: Let's go get Craig. I want to explore the grounds. Ken: ...O- *voice cracks* *clears throat* Yeah. Sure.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Ananda could feel Keneth's eyes on her, but didn't do a thing....wolves were just as bad. Oh well, she would survive, it wouldn't be the first time.... She smiled inwardly. Men were so easy to manipulate. As she moved, she fingered the staff in her hands, the snake eyes on it coming to life... At the touch of their mistress's hands, they glowed and hissed. Kenneth started. She was a sorceress...[/i] Kenneth: ... Ananda: *turns* Is there something wrong Kenneth? Kenneth: You're a sorceress. Ananda: I'm from Galeigh, and you didn't already figure that out? Kenneth: ...Sorry. Ananda: Forgiven.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Next to naked, Sil reclined on her bed, feet up, book in her hands... While the others might prefer thrillers, she still found Sheakspeare to be just as invigorating.... Halfway through the second act of Romeo and Juliet, a knock on the door brought her back to reality. Totally unconcerned with her appearence, she rose to her feet languidly and and opened the door.[/i] Ken: Hey --um... Sil: Hmm? *looks down* Oh. Ken: You wanna go put something on and...? Sil: No.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue]Ananda: ....damned is right. [i]She muttered to heself, but Kenneth appeared to have heard her....he chuckled and gave her a quizzical look.[/i] Ananda: What? Kenneth: Why is it damned to you? If you've never been in it? Ananda: I'm from the Forest of Galeigh. And this place doesn't have any breathing room...everyone's so comfortable, I think a natural disaster would do them good. Kenneth: What kind? Ananda: Fire and Brimstone. Coupled with a plague of locusts...and maybe an avalanche from the Atanae mountains.... [i]The 'Reaper' gave her a teasing look...she seemed to be serious about it, despite her gentle appearence. She clacked her staff into the ground, then turned on her heel and marched inside, without so much as half a thank you. Keneth watched her go....she did have a nice åss.....[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Jaudiar turned her hand and brushed her lips against his, then winked at his shocked expression.[/i] Liam: ....um... Jaudiar: For good luck. Now comeon, let's rock the party. Liam: What party? Jaudiar: Pizaro's throwing a big fat gala of some kind....I thought it would be nice for us to show up there....later. Liam: ...what else do you have in that backpack? Jaudiar: Rations, a skirt and a minitop for me to change into....an extra clip or two for my 9mms, and my boots... Liam: Damn. And here I am with 4 guns and nothing but khakis and shoes. Jaudiar: You'll live. Now come on! I don't want to miss the bus![/COLOR]

[COLOr=royalblue]Ananda: .....excuse me. Kenneth: ...what? [i]A young woman had tapped him on the shoulder. He sized her up. She was tall enough to stare him in the eye, and her build was slender, yet somehow he could sense energy inside of her. Built like a whipcord...eyes like iron....[/i] Ananda: How do I get to the Sanctum? Kenneth: Who wants to know? Ananda: Ananda, of the Galeigh clan. Kenneth: .....follow me. Ananda: ...thank you.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Sil smiled slightly...Craig was pretty cute, but she knew it wasn't worth it if she would never be able to touch him. She took off her gloves and silently peeled an orange with her nails. Ken watched her movements quietly and she turned up to look at him.[/i] Ken: Sorry. Sil: It's alright. I guess I look pretty harmless. Craig: No offense, but you really do. [i]One of her eyebrows perked slightly, her first impulse was to haul him over the table and bas his head in with the fruit basket..but she kept a grip on herself.[/i] Sil: Mm, I suppose you don't remember who carried you partway here. Ken: ....you don't look that buff either. [i]She smiled broadly and flicked a peice of orange pulp at his head. Swiftly consuming the rest of the orange, she wiped her hands and pulled her gloves back on. Then she gracefully rose into the air behind them and landed at the head of the table. Without another word, she turned and sauntered out of the room... Craig and Ken watched her retreating backside. Not only did she have a nice åss, she was also wearing skin tight leather...[/i] Ken: She seems nice. Craig: ...mm...yep. Ken: I wonder if she really is as strong she says she is. Xavier: You'll find out tomorrow.[/COLOR]

[COLOr=royalblue]Heh, sure you will.....[/COLOR]
