'weirdly, she has just disappeared, i have not seen her for ages' Tish smiled.

'I dont think she was serious' she giggled, stroking his warm face with her cold palm.

OOC: Leaving again now makes me look bad I know. But I'll be back in half an hour, not trying to aviod you, but at 6 or so I usually do :D

**Vaga stumbles in from the woods and walks into the bar. he pauses at the door for a minute and searches the bar for it's fire axe. upon finding it, he files it away in his memory and goes to the bar for a bottle of rum**

OOC: I have to sleep now......sorryooc: nite

IC: Carries Gides upstair to her room.

*She had patroled for most of the night, stopping places to act as a sentry. Now, she returned to the bar for a much needed drink.*

*Empty again...funny how in such a crowded place, she so often found herself alone. With a sigh, she took to the dark confines of the rafters.*

*walks down stairs* Hi everyone

*looking aorund* I guess no one's here *walks over to the bar and makes a drink*

At the bar, a man sleeps, face propped up by an elbow. And that elbow is slipping...

*thud*

I'm awake! I'm awake! Err.. bwa? Sorry about that, didn't know just how tired I was.

*waves to Roxburry*

*looks around for conversation but doesn't find any*
*gets a beer and sits on the couch*

*Tries to hide her smile* did I wake you Im sry didnt see you there.

A man in a dark Armani suit enters the club... starts looking around... as if searching for something or someone.

he peers at every man's face... as if searching for a reconizable feature.

No no, *rubs his elbow* 'twas only a matter of time before that happened.

*sees Sanct enter*

So... is it always this busy? ;)

OOC: >_< Went out rather longer than I thought I would. Ah well :P

no not always *looks to the door* excuse me for a second *smiling*
*walks over to this mysteriuos fellow* hi can I intrest you in a drink, somting to eat? We also have rooms for rent perhaps you'd like to rest? Or you can just have a sit and join all of us for a drink at the bar. Im roxy, and you are?

I can help, you mean JuNii. And he isn't in. Technically he is but not down here. Sorry, can I pass on a message?

I can help, you mean JuNii. And he isn't in. Technically he is but not down here. Sorry, can I pass on a message? :) ahh, no, no message... We... I wish to surprise him... so he's here often then?

yes I believe junii left with his girl friend earlier but Santc can help you now I need to run up to my room it was nice to meet you.Girlfriend... interesting Oh, sorry I missed him... Maybe next time...







nice place you got here. Very Nice Place indeed.

*runs up to her room takes out the key gose into the room and crwals onto the bed* oh my head aches *places her hand on her head and falls to sleep*

:) ahh, no, no message... We... I wish to surprise him... so he's here often then?
All the time nearly. Except when he isn't here, like now. ANyways, got to run, nice meeting you.

Yes... very nice...

the stranger turns and leaves, glancing back over his shoulders just as the door closes.

*Vex pulled the hot loaves of Pane Toscana from the oven and set them on a cooling rack. he’d gone into the kitchen to eat earlier, but realized he wasn’t really all that hungry afterall. sitting alone and sulking was only serving to bring him down farther. so, he decided to do what he did best...and missed most...cook. there was nothing quite like kneading a good dough to work out the stresses of life and to clear one’s mind. and now the clientele of the restaurant would reap the profits of his labor*

*Vex removed his cooking jacket and pulled on a heavier coat and left the building through the alley exit. he walked across the wide parking lot and onto the golf course. it was still chilly, but the unbearably bitter cold had finally moved on, leaving behind depressingly gray skies and a few flakes of softly falling snow. he ambled slowly up the fairway toward the 14th tee*

*looks around* hello...............?

*puts her coat on and wanders outside*

*Vex arrived at the top of the cliff next to the 14th teebox. he noticed that this place had been visited very recently and he wondered by whom. he sat and dangled his feet over the edge and stared out across the water*

*wanders around for a while then spots Vex and goes up to him* hey.........

Hey..

*sits down next to him and dangles her legs over the cliff* how's things?

*busies himself cleaning up the bar*

Getting by.

How about you?

Getting by.

How about you?
same *rests her head on his shoulder and puts her arms around his waist*

*he puts his arm around her shoulders and watches the snow flakes swirl in little spirals down the face of the cliff*

*puts her hood up* and snuggles closer* I missed when i was away

*hops up and extends his hand*

C'mon...let's get out of here. You'll catch your death of a cold.

*takes his hand and stands up* sure....

**wakes from his rum induced nap and looks aorund the bar. mostly epmty still, so he slipped off the stool and made his way outside to the balcony**
far too much peace around here lately. nice at first, but definatly gets dull quick.
**sighs and looks out over the waves**
so many people gone, taking the tensness, the urgency with them. now all these people do is enjoy each other's company.
**his face contorts in disgust at the thought**
well, we'll just have to see what we can do about that.
**he took one more look over his shoulder into the club, then took a quick step towards the long drop below and jumped, launching up, over the club and into the clouds, pulling those he passes through into a sort of reverse cyclone in his wake, the long black coat with tattered edge, flowing behind him like a cape**

*they walk silently, hand in hand, back to the Paradise Club. upon entering, they stomp the snow off their shoes and make their way into the lobby. Tink heads toward the bar, but Vex lingers, then heads off toward the elevator. she turns just in time to see him smile at her as the doors close and whisk him away*

*grabs a bottle of wine and a glass and sits in a dark corner*

*heads upstairs to her room crying, stopping at Vex's door on the way and looking at it longingly before carrying on to her own room*

*Boredly, she dropped from the rafters and landed in a crouch on the bar. Casually, she picked out a bottle of whiskey and twisted off the lid for a drink.*

three gentlemen enter the bar... each heads for a different room. their leader, a man in a dark Armani suit with sunglasses, heads into the main bar. he sits at a dark booth... waiting...

*She narrowed her eyes, watching the newcomer and his henchmen. But with a shift of the wings, she resumed her easy crouch and started mixing a B-24 Bomber*

*he couldn't remember ever being in the stairwell before. he'd always meant to start taking the stairs back and forth, but never had. I mean, his suite is only on the third floor, for crissake*

*Vex opened the stairwell door and found himself between the elevator bank and the club office, near the public restrooms and the fancy water fountain*

Hmm...so that's where they come out. Whadda ya know?

*Tensing, she snapped her attention in the direction of the sound, unable to see around corners to determine the source.*

*he walked out into the lobby and stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at nothing in particular*

*She relaxed and her face softened a bit, seeing Vex.*

'lo there stranger.

*looks up*

Hey there. Bar's open if you want a drink!

*looks up*

Hey there. Bar's open if you want a drink!
*laughs softly*

Uh...Vex is one of the owners.

'lo there stranger.
Hi Gael. You're looking rather fetching this evening...;)

*looks up*

Hey there. Bar's open if you want a drink!
It seems to me, if you're tending bar, that I should know who you are. And yet...I do not.

You flatter me, Vex. I wouldn't advise it. ;)

*She sampled the Bomber and smiled*

I can mix a pretty mean drink, if I do say so myself. Then again, I guess I had plenty of practice back in the day.

Truth be told, there was no-one here when I arrived, so I thought I'd lend a hand. And no-one seems to object so far!

Most only know me as Nsendalen. Friends call me Ankaris.

*extends a hand*

And you?

Flattery!? Oh, now Gael, you've gone and hurt my feelings. There is no one more sincere than me...

And I'll have a martini...

*strolls by the bar, and stops when she sees it's actually got people in it...*

Hullo, everyone...

And no-one seems to object so far!

That's because you hadn't run into me...until now.

Be nice, Vex. You can only make a first impression once.

*She fixed up the martini, shaken not stirred, and held the glass out to Vex*

*She fixed up the martini, shaken not stirred, and held the glass out to Vex*
*takes the martini and smiles at Gael*

You're not about to start mothering me anytime soon, are you?

Hullo, everyone...

Hi Spar. You care for a pina colada? Perhaps the bartender will mix one up for you. Or...you could have this martini. I won't be needing it...

*Vex sets the gin down on the bar near Sparren and wanders over to the cooler, pulling out a bottle of water*

Mothering? I wouldn't dream of it.

...it's one of the many things I love about you...

*unscrews the cap off the water bottle and takes a long drink*

*shrugs and mixes up a few drinks*

Your mind's your own I guess, I can't please everyone.

*shrugs and mixes up a few drinks*

Your mind's your own I guess, I can't please everyone.
My apologies...

I'll let you stay on for a bit to prove yourself. If I like what I see, I'll consider making it permanent. What do you think?

Sounds good!

*pulls up a stool and novel*

*sighs and rolls her eyes, sitting down in the corner*

I'd just like something cold, if you don't mind...

Sounds good!

I'm so glad you approve...

*Vex wanders back to the club office and spins in the big swivel chair, craving the gin he'd left sitting back on the bar...*

*sighs and rolls her eyes, sitting down in the corner*

I'd just like something cold, if you don't mind...

*nods*

Not a problem.

*fixes up a simple cold drink, and places it on the counter, then appears to go into automatic, idly drying glasses with a cloth*

OOC: 2.17am GMT. Bit late. Night all!

Thanks... *takes the glass and goes back to her table, putting her feet up on another chair*

*Vex paced through the lobby, the bar and back into the office. he glanced at his watch...*

Over an hour now...

*he stopped off at Sparren's table*

Nice to see you, Spar.

*he smiled and headed across the lobby toward the elevator, then swerved slightly to the right toward the stairs instead...*

You too... *tilts her head and smiles slightly as he walks away*

*She grabbed a second glass of B-24 and hopped off the bar, making her way over to the empty fireplace.*

:walks into the club:
hello? anyone home?

*Glances up quickly at the unfamiliar voice.*

Greetings.

:tosses his pack into a corner:
hi there. place always this diserted this late?

Usually, no. Recently, yes. Nice to see a new face 'round these parts. What brings you to the ill-named Paradise, mate?

not sure why i'm here. i just am.
:shrugs:
's the bar still open?

It never closes. Help yourself.

*She took a sip of her drink and eyed the newcomer critically*

Name's Gael, by the way.

name's Red.
:crosses the room to the bar and makes himself a shot of scotch:

Well I must say, Red, you're a welcome break in the routine.

am i? what passes for rutine then?

*Wanders in and looks around*

Geese it's been awhile...

hello there.

Well now, there's a face I haven't seen in ages. Sexc, how goes it?

*She smiled warmly*

oh, hey, how you doin?

an old regular i take it?

You referring to Sexc or myself, Red?

both, i supose.
:looks at the both of them:
i suddenly feel very green.

Hey, no worries. Sexc has been with us for a few months now. I've been around since before the first Paradise Club.

:shrugs:
alrighty then. either of you want a drink while i'm back here?

I'm still working on this one. But thanks, though.

mmk.
:hops back over the bar and grabs his drink:
so, how long does one have to be here to get a pair of wings?

*Quirks a brow suspiciously*

Come again?

sorry, bad joke. i was just curious about the wings. dont see too many of those around. i apologise if i've overstepped my bounds.

I see.

OOC: Either you're a puppet, or you've been reading back. Interesting..

ooc : a good guess. but then its always more fun to play more than one character.

OOC: Ah ha. That of course begs the question...who are you? Or better, how long will it take me to figure it out?

ooc : it shouldnt take that long. the fun is in the chase, is it not?

OOC: I already have my suspicions. :D

IC:
Well, Red, it's been a pleasure. But I need some rest before too much longer. Try not to get too bored in here.

ooc : i would be disapointed if you didnt.

IC : will do. take it easy.
:collapses into the corner booth where his pack lays:

OOC: Besides, who else would be on at this hour?

IC:
*With a slight smirk, she crossed to the balcony and took to flight*

ooc : only me. sleep well Gael.

*Jon strolled leisurely into the PC and fixed himself a drink. He stayed by the bar whilst he drank it*

*comes downstairs*

*goes to the hot tub and gets in in his boxers*

OOC: Besides, who else would be on at this hour?

IC:
*With a slight smirk, she crossed to the balcony and took to flight*

OOC: Its 7.00 for me :D PM

IC: *yawns and walks blearily over to bar*

*On entering the bar, Orchid takes in the empty bar, with the exception of Jon, who appears to be asleep at the bar.

Walking over to him, she gives him a poke in the ribs!*

Hello.
:)

*wakes up with a start*
OOOOOWW, thanks Orchid. Talk about a rude awakening. Nice to see you. How are you?

Sorry did I startle you?

:D

I'm very well thanks, hows about you?

*hugs*
I have sore ribs, I can't think why. Other than that, I'm fine.
*goes to the back and gets out a bottle of red wine with two glasses*
Would you care for a drink?

Mmmm,
Thanks, that would be lovely.

I shan't hug back, I should hate to hurt your poor ribs...

Mmmm,
Thanks, that would be lovely.
I shan't hug back, I should hate to hurt your poor ribs...
*pours out two glasses and hands one to Orchid*
Its ok, my ribs have taken worse blows. I shall survive I believe.
Cheers!
*sips the wine*

*Gratefully takes the glass of wine from Jon.*

Thanks.

Cheers to you to.

So whats new, I have been away for a few days.

*She raises her glass to him.*

*drinks the rest of the wine*
Well, my mums operation passed smoothly, which is great. Tinks is sending me EXTREMELY mixed messages. Overall, I'm contented but confused. And yourself?

Oooh, your Mum had an op?

May I ask for what, or is it personal?

I'm glad that all went well.

I think Tink often sends mixed messages, it seems to be her way!

Me, nothing new...last time I saw Dem was a while ago...like Tink, he blows hot and cold...

She had Thyroid Gland Cancer. But she's all ok now, which is great. She's recovering well.
Its driving me crazy. One day Tinks says how I make her so happy etc... the next she doesn't want to talk to me.
Anyways, you up for a game of tennis or something?

Tennis...mmm

OK, but I know nothing about it...just that you need a racket each and tennis balls, and you hit the balls with the racket!

I'm willing to learn though, if you can teach me!

Ok, thats a start yes. Preferably hitting it over the net and into the court as well, but lets not set our sights too high! I'll just go get changed, I suggest you do the same. A tracksuit should do it. Back in a minute.
*disappears upstairs and returns minutes later with a tracksuit and two good tennis rackets*

*Dissapears up to her room.

When she emerges, she is wearing a baby pink tracksuit, and white trainers.*

*smiles and puts his hands over his eyes*
Aaaaah! The colours are blinding me. Just kidding. Lets go?
*walks out to the tennis court and realises its snowed under. Also realises its cold*
And that was our tennis lesson for the day!

Aw.....

Oh well, I'm not changing back now...what else is there we can do?

Aw.....

Oh well, I'm not changing back now...what else is there we can do?
Hmmm.... good question. Indoor, as its cold outside. There's the indoor swimming pool, uuuh.... the bar area, the hot tub, thats about it I think!

Oh..I love to swim....but as it's Winter I haven't brought my costume...so the hot tub is out too!

Do you play snooker?

Quite well actually, didn't know there was a table here though?
*raises eyebrows*

*wakes with a start*
just a dream.
*sighs and rubs his eyes a bit. he gets out of bed and goes to take a shower. afterwards, he opts to skck shaving for the day, throws on a black button down shirt and some jeans and makes his way down to the club*
ello all.

Yes there is a pool room, and there are snooker balls there!

I am not brilliant, but know more about that than tennis!!

*Jon said hi to Dem and went to the bar*
I assume you two will want some time alone?
*He wandered around the club looking for the pool room*

Hello Dem.

The pool room is just over there Jon.

*Points to an area beside the pool area.*

*Smiles at Dem...*

long time no see!

Thanks Orchid!
*Jon called out to her. He entered the pool room and set up the balls correctly, breaking and playing against himself*

a few days at least.
*smiles back*
how's it going?

Oh...fine.

Just thought I'd pop in and see how the place is doing without me...

Jon was going to teach me how to play tennis...hence this pink track suit...

*Does a twirl.*

We never realised that it was an outside court.....

:(

*looks out the window*
ya, i can see why that might have been a problem.

*laughs*

We should have known....

*Sips on the wine.*

Then we were just going to go play snooker or pool....

*Sits down at the bar.*

But I'd rather be with you!

How's work going?

bit busier than usual, though nothing i cant handle. novel coming along?

(ooc: DF, please pretty please with sugar on top can I post your pic on the hottest guy thread so that you can win?)

*Jon finished playing and went back to the bar area. He showed Dem and Orchid ear plugs which he had inserted, gave them a thumbs up and fell asleep on the couch*


OOC: Night guys.
If either of you have MSN, I'd be glad to add you.

Novel is on hold right now...too much else to do....

OOC
Night Jon...I have MSN...

ooc : alright Tinky. use the PB one.

IC : i dont think those are going to be necessary Jon. and if you'd rather have a bed to sleep in than a couch, feel free to use my room.

Novel is on hold right now...too much else to do....

OOC
Nigh Jon...I have MSN...
OOC: Night. And you have a TG!

ooc : alright Tinky. use the PB one.
ooc: yay! will do!

*smiles at Orchid, then turns to the bar and grabs a bottle of Guinness and makes his way towards an empty booth*

*Grabs the rest of the bottle of wine, and follows Dem, sitting opposite to him.*

I assume that you have no objection to me sitting here with you!

;)

of course not.

ooc : actually, i have to run again. sorry. feel free to take over.

*Dems cell phone rings.. and he has to leave...kissing Orchid on the cheek as he leaves.*

Night Dem....

*Sits back in her seat with a sigh!

refills her glass, drinks half, and the tops it up again.*

Now I'm bored!

*Vex takes out a chilled martini glass and drops in an olive, an eyedropper of vermouth and one ice cube. he then pours in a healthy dose of "frozen" Bombay Sapphire Gin and swirls the glass around a bit*

*he grabs a bucket of ice, the bottle of gin, the botle of vermouth and his glass. he decides he can live without the olives. entering the office, he shuts the door and sits in the swivel chair, spinning himself around a time or two*

*Vex samples the martini....perfection in a glass...*

*trudges into the club out of the light breeze and sits down a table for two, alone* *drums her fingers in a rhythm on the table, looking around at the silent club*

*carries his drink into the bar*

Hey Spar. This seat taken?

It is? Well, that's OK. I don't mind. Have a great life...


*finishes his martini and goes behind the bar to mix another*

*is convinced he will enjoy his own company over that of others....*

*carries his drink back into the club office and shuts the door...*

comes downstairs and wanders into bar.

hi Ju

o hi

o hi

*wanders in and sees Tinks. Silently creeps up behind her and puts his arms around her*
Heya, hows it going?

*wanders in and sees Tinks. Silently creeps up behind her and puts his arms around her*

*Wanders into the club in a good mood after not being nominated for Hottest NS Guy*

:p ;) :D

Great thanks, saw Blade 3 the other night and was wondering if norti was going to enlist for the 4th film lol, he would be so over the moon if he got in it!

I'm fine thanks, you?

hi Kel
I'm never better, as I just told Kel. And the fact that you're here makes it even better yet!

smiles as the familiar feelings of what seemed like ages ago fill the club once again.

Why would Norti enlist for the film Kel?

Why would Norti enlist for the film Kel?

Caus apparently he is an aspiring vampire hunter...

smiles as the familiar feelings of what seemed like ages ago fill the club once again.

hey junii!!! long time no see! hows things?

Caus apparently he is an aspiring vampire hunter...
Fair enough. He must be pretty bored around here then, no vampires and all. Plenty of strange things, but no vampires.

hey junii!!! long time no see! hows things?Good... so far. :)

o hican't have you in the corner... want anything to drink?

can't have you in the corner... want anything to drink?
y helo thar, sprite plz

[releases a small winged humanoid who then flutters around and leves...]

damn... you let the sprite get away.... :p


[slides a glass of soda to TC.]

Tinks? Are you ok? You're being very quiet.... did I do or say something wrong?

thx

Tinks? Are you ok? You're being very quiet.... did I do or say something wrong?
I already told you, I'm fine

I already told you, I'm fine
Are you sure? If you have a problem, you will let me know right?

Are you sure? If you have a problem, you will let me know right?
YES! I'M PERFECTLY SURE!

YES! I'M PERFECTLY SURE![raises eyebrow] hey Tinks. Thanks for sorting the pixy problem for me...

Can I get you anything to eat?

Oh shit, Jon screws up again, congratulations buddy
*Jon didn't say anything, he looked at Tinks and silently walked up to his room*

[raises eyebrow] hey Tinks. Thanks for sorting the pixy problem for me...

Can I get you anything to eat?no thanks

Oh shit, Jon screws up again, congratulations buddy
*Jon didn't say anything, he looked at Tinks and silently walked up to his room*
*she went and curled up in a corner and cried*

Jon flopped back onto his bed, a tear trickled down his face.
I am no good at this. Girls seem to hate me no matter what I do. What did I do to deserve Tinks to hate me? What did I say?


OOC: Ju, what were you saying about the old feelings of the PC?;)

[Goes over to Tinks and sits down.]
hey Tinks... Jon is just worried about you. the way you just up and left...

in fact, we all are. [puts arm around her]

if something is wrong, we all wanna help. but you gotta give us a chance.

[Goes over to Tinks and sits down.]
hey Tinks... Jon is just worried about you. the way you just up and left...

in fact, we all are. [puts arm around her]

if something is wrong, we all wanna help. but you gotta give us a chance.this has nothing to do with why I left. I'm just confused

I'm good for now thanks junii. anyone seen gide about recently?

this has nothing to do with why I left. I'm just confusedabout what?

my feelings for people

I'm good for now thanks junii. anyone seen gide about recently?[over his shoulder to Kel] she mentioned about going on a trip... don't know when she's leaving tho. :(

my feelings for peopleahh.... the most confounding and confusing thing...
[rests his head against hers]
and what about the heart has you running ragged?

*Jon heard voices from downstairs. He needed some time to himself, some true peace and quiet*

He walked downstairs, one foot in front of the other like a zombie. He saw Tinks crying, he closed his eyes, the pain and anguish clear. He swallowed and kept walking, out to the forest*

ahh.... the most confounding and confusing thing...
[rests his head against hers]
and what about the heart has you running ragged?
I love Jon, I really do but I'm not in love him and I don't think I ever really will be, no matter how hard I try all I want is Vex and I can't have him

*Jon heard voices from downstairs. He needed some time to himself, some true peace and quiet*

He walked downstairs, one foot in front of the other like a zombie. He saw Tinks crying, he closed his eyes, the pain and anguish clear. He swallowed and kept walking, out to the forest*
*she watched Jon walk out and started crying even more*

*Jon heard voices from downstairs. He needed some time to himself, some true peace and quiet*

He walked downstairs, one foot in front of the other like a zombie. He saw Tinks crying, he closed his eyes, the pain and anguish clear. He swallowed and kept walking, out to the forest*She stepped out of the forest... her tanned skin in contrast to the brightly colored clothes she wears. she looks around as if lost. a smile graces her ruby lips as she spots a figure walking towards her.

Jon spotted a person standing there, he didn't recognize her. He kept walking past her and disppeared into the dense foliage of the forest.

Rrroooooaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Rrroooooaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
grrraaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I love Jon, I really do but I'm not in love him and I don't think I ever really will be, no matter how hard I try all I want is Vex and I can't have himVex rejected you??? but I thought... ah... I see...
so that's why you seem on edge whenever Vex came into the room... [closes his eyes]if you truly love Vex... then fight for him. be there for him and perhaps one day, his heart will find yours.

OOC: Nice plan Ju. You talk to Tinks and a puppet of yours character talks to Jon. Not gonna work though. He's hardly going to spill his guts to a stranger.

Uuuuunnnnnnnnnggghhhhhhhhh

Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh

Vex rejected you??? but I thought... ah... I see...
so that's why you seem on edge whenever Vex came into the room... [closes his eyes]if you truly love Vex... then fight for him. be there for him and perhaps one day, his heart will find yours.
I do try but he just pushes me away, he thinks I'm just a silly little kid with a silly little crush. He just wants Gael, how can I compete with an angel of death?

OOC: Nice plan Ju. You talk to Tinks and a puppet of yours character talks to Jon. Not gonna work though. He's hardly going to spill his guts to a stranger.OOC: Suto ri... (if you pronounce the name right, is STORY) is not a character, but a plot device to help people's story move along. if this works, and others wanna use Story to further their stories, then I'll share the password. it'll add a bit of mystery as to who the story is for.


IC: she watched the depressed young man enter the woods. Sighing, she continues down to the building hoping it's the right place.

OOC: Nice idea, not bad at all. I don't require Stories assistance though, no offence.

IC:
Jon arrived breathless in his camp. He didn't say anything, just stoked up the fire and curled up by it. Thoughts flashed through his head, mainly of Tinks. He loved her, but he got the impression she didn't feel the same way. Still in love with Vex no doubt.
How can I compete with Vex? She's known him for a lot longer, they're much closer. Face it, just give in, you've lost.

I do try but he just pushes me away, he thinks I'm just a silly little kid with a silly little crush. He just wants Gael, how can I compete with an angel of death?hmmm... by not competing... does Gael love him? most of the time I see her, she's with Vaga... or alone.

OOC: Nice idea, not bad at all. I don't require Stories assistance though, no offence.
OOC: if it works... it's something Me, Ray and Maya worked up. (Ju, Nekone, and Naughty bits) besides, who said she was to help you? :p

hmmm... by not competing... does Gael love him? most of the time I see her, she's with Vaga... or alone.
Gael and Vex are in love with each other, it's obvious, they're both just too stubborn to admit it

Gael and Vex are in love with each other, it's obvious, they're both just too stubborn to admit it[moves behind her and begins massaging her shoulders] or perhaps they're seeing something that's not really there? I don't know Vex as well as I would like.. and Gael even less... but I do know you. The one question you need to ask yourself is... how much in love with Vex are you?

OOC: if it works... it's something Me, Ray and Maya worked up. (Ju, Nekone, and Naughty bits) besides, who said she was to help you? :p
OOC: Well, he isn't in the mood for some woman to get pissed off at him so if she's there to get angry at him.... woe betide!

IC:
Jon put his head in his hands and tried to convince himself he didn't need Tinks, tried to remind himself of all the times he'd needed help and she hadn't offered it. The only problem was, there were no times like that. He saw only times when Tinks had helped him, when he had helped Tinks. He slapped himself and forced himself to come around. He went to the stream and washed his tear streaked face. He was over her, he didn't need her. He could build up a good life for himself alone here.

The one question you need to ask yourself is... how much in love with Vex are you?head over heels, whenever I'm with him my knees feel like jelly and i get butterflies in my tummy, I just want him to hold me an never let me go, when I'm not with him I can't stop thinking about him, he's the last thing I think about before I fall asleep at night and the first thing i think about when I wake up in the morning

head over heels, whenever I'm with him my knees feel like jelly and i get butterflies in my tummy, I just want him to hold me an never let me go, when I'm not with him I can't stop thinking about him, he's the last thing I think about before I fall asleep at night and the first thing i think about when I wake up in the morning[whispers into her ear] Then fight for him... fight Death for him. if you need to change... then do so. In other words... find out what he is looking for in a woman and try to be like that... use his vision of a perfect woman to make him see you. not all at once... but slowly. Bait him, lure him in, tantalize him, woo him.

She enters the club... and looks around. Her eyes alight on Ju and a small smile graces her lips. she moves to the bar, giving what looks like a private conversation a wide berth.

I don't know what his perfect woman is though! I don't know what he wants!

I don't know what his perfect woman is though! I don't know what he wants!observe... and with a few sly questions, you'll find out. Start with Gael... what is she like? Reserved, poised, an enigma, wrapped in a mystery with a riddle for a ribbon? what's your impression of Gael?

OOC: Well, he isn't in the mood for some woman to get pissed off at him so if she's there to get angry at him.... woe betide!
OOC: BTW, it's kinda rude to point out who people's puppets are... especially when only looking at IP Addresses. Multiple computers utilizing routers to connect to the Internet will only show one or maybe two IP addresses. Fortunatly, It is Me (Ju) using Suto ri now... but it might be Nekone or Naughty bits later. It ruins the very roleplaying you wish there were more of!

Jon took a few deep breaths and got to gutting a fish he'd caught in the stream. He set it up on the spit, and ten minutes later he was eating. The image of Tinks had left his mind completely and he ate. As he ate he reasoned with himself.
What I really want is for Tinks to be happy, and she seems to get that from being around Vex. Therefore I should want her to be with Vex.

OOC: Hey there Suto ri, Um....before I even get Stag(my character :D ) to meet yours, can I ask, guy or gal. You'd be suprised how much trouble I'v had with this :D

OOC: Note I only GUESSED it was you because of the name. I guessed it, but I would have no idea if Bits took over. I would probably notice if it was Nekone, all the meowing would probably give him away. Just kidding, but I did work out it was you for a few reasons.
1) Tinks was talking to Ju, only logical that you get your puppet to talk to Jon.
2) The name is somewhat similar to JuNii, so I worked it out.
Other than that, I'd have no way of knowing if it was someone else.

OOC: Hey there Suto ri, Um....before I even get Stag(my character :D ) to meet yours, can I ask, guy or gal. You'd be suprised how much trouble I'v had with this :D
OOC: Read back, Suto Ri is Ju at the moment. Its a combined puppet of a few nations, Ju being one of them. Ju=Male, so at the moment Suto Ri=male.

observe... and with a few sly questions, you'll find out. Start with Gael... what is she like? Reserved, poised, an enigma, wrapped in a mystery with a riddle for a ribbon? what's your impression of Gael?
even if I did change and Vex did miraculously fall in love with me, he wouldn't be in love with me, he'd be in love with me acting like Gael, I don't wanna live the rest of my life living a lie, pretending to be something I'm not, scared that if I be myself he won't love me anymore

Jon felt drowsy, he felt himself nodding off by the fire. His dreams were full of thoughts of Tinks....

OOC: I'm out guys. I will be interested in seeing what happens with Tinks and Ju.

OOC: Hey there Suto ri, Um....before I even get Stag(my character :D ) to meet yours, can I ask, guy or gal. You'd be suprised how much trouble I'v had with this :DOOC: you can always introduce yourself and find out. :D Female.

OOC: Read back, Suto Ri is Ju at the moment. Its a combined puppet of a few nations, Ju being one of them. Ju=Male, so at the moment Suto Ri=male.

OOC: A puppet? :headbang:
Will I ever get this stuff right first time? I doubt it. Well, puppet or no....

IC: Stag walked over to the new guest
'Ah, another new guest' Stag held out a hand
'Call me Stag, and you might be?'

Well if we are introducing ourselves my names kellarly, although this lot usually just call me kel.

OOC: I apologise, was that directed to me?

OOC: I apologise, was that directed to me?

OOC: Thought we had already met before? if not then yes, as well as being directed at Suto Ri. :D

Take me for example. Before coming here, I was open and carefree... then I learned the hard way that there are people out there who will take advantage of you. Hurt you... I became secretive... indrawn. but in trying to draw out Gides, I found that in protecting myself, I lost touch with the me I once was... and now, I am changing that, finding the balance that will suit me best. It's frightening but also refreshing.

the only other course is to just be there to catch him should he fall. kinda like that song... "best for last"

which ever path you choose, know that your friends are here to help you.

she smiled at both men, and in a thick Romanian accent...

"my name is Anna... I am actually here to speak to Ju... when he's not busy. I could use a drink tho... I am very thirsty."

OOC: Thought we had already met before? if not then yes, as well as being directed at Suto Ri. :D

OOC: I believe we have yes

IC:
Stag noticed Jon napping by the fire slumped in a chair.
'Oh dear, poor man. I worry about him. He has the wieght of a denied love upon him you know.' Stag went over and quetly banked up the fire, then took away a glass on the table beside Jon

she smiled at both men, and in a thick Romanian accent...

"my name is Anna... I am actually here to speak to Ju... when he's not busy. I could use a drink tho... I am very thirsty."

'I would be glad to oblige madamn. And you Miss Kell?'

*she slammed her fist hard on the table* I DON'T WANNA HAVE TO CHANGE AND I DON'T WANNA HAVE TO WAIT! I JUST WANNA BE WITH HIM NOW! *she laid her head on her arms on the table and began to sob uncontrollably*

'I would be glad to oblige madamn. And you Miss Kell?'

:eek: :mad: Ahem, its not Miss thank you very much...Mr will do nicely!!! :rolleyes:

OOC: Don't worry, half the people here make that mistake.

*she slammed her fist hard on the table* I DON'T WANNA HAVE TO CHANGE AND I DON'T WANNA HAVE TO WAIT! I JUST WANNA BE WITH HIM NOW! *she laid her head on her arms on the table and began to sob uncontrollably*[rubs her back while she cries]
unrequited love... wish there was something I could do for her... :(

'I would be glad to oblige madamn. And you Miss Kell?'water will be perfect... :)

OOC: Stag, he's out in the forest.

IC:
Jon stirred and got up. He washed his face again and then went for a swim in his boxers. At this moment, Tinks was probably surrounded by people wanting to help, whereas he was out in the forest by himself, with only a kestrel for company. He snorted and got out, drying himself off.

OOC: Damn, whenever I do that, feel free to smack Stag one in whichever piece of anatomy takes your fancy.

IC: 'One water, no problem, and Kel?'

OOC: Stag, he's out in the forest.

OOC:In that case..... my post would be somewhat obselete. Chalk up another mistake for me :D

have you tried seduction... not with something naughty... but more with nice...

say... a candlelight dinner. just the two of you... on the beach, nah, he might run away... the downstairs ballroom... with the door locked... with some exquisite food and drink... Romantic music.

Just you and him...

OOC: Damn, whenever I do that, feel free to smack Stag one in whichever piece of anatomy takes your fancy.

A bottle of Budvar please :)

*she stood up, grabbed a bottle of gin and a glass and sat back down, then shakily poured herself a glass and downed it*

I NEED MORE SPRITE!!!!!!!! AAAARRRRRRRRGH

*vomits in terror*

"thank you... Stags was it?"
drinks from the glass...

I don't get him on his own very often, and if i try to seduce him then he thinks that I'm only after one thing and he wants something more special

*Jon tripped over, cursing loudly he got up again. The image of Tinks crying stuck in his mind. He had to help her, he always did. He made up his mind. He sprinted back to the club. He didn't care if Tinks wanted him or Vex, he just wanted her to be happy. He entered the club breathlessly and took a moment to catch his breath*
*he touched her lightly on the shoulder*
Tinks? Can we talk? If you'd rather not, thats ok as well.

'..And one Budvar.' Stag walked off and darted behind the bar, running a glass of water and selecting a bottle of Budvar.
'There. I don't suppose either one of you knows where our good friend Jon is?'
Stag remembered Anna was new
'Oh, I'm so sorry, Jon is a frequenter of the club, but I have not seen him in rather a long time...'

*Jon tripped over, cursing loudly he got up again. The image of Tinks crying stuck in his mind. He had to help her, he always did. He made up his mind. He sprinted back to the club.

Stag saw him run in a turned back to the two
'Ah, I withdraw my question.' He smiled

"THE REVOLUTION IS NIGH!!!!!"

I don't get him on his own very often, and if i try to seduce him then he thinks that I'm only after one thing and he wants something more specialAhh, but what if... say to get him on his own, you call a bogus staff meeting, have the dinner and nothing else. just enjoy the evening together. Seduction does not always lead to sex. ;)

[stands up when Jon comes in... ]

it's a possiblity tinks.

*puts on his pickelhaube and paces aimlessly around the room*

depends what you wanna talk about
*Jon motioned to Ju, requesting some time alone with Tinks*
I just wanted to say, all I want, all I ever wanted, was for you to be happy. If you're happier around Vex, I will do everything in my power to see you two together. If I can ever help in any way, you know you just need to ask. I will respect your decision, whatever it is.
*he handed her a tissue and gave her shoulder a light squeeze*

I NEED MORE SPRITE!!!!!!!! AAAARRRRRRRRGH

*vomits in terror*

Stag raised an eyebrow
'I do not know whether to get him sprite or a towel. I assume he was let in here?'
