We have all the amenities of the previous clubs, including a restaurant and bar complete with karaoke machine, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, hot tubs, tennis courts, a casino, a beauty salon, and a championship 18-hole golf course and, there is a fabulous ballroom.

So, stop by for a drink, a bite to eat or just to shoot the breeze.

Before my time...do tell Sage!
;)

Tish dried her eyes and went back inside.

she went back to LP.

'sorry about that' she apologised, handing him a small charm on a bracelet.

'Its a air/water rune, I was told to give it to you from Mffanwy' Tish said, dropping the cold charm on its silver chain into LP's hand.

*looks intently at Tisha*
Are you sure you are okay?

Hi Orchid...seen much of DF lately?

*waves across to Shorty and Sage*

long time no see guys :)

'Yeah, just stuff piling on top of me, iv dealt with it before, why cant I now' she said smiling sweetly at LP, she remembered that night when she first arrived when she flirted with LP and upset a lass from the club, she cringed in anger at herself,

Remember the Winter Ball LP?

Us dancing with a wheely chair, cos I had my broken ankle?

LOL.

OOC: "Shorty" :p

*waves back to Prue*

Well, I need to go and get cleaned up and change. I'll see all you folks later, I hope!

See ya, Tish... *wink*

*Hangs head*

No...He seems to be too busy to be bothered with me lately...
:(

It was almost before my day, of course it wouldn't have happened if I wasn't there. It was like my third or fourth day in FF, and well there was a bounty on my head. The Xan, a powerful alien race, came and assaulted FF. Me, Vex, Traha, and a few others managed to fight our way out and took refuge in a shack for the night, well most of us did, Vex went to another place. Thats a short overview of the whole night a year ago. That was also the first night I learned of Matthius being in my head.

OOC: "Shorty" :p

*waves back to Prue*

*grins*

a term of endearment darlin' :)

LOL.
*winks at Orchid*
Are you suggesting I'd stomp your foot on the 13th?

*waves across to Shorty and Sage*

long time no see guys :)
Hey Prue! Its good to see you!

See you Vex!

'Yeah, just stuff piling on top of me, iv dealt with it before, why cant I now' she said smiling sweetly at LP, she remembered that night when she first arrived when she flirted with LP and upset a lass from the club, she cringed in anger at herself,
*lays a hand on Tisha's shoulder*
It'll work out Tisha.
*smiles at her*

Prue...

*Hangs head*

No...He seems to be too busy to be bothered with me lately...
:(

Aw...he's prolly busy. He'll be around again some day.
Can i get you a drink?

'hope y'all enjoyed the winter ball' Tish said loudly smiling around, starting to enjoy herself.

'see you Vex' she said winking cheekily back.

*winks at Orchid*
Are you suggesting I'd stomp your foot on the 13th?
Not at all....

Just remembering that we had fun...

*Sighs*

'hope y'all enjoyed the winter ball' Tish said loudly smiling around, starting to enjoy herself.
I certainly did. Thanks for all the effort you put into it.

*lays a hand on Tisha's shoulder*
It'll work out Tisha.
*smiles at her*

'thanks' she said hugging him again.

'Hey guys, how about a dance here and now!' Tish said standing up clapping her hands.

Not at all....

Just remembering that we had fun...

*Sighs*

sounds as if you'd like to be having fun now sweetie!

Aw...he's prolly busy. He'll be around again some day.
Can i get you a drink?
Thanks Prue....
*Smiles, and holds up her full glass.*

I have one already...

Oh the winter ball...many fond memories...I think I was sleeping on my couch the night it took place. I had fun messing with the snow flakes through my powers.

sounds as if you'd like to be having fun now sweetie!
Yes....it does doesn't it...

Not at all....

Just remembering that we had fun...

*Sighs*
*leans back in his chair and smiles at Orchid*
Good times. Too bad the server crashed in the afterparty

when's the Valentine's ball going to be?

Yes....it does doesn't it...
*finally takes the subtle hints*

*looks for a wheelchair*

OOC: *shudder* Why do we have to be talking about Valentine's Day already? It's a wretched holiday.

*finally takes the subtle hints*

*looks for a wheelchair*
I was not dropping any hints my dear boy.....

Yes, the server crashed, it was quite annoying....

OOC: Thats why I had a battle take place that day last year.

OOC: Thats why I had a battle take place that day last year.
OOC: That's not the only thing that happened that day.. I'm afraid it may be a rather bittersweet or even painful holiday for some of us.

OOC: *shudder* Why do we have to be talking about Valentine's Day already? It's a wretched holiday.
Hello Gael.

It's not a holiday here... :(

OOC: *shudder* Why do we have to be talking about Valentine's Day already? It's a wretched holiday.

Hi Gael...why is it a wretched holiday? Aren't hols good?

I was not dropping any hints my dear boy.....

Yes, the server crashed, it was quite annoying....
*looks suspiciously at Orchid*
Are you sure? Last chance...

'guess no-ones up for a dance then?' Tish said, as she took her coat of to reveal a beautiful white sparkly, spangly ballgown.

*looks around*

where is Jack? Come out Jack! There you are! Let me drink you!

*takes another bottle of Jack Spirit and chugs it*

OOC: Holiday's are good, yes. Just not this one. Anyway, I have something to finish real quick. Back in a bit ladies and gents!

*looks suspiciously at Orchid*
Are you sure? Last chance...
*Grins*

OK, you sit in the chair this time...I can push you round...

*Grins*

OK, you sit in the chair this time...I can push you round...
*Cheers* Huzah!

*finds a wheelchair in a broomcloset*

Tisha, Can we have that dance anyway?

Maybe Sage can play us some music....

Maybe Sage can play us some music....
*rolls eyes jokingly and smiles*

ohh fine

*laughs and runs to the stage, looking around, trying to figure which instrument to play*

*holds out an arm to Orchid*
My Lady?

Tisha walks into a large empty space she uses the remote to turn on some ballroom music.

Make it something that LP, in a wheelchair, and I can dance to tho'....

*Grabs hold of LPs chair, and pulls him nearer...*

*finds a guitar and begins to play a rather fast paced tune*

I'll start out with this one...

This is a song about dances!

Well, they keep coming in
One by one
Man and woman
Woman and man
They come all the time
Like a school a fish
And they come and they come
And they dance

This is the dance
This is the dance
There’s no escaping
There’s no escaping
The dance will lure you in
And you’ll be sure to move your feet
Put your hands in the air
Shake your body
And move to the beat

Man upon man
Woman upon woman
Tens of hundreds of them are here
I can’t feel my feet
And I’m starting to sweat
But I don’t care cause I can’t stop the dance!

This is the dance
This is the dance
There’s no escaping
There’s no escaping
The dance will lure you in
And you’ll be sure to move your feet
Put your hands in the air
Shake your body
And move to the beat

This is the dance, the dance, the dance, the dance

This is the dance the dance, the dance, the dance

This is the dance, the dance, the dance, the dance

This is the dance the dance, the dance, the dance

This is the dance
This is the dance
There’s no escaping
There’s no escaping
The dance will lure you in
And you’ll be sure to move your feet
Put your hands in the air
Shake your body
And move to the beat

Make it something that LP, in a wheelchair, and I can dance to tho'....

*Grabs hold of LPs chair, and pulls him nearer...*
*looks up at Orchid*
Not too fast, or I'll get seasick :p

*Laughs down at LP....*

Now just you be carefull where you put your face....

*Moves quickly, in time with Sages guitar, and at the end, spins LP round, and gives him a quick peck on the cheek...*

Tish sits down and sips a martini, she applauds Sage.

She gets up and walks up to stage, sits down at the piano and starts to sing, whilst playing a simple tune.

Child of the wilderness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your way in darkness
Who will be there for you
Comfort and care for you
Learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one companion
Ever dreamed out in the world
There are arms to hold you?
You've always known
Your heart was on its own
So laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness
Learn to be lonely
Learn how to love life that is lived alone
Learn to be lonely
Life can be lived
Life can be loved
Alone.

*Laughs down at LP....*

Now just you be carefull where you put your face....

*Moves quickly, in time with Sages guitar, and at the end, spins LP round, and gives him a quick peck on the cheek...*
Naughty naughty

*spins and spins with a wide smile on his face*

*Takes LPs chair once more, and holding him a little closer, dances in time with Tish's slower, rather sad little song.*

*Takes LPs chair once more, and holding him a little closer, dances in time with Tish's slower, rather sad little song.*
*makes a fumbling attempt at leading muttering "I'm the man" under his breath, but gives up rather quickly and enjoys the music and the company*

OOC: am off now, speak l8az!

OOC: Bye :fluffle:

I'll take the stage again, this isn't exactly the type of dance song but hey someone here might like it

*gets out accustic guitar*

Oh I am a pirate
A pirates life for me
We raid and pillage and plunder, and set your spirits free
We got big ol’ ships
And we got cannonballs
And our skull and crossbone flag
Is hanging mighty tall

So! You better watch out
If you see us shout
And scurry off away
We’ll take your gold and coins
As well as your ale and wenches
That last part didn’t rhyme at all but I really don’t care
Cause I got a gun pointing at your head!

So now hand over your loot
Including your father’s boot!
We’ll be off with it now
We even took your plow
We set sail at the brink of dawn
And at noon we’re gone!

The cannons boom
The ship speaks doom
Of your tiny boat
Soon it will not even float
Will blow it up
We’ll blow it high
We’ll blow you all into the sky
For we are pirates

Now we be sailing off ‘bout now
Don’t you worry, don’t have a cow
We’ve already burned down your town
Burned it down, right to the ground
So now go and join a merchant boat
So I can make sure you get this note
On a bullet
Into your throat

Bye Tish...

*makes a fumbling attempt at leading muttering "I'm the man" under his breath, but gives up rather quickly and enjoys the music and the company*

Now then, never mind all this you being the man stuff....just relax and enjoy the moment...
;)
*Spins him round as the music comes to an end, then falls onto the floor in a laughing heap...*

That was great, I really enjoyed it!

*Loudly appluads Sage.*

More...More....

*laughs out loud with Orchid*

*looks in wonder at the first chords played by Sage and listens carefully to the lyrics*

*roars with laughter at the end of the song and applauds and cheers*

*Eyes shining, and a broad smile.*

I haven't had this much fun in ages....

Thank you! Thank you!

*looks at Orchid*

more you say?

*begins playing a slower song*

You might have hurt me you might have
Done something wrong
Something you regret
Something you wish you could take back
But I do not blame you it is not all your fault
It was a simple mistake that turned into a problem
But its all over now because we’ve patched things back up
There is nothing we can do to change the past

So do not take all the blame
Its not all your fault
If I was to put the blame on someone
I would be lost for words
It was a simple mistake and it won’t happen again
I trust you and I know that you trust me back
So lets forget about the mistake and be friends again

I don’t want to lose you because
You’ve helped me so much
The pain would be too great
And I would have one fate
To fall over again and again
Trip and stumble and to never get up
I need you because you lift me up
You help me out and it’s the best you can give
I think I might have gone crazy if I never…
…met you


thats enough for now folks

*looks at Orchid, tears in his eyes from all the laughing*

*raises an eyebrow*
Why stop?

*hops out of the wheelchair and gestures for Orchid to sit down*

*On hearing the words of Sages song, the tears of laughter, turn to tears of sadness...

Buries her head into LPs shoulder, hoping he won't notice...*

*holds Orchid close, feeling a change in her mood*

*he smiles to himself*

I've made your jacket all wet now....

We were having such a good time...I'm sorry, it's just...well...you know!

*Gives LP a big hug, because he is such a good friend...Then sits in the chair.*

C'm on then, lets start again....

sorry to abandon you but I gotta split

*with a wave of his arm Sage disapears*

sorry to abandon you but I gotta split

*with a wave of his arm Sage disapears*
See you Sage...thanks for the music....

*walks onto the stage and sits at the piano*
Thank you Sage. See you later

*flexes his fingers*

Contained in my cotton crib
Where I feeel no turbulence
The ocean sleeps upon a shelf and it feeds my apathy
But I can feel it in the night
Like rain upon my skin inside a winter
But you began to splinter

If I decide to recognize my thorns

'Cause every time I see your face in a cloud I feel no violence
So tilt the water 'til it turns me around
To my own asylum
Dry in the day and fading away in the night

I feel the sun before it's light
And it fades away into the night
I was afraid, I feed myself
I cleared the shelf and killed the shame
But I can feel it in the night
Collect the rocks and throw them over borders
To shake the muddy waters

And clear myself from hiding every thorn

'Cause every time I see your face in a cloud I feel no violence
So tilt the water 'til it turns me around
To my own asylum
Dry in the day and fading away in the night

And we grow, before we go over the window
You're just a fool for him,
for him,
for him

'Cause every time I see your face in a cloud I feel no violence
So tilt the water 'til it turns me around
To my own asylum
Dry in the day and fading away
Dry in the day and fading away
Dry in the day and fading away into the night

*Listens raptly to LP*

Oh, thats beautiful.....

*Smiles at him....*

*sits with Orchid*
Now what's wrong?

Do you miss Dem?

Weeell....

Yeeees...

I seem to be with you more than him...and you and I haven't even seen each other in ages...he wasn't even at the ball... and the Halloween one he got called away....I always knew what he was...but I thought I was different.....

*It all came out in a rush*

Weeell....

Yeeees...

I seem to be with you more than him...and you and I haven't even seen each other in ages...he wasn't even at the ball... and the Halloween one he got called away....I always knew what he was...but I thought I was different.....

*It all came out in a rush*
Whoa.... slow down. What are you saying?
*wipes a tear from Orchids cheek and look her deep into the eyes*

Do you like me?

Do you like me?
*confused*
Why yes. I have wonderful times when I'm around you.

It was almost before my day, of course it wouldn't have happened if I wasn't there. It was like my third or fourth day in FF, and well there was a bounty on my head. The Xan, a powerful alien race, came and assaulted FF. Me, Vex, Traha, and a few others managed to fight our way out and took refuge in a shack for the night, well most of us did, Vex went to another place. Thats a short overview of the whole night a year ago. That was also the first night I learned of Matthius being in my head.
*strolls in* Drat! This happened in my bookstore, and I missed the entire thing?

That's just it...

I have a great time when I'm with you too!

Dem and I....well....we don't talk much..or dance or laugh or....it's as though it's just this electrical impulse driving us together...and thats all.

I can't explain it...

*his heart skipped a beat*

Orchid....

This would be too good to be true.
*franticly he searched for words*

*Tears rolling unchecked down her face, she looks into his eyes*

What more can I do?

*hugs Orchid and whispers in her ear*
You are willing to give up on Dem....for.... for me?

I....I don't know what to say....

The biggest part of me wants to say yes...oh yes please...then there's this small part of me is holding back, saying "you love Dem, don't you" and then...

I'm not some young kid who doesn't know what she's doing....

*Starts to wonder at her own fickleness...*

*laughs weakly*
Since when is there "knowing" in love?

Stupid. This is not time for jokes
*But he was lost for other words*

*Takes his hand, and seems to be studying it very hard.*

Knowing.....well, knowing something is right makes it so, doesn't it?

Dem and I were right for each other...I know it...but now....

*Turns his hand over, and studies his palm.*

I know that you make me laugh, and that is important....

*Looks him deep in the eyes*

OK...if you want me to...I'll tell him next time we meet....

*Hugs LP*

*takes her hand in his*
Tell him.... what?

*his other hand trembled and he tries hard to suppress it, but instead his voice started trembling too*
I want you to be you. Do what you feel is right.

Tell him that...that...

*Looks down at their hands that are intertwined*

He and I are not a couple any more.

I want to do it...

I want to tell him that you and I.....

Are...friends?

*Looks up at him under her lashes....*

*he clenches his eyes shut*
Oh Lord. Oh Mother Nature. Oh Jolly Roger. Don't EVER let me wake up

*a tear of joy escaped his left eye*

*reopens his eyes*
My God

...Orchid...
*it was all he could say*

*Smiles at him*

Are you pleased?

Beyond my dreams.

*he slurred the words out, the world didn't exist anymore*

And you?

*She beamed at him*

Yes...oddly enough, I feel as though I'm floating....hold onto my hand so that I don't float away on a big cloud.....

:D

*does what she asks*

If I were to drown in your eyes right now, would you kindly give me mouth-to-mouth? ;)
*laughs like he never laughed before, happier than ever, not a concern in the world, just two people*

Oh you....

*Gives him a little push....*

I might do...but I can't remember how it goes....

*his eyes widen*
Is she implying what I think she's implying?

Erm... Weeell..... First we'd have to be a bit closer

*Wiggles herself a little bit closer to him*

Yes?

Then you make sure to approach at the right angle
*tilts his head*

*Giggles*

Which way do I tilt?

Ah .....ok....like this.

And then you do what feels right.

*leans in*

*Puts an arm around his neck, and pulls his face close to hers, and kisses him gently....

Then moves away from him, here eyes as big as saucers....*

OMG....that was....wonderful.....

OOC
I have to go now
:(
Sent you a TM

*takes a few moments to recover*
You're supposed to blow air into my lungs actually, but if this doesn't get a man to live again, I don't know what will.

*lays a warm hand on her neck and strokes her cheek with his thumb*
Thank you.

OOC: good night Orchid ^-^

OOC: good night Orchid ^-^
:fluffle:
Night

*watches Orchid leave*

*a huge smile was now the main feature of his face. Lazily he wandered around the club, rediscovering everything in brighter colours and pleasant music*

*In a haze he noticed his feet carrying him to bed. He barely noticed the feel of the blankets as he went asleep with a big sigh*

*Vex watched from the shadows, a tear rolling down his cheek. he was so happy to see the two of them enjoying each other's company, yet completely dismayed at his own inability to find true love. he wondered why he always seemed to screw everything up? he wondered if it was even worth the effort any more...*

*he took a bottle of gin and a bucket of ice from the bar, and rode the elevator up to the third floor. he entered his suite and locked the door behind him...*

*enters the club, oblivious to all* *sits at the bar and leans her head on her elbow, sighing and staring at the wall*

*Descends from his room into the maing lobby. He looks bored, and has his guitar with him again. He quietly maxes a drink, then he sets a stool on the stage in front of the piano, and places his drink and coaster on top off it. Next the guitar case opens, and out comes a beautiful dark brown instrument, with honey colored highlights. He sits at the piano and carefully tunes. He stands moves to the front of the stage and begins to play. A haunting but somehow familier melody emerges. Just as the patrons of the club begin to recognize it through his arragnment a clear baritone voice comes from his lips*

"Hello darknes my old friend
I've come to speak with you again..."

Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping..
And the vision, that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Echos in the sounds of silence..

Forgive me for intruding. That's one of my favorite songs.

*seems to appear from the shadows near the bar*

*Walks in slowly and looks around, with half a smile on her face*

Geese, it's sure been awhile...

Sexc! How are you?

*seems to appear from the shadows near the bar*

*nods in agknowledgement(sp?) but continues to sing through the end of the song. After the last chord has finished ringing through the room he sets his guitar in it's case by the piano, picks up his drink and moves to a nearby booth where he begins to hum quietly. A small notebook comes out of his pocket and he begins to write. He seems to earase as often as he writes*

Sexc! How are you?

Not bad, yourself? Feels like its been forever since i was last here. Never get the time anymore.

*yawns*

Seriously. But then again, my schedule has been really wierd lately. And it's about to get wierder because of recent..complications.

*After a few minutes he fineshes his scribbling, and stands up, looking supremely nervous. He walks over to Gael*
Has anyone ever told you that you have a good voice? A bit unique, but there is nothing wrong with that. I mean look at Louis Armstrong. Anyways, thanks for showing some appreciation of my music. It doesn't happen often. And what do you think of my arragnment?
*The more he talks, the more nervous he becomes, and he seems to be talking to try and cover it*

Seriously. But then again, my schedule has been really wierd lately. And it's about to get wierder because of recent..complications.

Complications? Boy don't I know that word well. And they always seem to appear at the worst times don't they? Actually I came in here looking for someone I hadn't seen in a while, but he doesn't appear to be around... :(

I woudn't exactly call an Irish lilt "unique..." You're arrangement was very good. Wonderfully done.

Heh. You have no idea. But I don't really want to bring it up around here until I know what's up for sure.

Trust, I would probably understand alot more then you think. But anyways... You Haven't seeen demonic furbies recently have you???

I woudn't exactly call an Irish lilt "unique..." You're arrangement was very good. Wonderfully done.
Unique for the style. And thankyou. *retreats nervously back to his booth, grabbing his guitar on the way. Once he reaches his seat the notebook apears again, and he begins quietly strum his guitar while hummin, occasionally back tracking and changing things.*

*arches a brow after the musician and turns back to Sexc*

Trust, I would probably understand alot more then you think. But anyways... You Haven't seeen demonic furbies recently have you???
That's debatable. And he was around a few days ago. Not very often though.

*arches a brow after the musician and turns back to Sexc*


That's debatable. And he was around a few days ago. Not very often though.

Damn. Well if you do see him, please tell him I'm looking for him. He and I used to be really close, we were even togeher for awhile till I went away for a month and he got with Wild Orchid. Or whatever her name is. But Reading back a few pages, seems she's about to ditch him so I was thinking maybe i could talk to him. Hang out with him again.

*walks into the bar*

Ouch! Gotta clean these glasses..

Yeah, I remember all that. I thought they stopped dating? I dunno. It's so hard to keep track around here. Things change like the wind. But yes, if I see him, I'll let him know.

You might like Orchid if you get to know her, though. She's a really great girl.

*walks into the bar*

Ouch! Gotta clean these glasses..
You.

*glares*

You.

*glares*


Oh oh.. :eek:

Guinness?

Oh oh.. :eek:

Damn, what did you do wrong?

Well it's nice to meet you anyways... :)

Thank you, nice to meet you as well. I should have said goodbye, but I was on a mission. It was rather rude of me. I wonder if the glare will subside..

I'm forming a union, trying to...

guess not...

I better go, sorry if I wet-blanketted the party..

*walks in*

*looks around and waves*

'Hiya!' Tish said, getting up from her piano after playing a singing a song she wrote.

she elegantly stepped down to see the new person, she hadnt seen before.

Entering the main ballroom, Anna hoisted her Lyre and sat at the stage, tuning it.

the Jingling of her jewerly seems to sound like tiny cymbals and rattles as she works her fingers over the strings... a slow tune begins to fill the rooms.

*Entered the club with a wrist strap and glove over his left hand and sits at the bar and puts his hand in some ice*

Ahhhhhhhhh, so much better!

*comes down from his room, eyes dreamy, clothes messy as if he had slept in them*

*half-singing*
Good morning Kel. How's the hand?

*walks downstairs bleary eyed. His stomach ached more than ever, he was missing Tinks dreadfully, but he put on a brave face and crossed to the bar. Pouring himself a beer he walked over to talk to LP*
Morning LP, hows life?

[in a soft lilting voice, Anna sings.]

We pride ourselves with our well stocked shelves
Wine from Paris and Whiskey from Cob
Any world you can think of we carry the drink of
We serve the World at Paradise Club

The bartender’s Asian, Junii is his name
Killed a dozen men from a Company they claim
The barmaid’s a gentle, elegant lass,
As long as you keep your hand on your glass

The Mods will drop by every hour or two
Just to keep the place quiet and belt down a few.
If a fight breaks out then they’re always in
Unfortunately they seldom win.

Now the pride of course is the Customer Core
They’ve been drinking here for a year maybe more
They make good money and they know how to spend
And if you got troubles there are no finer friends

Now the company’s men Junii had killed
Had sent up two hitmen to deliver their will
But when they tried to take him His friends barred the way
And to everyone’s surprise the Mods saved the day

Wait cried the Admin, I’m not for your plan
This here is a Mod-base you can’t take the man.
The Company may want him but he’s our personnel
The Mods own this bar you can all go to Hell!

We pride ourselves with our well stocked shelves
Wine from Paris and Whiskey from Cob
Any world you can think of we carry the drink of

Morning LP, hows life?
Oh man. It's as good as it gets right now.

*looks at Jon*
But I think you disagree, no?

*comes down from his room, eyes dreamy, clothes messy as if he had slept in them*

*half-singing*
Good morning Kel. How's the hand?

Gettin better, still very sore...

hows you?

*examines LPs face*
Hmm, silly grin, excess happiness.... who is it?

*laughs at Jon*
Still ye good olde lad under the Jolly Roger.

*with a big grin he searches the bar for a mug of milk*

Smiling to herself, she jots down the lyrics and the notes and puts them on the bar with an Envelope with the words "For Ju" written on it.

Then shouldering her bag and Lute, she walks out of the club and into the woods.

*examines LPs face*
Hmm, silly grin, excess happiness.... who is it?

Thats what i want to know!

*drinks from the mug*
What? Can't a man be happy?

A man can be happy, but to be as happy as you are it would have to involve a woman. So lets think Kel.
Tinks X (she's not here)
Gide X (I would really hope not)
Sparren - (possibly)
Orchid X (she's with Dem)


So the votes say SParren!

OOC: Jon has no idea its Orchid. Bad RPing to claim to know.

*he held his breath shortly at Orchids name*

Who's Sparren?

Very funny LP, you trying to tell me its Gide? You better hope Ju doesn't find out.

I'm not telling. It's a delicate matter.

*grins wickedly*

I'm not telling. It's a delicate matter.

*grins wickedly*
*pours a guinness and holds it just out of LP's reach*
What were you saying?

*pours a guinness and holds it just out of LP's reach*
What were you saying?
Sorry mate

*drinks his milk defiantly*

You're not breaking my spirits today

OOC: gotta go get some bread for breakfast/lunch. Be back in half an hour

Comes downstairs... reads the letter on the bar. with a smile he looks over the songsheet.

crumpling the letter, he tosses it into the fireplace.


Hey guys... how's it hanging?

Well with LP i think you could say it was free and easy....

I'm good other than the hand...

*Pulls it out of the ice*

*Goes to the bar and comes back with a light green liquid that is lightly smoking*
here drink this. Anna said it should help with the healing.

*Looks at it quizzically*

Looks like something i used to play with in chemistry...either that or something a bond villian gets thrown into... :D cheers

*Downs it in one*

hmmmmmm....interesting

*cough*

now... if I did it right... there shouldn't be any burning sensation... :D

[Laughs at the look on Kel's face.]

OOC: that was interesting... didn't quite go as planned but interesting none the less.

:eek: :D Nope no burning, just a smooth warm sensation...well let it have its effects later.

OOC: how do you mean interesting? the drink or the events of yesterday?

OOC: how do you mean interesting? the drink or the events of yesterday?OOC: Yesterday... Suto ri is a tool... one I hope others will use to help enhance their RP stories. Anna was suppose to buy it but thanks to the way the story turned, she didn't. Using Suto ri helps ad to the mystery. Got the idea after Tisha's former pimp/owner/boyfriend came into the club.

OOC: oooh.... cheeky puppeteer

IC:
Hello Ju
*a wide smile nearly split his face in two*

OOC: Yeah, i liked it when mordred did the little backstabbing thing. Was good fun, if a little hectic at times. little swine didn't let me use my sword dammit!!! :mad: :D

hey LP... I reconized that look... had it myself lot of times recently. how's Narobi?

OOC: if anyone wants to use Suto ri (japanese pronounciation of Story) let me know I'll give you the password.

Narobi who?
*confused*
Why do you guys ask me about persons I don't know?

Narobi who?

Now now, Ju. A gentleman does not brag.

You of all people should know

Now now, Ju. A gentleman does not brag.

You of all people should know

He's right, a gentleman does not brag, but when you are not a gentleman and sit there with a grin wider than an humvee on your face you get the feeling that well, maybe....hmmmmm, i personally have no idea...but making assumptions is fun!

Now now, Ju. A gentleman does not brag.

You of all people should knowLOL still got the amneisa huh?

*laughs out loud*
Maybe it's for the better. I've been told somethings....

Seriously Kel. Thanks for yesterday... if you ever need my help, call me.

Seriously Kel. Thanks for yesterday... if you ever need my help, call me.

Not a problem. I am sure there will be a time when something similar happens with the roles reversed...then i am going to count on you. Until then, i am going to count on these...

*Pats the revolver and the sword at his waist*

*looks surprised at Kel*
I thought you were a swordsman?

*looks surprised at Kel*
I thought you were a swordsman?

I am, but if you can't get close you have to improvise...

*points to revolver*

...improvisation ;) :D It certainly helped yesterday!

Hahaha. It helped me too :D

Hahaha. It helped me too :D*raises eyebrow*

I sense a tale worth telling here...

*raises eyebrow*

I sense a tale worth telling here...

...

[sees Gides]

err.... [Smiles sheepishly]

barmaid eh?
and who would that be?

*looks up*
Hey Gide... Not me, I hope

barmaid eh?
and who would that be?I think Anna had you in mind when she wrote this... (makes room on the piano bench for her)

Been spending time with Anna again eh?
*stays where she iss*

well she did tell me she was leaving this morning... are you jelous?
[stands up and walks towards her]
there is nothing to be jelous of... really.
[goes down on one knee infront of her]
honestly.

Not a confrontation I want to witness
*quickly grabs his coat*
See you all later

*goes for a long walk outside, enjoying the winter wonderland*

well she did tell me she was leaving this morning... are you jelous?
[stands up and walks towards her]
there is nothing to be jelous of... really.
[goes down on one knee infront of her]
honestly.
no......

*turns her head away*

*still on one knee.* :(

*Grabs his cloak and heads to the door*

Ohhhhh, snow...

*Steps out of the door*

*still on one knee.* :(
I'm really not jealous.....
*turns her face to him, but doesnt look up*

good... because I was...

what? when?
*startled, puts her hand up to his face*

[takes a deep breath.]
there are times when you seem so... vulnerable. I just wanna protect you. Hold you tight and sheild you from all that would hurt you, but when I try, you show a strength that makes mine pale by comparison. I was jelous when others come for you for help because of that strength... the same strength, for some reason, you're afraid to show me.

Anna came because I asked her to, to help me with the corruption of my abilities. She discovered that the taint was the envy that was in my heart. You were the first "Gifted" person I've met... in a way, I need to let you stand on your own... to learn to stand next to you, and not over you. to let you grow next to me. If I was surpressing you... holding you back, I'm sorry. Can you forgive me.

*she looked down at her own hands, a cloud of tears blurring her vision.
its my fault, its my fault......
*She suddenly went back.....
He lifted her chin roughly.
"This will be your husband. And we wont even have to worry about more freaks, he's impotent."
She glared as mightily as she dared, and he caught it. He gave her a swift kick in the ribs.
"Even with all thats happened, you're spirit remains true. Too bad you're body isnt, you Untrue, you mongrel."
He handed her unceremoniously to the harsh looking man.
"Take her, she's not worth my time......"

*the tears dropped steadily, and she wished herself away, fading from his view and appearing in the tree by the ocean, a lone willow that withstood the winds and drank up her tears as she spent herself*

*the tears dropped steadily, and she wished herself away, fading from his view and appearing in the tree by the ocean, a lone willow that withstood the winds and drank up her tears as she spent herself* :( guess that's my answer...
[turns back to the piano and gathers the score.]
well, at least she didn't slap you...


ooc: I am assuming the Willow by the ocean is not in view of the club.

OOC: Only from a certain point....she saw it first from her room

IC: *She knew her abrupt leaving would hurt Ju....
maybe its better.......
She started to cry harderr*

*he holds the leather strap embrazened with a sigil that Anna left behind.*
Clan Acceptance... maybe I should've presented this to her first...

*comes back in, her face extremely white, and just stands there, unsure what to do*

I'm.......sorry.......I'm so sorry.....
*her eyes well up again*

*goes over to embrace her*
me too... I'm sorry for all the stupid things I've done.

I didnt think I could hurt you........damn powers......dont hate me please.....

I didnt think I could hurt you........damn powers......dont hate me please.....I don't hate you. Never did. Never will.

*looks up at himm, and pulls his lips down to meet hers, fervently trying to find the answer in the kiss*

*Kisses her... and puts his heart into it. but not forceful... a brush to ask for permission... to wait for acceptance.*

*molds her body to his, as the kiss takes over, and she pours everything into it*

*opens his mind and lets her in to feel the full emotion in him.*

me thinks we should retire to start the day anew.

*smirks*
what did you have in mind?

;)

???

*lifts her up into his arms and takes her upstairs...*

ooc: oh........http://67.18.37.16/html/emoticons/happy.gif

[carrying on to the activites in PSP]

Ooc: Psp?

*Walks back into the club to see junii and gide gone*

Well, stuffs not broken so it must be good.

*Flips the hood on his cloak over his head and fills his hip flask from a whiskey bottle behind the bar, turns, smiles, and walks out of the door into the falling snow*

*walks in from her room stretching and yawns* hey guys

*walks downs stairs in her black silk robe* hello lil can I get you anything?
