Nysaxiope took a seat on one of the couches. I wonder what they're going to tell me. They were definitely beat up, but they were just fighting that shark guy. She winced at the thought of Aaron yelling at her about how they didn't need her. What does he know? Nothing! He doesn't know what I'm capable of! I can fight too! Her face scrunched up in anger.
(Sorry for the late reply.)
Aaron frowned as Nysaxiope ignored him, following Nykidia to some back room. He watched her leave, standing awkwardly after being left with an angry siren. He was tired, but didn't sit down. He let his eyes drift over the room before they landed on the fireplace. He stared at the flames for a moment, dropping his gaze as he snapped out of whatever he was thinking. He didn't try to start a conversation, instead muttering quietly about something to himself. Nysaxiope obviously wasn't happy he was here. So if she actually felt like talking she could, but he wouldn't start small talk.
Nysaxiope glanced at Aaron standing awkwardly. She shot him a glare. "I see you made it through without a plan like I calmly suggested, but what part of 'don't contact me or my restaurant' don't you understand?" She snapped at him. Because of her powers, it was even stronger and sharper than a normal person's would be. "Like, I understand that we had just been fighting, but that doesn't give you an excuse to let go of normal decency! What kind of person yells at someone who's making an effort to help. That may not have been my 100%, but I was still helping!" She frowned. "This is the second time in the first day I've met you that you've pissed me off. Kind of sets up what kind of person you are." A jerk. He's a huge jerk. He did try to comfort me earlier but… this is the second time he's pissed me off. I don't even get angry easily!
Nykidia went up stairs to her room and got a change of clothes for her self. She slipped on some comfy PJ's and went to go find Aaron some clothes. She could hear Aaron and Nysaxiope arguing down stairs. "Was leaving them alone a good idea?" Night asked. "Probably not. I expected Aaron to follow me up stairs but apparently he didn't want to. Aha!" She said finding some clothes that looked about Aaron's size. Maybe a little big but they were clothes. She slide down the stair railing and landed at the bottom. "I got you a change of clothes." She said throwing Aaron's clothes at him.
Aaron flinched at Nysaxiope's words as he stopped muttering, meeting her gaze only for a moment before looking to the side. "I know, I'm not good with people. I let myself get angry, and when I'm angry I don't think straight. Usually I try to push people away because I mess everything up." Maybe it was him being tired, or simply getting hurt in every fight so far, but he didn't raise his voice, "I tried to just send the others, but either way we need to tell you something." He looked to Nykidia as she said something, barely catching the clothes she threw. He went quiet as he left room for her to talk. He wasn't always just angry, he was trying to do the right thing. This he was trying to convince himself of with reasoning and cheerful moments he didn't say aloud as he looked to the ground, listening to what the others might say as his fingers twitched nervously.
Nykidia looked at Nysaxiope. "So what happened?" She said as she sat down on one of the couches. "I know you don't know Aaron and frankly I don't know him well either but I know one thing. You and Aaron have more in common then you think."
Can I just yeet in here?
(Sure. Characters are either on the street or at the Casino, so you can really make any excuse for your character to be there. Put up a template and join! There's also an OOC chat linked on the main post.)
Okay thanks. Give me a minute to fill out the template//
Name/Nicknames: Lukas Remi. People call him Luke tho
Age: 19 but everyone thinks he’s like 23ish so he gets drinks and stuff easy
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Sexuality: He swears six ways from Sunday that he’s straight as a board but he’s actually bi, so I’m open for a gay romance because character development.
Appearance: Tall and muscular, a light dusting of stubble on his lower jaw. Dirty blonde hair and green eyes. A perpetual smirk.
Attire: Black pants, a beige shirt and a green army jacket. Backwards black hat with a Nike logo and shades.
Personality: He acts super hard and tough, curses a lot. But he’s actually super sweet and cares for people a lot.
Flaws: Arrogance, illegal drinking/gambling, a habit of getting into trouble, speaking his mind, and speaking before thinking
Quirks(Habits, triggers, or odd facts): He smokes only when he’s feeling extremely nervous. He has clinical anxiety so that’s his way of calming down. He prefers ice cold showers and eats the whole apple, even the core. He hates it when people are “overly gay” and have to use it in every conversation, and when people joke about suicide.
Any Weapons or Magic: He has a knife and 9mm with him at all times
Open to shipping?: Yep! Please ask first though
Luke reminds me of Dean Winchester from the sexuality and appearance.))
Nysaxiope muttered some things in her language best not repeated in English under her breath. "Decency shouldn't be that difficult," She murmured. The siren looked to Nykidia. She scoffed. "I doubt it. But what is it you need to tell me?"
I don't watch supernatural but I've heard of him//
Lukas walked into the Casino, flashing his fake ID at the entrance. People meandered all around him, laughing and screaming. Flashing lights glared at him from every corner, the dings and jingles of different slot machines beckoning him to come and sit.
Ignoring their calls, the blonde wandered over to the bar and sat down, ordering a scotch and eyeing the guests. He was always suspicious, so he was constantly canvasing his suroundings.
"Oh! There are some sirens that wanted to know where you were. They said they were your parents and they wanted to see you. They also said that you like marked Eberuas or something like that." She said.
Lady Sinann's once calm eyes seemed to glow even brighter. Her pupils narrowed into thin slits, lost in the bright violet. The female's form became tense, seemingly bringing Ryder closer to her form. Her form was quite clear to read; don't test me, touch the one I care for and I will kill you, etc.
"I do hope you do not plan on your experiments here…outside of this abode, you are free to do what you will, but in here, I am in control."
The hydra continued along. Their minds were each wandering in different direction. However, one thing remained on all their minds; who or what had either hurt or upset Nirvana.
The thoughts were interrupted by Mylnorr sneezing again. He mumbled under his breath softly. The male pulled their jacket tighter around their body, hunching their shoulders. Their body was having a hard time trying to keep functioning with sudden surge of cold weather.
~W-w-we need to g-get in somewhere…w-w-warm up a bit before our b-body completely gives up…~.
~No, I would have never guessed~ Kirdairn sneered, though his voice turned into a cough ~Though let's hurry up, I don't feel like dying in the cold~.
"We got Eberaus out, but he stopped following back at the restaurant." Aaron mumbled. He glanced at the others, pausing before sitting in a chair. Setting the clothes by him he stared at his hands, not knowing what to do. It had been a long time since he'd been in a situation like this. He was used to being on his own for the most part. Nysaxiope was probably right, he'd be surprised if he had anything in common with either of them. He never exactly tried being social, even when he was younger. "They wanted to use Eberaus for training, and there was…. a few fights making sure everyone got out." He added, talking a bit clearer. He didn't give any details on what happened, Nysaxiope might snap at him again just for speaking. He didn't even have the energy to argue right now.
Cherry smiled. "Don't worry, you seem like a friend!" She said, giving a thumbs up and standing. She was itching to go grab a bite to eat, kill someone, bake something, or read.
Lukas was already on his third drink and wanted to party. He looked around for someone to make friends with, maybe get laid. Who knows.
I have no idea who's who so if y'all aren't busy could you approach poor Luke at the bar in the casino? XD//
Hearing the other's words, the woman seemed to relax slightly, being a bit more reassured. The female bowed her head slightly, then straightened again. Hearing the word 'friend', seemed to make her pause. Lady Sinann was somewhat confused, but then how could one blame her for her thoughts when she had never had such 'friendship' or anything similar.
"Thank you…Forgive me for my terrible manners, would you like something eat, drink?"
It was clear the female was trying to show hospitality, it was the least she could do for what Cherry did to help her adopted son.
The male continued to move. His movements were getting slower, sluggish. Their feet felt heavy, the cold slowing their body way down. They needed to warm up, anywhere would do right there and then.
~S-s-so tired…we n-need to s-s-sleep~.
~N-not out here s-s-stupid…falling asleep out h-here would mean certain…d-d-death for us~ Kirdairn snapped, but even his voice was starting to falter.
Mylnorr continued along, until finally turning and opening a door which just so happened to lead into a casino. A place where exactly certain others he had run into earlier were currently at. Though there was of course plenty of other individuals in the building. As the warmth of building hit them, their once shutting down body seemed to wake up again.
The male lifted their head, forked tongue slipping past their lips in a swift jab to the air. Their eyes were dull, but the glow was starting to return. The pupils that were once round had become slits. They looked around, becoming even more aware of their surroundings.
~Great…well, I suppose it's better than freezing to death outside~ Kirdairn growled.
Mylnorr's voice was soft, "Agreed, though let us stay on our guard."
There was a snort ~Don't need to tell me twice, too many people and creatures means too much of a crowded space with little to no room to escape~.
~T-try not to pick a-a-a fight Kirdairn…~.
"No thank you, I must be going soon. I was meaning to go pick up some candy for my sibling." She said with a smile, remembering what she had gone out for.
Nysaxiope sat up straight as a pole and clenched her hands that were starting to become sweaty. She looked off into the distance with scared eyes. It was a few minutes before any words exited her quivering lips. "My parents… I… you…" Her voice wobbled as it trailed off. "You saw… my parents? And they wanted… to see me? That's…"
"Bad?" Aaron suggested, seeing the sirens frightened actions. "I think we guessed they aren't the best people…. How bad is it they're in the city?" He asked the question, but he wasn't sure if he should have. At least he didn't press for an answer about what the mark was. Nysaxiope was angry and now she was frightened, it was her yelling to crying moment all over again. He wasn't sure what he could even do to help. He couldn't try the fluffy fox thing to make her happy, she'd made it clear she hated him, and even being tired he didn't trust himself to not get snappish. He looked to Nykidia for help, hoping she was better at dealing with this or she'd change the topic or something.
"My life is in serious danger bad. Something worse than death… they'll do that." Nysaxiope looked at Aaron. Sure, he had pissed her off but she was to worried to show that. "They're the leaders of my town and they control the siren teaching program. They have everyone on their side… and if they're getting dragons to practice on that means the sirens are getting stronger than before, probably because of me." Before anyone could question her she explained. "Each siren generation is born with one more powerful than the rest. There's no apparent reason for that, but the society around them cherishes them and honors their power. With a loss of that… they become angry. Very angry. Um… I'm that one siren. It's even worse because I'm the mayor's daughter. Everyone there wants to see me hurt badly and killed."
Nykidia went blank for a moment. Having that kind of weight on someones shoulders could crush the person. Nykidia walked over to Nysaxiope and hugged her. "It's OK. I didn't have that shitty parents but I had some shitty parents as well." She said. "I'm sorry that you had to live with that."
For a moment Aaron stayed oddly quiet rather than at least attempting to comfort the siren, not sure if he really agreed there was something worse than death. Though it seemed a scary enough thought to Nysaxiope. "We'll make sure they don't hurt you." He assured. He considered trying to start a more cheerful topic, but he couldn't think of one. He also wasn't really one to give hugs like Nykidia and didn't enjoy being pet earlier, so instead he looked away as he struggled to think of a way to help. He didn't know if his help was even wanted. "Um…" He paused, "I'm sorry… for earlier. I should've kept myself from yelling." He couldn't really do anything if she was angry at him, but it was her choice to accept his apology.
(The weekend is herrrrreeeeeee! :D)
(Yessss!!!!)
Flyn walked in and sat down on the couch. "So where have you been all day?" Flyn asked Nykidia and Night. "I've been worried about you. What happened?"
Aaron muttered something in annoyance. He didn't like Flyn, but didn't say anything. It probably would be best Nykidia told the others what happened, he wasn't really wanting to talk about the group putting themselves in danger. Especially when he already wasn't welcome. It seemed the others didn't need him there anyway, so he just sat there in silence as no one seemed to acknowledge his presence.
Nykidia began to explain the story, with little details that Night sprinkled in, as Flyn sat and listened. Once Nykidia and Night had finished Flyn stood up walked over to Nykidia and Night and hugged them. "That was dangerous you two." He told them. "And I've told you before that we can handle stuff ourselves." Nykidia interjected. "And from what you've told me Aaron had to save you on quite a few occasions." He said looking at Aaron. "Speaking of that, Thank you for looking out for my little sisters. There quite a handful." He said giving Nykidia a noggie. "Flyn!" She said laughing.
