Re: [Nexus] Riverside VI
[Wellspring Tower - Crissellea's Room]
"Is there anything you require, my knight?" Genesis asks gently. "Whatever you might need, it will be yours."
[Wellspring Tower - Lounge]
Apparently tiring of the conversation, Genesis abandons the subject and delicately takes one of Naethalee's ears between her teeth, bending it a little and pricking it with her sharp fangs before releasing it. "You're very bold, not to be resisting me." Her eyes return to meet the half-drow's own. "What do you think you'll gain by this?"
She's so very close, the heat of her body matched by her aura of power and danger. There is something majestic about her, and something that hints that she cannot be claimed, that any attempt to possess her will end only in tragedy.

The merchant woman nods slowly and then sniffles again. " Mhm, orange juice, hot chocolate, a blueberry muffin, a few strips of bacon, a good book and probably twenty-four hours to get over this. " She says a small smile spreading on her face. She obviously doesn't need any of that besides the time to rest but she certainly does want it.

A bodyguard tries to put his foot in the way of the door.
"If that's the way you view me, then know this. You have twenty-four hours to decide if you to help with locating Rot, or not. If you do not, I will let my members do what they wish in your part of this city. Have a good night."

Re: [Nexus] Riverside VI
Is not! It's closer to a twenty meter proximity, if anything!
In all seriousness though, eww. Vampires are still totally gross, like overgrown leeches pulsing with stolen blood in their bodies.
"I'm equipped for that...I think."
Nobody's going to be getting an APC through, but a teensy sedan could probably squeeze by.
"Is there anything I should watch out for, then? Obvious tells that might say 'cop' or 'jerk who's just going to shoot someone and run?' Anything you might see as common sense that I'd be stupid enough not to know which could get me cut in half for not knowing?"

Better than some dress wearing, tinman, crime against nature. And let's not forget all that baby eating.
Samona ponders a moment. "Might be a good idea to have some regulation on who's going through. Showing some papers on the way through, nothing too complex. That way we can filter out a lot of trouble. As for the cops, I'll be able to keep them mostly away on this side. Otherwise, keep armed guards on either side and look out for anyone suspicious. This operation is never going to be completely clean, but just use some common sense and you'll do just fine."

Re: [Nexus] Riverside VI
Naethalee gasps, the half-drowess unable to contain a shock of sensation coursing through her body at the prick to her sensitive ear.
"I know that some things are not meant to be resisted. And that others cannot be. I also know that fleeing from danger might mean a safer existiance - but also a more boring one. I will gain knowledge. Experience. Perhaps even humility." She might be joking with that last. "But more importantly, were I to resist, were I to flee, I would never know what I did not gain - and that is something I do not abide in my life."

Re: [Nexus] Riverside VI
[Wellspring Tower - Crissellea's Room]
"You will have it." The Queen decrees, before leaning down to Crissellea and kissing her on the forehead. "Your work should earn you far more than simple rest. Because of you, my realm is increased, and your dream has been brought into reality. The strength of your heart carried us through, and for that, we are all in your debt."
Genesis stands and bows to Crissellea, and then will leave to let her rest. However, a nameless servant does bring her all that she requested, though there are multiple books, so she might choose one of her liking.
[Wellspring Tower - Lounge]
"Close your eyes." The raksha urges, her hands tracing across Naethalee's face. "Trust me. Give yourself to me." She whispers, her lips inches from the half-drow's. "And you will experience something like nothing else."

Naethalee takes a deep breath, the raksha's touch electric across her skin, and she closes her eyes, clearing her mind and centering herself in readiness.

Re: [Nexus] Riverside VI
[Wellspring Tower - Lounge]
Though she cannot see, Naethalee will sense Genesis unfolding (unraveling? Expanding?) around her, a presence far larger and stranger than her shaped body, which is but a puppet dangling from the lines of magic upon which the nature of the fair folk hangs. The touch of Genesis's puppet form is overlayed with her true presence, and the sudden, soft kiss she bestows elicits pleasure... and torment.
Understanding the form of Genesis is difficult, but through this touch, Nae can feel her true hunger; the flirtations of Genesis were the swaying eyes of the snake, drawing in its prey hypnotically. Having teased out Nae's desire with her charms, the fair folk besets her remaining defenses with her kiss as she widens the ephemeral jaws of her true form, then strikes.
Seizing some unseen portion of Nae (memories? Feelings? Soul?), the beastly raksha tears at it, severing it from Nae remorselessly. It is painful, and there is a definite sensation of loss as this removed aspect of her is devoured, consumed by the beautiful predator kissing her. However, it is cathartic as well, bringing about a level of numbness and freedom, as if she were drugged. Her inhibitions and self control are damaged and ragged by the experience.
The jaws of Genesis seize on to Nae again, less urgent than before, but they still seem inclined to worry at that same portion of her, ready to devour still more of it.Last edited by AmberVael; 2011-11-11 at 07:14 PM.

Cessie just nods in agreement with Genesis, "You probably know her a lot better then me, tell her it was nice to meet her however. I hope we can see you again some time." The mage says with another bow before Genesis leaves them with the fallen knight.
She then turns to Harnel and Takara, shining up as her husband mentions home. "Yes, I'm afraid we have to leave you rather abruptly. My dear husband seems to have a surprise for me." Cessie looks at her husband lovingly before turning To Takara with a gentle smile. "Perhaps you could lead us to the ext Takara? It have been nice being here."

Crissellea's face becomes flushed not only with a small fever but with a blush from the kiss and praise she just received from Genesis. " I... your welcome, though I didn't really do much... " She says quietly as Genesis departs.
Then food and books come. The knight of cups will slowly nibble away at the food and drinks bit by bit as she reads. If one was brought Crissellea will read a romantic adventure novel or failing that a adventure or romantic book.

Estella follows after Teq, frowning. Something wasn't right here. Who would light fire to the hospital. It's almost like it's history repeating itself. And then there's the vision she saw.
"There's more to this than meets the eye, you know. I don't think it was just some arsonist. There has to be something else."

Mouse frowns when Gordon leaves and heads to Ramiro's office. She doesn't bother knocking, considering what she has to say to be a bit more important than common courtesy. "Sir, Gordon's going to be a problem. Whether we find Rot or not."

"I don't think anyone should be working here at this hour, but I try to make sure of it." Edward replies before he lock and opens up the gate to let the fire trucks inside once they arrive.
[Wellspring Tower - Entrance]
In the distance of the tower Cybil comes walking once again, this time in the company of humanoid figure dressed in a dark purple robe with golden patterns sewn into it.
Just by his walk you can tell he isn't human. His hands are hanging in a position at his chest which would be slightly uncomfortable for a human to have and his walk looks slightly off, it's hard to tell how exactly due the fact that the robe drags to the ground though.
The creature's head is oval rather then round with small pair of holes where his ears and nose should have been. His mouth lacks lips and just seems to be a thin black line against his grey skin. More disturbingly however might be the fact there is only skin where his eye sockets should have been.
Cybil is guiding him to the tower, looking for someone which she could talk to.

Re: [Nexus] Riverside VI

Naethalee gasps, but stays still, and as the sensations of pain and loss mix with the sensation caused by the Fey presence, she almost...melts (metaphorically, of course) from the effects of having part of her torn asunder, devoured by the rakhsa wrapped around her, as she shudders from the combinations of sensation and feeling, pain and pleasure, loss and release, her lips parting soundlessly into the Fey predator's kiss as her inhibitions fade away.Last edited by The Bushranger; 2011-11-12 at 06:44 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Riverside VI
[Wellspring Tower - Lounge]
The predatory fair folk sates itself with a second, much smaller portion of Naethalee's temperance before examining her critically, a thousand strand-like limbs folding about her to touch each aspect of her psyche. It does not speak, forms no words, but the half-drow will feel it giving vague impetus to its intent, letting her sense that it desired to know the extent of the damage it had inflicted on her, to ensure that she had not been damaged so far that she would not recover.
It possesses a level of devilish amusement at her current state, not hostile, but certainly without any sympathy (let alone empathy) for it. Nae had taken it on quite willingly, even if she hadn't entirely been aware of what was coming. If she didn't like it, well, she'd know better now.
A thin strand of the being runs across the jagged wound where Nae's temperance once fit, reminding her of the loss, provoking a more profound sense of loss and pain, while at the same time evoking that heady catharsis and loss of inhibition. Nae could do anything... because that identity, that part of her that was aware of her self imposed limits, had been torn away. It would grow back, but for now it was gone.
And then, the presence fades as Genesis parts from the kiss. She smirks at the half-drow. "Satisfied?" She asks, knowing full well that Nae probably would not be. While her own hunger was satisfied, her partner's was probably fully provoked.

"I don't recommend any extended combats with Rot." Mouse tells him, taking a seat. "He may be somewhat idiotic in nature, but if there's anything he's good at, it is the art of dealing out quick and brutal death. Try to ward him away with fire if you can though." She advises. "As for Gordon..." Mouse starts with a shake of her head. "As said, he's unpredictable. He once tried to kidnap someone just for an insult. I really can't say how to prepare against anything he does as it varies greatly."

Re: [Nexus] Riverside VI
[Wellspring Tower - Lounge]
Naethalee seems to have had her temperance drained significantly - not beyond repair, but to a level where her self-control, inhibitions, and resistiance to temptation all will be reduced to nearly nil for quite some time (as well, for that matter, her caring what others think of her newly intemperate state). And there is not the slightest hint of caring about it either - for caring about the lack of temperance would require temperance itself...
The touch to her soul, where her inhibitions once lay, provokes a moan from the half-drowess as she sprawls languidly in the embrace of the Raksha, her mind feeling fuzzy, but free - and a grin spreading across her face as she looks up at Genesis' smirk, reaching out with her corporeal hand to trace the side of her...companion? Employer? Mistress?
"Satisfied? Hardly. I have yet to even begin."

"Well, it's just that these spirits are here mostly because of the fire that happened before. Then remember that vision that I had of a fire out the window, and I could smell smoke. I think this has something to do with the spirits." Estella explains. She doesn't have a lot of info to go on, but it makes sense to her.

"Unfortunately for you... I have guests. And I am well satisfied." Genesis says with a wicked grin, her form dissipating into a hot, dry wind before sweeping away, buffeting Nae teasingly as it vanishes.
Nae may have to find some other person or way to satisfy herself, it seems. Whether the fey mood of Genesis will leave her longing or angered remains to be seen, but she may have more pressing needs than contemplation.
[Wellspring Tower - Throne of Rings]
Blades of grass twist and writhe, forming silent green servants with no eyes and mouths that beckon Cybil and her liege forward. Sylvan in build and perfectly coordinated, the four servants lead the way up the tower to a dizzying height, stopping at a pair of large golden doors, each a half of a circle. Two servants taking each handle, they pull the doors open, revealing the Throne of Rings.
The five ascending circles of the throne spin slowly, the decorated throne atop them all turning ever so gradually to face them as they approach. Yet, when it finishes turning, it is shown to be quite empty. A woman in black, wearing a mask, sits on the second to highest circle, but she has yet to look up or acknowledge them in any way, nor does she seem to have the regal attitude as befitting a queen...
But then, a voice comes, leaving no doubt as it the presence of Genesis. "I have anticipated your arrival. I bid you welcome to the River Court" Her voice comes from nowhere and everywhere, lacking direction and sound, pulsing itself into the narrative. It is easy to tell she has spoken, but it is not into their ears or even minds, but simply written to be so into the fabric of reality.
"Lord Lavthos, if that is who you be, step forward. The Queen of Rings would know who desires an audience with her. You come but with one attendant, no procession to herald your arrival, bearing no grand gifts to attract my attention- are you truly the lord you claim yourself to be? In what manner do you claim your title?"

Lavthos looks in the direction of Genesis voice and grins, his mouth filled with small dagger-like teeth and steps forward and makes a short but elegant bow. "Lady Genesis, a pleasure hearing your sweet voice in my ears."
"You have to excuse my brusque entrance but I did not expect another to hold into such customs around here. It would appear I have fallen victim to the uncultivated environment I have surrounded myself with. The clients I take care of now would feel rather alienated if I had processions to announce my arrival." He explains as he reaches into one of the arms of his robe.
"I did not come gift less however." Lavthos takes out a black gemstone cut into a marquise which he offers to Genesis. "It's not much but it contains a few memories from my homeworld which you may find interesting."

"Maybe whoever is doing this is exploiting the haunting, the memory and residual psychic-spiritual energy from the tragedy that took place here. That might explain the similarities." Cierra starts to head off in a slightly different direction from the others.
