Ohhh shit Masque. I ain't


Ohhh shit Masque. I ain't that scared of the lil fuckers... -Pauses- Wait, is there really one? -Stands up quickly flipping her hair over and combing it with her long blood red fingernails- Ahhh! No, no spiders. You freaking ass. -sits back down taking the last drag off her cig before stamping it out- Another thing I can't do-- smoke when I'm drunk. Hahaaa, sad really -sputters and coughs-.

Don't you do that -points at him again- to your brother -cracks knuckles- OH PLEASE. I couldn't shoot you at point-blank right about now, probably shoot my own foot first. Because I'm fuggin drunkkkk... -giggles-

-Clears throat and sits up straight trying to remain somewhat professional- Des Rameux, I can try and work with that. She's eleven huh? Prime years -gives a chuckle-. Brooklyn, I used to live there. Then again where haven't I lived atleast--- twice in my life? I have a few buddies there, they might have a few connections to help me out. Don't worry, I wont let anything happen to her. I love kids.
-Clears throat- Anyway, as for payment Masque, I don't want anything of yours. You're in bad enough shape and I can see how much you want her back. Fuck the restraining order, you wouldn't hurt your own kid. And I'm good at keeping shit away from the government anyway -wink-.

However there is one thing. -looks him firmly in the eyes, her voice low and commanding- If I find her, and something happens to you later, I want to know where she is and who she's going to. I'm not going to let her wander like I'm sure she is now. It ain't right, and I know you know better. Or if you don't now... you will when I'm done with you.

Hmmm....
There ain't too many things to know about you.
Have you ever once in your lifetime that you can remember, ever cared or loved your brother. Even for an instant...?
Oh shut that hole in your face, I'm not going to say a goddmaned thing to him about it. But I want to know for my own selfish--- SELFISHNESS.

-represses a snort of


-represses a snort of laughter as she frantically combs through her hair, and again as she coughs- You're pathetic, hun. I won't hold it against you, because god knows I'm in no place to talk. But really. -shuts up and take another drink, smiling- Yeah, you aren't scaring me too much at the moment. I can throw spiders at you, if that suits you better.

Mhmm, at least, I think I think that's where she'd be- Brooklyn. Big goddamn place though, in't it? She could've been taken to Tallahassee for all I know. Don't know where's she's living- somebody had better be putting a goddamn roof over her head....Hm. Guess that should be me, huh? I don't think I'll ever be good with kids, but hey, if she's got nowhere else to go, I'll take her in.
Hah. You love kids? That's a new one. -grins- Come on, babe, I've gotta owe you something for your time, especially if nothing turns up. I'm sure as hell you've got better things to do than go looking for illegitimate children in your spare time.
-puts out cigarette and stares down at the table pensively, ruffling his hair-
Well...I have no idea what's gonna happen with me. Not a clue. I guess, I can hope to be around at least until she's 18 and can take care of herself. That seems uh...unlikely. I guess I need to look into other options- maybe...maybe, if I start gettin' close to the end, I'll just make sure she goes up for adoption. Something like that. I'm not sure anyone I know will want to take her.


Pfft. Your selfishness causes me a whole lotta torment, you know that? -grins, and rolls his eyes-
I don't know. I could easily say no, but I might be lying. Not like you'd be able to tell. But then, you'd probably assume I'm lying anyway, if I did say no. So I pretty much have to say yes, right?
Well...I wouldn't call it "love" or "care", but I guess there's a few times where I...sort of....didn't hate him. -cringes as if it hurts to say- He wasn't so bad at first, I guess, back when I wasn't such a pain in the ass. I bet you could dig up a photo of me holding him as a baby; good blackmail material, I might add. And besides, just recently he was possessed by god knows what and payed $7,200 to bail my ass out of county for my DUI. So, I guess I'm thankful for that. I don't know why he would give a shit about me and the trouble I get into, but christ, I'd still be in a cell if he didn't.
Hm, anyway. Enough about my shitty excuse for a family, yell me more about yours. You got any siblings?


Mmm, pathetic, that's a new

Mmm, pathetic, that's a new one. Have to remember you said that when I'm in a position to shoot you.

Yes, big place. I'll look in all those damned churches first -shudders-. They're always willing to throw out their hospitality so freely to anyone who wants it. It's so damn sad. I'm a fast traveller, an' I have some good people on my side. and Ex-FBI agent who has a lot of connections... I wouldn't worry about it, the government's got me on every list they have, and none of them have found me yet, life's pretty damn boring when running from the best-of-the-best is just not that challenging anymore.

Adoption huh? Might be the best way to go really, for the kid -looks down-. We'll have to see when the time comes. You sure you can't give her to anyone you know--?

Yeah, it's beyond me why he'd do that for you really. If I were him I'd just let you rot in there. But that's just me. Just be thankful you have someone like him to put up with your shit Masque. Same with Tuna...

-Takes in a deep sigh and chugs the rest of her bottle- Oooh, fucking piss on it who cares anymore. As soon as he knew I was in touch with my father he joined the British navy and set out on the water looking for both of us... dad didn't get away in time, and he made me swear to him never to sail again. I was twenty. I broke that promise when I knew my own fucking worthless brother had killed him, and I became Captian Scarlet Coat. When I finally found him he cried and squealed like a little girl when I held my knife to his skinny neck. I told him if he ever came looking for me again I would make sure he saw his throat being eaten by his own dogs.

Didn't stop him. You see, worthless people are so fucking stupid, to actually knock some sense into their worthless skulls you'd have to kill them, and for me that was a lesson worth teaching to a live audience. He tried all the tricks in the book to catch me, and for awhile it was funny to watch him stuggle to get me. Then he did. He had me interrogated and framed for some other scumbag's dirt work. Hours of flogging went by until I escaped and made sure I choked every last apology and tear from his pasty face before I did exactly what I warned him I'd do.

I'm a woman of my word. He should have known that.
What made me hate him so was the fact he was quite a bit older than me and lived with a wealthy family, and knew what had happeend to me and what was happening to me, and never gave it a second thought. He could have taken me in, like an older brother is supposed to do.
Stupid fuck. He had it coming.

Enough about my past.
On to more simple questions. Tell me about the music you like... any bands?

'ello. ^^ I'm glad that

'ello. ^^ I'm glad that Desanm and Gavin were able to meet up today. I was going to boot him in to reply, but I'm dead tired and lacking creativity at the moment, not that that is anything new. XD; Those two graves belong to Uio and Kailani and while he rarely shares that fact with anyone, I guess that he trusted Desanm enough to do so. I'll try to get him to talk for himself some time tomorrow.

Edit: Better late than never, I suppose. XD

Gavin: Hey there, De. *smiles weakly as Pocket clambers about his antlers, curious as to who the young doe is* Yeah, I know who is buried there. Uio and Kailani, my best friends. They were my best friends... *a look of sadness tugs at the corner of his mouth as Pocket settles down* I thought we were inseparable, you know? I thought that I meant something to 'em, but here I am and there they are. They make me so angry; I... *grits his teeth and looks to the ground* Maybe I am better off alone.
Fledermaus's picture

Aww! <3 Oh...I am sorry,

Aww! <3

Oh...I am sorry, Gavin. -glances downward- I can see they meant a lot to you; I bet they were real nice. -watches Pocket absently as she speaks- My best friend died too, my mama. It's hard and...it's not really fair, is it? For the gods to take away someone's friends or family, I mean. Especially someone nice like you- I don't think you are better off alone. Nobody deserves to be alone. -sighs- Hm...well I will be your friend, okay? I probably won't be as great as they were, but it's better than us being lonely, right?



Scythe's picture

Gavin: I lost my mom, too,

Gavin: I lost my mom, too, years ago. *smiles subtly as he recalls his fawnhood with her* For years, I blamed the Gods for taking her away from me, but, I don't know, I'd still like to think that I can carry her in my heart. And Uio and Kailani... *sighs* Maybe they're actually happy now. For that, I guess that I should be happy for 'em, too... *pauses for a moment as Desanm continues; golden eyes observe her curiously until he finally cracks something of a smile* Yeah. I'd like that; although, I already consider ya a friend, for whatever that's worth...Pocket, no! *takes on a more attentive stance as the squirrel leaps on the young doe and investigates the feathers tied in to her hair* Stupid squirrel, get back here now!
Fledermaus's picture

You too? Oh gosh, I hope you

You too? Oh gosh, I hope you had someone to take care of you. I am sorry that happened...but yes, it's good to remember her. She would be happy to know that, I think. -smiles along with him- Thank you for being nice to me, Gavin. I was pretty lonely for a long time, and I think you are probably my first friend here. Ahh! -she giggles as Pocket jumps over to her- Ha, that tickles! Where did you get a squirrel from, anyway? He's funny.



Scythe's picture

Gavin: *observes the scene

Gavin: *observes the scene with something of a curious expression on his face, void of all color except for his vibrant golden eyes* I found my dad eventually, but I followed some other adults around for a while until then. One of 'em, Cheat, gave him to me. He had tons of squirrels, and they all listened to him. Funny is a good word for this one, since he won't listen to a thing I say. *Pocket pauses as if to acknowledge the leucistic stag's statement; in return, Gavin quirks an eyebrow* Don't play games with me, Pocket; I'm not kidding.

CM: Well hot damn, you've

CM: Well hot damn, you've just got all the right connections, don't ya? Hell, if I ever need to have someone knocked off, I'll give you a call. -grins- Your life, boring? Huh, that's a good one.
Mhm, I don't know what'll end up happening. I'd hate to take her in and then have her end up with someone else soon after...seems pointless just sending her off to different homes. Poor girl probably needs some stability.

Sounds like you two got along famously. Hah, and you give me shit about everything I've done. At least it seems like you've got a real reason to hate him, though, huh? I'm telling you, siblings are useless; more power to you, babe.

Hm, you know the way to my heart. I love music, I've probably spent more money in my life on albums than cigarettes. Hard to believe, right? Anyway, I'm all about that classic rock and roll, a little folk, a little country- the good kind. Pretty much anything made after, say, '69 is complete shit. I'll cut my monologue short, 'cause anyone who gets me on the topic of music will get me rambling about it for hours. But really, you should listen to some of the stuff I have; I've only spent my whole life collecting vinyls, I think I have close to a thousand by now.

Hmm, tell me about the music you're into; matter of fact, tell me about any of your hobbies. You gotta do something other than killing your family and pillaging and what not.


Scythe: Ah, well that's good you found him! I wish I could do the same...but then again I've always been told my dad hates me...I hope that's not true. Tons of squirrels? -she smiles, amazed, as she thinks about it- Wow, I wish I could have seen that! I've never even heard of anything like that...like a squirrel whisperer. -chuckles as she watches them-



De: Desanm, good to see you!

De: Desanm, good to see you! Well, I wasn't around Halloween time to hang with you sweetheart. But I did get you this. -Hands her a sugar skull and a small necklace with a rectangular bone pendant swinging freely- I hope this makes up for my absence! How are you? You seem in the Spirit of the Dead!

Masque:I could strangle any artist from the early 40's to the early 60's. Except the Beatles. Actually had a run-in with Frank Sinatra. Shot him in the shoulder once, when I was involved in the mob. Never could stomach his music, all the more reason to give him some led. He had a smart-ass air about him. Never liked smart-asses -looks at him with heavy eyelids- But pretty much from the classical era backwards, if that's even possible. Maybe some Led Zeppelin but I don't stand for this modern shit.

DAMN, can hardly see straight Masque. STOP GODDAMNED MOVING AROUND.

Hobbies?
-gives a cold laugh- Painting. Anything to do with art. I also love to play any of the instruments I mentioned earlier... I think I mentioned -waves a heavy hand-.
Violin, cello, piano, harpsichord, organ -loses track-... violin.
Anyway.
And babysitting.
.......
Breathe damn you.
......
I love kids. -pauses-
Makes you wonder about their parents though... don't do their homework on who they hand their precious flesh and blood to. -tosses hair back and takes a drag- Parents these days. -shakes head-
What about you boy?
Any guilty pleasures?

She turns and stares at him intently while smirking, "B-but that just wouldn't have been fun enough. But I guess I'm off-limits to you now. By the way, y-you look like shit. What has that woman done to you?" She crosses her front legs with a grin and throws her head up, flinging her hair back in one movement, "L-Like the wounds? I-I kicked that bitches ass.

Thanks for keeping me company the other day. From the looks of it, you needed some too. No offense, but you kinda... look like crap. .. Anyway, thank you. And um.. be nice to Wyvern or I'll have to hurt you.

She is still very awkward around him. xD; I don't know why.

Feyn: He is indeed and that's why I had to Sim him over the weekend. C:

Aegle: -tiredly rolls his eyes and shakes his head with a defeated smile- Don't flatter yourself too much, darling. If I was jealous, you'd know about it. I said I'm happy for you and I know that's all you want to hear anyway, so I'll just keep my mouth shut.
And gee, thanks. You aren't looking too much like a basket of roses yourself, babe. I hear you've been fighting again. -glances over her wounds disdainfully- You really shouldn't fight so much; you're going to get killed like that.


Kaoori: Nah, I should be thanking you. Especially for putting up with me while I'm throwing a goddamn tantrum over something. Mhm, thanks, I'm starting to get that a lot. Not really feeling tip-top these days either. -lowers his ears- Pft, Wyvern's a good girl; no reason for me to piss her off. I doubt she wants anything to do with me, so I just tend to keep a distance and leave her alone.

Aegle's picture

A smirk rolls to her face

A smirk rolls to her face again. "O-Oh, please. For once in your life you keep your mouth shut. Your not happy or you wouldn't have been throwing a goddamn hissy fit." Her eyebrows scowl inwards. "I'm not happy to see you looking that way. Y-Your still damn good looking if I do say so myself." She laughs and winks. "Pfft, I've learned everything from you. I don't mind getting killed, really, thats the last thing I fear." She looks at the ground before her in an inviting way. "I d-do think we really need to talk." Her eyes glances straight into his and she clears her throat, "So, tell me Masque...W-What the hell do you have against Odin? Quite frankly, I'm dying to know why you can't be happy for me for once in your damn life? Y-You've caused far more damaged to me than he ever has. "

He seems nice enough. I guess I just trust him. This other guy, I just don't know him...eh, whatever. Like I said, just do what makes you happy and it's fine by me.

Kaoori: No...I think I know a lost cause when I see one. I've done this to myself for my whole life, I think I pretty much deserve it. I don't think I have much choice other than living like this for a few more months.

"I-I know he did. But he is like a brother to me, not a mate." She sighs heavily, "L-Look, the main reason I ask is because your my best friend." She stops mid-sentence, "Y-Yeah I know shocking. But I don't have anyone else but you. I trust you. And well if you have any problem I want y-you to forget about my feeling and just tell me. I don't want things to be fine by you, I want your full approval."

Well I know what you mean...I guess it's just about the same way I feel about you. Like a sister or something, even though it's not mutual. -smirks with an accusing glance at her- It's not a big deal, really, even though I'm making it out that way. You're right, I just need to be happy for you, for once. It's hard to let go, though...I mean, to trust some guy I don't know and let him take care of you. -Sighs- But it ain't about me, anyway. You're just doing what's right.
