He rubbed his beard thoughtfully, remembering the months he had to redraw it on with styling pencil.<br/>"But I did get her back. She never saw furbies the same way after that...." He grinned ferociously as Darrell walked by and taking in his older brothers grin, he immediately turned away but Jack clapped him on the shoulder and spun him around.<br/>"Hey Darrell, don't be so anti-social, say hello!" As he begin speaking, Jack moved just out of Shey's peripheral vision and mimed the words 'Remember what I said' and made a slashing motion across his throat with his thumb.<br/><br/>"Uhh hi. I'm Jack's brother Darrell." He reached over and shook her hand before leaning in and whispering in her ear.<br/>"When he was younger, the asshole got into a fight and broke his bottom right rib. Poke it and watch." As he bounded away, Jack moved to wrap his arms around the boy's throat and extract the contents of his hidden message when a shoe sailed by his head, striking the wall behind him.<br/>"Fine, run away, just remember I know where you sleep and I always keep my promises!" He shook his head and steeled himself for the final test.<br/>"And for the last side show in this runaway wreck to hell, is my uncle Ronnie. See that drunk bear in the corner? Thats actually a person."<br/>"Oh aye, and the wee string bean thats got his arm draped on ye looks like he needs 'nother lesson in not fucking with the irishman." Jack laughed embraced his uncle and laughed.<br/>"Its good to see you again Ronnie. What happened to Auntie?"<br/><br/>"Ah shes right as rain me' boy, she just didn't want to make the trip. Bless her heart, I do love that woman. Besides, somebody had to watch the pub an' I don't trust those McKinry boys."<br/><br/>"Are you familiar with the term stereotype?"<br/><br/>"Are ye familiar with the term eating through a straw?" The two laughed before the big man turned his attention to Shey, extending one large paw he spoke with a trademark grin.<br/>"Seeing as me nephew be lackin' the wits to introduce me, hello, names Ron Murray, but just call me Ronnie." A voice called from the kitchen.<br/>"Dinner's ready, wash up and get her before it gets cold!" Jack sighed, leaned in and whispered in her ear.<br/>"Now comes the hard part."<br/><br/>eferhilda 11-12-2008 06:51 PM<br/>Sasha awoke with a long slow yawn, as she stretches feeling the caress of the mortal wind across her flesh making her shiver with delight. Taking a deep breath she smiles as she licks her full pouting lips her senses drinking in all the wonderful pain, terror and lust that was filling the streets. She loved mortals so much for their weaknesses and imagination for the depraved and decadence that would even do a demon proud. Unable to help herself her hands slowly caress the curves of her body, marveling at the way she feels in the mortal realm. So vibrant and alive, "Hey there honey? Ain't you a bit early for Halloween?" came an unmistakable lust filled male's voice, making her shiver with desire. "Yeah babe. You want us to help you find your way home?" came another and Sasha almost lost her composer there with desire and need. It had been so long since she had tasted mortal flesh, to feel their soul being pulled into her at the breathtaking moment. "Why don't you two boys show me where the fun is?" she said not even trying to hide her lust. "Oh yeah we will definitely show you where the fun is...." came a hot male voice on her neck. "Yeah baby, just relax and let us show you a good time." said one now in front of her, his breath smelling of cheap beer, "Oh I'm relaxed...." she purred to him as she drew a claw down his chest, "I'm more then relaxed." her glowing red eyes opened to look into his who seemed to not even care about her eye color. Grabbing him she pulled him into a deep kiss, her tongue seeking his while her other hand trailed down the front of the other guys pants behind her. Already she could feel the heat of their souls and her body crying out to be fed. Silently she thanked the mortal who was foolish enough to summon her into this realm, this world was in for a quite a treat once she began having some real fun.<br/><br/>Shey could not stop smiling as she met one member of his family after the other. His brother she shook hands and smiles when she sees Jack making the funny faces, then arches an eyebrow as she makes a note about that spot on his chest to poke later to see what happens. Next was his large and even she had to say slightly intimidating uncle, whose huge hand swallowed hers in his meaty grip. Still his eyes were kind and she loved how Jack and him played around with each other getting a bit more respect for them because she herself had Irish blood in her, fairly ancient that could be traced back to some of the most noblest families. Once this meeting was over his mother, whom she had yet to meet properly, called them to dinner. Just as she was starting to relax a bit, Jack had to whisper in her ear about this part being the hard part. Silently she prayed to Gaia to give her strength and courage for this next part, but so far it was actually looking like his family was accepting her. Taking a deep breath she wrapped her arm about Jack's waist and then walked into the large kitchen where they would be eating.<br/><br/>Forgotten Wolf 11-12-2008 07:43 PM<br/>â€œAre you sure you are all right?â€ Dherris asked with real concern at seeing how bad Cutra seemed to have become. He was careful with aiding her to council hall and eventually just scooped her up into his arms after a while instead of risking her falling over. â€œMe? In the council?....... Well, I guess if Iâ€™m going to be under you it wonâ€™t be all bad.â€ He teased her quietly as they drew closer to the hall.<br/><br/>Once inside, he set her down softly into a seat and took a moment to look her over. â€œWait here just a second.â€ Dherris walked off to the inner sanctuary, where the mana from the Supernal Realm leaked through and saturated the air. Taking a deep breath, Dherris started to draw the mana out of the air and store it in his Pattern. Finally fully restored he hurried back to Cutra. â€œHereâ€¦â€ Was all he said before laying a hand on her and started to channel the powers of Life, focusing into Cutra in hopes to help her recover from whatever had happened to her.<br/><br/>With the spell finished, Dherris caressed the side of Cutraâ€™s face while he asked nervously. â€œFeel any better?â€ He was kneeling next to her seat to be able to look at her directly.<br/><br/>Scambo 11-12-2008 09:20 PM<br/>He walked into the kitchen arm in arm with Shey before sitting down in one of the wooden chairs that ringed a large wooden table. Ceramic plates with floral impressions were set across the table, glasses and silverware inlaid with complex curls and whorls. He held a chair out and made a mock bow to Shey.<br/>"Milady." As he took his seat, he noticed a strange numbness in the back of his head followed by a faint throbbing. He figured that it was just a headache and discarded it as such. As the rest of the family seated themselves his mother rushed in holding a large circular platter containing a large roasted turkey. As the smells of cooked food wafted into his senses Jack could feel himself salivating and suddenly wishing that he had learned to cook when he had had the opportunity; one could only live on pizza and takeout for so long. The turkey was soon followed by mashed potatoes, peas, stuffing, cranberry sauce and other essentials until the people seated had barely enough room to shift their plates and unwrap their silverware from the elaborate napkin holsters.<br/>Ever since I was a kid I've always wondered just how the hell she managed to do that to a napkin......The meal started then, the clinking of forks and knives on plates droned out by easy conversation and requests for specific delicacies. Midway through the dinner, Jack began to feel a strange sensation in his stomach.<br/>Probably that hot dog from earlier, damn street vendors. Not long afterward he felt light headed and felt heat radiating off his skin. There was a dull ringing in his ears. It felt...familiar, like he had experienced it once before.<br/>Probably from all those 'late nights' up in the woods. I outta buy some nightclothes or something because now is not the time to be coming down with something. Absently, he realized that his mom had been calling his name and he turned to faceher with a jerk.<br/>"So Jackie, now that I got your attention, tell me how you and Sheyera met."<br/>"Uhh.....well we first met a couple of years ago....it was a work thing. Whats funny, is that......" He trailed off as something in his mind clicked.<br/>No......No that.....that can't be what it is......oh God please no..... He cleared his throat and pushed himself away from the table.<br/>"I need to go to the bathroom real quick....Had a city hot dog a few hours ago and it doesn't agree with the wine and actual food." He pushed his chair and did his best not to stumble as he climbed the stairs to the second floor, taking the first door on the right, the door to his old room. Collapsing onto his bed, he felt the ringing increase in pitch and he wanted to cover his ears even though he knew it would do no good. He had experienced what he was feeling now once before, when he was still just an initiate in the Arrows. A mage had used a vast amount of magic for something they weren't allowed to know, a demon had come through the vacuum of paradox left in the spell's wake. For most mages, it could be disregarded but to those who were infused with Prime, who had felt and worked with the life force and soul of living creatures ranging from humans and werewolves to trees and bushes. Even vampires had a life force, if not a soul. But abyssal demons were creatures beyond mortal understanding. They not only lacked souls, but they were like a dark void, dragging the life force of what was around them and devouring it. The shriek in his ears was the pain and suffering of an entire world as something unholy was born into it. Then, just as quickly as the bizarre symptoms had come they were gone, leaving him shaken. Slowly, he rose, flushed the toilet and returned to the table, resuming dinner and trying to act as though nothing had happened. He gave Shey a concerned glance before he reached under the table and squeezed her hand. When they were finished there, he had to speak with her about what had happened.
