*Vicki had been out hunting when she finally returned to the barge. She hadn't been there in a couple nights, but she'd missed Shariq and she boarded the barge looking for him after not finding him at his club*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:00:52 PM)
*One of his ghouls would be up above and nod to her as she came on board, letting her know he's down below*

Vicki Pride (Dec 13, 2010 8:01:41 PM)
*She thanked the ghoul and slipped below. She removed her coat revealing the elegnant dress underneath.*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:05:50 PM)
*Shariq is in the main room, sitting at his table, several pottery tools around him as he shapes some small scupltures of snakes and such*

Vicki Pride (Dec 13, 2010 8:06:15 PM)
*She entered the room.* Good evening. "She said softly*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:09:03 PM)
*Smiles as he looks over at her* My my... you look stunning... *Stands and wipes off his hands on a cloth* To what do I owe this good fortune?

Vicki Pride (Dec 13, 2010 8:09:40 PM)
*She gazed to him as he stood.* Well...I guess you could say I missed you."

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:12:52 PM)
*Takes her hands and kisses the backs of them* I've missed you too.... more than you know.

Vicki Pride (Dec 13, 2010 8:14:23 PM)
*She smiled a bit to him and slid her arms around him, hugging him.* Its nice to know I've been missed

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:15:52 PM)
*Pulls her close and kisses her deeply*

Vicki Pride (Dec 13, 2010 8:16:19 PM)
*She purred and closed her eyes and returned his kiss, losing herself in the moment.*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:17:01 PM)
*Runs his tongue along hers, holding her close against him in a passionate embrace*

Vicki Pride (Dec 13, 2010 8:17:42 PM)
*She moaned and traced her hands over his chest lightly as her tongue danced with his*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:18:18 PM)
mmmm... *Breaks the kiss after several moments, but doesn't pull away* How have you been?

Vicki Pride (Dec 13, 2010 8:20:18 PM)
*She gazed up at him.* Ive been alright. Been working to keep my mind off things.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:22:48 PM)
*Nods and kisses her again, not able to get enough of her really* I see... well... if there is anything I can do to help let me know.

Vicki Pride (Dec 13, 2010 8:23:15 PM)
*She gazed to him* The pleasure of your company helps more than you could ever know

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:27:55 PM)
*Gently caresses her cheek and smiles* tell me what you desire.

(dumb chat)

Vicki Landon OOC (Dec 13, 2010 8:30:56 PM)
*She gazed up into his eyes* Perhaps a night...a day of sleeping in your arms...Perhaps longer, for as long as you'll let me..."

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:33:22 PM)
We have an eternity. *Kisses her again*

Vicki Landon OOC (Dec 13, 2010 8:33:56 PM)
*She smiled and returned his kiss*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:37:11 PM)
*Holds her close, still kissing her*

Vicki Landon OOC (Dec 13, 2010 8:37:51 PM)
*She nuzzled him lightly* I've been looking for a new home as well. So far, I haven't found anything suitable.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:39:03 PM)
You.... could stay here with me.

Vicki Landon OOC (Dec 13, 2010 8:39:24 PM)
*Her eyes lit up some.* Are you sure you wouldn't mind?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:39:30 PM)
Of course not.

Vicki Landon OOC (Dec 13, 2010 8:39:53 PM)
*She smiled and nodded to him* I'd be honored to stay here with you

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:40:07 PM)
*Smiles and hugs her*

Vicki Landon OOC (Dec 13, 2010 8:41:21 PM)
*She hugged him back* So, what are you're plans tonight?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:41:43 PM)
Tonight? I'm not sure.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:42:14 PM)
I could introduce you to my ghouls if you like. I have a new one, lovely creature who will make an excellent assistant.

Vicki Landon OOC (Dec 13, 2010 8:42:33 PM)
*She smiled and nodded* I'd like that

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:45:28 PM)
((Actually, can we delete that... the ghoul in question doesn't want to meet Vicki yet. *Chuckles*))

Vicki Landon OOC (Dec 13, 2010 8:45:39 PM)
(lol. ok hun)

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:45:58 PM)
Well, sometime I will introduce you to her.

Vicki Landon OOC (Dec 13, 2010 8:46:13 PM)
*She nodded to him* ALright.

*Kisses along her neck and smiles, breathing in her scent*

Vicki Landon OOC (Dec 13, 2010 8:51:12 PM)
*She purred as he kissed her neck* Mmm, that feels nice

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:51:55 PM)
*Nips lightly* I love kissing your skin... caressing it... getting to know every inch of you...

Vicki Landon OOC (Dec 13, 2010 8:53:18 PM)
*She shivered lightly and gazed to him* Zain...was never much of a romantic...

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:54:20 PM)
*Kisses along her shoulder*

Vicki Landon OOC (Dec 13, 2010 8:55:29 PM)
*She smiled to him and leaned in and piressed her lips to his again.* (I need to pause hun, getting tired

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 8:56:21 PM)
((kk... see ya later.))

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:05:02 PM)
*When she gets there the white bodyguard would smile and motion her on down into the ship*

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:05:53 PM)
*she smiles slightly and moves down the steps towards the lounge, putting her keys away in her small purse*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:07:57 PM)
*Shariq would look up from his computer when she walks in and smile, standing and walking over to her* Hello Liz.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:08:47 PM)
*she nods, returning the smile* Hello, Shariq.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:09:18 PM)
*Gently caresses her cheek* How are you?

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:09:55 PM)
I'm fine. How are you?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:10:37 PM)
Good good.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:10:59 PM)
Have you noticed any changes? ((She's fully bonded now right?))

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:11:11 PM)
(i guessS)

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:11:33 PM)
((Up to you... if not we can do the third drink tonight.))

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:12:59 PM)
(doesn't an ST need to change the icon?)I haven't tried to lift any cars or anything. *she shrugs her shoulders* Are you going to keep asking me that every night?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:13:39 PM)
*Chuckles* Well... I don't know... you should just be feeling better, stronger, more alive.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:16:07 PM)
*her eyes shift to the side, in thought before her head tilts to one side, smiling slightly and nodding to him* Sure, I guess that's right. I did get a nice compliment the other day.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:17:56 PM)
What compliment is that/?

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:19:52 PM)
That I looked radiant. *she shrugs* I had a sweatshirt and jeans on, so maybe it was...you know. The addition from you. *shrugging her shoulders*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:21:15 PM)
*Smiles and slides his arms around her* I can teach you to control that more if you want... to entrance others with your wiles.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:22:04 PM)
*she pulls back slightly, looking at him* I"m not cute enough already?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:23:33 PM)
There is a difference between cute. *Kisses her and activates Presence* And Awe Inspiring.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:25:02 PM)
*she stares at him, only able to blink a few times*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:26:20 PM)
Do you see now?

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:27:20 PM)
*she only nods her head very slightly, still looking at him*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:28:44 PM)
*Smiles and leans down to kiss her again*

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:30:29 PM)
*she hesitates in returning the kiss a few seconds, probably still out of it from his awe trick*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:30:57 PM)
*Breaks the kiss and smiles, letting the Presence fade* You see?

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:32:50 PM)
*she looks up at him, nodding slowly, quietly* Yes. I see.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:33:34 PM)
*Smiles and caresses her cheek* You'll learn more as time goes on.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:34:47 PM)
*she nods to him, smiling back* All right.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:37:36 PM)
*with effort she manages to look away, her eyes going over to the computer* What are you up to?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:38:37 PM)
Just looking at some business things.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:39:35 PM)
*she nods some* Anything I can help with?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:40:52 PM)
Are you any good with Business dealings? Finances?

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:41:31 PM)
A little. *she shrugs her shoulders*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:46:14 PM)
Well, you can look over the files I have there and tell me which buisnesses you think show promise for their price.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:47:31 PM)
What kind of businesses? *her brow knitting*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:48:49 PM)
All different types.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:49:20 PM)
*Smiles* Just some that I have learned are failing somewhat.... I might be able to get a good deal on them.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:49:54 PM)
I thought you meant you needed some accounting done or something....*looking uncertain, she walks over towards the computer*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:51:15 PM)
Nope. *Smiles and walks over to stand behind the chair*

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:51:34 PM)
*she slides into the seat, looking at the screen*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:54:15 PM)
*Rests a hand on her shoulder. There are a variety of buisnesses he was looking at and has info for...* ((Feel free to make something up that she would recommend.))

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:55:21 PM)
*she leans in to read through the list of information* What about that coffee shop? Isn't caffeine like everyone's favorite drug?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 9:57:53 PM)
*Nods some* Some peoples favorite drug anyway.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 9:58:22 PM)
*she shrugs* That's what I meant. *sitting back again*

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 10:04:31 PM)
How many are you looking to buy?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:04:48 PM)
I'm not sure yet.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:04:57 PM)
I'm just doing preliminary work for now.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 10:05:35 PM)
*she nods some, and looks back at the list* Are you only keeping them as is? Or buying their space to make it into something else?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:08:07 PM)
I am going to try to fix them up and turn them around into money makers.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 10:09:05 PM)
As the same thing then?

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 10:14:56 PM)
(are you still there?)

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:15:12 PM)
((Yes... sister is talking to me))

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:15:30 PM)
*Nods* That's what I was planning.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 10:16:57 PM)
I see. *she nods some* That's too bad. This computer shop has a corner location down the French Quarter. Seems like it might be a good spot...but I don't know who thinks about computer repairs when they're partying down there.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:17:29 PM)
Hmm.... do they own the building or lease?

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 10:18:04 PM)
*she checks* Looks like it's a lease.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:20:01 PM)
Then it won't do us much good to buy the buisness... but we can watch for when it goes out of business and get the spot.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 10:20:50 PM)
*she nods some again*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:25:58 PM)
*Wraps his arms around her to hug her from behind, kissing her cheek*

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 10:27:39 PM)
*still looking at the screen, she smiles a little, quietly* What was that for?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:28:48 PM)
Just being you.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 10:29:51 PM)
Oh. *she smiles, seemingly pleased though*

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 10:36:06 PM)
*she shrugs though* I'm sorry. I don't feel like I know enough about this to be much more help to you, Shariq.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:37:00 PM)
It's ok. You've been good enough help... *Takes her hand and pulls her up, then goes to sit on the couch with her, pulling her onto his lap*

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 10:39:35 PM)
*she smiles once in his lap, putting an arm around his shoulders* Gee, here we are again, cozy on your couch.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:40:28 PM)
Don't you like it?

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 10:41:04 PM)
I didn't say that.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:44:13 PM)
*Kisses her gently*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:44:33 PM)
Oh... I should warn you... I often have a houseguest these nights.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 10:44:52 PM)
A houseguest?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:45:00 PM)
A goddess like me, well, not quite like me but a goddess nonetheless.... her name is Vickie.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:45:50 PM)
You may meet her some night if you wish... but if you do you must show her the same respect you show me.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 10:46:12 PM)
*she looks at him uncertainly, the hand around his shoulder moving off of him to rest on the back of the couch*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:46:36 PM)
Is something wrong?

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 10:48:12 PM)
There's more of you?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:48:28 PM)
*Nods* There are.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:48:39 PM)
You will meet some of them as the years go on.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:49:04 PM)
You must always show them respect... they could easily kill you... though I will protect you if you do as I say.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 10:49:41 PM)
*she swallows somewhat hard, nodding her head slowly*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:50:57 PM)
I will attempt to keep you away from danger.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 10:51:33 PM)
*softly* I hope so.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:55:10 PM)
*Kisses her* I care too much about you to just throw you away.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 10:57:16 PM)
*she looks at him after, smiling softly, looking into his eyes, moving her hand back to his shoulder and leaning in to kiss him gently*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 10:59:13 PM)
*Kisses back, arms wrapping around her protectively*

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 11:02:54 PM)
*she sighs quietly, in a pleased way, returning each kiss*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 11:07:07 PM)
*Just holds and kisses her, in a relaxed fashion*

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 11:08:16 PM)
*she pulls back a little, quietly, looking at him* Are you expecting your houseguest?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 11:10:45 PM)
I'm never sure exactly when to expect her.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 11:11:19 PM)
Oh. *she nods a little*

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 11:16:08 PM)
*she looks over towards the door and then to him again* Should I go then?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 11:18:05 PM)
You don't need too.. she knows about you.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 11:19:21 PM)
*she nods again, looking down, smoothing the skirt of her black dress a little*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 11:20:48 PM)
What's wrong?

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 11:22:08 PM)
Guess we can't really fool around if you have company coming at any time. *lifting her gaze to meet his again*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 11:23:55 PM)
We don't have to /always/ fool around anyway... sometimes we can just talk and cuddle.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 11:25:29 PM)
All right. What do you want to talk about?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 11:29:28 PM)
You must have some questions for me.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 11:31:06 PM)
About a million. How much time do you have? *trying to make a joke*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 11:31:23 PM)
Eternity.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 11:33:10 PM)
I meant tonight...*frowning as her joke falls flat*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 11:34:20 PM)
*Kisses her*

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 11:35:54 PM)
*she gives a small kiss back* Well...are you the god of something in particular?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 11:40:00 PM)
Darkness, Magic and Pleasure are some of the domains I cover.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 11:40:50 PM)
Darkness like night....or something more abstract?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 11:42:08 PM)
Night is one aspect....

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 11:42:38 PM)
*she nods once, watching him, waiting for him to continue*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 11:42:39 PM)
Night, Shadows, Storms....

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 11:42:48 PM)
Storms?

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 11:43:37 PM)
What kind of storms?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 11:46:14 PM)
All kinds.

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 11:46:25 PM)
Thunderstorms, Typhoons, whatever.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 11:47:10 PM)
Snowstorms? *seeming mildly enthusiastic at the prospect*

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 11:49:22 PM)
*Chuckles* I suppose so... though I do not at this time have the power to produce such here.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 11:49:57 PM)
*her face falls some, nodding her head*

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 11:50:21 PM)
Well....what kind of magic can you do?

Shariq Rashidi (Dec 13, 2010 11:52:14 PM)
*Smiles* I can create life.

Lizzie Bassett (Dec 13, 2010 11:53:10 PM)
*her eyebrows raise a little* So could I with some help from a guy.
