::sitting at home after her first, part-day back at work... mostly just getting acclimated, Luci was on the porch with a margarita.. waiting on Lina to get home. Sitting in the enclosed backyard, she leaned back on the porch swing, eyes half-closed. A thought she'd been toying with for a few days.. and she opened her eyes a bit more, then whispered, curiously:: Cedron?

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 9:00:50 PM)
Yes Luci? *Casey replied to the invocation.*

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 9:05:47 PM)
Merde! ::and she obviously was -so- not expecting it to work:: Seriously?! I... oh... Bonjour Casey... ::said... lamely::

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 9:06:46 PM)
Luci what's wrong ? is Everything ok? Are you in danger? Is it Lina? Please tell me you;re nboth ok?

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 9:08:43 PM)
I.... I, no... everything's fine, Casey. I'm... I'm at home. We're fine, she's at work, she just texted me a half hour ago to tell me to make the margaritas strong tonigt. I.... I'm sorry. I... I'd never used... or done... this before. I didn't mean to do it... casually. I... I didn't expect it to work...

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 9:10:55 PM)
You can invoke me any time you need to. I just was worried. I'm in the area, I can stop by. *There was something wrong, it was obvious. Something was eating at Casey.*

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 9:13:19 PM)
Is that what it's called.. invoking? ::pondering it for a moment:: Sure, if you'd like. I'm in the backyard, started the margaritas early tonight... come on back.

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 9:16:21 PM)
*The connection faded then and some fifteen minutes later Casey was coming around back. Her hair was different, no longer in multicolored dreads and down to her shoulders in a normal style, mostly her natural blonde, but with pink at the ends. Casey wore a white collared shirt with shortsleeves, top two buttons unfastened and a leather skirt with heels, her spiked collar around her throat. She seemed to have quite a weight on her shoulders though.* Hey Luci.

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 9:20:13 PM)
::she blinked, sitting up to look at Casey, and the changes, eyes going over her, frowning slightly:: Come in, cher, pull up a seat... I'm getting you a drink. ::swinging long legs out of the lounge chair as she moved to a picnic table to get Casey a drink.:: Are you okay, ange? ::looking a bit worried::

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 9:23:24 PM)
I'm well Luci. To say I'm ok...woudln't be completely true. Physically, I'm fine. But I feel like everything is just repeating and I can never escape my sins, that it'll just keep happening until I can't look myself in the mirror anymore. *Casey sat down then.* Thanks I could use about a dozen of them.

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 9:26:18 PM)
*She wasn't about to tell Luci about what Lord General Catharisis had done. How she'd wanted to stop him. But he'd have destroyed and devourered her and even ifshe could take him,Violetta, Isabella, and even London surely would have sided with him. And yet,for just a moment she wa going toattack him anyway, she couldn't just sit back and watch the slaughter. She'd very nearly made the decision to act, that would have ended her existance. *

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 9:27:37 PM)
(one sec, hands)

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 9:27:50 PM)
((*hugs*))

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 9:31:31 PM)
(okay.. sorry about that)

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 9:31:57 PM)
((You never have to be sorry.))

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 9:34:01 PM)
::pouring the drink, and she topped it off with a shot on top,as she handed it to her, and she leaned down, lightly kissing the top of Casey's head as she moved to sit down, and she looked to the other woman:: As much as you want, we've got plenty more, sug. Now... what's on your mind?

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 9:36:11 PM)
(This user has entered Luci and Lina's House) (IP = 68.113.85.43)

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 9:38:25 PM)
*She began lapping at the drink with her tongue like a cat, taking almost a full minute before she stopped, looking up, dribbling down her chin onto her exposed chest where her shirt was open.* I can't tell you specifics. Not because I don't trust you, but I don't want to worry you Luci. It's nothing about you and Lina, that you don't have to worry about. But something happened last night. Something I -let- happen. Truthfully, I couldn't have stopped it, andwould only have been destroyed had I tried. But...the guilt is just tearing me apart Luci. Just like what I told you happened back in the final days of the War.

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 9:39:29 PM)
*there would be a shapr steady knocking at the door*

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 9:42:07 PM)
::Duke was at the open screen door, and he barked at Zac, very large German shepard, and Luci peeked up, hearing the knock on the door. She got up and gently reached for a paper towel:: That's going to freeze them off, ange.. ::gently dabbing at her chin and chest:: I... it's alright. I'm getting used to being in the dark. Just figuring things out as I go... ::she leaned in and kisses the top of her head again:: Let me see who's here, but... same thing stands, cher. If you -couldn't- do anything, literally, then it's not something to agonize over. ::moving to head for the door from the back door::

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 9:43:59 PM)
*he stood not all that concerned about duke. Waiting for her to get there today he was dressed in a ncie versace suit. It was black with black button down shirt underneath, the large rolex peeking out from under the cuff*

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 9:45:28 PM)
*Casey sat there in the back, holding her drink. Her hair was no longer in dreads and cut to shoulderlength. It was mostly her natural blonde with pink dyed at the ends. She wore a white shortlseeve shirt, the collar open and top two buttons unfastened, a black leather skirt, heels, and a spiked collar.*

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 9:47:07 PM)
As for worrying me... I'm much more resilient than you all seem to think... ::trailing off as she looks to Zac through the screen door, and she smiles:: Bon nuit, cher... ::opening the screen door and ordering Duke to his bed. She raised a brow at the appearance, and she smiled a bit more. Luci was wearing a strapless summer dress, barefoot, and she sauntered to the door::

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 9:48:32 PM)
::margarita in hand!::

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 9:49:15 PM)
Whe hello there gorgeous... What are you up to huh? *he would hold his arms aloft to let her appraise him for a moment since she seemed to like the look and then leaned in to give her a kiss hello*

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 9:49:17 PM)
I know you are Luci I wasn't suggesting you weren't I know you're strong...

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 9:50:15 PM)
::she smiles:: Margaritas in the backyard, Casey just dropped by... Can I interest you? ::she let her eyes go over him, teasingly, as she nodded approvingly, and returned the kiss, lightly::

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 9:51:35 PM)
((err I thought he was at the back door whoops. assume she says that when they return))

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 9:56:33 PM)
always... *he would move a hand to her waist and follow along with her as she led him to where the party was... seeing Casey he would smile and wave hello* Hey there...

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 9:59:33 PM)
::she moved to the back door, leading Zac into the backyard. Lit with chinese lanterns, lounge chairs, a large picnic table, and a huge barbecue in the corner. A large black rooster roaming around, a chicken coop, and a huuuuuge gray tom cat lazing on the fence. Luci moved to the table, where there was a pitcher of strong margaritas, half-gone, and she poured him a glass, smiling to Casey softly:: I know what you meant.. but... I'm... I'm an adult. Maybe not compared to the rest of you... but... I have been.. rather accepting of all this. I need to hear the good -and- the bad... I don't want to watch the world through rose-colored lenses, cher.

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 9:59:34 PM)
Hi. *Casey says softly, looking like she had a tremendous weight on her shoulders. Then she lapped at her drink like a cat once again, dribbling down her chin more.*

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:00:36 PM)
This might worry you though Luci...

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:00:58 PM)
But, if you want me to explain, I will.

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 10:01:24 PM)
You know I've seen it in nvideos before but it's a lot sexier in real life... *refering to casey* What you guys talking about anyway? *he grabbed the picther and poured himself a drink*

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 10:01:38 PM)
(she handed you a glass hun)

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 10:02:07 PM)
[[oh sorry just change that to drinks then :)]]

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:02:09 PM)
Seen what in videos? *Casey looked utterly confused, but turned beet red anyway.*

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 10:02:41 PM)
::she laughs, shaking her head as she moved to take a seat, leaving room for Zac, should he choose to sit, and she sipped her drink::

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 10:03:04 PM)
women drinking like cats as it drips seductively upon their ample bussom... *he smiled and sat close to luci*

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:04:25 PM)
*She covered her her chest with her hand then, looking down. She clearly felt foolish and wasn't used to being looked at that way.*

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 10:06:18 PM)
::Luci leaned forward and handed her a paper towel, nudging Zac lightly:: Go on, cher, tell me what happened...

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:11:06 PM)
*She wiped herself off, even though she was likely to do it again, she hadn't been kidding when she told Luci she often made a mess when she drank or ate.* I was having a...disagreement, with London, Vee, and some chick that left town for awhile Isabella. Mostly it was Isabella and Vee, like...calling people monkies and acting like they were beneath contempt and saying terrible things about me for protecting mortals. Then we all felt a disturbance and long story short we were attacked. Vee called them hounds, but they'd taken control of bodies of two mortals. Vee took on her true form, in front of all the mortals. Then London and Isabella did too. The hounds were gonna fight, I had no choice I also had ta. Vee tore the first one apart and I subdued the second without hurting the mortal it had possessed...

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:12:25 PM)
Isabella had called for the Lord General. And the wouldn't let any of the mortals leave. I thought we'd have their memories erased, or we'd make pacts with them. Well the Lord General had a different plan...

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 10:13:09 PM)
Casey! *his words harsh and abrupt suddenly* what do you think you are doing?

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:13:44 PM)
What the fuck you mean, she asked me to be straight with her

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 10:14:03 PM)
::Luci didn't even seem to care, other than it seemed to make her shiver, as she knew she'd be freezing with margarita down her front. She leaned back against Zac, listening intently, nodding as she tried to remember, and then blinks, sliding from leaning on Zac as she took a breath::

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 10:14:57 PM)
Maybe you should think twice before you go rambling every little detail you know.... It is not their place to know...

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 10:16:12 PM)
::her lips compressed in a thin line.... Lina said not to say anything.... but she'd was feeling constrained by the sound advice::

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 10:16:49 PM)
Luci honestly don't take it the wrong way but the more you know the more likely you will be to get killed...

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 10:19:09 PM)
::she held her breath for a moment, tensing, and she spoke softly:: And... I am to make a decision, based on what? Myths and legends?

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:19:14 PM)
*A low growl escaped from her throat.* I told her I shouldn't say anything, she insisted. As far as "their place" I think that's pretty insulting to someone you claim to care about. They aren't our pets. They;re much more than anyone in this fucked up city seems to want to remember

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:20:39 PM)
If she wasn't to be entering into a pact, things would be different and I would agree with you that she should know nothing.

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 10:20:56 PM)
::she sighs, softly, shaking her head:: Casey.... Lina asked me not to discuss it, I should know better than to press it. I am... sorry for putting you in such a position.

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:21:01 PM)
But she has to make the most important decision of her entire life.

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 10:22:20 PM)
*he leaned towards Casey, his demeanor not intimidating but the promise behind his eyes said something much differently* Firstly.... do not growl at me.... If you wish to act like an animal I will treat you as one. Secondly Unless that pact is with you keep youre fucking mouth shut. The more she knows the more she will be at risk to be killed for knowing. So if you really do care don't be stupid about it. Let her master decide what she should or should not know.

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 10:26:50 PM)
::something about the word 'master' made Luci frown, and she watched between the two of them, sighing out lightly::

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:28:02 PM)
*Casey just stared back at him. She bit back her natural reaction for Luci's sake only.* She's not property Zac. She's a human being. They aren't monkeys like some would make them out to be.

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 10:28:38 PM)
when they sign over to the pact they are property... you should know better. Don't be a fucking idiot....

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:31:17 PM)
Sounds like -you- want to make her property to me. And watch who you fucking insult. I'm not insulting you or anyone else because of your fucked up beliefs. And I don't give a flying fuck what they majority think. My thrall is not property.

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 10:32:15 PM)
::Luci... is currently debating the wisdom in breaking in between these two, and she eyes one then the other::

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:33:49 PM)
*It's pretty clear its just an argument, Casey is making no hostile moves, Luci can see that she's completely in control of herself and not about to take this to the next level.*

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 10:35:08 PM)
IF I wanted to she would already be.... I think I am going to go luci before I am forced to do something I don't want to. *he looks to her* Dont believe the lies of their noble ends and hearts filled with love... the pact is a bond... and like all bonds they enslave you to the holder. *he would then stand* We are not angels..... we are not the gleaming host perched up in the heavens... we are fallen. Weare corrupt and evil all of us. Keep that in mind always.

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 10:35:44 PM)
(::watches as Lina totally -kills- Zac later::)

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:36:32 PM)
Only if you don't learn from your Host Zac. We can be more than we were now. We can learn a lot from them. *She just sounds sad now.*

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 10:37:11 PM)
Yes... like how to drink like cats... and thinklikes children... *looking to casey*

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:38:57 PM)
Should I be expecting a hit squad in the night now Zac? Is that how it is?

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 10:41:08 PM)
::she shakes her head:: Look... both of you.. just..... stop. ::looking up at Zac, and she speaks quietly:: You.... are no ange.. and I know that. ::said with a faint smirk on her lips, and she looks to him:: I... have not made a decision, but I do know what I am doing is of the utmost seriousness... and the utmost secrecy. I do not enter blindly, I am no child... regardless of how any of you see me. ::her hand goes to her neck, and her nails brush down her neck, like she's trying to claw something away, unconsciously. ::Casey... not everyone feels as you do.. and... I would prefer it if we were all adults about this, please. Please... both of you... ::entreating them both::

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 10:42:28 PM)
*hewould slide his hand through her hair and smile* Despite what others think I do not think you are a child... but our world is one filled with evil.... and the less you know about that world while you are unable to protect yourself the better off you are.

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:43:10 PM)
I'm not going to do anything Luci. I wouldn't hurt another just because of a disagreement.

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:44:28 PM)
Are my days numbered now Zac? *She asks again.*

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 10:44:52 PM)
they might be... but not from me.

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:46:31 PM)
So you're going to tell the other's to do it? It'd still be on your hands.

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 10:47:07 PM)
I am not goingto tell the others to do anything Casey.... you've been alive for thousands of years,....please try and grow up a bit.

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 10:47:58 PM)
I.... had a taste of that evil the other night, at our introduction. I have seen the dredges of society... at work. I am not looking into this with my eyes closed, cher. ::her head nestled to his hand for a moment, and she looked to them both, watching between them:: Then.. both... settle down, drink your drinks, and relax...

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 10:50:31 PM)
Si vous plait....

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:50:44 PM)
Not all that would look to make a pact with Luci are going to be truthful with her Zac, we both know that. If it's just left up to those that would pursue her, she could end up beholden to someone that would not be good for her.

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 10:50:47 PM)
I need to go doll.....I'll come by and we can have some fun another time. I can't be around and get lumped into this...

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 10:54:58 PM)
::she breathes out:: There is no lumping... Enough! ::holding up a hand:: Casey... Lina asked me to wait to work things out with her, and I think that may be best, for now. ::said softly, patiently:: As for you, Zac.. I'm not trying to drag you into anything. You've been.. upfront about your intentions. And I appreciate it... it's better than most ... usual.. men. ::she smirks a bit, looking at him::

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 10:56:25 PM)
*he smiled and leaned down to kiss her softly* Look this isnt at all about us hun.... but the people she is talking about are much less then understanding... and not always rational... So I need to get out of here and make sure if they look into her telling you stuff she shouldnt i'm not apart of it.

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 10:59:44 PM)
Relax. I ain't tellin' her anything else. She told me she shouldn't have and that's the end of it.

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 11:01:07 PM)
You aren't a part, if it is done. And... it is. ::she breathes out softly, and accepts the kiss, returning it:: Nor... would Casey be dishonest and insist you were a part of it. But... oui. Do as you wish... ::said simply, softly, as she lifted her drink, finishing it in one go::

Zacarias Martin (May 9, 2011 11:01:48 PM)
*he kissed her softly and left]]

Luci, I don'twant you to die.

Listen...

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 11:10:19 PM)
I don't want to either... but it just seems inevitable at this point. 6 months ago... and now... ::she breathes out::

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 11:13:23 PM)
I don't want to be your master honey. I don't want to be anyone's master. Even with Phae, I made a pact wiht her because of Tessa's big mouth. I'm not like the others, maybe 'cause of that guilt I still feel about losing control and what I did. But, I don't want you in danger. Maybe...temporarily, while you're lookin' for someone suitable, I could like...you know, make an arrangement like Amos did with Lina. To keep ya safe. And when ya find the right one, I release ya.

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 11:14:40 PM)
::she breathes out and looks to Casey, blinking:: ... Are you... serious? ::she watches the other woman and pauses:: It would save you, as well?

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 11:15:38 PM)
(laughs, tpo James just made the exact same offer in pms)

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 11:15:55 PM)
Don't make any decision on how it would affect me Luci.

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 11:18:11 PM)
But yea I'm serious Luci. I just want you to be safe.

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 11:19:07 PM)
I.... I don't... I don't know the right answer, Casey. I.... ::she sinks down to her seat, taking that shot in her hand, then speaking softly:: Casey... talk to Lina... if she thinks I should do it, after what happened tonight, then... I will go with her best decision. I honestly don't know enough..

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 11:21:31 PM)
I have a feeling Lina is going to be angry with me Luci.

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 11:21:50 PM)
Because I wasn't firm with you and I treated you like an equal

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 11:24:03 PM)
And if you do not tell her, I will have to. Lina needs to know what's happening, and I don't know enough about what's going on. She -needs- to know. And you need to tell her.

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 11:24:29 PM)
I am going to tell her Luci.

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 11:26:06 PM)
::she nods:: And... in the meantime... I will try not to think about dying.

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 11:27:18 PM)
I shouldn't have let you talk me into explaining Luci, I'm sorry. I won't let anything happen to you even if it means my destruction.

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 11:28:33 PM)
Can you actually prevent my death?

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 11:29:05 PM)
The pact should cover that.

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 11:29:13 PM)
How?

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 11:29:31 PM)
Because then you're a thrall and not a security risk

Lucinde Duboir (May 9, 2011 11:29:53 PM)
Oh... but... if they kill you... how does that work? ::frowning::

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 11:30:31 PM)
The pact would cover that too. I did nothing wrong then if I was just explaining somehtng to someone I was going to thrall

Casey Richards (May 9, 2011 11:31:29 PM)
It'll be ok Luci.
