Armand Duplessis (Dec 26, 2010 8:48:56 PM)
(Tis Vannah!)
Savannah Devereaux (Dec 26, 2010 8:49:04 PM)
(Tis Armand!)
Armand Duplessis (Dec 26, 2010 8:51:41 PM)
*Armand wearing his mortal skin made his way back toward the cabin. It was early morning but he had left before the sun came up to run the animal traps he had set out in the swamps. As he slogged his way back toward home he had a heavy trap basket containing 4 nutria, 9 musk rat, and a racoon, all of the animals had been dispatched neatly and Armand himself was covered in his usual mud and muck. This particular day was quite unseasonably cold but compaired to the east coast and the rest of the country the New Orleans area had it easy.*
Savannah Devereaux (Dec 26, 2010 8:58:53 PM)
Yes it was a very cold day in the small cabin in the new orleans swamp. By the time he came back, smoke was pouring upwards out from the chimney and billowed in to the air. The scent of burning wood and cooking flesh would fillthe air around them as Savannah had taken to cooking dinner. Pork chops, grits and biscuits wouldbe on the menu as they two were living the humble life of the coonass. As he approched the cabin, he would see her standing in the door way. Her form wrapped in a thick robe of dark blue. A smile on her lips as she watched him return from the traps.
Armand Duplessis (Dec 26, 2010 9:02:25 PM)
Good mornin *He called out to her as he began unloading dead animals out of his trap basket. Because of the animal rights people screaming about fur usage there was not much money to be made from trapping anymore, but it offered some. Armand seemed to stick to it for enjoyment as much as income but it was hard to tell if it was the demon or host that lived for such things.* I smell breakfast. How long till its done? *Once he finished unloading the carcasses he left them out to dry and out of reach of his various pets. Then made his way up the porch and gave his lovely consort a kiss on the cheek.*
Savannah Devereaux (Dec 26, 2010 9:08:32 PM)
"Good Morning to you too." The words would be spokein her quiet purrs. her body leaned against the door frame as she watched the animals fall from the cages. Her upper teeth sunk in to her bottomlook as she looked to all of the fur that tumbled out of the cage. "You should try to find more rabbits. Their fur makes the best little muffs." Yes.. Savannah did not share the same ideals of those organizations. As he approched she stepped out a little more and returned the kiss to his lips. "You have about 10 more minutes before breakfast is done. You want me to bring it out to you or are you going to come in where it's warm?"
Armand Duplessis (Dec 26, 2010 9:13:46 PM)
*He chuckled a bit at that* Can getcha some easy enough but they are really taken you with rabbit fur. It is soft and all but does not insulate well and is thin and so it does not hold up long. *He pointed over his shoulder* Any of those especially the rats *how he described muskrat of course* would make you better muffs. I usually sell it green but if you like I could stretch and tan you some. *As they kissed he leaned into her a bit more and replied* I'll come in and eat. It is warmer and I got a lot of skinnin to do today. *And because he was still what he was he could not resist giving her a little pat on the ass before heading into the cabin and taking a deep breath of the the heady smells of rural life. Cooking breakfast and wood smoke, even these simple things were intoxicating after so long locked away in the Pit. It was a myriad of utterly sensory bliss.*
Savannah Devereaux (Dec 26, 2010 9:21:51 PM)
Maybe that's why Savannah had taken to the neew life that Armand provided her with so well. The sensation of it all. She felt so close to the to creation in some ways. It seemed that the more advanced humanity had gotten; the futher away they had found themselves from the better things that life had to offer them. Savannah's world was so prestine and in a way sterile to some degree. It reminded her in some ways of the grand palaces that placed all over creation in the world. This however, this life with Armand, his beasts and the tiny cabin reminded her of her beloved oceans and the way things were in simpler times. It was alluring as much as the beast of the man that had pushed inside of the house. A grin came to her lips as she went to the stove and checked on the cooking meat. A little extra seasoning added before she turned it to it's other side. "A lot of skinning? How many did you trap? And are you planning to go out on the water today?"
Armand Duplessis (Dec 26, 2010 9:28:16 PM)
Four nutria, nine rat and a coon. *He crinkled his nose* I like the hide on rats a lot but you gotta be careful how yeah skin em or you rip the belly open and guts go all over. It will probably take me a couple hours but I need to let em dry out first. *He moved over to the sink and began washing his hands working with the soap to clean his flesh clean to the elbow.* I didn't wake you when I got up did I? *Unless he was lounging and enjoying her company Savannah had no doubt noticed by now that Armand was normally up and gone before the sun. Even if he did not leave their bed she could tell he was invariably awake about an hour before sunrise as he began to squirm usually not being content until he was snuggled up tight to her perfect body.* By the way did yeah, get things set up with dat realator to look at some places?
Savannah Devereaux (Dec 26, 2010 9:40:16 PM)
To any eyes, they seemed like a normal couple. Thtoug the small window of the cabin they were a childless couple that lived deep in the swamp. It was often a think of amazment that men like Armand often found themselves with counter parts that were "out of their league", so while it was strange it wasn't -that- strange. However if one one to look deeper they would see that it was not just a beautiful woman that brought over a plate of fresh cooked chops with breakfast fixings to 'her man', but instead it was a creature of constant shifting and pure celestial power and he the same. "You always wake me up, but I just keep my eyes closed because I like to feel you against me. And yes. I spoke the realor and they will be able to take us to visit a couple of places this week if we like. Now come eat."
Armand Duplessis (Dec 26, 2010 9:44:51 PM)
*He poured himself a cup of black coffee and then cut it with a dash of water to cool it enough to drink. He then joined her at the table* works for me. And thanks *Armand set to eating and he ate with the gusto one would expect of someone who was his size. Between bites he tilted his head and asked a question that was a bit closer to their nature* how are your memories going? Making any gains? *As he ate he pushed out a chair for her with his foot and watched her a bit out of the corner of his eye. Even aware of her real nature like he was he was often amazed at the way she had taken to life in the sticks. But all the same his last pair of questions seemed to have a bit of a leading tone to them as if something were weighing on his mind.*
Savannah Devereaux (Dec 26, 2010 9:48:27 PM)
"I didn't tell you." Her eyes brigthened the instant that he asked about her memories. She reached out to him and gave his upper arm a little squeeze. In her excitment, she bounced in her hair a bit. The shoulder of her robe fell from her smooth kin. Her hand absentlymoved over to pull it back up, but it was slip down once more. There was a light in her eyes as she looked to him. "I had this dream. It was so... strange I was in the water, but it was more than that. I was a part of the water. I could feel it swirling around and moving with me and against me.... and when I woke." She grinned and brought over a heavy cast iron skillet to drop some eggs on his plate. "I was in the tub surrounded with water, but it was like in my dream. It was wirling around me and had lifted me from the tub... I think I'm starting to remember a bit. I hope..."
Armand Duplessis (Dec 26, 2010 9:53:58 PM)
*He smiled watching her as she excitedly bounced and took a few more bites of his eggs. But of course his attention was drawn by her slipping robe. He could not decide if it was his host, him, or both that was nearly insanely attracted to her in all forms. But in the end it did not matter and her excitement was catching.* I am getting a few more of mine as well as best I can tell. *He then snagged an arm around her waist and tugged her to him before she could escape* in one memory I was working on my creations....the crustacians. And someone er something another being however one would describe us was there. But I never could get a real fix on them they kept shifting away and I really could not recall who it was, but I do know we were working together and for whatever reason the slippery nature of my companion did not bother me. I was letting my mind drift a bit while running my line this morning.

Savannah Devereaux (Dec 26, 2010 10:08:20 PM)
"Another being?" Nwo that would catch her attention. maybe it was because she was caught slightly off guard that she found that little head of jealously creepign up on her. A faint frown came to her lips as she seemed not to hear another else that he said. Her lips were firm as they pressed against each other as she settled in to hher chair after putting the skillet back n the stove. Her fork was picked up and she pushed her eggs around for a moment before her eyes flickered back up to him. "You don't remember who they are? Really?"

Armand Duplessis (Dec 26, 2010 10:16:14 PM)
*He noticed of course and he shook his head no* no, but I like to think it was you. *He answered honestly* but unfortunately you know how those sorts of memories are *he snapped his fingers* its here its gone and I have no idea what is real and what is fancy on my part. But whoever it was they were constantly shifting and altering as we worked on the interface with the water. It was not unlike I would expect from say a Mammetum.*he then proped his elbow on the table and put his chin in his hand and watched his little green eyed lover closely waiting to see if she grasped the implications of what he had just said.*
Savannah Devereaux (Dec 26, 2010 10:20:14 PM)
"Id' like to think it was be too. I'm not sure what I would do if some other came and.. found themselves still desiring you." The hard pall of her jealous would seem to ease off a bit as he spoke of his hope that it was her. Her lips shifted back to that soft wide smile and her expression became soft. Instead worry would set in as she looked over to him from her set that the table. The knife would be picked up and she started to cut in to the meat that was on her plate. "I am happy that your memories and abilities and returning. While you're out I think i was go out in the swamp a bit to see if the water with stir me a bit. After the boat ride you took me on... my dreams just seem so much more vivid. What about you? Are there things that you find bring your memories about?"
Armand Duplessis (Dec 26, 2010 10:25:42 PM)
*Before answering her directly he made an off the wall but none the less sincere sounding statement* Have I ever told you how incredibly endearing I find your jealousy? *He smiled a bit* well arousing also but that is another part of the tale. *Finished eating he sipped his coffee and leaned back in his seat* on the note of memories though I wish I could come up with anyone thing that helped but I really cannot. The best I can describe it is things come to me while daydreaming. Armand had a life that entailed a lot of time alone. That in turn leads to a lot of reflection, hell the man talked to himself insistantly and I find I have picked up that trait as well. With so much time more or less aloen it gives the mind many chances to wander. But I cannot really say that anyone thing or another sets the memories off. Hell sometimes things come back to me when I am in a crawd of people.
Savannah Devereaux (Dec 26, 2010 10:32:49 PM)
Her cheek would grow warm and flushed with blood when he remarked about her jealous. It was a trait hat she came by honestly. Many a sailor would tell you that the sea was a jealous and vengful lover. Sayings of those kinds do have a orgin after all. She would contine to eat with small bites as he reclined in his chair and relaxed a bit with her. Those warm brows eyes watched him as he spoke. The way his eyes went off in to space and the faint lines that were created when his strong masculine features smiles. "Sometimes it seems like that for me as well. I suppose that are somethings that help to give me focus, but it is a constant thing. Oh.. the book is in printing now. Things are moving forward as planned for that. I hope you're ready for the madness that is soon to come. I'm hoping that I've pissed quite a few people off in the process."
Armand Duplessis (Dec 26, 2010 10:37:53 PM)
*He laughed at that* well I think I can deal with it though me being cleaned up and out and about will be a bit of an adventure. *He titled his head and seemed to think a bit on that* actually it should be fun. I am not a social creature as you know but new experiences and sensations are so adictive. This should be full of them! *He then gave her a look that was all mischief* when things start to break we should float a rumor that we made a video just to see what happens.....I mean is there ever a celebrity scandal without allegations of a sex video?
Savannah Devereaux (Dec 26, 2010 10:41:04 PM)
Her head leaned back adn a rich round of laughter came out. The thought really did tickle her a her eyes started to water just slightly. "Yes. The sex video is always the rage. However be careful. Jaqckie will want to feature in it and might be upset if we don't let her." She snickered again as ate the last of the breakfast and took a ling drink of orange juice. "You know you are a terrible influence on me. Ever since the day we've met you'vebeen getting me in to trouble..."
Armand Duplessis (Dec 26, 2010 10:46:46 PM)
*He batted his eyes at her and then gave another impish grin* you are missing an opportunity there. If you want to -really- pull Jacqui's chain what you do is tell her we want her to film it but that she cannot participate. I suspect that would drive the woman crazy especially since she has been hitting on you for the better part of a month. *He sat his coffee cup on the table then and gave her his most innocent smile* And I am not that bad of an influence, I like to think things have actually gotten better for both of us since we have been together. Sort of feels like something that was meant to be. *He leaned toward her a bit and smirked* and tell me you do not find at least a little bit of amusment in the thought of something like making Jacqui watch while not being included? I mean after all she is the one who always carries on about what she has made. *he shrugged* if someone hangs a sign around their neck that says 'fuck with me' then you are not being bad or influencing anyone terribly if you fuck
Savannah Devereaux (Dec 26, 2010 10:54:31 PM)
"I suppose I can see why you would suggest what would suggest. Still I think Jacqui would end up in the bed with us and in the tape. She'd find some way to callin one of her thralls and have them tape." A faint smirk came to her lips as he mentioned J's flirtations. A small flutter of her eyes would come as she traded her seat for Armand's lap. Her body was warm as she leaned against him while he enjoied his morning coffe. A soft hand ran over his bald head as the spoke. "Well... maybe she's really just trying to get on your good side hmm? Maybe it's really you that she's after. And yes... if someone is simply begging for it; then why not give them what they want? But.. as much fun as it sounds... I have to keep Savannah's name some what in the clear. Role of the victim my darling?"
Armand Duplessis (Dec 26, 2010 10:59:45 PM)
*He slid his arms around her as she settled onto his lap and then shifted getting himself into a bit more comfortable position* Mmm, well I am sure you will recall the little tift her and I had not too long ago not to mention her regularly saying I am not her type and acting like that statement is the source of all our friction. *He patted her behind* no she is after you bebe and trust me *he propped his chin against her and lowered his voice* I don't share. So it is probably best that you have to keep your name clear and play your role. *He then leaned back and gave her another impish look* besides the thought of Jacqui joining us is disturbing, if she had as many pricks sticking out of her as she has had stuck in her she would look like a porcupine and those are not native to this area so we all would have some splainin to do.
Savannah Devereaux (Dec 26, 2010 11:14:08 PM)
Another howl of laughter would come from the woman on his lap as he went in to all of the reason that he would not and could not be interested in Jacquie. She would lean in close and pressed his lips to hers. In a way it a celebration of the what he said as well as thank you for saying it. It brought her joy to know that he cared for and wanted her enough for hisself that he did not want to share. Her lips pulled back from his adn a warm smile was left on her lips. "Well good. Thre is no telling what has been inside of her or what will come crawling out of her either. It makes her a quiet unattractive prspect to be with. I will admit that Alex and I... almost grew intimate once, but not came of it. He didn't even stay the night. That was really my only close call. A few have tried to grow close, but... there was always something missing."
Armand Duplessis (Dec 26, 2010 11:22:57 PM)
*He considered her growing a bit serious* Alex? He does not really seem your type. *He waved his hand in the air* he has so few words and his thought process does not strike me as overly deep. Things that I have noticed you seem to cherish are in fact deep conversation was well as deep thoughts.*He then shrugged again* I am sure we have both had our share of calls before we decided we suited one another. Hell, Jacqui even saw me naked once, I was shelling and needed to change out of my muddy pants and you know how she eggs on so I just changed there while she was watching.....she said something along the lines of 'nothing she had not seen a lot of before" talk about an understatement. Of course now her and Alex seem all tight but well they have a open view of things as best I can tell.....and she mentioned never looking at me sideways for fear of you leaving her with a bloody stub if she touched me. *He leaned up and pressed another kiss to her lips before pulling back just enough to whisper* and if you wa
Armand Duplessis (Dec 26, 2010 11:23:39 PM)
want to know a secrete I am horribly jealous over you also....I see the way others look at you.
Savannah Devereaux (Dec 26, 2010 11:38:15 PM)
"Me leaving her with a bloody stub if she touched you?" Her eyes fluttered softly as he spoke of this. She was clearly suprised to hear this from his lips or for anyone elses. She hadn't thought that she had earned such a reputation for being so... evil. Still she smile. The thought would pass as she started to consdier the ret of the convrsation. She shook her head and sighed. "You're right. he's not. He's very quiet and introvreted. He doesn't really stimulate me either which is why I think we parted ways that night. As for Jacqui... she's all bark and absolutly no bite. I really pay her no mind excet to include her in some of the festivities. I don't trust her as far as I can throw her however. I don't know what it is, but the first day we met when she found out I was Silver Legion... I don't know. She seemed to withdraw a bit as if I frightened or disguested her. I just feel like one day she's going to try something that will greatly piss me off."
Armand Duplessis (Dec 26, 2010 11:44:00 PM)
Well you know her and Swan are bunk buddies also and so that does not speak very highly of her. *He frowned* with her whole free love thing I am surprised she seemed so repulsed by the Silver Legion. *And he just plain left it at that* Honestly I feel like that whole crowd with the exception of Swan are not actively malicious. I just tend to feel like they are more dangerously clueless and incompotent. What makes them even more dangerous is well they are clueless and slow people who think they are clever. I cannot think of anything in creation that is more dangerous or vexing than a dumb person who thinks they are smart.
Savannah Devereaux (Dec 26, 2010 11:51:14 PM)
"I know my love. it is a mystery indeed and I don't really don't know what could possibly fix it. To be honest... I don't think there is a way to fix stupid." A faint laugh came as she rested her head on his shoulder. She could smell the swamp on his clothing already. "When he spoke of her ideals I was just as floored when she acted almost appaled. My jaw simply dropped to the floor, but I guess she claims to love humans in some sort of special way. I know she has asked me to not speak openly of demonic things in front of them either." A faint shrug came. "I can't say that much of what she's told me at all makes much sense."
Armand Duplessis (Dec 26, 2010 11:55:13 PM)
*He just shook his head* speaking of not understanding do you know much of the lantern? I was at Court when Perri mentioned it and got the vague sense it had been handed over by one of the earth bound or something for use, but I must admit my details on it are sketchy at best. *He crinkled his nose in the way he has when he is slightly irritated by something.* And I guess I am too curious or the like and not being up to date on things drives me absolutely crazy. *He frowned a bit* I wonder if that comes from Armand because as best I recall in the past I was generally content to blindly do as I was told and let others worry about the scheming.
