Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 9:05:05 PM)
*alex is tearing across the back roads at a break neck pace, the whine of the engine carying for miles before he turns off onto the same dirt road he always does, slowling to a stop in the fading light of the clearing that he usually stows the bike in. He looks around the woods a bit before killing his engine and the headlamp with it.*
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 9:07:23 PM)
::as the bike turns off, and he can hear the engine start to cool, the night life returns to the bayou around him. It's quiet, no sign of Ais, and the stars and moon are just starting to make their appearance. Crickets and other creepy crawlies are chirping along, frogs singing, the night life surrounds him wholly. The soft sounds of moving water, squishy mud, and the slow tick of the cooling engine::
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 9:09:09 PM)
*straddling the bike, he peers into the darkening woods, unafraid, but a little concerened that Aislinn isn't here. He calls out* AISLINN! YOOOHOOO! YOUR RIDE IS HERE!

::and as his eyes move across the bayou, he spots what appears to be Ais' messenger bag in the crook of a tree, tucked in carefully, along with what appear to be neatly folded clothing, and even her shoes. His girlfriend was somewhere in the bayou, naked. Without her things. He also saw her footsteps in some mud, before they trailed towards the undergrowth, getting lost after a few paces::
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 9:16:54 PM)
*He moves to check the items, studying how they are hidden.. He takes a moment to unfold the clothes, checking to see if they have been damaged, torn or in any other way harmed. Assuming they aren't, he will refold them, returnign them to thier place. Spotting her tracks he will follow them as far as he can into the darkness. When he can no longer see the tracks, he draws one of his daggers, holding it, charging it's pattern with energy from teh universe, causing it to give off a pure white light, trying to aid him in his search for the missing Aislinn*
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 9:19:27 PM)
::they are neatly placed, in their usual good repair, and her clothes were neatly folded, and also in good repair. No signs of blood or tears, shoes are mostly clean. And as he begins to follow, he realizes quickly that her tracks seem to disappear totally, no more footsteps after about 100 feet. Looking around, he can see that from this point, she'd be totally sheltered from prying eyes::

Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 9:25:10 PM)
(( and let me know if you want me to roll this... )) *Alex takes the dagger, grazing his fingertip with teh balde to start bleeding. Running the blood around his nostrills, he wills his olfactory nerves to selectivly shut down. There is only one thing he can smell now, and that is Aislinn's scent. He stretches his neck and turns in a slow circle, sniffing at her bare footprints to pick up the trail, then turning in slow circles to try and pick up her trail*

Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 9:46:59 PM)
::As he starts to search, he can find half a footprint, beneath mud and leaves... then another print of the ball of her other foot, and half her toes.. He found where she stood... for sure, for a few moments... .then... nothing. Absolutely nothing.:
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 9:47:51 PM)
::He realizes by this time, he's gone pretty deep in the bayou, nightlife is calling a little more loudly here, and the undergrowth is thick, surrounded by vegetation, and dense trees::
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 9:49:50 PM)
*Still sniffing, trying to find a hint of her scent, letting his nose lead him. He moves without fear, shifting his posture to crouch and move with longer strides for better ballance on teh soft earth. He lets his nose lead him, knowing that any of the wildlife here wouldn't pose a serious threat to him. He contemplates calling out again, but decides against it*
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 9:51:05 PM)
::he swears he can catch a faint sniff of her in the air... disappating from earlier still maybe? It's certainly not strong... and... it's... different. More feral, animalistic, darker. ::
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 9:53:05 PM)
*he catches the scent, and smiles darkly. That dark scent triggers something in his brain and he keeps following it, letting the predator in him come out to play jsut a little. He moves with teh grace of a jungle cat, loping along after her scent, tenaciously trying to catch up to it*
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 9:58:49 PM)
::and it changed, still her... but -barely-. Following it deeper, and deeper into the bayou, he's getting lost but good, as he wound through. It took a good half hour of walking, twisting and turning through the vegetation. Her scent was fading... and he almost tripped over the body as he came on it. A small deer, gored, on the ground. It was a fresh kill, the kill... done neatly. One twist of powerful jaws broke its neck, it likely never even knew it was dinner. Almost.... humane. The jaws..... were big. Something... big... did this. No swamp cougar... no wolves. Not possible. Neither had the power::
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 10:02:50 PM)
*he reaches down to examine the kill, looking for wounds, checking the size of any claw or teeth marks, and knowing there si nothign native to the Bayou that could do this, he draws his second dagger very slowly. his eyes scan the area around him and with his right hand reaches out to touch the wounds on the beast again, catching it's blood on his fingers. He anoits his eyes with the blood of the dead beast and concentrates, letting his vision distinguish more clearly living animals from anythign else. His gaze wanders around the area wonderingif what killed this was close*
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 10:03:26 PM)
(heat vision? how are you distinguishing?)
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 10:05:03 PM)
(( Think of it like a Heads up display, living animals give off an aura perceptible to the life sphere. If he were a technocrat he would goojy up his mirorshades with a lifesigns indicator. Imagine that Heads Up Display effect, but mystical rather than technological in nature ))
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 10:07:41 PM)
::Claws marks... delicate, comparatively to any other animal here in the bayou... and... hell, most places in the United States. They were more needle-like, than more blunt wolves' claws... more cat-like. And... Big. He found only -one- pawprint... it was most assuredly the size of his hand. The blood was cooling, it had been here for a couple of hours, at most. No other predators had touched it... whatever did this, was ruling this jungle now. Nightlife abounded, the bayou was completely -full-, almost blinding his vision, until he adjusted::
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 10:09:59 PM)
*And filtering out all the damn bugs, and really, anything smaller than about a hundred pounds, those criteria should allow him to find either Aislinn or the beast. He switche shis daggers for a reverse, defensive grip and dismissies the illuminating glow from teh one he had prime charged and and sets about in a circular search patter for what ever big animal did this, or Aislinn, prefereably Aislinn first, because if he was going to armwrestle a runaway lions, he wanted her to watch*
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 10:13:51 PM)
::and he could see a few deer. Even a large cougar, attracted by the scent of the fresh kill no doubt... but whatever had done it, was keeping even the cougar at bay, as it slunk away from that direction entirely. Nightlife got quiet as he approached, loud elsewhere as he moved. He couldn't see any more sign of whatever creature was out here.. either gone... or elsewhere::

Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 10:18:05 PM)
*his eyes sweep the area, looking around sniffing deeply, wanting to find Aislinn, a little concerned for her saftey, and part of him wants to test himself agaisnt this new king of the jungle, playing the oldest game in nature, Who is the better killer. He creeps away from teh kill and keeps searching, left, right and above*
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 10:20:52 PM)
::there was the briefest rustle from above him, leaves, no doubt.;:
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 10:21:27 PM)
*The dark and primal part of his brain catches the sound and his eyes dart up to the trees above him, scanning the branches*
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 10:23:46 PM)
::and it was as his eyes darted up that the silent threat came from above. There was a -huge- white tiger, bounding silently off a large tree branch. The tiger moved with such elegant grace, it was almost spellbinding as it leaped.... at -him-. It was an absolutely -perfect- female tiger, perfectly muscled, shaped, long and lean::
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 10:25:42 PM)
*part of his brain is very happy, he loves tigers, they are his most favoritest memebr of the animal kingdom, and this is the most beautiful specimen he has ever seen. Part of his brain realizes it is leaping at him and he should do something about that. He brings up the daggers in a defensive block to try and parry the claws, and preapres to roll with the impact rather than take the full brunt of the hit*
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 10:29:29 PM)
::and... one huge paw reached out... without claws bared... to bat at the daggers in his hands. Feeling the soft pads of those paws, the soft fur between the toes as she batted again. Her batting was powerful, pushing him back, but didn't harm him in the slightest::
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 10:32:16 PM)
*he realizes the big cat is playing with him, and he makes no move to harm the beast, but he will "fight" it. He takes each hit, moving with a fluid grace. She had never seen him fight before, but if this was an example of it, he had some serious skills and would be more than a little scary if he meant to kill with those knives. After a series of defensive maneuvers, he lashes out with a kick, aiming for the animals shoulder, pulling much of the force from teh blow intentionaly, jsut to see if he can land one*
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 10:35:36 PM)
::the cat is fast, batting with paws repeatedly, in different places, different manuevers. She dodged to the right, and hissed in his face, growling playfully as she did, her jaws leaning in.... huge pearly white fangs, a faint smudge of blood still on them, as she leaned in to nip at his leg, just above his knee.. mouth barely able to get around it, a soft nip, and a 'gotcha' look in her eyes::
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 10:37:45 PM)
*seeing the cat has bitten his leg, and gives him a gotcha look, he scrunches up his face a little. He holds up his daggers showign that he is going to put them away, and then sheathes them. Once they are sheathed he reaches out to pet the tiger's head* Aislinn? Is this you? *he seems hopefull, becasue otherwise, he might be lunch*
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 10:41:19 PM)
::the large cat paused, as though "allowing" him to rest, licking her jaws a bit, before she yawned lazily, showing large, sharp fangs. The cat almost shied away, but seemed to pause, then leaning into his hand, and a low, rumbling purr began to sound, filling the jungle around them. Her fur is as soft as it looks, and if he had to choose, he'd say the large cat looked bemused. Her head leaned in, softly headbutting his hip::
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 10:45:01 PM)
*He is grinning ear to ear, dropping to his knees after the big cat headbutts his hip. he opens his arms to it, waiting for the cat to come to him, absoluty beside himself happy.* This is the most amazing thing I have seen in ages. You are the most beautiful tiger I have ever laid eyes on. *he looks like he may explode from happiness*
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 10:48:39 PM)
::Ais padded forward, and she put a big paw on his shoulder, bowling him over and putting large paws on his shoulders, 'pinning' him, before she licked a rather rough tongue over the side of his face, tail twitching a bit as she watched him. She'd forgotten to change her eye color, the green eyes were most assuredly familiar::
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 10:50:17 PM)
::the happy rumbling of the great beast was almost vibrating his body, as close as she was, happy to watch him for now, through a different part of herself::
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 10:51:45 PM)
*recognizing the eyes on the tiger he blushes a bit as it pins him. He puts his hands on the sides of Aislins fore legs, strokign the fur and purring himself. As she licks his face he laughs out loud, and feeling her pur only seems to make him happily* Your tounge feels funny like this babe. *he leans his head up to nuzzle her if he can move that much*
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 10:57:37 PM)
::her forelegs were powerful, the muscles were firm and strong, there was no joking about this beast. He could feel the barely-sheathed claws, and he could tell she was keeping them well in check. Her head tilted at the nickname, and her mouth opened a bit, almost looking like a giggle.. the purr ruining that. She lowered her head to nuzzle him, closing her eyes a bit. She leaned down a bit more, as she began to press her wet, flat nose along his neck, inhaling deeply as she did::
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 11:00:54 PM)
*the feel of her claws excites him a bit. He turns his head to the side and she can feel the thrill of her taking in his scent in this form. he bares his neck to her in offering, and squirms a little under her happily. As she presses her nose to his neck he nuzzles into her, tenativly kissing her furry cheek, looking for a reaction in Aislinn*
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 11:04:34 PM)
::the purr rumbled a bit more, and leaned down, pressing her heavy body against his. Her claws began to dig into his shoulders, similar to last night, and he could feel them starting to press against his shirt, little divots easily showing already beneath her sharp claws. After the kiss, her head rises, looking into his eyes a moment, before her tongue slipped out, lightly along his cheek, before she used her nose to nudge his neck up a bit more, and he could feel light pressure of her jaws on his bared throat, "claiming" him as her "kill", the purr... made it seem much less threatening::
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 11:07:07 PM)
*As she presses her heavy body against him, he feels the breath being constricted a bit. , he arches as she digs in the claws and she can feel his hips roll agaisnt her rumbling body. He makes a happy noise feeling her rough tounge on hi s cheek again, and he moves his head for her. As she claims her kill, he can't help himself but groan a little.. he is biting his lip and then whispers softly* Yes, I am yours, Aislinn.
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 11:13:26 PM)
::she's careful not to crush him with the weight of heavy muscle, as she leans into him, mouth open a bit to better inhale.. and taste... him. Her tongue slides along his neck lightly, as though indeed tasting him with new tastebuds, before she bit him again, mindful not to let a sharp fang pierce his tender flesh. Her claws extended a bit more, and they slid past his shirt, shredding it with no effort, and then piercing his shoulders, adding another set of wounds right next to his ones from last night, sliding through his skin as easily as he expected. A soft, low rumble from her, a soft growl of acknowledgement from deep in her throat, fully vibrating his throat as she does::
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 11:16:19 PM)
*He whimpers happily as she tastes him, Wondering if he tastes appetizing to her, or should he marinate in something first? He graons and arches again as she bites him. and tehn when he feels her claws extend, tearing his shirt and his flesh, his eyes go wide and he groans in a mix of pleasure and pain* Yess, I am yours, Aislinn. *he wrps his arms around her as best he can, feeling the calwamarks and his blood, kissing her furred neck*
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 11:20:44 PM)
::as he wonders how he tastes, she licks again up his neck, and then... pausing, she leans in, her rough tongue licking a small amount of his blood, near her paws, apparently quite pleased with his natural taste. She nuzzled him gently, still purring loudly, like she can't quite help herself. She smells vaguely of Aislinn, but more feral, animalistic, a change in pheremones. She pressed down again, pinning him, claws embedded lightly into his flesh, and she lifts her head, roaring... it was deafeningly loud, but a clear warning to those in this particular section of the bayou, that she'd made her claim, and anyone was welcome to challenge her on this. They'd find her a fierce competitor, and the roar was enough to hit that primal fear in the back of all humans, yet... for a Verbena, it hit that special note as well.::
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 11:25:08 PM)
*Alex jsut about melts as he watches her taste his blood and seem to enjoy it, the primordial part of his brain is coming out, and she can feel the civilized, controlled part of his mind slipping well beyond the back burner. He feels the raor and basks in it sublime glory. So terrifying it is beautiful, so beautiful it is terrifying. He tries to lift his voice in a roar back to her, torying to show her how much he enjoys the claim she has staked, but his throat is illsuited to it. he leans up pressing his face into her soft fer, and his feelings for her haven't changed even though her shape has, this is still his Aislinn, still beautiful and powerful, and his Princess*
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 11:29:16 PM)
::she nuzzles him gently, before he felt her claws start to retract, carefully, just as smoothly as they slid in, he can feel the blood start to trickle down his skin, before she leaned down, and smoothed her tongue once, on each shoulder, not wanting him to waste precious blood. She shivered softly, bodily, eyes half-closing as she tasted him in an entirely new form. Another low rumbling growl in her throat, nose nuzzling him, before she lifts her huge paws from him, stepping aside carefully::
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 11:30:46 PM)
*before she can step aside from him, he turns his face to hers in this form, kissing her with a meek and tender passion, right on the nose, then he kips up to his feet, turing and runnign his hands down her back* No matter what changes you go through, you are still going to have this affect on me.
Aislinn Connelly (Mar 16, 2011 11:33:52 PM)
::large tiger-y grin, mouth half-open, as she nudged his side again. Her fur was soft and thick, the white was startlingly so, and he realizes that she makes very little sound as she moves. She may have been stalking him the entire time. Starting to walk, she only walks if she can nudge his leg as they walk together. ::
Alex Steele (Mar 16, 2011 11:35:28 PM)
*he rests his hand on her back walking with her like this* Aislinn, did you pick this form for me? did you know a white tiger is my favorite animal on the face of the Goddess's creation? Or it was before I met you, anyway. *he blushes* And you have given me an even better set of scars tonight.
