Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 6:25:14 PM)
*Lina had called last night and left a message for Luci, saying she was crashing out at the swamp for the night, but would be by the house the next evening to feed the critters and check in on Luce. And sure enough, a little before dinnertime Lina was home, in muddy jeans and a tee with her stompy workboots on, snuggling Duke at the door*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 6:26:01 PM)
::Luci is sprawled on the couch, reading a book on angelic names, frowning at it, having made very few notes on her pad. Head supported by her hand, elbow crooked, she had on a pair of tiny shorts, and a tank top. She had a glass of... water?? next to her, half-finished. The chickens, cat, and dog were already fed, it was debatable if Luci had remembered to eat herself::
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 6:28:08 PM)
(... imagine that you are woken up by -this-)
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 6:30:05 PM)
Hey sugah! *coming in with a tired smile, Lina generally looked as if she'd been out in the garden all day. Tired, but satisfied.* Oo.. find anything good? *heading over after she toe-nudges her boots off and flumps down on the sofa to see the pages*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 6:31:36 PM)
Non. ::grumping a bit, flicking another page, and she looks up to Lina:: Oh, bien. You're sitting. ::shifting up a bit as she sat up:: We... need to ... talk. You can thank Zac and Casey later.
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 6:32:44 PM)
*that took her out of left field and she blinked* Okay, sure. What's goin on? *concern blossoming, that was a fast jump to a topic, so already she knew it was bothering Luci*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 6:34:27 PM)
::she looks to Lina:: Are you armed, Li? ::asked casually::
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 6:39:02 PM)
Um no..Damocles is upstairs in his box, and there's so much damn wter in the bayou I never take the gun.. Why?
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 6:40:51 PM)
Sugah, what's going on? *-real- concern now*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 6:40:54 PM)
Bien..... So... I was at home, drinking a celebratory margarita... when Casey came by, and she looked... bad. Like someone killed her puppy, and mutilated it, then put it under her pillow for her to find. I got her a drink, and asked what happened... as she began to tell me... Zac... knocked on the door.
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 6:42:41 PM)
Oh lord. that one? She on about the cafe still, the attack? Or has something new come up?
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 6:43:31 PM)
I invited him in, went to the back garden, offered him a margarita, and told Casey to continue. So... she gets halfway into her explanation... something about a group of ..'them', and some Hounds coming and that there was a group of... normal people in the club... and the Lord....Tyrant? came in, and they were deciding what to do...
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 6:45:03 PM)
*she shakes her head lightly* That ain't a title I ever heard..but go on.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 6:46:25 PM)
Well... Casey got about that far, when Zac burst in and chastised her for telling me anything. Saying that I have no right to know, and that whomever my -master- was, they would decide what to tell me.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 6:48:52 PM)
Zac then began to describe the pact as me being no better than property, chattel... and that I need to accept that and not let anyone else tell me different. He continued to brush his fingers through my hair as he told me this.. ::frowning a bit:: He acknowledges that I'm not stupid, but that says me knowing anything puts me in danger. Casey said that it sounded as though -he- wants to thrall me.... Zac said if he wanted to... that he'd already have done it. I asked both to shut up... and just stop. Zac said he wouldn't send anyone after Casey, and said he'd look after me, and for me not to worry. He then said he had to leave... because he couldn't be a part of Casey telling me things... which... she didn't say another word. She then.. offered to do what Amos did for you... offered the same deal.
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 6:49:53 PM)
*looks..as if she'd spontaneously developed chronic migraines* Oh Luce..
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 6:51:49 PM)
So... ::taking a breath, her tone hadn't changed much, yaaaaay for repression and faking it:: I have Casey leave a little while later, and Zac calling me last night to go to a rave with him. So... I'm currently wondering when the execution brigade shows up... for myself or Casey... or, you know, both. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 6:56:17 PM)
*looking levelly to her friend, she knows Luci's scared and she nods* Okay.. for starters, nobody's killin you yet, so let's sort this out. What Zac told you..'bout bein a servant to a master, it's the worst case scenario. And not a single one of the angels I've met has ever had so cruel a bargain with their believers. They're -Angels-.. They can turn cities to salt and bring down armies with a toot on the horn. Of course they -could- be terrible masters with nothing but Slaves for followers..but that's why we're bein so damn careful who we find. Right?
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 6:59:09 PM)
He was very clear... that they -aren't- ange.... that they are from Hell, and indeed, demons. Zac... was -very- clear. ::said quietly::
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:02:40 PM)
They spent thousands of years in the Abyss, sugah. That's what hell is, and every one of em is trapped away from the rest of em. What do you call an angel in hell? *quietly, since..it is what she's been telling Luci all along, even if she never used those terms* Every single one of them..you could call a Demon. But there's a dangerous truth in words. You go around using a term for someone that makes them feel like a monster, and sooner or later all you got is the Monster.
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:04:21 PM)
They went to Hell for us, and now we're gonna throw it in their faces and call them monsters? No sugah, they're angels still. -Our- Angels. *quietly and intent, Luci hasn't really -seen- Lina's faith in action before, and now she's struck right up in the core of it*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:07:23 PM)
::she shook her head:: -I- never called him such, Lina... -He- called himself a demon... ::speaking calmly, though... this was calling work to the forefront, professional, cool, and controlled.:: And from what he said, that the pact is in all actuality, enslavement. And that I should take care .... ::she rubs her face a bit, leaning back down on the pillows, talk about a conflict of faith::
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:10:21 PM)
He's bitter. Plenty are.. bitter, some crazy, some still tryin to do what they were put here for, some trying to find new causes, for all that they were born in heaven..they're a lot like us. They all come at their problems differently in their own heads.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:12:18 PM)
::she shrugs:: I think he just wants to fuck around and... fuck. Hang out... which is fine. But... he kept saying he'd "take care of me". I'm not sure entirely how.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:12:41 PM)
and Casey.... Casey wants to make the same deal as you and Amos. And... I know James is interested..
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:15:11 PM)
Casey.. I am pretty sure would follow through with it too.. but sugah, I don't know your boys like you do. I know Amos would shelter you like he's doin for me too if that's what you wanted. *she shakes her head* Zac left me a message saying he wanted to talk with both of us..but I haven't caught back up with him.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:16:51 PM)
Casey was in earnest.. James ::she sighs:: He was a decent fuck.. but... aside from flirting, I don't... see more. ::she shrugs a shoulder:: Zac.. I enjoy hanging around. I have a good time with him.
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:18:54 PM)
Well then.. if he wants to talk to both of us, we can hear him out if you want. *sighing lightly* Look, I haven't lied, sugah. What Zac said.. it -can- be the way of things. But it doesn't have to be. That's part of why I accepted Amos' help when he offered it, to make sure it wouldn't end up that way for either of us.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:21:35 PM)
Li.... at this point, I'm in. I'm in... and I'm not turning back. I can't. I can't go back, and I can't move forward... until we do this. I'm in limbo... my purgatory. I have questions, I need answers, and I can't ask them. If we are going to do this, it'll need to be soon. I feel like a noose is around my neck, and it's tightening.
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:23:39 PM)
An yeah..for the record..*she shakes her head* Casey had no right to come crying to you bout things. Tangling you up in it all is just irresponsible. She should know better than to start talking about titles. Can't believe she did it in front of Zac too.. *shaking her head*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:25:04 PM)
::she nods, sighing:: She apologized, and I believe she meant it. I think... her way of apologizing, was asking me to be involved.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:26:29 PM)

Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:27:01 PM)
*he decided to pop on by and check in on things. An easy knock at the door after pulling up in the bentley*
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:27:33 PM)
So somethin like "Hey, sorry I dragged you in further, here's some more goddamn rope?" *and she looks up at the knock, rising to answer the door in muddy jeans and a tee, her long hair wound up in a sort of knotted mass*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:28:11 PM)
I don't know it's the smartest thing in the world... and Amos... he's... yours, cher. I don't need to be his little pet project that he tolerates because of you.... ::she nods:: Basically... the noose... gets tighter. ::she brushes fingertips across her throat, unconsciously::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:30:03 PM)
Hey what;s up. *he smiled as he stood in jeans and long sleeve button down with rolled up sleeves. An expensive platinum watch dangling upon hsi wrist as he smiled easily at her* Luci here?
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:30:03 PM)
Oh sugah.. *a truly mournful look back to her friend before Zac gets his greeting, an entirely flat* Speak of the same. *sighing and pulling the door open* You got good timing, Zac, I'll give ya that. Come on in and let's do this talkin.
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:30:10 PM)
mine after yours]]
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:32:06 PM)
::Luci is on the couch, wearing a pair of tiny workout shorts, tied at her hips, and a fitted tank top. She smiles to Lina ruefully, shaking her head:: You know it for what it is... he could care less about me. I know that. I'm not stupid...
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:32:58 PM)
*he strolled inside and looked over at Luci, the smile fading a bit as he sat down next to her and placed a hand on her thigh* What's the matter?
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:33:42 PM)
::she shakes her head to him:: We're discussing... options. After last night...
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:34:00 PM)
Oh that's not true, he knows your value to me. Only an idiot would underestimate that.. *lifting a brow at Zac's possessive move, she flicks her glance to Luci curiously instead* We been talkin about you an Casey's little spat. I got your message about wantin to hash it out, so ..seems you caught us for the moment.
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:35:54 PM)
Well I talked to a few people about it... and yes I did because I know you belong to someone yet Luci does not. Casey has unfortunately put you in a verydangerous predicament but I have taken it upon myself to vouche for you for the time being. For now you are under my protection but you musn't let your curiosity take you any further down the rabbit hole so to speak, you get me?
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:36:30 PM)
*flatly to Luci* Told ya.
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:36:57 PM)
Told her what?*looking curiously to Luci.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:36:58 PM)
Li... I meant how -he- feels about me... he couldn't care less, save you. And we both know it. ::she raised a brow, then her eyes looked to Lina and she snickers:: I owe you one of those Cubans again.
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:37:00 PM)
linsa]
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:37:40 PM)
Mmhm. *nodding her agreement to the last* And he doesn't know you, because I asked him to stay away. *a sidelong glance at Zac* For all the good it did ya.
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:38:18 PM)
You don'towe me anything.... *he smiled* I don't like gthe idea of someone suffering for anothers stupidity and carelessness.
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:38:40 PM)
Who is this he you speak of anyway?
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:38:56 PM)
*looks to Zac* We weren't talkin bout you. And it's me gettin the cigar, so chill sugah.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:39:53 PM)
::she looks to Lina, raising a brow, then smirks a bit, a Cheshire-cat smile crossing her lips briefly:: And oui, I owe Lina the Cuban. I'm going to go through those faster this time, I can just tell. ::she looks to Zac, curiously:: And you, ange, why do you stick your neck out for me?
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:40:38 PM)
*taking a breath and nodding to Zac lightly* Sorry, not used to people not catching that we're talkin to each other..rather than them. Thank ya.. for offering to cover for Luci.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:41:30 PM)
Wait... wait... what does this entail? What's being covered? So... I'm clear. ::looking between the two of them::
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:42:05 PM)
He's not asking anything from you, Luci. *calmly* He's just offering to vouch for you should others come looking to know why you know..what you know.
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:42:43 PM)
Which..given his supposed outlook on bargains, is a little bizarrely generous. *faintly curious look to Zac now*
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:42:49 PM)
i'm really not aware of who exactly you have been dealing with so I will let it pass.... but it woulddo you well, when dealing in our world to recognize you are speaking to a being as old as creation.... it is just a warning for you both, things have changed much recently in the city and from what I gather things are notas easyand lax as they used to be. *his tone was much more as someone giving good advice then anything else* I stick my neck out because you have potential and Casey was simply trying to ingratiate herself with you... I am responsible for making sure what you know goes no further.... that it all.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:45:22 PM)
::Luci looks to Lina and speaks slowly in French, odd French::
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:47:04 PM)
::flicking a brow, then wrinkling her nose:: Tastes like an abomination... ::obviously not meaning it, as she grins after.::
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:47:54 PM)
So... you are responsible to ensure that I am not discussing this with those not 'in the know', oui? ::looking to Zac::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:48:33 PM)
Yes.... so please watch who you speak with,and it will be a good idea to avoid Casey, she has shown herself to be mroe and more unstable lately.
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:48:38 PM)
*just gives Luci a headshake and a wry smile*
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:49:17 PM)
So anyway who is your patron Lina? I am curious to know who oversees you.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:49:34 PM)
::she nods to Lina, and then shakes her head:: I don't discuss it with anyone I don't know is involved. So far... Luci, Amos, London, Casey, Michael, and you... oh, and James.
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:50:19 PM)
Well don't even discuss with them anything beyond you knowing we exist... just to be safe.
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:50:39 PM)
Amos has generously offered me his protection, and I accepted.
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:51:22 PM)
Ah the swamp man.... *he nodded then*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:51:50 PM)
::she looked to Lina, watching her a moment::
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:52:29 PM)
*a light smile, offering Nothing further to Zac*
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:52:59 PM)
So... how about we move past awkward conversation then.... what's been going on around here?
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:53:49 PM)
A whole lotta awkward conversation.
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:54:57 PM)
Well then arent we supposed to be partying or something? Oh man you missed an amazing rave last night... I tried to call you but my phone died....
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:54:57 PM)
Just... reading today... and... oui... conversation. Work was fast... Captain hasn't assigned me any cases yet, Li. I think he's holding out on me. I was processing crap today... thought my eyes would cross.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:55:11 PM)
Mmm, suuure, it did. ::eyeing Zach::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:56:02 PM)
*he would pull out the brand new cellphone and show it to her as he smiled* Apparently giant bolts of angelic essence are bad for electronic devices
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:56:54 PM)
::she rolled her eyes and looked the phone over, easily adding herself to the contact list and handing it back casually:: Why... were there giant bolts of angelic essence?
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:57:07 PM)
*snorts and comments in Cajun French on her way to the kitchen, before calling out* Anyone want a drink?
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:57:58 PM)
but i really have to head out... just wanted to make sure you were ok and let you know you will be safe for now. *He gets up and leaves after giving cheeks kisses goodbye*
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 7:58:13 PM)
[[ok i have house guests have gto run!!]]
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 7:58:17 PM)
((Bai!))

Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 7:59:48 PM)
Le diable.... ::muttering, then looking to Lina:: Now do you see why I'm confused?
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 8:00:46 PM)
Mmmhm. That one's a pain in my ass. Musta been the Angel of Contradictin Himself every Five Minutes.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 8:03:30 PM)
He says he wants something casual... yet... he comes to see me every day. ::she shakes her head:: Did you see that hand on my thigh the second he came in? ::she smirks a bit and then looks to her:: And... he goes from being a demon to an angel in one conversation.. What.. of the Casey thing? Do I need to stay away, Li?
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 8:04:46 PM)
Casey's welcome in my house till Amos says there's reason to do otherwise. I ain't about to take Mister Contradiction at his word on that. *returning with a couple fruit juice cocktails..the sort where the rum has a chance to sneak up and knock you on your ass*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 8:07:29 PM)
Oh... j'tador.... mon amour... ::she accepts the drink and takes a long sip, her stomach growls as she does... nope, didn't eat today. Preoccupied with angel names no doubt:: So... what does this really mean.. Zac is "responsible" for me now?
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 8:09:54 PM)
Tshca! *she shakes her head* No more so than Michael and Casey were "responsible" for me before Amos stepped up. He's just tryin ta give you a buffer in case word gets around about you knowin things. He's putting it about that he's aware and he's limiting the potential damage. Makin sure you don't tell anyone -else-.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 8:12:38 PM)
Who the -hell- else would I tell, Li? Soo... it doesn't mean shit, oui? ::she sips on her drink again, then again:: So.. basically .. he's just... giving an excuse to hang around me more?
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 8:16:17 PM)
Sounds like he doesn't particularly need the excuse.. he thinks he's got somethin with you. Hand on your thigh and talkin all about how he's protecting your Potential? *she shakes her head and takes a sip..before offering her hand to help Luci up* Come on sugah..let's get you in the kitchen for something like a meal.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 8:20:56 PM)
::she raises a brow:: He's the one who said that he wanted to keep it casual, cher. I said it was fine by me... you know me, Li. ::she took Lina's hand, wobbling a bit, and then she followed Lina, like a small child being told it was time for mac and cheese and nuggets. :: What is it you think he thinks he has with me? ::sipping her drink, and she nods:: I noted the hand... and heard the "Potential" bit... but he's already said he doesn't want to take me as his...
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 8:23:33 PM)
That one..I have no idea. And even if I did..he'd change his story five minutes later. *laughing and leading Luci to the breakfast counter, before setting her own drink aside and moving to the fridge to get things out and whip something up for Luci*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 8:25:28 PM)
::she grins:: Probably... like a politician. Something I'm used to, Li. ::she smiles a bit wider:: Politician and a policeman. It was a good night... ::she looked to Lina:: He's a dangerous one, no?
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 8:27:11 PM)
*shoots Luci a look from the fridge* James and Zac on the same night? *whistling softly and shaking her head* You don't do anything by half, do you sugah. *shutting the fridge door and moving with her armload and a carton of eggs over to the stove*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 8:28:54 PM)
::she just grins, Cheshire-cat style:: It was... a good night.. And... don't you even -try- to tell me you've never done the same, Lina Devereaux. ::pointing at her::
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 8:31:00 PM)
Not two in a night! *protesting immediately* And yeah.. I know it. That's part of why we need to find someone a little less.. attatched to the flesh. *one eye squinting*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 8:32:55 PM)
There was that night... oh yeah, that party in college... You -so- did! ::eyeing her and then she nods:: I.... I don't think I can ... belong to... or be with an ange... if I've been straddling him or him me. Kind of... takes away from it... oui?
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 8:33:32 PM)
Not Angels! *laughing* Men? Sure, sugah. *she snorts* Ya only live once.
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 8:34:24 PM)
Me? I jus can't see someone's O-face and still believe they're nigh to God. *wrinkling her nose* Probably a personal shortcomin..but it sort of Lowers them..yanno?
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 8:35:11 PM)
::she laughs:: This isn't a contest, Li. ::giggling, as she looks to her:: My thoughts... exactly. ::she nods to Lina:: No, cher, I feel the same way, I can't .. can't see ... James or... Zac all angelic... not after the past few nights. ::she giggles::
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 8:38:02 PM)
*throws a bit of green pepper at Luci* Thankfully Amos hasn't gone there. So all's well in that sitch for the moment. Though..I think he might enjoy it..one of these days. *a crooked smile*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 8:39:00 PM)
::she catches it, and eats it:: Yet. He hasn't gone there -yet-, cher. He will, we both know it. Casey... Casey is desperate for you to notice how badly she wants you...
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 8:41:22 PM)
I already talked to her, she's got it in her head that we could have some sort of romantic entanglement. I tried to explain that it's not happenin..but *shrugs a little and cracks an egg into the pan* She's a dear girl, sint' she?
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 8:44:17 PM)
::she nods, smiling softly:: Not even... a roll? ::raising a brow:: She's very sweet, I worry it's going to get her in serious trouble. ::frowning a bit as she watched Lina, always entertained when Lina worked in the kitchen:: Oh... I got you something else at home, cher. Papa mailed it, it's in your bedroom.
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 8:46:03 PM)
Oh lord sugah..I'mma have to buy a new closet aren't I? *looking over with a laugh* Is there -anything- in my closet that you don't hate? *stirring the eggs in the pan and adding veggies, bacon leftovers, and cheese*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 8:48:32 PM)
No... it's not clothes. It's nothing for the bedroom, or bathroom, or your body. ::she grins:: I don't hate the things I bought you....
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 8:51:53 PM)
I knew..you were gonna say that. *folding up the omelette and putting a slice of bread in the pan with a little butter to toast it* And you're incorrigible. *dishing up the openfaced sandwich omelette with a sprinkling of fresh parsley* So .. seems like I need to tell you what you can expect if things go further with someone..before we get our particular angel called up.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 8:53:21 PM)
::she smiles:: I saw them and thought of you... ::said simply, as an eyebrow rises:: I'm still on the pill, Li. ::said dubiously::
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 8:54:33 PM)
*she rolls her eyes* I meant if you strike up a bargain with one of them offerin you protection.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 8:55:17 PM)
Lina... I'm not doing that unless it's -our- ange. ::said with no room for question::
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 8:56:53 PM)
*she tosses the spatula into the pan lightly and turns to face her friend* At the rate you been goin, you may not get a choice.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 8:58:42 PM)
Then what's the plan, Li? ::watching her, unruffled::
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 9:00:07 PM)
Depends. Who do you think you can trust of the ones that have been offerin you safety?
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 9:02:44 PM)
I.... I think Casey can be trusted to keep me safe, but she appears to be ... upsetting the others. I think she'd have my back were anything to happen, and defend me to the best of her ability. James and Zac.... they have ... an interest in me. I think both ... are attracted to me, and will keep me safe.. as long as I don't cause too many waves.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 9:05:22 PM)
Truth be told, I'm... pleased, to hear I don't have to worry. For now. I left a new list of names on your desk... crossed out a couple of the others that I got some information on. ::waving a hand towards her desk::
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 9:05:53 PM)
((wishes we had something to work with from Deschain on that front. lol))
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 9:07:28 PM)
*she nods a little to that* Yeah.. I think they would too..though I'll be honest and say Zac's outlook on the whole matter's a little concernin. *coming around the counter to settle herself beside Luci on a stool* Makes me worry he wouldn't let go..when it came time.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 9:08:01 PM)
(yeah, that'd be nice... sighs)
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 9:12:23 PM)
How beneficial would I be to him, if I'm reluctant or even hostile? You know I don't... don't react well to being ... made... to do anything. Headstrong... ::she looks to Li:: Which part of his outlook? The changing from la diable to ange... or noting the hand on the thigh? ::she shakes her head:: As much as he says he wants to play, I don't know he's willing to -just- play. You should've seen him in the grocery store with Amos the first night. ::shaking her head. Luci picked up her fork and began to nom, very very happily:: Wouldn't he -have- to, if it was phrased properly?
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 9:15:45 PM)
Less, really..but if he only thinks he's around for the short term anyway? *shrugging lightly* I don't know. That one don't make sense to me. I don't know what's in his head. And as for Have to.. Depends how much he cared about his integrity. He already calls himself a Demon. *snorting * -some- time.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 9:21:07 PM)
::she tilts her head:: Then... if we have to do a... pact... So we have exact phrasing? Something he can't wriggle out of. ::she keeps nibbling on her dinner, and leans over and kisses Lina's temple:: Mon Dieu, I missed your cooking... I don't even care if I get fat. Go... get your present, cher. ::she shakes her head:: I will be careful around, Zac. I promise. I... I ... he's not right for me. Not.. for this. Non.
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 9:22:41 PM)
They get to hold most the cards on that one..s'why Who they Are is so damned important. *getting up with a grin* I'm a gettin, I'm a gettin.. *moving to go up the steps and into her room*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 9:24:02 PM)
I outsmarted him already, Li... and we can do it. I have fait... in us for now. In him... later. ::said quietly::
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 9:24:18 PM)
::large box, taped up carefully, heavy. Very heavy::
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 9:27:01 PM)
*picks at the tape till she can peel it aside and open it up, just curious as hell*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 9:29:47 PM)
::and there are individually wrapped packages. All appear to be antiques, in lovely condition, and seasoned well. A few copper pans, some of the ones missing from Lina's collection. an antique marble pestle and mortar, a couple of old Cajun-French cookbooks.. and the only things appearing to be new, a small set of German knives, gleaming, perfectly sharpened. It was, quite possibly, the first gift Luci had given her that wasn't for her appearance::
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 9:31:35 PM)
*she looks through the collection with a sort of wonder, touched by the trouble hunting down each little treasure must have taken her. She's trying not to cry when she settles on her rump on the floor with the books hugged to her*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 9:34:31 PM)
::they aren't brand-spanking new, they're ready for her immediate use, and Luci even put a note in the books, the inscription in French, from what she can read:: To my best friend... sister......... always........ love you... Luci. It went on further, half-filling the front page. Also, Luci's chef from home has added the recipes that Lina had loved when she visited, Luci somehow prying them from Chef's mind. Despite Luci being gone, she had been thinking a lot of Lina while gone.::
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 9:37:36 PM)
::abruptly from the front room:: Li... why didn't you make yourself an omelet? Aren't you hungry? ::clinking of her fork on the plate is indicative of her inhaling her dinner, and drinking the fruity drink, sighing out happily, content::
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 9:47:24 PM)
*she carries the cookbooks downstairs, looking supremely happy* Oh sugah.. *just coming over to set the books on the counter and hug Luci tight* I been so worried about you.. and here you were findin me all these nice things. *fighting tears as she releases Luc to sit back down* An how'd you ever get your man back home to part with his secrets?..*looking at the recipes she'd included* Or find that mortar n pestle. Or get that box up the steps!! *laughing shortly*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 9:53:00 PM)
::she looks up from her drink, and she smiles, hugging Lina, speaking softly. Her voice, usually playful and light, was slightly choked up:: I might have been gone physically, Li, but I was here, with you the whole time. I missed you, I missed this... ::gesturing to the house, as she smiled softly:: I couldn't leave you here, despite this being on my mortal soul. ::grinning a bit:: I wouldn't.. have forgiven myself, if something happened. I'm... I'm just glad nothing did while I was gone. ... In regards to Chef, he owed me a huge favor. I cashed in before I left. However... you are not allowed to part with that book, cher. Under pain of death from his rolling pin... or use them commercially. ::she grins:: The mortar and pestle I found in Italy... it's Italian marble... dated back aways... ::there was a faint note of pride:: As for the box... the UPS man was very accommodating. ::winking::
Lina Devereaux (May 10, 2011 9:58:42 PM)
Two angels -and- the UPS man. *she laughs and hugs Luci again happily* Sugah, your'e too good to me some days. Italian marble?! *she whistles appreciatively* Way too good. And you know I'll never tell his secrets. Hell I'll probably change em just a little to kee his secrets anyway. I never use another's recipes without doin something to make it mine.. That'd be cheatin.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 10:03:30 PM)
I didn't -do- the UPS man.... he -wishes- I did... ::she laughs softly, hugging her and kissing the top of her head affectionately:: Yes, Italian marble... took me a while to find it at this little store. And I had to bargain for it.. Papa said I'd do a politician proud... ::she laughs softly::

Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 10:19:29 PM)
::Luci answered the door, after ordering Duke to his bed, and she peeked out, then smiled. She was still dressed as before, tiny workout shorts and a tank, barefoot:: Bon nuit, cher... I got caught up with Lina... are we going out... or staying in? ::perking a brow to him::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 10:20:22 PM)
going out ithought was the plan... *he walked in and gave her a small kiss hello as he greeted her*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 10:21:20 PM)
I am fine with it, oui. Where are we going... so I can change into something appropriate.. ::she leans into it, offering a light kiss in return::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 10:21:51 PM)
*slipping his hand tothe small of her back* rave?
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 10:23:29 PM)
::she raised a brow:: Oui.. there was one last night?
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 10:24:35 PM)
yeah... it was pretty epic, but its actually turning into an actual club too so we can hit it up sometime
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 10:25:29 PM)
::she shakes her head:: Epic... hmm... and no invite. I'll remember that, ange... ::she nods and slips from his side, moving upstairs::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 10:27:00 PM)
*he followed behind her as she made his way upstairs. a bit of a laugh as he moved with her* Yes well I can no longer communicate using smoke signals and magic.... so for nowcellphones will have to do and like i said mine went kablooey
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 10:28:27 PM)
Mmm, serves you right... ::behind swaying lightly in front of him as she moved for her bedroom, and she raised a brow:: Are you planning on changing with me? ::smirking a bit:: And what did you to... with your angelic magic?
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 10:29:37 PM)
Didn't I warn you about asking questions... *he smiled as a hand moved to slide along her swaying behind* And no just planning on watching you change...
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 10:35:13 PM)
Oui, you did... and how am I to learn if I don't? ::looking to him curiously, as she tilted her head, and then moved into her room. Dominated by a large bed, neatly made, there was a bathroom attached, a -large- bookshelf, crammed with books on nearly every topic, from quantum physics and mathmatics, to construction, to repair books, to fantasy/fiction/mystery books, to books on CSI and criminology. Currently, there were a few books on angels, stacked neatly near her bed, a pad and pen nearby. She had one entire side of the wall covered in closet, and it was -glorious-. It was neat, organized, and crammed -full-. Clothing for any occasion, from formal state ball, clubbing, professional dress, lingerie, and evenings out. The floor neatly arranged with boxes of shoes, accessories all over. A large flat screen on the wall opposite her bed. The room was impeccably neat, and organized and clean. So very clean. So was her bathroom. Everything was decorated with clean lines, elegance, and taste, it was ooooozing wit
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 10:35:15 PM)
with it::
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 10:35:39 PM)
How am I to surprise you... if you're watching me?
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 10:36:38 PM)
What if i think the show is much better the the surprise? *he smirked at ehr as he sat upon her bed. Looking around the room and taking it in for a moment before his eyes fell back upon her*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 10:38:18 PM)
Oh... is that what this is? A show? Do you know how to lace a corset? ::eyeing him as she moves for her bathroom, leaving the door open, as she eyes her hair in the mirror, then expertly begins to put it up, leaving it up, artfully done, to stay cool. She started in on her makeup a little while later:::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 10:39:15 PM)
Yeah why? planning on wearing one? *he woudl speak to her from the bed*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 10:39:39 PM)
::she looks out, noting him on her bed and she eyes what he's wearing for a moment::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 10:41:32 PM)
*he was dressed in a button up shirt and designerslacks... the collar and ciffs open and theexpensive watch loosely dangling from hsi wrist. It was casual in a way but very well tailored and expensive*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 10:43:11 PM)
::she seemed to be basing it off what she saw:: I can... or I have a dress I can wear?
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 10:44:32 PM)
::her eyemakeup done already, her vivid green eyes dramatically done as she watched him still, then eyed her closet::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 10:46:06 PM)
wear whatever makes you feel sexy babe.... *he smiled at her*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 10:46:19 PM)
::she smiles:: I have an entire closet for that, cher.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 10:46:24 PM)
But... that works.
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 10:47:32 PM)
*he smiled and watched her get dressed as he lounged easily against the bed*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 10:49:54 PM)
::she finished and then moved towards a dresser, bending over to select from a drawer, there were at least 6 paper-wrapped corsets and she picked one out, dark grey with black edging and black laces. She moved to her closet and got out a matching short, pleated skirt, and then selected knee-high calf-skin boots. She put her things on the bed next to him and raised a brow, with a smirk:: Enjoying yourself, cher? ::she drifts to a vanity, and sprays herself, lightly, with an intoxicating scent, not cloying or too sweet, subtle and complimentary to her usual scent, before she begins to undress::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 10:52:06 PM)
mmhmm..... *his eyes moving over her body as she moved about and he smiled at her*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 10:54:35 PM)
::she moved towards the bed and her tank and her shorts are off in a few seconds, revealing a tiny pair of black panties. Getting herself in the corset, she turns, looking over her shoulder:: Si vou plait? The laces?
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 10:55:13 PM)
*he would get behind ehr and slowly lace it up. Pulling them as someone who knew what he was doing and taking his time to make sure it was done properly*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 10:57:21 PM)
::she held onto the bedpost, and she moved well, this was something she'd done, a lot. She occasionally peeked over her shoulder at him, an amused smile on her face. Her waist so tiny, his hands could just about span it... almost.::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:00:25 PM)
*when it was done he would lean in and kiss her shoulder softly as his hand slid over her ass* you look amazing already
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 11:02:09 PM)
::she looked to him and smiled softly:: I'm not done. ::but she leaned in and kissed his cheek:: Merci, cher... ::leaning over a bit, and she grabbed the skirt, wriggling into it, the pleats were an inky black, shot through with silver. She bent over to sit on the bed and get those boots on::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:03:07 PM)
*kneeling down at the foot ofthe bed he woul move ehr hands and finish doing up her boots. a smile up at hr once he was doen and kiss given to her knee*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 11:05:14 PM)
::she smiles to him and she leaned down, kissing his forehead lightly:: Merci once more, ange... ::she stood up and moved to her mirror, looking it over, before she turned and looked to him, posed perfectly::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:05:23 PM)

Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:06:01 PM)

Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 11:07:38 PM)
::she smiles and leaned against him:: Oui.. I am. Shall we?
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:08:34 PM)
*another kiss given to her neck as he held her for a moment longer* sorry about all the bullshit you've been dealing with.... hopefully its over for now.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 11:12:37 PM)
I hope it's over as well. I've been... trying to understand. To learn.. ::she arched her neck, and sighed very softly:: Merci... by the way... for offering to take care of me. I appreciate it...
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 11:12:56 PM)
::her arms had curled around him, lightly resting::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:17:09 PM)
well i like you and i think you have potential for greatness... i would hate to see that wasted. *he smiled* and today i kind of got the feeling you do not like the idea of amos watching over you.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 11:19:18 PM)
::she tilts her head:: Potential for greatness? In what way? ::genuinely curious for now, her eyes inquisitive as they watched his, always looking for that damn tell:: I... it's not that I don't like -him-. I do not feel that we are a right ... match. In both directions. He cares for me because Lina does... I... sort of get the same impression of you. ::tilting her head to him::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:20:58 PM)
*he smiled* Noi i actuallyreally like lina... I hope i didnt come off to harsh but I was trying to let her know how bad things could be, my kind takes things the wrong way quite often and many of them value human life very little.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 11:22:51 PM)
::she smiles, obviously a little relieved, and she nodded:: I understand... there's a lot at stake. This isn't just about me, but the big picture. I, however, have the curiosity of a cat.. ::she pauses and tilts her head:: And you? Where do you stand on human life?
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:24:32 PM)
It is a useful tool.... not all ofyou realize your greatness... some choose to be animals instead of beaings gifted with creation at their fingertips. Most look out at the world and see a decayed and rotten pool.... but what they refuse to see is that none of this was here thousands of years ago... hell most of it wasnt even here fifty years ago... your capacity for unbridaled creation is stunning.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 11:26:43 PM)
::she raises a brow, smirking softly:: I'm more than a tool, Zac... ::she nods:: You can see what potential there is... you don't... wish them all dead? ::again, watching his eyes::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:28:59 PM)
we are all tools.... tools of creation.... tools of enlightenment.... tool of a higher purpose. In some way we function to acheive a goal and a purpose. And no... the ones deserving will come with us once this world has gone to dust.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 11:31:51 PM)
Let us hope that is not soon, oui? ::she leaned in, and impulsively, offered him a soft kiss, plump lips lingering against his for a moment::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:32:53 PM)
*he would return the kiss and smile at her* I take it you like my answer huh?
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 11:34:44 PM)
I will accept it, for now, ange. ::she smiles to him::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:35:42 PM)
guess thats good enough for now... *he smiled*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 11:37:08 PM)
::she laughs softly:: I won't push my luck tonight... shall we?
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:39:06 PM)
of course... *he would lead her down towards the car and let her in...dirving off towards parts unknown as they chat* so does lina like me or no?
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 11:41:01 PM)
::as they left, she plucked a red rose from a bouquet in a vase, tucking it in her hair with ease, and adding the splash of color, she looked to him, legs crossed in the car:: Do you want her to?
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:42:31 PM)
if course... she is important to you and i get the feeling we wont be stopping hanging out anytime soon yknow?
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 11:44:18 PM)
::she smiles, looking out the window, noting where they were going:: She has... obvious concerns... but she hasn't told me not to hang out with you. She just needs to get to know you... that is all.
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:45:03 PM)
what concerns? *he asked keeping his tone easy and casual*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 11:46:46 PM)
::she lets her eyes go back to him and she raises a brow, studying his face, his eyes:: You are a celestial creature, non? You can do things that humans cannot, non? That already makes you considerably different than the men I usually date. ::she smirks, eyes still studying him::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:47:53 PM)
*he smikred and let his eyes move to her as he continued to drive* she hangs out with celestail beings all the time... there has to be something else... specific to me.
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 11:49:37 PM)
::she flicks an eyebrow:: I haven't fucked a celestial creature before... ::lips curved in a smirk:: She is very careful of me, as I am of her.
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:50:06 PM)
*he nodded* fair enough... well we should hang more then...
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 11:51:01 PM)
The three of us? ::she smiles:: Our work schedules aren't concurrent, but I will be working on that with the Captain tomorrow. I need to arrange something.
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:52:00 PM)
Sounds great to me doll... *he would park in an old abandoned seeming area near a large factory. random cars scatteed about as the dull thumping could be heard* you ready?
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 11:52:33 PM)
::she nodded to him, looking for any police or security presence, out of habit::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:53:24 PM)
*there was none... he walked around teh car and helped her out as he then moved a hand to her lower back to lead her towrads the building*
Lucinde Duboir (May 10, 2011 11:55:23 PM)
::she slipped out, looking statuesque and elegant as she moved, graceful as she moved, hips swaying, the short skirt only accentuating the way they moved:: There is no security? ::flicking a brow up, as she spoke softly::
Zacarias Martin (May 10, 2011 11:56:16 PM)
