Rosabella: Newt is in the room, sitting down and fiddling with her phone. She looks up when you enter, and waves you to. "Hey! So, uh, what's up?" What do you do? Kenji: "Kenji." You hear the voice whispering to you just before you get back to the table. "Kenji, if this is going to be a one time thing then it's fine, but don't get too close to Cassidy. She's far too dangerous and unpredictable. If you or she are going to want this to be an ongoing relationship, don't go with them." What do you do?

 Hot: 1 | Cold: 2 | Volatile: - 1 | Dark: -1 Exp: 4/5 | Harm: 1/4 | Conditions: Terrified, Drained, Suspicious I spot Newt and collapse into the chair next to her, sighing loudly. She stares at me quizzically as I just give her a sidelong glance and a raised eyebrow. Instead of answering her question, I just reach out and place my hand gently on her forearm, teaching my fingers across her skin, enjoying her softness. Another sigh. Back in the day - what am I saying, it's barely been six months - well, before all the poo poo went down with my father... before I lost everything and had to rebuild my empire... Newt was always... interesting to me. A quiet shy girl... an enigma. Somebody to see at company events, but never close enough to chat with. And then the feds came and her father hung himself with some Christmas lights in her family's garage. Rumors are that she's the one that found the body, though if that's true, she's never talked about it. Still, her mother came running to mine for help, setting me and Newt on a crash course for friendship, even though the first two months were basically her in a walking coma and me doing anything to just get her to smile. Which is, funnily enough, where the whole pink hair idea came from. I give her arm a little squeeze, "Oh, you know, stuff." Sigh three. "I'm pretty sure your Cassidy crush is in vain - she beat me up when I told her that somebody had a crush on her. Her thing for Alicia must be real... which kind of sucks since Alicia seems the kind to date anybody that asks, and get down with even more." I lean my head over and rest it on her shoulder. It's soft, nice, warm. I purr a little. Rosabella turn on Newt = 12 String! This is nice. It feels... right. I turn my head to look up at her, but pause suddenly as pain tips through my chest. I cough and double over, the taste of blood returning again to my lips. "Jesus Christ, what the hell did Cassidy do to me?"

 Hot: 2 | Cold: -1 | Volatile: -1 | Dark: 1 --- Experience: 4/5 | Harm: 0/4 | Conditions: - Slut With Kenji up paying the bill, as tempting as it is to just get even more cuddly with Cassidy, I resist the urge and hurriedly eat one of the slices of pizza. We'll take the rest with us, but I don't think we're going to have time to eat much food after we leave, and I have a feeling I'll need some energy. Soon enough Kenji is back, offering me his hand like a gentleman, and I take it with a smile. The way these two are coming at me from different directions is working really well - so I stand up with his help and pull myself close to him, looping my arm around his again and leaning in to kiss him on the cheek. "Cass, can you grab the pizza?" Smile brimming over with excitement, I hold out my other arm for her to take, so my two partners can escort me to the car. I can hardly wait!

 Hot: 1 Cold: -1 Volatile: 2 Dark: -1 Harm:1/4 Exp: 1/5 Conditions: Location: Pa's Pizzeria -> The Car Hello, my name is Cassidy Slade. I'm a tough gal who doesn't take poo poo from anybody. My default mood is "grumpy" or "mad," or a combination of both. People say I'm more like an unchained animal than woman, and they have no idea how right they are. None of that matters though when my soon-to-be-maybe girlfriend whispers sweet nothings into my ear, and I'm reduced into a gibbering mess. My entire face goes red, and, for just that one moment, all the ferocity within me evaporates. It's a good thing Kenjis busy handling the check, cuz I sure as hell don't want him to see me like this. God, she's beautiful. "H-huh? The p-pizza? Y-yea, okay." I grab the leftover pizza, and wrap my free arm around hers. She looks so excited, and I can't help but share her excitement. Kenji's a nice bonus, too. Not somebody I'd like to be with in the long-term, like Alicia, but who knows? I take them both to my car. There should be enough space in the back for the three of us, I think. I untangle myself from Alicia's arm, put the pizza box on the car roof, and fish out my keys from my pocket. Before they could get in, I hold out my hand in a "stop" gesture at Kenji. "Whoa there, champ. You'll be sitting in the front, with me. I'm not letting you two start the party early without me." I give him a sly grin. "A little anticipation never hurt anyone, right?" I shove the pizza box onto his arms, "Also, would you mind holding onto this for a bit while I drive? Thanks." I get in, and start up the engine. "Alright, kids, get on in. The party's not going to start itself!"

Rosabella: Newt looks shocked when you tell her this, and also a little awkward when you have your hand on her arm. "Uh, are you sure? I mean, uh, are you sure she didn't like...misinterpret it somehow? I thought you and she had liked, you know. Worked something out this morning?" When you cough, she leans over. "Oh! Are you all right? Do you need to go to the nurse or something?" What do you do?

I reach out and use Newt's shoulder to stabilize myself. "Yeah... we had a deal worked out. That Alicia though... she's a goddamn snake." I smile grimly, finally pushing myself up, back onto my seat. I lean back into the soft black leather, marveling at the student commons. So fancy and refined... and hiding such a dark cruel secret as to house people like Alicia here. What a perfect fitting joke for reality. Too bad I'm the only one here that even sees it. Still, it's nice to be paid attention to finally. And Newt's cute pink hair smells so nice... I know it's wrong, but is it really so bad that I want her right now? It's unfair that she has feelings for somebody as crude as Cassidy. Newt deserves somebody that will actually care about her feelings... and I'm right here! I turn to look her in the eyes, "I... I don't know if it's that serious... Would you be willing to look? My room is just around the corner..." 10:04 Ferg rosabella manipulate newt 10:04 Ferg .roll 2d6+1 10:04 Platonibot Ferg: 7 (2d6+1=4, 2) Tell me what I need to do to get some sexual healing from Newt!

Rosabella: "Oh, uh yeah let's...take a look then! I think there might be a first aid kit? Maybe probably?" She lifts you up by one arm and helps you walk out of the common room and into your dorm room. "So Alicia did something, huh?" You can tell, from how long you've known her, Newt is going to do something about that. Maybe not something smart or effective, but Alicia is definitely on her shitlist as well at the moment. She seems to be more upset about that then not getting a date with Cassidy. Newt sits you down on the med, a plan box of first aid supplies on hand. She opens it and looks at you. "So, uh. What's the problem? We'll fix it." Her smile goes down a little "Hopefully. If it's not too bad." She looks around nervously, biting her lip. "Uh, maybe Alicia told Cassidy some really big lie and that's why she hit you so hard?" You can see - Newt wants to believe that Alicia is at fault for this. She'd be very happy if you say you agreed that this was what happened. Even if you don't believe it yourself. What do you do?

Hot: 1 | Cold: 2 | Volatile: - 1 | Dark: -1 Exp: 4/5 | Harm: 1/4 | Conditions: Drained, Suspicious I allow Newt to lift me from the chair, fitting my arm around her shoulder and helping me walk back to my room. There's something strangely... warm... about it all. Like she actually cares for me. Like, she's happy to help me even if it gets in the way of what she wants to do. What is that? She asks about Alicia, and I can tell she's trying to rationalize Cassidy's actions. She wants to blame Alicia for all of this. And... to an extent, I can understand it. Alicia has Cassidy trapped in her web. But at the same time, Cassidy seemed well aware of what she was doing. She even... knew not to hurt my face. Wanted to spare me from embarrassment. She's smarter than she looks... which isn't saying much. Still, Newt seems pretty apprehensive about it all as she drops me onto my bed and gets out a first aid kit. Newt wonders aloud again about Alicia, clearly hoping to use her as a scapegoat. I frown, "I don't know, Newt... I thought I had Cassidy all figured out this morning, but then... Alicia clearly had a hold on her, but I'd be lying if I thought she hit me purely out of that. I just... why don't people like me, Newt?" I look up at her pleadingly. "I tried helping you with Cassidy... I tried helping her with her social status... I'm throwing two parties tonight... hell, I even tried helping Alicia get attention for her artwork..." I sigh, leaning back in my bed. "I wonder if anybody even cares about what I want." I look up at Newt, with her cute face and adorable hair. What do I want? Maybe... She's busy digging through the first aid kit, so I take the moment to unbutton my blouse, revealing a nasty dark red bruise in the center of my stomach - and my semi transparent designer bra. Kenji seemed to like it enough earlier... maybe Newt will too. I prop my head up and gaze at Newt while she finishes digging. "So... what do you think?"

Rosabella: As Newt gets some items out of the kit, she says "Maybe people like Alicia are just jealous? Because you're like, very well known. And popular? And she's not?" She doesn't seem too sure about her answer though. "But I care. You're my best friend." Then she drops some of the items on the bed when you open up your blouse. "Oh. Uh. Looks kind of bad but maybe it's not?" She tries to just focus on the bruise, but her face is turning a little red. "Uh yeah. So uh just lie down for a bit? I think?" She doesn't seem to quite get what you're going for here - you're probably going to need to be more direct with her. What do you do?

It's not like I'm trying to mess with her or anything but... well, it's kind of cute how she respond to this kind of stuff. A kind of cuteness that's wasted on somebody like Cassidy. I respond demurely to her speculation, "Maybe..." She tells me to lie down and I nod in response, "Yes ma'am." I lean back, pulling my shirt to the sides and revealing the rest of my slim figure. I rest my head on my pillow and relax, looking up at Newt as she fumbles around with an ice pack. Her fingers touch my stomach and I gasp suddenly, both due to the pain from her touch and from the softness of her fingertips. This... excitement... anticipation. I have no idea what she's thinking... but that doesn't mean I can't ask... "So.. .Cassidy, huh?" I ask while her fingers do their work, "I didn't know you... felt that way about girls. When did you - you know - realize it? Have you had feelings for anyone... else?" I squirm a little under her touch as she continues applying whatever it is down there. "Have you ever thought about... kissing another girl? It's not that easy, you know - kissing. Takes practice to get it right." I lift my head a little bit, running a hand underneath to prop it up so I can get a better look at Newt. "I'd be happy to give you some pointers... if you want." I'm starting to think Rosabella should be more spider-themed than bee. Frgrbrgr fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Dec 15, 2016 |

"Alright, let's just go fast, okay?" While we all pile in and Cassidy starts the car up, I pull out my phone and put the location I have in mind into the GPS - 'Turn Left in One Block' - then lean forward to kiss Cassidy's neck first and then Kenji's. No, I didn't buckle myself in, why?

Hot: 1 Cold: -1 Volatile: 2 Dark: -1 Harm:1/4 Exp: 1/5 Conditions: Location: The Car "Grk." Great, now I feel guilty. Maybe I shoulda had Kenji drive while I "warmed up" (heh) Alicia in the back, but it's too late for that now. Ah, whatever. The place isn't that far from here. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes to get there. A few, long, minutes. I gasp a little as I Alicia kisses my neck, "Geez! I'm trying to drive over here," I say in a joking tone. I follow Alicia's directions until we finally arrived at our destination, and I don't even wait. As soon as I park, I grab Kenji by his shirt collar, and pull him in for a fierce kiss. I was practically devouring him, attacking him with my lips and my tongue. After I had my fill, I let go of him, and lick my lips. Mm~ Not bad... I've kept Alicia waiting long enough. I climb to the backseat, and wrap my arms around Alicia. The kiss I give her is not as ferocious as the one I gave Kenji, but it is more passionate. I reluctantly break away from the kiss, and look at Alicia with a gentle smile, "I'm sorry for making you wait so long," I say, before I kiss her again. After our kiss, I turn to Kenji, and slowly start to unbutton my shirt, "Come on, Kenji," I lick my lips again, "Don't keep us waiting now~" Fading?

Rosabella: "Just kind of uh, realize I didn't seem to look at boys the same way. And then at first I thought Cassidy was kind of weird but she seems kind of cool but now uh, I don't know." Newt's face turns completely red when you offer to kiss her. "N.N.no not really." Her hands are shaking with nervousness. "Haven't. Done. Much. Like that. I mean I kind of figure it's like kissing a boy right and I've seen that happen so it'd probably be the same right and like it's not too different do you know have you kissed a girl before uh sorry if that's rude oops I dropped something." This gives her the break needed to try and regain her composure. "Uh are you. Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you uh. Offering to pretend to be Cassidy for kissing...practice?" She might be into it, but she's going to be thinking about Cassidy during. What do you do?

 As I climb into the frontseat with a pizza box shoved into my arms, I'm almost too high on the situation to notice the little whisper in the back of my ear, less sweet than Alicia's or even a growl from Cassidy. "She's far too dangerous," it says, sounding like a nagging mother. I know she's dangerous! That's the point! Idiot whisper-voice; doesn't he-she-it know that together we have nothing to be afraid of? We're in this situation because I want to be, and now I'm being cautioned! Why couldn't he bring this up later?! If I could yell at him for being obtrusive right now -- Ah, but Alicia's even moreso, and Cassidy as well once she's found a place to park. Lips can do so much more than speak, and the pair of them have already begun a promising demonstration on my neck and with each other. The pizza box ends up on the floor as I slip from my seat to join in the tangle of skin-on-skin, exploring Cassidy's bared neck with kisses alongside Alicia, who's doing the same... the logistics quickly become meaningless, the warning words nearly forgotten to the heightened pleasure of us pleasing us... almost. If Cassidy notices that I'm hyper-attentive to her desires, voiced or otherwise, I doubt it's something she'd complain about. She did seem to like me submissive, after all... fadin'

The forest hasn't quite started yet, but it's enough to keep us from being spotted from anyone driving by, which is all we need. The Faerie here is alive with the memories of other couples doing just what we are, heightening the mood for me at least, if not the others. I let Cass kiss me, apologize, and kiss me again before I response, grinning eagerly at her. "Don't be. You were right, I just didn't want to wait." I kiss her back once more, then let her turn to Kenji, hurriedly tugging my own shirt off over my head. And then Kenji's joined us in the back and my hands move to him, undressing him like a wrapped present, my heart pounding with excitement to see what's underneath. Fading

If she still thinks I'm doing this for Cassidy, well... she'll learn so enough. I smile devilishly as she stumbles over her response. Oh Newt, so terribly, terribly naive. I reach out a hand and grab hold of hers, stopping the trembling. Her hands are soft and warm, not at all like Kenji's earlier. His were rough and strong, but these - I can just imagine them running down my back, on my face, up my leg... "No, Newt," I say quietly, barely louder than a whisper, "I can't do that. I'm not like Cassidy, I can't kiss you like her even if I wanted to." I reach out with my other hand and caress her cheek, sitting up as I do, "But I can kiss you as me, Octavia." I lean in and give her a peck on the cheek, then move my head to whisper in her ear, "And we can do a lot more than that, if you desire... "

She's turning me down. Something in my chest shatters, leaving an ice cold glacier in its place. All the emotions from the past year - abandonment, shame, anger - come flooding back. Here's somebody else, another person, that I trusted... rejecting me. Part of me wants to grab her and throw her on the bed anyway, taking what I want... but that's not me. And though Newt is never going to be the same to me, she's still the one that helped me out the most. That doesn't change. I blink at her, then nod. "Oh... okay. Yeah... lay down." I pull back from her and roll away, laying down facing the wall. I listen as she quietly leaves the room, and shuts the door behind her. Farewell Newt. And hello Alicia and Cassidy, I think, as the anger inside me intensifies, melting the ice, forging something new.

I don't really want to move from here, our naked bodies tangled together so wonderfully, it's almost like an art piece on it's own, sweaty skin on sweaty skin on sweaty skin, with me in the middle. That turned out perfectly, better than I'd imagined. I thought Cassidy might have been unhappy about me including Kenji in with us, but I think she enjoyed having someone else to 'dominate' almost as much as I enjoyed watching her do it, and she didn't complain when I pushed myself between them so I can experience them both together either. Turning to face her and smiling my most seductive smile, I bring my lips slowly up to her ear to whisper, "I told you to tell me tonight if we were girlfriend and girlfriend, remember? Well, you know who I am a bit better, a greedy girl who wants to have you and sample some other people on the side. I'll always want you though. So tell me, are you willing to overlook that flaw, and make me yours?" I bring my lips back around, and kiss hers lightly. "Of course if you want to try someone out, we can do that too~" Asking Cassidy to promise not to make a big deal out of Alicia wanting to sleep around a bit, accept or refuse and give me 2 strings.

Why the hell do I need football anymore when I get all the exercise I need from all these sexcapades with Alicia, heh. Still, I'm surprised at myself. I didn't expect to enjoy it all this much. I thought watching Alicia being touched by another person would get me really angry, but it... didn't? Actually, it was kind of a turn on. Kenji wasn't half-bad himself. It's not everyday I meet a man who can keep up with me like he did. I should probably still apologize for all those scratch marks on him later, though. Alicia turns to me, and my face goes red again when I see her smile. I listen to her talk, and once she's done, I look at her, straight in her gorgeous eyes, and say, "...You know, if you had asked me this question a few hours ago, I'd probably say no to that. But now? Now I think I understand. That's just who you are, isn't it? You like being with people, and experiencing them, right? Heh, I think I can see the appeal." I wrap my arms around her waist, and bring her in closer to me. "Remember when you asked me to be me? To be Cassidy? I want the same for you. I want you to be you. I want you to be the Alicia I..." I gulp as my face reddens even more, "...love." Well, I said it now. There's no taking that back. "...Just let me know next time, alright? Who knows," I give her a wide-grin, "Maybe it's someone we can share." Making the promise.

I didn't even need to say it, but she understood the reason perfectly. "Thanks Cass," I snuggle up closer to her, enjoying both that and way she can go from ferocious to blushingly shy withing seconds. "I don't know if I love you, so I won't say it yet, but I haven't felt quite like this for anyone else, so maybe it. We'll see, I think." I kiss her again, and trail off into silence for a long moment, content to just lay there. But oh, I should talk to Kenji too, he's probably feeling a bit left out after that! Squirming a bit, I turn over to face Kenji, and give him a kiss as well, one that's a bit more teasing than tender. "I hope you enjoyed that as much as we did Kenji." I smile wider, "if you ever want another go... well I think I'm speaking for both of us when I say that you know where to find us~" I bring my lips around to his ear, nibbling gently on the lobe to contrast with Cassidy's rougher attentions earlier, then whisper, "I wanted to ask you about something personal. This isn't the place though, will you tell me another time?" Asking Kenji to promise to tell Alicia what she wants to know some other time. Making the promise or give me 2 strings~

To be honest, I'm still catching my breath. Cassidy and Alicia: both beautiful, both in love, both so different, and both worth appreciating on their own merits. I'm tired down to my very core -- I'd be surprised if Cassidy didn't give me a couple bruises to remember her by, though Alicia might have given me something for the road as well -- but it's a good sort of tired, one I don't really mind at all. They really do look good together. In a weird way, as I listen to them talk I'm glad my being here hasn't hosed things up between them. Then Alicia addresses me, and I shift a little against the two of them as her lips play deliciously against my ear, and I nod in agreement with her first sentence -- I just might. "Of course you can talk to me," I tell her, sounding a little puzzled. It sounds like it's important to her, though I have no idea what the hell it could be about. "Whenever you want." But as I make the promise, even though I really mean it I feel a little hesitation. I'm not entirely sure why, though? Alicia's not the dangerous one, Cassidy is, and she's explicitly said she wanted to talk to me alone. I'll think about it later. I'll figure out Cassidy later, and I'll deal with my stupid Whisper later, and -- crap -- I'll figure out how to handle Rosabella later. I sink back against the pair of them again with a gentle sigh, letting myself reclaim the comfort of the moment that I almost lost. There's still time. There's no rush. Making the promise.

If she said she didn't love me... well, it'd hurt like hell, but at least I knew where I stand. An "I don't know" can mean so many different thing. For all I know, she might only like me for the sex and nothing else. Then again, we've only been together for... a day? Of course she wouldn't know. Ahh, I'm worrying too much about it. She'll tell you when she's sure. Whenever that is. Just enjoy the moment, Cassidy, you deserve it after the day you had. I shuffle over to Alicia, and kiss her gently on the neck. No biting... this time. I move my lips up to her ear, and whisper, "Alica... I- did my pants just vibrate?" Must be my phone. I don't remember bringing anything... else with me. I stretch out my left leg, and bring my pants closer to me. I lift it up, and fish out my phone. From Rosabella posted:Hey all!

You might not have my brawn, but you have that sharp brain of yours, and there's no way someone like you would ever actually forgive someone like me for what I've done, unless snakes can have a change of heart. You want me to come, don't you? You have some kind of scheme cooked up, don't you? Something you think would break me? Bring it on. I'm Cassidy loving' Slade, and I don't run away from any fight. Not anymore. "Hey, babe," I lean over to Alicia, showing her the messages with a wicked grin on my face, "I think you and I still have a party to crash tonight."

Hot: 2 | Cold: -1 | Volatile: -1 | Dark: 1 --- Experience: 4/5 | Harm: 0/4 | Conditions: - Slut "Thanks Kenji~" I grin at him, and stretch, spreading my arms to either window. "Sooo... You two want me to show you something am- mm, Cass -oh, I think mine are too..." Well that moment got a bit derailed, irritatingly. Grumbling, I fish my cellphone out as well, checking the messages. Two from Rosabella. The party... and the painting. I... had really been planning on ditching, and leaving her to sink without a piece. And yeah, gonna do that! Sorry Rosabella, should have done what I asked you to! Buuuut Cassidy almost immediately throws a wrench in that plan. I mean - showing Cassidy and Kenji Faerie sounds like a LOT of fun, and screwing Rosabella over in the bargain sounds even better, but... when Cass says that to me, with that smile... Ahh, it's like she knows exactly what my weakness is. I grin back at her, not even reluctantly, and nod. "You've got a date then~" And I have a couple texts to send back to Rosabella. @Rosabella posted:You going with Donny? @Rosabella posted:Well Cass talked me into it @Rosabella posted:And promise you wont try to get revenge on Cass for hitting you I look between my two still naked companions, and smile. "Well... I wanted to show you two one of my favorite places around here, but... It'll take a bit more time than we have. I'll give you both a raincheck on it."

It's like thinking her name brought everything back. I scold myself as I fish my phone out of my pocket, which necessarily involves correcting my state of slight undress. It could only be her, if we're all getting texts. And of course I still want to go, I need to be there, but it's... complicated, now. Because of Cassidy. Of course because of Cassidy. I strongly distrust Rosabella's choice of emoji, and stare at the pale yellow smiley longer than necessary. Processing it. Internally grumbling. I let the screen go black. "Yeah," I say wearily to the both of them. "We should probably -- yeah." I want one of them to change their mind, but I don't think either of them will. It's not like Rosabella will be a pain to deal with, but I just don't want to. It's like swatting a hornet. They're small, and it's simple, but if you do it barehanded you're probably going to get stung. And I've never really told the little friend in the back of my head off quite the way I did earlier, before I crawled in the backseat -- will it be mad? Will it still even work? I mean, it has to. We need each other. That thing will get over it. It's like Cassidy said. We -- including myself here, since she didn't -- have a party to crash.

Hot: 1 Cold: -1 Volatile: 2 Dark: -1 Harm:1/4 Exp: 1/5 Conditions: Location: The Car "I knew I could count on you, babe." I give her another kiss on her soft neck, "You're favorite place, huh? Mm~ I know where mine is right now..." Oh Jesus Christ did I really just say that? gently caress, last time a guy tried a line like that on me, I laughed myself out of bed. Now I'm the one saying all the cheesy romantic poo poo. I can feel my face going red from embarrassment again. "...S-sorry. That- uh- sounded better... in my head." I reluctantly let go of Alicia, and replied back to Rosabella's "challenge." @Rosabella posted:glad 2 hear that. thanks but i dont need any help. see u 2nite, rosie~ With that out of the way, I get to work putting my clothes back on. Putting 'em isn't the hard part, it's finding 'em. Things got a little... heated. I am not looking forward to cleaning up this car later. Maybe I can convince Kenji to help me out. Speaking of Kenji, what's eating him? Guy looked pretty content a few minutes ago, but now he looks like he's worried about something. "Hey Kenji, you okay?" I look at him with genuine concern, "Something bothering you? Is it Rosabella? Well, whatever it is, I'm here for ya, bud. I'm here for both of ya, cuz unlike Rosie," I flash them a smile and a wink, "I look out for my pack." I might not know Kenji all that well, but during that moment we shared, I felt... something. Something... familiar. I can't really put my finger on what it is. 'Sides, Alicia seems to like him, and that's good enough for me. After I'm done dressing back up, I hop on back to the driver's seat, fix the rear-view mirror, and start up the engine. Before I head out, I turn around to my two passengers, and say, "Last chance. If any of you have any doubts about headin' to the party, speak now, or forever hold your piece."

"Yeah, I'm fine. A little tired, but -- I think that's understandable, right?" I joke. "But you know what they say about good things -- we gotta head back sometime." I wish I knew whether I was worried about Rosabella (why the hell would I be?) or myself. Maybe I'll just show up, find Rosabella and make her be cool with me again (still?), somehow, and then gently caress off. Yeah, that sounds good. I hesitate, trying to gauge the mood a little, but I'm not great at that so I just ask Cassidy straight up. "Did, uh, Rosabella deserve it? When you hit her?"

Hot: 1 Cold: -1 Volatile: 2 Dark: -1 Harm:1/4 Exp: 1/5 Conditions: Location: The Car "...Oh," I look at Kenji, slightly surprised by his question. "Guess Alicia told you about that, huh?" I cross my arms, and lean back on the driver's seat, thinking about how to answer Kenji's question, "...Rosa's been tryin' to control me since this morning, using my feelings for Alicia against me, and I kept letting her. No matter what I say or do, she'd always find a way to get under my skin," I look at Kenji through the rear-view mirror, "She acted like she had my best interest at heart, but, let's be honest, she doesn't give a drat about any of our feelings. All she cares about is controlling people, like we're nothing but disposable pawns to her." I look out the window, to the forest ahead of me. "...Before I came here, she was trying to get me to turn on you, Alicia. She told me about your, uh, date, and she called you..." I pause for a brief second, I know Alicia won't like what I say next, "...She called you a liar." "At that moment, I had to ask myself, who do I trust in the most? Rosabella, or Alicia? Was Alicia lying to me, or was Rosabella just trying to use me again? And, well," I turn, and smile at Alicia, "You can guess what my answer was." I turn back, and lean back on the seat, "That's when I hit her. Knee'd her right in the stomach. Half for Alicia, and half for myself. Words weren't working anymore with her. I had to show her, one way or another, that she can't keep having her way with me. She can't keep pushing me around, and not expect me to bite back." I turn and face Kenji, with my face not showing a hint of regret for what I've done, "So, yea, to answer your question? She deserved it. She's had it a long time coming, if you ask me."

Hot: 2 | Cold: -1 | Volatile: -1 | Dark: 1 --- Experience: 4/5 | Harm: 0/4 | Conditions: - Slut Oh my god, Cassidy is so cute. I start to giggle at her comment, the sound quickly turning into a snicker as she goes bright red and tries to hide her face. Not letting her, I lean over, keeping my face in front of hers, and kiss her cheeks and nose, still laughing softly as I do. "You're such a romantic dork Cass~ I love it~" I give her a few more kisses, then separate to start dressing and look at Kenji, noticing the change in his voice just like Cass did. Ugh, he's actually worried about Rosabella not deserving her punch? I open my mouth to explain why I asked her to, but Cassidy is already doing it, and gives a much better answer than I could have. "Aww, Cass..." I lean forward, reaching my arms around the back of her seat to give her a hug. "You remembered what I said, you're the best." I squeeze her extra tight, and then release her, moving to pick up the rest of my clothes and get them on. I'm going to have to change when I get back, these are all wrinkled, and not especially clean, drat. While I'm happy with Cassidy, she was right, I didn't like what she said, "Called me a liar, did she? Huh- we'll see who the liar is, stupid, bitchy..." I grumble myself into silence, glaring out the window at an imagined Rosabella, "well, I'm glad you trusted me Cass, and I told you about Kenji, didn't I?" Pulling my shirt on and wiggling to get it to hang comfortably, I reach around the seat one more time to touch her shoulder. "I'll show you how grateful I am to- ...some other night." I smile at her reflection in the mirror, fairly confident I'm not going to have the energy for anything like that tonight.

Of course, most are insignificant, but the ones from Cassidy, Alicia, and Kenji are enough to tell me that my actions are justified. They have no intention of bowing. No, I think, shutting my phone calmly and placing it back into my pocket. I sigh, then duck into the old art room, eager to get this meeting with Alicia done. Some people just don't deserve you, I muse to myself.

New scene, highlights refresh Time passes. The sun vanishes, the moon rises. The old art wing has a still beautiful skylight, through which the moon shines on through. Alicia: What's your plan for getting something worth auctioning off in such a short amount of time? And Rosabella refused to make those promises. You could back down, but then she could point out how you went back on your word - so both of you would get hit by it. What do you do? Rosabella: Well, things didn't go well this afternoon but you feel a little better. Remove 1 Harm from the first aid you and Newt gave you Alicia send some messages, why didn't you text back? Regardless she's here and alone. How are you going to set your plans in motion? Do you think she can actually make something decent in a short amount of time? What are the other three members of your group doing in preparation? What do you do? Cassidy: Alicia wanted to meet Rosabella alone. Are you all right with that? Regardless, your nose picks up the scent of Veronica before you see her. She and the rest of the team are walking by, when she sees you. "Hey! Slade!" Seems a little drunk. "You gonna do some group bonding activities today or just run off and sit by yourself? There's a party going on, we could all show up there." Do you trust Veronica? What do you do? Kenji: You're back in the school, putting some things away. Your friend hasn't talked to you since you has sex with Alicia and Cassidy, and the silence is broken when Mr. Cotterill shows up right next to you. "Ah! Kenji! Just the man I wanted to talk to. I spoke with Rosabella and she says that Emily is the one planning this. But you told me it was Rosabella." He pauses to see how you react. "Maybe a mistake. But I tried to talk to her and she ended up threatening to cancel the thing! I just wanted to talk to someone who knew what was going on. Is that you Kenji? I'm beginning to think there's something more going on here. You're not in any trouble, don't worry. I just have to make sure nothing unauthorized by the school is going on." What do you do?

Hot: 1 | Cold: 2 | Volatile: - 1 | Dark: -1 Exp: 4/5 | Harm: 0/4 | Conditions: Suspicious Clearing Drained for time elapsing Ah... nighttime. The dance starts in just an hour or so, good thing I took my time getting ready.  There's something cleansing about looking good. And changing my hair color, that's just a bonus. Covering up the scars and wounds from the day - drawing straight lines and accentuating features. It's all a ritual, one that women the world over undertake. And it's one that I perform particularly well. I am stunning tonight. Of course, that's going to aid me in my master plan. Here in Alicia's art refuge, I can tell why she likes it so much. It's quiet, here in a wing not often traveled by the regular students. And the smell - it's something ancient, powerful. Wood and dust and age. I run my finger along an ancient desk, wondering who sat in it... and what they went on to do in their life. Run a business? Rule a country? Or fade away into nothing. I clench my fist at the thought. That won't be me. I will never be nothing. And tonight - well, I'll prove it to everyone. I pull out my phone absentmindedly, checking for any messages. Alicia's sit unanswered in my inbox - good. I won't reward her with a response, at least, not via text. We'll talk, once we're on even footing. And alone. No Cassidy to throw a wrench in things, I think while touching my stomach gingerly. It still aches from pain, though Newt's aid has taken a lot of the edge off. I sigh - Newt. And the others, Emmie and Mandy. My friends... but after today, I'm not even certain of that, or maybe the use of friendship. Newt certainly doesn't feel the same way. Another sigh. Well, at least Mandy and Emmie are performing their actions. Emmie setting up for the party. Mandy and Donny... well... that's something for me to know and you to find out. Either way, they're performing admirably. There's only one thing left - this meeting with Alicia to secure the centerpiece for the auction. I browse the various paintings, both completed and not, scattered around the room. She paints with such an... alien quality. Like there's another world out there, somewhere, that she's painting instead. Airy, with lots of greens and reds and yellows. And vague figures representing people, dancing here, eating there, embracing. If only she wasn't a horrible bitch, I'd actually appreciate her talent. My eyes are drawn to one hidden in the corner - brilliant and beautiful, wasted here just like she is. It's some sort of majestic landscape, almost humbling in its beauty. Clear skies, hinted with purple hues, and monstrous red mountains cutting across behind a bright forest. A tiny river runs through the woods, leading to a lake just off to the side, where the water looks crisp and real. Whatever world this is, in Alicia's mind, it's a powerful one. I stare at the painting for a long while, so long that I almost don't hear the door opening behind me. That must be Alicia. With one hand, I make sure my crown is secure in place, then whirl to greet her. "Hello, dear. I've been waiting for you..."

Hot: 2 | Cold: -1 | Volatile: -1 | Dark: 1 --- Experience: 5/5 | Harm: 0/4 | Conditions: - Slut I'm not too worried about getting Rosabella some piece of mine to auction off, it's not like we're talking about a lot of money or anything. But this is Gutermuth, so anything of mine that looks interesting should go for a couple hundred dollars just because it's a good idea to invest it anyone who actually got here on talent, right? They'll figure I'll be a famous artist one day and so whatever early work of mine they get will be worth way more later. This is how rich people think, right? Anyway, Rosabella can pick what she likes from my selection, whatever else she has, she has a rich person's tastes. What's more on my mind is that she didn't reply to my messages to make those promises. Well, if she won't make them in person... she can kiss getting one of my paintings goodbye. Not having the time or the money Rosabella does, my pre-dance preparations are much lighter, and are essentially just me taking a quick shower, reapplying my light makeup and putting on a simple black chiffon dress which I'm not entirely sure doesn't clash with my dark blue red and purple dyed hair. But oh well. I didn't have a lot of time before I said I'd meet with Rosa - even if I said I would only if she made the promises, which she didn't - so that's that. Opening the door to the small studio room the school has provided for me, I take a few steps in and then come to a stop, slightly surprised to see Rosabella there already, but more by her new look. After a moment, I swing the door shut and smile casually at her. "I like your new look, it suits you." It's stunning, but I'm not going to go that far. Reaching up, I brush a few locks of my long dyed hair out of my face, moonlight softly illuminating me as I move further into the room and giving me a soft, elegant glow. "See anything you like?" [16:18:06] <GodFish> turn on Rosabella [16:18:10] <GodFish> !r 2d6+2 [16:18:11] <Krysmbot> GodFish, 10+2 = 12 [16:20:17] <Ferg> heh [16:20:46] <GodFish>  Taking a string on Rosabella, marking experience hitting 5/5. I'll spend that on Lure

Hot: 1 Cold: -1 Volatile: 2 Dark: -1 Harm:1/4 Exp: 1/5 Conditions: Location: School Campus Am I alright with Alicia meeting Rosa by herself? Of course I'm not! I wanted to go with her, but she insisted on doing it alone, and then she had to go and give me those drat puppy dog eyes. Why does she have to be so fricking adorable? Ugh. I know she's a big girl and everything, but this is Rosabella we're talking about here. If she does anything to hurt Alicia, I'm going to hang her up by her own entrails. ...Calm down, Slade. Take a deep breath. Don't lose control. Alicia is a tough gal, she can handle herself. Doesn't stop me from worrying about her, though. And then there's Kenji. He's been a little... off since we came back. He says he's fine, but I can practically see the worry on his face. Don't need my nose to tell me that something's bothering him. poo poo, why am I caring about Kenji now? I check the time on my phone. Just an hour to go till the big showdown. At least I managed to get a quick shower in. Couldn't do much about the suit, though. It's too much of a mess after the whole... thing in the car, and there's not enough time to fix it up. It's not like I have (or can afford) a spare, so I went back to the Cassidy Classic; a black, leather jacket, white shirt, denim jeans, and some fine-rear end brown, leather boots. Even had my hair pulled back inti a ponytail. Might not be the most appropriate party wear, but whatever, it's what I feel the most comfortable wearing. Hm. Why does it smell like a landfill is rolling in? Oh, it's Veronica. Great. Just who I needed, and she's drunk, too. Double great. Of course she's heading to the party, and of course she's dragging the team with her. A few of 'em don't look too happy about it. As much as I want to be there for them, I can't trust Veronica to not be a poo poo. Last thing I need is her constantly proding me. I lean back against the tree behind me, and cross my arms across my chest. "You can go on ahead without me," I wave a hand at her, dismissively, "I'm waiting for someone. I'll see you all at the party later."

Cassidy: "Aw come on Cassidy, don't be so anti-social." Veronica smiles and takes one of your arms in a seeming (but not really) friendly way. She begins pulling you towards the group. "We need to hang out as a team more often right?" She looks over at the rest of them, and they kind of sorta vaguely nod kind of. "Why spend your time sulking outside when you could be in and getting ready for a party? Come on!" She gives your arm a little bit of a stronger tug this time. What do you do?

"And by "getting ready," y'mean "getting poo poo-faced drunk?" Hey, remember the last time ya decided to get the team drunk before a party? Cuz I sure do. Ya made us look like a bunch of drat fools, and Jackie got suspended for a month because of you! And who was the one who had to clean up your mess? Who was the one who got the team back on track? Who checked up on Jackie to make sure she was okay? Oh, right," I point a finger at myself, "It was me. I was the one who helped the team get their poo poo back together, while you were off on some yacht party. So don't talk to me about "bonding as a team" when all you've been doing is breaking us apart. You're nothing but a drat leech!" I've got no patience for bullshit tonight, and I know very well that some members of the team, especially Jackie, are getting as tired of Veronica's poo poo as much as I am, so I decided to go ahead and vocalize their feelings for them. quote:Hugzilla> Cassidy shut down Veronica

That's the script she set out with her texts, so I'll follow along with it - for now. I move up to her side, looking at the same piece she is. "This one?" I'm a little surprised, it's not what I'd have expected her to pick. "I don't name most of my stuff, but I've always thought of it as 'Unbound'." I reach out, brushing my fingertips lightly over the lake, which is terribly bad form to treat a work of art, but I've never been too concerned about that for my own work. "When I painted it, I tried to create a landscape that said freedom, somewhere with it's own power, and where, if you were there, you'd be free from society, people, obligations and expectations. Just you and the natural world. Where you could just be yourself." My fingers - now just off the painting - move over to the mountains, "The mountains are a wall, tall and impenetrable, keeping out whatever else is in this world away, keeping the trees and river and lake safe, alone." There's a lot more symbolism, obviously, but I'm not going to get too wordy. "What drew you to it?"

Her words stroke a chord with me, the desire to be free from social constraints. She's a free spirit, no wonder age wouldn't go along with my plans. Her head's always in the clouds - always willing to toss away one painting for the next. It makes her a good artist. Unfortunately, my dear, it makes you bad at what comes next. I take my time with my response, making a show off thinking how to respond. "It's the... almost alien quality, I think," I muse, "It's so realistic, but it's far too gorgeous to be real. Like staring through a telescope at another planet almost like this one, but untouched by human hands. Unspoiled." I pull back a bit and the spell breaks. I'm here for a reason, not to daydream. I cough then whirl again to survey the rest of the paintings. "Anyways... I just need something for the charity - your piece is the headliner so it shouldn't be too small. Ultimately, up to you of course." I hold my hand out, gesturing to the many paintings around the room, "Ideas?"
