Constantine:

Kiss and Tell Tumblr_ncldq04j771rnkl6co7_500

I left my new boy, Dandelion his first real big mission, stay by Hope's bedside - my bed.

Its simple enough, I hope he can grasp it.

Hope was very badly burnt but recovering. I never had so much pumped into my head before so I zapped her. 1,200 old being was really rough. It was hard to remember most of it. I wasnt sure what was happening to Hope. It was not a demon. I wish Noomi could have told me, but she doesn't trust me. I'll have to look at the Tower for answers but first..

Back to dealing with Rowan. There was blackmail at the Purple Flower. He would not even consider going home when they could show the tunnels what he did under heavy drugs.

I read my father's letter on the carriage ride over, it was the only free moment I had so far.

I'll have to send him something back, I just... well ... nothing felt like a win right now.

The carriage stops at the Purple Flower, it has seen better days and probably would be out of business by now (since you can get sex almost everywhere in Havenland) if it did not offer other features. There was a motel of sorts and apparently blackmailing studios in the basement.

"Rowan stay in the carriage." I tell him seriously.

(Rowan): "I don't think this is a good idea...what if they post it because you confronted them?..."

"I can be persuasive..."

I tell him playfully before exiting the carriage with flowers and my bag.

"hello...for the lady of the house."

I give the butler flowers for Edward's wife, there was multiple women in flower theme and I had no idea who it was.

I rush quickly before any whores can talk to me down the stairs in haste.

(Elsin): "Old man George is back, outside drunk again."

(Edward): "Well go get him away, he's scaring the girls."

He snaps just a little before busying himself putting away some filming equipment.

"Edward, may we have a word..."

I come up behind him and do not phase him at all.

(Edward): "Its youuu! The little magic egg that is supposed to make all our lives better. Why your more rougher then I thought you'd be. You know I'd imagine you'd be a bit like Petrus, that allure..those souless eye...sucking you in. well you know back when she was a man. Your not feminine at all. Chiseled refine..."

The whole time he is grabbing my face and hair commenting like a show dog. he had long white mickey mouse gloves on.

Whoa...

(Edward): "I'd have to really see you with your shirt off but, no this is not capturing the whole chosen one idle. Your headshape is a little too ..squar-

"Ss..sir! Please may I speak?"

This is is alot.

He gestures at me smugly to go on ahead.

"What can I do to get what you have on Rowan Tytress destroyed? What do you want?"

(Edward): "Ohhhh well... err thats for the Tower and all. I do not get to decide those things, just do. Then the rent is free for the next 10 years.."

"Why Edward doesn't everything have a price?"

I quote his book title that came out a few years ago in another money scheme.

(Edward): "mm well. There are many accidents.. that happen..maybe it could get lost in a 'tunnel attack'." He makes air quotes with his hands and leans in close. "You can have it for a kiss.. and I want the photo sent to our fathers. I KNOW you can get something underground."

Really? THATS what he wants.

(Edward): "I just think it would be funny...dont you? Your mother may get a rise herself.."

"Uhh I dont..I cant kiss you.. or anyone. My power?" I babble a little unsure he even understood what it meant. He circles me playfully still sizing me up.

(Edward): "Whatever it is.. I can handle you.." He breaths near by ear but doesn't touch it.

(Edward): "I'm very powerful you know... my grandfather was THE Boron."

"Oh ok..er...I agree then.. I will show it to..my father and Tully...."

I am very worried FOR HIM but this is either going end two ways..

I try to relax myself so I dont hurt him to badly. I dont think I can make myself chill enough.

He sets up the tripod and I get into the shot.

"Just a peck-"

He kisses me with tounge.. damn him and I suck out all his blue energy out leaving him a crunchy husk sizzling as he fell.

I sure hope that camera took the picture in time...

*spits out ash awkwardly looking down at the body*

He will be... ok...

Kiss and Tell Tumblr_nhq13ys6pa1rnkl6co3_500

I pull his body towards the window, the sun will recharge him. He sizzles a little in the light and it smelt like BBQ.

My hair lights up in blue flame- Like HADES and I felt such a power rush it was almost unbearable to keep it all in.

Bites back a deep moan from within and tries to process it all.

I use this power to manifest a locator and find the newly done tape.

I burn it up and then scan what else was down here for anything else I could use.

*takes the picture, leaving the film for Edward...whenever he felt better*

I will my hair to stop flaming and it leaves it very dark black from the burning.

I swipe soot off my suit and walk back upstairs, locking the basement.

Do do do do do

*walking out causally waving to the whores*

(Elsin): "Hey, your Adrian's boss. What you want?"

He blocks the door and I try to make an excuse.

"Do you have anyone for sale..?" I ask trying very hard to not get too excited and flare up again with the energy, I was needing some new staff anyway.

(Elsin): "No this isnt a slavehouse, what do you think we are running here? This is a respectable bis Mr. Constantine."

Status : Writer

Lydia:

I wander over to Elsin's exchange with another young man in the building.

He seemed familiar but I could not recognize him at the moment

"Hello?"

I make my presence known to the both of them.

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Thu Oct 19, 2023 10:20 pm

Constantine:

Oh my Dane I really hope he gets up...

I smile at the..lovely family before me.

"Hello. I'm Rasal Constantine, it is so good to meet you, I've heard so much about this place and your the heart of it." I bow a little and the butler finely gives her the flowers now in a vase.

"I am visiting our town's fine establishments to see where the need is. Too help."

Status : Writer

Lydia:

I am handed a vase with flowers.

How lovely..

I bring the potted plant to my desk at the front and sit down.

"Have you assessed our need Mr. Constantine?"

I asked as he seemed to be on his way out the door.

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Fri Oct 20, 2023 12:20 am

Constantine:

"I did talk to Mr. Lovelace..." I trail off. "It was stimulating... but I would love to hear any of your thoughts as well ma'am?"

I inquire because now I have to do this thing that I said I was doing.

*as if my TO DO list wasnt long enough*

Status : Writer

Lydia:

I look over the young man having a hard time understanding what his motives here were.

He certainly wasn't a politician, nor did our business fit the requirements for a charity which left me to think he was a reporter trying to get some dirt on us.

"I can't think of anything myself?"

I stay partial.

"What did Mr. Lovelace have to say?"

I note we haven't heard from him for awhile...

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Fri Oct 20, 2023 12:41 am

Constantine:

I do not think she trusts me, shame. Her son watches slowly losing interest.

"I believe he wanted to..do a collaboration with me. I'll have to stop by again. Well I suppose I should get going and check out that quaint little cafe' down the street next."

I wave and head for the door quickly.

Status : Writer

Lydia:

I stand up and watch him leave.

"Elsin go check on your father and see if he is alright."

I sit back down again, hoping to be proved wrong about Mr. Constatntine.

But rarely was I ever..

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Fri Oct 20, 2023 9:50 am

Elsin:

Mother gets a look and tells me to check on Dad, crap.

I wasnt really sure what his deal was outside all those witch creeps at the tower think he's the latest big couristity of the town. I think he was also the new Governors nephew, of some sort of relation like it.

"Ok Mum."

I slowly walk downstairs expecting the worst. The door was locked. There was some ash on the ground.

Crap..

((Hey Dad?)) " I call not wanting to interrupt anything he was doing, he gets rather pissed.

I cant find his mind active.

I hit the door with my full strength and crack it in to to step inside.

Dad was propped by the open window getting sun, slowly regenerating back.

wow the town freak killed him...

*eyes sparkle admiringly **

**Remember Delsin only followed Leon after he killed Tully INPRESSED by his strength**

I snap out of being weirdly fassnated by Mr. Constantine's power and strength to do this to my father.

"Dad, your getting old.." I scold him and kneel down touching him and closing my eyes glowing slightly.

I quickly try to give him some of my energy to heal faster so Mum doesnt have to see him like this.

I mean shes seen alot of shit so, I don't think she cant handle it just.. you know. its bloody embarrassing Dad got taken out by a tower brat.

He wakes up laughing in pain and gaging a little.

*Edward is old and has done/tried everything he is sick enough to have fully enjoyed a new way to die, he is so hard to entertain or feel anything now adays*

(Edward): "Wowsers, maybe eggyboy is something special." He snorted as his eyeball popped back in his skull growing back with a nice pop.

I lean away from him wiping off some juice. Yuck.

Status : Writer

Lydia:

After awhile I join the boys in their scene.

Edward looked.. fresh.

I tilt my head wondering what happened? Then again maybe I should just leave it as Edward did tend to get into things that were better left outside my knowledge.

He did not look upset and that was what mattered.

"I think I am going to close up shop until the evening."

Things were slow and the girls needed their rest.

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Fri Oct 20, 2023 7:01 pm

Edward:

It has been a long time since I felt.. bad for everything I ever did. How strange to experience that again. Maybe to someone weaker it would be sobering but I was long gone.

The eggboy was impressive, most likely just lacking character from being in such a boorish environment.

If that was a kiss he could litterly fuck someone to death.

I grab a comb and try to fix my horrible hair when Lydia joins us.

"Hello my favorite flower, sorry for the delay.."

I lean over to kiss her with my FRESH baby like new lips.

"Somewhere to be? "I tease when she speaks of closing up the shop.

"Hmm yes things are slow.. maybe the night air will get blood moving again." I reply seriously, Mr. Constantine left quite a . aura behind I did not quite find productive. More reflective.

I need a drink or a distraction quick. I do not want to think too much of it.

Status : Writer

Lydia:

I smile at his kiss and tease.

"Perhaps?"

He was fresh, something happened.

"Care to join me at the bar?"

I ask wondering what his response will be.

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Fri Oct 20, 2023 9:43 pm

Edward:

"Are you asking me on a date?" I smirk a little. As if we we're that innocent.

(Elsin): "I'm still here.."

I look at him in annoyed, having forgot about him entirely

"You have seen plenty worst." I add in softly.

"Let's make it a family outing then, its been quite some time.."

I really only put on the effort for her half the time.

I offer Lydia my arm.

"Shall we?"

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Fri Oct 20, 2023 10:00 pm

Lydia:

I tilt my head and smile at his playfulness.

It was so good to have someone around here with a sense of humor.

Elsin pipes in and I give him an amused look.

Sometimes he acted so innocent, it was really quite endearing.

Edward takes the lead for our family outing, which suited me just fine.

"We shall."

I loop my arm with his and we head off together.

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Fri Oct 20, 2023 10:05 pm

Trojan:

We enter the bar.

The peculiar Valerian male which I soon learned to be called, Adrian, seemed surprised at the state of things.

Frankly so was I.

The place was clean and open for business.

But that of course meant nothing to me as I was here to check up on Constantine.

As I am sure I will be quite often now that he was decided to take up residence here.

"Constantine?"

I call out for him.

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Fri Oct 20, 2023 10:20 pm

Elsin:

I hope to ruin my parents 'date'. Utterly.

I don't think Dad realized the bar she was taking him to was Mr. Constntine's new place till we get there.

(Edward): "I think all our customers are here.." He jokes at how crowded it is looking around trying to understand the allure.

I get there and scope out a challenge. There was an older redhaired women who looked upset and easy at a table, keeping guard almost.

Quite a few blondes, but the kind that had money and could talk so they werent off the table.

Then there was a dark haired beauty who looked grumpy. She was calling to the owner too.

Some big shot Xern? Since she was so mysterious and all.

I move in, picking her out of the sad lot.

"Hello, I don't think I've seen you before. May I ask this hidden treasure to a drink?"

*shamelessly flirts*

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Fri Oct 20, 2023 10:37 pm

Trojan:

Constantine doesn't come out.

Must I walk in on him being raped?

I cringe ready to wander into the back when a local approaches to hit on me.

That shirt he was wearing was absolutely ridiculous.

(Adrian) "IIIIII'lll go check in the back for Constantine for you."

He awkwardly leaves our scene.

.........

"Uhm, no."

I fake politeness and keep on walking.

(Lydia) "Awe look at Elsin, isn't that cute."

I don't pay attention to the woman in the background and stand closer to the back door annoyed.

Half missing the days when all I did was supply runs.

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Fri Oct 20, 2023 10:52 pm

Elsin:

I did not notice Adrian there, he was awkward. Maybe I just hit on his girl then?

"Well thank you for making the room alot brighter by just walking in beautiful."

I reply ever so smoothly...till my mother has to say her piece.

I wave back to her trying not to scowl.

(Edward): "....mm guess that girl did not think he was so cute.."

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Fri Oct 20, 2023 11:06 pm

Trojan:

I stare at the door and the local sends more fluff my way.

Why did that get under my skin?

I turn to look at him annoyed.

"Does that really work on anyone?"

I ask bluntly.

"That line, or is this your first time hitting on someone?"

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sat Oct 21, 2023 5:56 am

Elsin:

I look back at the dark beauty surprised she had a comeback at all.

Ah-ha, so so she is interested.

"I do not have such problems with the usual town folk, but m'lady must tell me of her higher expectations and enlighten me?"

I gesture for a stool to sit down at and sit myself playfully.

Adrian better get his girl if he wants her, all bets are off if he leaves me alone with such a looker.

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sat Oct 21, 2023 8:36 am

Constantine:

I LOCKED my room but somehow Rowan had gotten inside and goes ballistic on me for keeping him here. I look at my door slammed to pieces.

MISSING my bouncer Adrian.

"I'm sorry do we not have , telepathy, magic and cellphones??? why cant any of these get you back."

I even sense Napoleon still here.... singing in my bathtub.

Seriously do I have to call his mother??

Thank Dane I took a shower last night to rid myself of the mud because I'm never using that again.

I chopped my hair off a little as well to try to do something with the new black singed look.

I grab a ridiculous red skull suit someone gave me as a gift at the opening, as it was the only clean one left. I had no time for laundry.

(Rowan): "Constantine.. I NEED to go back to her now. Do you understand I..I.."

He comes up to me mid me putting my pants on - NOT thinking it was weird to dress in front of him at all from our up bringing but obviously he was warped now so I should not have tempted him -

"Back off.."

I poke him back with my cane in warning and twist the belt on tightly.

"I tried to help you but its hopeless if you wont TRY. "

He was far to weak willed to be out here, I think Eiden is stronger willed and thats not saying alot.

"Eiden is probably dead. Rowen. Go home"

(Rowan): "Bah.Hes not dead... hes not fully human anymore.."

I tilt my head.

"What do you know about it? Or would you like me to drop you down a tunnel hole and let my father squeeze it out of you."

I press his thoart with my cane forcing him back to a wall in another ring lord mood swing.

(Rowan): "Its like Gypsy Romano and Juliet play, they make people act it out.. Eiden and your maid... but maybe its Francine and Eiden.. I don't know...usually they dont pick people..who are powerful to do it. I hear..if you live through it... you get some power."

I remember Noomi out that night... why didn't she tell me? I could have locked Hope up.

Bitch!

Unless she did it.....

I shake off the thought.

No no she would never...

I cant think like that. I remove the cane and Rowan flicks his little creepy reptilian eyes at me.

Maybe he is so micro managed by all those dark forces for all this time, he cant do anything without command.

I summon some of the power up into a message blue orb and whisper into it.

"I have your pet turtle, I think I'll keep him if you do not collect soon luv."

I whisk is out the window to go find her and use the phone for Neressia not to be so ..dramatic.

The Golden Tower lobby clerk picks up and I leave a message.

"Your SON is in my bathtub, please get him I picked him up in the park last night he wont tell me anything."

I sigh putting the phone down watching Rowan trash my room as a big turtle beast.

Napoleon runs out in only a towel downstairs into the club.

I decide I will wear the half face mask this suit costume came with.. .it was a big mood.

I slowly make my way down after him leaving the feral turtle locked in my room.

Trojan:

This wasn't an act for this guy, this was actually who he is.

"I wander next to him but don't sit down.

"Do you come here often?"

I switch the topic, wondering if he knew Constantine well enough to give me a heads up about him, as Adrian and Constantine were sure taking their time in the back.

I will give them another minute before crashing their scene.

I see the other man from the photograph sitting across the room and stiffen.

"Who is he?"

I ask

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sat Oct 21, 2023 10:41 am

Adrian:

I dodge the one in the towel on my way over to Constantine.

He looked strait out of a halloween catalogue.

I punch him square in the mask for planting that photograph on me.

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sat Oct 21, 2023 1:26 pm

Constantine:

Adrian takes advantage of my mask to punch in me in the face through it.

OW! He has some arm for a mere valerian Wink

That hasn't happened since I was a teeanger. I smirk a little twistedly enjoying the contact as I felt a little blood in my nose. There was now a crack in the mask as it tilted on its side.

"I deserve that, yes. But I had to deliver that photo fast.."

I beckon him into a near by closet so I could tell him. I KNOW he does not like mindspeak but I do it anyway because the place was so crowded.

((I'm trying to get my father to come out here.. he alone can control the governor and if you control the governor you can control Havenland and the Tower Coven...)))

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sat Oct 21, 2023 1:38 pm

Adrian:

Constantine fills me in on his little plan for world domination through his father.

He is even crazier than I thought!

I HATE mind speak and the fact that I could receive anything right now was an indication that I was too sober.

((So you are telling me I had my ass handed to me by a bloody dragon so you can control the town and then what? World peace?!?))

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sat Oct 21, 2023 2:07 pm

Elsin:

The mystery girl now gives me a overused pick up line 'Do you come here often?'

I give her a raised eyebrow.

"You think THATS a good pickup line?"

Before I seriously answer she asks about my father. She really must not get out much if she did not recognize him.

"That's my father and mother, the Lovelace's who own the Purple Flower. We're on a ..family outing. First time here."

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sat Oct 21, 2023 2:12 pm

Constantine:

I tilt my head at Adrian but do not answer him. It may be more complex then that, but everyone who took part in the Tower scheme wanted a chosen one... well they are going to get what they asked for one way or another.

"Lets go back.."

I open the door and then add in coyly about his 'dragon' experience.

"Next time Emerald grabs you, try tickling under her chin...works every time.."

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sat Oct 21, 2023 2:26 pm

Trojan:

The male calls me out on my question.

I try not to smirk when he breaks from his "charming persona".

It was an honest mistake but I am glad I made it.

The boy mentions the photographed male and his companion being his parents.

I raise my eyebrows surprised.

"Oh really?"

I smile smugly.

"That's kind of cute."

Hmm..

"Is your father good friends with the bar owner then? My apologies I could have sworn I have seen him around."

I continue with my small interrogation.

"I'm Trojan by the way, what is your name?"

I ask trying to instill a sense of trust.

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sat Oct 21, 2023 2:34 pm

Adrian:

"Next time?"

I question Constantine concerned as WE CAME OUT OF THE CLOSET and returned to the bar.

It was a full house and EVERYONE was waiting for a drink.

I go to the bar counter and glance over at the back to see Hope was still gone.

It was bloody depressing to say the least, did anyone even bother to give that girl a funeral?

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sat Oct 21, 2023 2:52 pm

Elsin:

I try to even think WHY Mr. Constantine was at the Flower. He was doing a collaboration with Dad, he wanted to buy slaves and he asked my mother if we had needs to be met.

All seemed very unrelated.

"I believe there was talk of business between them, but I dont really know..details..."

I pause taking in her name, Trojan.

"I'm Elsin." I turn to see the man of the hour. Mr. Constantine himself enter only to be whisked away by the redhaired lady down the side door into the alley in a minute.

"Guess your going to wait a little longer.."

*pats seat because she was still standing*

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sat Oct 21, 2023 3:11 pm

Trojan:

Business?

I really needed to speak to Constantine himself, as my discussions here were only adding to the confusion.

When Constantine does enter our scene he is pulled away almost immediately again.

I tense up at his appearance.

I don't think Klaus is going to like my report..

Elsin offers me a seat and I relent as Adrian makes his rounds to each table providing a complimentary shot to each customer for the wait.

*Stares at bar counter to avoid looking at Elsin and his nipple shirt.*

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sat Oct 21, 2023 6:23 pm

Elsin:

"If you dont want something to drink, want something to eat?" I ask before Adrian passes out samples.

"About time we get something, this place needs a staff I can see why Mr. Constantine wanted to buy some of the Flower Girls."

I snort at Adrian.

"Sucks to be you. We did not have any to give him."

Mum is protective of them and would never sell em, especially to a creepy place like this.

"Wasnt there a girl here, dishwasher?"

Why they wasted a girl in the back is beyond me....

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sat Oct 21, 2023 6:49 pm

Trojan:

"Thank you, but no.."

I respond as Adrian approaches with drinks.

(Adrian) "Probably for the best, my job is already hard enough without worrying about the foot traffic those women would bring."

Constantine was buying prostitutes for his new bar?!

"On second thought, I'll take you up on that drink offer."

I take a shot, now CONVINCED Constantine went full dark side on us Wink

(Adrian) "Yeah, we did.."

Adrian answers Elsin's question about the dishwasher but does not go into detail before leaving us.

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sat Oct 21, 2023 7:13 pm

Elsin:

The stuck up finely lets loose and takes a drink.

"So you DO drink."

I smirk a little and ask for another, putting down a payment and tip.

Adrian's work partner did not seem to be here anymore and he said no more of her.

Yikes...

Personally I just saw her take out the trash once and she ran away right back inside so...

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sat Oct 21, 2023 7:35 pm

Trojan:

"Of course?!"

I am not THAT uptight, I just don't like doing it while I am on the job.

I close my eyes for a moment before turning to face him.

"Do you? Or do you prefer to watch?"

I slide his complementary shot closer to him, curious to see what kind of freak Elsin was now that it was his turn to "let lose".

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sat Oct 21, 2023 8:37 pm

Constantine:

My mothers apprentice, Lady Leafe was next on the visit list, only hours after the last visitor sent by father.

I suppose my going down there gave them the urge to check up on me hourly.....

Leafe however gave me horrid news about one of Uncle's sons, Crow she called him - must be a nickname like 'Echo' ... this man had found her home and drawing attention to her family.

It resulted in both Noomi and Thomas being attacked and possibly taken.

"I'll check the court for any news..I'm sure it will be abuzz with gossip if either of them have been captured."

Saving them is another story...

I thought rather frustrated to have more problems.

(Leafe): "Thank you Constantine...but... your costume is a little much. You stand out more then stay undercover."

"I know.."

I agree with a laugh at myself.

(Leafe): "Please tell your parents about this, Crow is going to be a problem. His father took him away I believe... but I would not recommend they send out anyone from his apprentice group without backup. He has never let go of the past.."

Why was Orion's son an apprentice??

"Do you need a place to hide?"

I ask but really my place was PACKED.

I had a turtle-man ripping up the only bedroom..

Yeah bad idea.

(Leafe): "That's ok. Im going to keep looking in the nature preserves, if you can get the others on camera duty that would be great."

"Right."

I watch her slip away and prepare myself mentaly to go inside but PETRUS.

"Finely you show up. What was Napoleon supposed to tell me?"

(Petrus): "We we're going to stop by your gaudy little Club since you left on such bad terms. Unfornatenly Rowan did not want too, so he ran off and got into trouble again with some 'fans'. That boy."

"Are you calling my place gaudy?"

I smirk watching her eyes very closely for any sign of recollection. She strokes my mask and puts her finger dangerous close to the crack of it. (where some BLOOD was)

I lean into her false touch lost in her eyes till she pulls her hand away causing me to stumble.

(Petrus): "Rowan! You have been replaced by three younger servant boys, I expect you to take full punishment when we get home to earn your place back ..if you can. "

He drops out my window and lands on his turtle feet and seemed excited about that.

Bloody hell..

I walk away even though she tires to get under my skin more with a paternalizing tone.

As I get back inside there are about 7 more people who want to chat it up with the chosen one but I spot Torjan sitting next to the Lovelace son of all people.

(Elsin): "Oh this is like water to me sister.." He takes his shot.

"Trojan?" I ask believing her to have SUNK LOW Wink

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sat Oct 21, 2023 8:59 pm

Trojan:

I relax a bit when Elsin takes his shot.

It would have been real creepy if he didn't.

Constantine returns and finally graces us all with his presence.

I stand up and walk over to him so we are quite close as to blend better with the environment.

((I suppose you know why I am here? If not, I will give you a hint.))

I glance over at Edward Lovelace then back at him again.

Doing a thorough inspection of him will be hard. Especially in such a crowded environment but I owed it to his parents to do my best.

((Lay it on me please and don't hold back.))

Hopefully this shot kicks in soon, for whatever offensive shit he is going to tell me.

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sat Oct 21, 2023 9:15 pm

Constantine:

More check ins. Yay! I think sarcastically and felt another mood swing hit.

Alot of the lords were very antisocial.

I give my best performance though to talk OUTLOUD so we aren't staring at one another quietly in the crowded room.

"I'm surprised you showed up at all. I hope this isn't awkward for you, but you knew the risks involving yourself with the chosen one.."

((Edward had blackmail on Rowan, I asked him to destroy it and the price was to take a photograph of us together. He wanted it shown to our fathers.))

I pause and quote Beolan.

"I'm kinda a big deal.."

((I still can not be touched so my parents do not have to worry about be getting raped, I sucked out his soul incbus style in that simple kiss. He died, his son or someone else revived him I suppose, believe me hours ago he was crispy.))

It was very hard for that lot to stay DEAD.

I look over at him surprised myself then look back at her trying not to appear mind talking.

"I'd really like to kiss you.."

Trojan:

Constantine starts an out loud dialogue.

I was glad he took the reigns on the conversation because frankly, I was too fired up to get this over with to consider the finite details.

"I know, I just had to see you."

((What the hell kind of request is that--- urgh, so does this mean Rowan is returning?))

Constantine says that he is kind of a big deal.

"Is that why you are wearing those clothes?"

((Constantine this place has ways of doing the unthinkable. Please don't get too cocky about your shield.))

I caution him but was glad Edward was punished for his actions.

"Please stop, I can't handle you teasing me like this anymore."

((Elsin told me that you tried to buy Flower girls from them. Though your intentions are good I am sure, be careful the type of company you keep.))

I caution before walking away from him.

Constantine:

This was hard, I had a conversation to manage, voices in my head effecting my actions , her talking to me. ALL these people around me.

Trojan gives me good advice and I try to take it to heart under all the distractions and layers.

I stop myself from telling her I want to go home and just think it to myself.

*looks at her very intensely then stops*

((I don't know about Rowan, I tried.... he is really entangled by the Judge..I'd probably have to smuggle him out myself, he cant do it.. might be a spell or something. ))

She walks away from me after warning me to be carful of the company I keep.

Oi imagine if she saw Raluca...

ahh I almost forgot!

((Tell my parents Leafe showed up today, her homebase has been compromised. Someone named 'Crow' is after all the apprentices of his age, She did not know if Noomi and Thomas were captured but they were attacked. Cameras feeds may answer more... she and her family may have to be evacuated to the tunnels if their covers are blown.))

I add in quickly...just as Napoleon in a towel nearly knocks into me to reach his mother and her maids coming into the door.

(Napoleon): "Thanks for the night in the bathtub Mr. Constantine.."

...that sounded.. bad.

".. one day it wont be like this... one day we'll be together! Its not forever!" I call back to her with DUEL meaning and not just the act.

I spoke from the heart with the big picture in mind. Then try to make it more romantic sounding to the drunks.

"I'll touch you, your soul, and you will understand everything without pain, it will be more then I can ever say deeper then carnal lusts, you'll know me all of me then and all of the sacrifices wont be in vain."

Elsin:

I watch big eyed the chosen one and new girl.

I wish I had some chips or something...

*claps a little finishing my next shot*

Yeah I'd join that guy's cult... hes smooth...

Trojan:

Constantine fills me in on Rowan and Leafe.

It wasn't the best news for either of them but at least he was ok.

A boy rushes passed in only a towel and thanks Constantine for the bath time.

I choose to ignore him like I choose to ignore a lot of other things that I heard and saw in this place.

As I walk away Constantine's farewell felt like it had duel meaning. I really hoped it did as I truly believed his parents were quite heartbroken with him being out here while the wrest of us were still underground.

His dialogue gets a bit much at the end there and I try not to cringe on my way out as I fake tears and run out of the bar dramatically.

Jupiter: (in Drag)

I made a pit stop to set a fire at the Purple Flower.

One of the older whores who used to be a mere makeup girl for me back in the day had a thing with cigars, some old earl got her hooked.

"Hello!" I wave to her while walking passed

She was lazing around on the vailed porch smoking. She glared at me for daring to talk to her and put out her butt before getting up to join another women.

I set the whole ashtray ablaze so it looks like started from there.

All the polyester flowers quickly light up.

I finely reach the Golden Antler Club, I dont transport because the energy will be felt by Edward and I want it to be a surprise.

(Drunk 1): "You talk sweet but how about showing us a miracle??"

(Drunk 2): "Can you stop the hags this Halloween!?" Another man crowds around Constantine, who looked..already in costume. Cant blame him for darkening the hair though...

(Constantine): "I am not here to do simple tricks for you, wait and see...as for the hags perhaps if we redirect them do-"

It sounded like he was going to redirect them DOWN to the tunnels but he stops himself.

(Constantine): "..with mirrors.. a big mirror. above us.. maybe make the skyline a mirror. These are all considerations that can be brought before the Governor. ."

More complaints come his way about mirrors bringing about demonic doorways and what was worse between that and hags inflicting the town. What WASNT inflicting the town.

I was done listening and did what I came to do.

"Edward...may I have a moment honey??" *deep smoker voice*

(Edward): *pretending he doesn't recognize Jupiter* "Huh is this a new girl Lydia?'

(Elsin): "With a voice like that shes not going to be a big hitter.."

He laughed looking like he had enough to drink and almost fell over.

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sun Oct 22, 2023 1:38 pm

Lydia:

"I don't believe so?"

I turn to look at the pretty male dressed in drag.

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sun Oct 22, 2023 3:14 pm

Edward:

Lydia says its not one of her new recruits and Elsin had some negativity to shine down on us as pre usual.

"Why son... everything and anything is fuckable you just need to find the right person interested in that sort of thing. Shush."

I get up and set my glass down on the golden table.

"I best see what this gal wants then, a moment please."

I walk over to the main bar with Jupiter and gesture a finger to the slob at the counter for a drink.

((So they did not read you the book of Dane to death?, how surprising...is this about the photo??))

I mock wishing I got to see my father and Klaus's face for myself. Just knowing they got it was enough.

(Jupiter): ((Stay away from Constantine..)) He punches me in the face with a fist of blue fire.

I grab him and slide him down and over the bar counter - at Adrian with force, shattering a few glasses.

((Tell Klaus hes a defanged leach for not coming himself to tell me that))

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sun Oct 22, 2023 3:40 pm

Lydia:

I watch Edward leave and observe his conversation from our table.

Things escalate into a bar fight rather quickly.

Oh Edward, who did you piss off now?

I stand up and carefully wander the perimeter of the bar table.

(Adrian) "Bloody hell! Take it outside you two!"

The young man snaps with authority.

"Come now darling, must we make a scene?"

I pout and lean against a table full of impressionable young men who were checking out my "dress".

I smile "shyly" at them.

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sun Oct 22, 2023 9:03 pm

Elsin:

My eyes go wide and I wake up a little from my drunkenness when Dad gets punched by the deep voiced lady. He tosses her over the counter and the Adrian gets pissed.

(Edward): "I'm just defending myself?" He replied innocently and I see Mom trying to be shy to the table next to us.

No one believes them..

I pout.

(Constantine): "Boys dont fight over me.." He laughs nervously and pulls the one who punched Dad off to the side to talk.

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sun Oct 22, 2023 9:20 pm

Lydia:

I walk over to Edward when Mr. Constantine distracts the other.

"What's going on?"

I ask.

Subject: Re: Kiss and Tell Sun Oct 22, 2023 9:27 pm

Edward:

I take a towel off the table (covered in eyeball patterns) and hold my bleeding face as it healed.

((That's Jupiter..he's come out of the sewers to start shit.))

I tell Lydia of my brother's return from the underground.

No one was more depraved but maybe a Brewcaslte, I guess they brainwashed him to act like that.

How disturbing..
