Sure, he was correct in the last part, a change to unwind. In the case of Az, it was more of unwinding and realigning. With everything that has been happening lately, it's no wonder Az so readily agreed to come along with her friend, who by now was clearly enjoying the attention from some girls by himself. She was not gonna let him get away so easily, however, and she would pester him for a favor in return. A small smile crossed Az's face. "Hope..." she said quietly, but still loud enough for Rey to hear. There was a second of Az taking a deep breath before releasing it. "The funny thing

"Don't need to know you," Warren chimed in. "You're here." And she was. Here. Alive. Warren didn't always like what Oscar did. He would always share his opinion there. But he did resonate with the man one one simple thing. If he was present and he saw someone needed help, he would stick his neck out for them every single time. But inviting them back to his home? That was something different. So if Mari was the type of person Oscar felt comfortable bringing back to his home, Warren had no questions. "Stop being so weird about it," Lysette said, resting her chin on the edge of the tabl

Mari fiddled with her empty glass, listening to Warrens words. He was...glad? "But you don't really know me I -" She paused reaching for her drink but Sin intercepted. Mari simply turned to stare at the woman in shock, then a second after it wore off Mari reached for the glass, leaning over the other woman, one hand on Sins thigh, the other reaching for the drink. "C'mon - I kinda need that right now." Then, in one quick motion the other woman downed the contents of the glass and replaced it with water, setting it on the table with a small smirk. Mari muttered some incoherent words as sh

"Redemption?" Warren cocked an eyebrow. "That's a hell of a boss. Glad you made it out okay." By which Warren meant to say that he was surprised that she was here, playing cards, and not a name on the Monument. He took a sip of his drink, sliding another one over to Mari. Sin intercepted it. She'd yet to have the previous drinks really hit her. They'd need to wait and see how that hit her before she was gonna let Mari take another drink. She quickly downed the contents of Mari's glass, placing it down hard on the countertop. Without saying a word, she opened her inventory and filled the g

Sin laughed beside Mari, a soft tinkling laugh that had devious undertones as she leaned over her. Pressing her skin firm against Mari. "U-Uhm..." Mari wasn't sure how to react, she was already a little flustered at absolutely everything going on - the sudden influx of people, not sleeping properly for the week leading up to Redemption; her subsequent failure....the sheer amount of alcohol. Mari wasn't entirely sure what Sin meant by saying put it all on the table. So Mari placed her cards face down on the table. She continued to tease Mari, her eyes followed the curvature of Mari's body, how

Sin giggled at Mari's exclamation. "Well go on then," she crooned. "Put it all on the table." Her eyes raked up and down Mari's body, a light smirk playing at her lips. "It's not fair that Oscar's the only one that's seen you... Well. You know." After a moment, Sin's smirk morphed into a smile, then a pout. "Don't tell me you've got cold feet? Or do you not know what all in means?" She leaned over, folding her hands on Mari's shoulder as her lips hovered just inches from her ear. "You gotta take it all off and throw it on the table, babe." She leaned back, admiring Mari's frame.

Mari flinched slightly as she felt the warm breath from Lysettes whisper, then relaxed. She had to remind herself she was safe here. It was difficult to just switch off, especially with so many people around her. Mari flashed a small glance to Oscar. He didn't seem phased, going as far as to give her a languid smile. Mari shifted her eyes back to Lysette and gave her a small nod. Truth be told, Mari didn't really know how to play too well. But Lysette wanted her to play through. Mari trusted the woman. "I'll stay." Mari said. Watching as the others took cards, was she supposed to do that? No,

Lysette's eyes lit up as Mari put her cards on display. In her mind, why would they need to waste an opportunity like that? She leaned over, whispering in Mari's ear: "I think you should play through. You can tell me to take my top off. I really think that would get my man hot under the collar." Sin smirked. She didn't really need to hear Lysette's suggestion in order to piece it together. Oscar, too. Though it was more because he could read her lips thanks to his <<Searching>> skill. Abellio showed Oscar his hand. Four of a kind. A damn strong hand. He shot Mari a look,

After a while of searching, he finally spotted his white haired goddess. She was placed perfectly on the lap of a beautiful black haired woman. He could feel her uncertainty from here, having not even approached yet. He began thinking of a way to tactfully remove Cascade from her situation without making a scene. He straightened his jacket and began approaching. "Good evening ladies." Ascension bowed at the two, interrupting the moment that was happening between them. "Cascade my love, please forgive me for being late." He stood up straight, offering a hand out to Cascade. "If you don't mind m

Drifting from one place to another, that little green marker of hers sat squarely above her white haired head. A stark attire of red on her back and from just a cursory whisper a voice catches her ear. From such a simple phrase the woman wearing the appearance of something much younger would round the corner. A simple point of being at the right place at the right time it would appear. "Is a peculiar place to start declaring your love for your mother don't you think?" Nisa dropped simply breaking the newly formed silence, with a slight twist of nonchalant excitement. A tilt of her head allows

Wondering aimlessly trying to find the mysterious person that she had no name to. This was the 22nd floor that she had been on, every other floor never felt right. This one felt different, it was like when she was following that music the other day. Everything about that day was stuck in her head and questions were constantly coming. "I know our time together might be shorter then we hoped." "I know our time together might be shorter then we hoped." "But I want you to keep hope, stay happy Miki. Don't give up your dreams, and know that no matter what..." "But I want you t

Hearing Jom address Riker, Lessa rolled her eyes with such force it was a blessing they didn't pop from her skull. "Lazy, old, grumpy-" she muttered, but when he lifted his head to stare at her expectantly, her tune changed, "-good boy. You're a good boy." To confirm, she nodded, then told Jomei, "He's a good boy. It's a love hate relationship. I love him, he hates me." His snort of acknowledgement coaxed a laugh out of her, and Lessa left the flowers to move up alongside her boyfriend. Staring down at her familiar, the woman's expression softened slightly. "He's mad because I told him I'm not

"Norio, listen to me. I know about you and Aisha. I think you'll agree with me that we have our differences and that's not going to change. What can change, is that we can and will set them aside. If not for the mission, for her. You see, I know you feel strongly about her, we both do. From the sound of it, the two of you are at odds right now. If you want to do right by her, start right now. Get out of your own way. " Luke tried to be the bigger man here. He continued, "I know this fight wasn't for fun, it was because you were angry. Not just with me, either. I can sense that.” Nori

@Morningstar Half hour at the bar, sipping wine she couldn't feel, delicately avoiding every masked face and voice she thought she could recognize. Yue Hua's anxiety gradually mellowed as she settled back into the face she had worn for most of her life. By no means was she a pretender. She was a drifter who had, by accident, found a place to roost for just a little while. That didn't complain as she silently overstayed her welcome. And in trying to tap back into her usual habits, Yue Hua was stunned to realize that she had begun to carve out a difference in the first place. When did

Bright lights with a side of passion / The first verse left his lips, smooth as silk. He felt the crowd turn, silent acknowledgement from lovers and shadowed denizens. An ocean of crimson starlight, the deep red glinting as heads swiveled towards him. It shouldn’t have, but it took Warren by surprise. The trap laid snapped closed. One shouldn’t be surprised that they enraptured the crowd when they set out to do just that. But he was unaccustomed to all the eyes upon him. It was almost enough to make him falter. The guitar in his hands suddenly felt so impossibly heavy. Night life, w

Soon to be late husband... The words hung heavy in the air. A tension. Not between the two lovers, but of the reality that came with them. "If we get out of here...." Mari said quietly, a hand on Lancasters chest. "Lets do just that, make the man's life a living hell. Lets take all that he has, all I ask is I be there when he closes his eyes the final time. I want him to know I was there to watch him breathe his last breath." Mari knew the weight of her words, of his. A death outside Aincrad was far more different than within the confines of the game. So much unknown, unspoken for. T

Scanning the features of her face as feverishly as a college student to a textbook, he'd walk tough calloused fingers across her soft skin. Enjoying the sensation of the goosebumps, and the small shutters that jumped across her body when touched just right. His jacket off and he'd more then been released, allowed to breath and relax in a way that he did not usually. Something that Mari alone could really provide, a prize more valuable then any amount of wealth. Comfort. "Is appreciated, helps calm the nerves. But possible for me to... taper back, might need another form of stress relief though
