Bio

Well now that I got the customary "post once" requirement out of the way....

HELLO

Welcome to my safe space. Well, about as safe as one space can be, I guess. If you are here looking for something, I am very sorry to disappoint you, but I made fresh cookies! Come sit a spell.

I guess I'll do some more in-depth stuff about myself. My name is Nick and I am 33 years old living in Illinois. I am a therapist and clinical responder (which is a fancy way of saying I go out on police calls to provide mental health assistance). Been doing therapy for a few years now and I absolutely love it!

I am a gay, cisgender man. I came out last year in January (smack dab in the middle of a pandemic. Timing was always my downfall). There is still much I am learning, but I am proud and happy to be who I really am and not have to hide it anymore!

I am an avid gamer, especially roleplaying games (cue surprised and shock noises). I also enjoy writing and reading, especially mysteries. I am not new to roleplay, I promise. I have been doing it for years now in different formats. I am experienced, even if it doesn't seem like it.

I use humor as a coping mechanism for sure, but I also like laughing and enjoying myself. Life can be pretty sad and upsetting for the most part and I don't want to add to it.

Whew! That got deep!

I will be poking my nose around in spaces and hoping to jump headfirst into this. Some interests I have in terms of roleplay settings include superheroes, DnD, science fiction/fantasy, mysteries, thrillers, horror stuffs, apocolypse, and espionage. And I am a fan of most things pop culture. If you have any suggestions or possible roleplays you think I would love, please let me know.

Otherwise, stick around! This is gonna get wild!

Peregrine Mayfield




Location: The Mall
Skills: N/A
Fit Of The Day



"So this is a mall?"

Detective Edward White had never stepped foot in a mall before today. This was for two reasons. One: He hated shopping with a passion. Unless it was for necessities, he would rather go to the dentist for dental surgery. And two: He was dead. Well, dead was subjective. Like, physically, yes, Detective Ed was done-zo. Killed way back when before the internet and cell phones were a thing.

This was where Peregrine stepped in.

"Yep! Basically, a whole bunch of different stores and restaurants are put into one giant building so people can come and get everything they need in one fell swoop!" Peregrine was walking along the pathways having come with some of the others from the mansion. Peregrine shivered a bit, recalling meeting everyone there. There was a tenseness she could sense, even without her acute empathic abilities. Whatever it was, she decided against bugging people about it until they were ready.

But she hoped this trip to the nearby mall would serve as a way of popping some of those social bubbles! The sheer amount of people who were shy and withdrawn at that mansion, you would think it was a mental hospital for the socially anxious! Granted, she was one to talk. Looking at her now, with her colorful outfit and silver hair, one would never have thought that there was a period in her life when she was the quiet one. She served to never fall back into that again.

Which was why she was at the mall. Speaking to a dead guy. In clear view of others. Awkward.

"Not your scene, I know, but I remember you asking to learn more about the modern world whenever possible. There serves no better tutorial than the mall. It is a meeting place for people of all ages. You got the teens skipping school, the moms with too much money, the stoners, and the criminals. Each working together in this little microcosm."

She could sense that Detective Ed was not too thrilled. "And you like this?" Peregrine shrugged. "Like is a strong word. I enjoy it when I go shopping, but the mall can feel too crowded. Plus, even you would be surprised at the number of spirits and ghosts that walk along the mall too." Peregrine surmised that part of it was for innocent reasons, but she also was aware that the mall was a prime location for active shooters. And she wouldn't be surprised if the mall was built on top of graves.

Peregrine kept her eye out for any of the others that came with her. She hoped to get to know them all but recognized it would take time. She was the new girl, after all. "Well, while we walk and see about getting to know the other peeps from the mansion, let me introduce you to one of the mall's prime delicacies: corn dogs."

"What is a corn dog?" Detective Ed asked, with a visible worried look.

First Day Fit





Sabine looked over at April as the girl practically fell over on herself at Sabine's words. Weirdo. But a cute weirdo nonetheless. But the time for that was passed. Danny was her sole focus. Even with Mai there in her adorable get-up. And she was right. They were all hot. Must be something in the water.

Danny's suggestion of the dunk tank was not without merit. Dunking the teachers and staff would be a surefire way to lift up Danny's spirits. Especially Coulson. The man could serve to be dunked on, though she imagined it was not the first time he was. "The Dunk Tank it is. Can't want to see the look on Coulson's face." At that mental image, Sabine smiled gracefully. April returned with food and Sabine had to fight off a gut reaction. Visceral in nature. Her relationship with food was better. Not great, but better. Danny was the only one who knew of it. She wondered if he was aware of her thoughts. Sabine decided to ignore the food for now. Perhaps she will grab some popcorn or something light later. "Danny, you can't just ask to ride someone. What will people think?" Sabine added with a wink.

Some little freshman twerp decided to open their mouth in her presence and, by the grace of goddess, Sabine decided to just ignore them. "Ignore them. The school will chew them up and spit them out if they enter with that amount of attitude. Shall we?" Sabine linked arms with Danny as she propelled forward toward the dunk tanks.

"We are at this school for a reason. If they didn't want us using our powers, then we would be at some other school for normies. Can you imagine? If all else fails, I'll make them forget what they saw. Maybe even throw in a memory of them wetting themselves for good measure. Nothing brings a person down like public embarrassment. Sabine checked back to see if either the big bear or the almost-going-to-be-toasted-if-she-continues-to-run-her-mouth freshie followed them. If they knew better, they would go about their day.
Hi all,

Try as I might I just don't have the inspiration to post in this so I will be dropping out. Thank you for the opportunity though and I wish you all the best.



Quill Saves The Day Pt. 2






Moises came to later, though he was unsure how much time had passed. The last thing he remembered was the attractive woman in the elevator and nearly getting to his place before everything went dark. He tried to recollect. Did something happen? Were they attacked? NO, he remembered. He remembered the volts that were sent through his body.

The bitch did this.

He tried to move his arm and found he couldn't. Blinking a few times to clear his vision, he checked himself out and saw that he was strung up, chained to the ceiling. He couldn't move from this spot. He attempted to rip the chains off in a vain attempt to get free.

"I wouldn't tire yourself out so quickly. We are only getting started."

Quill came out of the darkness now. She took graceful steps forward, the heels of her shoes clicking on the tiled floor beneath them. She sat down on the chair that Moises hadn't noticed before. Quill glanced up and caught his eye, giving him a smile.

"What the hell did you do to me?"

"I sent a message. See Moises, I know all about you. I know exactly who you are. That playboy on the cover of magazines and billboards and ads. That's not who you are, is it?"

Moises felt tense. Who the hell was this woman?

"No, Moises. I know what you do behind locked doors. I know about all of the women who you take home and are never seen again. I know how much is sent to news outlets to keep it all quiet. I know about paying to ensure the families are silent or disposed of. I know everything. Granted, a lot of it was kept under lock and key. To your credit, it took some effort. But you have quite the log. I'd call it genius keeping tabs on all of your dirty work if it wasn't so fucking stupid."

Moises lashed out, reaching for Quill's throat. The gorram bitch! How dare she think she had something over him. Women needed to learn their place.

"I imagine you are thinking that I am just some woman who needs to be put in her place. What you don't seem to get, Moises is that I am not here on my own. Granted, it was a pleasure to take you down a peg. No, I am here purely on business. It seems you ruffled some feathers and needed to be....taken care of."

Moises felt the sweat pool on the back of his neck. He needed to get out of this somehow. Get her to unlock him so he could take her out and move on from this nightmare. "What do you want? Money? I have money! Name a figure and it's yours."

Quill chuckled. "Oh sweetie. I am not doing this for money. And nothing you have will satisfy me, though I bet that's not the first time you heard that from a woman."

Moises, again, lunged at her. "I would keep that anger in check. You see, Moises. I needed something and to get that something I had to do this. I was tasked with killing you." Quill could see Moises' eyes widen, though he did his best to hide it. "Oh don't get it wrong, I have no intention of ending your life physically. That would be the easy way out. A bullet through the temple and that's it. You go to wherever dirtbags like you go. I don't believe in heaven or hell so." She shrugged.

"Then what are you going to do?" Moises uttered.

"Good question. I still intend to kill you, of course. But not so much your physical existence. Instead, I want the accumulation of all of the women you killed to be weighed down on you. I want people to look at you like the trash you are. Every time your name is brought up I want people to vomit due to how disgusting you are. I want your name synonymous with filth."

Moises started laughing now. "I am invincible bitch! There is no system out there that will listen. I pay them off well."

Quill nodded. "Oh, I know. And I looked. You covered your tracks well. However, what you did not account for was those that deal with...let's say 'underhanded methods'. Those that can't be so easily bought. It pays to have friends in low places. In fact, I would say right now all of the information in your little black book is being leaked far and wide." Sure enough, Quill heard a ring and looked at her communicator. "Ah yes, the deed is done. Soon word of your little hobby here will get out. And while law enforcement might be slow to respond, I guarantee there is an army of women from all walks of life who will not sit idly by knowing you like to target them. Then the authorities will have to respond. And don't get it twisted, thinking a high-price lawyer will get you out of it or the judge will toss the case. I made sure that they all knew that their families and friends were targets. How else would they listen to you? Blackmail can be real dirty."

Quill stood up. "I'll call to have someone let you go. Maybe they'll give you a head start. I would take this opportunity to pray to whatever god you believe in, because where you are going, you are going to need a miracle to survive."

WIth that, she turned to leave, hearing the cries and curses of Moises as he ultimately came to his fate.




“Yuri Antonov,” Hekubah proclaimed, “you and your entire crew are bound by law for illegal human trafficking and unpermitted slave acquisition. You,” he couldn’t help grinning as the cuffs bit again into the first mate’s wrists, “are going away for a long, long time.”

Before the good detective could make good on his word, one of his subordinates could be heard. "Miss, you can't go through here. It is a crime scene! Miss! MISS!"

Kehubah turned to see an attractive blonde woman stride forward. "Who are you? How'd you get in here?"

Quill cast an eye on Yuri and the others, seeing them worse for wear. She clenched her fist before she unclenched and brought her syrupy smile. "Quill Cassidy. The pleasure is yours. I am here to see that my friends here are released and not bothered."

Hekubah started laughing. "And what makes you think I will do such a thing."

"Well detective, I imagine you like following the letter of the law. So here." Quill handed the man a lengthy file. Hekubah took it and opened it, glancing over the papers. Once his eyes fell to the wording, he appeared surprised. "I'll sum it up for you. We have a license signed by Veronica St. Bartholemew herself allowing the transportation of the anabaptists on this Firefly vessel. We also have legal documentation to traverse through your jurisdiction without harm. And, if my eyes don't deceive me, I believe my friends here have come to some harm. Do I need to inspect the anabaptists for injuries too?"

Before the good detective could muster anything else, Quill continued. "Here's what I suggest happens next. I suggest you let my friends go with sincere apologies for how you treated them. I then suggest you go to the anabaptists and apologize for their treatment and see about getting them some resources for their trouble. Then, I would take your badge and kiss it goodbye because, when I am done with you, you will be lucky if you get to clean the toilets of your law enforcement agency, much less work the streets again. Are we clear?"

First Day Fit





Sabine was not high enough for this. If she had known she would be engulfed in this absolute clusterfuck of human interaction, she would have made her way to the carnival proper and ignored it all. But she wouldn't leave Danny behind, the lucky bastard. First things first, addressing the elephant in the room. Leah. She hadn't intended to interact with the girl, in fact, she hoped that Leah would just fuck off and kick rocks (ha!) but she had to make a comment. "The fiery depths of hell, of course. The same hole your future is in. And your fashion sense. Did you get in a fight with a thrift shop and lose?" With that swiftly said, and Leah finally fucking off, Sabine tended to the other matters.

For a split second, the flame-grilled freshie popped out of existence and then swiftly came back. Impressive, perhaps, but the little twerp was acting like all of this was intentional. And, apparently, Danny has possessed him? Things were getting more and more tragic. Soon, Casper the Bitch Ghost started wailing about his birthday being ruined before poofing off, leaving a trail of snacks behind. "Did he just shit treats as he left?" With wonder in her eyes, Danny immediately clung to her, asking her to fix it or what to do. Diana, another person she tolerated, offered no help. "First, if I altered his memory there would be nothing to forgive so that point is moot. Second, Danny, why do you care if some dumb freshman doesn't like you? Regardless of what happened, they aren't worth the dirt we are currently standing on. And third, that was a badass fire trick, but maybe hold off on the fireworks until later or at least until we can crowd a group of the fresh meat freshman."

Before she could continue, in swooped a giant of a man along with an attachment of sorts, which turned out to be Mai. The last of the people she gave any semblance of a fuck about. "Mai, perfect timing. I believe Danny is fine. physically at least. I was about to suggest we go into this carnival they got and see if we can forget about the whole thing. Anything you want to do Danny. Within reason, of course. I am not getting this ensemble dirty, even for you." Sabine glanced over at the dude Mai rode in on. He looked familiar, she was sure she saw him around (I mean, it was kind of hard to miss him), but that didn't matter.

Then her eyes fell on April, who seemed embarrassed by the whole situation. "Same goes for you too, gorgeous. Don't let the whims of those beneath you get to you. Everyone comes after those at the top. It is only natural." With that said, Sabine turned back to Danny and Mai. "So, shall we go see what all the fuss is about?"









Quill Saves The Day Pt. 1






"You want a what?"

Veronica St. Bartholemew sat across from Quill. Every inch of her was tailored for a specific purpose. How else does one become a big shot on Osiris without looking the part. Veronica was a contact from back before Quill became a Companion. Their families often dealt with each other, leaving the girls to their devices. Veronica was always the one that got them in the most trouble. Now she sat there in a business suit, glasses perched on the tip of her nose, as Quill asked for a favor.

"I need a legal document detailing how the ship I am on is legally obligated and well within its rights to transport a bunch of refugees to safety."

Verona blinked. And then blinked again. "Quill, did you hit your head on the way over here? Do I need to contact medical?"

Quill could understand the hesitancy, but time was a factor. "I have never been more serious. There's a slew of men, women, and children on that vessel and if we have no paperwork to show them, they are going to be taken back."

"Quill, I am not without sympathy, but rules are rules. What did you say these people were?"

"Anabaptists."

"That's a sticky subject on an average day Quill. You want me to stick my neck out to pull roughly 10 favors I have to get you some documentation for a bunch of Anabaptists? You realize if this gets back to me my head will roll. Literally. I've fended off three assassination attempts this month alone."

"I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important. Not only that, but the crew on the ship will be in danger. And they are good people."

"This is a Firefly vessel, right?"

"I know what it sounds like, but I've seen them work. They look out for each other and, as you can see, other people as well. Especially those who need it."

Verona clicked her long fingernails on the table. "A favor like this requires a substantial one in return. A job. Get it done and I will do as you ask."

"What's the job?"

Veronica laced her fingers together. "I want you to kill a man."




Moises Arryan sat back on the couch as the club's lights pulsed and thrashed to the music. Every so often the colors would highlight the woman dancing in front of him, but he was paying her little mind. This was for show, as it always has been. The media outlets thrived on stories of him out and about, getting into light mischief, drinking and partying. That was the surface image he gave off. One that was curated by a team he paid top money for. Can't have the hounds sniffing out what he got to behind closed doors.

He stood up and finished off the glass of some top-shelf alcohol he forgot the name of as he patted the woman's hip as a signal for her to move on. He walked forward, shimmying his hips to the beat, in search of the next opportunity. As his eyes traversed the club, they landed on a figure dancing on a table. Her hair was stylishly done to accentuate her face and her dress left very little to the imagination. She moved around like she had one too many drinks and would not remember where she was when she woke up.

She was perfect.

He sidled over to her. She caught his eye and gave a drunken smile. "Hey, handsome. Like my dance moves?"

Truth be told, it made him sick thinking of being intimate with her, but he gave her his killer smile, "You bet. What's your name gorgeous?"

"Chastity!"

Ironic.

"A pretty name for a pretty woman," he said as he helped her off the table. "Do you come here often? I don't think I've seen you before."

"First time here! I came with some girlfriends on an extended trip during our break from school. Seems they ditched me to go back to the hotel. What losers! I don't want to stop dancing!" She accentuated this point by moving around him, letting her hands travel across his chest. He pushed back a shudder. "Their loss is my gain."

The woman gave a bubbly laugh, "So who are you?"

"Name's Moises. I own this club."

"Oh my god! No way! You must be like, a bajillionaire!"

"Not quite that, but I do well enough."

He noted her eyes grew more interested. Typical. That's all women like her cared about. A big bank account or a big.....well either way, he knew what he had to do.

"Listen, I know a place we can get to for a private after-party. You can keep dancing all night."

She nodded enthusiastically as he grabbed her hand to lead her to his car. Along the way he plotted what he would do.




They had pulled up to a building that, from the outside, looked like your typical housing unit. The girl would be none the wiser as to what was done inside. He led her up some steps, noting she was swaying. "Are we there yet?"

"Almost."

He unlocked the door and pushed the button to call the lift. She was fumbling around in her purse. He figured for some lip gloss or a condom. Both of which would serve her very little. The lift pulled up and he maneuvered her inside. He reached into his pocket, fingers grasping the injection he had stashed away. "Oh poop, you know what I forgot?" the girl said. He fought off an eye roll. "What's that sweethea-" he began to say before 50,000 volts entered his body as he slumped to the ground. "Never mind. Found it!" Quill said, as Moises' vision faded.
