HanomaiI'm done with your false promises.
You have until I post to get a post up. If you don't you're out of the RP cause you're making us wait until we're out of patience and I'm out of Patience.
In my post, which I'll get up tonight or tomorrow, will end the battle and get us out while doing what I can to summarize shit.
If I don't get a post up at all, don't expect one because it'll mean that I lost all care and inspiration for the post.

Those that have RP'd with me lately, please take a gaze at my Bio. I finally got around to updating it.
Bio
"I burn endlessly, an intextinguishable inferno within the depths of a storm of passion and grace." Septimus Aureous, Captain of the Turian Frigate: Elysium
I've been roleplaying and writing for a little over half my life, and I'm 22. If I come across as cynical, picky, overly willing to write a huge CS, very inquisitive, and even ready to drop an RP out of nowhere, I apologize. I've seen way too many RPs look good only to end up smashing face first into the dirt with almost no explanation to it. I tend to see an impending crash coming from a mile away and will jump ship long before the water reaches my feet.
I enjoy most genres, including Sci-fi, Fantasy, Magic-fantasy, fandom-reworks, modern, sci-fantasy, and most things under the sun. No. I'm not going to partake in highschool or pony or anime roleplays. Outside of those, I tend to take a part in most of what peaks my interest or curiosity.
I am currently involved in an RP surrounding the exploits of the Crimson Dusicyon and her pirate crew.
As well as continuing the adventures of the manic crew of the harpoon in an infinite quest for dat poon tang.
I am currently working on several short stories that I tend to flip back and forth on depending on where I'm leaning.
I'm working on a story involving an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper trapped beneath a hundred kilos of rubble and, with her life mere hours away from being extinguished, she lets her mind wander to her past and her experiences with the dangerous anti-UNSC terrorists. I've taken to call this: Halo ODST: Rebellion.
I am also working on my most deeply thought out world and story: Sonnet of a Damned Cowboy. A story taking place hundreds of years in the future, where the earth is a barren desert due to the earth being cooked alive. The survivors make their own stories as they drive huge caravans of huge mechs called Lancers and deliver supplies from one town to another.
Finally, I am working on a Fallout based story taking place in the frozen north of Canada, old survivors of the Enclave's oppression struggle to survive in the relentless cold. Battle hardened, tired, and cold. They all know that the smallest of mistakes in the frozen wastes will be almost certain death.
Enjoy your day!

Coming out of the forest, Sebastian dropped a good amount of wood a fair ways from the fire so that it could stay up all night. He looked around the camp and saw Brooklyn sitting alone at the fire. He knew he probably shouldn't as she was no doubt sore from earlier, but fuck it. He grabbed a couple of the remaining few colas and strolled over to the fire and sat down next to her. "Hey. How's the forehead?" She pulled her knees to her chest and crossed her arms over them, only affording him a cursory glance, "It's fine." "I apologize for shooting you. I admit I went too far...to be honest they were supposed to be blanks." He offered the cola and smiled, though he suspected that she wouldn't take it. "... Thanks," she took the bottle gently and set it down on the ground between her feet for now. "It's..." Okay? No, it really wasn't. "It's been done," she shrugged. "Not expecting you to shove your tongue down my throat again. Just hoping to end on somewhat decent terms...you seem like something else is bothering you. What's up?" He took a sip of his cola and got a little more comfortable, stretching out his legs and sighing. Brooklyn growled in her throat at the mention of what she did back at the pub. In hindsight... it didn't matter. She didn't really have much energy left to care about things like that. Her mind was a swirling mess of thoughts and even if she wanted to talk about them, and she wasn't even sure if she wanted to do that in the first place, she wouldn't have known where to start.
"I've been once or twice for work. Never saw much of the city." "You've been missing out, Brooklyn. Made up of three levels, the upper city where the citizens stay, the industrial zone where we'll be doing some business, and the undercity where I'm just assuming that this stone-majiger is. Only other place I can compare the sunets to would be Centari Station..." He grew quiet for a few moments before speaking, a smile on his face. "Tell ya what. To apologize, let me get you one of these while we're in Aurora." He held up his hand and gestured towards his wristband. "Digi-vault access. It's normally only given to commanders in the military and those whom are very well off...but I have my connections."
Once barely focused on what Sebastian was saying she sat bolt upright at the mention of the digi-net. She stared at him with a slack jaw but fearsome expression, "Are you serious?" The idea of the things she could get her hands on! With access to something like that so many of her problems would vanish, or so she thought. "You had better not be jerking me around." "Well, as long as you're okay with getting your left or right arm cut off with a hack saw." He smirked and took another drink, hoping to freak her out a bit. "I..." her eyebrows knitted together and she looked at the ground. Never had she heard of that being a requirement. She thought one only needed that device Sebastian had around his wrist or something similar. It made no sense. Brooklyn frowned deeply. "Why?" "Well, you see, we have to connect with the bones so your body doesn't overload and blah blah blah, might have to take out your brain..." He paused for a couple moments as the chuckle that was in his thought started to overcome him and he burst out laughing. "hahh, Just yanking your leg. It's just getting you a wristband and syncing it to your DNA then me spending three hours encoding the connection so nobody can hack in and place pornography in there as a joke or kill you."
"Fine," she started before he burst out laughing...Though she was relieved to hear that she wouldn't have to sacrifice her brain. That was pushing it. Now she was just growing insatiably excited. Even the mention of somebody using the technology to kill her didn't faze the girl.
"That's," she grinned as chills ran down her spine, "the best thing I've heard in days. How soon until we get to Aurora?" "Should be there late tomorrow evening. That excited huh?" He smiled and leaned back until he lay on the ground. He placed his hands behind his head and sighed. "Don't be telling the others and telling all your friends. You can get them in a lot of trouble." "I won't tell anyone," she smirked, "And thanks in advance. You don't have to be helping me, but I appreciate it." She opened the cola and leaned back on one hand. "Hey, have to make it up for shooting you in the face and telling you that you aren't needed. Really shouldn't have said you weren't needed. Next time though I won't bribe you with high technology though." "Well... It's... I mean you guys really don't need me. I'm no soldier. I guess I'm just trying to..." she sighed, "I don't know what I'm doing." "No, but that's what I'm for, to slap you around, insult you, and show you that you're just learning and discontinuing your time as a little girl." She looked back and gave him a dirty look, "I'm all for learning, but lets do it without the slapping around or insulting. If you can handle that." "Aww, but that's the fun part. Without that it's mildly informative." "Yeah. 'Fun.' Whatever, " she looked away again. "Oh stop being a fuddy duddy and look at the bright side. It's better than not being shown the world at all or being thrown into religion." "Look I'm no fan of religion," she said quietly incase the Tenau were listening in, "but I think I could have done without seeing the world like this... Is this how things always are for you?"
"Every day of my life. I'm a hundred and seventy four years old and I can't remember the last time I was able to enter a city secretly" "A hundred and s-- Damn, you're old," she said absently, "But, wait. How are we going to get into Aurora if you can't get in secretly. And why?" her voice lowered, "What did you do?" "I have a couple friends in the border patrol. Aurora may be huge, but the people have good memories. And yes, I'm old as crap." "Explains why I'm stubborn as crap, doesn't it?" "Explains the senility too," she smiled playfully and took a drink. "Hey, I know that your name's Kasey or something like that." "What kind of a stupid name is that?" she snorted. "Hey, it's a good name. That was the name of a girl I dated before I became prosthetic! She was a WOMAN! Or at least I think she is...I'm a hundred and forty nine! Bite me!" Brooklyn raised an eyebrow,"Right. Ever get that brain of yours checked? Might be something screwy with your programing." "Bitch, I'm no robot." "Prosthetic. I know. Nevermind," she grumbled. "Damn straight, Prosthetic. I still have all the right organs. If you catch my meaning."
With a bit of a nervous groan the girl scooted away from him a bit, "That's... That's pretty interesting." "What? Is it wrong to have the same heart that I had since I was a child?" "No, but that's not what you were... You know what, I'm gonna try and get some sleep. Okay?" "Pervert." He smiled and closed his eyes, his body starting to head to sleep. Brooklyn glared and edged away from him an additional several feet before curling up and sinking back into thought.
It wasn't long before the two were fast asleep with Gabe staying awake to keep watch. In the morning, the group took off on the dragons again, but this time Shalizar riding with Gabe and Annabelle and Brook riding with Sebastian again.
Chapter 1: With Hair Argent and Ivory...
The group flew for a good chunk of the morning, resting the dragons only every now and then. It was not until late in the day that they spotted the great city of Aurora on the horizon. Instead of resting and arriving in the morning, the group decided to make the rest of the journey and rest in the city.
As they approached the city, they were met outside of the city limits by Intimidating VTOLs heavily armored border patrol. They circled the dragons as Lasers shot out of their VTOL and landed on the dragons, targeting them. Voices boomed out of one of them. "State your business, Tenau! Your kind is not-" Sebastian held up his wristband to his face and spoke, the wristband acting as an amplifier. "Do not worry boys. It's Sebastian. These are new clones out of New Gnisis. Perfectly safe unless they're pissed off, which if we get access to a nice docking bay, won't happen." "Oh! Sebastian! Why didn't you say it was you! We'll escort you into the city so you won't get any more trouble." "Thank you very much!" He leaned back to Brooklyn and whispered. "It pays to have friends in your home town." They were escorted to a landing bay near the edge of the city, flying between the buildings to a nice and private docking bay near the Darkwater Lounge and motel, a local favorite.
Once they set down and got off, they lead the dragons across the bridge and to a small place for cars to park after flying around. It was nice and roomy for them and they wouldn't be bothered by dumb people. Aurora seemed to enjoy it, though it seemed that Boulder was a little anxious. Once they walked out and shut the doors, two guards came, Armed and Armored with swords on their backs. They had taken after the Tenau and started to adapt their weapons but with much more ferocity. There was a reason that they had been successful in this war thus far. They came close to Sebastian and looked him over. The tension was heavy in the air as the guards were vastly superior to them and would be able to wipe them out easily, but it was broken just as fast as it as mounted as the guards took off their helmets and started laughing, embrace Sebastian. "Andrew, Lucerne. How've you guys been?!" "Good! Good! What brings you to Aurora?!" "Got some business down in the industrial zone...that reminds me, any idea where this could be?" He took out the map and showed it to them, the map had changed now that they were in Aurora and showed a red star floating above the city. "Hmm...I swear I've seen that before, but I can't place it. What about you, Lucerne?" "Same...maybe the undercity?" Sebastian groaned and placed a hand against his face.
"Not the undercity." "We have to get back to work, good luck on your search Sebastian. Hit the bar later?" "I don't see why not." "And your cute lady friends back there?" He gestured towards Annabelle and Brooklyn with a smile. "The blonde one is really cute." "Hey, if they're into small dicks, sure." "HEY! Lucern takes offense to that!" The man next to him turned towards Andrew and glared for a moment before the two turned away to return to their posts. "Alright, so." He turned back towards the ladies and Gentleman and crossed his arms. "Brooklyn and I get to head to the Industrial district for a bit to take care of business. What are you three gonna do?" Anna spoke for herself and Gabe, laying her arm across her lower chest and resting her other on the hand, stroking her chin a little. "To be honest, I do not want to be left alone in any part of this city. Somebody somewhere will recognize me or Gabe. If and when that happens, there is most likely going to be a fight and I would rather be with you, Brooklyn, and Shalizar instead of just Gabe...no offense Gabe." Shalizar spoke then, a bit of unhappiness in his voice. "Don't count me in, sirs. I'll be relaxing at the Darkwater Lounge visiting the barkeep. She and I are old friends. I'll rent us a few rooms as well." "Thanks Shalizar. If we find out what's what, we'll find you." After checking a few things and their gear, they started off into the high-Tech city of the IVT.
"I've been once or twice for work. Never saw much of the city." "You've been missing out, Brooklyn. Made up of three levels, the upper city where the citizens stay, the industrial zone where we'll be doing some business, and the undercity where I'm just assuming that this stone-majiger is.

Sep. ETA?

WHOO!
Good luck, Avalant. Hope you come back soon!
Good luck, Avalant. Hope you come back soon!
The three being left in the bar for more than a few minutes would get them killed obviously, but thankfully, Sebastian stepped in with Shalizar at his side. He didn't hesitate to come up to the bar and question why Brooklyn was here. "Why the fuck is she here? I thought she decided that this was too much for her and ran away like a coward?" He crossed his arms, the scowl evident in his face. There was a loud BANG as she slammed her freshly emptied glass down. Brooklyn slipped off her seat and stumbled grabbing onto the bar for support until the room stopped spinning enough for her to wheel around to face Sebastian. Her cheeks were flushed and her expression angry, although somewhat dazed.
"I am here," she said slowly, "because the world needs me."
"And drunk to boot. Pathetic. Might as well be on your way, girl Your help will come to be as useful as a bullet in the stomach. Besides. You've been replaced." He gestured toward Shalizar, whom was standing next to Gabe, just watching with his helmet sitting on the counter. "I am sure that there is some lonely man out there that will make your life worth it for the ten seconds before he puts you in the dirt for being so useless." She bared her teeth and her eyes flicked to Gabe who was watching her closely, "No. You don't get to tell me what'todo. I'm not going anywhere... And I didn't come back 'cause I wanted to. I came back because I can be helpful and because... I care about what happens, " she looked at Gabe again. He nodded. "... to all of the other people." Close enough.
"Oh, okay. You care about what happens? Alright." Before she could realize it, his pistol was between her eyes and was pressing her head back. "You're about to die horribly and let down the world. What do you do?" He pressed it deeper into her nose and slowly started to squeeze the trigger, even though the safety was on. A gasp escaped her lips as her back thumped into the bar. She squirmed and then froze realizing she couldn't run. She groaned as he pushed the gun into her face. Her heart raced.
"Hey!" Gabe yelled and stepped toward Sebastian, "What the fuck is wrong with you!?" "I. Don't. Like. Cowards." He wouldn't budge the pistol from her face and he wasn't phased by Gabe's movements. "ACT or you'll die. Cowards like you don't have a place here." She didn't move and didn't answer. She only continued to glare at Sebastian. Then she took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Her body stilled. "I don't know," she said quietly, "But another person doesn't have their gun to my head. You do. And I know you won't shoot." Then she reached up grabbed the gun by the barrel and wrenched it off her face.
"No. You don't know." He clicked another button and it whirred for a second. He held it up to her face again and out of nowhere a large amount of pain surged into her head as a rubber bullet impacted her forehead. "Wake up from your dream. Anybody anywhere can put a bullet in your skull for seemingly no reason just so they can have the cash in your wallet, your dignity, or just to do it. You're at least smart enough to remember that I don't kill women." He clicked the button again and the bullets transitioned back into lethal bullets. He sat down at the bar and grabbed one of the drinks from the bag that he had from earlier. He passed her one and smiled. "Take a drink, makes the body forget about the rubber bullet that I shot you with."
Sprawled on the floor in shock, she propped herself up quickly. She had just been shot! No! How!? Her fingers went to the epicenter of the blinding pain that was splitting her skull and came back wtih the lightest smear of blood. Although her vision was blurred amidst the pain she could still see it and she could still hear that bastard's voice. Rubber bullet... Her hand trailed down to the dagger stowed in her boot. That piece of shit. Tears streamed down her face from the ache. She grabbed the hilt and slid it free as she rose to her feet. All she could see was red.
"No," Gabe said under his breath and stepped in. He pushed the dagger down, "Not about you, remember?"
The grip she had was so firm her knuckles were white. Then she released it, put the blade back where it belonged and stepped past the Tenau. Brooklyn accepted the bottle, twisted off the cap and smiled as a single bead of blood ran a trail down her nose and mingled with the tears.
"You're right," she giggled, "I'm just so stupid! I'll forget all about this in about five seconds as long as I have this drink. Sebastian you're just so mother fucking smart! I didn't know that dangerous people would be coming after me if I stuck with you guys! Gosh, I thought this would be so damn easy! Whatever would I have done if you handn't just shot me in the head? I tell you, my eyes have been opened. I'm so glad I have a big strong man to show me how stupid I am!"
"I don't need to remind you that I have live bullets in the chamber. I can shoot you in the foot to see if we can compare."
"Go to hell," she hissed and downed the entire bottle in one go.
"You two are perfect for each other. " Down the line a little, Annabelle stood up and walked over, a beer in her hand. "Kiss and make up already. You're both acting like children." They turned and looked at her as she insulted them with truth. Sebasitan didn't care much, he had been called worse by better people. He smirked a little and started to lean over to Brooklyn, his tongue sticking out and wiggling. "NOT WHAT I MEANT."
Brooklyn frowned but didn't let Annabelle get to her. This had not been the first time she had been called a child today and in all seriousness she knew the Templar was right. She still had a lot to learn. Today had been the single most surreal twenty four hours in her entire young life. First the dragons, then the con-artistry, then the arms dealer and then the... she blushed and smiled weakly just thinking about it. Her face twisted when Sebastian suddenly leaned in closer with his tongue out and interrupted her little fantasy. Oh... now there was an idea. A smirk spread across her face. Before he could wrap up his crude little display she reached out, put her hand on the back of his head and pulled his face into hers, swallowing his tongue and kissing him deeply. Then she cut it short and roughly shoved him backward.

Then she cut it short and roughly shoved him backward. Brooklyn frowned and stood up. That wasn't quite the effect she had been looking for but at least now he might get off her case for a while.
He started to walk away but he stopped short and reached into his mouth, feeling something. He pulled out a couple dark red hairs and looked back to her. "What in the hell were you doing to get dark red hairs in your mouth?" "Wouldn't you like to know," she muttered and kept walking. "I'm sure Gabe would. Look at him, he's simply bursting at the seems with questions!" Gabe raised an eyebrow at him and finished his drink, "I'm sure I don't. Her business. Not mine." "But for all we know, she might have gotten herself involved with some...Succubus or something! We both know their crotches don't judge!" Brooklyn rubbed her temples. Her head felt like it was submerged in boiling water and her prosthetic friend was not helping. "She was a much better kisser than you," she said sarcastically. "Oh hooo, is that so?" He placed his hands on his hip and smirked. "First: I wasn't kissing back. Second: I don't normally use my tongue, I am a gentleman. Third-" Before he could finish, another woman walked into the bar and spoke. "Brooklyn! There you are!" The woman that walked in was scarlet haired and very...buxom. She came over to Brooklyn and embraced her, digging her tongue into her throat. She had no horns now, hidden by magic. She handed her a bag with a couple weapons in it. "You left this at my place. Figured that I should return it. I knew where you would be, thankfully. Have a good journey, Brooky." She kissed her cheek and turned, seeing the others and winking before giving a small wave and walking out. The others simply stared at the cherry faced Brooklyn turned away from them. Sebastian broke the silence. "Well...at least you didn't have sex with a vampire...or a cross breed. Their kinds love to cross breed. Trust me, while biting is fun, it's not fun with them. Add in a cross breed and you get...well...a "fucking bloody disaster". HA BA DUM TSH" He "air-drummed" out the badumtsh and got the others laughing.
Heading out of the bar and making their way out of the city, the group went into the forest and went to hunt down the area where they agreed to meet back at. They found the dragons, sleeping and relaxing, Aurora using her paws as a pillow while Boulder was on his back, snoring it seemed like. "What in the god damn...?" Shalizar was frozen as they came upon the creatures stirring from their slumber and stretching out their scales. "What are those, Sebastian?!" He drew his spear from his back and Boulder was the first to react, taking an aggressive stance and preparing to kill the puny Shalizar very quickly and with plenty of acidic pain. Sebastian was on him and put a hand on his spear. "Sheath it. They're friendly, but they don't take kindly to being threatened." He was reluctant, but he did as he was told and placed his spear on his back. "They're from an island a couple hundred miles into the dead zone. Hidden. They're dragons. Come on, you can ride boulder...provided Gabe doesn't mind."
The group mounted their dragons, this time Annabelle riding with Sebastian and Brooklyn riding with Gabe due to Brooklyn's snappy attitude. Though Shalizar was squeamish, he stayed with and they took off for the air, rising above the dotted cloudline and enjoying the view. Annabelle spoke while they flew, the beating of the wings privatizing their conversation. "So...I-" "Not in the mood for talking." "Stow it. I want to talk. So...I wanted to talk about my mother." "Your mother the seeress..." "My mother the Templar Commandant." "Wat.Wait wait wait wait...." "It just hit you did it not?" "How long have you been hunting me?" "About three years." "So that means that even though you used children against me-" "Dwarven deathrow-mates that I shaved and had stylists make look like children." The dragon slowed down as he came to several realizations and his face started to turn red. "I...you...your mother is a cunt, you know that? Also, you both look spectacularly alike." "It's why we don't talk anymore." "I...uh, why now?" "I am paid to be the way I am as I have to hold up my mother's name in the templars. I'm not on the job right now...technically." "So I've been treating you like dirt for no reason." "Not exactly. I did put those scars on you and make you think that children died...and I do look a lot like my mother, so I can understand the confusion." "Son of a fucking whore...I, uh..." "Yeah, no need. Already get what you are trying to say. Just wanted to get it cleared if we're going to be killing together. Still not friends." "Fine by me."
They two groups continued flying for a good two hours before the sun started to go down and they were forced to land. They landed at the base of a hill with forest around it. A small grove. "We'll set up camp here for the night. How was your first flight Shal-" The young Tsurask fell off of Boulder and started to crawl a little ways before finding a tree and hugging it. "HATE. FLYING. HATE IT. I LIKE HORSES BETTER."
"I am here," she said slowly, "because the world needs me."
"And drunk to boot. Pathetic. Might as well be on your way, girl Your help will come to be as useful as a bullet in the stomach. Besides. You've been replaced." He gestured toward Shalizar, whom was standing next to Gabe, just watching with his helmet sitting on the counter. "I am sure that there is some lonely man out there that will make your life worth it for the ten seconds before he puts you in the dirt for being so useless." She bared her teeth and her eyes flicked to Gabe who was watching her closely, "No. You don't get to tell me what'todo. I'm not going anywhere... And I didn't come back 'cause I wanted to. I came back because I can be helpful and because... I care about what happens, " she looked at Gabe again. He nodded. "... to all of the other people." Close enough.
"Oh, okay. You care about what happens? Alright." Before she could realize it, his pistol was between her eyes and was pressing her head back. "You're about to die horribly and let down the world. What do you do?" He pressed it deeper into her nose and slowly started to squeeze the trigger, even though the safety was on. A gasp escaped her lips as her back thumped into the bar. She squirmed and then froze realizing she couldn't run. She groaned as he pushed the gun into her face. Her heart raced.
"Hey!" Gabe yelled and stepped toward Sebastian, "What the fuck is wrong with you!?" "I. Don't. Like. Cowards." He wouldn't budge the pistol from her face and he wasn't phased by Gabe's movements. "ACT or you'll die. Cowards like you don't have a place here." She didn't move and didn't answer. She only continued to glare at Sebastian. Then she took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Her body stilled. "I don't know," she said quietly, "But another person doesn't have their gun to my head. You do. And I know you won't shoot." Then she reached up grabbed the gun by the barrel and wrenched it off her face.
"No. You don't know." He clicked another button and it whirred for a second. He held it up to her face again and out of nowhere a large amount of pain surged into her head as a rubber bullet impacted her forehead. "Wake up from your dream. Anybody anywhere can put a bullet in your skull for seemingly no reason just so they can have the cash in your wallet, your dignity, or just to do it. You're at least smart enough to remember that I don't kill women." He clicked the button again and the bullets transitioned back into lethal bullets. He sat down at the bar and grabbed one of the drinks from the bag that he had from earlier. He passed her one and smiled. "Take a drink, makes the body forget about the rubber bullet that I shot you with."
Sprawled on the floor in shock, she propped herself up quickly. She had just been shot! No! How!? Her fingers went to the epicenter of the blinding pain that was splitting her skull and came back wtih the lightest smear of blood. Although her vision was blurred amidst the pain she could still see it and she could still hear that bastard's voice. Rubber bullet... Her hand trailed down to the dagger stowed in her boot. That piece of shit. Tears streamed down her face from the ache. She grabbed the hilt and slid it free as she rose to her feet. All she could see was red.
"No," Gabe said under his breath and stepped in. He pushed the dagger down, "Not about you, remember?"
The grip she had was so firm her knuckles were white. Then she released it, put the blade back where it belonged and stepped past the Tenau. Brooklyn accepted the bottle, twisted off the cap and smiled as a single bead of blood ran a trail down her nose and mingled with the tears.
"You're right," she giggled, "I'm just so stupid! I'll forget all about this in about five seconds as long as I have this drink. Sebastian you're just so mother fucking smart! I didn't know that dangerous people would be coming after me if I stuck with you guys! Gosh, I thought this would be so damn easy! Whatever would I have done if you handn't just shot me in the head? I tell you, my eyes have been opened. I'm so glad I have a big strong man to show me how stupid I am!"
"I don't need to remind you that I have live bullets in the chamber. I can shoot you in the foot to see if we can compare."
"Go to hell," she hissed and downed the entire bottle in one go.
"You two are perfect for each other. " Down the line a little, Annabelle stood up and walked over, a beer in her hand. "Kiss and make up already. You're both acting like children." They turned and looked at her as she insulted them with truth. Sebasitan didn't care much, he had been called worse by better people. He smirked a little and started to lean over to Brooklyn, his tongue sticking out and wiggling. "NOT WHAT I MEANT."
Brooklyn frowned but didn't let Annabelle get to her. This had not been the first time she had been called a child today and in all seriousness she knew the Templar was right. She still had a lot to learn. Today had been the single most surreal twenty four hours in her entire young life. First the dragons, then the con-artistry, then the arms dealer and then the... she blushed and smiled weakly just thinking about it. Her face twisted when Sebastian suddenly leaned in closer with his tongue out and interrupted her little fantasy. Oh... now there was an idea. A smirk spread across her face. Before he could wrap up his crude little display she reached out, put her hand on the back of his head and pulled his face into hers, swallowing his tongue and kissing him deeply. Then she cut it short and roughly shoved him backward.

Then she cut it short and roughly shoved him backward. Brooklyn frowned and stood up. That wasn't quite the effect she had been looking for but at least now he might get off her case for a while.
He started to walk away but he stopped short and reached into his mouth, feeling something. He pulled out a couple dark red hairs and looked back to her. "What in the hell were you doing to get dark red hairs in your mouth?" "Wouldn't you like to know," she muttered and kept walking. "I'm sure Gabe would.

As the young, beautiful Brooklyn walked the streets, going deep into the city. She was lost for a while, but then she realized that she was only walking for fifteen minutes. She huffed and started to turn back to head towards the bar, but she stopped as she saw a woman sprinting around the corner and grabbing her, yanking her into an alleyway. She was tall, a head taller than her, with skin tight black jeans on, an unzipped black hooding with white inside linings. Underneath, she had a right corset that pressed up her large assets. She had what many men would call a perfect body. Hourglass figure, small hip, strong, powerful legs and thighs. The only downside was that she was hiding her head in the hood. The woman put Brooklyn against the wall and hid her face in hers, pressing her lips against Brooklyn's. She felt a tongue slip inside of her mouth and...down her throat...and she felt compelled to grip the woman's sides and kiss back. A few moments later, several officers stepped by with swords in hand. One stopped to look, but did not stray as Brooklyn gripped the woman's arse and pulled her leg up to wrap around the woman's hip. The officer forgot about it and ran on.
After a couple moments more, she disconnected and let Brooklyn catch her breath. "Too close that time..." she said. She lowered the hood and Brooklyn nearly screamed as she saw the woman's head. Long horns with ridges extending from her forehead and extending to the back of her head, dozens of ridges on them as they curled and twisted. They were beautiful and intricate. She had long hair, falling to about the middle of her shoulders, dark red colored. Her face was narrow, but very attractive with magenta eyes. Her lips were plump and juicy. Then it hit her, her legs felt weak. "Thank you, Brooklyn." Alarmed, she asked how the woman knew her name. "As a...lover of magic, I find out many great things from just being around people." She stared at the scarlet haired vixen for a couple moments before she spoke again. "I'm Madeline." She took Brooklyn's hands and shook them. "Wow..." she smacked her lips and smiled. "You...taste fantastic...ya know. I happen to have a friend back at my place...if you want to, you, her, and myself can have some fun...what do you say?" She wanted to run and get away from this woman, but a large part of herself said to stay. Something in her stomach rooted her to the ground. She nodded.

Forty five minutes later....
Brooklyn stumbled into the bar, as if she was drunk. "Where the hell have you been?!" asked Annabelle. "Gabe has been throwing a fit, he was about to go looking for you!" She and Gabe were at the bar with a couple drinks in their hands.

I don't see what's wrong with her. She's absolutely fantastic and only lends more to the cruel cruel idea I have brewing. In fact, she's more than perfect.
You should stop being hard on yourself, she really is great :)
