Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

Nadeline was her name huh? Jaakuna finally had a name to the face and voice. Well at least he didn’t have to call her a bitch now, at least not yet. As to what she will do to warrant that again from Jaakuna will havet o be determined in time. She made a slight comment about how she was indeed jealous. Jaakuna just laughed at how she didn’t catch onto the rhetoric that he had laced in his previous response. Nevertheless, she seemed to have some information for them, and Jaakuna was definitely interested. She had asked about a more private place that they could go to. Jaakuna smiled.

“Ah yes, there is.” He said walking out, pulling Emiri with him as he had his arm still around her, but he really didn’t even notice. He was too preoccupied with the matter at hand. “Just follow us. “ Jaakuna said as he kept on walking, proceeding walk through the bazaar.

It was about five to ten minutes that Jaakuna, Emiri, and Nadeline made their way to the Ifrit. Not in sight, of course, Jaakuna spoke. “Iris, beam us up please.” Jaakuna said.

“Yes Master Jaakuna.” Iris said.

Within seconds, a glorious light surrounded the three of them, and sending them upward to the ship. “Iris, can you please fly the airship away from Rabanstre?” He ordered and asked at the sametiem.

“Yes Master Jaakuna.” Iris said as the ship starting moving and heading towards the Ozmone Plains. It would at least be a different change of scenery.

Jaakuna then looked towards Emiri and Nadeline. “Let’s go to the dining room. That should be a good place to talk.” Jaakuna said as he simply walked to the dining room, which would be through a series of hallways, turns, and some declining of flight of stairs. A three-minute, brisk walk is all it took before one could get there. Once Jaakuna got there, and hopefully the other two not far behind, he sat down at the head of the table, to which he pressed a button and three plates arose where it had a cheese, deli meat, and cracker platter.

As Emiri was just going off into her own world in the shop, Jaakuna just simply walked around watching her. He really didn’t want to interrupt her as she was simply having the time of her life. Jaakuna would notice that Emiri was eyeing a certain beige dress. He didn’t care what dress or how much it was. He just cared that she was happy with it. Price was no worry for him.

As he saw her get giddy about it, and they went to the cash register, Jaakuna had heard a voice that he recognized and not one that he really wanted to hear. It was that woman Naddie. Jaakuna turned and her and Emiri had instantly began to exchange words with each other. Though, Jaakuna noticed the rather revealing outfit she was wearing. He couldn’t take his eyes off of it, but he eventually did after much help from his own will. Jaakuna then turned to the lady at the cash register.

“That’ll be seven hundred gil.
“Sure thing. Here you go.”

Jaakuna had handed the lady seven hundred gil and he proceed to go over to Emiri and Naddie. He heard her comment about he was returning to the scene of the crime and then she proceeded to address him as Sky Pirate. Jaakuna sighed at that. “If you’re going to be a bother, could you at least call me by my name.” Jaakuna stated as he sighed again. “It’s Jaakuna, J-A-A-K-U-N-A-, got it memorized?” He said, obviously being a dick in the process.

When she made the comment about the Emiri and Jaakuna being on a date, his face got red, but then he smiled. “Yes, in fact we are. Jealous?” Jaakuna said as he proceeded to wrap his left arm over Emiri’s shoulders, proceeding to pull her close to him.

After arriving in Rabanastre, Jaakuna could feel it. No, not the feelings he might or might not have for Emiri. It was the godawful heat. “Damn, it’s fucking hot. I forgot how fucking hot it got here.” Jaakuna cursed and cursed even more after he stopped speaking. He was just in a rage until, the very giddy Emiri tugged his arm. It seemed to subside since he now was seeing the smile on her face. Why did that cheer him up? Jakauna is so perplexed at the moment, but he didn’t bother to think on it. He just let Emiri pull him as he walked/jogged with her as she tugged him.

Making their way through the bazaar, it was as it always had been. The crowds fuller than a Seeq’s belly after supper. The two of them had to literally squeeze through the people around. It wasn’t easy either. There were some fatass people in the crowd, but eventually Jaakuna and Emiri got through and found their way into a nice shop. It was a little small, but the amount of clothes they had did not do the store justice. There was such a wide selection and Jaakuna couldn’t help but notice the people who worked there. He was drawn to the blonde hair. Just something about blondes that Jaakuna seems to be drawn too, but his admiration would be cut off as Emiri would speak about how lovely the shop and selection was.

When he saw how happy she was, Jaakuna grinned and that turned to a smile. “Yes, quite the selection.” Jaakuna spoke, his eyes just seeing how happy she seemed to be. “Pick out anything you want. It doesn’t matter how much, so go nuts. “Jaakuna said as he stood about a few feet away from Emiri as she had started wandering through the store. Jaakuna had a lot of gil on him and he knew he would be at the store for a while.

Jaakuna was just hoping to get back to whatever that wasn’t thinking about what he and Emiri just did. He needed the distraction to think about shit. So, perhaps taking her shopping would be best. Plus, Jaakuna has plenty of gil to go around, so he can spare a few thousand of it on some dresses for Emiri.

As he saw Emiri go back to her room to get something, Jaakuna just stood in the hallway waiting for her. Jaakuna was just thinking about just everything. He really didn’t know what to feel, so he just had to brush it aside. By the time Emiri came back, she had her bag. Jaakuna looked puzzled. He perhaps should have stated it. “I’m paying for any clothes you want, as a sort of apology for making you wear Savayna’s clothes.” Jaakuna said.

As he motioned Emiri to stay where she was as he quickly ran to his room using the Elevator nearby. Within minutes, he was in his room, and had got a red, white, and black backpack. Then he thought about something. Emiri had made a bigish deal about the shirt he was wearing. He didn’t know exactly why, but Jaakuna sort of felt weird wearing it. So, taking his jacket and shirt off, Jaakuna put his jacket back on and left it unzipped. Then, he went to the big bag of gil that he had gotten from Vlyn and Aloa yesterday. He got about 3,000 gil. He needed food supplies as well, so this would be a shopping trip for him too. He stuffed it into the backpack, and he went along his marry way to the hallway where Emiri was.

“Okay, lets’ go. “Jaakuna said as he grabbed Emiri’s hand, jerking along with him. “Iris, take control of the ship and drop us off at Rabanastre and then put the ship in park, would you?” Jaakuna shouted to Iris, the ship’s AI.

“As you wish, Master Jaakuna.” Iris’ cybernetic voice said as she resonated throughout the ship.

As the ship came to a stop right outside the entrance to the Dalmasca Westersand, Jaakuna and Emiri were at the departing platform. Jaakuna had the backback over one shoulder like a cool kid in high school. In seconds, a blue, red, and white beam surrounded them and they were at Rabanstre’s ground floor. “So, let’s go get you some clothes, shall we?”

The kiss that combined them was lasting over a few minutes. Well, definitely more than a simple kiss. It was more like kisses. Jaakuna didn’t know why he was doing it, but it was just something that instinctively took over. Perhaps he did know, but there was just no thought of it to put it into words. Regardless, there the two of them were against the wall, embracing in a passionate kiss.

They were against the wall, Jaakuna tempted to give into lust and desire to take her fully, but he hesitated in that regard. That slight hesitation made him pull away. Even though he did find something in him that had been dormant or silent for a few years, he didn’t want to rush it, not like with Savayna.

“Whoa, that was something that I didn’t intend to happen.” Jaakuna said as he shook his head. He had to come to grips with what just happened. “So, we should definitely go into town, what do ya say? Probably get you some new clothes?” Jaakuna said as he turned away from Emiri, hoping to avoid what just happened altogether.

Hopefully my post wasn't too much. ^^; I can edit if need be.

Desolation Row(Altered Tundra and LimeyPanda)

Chris knew that his partner would be hesitant at first. Hell, even as he said what he just said sounded crazy both inside of his head and out from his mouth, but it was something that was just crazy enough to not only believe, but to be true. He somehow convinced her to follow his idea. While she did yell out in pain from the initial punch, eventually, as she was about midway of her rant about how stupid of an idea it was, she saw what Chris was talking about. Granted, it was the complete opposite of what he had, but it was the same thing. She had Ice, which contrasted with her personality. It was the same with Chris.

“Yeah, now you see what I was talking about.” Chris said as he got up. When he did, he heard what Beth’s idea was. It was stupid, it was idiotic, but fuck it probably was their best bet. If they were to go at the safe and go out through that way, it would take them hours and just how tiring that would be Chris doesn’t want to find out. Plus, he’s got a bit of built up anger from the lack of a score, so Chris is all for Beth’s plan.

Soon, after she went out up the stairs, and to the exit of the bank, Chris would soon follow as he would have the artifact in hand. The artifact itself was light. It was dense, but it didn’t weigh as much as it looked. It probably was around twenty pounds, but Chris had lifted something much heavier than that and for much longer. As he came to the surface, he just came in time as he heard Beth call him Captain Tiny-Dick, which was funny, cause he has a pretty large dick.

“I’m here, and..” Right when he was about to finish that, he saw the wall of ice she created. It was mighty impressive for just figuring out that she had powers. Then again, Chris doesn’t know how much he can do. Perhaps he should just try and see.

As he followed her lead, Chris held the artifact-box thing in one arm, and as he focused his newly-found powers, he came to the surprise that his entire arm was a circling inferno. “Well this is new.” He said as he looked at his arm, surprised and perhaps a little drunk with the power. “Hey dumbass, duck!” Chris said as he jumped off the ice block that Beth had created and extended his arm outward in a vertical way and a fiery blast wave of fire power was launched at the cops. In the pathway, everything was burned in a straight, ten feet cyclone. The result was complete mayhem as the cop cars directly in the path of the blast were instantly engulfed in fire and the force from said fire pushed the cars back, either killing innocents and the cops or injuring said innocents and cops.

Chris landed in front of the Bank. “So, unless you want to have more fun, perhaps we should go now?”

While he was close to Emiri, Jaakuna could feel the same thing she was feeling. Maybe he was being smug too much to feel as nervous, but his heart was too racing. It was like it had gone and skipped a beat, and just repeatedly pacing faster and faster. He too was feeling the same type of way she was, but again, he’s too smug at the current moment to really notice it. However, him being the way he is being was his was of expressing what he felt.

When Emiri stuttered, not being able to get out a single, coherent sentence, Jaakuna found it really amusing…and cute She’s really cute like this. When he had entered that mindset, Jaakuna didn’t see the peck coming. It was fast, but he let it happen to, leading to him to embrace it. From him, it was much more than a peck, it was a full-on kiss. Jaakuna had found…something in him — something that he thought was dead and gone. He had found his heart.

He pressed her against the wall again, this time not in an aggressive manner. It was more…sensual. What am I doing? I just met her yesterday…and yet, I’m drawn.. Jaakuna just couldn’t stop, he wanted her, but it was weird — different. Yes, it was different now. There was something much more than him teasing. It was something unknown to him and with one kiss at a time, he will explore the unknown..

And there it was. Jaakuna figured it out. The reason why she was acting funny this morning, the reason she was so jealous. She thinks that Savayna has him and she wants to have him. Jaakuna found surprise and humor in this. He doesn’t know why, but the fact that she thinks that Savayna has him is pretty funny to him. Maybe it’s cause it’s been three years since the two of them have been like that. Or maybe he just finds it kind of funny that she’s developed feelings for him in such a short amount of time, but then again Jaakuna never really had any other frame of reference. Savayna was his only real relationship. He’s had flings, but the Ice Queen herself was the only real one.

Looking at her, Jaakuna let her out from the pinning position he had her in. He walked away, turning around and just smiling. “So that’s what it is huh? You want me don’t you?” Jaakuna grinned in a smug manner. He went up to Emiri. Knowing now what he does, Jaakuna teased her by getting in close, as she probably had moved away from the wall, touching her sides with his, bringing her in close to him. His arms around her waist, and his lips literally inches away from hers. “You know, if I didn’t know better, you wanted my rhythm of love.” Jaakuna said almost as a whisper, since he was so close to her.

They were probably staring at each other for a full minute. Jaakuna could feel the heat — the intense heat of whatever it was. There was definitely something, but Jaakuna couldn’t place it, and surely Emiri couldn’t either…Or could she? Jaakuna had no idea, but he didn’t want to down that road yet. He had to focus on what she was saying and boy was she saying something that got Jaakuna…well confused. When she said the stuff about her being jealous of Savayna and how Jaakuna probably proposed, he let go of her arm angrily. It was like what she said wasn’t the truth and it got him angry just thinking about it.

“It shows, you know.” Jaakuna said completely serious. “You truly are stupid.” Jaakuna said as he slowly had backed away from Emiri, turned away. He turned back after a few seconds, “You want to know the truth about my marriage to Savayna?” Jaakuna was livid and he was gong to tell her. “My marriage to her was arranged, by my father and her mother.” Jaakuna said, revealing the half-truth of it. “Yes, we knew each other as kids, but neither of us saw each other in that way, but she was from a rich family of a rich land. To escape certain conquering of that very land, her father and my father came to a deal and they married the two of us. “ Jaakuna said as he started walking to Emiri, taking her and pinning her against the left wall, his body against hers. It was raw, pure passion from Jaakuna. “So, you still jealous?” He said keeping her pinned against the wall and he just waited.
