Morthos was having a great time with Uma, she was really cute, but that kind of came with the territory being a fairy and all. This is what Roxas was talking about, just have a good time with some other girl, Jax just wanted to be friends so fine, that's what they could be. Uma started leaning in to kiss him and he was ready to kiss her. Maybe to spite Jax, maybe just to see if her kiss was any different, hell, maybe he actually wanted to and it had nothing to do wit Jax. But he wasn't going to find out because Jax ran up and basically shoulder checked Uma to the ground like they were playing full contact hockey.

Morthos went to help up Uma and was going to help Jax next but she ran off before he had the chance. He may be heavily intoxicated but he still cared about Jax. "I'm sorry Uma, I'll go check on her, I've still had a great time though." He gave her a peck on the lips then ran after Jax, finding her laying in some garbage in the alley. "Jax....." he just trailed off, he didn't know what to say. Mindlessly flirting with girls he had just met, that was easy. Trying to help Jax though, that was something else entirely.

Morthos was dancing on his own for a few moments before he even realized Jax had left him because her friends had arrived. He noticed Roxas motioning him to come over so he danced his way over, hardly listening to what he was saying. Something about if any of Jax's friends caught his eye. "You just have a good time with Ophelia my man, I'm feeling good," Morthos was shimmying as he spoke, whatever he had it was doing wonders for him. He knew exactly how he'd start off with the girls as well, his Prestidigitation spell allowed him to create almost anything, as long as it wasn't edible.

He shimmied his way over to the bar with the girls while an upbeat song played. "Hello ladies, what's in your hands, I have it, it's dangerous, it's fire," he held up his hand and had created a small flame. "Look down, back up, the fire is now roses," when the looked down he flourished his hand and created a wooden rose for each of them. "Be careful though, much like you, these roses are," he licked his thumb and index finger pinching one of the stems, it sizzled and some steam came off, "hot. Morthos Xerxes, pyromancer extraordinaire, at your service." Morthos was having a great time with his little magic tricks, he should get totally smashed more often.

Morthos was surprised when Jax grabbed him but he hugged her back thinking to himself be cool man, just be cool. She released him and ordered them some shots, mostly for herself it seemed. Morthos took his shot and made a face, it wasn't that he didn't enjoy it, it was just his alcohol drinking face. Jax was suddenly on her feet and dragging Morthos on to the dance floor, anyone who didn't know would think that he was the reluctant boyfriend being dragged to dance by his drunk girlfriend.

He went with her and did some movements that some very generous people might call dancing. She was having a great time with it all, she wasn't in time with the beat at all, but she smiled at Morthos and he couldn't help but smile back. How was he supposed to try and get with some other girl when Jax was the only one he saw. "I'll be right back," he said to her, close to her ear so she could hear over the music, "getting a drink." He made a motion pretending to drink hoping she would get it if she didn't hear. Morthos went to the bar and told the bartender, "I'll have two of whatever your strongest shot is," the dude raised an eyebrow at Morthos and replied, "I'll give you one for now, these shots are real strong, we're not allowed to sell multiple of them at a time. They're laced with magic and can cause minor hallucinations in some." Morthos just sighed, "fine, one of those then."

Morthos gave the Solars to the guy and downed the shot, and it hit him right away. He felt his head buzzing and every movement seemed to leave an afterimage. "Okay then," Morthos said as he danced his way across the floor to Jax and got in to the moves as much as she was. It turned out, dancing was may more fun when you were really drunk, who knew?

Morthos waved bye to the girls as he thought on what Roxas asked. Then it occured to him, he had no idea what he could do with Roxas while they waited for tonight. "Uh, well, I wanna change in to somethine a bit less wrecked after my fight. Then....." Nothing. Nothing came to his mind on what they could do together, honestly he'd like some time alone but he figured Roxas would be a part of their team of 4 so he had to get to know the guy. "Honestly, I don't really do much in my free time, so I don't know what we could do."

Roxas waved as well then turned to Morthos. "Yeah no that's fine. I need to change too." He also had no idea what to do. His last group of teammates got wiped out in various missions. He had no idea what to talk about or even remotely do with him. "Okay well as of today it seems like we have to get to know each other since we'll be going on missions together. I'll tell you right now that my last team was wiped out one at a time and I'm not really trusting of anyone anymore. I don't do anything in my free time either so that's something we have in common." Roxas really didn't want to sound rude, but he couldn't really help it.

Greaaaat. Hopefully they found some common ground soon or this would be an awkward afternoon. "My place isn't too far from here, let's head there so I can change then we can go to your place." In the mean time maybe Morthos could figure out something for them to do. As they walked he asked, "so, was your team wiped out like, all in the same instance, like you were prisoners? Or was it like your were targeted and this happened over the course of a week or something?" It was an awkward question but they were both awkward guys, something had to give.

He raised an eyebrow to that question then laughed a little. "Most people just shy away from it when I say that but not you. Well to answer your question no to all of that. I used to be apart of one of the best groups ever. I don't know if you hax heard of us, but we called ourselfs the Phantom Thiefs. We went on all the top missions and we kicked a lot of ass." Roxas started to smiles thinking of all the old times he had with them and started to think of Celti. His expression changed dramaticly as the thought crossed his mind. "The missions we would go on were dangerous though. The last few we had killed most of everyone until it was just Celti and I... That's not really someone I want to talk about though." He continued to walk and looked away from Morthos, a tear starting to form in his right eye.

"Wow, that uh..." Morthos didn't really know what to say to that. That was some pretty heavy stuff. "You know, I'm not gonna say I'm sorry, I'm sure you've heard it all before. I'm just glad you seem to have mostly made peace with it." They got to Morthos' house and they entered, "sorry about the mess, wasn't expecting company." There was bottles and various liquids on his table and floor from his experimenting the night before, "you know what? While I'm getting changed check out my liquor cabinet, the one in the corner there," he pointed it out. "We can have a drink for your friends, I'll be back out in a few," with that he entered his room to change.

"It's fine. I still think about them a lot, but I can't change the past. Also no worries about the house. Everything's fine." He looked around for a bit then walked over to the cabinet. "Sounds good to me." As Roxas waited for Morthos, he picked out a few types of liquor and mixed them.

Morthos came out of his room looking mostly the same, he had new clothes but they looked like his other outfit, but now he had a leather jacket on. "I see you mixed us a nice concoction here," he grabbed a glass and raised it, "to the Phantom Thieves." He waited for Roxas to do the same and drank, "whoo, stronger than what I usually have." He finished the drink and put the glass in the sink, he'd wash it later, "so your place now so you can get some new threads, yeah?"

Roxas smiled and drank with Morthos, downing the drink unfazed by how strong it was. *No one ever saw us coming." He grinned then nodded his head. " Yeah sure, to my place so I can get a nice outfit on. Chances are though It'll just be a more cleaner one of this." He pointed to his clothes and laughed a little. He picked up his bag and lead the way to his place. "You're looking nice I see. Trying to impress someone?" Roxas teased a little knowing full well what the answer was.

"I mean, Jax helped me get these for a reason, I'm trying to look nicer in general." Morthos purposely avoided the question, he had hoped his fight would have impressed Jax. Though in saying he needed to find someone she made it very clear they were to remain just friends. Who knows, maybe he'd find a nice girl at the club and not want Jax anymore, kind of like how he might change from a fire specialist to an ice specialist.

Roxas stopped in front of Morthos. "Want some advice? Stop trying as hard as you are. I know you like Jax a lot right now and trust me she likes you, but you need to relax and give her her space. She'll come around eventually. You're a good looking guy with a nice heart. You're definitely better than I am." He smiled at Morthos and patted his shoulder. "Take it from someone who messed up the first time. I lucked out with Ophelia and trust me I plan on staying with her till I die. Which might be soon, but that's not the point. What I'm saying is just give her space and time. She'll come around." He smiled again then turned around and kept on walking. Finally making it to the road to his house.

Morthos wasn't sure what to say so he just didn't say anything, just a quiet "thanks," as they kept walking. Give her some space, huh? Maybe that would be best, after all Jax had made it very clear she just wanted to be friends, even though he was sure he'd felt a spark, maybe it was just him. "You sure do live out of the way, huh?" Morthos noticed they were a bit far from anywhere he had ever been as long as he'd been living here.

Roxas nodded in response to Morthos' comment. "Yup. I don't like to be near the city." They came up to his house and turned around to see if Morthos would react to it. "I worked my ass off for this place. Welcome to my place." He opened the door and started his way up to his room. "You're welcome to look around if you want." Roxas dissapered into his room and changed.

"It's nice," Morthos said simply. It was nothing fancy, but it was a nice cabin away from everything with a pretty decent view. He wouldn't mind living here himself, but the convenience of being close to everything was too good to pass up. Morthos didn't look around much but he did grab a glass of water since he was feeling a bit thirsty, he was sure Roxas wouldn't mind.

Roxas walked out after changing and met up with Morthos. "Okay I'm ready. We've got some time what would you like to do?" He sat down at the table and had a glass of water too. "I don't do much so figured you'd have an idea. Or you could tell me a little about yourself so I can help you out at the club. Unless you don't want to do that anymore."

"The thing is, right?" Morthos sat down and started on a bit of a rant, "all the interesting things about me I wouldn't want to tell people I don't trust. Like I'm basically royalty, I don't have a castle or anything, but I have lots of money from that. If someone finds that out they just wanna use me for my money. I guess I have my magic, but pretty much everyone has some kind of magic or ability, so it's not that cool. I can play a bit of piano, is that something girls are in to? I have zero idea what I'm doing." Morthos sighed and put his head in his hands, if not for Jax he wouldn't even be going to a club, totally not his scene.

"Alright this is what we'll do. We'll tell them about your magic and piano playing because that's hella cool. All you really have to do is just talk to them. If they ask about money and whatnot just be like I'm a normal man with a normal pay. They'll drop it. Anyways if they are interested in you it won't be for your money." Roxas smiled and laughed a bit. "I think I figured out what we're going to do." He stood up and poured some more water for the two of them then started to help Morthos out with what he would say. Before to long it was time for them to go to the club and they made their way. Right before they entered, Roxas looked at Morthos. "Don't worry to much just be yourself. Also let me tell you a secret. I hate this place too." He smiled put on some sunglasses and opened the doors dramatically so everyone was looking. He found Ophelia and walked right over to her and kissed her long and deep.

"Yeah, be myself," Morthos said to himself as they entered. Of course Roxas wanted to make some grand entrance, Morthos was already regretting coming here. But this was supposed to be a celebration, so he made his way over to the girls with a little wave. "Looking good girls, glad you could find some outfits that were to your liking." Jax was looking great, but he had to not think about that, he was gonna listen to Roxas' advice and just give her space.

@Mae the horns aren’t something he can hide easily, so coming from the forehead is how I imagine it’d be hardest to hide them if he wore a big hood or something

Morthos noticed Jax’s tattoo placement then tactfully averted his gaze. Ophelia mentioned her and Jax going shopping and she must have read his mind. Morthos didn’t enjoy shopping even for himself, so having an excuse to not do it was awesome. Though he did want to spend time with Jax but he’d meet up with her later. “Ya, sure, you guys find an outfit, Roxas and I will...” he wasn’t sure what they’d do, he didn’t know Roxas too well yet. “We’ll figure some way to kill time, right buddy?”

Drawing Characters!

@Mae okay so here's the original picture I had for him

Morthos

so he looks like that, but clothing wise he's gone through a bit of a makeover. He now has short hair, wears jeans and a leather jacket. You know, make him look cool. He's a wizard who uses fire and works out a bit so his body can handle it. He;s mostly a loner and doesn't really care for people.

Drawing Characters!

I see you are drawing art. This is good, as I need an updated look for my character in my only active RP right now.

You said you would read it so you should have an idea :P but basically he should look a bit like Hellboy. Red skin, horns, tail, kinda muscly but not too much, with jeans and a cool leather jacket. You can respond to that PM I sent the other day if you need more details. I mostly just wanna see you art and how it comes out :P

Morthos wasn't expecting the hip check from Jax so he stumbled a bit when she hit him. It seemed everyone was happy to help him get in a relationship with someone, Roxas even offering to be his wingman. Morthos had read enough fiction and seen enough shows to know generally what a wingman was supposed to do, though Morthos hoped Roxas would do a better job than it seemed every wingman Morthos had seen in the past had done. Thinking about it, he hadn't been drunk in a long time, and before the other night with Jax and the wine he hadn't drank in a long while either. He was sure he must have had a reason but he couldn't think of what it was right now.

Well, at any rate Morthos was sure tonight would be at least a little fun. He decided to get his tattoo on his right shoulder blade. He thanked the artist and found Ophelia was the only one out so far, though he was sure the others would be done soon. "Hey Ophelia," Morthos began asking, he hadn't had a chance to ask earlier, "how to vampires react to fire? Like, do they burn easier than other people? In case those twins find me tonight I wanna know if I have a good chance at fighting them off." He laughed and was mostly joking, but he was also genuinely curious as to how vampires reacted to fire.

The next few moments were a bit of a blur for Morthos, clearly no one really liked the look of the twin vampire girls. That kind of made Morthos feel bad, but the vampire twins didn't seem too offended. They just made a promise of catching him later before speeding off in sync. Ophelia's mention of tattoos lightened the mood, "oh ya, totally forgot once you're D tier you get fancy tattoos, I'm clear to go. The nurse just said to take it easy for a few days." Morthos stood up and stretched, letting out a quiet groan, "ya, definitely gonna take it easy, so Jax I couldn't take that easy lay from them even if I wanted it, doctors orders." He laughed and put his cloak in his bag he had, he'd rather just wear his new clothes he got, even if they were a bit beat up now.

"Oh ya, Roxas," he said as the group started heading out, "thanks for the save, though Jax and I aren't together, she uh," he paused, she made that abundantly clear was what he wanted to say, but that would just make her feel guilty, so he left it. "Never mind, we're not a couple, thanks still." He turned now to face Jax, she'd asked him where he got his shoes while the floozies were still around so he hadn't had a chance to answer, "as for the shoes, they were just some pumps I bought when we went shopping. I modified them last night along with making the solution, that's what I was getting after your fight at the potion shop. I basically just made it up, I'm more than just a pretty face you know." He gave her a wink and laughed, this was nice, he didn't need a big group of friends, just these three was enough for him.
