A Game of Love

Tabitha and Tachi

Tabitha was sitting aside from the conversation
Kieran was having with Caity, content to draw, she had her head bowed over her sketch pad, and was carefully drawing a few small details, her magenta hair falling over her face as she did so. She hummed to herself as she drew, finding peace in the simple task. She was feeling a heck of a lot better and she relaxed, letting herself sink into the art

Tachi had stood and paced. His hands ran through his hair and he somewhat ignored the small dog running around. He paused and inhaled getting a grip. He shook his head and started to walk off intent on finding his fantasy house or whatever and put on his actual clothes. As he walked his pants got snagged and ripped off as rip off pants are to do. He did not seem to notice and stopped when he saw the girl drawing. Her pink hair caught his attention and he found himself walking toward her not realizing that he was currently garbed only in his black thong.

Tabitha looked up as she heard someone approach, carefully setting aside her pencils, she studied him a moment, a little perplexed. Where they meant to be walking around in their undergarments? She looked down at herself, frowning slightly, then back up to the man. Not that she minded, really. He had a good body, and she shifted, hugging her sketch pad to him. Not that Tabitha went for a body, but rather the person behind it, it was still nice to appreciate art, in any form. She watched him come to her, and smiled brightly. "Hello. Do you realise you're walking around in...wow. Is that a thong?" She asked, almost innocently

Tachi stopped and saw that she was frowning. He tilted his head feeling a bit confused until she spoke up. Ah that explains it. He gave a rather sheepish smile and shrugged. "Yep...that is a thong. and no...no i did not realize that my pants ripped off." He sighed. "Well I was going to atop by and ask if I could see what you were drawing....but I think I should find somewhere to put on my actual clothes" She was cute and he was still coming down from feeling terrified about being in a place of fae so that was probably why he was acting slightly different then his normal full of himself attitude.

Tabitha smiled sweetly, and looked down at her sketch pad. "I was just drawing someone" She said, looking up almost cheekily, "She didn't seem to want me to, but I am" She giggled, and rose, careful not to knock over her pencils. The guy seemed sweet, and...innocent. She tilted her head, studying him. "So I'm guessing since you didn't know that you were unclothed, and are wearing a black thong...that you work in the ah, sensual dancing industry?" She asked cheerfully, as she came to her full height, which wasn't very tall at all, and looked up at him, still smiling sweetly.

She offered him her hand, "I'm Tabitha"

Tachi's brow raised at her comment and he smiled. "sneaky art I like it" Her giggle was adorable...wait what the heck. Was it the location or his brain making him realize that he liked her. Even if she was short. Travel size. Her comment resulted in an honest laugh to escape him. "Well, that is certainly one way to phrase my job, but yes. Yes i am what you call a sensual dancer" Another chuckle. He gently took her hand and shook it. "Tachi" The next thing he did was a Japanese bow. Probably weird to others, especially right now, but to him that kind of politeness was ingrained into his behaviors. Though he doesn't display them often at work.

Tabitha blinked and watched him as he bowed, a little taken aback, but she smiled pleasantly,"A pleasure to meet you, Tachi" She said, deliberatly trying to copy him and stumbling. She frowned at herself, and then looked to him, blushing slightly. "I...I normally have more balance then that" she said, not wanting to have looked like a fool. She hugged her sketchpad to her, suddenly a little shy. She shifted slightly, rocking back on her heels as if to prove she was well blanced. "Well, you certainly have the body for that line of work. An artful body, for an artful occupation"

Tat watched her stumble, but the attempt was appreciated. He resisted bowing again as was custom for japan and managed not to. He chuckled at her blush and statement and shook his head. "Don't be. I appreciate the attempt" Was he being nice. Friggin heck. Then the next comment caught him off guard. Sure he was used to comment about his body but...artful occupation. That was new. Even though he liked his job he usually got pity or disgust...sometimes curiosity, but...a compliment on it was new. "T...Thanks" He rubbed his neck and snapped himself out of it. "Well...If you ever want to draw me I would be willing to help you out...that way you don't have to be sneaky" Wow that was terrible good job. He internally winced, but hey maybe she would take him up on it.

Had she baffled him? Tabitha looked up at him, studying him somewhat as she tried to figure out what she had done to fluster him. It was sweet, and she smiled, her perplexed expression slipping away as she bounced slightly at his offer to let her draw him, "Oh, i'd really love that" she said cheerfully, "Really, I really would" she said, studying him again, a small smile on her face, really appreciative. "if you'd like to now...that would be great" she said, looking back to him

Tachi watched her bounce with excitement and smiled. "Sure why not." The duffel got put down and he paused a moment. "How do you want me to stand?" The hell was he doing. Oh well it isn't like they have anywhere else to go. After all they are stranded in the fae realm with tiny fairies everywhere.

Tabitha smiled excitedly, bouncing happily and pleased to have a willing subject, she just about ran around Tachi as she studied him from just about every angle, bouncing with each step. She clapped her hands happily, and sitting down, not concerned at all with the tall, naked man standing above her she said "that's okay you can sit now, I'm good. Good memory" she said brightly flipping to a clean page, she quickly began to sketch, constantly moving where she sat.

Tachi blinked as the pink hair Tabi bounced around him like the energizer bunny and found himself smiling. Though she did inspect every angle of him...part of him wondered what she tho-get yourself together idiot. besides she has too much energy for you. But he liked that. He shook his head then raised a brow. "A good memory huh? was that developed from sneaking art?" a playful tease...damn he should just combust now and get it over with. He sat down and waited to see what she came up with liquid topaz eyes filled with swirling thoughts and emotions.

Tabitha looked up, and blinked, studying his eyes a moment. "oh, uh, no. More so I wouldn't have to keep looking up and crabbing my neck and this way people don't have to be standing for ages while I draw" she said brightly and smiled, leaning over the drawing again, seeming to move to the beat of her own rhythm, glancing up every so often to check a small detail, or colour. She drew quickly, filling in the details as she came to them. "the sneaky part is just for me. Makes me feel like a ninja" she said with a giggle

Tachi tilted his head. "Thats really cool of you." Again with the nice. Something about this girl with the stab you in the eye pink hair is really getting to me. get over it you're arranged remember He watched her for a few more moments and realized he was basically dry now. Finally. He chuckled. "The pink haired ninja. Wait no...the art ninja." Another hint of playfulness another internal wince. That giggle made him feel weird. Damn it you're in a fae realm wearing a thong this is the moment you decide to open...with a person you barely know. dumb ass He inhaled and looked down before his eyes found themselves trailing back up to her face to watch while she worked. This is how you become a dumbass

She carefully choose the right colour for his eyes, gently filling them and somehow getting the emotion in them, a little baffled, a little intrigued. The colour was so...unique and warm. She could just about fall into them. She looked up and blushed slightly, seeing him watching her. A little flustered she bowed her head, and finished off the drawing, suddenly shy. Tachi was being so nice to her, and she didn't know what to make of that. Squirming, she held the image up, hiding her face behind it

Tachi gave a small smile when she looked up and blushed then went back to drawing. Hand yourself over you are so beyond dumb He let out a bath and refocused when she held out the image. He blinked then blinked again. "Thats...amazing" He stared at the picture that had so much detail and color. wow He looked at her a moment then back at the picture. He seemed...warmer then normal. More receptive. Even in that thong. How the hell does she have this affect on me....I barely know her

Tabitha smiled and turned the image to her, immensely pleased. She carefully extracted the picture and held it out to him, "you can have it" she said because he seemed to need it and bounding up she trotted around him happily, seeming to have forgotten that Tachi was mostly naked, leaning in to give him a kiss on the cheek, and giggling, happy now. She liked being with people that seemed to understand her, and now she suddenly had Kieran, who she could see was still talking with caity and Tachi. Why did she find guys that seemed to like her after she was to be married? After she was transported to this world?

Tachi tilted his head and gently took the picture. He gave a bright smile reaching his eyes. "Thank you Tabitha." He then froze when she kissed his cheek. He blinked and gently put the drawing in his duffel. He then smiled at her. "I'm glad I managed to run into you." He looked down topaz eyes suddenly clouded. He stood and grabbed his duffel feeling his walls inch up a bit. "This was nice. But I think I should go put on clothes now. If you want.....you can stop by the weird house ill be in" He smiled again and gave a bow figuring she wanted to find someone else....someone less him. He turned fully prepared to walk away but hoping maybe they would hang out again sometime...maybe when he was fully clothed.

Tabitha blinked, a little baffled at his sudden closure. She stood there, trying to figure out if she had done something wrong, and she sighed softly, watching him go a moment before she smiled and bounded around him, in a quick little circle, stopping in front of him and giving him a bright smile. She hugged him, uncaring of his near nakedness. "thank you, Tachi, for being...nice to me"

Tachi blinked and then got hugged. His brain froze for a second before he embraced her in return. He had to bend slightly to embrace her fully but he was fine with that. He held the hug a bit longer and then leaned back. "You are welcome Tabitha." He went back into the hug for another moment and a side of him hoped that maybe whomever he was arranged with would be this...unique. He leaned back again and tilted his head. "I am sorry....I...." an awkwardness settled over him and he slowly left the embrace. "I am being arranged by my parents....so I..." His eyes dropped. I have to keep my distance from everyone....why am i having a hard time doing that with her? Why am I suddenly upset at being arranged....what is wrong with me He really did not seem to care that he was still just in a thong and boots. That is the attire he is usually in for his job after all.

Tabitha sighed a little down now at the reminder of her real life. She looked up at him, wide eyed innocence, her joy gone somewhat. She was saddened that he broke the hug, and she stood there, feeling a little cold. "I am too" she said softly, a little dejectedly, "but...I don't want to be"

Tachi blinked at the sadness she was expressing and internally face palmed. He lightly pulled her back into a hug his voice now low a pang of sadness wrapped in his voice. "I don't want to be either...but I kind of put myself in this position" He kept in the hug this time he would let her break the embrace. Thinking of something to change the mood around..."You know...if you want to come with me...if this house is really supposed to be my fantasy house then there will be japanese tea" Desperately trying to bring that joy back to her eyes.

Tabitha leaned into the hug, now seeming to have completely forgotten that Tachi was only in a thong. "I didn't though...I was just being myself..." she said softly, burying her face against his chest, at the invitation she looked up a little wide eyed, but happy, she nodded and then hesitated, seeing Kieran finishing up with Caity. "id love to, but I'd like to make sure my friend is okay" she said almost regretfully, "maybe...later? I'd really love that. I've never had Japanese tea"

Tachi smiled and nodded. He followed her gaze and raised a brow. Then he refocused on Tabi and nodded. "Okay. I will see you later then. Oh wait. here" He gently dug through his duffel so as to not disturb the drawing and pulled out a sharpie. He gently dug through some more and found a post it pad. he wrote his number on it and handed it to her. "Feel free to text or call or whatever Im there"

Pakora Academy [A magical school RP] [CLOSED]

Ceriwedyn

The black haired young woman had arrived at the school, without much hard ship. She found somewhere to sit while she waited for things to begin, and she soon fell asleep, leaning against the wall, she didn't fall off her chair. It was probably a good thing that she was asleep. The overwhelming emotions of fellow students would have, perhaps, sent her completely spirlling out of control. And that was not what she wanted on her first day. As it was, Ceri experienced weird, emotion filled dreams. The young girl had no idea what she was going to do, to survive in the school, but she had to stay. She had no where else to go, after all. What she simply wanted in the school was to, well, stay sane.

She just wanted to find a place to belong. She hoped that that place was here. She just wanted...some understanding. She wanted to learn how to control what she could do, to learn how to make sure she wasn't going to explode, or explode someone else. Stirring awake, Ceri realised that she had missed just about everything and was probably now...weird to everyone. Sighing to herself, she moved through the crowd, keeping her ears open and listening to people. She made sure not to touch anyone, the mere empathy without touch was more then enough to make her jittery, to make her feel like she was going to become overwhelmed, and she hugged herself.

She didn't try to get close to anyone, as she tried to make her way to the dorms, to where she hoped her gear was. Becoming more and more overwhelmed, Ceri spun away from anyone close to her, dashing away and making sure that she didn't come close to anyone. Shaking slightly, the young elf bowed her head, and breathed in and out slowly. Her hands curled into fists, her fingernails digging into the palm of her hands, drawing blood as she tried to focus on her own emotions. "Why can't I...control this?" She whispered to herself, letting her black hair fall over her face.

Nearly finished my nudging the ball along post

A Game of Love

Kieran, tabitha, Caity

Slightly more comfortable, Kieran looked down at his hand intertwined with Tabi's and gave it his best poker face. He looked at Mika without batting an eye and acted like holding hands with a random girl was an everyday thing. Kieran truly has no shame, so it didnt embarress him in the least. "Yea we know eachother. We are long time soul mates, having known each other since birth practically. We have gone on many epic quests, and even conquered the dragons lair." Kieran chuckled at Tabi's reaction. "This land of magic and fairies is just our next conquest." Kieran sighed slightly. "Sorry Tabi didnt mean to nearly give you a heart attack, we actually havent known each other very long we met briefly before we were spirited away to her."

Kieran held up his and Tabi's intertwined hand. "This....well its more of safety thing you know? Dont wanna get zapped away again. Tabi is keeping me safe." Kieran extended his other hand towards Mika. "My name is Kieran, and this is Tabi."

Mika observed the pair in front of her, a sort of half smile growing on her face. She didn't want to freak them out too much, she didn't have any idea what the future held. She could need their assistance in the future and she didn't want them thinking she was some half-wit. 

"You know, my Nooki used to tell me that stories are just truths from a different perspectives. Perhaps you're just a little more in touch with those perspectives than the rest of us." Mika said.

"And where are you lot from? Judging from the fact that you aren't wearing ten layers to protect yourselfs from the oncoming storm, I'd say somewhere warm. The majority of you were, perhaps you all had a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Wouldn't that be an interesting puzzle. You have the majoirty of the pieces, and decide to take some from another just to see if they fit?" Mika was aware she was rambling, and she cut herself off with a shake of her head.

"I apologize, I was informed that the spirits, while normally cryptic, normally have a lot more of a systematic approach to things. Perhaps that was whistful thinkings of someone who had more faith in the supernatural than the human race." Mika said, taking Kieran's hand and shaking it firmally. 

"It is truly a pleasure to meet the two of you." She smiled warmly at both of them, finishing her external reflection of an inner turmoil.

Tabitha shifted slightly as the woman mistook them holding hands as something else, and looked up when Kieran wove a story, rocking back slightly and just listening for now, poking her tongue out at him when he laughed at her. Glancing back to the woman, she gave her a small smile, trying to seem a little more...normal, but that never seemed to work anyway. "I think its more the otherway around" she said softly, looking to Mika when she spoke, "Thats funny. I think the same with artwork" she said, shrugging. 

She looked down at her clothes, giving another shrug, "Well, yeah, but I don't tend to dress for weather" She said, "Cause thats no fun" She smiled brightly, then shrugged again, "Who knows why they brought us here, from where we were? maybe it doesn't have to do with location but...attraction? maybe they saw something in each of us. Don't know what, though" 

She frowned, "Are you saying you've had experience with this type of thing before?" She asked, and then began to worry slightly. What if her more eccentric drawings were...influenced from things?

Kieran narrowed his eyebrows, realizing he basically just walked straight into crazy town, bought a large bucket of popcorn, and arrived early enough to see the previews. Kieran sighed internally, already feeling mentally tired. But it would rude to just walk away, not that he normally cared, but Tabi would make a fuss at him. Kieran smiled, giving away his signature grin, and lit his eyes up with excitement. "Well I try not to depend too much on the spirits too much, gets in the way of dealing with every day life." Kieran put his hand behind his head and laughed.

"I try to focus on the present and draw on my own mental creative energy, to better stimulate a victorius outcome that is much more preferenced than a most unfavorable ending. I like to channel my surroundings and personal feelings, and turn them into words. I am a writer, so maybe these....fairies snatched me up because they thought I could produce great entertainment. So long as they dont ask me to write poetry. I stink at poetry."

Kieran looked at Tabi, seeing her discomfort. Kieran felt obligated to cheer her up. He poked her side, giving her a "be happy" look. "And besides I dont think the spirits are that interested in our daily comings and goings. I believe they are mostly bystanders."

Mika could tell when she wasn't wanted. Years of being a nosy paralegal gave her the knowledge of when people didn't want her around or found her weird and annoying. 

"I grew up learning about spirits. Not necessarily these ones though. I'm Ojibwe, up from Minnesota. They're very superstitious up in those parts, and I suppose I am a bit too." Mika admitted, shrugging as she looked around the houses. She saw hers, as it wasn't a house but a tent. A very big tent but a tent nonetheless, which reminded her.

"You're scared of your house, which is supposed to be the house fo your dreams. It's odd to be scared of a house that was made just for you, don't you think Tabi?" Mika asked the girl, suddenly very curious about his distate for the house provided to him. He was an odd fellow indeed, but then again, so were the rest of them.

"Oh, word to the wise, I wouldn't eat the food. The side affects might be a little less than optimal." Mika told them, even as her stomach growled. She hadn't eaten lunch but who knew what side affects their food would bring. Until she could get one of them in a vow that said the food was completely 100% magic free, Mika wouldn't touch it.

Tabitha frowned,and poked her tongue out at Kieran again at his look, before looking back to Mika. "Ojibwe? Oh. Cool" She said, not one to ever judge someone's culture, "I mean...i know there are strange things out there, but....being teleported to the land of the fairies? I don't know...I guess its real since we're here, but..." She sighed. 

At the question, Tabitha was a little taken aback. She glanced back to the house that she supposed was hers, remembering how perfect it was. Was that to keep them here? She looked back to Mika "Uh. Hm. Well. Somethings people just don't want to...deal with things. Just because something is perfect, doesn't mean that it is..well perfect" She said softly, glancing to Kieran, then back "Doesn't mean that they are scared"

She rocked back on her heels, keeping her balance just nicely, "But what if we're here forever and ever? I can't last that long without food. I'm a tiny little woman" She said wide eyed. 

Kieran steeled his expression, letting nothing show. He...he wasnt scared of what may be in his cabin....or maybe he was. Kieran had multiple reasons for not wanting to go inside his cabin and they were all his own, but how the hell did this women know? How could she tell? Was it actual spirits? Was she psychic? Kieran mentally face palmed himself, telling himself not to get worked up over something silly. Maybe she guessed it, and she just got lucky.

"Im not scared to go inside my own designated cabin, but I think its just....well I mean....look there is no way my cabin knows exactly what I want ok. My mind is my most closely guarded treasure, and I dont like people peeping into ok."

Kieran tapped his foot on the ground, thinking. "We need to eat at some point, I am sure the creatures here would not....like....do anything weird to us like that."

Tabitha gave a shrug, "You saw my house. Its more the perfect art studio, then an entrance into my mind" she said, then smiled, "i'm not sure anyone can take that" She said with a giggle, giving him a smile. [colo=coral]"Besides, i think it can be anything you want, really. So....you should be safe, Kieran."[/color] She said almost as an afterthought. 

"I definetely need to eat. I haven't eaten for hoooouuuurs" Tabitha said, frowning as she tried to figure out just how long it had been. "oh gosh since breakfast" She exclaimed

Kieran laughed. He shrugged off Mika's comments, in no disrespect to her. Mika seemed...slightly odd but she also seemed nice and while they were here having her as a friend would help. "Mika I hear what you are saying but Tabi needs to eat. She might litterally die. So we are going to say our good byes, for now, and hoepfully see you later." Kieran gave Mika a two finger salute, then while still holding on to Tabi, he turned them around and started to walk away. Kieran wanted to get away, away from the rest of the group for a little while. It seemed as if there was so much to explore, and he did not want to waste it all in one spot. They were in freakin NeverLand, sorta, and he intended to take full advantage. Plus he never knew, he may be able to snuff out what the Fairie people were planning with them. 

Suddenly Kieran saw another women run out from her cabin, acting frantic. Kieran looked at Tabi, sighed, then smiled and shrugged. This seemed interesting. "Lets go meet another one of our new teammates shall we Tabi?"

Kieran walked them over to the frantic young women, and Kieran snapped his fingers to get her attention. "Hey yo," Kieran said smiling",Calm down whats the matter?"

Caity's eyes swept to the man who had snapped her fingers at her. What sort of self absorbed pig of a person decided to snap at someone else? "Did you just snap...at...me?" Her voice trailed off as she registered who the snapper was. Was that... Kieran Hishamie? The author of the novel 'Deep Down'?

She shook her head. Not the time to be starstruck, Caity... Of course, now there was the potential of sounding like a fool to a well-known author... Well, he was still rude for snapping at her. She'd focus on that. "Uhm, well, if this isn't a hallucination or something of that nature, or a prank, I was thinking of the tales of the fair folk. If those legends hold any truth to them, then us eating or drinking anything here is not a good idea."

Following Kieran happily, Tabitha was beginning to feel better about being here. Perhaps it was simply that people were...real, at least. she doubted she could have come up with what Mika had said,. Studying the somewhat distressed girl, Tabitha frowned as she was completely ignored. She could get fascination with someone, particularly if you knew their works, but....Tabitha sighed, glancing about her, and back to the woman. She smiled sweetly and leaning forward, she poked the girl, "Excuse me, its really rude to ignore someone" She said, just about as politely as she could, "I never got the appeal of being flustered at famous people"

Caity finally noticed the pink-haired girl at Kieran's side. Too distracted by the presence of an author, Caity had missed the girl who was currently holding hands with said author until she poked her. What the actual fuck. It wasn't as if she had ignored the woman intentionally. Nor was she flustered!

[color=a187be]"Were you not listening to what I just said?" Caity asked, her eyes searching the area for Nico. Where was that damned movie star with an addiction to coffee? "If this is real eating or drinking anything here will trap us in the fairy world forever. And you are more worried about introductions and being ignored!?"

Tabitha blinked at the woman, and seemed a little perplexed, reaching up with her free hand to push her hair back out of her eyes, "But I'm hungry, and we could be here forever anyway, what are we going to do, die one by one until the last person eats the rest and then dies?" she asked, staring at the woman, "And you seemed to think that it was rude that Kieran snapped his fingers at you, until you saw who he was, and you ignored me....which is rude" Tabitha said, softly as if she was doing something wrong, but she didn't know what. 

She starred at the woman, rocking slightly on her heels, then blinked, "Can I draw you?" She asked as if nothing was wrong. 

"Draw me?" No way in hell was she letting someone draw her. That experience from high school art class was enough, thank you. Caity shook her head. "Look, just don't eat anything, okay? Or drink anything. Just until you know it's safe." Or until they knew if they were stuck there forever.

Finally, she spotted Nico. "Excuse me." She said to the duo, and trotted off to make sure the movie star knew about not eating or drinking.

The woman hadn't said no, really, so Tabitha glanced up at Kieran, and smiled.
