Lessons Learned, Lives Lost ~ PopeAlessandros x calmay

This is a 1 x 1 RP between PopeAlessandros and calmay, if you're not us, don't post. Also, M/M, don't like, don't read!



Base Concept:

The prince has always gotten anything he's ever wanted, and as such, has become beyond spoiled. In one last attempt to turn the young master into someone deserved of his eventual post, the palace mage endows the boy with a magical pet. However the boy treats it like any other gift in his life and disregards it, not knowing the significance behind it. The repercussions for his actions are harsh and now the prince, along with his now quite disloyal pet, have to find their way out of the hell they have been dropped into. It will take quite a turn around for the youth to win the beast's trust and survive the ordeal.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Okay, would you like to start with setting or plot?

The Rebel Vampire

Yeah, it was a week long expo, tomorrow being the last day of it. I'm glad you've found something educational to do with our RP :P I only really put the attack in because there's nothing much for Mois to do with Xani down, and the only way to have something to write about is if there's something close enough for him to be called in. :P His every day work is boring. I was thinking Xani would be down for at least another week, and we could write in some posts about picking a new leader, maybe about the cell shrinking after Erik's capture, and the next major attack being almost a test to see who would be best to take over the cell. . . .I was thinking their next attack could fail and while no casualties, it would leave them on ice for a bit until we come up with a bit more of a plan *Shifty eyes*

New Eyes and an Old Soul

Short post. Since James is the one on the hunt, Dorian is letting him lead :P And don't worry, I can wait.

New Eyes and an Old Soul

Almost immediately the little vampire begins to prowl and Dorian smiles softly at the sight. He keeps his own footsteps silent and stalks behind the youth like a shadow. 'Looks like he has caught that scent. That free flowing blood would seem like a wounded deer to a pack of wolves to this Little One. He is quite the hunter. The way he seeks his prey is still quite animalistic, however I can not fault him. He is making progress' They move through town rather quickly, moving in on the scent of human blood floating on the wind from the residential quarter. At the sound of people rummaging roughly through a home up ahead Dorian slows and is pleased to see James doing much the same.

Once within sight of the home, Dorian reaches out and halts the youth, slipping an arm around the boy's shoulders and over his collarbone to wait until the coast is clear. The two men are rather efficient despite their less than sober state, the smell of the mead on their breath easily smellable from the two vampires' position. When they've gone Dorian releases James and waits to see what he'll do next, hoping the young vampire has learned not to kill.

The Rebel Vampire

Yay, a post! And my posted too :P Just so you know, I wanna use the explosion as something later for first Alexi and his brother to talk about, then something discussed by Erik and Alexi, so it should have no effect on the auction. It's too far away to affect it, at least for today. It could be a reason to cancel it for the final day however, as a precaution :P

EDIT: Oh, and I like your post. The diary entry made me grin :P

The Rebel Vampire

Despite his rather distasteful job, Orion is a reasonable business man. Most sellers dealing with slave buyers use their influence over the slave to get themselves a better deal, however Mr. Williamss knows that if he tired anything of the like with the younger Vandros' mostbelovedd slave he would lose Alexi's business forever. He does however have a slight gleam in his eyes when Joseph moves right into buyers mode. 'I see you know your master's heart well Joseph. He would do almost anything to obtain this slave. I will be kind though. Alexi is a shrewd buyer, and no matter what he would offer a fair price to me. . .' Going over his numbers he quote a reasonable price to the elder vampire, adding on of course a few provisions such as a few control devices for his work, and adding in slyly a request for Joseph to ask his master if he would meet Orion for lunch some time.

~*~*~*~*~

His eyes soon alight on the vampire, settled down and writing in a notebook of some sort. Alexi's smile stays in place as Erik closes the book and look over at him. Upon entering his room Alexi had dropped his mask, letting the stress he'd been repressing all morning drift to the surface and sine in his eyes. He can feel the weakness in his legs even as the vampire begins walking over and he laughs lightly at the comment on his condition. He waves a hand an chuckles, pushing off the door and drifting over to his wardrobe. “Nothing is wrong, as far as I can tell. This is about how I should be feeling.” As he walks he strips off his clothes, dropping them on the floor without a care.

Once at his wardrobe he pulls it open and standing there in his birthday suit he picks out a loose button up shirt and slips it on quickly, doing a few of the buttons before shutting the door once more and tottering over to his bed. With a loud huff he flops on to the now clean and made bed and rolls around a bit before flopping on his side so he can see Erik. He smiles softly and says in an exhausted voice, “And you are wrong. I am excellent at hiding what is on the inside. I simply show it now because it's you. There is no need to hide anything about this experience. . .” He lets out a soft sigh and rolls to his stomach, the ache inside throbbing again now that he is once more near it's source. Though, in truth, at only once dose it is purely a mental perception that the proximity would make him feel the emotions more strongly, however Alexi is of the firm belief that he must learn to deal with them sooner rather than later, so when around Erik he does not try to repress them at all.

~*~*~*~*~

As the elder Vandros settles in for his evening paperwork the alarm suddenly goes off overhead and with a cool efficiency he slides back into his double holsters and is sprinting towards the garage along with the rest of his team. They are new for the most part, but a couple of his old team were left after the last transfer, giving him a most difficult team to handle. However when the attack alarm goes off all are of one mind. Skidding to a halt in front of the chief with the rest of the detective team leaders he confirms their target before racing off to inform his team. 'Why now? After losing their leader you'd think that they would take a break for a while. I know he was only one leader, but still. . . .' Glancing at the sheet in his hand his stomach drops. 'A bombing. . .At one of Alexi's factories. . .In the Shuba district. I guess it's another group. Erik's group operates mostly in the Jackson district, maybe as far as Grenwald, but Shuba. . . .It must have been huge to have them call out our station'

When Realms Collide {AkiBlue & PopeAlessandros}

The cute little shy blush pulls a wide grin from the Nightmare Guardian and petting the back of Enasi's head he chuckles softly. Slipping to the side he begins walking once more. He still is rather unsure of himself, the emotion inside set to torment him for a good long time until he can purge them properly. Normally he would go to an empty place in the nightmare realm to release the emotions. There are several designated places to do this. Like the wells of positive energy in the dream realm, these places can absorb the emotions and in turn nurture the realm with it's painful goodness. 'Unfortunately, something like that would definitely draw far too much unwanted attention, so I'll have to ask a few of my darker nightmares to help me drain it off. I can't go back to the dream realm supercharged like this'

When Tiski slides over to ask her question Seishu rolls his eyes and is about to answer when Enasi speaks up. It takes all his willpower not to laugh out loud. Instead he breaths slowly and watches as Tiski and those within hearing range stare openly at Enasi, wondering if he's dense, or just a fool. After a calming breath Seishu reaches over with his free hand and tilts Enasi's chin up so he can give him a swift kiss before grinning wide. “That's not what she was talking about my dear flufflord.” Deciding to leave it at that the taller male releases the red head's chin and continue on his walk.

Tiski slides up on his other side, the one opposite Enasi, and asks softly, “He's really dense, isn't he?”

Seishu swats her hard making her yelp but responds with a smile, “He's not dense, he's just innocent, there's a difference. It's one of the things I enjoy about him.” At that Seishu gives Enasi's hip a squeeze and waves to a few nearby nightmares. One, a minotaur looking thing, tugs on a few of it's fellows and they all move to intercept the guardians. Handing Enasi off to Kaila's team, Lan and Ran flanking and Tiski positioned behind, Seishu once more steps away from his counterpart and approached the group. Most of them look like mythical monsters, and indeed most are from the minds of ancient humans, but a few appear almost human. Their skin is covered with grotesque scars and diseased skin.

He smiles at them, showing no disgust at their appearance and embracing them like they are cute little puppies. Speaking softly he murmurs, “I need to do a drain.” They all nod and without question prepare to receive the negative energy. From behind Enasi and the team Kaila comes rushing in, stopping beside his guardian before he can begin the transfer Seishu looks down at his second, those slightly wide eyes begging a question that Seishu understands but takes a moment to think on. 'He wants to take some of the energy out of me, but he knows that in his state this will hurt him. Normally I would let him, but I picked a group of nightmares for a reason. No matter how much they take, it will not hurt them'

Letting out a sigh Seishu gives Kaila a kiss and with a slightly put out expression the minion steps back. Tyar appears behind Tiski with Jentou at it's side. The robe is of a simple design and the white coloring sets off his skin and hair perfectly. Tyar was lucky to find it seeing as most of the clothing they have around camp is either modern or midevil. Jentou has always preferred white to be the perfect match for his brother and he is openly grateful to Tyar for hunting it down for him. There is a new light in his eyes as he moves forward to stand by Lan to wait for his brother, something that the siblings notice and smile at briefly.

Lan snags the blond's sleeve however when he tries to move closer to Kaila who, while complying with his master's wish, can't bring himself to move away completely until he's sure Seishu is okay. Seishu gives him a smile, nodding at Jentou when he notices him, and with another steadying breath he relaxes, holding his hands out to the nightmares. He takes it slow, not wanting their energy to surge up too quickly to the point of being very noticeable to anyone passing within a couple miles, but fast enough that he can get it over quickly. In less than a minute he's drained out all he needs to and with a nod and final touches to his nightmares he shoos them off back to work before returning to Enasi's side.

Jentou shivers slightly, calming when Kaila slips back and pull him into a hug. There is a definite chill in the evening air, and like many nights around the marsh as midnight breaks a fog inexplicably springs up around them, adding to the cold. Without being told Kaila leads the guardians to the place that was prepared for them while they walked and Seishu smiles at the sight of leathers and furs stretched out across the ground. Seishu ruffles Kaila's hair. “You know, I would sleep on the ground with you all any time, right?”

Kaila bows, one hand still holding tight to his brother's. “I know Master Seishu. However we were trying to show how grateful we are. . .” Standing back up he adds with a touch of his old half humor, “Besides, we were unsure if our delicate guest would be able to abide resting on the poisoned ground, and we knew you would want to stay close just in case.” The team take positions around the furs, Lan and Ran laying down to sleep along with Tiski while Tyar stays awake to keep watch. Seishu smirks at Kaila, the minion bringing up a good point since he himself knows what sleeping on the ground of the opposing realm can be. He does however raise and eyebrow and glance to the ground letting his second know that he and his brother are to sleep as well.

Turning to Tyar he calls out, “Tyar, when Enasi and I sleep in the same realm we tend to make a new kind of energy when we sleep. Make sure you let everyone know this and tell them not to worry. Tell them, it means my sleep is pleasant.” The shadow eyes him for a long moment then nods and settles. A lot of denizens overhear what he said and pass on the news. Seishu watches with a soft look on his face as Kaila and Jentou slide down and settle on the mossy ground, Jentou burying his face in his brother's chest before passing out right away. Holding out a hand Seishu pulls Enasi down with him on the furs with a sigh. “I don't know if you'll be able to fall asleep all that well right now, but just so you know, I won't be upset no matter how long I have to wait.” His arm settles around Enasi's waist, holding the smaller male to him gently. “Thanks for this, Enasi. . . .” With that, Seishu falls asleep, the comfort of the world around him, mixed with the exhaustion brought on by his suffering practically knocking him out as soon as his head hits the furs.
