Noir [Summer and Valentine]

No, no, no, no! Eulalie stared in horror at the human who was joining their ranks, her upper lip curled in a snarl. This can’t be happening. She could count on one manicured hand the number of things that would have been worse than this. A human—a human girl—a beautiful human girl—couldn’t possibly join the circus. The succubus wouldn’t stand for it. She had worked so hard to wrap all of the male monsters around her finger, flirting and flaunting, kissing and caressing, sleeping around… She wasn’t about to let some beautiful human girl ruin all of her efforts. Especially…

Eulalie’s midnight black eyes roved over the crowd until they found Kaine. Her heart pounded with jealous rage when she saw his gaze transfixed on the human. Of course he’s interested in her, she thought sourly. She smells delicious. Ugh, this little wench is ruining everything! Still fuming, she made her way through the crowd to stand at the demon’s side. Perhaps if she asserted her presence, she could distract him. It always worked on the other men in the circus.

“Kaine,” she murmured in a half-sigh, tracing her slender fingers down his arm as she slowly entwined her limbs with his. “I can’t believe Iliana. She’s inviting food to live with us.” The succubus leaned her head against Kaine’s shoulder, pressing her body close to his as she exhaled against his skin. “But we shouldn’t let her ruin our party. We still have tonight, so why not… make the most of it?” Moving to stand in front of the demon, she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned up to whisper in his ear, her soft lips lightly brushing against him as she spoke. “I’m feeling energetic tonight...like I could do anything.” She breathed the word into his neck. “So, what do you say?”

“Not now, temptress,” Kaine growled without looking at her. “I’m busy.”

“Busy with what?” Eulalie persisted carefully. “Busy with that human? Oh, come now, Kaine. She’s nothing. I can give you whatever—you—want.” With each word, she walked her fingers up his chest until her hand rested against his collarbone.

“I said not now, Eulalie,” the demon fixed his crimson eyes on her in a warning glower. “I’m sure there are plenty of other monsters who would love to spend the night with you, but I’m busy.”

“Stubborn man,” the succubus muttered, disentangling herself from him and skulking away. She glanced back at the human girl who had captured her love’s interest, scowling bitterly. She’s not going to last one week here. If I have to, I’ll see to that myself.

Kaine followed Iliana with his eyes as she strutted away from him. She had intended to scare him, but somehow her threatening words only made him more eager to pursue the human. And I’ll find a way to do that… One way or another. He melted into the crowd as all of the monsters exited the tent, weaving through the river of bodies as he kept watch over Asha. Though he kept well away from her, he would not let her leave his sight. He was the hunter, and she was his prey.

Once outside the main tent, the creatures began to disperse to various, smaller tents where they would all sleep for the night. Kaine lingered behind, loitering by a tree while Taj and Flynn walked with the human. Originally, His plan was to see which tent they would take her to so he could make a visit later in the night, but it seemed he wouldn’t have to wait even that long. Soon after they stepped outside, Asha declared that she was going to explore on her own and left her monster guards behind. The demon smirked to himself, Poor little doe. She’s forgotten the safety of the herd, and now she’ll be food for the wolf.

Kaine trailed silently behind the girl, following her to the gnarled tree that she chose to sit down beneath. He waited in the shadows, watching as she lit and began smoking a joint, murmuring something to herself about cards. So far, it looked like she was really alone. No Taj and Flynn, and, more importantly, no Iliana. The demon had found his opportunity.

He stepped into the moonlight and approached Asha, his red irises luminescent in the dark of the night. “Some party, wasn’t it?” he smiled with deceitful friendliness. “You’re Asha, right? The new girl? I don’t believe we’ve met.” He sat down beside her, leaning back against the tree’s wide trunk, his Cheshire grin widening to reveal threatening, pointed fangs. “I’m Kaine.”

Reed’s got a girl over again. Leo rolled his eyes as he noticed the pair of high heels tossed idly by the front door. Considering it was only six in the morning, she was probably still there, too. I wonder if she’s someone I know. He was half tempted to take a quick peek in Reed’s room to find out, but quickly banished the thought. After all, there was no guarantee that his roommate and his latest partner were under their blankets, and Leo really didn’t want to scar himself first thing in the morning. Nope. Definitely a bad idea, he shook his head as he knelt down to slip on his running shoes, moving quietly so he wouldn’t wake the sleeping couple.

The app on his phone had predicted nice weather that morning, so Leo was taking the opportunity to go for an early morning jog before work. It was a difficult habit to keep up in the crowded city, since there were few places that were open enough to do a real workout, but he was committed. Also, there weren’t many other people crazy enough to wake up as early as he did to go for a run in the park. Most New Yorkers were creatures of the night, partying late and sleeping in. Leo used this to his advantage.

He crept silently out the front door and headed down the hallway, taking the stairs to the lobby for an added bit of exercise. Once he reached the front of the apartment complex, he broke into a light jog, making his way to Central Park where he ran on a short circuit for five miles. He had a pleasant time of it. The sunrise in the East, the slight breeze that cooled his skin, the friendly smiles of other crazy, early morning runners… It’s a good day today, Leo thought as he sat down to rest on a bench.

Feeling accomplished as he looked out over the park, he decided to send Ryder a text:

To: Ryder
_{Good morning! Just finished an 8 K. Wbu?}

Once he felt rested again, Leo made his way back to his apartment to get ready for work. When he got back, however, he found that the lights were still off, and his roommate and the mystery girl were still in bed. He sighed as he took his running shoes off by the door, Looks like I’ve gotta finish up quietly. He took a quick shower and changed into a gray suit for work, then checked his briefcase to make sure he had all of his supplies and headed out once again to the subway train that would take him to his job.

12:30PM

Leo yawned tiredly as he walked into the company break room. The think-tank he was apart of had just spent the entire morning going over a new project, and he was exhausted from sitting around for hours. Fortunately, he didn’t have to bother going out to eat on his break because the head of his department had provided sandwiches for everyone. He pulled up a chair at one of the empty tables, took a sandwich, and pulled out his phone, lazily scrolling through his social media updates. There was nothing interesting. Maybe there’s someone I can chat with. He opened his contact list and skimmed through the alphabetized names as he decided who to text. Involuntarily, his eyes lingered on one name in particular: Atsuko. If he was honest with himself, she was the one he wanted to send a “hello” to more than anyone else, but he forced himself to scroll on down the list. We don’t talk enough... I don’t want to seem like a total creep. So instead, he opened up a text conversation with another person:

To: Ida
_{Hey! When do you go on break? The boss bought us all food for lunch! :D}

Leo set his phone down and continued to munch on his sandwich as he waited for a reply.

Alright, so here's what I have. There were no pictures of women with short, thick, and unruly black hair that match your description, so I had to go with one that had a bit longer hair. Other than that, I hope she matches what you were looking for!

@ayzrules Love her so far! Just one question: Are you looking for an anime picture or a human photo?

I'll see what I can do about the scar. I've never tried editing a blemish onto skin before, but there's a first for everything, right? :)

As for one picture with a name and one without, I can most certainly do that! I'll make the banner as well (all banners have the character's names on them for identification)

I got bogged down with a few other things today, but I can accept your request tomorrow morning/afternoon!

Thanks for shopping~

LOL. I did an apartment roleplay not too long ago with an even larger cast and I nearly pulled my hair out, to be honest.

But I think I am becoming a better GM. I have three or four active roleplays so I must be doing something right. Right? >.>

Speaking of that, I need to update my bio.

@HushedWhispers

Oh...

Oh my god...

You are the real MVP



*tried to GM three RP's once and had a metaphorical stroke*

Growing Up In New York

@HushedWhispers Honestly same though xD
I admire you for taking on the task of GMing such a large RP though! I'd die if I tried to manage this many people

*polite claps*

You'll have to add Cameron, Ida, and Ryder in because they were put up after the sheet was. :}

@Love Dove

Okay, I'll do that!

Growing Up In New York

@HushedWhispers Are all of the characters on the relationship chart? I think there were a few names missing, but I also might just be crazy
