BrokenTear
"Silly Brokentear, there's no need to add the Miss. I'm just Yuki, you make me sound like I'm older than you with the miss added along." Yuki whined, tugging on my cheeks. I widened my eyes at her touch just let her do it. Though I was a bit surprised that she touched my face considering most are afraid that their fingers will burn off or something. Even when I had first courted my late wife, she was a bit cautious at first.
Granted, I am partially a demon, so the hesitancy was understandable.
But my thoughts were interrupted by a poke in the belly button. I laughed an doubled over like I would've done with my daughter back when she was alive.
"You know, I believe it's now your turn, dear Brokentear," Yuki spoke, a hint of mischief in her voice. I waited for her to now, but oddly enough she didn't.
"Well if it's my turn, why haven't you caught me yet, my dear Yuki?" I grinned, but then realized I was trapped aside from the door I was slightly guarding.
Would it be worth it? To put Yuki's life in danger all for a silly game? I didn't want to run down there and end up having to search for a half-dead Yuki... I cringed at the thought.
"Well, I'm right here." I smirked, gesturing to myself with my arms out to my sides, "You could win quite easily right now." Though my urge to win was kicking myself in the arse for just letting her win.
Ethan
I found myself wandering again. Wandering around this castle. My sister's body was found in her bedroom now. Which I thought was strange considering I had thought that only one of us could be conscious at the same time. Maybe I was wrong. I shrugged and sat down on a wooden chair, reading through her diary entries. Really though, it wasn't so interesting considering I had heard her thoughts constantly while I was trapped.
I soon found myself back in the garden.
(Not much for Ethan at the moment, but that's because I'm leaving him for the new character Akane to interact with)
Forever
"Relax, I'm just moving us to the living room, I don't imagine it's comfortable, always standing around, and I don't want you fainting and hitting the floor on the off chance I've gone too far." Setsuna explained with a smirk. I couldn't help but flush even more. Too far? I wondered what he meant by that. Being as painfully shy as I am, just talking to him was too far. Hugging him was even worse. Or better. Yeah definitely better.
His smirk was so... sexy. Wait sexy? Where in the world did that word come from?! I felt myself becoming more attracted to him by the minute and I wasn't sure I really understood. But I allowed him to carry me to the sofa in the living room. He sat me down lightly and took a seat himself.
Unsure of what to say, I scooted towards him, trying to get closer but not too close. There was this strange dizziness that had made itself home in my head. Maybe it was from the blood constantly rushing to my face. >.<
I bit my lip under my mask and looked up at him. I looked at his lips. Pink and perfectly shaped and luscious. Oh how I wanted to kiss him. I just wanted so badly to press my lips against his. But my damn mask prevented that.
So I looked up at him and blinked, searching my mind for something, anything to say.
-----------------------------------------------
ACK! Sorry that this post kind of sucks. I'm on my phone and I haven't typed this much on my phone for a while. Anyway, sorry to do this to you Ally but I think I'm gonna switch the time period back to modern times. I get this feeling that this RP will prolly be better if we stick to it being modern. x-x but the mansion is still a castle and what not.
Also! We have a new member/character~ DemonsandAngels is here now with her character Akane. (:
Setsuna
This boy was absolutely adorable. The way he went from trying to explain to stammering to dying from embarrassment, he was absolutely adorable. Was it so bad that I wished he'd hugged me a little while longer? Surely there was no harm from that. I snapped away from my thoughts when his eyes filled with tears and rushed to comfort this absolutely adorable boy.
"Adorable boy~" I couldn't help but coo, holding his face in my hands and brushing his tears away, though his face never stopped looking like a tomato. I grinned confidently, feeling giddy at the affect I had on him. "Adorable boy, they don't matter. They're just a pack of idiots afraid of what they can't understand. And, rest assured, I don't plan to stop being nice to you, you're too cute to bully," I told him, completely unabashed by my blatant flirting.
Taking stock in the fact that we were still in the hallway, I picked an excuse to hold this boy again and picked him bridal style, a smirk pulling at my face from his startled yelp. I began to walk, and chuckled at his wide eyed look. There were a lot of reasons why that look should be banned.
"Relax, I'm just moving us to the living room, I don't imagine it's comfortable, always standing around, and I don't want you fainting and hitting the floor on the off chance I've gone too far." I teased, smirking down at him, and he seamed to sink in my arms in relaxation. Too cute~.
Yuki
After spending some time leading Brokentear on my game of tag, it seemed he'd had enough and so he cheated. There was a rushing sound ahead of me, and then there he was. Dazed and a little bit confused- I didn't know he could do that- I was forced to stop just in front of him.
He smelt a little panicked, and there was the smell of death and hate coming from behind him down a flight of stairs, which was curious, because I hadn't smelt that much hate and pain in one place since I'd left my old home.
I wanted to investigate, but I got distracted by Brokentear's smooth and laughing voice. "Tag, you're it, Miss Yuki." he said, teasing me slightly, and though I was pleased that I'd gotten a smile from him, the use of Miss bugged me. I wasn't that old, especially in this form. I ignored the fact that I was probably pouting adorably and tugged on his cheeks in childish reprimand. I was slightly surprised he actually let me, and they were softer than they appeared.
"Silly Brokentear, there's no need to add the Miss. I'm just Yuki, you make me sound like I'm older than you with the miss added along." I whined childishly, distracting him from what ever it was he'd been focused on. By the surprise on his face, I don't think he'd expected this. Good, I'd hate to be predictable. With a giggle, I gave his cheeks one last tug, reluctantly letting him go, and then poked him in the torso, giggling harder when I found his belly-button.
He playfully doubled over, like I'd done him pain, but I felt my eyes stray over the the stairs hidden from sight that held that unwelcomely-familiar smell. I wanted to ask, but I really felt that he wouldn't welcome the questions, so I turned my eyes back to him and grinned, a mischevious look enetering my eyes.
"You know, I believe it's now your turn, dear Brokentear," I hummed, though I made no move to leave.
Ethan
"Well, it seems we have even more company. Hello pretty-but-strange Ethan, I'm Yuki. This is Setsuna, Forever, and I'm sure you know Brokentear here, probably from watching through Erela?"
The shapeshifter was the first to speak. She seemed harmless to me, probably because of her small tween-like body.
I nodded in reply to her, then smiled, "Indeed." It was strange that she had picked up on the fact that I was only part of a person. But alas, it was bound to be found out.
I watched as Setsuna tensed up, only slightly, but I could see that I bothered him a bit. He and Yuki exchanged glances and expressions, like some sort of hidden conversation.
"You going to stay all the wat over there forever? Makes it kinda hard to include you in things." But he spoke. And I flinched a bit at his wanting to bring me in to their little group.
I took a step forward, but before my foot hit the ground I heard Yuki say something playfully to BrokenTear. Then in a flash, I felt her hands on my shoulders, crouched behind me.
I grinned as BrokenTear, a bemused expression on his smug face, approached me. He tried to get around me, but I played along, guarding Yuki by spreading my arms outward. I evaded his advances.
"I"m winning." A smirk played on my lips. Even if it was just a harmless game, I enjoyed overpowering BrokenTear.
BrokenTear
I was startled as Yuki poked me in the ribs and 'tagged' me. But seeing as how adorable she was, I decided to play along.
Yuki hid behind Ethan, and despite my efforts, he was triumphant in keeping her away from me. I could hear her giggling.
But then I managed to slip through Ethan's block. He was suprised but Yuki took off running as she realized I was close.
She sped down the hallways, coridor after coridor. Light on her feet. I could barely keep up. I didn't keep up. Infact, I was lost in my own home. She had gained much distance between us and I had no idea where she was.
The desire to catch her was starting to become more than a game to me. I just wanted to win. I needed to win.
So I cheated.
Being a transportation technique, I flitted myself to be in front of Yuki suddenly. Confused and startled, she just barely screeched to a halt in front of me. Our surroundings told me we were just a fleet of stairs away from being in the dungeon. Though not used anymore, I still didn't want her to ever go down there. I didn't want anyone to be down there. Haunted as the dark depths of my mind are, the dungeon was even more so inhabited. Dark spirits roamed there, within memories and torment of my past.
I didn't want Yuki to know that side of me. I shudded slightly but tried to regain myself as Yuki looked around, dazed.
Backed against a wall, I grinned at her. I tapped her on the shoulder and with a low chuckle, I spoke.
"Tag, you're it, Miss Yuki."
Forever
With Ethan, BrokenTear, and Yuki distracted, Setsuna answered my question.
"I just got here, and Yuki doesn't toy with feelings like happiness...I think. Anyways, why would we want to prank a pretty boy like you like that?"
Blood rushed to my cheeks. I blinked twice and bit my lip nervously.
Pretty? I'd never felt pretty, despite BrokenTear and Erela telling me so. I looked up at Setsuna. His metallic eyes fixed on me. I could feel my pulse accelerating with every second. I felt faint and light-headed, but in a way that I decided that I liked.
Finally, I brought myself to respond, "People outside of the castle were never particularly nice to me, so... I guess maybe it's just not what I'm used to." My voice was not familiar to myself. Though it could be that I was more wrapped up in emotion than usual. Considering I never really talked much anyway.
"I... uh..." I stammered, trying to find something, anything, to say. My heartrate seemed to quicken again-- something I thought to be impossible unless I was dying. Anxiety ravaged through my small frame. I felt weak.
Say something, dammit! I just wanted to speak, to tell him how I was feeling. How he was making me feel. But my lips were sewn shut.
So, feeling overwhelmed with emotion, I threw my arms around him. I hid my face in his collarbone. I didn't want him to see my tomato-red face. I hugged him ever-so-tightly and after a moment of taking him in-- his scent, his warmth, I painfully pulled away.
Averting my gaze to refuse the attraction to his, I felt tears well up in my eyes. My face was red-hot.
"S-Sorry." I stumbled over words.
My nervousness was killing me.
Yuki
I looked down at Forever when he asked if he was being pranked and felt sad. We were trying to make him feel a part of our wacky companionship and he felt like we were teasing him. I didn't get the chance to answer him when the sweetest scent I had ever smelt hit my nose, a mix of all things good and pure. I turned and looked at the boy that looked like a male version of who I now knew was Erela.
He introduced himself as Ethan, and though he seemed like a good guy, if annoying, I could easily see Setsuna's smirk in his, he didn't seem to particularly like Setsuna nor Brokentear. By how I could practically see Setsuna's wings going nuts under his shirt, I could tell that this angel- for I had finally figured out why this scent was so pure- at least put him on edge, of not completely on guard.
I seemed to be the first to regain myself. I grinned in a welcoming manner and spread my arms wide in a gesture of welcome. "Well, it seems we have even more company. Hello pretty-but-strange Ethan, I'm Yuki. This-" I pointed first to Setsuna, then Forever, then gestured to Brokentear-"is Setsuna, Forever, and I'm sure you know Brokentear here, probably from watching through Erela?" I introduced, dropping my hands to clasp harmlessly behind my back.
Ethan smirked when I deduced he knew Brokentear, though he at least inclined his head to Setsuna and Forever. I smiled at all of them, then felt it drop when a thought not my own echo in my head. Mini Yuki... I scowled at Setsuna, who grinned sheepishly at me in return.
Setsuna
I knew the Angel would be joining us soon, but I didn't realize how much his presence would affect me. My wings were going nuts trying to extend themselves even though I didn't want to fly, and my skin felt 2 sizes too tight. I didn't show this though, just mirrored the smirk he had back at him. I remembered Forever's question and gently pulled the smaller boy to his feet,smiling confidently back at him.
"I just got here, and Yuki doesn't toy with feelings like happiness...I think. Anyways, why would we want to prank a pretty boy like you like that?" I chuckled, chuckling even more when I thought of Yuki. She wasn't really Yuki right now, more like mini Yuki. At that thought, Yuki scowled down at me and I cursed in my head, her telepathy thing must have kicked in.
I turned to look at Ethan again and nodded towards where we were crowded. "You going to stay all the wat over there forever? Makes it kinda hard to include you in things," I called, and in the few seconds I had been turned away, Yuki seemed to have had an idea to relieve the tension, and with that thought in mind, she turned and poked Brokentear in the ribs on both sides. I don't think he was expecting that with the way he jumped alittle.
"Tag, you're it," she giggled, then took off down the hall to hide behind Ethan like the little kid she was physically. I think she was having too much fun, playing on the fact that everyone thought her several years younger than she was.
Forever
My face was as red as a tomato being discovered by Yuki. Not convinced by her words of coaxing, I crouched down and peered from around the corner. No no no. I was not moving from this spot! Not while that attractive Fallen Angel was out there. I refused to humiliate myself in front of him. I flipped my hair in front of my face and bit my bottom lip.
A gasp and squeal escaped my lips as I felt myself being swooped up. My eyes widened in surprise as I noticed who it was carrying me. My heart stopped for a least two minutes. >///<
"Got you now, princess." He chuckled in an alluring way. Alluring to me, at least. Princess? where the hell did that come from? But I did end up feeling like a princess. He escorted me to Yuki and BrokenTear and just held me for a moment while he seemed to notice something. I didn't want to be an interruption so I kept silent as I enjoyed being in his arms. Trying to be discreet and like it was unintentional, I nuzzled into his chest, enjoying the warmth.
But I was stolen from him by Yuki as she pulled me from him and hid behind me though she was a tad taller than me.
"He's mine now!" She stated loudly and blushing I couldn't help but laugh. It was slightly flattering, actually.
I stood between the two as they bickered over me. Not used to the attention, I squealed and hid my mouth with the sleeve of my oversized sweater though there was no need-- my mask did that job for me.
"This damsel is in DISTRESS!" I exclaimed, overwhelmed as I hid my blushing face. I plopped down on the floor with my knees together and looked up at the two.
"Well... N-not actually distress but... oh dear." I felt exhausted now for some reason and I blinked in confusion. I looked at BrokenTear.
"Am I being... pranked?" I asked impishly, "I don't believe I'm being fought over."
BrokenTear
Yuki explained that this new guy, Setsuna as he had introduced himself to me, was a childhood friend of her. I felt as if there was something strange happening at the very moment. But whatever it was remained unknown to me. It was this odd feeling I had-- a feeling of possession. Over who, though? Unclear as it was, I shrugged it off. It was in my blood and instinct to protect the inhabitants of this castle, no matter if I claimed them or not.
Being lost in thought, I had zoned out while Yuki and Setsuna had brought out Forever from his hiding spot. I smiled. The little wolf boy, although very embarrassed, seemed to be happy for the first time since the loss of our 'family'. After that battle, Forever had become even more so introverted than he was after I found him. After being just... tossed and left to die in the forest, bleeding and violated, he was bound to have some issues.
But, here he was smiling and I had a good feeling in my being about the two new outcasts.
I was about to answer Forever when an Angel, familiar but not recognizable, entered the hallway.
Ethan
Having frolicked through the flowers enough, I decided to explore the castle. With a flower between my fingers, I twirled it and heard the sound of laughter and I smelled the scent of hell heavily. To make my presence known, I stepped into the hallway. BrokenTear being the only one I actually recognized, stopped and stared at me and soon the others followed. The tension in the room seemed to elevate a lot from the fun that was had here a moment ago.
"Hello everyone." I smiled cheerfully, attempting to be friendly though that damned Fallen Angel and BrokenTear's mere presence was burning my skin with a white-hot sensation.
"I'm Ethan. The twin brother of the maid, Erela." Blank stares were the only response, "she's asleep right now so I let myself in. I hope you don't mind." I spoke and tilted my head to the side with a smirk.
