Lies, Misunderstandings and Sad , Sad People

[[Warning. Please excuse the typos. All taken from a log of rping in Toxian City. Long entry as well.]]

Trying not to regret doing things. Trying not to keep running away. Trying not to withdraw completely. Was a standard warning and Neri responses out of habit and once there, immediately regretted it. The Shadows were outside, more gathering by the minutes once she'd arrived. They were bored and tormenting some of the coven females. All strangers to me..but her family name..Family...Are they truly family?, she thinks to herself. Listening to them, watching them from the other side of the group, and then that's when they turn their attention towards her.
Picket McDonnell giggles and claps "Oh look there is that slut Nerissa! I heard she fucks anyone... Hey alz why don't you go see if she'll blow you"
Christene Seelowe: now run along children
Alzreal Razor laughs "now now, even spineless invertabrits will defend themselves....these are worse then at"
Krismorel Nishi blinks at the words
Ares Mizin: okay, what's the deal Blue? What's everyone doing here? Blueray Darkes: We're bored
Ares Mizin: Did I miss a party invite?
Ares Mizin: Oh, well shoot, why didn't you say so!
Blueray Darkes: GROM BRING THE BEER
Krismorel Nishi snickers "people invite you to parties?"
Christene Seelowe: well if I felt the leawst bit threatened maybe I would defend myself
Picket McDonnell: Wewt block party!
Selene Hudson: ok here we go
Selene Hudson: race ya
Selene Hudson: i
Bun Barnes: ok
Selene Hudson: one
Its then that she decides to move, Nerissa dips her head down and moves foward, every intention of pushing through anyone in her way. Krismorel Nishi joins Picket dancing in the street
Ares Mizin: Pfffttt, who's up for party at the beach?
Belladonna Arbizu walks up behind the massive group, gently humming and chewing on a small bit of chocolate as was her trademark. She looked about strangely at the gathered group - noting the blue haired daemon she had met before "Rawr?" she exclaimed in an inquisitive manner.
Ares Mizin: Hoooo!
Dante Dodonpa gets a bit bored and darts in and out of the crowd
Blueray Darkes: *HOWL!!!*
Alzreal Razor laughs "sure you would...." he looks over to nerissa and waves a few dollas in the air
Blueray Darkes: Its party Thursday, break out the cold ones already
Ares Mizin walks up and puts her hand out for a beer, share bish!"
Blueray Darkes: Grom has beer
Nerissa snerks and spits on the ground before she turns away and walks in, leaving behind a frozen glaze on the ground. She'd had enough, every muscle in her body taunt and making her tremble from it before long. But, no matter how far she goes, she can still hear them and their ugly words. It always brings up the last conversation she'd had with Vulcan, "Never trust /anyone/, Nerissa. Not even your closest friend." And now she sits and sighs, shoving her hands into her hair with a tight grip, head lowered to hide her painted face and the strain on it to control herself and emotions that are just too strong sometimes. Picket McDonnell shouts back "Nerissa! You have a customer... and look he is willing to pay five times what you usually charge! a whole six bucks!"
Ares Mizin glances at grom, then holds her hands out in front of her, "I'm open! Toss me a beer!"
Krismorel Nishi glares at ares
Alzreal Razor shrugs and puts the cash back in his pocket..."Maybe i should have just asked for a freebie first?"
Krismorel Nishi clears her throat "have we not had this conversation?
Belladonna Arbizu shrugs as no one really pays attention to her and walks up the stairs to go inside.
Christene Seelowe: Bella ... sister why dont you come inside
"Sorry Sister. Didn't mean to push you out of the way." She looks at the door and draws her fangs out with a growl of annoyance. "Go suck on Jan, Bitch."
Dante Dodonpa kartwheels back over to Kris...tugging at her leg for attention
Blueray Darkes: Father doesn't like boys
Picket McDonnell: I'm sure she'd give it... she has done half the city from what I hear...
Nerissa flinches and shifts as soon as her body reacts to the words, trying to cover its effects. All she can think of is 'If I'm sleeping or fuckin' half the city, then why am I always on my own. Why am I always curled up somewhere alone.'
Ares Mizin puts up a hand to stop her
Nerissa shakes her head and turns, walking away from them.
Belladonna Arbizu smiles and nods, her cheek bulged out by a bit of chocolate she had stashed in her mouth "Okies"
Dante Dodonpa coo's and gurgles, beginning to vibrate
Grom Prevost glanced towards Ares with a bit of a confused look, then shrugs and starighets himself.

By now, she manages to make it to the back room, collapsing to the floor where she sits with a silent grunt. Cross legged, hands draped in her lap, she lets her head hang down so hair hides her pale face, the black lines criss crossing horizontally and vertically looking stark against her features. The glowing blue eyes are brighter with unshed tears and she fights not to let them fall. Everything she'd heard out of their mouths making her want to weep with frustration. She finds herself regretting coming back to Toxian City. Worrying if it was a mistake asking Arcann for a small corner of the Circle. Choi Zhangsun comes in, " Neri? "
"What do you want?.." she asks in a dead tone. Not even bothering to draw her head up long enough to look over at her.
Choi Zhangsun: Just want to see if you're OK.. if I can help. I dunno why those guys are picking on you but, it hardly seems necesary.
Alzreal Razor shouts "Wet t-shirt contest at the coven base!"
Nerissa shrugs as she hides her face. "I'm a joke to them. Weak because of what I'd rather do...then be like them." she says. "Rumors ... I don't know why I come back.."
Choi Zhangsun straightens her skirt and looks around a bit before looking back at Neri, "I haven't heard any rumors, but if it helps, I know how ti feels to be the target of their less than inventive insults. I don't really come around often myself, Shadows standing around hurling insults at you constantly gets old.."
Nerissa just shakes her head a little, unable to bring her face up. "Look..I appreciate what yer doin'..but yer wastin' yer time. I'm not worth the bother.."
Choi Zhangsun smiles a little, "Heard that before too, and like the awful words we both hear, I doubt that's really true either. But, I won't pester you. Just know, if you ever need a friendly ear, or someone willing to bust a cap in their asses, look me up." Nerissa slowly gives a weak nod against her arm while pulling her tail around her defensively, each breath a little shaky for a few minutes. "Yeah..thanks.." she murmurs.
Choi Zhangsun hears the quaver in Neri's voice and frowns. She sits quietly for a moment, then picks herself off the floor, kneels by Neri and rubs her back lightly and briefly before standing and heading out front.
Nala Seelowe pauses and smlles
Choi Zhangsun: Oh hi Nala.
Nala Seelowe: Hello Choi
Choi Zhangsun: How are you?
Nala Seelowe: Very well, thank you. How are you?
Nala Seelowe: Cute dress
Choi Zhangsun: Oh, ok, I heard the usual Shadow ruckus so I came to see if the shop needed defending. The others say there's nothing major though. And thanks!
Nala Seelowe nods, "Yes I saw them out there and came to see what happened."
Choi Zhangsun glances at Neri briefly, "Yeah, they're being their usual asshole selves."
Nala Seelowe nods, "Oh I know that one all to well." sighs, hugging her arms around her.. The memories still fresh.
Choi Zhangsun: Yeah.. It's gotten so I don't even want to be here anymore.
Nala Seelowe: I think I have to agree with you. the violence as tripled since i've been here
Choi Zhangsun nods, "It's not even the violence though, they've resorted to insulting everyone they come across. It wouldn't be so bad if they were at all creative about it but..Meh."
Nala Seelowe smirks some, "Yes, i think they've become school yard bullies." shurgs, "Oh well"
Choi Zhangsun: Well, it's all they know how to do. I feel bad for them in a way, being so unintelligent they can't think of anything else to do.
Choi Zhangsun grins.
Nerissa rises from the floor with a slack pale face under the painted strips.
Choi Zhangsun sighs as she watches Neri leave.
Christene Seelowe: hey blue if I give you some vodak will you go away?
Nala Seelowe laughs softly, "So true that is. Maybe I can go find them a book on how to be more creative."
Picket McDonnell laughs "Anyway I don't need to have a reason to want her dead... even though I do have one. I am a totally evil shadow. Didn't anyone tell you?" makes a grrr face
Blueray Darkes: Vodka?
Christene Seelowe: and take your uglu frirnd with you
Nala Seelowe: Is she ok to leave?
Christene Seelowe: yes
Ares Mizin looks at Picket, "Well, looks like she's a sister now, so you'll have to go through me!" She laughs, "So I definitely get to molest you now!"
Sinco Bing: GIVE ME!
Blueray Darkes: My family is sexy
Sinco Bing: where is it!!!
Flash Gottesmann: hey blue if i give you some vodka will you come show me a good time?
Choi Zhangsun giggles, "That woudl require them walking into the library, they might have a seizure from all the knowledge. I think so, they weren't physically abusive but.. I better go check."
Picket McDonnell: That's hot! But I'm still gonna get her skanky ass.
raina Acker: they cant stay forever soon or later they will leave
Blueray Darkes blanches at him, "I'm not a hamburger
Sinco Bing: hah trading body for vodaka
Ares Mizin looks at Blue, "You're just jealous becuase everyone knows the coven ahs the hotties!!"
Ares Mizin: *has
Blueray Darkes: Bite me
Sinco Bing: blue i trade you my body for yours
Picket McDonnell: Oooh seriously... you should bite her.
Christene Seelowe: I believe that id Alz job
Blueray Darkes: I like my body damn it
Choi Zhangsun goes to wakl outside but is distracted by the bubbles.
Sinco Bing: i didet mean lettery
Blueray Darkes: Hahaha
Sinco Bing: was talking behinde closed doors kind
Blueray Darkes: .... Sigh
Picket McDonnell: Why is that thing pointing it's gun at me?
Ares Mizin looks at Alz, "Don't make me get my poking stick!"
Flash Gottesmann: aww dont sigh
Alzreal Razor holds his nose "whew...smells like nasty vag here..." he sees choi and smiles "Oh hey there choi!"
Picket McDonnell: Didn't anyone ever tell you it is rude to point guns at people?
Ares Mizin snickers
Blueray Darkes hisses in a bad mood, "I'm done here".
Ares Mizin: ((who's got the gun out?))
Sinco Bing: blue!
Flash Gottesmann: yeah that reminds me of something my father said right before he died
Christene Seelowe: come back when you cant stay so long
Flash Gottesmann: "dont son that gun is loaded!"
Choi Zhangsun pokes Neri, "See what I mean? Completely uncreative."
Ares Mizin pokes a finger at Flash, "Oi! Get out of here with that thing. We don't allow pulse rifles this close to the shop. Put it away or get lost!"
Picket McDonnell giggles to alz "Look... babe... Choi is at it again... her mission must be to save tox one skank at a time... looks like neri is up first"
Ares Mizin growls, "My books are in there. Shit! My SHOES are in there!!!"
Christene Seelowe reaches ove and poke at Alz
Flash Gottesmann puts his gun away and manages to look bashful behind his mask
[2008/06/19 20:44] Alzreal Razor hold his hand up to his ear "Hm, i thnk i hear someone calling choi...it soulds like....barking!"
Christene Seelowe: ok tall dark and grusome take off
Vishous Nightfire raises an eye at Picket as she walks up
Ares Mizin smiles, "That's better, thank you honney"
Nerissa doesn't respond to Choi, standing with herself leaning against the counter.
Flash Gottesmann: aight ladies have a fine evening and if you see bella anytime soon tell her i miss her
Alzreal Razor laughs "Damn, thats alot of skankiness to work out of her..."
Ares Mizin: Okay Picket, you said you'd move across the street. Lets go....
Nala Seelowe: Okay Flash
Picket McDonnell: I'll move but that'll just start me shouting
Ares Mizin: Okay Alz, you too, lets go!
Ares Mizin waves a dollar bill
Picket McDonnell shouts "Nerissa, as soon as you get off your knees long enough I have something to tell you!":
Alzreal Razor laughs "Oh, i never agreed to that deal...ive found myself a nice seat here..."
Ares Mizin pouts out her lip, "What if I say please?"
Christene Seelowe: there now move
Alzreal Razor laughs and shouts back "Dont you know picket...its not nice for her to try to taklk with her mouth full"
Nala Seelowe: They are only over here because of the cease fire with the Ryders
raina Acker: only girls in the coven ^^
raina Acker: do we have male suport inthe group
raina Acker: ??
Christene Seelowe: yes dear
Nala Seelowe: Yes we do
raina Acker: i have only see girls ^^
Ares Mizin starts to tickle Alz mercilessly, "Move it sexy!!"
Alzreal Razor looks down at the red head stone faced and emotionless
Picket McDonnell tosses Ares some bandages "Better keep an eye on nerissa... I hear she is a cutter"
Choi Zhangsun crosses her arms, "These ladies asked you quite nicely to leave their shop."
Ares Mizin laughs, "That's blood magic honney, usefull!"
Alzreal Razor snickers "I wish me lawn my was like Nerissa...that way it would cut itself!"
Picket McDonnell: Oh look it is choi sticking her nose in everyones buisness... how shocking!
Nala Seelowe: Oh that'sso original
Choi Zhangsun: Oh look, it's Picket and Alz sounding exactly like a broken record and coming up with absolutely nothing creative.
Christene Seelowe: Oh they are nothing if not mundane

Alzreal Razor smirks at choi "So i heard you made knight...finally managed to sleep your way up the ladder huh?"
Ares Mizin: Be nice! Choi is here for the sleepover. I'f you're good, we may invite you next time!"
Picket McDonnell grins "Oh and that was creative? Love I have seen a four year old come up with better material then that"
Nala Seelowe notes to self to get the Shadows a gift of creative school yard comeback
Choi Zhangsun: Yeah Alz, I succeeded where you failed. Go me.
Ares Mizin rolls her eyes, "Okay, enough you guys, you're killing my buzz."
Picket McDonnell giggles "He can't take it as far up the ass as you can... or your husband can... nice pics of him by the way. I loved how you had your strapon jammed up there"
Christene Seelowe having a hard time staying awake with all the witty reparte
Alzreal Razor laughs "what made you think i wanted to move up? io was only there to gather information before i left that pathetic grou"
Choi Zhangsun: Wow, again, repeating the same boring insults.
Christene Seelowe yawns
Choi Zhangsun: Tell you what, why don't you two go put your brains together and come up with something original and THEN come back and pick on me and try to make me cry.
Ares Mizin: Okay, Alz, I got stuff to do. Seriously, time to go. We'll party later!!"
Alzreal Razor smiles "Im not causing any harm here..."
Christene Seelowe: go ahead Ares
Christene Seelowe: nothing here to worry about
Picket McDonnell grins "Maybe we will get better when you give us more to work with... I mean it is true that you only got where you are because of jon... and it is true that you are a nosey bitch but there isn't a lot of substance to you.. I mean whine whine I have got to save every sorry skank on the planet just cause it gets me attention is so tiring... babe.. get a life and a personality and stop being so damn need"
Picket McDonnell: *needy
Ares Mizin: nite all
Nala Seelowe: Night
Alzreal Razor smirks "remember when i told the shadows to cut off her ears cause i knew it would fuck her up good...that was a god idea i had huh love?"
Picket McDonnell laughs and nods "And it totally worked"
Choi Zhangsun looks confused, "So what if I did get where I am in the group because of Jon? At least then I know I chose wisely. And since when has helping people been an attention-getting device? Now you're grasping for straws Picket, try again."
Alzreal Razor: /smirks "To think....i actually had them all believe i cared about them" he laughs
icket McDonnell giggles "Oh choi hun you know it is true... if you REALLY wanted to help people you wouldn't get in the way and alway make things worse by flaping your mouth off. You are an attention whore and EVERYONE knows it."
Christene Seelowe: well as sintalating as this is I have work to do inside
Choi Zhangsun: Again, Alz, you're boring me. Now, these very nice ladies have asked you to get going, please respect their wishes.
Christene Seelowe: come sisters
Yes I think there is some cleaning
Nala Seelowe: Hello
Choi Zhangsun: Oh hey Denny, just some general assholery, nothing new.
Hearing that name spoken, she couldn't help but stop breathing, actually trying to listen to what's being said. There was one person she had not expected to come down but when there's trouble, there's always an Omegan near bye. Listening, recording, observing...and for a long time..she was one of them. She sighs and rubs her face, up around her horns, as she feels the room spinning.
Christene Seelowe: Raina join us
Christene Seelowe: inside
Choi Zhangsun: Well, these nice ladies have asked Picket and Alz to clear out, and they don't seem inclined to. Shocking, I know, and now they're trying to hurt my feelings with boring insults.
Nala Seelowe: me sits on the rug and chill, watching Ner carefully
Christene Seelowe: well that went well
Choi Zhangsun grins at Denny, "I'm sure, but I appreciate the compliment."
Nala Seelowe: Its nice to see you again Christene
Christene Seelowe: Nice to see you
Nerissa hasn't said a word for some time now, the lack of anything showing on her face making it hard what it is she's thinking about.
Christene Seelowe: Nerissa is all well ?
raina Acker: why dont you tell choi to come inside?? she need some support
Nala Seelowe: She hasn't said anything since i've been here
Choi Zhangsun tilts an ear behind her, catching the conversation, "I'm fine guys, it's OK."
Christene Seelowe: I will check on her sister
Christene Seelowe: if you are tried of this Choi you may join us inside
Choi Zhangsun points a thumb at Alz, "He's still on teir steps, and I'm not the one who asked them to leave, the ones who live here did, I'm just giving them a hand."
hoi Zhangsun smiles at Christene, "I'm all right, these guys can't hurt me."
Christene Seelowe shouts: NO but they might bore you to death
Christene Seelowe: Ok give me a sec to prepair a report
Nala Seelowe pulls a few well tucked away bobby pins from her hair. Placing them on the pillow next to her. She re-pins her hairs so it appears short, looking to Raina she speaks. "How are you tonight?"
Choi Zhangsun waves at Dev and Miho, "Hey guys, just having a friendly conversation with these two." She turns to Denny, "I was out walking and noticed some trouble with Nerissa so I stopped to see if she was OK since, the awful mean words from these two were breaking her spirit. The Coven ladies asked them to leave, they refused, blah blah blah."
raina Acker: if i have a weapon i would kick their asses out of here
Christene Seelowe: no dear that is just what they want
Nala Seelowe: Yes it is
raina Acker: yeah you are right so stay calm
Choi Zhangsun: Again, blah blah blah.
raina Acker: ^^
Choi Zhangsun: Do I know you?
Nala Seelowe: Its best to ignore them or kill them wiht kindness
Nala Seelowe: with*
raina Acker: hahaha thats true
Choi Zhangsun: Which one would that be Dev?
Nala Seelowe: Plus they are only here cause they can't pick on the Ryders
Choi Zhangsun: I think you need to mind your own business kid.
raina Acker: if choi stay outside they wont never leve cuz all they want is hurt her

The strain gets to her, Nerissa's body taunt with so many emotions, her stomach twisting and knotted up. She lays her hand over her belly and rubs absently with a frown, pale face staring off after escaping upstairs. Just trying to escape what's going on outside as the voices follows her, and a few of the coven women...
Rosuto Kanami: sighs alreaight then
Nala Seelowe: We aren't aloud up here
Rosuto Kanami: liek it really matters tho whats gonna be said will be said
Choi Zhangsun: Not if I'm ignoring you.
Nala Seelowe: Unless another brings us up here
Rosuto Kanami: lol it still will be said dumb ass
Siannah Ihnen: i'm sorry i was just looking, and the door was open
She sighs, looking over at the unfamiliar woman briefly, but Nerissa is still stone silent.
Denenthorn Masukami turns to Choi still holding the hourglass towards Picket "Choi can you run along to the church, I'd be happy to handle this"
Nala Seelowe: Its ok this is a private area
Siannah Ihnen: i am new and unfamiliar
Rosuto Kanami: u know dev i dont see where i began talkin to yoru dumb ass
Nala Seelowe: Its ok
Nerissa turns from the window and stops moving as she looks at Nala and then the one unfamiliar to her. Her body shudders as she fights to control shaking limbs and starts to pace.
Siannah Ihnen: i can leave if i must
Siannah Ihnen: but can you tell me where i am?
Nala Seelowe: I was allso speaking to The other up here also
Nala Seelowe: YOu are in the vodoo shop
Siannah Ihnen: i am sorry if i am intruding or trespassing
Nala Seelowe: Sisters come on you are going to get in trouble being up here
Christene Seelowe: Nerissa .... what is worng
Nala Seelowe: Its ok miss
Nala Seelowe: Blessed be
Siannah Ihnen: what is this place?
Siannah Ihnen: the shop
Siannah Ihnen: i'm not that much of a neophyte
Siannah Ihnen tries to take in the information
Siannah Ihnen: so when you say mystic ...
Siannah Ihnen: do you mean magical?
Siannah Ihnen looks on wide eyed
Siannah Ihnen: wow, there is no magic where I am from
Siannah Ihnen: just science and facts
Siannah Ihnen: thankyou
Nala Seelowe: So there was no magic where you came from?
Siannah Ihnen: none at all
Siannah Ihnen: i suppose you could say some of the science was like magic
Nala Seelowe: intresting
Siannah Ihnen: to the uninitiated
Siannah Ihnen takes out her notebook and pen
Siannah Ihnen: i hope you don't mind if I take notes
Siannah Ihnen: you see i'm writing a book
Nala Seelowe: Well we do have books you could look at in the shopp
Nala Seelowe: ok
Christene Seelowe: let me check out front
Nala Seelowe: Thanks sister
Christene Seelowe: all clear
Christene Seelowe: Nerissa?
Nerissa leans against the door with her arms behind her to cushion her tailbone.
Grom Prevost is as well as he kicks a few pebbles from the street.
Denenthorn Masukami smiles darkly "Why don't you go find a kitty cat to torture..."
Nerissa glances up at a familiar voice and turns her face down again to look away from the street infront of the shoppe, at the few there gathered outside still. She can't remember how long she stood there before finally able to escape, all Shadows gone, a couple of her Sister's talking together. So, she slips out and soon enough finds herself in her lover's arms, the Nephilim that refused to let her go even when she tried to turn both him and the Angel she loved as well...Now, he is all she has to go to. To hold her when she wants nothing more then to give up and die, talking to her to pull her from the Abyss she so frequently slips into...Here, she finally slips into a dreamless sleep, in his strong warm embrace that tries to chase away the perpetual cold of her small form now limp in his arms. Here, the broken little demon slips into another place of twisted dreams, until nothing but a beating heart to show she still lives as he tucks her up against his body and protects her in her troubled sleep.
