Child At Heart, Monster By Nature (A Shape Shifting RP)

[silkiecuddles]

Lyra understood his outlook on things, it made sense. "Would I prefer to go back and be a normal human, maybe. When Ryker took me it was the closet thing I had to a home and a family. While I don't like what became of it, I do not hate him for what he's done. He probably had a good reason for doing what he did, one that I won't try to understand. But I am happier here then I ever was in my previous years, far happier then when I was human. And I wouldn't be able to be here if I was human. So I suppose that is one good thing that came out of it." She said looking at him, she didn't want to sound crazy like she had been drinking the cool aid but it was truly how she saw it.

Zaine kept his eyes glued to a page in the sketchbook as he listened to her reply. He couldn't accuse her of negativity, that was for sure. "That's good," he said, smiling slightly. "Good that even after what you've gone through, you can still see the bright side of things. Do you mind me asking where you were before the labs?" He wasn't asking so much for her childhood life, but what her circumstances were beforehand. Many of the kids Ryker had had been orphans or in a foster system or other.

(I know, I'm sorry. It's exhausting having to constantly fix the add-ons and word substitution. By the time I get to the end of the sentence, I've lost my train of thought. So I have been using the type to text option. But then the (you) is changed to (she). The (he) to (you) and so on. So it's just determined to be difficult either way. What makes it worse is with my mild dyslexia, I'm not that great at spotting all the goof-ups until they are pointed out or until after I post. So in effect I'm fighting my brain and Technology. Yay! So that's just who I am, I've learned to accept it. Ironic I like rping. But then you guys have to put up with me. When I write a paper, two people have to proof read it for me. You should see the red it comes back with due to all the corrections. )

Ryker held tight to Amaryllis as if his very actions could hold her together as she fell apart emotionally. "Just let it out. Know that I feel your pain. " He whispered lovingly to her. When she hurt, he hurt in kind.

(Did you see this Nicky?)

Layla grinned, "I do indeed like spicy. Got a hidden stash huh?" She asked with a chuckle, you kind of had to in this house if you had a favorite snack food. She wondered in the back of her mind if Leverett was ok, she hadn't meant to leave him for so long. But he had told her to go and come back when she was herself again. Perhaps after she had shared some food with Vasper. She felt like he would be proud of her, for accepting help with her anger from Vasper and trying something new with fried pig skins.

Adrian smiled and stepped back letting her take over the cleaning. He leaned against the counter admiring the view. "I don't mind cleaning up, we always helped in my house growing up with the dishes. But hey I won't complain, I have a pretty nice view from where I am at now so, clean away." He said in a husky voice. He decided that seeing wasn't nearly as good as touching and he wanted to give her a taste of her own medicine. He walked up behind her and slid his arms around her waste and breathed out gently on her neck below her ear. "I am not being too distracting am i?" He asked quietly.

Saskia clapped her hands together excitedly, she loved getting into trouble. "Did you pick up enough of his scent to figure out which cell is his? If not I can put the old sniffer to the test and see if I can pick up an older lion scent, would be tough with you standing right next to me. But I should be able to pick up and older scent and distinguish between the two, because you know I am amazing. Lets go snooping!" She said with a grin as she swept her hand out down the hallway like she was showing Madison the way. She was glad she could cheer her up a bit after her loss of Dyrus, but maybe this male lion would be a better fit for her friend. Madison could be a bit, intense, and Dyrus had never really taken to her affections, so in a way she was happy that she had run into this Allen.

"Vasper nodded and said, " You practically have to. There's a bunch of thieving critters around here and no unprotected snacks are safe." He chuckled as they walked out of the gym into the hallway. He glanced to Layla curiously before asking. "You ever hear voices in your head?"
~~~
Willow purred as she pressed backwards into his warm embrace as she whispered mere inches from his lips. "No. Not at all. Are you trying to distract me?" She then moved away to wipe down the table with a dish cloth. She sent him a mischievous grin as she did so.
~~~
"You can do the honors of hunting him up. If my lioness scent gets in the way, then sniff for that Ashton's funkiness." She said with a wrinkled nose. "I don't envy you that test." Madison added with humor.

Andorra shook her head. "He's unconscious with the fever. I don't think he would even know we were there. Plus, what if we got in the way?" She said. She hated seeing anyone she knew hurting and not being able to help.

Priam sighed softly as he leaned forward, resting his forearm on the side of her bed. "I thought you were going to lose your hand because of me, maybe even your life. It's a miracle what happened, really, to make it otherwise. You were given some blood by Amaryllis. I'm not even sure how it worked, but it saved you. Alastor or Ryker can give you more details later if you ask, I'm sure."

"Ah." Allen sat down beside her and held out the bag, feeling inclined to be generous now. "Well, Missy, I can say it's mutual. I'm rather fond of your company, too. So here, take all the cashews you want." He grinned at her as he put a handful of trail mix in his mouth.

(Really enjoying Madison and Saskia dialogue about Allen XD)

Haley took the small potted plant from him. "To keep me company?" She chuckled softly as she turned it in her hand. "I thought that's what you were for," she said, smirking as she looked from him to the plant, as if comparing them.

Irine frowned and shook her head in confusion, but let her questions drop mostly. "We have the same blood type? Wow, that's a lucky break on my part." She said as she looked to Priam's forearm resting there. "So, hoe toxic are you? Will touch kill me" She asked worriedly as she continued to stare at his arm.
~~~
"Aw, Allen you're a peach. Thank you." Ashton said as she popped some trail mix in her mouth from her hand. She chewed quietly as she enjoyed his company. "I wish I could figure out how to run cable down her. That would make this place even better. " She stated offhandedly when she swallowed.
~~~
"Give me that! I was thinking a plant that look pretty and gives the gift of fresh oxygen, would add to the ambience of your room. But now, forget it." Dyrus informed with a humorous smirk as he set it back on the shelf. " Some people just can't have nice things." He said with barely masked amusement.

Donella nodded and dipped her head. "I guess, so maybe another day?" She didn't mind putting that off.

 

[NickyKnack]

(Where is Dimitri right now in terms of recovery? I'm impatient for some posts on him, can you tell )

(Oh, yes. Definitely need some paper towels to clean that drool up off the floor. Now look what happened, I slipped on your drool and fell. Good thing I'm laughing. I don't want Dimitri at full consciousness yet. I can have him wake briefly, but that's it. How's that?))

 

[NickyKnack]

( Ok, thanks. I missed it. )

Irine frowned and shook her head in confusion, but let her questions drop mostly. "We have the same blood type? Wow, that's a lucky break on my part." She said as she looked to Priam's forearm resting there. "So, how toxic are you? Will touch kill me?" She asked worriedly as she continued to stare at his arm.

"Aw, Allen you're a peach. Thank you." Ashton said as she popped some trail mix in her mouth from her hand. She chewed quietly as she enjoyed his company. "I wish I could figure out how to run cable down her. That would make this place even better. " She stated offhandedly when she swallowed.

"Give me that! I was thinking a plant that looks pretty and gives the gift of fresh oxygen, would add to the ambience of your room. But now, forget it." Dyrus informed with a humorous smirk as he set it back on the shelf. " Some people just can't have nice things." He said with barely masked amusement.

Priam nodded his agreement. "I'm not sure it has to do with blood type, but then, I didn't ask, nor do I know much about that stuff." Hearing her question, he immediately backed up, though it wasn't really necessary. "You wouldn't receive enough of the toxin in a single touch to die. There's always a small amount on the surface of my skin—thus long sleeves and gloves—but I can produce a lot more when in combat or under stress. It involuntarily happened in the gym."

Allen poured a handful and dug through it for a chocolate pieces. "Yeah, that would be swell. Maybe the opossum pal could be of help there." He frowned slightly when he realized what he'd said. "Except Gideon doesn't know about it, so you'd have to tell him then."
• • •
"You're saying I can't have nice things?" Haley raised an eyebrow as she looked to him. "Then I guess it's gonna be you over the plant." She moved on down the aisle to the checkout, a wide grin on her face that he wouldn't see.

Donella nodded and dipped her head. "I guess, so maybe another day?" She didn't mind putting that off.

Donella nodded and said, " Yeah. That will give him more time to get past his fever. Plus if his attacker is still at large, I don't want to give him more targets."
