*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[chick-adee]

"But Nashton!" Taylor whined teasingly, following him,"You should cool every night because you love me so. Don't you agree?" She held open the door for him.
~~~~
"Oh really? It's not that much of a surprise to me. You can act much older than me sometimes. It makes me feel like a child." She scratched the back of her neck and looked up at him with a small smile,"You don't mind if I'm not quite as wise as you, do you? I hope you don't. I tend to get sidetracked easily... Is that a bad thing?" She pushed her glasses back up her nose, trying to focus on their present conversation,"As for research, I'm not exactly sure I'm the most qualified for the job. Research preformed on yourself always seems to get incorrect results because you effect the output. You wouldn't happen to know another person that's qualified for that type of work?"
~~~
Half an hour later, Aesacus was ready to go. His hair had been clipped down to a length that the hairdresser had deemed 'very appropriate for this time period'. Personally Aesacus found it rather odd, but he hadn't been out of this compound in twenty five years. Maybe things had changed since the early nineties. His extensive beard had also been trimmed down to nothingness. Poor beard. His clean-shaven face made him feel like a baby. Apparently Axel also found his change rather astonishing because when Aesacus arrived at his office, Axel gave him a small nod of approval,"Back to the twenty first century, I see. Thank you for not, you know, impaling your hairdresser or something of the like." Aesacus gave him a small nod, obviously not aware this was meant to be sarcasm,"I try not to kill people on weekdays. Weekdays already hard enough."

"You forget Taylor, I already cook every night for the alphas. Since Luce left with Jason, that's my job, now." Nashton reminded gently. He grinned at her as she opened the door for him. He liked that about her, she wasn't a traditionalist. "Thank you maam." He said with a cowboy like draw.
~~~
Orson twirled with everything he had. His mate was always doubting herself. He smiled as he turned his full attention upon his little Kristen. "I'm sure your credentials and qualifications for quite exemplary to work for Markus in his Menagerie. Why know do you think so less of your abilities? " he countered patiently.

(Sorry I've been off so long, it's been rough with Christmas and camp and everything)
"It couldn't hurt just to cook a liiiiitle bit more, could it?" She begged, but made sure to keep her joking attitude in check. Jokes involving Luce being gone were never his favorite. "Anything for you, sir." She tried to imitate the same drawl, but it didn't work out very well. When they both exited the building, Taylor walked alongside him.
~~~~
His twirl sent a happy shiver down her spine, but she wouldn't give in quite so easily,"Of course I'm qualified! I should've gotten a much better job than a handler. I graduated,with a double major in bio and statistical mathematics, and I got this close to getting my doctorate in bio." She held up a pair of pinched fingers. "But you know, my mom died and I didn't really have the will or the money to continue. I tried to track down my dad to see if he could help pay, but he had been gone for a while..." Her tone trailed off a bit. "But yeah. I'm not a doctor. I don't want to be fooling around with things I don't understand."

 

[StarrNico]

"If it's that simple I shall stand here, still for you." Aurienne smiled shyly at the man.

He nodded and smiled at her then gave her a shot to numb the area before taking the tracking chip out and closing the small cut. He added a band aid then smiled at her again as he crushed the chip "There you are, all done."

 

[StarrNico]

Fascinated, Zypher shifted ans walked over to where Anna's wolf form was. "This is amazing. It right out of a National Geographic." He said as he pulled a small Maglite off of his belt to shine around the darkened interior.
~~~
Gammr blinked a couple times, before moving to sit down and savor the delicious smelling tea. "I'm sorry about earlier. I'm not, well I mean, I don't get out much and that the first time I've seen a sight such as that." She explained in a humble voice.
~~~
Racine smiled softly at Sorcha's restraint. She was a remarkable female and it made him feel renewed in all ways. He turned and stepped towards the door. Unable to stop himself, he raised their joined hands to his lips so he could brush a delicate kiss upon her's. "Just a bit of a heads up, my Lords are up to something. They have been blocking my curious inquiries as to their silence since our return. " He murmured softly to her. A special light in his eyes of unabashed happiness.
~
Avalon watched Sorcha and Racine leave quietly. Once the doors were closed behind them, she turned to face Bardou. "I had offered Sorcha a position that is now in conflict with her new priorities. In light of our time theses past hours, I seem to feel compelled to offer queen Sorcha's previous position to you, Prince Bardou. Would you consider being personal advisor and confidant? I've come to value you opinion and council already. Only say yes, if that is what you truly want. I know you have just returned here yourself and probably if your own aspirations. But your earlier comment about entering into an apprenticeship, has given me pause to hope that you'll see this as a better fit for your unique life experiences." Avalon spoke with careful words. She'd strategically turned so that she was facing away from him now. She'd also closed her eyes to await his answer.

Spyro stood still as a statue by Avalon's throne starting out into the chambers.
~~~
Falkirk chuckled in Stars mind as HD answered her privately, " It seems in conflicted. Amelia offers exuberant abundance in personality. While Byron is controlled in both his thoughts, as well as his actions. Where Cora is reserved due to being quietly shy. A quandary indeed. But I'm thinking perhaps Amelia would be a good choice. What do you think?"

Markus waited for the right moment, when Shaylee looked inwardly, they'd make their move. Markus slowly shook his head, "That is true, but you'll never get out of here alive and you know it." He said with conviction.

Anna looked at him then shifted to her human form before chuckling "Want to be explorers then?" She asked before making her way into the cave like den
~~~
Fay smiled kindly "Such a sight as that has never been seen before by anyone but Artemis herself." She said then shrugged and looked around at the birds that now sang and flitted through the trees."We have been witness to an amazing thing today."
~~~
Sorcha smiled at that and looked to him "Oh? Did they find out about our marriage?" She asked curiously, that would explain them being secretive from their king. She chuckled softly and twirled softly to him once they were away from Avalon and on thier way.
~~~
Bardou was silent for a moment or two after she stopped talking. He was surprised by the offer. He came around to see her face before speaking "My queen, to take such a position would be a great honor, I am honored that you would even offer such to me." He said then smiled gently. "Yes, though I would like to check in on my descendants ever once in a while just to see how they are doing."
~~~
Starr chuckled softly again and looked to the kids while answering Falkirk "I wouldn't mind taking all three of them, though I also think if we bring Amelia, we would have to bring Byron to keep her inline" She was laughing to herself at her own thoughts.
~~~
Shaylee growled at that and stepped closer to him, tugging on the horn to try to get it away from him "You think that would stop me if it means taking you out with me?" She asked, focusing on him instead of her thoughts again

( You're fine. Real life first, remember? )
"Or we could start eating with the alphas again. Two birds, one stone and all that." Nashton suggested absently as he slipped his hands into his pockets and walked leisurely beside Taylor.
~~~
"You weren't 'Just' a handler. You were my handler. At the time, the lasts known Oilin in existence. Pretty significant, it you ask me. And I'm pretty biased where you're concerned, my heart." Orson said playfully.

 

[Run Wild]

He nodded and smiled at her then gave her a shot to numb the area before taking the tracking chip out and closing the small cut. He added a band aid then smiled at her again as he crushed the chip "There you are, all done."

"Thank you." Aurienne smiled softly at the kind stranger.

"Am I that transparent? Absolutely! I'm always up for an adventure. " Zypher said with marked excitement, as he hurried to catch up with Anna.
~~~
Gammr understood the significance of the witnessed sight. She was just having a hard time processing its reality. "I'm honored, I assure you. Who would have thought a lowly hades hound would bearing witness to Artemis life-giving." She said with awe.
~~~
Racine smiled savoring her lovely twirl and sounding one of his own. At her question, he dipped his head with his concluded speculations, "It would appear so. As to what they have planned, I have a bit of trepidation as to that end. They are battle hardened warriors with a lack of finesse in the gentler aspects of court edicts of ceremony. This should be a revelation. " He said with humor. They'd just made it out to the castle garden, when they saw Castiel standing in his best attire and armor waiting on them.

Castiel smiled as he saw them. He flared his wings wide and bowed down to take a knee. With his head still bowed he said with obvious pride, "Greetings my Queen Sorcha and King Racine!"

"And so it begins. " Racine whispered to Sorcha.
~~~
At the slightest rustling of Bardou's movements, Avalon blinked open her eyes to met his sincere gaze. "It is I who is honored. I still have much to atone for and your unquestionable loyalty after such atrocities, humbles me greatly. Just as you may take your leave whenever you so desire to go back and visit you family. But if you speak a word of what I just told you to another soul, emphatically deny it." Avalon straightened her posture ever so slightly to take on a regal stance. Her seemingly stern expression, dissolved into a smile as she looked back in Bardou's direction. It reflected a playfully mischief within it. Something that surprised even herself.

Spyro hid his silent amazement well. Whatever the reason this change, it was a welcomed one. He surmised to himself.
~~~
Falkirk shared her levity on the matter and rethought his reply once more. "Well point we'll taken, perhaps just Byron then. But alas, a group outing could prove to be quite fun. Shall we be greedy with the queen's hospitality and take all three with us? As you so eloquently suggested. I believe our silence is growing too long. It has stretched out to the point of being an awkward silence. They must suspect our indecision by now." He teased her privately.
~~~
As her attention was upon him and getting the horn, Pariah manifested behind Shaylee with a taser unit emitting 50, 000 volts to her. "Not likely, Princess! It is me taking you down!" She hissed angrily.

 

[StarrNico]

"Thank you." Aurienne smiled softly at the kind stranger.

"You are welcome." The doctor said cheerfully and waved to them. "Call if you need me for anything." He said and headed away

Anna chuckled and led the way in the cave. She wouldn't go far without him. She stopped when they reached the chamber and looked around at the relativly plain room.
~~~
Fay chuckled and nodded, staying silent so Garmr could adjust to this oddness. She sipped her tea and waited quietly.
~~~
Sorcha smiled at Castiel and dipped her head. "Greetings Castiel, you look all spiffy today." She said then smiled at Racine again. "This will be interesting. "
~~~
Bardou chuckled and bowed with a flair. "I am glad to be here with you now, your highness." He was glad that she was being playful again, even if only for a moment.
~~~
Star smiled and looked to the three again. "I rather like the thought of taking all three of them if they want to come."

The three looked to one another then chuckled and nodded. "That would be fun." Byron said for them.
~~~
Shaylee cried out at that and fell into the rising water around them. She was still conscious, but down for the moment.

 

[Run Wild]

"You are welcome." The doctor said cheerfully and waved to them. "Call if you need me for anything." He said and headed away

"I will." Aurienne said quietly, looking to Kyth as he left.

(Thanks for understanding!)
"Eh. We can if you want, but all they talk about it serious stuff. If you can't relax while you eat, when can you relax?" She strolled along beside him. "They can be a bit scary. Don't you think?"
~~~
Kristen laughed,"To me, it was just a crappy desk job where I got to interact with a cranky lab rat. It got better later on. Your presence changed me...if you know what I mean." She struggled for words to describe it,"Like even though you were a brat, somehow you made my day just a little bit better."
