*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

"At least Orson got a handler. What do I get? You? I get the ugly guy nobody likes because he's creepy? Great. Just great." She wasn't going to tell him but he was actually kinda cute. She paused for a moment looking around the cube,"Where's the bed? Or the bathroom? Or the food? Or water?" She asked confused.

Markus grinned sarcastically as he tisk, tisked. "Just a rule of etiquette, you shouldn't insult the owner of the house you are in. And definitely, not before you start making demands. So I say to you. Choose on corner for one and sleep in one of the other three. But if I was you, I'd keep to the center of the cube."

"WHAT?!?" She stared at him,"You're Markus? Like The Markus? You're creepier and younger than I imagined. You're also the reason why I had to put up with the Oilin and the human kissing constantly. That's reason enough to kill you. And you let Orson get away. You didn't even know that him and his handler were madly in love. Idiot. Plus who names their kid Markus? That's a stupid name!" She rambled on in shock.

"You have a right to time with your chosen one, just as I have a right to time with my daughter. It is finding the balance that is hard" Aurora said kindly. She did not blame Orson for wanting to have time to woo his intended.


~~~

Anna grinned at that statement "Oh, no, when they come this place will be destroyed and everyone set free. Keep your hope, I will keep mine. I will live and I will see my love again as well as my family" She said with certainty

"Yes, you are right Aurora. It's about balance. I was being greedy enjoying my time with Kristen, while others put their loved ones and themselves on the line. We must be a unified front and understanding the sacrifices that freedom requires." Orson stated with conviction.
~~~
Bertram sighed softly, he wanted to believe in such a bold statement. But he'd been locked up a long, so he'd become institutionalized. To the point of wanting freedom and acutely getting it, kinda scared him now. "Maybe, I'd just slow you down. Maybe, I should just block your exit." He said nervously.

Calystia watched out the window, keeping track of their route.
(Oh, what that man caught her and held her for random until Watson paid the fine. Idk, maybe that's just a stupid idea.)
~
Azure nodded in agreement.

Idris eyes went wide. "I took a hot shower after getting stiches! It stung but I tried to keep my hand away from the water. Will it be ok?"

(I'm still not sure what role, if any, he will play. I may shelf him for now. Too many irons in the fire. I'm really tired, very long day. )
Raymer decided to go to the coast. The natural saltwater might help Calystia heal.
~~~
Ashton reached threw the bars and started numbing the multiple wounds.
~~~
Sandor nodded slightly. "It's not really recommend. But being clean is better for the healing process in the future. Just as long as it wasn't submerged and you patted it dry thoroughly. You should be fine." He explained to her.

Kristen smiled sadly at him after he said he regretted the time he spent with her. Was she just getting in the way? Maybe he didn't want her. Maybe his job was too important and she wasn't. She struggled to keep smiling but she wanted to cry.
~~~
Aaran followed her through the portal and waited for the rest of the fey to follow.

Orson looked at Kristen, with deep understanding of her turbulent emotions. I could smell them, like an impending thunderstorm on the horizon." That is not what I ment, and deep down you know it. You are just reading into things, because you are doubting yourself and your importance. Have I not proven how much you mean to me already? But you are quick to throw it all away, the more your feelings are remotely hurt."He thought at Kristen.
~~~
Elina nodded to Thorn, before leading Aaran to Racine's war room.

Thorn started after them a moment, before he reluctantly followed.

Aurora sighed and looked to her daughter, holding the girl close to her side "No, you were not being greedy, we thought we could get in without that portal spell, but now it will be the only way we can rescue the others."

~~
"Block the exit?" Anna asked then looked to him and stood "No, you will do no such thing. We have people that can take you in, if this sort of life is what you want, they can help you get back to normal." She said then stalked forward "But mark my words, no one will stop me from getting to those I love. I prefer peace and harmony, but I was trained from birth to fight and that is no hardship for me either"

She rambled on in shock.

Markus whispered a spell to activate her collar. It slowly built up a charge and glowed brightly as it did so. "I can kill you from here, without even breaking a sweat. That charge when discharged, will pop your head off your shoulders." He said with quiet resolve in his voice. He was not in the best of humor, but she was quickly sparking his pent up hostilities.

Xavier came into the room and looked between the two. "Have I missed something? Why is the collar in death mode?" He asked curiously.

Markus just stared at Taylor, waiting for her next smart comment, so he could activate it.

I prefer peace and harmony, but I was trained from birth to fight and that is no hardship for me either" 

Orson nodded complete understanding. "Markus is a deception. He's nice one minute, next he'll go to rip your throat out. That man is very unstable and even worse, he's highly funded. A mad man with an endless supply of men and weapons. How do we fight someone like that?" He inquired curiously.
~~~
Bertram reclined on the floor. The took in her words and thought about his options. "Yes, I'll need help. I'm ruined, I'm an empty shell. I don't know how else to say it. But that is what it feels like inside." He explained further.

 

[NickyKnack]

(Goodnight everyone! I'm losing the battle of wakefulness.

)

"A mad man with an endless supply of men and weapons? That sounds like some of the men who would try for my eggs when I was young" Aurora commented then grinned as an idea formed "How do you depose a mad king? You incite a rebellion from the ground level. There are always more peasants than royalty after all"

~~~~
Anna nodded and sat again, watching him now. "You lost hope, hope keeps you strong no matter what you face. You were not born to this life of being caged, can you tell me about before this?"
