Fantasy ABC's of Blep

[littleberry]

Dante: "good to hear. Friends.. good ones at least... are hard to find..." his eyes shift to Melody and he makes eye contact, the colors of his iris seeming to swirl because of the Hypnotic Gaze. "Climb out of the water..."

Ovia sighs and tries to lift her head up to look at Snow, but is stopped as Lorelai refuses to move her hand. "Snow, sorry to say it, but I think you're right. Not even going to sugarcoat it.", she deadpans in mental exhaustion.

Lorelai giggles in amusement, "Yes I believe this will be a wonderful friendship indeed, Melody darling."

Ovia groans in despair.

"Shush dear."

Melody: "Uh oh..." Her eyes catch Dante's and Melody pulls herself from the water on her arms, sitting on the edge, her hair covering her chest classic mermaid style and her tail swishing around. "Damn my attraction to men..." With her tail still in the water she had her siren song available and started singing softly to the attractive male who caught her attention.

Snow: "Um... Dante what are you doing? Lux? Lux what is he doing???"

"Damn my attraction to men..." With her tail still in the water she had her siren song available and started singing softly to the attractive male who caught her attention.

Snow: "Um... Dante what are you doing? Lux? Lux what is he doing???"

Lux: hypnotic gaze... allows him to influence and control people that find him attractive as long as he can hold eye contact. Of course... it's more powerful when I get an eyeful too!!" He licks his lips at the view now on display.

Dante: Starts to sway a little as the song takes effect. "Come forward out of the water completely......" From the sweat on his forehead, its obvious he could not resist if it weren't for the Perve Battery. Even still, he could only hope to resist for a very short time...

((god it's an epic battle of willpower and attractive mind control 0.0))

Melody: Her eyes hooked on his watching him as he sways and she sings louder, but yet her voice still caressingly soft to the ears of her prey. And this meddling idiot would be her victim if only she could look away... She turned slowly, pulling herself painstakingly slow out of of the water, only her naturally limited movement on land since she only had hands to work with and her long tail was saving her. Who would win? If she got out of the water her song would start to loose power as she dried... and then this bastard would win. Damn him.

Snow: "Bu..but why is he using it on Melody? Oh my gosh does he like her?!" Looks at Lux worriedly. "But Dante seemed so sane!"

 

[Celeste-Ominous]

Lorelai glares at Dante, "Now what's the meaning of this!"

Ovia looks at her, "What are you going to do? If you attack him, he'll die from the poison right?"

Lorelai bites her lip, "Not if I extract it after I let him go numb..."

 

[One Mean Ghost]

Lux: Knowing that idiot, it's to give her a taste of her own medicine. Not that I'm complaining, the view is amazing.. so... I'll throw him a bone for once..." he holds up a hand, calling one of his whips to himself before a subtle flick of his wrist pulls Melody's tail out of the water.

"Oh, and you'll find it really hard to poison him. And not just because you fell for him and owe him your lives"

Dante: his eyes twitch a little sonce blinking would break contact. "Never thought I'd say this... but thanks Lux... keep coming away from the water Melody..."

Dante: his eyes twitch a little sonce blinking would break contact. "Never thought I'd say this... but thanks Lux... keep coming away from the water Melody..."

Melody: She growled low in her throat, her tail now away from the water as she continued to pull herself towards Dante, her song now much much less powerful. Only a highly pleasing tune. She would of course always sound pleasant but not hypnotic like in the water. Still... focusing on her song was keeping her from dragging herself too quickly and seeming silly.

Snow: "I... I kind of feel bad for her. But I understand... she needs to learn that controlling other people is wrong. I'm glad you think so also Lux. I thought you were just a pervert who would use any trick or any way or anybody to get a girl to unwillingly join your 'harem'." She smiled sweetly as Dante continued his epic battle.

Diego: "Diala, would you be so kind as to stop those fools."

Diala: "Sure thing." Her power expands, creating a larger dome of silence that usual, covering the room. "It's nice to have my body again. Your mind holds back my powers because you won't let me see all of it."

Diego: "My past is MINE. You don't need to see it."

Dante: his eyes twitch a little sonce blinking would break contact. "Never thought I'd say this... but thanks Lux... keep coming away from the water Melody..."

Lorelai glances at Ovia and sighs lightly, "I suppose I can't really complain since he saved my host...pity."

"Wow, thanks Lorelai.", Ovia states dully.

Diego: "Diala, would you be so kind as to stop those fools."

Diala: "Sure thing." Her power expands, creating a larger dome of silence that usual, covering the room. "It's nice to have my body again. Your mind holds back my powers because you won't let me see all of it."

Diego: "My past is MINE. You don't need to see it."

Lorelai watches as this happens, and mutters under her breath. "They can't let anything interesting ever happen, can they?"

Ovia shrugs, "It seems to give people a moment to breathe when they do..."

Lorelai strokes the top of the girl's head, "At the cost of actually being able to have fun. It's the equivalent of sticking us in a corner for a time-out..."

Ovia snickers, "Guess I'm not the only one that doesn't like being treated like a child."

"Correct, my dear.", Lorelai states before leaning her head on top of hers.

 

[littleberry]

Melody: Groans as she is finally able to break eye contact and relax, pushing with her arms back into the water, sliding in and vanishing beneath the depths.

Snow: "Well... that was interesting." Smiles happily. "Good thing everyone is okay now!"

 

[One Mean Ghost]

Dante: "Just couldn't let me make a point, could you?" He glances over at Diego before shaking his head. "A man whose actions and words are constantly at odds, both with each other and themselves cannot be trusted. But that's none of my concern." His gaze turns to the water. "There are plenty of evil people in this world, Melody. What you do to them, I couldn't care less. Torment them, torture them, do whatever pleases you. I just ask you leave the innocents be. We need good people to inherit this world we are trying to save. If you forget that, I'll remind you again what it's like to be on the other side of the control."

Lux: He smirks to himself as Snow seems to see him a better light. "You misunderstand me if you think I ever try to pull anyone in 'unwillingly'. My power, and by extension, Dante's, comes from lust. I need them to come willingly or it doesn't do it for me."

 

[NextGenRolePlayer]

Me: "psst... What happened to the ships?..."

Colt: "Destrey, want to battle any of these guys."

Destrey: Smiles evilly. "Why not?! That'd be great."

Colt: "Any of you want a reaper battle?"

Melody: Growling from in the water, watching him with just her eyes above the surface. "You and I both know that this supposed control you gained was because of the surprise attack you sprung on me with those eyes. And if I thought you were attractive before... you certainly are not now." She huffed, diving back into the water and splashing down hard with her tail so the spray drenches Dante and Lux. Popping back up she points at Snow.

Snow: Eye widen and she looks around before looking at herself and pointing. "M-me?"

Melody: "Back. Away. From. The. Pervert." She carefully enunciated gesturing from Snow to Lux. "Do not trust that incubus. I know exactly what pervy thoughts are in his head because most of them are in my head. So, again... stay away. And Lux, hunny," She smirked, raising an eyebrow while shaking her head. "You and I both know that you could NEVER land her." Melody begins to laugh hard, pointing at Lux. "I mean come on she is sooooo not going to fall for any seduction scheme. You will always send that girl running in the opposite direction." And with that she dove under the water again... splashing Lux and Dante one more time.

Snow: Looks at Lux and then runs away to hide in hidey spot.

 

[Celeste-Ominous]

Would nearly unlimited ammo and a whole floor devoted to a firing range count?

Lux: Damn.. save one girl from falling to her death and let everyone live in your home and they want to kill you? Damn Dante, that sucks for you...

Ovia smiles widely, "I could roll with that. Oh oh oh! How much ammo is there?" She taps her hands excitedly before glaring at Lux, "I wouldn't kill Dante. You however...it's up for debate."

Lorelai snickers to herself.

 

[One Mean Ghost]

Ovia smiles widely, "I could roll with that. Oh oh oh! How much ammo is there?" She taps her hands excitedly before glaring at Lux, "I wouldn't kill Dante. You however...it's up for debate."

Lorelai snickers to herself.

Dante: "Depends on what weapon you want to fire. If you're talking 9mm rounds, I've got 15,000 rounds I've managed to stockpile, 7,322 for a .45, 12,455 of the 7.62 NATO round, 27,227 .22 rounds, and so on. Really depends on what you want to fire. I just ask that you keep tabs on how many rounds you use so I can update the master list in case a client has a request." He pauses to pull a clipboard off the wall with a complete manifest of the various types of ammo and weapons, handwritten with rather immaculate script. "Section A starts on that wall and goes alphabetically in order. If you can't find something just let me know."

Lux: "So you're telling her exactly how much of everything you've got?...."

Dante: "Why not? She isn't going to use it on me, and I might learn a thing or two about how to improve my own marksmanship if I watch her.."

Lux: "But she'll use it on me!"

Dante: "I fail to see how that's my problem?'

Dante: "I fail to see how that's my problem?'

Ovia's eyes seem to glass over as she grins wider and wider with each new option Dante introduces, her fingers begin to twitch as she walks over to Dante and leans against his front to hugs him. Dante can swear he feels her crying in his shirt. "I will keep track of every shell and bullet as long as I can use those beauties...", she promises smiling brightly at him.

Then her arm shoots out and grips Lux by the neck as she lets go of Dante to give Lux a deadly smirk, "You are going to make a great target..."

Lorelai then bursts out laughing, unable to hold back. "My my! I seem to have really made a good investment in possessing you!"

Dante: A faint flush comes to his cheeks. Normally, he'd just drop his internal body temperature to get rid of it but, the ability seems to slip his mind this time in surprise at the sudden hug.

Lux: "hehe. someone's blushi-" he's cut off as Ovia's hand grips his neck. ".....uh oh....."

Dante: "Ever fire one of these before, Ovia?" He sets an M240B heavy machine gun on the table, pointed directly at Lux and preloaded with a 100-round link of 7.62 rounds. Clearly, the thing is beat to all hell, but at least it still fires.

Lux: He turns quite white, noting that the lift is not on this floor and the nearest stairs are on the opposite side of the shooting range. "Traitor....."

Dante: "I'd start running if I were you. She's got 100 tries to hit you before you get to the stairs" Dante just grins and moves aside to stand next to Lorelai. "This is gonna be fun to watch"

Lux: "....." He starts on a mad dash for the stairs.

Lux: "....." He starts on a mad dash for the stairs.

Ovia gives a wistful sigh as she watches Lux run tracing her fingers over the cold metal of the gun, "Can't say I have Dante," before gripping it in a vice hold and bracing the end against her shoulder, the barrel immediately finding Lux again. "But I've seen a few fired!", she yells as she pulls the trigger with vigor.

Lorelai's eyes are glowing green as she watches, "You've created a monster Dante, no way Lux is getting to the stairs unscathed." She watches Ovia aim as she continues to shoot, "She knows to aim at where he's going to be and not where he is, and usually her targets are leagues away when she hits them, he's not running fast enough..."

Ovia's finger squeezes when she's sure she has a shot, her eyes and gun barrel honed on Lux the entire time. "Why are you running! Come on, stay a while! We can talk about that harem of yours! I promise!", she yells in amusement at seeing him run as she shoots at him.

Dante: "Why do you think I wanted to see it in action? I'm a decent shot, but I can't down moving targets or even hope to cover the distance she does. I consider this a learning experience. Both for me and Lux. I'm learning how to be a better shot, Lux is learning not to ever piss Ovia off" He smirks as he watches Lux duck and dodge as best he can.

Lux; "YEEEEEEOUCH!" He leaps almost a full three feet off the ground as one bullet hits him square in the hindquarters, only to have another hit his back. "DAMNIT DANTE! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!!!" He yells as he tries dodging this way and that, but it seems that no amount of dodging spares him any. At last, he finally tumbles down the stairs, but not before he's full of lead.

Dante: "He'll be fine. His healing factor is stronger than the one I've got and it makes him.... obnoxiously hard to kill" He shakes his head before grinning over at Ovia. "So how did that one feel?" He starts to walk over, noting the steam rising off the barrel. "It's a bit unwieldy to carry around normally, but damnit if it ain't fun to fire" He chuckles as he gets next to her.

Ovia shoots up from her prior position giggling with glee, "Fuck yeah it's fun to fire!" She turns to Dante and laughs a bit, before hugging him again. "Dude, you're fucking amazing, I swear!", she leans back to observe the gun not having given herself the chance to before.

"Are you a collector or something, this gun is pretty screwed, but you've taken good care of it!", she states in awe as she looks over it.

Lorelai watches from afar, not wanting to interrupt their conversation. "Hmph, only Ovia can make her foul language seem...strangely adorable...", she joked to herself as she listens.

Dante: Once again, there's a bit of color to his cheeks when she suddenly hugs him. It's becoming increasingly obvious that he's not so accustomed to physical shows of genuine affection. Her language succeeds in bringing a wide grin to his lips. "Well... yeah... I guess I'm something of a collector." he pauses, rubbing the back of his head since he still doesn't quite want to spill that he's actually a very accomplished and notorious thief. "A lot of what I end up collecting turns out to be junk.... But every now and again I find a real treasure. I wish I could say this one is all original, but it's actually got parts from three of them to work."

Lux: "Just wait until you go to sleep Dante.... No one will be able to save you then..." He grumbles to himself from the stairs, carefully picking bullets out of his skin as it heals slowly.

Dante: He suddenly shivers. "I get the distinct feeling Lux is going to try and torture me later..."

Ovia hums softly in acknowledgement before yelling out so Lux could hear, "Lux if you do anything to torture Dante I will, I repeat, will tie you to a fucking metal table and shoot you in the family jewels as many times as he wants me to, as an addition to how many times I will just for shits and giggles! Okay dipshit? Okay, glad we had this chat!"

She then smirked up at Dante, "That should take care of that, right?"

She stood up from her bent over position to look Dante in the eyes, "You did awesome work with this baby, even though it's not 'original'. As I said before, fun as fuck to shoot, accurate, not too bad a kickback. Top notch work."

Lux: Looks up the stairs with a glare. "That's only if you manage to find the body, bitch... At this point, I'm starting to think I'll have better luck getting my harem without that asshole... Maybe I can find another appealing vessel with less of a damn attitude..." of course, he doesn't say it loud enough they'd hear him.

Dante: "Knowing him... He's likely to try something tonight when everyone's asleep... I'm not too worried though... Worst he'll do is torture me, and unfortunately for him, I have a high pain tolerance.." he shakes his head with a chuckle. He holds her gaze when she looks up at him. "Thanks.. I was lucky though... Most of my 'projects' don't go so well... With this one..." he pauses to pat the top of the machine gun. "I was able to figure it out mostly because I had three different ones to look at and figure out what was messed up. I'm just lucky they were all broken in different ways." He looks over to several other fragmented guns on a service table with a sigh. "Those ones... I'm having difficulty finding parts for. Mostly all have problems with the firing mechanism, and I haven't found another one to salvage yet." He looks back to her. "I've tried making parts myself but.... that goes about as well as me trying to garden or repair tech" He laughs a little recalling the numerous times something he's trying to fix has blown up in his face both literally and figuratively.

Ovia laughs at the look on his face, "You'd probably do better than I ever could. Listen I may be a damn good shot, but I'm a dunce when it comes to actually fixing things. Maintenance, I can handle, I have to." She walks over to the service table and looks over the parts curiously.

"I admire someone like you though, despite the fact that it might not work, you still tried.", she commented off-handedly. "I'm kinda too scared to try anymore. It seriously backfires when I do."

Dante: He laughs with her when she mentions her inability to fix things. However, the laughter trails off when she says she admires him.

"Eh... I'm not really anything worth admiring... I've been on my own for a long time. Had to do things for myself, ya know..." he rubs the back of his head. It's a strange mix of humility and.... was that guilt? "I've had my share of backfires too. Went without eyebrows for awhile, actually" he laughs in spite of himself.
