Fantasy Magic Brew Cafè (CLOSED)

[thistle]

He answered her while admiring his latest work that speckled her skin. "Noire, while you were away, was strangely ambitious for a mortal. While she still remained at the top of her class, she took on many projects, studying creatures, trying to figure out the advantages of their build and how to incorporate them into their own society. Curiosity made her a bit selfish," he commented with a shrug, "and by chance I became one of the creatures she wished to...exploit." The pause was purposeful, the word rolling like silk as the wisp's gaze swept to the side, entailing of the promiscuity that had occurred between them in the past.


Eyes darkened with sly satisfaction, he continued. "As wisps we have the ability to draw others to ourselves. Victims are simply put under a guise and they simply follow. It is rare for them to be impervious otherwise. Noire did not wish to find a spell to replicate it - for many had of those had been created in the past - but to break it. Let me remind you: Once a wisp has you it is almost impossible to break," Vahl paused, recalling briefly of Ellie's resilience, "almost. So she asked for my aide, desperate to find a solution. She broke a few of my lights as a result, and, in a manner of speaking, I broke her as well, though that took place in the bedroom."

"Mmmm...I'm guessing it ended when she graduated school and married that goodie two shoes doctor..." Serathi smiled, dragging her fingers lightly across Vahl's collarbone. "You always did like them young..." She murmured. " Maybe you'll be able to rekindle an old flame with Ellinor," she smirked, " It's a shame those hunters I sent destroyed Noire's face, She always was a pretty girl," she laughed climbing out of bed, glancing at the fireplace to rekindle the long gone flame.

Jun followed suite, curious himself, and popped his head outside. Just above them the sound of broken clapping took place, breaking the silence in random intervals. It was as if the individual above them had just discovered the phenomena that by smacking both hands together, it produced small applause. The inconsistent pattern continued to remain this way, and just when Jun thought to turn his head upward and give an odd look at the owner, he heard the familiar sound of curses as Oliver continued to mumble beneath his breath.


He peeked at Lila beside him before cupping his chin into a hand, watching as the lone firefly remained on the wooden frame. "What's your story, Lila?. She had told him briefly before but now that a calm atmosphere had been obtained between them, Jun wondered if she had something else to say of her background.


@Scattered Ambitions


 
"She's pretty attached to that son of yours, and she did resist me when I tried to draw her out of the cafe." Vahl stared outward at nothing in particular, drawing his knees to his chest and resting himself against them while he did so. "Once you get the chance, are you planning to keep her body to yourself permanently? And you never told me why you required a shade."


His relationship with Serathi was the longest lasting Vahl had ever had, and despite knowing the demoness for an extensive amount of time, he rarely heard of her plans. Often he would be the one to ask aloud, sometimes to past the time, sometimes out of mere curiosity.

Serathi paused from where she had been buttoning her shirt, " Those stupid angels," she growled, pulling open the shirt again. On her stomach was a black ink tattoo that was a pair of angel wings torn in half, the mark of the Fallen. " When that bitch Meredith casted me into that cell, the angels branded me with this mark, as proof that I was a criminal, a dangerous person," she smirked, buttoning up her shirt again," They also placed a curse on me, I can't gain full control of a body without it withering away unless it was the body of a witch with the blood of a shade in her veins, A virtually impossible feat since shade blood is a deadly poison to witches," she sneered," But the idiots have finally done it, created a witch body that can with hold the poison," she smiled faintly. She smiled when she heard his question about Ellinor, " No Vahl...What a ridiculous question,"she laughed. She turned to the whisp, her eyes glittering with a mad sort of glee. " I wanna bring her to edge of despair and madness, and break her little spirit til she's nothing more than an empty shell begging for mercy," she smiled brightly. At this point she had crawled back on the bed in only her shirt kneeling in front of Vahl looking up at him." You should know better then me, A pretty girls screams of desperation at the most wonderful music," she smirked. " The only thought tat makes me happier is imagining Vincent watching his love, broken before his very eyes, powerless to stop it," Serathi laughed a bit madly, caught up in her racing thoughts of how she would torture Ellinor, her eyes glittering with a mad gleam.

the lil' cat continued to play his harp for a bit...he had actually fallen asleep a while ago and was actually playing while he was asleep. He leaned on his harp and snored softly. The bird sniffed the air and flew toward the bug. The bird nudged the firefly type bug and opened it's beak and ate the little thing! The bird began to glow a bit as it flew outside

 

[DestinyRed]

Raya ran her hands through her hair and looked around the now buzzing cafe. She wasn't exactly sure what was happening at the moment. The new girl and Jun ran off somewhere, she couldn't see the cat from where she was standing and didn't have a clue where Ellie was. So naturally she just stood there glancing around the cafe and eavesdropping, but that was pointless so she sat down at table a couple were sitting at, looking at the cluttered table and assuming they were planning something, "Hi!"


@RegalWindstar

 

[RegalWindstar]

Akira looked up her hair a happy yellow with a bright smile on her face, Nudging Alexander in the ribs when he didn't look up forcing him to look. "Hello, I'm Akira and this is Alexander" She motioned to Alexander who sighed running a hand through his hair going back to the magazines "We are planning our wedding. Oooh" She pushed forward one book pointing to so many different flowers "What do you think would be the best ones to get for my bouquet miss um..?" her hair changed pink in embarrassment of not knowing the girls name


@DestinyRed

 

[DestinyRed]

Raya liked Akira, she seemed nice and Alexander seemed like her could use a nap.... She looked over the soon to be married then smiled, her nails turning yellow at the same time as Akira's hair turned pink, "I'm Raya." She said then looked at the magazine, "The blue ones!"

 

[RegalWindstar]

Akira smiled and reached over grabbing Raya's hands as she noticed the color change "Wow! Do your nails change color depending on moods like my hair does?" she asked in excitement. Alexander sighed pulling Akira gently back Akira losing grip on Raya's hands. He looked up at Raya "Those flowers are quite a nice choice." He smirked at Akira who's hair was changing rapidly and could hardly sit still. A chuckle escaped his lips "Little bird, calm down. Your probably scaring her" Akira glared her hair turning pink in embarrassment as she punched his arm.


Akira turned back to Raya "Oooh! You could go wedding dress shopping with Ellie and I!" Alexander looked at Akira like she had grown another head "You just met this girl!" Akira turned raising an eyebrow "So?" Alexander groaned knowing Akira would take everything he says as a challenge now "Fine, do whatever you'd like" he grumbled going back to the magazines.


@DestinyRed


(Akira ffs take a chill pill girl! O.o I regret having her order coffee, she gets as hyped up as me!)

 

[DestinyRed]

"Yeah! We have hair/nail twins." She joked then gawked when Akira invited her dress shopping. Then she enjoyed watching the couple argue like children on sugar highs, "Uh, sure I'll come with you and I've met Ellie, I got her some meds for a hangover earlier." She said then mentally ran over the sentence, "I shouldn't have said that..." she said with a chuckle.

 

[RegalWindstar]

Akira smiled "I swear everyone in this cafe gets drunk a lot" she joked. Alexander raised an eyebrow "Should we have alcohol at the wedding?" Akira raised an eyebrow at him "Are you kidding me, what if a fairy has it?" Alexander smirked "Yeah yeah, I just figured it wouldn't hurt. The fae know better. Also look at you trying to pull off what only I can do" Akira lightly shoved him "Oh shut up!" Alexander chuckled and kissed her head. Akira turned back to Raya "Your probably confused. Its best fairies don't have alcohol we react badly to it, our powers go out of control and we ourselves also become uncontrollable. Its not a pretty sight." She smiled bright "I can't wait to go dress shopping with you and Ellie though! It'll be so much fun."


@DestinyRed

 

[Happy Red Mage]

Spooks worked silently in the background, serving customers left and right. She picked up a tray of biscuits, silently snatching one, and placed it on display along with the other pastries that the cafe had to offer. Lightning dance playfully around her head as if it were a crown for her. Internally, she was saddened that even at her second life she still won't find love anytime soon

 

[sgtmickey]

The tiny cat snapped awake and started to rub his eyes. " Aww man it's hopeless! I'll never find a girl, I've been playing this harp for hours and I not one girl has shown up! " He washes his face in the tiny pond that he created. He looked at the couple and his face brightened up. " Aww how cute ^^ " He scratches his head but feels it realizing his bird had flown off. " Aww great, now where'd that screwy bird fly off to " He whistles and the bird flew back onto his head. " There you are! Hey why are you glowing? What's that? You wanted to show me something? Well spit it out then! " The bird spit out a glow bug " Oh, you actually spit it out! Ooh! A new species of bug to add to our garden!!! " The small cat observed it and began to feed the bug. He began to play with the glow bug. " I found it! I learned another song! " He put the glow bug into the flowers with all the other bugs. He began to stretch and before long he played his new playful song. It began to attract a bunch of other glow bugs to the garden. He giggled as he was surrounded by his new friends. " Well since I have a new species of bug to take care of I should restock on my food supply! " He bounces off his chair and strides toward Spooks. " Greetings miss I was wondering if I could buy some of those biscuits! " He wagged his tail quite like a dog as he stared up at her happily!

 

[Elfia Nightwing]

Serathi smirked down at Vahl, dragging her nails across his chest, leaving thin lines of blood. " Although, you've probably already thought of every way to break the girl with that twisted mind of yours," she smirked, her eyes filled with a dark sort of happiness. " The pure type of girls are always the funnest to torture, don't you agree?" she smiled, stopping her nails, " I bet they haven't even they haven't even seen each other naked," she laughed coldly. " Make the little witch feel special, charm her and she'll be easy to control,"


@thistle

 

[thistle]

She truly was mad, and Vahl had no qualms about it. The malice that flowed through every vein of her body, the chaos imbued in each step - all of those and more were the exact reasons Vahl had been drawn to her in the first place. What took place in the bed room was merely an enjoyable side benefit, but as a creature that hailed from the underworld himself, it was Serathi's sense of manipulation and destruction that he truly found most attractive.


"And your son," he asked, briefly touching the new set of wounds. He would have to make sure those healed before he approached Ellie. It wouldn't be a wise decision for her to see the scattered puncture marks across his skin - she would question them no doubt, "what of him?" Wickedly he wondered if the witch had even received such a marking before.


@Elfia Nightwing


 
Quietly, Jun left the room, allowing Lila to linger beside the window and enjoy the sights of the evening light. He picked up the bin by the corner, careful not to stare inside lest he wished to add his own contents to it, and went to retreat out the back to toss the mess in the dumpster. With a few good taps, Jun finished and turned to let himself back inside but when he tried the knob, he found it locked.


Certainly others before him had entered through this way yet that might have been because they had possessed a spare key. Resisting a sigh, the shade made his way to the entrance and allowed himself back inside, hoping the customers would be too preoccupied in conversation to notice the seemingly possessed trash can weave through the tables as Jun, now invisible, carried it past.


@ any-one

 

[Elfia Nightwing]

Serathi smiled, moving so her mouth was near Vahl's ear, " Make him suffer," she whispered, "Take everything he holds dear and loves and destroy it," she smiled with mad glee. She dragged her fingertips of Vahl's new wounds, smearing the blood. She smirked bring her blood coated fingers up to her lips, licking off Vahl's blood slowly, as if it was a excotic food, " I never wanted a child,or to be a mother," she said, breaking the silence of the room," Children are weak, soft, incompetent," she continued, her eyes narrowing, " I hated feeling him grow inside me, using me to grow stronger," she said now lost in memories," There were times I would hold a knife over my stomach and just sit for hours, contemplating cutting him out of me,"

 

[thistle]

"Why keep the child in the first place?"


He wasn't entirely shocked by Serathi's confession. While traversing through the underworld Vahl would often find himself run across a handful of the insidious offspring, left to their own devices, some of them abandoned right after birth. Young demons that came up to his knee, hellhound pups, lost spectras begging for aide and others had been some of the few he had caught sight of among the flames. It seemed that creatures of the netherworld had little patience for the paternal care adopted by those above surface.


At one point in his strolls, when he had decided to take the underworld passage to cross from the city of Greece to the coast of Sicily, he had noticed an imp on the opposite band of the River of Styx. Though still quite young and obviously meant to fend for himself, the boy had taken little notice of his own troubles. Instead he had seemed more entertained by the fact that he could send the souls drifting through the water into effective panic by kicking the waters and watching as their bodies twisted and curled, following the pattern of the disturbed waters. Vahl had left the child to himself, the sound of absurd laughter following him for a while.

 

[Elfia Nightwing]

Serathi let out A low chuckle," I can still remember the day I gave birth to him, that pain, it's unbearable worse than anything I've gotten on the battlefield, and what did I get from it? A pathetic weakling of a son, I couldn't even fully train him as a warrior, he was to weak as a child, he spent most of the time in bed with sickness, I couldn't bear to look at him, I let the servants take care of him, raise him, I wanted nothing to do with the whelp I could barely handle touching him," she growled, digging her nails in Vahl's chest. " I hate him, I've always hated him," she glared. " I don't know, I contemplated it, day and day again," she looked up at the ceiling, a distant smile spreading across her face," Maybe, deep down I hoped that he wouldn't prove to be a disappointment, maybe deep down I wanted a worthy heir," she smirked.

 

[thistle]

Vahl's lips pursed into a slight 'oh' as the nails curled deeper inside him. As much as he took pleasure in it and the other forms dark debauchery, it was currently proving a distraction. Taking her head between both hands and rolling them over until she was beneath him, he kissed her until she finally grew soft and complacent. "If you continue to do this," he told her, listening to her shortened breaths while he grabbed the hand that still impaled him and pulled it away from his chest, gripping the slippery fingers, "it'll be hard to concentrate while I'm speaking to the witch."


@Elfia Nightwing

 

[Elfia Nightwing]

Serathi stared up at Vahl, her episode of madness faded from her face," You truly are twisted," she murmured, as her chest rose with her quick breaths. "Tell me, who was better? Me or Noire?" she asked, her eyes having an uncharacteristic softness to them, making them appear more like Vincent's eyes. They were no longer the eyes of war bent creature of destruction, but of a woman addressing her lover.

 

[thistle]

Holding himself above her, the strands of dark hair slanted to the side as Vahl turned his head at the slightest angles. He fixed her with a curious gaze, questioning why the the demoness had suddenly grown subdued. Crawling down her body till he could rest the side his face against her side, Vahl began to trace the tattoo gilded along her stomach, his touch light. "Noire was adventurous, which followed her in both her public and private life," he answered coolly as her ribs expanded underneath him with each, measured breath, "but she was naive to the point of being insufferable. Yes, I enjoyed the times where I got to teach her things, but she had very little tolerance to pain."


The sigh that left him danced across her skin, warm and fleeting, and he turned his head to kiss the planes of her stomach, finished with the topic. "Besides, Serathi, does that question imply you're still jealous of a woman who has been dead for half a century?"

 

[Elfia Nightwing]

Serathi tightened up, her breath halting. She pulled Vahl's hair so he was looking her in the eyes, gripping his hair tightly. " Let me say this once, I am jealous of no one, especially not a pathetic whore of a witch you toyed with in my absence," she glared at him, the cold look back in her eyes. " Never imply that again," she glared, tightening her grip.

 

[thistle]

Sedated by his thoughts Vahl was unprepared to have his head wrenched forcibly upward, a grimace flashing across his features. He was more jarred than anything, and in response he took hold of the hand that seized him, wrapping his entire palm against the back of her own and began to tighten around the beautiful fingers. All the while the wisp remained emotionless, staring down at his lover as he felt the fine bones crush against one another. "You never let me answer your question in full," he replied as he felt her fingers finally give way, "Noire was too much of a handful in bed. She was unreasonably loud when her sighs hit my ear, and she spent herself faster than I could imagine."


"And as I said - her tolerance to pain was laughable." The wisp brought the bruised hand between them, looking like he almost pitied the fact that he had damaged something so lovely. "There is no comparison between you two," Vahl concluded lowly, eyes growing hooded as he watched the hand begin to jump and twitch violently within his cradled grasp, fixing itself before him as her sorcery began to repair the limb.

 

[Elfia Nightwing]

Serathi looked down at the hand, glaring at it. The skin was beginning to dry and crack away, " Almost time," she murmured, crawling out of bed, walking to exit," Hope you didn't like this one that well," she smirked, as the girl's fingers broke away like sand,"Would you like to help me pick out a new one?"

 

[thistle]

He tossed the sheets from him, feet slipping to the wood floor as he went to retrieve his pants. Lacing them up, he pulled a fairly simple white shirt over his head before tilting his head, inclining. "Lead the way."
