Fantasy Magic Brew Cafè (CLOSED)

[Cryobionic]

"She comes into my..." Oliver's nose scrunched up at that, and he let out a long, exasperated groan, "That's just ridiculous! I've survived for one hundred and twenty four years without dying in my sleep, and she knows that!" The corners of the imp's lips, however, tilted slightly upwards, and he tried to hide his amused grin under his blood-clotted fringe.

 

[thistle]

It took a bit of encouraging, and even a small apology as Jun heard rather than felt the small smack to his face. He came to, exhilarated and frightened at the same time as noted by the largeness of his eyes. Hands still to his face, they came away long enough to allow his arms to slip from the harness, revealing where exactly they had been clasped to him, red lines stamped against the skin, then they flew back to his mouth. His legs were completely shot but it did not deter him from retreating to the back of the deck and seeking to put as much distance between himself and the death drop.

 

[Elfia Nightwing]

Ellie whimpered, almost knocking Vinny to the ground from her hug. "Vinny..." she whined, hugging him tightly. "It's scary...." she whimpered, gripping his shirt like a life line.

 

[Cryobionic]

"Yeah, but you did it anyway, didn't you?" Vincent snickered, patting her head, "And now you can tell people that you've bungee jumped!"

 

[Elfia Nightwing]

"I never wanted to bungee jump!!" she cried, hugging the demon tighter. Estelle snickered, looking down at her shoes, "I hope Twist is doing ok," she murmured to herself, scuffing up her shoe absentmindedly. "So who's next?" she asked cheerfully.

 

[Cryobionic]

"Should we go?" Vincent asked, looking at the two fairies with a tired grin, hopefully the jump would work to jolt him out of his half awake state.

 

[RegalWindstar]

Akira froze up and Alexander sighed grabbing her hand whispering in her ear "I promise nothing is going to happen, if something goes wrong and you start to fall I'll catch you" Akira looked at him doubtful remembering the time she got her nickname Alexander sighed "Trust me, I'll never let you fall again okay?" Akira nodded and he kissed her head and turned to Vincent. "Lets get this over with. Also if we die, I'm haunting Raya" Akira giggled "I'll join you in that Alex, A married couple has to stay together after all now don't they?"


-----


Luke smiled "Yeah, well that's Akira for you." his smile fell slightly "You really can't blame her for acting that way though... it seems she doesn't have the best luck with family. The grim reaper and lady luck seem to really have it out for her." he slightly shook his head with a sigh standing up "You coming into her life saved her life. She would have been unreachable if you hadn't came along, thank you Oliver."


@Cryobionic

 

[Cryobionic]

Vincent nodded agreeably, and soon they were all safely within their harnesses. The man strapping them in gave his stitches a weird look, but he didn't as much as bat an eye at the fairies wings. This took the demon slightly by surprise, but he soon remembered Raya's comments about people dressing up to jump, and took it in a stride. Vincent stepped out to the edge, glancing down at the depths below with a small smile, before turning to face his companions. "You ready?" He grinned.


.....


"All people go through hardships in life, and some are weaker than others when it comes to dealing with that hardship," Oliver murmured, spinning the dagger around in his hand experimentally, "And some people require more comfort and sympathy than others too. I think Akira's one of those people, don't you?" He looked up, regarding Luke with a small grin, "And don't thank me. I didn't do much, I just sat on her a couple of times."

 

[RegalWindstar]

Akira looked to Alexander and took a deep breath nodding as the two harnessed fairies stepped to the edged. Akira grabbed Alexander and Vincent's hands her fear obvious on her face.


"Lets get this over with" she spoke shakily.


----


Luke nodded "Yeah, she definitely is the kind who requires comfort more than others...but she still is pretty strong. I have a feeling with all of you around, she'll be able to become stronger."


He chuckled "And you sat on her? How did she react to that? I've never even though of or heard of that kind of method for comforting people before" he joked @Cryobionic

 

[Cryobionic]

"Let's go then!" Vincent shrugged, listening as the man behind them began to count down from ten. As he got to one, he stepped off the ledge, pulling the two fairies with him, and began to pummel to the ground. It was an interesting feeling, to suddenly fall freely through the air, but not one he was entirely unfamiliar with. The cold wind wind pushing against his face did manage to kickstart his brain, though.


.....


"Well..." Oliver muttered sheepishly, "She wouldn't calm down! And she was starting to have one of her freak out things, and I sorta-kinda-maybe tackled her to the ground and threatened to sit on her stomach until she calmed down. Twice."

 

[RegalWindstar]

Akira screamed, eyes closed in fear her lungs feeling like they were on fire her heart pounding in her chest and her grip tight on both male's hands. Alexander screamed...in pain from her grip.


----


Luke chuckled "Well that really is an interesting way to calm her... I wonder if that'd work next time she gets angry at me!" he joked. "Still you've done a lot more than you think Oliver. You deserve more credit than you give yourself. You found her when she ran away, you listened to her and didn't turn her away when she needed someone. You were a friend, you were THE friend she needed, THE brother she needed. You saved her from herself, from her broken hurting heart, from her grief just by being a good brother and friend to her. She...doesn't often go to others, Alexander is the only one she usually trusts with her problems and...she still doesn't always talk to him, its rare she talks to me either. She never wants to put more on someones plate to deal with. She keeps it in until she can't handle it anymore..which really isn't healthy for her. I worry about her a lot. Which makes me glad she has you and the others now. Sometimes she can also be rash or so kind to the point of being stupid. I can't always be by her side neither can Alexander, so its a relief to know she has you guys to help keep her head on straight." @Cryobionic

 

[Cryobionic]

Vincent was pretty sure his favorite part of the whole experience, was getting whipped upwards again. While falling from great distances was something he was quite familiar with, falling backwards was not, which made the whole thing even more fun. And a little nauseating. One they came to a stop though, and had been lowered down and unleashed, he realized how much his hands was aching. He rubbed it gingerly and sent a glare Akira's way, "It wasn't that bad, surely!"


...


"Yeah, well..." Oliver's cheeks tinted a little at Luke's passionate speech, and he waved his hands in the air as if to wave away his compliments, "Seriously, it wasn't much! Just a little... you know, pushing in the right direction or something like that." The imp shrugged, looking away, suddenly uncomfortable.

 

[RegalWindstar]

Akira looked at Vincent shaking like a leaf before burying her face in Alexander's shirt trying to breathe properly again, she was practically hyperventilating. Alexander was trying to calm her down, she looked traumatized. "Akira, it's okay, it's okay! You're on land, you're fine!" Alexander looked worried, Akira clung to him trying to get any comfort she could from him. Alexander sighed and kneeled down pulling her onto his lap pulling away enough to look at her hand on her cheek forcing her to look at him "You're okay, we're okay. Breathe Akira, can you do that, can you breathe for me. In" he took a breath in "out" and out breathing with her as she matched his breathing calming down "See, you're alright, You're alright now."


Akira wrapped her arms around his neck silent tears streaming down her face as he held her to him running a hand through his hair, she quickly fell asleep and he stood up holding her in a princess carry. "I should have expected this." his eyes turned to Vincent "I think its best if we leave."


------


Luke chuckled "I can see why Akira gushes about you to everyone she knows all the time. You really are...adorable like she says. Some of the other royals shes talked to about you actually have been wanting to meet you. They are charmed by Akira's description and praise of you. In my opinion and definitely in Akira's you deserve all the Praise you get." he smiled before stretching "Anyway, Enough of the sappy fluffy stuff hm? Thats Akira's job not mine" he smirked "Do you want anything to eat or drink?" @Cryobionic

 

[Cryobionic]

Vincent just shrugged, kneading his own hand, a little worried about the sleeping fairy. He pointed over his shoulder at the stairs, "We have to walk all the way up again, though," He murmured, beginning to head in the direction, "You sure you'll manage to carry her all the way up?"


......


"A-Adorable?!" Oliver exclaimed, hos tone clearly suggesting the very idea of him being considered adorable was an outrage. With a small huff he grabbed his cheeks and pulled the ugliest face he could in the direction of the man, complete with his tongue sticking out and his eyes crossed. That would show him adorable. When the mention of food reached his ears, though, he perked up and dropped the grimace, replacing it with a bright grin instead, "D'ya think there's any hot dogs in the kitchen?"


@RegalWindstar

 

[RegalWindstar]

Alexander nodded "Yeah I'm sure. Shes actually not all that heavy." he spoke as he held her slightly protectively a small smile on his face when he looked down at hers though worry was clear in his eyes he was happy she looked peaceful when asleep. He walked in the direction of the stairs "Lets hurry and get back to the others"


-----


Luke smiled at Oliver's childish display with a small chuckle but didn't say a word. "There might be. I'll go check." He quickly made sure all windows were locked and then left the apartment making sure to keep the door open so he could hear up the stairs to it better. He walked into the Kitchen and searched it, he soon found hot dogs but stood at a loss of how to cook them and searched his memories for anything on them. "Hot dogs...hot dogs... Now what do humans usually do...oh! Right I need a pot" he threw them in a pot after filling it with water and placed it on the stove. "What temperature..." It took longer than it should have but Luke finally got the hot dogs done after some..trial and error he grabbed a couple of hot dog buns aswell incase Oliver wanted them along with a glass of water. He walked back up the stairs entering the room with them "Sorry it took me so long" @Cryobionic

 

[Archdemon]

Zero had stayed back at the shop to make sure it was protected while Vincent and the others went bungee jumping. He mostly stayed upstairs usually working on something that either dealed with work or just some meaningful thing that he has to do like taxes or something. He had sort of made the area where he sleeps which is a couch in the living room his work area so you'll see paper scattered all over the coffee table, folders and binders containing pages or records of people, pictures were hung up on a board he had set up and different colored pins and string that linked different pictures and sites together. He knew it wasn't the most organized set up for work but it's better than nothing. He would come downstairs for a bit either to check if anyone who shouldn't be there or wasn't there when he last checked. He is at the moment looking at some record papers of suspected people and their history. He was getting bored so he decided to play some classical music to liven the atmosphere.

 

[Cryobionic]

Vincent nodded hesitantly, regarding the fairy with a skeptical, crimson look, "If you're sure..." He murmured, before beginning to climb the staircase up to the main area. It took a while, and a few grunts from Alexander, but they finally made it all they way up. With a smile, the demon waved at the others, some of them looking decidedly more green than they had when they had first arrived, "That wasn't so bad," He snickered, nodding at Raya, "Thanks for forcing us to do this, and threatening us with bodily harm should we have declined."


....


Oliver looked up as the door opened again, and his expression brightened considerably as the smell of cooked hot dogs wafted up his nose. Nearly vibrating in excitement, he forced himself to sit still until Luke had placed the dishes down on the coffee table. He hadn't had any of his favorite food in nearly a week, and he had almost forgotten how much he liked them. With a huge grin, he grabbed one, and stuffed it into a bun, "This is great!" He exclaimed biting into it with out hesitation, "Thanks a lot!"

 

[RegalWindstar]

Alexander smiled shifting Akira slightly in his arms when a soft mew like sound came out of her mouth as she almost flopped out of his arms a small piece of her hair fell infront of her face.


A slight chuckle escaped him as she snuggled up to his chest. He looked at her eyes twinkling with amusement and shining with dazed love.


------


Luke smiled at Oliver "I was slightly afraid they'd end up turning out terrible. I'm not really a culinary expert afterall. Its hard to boil water!" he chuckled "I'm glad you like them though." @Cryobionic

 

[Cryobionic]

"Nah, they're great. Almost like the ones they sell at the stands, and those are super good," Oliver told him excitedly between mouthfuls, "Though, that might have had something to do with it being the first thing I did when coming here. Eating one of them, I mean. Gave me something to do while I trudged through the woods looking for the group." He giggled, thinking back to then, how different everything in the world had seemed, how simple. "You know," He mused, running his tongue over his teeth, feeling out his still missing one, "I gave that big guy, Mazus I think his name was, one of my teeth. He was trying to do some ritual or another. It's still missing, see?" He gave the fairy a grin, exposing his shark like teeth. It was clear one of his canines were missing.

 

[RegalWindstar]

Luke raised an eyebrow "How did you get that tooth out?" his voice showed he was dreading the answer but had to know anyway @Cryobionic

 

[Cryobionic]

"I just snapped it off. It'll grow back in due time i'm sure, don't worry about it." He giggled, waving off the fairy's concerned look, "Besides, the ritual didn't work anyway, and I only really did it 'cause I thought it would be entertaining to watch him fail at it. The owner of the mansion had put up wards, you see, so nobody was getting through. Well, besides the one thing they didn't ward against, of course. Imps." Oliver gave him a secretive grin, finishing up his hot dog with a sigh.

 

[RegalWindstar]

Luke sighed with a slight smile "Akira might kill you if she finds out you pulled out your own tooth." he spoke lightly he raised an eyebrow at the hot dog being devoured so fast "You must really have been hungry huh? Is there anything else you want to eat, drink or do while we wait for the others to be back?" @Cryobionic

 

[Cryobionic]

"Which is why she'll never find out," Oliver stated firmly, reaching for another hot dog, placing it in a bun before shoving it into the others hands, "Right, Luke?"

 

[RegalWindstar]

Luke smirked "No way am I telling her, she'd make too big of a deal over it, though it was pretty reckless of you y'know. Still though, no way I'm telling her, though if she finds out I'm running away whether your behind me or not" he teased taking the hot dog @Cryobionic

 

[Cryobionic]

"Nah, imp teeth are like shark teeth, they grow back." Oliver snickered, leaning back against the couch with a satisfied grin, "I can't imagine how dull it must be for humans, who only have one chance of growing their teeth back out, and that's when they're kids." The imp shook his head, a disbelieving look coming over his face, "Man, if imps were like that, I would be toothless by now." He giggled, propping his feet up on the table, 'causing his shoes to flash up.
