Personification Life - IC Part VIII [open]

[The BranRiech]

"Yeah, glad to talk to you, but I think I'll be off in the spare room, a'right?" Natiya said and bobbed her raptor head up and down, amusingly. She got up, and walked off, hoping to find her tomorrow for their "Bonding", what a joke! How could she do that, ask to be a fairy with her? Hmmph, she'd do it, but she'd probably not like it, hanging out with the girl who nearly killed her.

--

Rachelle was literally jumping up and down with excitement. She was glad to be getting cupcakes, since that Torii couldn't really eat all the ones she they were making, right?

[Tiltjuice]

It was then that she nearly collided with another raptor with unusually pale blue eyes.

"Hello," Tasia said, with a toothy smile. "Former Sister. How does this evening find you?"

It was then that she nearly collided with another raptor with unusually pale blue eyes.

"Hello," Tasia said, with a toothy smile. "Former Sister. How does this evening find you?"

"Hmm?"

Natiya was already turned around, facing her. She figured the door was open and somehow Tasia got in, but . . . Well, it happened. She grinned and shrugged. "It's all right, got in an argument, made up, and I was just going to my room now. How're you then?" She asked.

[Torsiedelle]

"See ya then.", Torii waved. After Natiya had left, Torii remembered her bruised cheek. It still hurt a little when she touched it...thankfully, it didn't hurt that bad. Still, it was an ugly sight, having a good chunk of her face being a sick grey-blue.

Her ribs were obviously the worst off, though, and still hurt badly. Running from Natiya didn't help much.

But she didn't need to think about that. She wondered what Yoshi and Rachelle were up to in the kitchen. She got up and went to check.

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

“you’ll have to take me their sometime” she said before taking another drought of the wine while listening. She saw where Arthur was taking this conversation and it amused her greatly, this form of courtship was seldom found where she was from and the act of formally getting acquainted normally came after the rest of the dance. None the less she played along. “Well I enjoy the traditionals; sex, drugs, and murder. But I am huge fan of staying up to date on genetic fashion and exploring new cultures.”

"Well, I'm sure you love it." Arthur replied to the talks of a road trip. He was quite satisfied the date was going so well, it made the raptor relax a bit more. "Facinating, what is your view on the perfect murder? I think the best ones are the ones that nobody knows about. Gone without a trace with nobody to miss them, of course often those people don't taste very good because of unhealthy living conditions." he shared as he ate his steak.

Meanwhile in the Von Eldritch House,

The group had to be moving along, as anyone who kept idling at the door would see an angry beark (bear w/ shark head and tail) charging their position from the trees. As for the others who followed the yellow paint footprints, should be approaching the large simple metal fortress that sat in the middle of the room, towering at thirty feet tall, but hidden away. The walls were painted an a camouflage pattern, with narrow barred windows high above that were visibly lit from within. The only visible entrance was a large set of closed double-doors that were locked from within. A sparking security camera was mounted to the upper- left of the doors, to the right was an intercom that wasn't emitting static.

[Urran]

Yoshi had nearly finsihed icing Rachelle's cupcakes, having already iced his. Between them, thwy had over two dozen. "Happy Birthday Tora!" he chimed

[Tiltjuice]

"Hmm?"

Natiya was already turned around, facing her. She figured the door was open and somehow Tasia got in, but . . . Well, it happened. She grinned and shrugged. "It's all right, got in an argument, made up, and I was just going to my room now. How're you then?" She asked.

"Good. And yourself?"

"Funny, there don't seem to be any spam traps," Chrys pointed out. Hans agreed, but Minerva shook her head.

"Try the intercom first maybe," Luce suggested.

[The BranRiech]

"Land shark! LAND SHARK!" Bran screamed and jumped back, combining his fear of bears, and sharks at the same time, all jumbled into the primal instinct to not be eaten by something, and a genetic-monstrosity would be last on that list so far.

The only person behind him, Rylli, jumped as well, but ended up catching her husband in her arms. Rylli sighed and started cursing in Russian, out of fear, and anger over why she was now carrying Bran around. She was suppressing giggles as well, as it was probably the funniest thing she'd seen. "Get down from there!" She dropped him.

"B-but . . . Land shark!" He gestured.

"Nope, go on." She commanded with a slight giggle. There were people enough to handle the thing, hopefully.

--

"Mmm, so what brings you around to this part of the apartment? You usually never come down here, da?" Natiya asked, letting a long suppressed slight accent slip through. "You know? I kind of miss being one of you sometimes."

--

Not to be outdone, Rachelle bolted and nabbed the frosting squeezer from Yoshi, and started to pile up frosting on one until it was taller than the cupcake itself. It would be Torii's personal cupcake, right?

"Mount. Cupcake!"

[Urran]

Yoshi giggled at the girls antics. This is why he loved kids. "I think it's for you Tora." He said softly in his usual manner. He tussled Rachelle's hair. She was a good kid.


Bran was really on Tieia's nerves. "Branson, it's just a shark stop whining." He said with a sneer.

[Torsiedelle]

"Oh my god, thank you guys so much!", Torii said in the sweetest voice. "I feel so loved! Oh, and there's a lot of cupcakes. I hope you guys enjoy them, since you wormed so hard for me. I love them already!"

She loved cupcakes, yes. She wasn't a fan of frosting, but it all seemed so sweet and kind, she would eat as many as they wanted her to. She loved her little birthday gift. She didn't want to upset them in the slightest.

[Urran]

Yoshi smiled and picked up one for himself. "We love you Tora." he said with a nod and took a savory bite and he practically melted. They were really good, if a little sugary. He moaned and closed his eyes to savor it, at least he seemed to enjoy them.

[The BranRiech]

Rachelle, lacking hair, because you know, raptors and stuff, grinned and reached up to the counter to try grabbing a cupcake of her own, but having stubbier arms than that of a human, she couldn't reach them. It was somewhat annoying, but her snout proved perfect for the job, snatching one up, rapper and all before chomping down on it.

[Primordial Luxa]

A sparking security camera was mounted to the upper- left of the doors, to the right was an intercom that wasn't emitting static.

She didnt need to put much thought into, Luxans were a postmodern people and the answer flowed smoothly through her even as her skin turned a dark shade of red. "Id prefer it to be as public as possible. A story that fills the minds of everyone for days and increases my immortality at the cost of a persons life. To become a little more infamous and known than I already am. Id have it televised without anyone's knowledge so I could walk about and see people react to the death of one."

[Urran]

Rachelle, lacking hair, because you know, raptors and stuff, grinned and reached up to the counter to try grabbing a cupcake of her own, but having stubbier arms than that of a human, she couldn't reach them. It was somewhat annoying, but her snout proved perfect for the job, snatching one up, rapper and all before chomping down on it.

Yoshi let out a happy raptor hiss and finished his cupcake. "I-I-I wonder when this raptorfication will were off?" he wondered aloud. For now, he was a cold blooded reptile.

Tieria, a raptor with paler skin than most and a thick purple head crest, continued to glare at Bran. Was he always like this? Tieria cared not for bear-sharks.

[Tiltjuice]

"Mmm, so what brings you around to this part of the apartment? You usually never come down here, da?" Natiya asked, letting a long suppressed slight accent slip through. "You know? I kind of miss being one of you sometimes."

"Oh, it's always nice to be missed...and desired," Tasia replied with a thin smile. "But you should know, I'm here, there, and everywhere!" she continued in an admonishing tone.

"As for missing being one of us, how perfect! I was just about to say that I'm looking for a job. Dora tells me you're a mercenary, right?"

[The BranRiech]

"Well, I think it's fun! I'm like from that movie, and my friends from next door!" Rachelle beamed, snout covered in frosting she administered to her own cupcake. She wasn't that efficient at eating it, not used to the different facial-structure of a raptor. It was weird being cold-blooded though, but Natiya had recently cranked up the heat, it was getting warmer in the apartment.

--

"I was a Mercenary, didn't do too much, pretty much the same as being a conservator." Natiya shrugged. "I could do something for you though, you're a friend, and . . . A sister, right? I forgot what it was."

Ugh, she desperately missed it now, being part of a team again was something Natiya yearned for.

[Tiltjuice]

"I was a Mercenary, didn't do too much, pretty much the same as being a conservator." Natiya shrugged. "I could do something for you though, you're a friend, and . . . A sister, right? I forgot what it was."

Ugh, she desperately missed it now, being part of a team again was something Natiya yearned for.

"Oh, I'm quite sure there are some differences," Tasia said, and now there was the barest hint of something in her tone to go with her thin smile. "A Sister, yes."

Had she been human, she would have taken Natiya's wrist in a delicate grip. Instead, she waved her tail in a graceful gesture that drew the eye to it.

"Shall we discuss it over a meal?"

[The BranRiech]

"Well, the part about me not doing much was the same." Natiya grinned, coming across as creepy with her raptor face, looking like an evil genius, like she assumed all velociraptors looked like after meeting the Von Eldritch family. "Meal? Sure, I was threatening to eat Torii, but I was joking really, except now I'm quite hungry."

[Torsiedelle]

Torii took a cupcake, examining it for a second. She tried it, and it really was good, as she expected from Yoshi and Rachelle.

"You two did very well!", She said, and even winked at Rachelle. "Thank you two very much! I love you guys too!"

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

She didnt need to put much thought into, Luxans were a postmodern people and the answer flowed smoothly through her even as her skin turned a dark shade of red. "Id prefer it to be as public as possible. A story that fills the minds of everyone for days and increases my immortality at the cost of a persons life. To become a little more infamous and known than I already am. Id have it televised without anyone's knowledge so I could walk about and see people react to the death of one."

"Sounds...exhilarating!" Arthur agreed with great interest.

He smiled and leaned forward, setting his chin in the palms of his claws as he looked into Insidious' eyes. He quite enjoyed her company, but then again at some point it would go go horribly wrong for someone. Tonight it wasn't them, but an unfortunate third party. And another thing, half an hour had gone by while eating, Arthur's corrupted structure would soon snap back reasserting itself on him.

[Tiltjuice]

"Well, the part about me not doing much was the same." Natiya grinned, coming across as creepy with her raptor face, looking like an evil genius, like she assumed all velociraptors looked like after meeting the Von Eldritch family. "Meal? Sure, I was threatening to eat Torii, but I was joking really, except now I'm quite hungry."

Tasia breathed deeply, and then licked Natiya's neck. "Quite so," she purred, with an intense look at the other woman. "I like you better already..."

[Cerillium]

Klaus cleared his throat and pressed the intercom button. "Mr. Neil, Miss Gretta, are you in? We'd all like to return to normal or, failing that, some grooming tips." His voice reflected his own sense of calm. The "land shark", as Bran called it, was easy enough to handle. He'd throw it a human. Or Hans. Or both.

Chrys' mention of spam reminded Hans that he hadn't eaten since the episode in Japan. He sighed and resumed his favorite pastime - licking Katya's face.

[The BranRiech]

The scales on Natiya's face turned a bright red, and what feathers she had, were standing on end nervously. "Uh, heh, really?" She stammered. She'd never rolled that way, and being a conservator didn't really change that about her (Well, it might have, but she'd never admit something like that). "W-Well, where do we go for a meal? I'd like some steak or something."

It was a sloppy subject change, but it had gotten a bit awkward.

--

"Thank you!" Rachelle grinned at Torii, pacing around the room now. It was still a cool feeling though, being something that had been extinct for millions of years, or so she thought before coming to the apartment.

[Tiltjuice]

Luce raised an eye crest at Klaus' mention of the grooming tips. Looking neat was important, true; he poked himself mentally for forgetting it.

At the sight of Hans beginning to lick Katya again, Chrys perked up and joined in. It wasn't as if there was anything else to do, really. Off to the side, Dora sported an amused look on her face.

---

"To Chaos!" Tasia declared, stopping the licking abruptly and giving a firm nod, before heading off toward the building exterior.

[Torsiedelle]

"Nothin' to it, little sister.", Torii replied to the raptor-child.

She sat down near the two, and finished her cupcake rather quickly. She wanted to show that they were good, to make the other two feel good like she was. Despite being attacked and scared, once again [she though], she thought that this a was good birthday. It was certainly better than her other ones.

She only hoped that Tsu or her sister could be there, or Gio. She was a little sad that the Nikanors weren't hone at the moment either, but she guessed that she could just tell them all later. Right now, it was just her and her favorite people.

....

Katya was about to say something, but stopped before she could say it. She had basically given up on voicing her unpleasant situation, and decided to let the raptorfied roomies keep licking her.
