She playfully nudged the little human, “So what if they do? There’s nothing wrong with two beautiful women enjoying companionship with each other…” Kelania asked, dropping her tongue to a sensuous whisper with the last few words. Her smirked turned playful as her hand moved to grip Sophia’s own hand, allowing their fingers to press close to one another. She had noticed the stares of the other humans, who did not seem to be as easily fooled as this little human. But Kelania gave them an intense look, filled with anger, which caused them to avert their gaze and continue on. She then levelled her smile back at Sophia as she lead the human towards the hotel in question. Ten minutes later, as she had promised, they were standing outside of a hotel. It looked old, built in the style of a Victorian Manor house which was unusual considering the fact that Blackberry Falls had not been around for that long in the history of the world. The bricks were tightly locked together, and were a light brown in colour. The windows were tall and narrow, the glint of the winter sun reflecting off of them blocking out any view from within. The roof was made from a grey colour slate, and the two of them could see thick chimneys made from the same stone as the walls of the Manor. Thick vines, brown and dead looking, clung to the building giving it an almost diseased look. “Looks like a perfect haunted house, does it?” Kelania asked with a giddy looking grin. Without even waiting for an answer, Kelania practically dragged her up to the black heavy wooden door. With her free hand, she grabbed the doorknob and turned it, causing a hollow clanking sound. She then pushed it open to reveal the dim insides of a small hallway. Kelania said, “I want to try the basement, first. That’s where I heard most of the rumours… but we’re going to need to sneak past the receptionist, first… are you sure you don’t want to back out now?” Her question was asked cleverly, appealing to the sense of adventure in Sophia. She had seemed eager to take up a dare, earlier, so Kelania hoped that her question was phrased in such a way that Sophia would once again willingly dive into the dare. Then once Kelania had her trapped, it was all over.

Right, that's the last post from me for tonight. I'm thinking after your post, Aura, that we could do a slight time skip to them standing outside of the hotel. And in other news; I finished doing Diomedes' history. It's very heavily abridged due to things such as hidden/secret plots as well as spoilers and the like. But I've done what I can.

Location: Blackberry Falls Park Time: 07:00 on a Sunday morning. Kelania could hardly believe her luck. Either this human was desperately lonely, or very easy to dupe. She let out a laugh, as if responding to Sophia’s enthusiasm, however it was a laugh of almost disbelief. Still keeping herself in character, she gave Sophia a big, wide smile, “I’m glad you’re just as adventurous as I am. This is going to be a lot of fun… Because yes, it’s a dare!” She then took Sophia’s hand and stood up, practically pulling the human up to her feet as if in a burst of excitement. “The hotel isn’t that far… maybe a ten or so minute walk from here? So it shouldn’t be too far out of your way, right?” Kelania asked, keeping that mischievous smile on her lips as she tilted her head slightly in an endearing manner, keeping her eyes glued upon her prey. She had spent months hunting for the perfect prey in Blackberry Falls and had run into one wall, after another. She had stumbled upon a perfect, sparkling gem in this one. If it was this easy to convince her to go to a strange place, with a complete stranger, then it shouldn’t be hard to convince Sophia to do what Kelania needed her to do. The succubus felt a thrill of excitement, knowing that her task was almost complete. She drew Sophia closer to her, intertwining their arms, “I’m just going to keep you close sweetheart… not only because you look and smell good, but because it’s so very cold and I think we could keep each other warm, don’t you think?” She then gave a flirtatious wink at Sophia, made bold and confident with her success with this lovely little human.

Location: Blackberry Falls Park Time: 07:00 on a Sunday morning. Kelania enjoyed the sight of her prey shivering in the cold winters morning. She could see goosebumps raising up across her skin. She tilted her head slightly, still having the pleasant smile plastered across her face. This human was definitely much easier to fool than she had anticipated. Her eyes gleamed with interest at hearing that she lived in a run down apartment. Could it be possible that this delicious little thing lived alone? This was better better and better. She pulled the warm jacket closer, breathing deep to catch the human’s sweet scent. “Oh, I’m not native here. I’m a bit of a tourist. Although, if everyone is as sweet and pretty as you, I might consider applying for citizenship. I’m currently staying in some hotel. It’s a pretty nice place.” Kelania replied, before glancing around and then leaning closer to bring her mouth closer to Sophia’s ear so that she could speak in a low, confidential-seeming manner, “Although one of the reasons I stay there was became of some rumours I’ve heard. I heard it was a haunted hotel. Filled with ghosts. I’m a big of an ghost-fan… I travel around, finding these haunted places and explore them. Do you believe in ghosts?” Kelania then pulled away with a mischievous look on her face, curious to see what her cute little human would say. She shifted a little closer so that their thighs were touching slightly as she made her smile as seductive as possible. She hoped that her little ruse would allow her to tempt this lovely creature back to this ‘hotel’ so that she could proceed with her work.

Right. I'm going to pause in writing it for a bit. I have a couple of IRL chores to do, and I'm pretty hungry. So going to try and get Temaelrin to cook something up lol Will reply to the RP after I've eaten.

Location: Blackberry Falls Park Time: 07:00 on a Sunday morning. Kelania’s smile widened even further, feeling a surge of triumphant victory as this human seemed to be completely oblivious to the fact that Kelania was not like she was. She let out a low, seductive laugh, putting a hand to her chest, “You would do that for me? That’s so sweet of you. It’s just so cold here. I’m used to a much warmer climate. Me and snow just do not get on with each other.” She said, engaging in idle chatter to help keep Sophia relaxed and pliant. Kelania reached forward, grasping Sophia’s hand to return the shake. She almost moaned at how warm and soft Sophia’s hand felt. She just wanted to pull the young human closer and just have her way with her but once again she firmly clamped down on that desire. She had a job to do. It was with much reluctance that she let go of the human’s hand. Kelania leaned slightly closer, allowing her eyes to roam up and down the soft body before her. Unconsciously, she bit the corner of her lip as her eyes became half lidded for a few moments before she drew in a breath. Damn, if she wasn’t careful she was going to lose control of herself. This little Sophia was a tempting little creature. She had to try and keep her hands to herself. If she could do just that, she would be richly rewarded for her efforts. “Your name is beautiful, too. A beautiful name for a beautiful young lady. You’re not all makeup and clothes…” Kelania said, her eyes once again roaming over the young woman, “No, most certainly not, sweetheart. Your natural beauty is stunning.” She gave a flirtatious smile, loving the way that Sophia’s cheeks seemed to glow as she blushed, adding more colour to her delicious looking skin. Kelania couldn’t help but to run a finger up Sophia’s arm, revelling in the soft feeling of the flesh, “And this skin tone… I’ve never seen such a beautiful shade. I’m envious.” She then laughed again, and pulled her hand back before it started wondering of its own accord before she asked, seemingly innocently, “Where do you live, sweetheart?”

Oh boy. This is gonna take me a long time xD Remember the hurdles? This is a very big one xD

Yeah, I'm currently writing the abridged version of his history... it's still going to be rather lengthy ^^;;

I say the same to you xD Because Diomedes can be very violent when he wants to be. And right now, he's being an irritable little shit lol

I've done it. Hopefully it's good.

Location: Blackberry Falls Park Time: 07:00 on a Sunday morning. Unknown to the quiet figure sitting on the bench, she was being quietly watched by a figure that remained half hidden behind a tree. The figure was quite tall, and her hair was a long, luxurious black colour. Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, with almond shaped blues, a small delicate nose and cupid bow shaped lips. Her eyes were blue, and seemed to glitter like ice as they continued watching the young figure. The only thing that marred her beauty was a faint tinge of disdain that twisted her lips as she looked at the cattle around her. She was dressed in a form fitting felt coat that went down to mid-thigh. Wrapped around her neck, was a red scarf that helped keep her throat warm. Her long legs were wrapped in tight fitting jeans, and her feet covered in two inch heel boots that came up to the knee. She had spotted this young human while she had been jogging along the path. So young, and delicious. She was perfect. The feminine figure smirked slightly, no more than the curve of her lips. Yes. This young human would help her, in the achievement of her goals. She looked gullible enough. It should be an easy thing to tempt her. But the figure knew she had to be careful to avoid drawing the wrong kind of attention to herself. She also had to be careful not to become so excited that she spoiled the sacrifice before she was ready. Her Masters would be angry with her if she did that, and she certainly didn’t want to disappoint them. She did not particularly like their punishments. The figure pulled herself away from the tree and moved towards the bench. She made sure that her footsteps crunched down in the snow covered ground, so that the human would not be startled. Humans were so used to be noisy. But she plastered a sweet looking smile on her face as she sat herself down next to the human. She shivered slightly, partially from how cold it was, and partially because she could sense just how young and warm this human female was. It was causing desire to well up in her, and she had to try and keep herself firmly reined in. She stretched her smile as she introduced herself, “Hey there. Sorry to just barge in on you like this, but I couldn’t help myself for such a pretty little thing like you. I’m Kelania. What’s your name, sweetheart?”

Well, I've actually already got an idea as to her approach so I honestly don't mind doing it. I have a post document up. I just have a couple of IRL chores to do.

LOL I know that feeling. I think my post ended up being something silly like ten pages long. And that was just Talivana getting up on Christmas morning and stuffing a turkey xD Right. I'll come up with something. Have the succubus approach Sophia while she's sitting on the bench.

Yes, you could do that. I don't mind doing it either way honestly.

That is entirely up to the NPC creator. If you want them to be switchable, you can but you're going to need to make that clear to other players. If you don't, don't. Some of the 'RP NPCs' that I made, such as the President are ones that tend to be RPed by either myself, or @Temaelrin. I tend to call these types "Featured NPCs" because they're owned and played by a single person. Does that answer your question?

Yeah, no, not here xD I don't see the point in creating an entire profile for a one-time use NPC. Or even an NPC that only appears every now and again such as a store clerk, or a teacher for a character that's young enough to be in school. LOL if it's a succubus, that will definitely piss Diomedes off. He loathes them xD With a passion. But that makes sense; a spell that requires a virgin 'sacrifice'. *edit* Heading off to bed now. Been up for about 20 hours now lol so I might go and pass out for a while.

You mean an NPC/Featured NPC? Yes, that's fine. I use them all the time. I did in my original opening post.

Well, considering her personality and such, I agree that it would be something unintentional. Either that idea, or she stumbled across a demonic spell book, and accidentally opens a portal or casts a demonic spell. Either way, she's going to get punished xD

Log: 001 Pilots: CMDR Neptune Mako'demeri (Me) and CMDR Wolfie Mako'demeri (@Temaelrin) Date: 02-12-3303 Time of Log start: 06:04:00 -x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- System of Operation: Paesia Galactic Coordinates: 107.59375 / -15.0625 / 130.4375 Controlling Faction: Paesia Corporation Government: Corporate Current State: Expansion Allegiance: Independent Current Population: 4,566,689 Security: Medium System Intel: Paesia (169.76 ly from the Solar System) is chosen for our bounty operations because it's a reasonably well defended system. Paesia 2, the Class III gas giant in the system has rich planetary rings with pristine reserves of metallic rings which is rich in palladium, gold, and other rare metals. This makes it a prime choice for miners looking to make a quick buck, with some honest work. But; unfortunately it also makes it a prime target for thieves, pirates and other low-life scum that want to take other people's hard earned work. The Resource Extraction Sites with High Traffic are the primary targets, and interdictions from pirates are quite common. Mission: To help and assist Paesia System Authorities in the apprehension (Read: Destruction) of all wanted felons in the Resource Extraction Site, remember TIE: Target: Scan all ships and leave those that are "Clean" alone. They're most likely miners trying to work in peace, do not proceed further, scan another target. Also: Leave System Authorities alone. If "Wanted" proceed to next step. Look specifically for ships that are scanning other ships, and aggressive/violent ships. Identify: Scan them with a Kill-Warrant Scanner, because you want to see all their bounties with all factions, not just local. This can include Alliance, Empire or Federation main factions. Once complete assess how many there are in a wing, and if it's a big ship target the power plants. If system authority is already attacking a wanted felon and you don't have time to identify; assist them. Engage: Once the K-Warrant scan is complete engage the target(s). For large targets: Not only should you target the power plants, but when the system authorities are involved - let them take their shields down, and then go in for direct to hull combat.

Wing Members CMDR Neptune Mako'demeri Ship Specs: CMDR Wolfie Mako'demeri Ship Specs: -x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- This is Commander Neptune Mako'demeri, writing down my thoughts for what has happened this day. My partner and I, Wolfie, have had some very close calls today. At some points, I thought it was almost the end of our careers. But I guess that's one of the risks of being a Bounty Hunter; your targets always shoot back and there's always the chance that when they do, you're the one going down, not them. But I'm getting ahead of myself here. Wolfie and I have always been, by nature, Night Owls. But then, is there really such a thing in Space? It always seems as if it's nighttime. Todays adventure started in the early hours of the morning. About one, or so? I can't accurately recall. For my next log, Wolfie and I are going to try and keep a more accurate time stamp. It would make it easier to remember exactly what we've been doing. The on-board computer of our ships doesn't keep a log. But again, I'm getting ahead of myself. As usual, we woke up in the place that we've come to consider our home. Ramon City, in the system of Paesia. For months, we've wondered about, trying to find a place to settle. And I think this is the place. It's a beautiful system with five beautiful gas giants. My favourite of which being Paesia 2, which is a lovely purple colour. Most of the planets have moons in orbit, and there are three stations in the system. One City station and two Orbital stations. It's cozy, but it's home to us now. Wolfie and I have had a hard time trying to figure out what we wanted to do. We've tried trading, mining, missions... but none of them were particularly profitable. And we want to try and save up our credits as we have our eyes on several ships we want to buy. An Imperial Clipper is the one we want right now. We've already achieved the Naval Rank required to buy it. We just lack the funds. And that's why we decided to turn to Bounty Hunting. This is the second reason why Paesia is good for us. Around Paesia 2, there are pristine reserves of metallic asteroids within its rings. The place is crawling with miners. And the pirates that want to take their hard worked goods. So, Wolfie and I patrol the asteroid belt looking for the opportunists that want to steal from the hard working man. So, we do our usual thing. We check our ships over, to make sure that they're in the best possible condition. Do any top-up jobs, check the fuel and do any general maintenance or even check for anything new in the shop to improve our ships. Once we're happy, we do our pre-flight checks and then we leave Ramon City and head to our destination; The rings of Paesia 2. As luck would have it, the moment we jumped in, we were surrounded by pirates. This is why we're looking at methods to properly record everything that happens. Because oh boy, things got really exciting. One of the first ships we encountered when we jumped in was a Python and those fuckers are tough! But Wolfie and I aren't weak, either. Our Vultures are fast, and they pack one hell of a punch! Our weapons are perfect for reducing shields down to nothing within moments. We just jump in with our weapons hot and BOW right in the kisser! Every now and again, we did have to come away from that chaos just so that we could sit still and let ourselves rest. That's the problem with so many pirates; your shields wear down after a while so we need to sit back and let our shields charge back up before we could go charging back into the fight. It also gives us a good chance to log everyone around us such as the miners and System Authority so that we can at least skim past them when scanning for pirates. Luckily, we are allied to the Paesia Corporation, and since they are the ones in charge of System Defence, they all turn up green on our radar. I think we spent a good couple of hours there, fighting various ships. I can't really give you an accurate list because it was so hectic and I didn't have time to note everything down otherwise I would proudfully tell you each and every ship we blew to smithereens! It didn't seem like we had been out for long, though. But we were back at Ramon City by half three in the morning. We had kicked some major arse and we were ready to hand in our bounties; Now that's a lot of money! And for only two hours of work! Kaching! Wolfie and I were feeling ecstatic! If things continued like this, then our dream of getting that Imperial Clipper were getting closer! We were feeling very bold at this point, and very confident. We refueled and repaired before heading back out to the rings, intent on making another couple million of credits. By four in the morning we had dropped out and were looking around for targets. And right off the bat, a Python! We moved in, and began our fight! Things seemed to be going well for us. We managed to get several Pythons, some Asps and Vipers! Okay, I had an incident not long after we jumped in where one of the System Authority Vessels collided with me. I wasn't too happy with that, as that automatically damaged my shields. Bastard! And yes, I screamed and cursed at him. But disaster struck us, when we had only been there for twelve minutes. We had locked onto what we thought would be an easy target. An Asp Explorer, in a wing with two Eagles. We were cocky, thought we could take them on. We were wrong. We went about things how we usually did. We would fly in close, and Wolfie would initiate the Kill Warrant Scanner so that we could get all of the bounties tied to them. I didn't need to do it, because we were both in the same wing thus I would benefit from his scan. An Asp and two Eagles didn't seem too much trouble, especially after fighting three Python's in a row. Oh boy, were we wrong. We both targeted the Asp, as generally Eagles are weak and can be defeated very easily. Not this time. As we were focused on the Asp, the two Eagles kept attacking us, draining our shields down. The moment they were down, the two little shits then began to fire missiles at us. Now, I don't need to tell you that, when you have no shields, that is bad news. Very bad news! We were helpless against those damn things! We had to score a retreat and head back to Ramon City. Wolfie was a little more worse for wear than I was, but we both had been hit. We had to run with our tail tucked between our legs. Very humiliating, to say the least. But as I said; that's the risk of this job and sometimes things can go from perfectly fine, to absolute chaos at the drop of a hat. We headed back to base to cash in what we had. Still, at least it wasn't too bad for only twenty minutes or so of work... And at least we had our lives... Once we had caught our breath, and repaired our ships we decided to go out again. This time, to be a little more wary of those damn Eagles. We fell pray to superior tactics. Pure and simple. We weren't going to fall for that again. We returned to the mining rings, intent on doing a much better job than previously. One of the first ships we encountered was a nice Anaconda. Those ships are big, and they are nasty. But they have a definite weak spot. As I mentioned about in our methodology above; you target their Power Plant. On an Anaconda, the best way to approach this is to attack them from underneath. With the powerful weapons we have on our Vultures, this can reduce their power plant to nothing, within moments. Once that has happened, they will either blow up or become completely dead in the water and are completely helpless to your attacks. We also came across some other Vultures out there. Those aren't actually that common. Certainly rarer than Anaconda's and Python's. I think this day, we only came across two or three Vultures, whereas Anaconda's and Python's were coming out of the woodworks! With System Authority helping us, it certainly did go easier this time; This time, we were doing a LOT better. We picked our battles a lot more carefully, and we always had the assistance of the System Authority. That's one of the advantages of being in a system that's reasonably defended. It makes Bounty Hunting that much easier. By the time we returned home, we had collected a fair amount in bounties; That certainly covered the repair costs from earlier. In total we had made roughly five-point-five million credits, even deducting the repair costs. That is a lot of money, for roughly five to six hours work. Bounty Hunting is the most profitable career that we have embarked on and, despite the dangers, we will keep doing it. It not only makes us a lot of money, but it's exciting to get out there and fight other ships. Honestly, the fact that I'm helping hard working miners doesn't even cross my mind. I'm after the money, and I'm after the excitement. And every time, things turn out different. We encounter different ships and it's different every time we venture out there. Despite the close call... I know I will keep doing it. I can't help it; the danger and the excitement is addicting. Well. The money helps as well. Heh. Until next time, this is Commander Neptune Mako'demeri signing off from Ramon City. Post collaborated with: @Temaelrin
