Gardsorm

Her childhood home sounds like plenty of trouble to be found. : p If we're adding potential locales to visit, then I'll need to include Dalton's home, and perhaps the place he's employed with the special operations division he works out of to deal with certain unnatural cybercrimes in the city... The hacking thing does sound kinda fun, although for semi-obvious reasons Dalton wouldn't be as keen about such a thing initially, but he might be open to it later. ^^

I was stunned to see how many pages of the OoC came up. x_x Like, I knew it had been a couple of months but I did not expect so much discussion on the possibilities for things that could be slipped into here. xD I'm slowly getting used to the slightly longer commute to and from work as well, and with colder weather setting in today, I'm starting to feel more energy to get back into things. While I was out, did we actually agree on any new additions or changes to things? Also, it was sprinkled in some pages back, but I saw mention of Troubled Youths, I think? This is more for Satai and Warning, but yes if youre both not enervated by the lack of activity there, I can get back to posting there as well so you two aren't deadlocked anymore. ^^ But yes, so far that game, and this one here are my primary focuses, then I have to get some background and plot stuff for my magical knight guy in Satai's magical girls game because the downtime has been showing me I need to take a different approach to it, and find a way into activity properly there. :3

Testing, testing, does this still work? *ahem* Okay, I'm finally back! I actually was supposed to be back and trying to get into things yesterday, but I got sidetracked by settling into new place and some administrative hangups. I see I have a huge amount of posts to look through here, but first up: Thank you very much, Satai, for being my go-between to keep people abreast of my situation, while trying to keep certain aspects a proper secret! And I apologize to everyone I left hanging due to my sudden absence back in August, it really has not been the most pleasant of times since then. It's gonna take me just a little bit to acclimate to having the privacy to write again, but I'll be resuming posting at my earliest convenience this week, in here and other clubs. ^^ An absence like that should not be happening again anytime soon. x_x

And post in. :3 Dalton's probably going to be confused about what kind of infidelity case involves showing papers and flash drives to other people ... Unless its blackmail material... <.<

'Hm, maybe we got off on the wrong foot because she was drunk... I'll apologize to Ryoko when Evi's mission is done.' Dalton assured himself inwardly as Ryoko seemed to catch his look and almost threatened to pull something else down. Damn it, why did such a nice dance have to be happening while he was trying to help Evi with her work?! ... No, this was more important, making sure the catgirl got what she needed to further the case she was hired on. Just because this club openly welcomed all forms of decadence within reason didn't mean he could shirk his responsibilities as an agent of law enforcement, even if he wasn't true police... Not that proper police often had good records as it was. When it came right down to it, private workers like Evi and him were often responsible for greater things because they didn't allow corruption to lead them astray. He had inadvertently spooked Evi with his sudden head movement, preparing himself to get hit by her tail... Or worse, kicked. But he breathed a momentary sigh of relief as she said he could do what he needed to. To many, that would hVe been an open invitation, but for him, it was a last resort Incase he needed to make sure neither of them could be accused of spying. "I'm keeping it under consideration... But I'm not interested in ruining a good partnership, however much of a trial experience it is." He admitted from between her legs. It was torture though... Being so close, seeing her lithe bottom poised before him, it was just begging for something! Even down below, a certain part of him was screaming for attention, a passive hand idly reaching down to gently pat and rub down his pelvis, grumbling. 'Your time will come, but not now.' 'Why do you talk to your phallus, Vandal? Is that a normal thing to do?' 'Graf, godsdammit! Stay on the cameras!' 'I am! I don't have your limited processing power, so it isn't like I can't do two things at once... So, why do-' 'I'm not dignifying that with an answer.' 'So your dick gets answers but not me? Is it because we haven't been that long together?' 'Ugh, seriously, not right now, you're killing my vibe.' Always at the most inopportune times did his sentient virus like to interject. Thankfully, Evi posed a question that helped distract him, a hum escaping his lips. "I'm trying to remember... I'm pretty sure it was either on television or online, but... Ugh, it's right there." He grumbled quietly, trying to track his brain for where he could have seen the woman. She was more dressed civilian-like, less like her professional self, but he was pretty sure her appearance was something others could have seen. As Evi snapped her pictures, she would catch glimpses of Julius looking left and right before reaching into his jacket to pull out... Papers? As well as a box... Wait, was he going to propose to her?! Surely that was too soon... Unless this was going on for a while now. While Dalton could not see the woman's hand, however, Evi likely had much better eyesight, and she could see a ring upon the fourth digit of the woman's hand... Signifying she was married too. Perhaps there was two layers of cheating going on, but that didn't explain the papers... More to it, when the box was finally opened, it didn't hold a ring... But instead some sort of flash drive? "What are you seeing, Evi? I don't have a good angle on the woman from here..." Not without inadvertently pushing her up a bit, at least. Even just keaning forward, Evi could feel his sheer presence inching dangerously close to her pelvis.

Heh. : p Glad to see the main bar and dance floor topic pick up again! Picked up a new game today (which I should have gotten last month, but this month is closer to something else), but I'll get my post in again before I start to sink my teeth into it.

Mweheheh, okay, finally posted! Is this simply what it looks like, or something more? Who knows!

Phew! Okay, there were fallbacks to ensure nothing went too far here. On one hand, Dalton felt the excitement almost boiling over at what could happen, but on the other side, he knew he needed to leash that excitement. This was purely business and cover... And maybe a little bit of curiosity and interest. Close enough to the stage Ryoko danced upon, it allowed him and Evi to look downbthriugh the glass floor that would allow others from down below to look up to see the dancers on stage. It might have been dangerous to them if Julius looked up, but between their activities and how close to Ryoko they were, he would surely think nothing more of it than them simply enjoying the environment. The subterfuge was reasonable from his point of view, but when it came to executing the plan, who knew what might happen ... "Okay... This position seems good, so we can- Oh!" Dalton blinked as Evi was moving faster than he expected, unclasping her belt and allowing her pants to come down easier! Moving close for a kiss mercifully allowed him to reach down and grab her pants, holding them up before they slipped down further! "Hold on, I haven't... Prepared myself yet..." He admitted quietly. Gosh, anything resembling a confident personality he might have shown her was beginning to crumble under what he believed was someone far more confident. "The heads-up is appreciated, but let's hope it doesn't go that far... I'd like to leave something for more private spaces..." Evi was going to make him dizzy, in a good way! Thankfully, something else helped distract him from what was begi to swell in his trousers. 'Sorry to interrupt the possibility of being allowed to use your fleshbag phallus between thighs like the pornos you download, but it seems like your Evi friend might be right. Her target seems to be waving down a female.' 'You having fun poking at my situation? ... Wait, what?!' Dalton blinked and pulled Evi into a huge, looking over her shoulder down at the man named Julius, who indeed seemed to be with a second drink at the bar, waving at another woman a short distance away. Dressed with a turtleneck and glasses, she didn't look like someone who belonged in the clubbing scene, but nevertheless she seemed to be approaching Julius. "Ah, get in position, Evi, looks like you might be right. He seems to be meeting a woman..." He whispered, helping to turn the catgirl around and find an ideal position to look down at Julius. Meanwhile, he knelt behind her, running his hands along her thighs, while sticking his head just between her thighs. He didn't start licking yet though, using the angle and cover to look down as well... Feeling there was something familiar about the woman. "... Why does she look familiar to me...?" He mumbled, leaning in just a bit and accidentally bumping her mound with his head. "Ah, sorry, I'm trying to get a better look..." He whispered, trusting her ears to try and capture what he was trying to convey. He looked up toward Ryoko for a moment, capturing her eyes on them... Did she know what they were trying to do? He hoped not... These were private, legal matters and getting civilians involved might have caused more trouble than not. Still, he moved a free hand to make a ring gesture with his index and thumb, as if to tell her 'thank you for setting the mood'. Hopefully it would be enough to ease any curiosities she had. Fron Evi's point of view, she could see Julius leaning in, beginning to whisper to the woman who he met as she reached for the spare drink he bought. She pushed her bag between the two of them as they seemed to set on discussing something between them, a matter made slightly difficult by being closer to more auditory disturbance from the music playing downstairs.

Finally, I'm back in action again. >.< Posts coming out slowly where they're owed, the week in passing was not great at all. Also I wanted to follow up on this, but I agree with expanding the world beyond the Garden too, and fully support the idea. : ) I brought up mentions in private and feel a greater world, or at least city, scope could help many characters in the story.

Perhaps not, but that's what makes what will probably happen even funnier. >:3 Speaking of what will happen, I've been thinking about what might actually come about if what Evi is planning to check. I have a simple approach, and one that probably makes things not as simple as they probably hoped it was. : p I still gotta work out the angles a bit though.

Good lord, Dalton is not prepared for what he believes Evi is capable of... xD

I understand that feel. : p Managed to get some game time with my father in Warframe, finally got the new spider lady assembled, and soon I'll have Titania Prime. Now if only the rest of my life would sort itself out so I could get more time and focus, but this week is gonna be a little lax mercifully, so I aim to get in a few posts through it!

"Wait, what?" The nip against his ear had already weakened him, but he could never have anticipated what he just heard. Dalton knew the idea he proposed was... Probably not easy to excuse, especially for someone new to all of this! However, it had merits for the reasons of cover, but not just anyone could easily agree with it. Yet... She agreed to it! She really, seriously, agreed to it! The blue-haired male just looked like he blue-screened for a moment as he processed the audacious catgirl so readily agreeing to his proposal! She was indomitable as someone with more experience than him! But with that experience came a willingness for him to see just how much she possessed, and how much she would allow him to experience! His easily-seen eye practically lit up with a mix of wonder and delight, but he quickly revealed himself in and cleared his throat. She was more experienced, he couldn't seem like an inexperienced brat learning from her! He needed to be more mature about this! "O-okay... So, all for the sake of appearances, I can do this. Your control over your tail is good, right? You can use it to let me know if I'm going to far, or if you need to focus. For now, let's find a better vantage point..." He nodded, moving his hand to hold hers as he helped her up, before they started to approach the bar area. Although it put them closer to Ryoko, he gave her a quick look as if to let her know to not too anything too strange. He didn't want to test if Evi would truly try to bite Ryoko like a cat or not... But the moment he saw her and realized she was topless, he lost what he intended to say and nearly stumbled into Evi. A quick clearing of his throat allowed him to compose himself, shaking his head. "Sorry, lost my footing there for a second... Okay, from up here..." He trailed off, looking down through the glass floor to see their quarry Julius, approaching the downstairs bar. The seat infront of them would be able to be leaned over by Evi, giving her a clearer view of Julius downstairs. If he was approached by any company, they could be seen from here too. "Okay, this looks like a good spot. It... Does look like he's waiting for someone, though." Dalton noticed, the man simply ordering a drink of some sort with a wandering waiter... But he seemed to be looking left and right. Either he was worried about someone following him, or he was anticipating company of some sort. Was Evi right about this whole situation? "Last chance to change the arrangement, are you sure you're okay with this? It's one thing to be as experienced as you are, but it's another to commit to something like that with others around... Especially with someone you barely know." Especially given they were also close to Ryoko now... Arguably close enough for him to touch, but he just needed to make sure she helped maintain the facade of enjoying hedonistic activities at the Night Club. Observing a dancer would easily be one more passtime enjoyed her, so without realizing it, the girl would be helping them maintain their cover. But if she tried to slip in... Well, he would probably have to take the fall and put himself in Evi's place as a law-minded operative. He had the angle figured out, or so he believed. He could maintain Evi's secret as an Investigator, and perhaps by outing himself, maybe Ryoko would choose to distance herself. 'You know, if you wanted two girls, you could just ask them...' 'Damn it, Graf, that is NOT what this is about! I'm just helping Evi with her investigation, and I'm just thinking of contingencies to protect her secret. Who knows how this Ryoko girl will act if she finds out we're both connected to investigative agencies in this city.' 'Oh, relax, you know I love teasing you, hah! Anyway .. No sign of anyone else approaching this Julius guy, but I have to wonder why he looks a little shady. You only look like that when you know you're doing something wrong, right? Think the guy really is cheating?' 'We'll find out, and if so, that'll be between him and his lady to figure out. For now... We're just waiting and enjoying each other's company '

Gets away from you easily, huh? : p Wish that was my problem this week, but work week was especially tiring, and rampant fireworks spam is triggering my irritability something fierce (doesn't help I can't sleep as much as I should). Gonna try to get my responses in while I can now!

There we go, Dally attempts an escalation and work wombo combo! Whether he regrets it or not remains to be seen. : p
