Bastarache, Welcome to the Nightmare

Game Master Rysky

*sigh* I start up posting again and the site doesn't give me updates for when y'all post, sorry about that.

Yasmin notices no rays of light outside her window but the twilight she can out across signals dawn is soon approaching.

~~~

His whole body shivering as it animates at the Lamae's kiss Zeros smiles before looking around as she takes her time uncoiling around him. "Good morning, Mylyna." he coos as he gets to all fours and stretches. Afterwards he walks over the closes the door leading outside. "Rude. Someone let the fire escape."

He then goes about looking for logs, returning after searching the kitchen and succesfully finding the door revealing. "Xeros used to not care for flames, but after spending so long down in the dark it's nice." he says as he places them in the fireplace.

And then stares. He taps one of the logs. And then stares some more.

"What Xeros do wrong?" he asks himself.

Awakening, Yelenn blissfully finds herself entangled with Nalada under the covers. Gazing at the beautiful dark elf, her silver hair splayed wildly over the pillows, she bites her lip as she remembers the unbridled passion of the previous night. Brushing a lock of hair out of the Warden’s face, the Awakener leans forward, reinforcing her new title with a soft kiss. ”Good morning beautiful.”

Mylyna looked at the logs and then at Xeros' inability to light the fire. It seemed the aquatic gargoyle didn't know how to start a fire. Thinking on it she supposed it made sense since there wasn't any fire underwater. She smiled lazily at him and said, "Because you need a spark or fire to start the logs burning. Like this." She chanted, gestured, and a small spark leapt from her fingers and landed on the logs. It took a moment but they began to smolder and then burst into flames as a new fire was started in the hearth.

Nalada happily moans in her sleep while gently licking her lips. "Five more minutes, Kitten." she mumbles before pulling Yelenn closer to her.

"... wait." she adds after licking her lips some more, a silvery eye finally opening. Spying her hero in front of her the drowsiness is replaced with a smile. "For a moment I thought it was all a dream. I'm glad I was wrong."

~~~

"Oh!?" Xeros lets out when Mylyna explains how fire works, turning to her in interest, an interest that turned into rapt attention as she moved and incanted sensually and sibilantly. The birth of the flame broke his trance as he jumped and turned his full attention to the logs. As the fireplace was filled anew he started jumping again in excitement, chipping the tiled floor as his earthen body landed. "Mylyna can make fire? What else can Mylyna make?" he happily asked as he trotted back over to quickly snuggle the Lamae.

"So am I" Yelenn replies with a smile of her own. "Welcome back to the waking world.....gods your eyes are stunning. "

"It's good to be back," Nalada says as she raises a hand to gently hold Yelenn's face. "Thank you, Kitten. Your's are quite lovely as well, like a pleasant morning mist. Soothing. The first human ones I've ever really gotten to look at actually. I take it you've never seen a Drow's before then?"

"No I haven't actually." Yelenn says with a smile, running her hand along Nalada's side. "I've read legends about the drow but never in person. Stories and paintings don't even come close/"

After cleaning up for the morning, Yasmin slips out of her room and goes to look for some food. She checks to see if anyone else is up and about or if they're all sleeping in (or doing other things in their rooms).

Mylyna laughed at Xeros' display at her spell starting the fire. He was kind of like a big puppy just then, fascinated by what she did, but given he'd lived his whole life underwater it came as little surprise to her that he would be entertained.

When Xeros returned to her embrace she moved her coils to wrap around him again as she considered what else she could do. "Hmm, I can cast charms and short curses on people, I can overwhelm people with unnatural lust," she smiled wickedly, "and I can f~~~ really well."

Yasmin swings by Mylyna's room and raps on the door. "Mylyna?" she calls from the other side. "I'm going to try to scrounge up some breakfast, I can bring you something if you like."

"Hmm, they rarely do," Nalada purrs back.

~~

As Yasmin walks the halls she hears some intermittant snoring coming from the room of the aristrocrat, mosat likely brought on as this was the ifrst night she's had an actual bed in awhile.

~~~

Mylyna and Xeros are in the foyer with the fireplace, not a room to themselves.

Xeros happily snuggles with the Lamae again. "You can!" he happily agrees.

Amend to Yasmin knocking on the doorjamb.

”Breakfast is food. Food good.” Xeros mumbles.

"I'll go see if I can find some eggs," says Yasmin. She spares a quick smile for the two by the fireplace before she heads to the kitchen to see what's available.

Looking through the cupboards in the kitchen Yasmin comes across a large ceramic hen. Feeling it she manages to easily unlodge the head and breast of it, revealing a nest of blue eggs tucked away.

"Huh. Cute," says Yasmin. "I wonder where they get these? I didn't see any chickens outside." She shrugs and takes a few of the eggs, then casts around to start some water boiling with an eye to hard-boiling them.

After several minutes of boiling water and eggs, during which she also toasts some bread and slices off a few pieces of ham-like substance, Yasmin heads back to the foyer and raps on the doorjamb again.

"Brought some sustenance," she says. "Going to go check on Yelenn and Nalada next. Hard-boiled eggs, some cold... maybe-ham, and some crisp bread."

Yelenn smiles, running her fingers through Nalada’s hair before leaning in for a long, lingering kiss. ”While I could very easily spend the entire day in bed….we should probably get up at some point.” she says with a wistful sigh.

"Thank you, friend Yasmin," Xeros says before taking an offed egg and tossing it into his mouth. "Yummy."

Nalada lets her eyes lightly flitter open and closed after the kiss, her brain still trying to decide on slumber or wakefulness. "At some point yes."

Yasmin leaves a platter with Mylyna and Xeros in the foyer and then goes to find Nadala and Yelenn's room. It's not too hard, as she can guess where it is in relation to her own room based on the shared wall.

She raps on the door and calls, "Morning? I have some food."

Xeros hungrily eyes the platter of food just out of reach whilst cuddling the Lamae. "Rude." he finally mutters.

~~~

"We have arrived at some point," Nalada mumbles before rising and stretching. Sliding out of bed the Drow saunters over to the door before closing her eyes and opening it. "Why thank you... Yasmin? It smells lovely" she says as she lets an eye try to peek what the Sha'ir had brought them.

Yasmin blushes slightly at the drow, then says, "Here, just let me put this tray down in your room and you can shut the door so that the light doesn't bother you." She squeezes in and does so, placing the platter on an end table. "Um, boiled eggs, some maybe-ham, toasted bread."

"We still have a day ahead of us, we need to figure out how we're going to get more food to stock this place once these are gone, and whether we need to find somewhere else to go. Plus all of the... um... business associated with the prison from which we've secured Xeros and Nalada. But that can wait until after breakfast and whatnot." With that the sha'ira bows and escorts herself from the room, gently closing the door behind herself.

"Oh, sorry to be a bother," Nalada sheepishly says as she steps to the side to let Yasmin. "That sounds wonderful," she says as she walks over to get some of the toast.

Listening and munching along as the Sha'ir spoke about future endavours she nodded, and about to speak, if not for needing more time to swallow the toast, she turned towards the door after it was closed. "Ah, I was expecting to have nice chat over the meal like last night."

Turning back to Yelenn she smiled. "Breakfast?" she says picking up the platter and moving to the Witchblade.

With the scent of food and Xeros' movements to try and reach it Mylyna finally woke up enough to start moving from beneath her coats and release Xeros as she slithered towards the kitchen. She took a spot at the table and looked at Yasmin with a pout, "Where's my food?"

Back in the kitchen, Yasmin blinks and says, "Oh, I left a platter for you back in the foyer - did Xeros scarf it all down before you woke up? Here, let me cook up a bit more."

"Sorry about that," she adds as she pulls another few eggs from the blue ceramic hen and readies the pot to boil more water. "Anyway I'll make sure next time. I'm guessing you like eggs? Maybe half a dozen as well as some of the ham? You have a lot of muscle to fuel there," she says, nodding to Mylyna's long tail.

"Absolutely!" Yelenn says, sitting up on the bed with a smile, having waved at Yasmin before she left. "I think that she might have been worried she was interrupting us."

Released from the Lamae's loving coils Xeros trots over to get the platter before following in behind Mylyna.

Entering the kitchen he lets out an indignant "No!" at Yasmin's assumption before swallowing everything the Sha'ir had cooked for them. Putting the plate on the table his nose drags him over to the cooking. "Do you need any help?"

~~

Taking a bit of ham she then holds the plate out for Yelenn. "Poor dear. Should we invite her next time?" she nonchantly asks before taking a bite.

Yelenn cocks her head to the side considering for a moment as a slow grin crosses her lips. "That might definitely cheer her up....might help with another concern of her's as well." the witchblade says with a grin, her pale skin flushing to the neck at the thought. She picks up an egg and takes a bite, quickly finding her appetite coming to life, given the energy expended last night.

Nalada smirks inbetween chewing the ham. Bringing her hand back up to cover her mouth when she finally swallows and opens her mouth she asks "Is something troubling Yasmin? Aside from the current situation we are all in that is."

She then takes another bite.

"It isn't really my place to tell the details," Yelenn answers as she eats some of the toast. "But she's had an experience with a possible outsider that left her a bit... wounded perhaps....emotionally."

Nalada stops mid chew as her eyes slowly open completely, focusing on the the Witchblade. "... oh?" she simply replied.

She put the rest of the ham back on the platter and resumed chewing, "IIf you'll excuse me kitten." With that she turned and left the room.

Eye twitching as she tried to keep them open the drow followed the sounds into the now occupied kitchen. "Good morning everyone," she happily greets the others before making her around Xeros to give the Sha'ir a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you for breakfast, kitten.'

"Oh, uh, you're welcome," says Yasmin. She accepts the peck on the cheek stolidly, without much reaction. "Sooooo... what's on our agenda for today? We have a lot to explore, I think."

she didn't put anything on before leaving the room did she?

Nope.

Nalada nods. ”I know nothing of this place so I shall defer to you and Yelenn on what to do.”

Yelenn smiles as Nalada heads out to the living room, very much enjoying the view of her walking away. After eating a bit more, the magus takes a deep breath and heads out of the bedroom, not bothering to get dressed. A part of her felt a bit of a thrill being so bold, but three of the people who were likely to be up and about outside had seen her naked by now, and besides, society had cast them all aside, they would live as they pleased. "Good morning eveybody."

When in rome

”Good morning, Kitten,” Nalada calls back with a slight smile. ”I was just thanking Yasmin here for making breakfast for us all.”

"Yes, It's delicious Yasmin." Yelenn says with a smile pf her own.

"Thank you," she says with a bow of her head. "I just have to figure out how we'll get more supplies if we're going to stay here any length of time!"

"I see we've adopted this house as a rather personal space, hmm?" she says, eyebrows arched. "Do enjoy yourselves. Once Mylyna's had enough to eat I'm going to see if we can get some more exploring in, or maybe just a short trip away from the town to see if I can find anything else unusual or interesting. Not that I want to get in trouble, but unless this cupboard refills itself by magic, we'll have to figure out something."

"That is a concern." Nalada agrees.

At the pointed remark the Drow smirks. "Is that now what houses are? Speaking of," she starts before leaning forward, placing her hands on the Sha'ir's shoulders. "Me and Yelenn discussed, and we would be delighted if thee wished to share an evening of company with us."

"Now what's this about a town nearby?"

Just noticed the typo, supposed to be "not".

Yelenn smiles, her cheeks coloring slightly as she nods her agreement.

Mylyna was about to shake her head and say that Xeros didn't eat the whole platter...yet, but the gar came in and defended himself personally. She Blushed slightly at Yasmin's compliments of the amount of muscle in her tail and said, "That sounds great! Ham, eggs, yay!"

Mylyna waited impatiently for her food to be done while Xeros scarffed his down. It was around then that Nalada appeared and gave Xeros a kiss on the cheek. Mylyna pouted at the drowess and asked sulkily, "Where's my kiss?"

She kisses Yasmin.

Nalada chuckles. ”My apologies, Kitten.” Turning from Yasmin she deftly moves to kiss the Lamae on her forehead. ”Did you sleep well?”

Mylynna was pleased when Nelada came over to her but wasn't content with a kiss on the forehead. Instead she tilted her head at the last moment and planted her lips quite firmly against Nelada's. Once she was satisfied with the kiss she broke off and said in a pleased tone, "Yes, I did." Her food before her now Mylyna tore into it voraciously.

"Mmm?" Nalada lets out when Mylyna pulls her trick. When kiss ends she taps a finger on the Lamae's lips. "Naughty kitten."

Smiling as the Seductress turned her full attention to her meal the Drow went back to Yasmin. "Did you need help with any of this?"

Yasmin says to Nalada and Yelenn, "Oh, uh... thank you, but I'm not in a good head space for that right now. Sorry. It's um... I'm just in a spot where I can't." She turns away quickly to busy herself with cleaning the dishes.

"I'll manage. I have a friendly little water sprite who's a great companion for cleaning dishes!"

”I understand, kitten. If you need anything just let us know.” Nalada replies before turning to the sink. ”Oh? Why hello there little one.”

Yasmin dries dishes while her little water elemental does the cleaning. ”No problem,” she says. ”We just ought to get the nipple brigade equipped and ready for more exploration.”

Yelenn laughs. "I think that's our cue to get dressed." she says, taking Nalada's hand to head back to the bedroom.

”Very well then.” Nalada says as she closes her eyes and lets Yelenn lead her back to their room.
