Fables #5: Tick tock goes the grandfather clock


The Story
Once upon a time…in the world of fairytales and stories, a great evil rose up known at The Adversary. The Adversary’s plan was to use his/her (the adversary’s identity is currently unknown) armies to take over all of the un-united fairytale lands. Some of the citizens (known as Fables) were able to escape through portals that lead to our mortal world (a world they refer to as the mundane where the people are called Mundy’s). Some time ago they moved to the new world and established a new place to live. They called this place: Fabletown. When making this community they all had to sign a document called “the accords” which was a binding promise stating that they could no longer hold past crimes against one another. Today they live and work around large sections of New York City…


The Characters:

Currently Called: Astra Starr
Story Origins: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Apparent Age: Late 20’s
Issues: Astra’s main issue is keeping people from knowing that she is a wishing star. She can grant small wishes to those who recognize her for what she is. Recently escaped from the homeland and trying to learn to live in this world.
Taken By: JillyHalliwell
Played By: Claire Danes

Currently Called: Max Angel
Story Origins: The Angel/Hans Christen Andersen
Apparent Age: Mid 30’s
Issues: Max drinks way too much, smokes too much, and sleeps around and among other things happens to attract children like crazy, so he tries to stay hidden in Fabletown as much as possible, so hordes of kids don’t follow him around.
Taken By: JillyHalliwell
Played By: Johnny Depp

Currently Called: Hunter Forrester
Story Origins: Hunter, Little Red Riding Hood
Apparent Age: Mid 30’s
Issues: Gets in to much trouble with his need for adventure.
Taken By: JillyHalliwell
Played By: Nathan Fillion

Currently Called: Gwen Veer
Story Origins: Arthurian Legends
Apparent Age: Mid/Late 20’s

Taken By: JillyHalliwell
Played By: Doutzen Kroes

Currently Called: Robert Wood
Story Origins: Robin Hood
Apparent Age: Early 20’s
Issues: Robin or Robert as he is now called, is a loving husband who wants nothing more than to be a father…but he’s afraid that he and his wife aren’t stable enough emotionally for a child. He has a great knack for finding trouble even when he wishes it were quiet, but he does love a good adventure.
Taken By: JillyHalliwell
Played By: Jonas Armstrong

Currently Called: Chris Hook
Story Origins: Captain Hook, Peter Pan
Apparent Age: Mid 30's
Issues: Chris is quite taken with the Deputy mayor of Fabletown but being a man with one fake hand, doesn’t think he should even attempt it. Yes, some time ago they replaced his hook-hand with a fake hand so he could blend in to the Mundy world more. He hates being on land more than just about anything. He’s a captain and feels like he isn’t treated to his station. Generally Chris Hook is a bitter and angry man.
Taken By: JillyHalliwell
Played By: Jack Davenport

Currently Called: Wendy Dee
Story Origins: Wendy Darling, Peter Pan
Apparent Age: Mid 20's
Issues: Wendy is the only one of the Darling family that made it out of the homelands. As such as she is very lonely and clings to Peter, maybe a bit too much. She just feels like she had no one else, which is mostly true. But she also is terrified that he loves Tinka and will end up with her.
Taken By: JillyHalliwell
Played By: Anna Paquin

Currently Called: Mary Lambert
Story Origins: Mary Had A Little Lamb

Taken By: JillyHalliwell
Played By: Thora Birch

Currently Called: Patrick Frogger
Story Origins: Prince, Frog Prince

Taken By: JillyHalliwell
Played By: Topher Grace

Currently Called: Sanford "Sandy" Rogers
Story Origins: Sandman Lore
Apparent Age: Mid 30's
Issues: Being a very magical being, Sandy doesn’t do much without magic…what would he do without it? Also…he doesn’t open up to many people as he is therapist for a living and others are meant to open up to him.
Taken By: JillyHalliwell
Played By: Adrian Brody

Currently Called: Marigold "Ozma" Ozbourne
Story Origins: Oz Guardian, Wizard of Oz
Apparent Age: Early 20's
Issues: Marigold/Ozma can transfer into different forms so she has a bit of an identity problem with who she really is. She also has a thing against witches (bad ones, anyway) even those that claim to be reformed. Also is crazy in love with her oblivious best friend, Dot.
Taken By: JillyHalliwell
Played By: Amanda Seyfried

Currently Called: Alana Spooner
Story Origins: Spoon, Hey-Diddle-Diddle
Apparent Age: Mid 20's
Issues: After escaping many tortures of the homeland/Adversary with Astra Starr, and making it to Fabletown, Alana was discovered to have selective amnesia of almost everything before she was taken captive. Apparently her torture was so bad mentally and physically, and even magically that she seems to have started to mentally shut down. She doesn't know any of the people who claim to have been her friends, and no one has told her yet about the love of her former life...Clint Disher...
Taken By: JillyHalliwell
Played By: Bryce Dallas Howard

Currently Called: Winter Springer
Story Origins: Princess, The Polar Bear Prince
Apparent Age: Mid to Late 30’s
Issues:
She has just escaped from the homelands where she was being kept in a cage and tortured by a witch and...her husband? Yes thats right the witch that all those years ago tried to turn her husband evil and marry him, has really succeed this time. She has just come out of the portal and is looking for someone to help her get her husband back to normal and away from that hag's grip.
Taken By: JillyHalliwell
Played By: Kate Winslet

Currently Called: David Raith
Story Origins: Beast, Beauty And The Beast
Apparent Age: Mid to Late 30's
Issues: The Beast’s curse was solidified by the rebuke of the fey so very long ago. Though the spell was broken when true loves kiss was planted upon his lips the dissolved relationship between he and Beauty weighs heavily upon his mind. Can curses return? Because of this he’s been heatedly perusing “true love” being continually confusing it with “true lust” which doesn’t bother him so much but for the prospect of turning furry again.
Taken By: KervyQT16
Played By: John Barrowman

Currently Called: Nik Cain
Story Origins: The Water Nixie/Hans Christen Andersen
Apparent Age: Early to Mid 20's
Issues: The water nixie is predisposed to kidnap children and enslave them. Though she does not wish harm to children it is the nature of her people to draw children into their web to keep their youth and beauty. Nik does her very best to ignore children lest she be tempted into another such mess of the brushes, mirrors and combs. Nik, being a water being cannot be far from water for too long a period (a week would kill her) and is constantly struggling to remain hydrated which the Mundy lotion helps greatly with.
Taken By: KervyQT16
Played By: Keira Knightley

Currently Called: Oliver Swift
Story Origins: The Western Wynde, The Four Winds
Apparent Age: Early to Mid 20's
Issues: Oliver feels propelled into constant movement. It’s often he doesn’t finish what he starts as he’s distracted easily. Oliver is fairly comfortable in the Mundy world, enjoying besting Mundy’s in races on foot. He was a qualifier for the British National Team for the Summer Olympics when he was sixteen, he’d have placed first if he’d not been distracted by a decidedly green piece of track to the left of his lane. Oliver is also susceptible to the lull of a good tune (which once got in him a lot of trouble with the Pied Piper many years back) since his origins come from 16th century folk song.
Taken By: KervyQT16
Played By: Charlie Cox

Currently Called: Marian Wood
Story Origins: Maid Marian, Robin Hood
Apparent Age: Early 20's
Issues: As a handmaiden to Eleanor of Aquitaine Marian learned early on that women were not subservient to men and that the keen mind and good sword arm of a woman could easily defeat those who stood in their way, regardless of sex. Marian is very headstrong and feisty and own thinks before she acts. She’s landed in Mundy jail for small offenses and protesting there and because of that stays more closely to Fabletown than ever before. She loves her husband Robin very much, even after all these years, but his strong history of generosity and athletic prowess have caused her to become a bit reckless through no fault of his own.
Taken By: KervyQT16
Played By: Lucy Griffiths

Currently Called: Lawrence "Loki" Lightener
Story Origins: Norse Mythology (Loki, God of Lies)
Relationships: TBD
Apparent Age: 40’s
Issues: Loki the “lye-smith” has made a dangerous bargain. In turning to the Fables for sanctuary from his other godly counterparts (who want nothing more than to shackle and chain him) he’s essentially depowered (but for natural wit and his sole retain ability to shape shift into any person he sees) himself and found no way back into Asgard he is the only one of his ilk to lose his story completely. Loki’s survival is completely dependent on his ability to use his particular talent for lying, cheating and changeling appearance – there is no strength of tale to revive him should he die. Loki is now mortal. He is all about the Adversary, all the time, for his best hope of survival is at the hand of someone as ruthless (and less mortal) than he is.
Taken By: KervyQT16
Played By: Rufus Sewell

Currently Called: Annalise "Anne" de Monroe
Story Origins: The Little Match Girl
Apparent Age: 20's
Issues: Although having died at a young age after being found frozen to death in an alley, the adversary had brought her back to life with an intent to take finish off those who reside in the Mundy world. She doesn't have much of a memory of her former past, except for the memories leading up to her death. Why the adversary had brought back someone who was known for her matchsticks was a mystery to her since she felt she couldn't provide a lot for them. Maybe it's the fact she could blend in with the crowd? Annalise wasn't exactly sure.
Taken By: ~+Yamiko
Played By: Emily Browning

Currently Called:
Adrian Crane
Story Origins: The Pied Piper
Apparent Age: 30's
Issues: Although his days of seducing youths and ladies with his flute are far from gone, he had simply gone in to hiding ever since he had been unwittingly accused of being a spy for the Advesary, despite his knowledge of what has been going on in recent events. Very few fables know where he still resides to this day, being in an underground small studio. His reasons for being in Fabletown, however, aren't to do the adversary's dirty work, but to find Astra, the one who thwarted his plans many years ago during one of his routines. Truth is, however, there was more than just those plans of finding her.
Taken By: ~+Yamiko
Played By: Tuomas Holopainen


Currently Called: Lyssa Rivers
Story Origins: Little Red Riding Hood
Apparent Age: Early 20's
Issues: Even after the events of her and her grandmother being attacked by the wolf, Lyssa continues to seek therapy, which doesn’t seem to be going well. As friendly as her therapist is, at the end of the day, she wonders whether or not the doctor gets what she was saying.
Taken By: ~+Yamiko
Played By: Brenda Song

Currently Called: Violet Cassidy
Story Origins: Snow White
Apparent Age: Early 30's
Issues: Having divorced once again from numerous men who claimed to be "Prince Charmings", Violet tries to distance herself from other relationships for the time being by running her own bar in the heart of the town. The idea, unfortunately, contradicted herself as it only led her to coming in contact with them, especially with one certain person who seemed to have stood out from the rest. She still has an aversion to anything that dealt with combs and apples.
Taken By: ~+Yamiko
Played By: Zhang Ziyi

Currently Called: Dorothy "Dot" Angliss
Story Origins: Dorothy, The Wizard of Oz
Apparent Age: Early 20's
Issues: Dorothy is usually taken advantage of by people. This happens alot because she's very naive and somewhat gullible. Which is why sometimes she's oblivious to things happening around her.
Taken By: shadow kissed
Played By: Kristen Stewart


Currently Called: Clinton “Clint” Disher
Story Origins: Dish, Hey-Diddle-Diddle
Apparent Age: Mid 20’s
Issues: After running away with his lover and finding out shortly after that cows don't really jump over the moon (metaphorically speaking) because his girlfriend, Alana, died, he's resigned to being single for the rest of his life. He's lost the only woman he has ever loved. He may be confident in his demeanor, but things like this make him sensitive.
Taken By: shadow kissed
Played By: Chris Evans

Currently Called: Glenda Wandler
Story Origins: Glenda, The Wizard of Oz
Apparent Age: Late 20’s
Issues: She's a very good person because she grants people wishes and she's great at making people happy, but sometimes she feels she's not appreciated for it.
Taken By: shadow kissed
Played By: Kristen Bell

Currently Called: Tinka Bell
Story Origins: Tinkerbell, Peter Pan
Apparent Age: Early 20’s
Issues: She always has a knack of always choosing the wrong guy to fall in love with. They are either in love with someone else or they're jerks. She sometimes wishes that she can fall in love with a guy who would feel the same about her
Taken By: shadow kissed
Played By: Blake Lively

Currently Called: Hamish Dickson
Story Origins: Humpty Dumpty
Apparent Age: Mid 30’s
Issues: Hamish did something really stupid one day. He sat on the balcony of his third story apartment and he sat on the ledge and since he was entertaining guests, he decided to be cocky and lean back. Little did he know he was going to fall off. He did and he was rushed to the emergency room. The doctors thought he wasn't going to make it, but he came out of his coma about a month ago and is doing better, even though he can't remember much about what happened.
Taken By: shadow kissed
Played By: Eric Mabius

Currently Called: Linny Smalls
Story Origins: Thumbelina
Apparent Age: Late Teens
Issues: Having a bit of a time adjusting to being 'regular sized', and may come off as mildly psychotic to some in the Mundy world when she insists on jumping on every. single. piece of furniture when she enters a room, playing with anything that seems remotely interesting, and generally acting like a hyper-active five year old. Despite this, she's actually rather mature for her age and is quite the house-keeper.
Taken By: dreamboat
Played By: Natalia Vodianova

Currently Called: Alice Carroll
Story Origins: Alice, Alice In Wonderland
Apparent Age: Sixteenish
Issues: Became addicted to hallucinogenic drugs shortly after arriving in Fabletown – her way of venturing back into Wonderland and escaping the horribly depressing drudgery of the Mundy world. Has a bit of a time making money to pay for her habit, thus resorting to stealing and pawning objects to get her fix. Inevitably feels horrible about it during brief periods of sobriety and isn't quite the bright, sunny young child she used to be, back in her own fable.
Taken By: dreamboat
Played By: Gemma Ward

Currently Called: Hayden Cutler
Story Origins: Hansel and Gretel
Apparent Age: Around 11/12
Issues: A rather morose, reserved child with severe abandonment issues brought on by his parents ditching him and his sister in the woods of his own fable. Arriving in Mundy's, without accompaniment by his sibling, only worsened this condition. Barely talks, doesn't trust anyone (particularly adults), and has a severe phobia of forests, sweets, and small, enclosed spaces.
Taken By: dreamboat
Played By: Hero Fiennes-Tiffin

Currently called: Jasmine Frost
Story Origins: The Polar Bear King
Relationships: Enemy of Winter Springer, the rest TBA
Apparent Age: early thirties
Issues: After enchanting the Polar Bear King Valmont, she has come to Fabletown to kill Winter, although that will be easier said than done.
Taken by: shadow kissed
Played by: Stana Katic

Currently Called: Ella Cohen
Story Origins: Cinderella
Relationships: TBA
Apparent Age: Early 20's
Issues: Ella has let her step-mother and sisters take advantage of her since she was child. She has a way of standing in the corner doing what she is told rather than sticking up for herself.
Taken By: TeamLaFox
Played By: Kenzie Dalton

Currently Called: Philip Price
Story Origins: Prince Charming, Sleeping Beauty
Relationships: TBA
Apparent Age: Early 30's
Issues: After being in love with a woman for years she got into a horrible accident and ended up slipping in coma. She never came out of it and Philip finds himself struggling to move on.
Taken By: TeamLaFox
Played By: Adam Gregory

Currently Called: Isabelle
Story Origins: Beauty and the Beast
Apparent Age: early to mid twenties
Issues: Happily ever after didn’t last forever for this princess. What the fairytales neglected to mention was that the real beast had a bit of a wandering eye…and wandering hands for that matter. After catching her husband with another woman, Isabelle pretty much disappeared from the Fable’s social scene. These days you can catch her running a used book store and volunteering to read to children at the local nursery school. She wants a husband and children, but after having her heart crushed by her husbands infidelity, she isn’t going to trust anyone easily. She’s a quiet shy book worm with serious issues with men.
Taken By: Angelus’sslave
Played By: Summer Glau

Currently Called: Rowen Nevermore
Story Origins: Edgar Allen Poe’s The Rave
Apparent Age: mid thirties
Issues: Rowen is considered a bit…odd by those who don’t know her. She is not crazy, just…quirky. She has avery few relationships as her social skills are a bit off. She works best with other former animals.
Taken By: Angelus’sslave
Played By: Juliet Landau

Thanks for the new thread Kris

Love the OP so far

Here's some reposts from the last thread just to get the ball rolling.

Quote:
Annalise
"And I suppose I'm the girl you want screaming and begging for mercy." When Loki made a comment on how cute Annalise's smile was, the smile quickly dropped. Sure, she had a smirk or a grin now and then but they were for different reasons.

When Loki had gotten to the part about massaging her back and that she had to take her clothes off, Annalise felt as if she had been punched in the gut. Had it not been for that stupid contract the two had with one another, Annalise would have out right kicked Loki out of her house.

Then again, the way he had been kissing and touching her the past five minutes had put Annalise in a state of mind that she had never been in before. For that brief moment, she found herself in a relaxed state, a kind of feeling that she had never been in before.

With one hand, Annalise reached up and placed it atop of Loki's head. Letting out a groan as he kissed her on the neck, she spoke. "You know, it's easier to stop now before we both get in to a situation we wouldn't want to be in."

She made an attempt to make it sound as if it were a tease but in her mind, even she could not help but feel a bit nervous on where this would eventually lead up to with Loki.


Adrian
He looked down at the little boy for a few more minutes, not exactly sure what he should do. If the two had met back in the homelands, there was no doubt that Adrian would have killed Hansel, along with the kid's sister Gretel. The kid before him, however, remained quiet, apparently untrustworthy of the Pied Piper.

He would have been more than willing to let the kid be on his way, but there was the possible chance that the child before him may remember the route back to where Adrian lived. Something that he wasn't looking forward to.

"I'm going to ask you again. Do you know where you live little child?"
Quote:
Glenda
Glenda felt bad about being out for so long. Maybe if she had woken up earlier, she may have seen him coming. When Oliver told her about Astra being trapped, she wished she could do something to make sure she was safe, but she couldn't. Oliver loved Astra and Glenda had to respect it because she was his best friend and Astra was her friend in a way anyway.
"Oh no!" she exclaimed horrified. "I really hope they don't do any harm to her. I hate to be here, but I wish that we were all in the same cell so Astra wouldn't have to be alone."
She wanted to hold on to Oliver in his time of need. Hold him and never let go. They were both vulnerable being trapped and they only had eachother.

I just edited everything in so the gang is all here. Crap that took a way longer time than I originally imagined it would. Do you think we should but profile forms and Pammie's rules in there too, in case anyone might think of joining? I sent Em a really detailed game synopsis but now I can't find the thing. Boo Hiss.

Re-edited the opening post. The synopsis might be in the first Fable game that was started about two years ago.

Loki
He loved a challenge as was evident in his perusal of Annalise who up until now showed only a passing interest. She was more pliant at the moment, true, but he chalked that up to being untouched for so long that it was simply a physical response. This was a little more than a challenge; it could be an ego crusher.

He scowled, still kissing her neck but this time, with eyes closed. In theory, seeing as she was responding to his ministrations, going so far as to touch him now, he could take this whole session further, go back on his word. The fact that this would make him monstrous didn’t bother him. He’d proved to be little better than that in past situations, he’d even paid for such trespasses by suffering years in agonizing pain. That hadn’t changed his nature at all – if anything it added a healthy need for revenge on top of his other less than stellar qualities. It did bother him that he might break his word, though. That was pristine, milky white, sure he lied (it was after all his occupation of choice) but he never gave his word along with those lies. It was a very thin tightrope to walk, but he managed.

“You don’t want to do it, fine,” He stopped massaging her, kissing her, skirting her touch with an agile step. “I was right the first time,” he said, having regained his smile. “You are frigid,” he shrugged, buttoning the shirt back up. “Excuse me; I’m going to going out to find a woman which is something you’ll never be. I’ll be back later. I expect the door be left open for me seeing you promised to be nice to me and you’ve failed marvelously so far,” he stared at her for a few moments waiting for retort. Some men when overcome with lust took cold showers, Loki just got meaner than usual.

Oliver
His eyes felt heavy. He’d barely slept in the cell, in too much pain, or too angry, or too worried. “I can’t do anything for her,” he said bitterly. “I bet on the fact I could save you and she could save herself.” Oliver shook his head. “I wished on her,” he admitted in a voice just above a whisper. “With all that happened to her in the Homelands that’s got to be an insurmountable act of betrayal,” His was surprised to feel his eyes filling with tears, how stupid and how selfish. “I’m going to loose her, and why shouldn’t I?”

Reaching out a shaking hand to Glenda, he smiled. “Promise me I’m not going to lose you,”

OOC: Sorry for the crappy skip info. But I think most of our storylines have been kind of completed already. By the way, I'm not sure where to place Violet so if anyone wants to talk to her.

Skip Info: It's been three weeks since several of the Fables have gone missing. With those missing, this has sent some of the others over the edge. The only witness not connected with the adversary (Lyssa) who had been through the ordeal isn't quite in the right mind to talk about what had exactly happened or who was involved as her only food source had given her violent hallucinations that render her state of mind. David has been making plans to visit certain places in regards to the portals.

Lyssa
Had it been several days? Weeks? Lyssa felt she lost track of time as she sat up on what she assumed to be a bed. Sandy had dropped her off to the mayor's penthouse (or at least according to Sandy) to be under Marian's care while he sought to find out exactly what was it that caused Lyssa's hallucinations. She remembered the voices exchanging conversations with one another, mostly of Sandy emphasizing to her that Lyssa's blindfold should not be taken off under any circumstances.

Most of the time, Lyssa was in the bedroom, mostly silent. Occasionally she walked out and about, feeling the walls around. By now, she could memorize how to head for the adjacent bathroom but someone usually assisted her in the shower, passing the necessities such as the shampoo, conditioner, wash cloth and soap behind the closed glass curtain.

Someone brought her supper twice a day, sometimes attempting to make conversations with Lyssa. Conversations sometimes led to silence on Lyssa's end due to the awkwardness of someone else other than Sandy having spoken to her, or in her episodes, sounding like a wolf ready to attack that she would easily flinch and tremble.

So far, she had suffered a violent episode on her first day in David's place. It was after someone (she was not sure who it was) came in to talk to her. Lyssa's blindfold had loosened and just as she was about to tie it, the blindfold had slipped, revealing what she assumed was a wolf staring at her. Easily scared, Lyssa had screamed, beaning an alarm clock that nearly struck the wolf. If that was not a worst nightmare, she remembered several wolves running in to the room where she was to restrain her.

To Lyssa, her screams and cries were easily drowned by the sight of the wolves ready to feast on her, snarling, as they pinned her down to the bed. With her kicking and screaming, they had tied both Lyssa's arms and legs to each post of the bed before feeding her something to put her to sleep.

Even after all this time, Lyssa could not quite recall that particular memory that was often hazy and blocked from her mind that she had wanted to tell Sandy. Other than her own fears, there was a deep sense of guilt she had for her doctor and possibly her only friend. All those years of seeking help from her wolf problem and just when their next session could have possibly helped her cope with what happened back at the homelands, all of that had changed.

She sat a little more straight up when she heard the door creak open and footsteps walking in. Her fingernails scratched the wooden dresser, wondering who it was.

Or more likely, who was ready to kill her next.

Tag: David


Annalise
Sleeping on her bed, the last three weeks were, in the most cliche of terms, a roller coaster. With this so-called binding contract that Loki had roped her in, which she had to be "nice" to him for those three weeks, there were many times when Annalise was ready to crack and back out of the contract. Not that she had told Loki about it.

For the first several days, there were tensions that rose between the two. Annalise didn't seem to be giving enough to Loki and his ridiculous demands. Loki fired back in getting to her emotionally by saying that she could never be a woman, given the way that her reactions to his intimacy were stagnant.

Of course it was difficult to react how a typical woman should. Annalise had lived once, died once, and since being brought back to life by the Adversary, had felt what one could consider an empty shell. Perhaps if she had been alive throughout the whole time, the situation might have been a bit different. Maybe she might have been willing to accept the way he was on about her. One can never tell.

All the kissing, hugging, and even daresay the removal of clothes (though the furthest she had put up with was revealing a corset she sometimes wore and keeping her pants on) was something she would always resent Loki for making her do. Strange enough, as the thought left a bitter after taste on the tip of her tongue, Annalise found a sense of relaxation and freedom when he was "teaching" her a thing or two.

Not that she could ever be as good as Mary. But it did give Annalise some useful pointers the next time she goes after her target.

But upon hearing the all too familiar footsteps approach her side of the bed, Annalise did not open her eyes. Pretending to still be asleep, she turned over and covered herself with her blanket.

Adrian
Adrian sat on the couch, looking down at Oliver's phone that he confiscated. Only twice within the three weeks did he make a call to David regarding what was going on with Oliver. If one thing was for certain, negotiation is next to impossible between the Pied Piper and the Beast. The mind games were fun, no question about that. But even Adrian could not help but wonder what exactly has David got on his mind.

He took a quick glance at Nik in the tall fish tank, who seemed oddly happy as usual. Adrian had not told her about the fact that he had run in to Hansel at a storage unit further down the alley. That was bound to give her ideas. Ideas that might build her hopes up a little too much, only to watch them pop like a balloon.

Adrian had just finished dressing up Astra after she had gone to take a shower (under his flute's influence), complete with the obligatory rope binds and blindfold. But instead of tying her to the chair as usual, she placed her beside him on the couch, with her body curled up and her head rested upon the headrest to give the impression that she had fallen asleep.

Although he had visited Oliver last week, he was always in a debate on whether to send Astra in his place under the influence of his flute to see how his emotions would react. Granted that Astra was a wishing star and that Oliver could use that to his advantage...tsk.

"You seem pretty happy in there." He said to Nik without so much as turning his head to face her. Adrian had gotten used to Nik's presence overtime, but even her unusual bouts of happiness and ignorance had a habit at times of making his situation rather awkward to say the least.

I knew that was the one. I told Mandy one of your recent ones was on the last thread (or maybe the other thread)

OOC: Heh. Well, since you're around, and since Clint's open...I think I know where to put Violet for now.


Violet
The news of Fables having disappeared and are still missing was unsettling for Violet. With not having heard from Max the past two weeks, Violet could not help but feel a bit worried if he might have ran in to the ones responsible for the abductions. At the same time, another thought contradicted that worry as both she and Max had felt a sense of awkwardness towards one another with her blaming herself for the date they had gone out to. Neither of them really spoke of it when Violet spent the night at Max's house nor did she reveal to him what was on her mind.

Cleaning out the last shot glass from the counter, business was rather decent, especially for the mundys that stopped by for some liquor to keep them warm on their way home on the cool chilly night. Even the occasional flirt and fight did not seem to bother her as much. Violet found herself often caught up in her own emotions and regret when it came to the romance department, wondering if it was all too late for her to get a guy, truly, ever since her divorce with the one that claimed to be prince charming.

About to close the bar for the day, she proceeded to lock the cabinets containing the liquor when she heard the door swing open.

"Hey buddy, can't you read the hours outsi...oh?" Her sentence was cut short when she saw Clint walked in to the tavern. Violet's eyes had opened wide just a little, peering at him through the single floodlight on in the ceiling. "H-hi there." Her voice softened up.

She couldn't remember much what happened the past two weeks when she was in her drunken state but had been told by Max, who heard from Clint himself, that she had not only been mumbling things but had been throwing bottles ready to attack him. Not to mention saying things to Alana that probably shouldn't have said.

Since then, Violet had not seen Clint anywhere in town nor had he come by the bar. She was too much of a coward to call Clint at that point to apologize, unsure of how he would react.

"Did you want something to drink? I was about to close up for the day but I could fix you up something."

Loki
Loki loved showers. One of the few things he’d miss here in the Mundy world were he to actually get home was a showers. There were baths all over Asgard, with bubbles, without, in mother of pearl tubs, with waterfalls but no showers. In all of the heavens there were absolutely no showers. So, he took advantage of Annalise’s whenever he got the chance – the strong spray on his back working all those latent muscles, a quick drain, it was so refreshing.

He stood by the foot of her bed in nothing more than a towel watching her pretend to sleep. “You know, I can see you, you reached for the blanket that’s not a sleeping person reaction,” he tried not to smile, but failed. “Come on sleepyhead, we, meaning you and I in case you were wondering about the ‘we’ have something to do. It requires you be mobile. So get up, before I get in and you know what happens when that happens…”

Nik
“I am happy, sir, very happy,” Adrian’s voice could always cull her from sleep. She’d put her trust so unequivocally in him that she would do anything for him (well, mostly anything) and even the smallest inference that she should. She was so very happy. She had a home, the first real place she’d had that was hers since she’d lost the lake. It wasn’t the same thing but it was something and it was the nearest thing to beauty she could think of. “I would be happier if you would come in here, without the flute please,” she shuddered, ducking half her face back down into the water. She didn’t fear him, but that metal instrument it had something of the evil in it, she was sure. It corrupted her sir; it made him do not so good things. “If you don’t mind that is,” She flipped back into the water, sunk to the bottom and peered out with a shy smile.

(Ooc: Crap, I knew I forgot something. I have David and Marian up for any tag and Oliver for Glenda. )
