*Roland gently placed the plate down so the cub could get a better angle to feed before he gave him the bowl of water.*
Roland: You are not just my friends, you are all my family now. I have not had a proper family in so long.
*Roland gently took Ariana and sat her in between his legs, she was still giggling at the cub but not too confident to touch him yet.*
Roland: I have not seen her uncertain before. It is slightly bizarre.
*window
*sill
*comes back and grins*
Hello. Been a while.
*raises an eyebrow*
Enjoy your time without me?
Hmmm?
*looks up*
Oh, it's you...
*winks*
You were expecting someone else?
*smirks, one eyebrow raised, and saunters over to him*
I missed her....ugh. Leaving.
(Yeah, I know it's not a bomb. Rose just takes precautions.)
*She opened the wrapping paper carefully, frowning at its contents. She read the most first, as always, a pursed her lips. Then she looked at all the items inside, sitting down into the dirt.
She her eyes locked onto the gun and she slipped it into the waist band of her jeans. She'd never really used a gun, she saw no need in it, not with her abilities.
She folded the wrapping paper back up, in an attempt to carry the items back to Casha's house. Before she entered, she looked behind her, worried someone was watching her*
(I'm here. I just don't know how long for.
Hey Loki!)
(Zaffy, email. I wanna know what you think.)
*Roland was patting the cub as Ariana was still giggling.
He then gently took Ariana's two hands and gently placed her hands on the cub's fur, just behind his neck.
Ariana made an uncertain sound.*
Roland: It is okay little one. He will not hurt you. He is only a baby also.
*The cub didn't move when Ariana's hands were placed on him. He just sat there with his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Ariana giggled, but more quietly this time.*
Before we hug, I have to warn you. There's a new girl in my life. I hug her and kiss her and snuggle with her too so you'll have to share me. Ok?
*stops in her tracks*
I'm sorry what?
*She opened the door and smiled at the sight of Roland and Ariana and their pet. She wished she could stand where she was and watch them forever, but the door closed with a loud creak.
*She made her way back to Roland and sat next to him, the package in her lap*
Hey... I think you should look through this...
Exactly what I just told you.
There's a new girl in my life so you'll have to share.
Her name's Amber.
*hesitates*
Are you being serious?
Perfectly, she's around here somewhere.
*reaches into his pack and pulls out a golden labrador puppy*
Here she is.
(Awww!! That was adorable!!)
OH MY GOD SHES SO CUTE AND FLUFFY!
*rushes over and grins at the puppy*
SHE'S SO CUTE!
*plops the labrador in Sil's arms*
And, like me, she's all yours.
(Oh my god. Can you two get any cuter?!
*Fangirls violently*)
*Roland glanced away quickly as he looked at the unwrapped parcel on Rose's lap.*
Roland: What is that dear?
*He looked back down as Ariana was slowly getting braver to touching the cub. She would still back away as soon as she touched him but her touches were becoming more frequent.*
*cuddles the puppy, careful not to squash it, and laughs when it licks her chin*
Viv she's adorable!
*smiles up at him*
I love you.
(Probably not :-) )
They're all little things. They were left at the door...
*She started to pull the items out and sat them on their laps. Rose's jacket, a collar, a bracelet, a shield, a wing preener, a frost giant wooden statue, earrings, and a note saying sorry. The jacket made her pause*
The intruder... It was Sil...?
(You two.
Omg.
It's painful how cute you two are.
*Ships*)
*wraps his arms around Sil and the puppy*
I love you too.
*rests her head on his chest*
*smiles down at the puppy in her arms*
*smiles up at Viv*
So this is where you've been hmm?
*grins and strokes the puppy*
*Roland paused, amazed at everything that was wrapped.*
Roland: Wait, the vampire? The vampire I invited into the house?!
*Roland could feel himself getting angry but he knew he had to be careful so not to hurt Ariana or scare the cub.*
*She nodded, not taking her eyes of her freshly cleaned jacket*
I... I gave her this jacket... And now it's here, along with an apology letter... That means Sil was trying to kill me.
*She looked up at Roland, her eyes wide, tears starting to form*
Sil was trying to kill me!
(Oh btw the note:
Hey. Just wanted to drop by and say sorry but then I figured if I did that I'd be dead. So instead I leave these to you, by way of apology. It was nothing personal. A job. Rose will understand. A job is a job.
-TSA)
(Dankè, Tetris!)
I'm awake sorry, Zafira fell asleep.
Out and about...
Seeing people and places.
*leans back on the hammock, taking Sil and Amber with him*
(yw)
(Understandable, Loki. It happens to me all the time!)
*Roland held her face with a free hand, he pulled her closely to him so she was looking right at him.*
Roland: Rose. Calm down. She will NEVER, EVER, try anything towards you again. As long as I breathe, I swear to you.
*Ariana looked up at Rose and Roland, her fist in her mouth again. Roland gasped as he tried to find a baby wipe.*
Roland: No, no, little one. You've been petting the cub, your hand is now dirty!
*settles with him, releasing the puppy so it can lay down on her stomach*
*curls up info Viv, careful not to disturb the dog*
I missed you..
*kisses the top of her head, breathing in the sweet aroma of her hair*
Did you really?
*She looked up at him, trying her hardest to believe his words. It was hard. In the end, the tears pooled in her eyes and overflowed into Roland's hands. She turned to look at Ariana, pulling her fist out of her mouth gently and holding her arms down by her side*
Baby, no. That's gross, sweetie.
Yes.
*lays her head against his, listening to his heart beating*
*laughs as Amber trots over and plops down on Viv's chest*
(Loki, read the above comments. Just above 1/3 the way down the page. We're sticking to our original thing of having a different timeline. So that way, Rose can be with both of you.
*She cuddled Loki tightly*
Hi.)
*Roland stood, making sure Ariana was sitting back against Rose.*
Roland: You are safe with me, always. Do not fear. Just make sure she does not put her hand back in her mouth. I am just going to get wipes.
*Roland left as Ariana was patting the ground in front of her. Marrok trotted over to her and rolled onto his back, showing his belly to Ariana. She giggled at him.*
((So then I can't kill Roland? I spent all night planning how to kill him!))
*cuddles with Rose*
She's a real cutie, isn't she?
Just like someone else I know.
*kisses her again*
Did you really think I'd found someone else?
I wouldn't have been surprised if you had. After all, who wouldn't want a metal man fugitive with dimples.
*grins at him, slight dimples in her cheeks*
Especially when the only competition is a 'child"
*She smiled at Ariana an let her go. She could pin her arms down with gravity easily if the baby tried to do anything again. She rubbed the tears away from her eyes when Roland left*
Baby, did you know that this was going to happen...? Between Roland and me...? Did you know when we first met...?
---
()
*She reached up to rub his hair between her fingers*
Hey... You'll squash me, you know...
I have dimples?
*twists, trying to see his reflection somewhere*
*Ariana slowly put one hand in front of the other as she pushed her knees. She then giggled as she lay her head down on the cub's belly, listening to the way he breathed in and out.
She then cooed to Rose in response to the questions*
I barely weigh anything compared to you. *laughs* Though perhaps with what I wear, I do weigh a significant amount.
*laughs*
*hugs him once again careful not ri squash Amber*
(Zaf, when Casha was pregnant back when I first asked
Em to come back on the blog, we said out timeline was different. We had been going along a different timeline from the beginning. So if you didn't realise it, I'm sorry.
But I can still be with both Loki and Roland, okay.
Different timelines like we've been doing from the start.
That's what we're doing.)
*She cooed back at Ariana and poked her tongue out at her. She gun in her waist band seemed tone on fire. She was ultra aware of it. A gun near a baby.
It made her shiver*
()
*She stared at Loki in shock*
You barely weigh anything compared to me? Oh, great way to make me feel fat.
*She pushed herself up and away from Loki, looking purposely away from him, huffing*
You would be surprised, Rose. Zanida and I just don't....I mean probably I weigh more then you, with or without my armor, but we both have always been lighter then others. That is why Zan is able to do half of what she does. *moves over and hugs Rose tightly* I love you.
(We said that ours was a different timeline from the beginning, Zaf. It was a year and a bit more.
And what about Ricci? She was just born, now she's eight. That was a shift that could screw around with some plots, but it didn't. It'll be fine, Zaf.)
()
*She rolled her eyes and pushed him away playfully*
Whatever. Keep telling yourself that.
(I think I might go to bed now... I'll get up early if the wifi isn't off to come on here.)
(Kay Death)
Rose...*smirks* Very playful.
((Sleep if you like, Rose. I shall see you when you wake.))
(Got to go)
(Sorry I thought it had posted)
I did watch the Ice Bucket Challenge Tom Hiddleston did.
Zaffy had to tweet him because I'm so happy he did it, I lost my uncle to ALS and so seeing someone famous and who is AMAZING do the challenge just made me happier, I mean that disease is a death sentence, they gave my uncle a year, and he died in about a year. There isn't a cure or anything. It kills you....
-Zaf
(Bye then Zaf)
(Zaf wanna rp?)
(*facepalm* bye then VIV not Zaf.)
Sure Sil. Sorry gerbils needed food.-Zaf
(that's fine Zaf. I thought you'd just got offended at me saying bye Zaf and left XD)
*sat in the clearing juggling knives*
(Hello.)
Nah, my tiny cute pets were hungry xD-Zaf
Thor: *is sitting with Zanida, holding her close* Does that not scare you, Silente?
Zanida: Hi...*winces, still in a lot of pain*
(Hello.)
*looks at Thor and Zan, still juggling*
Hey. Scare me? Why would I be scared of my own knives?
*pulls out a different knife and adds it to the twenty or so already in the juggling circle*
*stays away from the knives*
*strides through the clearing, heading for Zafira's treehouse*
(Hey Aretha! How are you?)
Don't be scared Leri. I won't hurt you.
*smiles at her*
(Hey Ari!)
((Hello! I'm well, thanks. How are you guys?))
((OMG ARETHA!!!!-Zaf))
Zafira: *is sitting outside, working on paperwork*
Zanida: Juggling knives...oooh!!
(I'm good thanks Ari! Got a slight sore throat and a tickly cough but otherwise fine.)
*smiles at Zan*
You any good at juggling Zan?
*isn't looking at the knives at all, but keeps juggling*
*starts doing fancy tossing and what not with the odd knife*
Zanida: I cannot juggle, well currently.
Thor: Remember, we heal faster, but Zanida has several bones broken, she will need a while before she's her usual self. *the more Sil can look, Thor is letting Zan lean against him, since her own body weight would hurt if she sat herself up*
*approaches Zaf, standing near her* Hi, Zaf. Is this a good time to talk, or should I come back later, when you're less busy...?
... It's not you I'm worried about... it's the knives...
Zafira: *puts down the file, and smiles at Ari's voice* We can talk, I'm just working on stuff for tomorrow. *she stands and walks closer to Ari* What do you wish to talk to me about, I'm all ears.
*nods*
You're lucky to have escaped those chains
*throws one knife up before blindly catching it and re-entering It with the juggling*
Most in your case would be dead. I know I would. Has Astrid not healed her yet? I can give it a try if you want?
*sees Thor*
... Who is this?
That's Thor. And Leri the knives won't hurt you while I'm in control of them.
Thor: Astrid did heal her, but she wants Zan to let her bones set properly, which probably tonight they'll be finished and Astrid will heal them fully.
Zanida: It's not too bad, I mean...I've also got a few bruises from when Hulk smashed me.
Thor: Apparently Banner likes to smash Frost Giants, first Loki and now Zanida.
Hulk? The big green dude? Ouch.
*smiles* Thanks. I just figured it was a good time to discuss my name- I think you've figured out that War stole it.
... Who is Hulk?
Hulk is a super muscly big green dude. He comes out when Banner gets angry.
... Who is Banner?
Zafira: Yes, I figured it out when Alastair used your magic on one of the Asgardians. I don't really know what to do, I mean you don't have a true name, and Alastair has that mame now, so what are you thinking of doing?
Zanida: Yup, also known as Bruce Banner. Smashed me for helping Loki break Rose out of a SHIELD detention area. I don't like Coulson, he shot a big weapon at Loki.
..let's just say he's a man who gets angry and turns green.
... So I should avoid him?
I can't possibly imagine why anyone would shoot a big gun at Loki.
*starts sheathing the knives she juggling until only three remain*
((Sil- priceless desctiption, and remember
"You fell from the sky, big and green, and buck-ass naked."
-Zat
..not necessarily just avoid making him angry.
Thor: I would have.
Zanida: Thor!
Thor: *laughs, and kisses her cheek* Calm down, I am kidding.
Zanida: Leri, I would avoid Banner at all costs. Being the smashee is not fun.
I've been fine without it- I've just been training more intensely to improve my hand to hand combat, since that's always been my biggest strength anyway- I only ever used magic to help with it. So I'm functioning normally. But I wanted to know whether barely having any magic left impacts my position as an Elder.
... I think I'll avoid him... sounds safer...
(I never understood how Bill's shorts stayed on. Jeans do not stretch. Does his waist and butt stay tiny? Is he wearing pregnancy pants?)
*grins and sheaths the final knives*
Oh come on, Loki deserves it sometimes.
(**Hulk's not sure where Bill came from..)
... I wouldn't shoot Loki with a big weapon... but I wouldn't mind if someone else did it...
Zafira: *Is quiet, thinking of the pros and cons, and everything else needed to be an Elder* You have magic, which small as it may be, is enough to consider you a mage. I see no reason that you cannot continue to be an Elder, you probably would end up killing the assasin before they managed to get their weapon, so I'm not concerned about your ability to fight. To be honest, most Elders rarely use their maigc, so as long as you have a portion, there's nothing stopping you.
Zanida: Alright, sometimes my brother deserves it.
Thor: All the time. Sadly Mother would be upset if I borrowed a Phase Two weapon and shot Loki off of the rainbow bridge.
Zanida: Frigga would aim the gun at you, let's face it. When you were exiled, she had a go at Odin, I never heard her yell until that day.
... What's a 'rainbow bridge'?
*laughs*
Mm. Yeah.
*grins*
The mighty Frigga. I've heard so little about her.
Thor: A bridge on Asgard, it is a rainbow and it basically leads you to the Bifrost.
What's a 'bifrost'?
I, personally, don't believe that not being able to use much magic will hurt me- in fact, I'm determined that it won't. I just wanted to make sure there's no rule against it. So, thanks for clearing that up, then.
Zafira; Of course. *pauses, deciding if she should ask* Has there...been any sign Alastair might let Niccolò out?
Thor: I could always ask her to come here, Silente. Mother is alone on Asgard. *eyes Leri* I have not an answer, other then the gate between the Nine Realms.
So... you have a gate... which is a rainbow?
(brb. Gotta go 2 da shop.)
There Is no need. If she has been listening then bringing her down could endanger me.
Thor: No, the rainbow bridge leads through the city right to the Bifrost, which is the gate between the Nine Realms. As king of Asgard, I am the Protector of the Nine Realms, the Asgardian warriors will often travel through the Bifrost to other realms to help keep the peace, we often have helped the Vanir, from Vanaheim, our sister realm. Are you following?
*sighs* He's discussed it with Adra, actually, and I've been pressuring him to do it- or at least work on it. But it's going to take him a while to figure out, firstly, how to un-break Niccolò, and then how to let them both exist at once. Alastair can barely keep control of himself as is.
So you... can travel to nine places, and the rainbow is a bridge which leads you to the place where you can travel to the nine places?
Zafira: Perhaps Alastair can talk to Alexis and Aro, and I can always help. Between two powerful Sensitives, I'm sure someone can un-break Nic. At least he's thought about it. I hope Nic can come back.
Thor: Basically, yes.
(back)
Plus, I'm sure she's got plenty to do already without having to come to earth
*looks at Thor* ... Are you friends with Loki?
What would they do, do you think?
Thor: Mother may come, she really has very little to do on Asgard, and Leri, Loki is my adopted brother, so I would be friends with him.
Zanida: I'm Loki's biological sister.
Yes well, we'll see I s'pose.
*looks of at something in the different*
Hmmmmm...
Zafira: Well, they would need an idea of what Alastair did, and basically they'd work to reverse it, or even keep it blocked from Niccolò, and the names. It would all depend, I'm no expert, but Aro's powerful, and Alexis is too, she's trained hard with him. I can get Aro if you like, I kind of only know basics of their magic.
(**distance)
*looks at Aretha* ... Alastair helped me... I'm not sure that I understand what his powers are but I don't want him to go...
*turns back to the Asgardians* ... I hope none of you kill people like he does?
No, it's ok. I don't think they could do much except block the memories, and the last time someone tried that it ended horrendously. Thanks, though.
*looks, surprised, at Leri* He helped you?
Leri does have a point I mean, as much as I don't like him he is trying. He saved me from an alternate dimension...
Zafira: Maybe it could work, we can only try. I really miss Nic, I'm scared of Alastair, and he pretty much scared Zanida to death, he stole her true name.
Thor: We do not kill for fun.
Zanida: *falls asleep against Thor*
Thor: I knew she would eventually sleep. *looks relieved*
... Silente was trying to kill some remnants... she drained my energy... Hunter saved my life and Alastair gave me energy so I was fine... I like him... I'm scared of him, but I like him...
Zanida: *looks up, waking at Aretha's voice* Alastair stole my true name, I'm not overly fond of him.
*smiles at Zan*
That's cute.
(IM BEING SWARMED BY CATS!!!)
*blinks* Wow, ok. This is... New. Well, in any case, we're not planning on getting rid of Alastair. Adra needs him. I'm glad to hear he's been doing some good here, though.
Well, yeah, Zanida, but that was in self defense. No offense, but I can't say I trust or particularly like you, either... I don't think anyone should have their name stolen, of course, but my point is that he didn't do it for no reason.
... He said I wasn't annoying.
KITTIES!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3
I have two cats and when we got back from our trip you could tell they were happy to see us! It was so cute!!!!!
(Sil are you still here?)
Hey Duggy! I have four. One on my chest one leaning on her from the side one above my head and one outside. Want me to open the link for 5 mins dug?
Awwwwww!
*dies of cuteness overload*
So sweet....
And yes please! Yo Sil!!
Zanida: I don't want any quarrel with your people, Aretha. I wish he would go back in time, and I can go home in peace.
Thor: Zanida has yet to do anything other them want to prove to Alastair she is not a threat, and believe me, she hardly is one anymore. *puts his other arm around her*
Will you post the link?
(its open now)
*Sighs*
Om ombodon;r
Will you post the link?
http://howandwhyareyouhere.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1
Or click here
(Adra, did you say you were invisible?)
>.<
I swear, Dragona, I have to come up with non-keyboard codes...
Granted, it was a shitty code, but I don't have my phone with me so I can't do my usual one.
(I'm SORRY I didn't mean to figure it out! I did it accidentally. I know that doesn't make sense but it's genuinely what happened.)
*looks critically at Leri, then nods* I could see that. He wasn't lying.
Thor, Zanida, I don't know what your lives are like, and I'm sorry if you've just been manipulated, but the few times I've met you before now, Zanida, you were attacking me and my friends, and manipulating yet another friend. I hope you can understand how that would lead me to distrust you.
Chione would disagree... she doesn't like me.
Zanida: *sighs* Yes, I understand. *winces, her voice laced with pain* Not many of you trust me, I understand.
Thor: If Alastair knew how she changed he would know she poses no threat to anyone.
(My throat feels like its closing in on itself.)
