- Jezebel - 05-17-2009 [html] The soft glow of nightfall had been what parted Jezebel and Gabriel as they had spent time catching up the day before, and with night came sleep, and with sleep memories of the past. This usually caused early mornings for the ashen beauty and she could be found out prowling the caverns in the north of Inferni, her lepus form slim, fur sleek and shimmering in the early morning light. She wondered briefly if any others were early rises like herself, her ruby eyes roaming her surroundings, scenting the light, cool breeze with interest. It seemed today would be a better day then any to explore her knew home, and with this in mind she set off towards the south west of Inferni. the rocky and greenery filled terrain soon turning into sand. The diversity of Inferni amazed her, and she paused to admire the ocean in the distance, waters choppy and gray in the early morning glow. Suddenly the snap of bone and sinew broke the silence, a few pinches of pain as Jezebel's limbs elongated, and body stretched into a curvaceous, feminine form, black hair tumbling down past her shoulders. The shift done Jezebel let out a contented sight, and she relaxed down against a nearby log that was wedged into the sand and grass, covering her eyes with her forearm against the glare of the sun, shifting in and out of consciousness as smoke filled her mind. - Ryan de le Poer - 05-18-2009 Hey there. Hope you don't mind if I throw Ryan in here. :][html] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/ ... purple.jpg); background-position: bottom center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> She saw less and less of Valkyrie and Zana as the days passed. The two girls were getting older now, and almost all restrictions limiting their exploration had been lifted. Ryan had let her mind drift into the clouds for so long now, that she wasn’t even sure what was happening in the young girls’ lives. Hell, maybe they didn’t even play with each other any longer.
- Jezebel - 05-18-2009 [html]Not at all! The sun soon rose to warm her skin as Jezebel relaxed beneath its steady glow, seemingly oblivious to her surroundings save for the occasional flick of one of her silky ears. It wasn't long into her visions of smoke and singed fur that the rustle of cloth and the soft hush of feet against sand announced someones presence, causing Jezebel to tense against the wood. Moving her forearm from her eyes and sitting straighter, tucking one of her legs beneath herself in case she had to crouch, Jezebel clenched her fist into the sands as an abrupt question met her ears. Training from her past seemed to have taken her over in that moment, but as she turned her gaze to look upon the approaching female the knots in her shoulders slowly seemed to relax. "Jezebel," she replied, masking her uncertainty with a smile. "It is nice to meet you Ryan, you must be a relative of Gabriel?" Or at least Jezebel hoped it was blood that related these two, they did bear a certain amount of resemblance so she did not look to far into it. She then stood as if that was what she meant to do all along, propping herself against the log as she looked interestedly at the varied browns, gray and the ashen line that ran from the tip of Ryan's nose and down her spine, before meeting up with the woman's crimson eyes once more. Jezebel's smile never faltered, her fingers playing absentmindedly with the cross around her neck as she continued to talk. "Gabriel accepted me just yesterday, he spoke a bit about his family and current events but time didn't seem to be on our side." Jezebel wished they could have spoken more, well into the night perhaps, where he could have even invited her to his home... but these were hapless dreams it seemed. "I've situated myself in one of the caverns just to the east of here," Jezebel said, knowing that Ryan held one of the important ranks of the clan. "I hope that is alright." - Ryan de le Poer - 05-18-2009 [html] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/ ... purple.jpg); background-position: bottom center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> Ryan eyed her curiously, wondering whether or not she had any ties with the clan. It seemed that many that had wandered here were related some way or another, and she wouldn’t be surprised if this lovely woman was somehow kin. She had never heard the name before, but that didn’t mean much. Ryan still didn’t know much about her own close family, let alone those distant relatives. "My father is Gabriel’s cousin," Ryan explained, nodding. So then it seemed that Ryan’s assumptions were true – Gabriel had allowed Jezebel to be here. Whether permanently as a member or as a visitor, she did not know yet.

- Ryan de le Poer - 05-21-2009 [html] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/ ... purple.jpg); background-position: bottom center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"> Ryan smiled towards Jezebel, taking the seat that the woman had offered her. "Oh," Ryan started, grinning in embarrassment, "of course." Somehow she felt as if she should have said their names before. "My daughter is Valkyrie and the girl who stays with us is Zana Lykoi." She wondered whether or not to reveal the children’s relations, but figured she would do so as to avoid further questioning. After all, it would be discovered sooner or later. "Hybrid, another member here, is Valkyrie’s father. And Zana’s mother was a leader over at Phoenix Valley. I’m not really sure of her history. She’s a strange girl, but easily wins your heart over." Ryan smiled at that, feeling content here by the shore with images of her daughter dancing in her mind. She loved the soft lull of the waves crashing not far from their feet. It had always soothed her. "If you don’t mind me asking," Ryan started, looking towards the woman and noticing the necklace hung around her neck, "where did you travel from?" - Jezebel - 05-31-2009 [html]
- Ryan de le Poer - 06-04-2009 [html] Ryan easily smiled when Jezebel commented on the girls’ names. She agreed whole heartedly, though was obviously biased when it came to Valkyrie’s. She wondered what this woman would think of the name Gabriella, the poor child Ryan had buried along the shore. "Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll meet some new faces around here sooner or later. And I guess the most important thing to know about the other packs, is to stay away from Phoenix Valley. At least, for now." But she didn’t explain further, and instead looked out over the calm ocean water. She was curious mostly about this woman’s story, and how she had ended up here in Inferni. California was not a place that Ryan had ever heard of, nor ever been to. The farthest west she and her mother had been was Kansas, though Ryan did not know of any names. She tried to conjure up an image of this far off place, failing in being able to visualize something different then Inferni. It had become her life now, so it was hard for her to think of places otherwise. Ryan smiled when she spoke of Gabriel. It was interesting to hear they had been friends during youth. She wondered if that had been in California as well or not. "Me? Oh well. It’s not quite been a year yet. I came to Inferni in the fall, looking for my father. He used to be a leader here." She didn’t explain that he had gone off. Although Maserati had come to explain some, Ryan still didn’t understand entirely where her old man had run off to. "I really like it here." - Jezebel - 06-09-2009 [html] [/html] - Ryan de le Poer - 06-18-2009 [html] A smile easily found her features, and Ryan watched Jezebel spring up with ease. It had been some time since Ryan had last gone swimming, but she easily remembered the experience. She had happened to come across Anselm in the water, she just having some fun, while he did precise strokes to keep his body fit. It was strange to think back to that now, since it seemed so far in the past. "Of course," Ryan replied finally, stripping off the purple dress and laying it on the log where they had been sitting. The water was cool when it finally rolled high enough to reach them. She had made her down the shore towards Jezebel, and smiled playfully as the water crashed at their feet. "It’s not too bad," and she took a few steps forward so that the water rose higher along her calves. It would take some getting used to, that’s all. - Jezebel - 07-11-2009 [html]I'm horrible. >.> [/html] |
