Kurai + Dementia Sphinxy fun

[♥Dementia♥]

Abu had a huge smile plastered on his face at the sight of Shira's fail as he handed the lily to her. "For you, milady," he said with a smile. "I don't know if she's even noticed Haya-ji yet. She absolutely loves cats. She's been bugging me to let her get one." He smiles proudly at his daughter. "She can be quite the handful," Abu admitted. A sad look hit Abu, as he often wished she had a mother present. Nashwa asked about her sometimes, but it had been a one time fling. Nashea happily played with Haku, and her father produced a ball of yarn out of thin air to his daughters delight. Nashwa rolled the ball for Haku.

Nemesis studied Isobel, seeming pwrplexed at the thought of two mates. "You mean, I'll have two wives?" Nemesis unknowingly let Isobel know she wasn't interested in men for the most part, unless a particularly amazing male happens to come forward. "It's not that I doubt you, I just haven't ever thought of marriage. I'm usually chasing fanged beasts..." She admitted. "I just don't get much time to sit down and consider such things. Definitely an interesting fortune for me." She smiled, hoping she hadn't offended Isobel. She thought about having a mate, and the idea didn't seem so bad. Not as long as they didn't mind that she traveled a lot, or would travel with her. "Hmmm.." She said as she considered.

Mel smiled her huge smile. "Oh, this will just be so perfect! I can't wait! Perhaps during the festival we shall both get closer to our goals!" She stated with excitement. "A wizard and a fortune teller traveling together... What an amazing life that will be.." Her eyes had a dreamy look about them, and she twiddled her hair in her paw. "I wonder if they will have opportunities for more jobs?"

Shira-hime: *had flushed a bit well aware of her tail having poofed out..she smiles brightly though and accepts the lily smelling it lightly* Thank you ^.^ *there was a light happy purr to her voice* heh.. Haya-ji tends to try to not draw attention, while Haku does everything for attention *she admits with a smile* and good to knw...cats are wonderful companions. I only got Haku recently actually during one of the yules.. iv had Haya-ji as long as I can remember *she says honestly then giggles at the handful comment* That can be a good thing..*she notes the sad look and instinctively brushed her tail against her harp producing a soft tune , one would think all those notes together would be fairly seamless but somehow it was very soft and ethereal it didn't interrupt the talking or anything but had a soothing effect...*

Haku: *purrs playing with Nashwa happily occasionally bouncing or gliding with his wings, when the yarn came into play he perks up more and pounces the ball of yarn batting it back to her playfully with a happy almost tribbling noise*


Isobel:*her tail swishes and she tilts her head noting the Wives bit* that's the implications of my fortune yes....* she finishes cleaning the crystal ball tucking it carefully on her tail after curling her tail a bit mollified * ah.. understandable... most in the more..traveling or dangerous jobs don't think about it... *she finally admits then nods slowly* I see... and indeed a curious fortune..but a good one..a ncie change from the fortunes iv told most recently *she admits then tilts her head furrowing her brow* always keep in mind fate is quiet fickle.. so while I see one thing, it is up to you on if it happens or not...*she thinks a moment..then in a almost dark humor* Suppose it is a good thing the "Opposites attract" does not seem to be in paly for this no? neither of the statues had the feeling of being vampiric *she says dryly* that would have very likely been uncomfortable for awhile..


Gregory: very! *he looks thoughtful* im sure more jobs will come up..though...I think one ahs to be a scribe before they can be a wizard...and the Scribe job already came and passed.. * he admits with a small frown since he hadn't tired....* Paw reader hasn't come up yet, so im sure that will come up somewhere!

[♥Dementia♥]

Abu listened intently to Shira, nodding at her words. "Perhaps I should let her look into this cat business, then." He smiled his handsome smile, hiding the sadness as Shira strummed a little strum. He closed his eyes, just listening to the sound. "So, you can play the harp. What else can you do, miss Shira?" He gave her a toothy smile, watching his daughter play with Haku. Seeing his daughter so happy made him happy. Perhaps he couldn't give her a mother, but he did his best. Nashwa giggled happily, moving the ball towards Haku and then back away playfully.

Nemesis laughed. "At least you didn't predict I would get mauled by bears or turned into a vampire." She grinned, showing that was a joke and not to be taken the least bit offensively. Nemesis's eyes widened at the vampiric statue bit. "Um, yeah. I would probably have died right here if you had predicted something that crazy. Interesting things do seem to happen around these parts, however." She whined at the thought of being married to a vampire. "Yuck...vampires," she muttered. "It would be nice to have a companion indeed," said Nemesis before adding, "What's the WORST fortune you've ever had to give..?" She was curious about this profession she knew little to nothing about.

Melinoe nodded. "Yes, indeed, scribe first then wizard. I've done my research on job paths!" She giggled happily. "You could always try to get one of those, er, vouchers? I believe they allow you to approach and get a job in whatever position you desire so long as you have the prerequisite. I've even heard that sometimes you might be able to talk your way into one of the prestigious jobs without ever having to be a scribe." She winked. "I could always miss my opportunity, too..." She shuddered in horror.

Shira-hime:*she smiles happily* would certainly help keep her entertained *she notes indicating Haku and Nashwa playing, watching him a moment offering a serenely gentle smile, her tail gentle continuing the somewhat haunting tune though low enough to not disrupt conversation, she considers the question thoughtfully* ummm...I play the harp..i can sing.... *she glances down* I..don't really do much else...I am trying to learn baking but.. I get lost in music a lot and time slips past...*she trails off a moment watching Haku and Nashwa play*

Haku: *purrs happily and pounces the yarn before batting it back at Nashwa mewing happily*


Isobel: *she shrugs* true, those wouldn't have been pleasant visions...*she lets out a light laugh noting Nemesis's eyes widen* ah-ah... come now.. we both know it would have to be a very talented vampire to survive long enough to get married to you and I doubt many are that talented *she jokes lightly* and true..iv noticed a lot of. Interesting things...*she breaks down into another soft laugh at the whining* oh come now im sure there are worse things yes?..*she smiles * id not know..but im sure company would be nice to have..*she blinks considering the question thoughtfully *..I..suppose that depends on how you view Worst..worst event? worst heartbreak? worst time I was chased from somewhere due to a prediction? *she seems to weigh* I suppose mass..purging of a were pack was a fairly bad prediction for them.. not occurred yet but still..iv had a few times where ah..much to the misfortune of the male half of a pair ends up outed for having a mistress...or being informed his wife has a mistress... I was chased rather heavily for about a month after informing a nightwatch group that the fairies they were trying to clear out would massacre them since the fairies knew they were coming..because the faeries had come and asked Me there future.... *she says dryly then considers*...or perhaps you mean worst vision iv experienced?.. *she hadn't thought on that bit right off and trails off a moment for Nemesis to answer...*


Gregory: heh..and that's good! always good to know what you need to do to get where your going...*he blinks* oh..true... I know the humanoid im living with has a couple of those...and I see.. *he blinks*... tlak my way into? thatd be interesting to try..*he smiles reassuringly* hey..cmon don't think like that... chin up youl get there...

(Quoted from Heb thread)

Mels: *steals Shirahime
Abubakar: *growls angrily*
Shira-hime: *Wiggles free fluffing her tail* I appreciate the liking ...but I like where im at right now..^.^... *she smiles at Abubakar moving over to greet him* Hi Abu...
Abu: Hello, Shira! *smiles at the beautiful Sphinx lady* Are you okay? I noticed that human tried to steal you! *shifty eyes at human*
Shira-hime: *returns the smile swishing her tail* im fine, no injuries or such, and at worst Haya-ji would have been able to track me down he always knows where I am ^.^ good thing to since im not the best at navigating.. *she lets out a gentle laugh* mm yeah... kinda a compliment in a way considering all the lovely sphinxes around... *she shifts her harp a little*
Abu: *nods* Good, good! And you are most certainly the most beautiful Sphinx around. *he blushes as he says this*
Shira-hime: *she blushes ducking her head slightly* t..thank you for the compliment .. *she swishes her tail happily*
Haya-ji: *stares at Abubakar unblinkingly gaze narrowed*

Melinoë: *nervously jitters around mumbling about jobs & paw reading*
Gregory: Mel? calm down.. take a deep breathe...your going to tire yourself or make yourself sick if you worry too much.... I know youl get there...trust in yourself alright?
Mel: *bursts into tears* O-Oh, maybe I should just try for something different? Perhaps....p-priestess? I'm just so scared! *flings herself into Greg's arms*
Gregory: hey..none of that now.. you can get to be a fortuneteller im sure of it.. *he trails off blushing front paws stuck out awkwardly a moment after she flung herself into his arms before he pats her on the back still blushing* t..there there... nothing to be afraid of...youl get there im sure.....


Abu: *smiles dreamily at Shira until he notices the wolf glaring at him* Umm..Haya-ji won't bite, right? *tries to hide his fear*
Shira-hime: *she returns the smile lightly then blinks noticing that Abu seemed worried and lightly plucks a few cords on her harp too hopefully soothe the magician considering the question* umm.. I don't think so?... long as no one hurts me anyway...I don't think hes ever bitten anyone before *she looks thoughtful* he is over protective of me though so don't be surprised if he looks like he's glaring.. not sure where he learned how to glare but he pulls it off somehow.. *she comments with a light laugh to lessen how concerning that could be*
Haya-ji: <.<....... *offers a wolfy sharp toothed grin*
Abu: *isn't soothed, he's pretty afraid of the wolf* He looks like he might want to take a bite out of me. *scoots closer to Shira, hoping Haya-ji doesn't attack* As long as he doesn't think I'm dinner, all will be well. *he tried to laugh off his fear*

Mel: *smiles determinedly* I'm going to try hunting. At least, for now. I'm so afraid I won't make the paw reader try outs, if they even come up this year. Any job is good, right? *she tries talking herself into this, cuddling Greg like a kitten*
Gregory: if you want to...Mel..youl make it..if not this year than the next..*he assures gently* and I guess...though lot of those im living with don't have a job since they are waiting for the right one to come up apparently....*he was blushing brightly while being cuddled*
Mel: *nods, agreeing* Yes, always next year! Being a hunter for awhile won't be so back, right? I'm simply far too impatient and bored to be jobless for long. *she says this with high drama in her voice, staying in her current cuddling spot*


Shira-hime: *she sweatdrops continuing to play a soft melody* he always looks like that around most people... hes never attacked anyone though ... *she crinkles her nose cutely* ew.. Haya-ji wouldn't eat someone intelligent...
Haya-ji: *also slightly crinkles his nose as though insulted or disgusted by the idea as well huphing as he eyes around mentally pleased to have intimidated the MAgician..*
Abu: *sighs with relief* Good, I was afraid I'd have to poof my way out of here! *he laughs heartily* But...um, why doesn't he eat intelligent beings? *genuinely curious* Do they taste back? *he looks at Haya-ji as he asks this*
Shira-hime: *she giggles* oh cmon hes not that scary... *she blinks giving him a perplexed look*.Haya-ji isn't a monster.....
Haya-ji: *huphs slightly*
Shira-hime: he has morals just like everyone else....

Gregory: * seemingly in a continuous blush for the moment...* y..yeah.....and I guess..don't know what a hunter does pretty much.. *he admits sweatdroping slightly at the impatient bit but gaining a slightly fond smile* if that's what you want to do ill support you anyway I can.
Isobel: its always good to atleast have the agility to run very very fast as a fortuneteller..if not be able to hold your own a bit in a fight... one can manage both warrior nd magic if one has the aptitude or determination.. *she sniffs *
Mel: I'm baaaack! Hi, Khaba! *shes waves excitedly, then stares at the barbarian in awe* Oooh, you're pretty! Is your job fun? *she returns to her spot with Greg while speaking with the barbarian lady* Ahhhhhh!!!! A real live fortune teller!!!! *she faints*
Gregory: *he blinks fixing some of his fur from the cuddling before nodding to the two sphixnes ( Khaba and Ildiko)* Hello...*he glances to Mel noting she didn't seem as anxious for the moment then sweatdrops when she faints and waves at said Fortuneteller* Hey Isobel...*
Mel: *revives* Omgosh, she's still here! *flails* I LOVE YOU MISS FORTUNE TELLER! *screams this* This is my boyfriend, Greg. *she nods happily*
Isobel:....*raises a brow slightly* im rather sure I am alive indeed, I would hope so since being undead might make things difficult with the company iv been in recently...(nemesis the vampire hunter) *she nods to Gregory* Gregory.. you look to be doing well..though I notice no job yet...
Gregory: *he sweatdrops* please be nice Isobel.. your the first Fortuneteller shes met I think... and she really wants to be a fortuneteller herself so.... *he blinks a bit taken aback by the boyfriend bit before blushing heavily into a stuttering mess for the moment*
Isobel:..... *stares blankly a moment before rubbing one of her ears twitching her nose in minor annoyance due to the scream* it is Madame Isobel not miss fortuneteller...and that explains much of his chattering about a young lady.. *her tone was mildly irritated, she wasn't exactly inclined to the hyperactive sorts...*


Abu: I didn't mean to imply that Haya-ji was a monster. I'm so sorry, Shira, if you took it that way. *he frowns*
Shira-hime: * she shifts on her paws slightly* that's why he doesn't eat sentient thigns.. hes very smart.. *she says softly swishing her fluffy tail a moment* if you didn't mean that implication..then its fine ^.^ no harm done, and I was more replying to your question..Haya-ji is smart and isn't a monster..if he was smart but did eat people very likely hed be a monster.. if he wasn't smart..then itd be more along the lines of he got hungry... *she explain with a gentle reassuring smile*
Abu: *sighs in relief* Of course he is very smart and most certainly NOT a monster. *he tries to pat Haya-ji* I would never suggest such a horrendous untruth. *he smiles happily at the lovely Shira*

Mel: Oh, yes... Um, Madame Isobel, I LOVE YOU! *she screams again* Omgosh, you're so cool! Look at that awesome crystal ball! Can you teach me how to be a Fortune Teller, too?! Please, oh please! *she begs with her paws clasped together, then looks a bit confused about Greg not having a job* That's because he is going to become a Wizard. *she nods excitedly*
Gregory: shes commenting on the fact im not a scribe yet.. *he murmurs to MElione*
Isobel: *her tail twitches in annoyance* Firstly...stop screaming.. I can hear you if you speak normally and id like to keep being able to hear... *she said with a annoyed twitch letting out a hmmm as she lightly rolls the crystal ball in question*...teach...not particularly since I myself was never taught by another.. *she flicks her tail a bit* I can advise that if you think you have a knack for fortunetelling..never ignore your instincts or your as good as dead. *she says bluntly*

Shira-hime: *she smiles lightly letting out a light giggle*
Haya-ji: *makes a grumbling noise but lets Abu pat him once before shifting out of reach with a sharp huph, he had let the magician do so, so he understood that Haya-ji also wasn't upset with him either... after all the wolf wasn't upset..just trying to intimidate the holy heck out of him..which the wolf was rather smug about having managed to do..*
Shira-hime: *she smiles letting out a soft laugh* im glad of that..*she smiles lightly at Abu, she thought he was cute, but was still being a little careful since, while no mate had shown up so far, him having a kid indicated the possibility, ...but she wasn't going to bring that up*

[♥Dementia♥]

Abubakar grins triumphantly when Haya-ji lets him pet him. Then, Nashwa comes running over, letting the yarn trail a bit behind her so Haku will follow. "Oh, daddy! Can I keep the kitty!? OR we could keep Miss Shira AND the kitty!" she says excitedly, bursting into a giggle fit. Abubakar's eyes widen. "Um...I don't know if miss Shira wants to let you have her OR her kitty, sweetie..." He shakes his head a bit, giving Shira a look like "yikes, kids." Then, he leans over and whispers into Shira's ear. "What the little one doesn't know is that I've sent our resident Seductress on a hunt for a certain thief who stole a very special kitten. She's fairing quite well trying to seduce...er...capture the thief and the kitten. Hopefully she succeeds and Nashwa can take the kitty home." Nashwa glares at her father. "NO SECRETS, Dad!" she whines.

Melinoe blushes intensely and whispers quietly. "Um, I'm sorry. I just get so excited about Fortune Telling," she apologizes to Isobel. Nemesis laughs at Melinoe, and says quietly to Isobel. "That one is a bit excitable. She's new to our little group," she explains. "I try to avoid her because she tends to attract attention." Nemesis nods, and Damon runs up to Melinoe, barking and wanting to attack....or maybe play.

"AHHHHHHHHH!" Melinoe screams. "Greg, help! The dog is going to eat me!" She runs in circles with Damon on her heels. "I'm sorry miss Isobel, but unless you can stop this crazy dog I'll have to learn some other time!" Mel seems to have completely forgotten about not yelling and brushed over Isobel saying she wouldn't teach her as well.

Haku: *bounds after the yarn then flaps his wings taking to the air darting past the yarn to pounce on Nashwa playfully, with a triumphant mew*[/rgb]

Shira-hime: *blinks then breaks down into a light giggling fit* I appreciate that youd want to take myself and Haku home *she says gently* but I don't think Haya-ji would be allowing of that... hes kind of the "dad" in this situation..*she giggles, then lsitens to the info offering a bright smile and doing a my lips are sealed action before giggling once more as Nashwa whined * Secrets can be the ebst surprises Nashwa ^.^ like Yule presents, its the anticipation and secret of what is inside that makes things exciting right? *she points out with a smile* sure not all secrets are presents, but other secrets are best kept as such sometimes..im sure youv kept a secret or two yourself.. *she smiles lightly*

Haya-ji: *rolls his eyes slightly both at how triumphant Abu seemed..and Shira's dad comment*


Isobel: hnn...<.<.....*she flicks her tail a bit then glances to Nemesis listening and nodding in agreement murmuring back* she certainly is loud... be a good distraction I suppose though yes?...*she blinks and watches with a mildly amused look her ears flicking back so they didn't have as much trouble with the sound..* heh......

Gregory: !! *thinks quickly then finds a..wait..was that a pinecone?! hefting it then lets out a sharp whistle to get Damon's attention off Melione for a moment..he really hoped this would work..since the dog didn't seem to be trying to actually hurt anyone..or so he perceived.. and seemed more to be enjoying chasing someone around....* Im gonna try and get him to go after something other than you Mel, hold on!

Isobel: *lightly snickers* those two I don't have to even try for a vision to know how they will end up no?
