Chasing Stars [V'ler] - A'liran - 03.Feb.14 This'll be a good one, right Ast? A'liran inquired sarcastically. His voice was filled with plucky arrogance and a hint of impatience, which Astoreth returned with her own brand of venom. Ali snorted, crossing his arms and narrowing his eyes as he gazed out the window and into the darkness. He could sense her frustration seething inside him. Her anger had mixed so completely with his own that he wasn't really sure who the bad mood originated with. All he knew was that she was due, and the tingling in his blood indicated that she was due soon. Always, huh? Don't give yourself too much credit. You land me in trouble more often than not, and I swear by the egg that I'll make you into a wallet if y- Her sudden screech caught him off guard. It exploded in his mind, as loud and jarring as if she'd screamed right beside him. He clutched at his ears. "Fuck! You stupid bitch!" he snarled, pacing with agitation and continuing to paw at his ears. He felt so close to her - almost one with her - and the echo of the screech just kept ringing in his head! He stumbled a little, trying to come up with some sort of witty line to spit as his dragon as she lurched into the air, yanking his confused consciousness after her as if he were tethered by some sort of invisible cord. His self-satisfied mood vanished in a whirl of tinnitus and vertigo. They were flying! They were flying, and just like normal, the green harpy had gotten in the last word and caught him completely off guard. Eben when Ali recognized the signs and managed to steel himself for the oncoming flight, she still seemed to always manage to sneak attack him. As Astoreth's dark form disappeared in the night sky, Ali could feel himself whisked away to the stars alongside her. Astoreth crooned, welcoming Ali alongside her as a fellow warrior. While they appeared at odds on the ground, both of them loved this part. They loved flying free together, wild and coveted. Ali could almost feel the night air caressing his skin. He was light, swift, and vicious. He thought he could smell a trace of blood on the wind. He [i]knew[i[ he could smell a hint of fear. It was perfect! He let out his own scream of frustration and challenge, barely able to contain his energy. Let them come! He would defend himself, and it would be glorious! Re: Chasing Stars [V'ler] - V'ler - 04.Feb.14 Some evenings when the sky was clear and the weather wasn’t too hot or too cold, V’ler liked to spend time out under the stars. Sometimes it was simply to stare up at the stars and let his creative mind wander where it wanted and other times it was to sit by a glow stone and work on lyrics or strum his guitar lightly. That was actually how I’shan managed to snag him and bring him to Katila. His habit of sitting under trees with pen and paper or his guitar had given him a whole new world to learn and play in. Most people would have given up on that habit since it would have been viewed as bad luck, but V’ler enjoyed it all the more since everything seemed different yet familiar at the same time. Even he had secret moments of missing the old life and it was comforting. Veeth gave a call of challenge when he saw the green shoot into the sky and was hot on her heels to join the chase. “Veeth! You didn’t tell me who it is,” they were still working on negotiations over who they could chase and how often they would enter flights but part of the deal was that he got to know beforehand who they might win. B’jin’s list of greenriders to avoid had been taken seriously and so far, he hadn’t ended up with extra bruises; except when D’hys or Z’ia were involved and they dragged him into interesting things in the loser haze. That was something else he was still working on getting control of. Having discovered it didn’t disorientate him nearly as much as when he fought for control, V’ler closed his eyes and breathed out slowly as he let his mind merge with Veeth’s, giving into the lust and chase. Given who he was possibly about to be snuggled up to, it was probably best to be of one mind with Veeth so they could handle the green pair. With that, Veeth wove through the sky after Astoreth as V’ler searched out A’liran, now fully on board with the idea of being with the greenrider he only knew by reputation. Re: Chasing Stars [V'ler] - A'liran - 12.Feb.14 Her arrogance fueled A'liran's rage. He paced and shouted, his body trembling with anticipation. Why hadn't they found him yet? He wanted to watch them paw and beg for him! He had no plans to answer their calls, of course. He was far too good for them! He was above their petty weakness! He and Astoreth were far too great a prize for any of them to deserve, but watching them beg would be gratifying just the same! Astoreth shrieked again as he closed in on the males, folding one wing and darting hastily to the side, delighting in how they mirrored her movements. He could hear Ali's ranting, she could feel his need and outrage...How perfect! She purred in delight as she prepared to angle herself away, anticipating just how frustrated they would be when she dashed away from their grasp. She crooned to them soothingly, as if she'd experienced a change of heart and wished to feel their embrace. What a cunning plan! Down below, Ali grinned as well, turning towards the door and holding his arms out for whoever would come through, seeking to claim him...Oh, how they would learn! The greenrider closed his eyes and watched through Astoreth's, eager to spring the trap. His idyllic plans shattered suddenly when another screech rocked his brain. He groaned and buckled, colliding unexpectedly with some figure who'd entered his room undetected thanks to his sheer shock. Ast was screaming with fury...something was grasping her? Someone had her! She'd been caught?! How?! Ali deadweighted, sending himself down to the floor. He scrambled, fighting both his flightwinner and his own ad desires. How could this be? They weren't ready! That whore must have gotten herself snatched! You cut too close, you damn tease! One of them grabbed us while you were...gloating! he bellowed. A string of curses escaped him as he turned on his flight winner, unsure if he was about to beat the poor man or fuck him senseless.
