"Because your voice...quivers as it speaks..." Of course it was the truth... the whole truth and nothing but the bloody truth. Shiara squeezed her eyes tightly shut, her lips forming a secure line against one another as it felt like he was speaking directly into her. "Because your bottom lip shutters when your heart catches in your throat every time I am around." Her hands flew up to cover her face, fingers dragging slowly and raggedly down over her forehead, cheeks, chin. When her hands dropped back into the water limply her eyes were open once more... looking at him. And her mouth was parted just the tiniest bit, her breath flowing in and out a little more rapidly then normal, making the skin of her lips feel tight and dry. She licked them, swallowing convulsively.

Shiara stood up numbly from her seat, moving through the water back in his direction... "Raziel... " She was definitely panting now, her heartbeat thudding in her ears, blood racing in her veins to sustain her muscles, her organs, her flesh. Was she finally going to ask... She knew... she knew that if she just asked... he would tell her the truth. The question was there in her mind, clear as day, begging to be set free at last... 'Raziel do you desire me?' Her courage failed, she didn't think she could handle the truth. "...would you like a drink?" It was not a question that required words to answer, she was quite clearly not asking if he wanted to go get a drink... but if he wanted to have one... from her. She was mentally tired from training and that had placed a certain amount of stress on her body, but it really was more stress then strain. Physically, behind the mental and emotional barriers that made her 'think' she was tired, her form was brimming with plenty of vitality and energy still.

She stopped a foot from him. She didn't lean towards him, she didn't reach out and touch him. She did not climb into his lap this time and force her way into his personal space. But she stood, less then an arms length away... and offered the very thing that he had admitted to Heiden was like crack to him.

Torn she had ended it for many reasons. Death...was only one path that could be walked and in theory that relationship ought to have been flawless but he wasn't the same man. Through all of his various changes he had lost pieces of himself. Not to mention that Onyx had jumped ahead far too soon. She had wanted to love again but...in the end her own hurts won. She didn't want it to be bitter. He had things, a crew that needed him. He needed to be able to go and do the things he needed to do in order to be successful for himself. At the same time Onyx would never be someone's woman in theory. You were all in or you were nothing. no half life, no half love. This needed to be done and friends they would always remain. She would always have a soft spot for the very gorgeous dark elf.
Onyx didn't know how long it would be, or if she would ever see him again. After everything, dragging him through some considerable hell, She wouldn't blame him. She hadn't told Heiden yet, she hoped he wouldn't be too disappointed in her.

Suddenly her thoughts turned to Raziel...she needed to speak with him...oh yeah...they had fought. Damn it. It was time to put out some fires and mend some bridges it seemed. The thought of Raziel made her think of Raza. She wondered...if he was...still alive. She still had no idea that he was in fact deceased. Linia ate him. He had been the only vampire she had ever attempted a relationship with. She of course had met him back when he was human and had...relations with him then. When he got turned she tired hard to see past it all but not even he could. It got to be too much and they had went their separate ways. No matter how brief...she had loved him. Now...her gears were really turning.

The thought about her love with Raza made her think about her encounter the other night with Metal. Her earth shattering epiphany that she wasn't afraid of the bite as much as she had been afraid of the man, the being behind the bite. Punch in the face number two. She froze. Raza, Shadow, James all have fangs. She had either loved them or had been their donner or both. It solidified the truth that she had come to know. Onyx didn't loath Metal because he was a vampire. She loathed him because...well...he was metal! Onyx recalled the way metal made her feel when he had grinned at her on the deck. Then...more sickeningly she remembered her thoughts and where they went after she had made contact with his lips. She had thought of Raza. She had remembered many various times...damn good times. Metal had stirred desire.

She stood up with a jerk, her chair toppling over. 'Oh no...no no no. Not happening right now. I need help this very instant!" she said out loud as she ran to her closet to dress herself. She whipped a brush through her hair and pinned it up and ran out of her room.

It seems that he went on quite the journey.

He didn’t know half of the stuff the man was talking about, the man should’ve realized that before when he told of the origin. The rest of it sounded fun however and he sort of envied that. It seemedThe man little adventure were actually peaceful compared to his own. The most he had gotten for adventure was attempting to traverse a buried library with what he now knows is a renegade blood mage, and gunner and a buisinesswoman.

He certainly had his own travel stories to tell. However, this went against his main rule of inter species communication, don’t get attached. He wouldn’t be here long and there was no reason for him to get attached to these creatures. It’ll only hurt others in the end, it worried him already that he was attaching himself to others. He needed to draw the line and soon.

Location: Asper ~Hot Tub - Lv 2

A grin remained on his lips as did his eye's as she asked him her curious question. Still with his arms rested on the rims of the hot tub, looking up wickedly playful at her. He slowly tilted his head at her narrowing his eye's a touch but the grin stayed. "I shall take that...as a yes then?" he chuckled darkly. Oh...how she just offered it to him freely! His heart skipped a beat. Lucky for her (and him too) the chlorine drowned out the smell of her blood. But her very question told him something...she thought about him. About his bite. Was this more than just a mere addiction? Suppose he could ask himself the very same.

Raziel was not a vampire despite his main guise looking an awful lot like one. He had fangs because biting someone with a row of shark teeth would be over kill and only was something he did when he actually ate people. Fanciness aside, Raziel was an Alien life form. He fed off of blood and flesh. His bite was not like a vampires. When he bit he had venoms that would be injected into his subject that would force addiction upon them should he chose to allow them to live. It would ensure that he could enslave someone to him without them running around and causing trouble. It was a defense mechanism that caused temporary paralysis. By doing it in a sexual manner he could also addict them naturally to sex. With a vampire its sex. Sexual allure and ... one other thing. I digress.

While his curiosity threw questions, theories and possibilities into his head his hand had already extended though he didn't touch her. He couldn't. She'd start mimicking. Instead he used his abilities to drag her body closer to him. Inches before his body, he still sat.

"don't...take your hands off of me..." shouldn't be too hard to do. 'sit!' he commanded her and she would come to straddle him against her will. He picked up her wrists into his hands and forced them to the sides of his dark handsome face. She would be engulfed in those green flames of his. He knew what she wanted, truly wanted. He wasn't too sure if here and now was the right time but he could certainly meet her half way. Skin connected with skin he could back the flames off of her to just her hands.

His face bent down and on to kiss at her decolletage. Soft lips upon her skin that left heated flesh behind once they had moved onto a different spot. He licked at her flesh half smearing his nose into her hot human body. Crack indeed it was to him to have someone with such a nice smell to them. His hands would entangle into her hair roughly bending her head back as he moved up to the side of her neck doing the same thing. His lips would drag down a bit as his face moved upwards. His fingers pulled the straps of her bathing suit down over her shoulders...Raziel would enjoy oh so much more of her flesh that would cause the most alluring sounds to ring up her throat. She was absolutely drunk with desire, lust, need and want. Her heart smashed like it was banging down a door. Her blood began to flow with the smell of his favorite blood booster...fear and adrenaline.
'Are you afraid?" he asked in the form of a moan. "Afraid of what you'll do...if I unhinge you?" he already knew the answer but he wanted to hear that pretty little voice of hers say it. Before she could answer though he bit into the side of her neck. Fangs sang right in, soft like butter and her blood flowed. Like a snake around it's prey he grabbed her into a sort of hold slash hug and tightened his grip. He gulped at her blood. His glowing blue eye's turned black along with the sclera. From there they turned grey before going a pearly white color with inflections of purples and oranges, like a mother of pearl.

Location: Asper ~ Lounge ~ Lv 2

Onyx came bursting into the bar area with a "Hi hiya hows it going great" as she bustled on past those in the bar. Onyx was making a beeline right for the lounge down on level two. So focused on her destination her eye's didn't see any distinct faces nor catch any distinct energies. Onyx had freaked herself right the ******** out. In the lounge she went right for the many book shelves. Raziel had kept a few medical books in there. Seriously...she thought her mind had just cracked! She was feverently looking through books to try to find a condition that matched her ailments!

The broadest definition of addiction in the dictionary is : persistent compulsive use of a substance known by the user to be harmful. But if her growing dependance on the intimacy of his fangs was harmful, then she was going to keep grabbing the knife with both bloody hands. If learning something new, if satisfying her mental curiosity, was the pinnacle of an intellectual high... then this was surely the peak of a physical high. Nothing compared to the feel of his lips on her skin, of his hands and teeth... n** and tug... being caressed and hungered for made her crave every second. And with each second she yearned for the next, the build up was intoxicating but rather then dull her senses like liquor did, this made everything sharp... and oh so yummy.

He could have held her anyway he wanted, could have posed her form anyway he wanted. But he choose to have her directly before him, partially on top of him. The positioning as he teased her flesh in prelude to the bite, caused her nerves to quiver and tremble, to ache for gyrating pressure. As the tie on the back of her neck came lose under his touch, moving the inconvenient straps of her suite out of the way, her legs tightened. Inner thigh muscles contracting in a vice grip around his lower torso. Her flaming hands that he'd place around his neck flexed into human claws that scrambled at his scalp, beneath those silken black locks. Her head was back, her neck arching, her body obedient to his sharp grasp in her red strands.

She had already lost control of her vocal cords, and she was quickly losing control of her body... he spoke of unhinging her and Shiara's mind struggled futility to hold onto it's grip. When he crushed her to him in that inescapable embrace and sunk his fangs into her neck, "Nyaaaaahhhh!!!" The sound of her panting cut off in a gurgle as her body locked into the torture of blissful agony that was his venomous effect of her system.

Li laid in his bed groaning his forehead beaded with sweat. Li got up off his bed and looked around his room. He felt peculiar very peculiar. His body felt as light as a feather. His mind felt clear and calculating answers to questions he had been mulling over for months were coming to him as clear as a bell. In fact all his worries and fears had seemed to just melt away from him. He felt very good very serene, and very at one with himself. He looked out the window...the grey silhouettes of humans seemed to roam all over port...the souls lost in the attack.. Li looked around his room his eyes coming to his bed.....He was still there. He was asleep on his bed normally he'd be freaking out and throwing an fit over this. But not even this extremely peculiar sight seemed to phase him. Li turned around went to the door of his room. He exited through the door and into the hallways of the Asper.

Li was having a sort of out of body experience and save for maybe a few creatures and people he was invisible to the average eye. Li stopped in the hall listening. He heard voices in the hot tub room. He made his way in stopping. He watched Raziel and Shiara talking. It seemed the two were having a falling out over certain emotions and physical attractions that each held for one another. Li felt for the two of them he gave a smile touching each one on the shoulder before turning around exiting the hot tub room leaving the two to their personal discussion he had no right to eaves drop on them in or out of body.

He walked into the bar looking around with no one he knew he walked up to the lounge where he could sense onyx. He didn't know what drove him to walk around like this. But he just felt like he should go with it and move around. It was like he had been locked up in a prison and was free for the first time. Li entered the lounge and watched onyx another whom he cared for on this ship. He looked over her to see the mouth of a dark hole like himself invisible to the naked eye it must have been where Linia watched over the captain from the realm of darkness.

Li looked a lot different out of his body. Though he had not looked in a mirror or even noticed his height. Li stood 7 feet tall. His body was muscular and slender. His skin had a Light golden tint to it. His hair cascaded down over his shoulders and back in long straight silvery strands of light. His entire body seemed to radiate gold and silver flame like light which roared around his body.

With his head buried into the crook of her neck she wouldn't be able to see his eye's. Skin broken her blood gushed and he took it all in. Oh how easy this all could be. She was warmed up in the palms of his hands to pick at in leisure. Body like putty and her voice! Like sparks to a gas line that was. He felt her body go rigid in his hands from the venom, pleasurable, paralyzing pleasure. It a way it was a shame that Heiden couldn't recall anything with Shiara...but at the same time good. Shiara didn't recall Heiden or her time either. Convenient. Raziel removed his fangs as they retracted. He spent the rest of the time licking and sucking the wound until it was sealed shut by his very saliva. He would continue down her neck and back to her chest. Picking her up he would turn to that way he could lay her out on the deck, legs to dangle into the water. He just enjoying watching her exquisite face contort in the pain and pleasure combination. He kissed her inner right knee and then inched his way up. When he got midway he grinned under his kisses and stopped.
"I know you can hear me...soon...the venom will wear off....but I have to wonder about you Shiara...what would happen...if i were to deny you the very bite you've come to learn to crave?" he walked his fingers two up her thigh and torso, up and over a breast playfully taunting her.

Onyx froze on the spot...she could feel it before see it. She spun around and dropped her book. Who...or what was this being of light that almost hurt her eyes? She could see it as energy and knew that not many would be able to see him...she was reluctant but the thought happened anyways. I wonder if Shiara would be able to see this? Onyx thought that there was something...strangely familiar about it's energy though.
"I don't know who you are or what you want...but...you seem familiar. Identify yourself please" she said nervous a little. It looks peaceful and calm and gave off that energy but...this was Onyx here. She trusted very little in this world.

Shiara was an intelligent girl, she appreciated having a good vocabulary, she enjoyed reading literature, and was rather fond of reciting quotes. But who the hell wanted anything to do with words right now. She heard him alright, she heard his question... but there was another question to be answered first. "Are you afraid?" "Afraid of what you'll do...if I unhinge you?" The first time he bit her Shiara had been mimic crazed and ended up so drained she passed out. The second time she had cause so much chaos to erupt in Raziel that she had been frozen in fear for her very life. This time... this time as she lay on the ground, with her legs still on either side of his waist hanging back into the pool, this time he kept touching her. In very suggestive ways as the paralysis began to release her muscles a bit at a time. This time she was neither drained nor afraid, she was... well it's a five letter word and it begins with an 'H'.

Her mind may not have remembered the pleasures that Heiden had introduced her body to, but her body sure as heck seemed to have ideas about what it wanted next. Her legs came up to wrap around his waist and she used the arm that was extended over her as a leverage point to pull her torso upright against his. And at last, at long last, those handsome smiling lips that curled and laughed, that taunted and smirked, that hid the bite that she had learned to crave, met her own. Her hands in his hair, her kiss, they were not gentle, but they weren't wild like a crazed animal either. She was simply very passionate, with an intensity of focus that could be strongly felt in the way she chose to kiss with her whole being. The bonus so to say in all this was her swim suit. From her ribs down there were two more ties in the back that held the one piece against her frame. The tie that supported the top portion against exertion and gravity had been disabled earlier, and the resulting effect was that three quarters of a particular pair of objects were now pressing firmly and directly against Raziel's bare chest.

Li stood in front of onyx and smiled, She showed him a lot of kindness in her time. She often time's was hard on him and played pranks on him exploiting his cowardly nature. But this to was a form of affection for him, He realized that now as he had never done before. He smiled again but stopped when she looked at him....and addressed him as well. She could see him? He turned his head sideways giving her a look of curiosity. He stepped forward reaching out to place his warm hands on her shoulders. He went to speak.....but could not. He frowned momentarily and stepped back. Thinking he held up his hand light particles gathering within an instant into a ball and exploding with a much stronger force than normal taking the shape of a ornate knife.

Li's body inj his room began to stir he was waking up.

He stood before onyx smiling to see if she understood. Alas as his body woke he was being called back to it. He fell to his hands and knees struggling and fighting to stand up. He didn't want to go back! He wanted to stay like this it felt good! His body sank through the floor slowly as he fought. He opened his mouth giving a deep harsh roar as he fell back through the floor boards into his body.

Li woke up with a jolt." Ah hell my head....that was one hell of a dream." He groaned getting up. He got dressed and walked out of his room into the bar.

[Gatrick Swayze]

"Ah no way man? You don't understand?" he rubbed two fingers on his chin thoughtfully. "Because it was so awesome right?" Sandel was so sure of himself that he didn't bother trying to figure out if he was right or not."But ya'know it was a real fun time, next maybe one of you guys can come and see why I will spend my entire life doing this. Until my dying breath be that by old age or injury I will be looking for loot." Sandel tapped his cigarette, watching pieces of ash fall to the floor breaking apart on impact.

He was about say some more when Onyx bust through the doors like a stallion on its first derby race. "Eh?" Sandel watched her disappear just as quick and he looked at Leon with a -What the F*ck- face. "Wonder what got to the captain to make her so......timid." It wasnt that much longer when another force seemed to the enter the bar. Sandel couldn't see what it was, due to the fact that he was just an ordinary human, no superhuman traits about him whatsoever. "Now whats going on?"

Suddenly Sandel felt his body grow hot, and he tugged at his collar is if he could let out a build of steam. "Frak, it's hot in...." His voice trailed off when a spirit seemed to come flying out of his body. It lookedd very similar to woman in Cambodia who was one of the village elders that had pointed him in the direction of where to go. "Young man, you have chosen to drink from our waterfalls. But you did not heed the warning that was written on the rocks." Sandel let out a very audible gulp and looked over at Leon. "Looks like I jacked this one up pretty good."

"Sandel, you will be cursed with the form of a dog; for your reckless behavior like a wild mutt" The elder spirit dissipated into the air around him and he could see a thick white smoke begin to surround himself.

She had been reborn with a new hunger it seemed. He felt the pull of her every need and then some when she sat up and placed her lips to his. He would break that contact to pressing his index finger to her fat full mouth with a "nuh uh...".
"You my dear...need to focus on the things that really matter. You need to cool your head both from the effects of my bite and ... heiden." he hoped that by bringing him up she would remember the mess that had previously been made. Sleeping with the doctor right now would be just disastrous. He was also her trainer. This couldn't happen. Not now. He unhooked her legs and turned her back on her. It was a very very hard thing to do especially what with his species desires but he was strong. It was for both of their own goods. Before he could get himself into further trouble he began to get out of the tub.
"Your a lovely girl Shiara but you've just got so much growing to do still. It cannot be compromised. Let this be a good test for you. Control your emotions." the bite was all he was willing to give right now and he just hoped that she didn't take this as rejection. They had so much more training to do. Raziel would leave the hot tub room with an "Excuse me, I ought to be getting back to my office and research." he smiled at her and left.

She recoiled at first...she had no idea who or what it was. She got that it tried to speak but got defensive when it seemed to produce a knife. 'Whoa there...' she said taking a few more steps back. Suddenly the being seemed to struggle and fight with it's self falling to it's hands and knees and...disappeared through her floor! "w-wait!" but it was too late.
Onyx ran out of the door and would run right smack into Raziel. Literally. WHAM "Ooof!" she'd go. Giving her head a shake her first words would be 'Did you see the glowing thing fall through the floor!?"

Raziel was stunned he rubbed at his chest with a little squeak of an 'ow' and when Onyx started babbling he stopped. "Are...you alright?" he asked. Actually now that he had a good look at her ... her hair was a bit frazzled looking and her face was flush. "Are you...ill?"

"y-yes...No...I mean...nuuuugh" she said grabbing her forehead. She recalled what she had been doing in the lounge in the first place. "Raz...we...we need to talk" she nodded for him to coming into the lounge with her. Together they would have a sit down.
"Look...I am sorry about...they way I may have said things and handled things in the kitchen. Just...a lot has been happening you know. The rebuilding of Lockeport, which by the way is undergoing it's very last details. I haven't seen so many real estate agents in my life. Then...Heiden and his graduation, this issue of training....the possible treasure hunt...and then....my personal life." she huffed.

"Wow...I...hadn't realized things were this complicated. I accept your apology. I too am not happy with how things went down in the kitchen. I... would really appreciate it Onyx if you could find the time to discuss with me, properly on your reason for your hesitation in training the girl. As for right now...seriously...are you alright?"

"Raziel...what...what do you know about...trauma. I mean the effects of trauma on an individual...?" onyx asked Raziel nervously. "I ... think I might be losing my mind"

Raziel was worried. 'Well...patients with say PTSD or PTD can have hallucinations. Um experience things from the past as though they were real.' he said.

Onyx shook her head vigorously "No. Anything else?"

Raziel thought a moment "Sometimes people can show emotions or develop traits that they didn't have before. Things like over aggression." he added.

Onyx sort of made an 'eh' sort of face. "Raziel....i am naturally aggressive. That doesn't help me at all. There has to be something damn it! Something...wrong with me" she looked away.

"Maybe if you told me a little more about what it was that happened to trigger all of this I could help you better. I have nothing to go on." he sort of sighed and laughed.

"I was...reminded today of something good...brought on by something I thought was negative. It really confused me because I found myself...wanting the very thing I KNOW i hate." her head slid into her hands.

"Kind of reminds me of when people under go certain types of trauma. example a rape victim, you would think that they would become recluse. They end up turning out to be sex crazed. I think it is believe to be the human brains way of trying to cope with the trauma."

Onyx blinked at him....she looked away from him pale white and blank of expression. She refused to put together the pieces of this riddle she knew was inevitable. "I see. Well...thanks anyways Raziel. Maybe with a little more thought and relaxation I can figure things out." she said. Onyx would leave the subject and continue to tell him about her other situations going on in her world. All accept the one.

[Gatrick Swayze]

With smoke completely hiding his body, he could feel the transformation begin to take place. It started with his rear end, a tail sprouted and started to wagging around wildly. His head shifted in bone structure, becoming en-longed with his mouth and jawline extending outward to deal with the canines that had formed in his mouth. Sandel's ears moved towards the top of his head turning black and pointy. Short jet black fur grew all over his body, making his body temperature rise several degrees and a long tongue to hang out of his mouth. With his spine changing form, the treasure hunter found himself on all fours, his arms turning into legs, and his hands/feet turned into paws to support his frame. Within only a matter of seconds, Sandel the human was now a Doberman due to the curse from the water he drank.

He sat on the floor, his tail wagging madly and he looked around the bar with a new perspective. Everything around him was much taller and he could no longer see the top of the bar counter. Trying to speak all that came out was "Woof!" Startling himself by how he sounded he cocked his head confused. It would appear the woman had not been joking, he was completely a dog; though two things remained on his body to let people know who he was. On his left leg was the tattoo of a geisha with rose petals, a tattoo that had been on his left arm. His eyes were still grey as well from his human form. Sandel felt one of his ears itch and he brought up a leg to scratch at it, like a dog.
