Sitting in a small room that was situated at the back end of a local bar in one of the major cities, Zephyr had his eyes closed as he took a long drag from his cigarette, sitting on the windowsill and enjoying the night air. Letting out the smoke, blowing soft rings, he opened his eyes, revealing that one had it's sclera a pitch black. "You should have killed all of them, Zephyr." the voice rang through his head loud and clear, and he rolled the one eye he was still in control over, "We were paid to get in, get the information, and get out. Not kill them." he retorted, the rest of the smoke escaping his mouth as he spoke. "Ah right, you're in it for the money and fame on the black market - as well as your own carnal desires of intercourse. You don't delight in watching the light fade from someones eyes and taking their soul.." the voice was deep and scratchy, like a mid-twenties man who sat in a bar alone drinking scotch on the rocks as he twiddled his thumbs as he mourned another failed date. "Oh shut up, Oblivion. Death isn't needed all the time.. I enjoy killing people well enough because of you, I just don't want to do it unnecessarily. I get that you enjoy death, being as creepy as you are, but we've been together for ********. Get used to it, asshat." Zephyr growled, closing his eyes again and shoving the Malice to the back.
He just wanted to be alone for a bit, but he was stuck with the second soul that had been shoved inside of his body not long after he came into existence. While the two generally got along, he still wanted occasional time to himself, but when you shared every waking and sleeping moment with someone, something, that could take control of the body you thought was your own when you first started living..it got well, it got annoying at times. Other times it was exhilarating, delightful, and an all out joy to revel in the utter chaos that was two souls co-existing within the same body. Though Zephyr had always tried to make sure they didn't step too far out of line, following the laws and rules of every place they were at - eventually becoming a Mercenary or an Assassin or even whatever the employer needed to get the job done - as long as they got money.
Taking in another long drag from the cig, Zephyr let out a slow sigh, looking out across the city that he was currently calling his home for the next two weeks. It was a decent one, though he was thankful that he had purposefully thrown himself under a car about seventeen years back to rid himself of his wings which made him an easier target. Rolling his shoulders, he looked back at the long scars that ran up his shoulders and onto his collarbone, the reminder of the ability he had to fly. He could still sort of fly...sort of. It was really just falling with style.

Turn to Dust or to Gold//001 ++++(Type) Entry ++++(Specifics) A couple days before Parley. ++++(Music)Centuries - Fall Out Boy
I might have bitten off more than I could chew with the recent assortment of jobs, but hey they all pay pretty well. It shouldn't take me too long to go through some of these, but I need to make a list for myself so I can keep them in order. More so because Oblivion won't be pleased if I miss an assassination job.
[Name - Type - Payment] Government Contract Job - 200k Aleta Brassington - Missing Persons - 5k Taylor Palmer - Assassination - 20k Government Contract Job - 15k Penelope Gabor - Assassination - 20k Sophie Harper - Assassination - 20k Cary Salazar - Missing Persons - 5k Government Contract Job - 10k Government Contract Job - 10k Theodore Barber - Information Gathering - 2k Tricia Santiago - Information Gathering - 2k Glenn Schultz - Assassination - 20k Geneva Phillips - Information Gathering - 2k Clara Wood - Assassination - 20k Government Contract Job - 50k Tyler Maxwell - Assassination - 20k Doreen Jimenez - Information Gathering - 2k Samuel Stewart - Information Gathering - 2k Haven Contract Job - 100k Milton Hayes - Information Gathering - 2k Government Contract Job - 75k Reginald Freeman - Assassination - 20k Brett Maxwell - Missing Persons - 5k Eula Vaughn - Assassination - 20k
I know I once swore myself years ago to never kiss and tell, but sometimes it just needs to be shared, or at least written down. It's sometimes a delightful thing to do, to look back on an experience you'll wish to remember in the future, maybe. Who knows - I might not need this, but oh well. I don't know the future, I'm not that sort of Meta, and if I was I'd hate it if I could see the future. ******** it, the future can come to me.
A couple days ago, I got a call from my favorite doll of a bartender for the Jukebox, and was told I had a lovely little lass waiting for me in the club. So, I tell her that I'll be there as soon as I can, which will take me about a day or so because I had some jobs to do. So, I show up yesterday at the bar, pretty late into the night already, and I get some info on the girl.
Sweet little thing, a bit robotic for my taste, but I think I can fix that, right? It's always fun getting the women to come out of their shells, literally, and enjoy that firework like sensation. So we get to talking, the little lass and I, and I take her to my room.
She was, man, she was quite a thing. For a beginner that is - she was so much fun. Sadly, when I woke up, she was gone. Might see if she's still around and see if she'd like to go again. That was a night I'd like more of..

Assume the position//003 ++++(Type) Entry ++++(Specifics) 10 Days after Gift - Partial NSFW text; insinuates things. ++++(Music)Get on Your Knees - Nicki Minaj (NSFW-Song)
Okay so, update since the last one, good GODS that was..just. Man. For someone new at all of this, she is FANTASTIC. I might have made her jealous as I was enjoying some time with a busty babe in the club, she ended up dragging me off and I just. Oh man. I'm still sore, my neck has bruises from her hands. That was just...oh man, I can't. I don't want that level of relationship, like what I tried to be with Sono, but I want to stay around her to continue this, whatever this is. I think we both enjoy eachothers company by now, but we're not interested in saying vows or going to that sort of level. Intimacy is nice, but...I don't think I can rightfully pursue whatever people consider a proper relationship. I do enjoy being around her, like a best friend, best friend with benefits? Hm, will have to think this over.

Can't get rid of you//004 ++++(Type) Entry ++++(Specifics) A week after Exposure ++++(Music)Nicotine - Panic! At the disco
I never thought that I would enjoy being around someone as much as I enjoy being around her, be it for missions or not. She's a delight to be around, and I want to keep her around. It's like she's my nicotine...even though I already get enough Nicotine from my cigs. Ah, whatever. I can still taste her on my lips, and I day-dream about the awful things she does to me when she's off on a mission while I gather information about new ones.
Speaking of smoking, I need to get a new pack of cigs. I might check out a local tattoo parlor and check the prices...
I thought... I told her not to go on that mission. I told her, but she didn't listen. She didn't come back the night that she had gone off, wearing the red dress..the red dress I despise. I hate it now.. I want to burn it. I went to the hub.. [the writing gets a little shaky here] I over heard...a guard. He had her hair.
I found her..barely alive. I couldn't... I almost lost her. I don't want to think about what I would have done if I did lose her.
I saved her.. I did it - but.. I ...he.. he's gone - once he found out that she had Ashral, the one he apparently he had been looking for he left.. he's gone.. but - But
I still have her.

Despite the Warnings//006 ++++(Type) Entry ++++(Specifics) Day & a half after Poultry ++++(Music)Stronger than You Undertale Ver.
I let her go. I let her go, of her own free will. It hurts, it really does, but I told her that I would take her back if she comes back on her own free will - and I will always take her back. I want her back, but she won't come back just yet. I need to let her do whatever it is she thinks she needs to do. I just want to hear her voice again, and not the one I had heard as I was leaving, that horrible robotic voice that hurt my heart. I want to go see her, to hug her, to kiss her, but I need to wait. I have to wait. I can't go see her right now, even if I knew exactly where she was, as they'd just kill me. I'm an enemy, not an ally...I just hope I can hear her voice again here soon. She promised that she'd call me...

I'm going to try and help her, at least help her get back to what I remember her being like. Seeing what I did before I left her alone with them made me uneasy, if actually sick to my stomach. I got in contact with Zaku an his lady friend, Cordelia I think her name was, and we've come up with a plan.
I am so sorry, Kees, but we're going to have to do this. Corlyrr would kill me if he found out..

It had been working, it had been working out so well...but then. She got taken - I let her get taken - I let him take her...because it would have gotten others killed. I let her go because it's...what she would have wanted, I think. I'm not sure. I need a drink, or several drinks, after what had happened. I just hope that she's still alive, I really really do. I love her, and I want her to be safe, but I just got so scared after what I saw, so I ended up following her ..just to make sure... Hexxis, please be okay.

Phonecall//010 ++++(Type) RP ++++(Specifics)Two days before tree
Looking down at it, he arches a brow and answers it, "Hello, Zephyr Kardos speaking." he said with a very exhausted voice, clearly having been traveling for a bit.
There was a bit of silence on the line before a voice finally came for. "Is it really you?" she asked, her voice was robotic and bland but it was obvious she was trying to make herself believe it was really his voice.
Zephyr looked a little confused by the silence, but as he heard the voice, he smiled a bit, though it was more out of amusement by the question of if it was really him. "Well, I did answer it as being myself, so I'm pretty sure I would know if i'm me or not."
"You could be lying..." she retorted almost jokingly even if it didn't sound like it.She smiled faintly, even if there was a hint of pain in her eyes. "I couldn't hear you when I was in Belrad. Are you okay?"
"Oh - Yeah, I was just called to do another job from a friend, so I'm going to do that real quick before I take an extended vacation." Zephyr smiled a bit, leaning into the seat of his rental car, "How are you feeling yourself, though..?"
"Better..." she responded. "I... I remember almost everything." she informed. There was a pause, "A lot has happened.. I am with Tri and I will be staying with him." she spoke, her sadness surfacing only briefly.
He smiled wide, "Well - just...try and stay safe, alright? I'll be around if you need me. Don't hesitate to call.." Zephyr took in a breath and held it, "I love you.."
She actually smiled, "I will. And you as well." she spoke back softer. "I know... I love you, too." she responded with a sigh. "I just needed to hear your voice again..." she inhaled, holding it for a moment before letting it go again. "I will acquire another cellphone, this one is temporary.. When I do, I will call you again so that you can talk to me once more. I hope this is acceptable."
Zephyr chuckled a little bit, "Yeah, that's fine. I just hope things are well for you now, I was worried.." he looked up at the traffic light and ended up pulling off to the side so he can keep talking if needed.
"Minor injuries... But I am fine. Ree came to save me..." she paused, "I know you tried. I apologize if I had hurt you..... I didn't know." she kept walking, looking upward to the sky as she kept moving. "Tri was able to change my programming... No one can control me with commands anymore besides him... but I trust him."
"You didn't hurt me." He smiled a bit, "I'm just happy that you're acting more like how you were when I had met you....." he let out a happy sigh, "Oh, I do...have your sword. It was sort of...left and I didn't want anyone else to have it.."
"That's a relief." She blinked, "I didn't know if you had still needed it... If you dont, I can summon it back to me..." she responded calmly. She looked back and sighed, "There is more people now, I should go."
"I don't...need it, but i sort of would like to keep it around..for a little longer." He chuckled a bit, "Alright. I'll talk to you later."
"Alright then." she nodded slightly. "...until next time.."
"Love you." Zephyr said quietly.
"I love you.." she responded back quietly, reluctant to hang up but did nonetheless.

I...he. Oblivion sent me a letter, well written, well worded, but he sent me a letter. He said that we can have one last fling before he leaves me for good. I know I shouldn't except it, but honestly? I had a crush on him, my own Malice, for a long time. It was quite difficult to actually accept it, it still is, and goddamnit, he is pretty damn hot. I guess I'll at least go talk to him, go see what he wants. Maybe get a proper goodbye instead of him ripping me to shreds, hahha.

A thousand lies have made me colder//012 ++++(Type) Entry ++++(Specifics) A couple hours after tree ++++(Music) Here without you
He lied to me, that ******** lied to me - lied to my face. He used me, he used me....he used me like a pawn to take someone else's queen. For what? Petty revenge because his original plot didn't work...because he just used people like pawns, even the person who he had coaxed into loving him. I can't believe I fell for it too, fell for his words, the words he's said to others, to trick me. Just so he could get what he wanted...just so he could kill her and take her soul... but I, no, we stopped it.
Ree, where ever you are, I am so sorry. I never.... I didn't think that meeting up with my old Malice to talk would be a bad idea. Looking back on it now, it was such a stupid idea, such a stupid thing to do. They're called malices, for ******** sake. Of course they're bad!
I just, I wish I could have done something to stop him, but I don't have the power for that. I trapped her soul for that time to prevent him from doing whatever it was he wanted to do. I can't remember full now, that entire thing was getting fuzzy after I got stabbed through the chest.
I do have... I just.
Thank you, for not killing me. You had the chance, but you didn't.
Thank you...and I'm sorry.

Sweet baby jesus that hurt, I knew my brother hated me, but he decided to nearly re-open my wounds after healing me. I know he hates me still for what I had to do back then, but for ******** sake, I'm trying, Cory. I can't be the paradigm of holy justice because I'm a demon - it's literally in my blood to not. You're an Archangel...
Mom always loved you and Kees more anyways, you two angels.
I'm not going to lie, I was always jealous of the attention you got from her, the constant preening and praise, the adoration and affection....
No, no. I need to not go down that road, I'm past that petty childhood grudge.

A place for you to rest//014 ++++(Type) RP/Dream ++++(Specifics) Couple of days after Tree - Partial NSFW
Zeph: /comes back from a mission, wearing a full suit, starts to strip down/
Hex:: -just stares, not even breathing-
Zeph: /looks up as he's undoing his shirt/ You okay, love?
Hex:: -exhales shakily- ..no. -bites her lip- ...Keep going.
Zeph: /smiles and doing it much slower now/
Hex:: -staring intently, swallowing hard before standing up and walking over to him quickly, helping him rip his clothes off faster as she kissed him deeply, hands messily clinging to clothing and pulling with no real direction other than to remove the while not even looking-
Zeph: !!! /is quite surprised, though a little upset as the suit had cost quite a bit and had been tailored to fit him/ hey, I thought you wanted a show
"I changed my mind." she forced out through heavy breaths, moving a hand to the hair along the back of his head, pushing her body closer to his. She honestly didn't know how to convey her strong desires for him, just acting without barely thinking, knowing what she wanted but not exactly the way to get there. "I just want you.."
He laughed a bit, amused by how easily her desires were seen through her actions and reactions, "Well, I don't want you to destroy this suit, so you're going to have to sit back down and watch as I strip for you." Zephyr's smile turned to a grin, leaning in to kiss her lips, then her chin. "Maybe we'll be able to use the chocolate tonight."
Hexxis clenched onto the fabric she was secured to with one hand, reluctant to let go. She stared into his eyes, part of her not wanting to care about the suit, but the other half wanting to do everything he said, his way with words was difficult to ignore. She was slowly losing grip as he kissed her, her breath heavy from the touch of his lips. Then there was the offer of chocolate that she absolutely could not resist as she slowly stepped back, uncurling her fingers from his hair and clothes. Hexxis took enough steps to sit back down carefully, even if she never looked away from Zephyr, her gaze completely fixated on him as she waited for him to continue.
His grin faded back into a smile as Hexxis moved away from him, happy that the mention of chocolate got her to not rip the suit off of him. Moving his hands back up to the half-unbuttoned shirt, Zephyr went back to unbuttoning it, slowly revealing his well scarred and freckled chest. Shrugging the shirt of his shoulders and throwing it onto the ground once it slid off his arms, he hooked his thumbs into the belt loops and looked at Hexxis, a smirk starting to play on his lips. "It's been awhile since you've been this fiesty."
Hexxis bit her lip again, as the hands in her lap tensed within her focus. "It has been a while since I have seen you in a suit.... or rather... taking one off..." she retorted, her monotone voice not exactly robotic, but more of someone who was so enraptured by something that they merely spoke without thought or inflection. Taking a deep breath, it was quite apparent she was fighting the urge to get up again, just to run to him and continue where she left off.
"Well, I don't tend to wear them much anyways, but if you want me to wear it more, I can." Zephyr chuckled a little bit, starting to remove his belt, folding it over itself and snapping it once he had removed it from the belt loops. All that was left were the pants, and his boxers - if he had decided to wear any.
"Even if you wore them more often, I don't think you would be wearing them for very long." She commented, her gaze watching his hands move slowly. Hexxis inhaled as he folded over the belt, the sound of the snap causing her to flinch and sending chills down her spine. She exhaled deep laced with a soft noise of desire. Hexxis leaned forward slightly, still fighting her urges that demanded she take him. "Somehow this feels like torture.. Even if it doesn't hurt..." she whispered softly, anticipating what lie underneath his pants.
"Well, good. I do like and enjoy them, but the fun is taking them off and watching you squirm, waiting for me to be under your delicate, yet precise, fingertips...watching your eyes walk all over me as you wait to press your delicious lips to my skin..." Zephyr closed his eyes as he spoke, slowly undoing the buttons of his pants, having opted for a pair that had three buttons instead of the usual single button and a zipper. Once all of them had been undone, he slid his pants of, letting them hang at his hips for a second before just dropping them. For once, he was actually wearing boxers.
His words were like soft silk across skin giving her goosebumps, afraid to close her eyes even just to feel the words caress her body. Hexxis was gripping the bottom of her dress tightly, biting her lip harder, her gaze softening just slightly. Everything was screaming to move, to feel, to grab, to bite, but she obediently remained still, just on the edge of her willpower. Her body trembled more with each button that was released from its hold, just the sheer view of his pants hanging on his hips causing her hand to rise to her mouth and she bit her finger reflexively. Today would happen to be one of the few days he wore boxers, letting out a quiet strained whimper, the anticipation driving her thoughts into a frenzy, begging to taste his soft flesh.
Closing his eyes, he started to slowly remove his boxers, inch by inch. He did enjoy teasing her, as it made the pain she gave him much more delicious. "Mmm.. you know, I was thinking of asking you to marry me.." Zephyr stated rather nonchalantly as he continued to strip, eventually, finally, letting his boxers drop to the floor.
With each inch of flesh that slowly revealed itself to her fixated stare, there was a heat that built within her that started at her thighs and only continued to spread through her greedy body, hungry for more than just to watch. She had to act, no longer able to resist the temptation. The suit was off and that was all she needed in reason to get up as quickly as his boxers hit the floor. Barely giving Zephyr a moment to breathe from his statement as she almost immediately returned to her advances on him, locking her lips into his. Hexxis pulled at his hair much harder than before as her other hand slid across skin, no longer hindered by clothing, raking impatient nails down his back paired with a soft possessive growl that conveyed how bothered she had become by being forced to wait even if she had been technically given the choice. "Then ask me later..." she whispered softly, leaning to his ear to let him feel the breath of her wavering voice before she bowed her head enough to grab flesh of his bare shoulder in her teeth. She wanted him to feel the pain, his punishment for teasing her far past what she could control even if he only felt pleasure from the wounds she caused.
Letting out a pleased moan into the kiss as the nails went down his back, he grinned a little bit. "W-well, aren't you fiesty?" He asked, wrapping his arms around her and just letting her have his way with him. "Mmm but i don't want to ask you later, I want to ask you n--o....w.." his words were nearly cut off as he tried to pull away from her as a sudden pain shot through his chest, his eyes darting down to look at his own exposed chest. In the center of it, just below the sternum, a wound appeared - one that mimicked the one that he had received recently.
