Carolyn yelped at the sudden noise and jumped from her seat, but as she did she fell over onto her face. "What the hell!?" She looked down and saw her shoelaces tied to the legs of the table. Luckily the table hadn't fallen over on top of her because it was bolted to the floor. She heard giggling and looked over to the doorway, seeing Merida and Kasumi. Her eyes glowered as she snapped her fingers and her shoelaces came untied from the table. "That is not funny!" She yelled as she advanced towards them. Merida shook with laughter as she watched Carolyn stalked towards them. Oh the woman was upset, but that only made things funnier. ~~~~ Constance grinned widely at Jess' and Kaen's approval. "I am glad that you like it." She looked over to Mariamma who was unfazed by everything that had happened. "There is a piece for you too Mariamma.""Oh thank you my dear," Mariamma said with a smile. "I cannot wait to eat it." She looked around the kitchen. "Well I am done here for now. You guys make any other mess, make sure to clean it up, yes?" She hurried her way from the kitchen.

Kasumi tilted her head before her finger twitched lightly, the chair tilting backwards before the whoopee cushion let out a loud gassy burp. "Sometimes it's the classics that have the most impact," she said with a grin. "You really need to relax and have some fun, besides..." she said with a giggle before she shifted her middle finger. The thin thread she'd used snapped, releasing the water balloon filled with whipped cream down onto Carolyn's head.
Merrick chuckled as he shifted his weight, though he heard a creak momentarily before he half turned just in time to catch a balloon full of bright pink whipped cream in the face..
Kaen shifted his weight thoughtfully, tilting his head. He blinked upon noticing the foxish ears on Merrick's head.
Jess tilted her head, noticing Mariamma didn't seem all that startled by the fact that she and Hobbs were actually large anthromorphic animals. she

Carolyn spluttered as the whipped cream drenched her. Her eyes narrowed and as she did so the whipped cream flew off of her and onto Kasumi and Merida. She smiled sweetly at them. "Having fun? I can do that."Merida laughed hysterically as Carolyn retaliated on them. "Well it's about damn time. You've always been so aloft...a stick in the mud."~~~~~ Constance chuckled as Mariamma left the room. "She's really amazing," she said to Jess. "She's worked here so long that I don't think anything surprised her anymore."
She got up and gathered their empty plates, taking them to the sink so that she could wash them. She turned as she heard something splatter and saw the balloon full of whipped cream hit Merrick in the face. Her mouth fell open in shock and then she began to laugh.

Alede OOC - What item were you thinking of seeking in the other roleplay?
Kasumi giggled before she tilted her head, her tongue flicking out and licking the whipped cream off her face.
Merrick stumbled a couple of steps backwards, coughing slightly as he'd inhaled a small amount of the whipped cream. "It makes sense she's a prankster... Kitsune are natural pranksters," he said wryly.
Kaen tilted his head with interest. "She'd do well at the Abbey," he said in a low, deep voice.
Jess blinked when Merrick stumbled back, half covered in bright pink whipped cream, unconsciously, she began giggling. "Feeling a little homesick, eh?" she said, teasing her old friend.

Kaosujin Ryu omg...had a thought..to make it more interesting..what if Constance's father was Cassandra's brother? Like it doesnt happen often, but he switched over to the dark coven? maybe she was too young to remember him when he switched over?...oh and the other item would be Storm's cape Carolyn smirked as she smoothed out her hair. "I suppose this is how it's going to be from now on?" She asked as she looked between Merida and Kasumi. She knew the two had always been close friends, so no doubt they could come up with some wild things to do. Before they had shown up, she had been thinking of ways to get to know the other coven leaders better. She had always been so sheltered that she really didn't know how to make new friends outside of her own coven. ~~~~~ Constance was still giggling as she cleaned the dishes, dried them off and put them away. Life was getting more interesting in two ways. One, they had the evil guys they had to defeat, and now two--they had prankster in their midst. She had a feeling she and Kasumi would get along just fine. ~~~~ Cassandra whimpered in her sleep as her head moved from side to side. She dreamed of times past. Of when she was a little girl.... She was four years old and everything was quiet in the house. She had heard raised voices for a while, but had been too afraid to go down to see what was going on. Finally she made her way downstairs to find her mother in her study, staring out the window. "Mommy?"
Her mother turned, a small smile on her face. "Come here my little angel."
Cassandra hurried to her mother, scrambling up into her mother's lap. "Mommy what's going on? Where is Ambrosius?" Her eyes were huge as she looked up at her mother.
Her mother sighed and shook her head. "He's gone Cassandra. Your brother is gone and he isn't coming back I am afraid. Some things were said...and he is angry with me....I am sorry."Cassandra gasped as she sat up in bed, her hand over her chest. How could she have forgotten all of that? Her mother..her mother must have done something. Of course she did. As a child, Cassandra had been so distraught when her brother had left. Her mother must have wiped all her memories.

Alede OOC - It can start anytime you prefer. I already put my own profile up. Intriguing idea and one I like.
Kasumi shrugged. "Maybe, maybe not," she said thoughtfully. She smirked after a moment. "Besides... I have some tricks that may surprise you," she said as she giggled before he form abruptly dissolved into water that splashed on the tiled floor. "Some that can definitely come in handy for distracting and pissing off those idiot demons," she said with amusement as she crossed one leg over the other just behind Carolyn with a grin where she sat on the table. She had replaced herself with a water duplicate of herself when Carolyn had been hit by the prank balloon.
Merrick tilted his head as he concentrated, heat rising in his abdomen as he sighed. He didn't notice the aura that was predominately gold with reddish edges flickering around him.
Jess blinked as she noticed a subtle aura of energy forming around Merrick. It felt protective and determined, but in no way malicious.
Lorcán frowned, jerking awake as he heard Cassandra whimper. His eyebrow cocked upward as she suddenly sat up, wide awake. "Something wrong?" he said quietly.

Kaosujin Ryu okie dokie..I will go check the other one in a moment. Carolyn looked over her shoulder at Kasumi and chuckled. "We have much to pay those demons back for." She ran her hands through her sticky hair. "They have killed too many of our kind, they held you captive and they still have Constance's mother."Merida slung her arm over Carolyn's shoulder. "Right you are Carolyn! Glad you're seeing it our way now." She grinned at the other coven leader. It was about time the woman came to terms with what needed to happen. ~~~~ Constance looked over at Merrick when she was done with the dishes. The kitchen was spotless, just like the one back home. She hated to leave a dirty kitchen. "So, what now?"~~~ "Memories...memories buried deep and long forgotten." Cassandra looked over at Lorcan with wide eyes. "I had a brother once...an older brother. I was four when he left our coven. His name...was Ambrosius." She closed her eyes as she took a deep breath. "My mother...she made me forget. I looked up to him..I worshiped him. When he left I was devastated. I don't know how, but he switched covens, he got the mark of the dark coven. It just..changed. There was a fight between him and my mother. I heard it as I sat up in my bed. He never came back home...I must have seen him half a dozen times after that, but he never said anything. He ended up taking my father's last name..." Cassandra held her face in her hands. "I don't understand...why I am remembering now..."

Kasumi tilted her head. "I assume you both noticed Merrick's unusual hair color; it is the mark of an extremely powerful and old bloodline that I will admit is demonic in its source. It came from a demonic knight that, centuries ago, bound nearly all of the demonkyn with his own power and blood. As I heard, he had three sons, all that had the same signs of his bloodline, which manifests in two main forms: a demonic gauntlet and the silvery white hair. It is possible that Merrick is descended from one of the three brothers. Nonetheless, he will need training to control his growing powers," she said, her tone serious for once. She inhaled, sliding the sleeve of her shirt up to reveal a quarter sized tatoo on her inner forearm a couple of inches above her wrist that was glowing a deep crimson with purple edges. Merrick shivered slightly, his eyes opening slowly but glowing a brilliant blue. "I think it'd be smart to train, if for no other reason than to control our new talents both magical and otherwise," he said quietly. He didn't notice that the deep bronze and gold gauntlet was flickering in and out of sight in momentary flickers of gold lightning. Jess' gaze dropped momentarily, noticing an odd gauntlet. It seemed that neither Merrick nor Constance noticed it. Lorcán tilted his head as he had an idea he didn't like. "It is possible that there is something, either a person or event, that is triggering these memories and weakening the memory seal," he said thoughtfully.

Kaosujin Ryu posted on the other one..gonna be gone for a little while...helping my mom move...okay well not leaving just yet...but in a little while Merida said as she let go of Carolyn. "She is descended from the oldest of the demons as well. He's powerful and cunning, but I am sure has an ego to match. That will be his downfall. His belief that he can beat anyone or anything."~~~~ Constance nodded as she listened to Merrick. She thought she saw something flickering around him, but she paid it no mind. "Then we had probably better find Kasumi and Merida. They would be the ones to help us the most I think." She looked over to Kaen and Jess with a smile. "It's been nice meeting you."~~~~ "I..I don't know." Cassandra sighed as she shook her head. "Maybe it's from being around Constance for so long? I don't think I have ever been around her so long. Or maybe when I was trapped..." She stopped speaking as her eyes widened. "Constance is my niece...wow..."

Alede OOC - Understood; I know the feeling, since I've been doing the same with my sister.
Kasumi tilted her head thoughtfully. It seems Merrick instinctively knows about his demonic bloodline and is trying to see if he can awaken it, she thought.
Merrick nodded. "Then if we find Carolyn, we'll find them," he said quietly.
Kaen chuckled deep in his throat. "Don' worry too much about it, lass," he said cheerfully.
Jess' giggled as she shrugged. Slowly, the illusion of her human form reappeared before she spoke. "Feel free to drop by anytime," she said with a grin.
Lorcán blinked, surprised. That is something I didn't expect, he thought.

Kaosujin Ryu yay for helping family move Constance waved goodbye to Kaen and Jess as she left the kitchen. She had no doubt that Merrick would be right behind her. She already knew where they were. Like Lorcan could communicate with Merida, Constance could find her when she needed her. "They are in the library." She said as she removed her finger from the small inscription tattooed on her left wrist. ~~~ Merida smiled a little when she felt the connection between her and Constance. "They are on their way."~~~ Cassandra threw off her covers and swung her legs over the side of the bed. She just sat there as she looked at Lorcan. "I can't believe the spell held that long. Normally memory repression spells don't last that long." She pushed herself to her feet, but had to hold onto the bed frame as she wavered.

Kasumi tilted her head thoughtfully. "I have found several methods that are good for training both control and increasing magical reserves. Few people know that what we use as 'magic' can also be used as other things and other ways," she said with amusement. Merrick tilted his head, not surprised. He followed after Constance, his gaze scanning around thoughtfully. Lorcán caught Cassandra's forearm and for an instant, caught a flash of something he didn't recognize in his mind's eye. "They don't unless there's some sort of binding that holds them," he said quietly, thoughtful.

Constance frowned as she walked with Merrick towards the library. Something felt different. As if something she should know about was lurking below her conscious mind. She gave her head a small shake. "Well this should be fun. Learning from your mother and Merida."~~~~
"Well I am glad that you found something," Merida sighed as she leaned against a wall, waiting for Merrick and Constance to arrive. "Because I don't even know where to begin."~~~ Cassandra leaned against Lorcan for support for several moments. "Well there is no use dwelling on that right now. What's done is done." She looked up at him. "I have another niece," she said softly as a small smile spread across her face. Her family just seemed to be growing.

Alede OOC - Be careful; you don't want to drop anything heavy on your foot or something (did that yesterday with a solid oak entertainment center).
Kasumi shrugged. "People use it everyday and don't even know it. Martial artists know it as 'chi' while others likely know it as other forms," she said thoughtfully. To prove her point, she pulled out a small throwing knife and flicked it at Merida. It seemed to hit her, though it dispelled in a burst of smoke to be replaced by a rose. "Illusions, elemental attacks, and other tricks are quite useful. Misdirection can be the most overlooked thing that is rarely expected," she said with amusement.
Merrick tilted his head thoughtfully. "I have a feeling that it'll be more challenging than most would expect," he said thoughtfully, not noticing Constance's frown. He had quit trying to summon that odd.... warm energy... when they'd left the kitchen, so the gauntlet was no longer flickering in and out of existence but was simply not there.
Lorcán smiled slightly. "Pardon the joke, but we're all just one big magical family," he joked.

Kaosujin Ryu lol I get to watch the baby while everyone else moves stuff...I got it easy Merida said with a smile as Constance entered the room followed shortly by Merrick. "I felt you coming." She pushed herself away from the wall. "Soo Kasumi and I think that the two of you should start training. There is so much potential in the two of you." Constance managed a small smile and nod. She still felt something funny. It almost felt like something was broken. "Yes, Merrick thought the same thing." -------- Cassandra chuckled softly as she pushed away from Lorcan, but kept a gentle hold on his arms. "Yes, one big family." She smiled at him. "I think...do you think we should wait to say anything until some of this dies down?"
