[[OOC: God, I love that squirrel. you guys always make me laugh with him because i can just see it doing those things. it's awesome!]]
Mirana sipped her tea and acknowledged the boys. "Ben pek çok şey yapabilirsiniz," she said to the boys. I can do many things, she said in her native Turkish tongue. "What is it that you so desire to know in particular?"
Marius accepted the answers and watched for a few moments as the little creature explored his new abode and haphazardly stuffed his face with food bits. He smiled and turned down the hall to head into the business room. He unlocked his safe and withdrew a short stack of paper checks that had been handed to him from the last two nights. He would bring them to deposit them into one of his many bank accounts at the market. He had more than enough cash on hand, so there was no need to cash any more.
Speaking of which, Marius retrieved a large brown satchel for which he placed his checks, and a medium-sized sipper bag filled with cash within. The bag served two purposes: one, to carry the money, and two, to hold anything he so chose to purchase. He locked his safe and the door to the room as well.
Mirana looked off into the distance and saw the small peck of the dirigible arriving. Her seemingly never-ending cup of tea, still piping hot, was replaced in her magical rucksack and she stood to stretch. Her old aching bones creaked and popped as she stretched, and then she let out a relaxed breath.

ʆʉɳѦ Ҭɑӄɑʂђɨ Luna shook her head and smiled. She stood up and stretched before grabbing some of the bags of supplies. Her slender arms were strong and had no trouble with the bags. After a few trips, Luna had managed to get almost all of the supplies out to the aircraft. When she came back inside to locate everyone else, she danced as she walked. At one point she actually did a few front hand springs, careful not to knock anything over. Her graceful movements made that fairly easy though.

OoC: As of right now, I am under a lot of stress with school work. I am behind due to some difficult essays. On top of that, I have really bad writer's block. So Astra, feel free to skip me over. If I can manage a post at some time, I will, but right now, I can't even think of anything to post. I am very sorry.

The boys looked at one another, then to her. They put their fingers to their lips and whispered, " We have a secret." The shuffled closer to the woman but did not crowd her. " Güzel, how are we to keep our secret without the Handsome Master knowing? We have kept this secret for so long, even the slaver did not know. You give us hope with your powers that He would not mind us." They looked up at her as she stood, if she had advice they certainly could use it. She finished washing the dishes, setting them out to dry. She very carefully lifted the cage with Cutie inside and moved it to the shared bedroom. Cutie chirped and flustered as he settled on a small hammock swing, this made moving much less scary. Gracelyn set the cage down near the bed and sat on the floor. Cutie peeked out and touched his nose to hers. She whispered, " Be good. We'll be home soon and then we can play." Cutie chirped, diving into the cage and shuffling around. She gathered a few of her tokens to sell, several of the larger stones she'd been tossed and left unclaimed. She left the room after tucking the items away and out into the
((OOC: I know those feels, Panda. Finals are coming up and I've got some papers to finish. Break a leg, Dear!

Mirana, never hesitating in her strides, replied to the boys, "What exactly are you blathering about? What secret? Is it something you wish to speak to me about?"
Mirana and the twins arrived on board the dirigible and she sat down on a long, plush sofa alongside one wall. She reached into her bag and retrieved her bottomless tea cup, then sipped. "Come now, boys, talk."
Marius locked all the rooms that needed locking, and intercommed the house. If they wanted to shop, they'd all be leaving shortly, and to get on the aircraft. The half-tiger shifted his bag and headed downstairs, grabbing an apple from the fruit basket on the counter before he left.
When he got onto the aircraft, he went into the back boiler room and retrieved five explosive bracelets, as well as the master bracelet, from the combination chest within. He overheard Mirana talking with the boys, but didn't quite comprehend the dialogue over the sound of the engines and boiler. He left the room and strapped on the master bracelet on his own arm.
"Jaegars, please put these on. Do not take them off, unless you favor losing your life. The girls will explain these devices further when they arrive. Have them come find me when the board. I'll be in my quarters located within the hull."
Marius bowed respectfully towards Mirana and then made his way to a secluded room where he opened the door to find a royal blue velvet hammock and ivory-accented mahogany desk. He placed his bag on the desk with the bracelets and laid perpendicular across the hammock, hands knotted behind his head. He wasn't tired, wasn't bored, he was just thinking.
He had a lot of plans, and little time to accomplish them.

 Rose Byrne Rose got on the dirigible slowly. The large aircraft made her nervous to be honest. She sat down and fidgeted with her dress. She had brought some of the jewels that she could trade for money, since she needed to buy some clothes and definitely needed to buy some shoes, seeing as she had never owned a pair in her life, and still needed some. She looked up at the twins and Mirana, wondering what they were talking about, not that she would interrupt them.
OoC: I managed a post! Yay! First thing I have really even written period in a week! I can barely even talk to people... I think this is the worst writer's block I have ever freaking had.....

ʆʉɳѦ Ҭɑӄɑʂђɨ Luna hurried onto the aircraft and sat by herself. She didn't want to inconvenience anyone. She looked out the window as she waited for the craft to take off. The desert spread as far as the eye could see, in all it's dusty splendor. She cast a quick look at the other people on the aircraft and then returned her view to the desert. Luna was looking forward to their trip into town. Maybe she could get a few new things. The thought interested her. Luna never really owned anything of her own.

The boys took the bracelets, smiling and chirping their delight at the little items. Donning them without qualm- they waited until their master had left before finally answering the woman. Jaeger formed a small orb of flame in his palm, it took a bit of focus to keep it as it was. Jaegar took in a breath and blew gently onto the flame, a shell of thick ice appearing around it. They held it to her, hope in their eyes. Jaeger looked over his shoulder at the arrival of the blond sister and he told her where to go; as per the masters order. Gracelyn boarded, thanking Jaeger with a nod. She lingered a moment on the boys secrecy before shaking her head and looking to Rose and Luna. " Come along, we need to get our bracelets," she cooed gently to them both. She would wait for them to rise, then lead them to the directed location- giving a polite knock.

Rose Byrne Rose watched as Luna, and then Gracelyn, boarded the dirigible. "Well... That is everyone I suppose..." she thought softly. She was just about to curl up in her seat then, planning to sleep through the trip, when Gracelyn told them they needed to get their bracelets. Sighing softly, she stood and followed Gracelyn, hoping the day would go by smoothly.

Mirana set down her cup temporarily and took the object from the one twin. She gazed over the iced fireball with genuine interest. "You have quite intriguing gifts, my sons. Why do you feel you need to keep your powers secret? Clearly you know that Sahip is a very broad-spectrum being. He may rather enjoy your talents." Mirana handed back the object and took to her tea once more.
Marius opened his eyes as he heard a knock on his door. "Enter."
He sat up and watched as Rose and Gracelyn entered his cabin. He nodded his head and stood. As he made his way over to the desk, he entered a series of code on his own wristband and activated two more of the other bracelets.
"Come closer, girls, and I shall fit you with your bracelets. Come now, and tell me, what do you plan on purchasing in town?"

Back in the boys hands, the ice peeled away and the flame extinguished. They both seemed tired. Jaegar shivered at the question of the secret keeping, " Our last master did not like it." " He made up fight one another for his amusement," Jaeger grimaced. " Our handsome master is still within the rejection month." " We have yet to meet a master who will keep us past a particular time frame." " I want to trust him, he's very kind." " I want to believe him, he seems clever." " But we do not want him to want us for this talent." She walked in, being mindful of Rose- sometimes it was easy to forget about those smaller than you when you were as tall as she. She watched him rise, her heart fluttered and mouth felt dry- she felt foolish but... maybe she was supposed to wear this feeling of love for him with pride. Gracelyn flushed, she didn't care for the bracelet much and fidgeted a bit. She'd never run away from him, why would she? She bit her lip, a little color coming to her face as she put her hands behind her back, stepping infront of Rose to keep her from receiving one. Her first act of defiance, she looked at his neck and asked with unusual presence, " Sir, what happens if we are wearing those and someone takes us?"

Mirana gave a toothy half smile. "Do you think, boys, that if Sahip did not like magic, that he would still be associated with me? Use sense now! Your master is a very unique lover of all talents."
The gypsy stressed the last part, knowing full well that the boys had already been bedded by Marius. She had to amit, they were very talented twins, though they did tire easily. Mirana put away her tea and searched once more in her bag as the aircraft sped upwards and out towards her home. She retrieved an old crimson box, flat, like it would hold a piece of jewelry.
When Mirana offered the box to the boys, she knew it did indeed hold something. It held two necklaces actually. These necklaces represented balance, and a few other things.
"When you wear these, you will not get so winded when you use your powers. They won't keep you from exhaustion, but it will help you draw from each other and maintain better stamina when you perform. They have some other special properties too, but you don't need to know about them right now. Now if you please, I'd like to rest awhile before we land." Mirana shooed the boys and closed her eyes, instantly falling into the deepest level of sleep, and snoring slightly.
Marius was shocked when Gracelyn interfered when he went to place the bracelet on Rose's extended arm. His eyes narrowed out of sheer irritability, then relaxed a few seconds later. His question was not one out of the ordinary that he hadn't heard before. In fact, he was curious as to why it had taken so long in the first place.
Marius stepped around Gracelyn and attached the cuff to Rose's wrist.
"These cuffs are very special pieces of equipment, made by a collaboration of many people, myself included, to which certain protocols were established. The bracelets, though seemingly insignificant, can detect heart rate, body temperature, and much more.
"In the event that someone were to grab any of you, there are at least sixteen fail-safes that would prevent the cuff from detonation. One of them is a code phrase that I shall teach you if you wish to know. However, if the code is used and you are not being taken, the cuff will not respond, due to the many other variables. These cuffs are intelligent biometric mechanisms that just simply...know things."

Rose Byrne Rose had silently already stepped forward, her wrist extended, when Gracelyn so very boldly stepped forward, knocking her wrist to the side and blocking her from their master. She stood there in shock, though listening. Slowly, she realized Grace's question was one that should have been asked sooner.
Rose watched with wide eyes as Marius stepped around Grace and attached a bracelet on her own thin wrist. She looked at the cuff, wondering such a simple looking thing could do all that. Slowly, she looked up. "I would like to know the code phrase... Just in case I am grabbed..." she said softly, not completely sounding well, but that was just due to her not liking the dirigible.

Marius nodded at Rose's request.
"The code word is simple, when you get the pronunciation correct. It's a Russian phrase, as this failsafe was designed within Russia." Marius hit a few buttons on his cuff to temporarily turn off the other cuffs.
"Отпустите меня!" Marius said aloud. "That is the phrase. It literally translates to 'Release me!' Go and practice, little Raven, but only so much as a whisper. Wouldn't want to send out any false positives."
Marius re-engaged the cuffs.
"Well, dear Grace, do you feel that you or someone will be captured today? I assure you, we shall take every precaution to return home with as many as we took. Now, fetch Luna for me, if you please. She needs hers as well."
