Welcome to Gaia! ::

Heyo Reeshie!!

Elizabeth: *snoozes under a tree*

Oh yesh, like 2 and a half hours now!

Elizabeth: *slowly wakes up and stretchs, yawning*

*kicks the connection* Don't start that, got a half hour to go!

Elizabeth: *lays back down on her belly and licks the pad of her paw*

What Reeshie said, Hector and Elizabeth!!

Elizabeth: *stretchs her front half* Pirate I may be, but I am still a lady!

Woot, Lizzy is gonna be a mommy!

Trade sent Lumi!! *snugs preggers Lizzy*

Elizabeth: OwO;; ..............HECTOR!!!!!!

Hahaha, so bad Reeshie!! *debates going to bed now*

Elizabeth: *jumps down and dashs to him and snatchs his hat off his head and starts to chew on it angrily, growling*

Everybody Mambo!!! 8D

Elizabeth slowly woke up from her deep sleep and she lifted up her head first, letting out a wide yawn, revealing her own fangs. She then slowly stood up and uncurled herself from the clams, stretching herself and wincing from a few muscle cramps, but they went away quickly. She sat down with her tail wrapped around the clams loosely, rubbing her eyes with her paws.

Hey Lumi? Can I ask or say something about the otter clams? Nothing bad, just something that sorta popped into my mind cause I think about things too deep! x3

Oh wow, if you really want to, go right ahead, I certainly don't mind!!

Elizabeth yawned one more time and looked over at Hector, smiling, "Yes, I really did need it." she said, looking down over the three clams they kept with them.

Elizabeth giggled when he plopped his hat on her head and she pushed it up a bit since it was a bit big on her head. She rubbed her stomach, now just realizing how hungry she was. She gathered up his coat and folded it properly and then set his boots straight next to the coat.

I'm sorry Summer! If it helps, it rained all day here and has been so cold!

or maby not xd
Voldy: *randomly lounging around*
Magda:*chasing butterflies*

Sleepy z_____z

Whisper: *hides behind rock*

Poit! I think so Voldy but how are we going to get Lumi to hulahoop with that polar bear? 8D

Voldy: Why this involves no polar bear my dear Mel.....*wider evil grin*
(dies laughing at mental image of Lumi and polar bear)

*dies of laughter at Hel's response* XD

She finally ate her fill and was surprised to find she ate a whole lot more then she wanted to. She nudged any of the meat left to Hector, going over to the horned clam and curling her tail around it protectively. "Or someone we might have to chase down almost everyday..." she commented.

O.O!!! OOOH The plan with the cheetos and the hampster wheel? XD!!!

... oh. *disappointment* XD heehee

Voldy: No, no the plan is quite simpler than that*He smoothly rises to his feet and stretches* We simply take something that they can't survive without or... someone......*He quickly jumps over Mel's form and onto the rock above the sleeping Whisper, He reaches down and grabs her sleeping form, hoisting it over his shoulder and running into the woods*

wahmbulance Whisper has been otternaped!!!! wahmbulance

sorry Mel Voldy did it feel free to beat me!!

Oh noez gonk

Whisper: *still asleep, starts snoring in Voldy's ear* z_________z

The female otter rolled onto her back and kicked her legs a little, muttering something about being cold.

Voldy: He looked over at Whisper tossing form and entones a warming spell, he didn't need her waking up and shouting all over the place for help, Yes much better to keep her asleep and happy.... for now. He took up his former place at the entrance to the hole and continued his vigil*

(I'm going to have to stop it here guys I need to get some sleep up at 5 and it is 12:20not a good combination, I'll be back tomarrow sooner if this rain freezes heart sorry but I figured I should stop it befor it became too involved sweatdrop )

Voldy:As an after thought he places a barrier and silencing charm on the enternce with a flick of his wand and a muttered "Protago" and "Senorous" preventing anything unwelcome from getting in....or out while he sleep

I'm only using spells from the books/movie so don't worry about me pulling something too random out of a hat.

Drake: Someone to raise 'im.... Right. *glances up and chuckles lightly at Cid as perches on Elizabeth*

I can't put Drake in my sig for some reason... >.<;
*tries again and mutters something about a stupid internet*

There was the sound of a tongue clicking against the back of sharp teeth.
Pearl sat on top of a rock, shaking her head, and the trio's father walked around said rock. It had been the quick female that had tsked her younger brother and she slid gracefully from her perch and walked up to the gathered otters beside Hector.
"Having troubles, my dear?" Hector asked, walking to Elizabeth and nuzzling her gently. Pearl stopped and sat down beside her mother, smiling prettily and tilting her head a bit so that her hair covered a little bit of one eye.

At this, Hector sat and one paw rose to rub his chin in thought. Perhaps the boy needed a talking to.
"I'll go talk to him," Hector replied and shed hat, coat, and boots before diving smoothly into the water in search of his youngest.
"Mother, why is Cornelius angered?" Pearl asked softly after her father had left, looking from her mother, to craning around her to look at the water and then back to looking at Elizabeth.

Drake's ears pircked up as his sister and father approached. His dipped his head curtly to them both, pushing up his hat when it fell over his eyes. He straightened his jacket before adressing them. "'Allo Pearl. Lovely attire you 'ave. Makes you look very elegant, might I say." He grinned and turned towards Hector. "Ah, 'allo father. S'been some time, 'asn't it?" He cast a questioning glance towards his mother. "What set 'Nelius off?" He bit his tounge, silently wondering whether the answer to that involved him somehow.

((Slow post >_<; ))

Pearl blinked in confusion and looked to Drake when he questioned their mother.
"But... that doesn't make since. He's stronger and bigger than both Drake and I," she offered her two pence, a rare thing for the more reserved female. Even among family did she rarely speak, and almost never over a soft spoken tone.

Meanwhile Hector slowly made his way through the water in search of his son, finally spotting the sharp tail spines near some roots. Apparently Cornelius was hunting, by the look of the situation with his son hiding in the shadow of some roots and the nearby school of fish. Hector moved slowly into hiding himself, to watch his son.

Pearl frowned and studied her mother.
"But how would he know this, unless you told him?" she asked and thought for a minute. By the look in her eyes, her clever brain was quickly processing the information.
"Mother... did you feel the same for Drake and I?"

Hector watched proudly as Cornelius attacked the largest fish and killed it, taking it to the surface. He followed and broke near his son.
"That was a good catch, son," he complemented, nodding to the dead fish in Cornelius' jaws.

Pearl felt that the answer she received wasn't sufficient, but she wasn't about to press her mother, not when the brother in question had just resurfaced. She gave him a small nod and grinned a little sneakily, for no reason other than that she could.

Hector followed his son to shore and climbed up, shaking a bit of the water from his fur and clothes.
"Cornelius, when you are done with that, I would like you and I to take a walk together," he stated. Some might have considered the statement more of a command, but Hector's children knew that unless they were in trouble, their father would never demand something like a walk.

Hector's eyes narrowed right back and his whiskers twitched.
"Don' be givin' me that look, pup. Grown or no, I'm still your father," he said, his tone slightly scolding as he looked at the fish.
"I said after you were finished with that. Not goin' to waste a perfectly good fish, are you, son?"

((*Is getting her a** handed to her at Spellforce*))

Hector frowned at his son before following. When they were a ways away from the rest of the family, he told his youngest to stop.
When Cornelius stopped, Hector deftly spun around and the flat of his tail made a loud thwack against the back of his son's head. Not hard enough to really damage him, but enough to hurt.
"That, is for talking back to me. What is wrong, Cornelius? I would have thought Elizabeth and I raised you to have more respect than that towards us," he sighed and sat down, his whiskers turned down in a frown.

Pearl copied her brother's shrug and added a small shake of her head. Cornelius was more angry than usual, Father seemed angry, Mother was upset, Drake was confused, and she... Well, she was wondering if she was too clever for her own good.

((Sorry if I puppeted a bit. If you don't like it, I can change it.))

Pearl shook her head at both her mother's and Drake's comments.
"I like to learn on my own. Papa learned that quickly an' le' me be. Said I got i' from 'im," she explained, a string of words surprising in length for the normally quiet female. She looked to Drake with a "Give me a break" look and shook her head.
"Two crayfish says you've ne'er even seen a bob in your life," she bet against her brother's story, giving him a small grin.

Hector sat back and let his son yell at him, ears set back slightly. So much anger... At this point Hector stopped caring whether Cornelius yelled at him or not.
"It wasn't like I had much of a choice. Elizabeth wouldn't let you out of her sight for two minutes. An' I had nothin' to do with Drake nor Pearl's raisin', either. Drake was always off adventurin' an' Pearl... Well, she takes after me in that she doesn't like to be taught by anyone but herself. So when you think about it, you were the only one actually raised by either of us, so stop your complainin'," the older otter replied civilly. He turned to the angelic boy that had spoke and frowned just a bit.

"Aoi, I think we should let them be. Father-son time," a mellowed voice said from above and Abel floated down from a nearby tree. He landed and motioned for Aoi to follow him before walking off away from both areas occupied by the pirate family.

Once the angelics were gone, Hector turned back to Cornelius and shook his head.
"I can't believe you would think that I care less for you because you're a demon, but I guess we've never gotten a chance to talk. I expect so much more from you then your brother and sister. I've seen you in the water. You're fast and strong. I can't tell you how proud I am of your abilities," he added and shook his head again. He'd guessed he just wasn't cut out to be a father long ago, and this just strengthened that belief. Pirates just didn't make good parents, considering most never knew theirs.

"Ah, well you 'ave no way ta prove i', an' I 'ave no way ta prove otherwise, so i' seems we're at a stalema'e," Pearl retorted with a sly grin. She'd just refuted her own bet, however the pleasure at being able to refute Drake's outweighed that.

Hector didn't even stop to blink before replying.
"Wonder, yes. Neither your mother nor I am a demonic, so we did wonder how one of our children could be, but I never said there was anything wrong with you," he replied and stood. He had stepped back into his shoes before walking off to talk with his son, so all he was missing was hat and coat, which he would retrieve soon. He turned and took a few steps back towards the others, but paused and looked a bit over his shoulder at Cornelius.
"If Elizabeth blamed herself and thought there was somethin' wrong with her that caused you to be the way you are, she never told me," was all he could manage to say. Pirates didn't make good parents, the short string of words repeated in his head. A rift had grown between him and Elizabeth of late. The pups were grown, of a sort, and it was clear that none of them really needed him, so he decided the best course of action was to just return to his old hunting grounds. Go back to the old times, just him and... Well, Mar would probably want to stick around Smee and the cozy den; she hadn't been used to having a den and took to the one off the China Sea very well.
It looked like he was back to being on his own again.
'Nothing wrong with that,' he thought. But if that was true, why did he not enjoy thinking about it?

Before Cornelius left, Hector nodded his head and mutter a quiet, "Will do, son."
Oh, he would have listened. He never ignored Elizabeth when it was important. True, he didn't know how to handle a lot of things when it came to feelings and the like, but the least he could do was listen. He took a slow breath as Cornelius fled into the water, straightened his shoulders and walked back to where he left his belongings, looking to the world like the same slightly arrogant, high-mannered, fashion-sensible otter that he always was. But inside he just felt old.
He nodded to son and daughter as he passed them, walked to Elizabeth and flipped his hat onto his head. He then took his jacket into his teeth and flung it around his shoulders, not bothering to slide his paws into the sleeves.
"When you get a chance, tell your son there's nothin' wrong with 'im. And stop worryin' so much," he softly told Elizabeth, touched his nose to her cheek, and walked away before she could say anything back.

Pearl merely shrugged at her brother's inquiry.
"Bein' an otter, like you an' me, I would 'ssume. 'e dozes a lot," she replied. Speak of the devil, their father walked back through their little area and briefly spoke to Mother before walking off. The smallest of the trio had a sinking suspicion that this would be the last time she would see her father for a while and fought down the urge to run to him. She knew as well as any that if you went somewhere on your own, more often than not you had a reason to. And she wasn't about to bother her beloved papa.

Pearl's eyes widened to the size of saucers when their mother literally tackled their father, grabbed his hat, and shook it fiercely. She turned her wide-eyed gaze on Drake for a brief moment before dashing off, away from their mother and father, partially hoping that Drake would have the sense enough to follow her lead. All-in-all, she just didn't want to know.

Now, a part of Hector had considered the possibility of Elizabeth tearing after him, but never would he have come up with her actual reaction. His face connected hard with the ground and he lay limp beneath her for a moment as he attempted to get his scattered wits back into one piece. Finding the task too difficult to complete with her standing on him and whipping his hat back and forth, he growled a bit and tried to shake her off.
"What the devil are you doing?! What's come over you this time?!"

With his face shoved into the dirt once again, Hector realized his best course of action was to just fall limp, something he was loathe to do, but did so anyways.
'Ball's in your court now, Lizzy,' he thought to himself as he lay very still, waiting for her next move.

Pearl heard her brother call out behind her and slowed to a stop near the riverbank.
"You're slow, Drake. Ev'n little Corny's faster than on lan' you are," Pearl taunted her older brother with a cheeky grin. She didn't mind so much talking to her brothers, especially when she was teasing them for one thing or another.

Pearl smirked at her older brother and tossed her hair back over her shoulder.
"I'm jus' good that way," she replied and dipped her tail into the water. With a skillful flick, the fin on her tail splashed water at Drake.
"Ha! Out-ran an eagle my paw. If you ev'r ev'n seen an eagle, I bet you hi' in a bush," she retorted, sticking her tongue out at him.

Hector sat up and shook himself as she huffed and spoke. He shook his head and held out a paw.
"Mind's made up, Elizabeth. Your son made it perfectly clear how much I'm wanted in this family. Face it. You picked the wrong otter to start a family with. My kind doesn't know how to be a part of a family. All we know how to do is ruin them," he retorted, eyes narrowed slightly.

"There's always been tension in that family, from day one," Abel said as he walked with Aoi. He sat when Aoi laid down on the rock and slowly shook his head.
"I've tried to help, but it just seems to get worse, especially with their youngest. And it has nothing to do with what he is, only that he is different and that his mother drilled that into his head, though most likely on accident," the priest continued, tapping his tail thoughtfully on the ground. After a moment, he looked up and tilted his head to one side.
"Aoi, how come I've never seen you fly?"

Foxx calls for... GND Valentines day reenactment! 8'D
*lauches Jareth... into the fray!*

Jareth: *appears regally from a cloud of glitter* One does not launch a king. *sits up with a dignified huff towards his 'captor'*

Edit: *waves to ane* :3

*twitches, now getting the evil eye from more people than need be* 8D;;;

Jareth: *snorts* Incompetent bat... *snaps his fingers, only to have Foxx disappear* I'm sure you'll do nicely in the bog~ *blinks, catching something from the corner of his eye, and turns to see Sarah* Ahh, so you're the reason why I'm out here so... spontaneously.

I am sure Morgy can find something to make as a Valentine that Ketsu can understand.

Jareth: One could only assume... *gives her a speculative look* Altough, if I may pry as to why a Miss Sarah Williams is alone today on the day of Saint Valentine~?

*pulls self out from bog* =A=

@Ree: Oh-ho, don't think the thought hasn't already crossed my mind~

@Moochi: Even if she read it to him, I'm sure he'd love it~ It's such a cute Valentine! He's a softie for those types of things <33

It's all from the heart.

Jareth: My, my... A girl in need of an interesting male for today. And I... *glances to the side, as if seeing if there would be such a male around before gasping and placing a paw over his chest* ...happen to be rather an interesting male myself~! *smirks, sliding up to her side* What are the odds~?

@Ree: Oh, you may have a point there xD

@Moochi: But of course~! They're such an adorable couple x3

Ketsu: *carefully makes his way over to a tree back near Morgy's den, sitting at the base of it and sniffing around to see if anyone's home, all the while holding something gently in his paws*

Nuuu, mah interwebz is crapping out ;o;

Ketsu: *ears perk as he heard a sound from the entrance of the den, but confirms the scent as Morgana and emerges from his spot under the tree, following the sound of the rustling noises as he stumbles awkwardly through snow, (never have being able to navigate as well through it) and leaving a reddish trail behind* How's the most wonderful otter in the world doing today? *smiles softly as he approaches her, using his sense of smell to lean down and nuzzle her cheek*

Jareth: No... It really isn't a goblin-esque holiday... *recalls the numerous times his subjects snuck away to the Aboveground to bring back heart-shaped boxes of candy and chocolate, spending several hours trying to decipher what they say, only to wind up eating them... cardboard and all (Of course, he managed to stay clear of the throne room during this)* Oh come now, precious. Catch up with the times. This is a time to exchange love and affection. Or as most of you modern-day mortals see it as, anyway. Unless you'd want to consider a candle-lit dinner for two as a feast. I see no objections for that~ *grins, conjuring a thornless white rose into his gloved paw and casually offering it to her*

@Ree: I know, just a little stumped on what to say next xD;

Awwww, Ketsu is the sweetest male around!!! *gets all sparkly eyed*

Morgy: *smiles at him, wagging her tail, but blinks when he shows her what he is holding. Blushing brightly, a loving look went on her face and she rubbed her cheek against his affectionately* Oh Ketsu, it's beautiful, and I love it so much.

Jareth: I must, I must~ *flashes her a pointed smirk and chuckles in amusement* Ah, but love, when your only other options are to either be in a tree or in a room full of goblins choking on cardboard and tinfoil, I think you'll find that this is a fairer choice, by far~

Ketsu: *smiles in relief and nuzzles her forhead* I'm glad you like it. I hope I didn't get too much blood on it...

Keehee, our awkward little Ketsu~ |D

But he is such a sweetie!! Ooo, I wanna cuddle him up!

Morgy: *smiles gently and lays her head on his shoulder, looking down at the clam* No you didn't, but even if you did, I like your blood.

Jareth: Given their normal diet, not as much as it should. *sighs and shakes his head* We're talking about a species that would attempt to consume a Molotov cocktail while it's still lit.

Ketsu: *curls his tail around her, feeling a little bashful at her compliment before sighing airily* Have I ever told you how much I love you?

Watch out! Blood stains don't come out easily, Mooch! >o>

I would keep the shirt forever and never wash it!! @3@

Morgy: *smiles and presses her nose to his cheek, like she is kissing him* Everytime I see you, I know you do and I love you as well.

*held at sword point by Lizzy and Elizabeth before she plays some cheese a** love song*

Jareth: *releases an exasperated sigh* Trust me love, I've tried. Problem is, they make it themselves. *grimaces in distaste* Goblin ale is as horrendous as, if not worse, drinking directly from the Bog. An' it only takes one sip before you're careening around in circles. *nods solemnly, as though speaking from experience*

Ketsu: *purrs softly and licks her nose affectionately, pressing closer to her side* Ah, what would I ever do without you?

Oh Moochi~ |D
*has Rod Stewart's 'Have I Told You Lately' going through her mind at the thought of this scene right now* |'3

Edit: I feel like I'm about to pass out, so sorry if I randomly poof xD;;

I did too, and I was gonna play it, but I don't think my Pirate King and her protege agree with me!

Morgy: *curls her tail around him and squeaks when her nose is licked* I don't know, but I don't like to think about it.

Jareth: Extremely desperate times call for extremely desperate measures, precious... *shuts his eyes, nearly shuddering at the memories*

Ketsu: *slowly nods in agreement and tips his head to the side before sighing happily* Happy Valentines Day, Morgy. *hopes there will be many more Valentines Days like this to come*

I think that would be best, Ree xD;

Catch you cats on the flip-flop~! ;3

*saves what part she has so far in the rp response before poofing off to bed*
