[RP] The Inn of Peace - IoP (Open to all)

[MacPere]

MacPere smiled as he was pulled away from, promptly raising Gren's hand to his lips and giving its back a kiss. "I do believe so... Wow, where to begin..."

He looked down to the floor and mulled it over, eventually lifting his head and looking to Gren. "Alright... I guess it all started when I was 14 years of age. Constant talks of inheriting my father's business had me so curious of his work, I followed him as he left for 'work'. It was then I found what he really dealt in. Of course, the bank of his existed, but it was the illegal trade which really fueled the empire."  

[Gren_Eckener]

Gren sat, listening, attentive. "Illegal trade?"

(DAMMIT. Have to go soon. Be back on ASAP)  

[KelticStar]

Star sighed.Things were quiet in the Inn.She got up and got herself some wine.  

[Angeles Valentine]

Anegles put the ribbon of the book on the page to summon the owl and then slipped it back into her coat. She then closed her eyes and thought to herself, Crimson Von Helson. 617 years old, born in Durem, bitten by one of the many Von Helson vampires. Killed 700 civilians in the past year, feeding off of only 300, changing only 2. 10 hunters sent after his bounty, none have returned. Protected by a guard of one hundred, thirteen concubines, one for the theatrics. Castle is surrounded by traps and labyrinths alike.

Angeles sighed and opened her eyes, "every time I seem to get closer to getting rid of Crimson something new comes along and almost kills me, I might need to get some help for this one," she probably wouldn't though, if there was anything there was her pride as a hunter. She would not share the bounty with anyone no matter how tough the going got.  

[MacPere]

"Mm... You name anything and the year it was made contraband, my father sold it to those it didn't belong to. So, I had followed him, contrary to my mother's advice and found him selling weapons to particularly brutish pair. They began arguing and... Before I know it, I am being dragged from my hiding spot. I don't remember much after that, all was very foggy, but I do know tht the next thing I hear is my mother crying over me and hugging me tightly, despite the fact that my body was aching and bleeding in various places. The man I had called my father had given me over as collateral until the units the brutes had ordered arrived. "

MacPere laughed nervously and squeezed Gren's hand, flicking his eyes up to make contact.

"I heard from his assisstant, my friend, that it wasn't the first time and tht he had once even offered my mother so... I killed him."  

[The White Lily]

Zefi hadn't been able to find a shower that was... completely closed. She assumed that the lake would be too cold right now and it was best not to electrocute every last thing in the water... So where was she supposed to find a completely private shower? Zefi knew there was only one answer. At the house.  

[KelticStar]

Star continued drawing as she drank her wine.She wondered how her friends who weren't here were doing.  

[Gren_Eckener]

"Oh..." Gren's brow furrowed delicately at this news. It was hard to admit you'd killed a man, especially your own father. Still, he'd hold his opinion until he'd heard the rest of the tale.  

[The White Lily]

Zefi decided she could wait until she was ready and decided to look for an old picture...  

[MacPere]

"Of course, this made me feel like a monster but... everyone was better off. Even if it meant that my mother resented me from that day onward."

MacPere shakes his head and continues.

"But... we move on to my late teens. I have inherited the business and... I wed. To the most beautiful woman you would ever have met. She... Well, she became pregnant by the time I was 18 and... I was overjoyed. Nothing could have upset me; I was set to have a family of my own." He took a deep breath and choked a little. He thought that the subject would no longer effect him, but it still held him in a chokehold, even over a decade later.  

[KelticStar]

Star got up and made some tea.She poured some into two cups and put some milk and sugar beside the cups on a tray.She also put a few snacks that go well with tea on the tray.On a seperate sheet of paper she wrote:

"I figured you guys might be thirsty and hungary since it's been awhile that you were down to get something to eat and drink, so I made some tea and snacks for you.I hope its ok.

*Star"

She put the peice of paper on the tray and teleported it to were MacPere and Gren were.Then she doodled more on her sketch pad.

((g2g..brb in about an houror so;bye ))  

[The White Lily]

Zefi decided she desperately needed a shower and her magic wasn't near strong enough to do anything good to get her to her sister's house. Zefi decided she would go to the freezing cold lake. Zefi pulled on a jacket and brought and extra change of clothes with a towel to help.  

[Gren_Eckener]

Quietly, Gren handed him a tissue. Such heartbreak...he'd never experienced such a thing as his friend had. Whatever had happened, it clearly had a bigger hold on his heart than he'd ever let on.

When a tray appeared in the room, Gren half-wondered why everyone had taken such an interest in the two of them, and jerked his head slightly towards the tray, silently asking of anything was wanted from it.  

[The White Lily]

((sorry for the really really long post))

Zefi went outside where it was slightly windy and headed towards the lake. She was shivering already mostly because she was out of energy. Zefi fell asleep so often it was hard to believe she was so tired. She realized she hadn't brought Mimilly practically anywhere since she started talking to jeff... How odd. Zefi had reached the lake and began to set up a fortress of leaves every around a section of the lake blocking every possible entry point. She reinforced it with mud and sticks and every thing she could think of till it was no longer shaking in the wind. She kept it up with her power it draining her and had light around her to keep her from the pitch darkness in her part. She got undressed and headed into the lake. "oh-mi-god-its-so-cold-so-so-so-cold!" She exclaimed but stayed in. She was shivering more than a hurricane but continued to wash. She stepped out soon feeling very awake and re-dressed. She brought down her fortress ma jig and it was no longer dark. She dried her self off not remembering to earlier and glanced at her now damp clothes. It was better than nothing though and she headed back toward the Inn shivering like a leaf in winter before it falls down from a tree.  

[MacPere]

MacPere laughed bitterly and shook his head, perhaps he would take something later - when he was feeling less of a wuss.

"Uh... She was around 7 or 8 months down the line, she couldn't even see her own feet, and we were just driving back from the monthly hospital check-up. We were so fixated on getting all arranged as we had just completed the nursery and that's when it happened. I turned to look at her and a car appeared from nowhere, speeding directly for her side of the car. We were in traffic so... It... It hit dead-on."

His eyes avert to the floor again and his brow furrows, holding back all the rage, all the sorrow, all the grief.

"I immediately blacked-out but... when I came around, all I could see was crushed black metal and bright green. Paramedics were scrambling, attempting to free us. I heard them shouting about a metal bar and... It was only when I'd reached the hospital it clicked. My wife had died from bloodloss via the metal bar inducing a miscarriage. I had everything and then... lost it all."
