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

[Valentine Valtieri]

Erik laughed to himself. This was already interesting. He would focus on the music, but he would focus more on the players. They seemed like nice enough people. He leaned back to listen. Zulma seemed like she knew the song best. But then again, anything could happen.  

[Gren_Eckener]

"Hm...for opera, piano. Sax for other things. Besides, I don't want to take her out much until I have a new case."

He took his place at the ivories and sat at ready.  

[MacPere]

With a nod for Gren to start up, MacPere began.

"You have come here in pursuit of your deepest urge, in pursuit of that wish, which till now has been silent,

Silent..."

MacPere approached Zulma slowly, gracefully, with a finger held to his lips. His eyes reverted to that of his old days, seducing harlots in bars; narrow and carnivorous.

"I have brought you, that our passions may fuse and merge - in your mind you've already succumbed to me; dropped all defences, completely succumbed to me...

Now you are here with me: no second thoughts, you've decided..."

His voice dropped to an almost sinister level as he stepped around her, circling like a lion would its meal.

"Decided..."  

[Zulma san]

Zulma let MacPere approached, her eyes playing afraid and shy.

The woman looked at the finger on his lips, softly biting hers. She allowed the music and the lyrics to penetrate her mind with delight. Gren's fingers were playing with agility...

As MacPere circled around her, she closed her eyes, letting his voice bewitch her. MacPere's voice was catching the tons and intonations of the song with perfection, making it a caress, soft and passionate.

She could almost feel his breath on her neck as his low voice repeated 'decided'. A sweet shiver came along her spine as she reopened her eyes, catching his with strength.  

[Valentine Valtieri]

Erik enjoyed the music. Even more the playful love going on the stage. He smiled. He noticed he was still slightly bleeding. He ignored it, the armor made it barely visible.


(you guys... xd )  

[Gren_Eckener]

Eyes low, remembering the keys from playing it before, Gren played as best he could, to the highest quality. He needed to get this right.  

[MacPere]

"Past the point of no return -

No backward glances: the games we've played 'til now are at an end..."

MacPere smirked at Zulma and closed in, his circling slowing.

"Past all thought of 'if' or 'when' - no use resisting: abandon thought, and let the dream descend..."

He seized Zulma and ran his hand down her neck and across her collarbone, to her shoulder, petting the skin with a smirk.

"What raging fire shall flood the soul?

What rich desire unlocks its door?

What sweet seduction lies before us...?"

He extended his hand to grasp hers and kissed its back gently, flicking his gaze to her eyes.

"Past the point of no return, the final threshold - what warm, unspoken secrets will we learn?

Beyond the point of no return..."  

[Angeles Valentine]

Angeles rested her chin on her hand and watched with sparkling eyes the playing out of the phantom of the opera. Not wanting to disturb anyone she had misted through the cracks of the door and into her shadowed corner. She noted that Erik was there, still bleeding, as if just to spite her, but she would ignore him for now. For now, she listened and watched, wondering how well Zulma could sing.  

[Valentine Valtieri]

Erik smiled. She was back. He wouldn't bloodlet himself as that would be a deadly mistake. He continued to listen, and continued to pretend to be oblivious.


(You've been gone long, have fun?)  

[Zulma san]

Zulma abandoned herself when MacPere grabbed her and his hand caressed her neck. The feeling of his skin on hers was enticing. As his fingers lingered down to her now bare shoulder, she sighed of pleasure.

Her gaze followed him as his hands strolled down her arm and took her hand to slightly brush it with his lips. She locked her eyes in his or maybe he locked his in hers. At that point she did not know and she did not care. She just enjoyed the game and the music. Gren's fingers supporting their game with mastery.

As MacPere finished to sing, keeping her at arm's length and yet leading her towards him, Zulma's smirk was as wide and seducive as MacPere's.

It was now her turn to sing and she broke MacPere's hold by stepping to the side. Her voice raised shy and pure, the pitch was perfect, although it did not have the strength of MacPere's.

You have brought me to that moment where words run dry,

to that moment where speech disappears into silence,

silence . . .

She sand her eyes half closed, gazing in front of her. She seemed lost in her song.

I have come here, hardly knowing the reason why . . .

In my mind, I've already imagined our bodies entwining defenceless and silent -

and now I am here with you: no second thoughts, I've decided,

decided . . .

Her eyes slowly turned to MacPere as she whispered 'decided', passing her hand on her bare shoulder.

 

[Gren_Eckener]

Gren played, adding little bits here and there, a scale or two laced into the tune, making it all the better.  

[MacPere]

MacPere tried not to show how blown away he actually was, as he was supposed to remain in character. Such a sweet and chaste voice... It lacked strength, but made up in pitch - well, that and the simply captivating tone.

He cocked his head to the side slightly, but kept his shoulders broad and strong, showing the masculine character he was portraying.  

[Angeles Valentine]

Angeles covered a laugh. This was as much a game of cat and mouse as it was recreating a scene from a movie, she wondered how the two would end up holding out. She wondered what Gren thought of all of it, though he seemed to elated from becoming free to care much about anything.

I bet I could burn his clothes and he would find the silver lining in it, she chuckled imagining the silver lining gren found: 'Oh dear, well, at least i can remain in my semi-natural form for my beloved to behold whenever he chooses.'

She butchered his personality but it was amusing nonetheless.

((Yeah, we went to the bookstore and window shopped. Then we went to the movies. then we walked around a few stores for a while before he brought me back. It was fun, we'll be going to the mall tomorrow.... god I sound girly -.-))  

[Valentine Valtieri]

Erik's wound was healed. The blood was gone. He looked over at Angeles. "Cold blood..." He thought to himself. He wondered if she really was exactly what he heard. The rumors said she was a demon. He'd find out later.


(No, it's sounds fun, except i window shop on the inside, which really defeats the purpose, i bought a new jacket)  

[Gren_Eckener]

Gren glanced up and smiled warmly at Angeles as he played. He owed her his life, after all! He'd have to do her some kind of repayment somehow, sometime....like the lion and the mouse.

Playing the meoldy so strikingly that the piano boomed with hithero unknown force, he carried on.

(Aw, sounds nice, though! I don't have anyone to go shopping with...)
