Beatlas first kiss

[Tell] To [Jaroth]: Sully tries to telepath to Bea. "Beatrice?"

[Tell] From [Jaroth]: ...!

[Tell] From [Jaroth]: Mister Atlas!"

[Tell] To [Jaroth]: "Can... you... open portals, or - reverse a banishing spell?"

[Tell] From [Jaroth]: I now planar binding... is this.. is this about the date...?"

[Tell] To [Jaroth]: "Oh, no no, it's - Jaroth had some kind of contingency spell that sent Dhii to the Shadowfell as soon as she harmed him. He's dead, but she's - there. Right now." He sounds tense, trying to stay calm.

[Tell] To [Jaroth]: "Either a portal straight to her location to pull her out, or something - I can only teleport, I can't travel across planes."

[Tell] From [Jaroth]: alright sorry for the delay!"

[Tell] From [Jaroth]: had to pick up some books. I-. I think I can do it!"

[Tell] To [Jaroth]: "Is there anyone else who can, anyone in Dhii's forces? I don't want to - endanger you unnecessarily..."

[Tell] From [Jaroth]: ...

[Tell] From [Jaroth]: no

[Tell] From [Jaroth]: I I can do it, promise!"

[Tell] From [Jaroth]: sounds way more decisive than ever in the last bit






[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "I'm... fine, now. Not injured."

[Say] Beatrice: thats.. thats good...

[Say] Beatrice: thank you.."

[Say] Beatrice: how did all this even..?"

Sullivan Atlas still looks pale and rather freaked-out, but forcing himself as usual to stay calm. "I - apologize - "

[Say] Beatrice: wait waht?? whyy!

[Say] Beatrice: yu.. you just saved my ma from overwhelming odds!"

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "I should've known he'd pull something, I should've had them make sure he wasn't spelled, or couldn't cast.."

[Say] Beatrice: w.wait.. who he? I still got no idea what's going on...

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "I almost got you killed, I should've gotten more backup or something..."

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "Jaroth!"

Beatrice blinks a couple of times, taken aback

[Say] Beatrice: you did what was best.. by the time we arrived it was pretty much over... imagine if you had taken the time to get more people.."

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "I - " Pause. "You're right."

[Say] Beatrice: you did fine.. heh.. Mister Atlas..."

[Say] Beatrice: *gets a slight blush in her cheeks

[Say] Beatrice: sabed me and my ma yet again"

Sullivan Atlas laughs quietly, then bends over double for a few seconds as it takes on a high, weird tone. "And I always said I'd never go to the Shadowfell again."

Beatrice immediately moves to hold Sulli

[Say] Beatrice: gods,,, youre alright?

[Say] Beatrice: what... you been there before..?"

Sullivan Atlas straights up again as the post-terror little hysterical laugh dies down. "Yeah. I... was trapped there. For months."

Beatrice tries to guide Sulli to rest back on her lap, her hold seems careful and comforting

Beatrice sits by Sullivan Atlas.

[Say] Beatrice: gods.. youre a mess Mr atlas...

[Say] Beatrice: w-what happened that time that got you so worried..?"

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "Physically or mentally? Yes to both, anyway."

[Say] Beatrice: how even..? or wy...?"

[Say] Beatrice: 7e presses her palm on his forehead

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "...Monsters. Shadows. Things that took... forms based on things in our memories. Based on our worst memories, fears..."

Beatrice presses her palm on his forehead

[Say] Beatrice: yes... uhm.. that does fit the how.. the why though.."

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "Why what?"

[Say] Beatrice: why did you end up that time?

Beatrice tries to guide Sully's head to reast on her stomach, still caressing his forehead

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "Long story short, Rhea. She was experimenting with combining engineering, magic, psionics. Tried to tap into how my powers reach across space and time. Tapped into the Fell."

Sullivan Atlas allows her.

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "Some kind of portal device. Never test-run it yet but it was ready. Then... the Spellplague hit. The magic went haywire, the device activated."

Beatrice nods slowly "guess something missfired in that volatile equation..."

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "We spent months there, from our perspective. When we got out... over a hundred years, here. Time sometimes - does that, on other planes."

[Say] Beatrice: gods... thats awful.. if I state the obvious.. I mean.

Sullivan Atlas laughs a bit.

[Say] Beatrice: how did you escape?"

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "Don't know... Maybe we fell through a shadow to the Prime where the veil was thin. Maybe Shar got tired of us and kicked us out. Maybe the device put a spell on us that just wore off."

[Say] Beatrice: that.. that sounds vague... however I am glad you managed to escape..:"

[Say] Beatrice: shh.. youre safe for now.. rest calm.. please.."

Beatrice reaches up again to caress his forehead

Sullivan Atlas blinks and laughs again. "You're the one who just went there for the first time. Shouldn't I be comforting you?"

[Say] Beatrice: I had a good reason to uhm.. to brave it all, refuge in ignorance I guess... you.. you knew before hand what was actually there... and still went

[Say] Beatrice: thats.. thats beyond admirable,.."

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "I... knew it was too dangerous to leave Dhii there either. And it would've made the date -really- awkward if she died the day before."

[Say] Beatrice: heh.. the date..."

Beatrice gives a chuckle in disbelief.. "after tonight you will probably want to steer away from picking up our mess.."

Beatrice leans over Sully, would appear her face upside down to him as she looks back at him with bright eyes "or must I assume Ser.. all this you did so our date wouldnt be ruined..?"

Sullivan Atlas sighs. "No. I just deflect everything with a joke. I -would- have felt shitty if I let her die, though."

Beatrice her messy red locks would tickle his face, maybe one even getting close to his eye as she stared intently with an honest smile

Sullivan Atlas stares up at her thoughtfully. "Hm... you look like you have heterochromia too, but the opposite of mine."

[Say] Beatrice: mmh I do..? oh.. uhm... w-well.. not as pronounced yes.."

[Say] Beatrice: jsut a product of experimenting.."

Beatrice s breath seesmt have calmed down, her fingers idly playing with his hair as she held him on her lap

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "Really?"

[Say] Beatrice: well yes... a couple of months ago it was my toungue that was half green

Beatrice chuckles and sticks her toungue out

Beatrice 's toungue is no longer half green

Sullivan Atlas laughs. "My eye turned green when I had my first vision."

[Say] Beatrice: really..?"

[Say] Beatrice: that would be your seer eye..?"

Beatrice smiles warmly, then her expression shifts a bit, as if she just had realised something, her hair caressing stops too

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "I - don't know, really. What's wrong?"

[Say] Beatrice: yould be- ioh uhm.. nothing..

Beatrice leans her face a bit closer

Beatrice also gives a nervous chuckle and shakes her head

Sullivan Atlas watches her, somewhere between thoughtful and maybe a little amused. "I'd be?"

Beatrice seems to observe Sullivan closer, then another giggle and head shake, then that dorky smile

Beatrice suddenly leans down and smacks a kiss on his cheek, below his eye

Sullivan Atlas closes that eye as she does, then grins and chuckles quietly.

[Say] Beatrice: gods.. hehhe

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "So... Were you wanting to ask me out for a while already, or did the thought just enter your mind when I shook a flower crown at you like a tambourine?"

[Say] Beatrice: uhm.. a little bit of both I guess.."

Beatrice chuckles again.. hesitates.. then gives another kiss on the side of his nose, the hand holding his head seems to be shaking

Sullivan Atlas twitches his nose with an amused look. "It took me by surprise. We haven't really spoken much."

[Say] Beatrice: w-wel... you did seem suitable... decent and level headed.. and uh,... definitely not a weird creature from the planes or an immortal lich or.."

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "I can guarantee I'm just a human."

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "An alive human."

Beatrice gives Sully one closer look, grins again, bites her lip and starts to move off, seeming to have snapped out of it

[Say] Beatrice: well see, that is good"

Beatrice still looks back to Sully amused, and the hair caressing resumes "no secret transformations into wolves or bats or roaches... truesight is something I can understand better.. to be honest"

Sullivan Atlas looks a bit troubled. "I don't... turn into any animals, no."

[Say] Beatrice: see thats good to hear

Beatrice takes a moment to process

[Say] Beatrice: you alright..?"

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "Ah. Well. Suppose I should... In case it's something that..."

Beatrice tilts her head slightly, the hair caressing stops, but mostly cause shes listening

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "I... AM transmuted, but not anything as drastic as species."

[Say] Beatrice: ... y-you mean as in right now..?"

[Say] Beatrice: gods youre not bald or anything are you?"

Sullivan Atlas laughs nervously. "No, thankfully."

[Say] Beatrice: oh alright.."

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "I mean, not bald."

[Say] Beatrice: pimples..? bad teeth..?"

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "But always - It's this." He holds up his left hand to display the simple steel ring on his index finger.

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "No and no."

Beatrice raises both brows and looks up to the ring

Sullivan Atlas looks more nervous. "Um. Gender."

Beatrice blinks a couple of times, then glances back to Sully, looking more serious "w-what-

[Say] Beatrice: oh...

[Say] Beatrice: oh..!"

Beatrice looks at Sully as if he had three heads, the hair caressing has stopped atogether

Sullivan Atlas watches her reaction tensely.

Beatrice looks aside, if anything she just looks severely confused "o.. w-wel.."

Beatrice doesnt actually look too happy with the news however she hesitates, and even seems to blush even more

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "I was born female. I prefer not to be, so, the ring..."

[Say] Beatrice: I -I understand.."

[Say] Beatrice: Im sorry i-"

Beatrice actually seems to be trying to move off

Sullivan Atlas sits up. "Oh - um."

Beatrice starts to stand up, looking aside

Sullivan Atlas stands as well. "I... Do you still want to..."

[Say] Beatrice: ..

Beatrice suddenly turns to face sully "I almost kissed you you know?"

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "I'm still - I wouldn't take it off unless you asked or something -"

Sullivan Atlas looks somewhat crestfallen.

[Say] Beatrice: I dont know... have just wanted to have something normal going and and my first kiss was with a girl- and and...

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "I'm not - I..."

[Say] Beatrice: youre not?!"

Sullivan Atlas steps back, looking hurt, and then swallows and looks aside with a glare. "Not normal. Sure. Fine."

[Say] Beatrice: w-well it isnt.. had just hoped for something outside the crazy things that happen here and all over seems like i- ...

Beatrice blinks twice.. "seems like im being incredibly rude to you.. actually.."

Beatrice tilts her head "for something that is your choice.."

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "If - you don't want to date me still, I don't make you."

[Say] Beatrice: nonono wait

[Say] Beatrice: gods... Im sorry.."

Sullivan Atlas waits.

Beatrice looks aside "its just that... I keep trying and trying to run away from this crazy circles and...

Beatrice looks down "and now really want.."

Beatrice seems to have gathered courage to look up to Sully "I. I really want this.. "

Sullivan Atlas looks hesitant, wary.

[Say] Beatrice: Im so sorry.. please"

Beatrice makes an awkward move to reach for sully's hands

Sullivan Atlas lets her, relaxing slightly. "You wouldn't have even known if I hadn't told you, or if someone else did or you used True Seeing - It's not an illusion, I -am- male, as long as I wear it."

[Say] Beatrice: yes.. but in the inside-

Beatrice gives a nervous chuckle "gods this is so strange"

Beatrice smiles a little and holds Sulli's hands tighter

[Say] Beatrice: if this is who you are.."

Sullivan Atlas shrugs. "Sullivan's even my legal name now, officially. It's how I see myself, how I want others to see me."

Beatrice nods slowly

[Say] Beatrice: youre right... you couve never told me... and get over with it.."

[Say] Beatrice: n.not to mention al that you did which frankly.." gives a shy grin*

[Say] Beatrice: is very... very commendable.."

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "I don't like having to hide things, sooner or later I still would've likely told you..."

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "You're quite set on boys only?"

Beatrice nods slowly

[Say] Beatrice: well..

[Say] Beatrice: just the thought of dating a girl  kid.. kind of never actually crossed my mind.:"

Sullivan Atlas laughs a little. "Even with everyone else you know? Is there even one straight person in the Mask?"

[Say] Beatrice: gods lets not even

Beatrice smiles amused

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "Either way. If that's how you feel, the ring certainly stays on."

Beatrice glances aside and bites her lip, yet says anything, she just looks back to Sully, wide bright eyes "tell you what"

Beatrice walks slowly closer to him "you be whoever you are... and uhm.."

Beatrice slides her hands up to suilliy's shoulders "and Ill figure out whoever I am... deal..?"

Sullivan Atlas grins a little, taking that as the cue to put his hands on her waist. "Deal."

Beatrice 's eyes open a bit in pleasant surprise.. she ends up bumping against Sully before stopping

[Say] Beatrice: oh s-sorry.. heh.."

[Say] Sullivan Atlas: "Should I take this as the moment to kiss you?"

Beatrice has the dorkiest happy smile ever, she nods to Sullivan with big eyes

Sullivan Atlas grins back at her, leaning in to kiss her gently.

Beatrice holds him against her chest, shaking, she leans in and hums righr before closing her eyes and locking her lips on him

Beatrice gives a sweet kiss, her shaking stopping shortly after

Sullivan Atlas stops if she does, otherwise he gently wraps his arms around her.

Beatrice has actually wrapped her hands around his shoulders, seems to be enjoying the kissing a bit too much, she doesnt make much of a further move but wiggles a bit slowly, now conscious that her breasts are pressing against sully's chest

[Party] Beatrice: *she wouldnt mind making out slowly for the next half hour actually*

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: *He would be fine with that! But he'd keep it relatively clean, not putting his hands anywhere ungentlemanly. So just her back/sides, or stroking her hair.*

[Party] Beatrice: *she would pretty much do the same, mostly caressing his hair neck and shoulders, doesnt seem like a great kisser but her full lips kind of make up for that, she would probably just mimic many of sulli's movements. one thing would be clear, shes learning fast*

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: *He definitely has lost any tension or anxiety over everything by now, quite content with kissing her as long as she wants.*

[Party] Beatrice: *seems to extend for a good fifteen minutes more of 'trying to let go but giving in again'

[Party] Beatrice: finally ends up resting her forehead on Sulliys.. no wait, another deep kiss! then another forehead rest.. ooo jsut another one, and another just cause.. dammit, finally ends up just holding him close

[Party] Beatrice: with one last sweet smack*

[Party] Beatrice: gods.. I could do this all night,,. heh"

[Party] Beatrice: but I dont think we got all night.."

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: He chuckles, a little flushed by now. "Glad you enjoyed it!"

[Party] Beatrice: *smacks another kiss*

[Party] Beatrice: *her face looks red as a tomato, also seems to have been to heavens and back there*

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: "Goodness, you're about as red as your hair."

[Party] Beatrice: *strokes her nose alongside Suliy's

[Party] Beatrice: *chuckles" w-wel.."

[Party] Beatrice: *seems to shiver a little*

[Party] Beatrice: *mutters* can now see why everyone is addicted to this.."

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: *Grins.* "Right?"

Beatrice opens her eyes, and stares right into Sully's

[Party] Beatrice: *cant help it and gives another deep kiss*

[Party] Beatrice: does that mean.. we..-?"

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: "Mm- We?"

Beatrice hums.. and bites her lip.. "guess it gets to wait for the actual date.. heh I was told never to kiss at the first date... never uhm..

[Party] Beatrice: "never had heard about kissing *before* the first date"

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: *Huffs* "People make up lots of rules for these things. There were people I kissed without ever dating them..."

[Party] Beatrice: oh really.."

[Party] Beatrice: *takes some more time to just rub her nose and cheek on sully's, even going into a deeper kissing fit for five minutes or so*

[Party] Beatrice: unless stopped*

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: He's happy for the distraction and kisses her back just deeply.

[Party] Beatrice: *moves away gently, then giggles* "gods cant believe this.."

[Party] Beatrice: but uhm.. should probably let you go... before you get too used to this, heh"

[Party] Beatrice: and get bored.."

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: "Hard to get bored of that, wouldn't you say?"

[Party] Beatrice: heh.. totally agree...

[Party] Beatrice: *sighs and actually wraps her arms around him in a tight hug*

[Party] Beatrice: *resting her face on his shoulder*

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: *He hugs back, lightly rubbing her back.*

[Party] Beatrice: gods...

[Party] Beatrice: a-alright alright"

[Party] Beatrice: should really let you go, heh!"

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: "Do you need a teleport anywhere? I can drop you off if you'd like."

[Party] Beatrice: nono actually... jsut worried you had things to do

[Party] Beatrice: *looks down and as much as I certain of Alahyda's abilites.. should probably check on my ma.."

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: "Oh no. I cleared my schedule for today. I had no idea how long the Jaroth business would take, after all."

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: "Who's Alahyda?"

[Party] Beatrice: oh she's the Disciples designated wizard.. as of now the designated captain of the Garden

[Party] Beatrice: t-thats Dhii's home

[Party] Beatrice: I shulve been at sorna's hours ago.. but Im sure shell understand"

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: "Well, wherever you want to get to, whenever you want to.."

[Party] Beatrice: *sighs* "should really go see who everything goes... lets just... a bit longer." if you dont mind.."

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: "Of course I don't mind."

[Party] Beatrice: r-rigth..*

[Party] Beatrice: cause Id need a bit more of..

[Party] Beatrice: *leans closer* "of..-*

[Party] Beatrice: *smacks a deeper kiss, her lips just a bit apart, totally savoring him*

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: *He parts his lips a bit as well as they move against hers.*

[Party] Beatrice: *sighs softly, holding Sully against herself again*

[Party] Beatrice: *e actually pulls herself away after a heavier sigh* "alright alright, should. probably... not give n too much further, hah"

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: "Plenty of opportunities tomorrow!"

[Party] Beatrice: heh.. or.. or uhm... or after..?"

[Party] Beatrice: *smiles*

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: "Of course."

[Party] Beatrice: oh..?"

[Party] Beatrice: s-so it does men we-. heh.. we uhm,, you know.. are a thing then?"

[Party] Beatrice: or rater the start of something.. maybe..?"

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: "Hm... I'd say so. A little more officially once we've actually gone on a date. At which point we could say we're dating."

[Party] Beatrice: heh.. that makes sense.."

[Party] Beatrice: I humm really go check on Gladhiiel now..

[Party] Beatrice: *takes some effort but actually manages to prod herself away from Sully*

[Party] Beatrice: *unconsiously fans herself too*

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: *He drops his hand to take hers, though.* "Where to? I don't think I can teleport directly into the Garden, actually."

[Party] Beatrice: oh uhm.. m-maybe to the entrance..?"

[Party] Beatrice: if its not too far form you

[Party] Beatrice: *rolls eyes of course it isnt. you can teleport I mean I can too but*

[Party] Beatrice: you know what just... deekin street.."

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: "Are you certain? I -can- drop you off at the entrance..."

[Party] Beatrice: yes.. thats. thats what I meant.."

[Party] Beatrice: I think its safe to tell you this.. there's a portal there"

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: "Ah! I was flown there on gryphon-back last time."

[Party] Beatrice: heh.. short route.. I do believe that if you had had a way to do some harm about it.. woulve already done it... have acted the opposite actually so-"

[Party] Beatrice: gods hear me rambling

[Party] Beatrice: *smaksa another kiss on SUllivan*

[Party] Beatrice: *squeezes his hand "ready"

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: *Grins, and teleports them there in his usual flash of blue-and-green light.*

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: *He gives her one last little kiss before letting go of her hand and teleporting off to his own home*

[Party] Beatrice: *would probably cant help a making out session before actually saying goodbyes to SUlly*

[Party] Sullivan Atlas: *Or that!*

[Party] Beatrice: *lol well!

[Party] Beatrice: *sorry she wouldn't have been able to help just one!*

[Party] Beatrice: *probably ended up with that little kiss right before he left?
