[00:00] * Miu_ sits idly atop the front of a one story building, curled into a ball to keep warm in this cold weather bundled up in warm clothes, her head turned up towards the moon. Her eyes closed and her ears perked forward, she sings a song from the depths of her memory, the first thing that came to mind while out here by her lonesome. (see ooc)
[00:00] * Verity_ immediately dashes away from the Angora, having him barely miss her by inches, around the tables and up the stairs she goes, leaning over the banister to stick her tongue out at Maaka, placing her fingers against her head to mimic a moose. "Slow!~"
[00:02] * Maaka_ crouches down again, getting ready for another pounce...

[00:07] * %TD|Colm is out in the cold knight, his fur almost glowing from the moonlight, the snow on the streets faintly glimmering silver as the tall cat makes his way across town. Hearing the barest strain of a familiar tune, the cat's big ears swivel towards the source, and Colm's feet wander in that direction. Soon, he finds himself at the base of the building, looking up at the cat perched on the
[00:07] * %TD|Colm edge, smiling at the tune. When the song is complete, Colm speaks up. "It has been too long since I last heard that song."
[00:08] <Maaka_> BOOM! You swear you can hear the wind rip apart as Maaka leaps at Verity, his hands slamming against the stairs and pinning the poor girl down. "Gotcha~"

[00:13] <Verity_> "Oh, M-Mack... I'm sure you l-love, ah... seeing me under y-you like this... Shame I h-have to get out~" With that, the girl swiftly tosses him off of her and immediately gets up on her feet, preparing to dash. "Toodles, b-babe...~" And with that, the girl sets off galloping down the corridor, glancing over her shoulder back at Maaka.
[00:14] <Maaka_> "Why you little..." Enough with the pouncing, Maaka just sprints up the stairs after her, bigass smile on his face. "I'mma getchu!"
[00:16] <Verity_> "Too slow~" Verity calls, by now ways ahead of him, nearing the end of the corridor and checking back to see if he's behind her. "...You'll h-have to be, ah... f-faster than that, sweetie~" She goads, still galloping down the corridor like a gazelle, laughing all the way.
[00:16] * Miu_ is startled from the sudden voice and slips off the edge of the building in her sudden flailing, falling from the top and for all intents and purposes into Colm's paniced arms and topples him over into the snow. The girl surprisingly unscathed from the fall, same can't be said for the long earred flirt with the petite girl landing butt first on his gut. Miu rubs at her backside wincing lightly still a bit in shock from the suddenness of everything. "Owww~" She pauses and whips her head around when she realizes there's not ground underneath her, rocketing off of his stomach to sit at his side on her knees. "Oh my god Colm I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" Her face full of worry for the poor cat she just squished.
[00:19] <Maaka_> Maaka keeps on running, but...damned lazy staff. Left a bunch of soapy water on the floor. One step and the Angora goes flying onto his back, sliding along the ground towards Verity.
[00:19] * %TD|Colm chuckles a bit weakly* I'm alright. *the cat sits up, rubbing his face* There are much worse fates than pretty women raining on you from the sky. I should be asking you the same question; you always said my head was like rock after you used to punch me. *he wiggles his ears experimentally* See? They still work. *he grins at her cheekily* I see you remember Mollith.
[00:21] * Verity_ sees her lover sliding towards her at an increased speed just as she reaches the end of the corridor and eagerly sidesteps, waving to him and hurriedly galloping a few feet away before wheeling around to watch the Angora and see if he'd smack into the wall.
[00:23] * Miu_ gives Colm a quick slap on the arm for making her worry for nothing. "Jerk, I seriously thought I'd hurt you just now." She puffs her cheeks lightly and sits on her feet with her hands in her lap, but can't hold the puff with the wiggle of the ears and can't help but giggle at him. Her ears turn towards his, her brows raised curiously. "Mollith?" She asks quizzically. "I was just feeling a bit glum tonight, and it was a song that just kind of came to mind." Her lip gives a light tug, the uncertainty in her thoughts was very apparent in her expression, her bicolored eyes bouncing back and forth between his.

[00:27] * %TD|Colm smiles into her eyes, the tall cat pushing himself up as he regains his feet, before offering a hand down to her* "I guess not. Mollith was our babysitter when we were younger; she always had the best songs and nursery rhymes, the ones that made our parents cringe." *he chuckles quietly* "It was great sport for us to sing them or recite them at inappropriate times, or to other

[00:29] <Maaka_> Indeed he does...feet first~ With a big fwap, Maaka manages to stub EVERY LAST TOE. "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!" The cat curls up, grabbing his feet and biting his lip.
[00:30] * Verity_ bursts out laughing and grabs her sides, nearly falling over. "...Oh, oh man... M-Mack... if you w-want this kitten, you're, ah... g-gonna have to step up... up your g-game, oh... oh m-man..." Again she wiggles her behind in his direction and sticks her tongue our at him before goading him to come after her again.
[00:31] <Maaka_> "Damned staff..."
[00:32] * Miu_ smiles up to the tall cat, taking the offered hand and using his aid to get to her feet, releasing his hand once she was stable and began dusting the snow off her knees. "Sounds like we had some scary company growing up didn't we?" She says with another soft giggle, that fades quickly with her eyes drooping faintly. "There's still so much I don't remember, it's like the pieces are there, but they're all blank, so I can't put them back together." Sighs lightly to herself, bringing a hand up to brush her bangs from her face. "I wish I didn't remember any of it..."
[00:33] * Maaka_ quickly gets up and places his soon-to-be bruised feet onto the wall, and pushes himself off, leaping forward several feet before hitting the ground running.
[00:34] * Verity_ hears him coming and gets a moderate head start, heading for the staircase and darting down before rolling under the tables and disappearing from sight. Somewhere in the guildhall, giggling can be heard, but only a keen eye could see the Angora's hiding place.
[00:34] <%TD|Colm> Why do you wish you remember none of it? *he looks at her, putting his hands on her shoulders* Miu, that'd be like you died.
[00:35] * Maaka_ looks around after reaching the main hall, seeing that his girlfriend...vanished? "The hell?"
[00:36] <%TD|Colm> Hell, everyone but me thought you DID die. When you came back, it was like you'd returned from the dead.
[00:36] * Verity_ giggles from her hiding place. "...You'll n-never find, ah... me, sweetie~" She coos, her voice seemingly coming from every nook and cranny of the guild hall, nothing possibly seen without a careful and keen eye.
[00:38] <Maaka_> Berserkers never were known for their observation skills, but he DOES manage to see a little flash of white under one of the tables...
[00:39] * Maaka_ attempts to sneak carefully and quietly towards the bit of fur that he saw, but steps on a squeaky floorboard.
[00:40] <Verity_> In an instant, that white bit of fur seemingly disappears, leaving Maaka stumped. As he stands there, gazing about, he takes a swift blow to his rump only to find that Verity was the one who instigated it, the girl then darting off for the staircase and leaning over the second floor banister, guffawing. "...So s-slow, so loud... Tsk, Mack..."
[00:42] * Miu_ wraps her arms tight to herself, averting her eyes away from Colm now. "I just can't keep this up anymore Colm, I don't have all the memories of who I was before, I only have bits and pieces. I feel like I'm trying to live up to who I was before, and failing miserably." She turns her eyes back to Colm, keeping the black eye out of his view. "I did die Colm, the girl you grew up with, the woman Fenny fell in love with, she isn't here anymore." Drops her face away from him, but not breaking his hand from her shoulder. "I can't keep trying to be who I used to be. I'm just hurting everyone by trying."
[00:43] * Maaka_ lets out a grumble of disappointment. But his playful smile shows that he's having fun nonetheless. "I'll show you slow..." He aboutfaces and starts running towards the stairs.
[00:44] * Verity_ giggles again and sets to run off, but instead she loses her balance and falls face first, rump in the air and her head uncomfortably positioned against the floor. Knowing Maaka would be up there in an instant, she doesn't intend to get up and simply awaits him, knowing he's more than a few seconds behind.
[00:46] <Maaka_> Once he reaches the top of the stairs, Maaka dives for his prize...or rather, a bit to the left of it, landing right next to Verity and wrapping an arm around her waist. "Told ya~"
[00:47] * %TD|Colm looks sad, then slides his arms around her shoulders to tug the shorter feline against his chest* That's the problem; you're TRYING. You should just BE. Be who you are, Miu, not who you think you should be; you were always trying to be my friend, and never my lover, because you were afraid you would hurt me. But the times I loved you most were the times when you were just yourself,
[00:47] * %TD|Colm not who you thought I wanted you to be. Don't try to be who you were; try to be who you want to be.
[00:48] <Verity_> "Okay, okay..." She giggles, panting and tail quivering. "...I g-give up. You're t-too, ah... manly for me, sweetheart!~ Now, g-get up so I... I c-can give you your, ah... r-reward for... for c-capturing this... this sneaky pixie..."
[00:49] * Maaka_ isn't even close to being out of breath, easily getting to his feet and holding a hand out to his lover.
[00:49] <Maaka_> "Hehe...first time someone's called me too manly..."
[00:50] * Verity_ chuckles and grips Maaka's hand, allowing him to pull her up off the floor. She then wraps her arms around his waist and allows her breath to slow before planting one hell of a kiss on him, grasping his shirt tightly in her hands.
[00:51] * Maaka_ brings his hands to the small of Verity's back, leaning into the kiss and OH SO TEMPTED to slide his hands down a bit lower...
[00:54] * Verity_ holds this kiss for a few, long, tense moments before breaking it and chuckling under her breath. "...Mmm, n-next time, if you... you, er... c-catch me faster, I might have to d-do a... a bit more~" She blushes heavily at her taunts but nonetheless gives him a gentle squeeze before sauntering back downstairs and ordering an ice cold glass of juice.
[00:55] * Rosque is now known as rosleep
[00:56] * Miu_ sniffles into the tall cats chest, dropping her arms and wraps them around him, trying her best to keep her composure. "How can I be myself, when I don't know myself." Sniffles more rapidly, taking a few choked breaths still trying to fight back her emotions. "I don't want to be looked at with sad eyes anymore, I'm sorry... I'm sorry I'm not Miu anymore." With that, she loses the game against her emotions, and is now a sobbing mess into the long earred cats arms, gripping tightly to the back of his top to keep herself on her feet.
[00:56] <Maaka_> Hmm...top of the stairs...cute girlfriend...giddy as hell... Maaka grins as a particular idea comes to his mind.
[00:56] <Maaka_> 1d10 vs 8
[00:56] <Rollo> Maaka_, vs 8: 6 [1d10=6]
[00:58] * Maaka_ leaps onto the banister, letting gravity do the work of sliding him down above the stairs and into the main hall.
[00:59] * %TD|Colm 's hands press into her fur as he holds her tight to his chest, resting his head on top of hers* The same way the rest of us are who we are. I don't think about being Colm; I AM Colm. Just be yourself, not what I, or anyone else, expects you to be, and you'll be Miu, memories or no. *he holds her close* And no matter what you say, no matter how much you say Miu is dead... you are
[00:59] * %TD|Colm still you. Don't ever doubt that. Just because you don't remember, or remember only pieces, doesn't mean you aren't the same person deep down inside. Maybe this is who you always were, and never could be, before. *he moves one hand up to rub the back of her head* You remember enough to know that, no matter what, I will be your friend. Always.
[01:00] * Verity_ chuckles at his display of acrobatics and sips her juice before wiping her brow. "...Well, you're c-certainly, ah... athletic, I'll g-give you that..." She pants, sipping at her juice and heaving a great, satisfied as the cool liquid enters her body. She pats the chair next to her and winks at Maaka, bidding him to come on over.

"If there's one thing I can remember, is you sure can talk a girls ear off." She half laughs and half sobs, still wiping her eyes, leaning away from him slightly. "I'm sorry for that, I don't know where that came from..." Her eyes cleared out enough, she looks back up to Colm now, still a bit of distress in her face. "What do I do about Fenny? I like her, but I don't know what to do, I feel like I'm just trying to be who she wants me to be..."
[01:11] <Verity_> "...Yeah, imagine if it... it d-didn't..." She returns, happily nuzzling into his grasp. "...I w-wouldn't have, um... m-met you... and w-wouldn't be as... as h-happy as, ah...

She smiles and chuckles lightly, taking Colm's hand away from her cheek, a blush prevalent on them now. "I'm sorry, that was too bold of me to say wasn't it?" Her eyes look up to his, a bit of embarrassment in herself now. "Soleil is lucky to have you to herself. I wonder if I can find someone to treat me as well as you do her."
[01:25] * Verity_ giggles at the mention of the dog. "...So, wh-what happened...?" She inquires, sipping at her juice and smiling at her lover. "...You d-didn't, ah... g-get hurt, did you...? Oh, oh M-Mack... please say you... you d-didn't..."
[01:28] * Maaka_ shakes his head. "Not that bad, no. Though..." He looks off to the side again. "WAY too angry to speak afterwards..."
[01:28] * %TD|Colm smiles at her warmly. "Its alright Miu, I understand. As for why... you wanted me your way. You wanted love, unconditional, and did not want to be felt sorry for or pitied. You thought that when I offered, I was doing it because you were going to die, and that I did not love you as a man loves a woman." *he looks down into her eyes* "You'll find someone Miu, I'm sure of it. I always
[01:28] * %TD|Colm knew you were special; someday, someone else will see in you what I see."

Why... why d-don't we head upstairs to... to b-bed...?" She asks, rising from her stool and heading towards the stairs to smile back at Maaka with a flick of her tail.

"You need to stop that, before I get us both into trouble... again." With the she spins and sets her fists to her hips. "Bah what'm I thinking, who would want to kiss someone like you anyways, you probably have dog breath now."
[01:35] * Maaka_ 's ears droop. "You shouldn't have to say it..." He hops off of his seat and follows her. "And I didn't mean that in the way you're thinking."
[01:37] <Verity_> "I only k-kid, Mack..." She whispers, leading him upstairs to her room and bending over to unlock it. "...I'm n-not upset at, ah... you for it... if it m-makes you feel, er... g-guilty then... then I w-will stop joking, okay...? I'm o-only trying to, ah... help you get over it..."

"Well I suppose you'll never know now, now will you~" *the cat then grins mischievously and wraps his arms around her middle, under her arms as he gives her a hug back against his chest, whispering in her ear naughtily* "But you might remember~" *he then lets her go*

[01:42] <Maaka_> About a minute later, Verity gets a knock at her door.
[01:43] * Verity_ slips her shirt of her body and sits down at her bed, chuckling under her breath. "...I'm d-decent...!" She calls, folding her legs and not really expecting him to repeat, but a small part of her perhaps doubted him.
[01:43] <Verity_> (*on)
[01:44] <Maaka_> Verity's doubts are unfounded. He's dressed, and in his usual bedtime attire. "So am I."
[01:45] <Verity_> "...Glad to see." She coos, climbing into bed and laying down, patting a spot she's made next to her and grinning at him. "...Do j-join me, won't you...? I'm like h-half asleep over, er... here..."
[01:47] <Maaka_> Again, Maaka rests his pack next to the bed, quickly slipping under the covers with a wide smile on his face. "Okay, okay...keep you're pants on..."
[01:49] * Miu_ huffs and spins around, taking a swing to hit the cat in the gut, sadly she's not the agile thing she used to be and he catches it easily enough. "I said you need to stop that." She looks into his eyes again, the blush still heavy on her cheeks in the moonlight. She reaches out with her free hand grabbing the collar to Colm's shirt and pulls him down to her level and kisses him. Once satisfied she shoves him off and pulls her fist back from his hand, pointing her finger at him. "You need to learn to listen to women better you jerk." She tries her best to keep an angry face with him, but is obviously failing from how flushed her face was right now.
[01:49] <Verity_> "...I'm sure you'd, ah... like it otherwise..." She chuckles, sliding up next to him and rolling over, nuzzling into his side. "...So... a-about last night... I j-just... well... I'm happy, Mack. I love you, sweetheart... and... I'll t-try to work on, ah... my faults."
[01:49] * Maaka_ wraps his arms around Verity and holds her close. "And I'll do the same."
[01:51] <Verity_> "Ahhh..." Verity mumbles, yawning and stretching in bed. "...Oh, th-there I go... c-can't really, ah... s-stay awake while... while in a w-warm bed... cuddled up next to a, um... w-warm... warm p-person..." Another small yawn escapes her lips and she closes her eyes. "...Goodnight, M-Mack..."
[01:52] * Maaka_ leans over and gives her a light peck on the cheek. "Night, Vee..."
[01:52] * Verity_ is now known as Susan
[01:53] * %TD|Colm is quite deft in his reaction, the smaller feline, without her demonically fuelled strength, much easier prey for the big cat. When she grabs him by the collar, though, he is a bit surprised and doesn't put up any resistance to the kiss, maybe even reciprocating a little before he is pushed back, his own ears flushing now* You're right, I'm sorry Miu. I shouldn't have done that. *his
[01:53] * %TD|Colm ears droop a little* Its hard sometimes, you know; its easy to forget, just for a moment, that it isn't old times anymore, sometimes, with you. You say you're not the same person... but that was exactly what you would have done before, too. *he smiles at her a little* Don't lose heart Miu; you'll find who you want to be eventually.

[01:59] * Miu_ crosses her arms to her torso once more, flicking her head to look away from him. "I just want to be me, that I know. I'm just tired of the concerned looks, like I've got the plague and am going to just fall over dead. Just because I still have this." She whips her head around and points to the blackened eye. "This is normal to me now, why can't the rest of them understand that? The things I can do, they're second nature to me now, yet everyone is afraid of me, or for me. I don't know anymore, but Soleil wants me to see some demonologist, apparently my porting is concerning to her."
[02:02] * %TD|Colm shakes his head at her* Miu... we are not scared of you, we're scared for you. Soleil loves you, and doesn't want you to get hurt. Is there any harm in playing along? What is the worst that can happen? Just don't let him take out the eye and you'll be fine~ *he smiles at her encouragingly* I worry about you too, you know, but I know you don't like people trying to "take care of you".
[02:02] * %TD|Colm I learned that the hard way, one punch at a time.
[02:08] * Miu_ sighs and tucks her ears back lightly. "From the way Soleil has reacted, she'd probably feel better if it were taken out." She turns her eyes in his direction now. "I can understand her... uncertainty to my safety with my travels, despite my attempts to convince her otherwise." She lets out another sigh, shaking her head faintly. "I feel like no one trusts me Colm, like my word isn't good enough... I lied a lot back then didn't I?" Her eyes draw away from his once more, not sure if she really wanted the answer or not.
[02:10] <%TD|Colm> Not exactly. You told people it wasn't any of their business; the only thing you ever really lied about, that I can think of, were your strength and how you felt about me. And those two things were what burned you up inside. *he wants to touch Miu again, but stops himself, remembering what happened last time* It isn't that your word isn't good enough, its that, before, you wouldn't let anyone
[02:10] <%TD|Colm> help you, and I think everyone is worried that it will happen all over again. They just are scared they'll lose you again, Miu, that's all; they don't mean anything by it.
[02:18] * Miu_ wiggles a bit and turns her head away from Colm again when he mentions how she lied about how she felt for him. "I just don't want some guy fiddling around in here." She says poking the side of her head lightly. "I'm not the old me though, I have nothing to hide anymore, if anything I've embraced the change in me... well I guess the change in me others see as change." Turning her head back to look at Colm, the corner of her mouth perking up into an uncertain smile. "What will it take to get the others to stop worrying about me? Should I get an eyepatch from that Silver guy? I'm sure he's got some randomly lying around his hidden treasure chest." She gives a soft chuckle, covering her mouth with her fist.
[02:21] <%TD|Colm> No,then they'll just worry about why you're covering it up. *he grins a bit at the mental image though, reaching out a hand as if to cover half her face* Maybe you should just tell them that is why you don't run with pointy things, all it takes is one bad fall and BAM black eye! *he winks at her* They'll get used to it eventually, Miu. Things don't change overnight; we all spent a year worrying
[02:21] <%TD|Colm> about you, we'll probably spend another before we're all done~
[02:23] * Miu_ lets out a heavy sigh, closing her eyes again, a smile on her lips all the same from his humorous nature. "I guess I'll just have to put up with it till it blows over. Maybe less portal-ness from me... that seems to be everyones current concern. Keep scaring everyone at the guild hall too whenever I show up." She lets out a giggle and shakes her head at how many times she's made someone fall out of their chair.
[02:27] <%TD|Colm> Punching holes in reality tends to create a bit of a stir, Miu. *Colm can't help but smile as she giggles, though, reaching out to tussle her hair* See, that's the Miu I used to know, scaring everyone then laughing about it afterwards. You evil woman. *his voice rolls over the w3ords*
[02:32] * Miu_ blushes at the tussling of her hair and the way he says his words, causing her to bat his arm away and side step away, she wasn't going to let herself get caught up in him again. "It's not my fault they didn't have their soul bound to a demon and win." She smiles and tucks her arms back to her chest feeling a bit of confidence restored in herself. "But if that's the case then fine I'll just be stealthy about it, no more innocent bystanders."
[02:33] * %TD|Colm mock-sighs. "I suppose that means I'll be walking you home tonight then, eh?" *he says with a smirk and a wink*
[02:40] * Miu_ perks her ears up and looks over to him, a faint smirk on her face. "Shouldn't I be the one telling you that? If I was hiding my strength I imagine I was the one keeping you out of harms way." She giggles and smiles more brightly. "We could still take my way of traveling, but I'd rather not subject you to the horrors of the rift."
[02:44] * %TD|Colm laughs* I suppose so~ But I'm older, so what I say clearly goes~ Those two months make all the difference you know. *the tall cat walks alongside her as the pair start heading out, but he can't stop himself from asking* So, dog? *he struggles to keep himself from smirking, his eyes glimmering in the moonlight*
[02:51] * Miu_ whips her head to look up at him, her face completely flushed, her only reaction she can give him is a punch in the gut and starts running ahead. Skidding to a stop along the snow and turns to face him with her fists throw to the ground. "Go home you jerk!" With that she turns around and keeps running to get back to the guild, not wanting to be in his proximity anymore, she wasn't going to be making anymore rash decisions if she wasn't being influenced by him.
[02:54] <%TD|Colm> I'm sorry Miu! *the tall cat tries to chase after her, but it seems she doesn't really want to be caught, and given the gut punch he earned earlier, he's quite a bit slower than she is and she makes it back long before he does. Sighing and realizing he is really far away from home, he writes her an overly wordy apologetic note and slips it under her door before heading for home, feeling rather
[02:54] <%TD|Colm> bad as he rubs his stomach on the way out*
[03:24] * Miu_ perks her ears up hearing something slide under the door, tossing on her top she strolls over towards it and picks up the note. Reading over the lines carefully, ending with a sigh and a smirk, shaking her head. Opening a drawer to her nightstand, she pulls out some paper and scribbles out a quick note and folds in into quarters. Looking down to the Persian sleeping in their bed, a bit of a sullen expression on her face, she shakes the thoughts from her head. A rift opening behind the girl, she hops backwards disappearing into the darkness, and emerging outside of Soleil's house/workshop, and stuffs the note into the crack of the doorway. Pausing to look at the snow to see if there were fresh footprints aside from her own, looks like he wasn't home yet so she was in the clear. And with that she slips back into the darkness of the rift, being spat out into her room once more. Shivering from the cold she just haphazardly ported to in her panties and a shirt. "T-the fuck were you t-thinking." She huffs and flips her shirt off and quickly scoots into bed hogging up the heavier blankets and curling into a ball, quickly drifting off to sleep with a smile on her face.
