#c. Arynn

She was still buzzing wildly, frame jittery with adrenaline from the spell that had only worn off moments ago. Battered and most definitely bruised from her altercation with Klaus Mikaelson himself as she settled herself down on the couch in the compound, hands visibly shaking as she tried to talk herself down from the high that was lingering far too long. The taste of enjoyment that lingered around her from the darkness that had been coursing through her left her viciously nauseous and she wanted nothing more than to sink into the couch, to become one with the furniture and never be seen again and it wasn't until her older brother came into view that the nausea that had been building had finally worked its way up and the contents of her stomach was emptied on the ground in front of her, gaze rising after a moment to find Arynn before offering a sheepish grin, hands still viciously shaking. "Hey," was all she could manage, voice feeble and weak.

[traegics]

She catches a soft breath in the back of her throat, resisting the urge to say I told you so before eventually releasing it and turning to lower herself down beside the male, single hand rising and falling against his thigh before offering a faint smile. "You don't have to play macho man in front of me, Arynn," Jenny quips before a solemn nod follows. "Yes but there's been no deaths as of yet so at least we have that going for us. It was all just a twisted mental game."

"Jen..." The name was spoken with mixed emotions. The last person he wanted to see him in the aftermath of such magic use was Jennifer. It was like karma had been just itching to get the two of them together for such a moment; so Arynn was forced to sit in the very state that she had constantly worried he'd find himself in.

It was a mellow situation, in all honesty, compared to how far gone he could have been. Yet, both of them knew: he wouldn't be as ragged as he no doubt looked if he hadn't tapped into it. The dark magic; the magic Jennifer had all but begged him to give up so they could stay together.

"Yeah, totally. Absolutely... peachy." He gave the woman a pitiful attempt at his useful charming jokes and just sighed heavily. "There we so many people here..."

Now Kevin was the type to just wonder around, not wanting to intertrude on Jesse's and Skyla's alone time. As he couldn't spot anyone people either, the untriggered kitsune went round about. His eyes were drawn to a person sitting by himself, seemingly charming. Kevin nodded to himself. The worst they can do was tell him to go away. He subtley rolled his wheelchair nearby before placing his elbows on the table.

"Did you know that Bigfoots and Yetis are two different creatures?" Kevin said with a wink.

Clytie finally saw a familiar face. The bad news was the familiar face was her sister's ex. Now Clytie didn't particularly love or hate Arynn- she just knew that Arynn was her ex. And as such Clytie tried to apply being respectful in that regard. She poked Arynn's shoulder and took out her device.

"Let's cut the niceties, where's my big sis?"

Zara stood in the hallway, staring at the Blackwood boy for a few minutes. She’d just got off of her shift, but was still on call if she was needed, which meant now her other work started. Her aunt and some of the other hunters were stuck on the other side of the blizzard, with no way in, so with their numbers down... She let out a sigh, looking up. “If there is someone up there, don’t let me regret this...” She muttered.

“Blackwood.” She said, walking over him, and zipping her jacket up. “Come out to my car with me. Hear we have some things to discuss.”

As evening drew in, Mara left the club in the capable hands of a manager, and headed out towards the mines. She wasn’t going to force her way in (though she could have if she wanted), but she was merely curious, and wanted to scope the place out alone. 

Only she wasn’t alone. Seeing a flashlight suddenly turn off, she spotted a guy with a small build, and definitely not any of the security. “Are you lost?” She asked, amused. “Anyone would think you were considering breaking in.”

Destiny paced back and forth in front of Freaks and Geeks, trying to catch a peek of Fish, only growing more frustrated when she didn’t see him. She’d been by the last few days trying to catch him during his shift, but always managing to miss him. With her head near to exploding from a lack of sleep, from nightmares, from feeling out of her freaking mind, she just needed to do dumb stuff, hang out with him. Anything to calm her down, and make her feel normal.

She saw someone approaching her and she sighed, pushing her hair back from her face. “Contrary to popular belief, I’m not casing the place, nor am I stalking anyone.” She sighed, hugging herself. “Do you know when Fish is working next? I need to see him.”

T H I S - O R - T H A T

introvert/extrovert: extroverted introvert

organized/disorganized: organized with her work, disorganized with her life

close minded/open-minded: tries very hard to be open-minded, but tends towards black-and-white thinking and struggles with perspective-taking, so comes across as closed-minded a lot of the time

disagreeable/agreeable: pretty agreeable most of the time, but can be pretty harsh when you hit one of her buttons.

cautious/reckless: cautiously reckless, I guess? She tends to plan things about 75% of the way through and then end up choosing the stupid thing anyway.

patient/impatient: mostly impatient, because she doesn’t deal with boredom too well.

outspoken/reserved: pretty outspoken - gets a little reserved for a while after she’s made Pathfinder because she doesn’t think she’s cut out for it, but starts to speak up more again once she finds her feet.

[traegics]

A gruff grunt left the male's lips at the offered flower, glance of distaste given in the younger male's direction briefly before returning his gaze to his costume as he shifted the top once more. "Not my cup of tea," Blade simply offered in response, tone it's usual temperature of cold as he eventually huffed and gave up on making himself feel even remotely comfortable in his garments.

"I'm not a costume guy," he chides curtly, gaze returning to the witch before him as his frame faltered into his typical military stance that years of service had drilled into him when he was simply standing and observing. "I prefer regular clothing. Hell, I'd even prefer my army greens over this shit but had to appease the wife so here we are."

"Floere." Arynn chimed his spell as he approached the man; clutching the seed in his hand as it blossomed into an orange rose and watching him tug on his clothing. He chuckled to himself when he got within earshot to hear the remarks. "Rose for your evening, handsome? Don't worry," He held up his hands some, "I won't get mad if it's not your cup of tea." He offered a smile to the gentleman.

"Trust me though, costumes weren't exactly much better in the future either. Unless you were attending a convention and putting a ton of work into your cosplay costumes." He rolled his shoulders some - the deep green of his costume's cape rippling with the motion. "I just had my Sis help me hand-make mine. Much more comfortable."

All my characters. c: 

Estinien Grumpyhugs (main)

Grinnaux Senpai (previously Ser Grinnaux because someone on Mateus had it already :()

Erevard Gascoigne: Originally I intended for him to be a Dzemael Knight, under Grinnaux before Grinnaux becomes a Heavens Ward member. Jist of his story was his parents were Gridanian. His mother was Wildwood and his father Duskwight, and not very liked in the city. They lived on the outskirts and one day some bandits came along (who were actually Wood Wailers) and killed his parents. Erevard leaves the Shroud and ventures into Ishgardian territory; and this happens slightly before Ishgardian is locked off after the Calamity. 

Erethan Gascoigne:

This is my newest character! ^-^ I may add him as Erevard’s lil brother. For now he’s planned to be a voidsent hunter. Erethan was my SWTOR name so while it may not fit conventional naming for Elezen I’m keeping it. 

Haurchefant Fortemp (previously Haurchefant Senpai. the name wasn’t taken so why the heck not?) I think you know what horrible things I do with this character.

Malavai Quinn: Malavai was originally a FFXIV attempt copy at Malavai from SWTOR but since then I’ve kinda changed him cause I’m Elezen trash. What little story I have planned for him is he’s an Uldahn merchant and was born and raised there. 

I’ve also got an Arenvald at level 1, but I don’t have any screens of him x)

And finally! Lizard girl, Arynne Dazkar. Arynne was also a SWTOR name of mine I am keeping with me. She’s a Dazkar and a feisty lil monk lady.

[traegics]

She was beyond fortunate to have managed to get her hands on a more realistic looking Wonder Woman costume to don to the Mikaelson party, grin plastered to her lips as she entered the compound with her small group of friends all dressed in various DC hero costumes. Laughter and small talk was made amongst the group, gazes flittering around the compound as they tried to decide what they wanted to do first when her gaze caught onto a familiar face and she fell quiet, almost sullen before her frame was being nudged forward and her friends were waving her off, telling her they'd meet her at the bar before she eventually finally moved towards the male. "Little early for the party tricks and flirting, isn't it," Jenny questioned in a teasing tone from behind him as he passed out yet another flower with a soft, subtle compliment to the attendee. "Might come off a little desperate, tsk tsk."

A costume party was just the event the cities needed to help get their mind off the recent tragedies and focus on rebuilding and regathering themselves. Arynn was especially eager to attend - wanting to show off the exquisite work that Aliyah had put into helping him with his Prince Naveen costume for the evening. He could have probably managed alone, but he knew his elder sister and he had been wise to let her aid him in the endeavor.

He'd already gotten to work entertaining himself with several of the strangers that had started trickling into the Mikaelson family's compound; creating festive orange roses with his magic and offering them to a variety of young men and women with a 'handsome' here and a 'gorgeous' there, all paired with his signature warm smile. The party was about having fun and that was exactly what he intended to do.

Kevin snorted. "Me smart." Kevin had a small sad smile. "Once upon a time maybe I was a super intelligent though." Kevin joked. "But I'll take the compliement dude." Kevin said with a smirk.

"Hey if I ever found Mothman that would be cool. I think there are things that aren't human out thee-" Kevin said in a distant voice. "I would like to talk to them get to their level. Maybe world peace." Kevin said with a grin. There was a eyebrow raise. "What's stopping you? Other than your father's family being kinda...." Kevin snapped his fingers. "Douchey." Kevin asked.

"Occult like the study of the supernatural-" Kevin said tilting his head. "That's pretty radical dude." Kevin said voicing his approval.

Arynn continued to smile as the young man spoke; although he couldn't recall the last time any reputable crypto-zoologists of import were discussing the proper classification for the fictional Bigfoot. At least, none that he had ever been made aware of. A light, dismissing scoff escaped him. "Forget those people. You probably just intimidated them by being smarter than they were." He smiled.

"Paranormal investigator, huh? Okay. Nah, man, that sounds like it could be interesting work." He laughed once more. "Uh..." A small pause before he shook his head and shrugged at the same time. "Not really. I mean, there's an old piece of my father's family history that I wouldn't mind trying to bring back and polish up someday. I'm a ways off from doing anything in that department though." He explained. "For now - I'll settle for my Occult Studies classes."

[decoraclytie]

Clytie does feel for Arynn a little bit. But only a little. Clytie herself was still very protective of her sister. There was a scowl before she typed into her device. "Likely story..." Clyie looked at him before getting up in his personal space. "You are going to help me find her then."

Arynn had never really had too much of an issue with Clytie. She was protective of her sister, of course, but they hadn't exactly been at one another's throats during the time the two had dated. Seeing the woman storm towards him and poke his shoulder put a frown on his face. "Clytie, hey.... Jen? I haven't seen her since the party. Honest." He held his hands up some. "It was before all the madness set in." He added. He really hadn't expected his ex to be there in the first place.
