"Last call was hours ago," Malakai commented, barely glancing up at the newcomer as he dried the glass in his hand with a towel. Eyes shifted to the clock then back to his work. Closing had been hours ago too. Did he forget to lock the door again? Anyways...this had to be a vampire, most people would be home already, sleeping to help put off tomorrow's hangover.

There was a soft tinkling as the glass was slid into place to hang over the bar with the rest of them, followed by a dull whirring as he used the barmaid to scrub another glass. Eyes flicked to his guest one more time than down to the three-compartment sink. Scrub, rinse, sanitize, dry. He continued, "Is there something I can do for you? Call you a cab?"

[MSG - shams al-aseel] Last call was almost an hour ago.

[MSG - shams al-aseel] But I could probably make an exception for a pretty lady who doesn't mind watching the owner clean up.

open : f (similar age or younger) muse : malakai rivers (33, heterosexual, mafia lackey) plot : malakai is best friends with the son of a mafia boss and works very closely within this family. while attending one of their parties, he meets your muse. they've never officially met but she is linked to a rival family (best friends with the daughter of that family, on a fact-finding mission, undercover, her and somebody else crashed the party, whatever) and they hit it off.

malakai owed a lot to the danes family. thanks to his own father's loyalty, they had taken kai in upon his death and treated him like family. it made sense for him to return the favour and work high within the ranks of the family business. as a result, he was expected to atrend their parties. he was grateful but god, sometimes the parties felt so stuffy. especially the ones where they were working under the guide of the cover business or something charitable. malakai had no idea where his best friend had gotten to but instead of finding out, he lifted his drink and snuck off into the depths of the house, looking for somewhere he could be alone for a moment. he slipped into a spare bedroom and was surprised to find another person there, "hello," he said, raising an eyebrow at her as he placed his glass down on a nearby table, "something take your fancy in here, did you?"

Y'know what, I'm gonna say something controversial, but that I think is fitting;

I think that under some circumstances, and maybe through forced co-operation, I think Ikit Claw and Malakai Makaisson could find some common ground between each other. They are both insane geniuses who have both developed massively destructive war machines and weaponry, and they are both seen as "oddballs" by their own kin, with Ikit having gone near full-on cyber-rat, and Malakai being a Slayer who does not wanna die by hurling himself at a monster's face, but wants to keep building shit until something blows up in his face.

"  where  do  you  think  you're  going  ?  "

[cfgcdsandmcnsters]

Malakai nodded in response to the question, hands on the edge of the counter, supporting his weight as he listened. He couldn't help his curiosity, this was clearly a newer vampire, and Malakai wondered whether he was referencing his sire or someone else.

Instead of questioning him though, he offered a piece of his own story. "I was forced to leave the woman I loved. She was the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Kind and generous. She had a smile as bright as the sun. I had wanted to ask her to marry me, but never got the chance."

Malakai had been tortured before being turned into a vampire himself. And he'd never went back home, too afraid he'd be unable to control himself around his family or other loved ones. It had taken a couple of centuries for him to feel confident in his ability to be around humans and control his bloodlust.

looking at him Nate thought about this .he didn't think anyone would know what he really was and what was really going on with him and what he was looking for in this place and he felt he would never ever find him no matter what he did and no matter how much he longed for his maker even now and it scared him deep inside knowing he could never be happy and that is scary but he was going to live with it whatever this life was it was living or existing.

"it's a very long story. Have you ever been in love ? It's the most beautiful thing and the worst possible feeling ever .I was in love once and they left me and never thought about me and if I am happy or not .it's a fucked up story but it happened and I don't think I will find them again "

grabbing the drink the vampire drank it down and he set the glass down and he looked at him hoping he could keep up being human and not have the so called mask slip off like it always did.

@aerospectrum said "I don’t know how to tell you what’s wrong with me.” (from Castiel to your choice if that's ok?!)

"I don't really know either. I mean, you're wearing a trench coat and it's a hundred degrees out." Malakai shrugged his shoulders, a flat expression settling into his features. He'd been told on several occasions to keep his snarky comments to himself with anyone who visited the circus.

They could be potential clients - Borislav always said.

Malakai didn't care, not today. He looked up at the stranger, tilting his head slightly. His senses picked up on something different in this guy's blood. He suddenly questioned whether he was human or not. "Well, whatever your issue is, you might not wanna stick around if you're not human and have powers. Borislav's on the hunt for new acts."

"Y'know," Malakai started as he poured liquor into a glass. "They say bartenders make the best therapists." There was a slight scraping sound as he pushed the glass across the counter, "First one's on the house."

@ignisregina sent: [ massage ] — sender gives receiver a massage (Mal)

A gentle sigh slid past parted lips, his eyes closing as he felt her fingers working out the kinks that had formed in his neck and shoulders. "You didn't have to do this, y'know," he told her as a smile curled the corners of his mouth, "But I really appreciate it." Head turned, tilting just enough to press a kiss of thanks against Marianne's fingertips.

Elisabeta to Malakai; onlythatwhichtheydefend

"What can I say?" he shrugged, half smirking when he looked at her. "It's not very often other vamps want anything to do with me." Malakai pretty much kept to himself, practically living in his club, hanging on to what little humanity he hoped he had left. "Obviously curiosity got the best of me."

[gctawaygirl]

Kai only smirked in response to her statement, giving a hint that he did know what she was talking about, even if he didn't do any of it on purpose. He shrugged nonchalantly, "I am a hard man to read, I will admit. I like it that way," he raised an eyebrow, glancing down at the ring he now stopped twisting. "You've heard of them?" he asked, curious as to how, "Yes, I am their chosen son, their stray if you ask Grayson," he replied, referring to the biological Danes son and Kai's best friend, "You don't seem to mind though," he added with another, wider smirk. He glanced at his half finished drink and downed it in two gulps, "I can hardly turn down a beautiful woman such as yourself, can I?"

She chuckled at his words anyways. A genuine laugh, actually, that left her lips. It was refreshing, having this kind of conversation. "I'm sure you know exactly what I mean." Poppy said when she looked at him before glancing down at the watch her wore around his wrist. It wasn't until then when she noticed the ring around his finger. "I'm not sure, I can't figure you out and it's kind of frustrating me." Poppy admitted, dodging his question while her eyes moved back up to meet his. "But a Danes, huh? You might not be my father's new fave after all." Let's just say her family wasn't exactly fan of the family that took in little Malakai. They had quite the history, which she knew little of. Sadly for them, though. Her interest in him only grew. "Can I get you another drink?" Poppy asked before chugging the drink he'd given her only a few minutes ago. She was quite the quick drinker.

serenade (the song is la vie en rose, in french too) /for mal

It had been a pretty quiet night at the club, even for a weeknight. Meaning there wasn't really much for Mal to do after locking up except entertain the only person that he allowed in after 2AM.

"See, this is why I don't hire a manager," he had insisted as he counted the little money in the drawer that he'd made that night. "Nothin' I can't handle, and I have extra bartenders for the weekends."

The lights were still dim over the dancefloor, pinks, purples, greens, and blues spinning across the tiles waiting to be turned off. The sound of metal sliding against metal echoed in the now quiet club as he closed the cash drawer and shut down the register. The money would be secured in a safe in his office until he could manage to make a bank run.

As he'd made his way from around the counter, Malakai took Marianne's hand, leading her onto the empty dance floor. "Besides, you gotta admit, it's almost romantic in here, in an Alice and Sheryl kinda way." He let one arm slip around her waist, hand resting on the small of her back. His other hand freed hers from his grasp so he could reach up to tuck hair behind her ear, head tilting so his forehead could rest against hers. "And we wouldn't get a moment like this if there were other employees runnin' around in here. All we're missing is a song."

painting malakai really makes me so happy even if i end up hating the result i spend the whole time painting going yay nose eyes jaw the way he often has a relaxed open mouth instead of a firm set expression the slightly elfy ears. it is so embarrassing to 1) have a muse 2) have him be just a guy who can reblog my posts. like i can’t stress how much he’s just a tumblr user. he used to reblog porn gifs and in 2018 threatened to delete his blog if they went through with the ban.

THOUGHTS ° ᡣ𐭩 . ° . [spoilers ahead]

okayyy let me just start off with WHAT THE EVER LOVING FUCK WAS THAT ENDING LAUREN???? i'm not okay because of it. like nuh uh get lost. u had no right to do that (im saying this as if it didnt get spoiled for me and i didnt gaslight myself the entire book read that it wasn't going to happen)

i would like to straight up say this seemed like a filler book. just a set up for the next one, it didn't really have all too much plot-wise aside from pae and kai's romance. it was less on the fantasy side and more on the romance but i still enjoyed it a lot. and obviously since it was a filler book there was less character development (for some- im looking at you paedyn)

kai and pae were really cute in this book honestly (and as it mostly focuses on the romance ofc they were) the banter and everything was so wonderful to read i was giggling and kicking my feet wayyy to much. the romance was romancing but also not romancing at the same time (im not even gonna try to explain that just use vibes)

i do feel as though lauren's writing has definitely improved from powerless. she has this whimsical magical style of writing that i love it really takes me into the world of the book (mostly). other times the long sentences were too much in moments. like lauren. we did not need to know the colour of the bricks in the market at this certain moment in time when you'd already explained the colour two pages ago-

CHARACTERS ° ᡣ𐭩 . ° .

paedyn - ok i love her. i really do she's such a good fmc BUT for me in this book she was boring-ish. and hella indecisive like girly pop if i had kai talking to me like that i'd be folding so damn fast- but yeah it felt like she didn't have too much character development aside from finding out her dad was actually her dad. also i idk who the fuck she was trying to fool with her 'i hate you' to kai, like be fucking for real bitch no you dont.

kai - ok bye i could write a whole rant on why i love this man. like im sat. this book felt more like kai's book (as powerless felt like pae's) imo we got more on his backstory and i think his character (and povs) were more interesting for me to focus on. also his flirting and little one liners had me giggling and shit my sister actually woke up to me grinning like an idiot under torch light-

kitt - bye idek why i made this section for him. this is going to entirely be hate fr. OKAY WE GET IT DUDE UR A GHOST WHATEVER. OH MY GOSH U MISS UR DAD BUT IN THE NEXT POV U DONT LIKE BITCH CHOOSE A SIDE IDC ABT UR WHINY ASS. ALSO U CLEARLY HAVE AN OBSESSION WITH PAEDYN LIKE FUCKING HELL DUDE SHE IS UR 'MUSE' OR WHATEVER GET OVER YOURSELF. EUGH AND THEN PROPOSING TO HER?? YEAH SURE BUDDY "YOUR FEELINGS FOR HER DIED" MHM YUP OKAY TOTALLYYY *clears throat awkwardly* can you tell i hate him?

QUOTES ° ᡣ𐭩 . ° . [its like all kai... im not even sorry about it either]

"you are my proof of paradise." - kai

"call us even. call me crazy. i don't care. just... just call me yours." - kai

"under different curcumstances i promise you im much more fun tied up." - kai (WHEN I TELL YOU I SCREECHED AND STARED AT THE PAGE. MALAKAI AZER-)

"just pae and kai." - kai

"she was supposed to be my forever. now i'll watch her become someone else's. because the beast doesn't get the beauty." - kai

jahsdgj i can't wait for the next book hehe
