Shards of Memory-Prologue: Fractured Union

*Valyssa licks off a bit of the chocolate first, smiling and making an "Mmmm" sound as she then takes the chocolate-covered fruit in her mouth and savours the taste.*

"Mmmm," she says again, "This is good!--Try some Zaeryn!"

*And she dips another fruit in the chocolate and holds it before him.*

[SBLOCK]*Zaeryn takes the piece of chocolate covered fruit from her fingers, seductively licking them as he draws the fruit into his mouth. Chewing slowly, enjoying the contrast of the flavours, he releases a contented sigh before replying enthusiastically:*

“Valyssa my darling, I think this might even rival the strudel!”[/SBLOCK]

Talia raised an eyebrow at the excedingly long line of people, not really interested in standing in it. She cannot help but to smile, therefore, when Subterfuge leads her to the private entrance.

"I take it you've been here before," she says teasingly.

*Kirkesh gets a good, clean slice with her dagger against one of the guards, cutting deeply and spilling a good deal of blood--one more of those and he would take that one from the fight for sure.*

*The two flanking guards both come incredibly close to dealing devastating blows to Kirkesh due to some good luck on their part, but the nimble Dolathi manages to dodge slightly--still two solid blows, but at least she didn't take a majour hit.*

*The final guard steps back and slices the bonds on the immobilised guard, who is able to do little more than stand and draw his weapons before Kirlkesh is ready to strike again, hopefully ending the flanking manoevre.*
(OOC:
Kirkesh's Dagger 12 + 8 = 20, Hit.
Guard C takes 12 Damage!
Vanessa does nothing.
Guard A delays in his tied-up chair.
Guard B's Sword 19 + 8 = 27, critical threat.
Confirmation 2 + 8 = 10, not a crit.
Kirkesh takes 8 Damage.
Guard C's Sword 20 + 7 = 27, critical threat (dice don't like you today!)
11 + 7 = 18, not a crit.
Kirkesh takes 9 Damage (yup, definitely not).
Guard D backs up 5 feet and slices the bonds on Guard A, who then stands up and picks up his weapon.
Kirkesh's turn again.)

Noting that IC remembers him between games, Finding the guards a bit more compitent than he might have expected, his eyes shift to Vanessa, hoping that perhaps she has some idea to stop any more blood shed, or at least his. He continues to attack the one and dodge the other.

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
*Shinoa nods stoically, accepting any hardship that would come upon her as long as she has a chance to save her children:*

"I understood, Yuriko-sama...if it comes down to it, leave me behind and save the children instead. I thank you for your aid, and I owe you a deep debt of honour..."

*She turns to gather the needed supplies.*
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*Valyssa nods in agreement.*

"I think it just might, at that, my dear Zaeryn."

*Then she notices a bit of chocolate still on his lip and licks it off slowly.*
[/SBLOCK]

Talia:
[SBLOCK]
"Well I had to be here to get the tickets for you, right silly?" Subterfuge teases right back, holding the door open for Talia to go in first.

Kirkesh:
[SBLOCK]
*Vanessa isn't really sure if there's anything she can do without giving herself away, but even so, she prepares to enter the fray if Kirkesh is in dire need.*

*Kirkesh slashes the flanking guard again, and this time her dagger pierces deeply into the guard's chest, causing him to go unconscious and begin bleeding to death.*

*His flanking partner cries in outrage and makes an attack that Kirkesh begins to dodge, sure that she has made it out of the way, but somehow it still manages to connect, just barely.*

*The other two guards swing towards Kirkesh but slice through only air, as the agile Swashbuckler dodges the two poorly-executed attacks with ease.*
(OOC:
Kirkesh's Dagger 17 + 8 = 25, hit.
Guard C takes 13 Damage and drops unconscious and dying.
Vanessa readies an action.
Guard B's attack 15 + 6 = 21, just barely pulls off a hit.
Kirkesh takes 7 Damage.
Guard D's attack 5 + 5 = 10, Miss.
Guard A's attack 2 + 5 = 7, Miss.
Kirkesh's turn.)

[SBLOCK]*Catching her tongue with his own, Zaeryn kisses Valyssa deeply their tongues entwining once again...when they finally part a little breathlessly Zaeryn reaches for a pastry which he dips in the chocolate, making sure to get some on his fingers, before bringing it to Valyssa’s mouth.*[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*Valyssa happily bites into the pastry, licking her lips and then eating the rest of it, before--sure enough--coming down to Zaeryn's fingers to lick the chocolate off once more.*
