Eclipse is sitting up in a tree, singing softly to herself while writing in her Journal! It is enchanted with Mystic Alarm so if anyone other than her touches it she knows! Unknown to Eclipse; Amy is shadowmelded up nearby behind Eclipse, looking over the Dhampir's shoudler at the Journal. Her Journal is a mix of language, some English and more Japanese!
Amy: amy dosn't know a word of japanese. she does have eyes of thoth however
Eclipse: After finishing that last bit she snaps the book closed, ties a small length of leather to close the book tight, holds onto it tightly to her chest looking out at the sky. a sniff. a little shakey inhale and she leans forward, her body, and everything she was holding/has on, turns into mist, floating away through the leaves and down to the ground, reforming there.. she wipes her eyes, seeming to recompose herself before walking back toward her Jeep to put the book away securely.
Amy: *while there, she notices Amy suddenly close behind her, smelling oddly sterile not quite, and her pheromones appear to be going nuts* "hey, there you are! you missed dinner" she says
Eclipse: "Oh! Hey Amy." she smiles kindly, stuffing the leather bound book back into a sack. "I'm uh... I haven’t been really hungry all day." she grins a little, showing those sharp teeth.
"So what did you cook up anyway? It wouldn't hurt to eat anything as long as I'm not taking away from someone." a light chuckle.
Amy: "Steak, potatoes, and apple pie." she takes a deep breath "was about to get some ice cream...but yea, forgot, you don't "eat"
Eclipse: "Oh I still eat! And Ice cream would be incredible right now really!" she grins wide. "Dude there are like a dozen awesome ice cream shops just a bit in town.. If it's not too horribly late.. even then there are some places that I can still get us some good ice cream. hmhm... and I love steaks too. preferably still bleeding."
Amy: she laughs "Actually I was going to make it with my magic toaster, it'd be another three hours to go back to town and we are leaving for canada in the morning
Eclipse: "Oh! right... that's so... Wow I didn't even think about that. I've been living without something like that far too long. but uh..." she looks Amy over briefly and leans back against the spare tire of her Jeep. the paint still wet on the rest of it. "There is just something more romantic about going out... or like... cooking? Hell just enjoying it somewhere special. You know?"
Amy: she grins "We're in a national park, maybe we can find a special place?"
Eclipse: "Yeah... I've been some crazy places in this city Amy. Nearly got caught hanging out on the antenna of the Empire State Building. Oh man... Amy you're so incredibly looking and I just... you must have a long line of people who've wanted to win your affection, huh?"
Amy: She blinks at that, and laughs and blushes at the same time, bringing her arms around her waist and hugging yourself "You'd be surprised, my track record lately has been awful"
Eclipse: "Ah.. haha.. better than mine but... well... lately has been interesting." a deep blush of her own. "eh... you want to talk about it? or just hug it out? I don't think I'd bite... yet. I am still getting used to accepting my whole nature all over again... it's really just.. boom."
Amy: She looks at her and smiles "A hug would be...fantastic, thank you" she says, opening her arms a bit
Eclipse: *Eclipse nearly jumps forward, wrapping arms around Amy, hugging tightly, having to crane her neck up to get her chin up on Amy's collar* "You're so tall hehehe"
Amy: *grins and holds her up, her hands going around her hips* "H-Hey!" she grins "your lucky i'm so strong, I almost got knocked off my feet there" she says and sighs "Anyway, Truth is I kinda just got dumped earlier this week...twice, so right now i've been kind of out of it" she grins "So that's kind of the problem. winning affection for my looks is easy. winning affection for more than that is...harder"
Eclipse: She moves her head to the side, pressing her ear against Amy's chest... right over her heart. "I did kill the first guy I really wanted a serious relationship with. and blood seems to be something that just does it for me... unfortunately. So who's butt do we need to kick for hurting you?" she squeezes into Amy, listening to her heart beating.
Amy: *shakes her head a little, though she blushes, as putting her ear aginst her heart puts her face directly aginst her breasts and she giggles a bit* "Look, I...yea. sorry for bringing up that memory" she says "But I don't want to hurt 'em, they deserve happiness I apparently just wasn't providing. It hurts, but I refuse to give into jealousy, you know? lets just go get some ice cream and find a nice place to sit and talk,eh?"
Eclipse: "okay.... Amy?" she pulls away a bit, looking up at Amy. "it may be a little bold of me to ask but... could I sleep with you? Not like... sex just.. sleep sleep." she pulls her lower lip in a little, biting it gently between her front teeth.
Amy: She blinks at that, clearly taken aback* "Ummm" she smiles "Sure" she says, the smile spreading into a grin as her hand holds her up in the hug by her hips, before leaning forward to let her down* "...why? hate sleeping alone?"
Eclipse: "I've always slept alone... and you're warm. I'm small and thin and get cold easily. I'm a Dhampir, not 'vampire'... I'm still alive so... yeah. I get cold. and you smell good." looking a little too the side at that, her cheeks glowing. "I promise to not bite.. unless you want me too." a little chuckle, looking back up to Amy, a wink.
Amy: she laughs "tell you what, let me get my ice cream and we'll see about a treat for you. you got any nice spots around here you see" *grins*
Eclipse: She nods looking around slowly, "there is a place out on a hill. Surrounded by tall bushes. Its clean, unlike some places on the beach."
Amy: "Sure" she grins and heads over to the fire, bending over to grab the toaster and head on up to the hill and sits down beside her, making a complete sunday, large enough to share*
Amy: *sits down beside her and grins, taking out a spoon and offering it* "...you know, we are on the beach, arn't you overdressed?"
Eclipse: Eclipse leans into Amy's shoulder, would take her fair share of the ice cream for sure! "This is good. Really is."
Amy: Amy smiles and provides a strong sholder, and quickly eats, although a bit messily as some of the melting cream falls on her* 'So how are you holding up? you had a lot of revelations today"
Eclipse: "I haven't had a chance to change after getting back really... So much on my mind. I keep a journal and just had to get some of it out. Is that odd?"
Amy: "No, lots of people keep journals" she grins "do you name it too?"
Eclipse: "Nah... My mom and pop used it from when I was born too. Pretty interesting looking back at that stuff sometimes. And I keep lyrics in it. Can't expect to just remember all of them."
Amy: "You write songs?"
Eclipse: "Try... Mainly just a bunch of cover songs. Still waiting for my muse."
Amy: "I'd like to hear some"
Eclipse: "Hmm... Well not sure what to pick out of the wilds really.". She sits up straight, takes a deep breath, holds it a moment. Let's it out in a huff " you put me on the spot I can't think now.". She grins sheepishly, "I promise I really do sing though. I could figure something out here in a minute."
Amy: *grins* "that's fine" *brings a spoon up to her face and licks it slowly*
Eclipse: *she takes another breath and lightly sings the chorus for pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb*
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.
"Only thing that really came to mind." She leans back over onto Amy's shoulder.
Amy: She grins, listening to her sing* "You do it well" she grins wider "say, here's some trivia for ya" she says and takes another melty bite to lick up "that song isn't about getting high like most people think. he was actually singing about how a sleazy doctor jetting him full of tranquilizers just before a show"
Eclipse: "I never thought about it. Just that chorus reminded me of stuff. Becoming numb to the crap of today's news. The wars and how the normal folk remain blissfully unaware of how things take advantage of them. Didn't know that though.". She smiles, rubbing the tip of her nose along Amy's upper arm.
Amy: she smiles a bit, feeling her nose go up, as she goes near the vein she looks down and grins* "Still hungry?"
Eclipse: "Sorta...". Eclipse smirks. " as the night goes on further I just get a little more hungry too."
Amy: She grins "Well, while I don't heal as fast as Emma does, I do heal pretty fast...and i'm curious what it's like...."
Eclipse: "Well... I'd love to let you. I could try and be gentle.". Eclipse places a hand over Amy's. Lifting it up and over, wrist up. "Depends on where too."
Amy: "...isn't it always the neck?" she asks, as you take her hand
Eclipse: "Nope. I don't know exactly how I know but.... Eh. I know the wrist is good. Not as good as the neck. And there is a place that is a little more intimate. The inner thigh.". She smiles very warmly as she mentions those.
Amy: *blinks, then grins wider* "So that's what you and Emma were doing in that tent, huh?"
Eclipse: "I was drinking from her neck. And it was pretty intimate too. She.. She's a very very interesting person. And. She.... She has very nice skills. I really shouldn't say much more than that."
Amy: she laughs "I won't pry" she says and turns her neck to the side, offering it"
Eclipse: Eclipse leans over, setting chin on Amy's shoulder. "If you're sure about it. I think it's supposed to hurt. Not feel really erotic like it does for Emma." she hums a little, inhaling Amy's scent.
Amy: "Probablly not, but I hurt every time I use magic, so pain is something i'm used to" she grins
Eclipse: "Okay. hmmm..." Eclipse rolls over toward Amy, getting on knees, straddling the blond's legs, leaning in on her. Eclipse looking right into Amy's eyes. "Lay back, I'd push you but I don't want to seem aggressive." she smiles, bumping their nose tips together briefly. "You really are amazingly beautiful Amy... I'm jealous really." a grin and a light chuckle as she pushes amy lightly to lay back.
Amy: *blinks in clear surprise when Eclipse crawls onto the leggy blonds lap, then blinks a bit as she grins* "So sitting in my lap isn't aggressive, but pushing me is? You do have interesting ideas of boundries...." she laughs, wiggling her toes as she throws her hair back, letting the tresses roll off her shoulder as her nose bumps with Eclipses* "Thank you, if you keep saying it I might even start to believe you" she says, as she lays back, letting her arms spray to the sides, her head tilting to expose her neck*
Eclipse: Eclipse lays down on top of Amy... she's the type that would weigh in at a hundred pounds if she were wearing concrete boots and were soaking wet... running her hands up Amy's sides, runs her nose up the front of her neck and chin, kisses her chin. "If I do happen to get too aggressive just toss me off, hopefully I will keep control though." she grins, moving her mouth over the right side of Amy's neck, letting her lips faintly tickle the skin, "I was so nervous when Emma let me drink from her... I couldn't think of anything but how much of a thirst I had."
Amy: She grins "Do be careful, though" she says, although Amy blushes as she feels the hands running up her sides "C--careful now" she blushes, but more at the hands at the light woman laying down atop of her, feeling hot despite herself "I'm not as durable as Emma is" she says, before chuckling despite herself
Eclipse: "and I'm not quite as thirsty as I was so... I should be a lot more gentle. I want it to be a pleasure, not torture Amy." a warm sensation as the little lady's tongue touches Amy's skin. a lingering lick. "I'm not a vampire you know... I just have fangs like one." She opens her mouth wide, setting the sharp tips onto Amy's skin, she would feel the pressure of them, a light pinch so far, just setting them in place.
Amy: Amy's heart beats faster in nervousness "...and the drinking part of one too...but I know what you mean" she says, in a shallow, breathy voice, not wanting to make any sudden moves
Eclipse: One of Eclipse's hands moves up, the fingers go through that long blond hair carefully, holding Amy's head softly, the other hand moves up Amy's chest, catching herself a feel of one of those breasts, as soon as Amy reacts to that she bites! The two top fangs piercing down deep! the two on the bottom just piercing the skin to hold herself in place, she lets out a light moan, working the teeth in deep, puncturing Amy's artery easily and letting the blood flow into the dhampir's eager mouth.
Amy: Amys body shivers softly, feeling the hand roll up--and her head tilting as the hand plays through the blonde tresses--she gasps, the nipple is clearly hard as she arches her back, just in time to feel the fangs sink in, letting out a sharp cry, fear mixed with pain and a strange pleasant sensation
Eclipse: Eclipse takes a few mouthfuls of Amy's blood, swallowing it down before stopping herself, slowly pulling the fangs out, making sure Amy is healing and isn't going to bleed uncontrollably! The tips of her top fangs hang on the skin only slight, tugging a little as they pull out. "Aaahh... that's good~" she licks at the wounds, which are hopefully healing!, cleaning the blood smear away. Wrapping her arms around Amy, sighing contently, hugging.
Amy: Amy lays there, feeling a bit odd as she groans softly, her hands reaching up slowly, to wrap around Eclipse's sholders, hugging the tiny woman as her fingers run through her hair, feeling her lift up, and yes, the puncture wounds are healing, bleeding stopping within moments as the wound closes within a minute as she shudders, her tension suddenly fading as she relaxes all over, sighing softly*
Eclipse: "Amy... was it okay? Your heart is still racing a little." she squeezes Amy in the hug a little. "be honest. I want to know."
Amy: "It was...fine' she smiles a little "It wasn't like giving blood at a blood bank, or getting cut. it was....close." she says, smiling I'll admit I wasn't expecting you to be laying on me while doing it"
Eclipse: "Well.. one part I just really like to lay like this... and I wanted to know what it was like. I always think of vampires knocking their victims down and pinning them down.. ripping into them like that. laying on top of them. I'm glad I can control myself."
Amy: She grins a bit "Not that I mind" she giggles "You really are a cuddly person arn't you?" she asks, turning her face to look into hers, her eyes distant
Eclipse: Eclipse smiles a little, looking up at Amy, nods, "I am I guess... I'm so lucky to have found people like you and Emma. I don't have to be afraid to get close. don't think I'd have to hide anything from you or her. I hope I wouldn't have to and I'd never want to hurt either of you." she lays her ear over Amy's left breast, listening to her heart.
Amy: Amy blushes again, since that puts the womans face directly over her breast as she grins* 'Thanks a lot....I'm sorry if I'm coming across as awkward, I've just....well like I said I've had a heck of a day. I'm...glad you feel so trusting of me" she says, with genuine surprise, her heart still beating fast
Eclipse: Eclipse sniffs a little, a tear falling "I'm just so happy..." she curls up a little on top of Amy. "I'm getting all misty eyed here."
Amy: *blinks, clearly unsure now* "...Wow...." she says, looking at her closely8 "You...you must have been...really lonely, huh?" she asks, holding her closely
Eclipse: "eh.. yeah. the past ten years have been rough. It wasn't all a bed of roses before that. All that can come later though.. Eclipse is what my mom and pop nicknamed me a long time ago, Amy." she smiles, wipes her eyes. "My given name isn't a big secret though.. It's Valerie. no harm in telling people that."
Amy: Amy blushes a bit "Oh, that explains...I mean yea" she grins "It's good to meet you...Valerie. but erm...actually there's a LOT of harm in telling people your given name"
Eclipse: "My so called 'true name' has been changed. it's no big deal. I still got my birth name but it's been like.. magically changed to something else. I dunno.. Sensei didn't explain how he did it."
Amy: "Oh...good" she laughs...which given she is strong enough to lift a slip like Amy with her little fingercauses Amy to promptly go bouncing up and down on her beautiful chest* "Sorry! it's just that true names were not commonly known in this era. I hear that people used to print their true names on cards they carried around with them on drivers licences. it really must make using magic on people easy, huh? all you have to do is say your classmates name before a spell"
Eclipse: She nods "Yep! I love showing people my ID. I look so young but..." she reaches into a pocket, pulling out a small billfold, opening it to her driver's license. ' Valerie K Albescu' Born March 14, 1963. "There ya go. I catch crap every time I travel somewhere new and want to buy some wine or something."
Amy: She blinks, looking at it closely, and then she suddenly grins "You're drivers licence is adorable! but wow, you really are pushing the limits of how much people'll beleive, right? Dont' vampires have to fake their deaths at some point?" she says "and yes, I know your not REALLy a vampire, but same thing for immortals in general..."
Eclipse: "Still have to obey the law... One reason I'm so happy to be away from it all with you guys." she puts the ID away, pocketing the billfold. "I'm looking forward to seeing what all there is to see. Maybe I could be a little asian girl sandwich between you and Emma." she grins sheepishly at that, blushing wildly. "God that sounds so dirty,right?" she lays her head back down on Amy's chest.
Amy: She grins a bit at that, and chuckles* "Amy...I...okay. I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I got dumped twice today. I'm not...ready to start a new relationship. and I'm really into you! You are adorable and cuddly in all the fun ways. but..." she shrugs "It's too soon. and well, Emma's my Neice, and she's not really into me that way" she says, sighing "It's nice being...close to you. it makes me think that maybe I can still find wonderful people"
"I'm not saying i'm not into you. I just...." she sighs, the pain is clear on her face
Eclipse: "It's okay Amy. We are friends, right? That's good enough and by golly that's a great thing. Being able to just lay around and enjoy the company of someone." Eclipse finally rolls over, off of Amy's chest to her left side. Props her head up with a hand. "Hey I haven’t been able to let myself go after my first breakup till here recently. Of course my first relationship was uh... it was something else."
Amy: She laughs "I'm sure" she says, leaning up "I wouldn't mind hearing about it...it might help" she smiles "heck, Emma would like to hear it too, or at least what you've been doing sinse then" she says, leaning up as she looks over, and...tentatively puts out a hand "And yes...we're friends. I would enjoy even being more than friends, maybe, but i'm just not ready for that again. I hope you arn't angry"
Eclipse: Eclipse takes the hand, firmly squeezing it, "I'm not angry Amy. Like I said... I'm happy. I'm more happy than I have been in a long long time. I'm learning to accept what I am even more too. That nagging hunger... thirst.. I've felt for near all my life is more or less gone."
Amy: She smiles* "Thank you. For..." she blushes "for being so...interested in me" she says and looks down, shyly
Eclipse: "eh... thank you for being cool with the crazy stuff I do?" she chuckles a little. "and thank you for letting me uh.. sample you. It's a really interesting feeling. Not a rush... or any kind of sudden fullfilment. I don't know how to describe it."
Amy: "Hey, if you enjoy it, I won't mind doing it again. although" she grins "You should ask emma more, she enjoys it far...FAR more than I do" *giggles*
Eclipse: "Oh! I know! w-wwoow. That.. woo! That! was awesome. I was able to just drink and drink and drink until I was completely satisfied!." she rolls over onto her back, looking up at the sky, licks her lips. "but I am worried about one thing."
Amy: "What's that?"
Eclipse: "The Kathy girl. a slave person.. she doesn't seem like any slave I could think of but more like some... submissive pet. I'm kind of worried about what she thinks of Emma and what Emma thinks of her and what she might think about me and Emma and if she sees me uh.. feeding? on Emma."
Amy: she laughs a bit "I...oh" she says, stopping and looking away sheepishly "Sorry! it's not, I wasn't laughing AT you, but the thought..." she sighs "Look, I am psychic and I was reading Kathy's emotions closely. she has no emotional attachment whatsoever. in fact she's not really submissive so much as she is...broken" she says, shrugs "All hint of defiance was beaten out of her with magical torment. she'll do what she's told. her opinion on Emma is as neutral as can be. we killed her previous mistress, so now she'll obey a new one. in fact she'll need a great deal of psycological help in order to actually feel anything for emma besides general mistrust"
"What she really needs is a good psycologist, unfortunately we have to leave this time so we'll have to do"
Eclipse: "Oh. Okay. So that's cool... She'd just learn that me and Emma cuddling and blood trickling down a little while we both make funny moaning noises to be completely normal." she bites her lower lip a little, looking up at the sky.
Amy: *and now...using empathy on Eclipse!*
Eclipse: Eclipse is Euphoric! the thoughts of feeding from Emma giving her very warm and fuzzy feelings as well. Her body shudders a little. Anticipation of doing it again, the same feeling a drug addict may have. Hopefully without the negative aspects of it.
Amy: she chuckles "You know, Emma would probablly let you sleep in her tent if you go and ask her" she grins
Eclipse: She grins wide at that. embarrassment, an akward feeling at the same time. "a-about that.. I uh.. don't want to accidentally bite her and.. well.. there is something to do with the way she works and how her reproductive... stuff.. in general works."
Amy: "She told me, that only happens if your blood gets into her, not the other way around. unless you bite yourself there's no risk...and she reguarlly uses a contraception spell that lasts for days to negate it, so there's no worry..."
Eclipse: "uhyeah... I accidentally cut my tongue kinda often and if I were to bite her in my sleep...."
Amy: "that's what the spell is for, silly, there's no risk"
Eclipse: Eclipse nods, looking Amy over again. "So... Amy? You don't wear any makeup or anything. You ever tried it? Even painting your nails up all pretty?"
Amy: *grins* "Umm...No, I don't, why? Well, I have some lip gloss I use now and then, mostly just because I was going through the desert and didn't want them to dry up"
Eclipse: "I have my makeup in my stuff bag. Could be fun to get all prettied up for no other reason than to see what happens. C'mon, it'll make ya feel better maybe too." she grins, getting to her feet, offering Amy a hand to stand.
Amy: She laughs "Don't we need light for that?" *grins and follows*
Eclipse: "Light? Oh! Right. I'm sure you we can find something.... I uh.. hehe When the lights go out I tend to see even better. but yeah... I used to paint my nails all the time in school. Having black nails was getting me entirely too much attention, from my fellow students as well as from teachers. It was not cool, not cool at all." walking back to camp now, making sure we leave nothing behind.
Amy: sheshrugs "could go into a tent and cast globe of daylight' *grins*
Eclipse: "Yeah! I really never had reason to learn that... New York is usually always lit up in some way and I can see in the dark so well. Should probably learn it just to know it some time. C'mon!" she breaks into a brisk run to get back. Sorta testing to see how fast Amy might be! Eclipse is fast for human standards.
Amy: Amy races after, fast, but not as fast as she is, although when she stops at the tent, a certain...part of her is still moving in the bikini enthusiastically
Eclipse: Eclipse laughs at that! "damn girl! Keep those things under control. Aah..." she giggles, going through her bag "I was cursed with the asian gene of having a small chest, I swear. Or they just never quite grew past 16, either way~" she pulls out what looks like a pink tackle box. "Alright, got it."
Amy: "hey now, its not so bad" she says, crawling in and casting globe of daylight, which goes up to rest aginst the tent roof 'having ones like these on your frame would be...awkward. Honestly, I think your chest goes great with your frame" she grins
Eclipse: "Thanks for that." she smiles, sitting on the floor of the tent and setting the box down, opening it up, it opens much like a tackle box too... tiered shelves and pockets. she hums thoughtfully looking Amy over. "maaan.... so what of color. you have any favorite colors?"
*also pulls the tail holders from her hair, letting it all hang loose*
Amy: "...wow, what are they all for?" she asks, curious as she leans in, picking up a random color "Uh....blue and green are my favorites"
Eclipse: Eclipse nods "It's a lot of general face paint stuff here too... I get a little dressed up on stage with making my skin even more! pale and darking out around my eyes. black lipstick. You do have some very blue eyes so maybe you'd like to bring some more attention to them."
Eclipse pulls a mirror out to show Amy herself. "Can put some eyeliner around your eyes and a complimentary color to really help them shine I think."
Amy: She grins "Well, i'm not sure what to add...eyeliner might help and uh...I think a bit of blush? or darker eyelashes?" she asks, trying to remember what usually goes with what*
Eclipse: She nods a little. "We can experiment with stuff. Show me your hands, let's see what you have for fingernails." sets the mirror down and holds her hands out for Amy's.
Amy: She nods and holds them out. Trimmed neatly and regularly, clearly "...I'm a mechanic, I keep them trim as a safety hazard"
Eclipse: "Okay... they are nice though. greens... blues." she ponders it over a moment. "Why the heck not..." relinquishing Amy's hands to pull out a jar of some glittery nail polish. "The smell of this stuff can be kind of strong so... you can open a window or something for sure." she grins sheepishly, opening the container to give Amy a sample of the smell. "I kinda like it personally."
Amy: She laughs "We spend a lot of time outdoors or in a panel van, windows are easy"
Eclipse: "Well it's mainly just applying it. once it's dry everything's fine." she takes Amy's left hand, sets it on her own Thigh with fingers straight. "now the only bad thing is that that cleaning spell might wipe it right off. think it did my own everything. Guess that's what that makeover spell is good for too." she smirks a little, applying some of the polish to Amy's index finger, careful slow strokes of the little brush, leaving a trail of sparkling green.
Amy: She grins "Yea, we really need to ask Emma during a spelling bee"
"It looks kinda pretty..." she frowns "does grease make it run?"
Eclipse: "Nah. once it's hard it should stick on pretty good. unless grease has acetone in it." she looks to Amy questioningly.
Amy: "No, but it is used to clean metals prior to welding or painting" she grins "It's a great industrial cleaner"
Eclipse: "shit... that's going to be a problem, huh?" she cringes. "You don't wear gloves while you're doing that, huh?"
Amy: she laughs "Hello, welding and painting! you better believe I wear gloves. and gas masks and goggles"
Eclipse: "Hey hey, I don't know much of anything about that other than it's cool." she chuckles, looks at the completely painted nail. "It is pretty though." she blows gently on the nail to help speed it's drying.
Amy: She grins and wiggles her fingers
Eclipse: "Screwit I'm painting them all. I hardly ever get to paint someone else's nails." she grins, painting each one. "So what was your childhood like? What kind of crazy place did you grow up?"
Amy: "Lazlo" she laughs "It's....uhh...well it's kind of built where Toranto used to be and crazy is the right word for it!"
"It's kind of a long story"
Eclipse: She nods a little. "So future stuff I might learn about first hand, right? Anything really stand out while you were there? Something happening to you."
Amy: "she laughs "I have to explain the place so you can understand the crazy stuff. otherwise i'd just be naming things and places you have no concept of"
Eclipse: "Alright. give me a run down?"
Amy: "Well, the easy parts are that the city was founded when a bunch of new mages who wanted to mix magic and technology got tired of traditional mages telling them they're crazy and went to an abandoned but ley line heavy city to do R&D on their own. the city just....kind of grew from there, from a small guild of wizards looking for a place to study in peace to one of hte biggest cities on the planet once techno-wizardy took off as a fantastic idea and a lucrative business. it's basically run by the council of learning...which is kind of descendant from the original techno-wizards organization but applied to government of the growing city as a whole, and lower house congress that acts kind of like a bicameral legislature. the head of the council is Plato, who is actually an ancient dragon. he disguised himself as just another wizard in the beginning, but when another dragon tired to claim the new city as part of it's domain Lazlo shifted and threw him out. after that..." he shrugs "well he's a really nice guy so we kept electing him. as long you remember he is a dragon. he has a great deal of patience for his kind, but no one wants to push him too far"
Eclipse: She pauses after a stroke at the mention of DRAGON. She blinks, seeming to be a little shocked at hearing that. "dragons? like real dragons? really really real.. like fire breathing scaly big mean dragon... they're real!?"
Amy: "Oh, absolutely. and yes, he absolutely looks just like the classical pictures of western dragons, fire breathing and all that. what they don't tell you is that all dragons are natural shapeshifters, so they usually go around as humans or animals when they don't want to draw attention. generally speaking, if a dragon actually shows up in full dragon size, they are either too young to shapeshift for long, or you done fucked up--big time" she laughs
Eclipse: "what do you think the chances are of meeting a dragon? like normally? maybe here on this world?" she slowly continues painting Amy's nails. "B-but please do continue."
Amy: "Shapeshifters, remember? for all you know you have met one and you didn't know it" she grins "But in this time, very very low, the magic levels are too low to appeal to them and they'd be really really sleepy. most just left earth as magic faded. if we get to the future? Much higher. Earth after the apocalypse is chock full of magic which is very appealing to dragons, there are usually a few dragons in every major city, not to mention ones hanging out in rural lairs, or hiding among smaller populations...and then there's Freehold which is a city founded and ruled by about a hundred or so dragons run by a council of ancient dragons who call themselves the dragon kings...." she shrugs "Basically Dragon Hunting is a viable career choice in the future, albeit one with an extremely high fatality rate"
"Also ethical problems. the truth is dragons tend to run the moral spectrum the same as humans do. you have plato is a saint for humans let alone dragons, and plenty of selfish and villanious ones extorting small communities for tribute and virgins"
Eclipse: "Haha yeah? Wow... I just never really thought about it. That'll help me prepare for the time when I really do come face to face with one... I hope." she nods, admiring a few more of the nails painted. "So now that I have the background.."
Amy: *Shrugs* "Basically, and I'm not trying to sound bragging, but Lazlo is pretty much defined by it's inclusiveness to all races and creeds. and I don't mean black or asians or hispanic. I mean simvian and rahu-men and elves and dwarves and grackle-tooths and vanguard brawlers and quick-flex and ixion and greeots and Noli devil men and...." she grins
Eclipse: "Yeah that's freakin impressive. It's like America but with even more... variety! and less hate. Jeeze... You seem to know your history pretty good Amy. I grew up in the late 60's through the early mid 70's. I'm Asian... sorta... mostly? I've got funny teeth, I'm short! and my nails are really weird. You might be able to imagine the shit I went through in school. Sounds like I would have loved to have grew up where you lived."
Amy: "I read a library a few days ago. you have no idea how valuble it was. you know pre-rifts history has been almost completely lost? your book collection will be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. no. seriously. if you raid a bookstore before we leave we'll be filthy fucking rich"
"Well, it would be if we could prove it's all authentic. but any pre-rifts book has some market value"
Eclipse: "Really? dude I've got a set of encyclopaedia." she grins. "But there's a lot of cool stuff in there too... Can't always go out to the library after all."
Amy: She grins "Yup!"
"Anyway, don't get the wrong idea, it's not like mos eisely or star wars where there'll only be a handful of humans in most scenes, humans are the majority population in the city, we just make it a point to be nice to all the people who aren't human"
"and me? well, Techno-Wizardy is kind of the city's main art and income. licenced member of the center of learning"
Eclipse: "Ah... That's cool, that's coool! So the whole picking on geeks thing doesn't really happen there...?"
Amy: She laughs "People who think techno-wizards are helpless nerds get over it when they see what we can do"
Eclipse: "Ah... yeah I'm thinking I would have had a lot better childhood there than here." she smiles a little. "Almost done with the nails."
Amy: "Probablly, vampires have a really bad reputation, like, really bad, but you walk around in the day so you'd get a pass"
Eclipse: "Right. That's good at least. So I'd still possibly get a few strange looks..." she blows on the last nail. "They're still not completely dry but they are painted at least."
Amy: "Hrm..." she makes a face "Dosn't really match my skin I don't think....sorry, can we try another color?"
Eclipse: Eclipse nods, pondering. "Want to try a blue? maybe the glitter isn't doing it for you. heh.. want to try black?" she smirks, showing her own black nails. "I actually have a polish in here that can almost make my nails look normal... still dark though."
Amy: she grins "Black is a bit of a stark contrast...lets try blue without the glitter?"
Eclipse: She nods, pulls out a bottle of nail polish remover... pauses a moment. "Try and cast that cleaning magic... see if it pulls the polish off."
Amy: *Casts Clense, It only cleans off what the caster would consider "unclean" So yes.*
Eclipse: *she puts the bottle of acetone away! digging through till she finds her simple blue polish* "Surprised I have some that's not all glittery."
Amy: "...Glitter Girl, huh?" she asys, grinning madly as if some kind of joke
Eclipse: "Yeah! I like glittery stuff. Sometimes put a little shimmer on the skin too."
Amy: She laughs loudly
Eclipse: "Huh?" she blinks, "did I just miss something?"
Amy: "Sorry. Glitter boys and glitter girls are a kind of really shiny laser-resistant power armor" she grins
Eclipse: "Oh! That sounds pretty awesome. Armors? Like knights and stuff. but I imagine more.. future-stuff." a light chuckle as she repaints the nails.
Amy: "Oh there's all kinds of armor designs. glitter boy is...unique. glitter girl is a glitter boy with boobs...don't ask" she grins "There's armor that looks kind of light knights, armor that looks like cheep plastic crap, armor that looks like chainmail, armor that looks like composite stuff...armor is a pretty fucking big industry"
Eclipse: "So with that in mind there must be a lot of things that want to eat people there?"
Amy: "oooh yea. and bandits and stuff. I mean, small missile launchers and laser guns and giant robots are around, so unarmoed people don't last long outside of civilized areas. there's towns and villages where a few thugs with laser guns and big armor can walk into a small village and more or less declare themselves king, or mages..." she grins "that's why my mother risked her life to go to lazlo, there's a lot of danger everywhere'
Eclipse: "Oh man... that's really sucky. So there are bad points of living on that world too... like having to live within the walls of a city if you want to avoid dangers sort of stuff..."
Amy: she nods "That's why the burbs...long story. lets just say people will go to ridiculous lengths for safety. remember when I said you had evil dragons extracting tribute from small towns near their lair? that's actually not a bad deal, dragons tend to keep demons and monsters from their domain, so as long as you can pay you're relatively safe...." she sighs "A whole lot of places pay villains for safety for the sake of keeping out greater evils or at least perceived greater evils"
"And then you have groups like the tundra rangers and cyber knights who are basically...well, knights, they go around killing monsters and protecting villages and towns who don't have the technology or magic to keep monsters away themselves. or they try to at least. and the demons..." she rolls her eyes "Yea, demons are real too, Calgary is called the city of monsters now. it's ruled by demons"
Eclipse: "Well.. I know vampires and ghouls and undead things are real so... demons aren't too far fetched to me." she grins. "So back to your childhood though... anything in particular that stood out to you?"
Amy: "Bleeding from my eyes the first time I cast globe of daylight?" *she laughs "That kind of brought class to a standstill"
Eclipse: "Woah! Yeah! That would freak out everyone for sure!" she laughs, capping the bottle
Amy: She grins "Now THAT'S more my style~" she holds them up and grins, spreading her hands out to show them off*
Eclipse: "Goood good!" she smiles, quite proud of herself. "Now see what we can do with those eyes of yours, hmm?" she puts the polish away, pulling out some eye-liner pens and some other powder makeup.
Amy: "Any standout events from your childhood?" she asks, leaning in "remember, I still don't know all that much about your culture"
Eclipse: "Oh.. well.. aside from the constant reminder from my peers that I'm different? Seems like my life got a lot better after I killed my first boyfriend." she sighs at that. "Umm.. I think it was in 80. Mom and Pop took me to see a Pink Floyd concert. they were doing their Wall tour. I attended every day of the concerts. their second half I was sitting up in the ceiling beams. They never caught me and I had an awesome seat from up there."
Amy: "...who's Pink Floyd. and why were they touring on city walls?"
Eclipse: "Oh... Pink Floyd is a band. a music group. and the significance of the wall is from the Second World War. the wall that separated East and West Germany. I don't really get the connection. I just love the music and the show, lots of laser lights and smoke."
Amy: "But world war 2 was in the fourties, you said it was the eighties"
Eclipse: "The songs are being played in the 80's and beyond. Amy if they had even tried to play anything in Germany at that time they'd be shot on sight..."
"Ugh... Tell ya what I have the CD's of the music if you can hold on. Just have to pull out my speakers and box. make sure I have batteries..." she gets up, heading out for a moment.
Amy: She grins and lets her, honestly curious
Eclipse: Eclipse comes back with a rather large boombox that has a CD player! and a hard case, she sets the stereo down, opens the top and puts in a disk, closing it carefully and hitting a button to turn the thing on and it plays~ www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr5AJJuzO8A&list=PL851070FBC86C544C
"These things are incredible. no tape to get eaten up. no vinyl to get gouged. just a little laser that reads stuff on the shiny side of the disk. you've seen these before? Being from the future I'd think you have." holding up a CD, the cover has what looks like a Scarab with wings on it and the word 'Journey' on it.
Amy: She listens to the first bit with a look that you might have if you were trying to judge music from the 20's, recognising the artistry but sounding so strange she's not sure what to think "It's....different from anything i've heard before" she says to the end, glancing at the CD's and snorts "Yea, they'll be obsolete in 20 years...no, seriously, they will be, they'll be replaced with handheld devices with more processing power and graphical fidelity than your university's mainframe"
"I'd show you my version and my music collection, but...." she gestures to the no-pockets on her bikini "I'd need you to grab my jacket"
"But wait...is that...Journey?" she says, reaching out and grabbing the album suddenly, taking a closer look
Eclipse: "Alright. uh.. Yeah. It is."
Amy: "I've heard half of "Don't stop beliving". just half, that's all that was left I could salvage from the drive. I always wanted to hear the rest..." *turns the box over to see if it's on it"
Eclipse: "don't.. think so." she opens the hard case again, flicking through the CD cases, "Here it is. It's on the Escape album." and she hands it to Amy, taking the one she has back.
Amy: "...yes it is! it's the first track!"
Eclipse: *nods* "I guess You'd want to play that one now, huh? After this song..." as 'Mother' starts playing. "now face me and see if I can get a plan on these peepers of yours."
Amy: She nods and listens as Eclipse works
Eclipse: And Eclipse sings along with it softly.
Amy: Amy...frowns a bit, more as she listens, about the end of the first mother verse she goes "wow, this is...actually really depressing. Pink Floyd dosn't sound like a very happy person"
Eclipse: "It's a album about the war. It wasn't all happy. But it has meaning. at least to me. My Pop served in that war." She pops that disk out, puts the Journey one in.
Amy: "I think that's why it's...so depressing. it's a war that no one learned the lesson from, because the Proseks decided to resurrect Nazism right in the middle of north america"
*right here
Eclipse: "ah..." as she's working carefully around Amy's eyes.
Amy: "Remember when I said Lazlo is defined by being open to magic and other races? the coalition states are the biggest empire that rose from the apocalypse, only after a a really really nasty war with the federation of magic, they decided to reject everything. Magic is outlawed, D-bees are treated as slaves at best or simply exterminated at worst, and all mages are suspected of consorting with dark power. the emperor makes speeches praising hitler as a genius and has embraced human supremacy as the core conceit. On the plus side, who was it in your time that said that blacks and whites will get along great as soon as aliens show up? Yea...he was prophetic"
"No more discrimination of black humans or white humans, just tons aginst non-humans"
"And as sad as I am to say it, Lazlo really is the exception, not the rule, more places are exclusive than inclusive"
Eclipse: Eclipse nods slowly. "So if not for things like dragons.. demons.. vampires... the world would probably be kind of peaceful?"
Amy: she snorts "No, Humans still find lots of reasons to fight each-other"
Eclipse: Bites her lower lip a little in thought, brings out a small brush, applying some color over Amy's eyes. and a very very small amount of blush. "Gotcha... so humans will always be humans, just now they have competition for destroying the planet and making stupid wars?" a smirk.
Amy: "and lets not forget the xenophobic bugs that are terraforming the world into something that only supports them and no other species..."
"Or the fact the four horsemen of hte apocalypse are stomping around africa trying to wipe out all life on the planet..."
Eclipse: "Gyah!?" she pulls back in shock. "W-whhaat!? Four Horsemen and all?!" she sits back on her feet. "Oh heavens help us all. I.. I'm not sure what to think about that."
Amy: "Me either, the council issued the Edict of Planetary Distress on the matter a few weeks after I left home" she says and shrugs "Apparently they are some kind of...primal demon that are individually very dangerous but when they combine can become some kind of nigh unstoppable Armageddon beast that wipe out all life on the planet in a matter of years. However, if you can believe it, the four horsemen of the apocalypse are only one of twelve major things threatening to wipe out all life on earth. and they're the easy ones. at least we know roughly where to find them and how to fight them"
Eclipse: "Oh man..." she looks Amy's face over, puts the brush away, pulls out another little bottle. "Going to put a little color on your lips. Just hold still." as she applies some color~ afterwards holds up mirror for Amy.
Amy: She gasps "Wooow"
"I look...great!" *grins*
Eclipse: "Should get Emma to teach us those handy spells.. Could have it apply all that makeup next time. and maybe look even better!" she giggles a little. "I need to do mine I guess~"
Amy: She grins* "You can sneak right? after you doll up, sneak into emma's tent and lay next to her and make her wonder why she doesn't remember you being there"
Eclipse: "I can do a little better than just sneak~ I can get Emma to doll me up in the morning. You can borrow the stereo and my collection for the night, take you back in time." she winks
Amy: She grins "Sure!" she leans in and gives Emma another hug "Thanks!"
Eclipse: Eclipse hugs back tightly. "Thanks for all this. It's nice to be able to relax around someone." she smiles, runs a hand through Amy's hair, "see ya in the morning!" and Eclipse sorta.. evaporates into mist! and flows out~
Amy: She blinks, and grins "Seeya~" she says, before she begins to dig through the music
Amy: amy dosn't know a word of japanese. she does have eyes of thoth however
Eclipse: After finishing that last bit she snaps the book closed, ties a small length of leather to close the book tight, holds onto it tightly to her chest looking out at the sky. a sniff. a little shakey inhale and she leans forward, her body, and everything she was holding/has on, turns into mist, floating away through the leaves and down to the ground, reforming there.. she wipes her eyes, seeming to recompose herself before walking back toward her Jeep to put the book away securely.
Amy: *while there, she notices Amy suddenly close behind her, smelling oddly sterile not quite, and her pheromones appear to be going nuts* "hey, there you are! you missed dinner" she says
Eclipse: "Oh! Hey Amy." she smiles kindly, stuffing the leather bound book back into a sack. "I'm uh... I haven’t been really hungry all day." she grins a little, showing those sharp teeth.
"So what did you cook up anyway? It wouldn't hurt to eat anything as long as I'm not taking away from someone." a light chuckle.
Amy: "Steak, potatoes, and apple pie." she takes a deep breath "was about to get some ice cream...but yea, forgot, you don't "eat"
Eclipse: "Oh I still eat! And Ice cream would be incredible right now really!" she grins wide. "Dude there are like a dozen awesome ice cream shops just a bit in town.. If it's not too horribly late.. even then there are some places that I can still get us some good ice cream. hmhm... and I love steaks too. preferably still bleeding."
Amy: she laughs "Actually I was going to make it with my magic toaster, it'd be another three hours to go back to town and we are leaving for canada in the morning
Eclipse: "Oh! right... that's so... Wow I didn't even think about that. I've been living without something like that far too long. but uh..." she looks Amy over briefly and leans back against the spare tire of her Jeep. the paint still wet on the rest of it. "There is just something more romantic about going out... or like... cooking? Hell just enjoying it somewhere special. You know?"
Amy: she grins "We're in a national park, maybe we can find a special place?"
Eclipse: "Yeah... I've been some crazy places in this city Amy. Nearly got caught hanging out on the antenna of the Empire State Building. Oh man... Amy you're so incredibly looking and I just... you must have a long line of people who've wanted to win your affection, huh?"
Amy: She blinks at that, and laughs and blushes at the same time, bringing her arms around her waist and hugging yourself "You'd be surprised, my track record lately has been awful"
Eclipse: "Ah.. haha.. better than mine but... well... lately has been interesting." a deep blush of her own. "eh... you want to talk about it? or just hug it out? I don't think I'd bite... yet. I am still getting used to accepting my whole nature all over again... it's really just.. boom."
Amy: She looks at her and smiles "A hug would be...fantastic, thank you" she says, opening her arms a bit
Eclipse: *Eclipse nearly jumps forward, wrapping arms around Amy, hugging tightly, having to crane her neck up to get her chin up on Amy's collar* "You're so tall hehehe"
Amy: *grins and holds her up, her hands going around her hips* "H-Hey!" she grins "your lucky i'm so strong, I almost got knocked off my feet there" she says and sighs "Anyway, Truth is I kinda just got dumped earlier this week...twice, so right now i've been kind of out of it" she grins "So that's kind of the problem. winning affection for my looks is easy. winning affection for more than that is...harder"
Eclipse: She moves her head to the side, pressing her ear against Amy's chest... right over her heart. "I did kill the first guy I really wanted a serious relationship with. and blood seems to be something that just does it for me... unfortunately. So who's butt do we need to kick for hurting you?" she squeezes into Amy, listening to her heart beating.
Amy: *shakes her head a little, though she blushes, as putting her ear aginst her heart puts her face directly aginst her breasts and she giggles a bit* "Look, I...yea. sorry for bringing up that memory" she says "But I don't want to hurt 'em, they deserve happiness I apparently just wasn't providing. It hurts, but I refuse to give into jealousy, you know? lets just go get some ice cream and find a nice place to sit and talk,eh?"
Eclipse: "okay.... Amy?" she pulls away a bit, looking up at Amy. "it may be a little bold of me to ask but... could I sleep with you? Not like... sex just.. sleep sleep." she pulls her lower lip in a little, biting it gently between her front teeth.
Amy: She blinks at that, clearly taken aback* "Ummm" she smiles "Sure" she says, the smile spreading into a grin as her hand holds her up in the hug by her hips, before leaning forward to let her down* "...why? hate sleeping alone?"
Eclipse: "I've always slept alone... and you're warm. I'm small and thin and get cold easily. I'm a Dhampir, not 'vampire'... I'm still alive so... yeah. I get cold. and you smell good." looking a little too the side at that, her cheeks glowing. "I promise to not bite.. unless you want me too." a little chuckle, looking back up to Amy, a wink.
Amy: she laughs "tell you what, let me get my ice cream and we'll see about a treat for you. you got any nice spots around here you see" *grins*
Eclipse: She nods looking around slowly, "there is a place out on a hill. Surrounded by tall bushes. Its clean, unlike some places on the beach."
Amy: "Sure" she grins and heads over to the fire, bending over to grab the toaster and head on up to the hill and sits down beside her, making a complete sunday, large enough to share*
Amy: *sits down beside her and grins, taking out a spoon and offering it* "...you know, we are on the beach, arn't you overdressed?"
Eclipse: Eclipse leans into Amy's shoulder, would take her fair share of the ice cream for sure! "This is good. Really is."
Amy: Amy smiles and provides a strong sholder, and quickly eats, although a bit messily as some of the melting cream falls on her* 'So how are you holding up? you had a lot of revelations today"
Eclipse: "I haven't had a chance to change after getting back really... So much on my mind. I keep a journal and just had to get some of it out. Is that odd?"
Amy: "No, lots of people keep journals" she grins "do you name it too?"
Eclipse: "Nah... My mom and pop used it from when I was born too. Pretty interesting looking back at that stuff sometimes. And I keep lyrics in it. Can't expect to just remember all of them."
Amy: "You write songs?"
Eclipse: "Try... Mainly just a bunch of cover songs. Still waiting for my muse."
Amy: "I'd like to hear some"
Eclipse: "Hmm... Well not sure what to pick out of the wilds really.". She sits up straight, takes a deep breath, holds it a moment. Let's it out in a huff " you put me on the spot I can't think now.". She grins sheepishly, "I promise I really do sing though. I could figure something out here in a minute."
Amy: *grins* "that's fine" *brings a spoon up to her face and licks it slowly*
Eclipse: *she takes another breath and lightly sings the chorus for pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb*
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.
"Only thing that really came to mind." She leans back over onto Amy's shoulder.
Amy: She grins, listening to her sing* "You do it well" she grins wider "say, here's some trivia for ya" she says and takes another melty bite to lick up "that song isn't about getting high like most people think. he was actually singing about how a sleazy doctor jetting him full of tranquilizers just before a show"
Eclipse: "I never thought about it. Just that chorus reminded me of stuff. Becoming numb to the crap of today's news. The wars and how the normal folk remain blissfully unaware of how things take advantage of them. Didn't know that though.". She smiles, rubbing the tip of her nose along Amy's upper arm.
Amy: she smiles a bit, feeling her nose go up, as she goes near the vein she looks down and grins* "Still hungry?"
Eclipse: "Sorta...". Eclipse smirks. " as the night goes on further I just get a little more hungry too."
Amy: She grins "Well, while I don't heal as fast as Emma does, I do heal pretty fast...and i'm curious what it's like...."
Eclipse: "Well... I'd love to let you. I could try and be gentle.". Eclipse places a hand over Amy's. Lifting it up and over, wrist up. "Depends on where too."
Amy: "...isn't it always the neck?" she asks, as you take her hand
Eclipse: "Nope. I don't know exactly how I know but.... Eh. I know the wrist is good. Not as good as the neck. And there is a place that is a little more intimate. The inner thigh.". She smiles very warmly as she mentions those.
Amy: *blinks, then grins wider* "So that's what you and Emma were doing in that tent, huh?"
Eclipse: "I was drinking from her neck. And it was pretty intimate too. She.. She's a very very interesting person. And. She.... She has very nice skills. I really shouldn't say much more than that."
Amy: she laughs "I won't pry" she says and turns her neck to the side, offering it"
Eclipse: Eclipse leans over, setting chin on Amy's shoulder. "If you're sure about it. I think it's supposed to hurt. Not feel really erotic like it does for Emma." she hums a little, inhaling Amy's scent.
Amy: "Probablly not, but I hurt every time I use magic, so pain is something i'm used to" she grins
Eclipse: "Okay. hmmm..." Eclipse rolls over toward Amy, getting on knees, straddling the blond's legs, leaning in on her. Eclipse looking right into Amy's eyes. "Lay back, I'd push you but I don't want to seem aggressive." she smiles, bumping their nose tips together briefly. "You really are amazingly beautiful Amy... I'm jealous really." a grin and a light chuckle as she pushes amy lightly to lay back.
Amy: *blinks in clear surprise when Eclipse crawls onto the leggy blonds lap, then blinks a bit as she grins* "So sitting in my lap isn't aggressive, but pushing me is? You do have interesting ideas of boundries...." she laughs, wiggling her toes as she throws her hair back, letting the tresses roll off her shoulder as her nose bumps with Eclipses* "Thank you, if you keep saying it I might even start to believe you" she says, as she lays back, letting her arms spray to the sides, her head tilting to expose her neck*
Eclipse: Eclipse lays down on top of Amy... she's the type that would weigh in at a hundred pounds if she were wearing concrete boots and were soaking wet... running her hands up Amy's sides, runs her nose up the front of her neck and chin, kisses her chin. "If I do happen to get too aggressive just toss me off, hopefully I will keep control though." she grins, moving her mouth over the right side of Amy's neck, letting her lips faintly tickle the skin, "I was so nervous when Emma let me drink from her... I couldn't think of anything but how much of a thirst I had."
Amy: She grins "Do be careful, though" she says, although Amy blushes as she feels the hands running up her sides "C--careful now" she blushes, but more at the hands at the light woman laying down atop of her, feeling hot despite herself "I'm not as durable as Emma is" she says, before chuckling despite herself
Eclipse: "and I'm not quite as thirsty as I was so... I should be a lot more gentle. I want it to be a pleasure, not torture Amy." a warm sensation as the little lady's tongue touches Amy's skin. a lingering lick. "I'm not a vampire you know... I just have fangs like one." She opens her mouth wide, setting the sharp tips onto Amy's skin, she would feel the pressure of them, a light pinch so far, just setting them in place.
Amy: Amy's heart beats faster in nervousness "...and the drinking part of one too...but I know what you mean" she says, in a shallow, breathy voice, not wanting to make any sudden moves
Eclipse: One of Eclipse's hands moves up, the fingers go through that long blond hair carefully, holding Amy's head softly, the other hand moves up Amy's chest, catching herself a feel of one of those breasts, as soon as Amy reacts to that she bites! The two top fangs piercing down deep! the two on the bottom just piercing the skin to hold herself in place, she lets out a light moan, working the teeth in deep, puncturing Amy's artery easily and letting the blood flow into the dhampir's eager mouth.
Amy: Amys body shivers softly, feeling the hand roll up--and her head tilting as the hand plays through the blonde tresses--she gasps, the nipple is clearly hard as she arches her back, just in time to feel the fangs sink in, letting out a sharp cry, fear mixed with pain and a strange pleasant sensation
Eclipse: Eclipse takes a few mouthfuls of Amy's blood, swallowing it down before stopping herself, slowly pulling the fangs out, making sure Amy is healing and isn't going to bleed uncontrollably! The tips of her top fangs hang on the skin only slight, tugging a little as they pull out. "Aaahh... that's good~" she licks at the wounds, which are hopefully healing!, cleaning the blood smear away. Wrapping her arms around Amy, sighing contently, hugging.
Amy: Amy lays there, feeling a bit odd as she groans softly, her hands reaching up slowly, to wrap around Eclipse's sholders, hugging the tiny woman as her fingers run through her hair, feeling her lift up, and yes, the puncture wounds are healing, bleeding stopping within moments as the wound closes within a minute as she shudders, her tension suddenly fading as she relaxes all over, sighing softly*
Eclipse: "Amy... was it okay? Your heart is still racing a little." she squeezes Amy in the hug a little. "be honest. I want to know."
Amy: "It was...fine' she smiles a little "It wasn't like giving blood at a blood bank, or getting cut. it was....close." she says, smiling I'll admit I wasn't expecting you to be laying on me while doing it"
Eclipse: "Well.. one part I just really like to lay like this... and I wanted to know what it was like. I always think of vampires knocking their victims down and pinning them down.. ripping into them like that. laying on top of them. I'm glad I can control myself."
Amy: She grins a bit "Not that I mind" she giggles "You really are a cuddly person arn't you?" she asks, turning her face to look into hers, her eyes distant
Eclipse: Eclipse smiles a little, looking up at Amy, nods, "I am I guess... I'm so lucky to have found people like you and Emma. I don't have to be afraid to get close. don't think I'd have to hide anything from you or her. I hope I wouldn't have to and I'd never want to hurt either of you." she lays her ear over Amy's left breast, listening to her heart.
Amy: Amy blushes again, since that puts the womans face directly over her breast as she grins* 'Thanks a lot....I'm sorry if I'm coming across as awkward, I've just....well like I said I've had a heck of a day. I'm...glad you feel so trusting of me" she says, with genuine surprise, her heart still beating fast
Eclipse: Eclipse sniffs a little, a tear falling "I'm just so happy..." she curls up a little on top of Amy. "I'm getting all misty eyed here."
Amy: *blinks, clearly unsure now* "...Wow...." she says, looking at her closely8 "You...you must have been...really lonely, huh?" she asks, holding her closely
Eclipse: "eh.. yeah. the past ten years have been rough. It wasn't all a bed of roses before that. All that can come later though.. Eclipse is what my mom and pop nicknamed me a long time ago, Amy." she smiles, wipes her eyes. "My given name isn't a big secret though.. It's Valerie. no harm in telling people that."
Amy: Amy blushes a bit "Oh, that explains...I mean yea" she grins "It's good to meet you...Valerie. but erm...actually there's a LOT of harm in telling people your given name"
Eclipse: "My so called 'true name' has been changed. it's no big deal. I still got my birth name but it's been like.. magically changed to something else. I dunno.. Sensei didn't explain how he did it."
Amy: "Oh...good" she laughs...which given she is strong enough to lift a slip like Amy with her little fingercauses Amy to promptly go bouncing up and down on her beautiful chest* "Sorry! it's just that true names were not commonly known in this era. I hear that people used to print their true names on cards they carried around with them on drivers licences. it really must make using magic on people easy, huh? all you have to do is say your classmates name before a spell"
Eclipse: She nods "Yep! I love showing people my ID. I look so young but..." she reaches into a pocket, pulling out a small billfold, opening it to her driver's license. ' Valerie K Albescu' Born March 14, 1963. "There ya go. I catch crap every time I travel somewhere new and want to buy some wine or something."
Amy: She blinks, looking at it closely, and then she suddenly grins "You're drivers licence is adorable! but wow, you really are pushing the limits of how much people'll beleive, right? Dont' vampires have to fake their deaths at some point?" she says "and yes, I know your not REALLy a vampire, but same thing for immortals in general..."
Eclipse: "Still have to obey the law... One reason I'm so happy to be away from it all with you guys." she puts the ID away, pocketing the billfold. "I'm looking forward to seeing what all there is to see. Maybe I could be a little asian girl sandwich between you and Emma." she grins sheepishly at that, blushing wildly. "God that sounds so dirty,right?" she lays her head back down on Amy's chest.
Amy: She grins a bit at that, and chuckles* "Amy...I...okay. I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I got dumped twice today. I'm not...ready to start a new relationship. and I'm really into you! You are adorable and cuddly in all the fun ways. but..." she shrugs "It's too soon. and well, Emma's my Neice, and she's not really into me that way" she says, sighing "It's nice being...close to you. it makes me think that maybe I can still find wonderful people"
"I'm not saying i'm not into you. I just...." she sighs, the pain is clear on her face
Eclipse: "It's okay Amy. We are friends, right? That's good enough and by golly that's a great thing. Being able to just lay around and enjoy the company of someone." Eclipse finally rolls over, off of Amy's chest to her left side. Props her head up with a hand. "Hey I haven’t been able to let myself go after my first breakup till here recently. Of course my first relationship was uh... it was something else."
Amy: She laughs "I'm sure" she says, leaning up "I wouldn't mind hearing about it...it might help" she smiles "heck, Emma would like to hear it too, or at least what you've been doing sinse then" she says, leaning up as she looks over, and...tentatively puts out a hand "And yes...we're friends. I would enjoy even being more than friends, maybe, but i'm just not ready for that again. I hope you arn't angry"
Eclipse: Eclipse takes the hand, firmly squeezing it, "I'm not angry Amy. Like I said... I'm happy. I'm more happy than I have been in a long long time. I'm learning to accept what I am even more too. That nagging hunger... thirst.. I've felt for near all my life is more or less gone."
Amy: She smiles* "Thank you. For..." she blushes "for being so...interested in me" she says and looks down, shyly
Eclipse: "eh... thank you for being cool with the crazy stuff I do?" she chuckles a little. "and thank you for letting me uh.. sample you. It's a really interesting feeling. Not a rush... or any kind of sudden fullfilment. I don't know how to describe it."
Amy: "Hey, if you enjoy it, I won't mind doing it again. although" she grins "You should ask emma more, she enjoys it far...FAR more than I do" *giggles*
Eclipse: "Oh! I know! w-wwoow. That.. woo! That! was awesome. I was able to just drink and drink and drink until I was completely satisfied!." she rolls over onto her back, looking up at the sky, licks her lips. "but I am worried about one thing."
Amy: "What's that?"
Eclipse: "The Kathy girl. a slave person.. she doesn't seem like any slave I could think of but more like some... submissive pet. I'm kind of worried about what she thinks of Emma and what Emma thinks of her and what she might think about me and Emma and if she sees me uh.. feeding? on Emma."
Amy: she laughs a bit "I...oh" she says, stopping and looking away sheepishly "Sorry! it's not, I wasn't laughing AT you, but the thought..." she sighs "Look, I am psychic and I was reading Kathy's emotions closely. she has no emotional attachment whatsoever. in fact she's not really submissive so much as she is...broken" she says, shrugs "All hint of defiance was beaten out of her with magical torment. she'll do what she's told. her opinion on Emma is as neutral as can be. we killed her previous mistress, so now she'll obey a new one. in fact she'll need a great deal of psycological help in order to actually feel anything for emma besides general mistrust"
"What she really needs is a good psycologist, unfortunately we have to leave this time so we'll have to do"
Eclipse: "Oh. Okay. So that's cool... She'd just learn that me and Emma cuddling and blood trickling down a little while we both make funny moaning noises to be completely normal." she bites her lower lip a little, looking up at the sky.
Amy: *and now...using empathy on Eclipse!*
Eclipse: Eclipse is Euphoric! the thoughts of feeding from Emma giving her very warm and fuzzy feelings as well. Her body shudders a little. Anticipation of doing it again, the same feeling a drug addict may have. Hopefully without the negative aspects of it.
Amy: she chuckles "You know, Emma would probablly let you sleep in her tent if you go and ask her" she grins
Eclipse: She grins wide at that. embarrassment, an akward feeling at the same time. "a-about that.. I uh.. don't want to accidentally bite her and.. well.. there is something to do with the way she works and how her reproductive... stuff.. in general works."
Amy: "She told me, that only happens if your blood gets into her, not the other way around. unless you bite yourself there's no risk...and she reguarlly uses a contraception spell that lasts for days to negate it, so there's no worry..."
Eclipse: "uhyeah... I accidentally cut my tongue kinda often and if I were to bite her in my sleep...."
Amy: "that's what the spell is for, silly, there's no risk"
Eclipse: Eclipse nods, looking Amy over again. "So... Amy? You don't wear any makeup or anything. You ever tried it? Even painting your nails up all pretty?"
Amy: *grins* "Umm...No, I don't, why? Well, I have some lip gloss I use now and then, mostly just because I was going through the desert and didn't want them to dry up"
Eclipse: "I have my makeup in my stuff bag. Could be fun to get all prettied up for no other reason than to see what happens. C'mon, it'll make ya feel better maybe too." she grins, getting to her feet, offering Amy a hand to stand.
Amy: She laughs "Don't we need light for that?" *grins and follows*
Eclipse: "Light? Oh! Right. I'm sure you we can find something.... I uh.. hehe When the lights go out I tend to see even better. but yeah... I used to paint my nails all the time in school. Having black nails was getting me entirely too much attention, from my fellow students as well as from teachers. It was not cool, not cool at all." walking back to camp now, making sure we leave nothing behind.
Amy: sheshrugs "could go into a tent and cast globe of daylight' *grins*
Eclipse: "Yeah! I really never had reason to learn that... New York is usually always lit up in some way and I can see in the dark so well. Should probably learn it just to know it some time. C'mon!" she breaks into a brisk run to get back. Sorta testing to see how fast Amy might be! Eclipse is fast for human standards.
Amy: Amy races after, fast, but not as fast as she is, although when she stops at the tent, a certain...part of her is still moving in the bikini enthusiastically
Eclipse: Eclipse laughs at that! "damn girl! Keep those things under control. Aah..." she giggles, going through her bag "I was cursed with the asian gene of having a small chest, I swear. Or they just never quite grew past 16, either way~" she pulls out what looks like a pink tackle box. "Alright, got it."
Amy: "hey now, its not so bad" she says, crawling in and casting globe of daylight, which goes up to rest aginst the tent roof 'having ones like these on your frame would be...awkward. Honestly, I think your chest goes great with your frame" she grins
Eclipse: "Thanks for that." she smiles, sitting on the floor of the tent and setting the box down, opening it up, it opens much like a tackle box too... tiered shelves and pockets. she hums thoughtfully looking Amy over. "maaan.... so what of color. you have any favorite colors?"
*also pulls the tail holders from her hair, letting it all hang loose*
Amy: "...wow, what are they all for?" she asks, curious as she leans in, picking up a random color "Uh....blue and green are my favorites"
Eclipse: Eclipse nods "It's a lot of general face paint stuff here too... I get a little dressed up on stage with making my skin even more! pale and darking out around my eyes. black lipstick. You do have some very blue eyes so maybe you'd like to bring some more attention to them."
Eclipse pulls a mirror out to show Amy herself. "Can put some eyeliner around your eyes and a complimentary color to really help them shine I think."
Amy: She grins "Well, i'm not sure what to add...eyeliner might help and uh...I think a bit of blush? or darker eyelashes?" she asks, trying to remember what usually goes with what*
Eclipse: She nods a little. "We can experiment with stuff. Show me your hands, let's see what you have for fingernails." sets the mirror down and holds her hands out for Amy's.
Amy: She nods and holds them out. Trimmed neatly and regularly, clearly "...I'm a mechanic, I keep them trim as a safety hazard"
Eclipse: "Okay... they are nice though. greens... blues." she ponders it over a moment. "Why the heck not..." relinquishing Amy's hands to pull out a jar of some glittery nail polish. "The smell of this stuff can be kind of strong so... you can open a window or something for sure." she grins sheepishly, opening the container to give Amy a sample of the smell. "I kinda like it personally."
Amy: She laughs "We spend a lot of time outdoors or in a panel van, windows are easy"
Eclipse: "Well it's mainly just applying it. once it's dry everything's fine." she takes Amy's left hand, sets it on her own Thigh with fingers straight. "now the only bad thing is that that cleaning spell might wipe it right off. think it did my own everything. Guess that's what that makeover spell is good for too." she smirks a little, applying some of the polish to Amy's index finger, careful slow strokes of the little brush, leaving a trail of sparkling green.
Amy: She grins "Yea, we really need to ask Emma during a spelling bee"
"It looks kinda pretty..." she frowns "does grease make it run?"
Eclipse: "Nah. once it's hard it should stick on pretty good. unless grease has acetone in it." she looks to Amy questioningly.
Amy: "No, but it is used to clean metals prior to welding or painting" she grins "It's a great industrial cleaner"
Eclipse: "shit... that's going to be a problem, huh?" she cringes. "You don't wear gloves while you're doing that, huh?"
Amy: she laughs "Hello, welding and painting! you better believe I wear gloves. and gas masks and goggles"
Eclipse: "Hey hey, I don't know much of anything about that other than it's cool." she chuckles, looks at the completely painted nail. "It is pretty though." she blows gently on the nail to help speed it's drying.
Amy: She grins and wiggles her fingers
Eclipse: "Screwit I'm painting them all. I hardly ever get to paint someone else's nails." she grins, painting each one. "So what was your childhood like? What kind of crazy place did you grow up?"
Amy: "Lazlo" she laughs "It's....uhh...well it's kind of built where Toranto used to be and crazy is the right word for it!"
"It's kind of a long story"
Eclipse: She nods a little. "So future stuff I might learn about first hand, right? Anything really stand out while you were there? Something happening to you."
Amy: "she laughs "I have to explain the place so you can understand the crazy stuff. otherwise i'd just be naming things and places you have no concept of"
Eclipse: "Alright. give me a run down?"
Amy: "Well, the easy parts are that the city was founded when a bunch of new mages who wanted to mix magic and technology got tired of traditional mages telling them they're crazy and went to an abandoned but ley line heavy city to do R&D on their own. the city just....kind of grew from there, from a small guild of wizards looking for a place to study in peace to one of hte biggest cities on the planet once techno-wizardy took off as a fantastic idea and a lucrative business. it's basically run by the council of learning...which is kind of descendant from the original techno-wizards organization but applied to government of the growing city as a whole, and lower house congress that acts kind of like a bicameral legislature. the head of the council is Plato, who is actually an ancient dragon. he disguised himself as just another wizard in the beginning, but when another dragon tired to claim the new city as part of it's domain Lazlo shifted and threw him out. after that..." he shrugs "well he's a really nice guy so we kept electing him. as long you remember he is a dragon. he has a great deal of patience for his kind, but no one wants to push him too far"
Eclipse: She pauses after a stroke at the mention of DRAGON. She blinks, seeming to be a little shocked at hearing that. "dragons? like real dragons? really really real.. like fire breathing scaly big mean dragon... they're real!?"
Amy: "Oh, absolutely. and yes, he absolutely looks just like the classical pictures of western dragons, fire breathing and all that. what they don't tell you is that all dragons are natural shapeshifters, so they usually go around as humans or animals when they don't want to draw attention. generally speaking, if a dragon actually shows up in full dragon size, they are either too young to shapeshift for long, or you done fucked up--big time" she laughs
Eclipse: "what do you think the chances are of meeting a dragon? like normally? maybe here on this world?" she slowly continues painting Amy's nails. "B-but please do continue."
Amy: "Shapeshifters, remember? for all you know you have met one and you didn't know it" she grins "But in this time, very very low, the magic levels are too low to appeal to them and they'd be really really sleepy. most just left earth as magic faded. if we get to the future? Much higher. Earth after the apocalypse is chock full of magic which is very appealing to dragons, there are usually a few dragons in every major city, not to mention ones hanging out in rural lairs, or hiding among smaller populations...and then there's Freehold which is a city founded and ruled by about a hundred or so dragons run by a council of ancient dragons who call themselves the dragon kings...." she shrugs "Basically Dragon Hunting is a viable career choice in the future, albeit one with an extremely high fatality rate"
"Also ethical problems. the truth is dragons tend to run the moral spectrum the same as humans do. you have plato is a saint for humans let alone dragons, and plenty of selfish and villanious ones extorting small communities for tribute and virgins"
Eclipse: "Haha yeah? Wow... I just never really thought about it. That'll help me prepare for the time when I really do come face to face with one... I hope." she nods, admiring a few more of the nails painted. "So now that I have the background.."
Amy: *Shrugs* "Basically, and I'm not trying to sound bragging, but Lazlo is pretty much defined by it's inclusiveness to all races and creeds. and I don't mean black or asians or hispanic. I mean simvian and rahu-men and elves and dwarves and grackle-tooths and vanguard brawlers and quick-flex and ixion and greeots and Noli devil men and...." she grins
Eclipse: "Yeah that's freakin impressive. It's like America but with even more... variety! and less hate. Jeeze... You seem to know your history pretty good Amy. I grew up in the late 60's through the early mid 70's. I'm Asian... sorta... mostly? I've got funny teeth, I'm short! and my nails are really weird. You might be able to imagine the shit I went through in school. Sounds like I would have loved to have grew up where you lived."
Amy: "I read a library a few days ago. you have no idea how valuble it was. you know pre-rifts history has been almost completely lost? your book collection will be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. no. seriously. if you raid a bookstore before we leave we'll be filthy fucking rich"
"Well, it would be if we could prove it's all authentic. but any pre-rifts book has some market value"
Eclipse: "Really? dude I've got a set of encyclopaedia." she grins. "But there's a lot of cool stuff in there too... Can't always go out to the library after all."
Amy: She grins "Yup!"
"Anyway, don't get the wrong idea, it's not like mos eisely or star wars where there'll only be a handful of humans in most scenes, humans are the majority population in the city, we just make it a point to be nice to all the people who aren't human"
"and me? well, Techno-Wizardy is kind of the city's main art and income. licenced member of the center of learning"
Eclipse: "Ah... That's cool, that's coool! So the whole picking on geeks thing doesn't really happen there...?"
Amy: She laughs "People who think techno-wizards are helpless nerds get over it when they see what we can do"
Eclipse: "Ah... yeah I'm thinking I would have had a lot better childhood there than here." she smiles a little. "Almost done with the nails."
Amy: "Probablly, vampires have a really bad reputation, like, really bad, but you walk around in the day so you'd get a pass"
Eclipse: "Right. That's good at least. So I'd still possibly get a few strange looks..." she blows on the last nail. "They're still not completely dry but they are painted at least."
Amy: "Hrm..." she makes a face "Dosn't really match my skin I don't think....sorry, can we try another color?"
Eclipse: Eclipse nods, pondering. "Want to try a blue? maybe the glitter isn't doing it for you. heh.. want to try black?" she smirks, showing her own black nails. "I actually have a polish in here that can almost make my nails look normal... still dark though."
Amy: she grins "Black is a bit of a stark contrast...lets try blue without the glitter?"
Eclipse: She nods, pulls out a bottle of nail polish remover... pauses a moment. "Try and cast that cleaning magic... see if it pulls the polish off."
Amy: *Casts Clense, It only cleans off what the caster would consider "unclean" So yes.*
Eclipse: *she puts the bottle of acetone away! digging through till she finds her simple blue polish* "Surprised I have some that's not all glittery."
Amy: "...Glitter Girl, huh?" she asys, grinning madly as if some kind of joke
Eclipse: "Yeah! I like glittery stuff. Sometimes put a little shimmer on the skin too."
Amy: She laughs loudly
Eclipse: "Huh?" she blinks, "did I just miss something?"
Amy: "Sorry. Glitter boys and glitter girls are a kind of really shiny laser-resistant power armor" she grins
Eclipse: "Oh! That sounds pretty awesome. Armors? Like knights and stuff. but I imagine more.. future-stuff." a light chuckle as she repaints the nails.
Amy: "Oh there's all kinds of armor designs. glitter boy is...unique. glitter girl is a glitter boy with boobs...don't ask" she grins "There's armor that looks kind of light knights, armor that looks like cheep plastic crap, armor that looks like chainmail, armor that looks like composite stuff...armor is a pretty fucking big industry"
Eclipse: "So with that in mind there must be a lot of things that want to eat people there?"
Amy: "oooh yea. and bandits and stuff. I mean, small missile launchers and laser guns and giant robots are around, so unarmoed people don't last long outside of civilized areas. there's towns and villages where a few thugs with laser guns and big armor can walk into a small village and more or less declare themselves king, or mages..." she grins "that's why my mother risked her life to go to lazlo, there's a lot of danger everywhere'
Eclipse: "Oh man... that's really sucky. So there are bad points of living on that world too... like having to live within the walls of a city if you want to avoid dangers sort of stuff..."
Amy: she nods "That's why the burbs...long story. lets just say people will go to ridiculous lengths for safety. remember when I said you had evil dragons extracting tribute from small towns near their lair? that's actually not a bad deal, dragons tend to keep demons and monsters from their domain, so as long as you can pay you're relatively safe...." she sighs "A whole lot of places pay villains for safety for the sake of keeping out greater evils or at least perceived greater evils"
"And then you have groups like the tundra rangers and cyber knights who are basically...well, knights, they go around killing monsters and protecting villages and towns who don't have the technology or magic to keep monsters away themselves. or they try to at least. and the demons..." she rolls her eyes "Yea, demons are real too, Calgary is called the city of monsters now. it's ruled by demons"
Eclipse: "Well.. I know vampires and ghouls and undead things are real so... demons aren't too far fetched to me." she grins. "So back to your childhood though... anything in particular that stood out to you?"
Amy: "Bleeding from my eyes the first time I cast globe of daylight?" *she laughs "That kind of brought class to a standstill"
Eclipse: "Woah! Yeah! That would freak out everyone for sure!" she laughs, capping the bottle
Amy: She grins "Now THAT'S more my style~" she holds them up and grins, spreading her hands out to show them off*
Eclipse: "Goood good!" she smiles, quite proud of herself. "Now see what we can do with those eyes of yours, hmm?" she puts the polish away, pulling out some eye-liner pens and some other powder makeup.
Amy: "Any standout events from your childhood?" she asks, leaning in "remember, I still don't know all that much about your culture"
Eclipse: "Oh.. well.. aside from the constant reminder from my peers that I'm different? Seems like my life got a lot better after I killed my first boyfriend." she sighs at that. "Umm.. I think it was in 80. Mom and Pop took me to see a Pink Floyd concert. they were doing their Wall tour. I attended every day of the concerts. their second half I was sitting up in the ceiling beams. They never caught me and I had an awesome seat from up there."
Amy: "...who's Pink Floyd. and why were they touring on city walls?"
Eclipse: "Oh... Pink Floyd is a band. a music group. and the significance of the wall is from the Second World War. the wall that separated East and West Germany. I don't really get the connection. I just love the music and the show, lots of laser lights and smoke."
Amy: "But world war 2 was in the fourties, you said it was the eighties"
Eclipse: "The songs are being played in the 80's and beyond. Amy if they had even tried to play anything in Germany at that time they'd be shot on sight..."
"Ugh... Tell ya what I have the CD's of the music if you can hold on. Just have to pull out my speakers and box. make sure I have batteries..." she gets up, heading out for a moment.
Amy: She grins and lets her, honestly curious
Eclipse: Eclipse comes back with a rather large boombox that has a CD player! and a hard case, she sets the stereo down, opens the top and puts in a disk, closing it carefully and hitting a button to turn the thing on and it plays~ www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr5AJJuzO8A&list=PL851070FBC86C544C
"These things are incredible. no tape to get eaten up. no vinyl to get gouged. just a little laser that reads stuff on the shiny side of the disk. you've seen these before? Being from the future I'd think you have." holding up a CD, the cover has what looks like a Scarab with wings on it and the word 'Journey' on it.
Amy: She listens to the first bit with a look that you might have if you were trying to judge music from the 20's, recognising the artistry but sounding so strange she's not sure what to think "It's....different from anything i've heard before" she says to the end, glancing at the CD's and snorts "Yea, they'll be obsolete in 20 years...no, seriously, they will be, they'll be replaced with handheld devices with more processing power and graphical fidelity than your university's mainframe"
"I'd show you my version and my music collection, but...." she gestures to the no-pockets on her bikini "I'd need you to grab my jacket"
"But wait...is that...Journey?" she says, reaching out and grabbing the album suddenly, taking a closer look
Eclipse: "Alright. uh.. Yeah. It is."
Amy: "I've heard half of "Don't stop beliving". just half, that's all that was left I could salvage from the drive. I always wanted to hear the rest..." *turns the box over to see if it's on it"
Eclipse: "don't.. think so." she opens the hard case again, flicking through the CD cases, "Here it is. It's on the Escape album." and she hands it to Amy, taking the one she has back.
Amy: "...yes it is! it's the first track!"
Eclipse: *nods* "I guess You'd want to play that one now, huh? After this song..." as 'Mother' starts playing. "now face me and see if I can get a plan on these peepers of yours."
Amy: She nods and listens as Eclipse works
Eclipse: And Eclipse sings along with it softly.
Amy: Amy...frowns a bit, more as she listens, about the end of the first mother verse she goes "wow, this is...actually really depressing. Pink Floyd dosn't sound like a very happy person"
Eclipse: "It's a album about the war. It wasn't all happy. But it has meaning. at least to me. My Pop served in that war." She pops that disk out, puts the Journey one in.
Amy: "I think that's why it's...so depressing. it's a war that no one learned the lesson from, because the Proseks decided to resurrect Nazism right in the middle of north america"
*right here
Eclipse: "ah..." as she's working carefully around Amy's eyes.
Amy: "Remember when I said Lazlo is defined by being open to magic and other races? the coalition states are the biggest empire that rose from the apocalypse, only after a a really really nasty war with the federation of magic, they decided to reject everything. Magic is outlawed, D-bees are treated as slaves at best or simply exterminated at worst, and all mages are suspected of consorting with dark power. the emperor makes speeches praising hitler as a genius and has embraced human supremacy as the core conceit. On the plus side, who was it in your time that said that blacks and whites will get along great as soon as aliens show up? Yea...he was prophetic"
"No more discrimination of black humans or white humans, just tons aginst non-humans"
"And as sad as I am to say it, Lazlo really is the exception, not the rule, more places are exclusive than inclusive"
Eclipse: Eclipse nods slowly. "So if not for things like dragons.. demons.. vampires... the world would probably be kind of peaceful?"
Amy: she snorts "No, Humans still find lots of reasons to fight each-other"
Eclipse: Bites her lower lip a little in thought, brings out a small brush, applying some color over Amy's eyes. and a very very small amount of blush. "Gotcha... so humans will always be humans, just now they have competition for destroying the planet and making stupid wars?" a smirk.
Amy: "and lets not forget the xenophobic bugs that are terraforming the world into something that only supports them and no other species..."
"Or the fact the four horsemen of hte apocalypse are stomping around africa trying to wipe out all life on the planet..."
Eclipse: "Gyah!?" she pulls back in shock. "W-whhaat!? Four Horsemen and all?!" she sits back on her feet. "Oh heavens help us all. I.. I'm not sure what to think about that."
Amy: "Me either, the council issued the Edict of Planetary Distress on the matter a few weeks after I left home" she says and shrugs "Apparently they are some kind of...primal demon that are individually very dangerous but when they combine can become some kind of nigh unstoppable Armageddon beast that wipe out all life on the planet in a matter of years. However, if you can believe it, the four horsemen of the apocalypse are only one of twelve major things threatening to wipe out all life on earth. and they're the easy ones. at least we know roughly where to find them and how to fight them"
Eclipse: "Oh man..." she looks Amy's face over, puts the brush away, pulls out another little bottle. "Going to put a little color on your lips. Just hold still." as she applies some color~ afterwards holds up mirror for Amy.
Amy: She gasps "Wooow"
"I look...great!" *grins*
Eclipse: "Should get Emma to teach us those handy spells.. Could have it apply all that makeup next time. and maybe look even better!" she giggles a little. "I need to do mine I guess~"
Amy: She grins* "You can sneak right? after you doll up, sneak into emma's tent and lay next to her and make her wonder why she doesn't remember you being there"
Eclipse: "I can do a little better than just sneak~ I can get Emma to doll me up in the morning. You can borrow the stereo and my collection for the night, take you back in time." she winks
Amy: She grins "Sure!" she leans in and gives Emma another hug "Thanks!"
Eclipse: Eclipse hugs back tightly. "Thanks for all this. It's nice to be able to relax around someone." she smiles, runs a hand through Amy's hair, "see ya in the morning!" and Eclipse sorta.. evaporates into mist! and flows out~
Amy: She blinks, and grins "Seeya~" she says, before she begins to dig through the music
