The House Of Immortality

[Wolfsoul]

*Is a bit shocked by the sudden kiss but quickly regains composure, her hands on Trent's shoulders.* I'm ok, just tired, really. How're you? Low battery? Already? DX

[rae]

good. really good. *smiles and kisses her again, this time for a bit longer* sorry... i've just missed doing this.

[Wolfsoul]

O...k... We're not gonna end up like your parents, are we? *Looks over to Joshua and Mandie.* They look on the verge of mak- actually, no, they look on the verge of fading.

Argh! I gonna be ill for Christmas! DX Stupid cough!

[rae]

*looks over at his mom and dad and wrinkles his nose* please don't say that... *takes Abby's hand and pulls her into the kitchen to get away from seeing his parents making out* i think that's enough of that for now. watching them, i mean. it makes me uncomfortable.

[Wolfsoul]

Yeah, I know what you mean. *Raises a hand and slowly brushes it through Trent's hair.* I don't know why it's uncomfortable, though, I mean, we do the same thing, right? Or did, anyway. Not the fading stuff, obviously; we didn't do that.

[rae]

*smirks* we could change that. *figures that would get a bad reaction and laughs* kidding. kidding. only when you want to.

[Wolfsoul]

*Smacks Trent in the head.* At the rate you're going it'll be never -_-

[rae]

owww. *rubs his head where she had hit him and frowned* i was just kidding. i wouldn't make you do anything that makes you uncomfortable or something.

[Wolfsoul]

Good. Besides, we've only just started dating again, it's far to soon to do anything like that. *Rests her head on Trent's shoulder.* I don't want to rush back into things, I want to take things slowly, ok?

Watching Tinkerbell And The Great Fairy Rescue because I'm just that lame XD Heeey! We're not lame! You're only watching watching it because Sora's watching it, though. *Looks down at Sora who's entranced by the film.* Sure, that's totally the only reason why I'm watching it. Hehehe. I, on the other hand, am just a giant kid... And I actually like Tinkerbell...

[rae]

right. that's okay. *runs his fingers through her hair and smiles a liytle* I'm glad you're back.

[Wolfsoul]

Mhmm. I just hope it's not ruined by the family from hell -_- *Sighs and pulls back.* Wanna come hunting with me? We can go to bed afterwards too.

[rae]

sure. *smiles a little* I'm good, but I'll come with you.

[Wolfsoul]

Ok, just try not to get in my way, ok? I'm quite the lethal hunter and you don't want to get on my bad side while I'm hunting. *Takes Trent's hand and leads him outside, heading towards town.*

Awww! Tinkerbell made a human friend! X3

[Wolfsoul]

I both loved and hated Kyle's PJs, loved because it completely ruined his manliness - apart from the manly beard he had, which was scratchy but sooo hot! - but hated it because he was wearing a cat! A cat! Dogs ruled and cats drooled, Kyle knew that so why did he buy pink cat PJs... even so, the lack of manliness totally outweighed the fact that they were cat pyjamas! Kyle looked so cute and girly! I giggled and sat up, pressing a kiss to my boyfriend's cheek. "Loving the pyjamas, Kylie Kyle. Very masculine. " I laughed even more before getting up and stretching my limbs, preparing to go downstairs in my pretty normal flannel stars pyjamas, although Kyle should probably put on something else... "Are you gonna change before we go downstairs or not?" I don't think I would've been able to act seductive if he was wearing girly PJs, I'd be laughing too much! But also, maybe I could turn this into an oppurtunity, I mean, part of doing adulty things was, like, undressing each other, right? ... No nononono! I couldn't say that! I could already feel myself blushing at my own thoughts and decided to tweak what I was original gonna say, leaning in close to my future fiance - even that sounded awsome! Just as awesome as 'Future husband'! "If you're too sleepy, I can take off your t-shirt for you. Think of it as returning the favour for when you took my dress off after Dayna's wedding." The wink! Don't forget the wink! I winked flirtatiously at Kyle, although with the blushing and the fact that I reeeeaaaally wanted to start giggling, I doubted it'd work.

Was he awake already or did I wake him up? If I woke him up, woopsies, although I doubted a guy could shudder like that when he was half asleep... He did sound tired, though, and I mentally kicked myself for being tired every day since last Sunday. Ok, today I was gonna make it up to him, I didn't know how but I was gonna make it happen! "Good morning sleepy head." I smiled, leaning over him just so that I could kiss his cheek and sing, "6 more sleeps to go, 6more sleeps 'til Santa, 6 more sleeps don't know therestofthesong 'cause it's reallyreally long and I'll prob'lygetit wrong, 6 more sleep 'til Santa!" I had to take a moment to get my breath back, then laughed at my epic fail rendition of the song, lying on my back again and tracing Tyler's spine with my fingertips again. "And it's 9 more sleeps 'til your birthday, too, but no one really cares about that." That was a joke, by the way, I am not and will never be so mean as to not care about my husband's birthday. "So, what've you got me for your birthday?" I hated surprises, I just wanted to know what I was gonna get! Besides, if Tyler got me something really nice, I still had time to exchange his presents for nicer ones!

Oh c***! I walked right into that one! And now Blake was going to make a mean comment on my epic fail of a job idea! Squeezing Alix a little as leaned into me, I bit my lip as I tried to think of what to say. "Uhhh... Well... I'm not very smart, so I'll never get a really good job that pays a lot, so I'm really just looking for a a job that pays well enough to provide for my family and then a little extra cash that I can save up and use on special things." I could feel my palms getting sweaty from the nerves and wiped the hand that wasn't wrapped around Alix onto my jeans as casually as I could. "Preferably I'd like to work in a games store or music store so that I can at least enjoy my job a little and so that I put my knowledge of games and music into good use, and I actually think the games store is hiring, so I might try and get the job there." Well, they always said that honestly was the best policy, but I felt like being honest this time was just gonna cause a lot of insults. At least I expected it and, therefore, was an incy wincy bit mentally prepared.

My proposal plan was going smoothly so far. Hope, Bentley and Arthur were all sleeping peacefully - for now - and Kiara was spending time with Kodi, obviously, so for once Ryan and I had some time to ourselves. I took advantage of it quickly, settig up a little picnic in front of the living room fireplace, where I vaguely recalled sharing our first kiss and confessing our feelings, and playing romantic music in the background. Along with our picnic, mostly consisting of cheese and biscuits and cake and mince pies - it was christmas, afterall - was a bottle of white wine, as well as a bottle of lemonade to dilute Ryan's wine since she was technically underaged. We were both quite happy to snuggle into each other and share plenty of kisses under the mistletoe but I then heard the song 'When You Say Nothing At All' begin to play. That was my cue to propose. Drawing out the final kiss, I reluctantly pulled away, taking a deep breath to try and rid myself of nerves before whispering in my love's ear, "May I give you your chrismas present early, Ryan?"

Kodi and I had kissed and made up, thank goodness. I never wanted to get into an arguement like that, and I learnt now that I really needed to trust Kodi, that he wasn't going to leave me like my mother did, or Dylan for that matter, and Kodi had learnt to always leave a note before he was to disappear, otherwise I would freak out and think the worst. We were lying in bed together right now, me in my pjs and Kodi in his boxers. We were supposed to be sleeping, but I couldn't sleep, I had too much on my mind. The fact that in our previous attempt at fading, I chickened out, was one thing on my mind, as I really wanted to be brave and try again, but didn't know how to approach the subject. Another thing on my mind was the promise ring. I had retrieved it from the ground and washed it off after we made up and now it was back on my right hand where it belonged but... I don't know... I just wondered when Kodi was going to propose, or if he ever would propose. I was probably being ridiculous because I was only 21 physically, and only 3 biologically but... I felt that we acted like a married couple already, so why not make it official. No kids yet, though. I loved kids and knew I'd be a good mom, but when you spent your childhood acting like a mom, you just want at least a couple years of freedom away from being a mother and, if possible, a chance to get your childhood back...

Vincent wasn't one to really celebrate christmas. Sure he would enjoy a glass of mulled wine, as he was doing right now, and would partake in the exchanging of gifts but he just didn't get excited about it like the rest of his family, which was why, as they watched a movie and the Beast's little family put their own personal decorations on the tree, Vincent paid very little attention. He hugged his wife closer to him as she held their youngest son in her lap, hiding a smile behind his cape. "Perhaps after this movie we could do something more entertaining." Vincent suggested in a whisper.

The kids - besides Zidane - were outside playing in the snow, which meant that it was time to hurriedly wrap presents before they came back in. I wasn't really good at wrapping present, but Zidane had started calling for his mother so Tifa had to leave me to do it and, well, after a fight with the sticky tape, half of the wrapping paper on the current present was ripped and the rest was just really badly done. Oh gosh, I hoped Tifa would come back soon, even if she had to bring our son with her! She was better at wrapping than I was.

It was christmas in a couple days! I was actually kinda excited, but I still hadn't got anything for mum and dad and I was panicking a little! There was only one thing to do! Climbing down from the top bunk, I started shaking TJ in an attempt to wake him up. "TJ, wake up!" I heard a groan which meant that he was awake so I grinned. "TJ, can we go to town and pick out some presents from mum and dad? Please?" And maybe we could even go to the library to research the 1960's, because our performance was only 3 weeks away!

Well, KJ had been ecstatic to hear that she was going to have two siblings, not one. It had taken me and Dayna a little bit longer to relax about it but now we were fine-ish, just worried about two crying babies, but if that ever happened Dayna could just calm down one while I calmed down the other. It was nightime now, and I was watching Elf with Kara-Jayne while Dayna washed the dinner dishes and got us some apple pie for dessert - I had offered to help but she brushed it off. I smirked as Buddy the elf tried to start a tickle fight with his boring dad, then decided to do the same to KJ, just for fun. "Tickle fight! Tickle fight!" I exclaimed as I started tickling KJ, smiling at her laughter. We must've freaked out Rascal with our antics because now the german shepard was barking at us and trying to jump up onto the sofa but oh well, I was too busy having fun with my daughter.

Christmas time at the Valentine household and the Galian Beast was once again being reckless. Well, not reckless, just putting his wife and unborn baby in danger. In his defense, he was strong enough to have a pregnant woman on his shoulder and he would never ever dare to drop Darkess, but pregnancy meant that Darkess wasn't able to balance as well and even with Galian holding firmly onto her, she was rather wobbly. "Come on, wifey! Put decoration on the tree!" Darkess' decoration had to be the highest because she was the woman and the woman was the most important. That was Galian's logic, anyway.

I had returned from town with a wrapped up gift for Daniel. I did not buy him much, simply a silver plaque with a slightly modified quote engraved onto it, but I hoped he liked it. Heading up to his room- which I knew from the new sign I had recently put up, indicating which room everyone was in - I took a deep breath and knocked on door, hoping that Daniel was in and that he would answer.

Marlene and Claire had run off to find the other kids for a snowball fight or something, leaving me and Sierra to just walk around Edge in the snow. Well... Until I slipped up on ice and fell face-first into the freezing snow. Rolling over onto my back, I began moving my arms and legs and laughed a little."Hey, Sierra, wanna make a snow angel with me?" I asked my girlfriend as I grinned up at her. I wasn't really fussed about cars running me over of anything because there was way too much snow for cars.

Waking up to sharp claws digging into my chest was not my idea of fun. At all. I jumped awake and pushed Yuki off that she fell off of the bed and onto the floor with a 'Thud!'. And then the angry yowling started and I groaned, burying my head into Sammi's neck. The cat didn't shut up though so, reluctantly, I clambered out of bed. "I'm sorry, ok? I didn't mean it." I mumbled, pulling a box out from under the bed and opening it. "Here, have your christmas present early and leave me alone." Attaching the light-up christmas collar around Yuki's neck, I climbed back into bed with Sammi, snuggling in and murmuring, "I swear your cat's gonna be the death of me, babe."

"That sounds like a great idea." I grinned, leaning back in Sam's arm as a hand raised to caress his bearded jaw. "A run in the snow should be really fun." I loved running in the snow! I used to do it all the time whenever there was snow at home and, strangely, I loved being covered in snow! "But yeah, tree first. Tree is probably more important right now since Christmas is around the corner." Smiling softly, I kissed Sam's cheek, then returned to decorating the tree.

Ok, guilt-tripping Dilynn had been completely and totally worth it, because I actually really enjoyed the kisses to my chest and jaw, maybe a bit too much. For a brief second I looked over to Spencer who was trying to use his puppy-dog eyes on my girlfriend even though she was facing away from him, and gave the dog a smug smile. 'My girlfriend, go get your own girlfriend to give you attention.' I thought, wishing that Spencer could read minds, before snapping my attention back to Dilynn. "I guess you have a point there, Darlin' but..." I bent my knees, lowering myself to Dilynn's level and looking in her amazing hazel eyes. "What if I lowered myself to this level? Is this helpful?" Or I could buy her some platform shoes so that she was closer to my height... Or if Spencer wasn't here we could use the dang bed! I mean, seriously, he was pretty big for a bloodhound and took up most of the bed!

"I'm Thorn. Thorn Valentine." I introduced myself to the strangely muscular Austin with a shake of his hand, allowing myself to relax since it honestly seemed as if everything was ok now and the only one fussing was me. "And I don't think that magic is cooler... Ok, perhaps some aspects are cooler, but vampires have speed, strength, everlasting youth. I bet loads of mortal creatures would love to stay young forever and you can. That is rather cool." I myself was one of the ones who did not like immortality, for the sake of the fact that I'd rather not watch everyone I love die, but if I could die looking young but actually being rather old, now that would be something I would like a lot.

Once I changed into my PJ's, which were a little too small for me - all my clothes were, I hadn't been able to afford new ones -, I brushed my teeth and washed my face, even brushing my hair a little in an attempt to calm it's crazed look. Brushing it didn't seen to tame the mess though so eventually I gave up. After making sure that the lid to the toilet was down - I didn't want Jupiter jumping in there at any point during the night, or ever, actually -I exited the bathroom, quickly unpacking the majorly important stuff and keeping the rest in my backpack. I hadn't taken all my clothes with me when I ran away so at one point I'd have to retrieve the rest of my stuff from my old room... Or get Trent to do it so that I could avoid ripping my brother's head off. Anyway, I headed into Trent's room without even bothering to knock, Jupiter running after me as I climbed into Trent's bed, preparing myself for sleep, or at least some casual conversation until I fell asleep, starting with, "What did everyone at school say when I left? I bet they were thrilled, right? Or upset because they lost the person they love to pick on the most?" As I waited for an answer, I stroke Jupiter gently, my eyes never leaving Trent's form.

Oh boy! She'd gone into the forest! I quickly picked up my camera, slinging the strap around my neck, and headed into the forest. It was eerily quiet so I decided to stand behind a tree, making up a couple snowballs and peering out from behind the tree trunk. Maybe if I could lure her out? "Nat, come out come out wherever you are." I picked up a snowball, poised to throw it at a moment's notice. "I'll give you lots of kisses if you come out." Where the heck was she? She couldn't have disappeared, right? Unless... Removing my jacket, I spread out my reluctant wings and flew upwards with a few snowballs in hand. Aha! I knew it! Through the leafless branches I could spot Nathalie in a tree! Smirking, I flew closer anf then began my attack, throwing snowballs at the back of her head and her side and laughing as I did so.

Christmas spirit had reached the Kisaragi household! Christmas lights and tinsel were stuck to all of the beams, the tree was twinkling with it's own lights and christmas music was playing throughout the house, which Sora seemed to be really enjoying because she did a weird little dance to it. I was even already in my santa outfit and not to turn on - although it was pretty good at doing that - but because it was by far the most christmassy thing I owned! Anyway, enough about how awesome my house was at christmas! I had left Sora in the living room for a moment while I went to the bathroom and when I came back she had managed to climb on the kotstsu and was dancing on it, I guess I should've been worried about it, but the kotatsu was only 2 feet high, so even if Sora did fall she wouldn't fall far. I did pick her up in a swooping motion and tickle her a little, singing completely out of tune as she laughed. "You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout I'm telling you why, Yuffie Claus is coming to toooown!" 'Daddy! DADDY!' Sora called out and I let out an evil laugh. "Muwahahaha! Daddy's not gonna save you now, Sora, you're all mine!"

[Scampi]

Is that the one with the cute male blonde fairy in it? X3

[Wolfsoul]

Nah, Terrance isn't in this one much :/ The one he's most in is Tinkerbell And The Lost Treasure. And I didn't like this one much, too predictable. Sora lied it though She loves fairies. Faiwy Faiwy Faiwy! *Giggles.*

[Scampi]

I knew it began with T! XD That's the only one I've seen XD

[Wolfsoul]

Cool! *Sets Sora on the floor so that she can run around a little.* *Starts running around on wobbly legs, looking for something to play with.* Faiwy faiwy daddy faiwy! *Laughs.* Hayden's a fairy! XD *Gasps.* Oh my gosh! We should totally dress Hayden up as a fairy for Sora's birthday! XD I've watched all of them now ^_^" And there's another coming out in 2014 ^_^"

[Scampi]

Lmao! XD

[Wolfsoul]

Haha! Bring on August 2014! Princess Sora's Tinkerbell themed birthday party starring Hayden the fairy! XD *Grabs hold of a book, throwing it onto the ground and giggling at the loud bang it makes, clapping excitedly.*

Wanna rp Scampi?

[Scampi]

I can try I'm kind of in the mood to rp Caius and Daniel... Caniel? ... Danius?

[Wolfsoul]

Danius. That probably requires the laptop though so...

I had returned from town with a wrapped up gift for Daniel. I did not buy him much, simply a silver plaque with a slightly modified quote engraved onto it, but I hoped he liked it. Heading up to his room- which I knew from the new sign I had recently put up, indicating which room everyone was in - I took a deep breath and knocked on door, hoping that Daniel was in and that he would answer.

I don't get this film. How can an elf and a giant date? How the heck will sex work?! Jason! Not in front of the child! *Spots Sora.* Oh... Woops ^_^" Sorry! Don't worry, I don't get it either :/

[Scampi]

Daniel: I had been up with Candi a lot of tne night due to her changing and shifting because of the full moon. I also had taken her dirty clothes back,so when I heard a knock at the door, waking me up from a light sleep, I just assumed it was her. "It's open," I called out sleepily, closing my eyes as I laid on my back. I needed to get Candi something for Christmas, and I should probably get Caius something also. He ad been a good friend to me in the short time I had known him. What could I get him though? I was unsure of the kinds of things that he liked...

[Wolfsoul]

I walked in once Daniel allowed me to and I frowned slightly upon seeing him on the bed looking rather tired. "I apologise if I woke you, Daniel." I apologised, walking over to his bedside and holding out the wrapped present. "I got you a gift, though, in the spirit of Christmas. I just hope you like it." If he did not, I would look like a fool, especially since the quote could be seen as rather personal to Daniel.

present:

[midget]

Hey, I can't stay on, just popping on to post this. We have no internet until January, and I don't have a lot left on my phone contract so I probably won't be on a lot, and if I do come on it'll just be to post an all character post like this, or briefly look for replies to save to my phone to answer.

Hayden : Hearing Sora's screams of laughter as she shouted him, he chuckled and ruffled up Toby's hair before climbing to his feet and making his way to the livingroom. Leaning against the doorway he raised an eyebrow at his girls, smuthering a laugh at their antics. Although he had to admit, Yuffie in her sexy santa outfit, laughing with Sora, was like a double hit, and he didn't know whether to just take in the sight or tell her to go get changed. In the end he decided he liked the view a little too much, so he didn't say anything. Turning his attention to Sora, he made sure to raise his voice so he could be heard above their laughter. "Tell me who you love more Sora, and I just might help you escape from evil mummy!"

Toby: Feeling left out, he pushhed aside the presents that he and Haydie had been wrapping and followed him to see what was going on.

Tonks: She tipped her head back with a sigh, drawing her elbows up to rest on the counter so she could slump against it even more. "Yeah, keeping busy.... Maybe I should just find another job, and actually keep it this time." She didn't particulary want a job, but it would keep her distracted and having the money wouldn't hurt. They'd probably see each other even less as well, which would get her used to not having him around if he did leave or something did happened to him. She didn't want to think about it anymore though, having a breakdown on Tyler wasn't exactly what she'd anticipated when she'd agreed to talk about it, and if they talked about it for any longer things would just get worse and she probably would actually lose him. Turning to face the counter she dropped her head to look at her hands to avoid looking at him, her shoulders hunched over in order to shy away from him without having to move away and look pathetic. "Look, can we stop now... I've done the whole sharing my feelings c*** with you, so can we just stop talking about it?"

Erin: Steam rose from the mug of black coffee that she had cradled in her hands, warming up her icy fingers and coaxing her eyes to remain open. It was midday and it had only been the promise of caffine that had persuaded her to leave her room at all. Now she stood out on the porch, her hip cocked to brace against the wooden frame as she braved the cold in favour of observing the world around her. She liked it outside in the winter because any sane person was warm indoors, leaving her in peace. She was free to watch the trees rustle in the wind, the calm motions drawing her into a quiet trance.

Cassidy: "What do you think?" She ran her fingers through her hair, brushing it back from her face as she stood before her full length mirror. She hadn't bothered straightening her hair after drying it, so it had a natural wave to it as it tumbled over her bare shoulders. She had on a flowy black top with a floral print, that exposed a bit of her stomach if she stretched her arms above her head, and a pair of blue jeans tucked into some ankle boots. Nothing too fancy, but it still looked as though she'd put some effort in. Turning towards her bed she rolled her eyes at Red who was sulking with her head in her paws, at the thought of being shut alone in Cassidy's room. "Thanks for telling me I look nice." She gave her a quick rub, not wanting to kiss her and get lipstick on the poor wolf. "I'll see you later, don't wreck the place whilst I'm gone." Grabbing her jacket she left her room and headed down to the kitchen, where she could already smell dinner. She'd made sure to take her time getting ready so that he'd have time to start cooking, and to also make sure she didn't 'stink worse than him' anymore. She grinned when she rounded the corner and saw him stood over the stove, and after dumping her jacket on the back of a chair she approached him, not bothering to be smeaky because he probably already knew she was there. "Gotta love a man who can cook." She muttered as she wrapped her arms loosely around his waist, dropping her forehead to rest between his shoulder blades. "Hey!"

Adam: He was liking the thought of a life mate less and less, they basically decided how your life would end up and you had no control over it what so ever. If you didn't find them, or something happened to them then you lost your soul, and none of that was your fault. You could be the most loving amd caring person in the world, but if something happened to your life mate then you lost all that, and became feral and dangerous against your own will. He'd heard of people living for the one they loved, but this whole Carpathian life mate situation took that to a whole new level, a whole new ridiculous level. Filing away the information for later, he bit down on all the questions he wanted to ask and instead looked at Genisis curiously. She'd answered every single one of his rambling question, and even answered some he hadn't asked, he was surprised that she'd been able to keep up with them and remember them all. What surprised him even more though was that she even bothered to, most people just called him weird, or nosy and stopped talking to him. But she'd accepted his curiosity. A slow smiled spread across his face and his curious look fell away to one of gratitude. "Thank you, f-for putting up with my question. Do you - do you mind if I ask some more?"
