DreamLyrics™ Play-by-Post Forums Modern/Historical DUC: Durham University Campus Hangover Saturday

Sarah looks a bit taken aback.

"That some sort of Welsh idiom? Or is there a story there?"

Everyone gets a text from Henri. Some might be otherwised occupied to read it

Ian

Taken aback by her statement he glances over to Emma. Saying nothing but thinking.

[OOC Not sure how much you picked up on from the game MMH that ran prior to this one. Ian and the others discovered and rescued a teenage girl from an almost derelict house, having to confront and tackle the kidnapper when he returned just after this. Ian was shot in the leg by the guy's shotgun. They later found out he had killed a number of girls.]

Emma

Emma grins and chuckles a little bit. "Just a bit of dark humor. So how long have you two been together?"

Ian

"Yeah some real dark humor."

He glances knowingly at Emma. Still unsure of what to think or how to act at times.

[OOC Any replying to Henri's text? ]

Henri

He waits a minute, but it seems everyone is too busy or they are having too much fun doing something together. It really does not matter to him. As long as they know they can get back to the pool, he will simply pocket his phone and head back to the main foyer at the bottom of the dorm's stairway to wait for Miranda.

OOC: Thanks for the nudge, missed Henri's text!

Emma

Grinning at Ian she gives him a wink. Checking her phone she taps their location to Henri.
In the main dining area. Ian is here, as are.. I think their names are Sarah and ... Tom? No, Tony. I am pretty sure it is Tony.

Ian

He feels his cheeks heat slightly at her wink. Then looks quizzically as she quickly shoots off her text.

Curious he checks his phone and finally reads the text from Henri.

Thanks will take care of it later. Anyone with you?

Henri

His phone vibrates on him just as he leans against the wall to wait for Miranda to find that he has two responses. With a smile he taps out a quick reply.
Just waiting for Miranda, and we'll meet you there. Thanks!

Miranda smiles as she runs lightly down the stairs. She is wearing jeans and a Tshirt with a picture of a cat with a huge grin.

"Did you hear from the others?"

She glances down the corridor towards Linda's room but says nothing.

***************

Sarah and Tony are happy to chat.

"We've been together now for 9 months. Started dating almost straight away, after we were cast as Romeo and Juliet for the next production. It really helped as I think we were quite authentic in our roles."

She laughs and Tony joins in.

"Yes we still continue with our roles but have binned the tradegy and the serenading to balconies."

He contines.

"So what do you do for fun?"

Levon

Henri and the group gets a reply...

Emma

"Me, I am completely addicted to Agatha Christie novels. A few online MMPRGS, and shopping. It's a cliché, but I cannot resist a good sale. I have also taken up a few classes on self defense and martial arts, but nothing near the level of this competition." She looks at Ian, wondering what outside interests, besides martial arts, he might be into.

Ian

She likes Christie? He didn't know that. But explains a few things about her. Her inquisitive nature.

"You can't go wrong with Piorot. Been delving into Butcher's Dresden a quite a bit. Some Hamilton. Liking the fantasy side of those two. But my all time favorite is David Morrell. Mostly the building type. But since tackling a lunatic and getting shot I've started taking Jiu Jitsu and Aikido. Sort of want to avoid that happening ever again."

Turning to Emma. "So what MMO's do you play? I usually get into the building type."

Sarah and Tony exchange knowing looks and take an opportunity to indulge in refeshments.

Emma

"Diablo, World of Warcraft... things like that. Destroy the enemy, cast a few spells. I am not fanatical about them, but they do let me indulge in a bit of fantasy."

Tony turns to Ian.

"So tell us more about the lunatic and getting shot at. Sounds like there is a real story there?"

The four seem to be getting on well but they are about to be six as Henri and Miranda arrive at the table at this point. The guitarists and dancers in the corner seem to have finished their set and are chatting and packing things away, putting chairs back and such like.

In the distance Emma notices Levon and Skye come through the doors, looking around, presumably for them.

Ian

"Well some girls were being kidnapped and murdered. One of them was someone Emma and I knew. So Emma and our friends Levon, Skye, Miranda, Henri and a couple of others went to look for them. Led us to as creepy house. We found Alison, the girl who was kidnapped but we didn't get out before the kidnapper showed up with a shotgun. Stupid me charged him with a chair leg and he shot me. Tore up my legs pretty badly. Luckily Emma and Skye knew first aid or I'd have been in worse shape. The rest of our friends brought the kidnapper down while I lay there bleeding on the floor."

"Hello here's Henri and Miranda. Guys meet Tony and Sarah. They are competing from..." his voice trails off. "You know don't think you mentioned which school you are competing for."

{Skye}

It had been intense. And a release in more than one way. Skye had always had feelings for Levon. She had never been sure what to do with them - and then there was the entire kidnapping thing which had sent her in the other direction. She had tried to explain - but had been too wrapped up. But for what seemed like a timeless moment - even with their funny pause to let him answer a stupid text message -- she had simply let their bodies do what might have been in their hearts. ***Oh my...*** she thought...***those bodies in so many ways. Wrestling..in so many ways....***

She and Levon didn't talk much afterwards. They let their eyes and their hearts beat together. Skye finally broke the spell.

"I think there are going to be two very disappointed girls downstairs..but one very satisfied here now." She purred as she disentangled from her gorgeous sparring partner. "Let's clean up and meet the others. And we'll figure out this..." she pointed between them. "And if we want to go further. But let's not get all up in our heads...okay me get up in my head." She kissed him gently.

It was another fifteen minutes before they both were downstairs looking for their friends. She was in a floral shift and her goth schoolgirl coat with the big hoop choker. Great eyes and lips as always. Skye leaned against Levon as if she weren't quite ready to give up the heat that they had shared. She waved when she saw Emma. **She'll know instantly.** Skye might have smiled and blushed in anticipation.

Dressed for Success

Levon

"When can I get a rematch? I've been whooped by a scrawny morsel and need my revenge!" he teased her. Indeed, Skye was really fine. He was tired, and sweaty, and he did so enjoyed their wrestling match a lot.

But what was it? He didn't know. Was this the start of something that could go on? Was this a buddy with benefits? What he knew about Skye already was that she was like him in many ways. They were foreign bodies in a far away place, alone but for each other. They were both athletic and could commit to training and schoolwork. They both also had furnaces inside them and intense passion. His dilemma was about What was different about them. Foremost, he knew that she enjoyed both males and females. Was he going to be enough for her? She also came from a different culture and was his first time being with someone whose skin color was that much different than his. What he did know was he was in the moment and was content. There was no need to worry about anything right now. The now was awesome and that's all that mattered to him.

"Those two couldn't handle either of us," he said as she pulled in to kiss him. And he kissed her back.

They showered and got dressed in his tight, black jeans topped with a white, untucked shirt that with the top three buttons unbuttoned. Skye emerged from her primping. He held the door open for her as they made their way out of the room and his smile was one of approval as he looked her up and down with a hard-to-hide lascivious look and nary a word. As they started to make their way downstairs he was curious how things would unfold. He decided to let this be her show for now. He was going to enjoy.

[OOC Altered the Skye image link so it worked ]

Sarah listens wide eyed to Ian's story ending with a 'Wow' before turning to see Henri and Miranda.

"Nice to meet you. We're from Newcastle."

She smiles before turning back to Ian.

"So quite the hero then?"

[OOC Just a quick correction, no-one here knew any of the girls that were targeted]

Henri

He slips into a empty chair while absently forgetting to pull a chair out for Miranda as his attention is half directed to the new people Ian introduces.

"Hello", he says with his slight French accent and a friendly smile to both Tony and Sarah. "Looks like we missed out on some live music", commenting to Miranda.

Ian

Ian blushes. He didn't look at it that way.

"No, to me the heroes are Skye and Emma for saving my hide. Not to mention Henri, Levon, and Ivan for taking the guy out. I was just the unlucky wanker that distracted him long enough for the others to get him while I did something utterly stupid."
