The Pirates & A Mer

 Patience grumbles "Stupid human girl" under her breath

Rue smiles and binds the wild lady. Kindly wrapping some rope around her wrists. "My darling one what was that you were swinging at me" hearing it grumble snaps at the leash bound to the bindings "pardon me? how am I the stupid one when it would appear I am holding the leash?"

Patience huffs "I only swing at you when you hit me with the sharp!.. I can see where they come from you know!"

Rue shouts over to her friend to come see what she has caught and stops mid shout and tugs on the leash pulling her along behin

Rue smiles up at Brick "what would you reckon I caught?"

Patience got pulled along, tugging hard at the leash as the woman drug her.. She looked at the man for a moment, a smile forming oh her lips "Well hello"

Brick smiles " you got some one wanted to be caught "

Rue looks over her shoulder and smirks then glances back to Brick. "caught, yes. But me....I would venture a NO" snickers

Patience looked at the man, her eyes roaming his body, what he might consider an interested look was in truth searching his body for shiny things. She smiled seeing the large gold circle on his kilt, her eyes lingering there for a moment before looking back at the woman

Brick looks back at the captured prey " what you searching for in me is nothing would be interesting for you " looks back her her scaley body , "you seem kinda inserting then mine

Patience averted her gaze from the woman, instead settling it back on the man, she had a natural dislike for human women and shooting at her did not help. She smiled to him "You are not hard to look at'

Rue catches her captives wondering eye at her friend. Smile and back up slowly inches away from his warm body and slightly slithers down and up his body before turning and smiles before stealing a kiss with a soft moan "is this what you are desiring" smile back at the captive

Patience bit her bottom lip, feigning a bit of jealousy as she watched. She did not know the man, and had no real desire for him, except for the possibility of using him to get her off the woman's leash. "Oh um.. yes" She figured to play on his ego

Brick gives the scaley women a glace over Rue shoulder and raises his eye brows wondering what she is um'ing about , thinking to himself if she had any plans

Rue perks a brow and looks coldly at her taps her chin and thinks of what be of best use of her capture. "hmm...you may fetch a pretty penny, I know pirates ❤ to all kinds of things to beings like you"

Patience wrinkled her nose at the idea "But they don't bathe!! " she whined

Brick turns around at her as he watchs the huge bird " well , probably the pirates you been with might have felt that way , not with his handsome pirate who you never came across"

 Brick humms at Rue's thought " that would be a good one I guess "

Patience looked at him, her hands flying to her hip together as they were bound to the leash "As if I'd been with them, I can smell them for miles!" She looked at the lady considering her options and a tear started slowly sliding down her cheek, she cried softly at first, a gut wrenching, heartbreaking sound that could tear at the soul

Rue reaches her other arm back puling Brick in close and turns her head to the side and breaths in deep, smelling with out fear of her nostrils being assaulted. "mmmm you do smell good"

Brick kisses Rue as she gets closer him to smell him " I do more then smelling good " winks and looks back at her asking " what about the dancing thought ".

Rue smiles blushingly and slightly shivers feeling the space between Brick and her close. shakes her head and looks up at the girl "yes how about dancing for us? I honestlly wouldnt dream of bringing any harm to you"

Patience 's cry grew louder, becoming a wail, its tone beckoning them to comfort her "I just wanna go homeee, won't you let me go home?"

Brick watches closely around as the bird goes ,spots a wingless fairy sneaking from back " looks like we got more spectators waiting on a dance "

Beth crouches upon the hill near the tree silenty observing the commotion below. Such strange creatures humans be. With quiet moves she lays her sword upon the ground at her feet close to where she could grasp it if needed while she pulled forth an arrow to grip within her right hand

Rue grits her teeth and tightens one shoulder nearly cringing at her wailing cries. "of course I will let you go home.......would you like us to escort you there?" grins almost wickedly at her

Patience nodded, bringing the bindings to her face to wipe her nose on the rag beneath as best she could, knowing if she got them underwater she would keep them there

Brick "awww's" at her as she starts cry louder , looks at his friend Rue not sure if we asked more then just a dance " looks back at the fairy lady ash she grips a arrow seems like she is ready to pounce ,keeps an eye on her

Beth keeps her bow down along with the arrow placed in the grass more as precaution. Her foot on the edge of her sword to flip it upwards into her hands should danger precipitate that she has cause to use the weapon. Her eyes glow like silver beams of moonlight as she watches with vivid curiousity as the children of man play with the fish. Her head tilts to the side as she wonders what game the fish is playing.

Rue tugs playfully at the leash pulling it away from her mouth. Sighs softly as she watches this mysterious creature grows a longing needful look in her eyes to return home. Feels her heart swell as if a rushing wave had crashed down on her heart as if it were rocks. Looks back to Brick and gives a puzzling look "what shall I do? Shall I release her an maybe pay for it. Or put her in a cage just above the water?"

Patience heard the woman's idea, and her skin nearly turned white, she shook her head no vigorously.. "No cage.. Please.. " she started wailing again and tugging on the bindings, trying to pull the leash from the woman's hands

Brick looks back at a Rue as she looks puzzled at him " not sure if she deserves to be freed , pauses for a moment "umm ah probably we can let her go and maybe make a deal for the next time "

Rue curls a wicked grin cuing in. "mmm so you are a mermaid turn land walker after all. Then here is what I will request of you for your freedom. Tis not much in return if you think about it. I will need for you to collect 16 pearls from the waters here and bring them to me." steps in close her nose touching her neck and takes in a deep breath "I know you scent as I know all scents and smells here on this island. If you do not bring me these pearls I shall hunt you down and lock you in a cage until uselessness or old age accepts the bars to cage I will make for you"

Patience looked at him with distrust, she had heard about pirates and their deals, never good. She stopped her crying and held her wrists out to Rue "I will dance.. Here.. I know I can not out run your sharps. I will not take the treasures of the deep and give them to humans, they are not yours"

Beth cocks her head curious as to why the fish is not using her song.. she looks like a siren but perhaps she is mistaken.

Rue slyly looks down glancing a small heh kind of look as she becomes reassured at being able to fool another mythical being. "you mean you will not steal from mother her precious gift?" smiles and with out a second thought releases her. Peering into her eyes and for a moment lets her eyes flicker a deep shade of blue only the depths have seen before looking away "I shall not forget this and I mean that lovingly"

Brick well "humms ah now this looks like the negotiator negotiating , looks back at the binds and looks at the scaley lady to remind her that she is still captured and has to do what is told or he guess the cages is ready for her

Patience smiled as the ropes were removed from her and began to dance

A Pirate & Fairy Go To The Moon (Part 2)

Tiamet hears the comment and forgets her vendetta with the clock and she flits out the hatch eyes as big as turkey platters, squeals gleefully "We're on the moon?"

WldDog Nods. "Yeah, but don't go far. The magic of the ship will not let you breath for too long away from it. Do you want to know what the moon tastes like?"

Tiamet eyes the moon and is unsure "It doesn't quite look like pie like I was promised." she sulks leaning on the ships railing her lips pursed into a disappointed pout.

WldDog runs below and checks to see if the magic ship was ready to withstand much time in space. He returned to the fairy. "Well, now is your chance. In a few minutes the moon will be as far away as it ever was."

 Tiamet leaps over the railing and lands gingerly, the dust of the moon clouding up with the impact as her wings flip. SHe frowns some as she shifts scooping up handfuls of the gritty moon surface she lets out an annoyed sound "This isna pie!"

 WldDog smiles "Nothing in space is as it seems. If we make it back, perhaps you can tell your friend what the moon really tastes like"

Tiamet grumbles and stuffs a handful of the grey matter into one of her pouches. "Nope I has them taste it themself."

WldDog finally notices the springs and other components sticking out of the clocks. " Did you do that?"

 Tiamet sits on the steps and nods "yes those nasty clocks tried to kill us!"

WldDog scratches his head. "I forgot you eat metal"

Tiamet giggles "Is that a bad thing?"

 WldDog: "well, it is if we want to get home in one piece."

 Tiamet sits on the steps flipping her wings "well how do we get back to Never Land?"

WldDog: "I do not know how long the magic will keep us here. It could be minutes, or it could be years. You see, this spot here? That is where the key goes to lock in a time. You ate the gear that it turns and now i have no way of knowing when we will be sent back. And I am not sure, but I am guessing the food here is not very plentiful."

Tiamet eyes the clocks "I dunno bout you but I think we has plenty of food." her tone is pouting. "And which gear do you actually need back?" She tips her head almost in a bird like manner waiting for his response.

WldDog reaches for the fairies head and grabs a handful of hair. He looks down her throat hoping to see what else she had eaten recently. "What else do you have in there?"

Tiamet acks swatting at his hand "leggo! I has the key, about 6 gears, 2 springs, some buttons, and a small metal whistle that I had for a snack around lunchtime...."

WldDog laughs "You may be our ticket back home, you little thief." He picks up the fairy and shakes her upsidedown, hoping to dislodge anything he can.

Tiamet pouts and squirms "Am not a thief!" squeals as is shaked upside down, but all that drops out of her mouth is one of the smaller cogs.

WldDog listens for more items to fall to the ground, but is distracted as he realizes her dress still falls in this gravity. He slows the shaking as he focuses and then steals a kiss from the inside of her thigh.

Tiamet lets out some more yelps as is shaken, she lets out a startled sound and wriggles like a fish as feels the kiss brush her skin. She debates if she oughta just bring the metal bits and bobs up or not, but they're hers, she wantsa take them to her treasure hidey hole.

WldDog tries to hold her, feeling her skin against his was as enjoyable on the moon as it was back home. He squeezes the slippery fish as tight as he can, but she is able to wiggle away.

Tiamet flails some with a small growl grabbing the little cog that had fallen out and popping it back in her mouth as she scrambles to hide behind the desk.

WldDog picks up the clocks and carries them to one of their many pirate treasure lock boxes. He soon locks them into the chest and approaches the desk. "Do you really think you can hide from a pirate on his own ship?"

[23:06]  Tiamet scrambles to keep 3 sides of the desk between them. She peers at him over the edge of the desk her fingertips barely visible as she leans on the desk. "No, but keep my treasures I plan to." Her tone is sulky as she pouts at him.

A Pirate & Fairy Go To The Moon (Part 1)

[22:18]  WldDog (wldknight): be careful of the clocks on my desk. They open portals

Tiamet peers over and eyes the clocks "what kind of portals?"

WldDog : well... I opened one to hell yesterday. Had to get a guy back"

 Tiamet giggles her eyes widening in amusement "there's no such place!"

WldDog smiles, "Oh yes there is. I have been there, recently. The demons there dont like me hacking them to pieces"..."Can't say I blame them"..."took one of their helpers from them. They never like that."

Tiamet laughs merrily "no more than my kin appreciate the sort of things akin to that."

WldDog: "Good point. Is there anyplace you would like something from?" He eyes the fairy carefully.

Tiamet hrms "The moon? Is supposed to be made of apple pie, my friend the Doctor told me so once..."

WldDog: "Hmm... I always thought it was cheese. Lets see." He places the clocks on his desk and points all the hands to the sky. He grabs a book of the shelf and opens it to retrieve a key from a hollowed out portion section of the book.

Tiamet giggles leaning in and running a fingertip on the back of his neck as he places the clocks, she watches with interest "Hook doesn't like clocks you know...."

WldDog: "Yeah, he doesn't like these either, but he knows what they can do so i am allowed to keep them. As long as he doesn't have to see them"

Tiamet giggles and makes a grab for the key "what's that for?"

WldDog Takes the key and winds the clocks, then replaces the key to the book.. only to have the fairy remove it before he could close the book. "That is one of the ways the clocks work" He reaches for the key

Tiamet balances the key on the tip of her nose like a seal would a ball, and dances out of his reach giggling "It's shiny! am keeping it!"

WldDog: chases the fairy around the room. "No no no no,,, don't drop it. It could destroy the clocks."

Tiamet flips it off her nose and catches it in her teeth grinning at him some from the other side of the desk. She tips her head and opens her mouth taking in the key and holding it like a squirrel would a nut "Why?"

WldDog: "I dont know what would happen. The magic of the clocks is locked onto the moon, and if it is destroyed right now it could bring the whole moon to us and destroy never never land."

Tiamet squeaks and swallows the key startled by the idea

WldDog slowly approaches Tiamet and just misses the key before it is swallowed. A look of fear crosses Wlddog's face. "Oh no."...."No no no no no no no."

Tiamet winces some feeling the key go down she blinks looking sheepish "sorry >.>"

WldDog gives her a blank look as he looks at the clocks. "Well, it seems like everything is alright....." The entire ship starts to shake. "never mind!" He shouts.

Tiamet squeaks and fllips her wings hovoring off the shaking floor, a frightened expression on her face as she watches books tumble off the shelves "what is that?"

WldDog looks around and runs on shaky ground to look out of the hatch, fearing he does not see the moon rushing to crush them all. He looks in dread as he does indeed see the moon flying towards them. "I think we all are going to die now."

Tiamet flips her wings anxiously and picks up two of the clocks and starts shaking them "Make it stop!!!"

WldDog  rushes over to her and carefully takes the clocks from her. "No no no... That could make things worse!" He grabs the clocks and glances out of the port side windows. He did not see any water. He instead saw the edge of the earth. suddenly the clocks were not longer that important. "Uh, Tiamet, can fairies fly in outer space?"

Tiamet blinks some "Technically......why?" she tips her head looking worried not quite getting what he's getting at she makes a grab for the clock "make the time stop on them make it stop!"

 WldDog  hears the clocks release a spring as she shakes one of them. The ship lurches to a stop as the spring stand oddly the side of the clock.

Tiamet grabs for the clock that has the spring sticking out, intending to pull out the springs and cogs

WldDog slowly climbs to the deck and looks over the side. The ship was now sitting on the surface of the moon. He whispers: "Uh, Tiamet? You can find out if the moon is made of pie now."

Styling With Soka (3): Dryad

It is well past time for me to do another of these, and so I present you another non-human version of myself: My Dryad.  The newest, but I had to, because I really love, love, love how this one turned out.  Take a look:

I didn't want green skin or just tattoos, I wanted a dryad who looked like she stepped out of her tree, but spent the rest of her time living within it's trunk.  To that end, the mesh earth elemental avatar by Kaelin Westland was fantastic: eventually, I want to get all of her elementals.  Just looking at them feeds my creativity to see what I can do with them, make them characters of their own.  For the most part, being mesh, the body is default, but minor changes to size, fat, and head can all be done by editing your avatar's underlying shape, so I shifted mine just a little to fit how I wanted.  Honestly, it probably makes little difference, and the avatar is just beautifully done and textured.  It includes a walker, the leaves on the hands and shoulders, and the eyes, a lovely green that I couldn't beat for fitting the avi with anything I found in the market.  Yes, the branches coming out of her head are part, too.

Being who I am, I could not resist adding some personality... and clothes.  Even if I know she's made out of rock and bark, who I am just doesn't hold to running around nude easily.  You just have to be careful because, being mesh, clothing layers won't work and most mesh clothing won't look correct on the avatar, especially as you can't use an alpha - the alpha is already hiding your real body.  All the same, I found some beautiful clothes with prims just how I want, including the outfit in the picture, which has those beautifully sculpted wings.  For the hair, I decided early on I wanted a long, thick braid, and the one I found works perfectly! All the details are below.

Mesh Avatar: KK Fantasy: Earth Elemental
Outfit: ThatChick : Tiger Lily Fae (Includes the flowers on the right said of her face, looking at the picture)
Hair Wreath: ~Mystic Sky~ : Autumn Hair Wreath
Hair: ^;^ CaTwA ^;^ : Mesh Katniss/Light Browns
 Eyelashes: Evie's Closet: Leafy Lashes ~ Autumn
