Hulta pouted and tried to rest against Koko’s hands as they cupped her face. She matched the smile and bumped her head against Koko’s. Perhaps a little too harshly from the alcohol but the love was still there. Like an eager cat violently thumping their head against their owner. ‘She’s angry’ “Yuh hu.” She said with a gentle sniffle. Hopefully, the pair wouldn’t try to pry. How did she tell them ‘Oh yeah I lied to Marlowe as I lie to all of you’ Hulta had expected advice. She had expected perhaps sympathy and kind words and…she needs time to simmer down. Hulta let her head hang harshly to one side with a look of ‘Really’ in her pupils.

She should have asked for another drink. She was still feeling too much with this one. She wanted to feel numb. To forget everything that she had stupidly said. Hulta appreciated how Koko continued the conversation going. It helped Hulta to not focus on her stupid past actions. Tell her what she wants to hear. “B…But what if I don’t know what is right by me.” She slurred her words and sniffled again. Slowly, like the final mouthful of foam slipping back down Dari’s glass, Hulta turned her attention to Dari as Koko turned on him.

Dari had a girlfriend. Did he? How did she miss that? She was meant to be his partner. That had another round of fresh tears starting to prickle at her eyes. “I….Shush.” She leaned over the table and gripped Koko’s face. Tugging her closer until Hulta’s wide amber eyes could stare into Koko’s. She squeezed her cheeks together as she fixed her with as serious a look as she could muster. “We is the team. We will not leave it. Say it with me.” She tried to move Koko’s cheeks. “We will not leave it.” She chanted gently alongside Koko before flicking her gaze to Dari.

“I’m sad for Hulta.” Hulta smushed her face as close as she could get to Koko, forcing the woman to look at Dari as well. She watched him carefully as he looked towards the ceiling. Strong arms…perfect tits. Her eyes grew white. “Dari….No one mentioned Thessa?” Letting Koko free, Hulta scrambled closer to Dari with an wide almost creepy smile. “Oh I knew it. I KNEW IT. I called it like days ago.” She flicked her fingers violently at Dari as he tried to change the topic.

“Nuh hu. Back to the Thessa comments.” Resting her chin in her hands, she watched him eagerly, grateful for the change in topic. “She is very strong…and has very nice…yknow.” She winked at Dari though it looked more like she was just slowly blinking. Like some weird lizard. One eye at a time.

Location: gRAVIty Dorms
Wearing: Red Flannel, Black Belt, Grey Shorts, Fishnets tights
Tagging | Lyra
Koko was cheerful as she skipped down the halls of the Hammer dorms. She was incredibly cheerful, even more so than usual. It was odd considering the mood she'd been in as of late. But with the meeting she was on the way for she couldn't keep a smile off her face. That was partially because the meeting just reminded her that Mir had agreed to be her date for the Winter Battle Ball. It had all gone smoothly! She'd asked him and gotten a pretty direct answer. They'd agreed on details of when he'd pick her up and all the rest. Everything was set, until she realized she had absolutely nothing to wear. Koko wasn't exactly the type for fancy attire. And after her last experiment had failed extravagantly and cost her a butt load of Arcanite she was out of money for the month. That was why she'd needed to rely on a friend. Koko grinned happily as she finally reached the gRAVIty dorm entrance and without exactly asking strutted on in.

“Hey hey short stuff the hero has arrived!” Koko said as she stepped into the common area. She was looking for Lyra. The elven girl had agreed to help make her a dress for the ball and had even started on a design for her. This was just a meeting to get some measurements and do some fitting tests. Still Koko was eternally grateful. She found the silver haired girl with a plethora of fabrics and other pieces out for her. She approached and offered a hug. Taken up on her offer or not Koko would flash her a smile and a point. “You're a lifesaver for doin’ this ya know, I ain't gotta lick-of-a idea how in the hells to do all this. Far as I'm concerned this stuff is magic. And I ain't got the cash to pay a wizard at the moment.” She shied away for a moment as she recalled their latest meeting. Koko pushed a bit of messy hair behind her ear. “And I uh…I reckon you're ‘bout top of a short list-a folks who I'd let see me in all my glory…all things considered.” She scratched the back of her head looking a bit uncomfortable. It was odd to see Koko this fidgety. Normally her movements were so sure and confident.

“Anyways nuff of that nonsense! Let's get this rodeo on the go!” Koko slapped Lyra on the shoulder and took a step in front of her. She stretched her arms over her shoulder before rather unceremoniously beginning to strip. Koko had been assured by Lyra that the rest of gRAVIty were out for the afternoon. A lot of the team was on that short list she had mentioned anyways. Chee definitely made it at least. She started to unbuckle her belt before beginning to undo the buttons on her flannel shirt. Koko practically had a switch in her mind. Unlike others who often felt they needed to ease into showing skin it wasn’t actually the nudity that bothered her. It all boiled down to trust. And now that she knew she could trust Lyra with her body it was like she had flipped a switch. Koko happily disrobed, especially if it meant getting to her cute outfit for her date even faster!

Location: Gravity dorm
Wearing: cute outfit
Tagging | Mentioning: Marlowe @Aethyrium ...?


Thessa rapped her knuckle once against the bathroom door and waited a beat. Gravity's dorm room was lively with activity behind her - she had left the door open and other squads were peeking their heads in to say hello as well as come in to get ready - but she only had attention for one woman. Normally, she would have simply barged in. It wasn’t as if Marlowe were modest! She must be doing her makeup or hair or something. But it was unusual for her to shut the door at all, so Thessa waited. Her eyes drifted to the handle. The stainless steel had been painted a bronze color, but the paint was chipping to show the silvery undercoating. She should probably do something about that. She had never been one for decorations, but she was handy when it came to small repairs to keep the house looking like a home. "Marlowe!" she said loudly, crossing her arms. The woman did take forever. She was about to knock again when she heard someone come up from behind. She looked over her shoulder and smiled.

”Heyo.”

It was Dari, his braided dreadlocks gathered together with a leather thong, the buttons of his Hammer jacket freshly polished. He folded his arms across the front of it as he took in Thessa hovering by the door.

"Well if it isn't mamzel Thessa." he said with a winning smile, before squinting at the door as it continued to stand closed. "Let the great Dariaq Syvanios of Le Havre show you how its done." he offered, lacing his fingers together and stretching them over his head until the knuckles cracked, before rapping smartly on the brass-etched metal. He drew back a pace to wait, only to glance round as more squires arrived.

Tagging | Mentioning: Da Crew, Marlowe Ashe/ @Aethyrium |
Note: A Thing
Chee bounded up to Dari and Thessa and grinned at them. "Hullo~! Why we knockin on da door?" Chee bounced forward and rapped his knuckles against it as well. Then the turned to face the two tall elves. He eyed their heights. His tail snapped behind him.

Chee shifted his shoulders within his tracksuit and squeaked his sneakers on the floor idly. The pall of sweat clung to him, which was perennial to Chee, as he had just come back from training. He reached back to run a single long finger along the spine of Darklash's sheath. His ears flicked as he looked from one to the other of the elves.

”Oh! Oh right! Dinner! Lemme… er, get changed?” He sniffed himself daintily and stuck his tongue out, pulling a face.

Koko hummed happily to herself as she walked down the hall towards the gRAVIty dorms. There was a skip in her step and a bounce to her curvaceous body as she walked along. She waved to passersby and friends. Most all people at Hammer got a smile from the patchwork mechanic. It was an eclectic sort of smile, it meant many things and showed the kind of life she had lived. It was quite the life. Reaching the dorm she was surprised to see the gathering of her friends outside the door. Koko greeted them all with that same kind of smile. “What in the hells yall doin’ out here for? Yall waitin’ on Lolo too? To hell with ‘at!” Koko wiggled her way in between her friends, her soft curvy body squishing up against them. She smirked like the mad woman she was. It was a smirk that might get a few people excited upon seeing it. The kind that promised excitement and exciting things to come. She searched across the door for a moment. Its hardwood, solid wooden design was immaculate. Exactly what you would expect from such a historic school. The dark wood grain gave it that historic feel. She moved her hand across it until she found the perfect spot. She then took a deep breath, making her full plump chest rise and fall, before she began beating on the door. Her knuckles rapped against the door over and over, delivering many many knocks. She continued for a solid 10 seconds. Her curvy body shook at the sudden quick movements. She was sure Marlowe would hear her after all of that.

Location: Gravity dorm
Wearing: Uniform
Tagging | Mentioning: Swagger / Gravity, @Aethyrium
Red curls bounced like a waving plant from the high bun that Hulta had crammed atop her head. “What we doing?” She appeared in amongst the group with a wide energetic smile. Her words were slightly slurred as she had roughly 10 lemon drops crammed into her cheek like a squirrel does chestnuts. “Waiting on Marlowe?….can’t you see her?” Hulta threaded herself past Chee and Koko before ducking down and popping up directly in front of Thessa.

The glass door was frosted but Hulta was certain that she could see someone moving around in the room. The rest of the door was carved from one large light oak tree trunk. It was intricate with multiple details of small birds….no…no…those were male genitals with small wings. Seems like Marlowe had a part in the creation of this door.

Hulta smooshed her face up to the frosted glass. Marlowe would surely get a fright at the wide eyes, splayed red hair and giant grin that gleamed at her through the glass. Her full face smudged the glass door. “Marlooooweeee” She almost sang but the name was muffled against the glass. Peeling her face back from the door, Hulta looked towards the others and wrapped her hands around the crystal door handle. Matching the eagerness of Koko, Hulta violently shook the door handle. “Let us innnnnn”

Location: Gravity dorm
Wearing: cute outfit
Tagging | Mentioning: Marlowe @Aethyrium, Eloise, Dari, Chee, Koko, Hulta

The white-oak paneled door swung violently open. "WHAT. THE. FUCK." Eloise growled at them, a toothbrush in hand. Thessa gawped. Dariaq gawked. Chee gaped. Koko goggled. Hulta gasped. There was a moment of silence as they stared at each other.

"What's going on?" Marlowe asked from behind. She had just entered the dorm, looking lovely as always. "I thought we were meeting at Swagger's dorm?"

Laughter erupted from the group as Eloise slammed the door shut.  Thessa put a hand to her chest as she wheezed in amusement, shaking her head. "They thought ya was in the bathroom. Tried ta tell 'em you wasn't!" Thessa fibbed, feeling foolish and playful. As her friends began to protest, she said louder: "Anywho, ain't we gunna be late? C'mon now!" she said enthusiastically, bouncing away from the bathroom door. She hooked arms with Marlowe and smiled. Hulta came up on her other side and also linked arms. Taking it as the challenge it was, Dari hooked arms with Thessa to prove that he could do it just as well as her and not wanting to be left behind, Koko took Hulta's arm and Chee took Koko's until they were one long chain. "Let's go!" Thessa said, and they laughed and skipped their way to a night of dinner and dancing.

[FyreFoxx]

Character Name: Lyreilynn "Lyra" Xyrven Myalis
Date | Time: December 3 | Early Afternoon (~1pm)
Location: gRAVIty Dorms
Wearing: teal Arcanite pendant, pale blue top with white sleeves, pink and white paneled skirt
Tagging | Mentioning: Koko | Marlowe, Thessa

The door opening without a knock didn’t alert Lyra to anything strange at first. True, most of her squadmates were supposed to be out that morning. But perhaps one of them returned early? However, the voice that chimed in a greeting was certainly not one that belonged to anyone on Gravity. There was that surprised slow blink, turning her head towards the door as she flattened her hands against the desk in front of her, where she had rolls of fabric laid out, and pushed herself to her feet to greet the intruder. “You really should knock first,” she chastised the blonde as Koko entered the dorm. This was the second time now that she’d barged in on what should have been a private space. Despite her words, there was a small smile across her lips.
 
That smile faltered slightly as Koko held her arms out wide, offering a hug, but Lyra only responded with a diluted expression and a tilt of her head, politely rejecting the contact. At least Koko wasn’t upset - the other girl knew how she was about touch. As Koko rambled on, the dainty elf merely nodded, turning back towards the swath of fabrics strewn across the desk. There was another pile carefully folded on a chair nearby. Her sewing kit was unfurled on the far edge, leather strap hanging off the side. “I am glad you trusted me enough with this, Koko. Lolo has my first attempt at making clothes, but I am excited for this, perhaps as much as you are.” She pursed her lips, fingertips brushing against a particularly dark piece of fabric. It was smooth to the touch, albeit a little fuzzy. Velvet. One of many various rolls laid out.
 
As Lyra turned to look over her shoulder at Koko, she came face to face with a partially nude woman. Instantly, heat flooded her face and her cheeks grew warmer, red blossoming to color her pale complexion. “K-koko!?” The belt was off and already on the floor and she was undoing the buttons to her shirt before the elf rushed forward and clasped her hands over the blonde’s, her fingers trembling as a panicked look took over her features. “Is that really necessary?!” …Actually, it was, but the sudden disrobing had thrown the poor girl into shock!
 
As Koko questioned her motives and if she could really get anything done if the taller girl was still wearing clothes, Lyra had to reluctantly agree she had a point. “K-keep your… undergarments on,” she mumbled, turning her head to the side as she averted her eyes. Trying to busy herself with gathering materials while Koko finished stripping, she swallowed the lump in her throat, taking a deep breath. ‘Just skin,’ she reminded herself. Marlowe did this all the time, so how was this any different? Maybe because it wasn’t Marlowe? Sure, the busty brawler still flustered her, but had she really grown used to her antics to the point someone new would catch her so off-guard?
 
Shaking her head, she waited until Koko said she was finished. Lyra took another moment before she turned around, a long piece of string in her hands. Keeping her eyes on Koko’s face as much as possible, she stepped forward. “Alright, stand still. Let me start with measurements. I know we talked about a design and I showed you a few styles. Did you decide on one yet? Knowing which one will help narrow down the types of fabric that will work best.” Instructing the blonde to lift her arms, Lyra placed one end of the string at her shoulder, then held it aloft to trace along her arm to the wrist. Jotting down the results, she did the same for the other side. Then from armpit to her waist.
 
Fingertips trailed lightly over Koko’s hips, her eyes being drawn instinctively to the burn scars along her legs. Lyra swallowed again, capturing her lower lip between her teeth. The night in the bathhouse had certainly opened new doors for her with this woman, sharing a deep secret between them. Shaking her head slightly to dislodge the thoughts from her head, she went back to business. One by one, Lyra took her measurements, but so far, she tried to remain waist-up, not letting her eyes travel downward. It was still strange to her, and just a little uncomfortable. Trying to cover up her hesitance, the elf offered the blonde a shaky smile as she looked up from the sketchbook where her notes were. “What about colors? I remember you wanted to keep it simple?” She would latch onto anything that would distract her from the mild embarrassment. “Were you planning on matching someone?” She paused, blushing a bit harder at the insinuation. “I-I mean… are you going with someone? Has anyone asked you yet? Or.. or did you ask someone?” Why was this social thing so hard? How did Thessa do this so easily?!
