CHRISTMAS IN JULY, PART TWO;
Days 478-479 (July 13-16th)

Day 478 (July 14)
Following a network post announcing an impending attack by ice giants and Thiazi's declaration to the city, the fight begins when a small swarm of pixies descends upon the city, no more than eight inches tall and the definition of "glass cannons." They create chaos however they can: shaking snow onto people, carrying off weapons, and attacking directly if approached without an easy exit. Their teeth are curved like fangs and razor-sharp.

While the pixies stir the city up, the frost giants begin to load the golems up into the catapults. Two by two, the massive ice creatures come crashing - literally - into the city. They land hard and inaccurately, as the engineers' defenses on the city walls keep the giants from approaching too quickly, and some golems seem to be damaged already by the same defenses as they land. The pixies seem to lose interest around sunset (though you may find one or two hidden and sleeping in a snowbank if you look hard enough - they'll attack aggressively if woken), but the fights with the golems continue well into the night, until all in the city are dispatched. Where the pixies turn into snow, the golems transform into large hunks of ice after they are killed.

Day 479 (July 15-16)
At sunrise, the pixies ascend from their hiding places and scatter, doing their best to break into homes to attack people directly. Today, anyone who finds himself bitten will begin to feel and act strangely.

Ice golems continue to come crashing into the city throughout the morning. All of the original ones slain, Thiazi begins creating more on the spot: while they may be more numerous, they are weaker, and many have odd physical defects. Some are missing arms, and others have extra heads. Following an attack by the strike team, the number itself will begin to thin considerably as one of the catapults is damaged and the other is destroyed completely.

Just before sunset, Thiazi delivers a final message and makes a hasty retreat with her entourage of frost giants. The spell responsible for the odd weather breaks the moment that she passes the threshold a half mile out, and all remaining pixies and golems in the city immediately, mid-action, turn to snow and ice.

By midnight, the city is thawed completely.

[It was difficult to determine the identity of the individual over at his own side of the alleyway as well. Then again, he didn't care neither. One more person that has decided to cross his path. One more person that has decided to get in his way. His anger was blazing at the moment. An anger he has been keeping mostly to himself for who knows how long. And now with his new found anger mixed with paranoia, he was now in a hazy state of mind, where he saw the world the way he has almost internally has had in the back of him -- he hated the world and everyone in it. Everyone was his enemy, there was nothing more to it than that.

Raising his weapon, taking a more defensive stance while his gaze was at the individual in front of him, silently analyzing them as best as he can in the low lighted area. Right now, he didn't care who they were nor did it occur to him it might be someone he knew. All he knew was: they need to get out of his way and line of sight. They all needed to be quiet. They all needed to die. Everyone who gets in his way, should simply disappear.

Without another word or even warning, Soushi will begin his strike by rushing at full speed towards the person with his blade onto the side, but just when he was about to strike his enemy, he will rise his sword over his head as he decides to jump towards their general direction as a way to offer him an extra height advantage over them while using gravity to offer more strength to his blade. From his form, it was clear he might want to slice his target in half now.]

S...Soushi?!? Shit!

[The statement came as she rolled to the side in a frantic and sudden bolt. That kind of bold and fiercely aggressive maneuver was just the sort she'd learned to watch for and deal with once it was telegraphed. It would have been brutal, had it struck right, but coming straight at her in full view, it was hard not to miss. She felt the blade kiss the air inches from where she'd been and growled low.

Something was wrong and she didn't want to take a risk. He'd been part of the conspiracy to kill these giants himself. If he'd turned, they would have tried to steal the very weapon she'd worked this hard to bring together. No, this was something else. As she came to her knees, her hand whipped the chain she wielded once, twice and hurled it towards his sword arm to try and grab the blade and yank it from his hands if she could.

She had to deal with this fast.]

[personal profile] discrepant 2014-07-22 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[The moment he had missed, the force of his attack will leave Soushi looking blankly towards the ground as his sword's blade hit the icy surface hard. A backlash like this would normally have a fighter dropping their weapon and waving their hands a bit, but Soushi simply remained still and await for the force in his arms to lessen. The pain he should feel on his hands will go ignored even when he had clearly scraped one of his hands.

As he felt the cold chain clinging onto his arm, the half-demon will stare at the owner of the chain, a feral expression will appear as he offers a threatening growl towards Samantha that can be compared to one a fox or wolf would offer. He will drop his weapon, and instead use the chain in his arm to his own advantage. He will use the chained hand to pull it at full force while his other free hand will hand onto it as he tries to pull back as hard as he can; in hopes, of bringing the other demon close to him and maybe use her own weapon against her in some way. Everything he was doing was all based on instinct, he was barely using his head nor had interest to fight the fire anger going through his veins or the fog clouding his judgement entirely as he felt he was in a rematch with the creature that tried to murder his master.]
samantha_grey: (Kiss)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-07-22 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[The motion was successful and he could feel the blade of her sickle ram against her side. It didn't, however, sink in. She'd want to sharpen the blade later, given that it had just been raked over her midriff, over the dragonscale undersuit she wore. It wasn't impossible to hit the girl, but you had to know where to aim, or rely on blunt-force trauma. This just wasn't enough to more than briefly wind her.

However, caught up this close, she could feel herself in a position that breaking away wasn't so easy. Her options were limited, and she swallowed.]


Sorry about this Soushi.

[If she could grab him by the head, her lips were going to go straight for his while she pushed froward, attempting to put him up against the nearest wall. There wasn't much erotic about the attempted kiss, ignoring that eroticism and violence were pretty commonly mixed with her. But what there was, was a pull on his power if she could just connect.]
discrepant: (★ surprise)

[personal profile] discrepant 2014-07-23 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[It was a good thing she had the undersuit beneath her clothing to protect her or else she would have gained some damage as Soushi was counting on the hard icy ground to be used as way to momentarily stun her, so he could either take that moment to step on her a few times until she was entirely knocked out or used her own chain to tie her up.

Either choice would have been enough to keep her from following him. As feral as he currently was, he still wouldn't kill as he simply wished to be left alone. He didn't feel hunger or was angry enough to take it out on her. That's what the easily flying ice blocks were for.

But realizing she was uninjured and the situation was no longer following his earlier plans, Soushi will watch her own quick movement which will have her: not only grabbing his head, but using force to push him to the closest wall. Soushi will look at the girl, caught off guard, and find himself quickly trying to struggle his way out of her grasp as he was not comfortable with the idea of his head on her hands. He will try with all of his might to push her off by taking advantage over the way she is trying to get close to try and body slam her off. The keyword being: trying.]
samantha_grey: (Kiss)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-07-23 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Body-slamming was a great idea. He had bulk on her. He had the advantage of feral desperation. He had the icy terrain. There was only one problem with that.

It put her lips really close to his.

That motion might have freed his head from her hands, but her lips tried to claim those last inches and push him into a kiss. If she could claim his lips with hers, she'd start draining his power as soon as she could, aiming to weaken him, even to knock him out if possible. But first she needed that contact.]
discrepant: (★ guilt)

[personal profile] discrepant 2014-07-24 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[With the desperation of trying to get her hands to release his head, Soushi never once thought of the backfiring consequences of his actions until he felt a pair of warm lips pressed against his own.

The feeling alone was enough to have him realize those very same consequences. It was more than enough to have him increase his struggle against her, but the moment their lips made contact it was already too late for him. His energy was being taken from him at a rabid rate.

No matter how much he would struggle, how much he would sway, or how much he try to kick the person off, the more his energy was being drained from him. The loss of energy will have Soushi slowly melting the fog from his mind and the feral anger from before. It was odd how a kiss could calm his fury, but increase his paranoia all at once. Now he was thinking of his master, but not in the best of lights due to the circumstances from his world. Was he being punished for his crime? Will Sam find out that piece of knowledge through their kiss? For the time being, he'll remain in his spot and waits for Sam to finish.]
samantha_grey: (Kiss)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-07-24 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[As his struggles started to ease, Samantha maintained contact and pressed him up against the wall again. This time, it was less of an aggressive maneuver, and more of something meant to make sure he didn't collapse. She had more than enough control to avoid a 'kiss of death,' and instead focused on getting him close to falling unconscious before she finally pulled back for a moment.

Her eyes were lidded and she looked down, cheeks a little red.]


Are you calm again or do I have to knock you out?

[It was said in a low murmur, close to a growl herself. It was hard to say if this was a punishment now, or just how she was.]
discrepant: (★ another smile)

[personal profile] discrepant 2014-07-25 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[By the time she had asked him if he was calm or needed to be knocked out, his mind was taking a little longer to process it all as he felt his eyelids feel heavier than before. He was too tired to argue, push, or even glare at her. Whatever anger he still felt, it was too worn out to remotely care as he felt more anxious than anything else.

His attention will turn to Sam as he takes his time to examine the type of facial expression she held. Her cheeks were red was all his weary mind could process and she didn't sound bemused or angry at him. This particular scene didn't feel too out of the ordinary for him as it reminded him of his high school years except it was all in reverse. A weak, but amused smile will appear as he thought about it.]


...you should...feel more concern if I'll fall than anything else. [After all, he is taller than most people in Asgard and if he fell over her out of exhaustion, she'll have a difficult time getting a 6'4'' man off her.] ...it's fine... [His bangs will cover more of his expression as he offers a sigh after looking down.] I feel too exhausted in wishing to tear you apart any longer...I never thought a simple kiss would wear me out like this. [A beat.] You have a gift...all said in the least offensive way possible... [All said with a weak grin on his face now. This might be the only sign of Soushi's odd sense of humor kicking in now.]
samantha_grey: (Embarassed)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-07-25 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[She was tall, a healthy 5'10", but she was still short compared to the man looming over her. Added to this was the fact that, with her hollow bones, she was actually a very light woman for her height and if he keeled over she might have had a bit of an effort rolling him over.

As he spoke, though, the color deepened and her lips moved, eyes lidded. She was pushing against the wall, pressing him in. Her eyes took on a lidded look, while she felt the faintly oily sensation of the power she'd taken from him. Her whole body shivered and she swallowed thickly.]


Don't joke about that. You have no idea how much I want to eat you right now. [She bit her lip. It was a real temptation, one that she controlled, but she wasn't thinking the situation was a gift. It was like eating an undercooked meal, finding herself still hungry.]
discrepant: (★ thoughtful)

[personal profile] discrepant 2014-07-25 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
[He could tell she wasn't joking from the way she hasn't exactly let him go and the way she looked. There was sympathy for her as he understood the demonic temptations an individual can feel is very powerful. Of course he would know as he felt firsthand that very same temptation to slaughter and harm other people without a second thought because it was his own instinct screaming for it even if it didn't surface naturally.

A defeated expression will be offered as slightly lowers his head to indicate a bow.]


I apologize. I greatly appreciate your work in not doing so.

[He really does appreciate her inner strength to keep her from wanting to devour him. For just a moment, he was contemplating in returning the favor, but he didn't know if it was a wise choice to do so. A friendship usually breaks apart from situations like this one, right? It was a difficult call to make as he didn't wish to treat Sam as he usually treated those he has used.]

Thank you very much, Grey-san. [Pause. A small thought.] ...is there anyway I could help in reducing the feeling? [No, really, he is actually curious to know if there is a way to do so.]
samantha_grey: (Sighing)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-07-25 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[She dipped her head, shuddering. She'd just been through the last in a long series of nights spent screaming, getting over the pain of purging her hormones. It wasn't that she was deeply attracted to Soushi, but it was just as he thought. He was a demon. He understood these urges.

Her claws grazed along the edges of his outfit as he spoke, just at the edges. It was a briefly affectionate set of motions, one that came with a small shudder. She was already starting to come down, but the offer hung. Did he know what they were talking about, what she meant by 'devour?']


It's just my instincts. It's nothing personal. I want to do what comes naturally to my kind. It'll fade in a minute. [She swallowed.] I'm not sure I'd forgive myself for succumbing right now. Not when I actually know what your feelings are and who they're for.
discrepant: (★ emotionless)

[personal profile] discrepant 2014-07-27 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
[As she continues to remain over him like this, he will simply remain in his place and watch her, feeling somewhat guilty over the matter as there wasn't much he can do about it. It must be difficult being related to a succumbs, of all demons to be related to. He has encountered a few of those types in his life, but luckily they were full-fledged demons than a hybrid like they were.

Even so, he will simply listen and watch Sam as he was uncertain if pushing her away will be a good idea or not at the moment. He didn't understand many of her kinks and wouldn't want to make the situation worse than needed. And having heard her remark over his feelings for Ririchiyo will leave a painful sting in his heart as it reminded him of the crime he has been desperately trying to forget. The greatest sin a servant can ever commit against their master. And no, he wasn't talking about cheating or anything without consent neither.]


...I appreciate it. [All spoken without any emotion, he was far too exhausted to act or pretend to be his previous incarnation any longer.] Take as long as you need to regain your strength. I'm still trying to gain my own... [He was still exhausted from the energy sucking kiss from earlier.] ...if you need me to do anything, however, don't be afraid to ask... [At this point, he no longer cared over his situation.]
samantha_grey: (Diffido)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-07-27 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[She shivered, her whole body quivering, head tilting up very slightly, the edges of her face showing along her hairline. Her eyes were lidded, almost closed as she spoke, more of a breathy whisper. The rasp of her damaged vocal chords was barely audible at this level.]

Anything he says... If I asked you to lie with me, would you? Even knowing what I am, even if neither of us feels that way? I have all the strength I need right now. [Her fingers tightened a fraction.] This is a different sort of strength. I can hold back, but I don't want to.

Do you hate me for that? For wanting you, wanting to use you to sate those urges even if I'm not?
discrepant: (★ hollow smile)

[personal profile] discrepant 2014-07-27 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Hearing her admit all of her feelings concerning her demonic urges, it reminded him greatly of the way he currently felt about himself. The only difference is -- he doesn't have uncontrollable sexual urges as she does. He already knows that she feels pain from keeping her other self under complete control due to the runes on her body. Those aspects of herself, he can never fully understand and would be unfair to have him pretend to do so.

He'll have to make it perfectly clear, doesn't he?]


No. I cannot loath you for it. As you have expressed beforehand, you are in no need attracted to me and these current urges are all part of your demonic history, nothing more. How can I dislike someone who is straight-forward about herself over the matter?

[No. Sam has proven to be a good friend to him. Someone he can trust and someone he felt can understand his own struggles. That's why he is going to speak his mind over the matter. Breaking character, just this once and allowing his true self speak what he has been holding back.]

If we would have met a year before meeting her or weren't friends and comrades, then a situation like this wouldn't matter to me. I enjoy being of use to others as....it is all I am good for. To be of use, no matter in which matter it is, never mattered to me. The only reason I haven't offered my consent to do whatever you please has more to do with respect and affection I have for you as someone I can consider my friend.

[Then again, the biggest concern if any of those. It's really...]

Truth be told, if it weren't for your earlier remark over not wishing to fall into "succumbing", then I wouldn't mind being of use to you as a way to repay the favor. Although you are falling for your urges at this moment, I can easily tell you sincerely do not want to go through with this. [A pause.] Is my assumption correct so far?
samantha_grey: (Hello There)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-07-27 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
[What did she want? As soon as he asked, discussed that, her tightened grip grew a bit more and in her mind two voices warred. They didn't war with the kind of strength that they once had, the two voices far less at odds with each other. One of them practically lunged the instant he said that he wouldn't mind being of use to her that way.

That part wanted to fuck him. As simple as that. When her eyes came into view, it was there, written all over her features. She was hungry, and he was here, and he'd almost offered her it free. She actually licked her lips for a second.

The other voice screamed what it would do. It would complicate a perfectly normal friendship. He wasn't someone she pursued outside of raw hunger. It was hormones, not romantic attraction. The difference was important to someone who had trouble not seeing them all as meet. Her features struggled and shifted and she shuddered again.]


I'm tempted. [Her tail slid along the inside of his thigh lightly as she pressed in close.] Part of me wants to have you. Here, and now. The other part... does not want to ruin what we have, or hurt you. I'd be using you, like a peace of meat. You're a friend, someone who's helped me when others wouldn't, been through some of the most dangerous things as part of my plans.

Would... this change anything, or could it really just be a favor for a favor? You use me, and I use you this once?
discrepant: (★ cocky)

[personal profile] discrepant 2014-07-28 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[And he did notice the hunger appearing on her face, it was an expression he will slowly offer in return except the only difference is a rather nefarious smile will be found on his lips. It was an expression he hasn't used in a long time nor one he has ever given anyone in Asgard before neither. It was clear from the way she spoke, the way she fought over the matter, and the way she acted was more than enough to make the inner darkness within him appear. The same darkness that was always found in his ancestor -- the nefarious nine-tails fox demon.

He could feel the same need as she does, but it wasn't due to hormones unlike her. The idea to ravish her and have his own way out of raw need was basically an instinct he wished to follow without further discussion. He was angry. Furious. Enraged. Filled with passionate fury against the world before him, his fate back in his world, and mainly he was livid with himself. They were emotions that were kept well hidden from everyone that knows him. Soushi was never the type to show his more terrifying sides to him as he found showing such emotions to only belong to sore losers, not people like him, who weren't considered victors neither. No. It was different. Quite different. Only those who have gone through his same experiences would fully understand him. Only those who place others before themselves, and only those who hide their true emotions from others would understand.

When he felt the tail between his legs, he could feel the fire within him roar even if his expression won't offer any reaction to the feeling instead he will keep his gaze deep set on Sam, it was an intense stare that showed only darkness and even amusement of her questions. His own tails will begin to reach for the other demon as well. One wrapping around a foot, another lightly stroking her own thigh, another will begin to touch the side of her cheeks, and a final one will begin to lightly trace a line over her figure as faintly as it can.]


Hurt me? Change anything? [A dark chuckle will escaped his dim eyes as they continue to watch her closely.] Grey-san, do you hold such a low opinion of myself? [Then again.] You should hold it. Believe it, even. I am no longer the same individual you've always known. If you ever knew me to begin with, that is.

[With that said, he will lean in closer to her, but will stop shortly and decide to whisper into her ear (after using the tail that was lightly touching her cheek and using it to forcefully bring her closer)]

Repaying a favor for a favor is more than enough. This will all be forgotten the moment we're finished. And it won't change anything on my end. I have no shame referring to myself as a tool or dog, so please do keep it in mind at all times. [But in the end of the day, the only thing he'll say is.] If you hold no shame as I do, then you may do whatever you wish to me. I'll follow your lead and offer the same amount of "care" and "attention" as you do. That is how I work. [In other words, he is asking her "to make it count and as painful as she can", if she does go through with it.]
samantha_grey: (Demon Grin)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-07-29 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Her whole body shuddered when he looked at her like that. She actually looked afraid, though it was of her reactions instead of his. It was a bare thing that allowed her to let him finish speaking. Every once in a while, her whole body shuddered, looking increasingly like it was taking everything she had not to lunge, to shut him up and eat.

Finally, he finished. She swallowed and her eyes closed, no shivers coming. Her lips moved and words barely came out.]


I am a mangy filthy slut that feeds on others. I'm tired of pretending every day. I don't want to today. Hold still and curl your tails around me.

[She reached to help pull them around as her body dropped from his grip, slipping to her knees. Her head propped against his belly to help stay aloft, she breathed heavily. Almost all of her body was wrapped and away from sight by those fluffy tails.]

I really hope you taste half as good as I've dreamed.

[And as the fur concealed her head, the scene...

faded to black]
