Who: Nox and Fisher
What: Avoiding being responsible
Where: Nox's office
When: Midday
Rating: PG

Arriving at TJS, Fisher debated going right to Lyle's apartment, but... no. He wasn't ready yet. He wasn't ready to meet some kid that was supposed to be his brother, or to allow someone else into his screwy family, or to have to face Lyle after the big announcement of his engagement. He wasn't ready for any of that. So he went somewhere that he could hide. He went to go see Nox.

Over the years his memory had come back to him, and things between himself and the demon had returned to normal. Which meant that Fisher didn't knock when he entered, and he greeted Nox with a shy but sincere "Hi mommy."

Who: Nox and Linc
Where: The sports bar
When: Tuesday evening
What: A date!!! manly men hanging out.

Lincoln had not been nervous in his life. Fearful, yes, worried and concerned yes. Never this anxious knot in the pit of his stomach, worrying how he looked or what his breath smelt like. Drawing in a breath he met Nox at the parking lot... beautiful Nox, with that strong physique and tender smile. It weirded Linc out to know that he thought of another man like this but the need and desire far outweighed any awkwardness that he felt for being attracted to a man.

The car ride over was basically either silence or asking Nox about everything to do with his life. He changed the subject when it came to wife and kids, not liking the jealous rise in the pit of his stomach or the ideas he had to get rid of them. That wasn't the type of man Nox needed, not at all. Reluctantly he let it slide and parked up iin front of a nice bar. Not a drive, certainly, because Nox deserved the best, but the demon's favourite sporting bar. It was good inside too, smelt of nice alcohol. Needed alcohol.

"What's your poison?"

Who: Nox and Belle
When: Friday
Where: their apartment
What: Nox breaks the news.

( Nox felt bad for hurting Belle, he really did. He was still himself in terms of being a decent man. He cheated on his wife. He was aware of that. It was wrong, but what he felt for Ana was too strong to ignore. )

Who: Nox, Ana, and Ava the intruder!
When: Thursday night
Where: Ana's apartment
What: Ava walks in on the literally love sick pair.

Nox and Ana had actually passed out a few times over the course of twenty-four hours. Given they couldn't seem to stop having sex, not even for Nox to eat, it was surprising he hadn't fallen into some sort of coma! He'd gotten several drinks of water at least, just to stay hydrated, because Ana had fed on him a few times. But other than that, they stopped for next to nothing.

He'd lost count of just how many times they'd each climaxed, of which surfaces of her apartment they'd utilized, of the hour and date. It was all a blur. Nox could barely remember his own name right about now. All he could think about was Ana. She was not only the center of his universe, she was the universe. All of it.

Somehow they'd ended up on the kitchen floor. Had they come to get food? Maybe. Whip cream? Sounded more likely. Anything to keep this going. "I'm never leaving this apartment," he whispered in her ear as he thrust into her for what was surely the ten millionth time. His pace was slow and somewhat weak, because he was running on fumes at this point. The fatigue made it harder to process the world around him, so he'd not even heard the knock at the door or the latch releasing a few seconds later.

Who: Nox and Ana
When: Wednesday night
Where: Beginning in the Responsible Feeding classroom then Ana's apartment
What: “I think there’s something there that wasn’t there before...”
Rating: Adult content within. Proceed at your own risk.

( Something was different in class today, but he couldn't put his finger on it. )

Who: Lupe and Nox
When: Evening
Where: Around campus
What: Nox is playing tour guide!
Note: INCOMPLETE

Who: Malakai and Nox
When: Evening to next morning
Where: Nox's office
What: Mal is bored as hell and decides to invade the turf of a demon for sport.
Note: Drunken hilarity ensues. We started this OOC, but decided to keep it, so please forgive bad formatting.

( Plus, you're like me. Uptight. Figured we could loosen up a bit. )

Who: Lily and Nox
What: A reunion with a new face
Where: First his office, then who knows
When: Mid-afternoon
Rating: PG most likely


Since it seemed that she was going to be around here for awhile, it made sense to Lily to try and have some kind of social life that didn't revolve totally around Rez. After all, she had promised Adam that she would try not to steal his uncle's attention all the time, and that was a hard promise to keep when she had nothing else to occupy her time. Plus, as much as she hated to admit it, she had missed Nox. Nox was stable, he was quiet and understanding and put up with an awful lot of shit from her when she'd been a boy. And maybe she loved him, too, but whatever. That wasn't the relevant part.

Wearing one of Rez's tee shirts, one of his sweatshirts, and quite possibly one of his pairs of jeans, Lily looked adorably rumpled as she made her way to Nox's office. Her hair was behaving itself for the moment, staying black, but she was pretty sure that she was chubbier than she had been this morning (hence Rez's clothing). But that might have been "water weight", or hormones, or some other girly curse that completely sucked. It was impossible to know.

She paused at the door, sucking in a deep breath before grabbing the handle and going inside. Maybe Nox would hate the way she looked now. She knew that Fisher looked pretty pathetic, which was probably why he'd gotten away with so much shit, but she didn't know how she looked now. Rez thought she was pretty, but Rez was weird. Maybe to the rest of the world she was one weird looking chick. "H-hey," she said nervously to the man behind the desk, shutting the door quietly behind her. "Um... so yeah. Me."

Who: Nox and Ana
When: Wednesday night
Where: her apartment
What: drinking!

Ana seemed to be down on herself and a little lost. She'd been keeping people at bay for so long, that it was difficult to cope with how close some of them had become recently. She wasn't ready to lose someone else she cared about, but it was a risk that was impossible to avoid. She needed to let go of those fears and simply enjoy the present. That's what Nox was trying to do. He knew he wouldn't have an eternity with Belle, but there would hopefully be many more happy years, and he planned to enjoy them all. Ana would have to learn to do the same thing. If her heart belonged to Adam, then so be it. It wasn't designed to last, but it was good right now, and that was what she needed to focus on.

But she could think about all that later. Right now, he was happy to provide a distraction. He understood what it was like. Nox couldn't say that he'd never turned to alcohol as an escape from reality. And human liquor just didn't do the trick. Ana was sure to appreciate the Hell liquor he had left over from the wedding. His father had brought several bottles. A few vanished with Hesper, but Nox kept some for himself. He carried one over to Ana's building and knocked lightly on her door.

Who: Nox and Belle
When: Sunday night
Where: their apartment
What: they’re having a baby and FREAKING OUT!

Nox and Belle had hardly moved. Honestly, they could barely manage to get out of bed for a small bit of food and water and occasional trips to the bathroom, many of them made for the purpose of vomiting. But while being sick was strange, what was happening to Belle was even more curious. Even though she couldn’t keep food down, she really wanted to eat. Eating was something she only did socially, because her body didn’t require it. It seemed the food she was able to keep down was causing her to fill out as well. By the time Charlie came to see them Sunday morning with a much needed cure, Belle had a bit of a gut, and when Nox was feeling a little better, he noticed her breasts had grown some as well.

As the medicine brought them back from the brink of death, and they slowly rebounded throughout the day, much of their time was spent cleaning up around the apartment. The place was a HAZMAT site from all the vomiting and poor hygiene. Nox insisted on washing everything, and he even took two showers.

Eventually, Nox felt like he and the apartment were tolerable, and he settled down on the sofa, stretching his legs out along its length. “I really hope classes are canceled tomorrow. Even though we’ve spent days in bed, I’m exhausted.”

Who: Belle and Nox.
What: Getting very ill.
Where: Their apartment.
When: Friday evening, a little after eight.

Belle had not been feeling so great for the last few days, nauseous and actually tired sometimes, which was not normal for the elemental since she didn't even really need to sleep at night, but for the last couple of weeks she felt like she did. Her amazing husband however had been looking after her, even coping with her food choices when she couldn't stand the thought or smell of something tonight, but somehow together they cooked up a lovely meal anyway.

They were sitting on the sofa, watching a movie together when the elemental shivered. Odd, she was sure neither of them had turned the heating down, she shouldn't be cold, Belle mused in her head. Oh well, just a good excuse to snuggle up closer to Nox, except that didn't quite go to plan either. When she sat up to wriggle in closer an almightly wave of nausea hit her, and she could feel the 'lovely' dinner coming back up. Belle barely made it to the nearest bathroom before vomiting everything she had managed to eat that day and collapsing against the wall. She felt awful!

Who: Nox and June
When: Friday afternoon
Where: out on the grounds near the stables
What: a chat

After Nox wrapped up his office hours on Friday, he quickly changed into some workout clothes and went for a run. It was his normal Friday routine. Nox was a big fan of routines, which most people knew. He had three different routes that he alternated. Today's was a loop around the entire school, with a trip through the woods (he liked the crunch of the leaves, or snow as was the case today).

Belle wanted him all to herself for the weekend, but this was his time to clear his head of the week's stresses so he could focus entirely on her. Nox didn't want any distractions to occupy his mind while his wife helped him celebrate his birthday. He visualized all his problems being burned like calories in his body as he ran, pushing his body harder each time his muscles started to protest.

But it wasn't his tired muscles that caused him to slow down as he rounded the stables. Nox spotted someone walking oddly, her posture indicating she was sniffing the air. He jogged over to investigate, and that's when he recognized the young woman from a photo he'd seen of her. "Hello, June," Nox said in a slightly winded voice. He came to a stop, knowing that was a bad idea, because cramps might set in, but it seemed rude to jog lightly in place while holding a conversation. "I'm Nox. It's a pleasure to finally meet you."

Who: Nox and Belle
When: Sunday afternoon
Where: their bungalow in Bora Bora
What: HONEYMOON!
Rating: definitely some XXX action at some point, duh!

Getting to Bora Bora was an adventure in itself. It took forever, and both Nox and Belle had napped several times along the way. Multiple flights, shuttles, and even a water taxi were all involved. He hoped the complexity was worth it, but then again, how could it not be? He was on his honeymoon!

It felt good to get away. The newlywed phase hit a road block just days after the wedding, when Nox suddenly didn't remember being married. He also had the body of a teenager. And while plenty of people had commented that Belle had such a body herself, she was a grown woman, and it would have been wrong had anything happened between the two of him while trapped in that mental and physical state. The moment he was returned to normal, he kissed her, grateful to remember everything and be with his wife again.

Nox hadn't really stopped kissing her ever since. He wanted to treasure every moment spent with Belle. That's why the moment they arrived at their bungalow, he decided there would be no napping, even though he was exhausted from traveling. Still, he couldn't resist collapsing on the bed after setting down all their luggage. It was soft and delightful. "Seeing as how there's all that water out there, you really have no choice but to join me," he teased. "Much safer on the bed."

Who: Nox and Godric
What: Drinking!
When: Thursday evening
Where: A bar someplace
Rating: TBD (sorry ladies, no sexiness)


Riding in a cab with Nox, going out drinking with one another... it made Godric feel young, in both a good and a bad way. Here he was, making stupid mistakes and hurting people he cared about, drinking on a weeknight, his life filled with unexpected and soul-crushing angst... it seemed so adolescent. He was beginning to not be entirely sure that he'd taken an antidote to the spell at all.

But it would be fine. Nox was a good friend, and he was a calming presence, and he would be a good listening ear if Godric felt the need to speak. He very much hoped he wouldn't, but the option was there and that in itself was a comfort. Wesley was a fine listener, but he had a habit of getting a little too involved in the story, and often he ended up hitting the vampire because he couldn't believe "what an idiot" he was.

"I wish I had known as a teenager that I would be coming back to this life," he mused idly, watching out the window as the world passed by. "If I had known that regardless of what I did during the duration of the spell I would turn back into who I am now... I think I might have been more... I don't know, adolescent. I didn't have a chance the first time." Turning his head to look at Nox, the vampire quirked an eyebrow. "What about you? Do you think you might cut loose a bit, if given the chance again?"

Who: The newlyweds! AKA Belle and Nox
What: Surprise! Your husband is now a teenager!
Where: Their apartment
When: Wednesday evening.
Note: INCOMPLETE!!! Emily, your turn ;)

Belle wasn’t expecting Nox to be home at this point, since he’d normally be going along to the feeding class, but with that cancelled they had even more time together. So, you ask, what were the newlywed couple doing with this extra time? They were reading. Well, Nox was reading. Belle was sitting on the floor, with her students’ work spread out all around her, apparently marking it, but she kept getting distracted by anything and everything, until eventually she decided what they really needed was wine, and she volunteered to go out and get some. Anything to not do the marking she should

It wasn’t too long until Belle was letting herself back into the apartment, the bottle in one hand, purse clutched in her teeth, and key in her hand. Apparently it was long enough though, because the person in the apartment was not the man she knew and loved. Hell, he wasn’t even really a man. Her purse fell to the floor as she stared in shock. “Uh...Nox? What.... uh...wow...” That about summed it up.

Who: Nox and Belle (and all wedding guests, which is most of the charas in game)
When: Friday night
Where: The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
What: their wedding, FINALLY!
Note: EVERYONE is welcome to join in the fun. Normal group thread rules apply. Post the who/when in the subject line and have at it. If you have questions about the set up or location, just ask!

It was a cold night, but the sky was clear without a threat of snow. Nox wouldn't have minded. He liked snow, and it would have been a beautiful sight to behold from within the massive glass room. Still, the twinkle lights on the bare trees that adorned the courtyard were lovely. They added a touch of magic that would have otherwise been missing.

Who: Fisher, Lyle and Nox (Charlie briefly)
What: Early Morning Meeting
Where: Nox’s office, then his apartment
When: Around 2am Friday
Rating: PG

It had been an insanely long flight, and Fisher was exhausted. But Lyle... he couldn’t tell with Lyle. There was nothing to tell. All Eight hours of the flight, Fisher had stared at his brother, trying to figure out what this was, what was happening, what he could do. There had only been one clear thing for him to do, and that was to find Nox Alekos. And he didn't remember much about the man, but he did remember where he was. And it was most ironic that the last place Fisher had wanted to go was exactly where he needed to be.

The security people hadn't been as surprised to see the Majors brothers as perhaps they should have been. Fisher didn't recognize any of them, but that was no surprise. All of them seemed to recognize him, though, which was unnerving. But they were nice at least, calling to Nox's apartment to have him come to the security office and pick them up, offering coffee, and such. It almost made Fisher relax.
Almost.

(  Lyle and Fisher in his office. The Majors brothers back at TJS. Fuck. )

Who: Nox and Belle
When: Sunday night
Where: their apartment
What: Nox is welcomed home by an unpleasant surprise

Nox was very much looking forward to a night in with his fiancee. The last week had been stressful. He and Ana still weren't on normal terms. They were both acting overly professional around one another, really only talking when it was required, the rest of the time they avoided conversation and close physical proximity. It was all so awkward, and he could tell she still wanted space, so he granted it.

Having needed to get some paperwork done, and finding it easier to do so in his office, Nox spent much of the afternoon and evening away from the apartment. Eventually, he grew tired of work and decided play was far better. Nox expected to be greeted by his enchanting fiancee when he finally made his way back to his staff building, but he didn't expect that greeting to take place in hallways. Her picture was everywhere, and what was worse, was the man with her in the pictures. Belle knew Saul, the man who had made Nox's trip to New York City absolutely dreadful. But she didn't just know him, it seemed she was intimate with him.

Trying to avoid feelings of jealousy or judgment, because he didn't know anything about the circumstances surrounding those photos, he made a somewhat slow trek to their apartment. The shadow demon was quiet as he opened the door and set down his keys and messenger bag beside it. He'd asked Belle to wait up for him, but now he was half hoping she hadn't. He wasn't sure he wanted to know the story behind the pictures just yet, but the more time he had to make up scenarios in his head, the more upset he became. Surely he'd feel better when she clarified things.
