Who: Emerson, Eterna, and Allison with a chance of Kenzi!
Where: Eterna's Home
When: Week 2, Thursday Evening
Why: Emerson told Allison that he and Eterna play Scrabble every other Thursday, and he aims to prove that Emerson DeWitt never tells a lie.
Warning: Language, The Eterna Factor, discussion of slavery, TBA

Emerson flicked a cigarette butt somewhere into the woods that surrounded Eterna's mansion, sure to extinguish it lest he be responsible for the second, greatest forest fire to ever grace Crescent Hills' history. As he jogged up to the front steps, the Scrabble board game tucked under one arm, yawned, cracking his neck before knocking loudly on the front door. He was clad in the appropriate attire for the occasion, which just so happened to be the hobo-chic attire he wore to nearly every occasion.

Part of him was kind of curious to see how Eterna's new addition handled herself. Contrary to popular belief, he didn't hate the vampire. It was actually the opposite. He had fun being around her because she was the most entertaining person to, well, torment with splendor that was Emerson DeWitt. He imagined it wasn't quite the same for those she actually purchased to be her slaves. Maybe he'd be able to at least give them a little break, though he imagined it would be worse if he actually beat their mistress at the game.

Allison was in the sitting room, kneeling on the floor next to Eterna's chair, and waiting on her next order. Her chin rested on Eterna's thigh as she waited, her eyes half closed - for the length of time she'd been sitting there, she was drifting off to sleep - when there was a knock at the door. She glanced at Eterna, knowing the other slaves were out running errands, and she and Kenzi were the only ones home.

Saying nothing, she stood up, moving to the front door, and opened it, staring at Emerson for a few moments, rudely, before looking down.

"I guess you're looking for her." She shrugged. Leading the way, she went back to the sitting room, her stomach sinking, knowing she was expected to behave with someone else around. "...Mistress." She spat out. "Someone to see you."

Eterna looked up as Allison re-entered the room with Emerson in tow, she did not show her disdain for her slaves behaviour but made a mental note to reprimand her later.

"Emerson, darling, how lovely to see you" Eterna smiled charmingly, she had always quite liked the guy. He was interesting, laid back and quirky. Most importantly though he was not a threat to her in the slightest. She did not know the reason for his visit but she was sure she would find out shortly.

	Kenzi stood closet to her master after Allison went to get the door. Rolling her eyes at the way Allison did it, causing trouble for herself for now reason. Kenzi would always stand by her friend but didn't mean she had to like the behavior she showed. She kept her head high as her masters guest walked in. "Can I get anything for either of you?"

Emerson followed the girl who opened the door, noting the other one who greeted him when he was led into the sitting room. Allison must've been the one, making the other girl Kenzi. Mentally noted.

"Eterna, looking lovely as always," he replied with a charming grin that lacked his usual, lazy sarcasm. "If you have any bourbon, I'll take a glass, thanks," the witch replied to Kenzi.

He held up the board game he'd had tucked under his arm. "Hope you're ready to lose."

Allison raised an eyebrow at Emerson - they'd talked a little about him playing Scrabble with her, but she'd never assumed it was something that actually happened. She glanced over at Kenzi, seeing her disapproval, and sighing, frustrated that she felt relatively alone around the people in the room, and she knelt next to Eterna again, not wanting to look up at any of them.

"You brought the Scrabble game?" She asked, confused.

Eterna chuckled, she was certainly amused at the prospect of playing scrabble with him and wondered how he had come to this decision. It would appear Allison had something to do with it.

"Darling, I never lose and you know that" she says smoothly, she was a very competitive person after all and so was always up for a challenge. For a start she had far more years on Emerson and so her vocabulary and spelling most likely far outranked his.

	Kenzi nodded at the masters request. She moved over to the bar, making him a large drink and taking it over to him. She held it out and stayed by his side as Allison was back with their mistress. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Of course I brought Scrabble. Did you think I was kidding?" Emerson replied to Allison, not bothering with addressing either her or Kenzi like a Master probably should. He'd never commanded much respect from anyone, slave or master, and he wasn't about to start now. Accepting the drink from Kenzi, he took a sip.

"Joke's on you, then. I get smarter when I'm drunk," he answered Eterna with another grin. "I can't smoke in here, can I?"

"I wasn't sure." She said shyly, glancing at him, and blushing slightly. He seemed laid back, which was a nice change - someone who wouldn't speak to them like they were dirt was a rarity in itself, and she silently hoped he won, just to wipe the smirk off her face. She lifted a hand to Eterna's leg, pawing at her slightly, and cleared her throat. "Do you want us to leave?" Please She thought silently - at least if Eterna was busy, she'd leave them alone.

"I would really rather you didn't smoke in here, the smell is repugnant to say the least" Eterna said with obvious distaste for the notion of smoking, with her superiors senses it truly was a vile concoction.

"No, Allison, stay. Someone has to make sure that Emerson isn't cheating and fetch us alcohol and blood" Eterna scowled at the girl, she really was an annoyance right now. She did note the blush on her cheeks though, it would appear that Allison rather liked her guest.

	Kenzi tried to hide her smile as her master told her guest off about his smoking. Keeping he eyes on her masters, but staying close to the other man in case he needed anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Emerson scowled jokingly when Eterna nixed his hope for being able to smoke, looking for a minute like a petulant child who'd just been told to dump out all their cigarettes by a parent. He shrugged it off in less than a second, however. He was used to most people being less than supportive of his obviously addictive habit.

"While I could use my powers for good and magic the smell away, I'm torn between being wounded that you assume I might cheat and hurt that you think I smell," he replied, with an exaggerated huff.

"Why? I'm sure you have Kenzi for that." Allison's tone was a little on the frosty side, that wouldn't serve well for her, she was sure, but she quickly looked up at Emerson, biting her lip so she didn't laugh at his petulance.

"I don't think you'd cheat or smell, sir. But it's not my decision to make." She moved over to Emerson's side, sitting close to him, her hands resting on his thigh. She glanced over at Kenzi, apologetic for getting frustrated with her - she was sure things would be better for her if she acted like Kenzi, but she wouldn't to it to herself. At least, sitting with Emerson, she'd be able to piss Eterna off a little. She could already sense her irritation rising.

"I don't think you smell, I know you do" Eterna said pointedly but with a trace of humour in her eyes, a humour that quickly faded as Allison interrupted her once again.

"I suggest you shut up before I become inclined to muzzle you, pet" Eterna said in a dangerous sweet tone as she smiled at Allison. A muzzling would be the least she would do if she continued to embarrass her in this way. Humiliation was looking like the appropriate punishment for her and Eterna's mind was already concocting a scenario out on her head.

	Kenzi looked from one person too the next, the comments coming from her master making her want to laugh but she did not. She was not even sure if she was needed that but she stay for the fact that she was not told to leave. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Emerson did little more than raise an eyebrow as Allison came to sit next to him. He smirked slightly at her hand on his thigh, impressed that the girl would do something like that in front of Eterna of all people. He kind of feared for what it meant her life as a slave was like in that house.

"Aw, can she stay here just for the game, Eterna? She smells nice, and maybe, if we're very lucky, it'll mask my odor," he went on casually. He'd rather give the girl a break for the time he was here, but it had to be a permission granted him by Allison's Mistress. He wasn't near stupid enough to go crossing Eterna of all people.

	Allison swallowed hard - out of anything, she hadn't had that happen to her, especially around someone she didn't know, and so she quickly lowered her head, pressing it against the material of the chair Emerson was sitting on. She watched as Kenzi left the room, feeling more alone all of a sudden. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well then, shall we play? I'm itching to humiliate you again" Eterna smirked and sipped her glass of blood. She was keeping a close eye on Allison, her quitening down at the mention of the muzzle was rather pleasing. She stored that for later use against her pet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"And you know me. I'm itching to be humiliated again," Emerson replied with a crooked yet disarming smile. He usually lost the game genuinely. After all, every genius had a fatal flaw, and his happened to be his creative spelling. If only he combine the dictionary that was his brain with the ability to spell most of the words in it.

Emerson looked down at Allison, not letting his face reflect that he did feel for her in her situation. He did smile, though. He'd never been one to treat slaves like their masters did. If they had a problem with him being nice, he'd settle for ignoring them over acting like a dick.

"You gotta wish me luck. I suck at this game. Eterna's beat every time so far," he remarked to the girl. "And she accuses me of cheating."

	"I'm not sure I should wish you luck. I don't think she'd be too happy with me if I did." Allison said quietly, but still managing a smile for the man. "I'm sure you'll both do perfectly fine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	piercedveil 2013-10-22 06:54 pm UTC (link)
	"You may as well wish him luck, pet, he will need all the luck he can get and it still won't make the slightest bit of difference" Eterna chuckled as she took her tiles out of the bag because Emerson was taking to long to start. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dusttoashes 2013-10-22 07:08 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, I wouldn't bet on me if I were you," Emerson replied with a sigh, emptying his own bag of tiles and setting them up. "She doesn't allow 'close enough' when it comes to spelling." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shackledargent 2013-10-22 07:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Then good luck." She nodded, leaning up to kiss Emerson's cheek, wanting to show Eterna she could be nice - just not necessarily to her. "I'll hope you win." She crouched down again, resting against Emerson again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Eterna studied her letters: N, L, D, E, K, S and I for a few minutes before a smile curled around her lips and she made her first move - the word 'slinked', using all 7 tiles and getting a double letter score on the K. It was a decent move that gave her 84 points which was not to be sniffed at really.

She looked up at Emerson with a smirk and took 7 more tiles from the bag.

"Your turn, darling" she lent back, observing the two. It was interesting to see how her slave interacted with Emerson, at least she was behaving herself.

Emerson smiled at Allison for the good luck, taking a long look at his own letters before he noticed Eterna placing hers. He stared at the board, narrowing his eyes before looking back up at Eterna.

"And you say I'm the cheater. How the fuck?" he swore, looking at his own tiles. R, F, X, L, B, A, and Q. Shrugging, he set the tiles down to spell "bald" with the last letter using her D. "I'm gonna need some more luck looks like."
