Who: Melanie and Triton (perhaps Ky if she wants to stop by later? XD) When: Thursday afternoon, April 7, 2011 Where: Triton's apartment Warnings/rating: TBD
There was a bounce in her step as she skipped to Triton's apartment. Since been given Hades' pendant which she wore around her neck she felt more like herself. There wasn't a worry that Poseidon would follow her or that gloomy sense of being watched. The smile was back on her face, something that had near lost to the events that had occurred since she'd moved from Japan to New York.
She tapped on Triton's door with a bag of Swedish Fish to give as a present. She didn't want to feel like she was paying tribute or something to the son of a god, which for a moment she wondered if it would appear that way. She was jostled out of thought when he opened the door. She grinned hugging him tightly before even coming inside. It's like a text adventure, except with midgets. Ads by Project Wonderful!

[info]wreathed_horn 2011-04-07 07:46 pm UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select He hadn't expected Mel, but when she'd all but thrown himself into his arms and hugged her when he'd opened the door he smiled and returned the hug. He would never think she brought him tribute, nor would he ask for it. It didn't feel right.
He held her for a long time before releasing her with a kiss and guiding her inside. "This is a nice surprise." He hoped his sister wouldn't pop her head in and make Mel feel uncomfortable. "How are you?"

[info]the_birds 2011-04-08 02:11 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select After Triton had stayed over at her place the other night and having a busy week at the zoo they worked at she'd hardly seen him. "I just wanted to see you," she smiled returning his kiss and giving him the candy. "For you!"

[info]wreathed_horn 2011-04-08 02:45 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select With a laugh he took the candy, closing the door behind her. "Thank you, you didn't have to do that. Smiling he moved into the kitchen to set the candy aside. "I'm glad you came. I have missed you."

[info]the_birds 2011-04-08 03:42 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select She giddily kissed him on the cheek before taking off her jacket and handing it to him to put where he wanted. She didn't want to just throw her stuff around when she knew he lived with someone else. She didn't want to disrespect his sister.
"It's a beautiful day and I haven't seen you much all week," she poured playfully taking his hands into her own, swinging them in and out.

[info]wreathed_horn 2011-04-08 03:52 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select He hung the jacket up when she handed it to him before pulling her close as she grabbed his hands so he could set them on her waist. "No solely my fault. We've both been busy with work, and me with my family." He kissed her nose and leaned onto his table. It was nice to see her again. "Do you want a drink?"

[info]the_birds 2011-04-08 04:04 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select "How's your mom?" she asked sweetly not wanting to even bring up his father it would ruin the good mood and she didn't want to jinx what the pendant did to keep her safe.
His hands engulfed her tiny waist. Just his presence made her feel safe.

[info]wreathed_horn 2011-04-08 04:10 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select He shrugged, liking having her at eye level. Unlike his father he didn't enjoy looming over everyone. "She's managing. Seems to be doing better. Going at at least. Small favors are the best at times. Hows your sister and her baby?"

[info]the_birds 2011-04-08 04:33 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select Her own hands moved up his chest resting on his shoulders and playing with the hair on his neck. "I'm glad," she was aware how important his mother was to him---and she had to thank the woman for having the sweetest man she'd ever met.
"She's good!" her voice bounced. "She wants me to come visit next month." Her fingers curled and then straightened out against his neck.

[info]wreathed_horn 2011-04-08 04:57 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select He sighed into the touch, closing his eyes to it. She still wants to meet you, you know." He looked at her, "whenever your ready. I can ask her to come here even." Just so she wouldn't have to deal with his father.
"You should go. How far along is she now?" He liked children, having had several of his own, but he didn't want to invade into her family life.

[info]the_birds 2011-04-08 05:44 pm UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select "So I shall meet her," she couldn't hide the little bit of fear in her eyes or in her voice. "Will," she staggered off for a moment, "will your father be there?" She was hopeful he wouldn't. She felt a sigh of relief when she was given the option of his mother coming here. That would be safer. "Here," she nodded quickly.
"A few months in. I can't believe I'll be an aunt!" She was happy about it, she'd always wanted something to take care of. She'd always hoped to have children of her own someday. There was a light in her eyes that had been absent. It was then that she felt the ground tremble a bit and she frowned.
"Is that him?"

[info]wreathed_horn 2011-04-08 07:37 pm UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select He smiled at her and shook his head, "no. I'll ask her to come here. She's very nice, and could probably do with some female friends. I don't think she's been going out a lot anymore." He grinned to her happy mood at her speaking of her niece or nephew.
"I remember those moments. I was constantly on the edge of my seat the months and weeks before my daughter was born. Good thing I couldn't pace, I would have paced a hole in the bottom of the ocean." Now she knew he could tell her more of his own children. He liked to think his daughter would like her. At the tremble he sighed, "maybe. One of these days my father will anger one of the New Gods and we'll all be in trouble."

[info]the_birds 2011-04-09 03:20 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select "Is she alone?" she felt as if she could relate on that level. Since moving from Japan Melanie hardly knew anyone aside from those she worked with and Triton. "But you said she'd been doing better, is your father very mean to her?" She'd started to read stories and the more she knew the more Poseidon scared her. It sent goosebumps up her arm.
Her hands fell to rest on his chest, looking at the buttons of his shirt as if they told unknown stories. She played with one of them as he talked. "You have many children?" She had to wonder why a little unimportant thing like her was someone he wanted to hang onto in his life. A life that surpassed her own in many ways. The trembling stopped for a moment and then leveled out. The breath she'd been holding left and she looked back up nodding.

[info]wreathed_horn 2011-04-09 03:53 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select He frowned, "I don't know. She has me, but I do not think she has any friends." He gave a sad chuckle, "too afraid any woman she'd meet would catch my father's eye I suppose." He sighed, "my father is mean to everyone."
He watched her, smiling, "a daughter. Triteia. There are some minor water spirits that carried my name, but they were as children to me. It's difficult to remember sometimes. But my daughter, she was my star." He gave a long sigh, "so she decides to run off with Ares, of all people. She did as she pleased though."

[info]the_birds 2011-04-09 04:06 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select "Even to you, I notice." She couldn't remember her own father ever being mean or angry without reason. He cared for all his children, for a moment she remembered him but there was only a happy tearful expression she gave at the memory. She still didn't grasp the whole idea of all this or why she'd walked right into it. Nor did she know how long she and Triton would last. She still slipped up calling him Lane sometimes, it was what made her comfortable---and as always it seemed whenever she was comfortable something struck her down.
She liked hearing him talk about his children, it momentarily made her realize she had thought of settling down one day. Having children of her own. Would he think her strange to say she wanted children with him?

[info]wreathed_horn 2011-04-09 04:14 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select He gave a dry laugh to that, "especially me." He shook his head and smiled at her. "For some reason he likes getting under my skin, trying to prove I'm like him. I don't know why. He's had sons that were like him. Why it's so important he try and get to me I'll never know."
He kissed her then and rose, "I'd rather talk about something else. Anything else besides my father."

[info]the_birds 2011-04-09 04:18 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select She nodded at his request, blush raising to her cheeks at his softest and simplest gestures. She nuzzled his nose with her own in an Eskimo kiss. She smiled hands tugging on the collar of his shirt grabbing him into a kiss. She loved that mouth and how every time he kissed her she felt like she was the only important thing in his life. As if he treasured her.
"That better?" Another big smile.

[info]wreathed_horn 2011-04-09 04:23 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select Smiling his fingers slipped to her back and under her shirt, pulling her close. "Hm. Almost." Smiling he leaned down to kiss her again, always relishing the simple opportunity to do just that.

[info]the_birds 2011-04-09 04:30 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select Her breath caught in her throat as he surprised her with his hands, grinning madly at the touch. She teased him with a simple little nip on his bottom lip.
She pulled away for a moment, giving quick kisses as she couldn't stay away from his mouth.
"Are we alone?" she asked letting her own fingers ghost over his neck.

[info]wreathed_horn 2011-04-09 04:49 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select He leaned down to set his lips on her throat, figuring if his sister was at home she would have interrupted by now. His sister was never subtle.
He let his lips trail down her skin, his fingers pushing up her spine. "Seems so."

[info]the_birds 2011-04-09 04:59 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select Melanie giggled softly her fingers sliding into his hair and tugging lightly at his soft touches. She felt a little like a teenager again. Her eyes fluttered closed goosebumps pimpling her skin.
"Good," she said softly into his ear leaning into him and whatever direction he wished to take---though she was ready to wrap her legs around him without ever leaving this room.
The further his lips went the softer her voice became. It was the first time she'd really slipped out his real name in a whisper while being fairly intimate. Yet, there it was, 'Triton' on the tip of her tongue near breathless at getting to be close to him. She'd really missed him this week.

[info]wreathed_horn 2011-04-09 05:11 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select The sound of his name under her breath made him set his fingers into her hair, kissing her deeply. When he drew back he led her into his room, locking the door behind her before going back to kissing her.

[info]the_birds 2011-04-09 05:23 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select She'd hardly caught her breath once in his room before his lips were on her again. Now would be a terrible time for interruption because in a few minutes she was completely engrossed in him and they way he made her feel.
Melanie could feel her heart thump against her throat as she stepped back walking backward to his bed with her eyes locked on him.

[info]waveranging 2011-04-09 05:33 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select Kymopoleia and locks had a long sordid history, one that involved her disliking them intensely unless she was the one employing them. So lock-picking had been an early learned skill in America and a useful one for when she didn't have copies made of keys.
The lock on Triton's door was easy though. It was just a standard issue indoor lock and wasn't made for keeping out anyone who really wanted to get in that badly.
She pushed the door open with her foot, a lollipop hanging from her lips and a stolen school uniform barely cladding her. From there she smirked at the girl, leaning against the doorframe.

[info]wreathed_horn 2011-04-09 05:58 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select Triton had been happily lost in the kiss, his hands running up and down Mel's back and finding their way under her shirt. But then his door had opened and his head shot up and his hands lowered.
"Kymopoleia," he straightened to keep Mel somewhat protected by his larger form, keeping one arm around her waist. "the reason I lock my door is so you don't come in. I give you your privacy."

[info]the_birds 2011-04-09 11:48 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select There was dissapointment and sudden embarrassment in that moment as her and Triton were interrupted. This wasn't exactly how she wanted to meet his sister. She was also somewhat annoyed as this had been the first time she'd really gotten to see him all week and she had been thoroughly enjoying it.
Luckily she wasn't any less clothed and both of them had no dignity lost before the invasion. She peeked over Triton's shoulder to see this sister of his before laying her forehead against his chest with a sigh.

[info]waveranging 2011-04-10 01:48 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select Ky smiled at her brother innocently, twirling the lollipop in hand. "Did I ever ask for privacy, big brother?" Then she looked past him to the girl and asked Triton, "aren't you going to introduce us?"
(Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)
[info]wreathed_horn 2011-04-10 01:59 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select He sighed. Kymopoleia was her father's daughter through and through. He swore she lived to annoy him. He stepped aside, one arm around Mel but so the two could see each other. "Asked or not, I still offer it to you. I don't interrupt when you're entertaining guests." He glanced to Mel, giving her an apologetic smile, "sorry. This is my sister Kymopoleia. Ky, this is Mel, my girlfriend."
[info]the_birds 2011-04-10 03:18 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select When Triton moved she didn't know what to expect. Shyly she gave Kymopoleia a soft smile and a hello. There was a small wave that followed, but she wasn't sure what to think. She was embarrassed and that much showed on her cheeks.
Stepping forward, Melanie boldly grabbed her courage to give a proper handshake as a greeting.
"Nice to meet you."

[info]waveranging 2011-04-10 04:07 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select Kymopoleia looked at the hand that had been offered to her and then back up to the mortal girl's face, unimpressed. "She's quaint, brother," Ky said to him although her eyes were still on the girl. She was happy to pretend however that she was a simple animal who couldn't understand their speech.

[info]wreathed_horn 2011-04-10 06:19 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select He sighed, not wanting to exclude Mel out of the conversation. But he knew his kin. Mortals weren't looked on highly. "I like quaint." He smiled at Mel, "my sister wouldn't know polite if it smacked her. I assure you, she's happy to meet you."

[info]the_birds 2011-04-10 10:43 pm UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select Melanie pulled her hand backing away giving a half smile. She nodded looking back to Triton and positioning herself back against his protective arm.
She couldn't help but look over the other womans attire which was a lot more provocative. "How do you pronounce your name again?" she asked trying to start some conversation.

[info]waveranging 2011-04-12 09:23 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select Kymopoleia looked at the girl for a long moment, eyes boring into hers, and then flicked them back to her brother. "So this is your type, huh?" she asked him before giving Mel the once over again. "Country girl appeal, I suppose?" She scrunched up her face. "You and dad share the desire for virginal types."

[info]wreathed_horn 2011-04-13 03:23 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select He let out a long breath and set his hands on Mel's shoulders, letting her know she had him and his support. "That's enough sister. I won't have you talk about Mel as if she isn't here, much less insult her." He glanced to Mel, "come on, let's go grab a bite to eat." They'd have time alone and he could always go to her place.

[info]the_birds 2011-04-13 03:35 am UTC (link) DeleteFreezeScreenTrack This Select There was that same uncomfortable presence as Ky mentioned Poseidon. She looked up to Triton for a moment before his hands laid on her calming down the way her heart started to race.
She wasn't a 'virginal' type as the girl insisted, but she wasn't trashy either, she was genuinely a good natured girl that had just stumbled into this twisted world of gods and immortals.
She nodded grabbing her coat from the bed letting him lead them away. She could feel Ky's eyes on her back like they were burning holes. Between her and Poseidon she felt as if this family didn't want her around.
