Another day, another mob (Scarlet)

[Scarlet Cross]

Scarlet glared at the crimson ring, thinking about it just disappearing. Then poof. It was gone. "OH! YAY!" Scarlet smiled a bright and dazzling smile. The first real smile of the night. She supposed, that maybe she was becoming more comfortable with Linx. "I wish i could create things besides fire. Dont get me wrong i really love my fire. i mean... REALLY. I like to set fire to spirits in the underworld." Scarlet laughed, her face bright and her voice musical. "The smell.... very unpleasant. Still funny though. Excpecially when they think they can take you." her grin never faded, showing her shiny teeth.

"Linx, im a complicated person. I want to be loved and cared for, By someone at least a little like me. Handsome, sweet and caring. Mostly with a little dark side. I like that. Must be taller and stronger than me, to make me feel safe......" her deep eyes were staring up at the ceiling. "Almost the same style, likes things i do.... Oh! im sorry... im rambling arent i? Sorry, ive had a long time to think about what i want.." Her cheeks blushed and she turned bright red. Scarlet ruffled her hair, the sweet angel scent mixing with the slight spicy demon smell. Her own personal perfume. Soon she knew that it would get stronger, and going down to the underworld would cause a problem. She would be... In heat so to say and then men would flock to her. Scarlet shuddered at the thought. "Damn my womaness." She cursed softly.

[Linx]

Linx smiles at her, himself standing at six feet, quite confident that he was stronger than her, and he did have his dark side. The Egyptians found that out the hard way. "Well, sounds like you just descibed me almost perfectly." he says with a laugh, "Knock off the handsome part though, most women reject me, and the ones that don't, they have boy-friends that do it for me. A very unusual life, mine is. Nice perufme, I'm sure all your naughty little demons love it. And don't torture the poor spirits, how'd you like it?" he asks with a smile. He was never fond of torture, or kicking someone when they were down, but he did make sure no one got second chances, not anymore. He smiles at her, "Well, I can't promise to be what you want, but I'm available, should you ever wish for a casual fling." he says with a smile and shrug, slipping lightly down further, looking at his stomach.

The leather outfit he wore showed most of the areas of his body where muscle counted, hist stomach and shoulders and arms, and just looking at his toned, defined body, made him wonder why people liked that. His form was appealing to most females but, they were always taken, and he was mostly sure it was because his body was 'in shape' and he'd never understand why, nor did he particularly care. "And no, don't worry about rambling. It's nice seeing you actually talking too. I'm honestly suprised you have no questions for me, as from what I've gathered you don't really like talking about yourself." he says with a laugh. "And trust me, I think I' out of everyone in creation, best understand how complicated you truly are." he says with another smile and laugh, winking at her.

[Scarlet Cross]

Scarlet just looked at him as her form was all sprawled out across the couch. "Well go you, hm?" She laughed a little. "I dont know, you talk a lot." Scarlet brought up again, just poking fun. She didnt mean to hurt his feelings, just play around with him. "Dont put yourself down Linx, you are a nice looking guy." Scarlet flicked around a peice of silvery hair. "I've never had a boyfriend. EVER. I think there was this one guy.... boy he was a mess...." she tried to remember, but soon gave up. "Thanks... i personally hate that i smell so good..." she sighed. "I cant go home until this blows over... ugh... you stupid horny males." Scarlet laughed, her face lighting up. "But, i only light them on fire if they tick me off. Because them ther deserved it." She nodded, confirming the statement.

"A casual fling, hm?" Scarlet wondered, her eyes definately curious. "Im not too good at this... relationship thing since ive never had one... So i guess a casual thing would be okay." Scarlet didnt know what she was getting into, but she did think it would be nice to have someone.... sort of care about her. "Linx, i'd rather figure things out like a mystery. You know? Sort of just discover it. Its nice to have a mysterious man." She smiled, laughing lightly. Scarlet curled up, closing her eyes for a moment. "Boredom... the damnedest thing." She laughed again, her face happy.

[Linx]

Linx smiles, standing up and stretching. "Well, trust me, you'll NEVER know everything about me. I don't even know." he says with a shrug. "And how will you figure out anything without questions?" he asks with a smile, poking her in the stomach, smiling at her. "And hey, I guarantee, you'll never meet a guy like me." he says with a wink, smiling devilishly. He sighs as he stretches again, smiling at her again.. "Feels good to stretch." he says with a laugh. "And yes, I speak alot, mostly from entertaining myself over millenia." he says with a shrug, not quite wanting to tell her he was very very very old. He was very self conscious about his age sometimes, and it sorta sucked, especially considering he was the oldest thing in existence. Luckily, no one knew who or what he really as, therefore, his age was secret.

"So, you've never had a boy-friend? Wow, I find that hard to believe. How come? Too afraid?" he asks teasingly, moving back into his chair, reclining into it to watch her, his eyes curious as he studied her, thinking about her, and how best to deal with her. "Hmm...I don't understand why you would choose the underworld over the angels. I really don't. You're too nice, and trust me, I've met plenty of demons in my time, none of them are left alive however, so you can't verify that. Was it just to learn to control fire? Or was there some other ulterior motive for it?" he asksm quite curious to her answer. He would have loved to have her serving as an angel, she would make an excellent angel, despite what the others may feel about her origins. As far as he was concerned, the demons were their brothers anyways, they all came from him.

[Scarlet Cross]

Scarlet rolled her eyes. "Whatever Linx. You are definately a fruitcake. I will figure everything out for myself. Im not stupid you know." Scarlet finally sighed. She ignored his teasing comments, having heard them enough that she found it was useless to try and explain herself. They only teased further. Her eyes began to shut when he began to talk about angels. The truth was that she liked being in the dark, she liked her cool pale skin. Why fly around in the sunlight like a fairy? Scarlet of course wouldnt mind the flying part but her true self was a demon. No one wanted a half and half.

"Linx... it..." Scarlet sighed. "I like the dark...... I like being pale... What can i get out of being an angel that i cant if i stay on the demon side?" Scarlet groaned, so uncomfortable with these questions. "I picked Hades because my powers were of his kind. No angel will teach me dark arts!" Finally she sat up. "Can we talk about something else? I've had to explain myself to everyone on this earth and off of it!! Since you know everything, why dont you just find out?" Her eyes glared at him, her paitence coming to an end. "I really need to get home. This is too uncomfortable. I cant stand it here!" Scarlet hopped up, her long legs carrying her to the door quickly.

[Linx]

Linx moves swiftly to block her, looking at her hardly. "Calm down, you'd do best not to anger me. What can you get out of working with demons that you can't for the lord? Powers are not dark and evil because of their nature, or who teaches them to you, but how you use them, you call them dark arts, then you call me evil, do you not? I have the same powers as oyu, and a plethora more, does that make me inherently evil? Because I can control fire? Create what I want at a whim? No, because I don't use my powers for those purposes. And yes I know everything, but I choose to live as a mortal, because that way, all these experiences are new, do you want me to recite every detail of your life? Do you want me to know everything about you, without you telling me a thing? I think not, now, sit down, and calm down. I'm not asking you to explain yourself, I'm merely asking questions to get to know you." he finishes softly, still watching her sternly.

"You'll find, that I'm not moving. You've never encountered a being like me, and you never will, trust me." he says, the barest hints of a smile, before trying something unexpected. He steps forward, slipping his arms around her waist, pulling her tight against him and kissing her deeply. After a brief moment, he breaks it off stepping back, ready to move if she wanted to slap him. "Besides," he says with a smile, "You said we could have a casual relationship, which means it's my right to ask you questions." he says with a smile again. "What would you like to talk about then? Obviously not yourself, which is very different. Ask some questions of me if you don't like it then, give me something to go off, or the questions are going to keep coming." he says with a smile, moving back up to her, placing his hands on her side, gently turning her around, and moving her back to the couch. "come on," he says softly, gently guiding her back down, "Just sit, and calm down. You don't have to answer anything you don't want to, just say that, and It's fine." he says with a light smile.

[Scarlet Cross]

Scarlets sparkling eyes were as hard as the gem they resembled, a little amber flickering around the edges. "I have EVERY right to leave. You can not keep me here again my will because i will escape none the less." Her voice was harder, darker, venomous. So now he was taking it as an attack on himself? Could he not just let her leave? Thats all he had to do but he was being a pig headed idiot and standing infront of her. "I said NOTHING about your powers! You dont know what i can do or what i have been taught!! Just because thier the same thing in your eyes doesnt mean they truely are! Now move out of my way!!" Scarlet could spontaiously cumbust right about now, the anger rising. "You already know me dont you? You know enough!" She was really starting to get impaitent and the hard silence between them wasnt helping.

"Well i see that! Im not blind! But i will make you move!" Scarlet snapped. At first, what she predicted happened when he stepped froward her hands rose in defence, the flames lit and ready. What happened next, never crossed her mind. Scarlet was being held tightly against something and there was something warm pressed to her lips. Her body was stiff and she didnt realize what happened until she was released, her body wobbling. Scarlets eyes were wide, her mouth hanging open as she stared at him. Linx moved her, putting her back on the couch. Her face held the same expression until she blinked, then and firey hand reached out and smacked him hard across the face. "You really expect me to stay now? Have you ever heard of no kiss on the first date!?" Scarlet scrambled back to the other side of the couch, her hands still alight.

[Linx]

Linx smiles, dispelling her flames. "Well, it isn't really a date, now is it? More like a chance meeting, and a date implies a constant and serious relationship, as opposed to a casual relationship. And besides, you can't deny that some part of you enjoyed it, you didn't fight." he says with a smile, sitting in his chair once more, watching her. "And yes, I do expect you to stay. Why not? Because you feel a little defensive? Bah, no one got anywhere that way." he says, waving his hand in the air. "Now, are you going to calm down, or do I need to hold you down?" he asks with another smile, still thinking over the unique puzzle that she presented to him. He smiles softly at her, "If it makes you feel any better, you an ask me any question that you want, and I'll answer it, no matter what it is. And I can know everything about you if I wish, but you don't want that, and I respect you enough to respect your privacy." he says softly, watching her still.

"True, I know nothing of your training, but I know that whatever powers you have, they are not 'dark arts' that's just a silly name the gave to that that they did not understand. I know that you are not a dark person, you are bright, vibrant, and beautiful. And wow, no wonder I have my own religion...sheesh, always wondered why they talked so flowery. Blech, never doing that again." he says, shaking his head. "Regardless, are you telling me that you want to return to the darkness, to being alone again, where things despise and distrust you?Or will you stay here with me, for awhile longer, where I accept and trust you, despite your origins, your powers, despite not even knowing you?" he asks softly, watching her. He knew how lonely an existence can be, and he didn't enjoy it himself, and he didn't want her to retreat into that existence, he was growing very fond of her, and she was quickly becoming one of his favourite creations.

[Scarlet Cross]

Scarlets heart was thumping when the flame disappeared, making her give a cry of fright. Powerless and unable to defend herself. She still wasnt sure that he was going to hurt her or not, and regaurdless she hated feeling weak. "OF COURSE I DIDNT ACT BACK! I DIDNT KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING!" Scarlet cried out, rather upset her first kiss went that way. She pressed herself harder against the arm of the couch, wanting to go through it, just to distract him long enough to get away. "Dont touch me!" She let her heels dig into the cushins, pressing back farther. To be forcibly kissed for the first time in her long life was heart breaking. Why couldnt it have been sweet and romantic? Why did this turn out this way? Obivously, God still had his back turned on her.

"I want to go home... i just want to go home..." She said, her warm hands covering her face. "I like it there... its dark.. I belong there...." Scarlet probably didnt, maybe she was supposed to be an angel. She really was too innocent and sweet to be a demon. "its too bright here, it smells... and you've ruined my first kiss!" Scarlet cried out. "And you are asking me to stay here?"

[Linx]

Linx sighs, "well, I enjoyed it." he grumbles to himself. He sighs, shutting his eyes, "Now shut up, this is going to be difficult." he orders her, concentrating. His face twists in concetration, exerting a lot more power than he had in a long time, before opening his eyes and gasping, falling off the chair, groaning lightly. "Ughh. There. We're in a pocket-plane. Very small, dark, perfectly clean air, just turn out the lights if you want." he gasps out, reffering to the room. He'd decided to take it with them, so he hadn't needed to worry about trying to create an area for them to be. He felt slightly exhausted, but this pocket-plane was stable enough to last for enternity, unless he dispelled it. He opens his eyes, looking at her, smiling softly, "Heh, and no, I haven't turned my back on you. I had to do something to calm you down." he says softly.

"I'm sorry, but...I'm sorry." he breathes out, letting his head flop back onto the floor. "Ughh. I haven't tried something like this for a very long time, I rememberwhen creating the multiverse was as easy as blinking." he sighs to himself, forcing himself back to his feet, moving back to her, dropping to his knees on the floor, looking at her softly. "Again, I'm sorry, but your entire existence, you've been alone, since the day your parents were taken from you, and I didn't want to let you return to that existence, I watch over everyone afterall, always have, and I always will, despite what anyone may think. I've stepped out, not down." he says with a smile. "I've sealed away most of my own memory and power, but I still remember everything important. The names I was given by the mortals, mainly, which tells me who and what I really am, and my powers, I relearned over the ages. I was first known as Chaos, you, however, my sweet darling angel, would know me as god." he says with a half smile,before slumping over, out cold, exhausted.

[Scarlet Cross]

Scarlet stared at him, wide eyed. The sight outside was different, the room the same. "Pocket plane? whats a pocket plane..?" Scarlet asked, her eyes flicking around. He seemed to drained, her fright and anger disappearing only a little. Her eyes stared at him, he was begining to explain himself, telling her he was the god she knew. "You are not the God that turned away from me Linx. You arent." Scarlet relaxed only a little. "You are not the man who turned away from me, you did not offer me your hand to take and teach me the angel's way." She was very sure of this.

Linx seemed to be sincere enough, he was being very sweet to her right now. Not wanting her to be alone anymore, wanting her just to have someone around. He once again confirmed is place as being God, but Scarlet couldnt understand. Did he look different back then? Younger? Older? Something? Her wide green eyes stared at him, unable to believe anything he just said, yet, all that he had done seemed to show her that he was telling the truth. He wasn now slumped over on the ground and Scarlet couldnt find herself just to leave him there. She got up, putting him onto the couch and sitting in the chair. Her knees were up against her chest, her arms around them and her face hidden. "WHy am i so scared...." she asked herself.

[Linx]

After a few hours, Linx groaned, slowly opening his eyes. "Damn. I need to get out more." he mutters to himself. He rolls off the couch, falling to his hands and knees, before forcing himself up, moving over to her, placing his hands on her shoulders, lookgin at her, slipping one hand in to gently take her chin, lifting her face, looking into her eyes. "Hey, what's wrong? I may be god, but...I'm not exactly good with women." he says with a smile at her. "And, to answer your earlier questions, or comments, or whatever, yes, I am that god. I never turned my back to you, not once, I know that much. Being with you, memories have returned, if only a few. I do change form you know." he whispers softly. He smiles lightly at her, "I remember your mother, I was very fond of her, she was one of my closest advisors, one of the few I called friend. I was actually happy that she had fallen in love with your father, hoping that it meant the beginnings of the healing between Hades' court and mine. I did not intervene however, because I gave you all free will, your actions were your own, but I remember what happened. I was furious, I truly was, I had lost a very close friend." he says softly.

He sighs lightly, ,slipping a hand down her back, pulling her close and holding her against him, "I'm truly sorry for what I let happen, but it was their choices. Your mother knew she could request any favour of me, and she did, before she passed. She asked, that I watch over you, to keep you safe. I suppose, I haven't done too good of a job, have I? I'm sorry, but I'm here now, and I promise you, I'll always answer you, no matter what." he says with a soft smile, kissing the top of her head. He laughs lightly, "I suppose I killed all chances of a relationship with you, haven't I?" He asks with a smile. "Oh well, I haven't had much of a chance ever, not even god can get a break that way." he says with a laugh.

[Scarlet Cross]

"I dont know whats wrong Linx... You've just hit me with a ton of stuff..." Scarlet gazed back into his eyes, her own eyes so lost and confused. "You turned and walked away from me. You left me to fend for myself with Hades... You cant be that person. You are so sweet, your so kind...." her eyes watered a little, slightly hurt that he left her all alone as she touched his cheek. She sniffled, still looking at him and listening to his story of her mother. Melanie was beautiful, and Scarlet could still see her sweet smiling face when she closed her eyes. At least Linx was happy for her parents. That healed her torn soul just a little. "Why didnt you try to save them...? You could have.... couldnt you?" She looked at him still, her eyes glued to him.

Scarlet leaned into his arms, resting her head on his shoulder. The odd part was that there was some sort of safety in the air around her now. He was trying to make amends, she could forgive him... couldnt she? Her eyes closed as she wrapped her arms around him. He was to watch her, to take care of her. "No... No you've not ruined anything..." she said softly and hugged a little tighter. "Thank you so much Linx. Thank you." Scarlet knew now that Linx was someone she was looking for. He would be able to protect her, he wanted to watch her and protect her. Her heart swelled and skipped. "You've just got the hugest chance in your life time." Scarlet kissed his cheek.

[Linx]

Linx smiles wearily, yet sadly, all the age he represented reflected in his smile. "Yes, I could have saved them I think. I'm not as powerful as I was at the dawn of creation, but, I think I could have saved them. I did not, because you're mother did not ask me to, and I would not dis-regard her personal feelings. Your mother was a very proud person, and she knew the daner, as did your father, when they entered their relationship. She wanted no special treatment from me, and did not ask me to intervene, as muc as I wanted to. I had truly hoped that you would have stayed and served in the ranks of the angels, instead of going to Hades, he's always been one of my least favourite creations really, too sadistic I think, but you were created with free will, and your choice was your own." he says softly, finally releasing her from his hold, stepping back, staggering slightly, falling onto the couch, closing his eyes. "And to answer your earlier question, a pocket plane, is basically another plane of existence that can't survive without being attached to another fully fledged plane. The earth and multiverse as you know it is merely one plane of existence, and this small pocket plane is attached to it." he says softly.

He sighs lightly, "And, before you ask it, I can bring them back, but I won't, it would also go against your mothers wishes, and I really don't feel like being chased the breadth of the earth by her!" her says with a light laugh. "And it's nice to hear that I still have a chance, for a friendship, if nothing more." he says with another soft smile at her, propping himself up in the couch to still be able to see her, before laughing lightly. "I suppose you're image of me is ruined, isn't it? This giant pure old man in nothing but white all commanding, and really, I'm out on earth acting like some dumb kid trying to be normal. It's hard though, it really is. No one but you knows who or what I really am, so I'm at least left alone that way. But I can't exercise the power I once could, to help the people of my creation. I can't even create anything massive anymore, nothing bigger than a mountain, and that takes alot of work, and even creating this pocket plane wore me out." he says with a laugh. "And given my luck, I guess even god needs someone by his side to keep him out of trouble. I can't deny how great it would be to finally have a relationship of my own, but so far, I do't think I can have one. Something about me seems to draw all the ones that are taken, and even the ones that aren't, usually end up going to other way." he says with a shrug, closing his eyes.

[Scarlet Cross]

A twinge of pain struck her as he explained why he hadnt saved her parents. She wasnt mad at him in the least, but she was happy that he obeyed her mother. Thats all that Scarlet really cared about. "Thank you Linx, and... im not mad at you, nor am i upset in anyway... Not with you at least. Im upset that... well i dont know what i am right now. Im a girl." Scarlet laughed weakly at that, trying to cheer herself up. She then looked down, ashamed of herself as he began talking about choosing Hades. "I dont regret it... But, im sorry. I just, i guess i never felt wanted by that side. I dont know what i felt about the one im on now but what can i do Linx? I was only 16... I was young and stupid. No one was there to tell me right from wrong anymore." Scarlet sighed, holding her head in her hands. She watched him move away, not really wanting him to, but didnt want to say anything.

"Oh... see... i never knew what a pocket plane was... When you said that i was thinking airplane you put in your pocket..." Scarlet giggled, only a little happier. "I... i dont want you to bring them back..." She said. "I dont want to explain why either." Scarlet moved over and sat by Linx, Her eyes watching him. "I do not plan to change the status of our... 'casual relationship' and i do not see you as a different person. I dont care who or what you are. You are a nice guy... you really are.... So dont worry about that in the least, alright?" Scarlet picked up his hand and turned it palm up, tracing the lines slowly.
