Re: [CLOSED] The Masked Man w/Janos

Time, for a moment, had stopped for Mr. Sterling. Upon receiving the recognition he so longed for, so deserved , he froze completely still; taking just a few short seconds to process what he'd heard. His heart, it thumped so loudly as if it were to burst from his chest at any moment! His body it... ...

Re: [CLOSED] The Masked Man w/Janos

He'd done it. He'd actually done it. He didn't have to gag him. He didn't have to poison him. He didn't have to drug him. He didn't have to do anything. Purely through interaction alone, Edward was able to persuade his new associate into following him downstairs. This moment would forever be etched ...

Re: [CLOSED] The Masked Man w/Janos

Sigh. No matter what hints she gave him, he still didn't get the bigger picture. As much as she had to keep a straight face, she couldn't help but yearn to frown at this disappointment.-- Oh well, he'd understand perfectly soon enough. Following his admittance of failing to understand her riddle, An...

Re: [CLOSED] The Masked Man w/Janos

Upon hearing The Merchant's response, Anna was both delighted and perplexed. While he had a simple understanding on the bigger picture, he'd lacked a complex understanding on the core limitations of Collectors. She felt delighted, oh so delighted; hearing him speak. How long had it been since she ha...

Re: [CLOSED] The Masked Man w/Janos

As the moonlight descended upon the fairly lit vicinity, two historians sat under it's warm; locked in the heat of battle. From the moment The Merchant entered Anna's abode, every word, every body motion, every fraction of aura she'd given off; all of it was to lure him in. Akin to a siren and seafa...

Re: [CLOSED] The Masked Man w/Janos

Wretched curiosity; how little you care for humanity. Through no means would you satiate your desire for the sake of others. No empathy, no pain, no sorrow-- no fucks given. To gorge endlessly upon a never-ending feast of knowledge; that was the beast that drove the wickedness of The Watcher, Edward...

[CLOSED] The Masked Man w/Janos

"Daddy"? "Yes, Nina"? "When is Mommy coming back"? "Your Mother is downstairs resting dear, remember? She's got a nasty cold and we wouldn't want you catching that". "No Daddy, I mean the real Mommy. Is she ever coming back"? ". . . Go some rest...

Re: The Preamble

And with that a tale would end as two others began. The tale of the Traveler would come to end for he was no longer a stranger yet every bit still a mystery. In time, he would become a very vital asset to Edward and his plans. What form he would come in? No one could say for sure. All that anyone wo...

Re: Misery Loves Company

How one could find radiance and beauty in shadow was beyond most. Yet, for Edward Sterling, this was no harder than breathing. The Moon's Light shone upon the form as it hovered down from the tree to stand before him. What sounded like one-thousand voices all spoke at once in unison as they addresse...

Re: The Preamble

It all happened like a flick of a switch. The blood coursing through her veins began to rush as her body tensed like a firecracker yearning to pop. From every inch, every crack, every nook, and every cranny of her body, she desperately wanted to consume this man. His physique, his attire, his knowle...
