Tales of a Journey (Private!)

Riri froze for her moment in her tracks before she looked back at Ranma with this dazed yet aroused look in her eyes.

"Are you ok Riri?" Florence asked before Riri pulled her tail from Ranma's grip and giggled in a childish way before stepping over and clinging to Ranma's neck "Just Peachy! Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go see if I can go kiss this stud without a fight~"

"Dear god, what just happened?" Florence said glancing over at Lizabeth who looked up from the book who was letting out a snicker, "Apparently, her tail releases out a bunch of hormones into her system which acts like... a roofie in a sense, making her lose all sense of right or wrong, as well as her taste in people who she sleeps with. The effects are never the same, it seems since Riri has had other encounters where her personality is completely haywire."
"So, in other words, she's a horny fox with no sense of direction?" Scarlett asked as she regained her composure as she rejoined the idiots.

"Alice had vaguely mentioned you since she was worried about Audri's sake," Dietrich said as he opened up a portal and pulled out a cup of coffee, "She thought about breaking the two of you up at times, because of family interest of how I remember her rants.. As for you being human, it's just your scent."

 

Riri was giggling while Ranma was trying to pry her off as she started to whisper naughty thoughts into his ear, but Scarlett and Florence pried her off before she got the chance to turn the brunette on.

"Aww, you guys are no fun at all~" Riri whined as she stood there, not trying to fight the redheads before Lizabeth sweatdropped, "Don't worry, she'll be herself in a matter of hours." "No way, I don't wanna be boring any-" Riri was cut off as she dropped onto the ground unconcious.

"Well, that roofie hormone really knows when to kick in!" Scarlett said cheerfully glancing over at Ranma wondering if he's ok.

"Well, I'm not too sure with the whole story about it, but it has something to do with someone in the family being a demon, human families in the area were afraid, Audri gets involved in a way that no one has ever told me, and she almost dying because of the whole fiasco," Dietrich said sipping his coffee as he leaned back on the bookcase, "And if you're wondering, I wasn't even in their lives when this happened since Alice was still pissed at me & Xenlo. I barely came onto the scene when her mother had died and her father was a complete mess. Poor guy, never stood a chance against... well, nevermind my rambling."

 

"Man, nice to know that Riri could think of dirty things like... whatever she told you," Florence said a bit confused of the sitation at hand. "Well, she'll be up and about in a few, so that'll give us time to make a run for it," Lizabeth said snapping the book shut.
"I don't think running is going to help," Scarlett said as she pulled Riri over and lied her against the couch, "I say that we tell her that Ranma is sorry and he can beg for mercy!"

Dietrich just face palmed as he called to the other side of the room pointing over to Isilma, "Florence, you're cleaning that mess up later!"

He glanced over at Kinta before snapping his fingers together, "If you want to know more about the past situation, there's one person that's still alive and knows about the incident! But, there's a slight issue with me telling you where this guy is though.."

 

"Well, so much for begging for mercy," Florence said sighing a little tired from all of this chaos going over to clean up the messes made in the store while Scarlett pulled the book from her clothes and started to read it.

"Don't worry Neli, I think we'll run into Malisa another time," Lizabeth said going over and patting Neli on the shoulders, "So don't be sad and put a smile on your face!"

"No, not really a curse. He... has kind of grown a small hatred of humans after the incident, and he is probably a slight deranged, well... no, I'm pretty sure he is still sane," Dietrich explained as he downed the rest of the coffee, "He's a type of majik user that strangely harnesses blizzard & fire majik. Just one thing you have to promise me, you CANNOT tell Alice, Zackary, or ANYONE that knows Audri about this guy."

 

"Ok, I don't know about you, but I'm not going to read this anymore," Scarlett said as she handed the book to Monty before going to check on Riri who was still leaning against the couch, out cold.

"There, you see Neli? We'll see her again, I promise," Lizabeth said half-heartledly as she heard Riri groaning as she came to. "Ugh, I hit the floor harder than I thought," The fox girl groaned while Florence shouted from the other side of the shop, "Yeah, how are you feeling? Ready to kick some brunette ass?"

"Not really, and speaking of asses, where is Ranny?" Riri asked as Scarlett helped her to her feet, "He got pissed when I gave him the idea of begging for mercy for pulling on your tail & left." "Stupid baby, I'll go find him since I have some explaining to do." Riri huffed as she turned and dashed out the door, hoping to find the big idiot.

"Thank you, so I can at least point you in the right direction for all the trouble you'll be going through." Dietrich said as he tossed his coffee mug through a portal.

"First off, he is living in some world which is pretty much was a disowned, old place where a variety of demons, vampires, heartless, and any other types of "dark" creatures live & reign. I can't think of the exact name right now, but it's somewhere close to this world," He said as he pulled out a world map pointing to one world that had a gloomy atmosphere around one of the worlds close to the barren drylands.

 

Riri was pondering on where to look for the idiot before she heard the crashing and swearing moments later. "Well, that wasn't hard," Riri said in a relieved tone as she walked along the side of the building to see Ranma getting to his feet.

"Need a hand or are you going to be all right?" Riri asked as she slowly made her way over to Ranma, a bit fearful if he was going to get pissed at her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It's probably true." Scarlett says while Florence let out a deep sigh, "Maannn! I was really hoping that the foxy brunette was going to be "the one" for me!" "You guys are hopeless, I swear," Lizabeth sighed as she sat back down, trying to relax for the meanwhile.

"His name is Andre, never could remember his last name since he decided to not have one after he became an orphan. Said that he supposedly killed his dad in some freakish accident or something along those lines," Dietrich said as he went over and arranged some books on the shelves, "He has some sort of demon blood, so be careful that he doesn't kick your asses before you ask him about your questions.."

 

"My god, you ARE turned on by all those kinky factors I said," Riri said as she felt the heat and color rushing to her cheeks as she leaned back against the wall.

"And I kind of thought that you'd be mad because of what I did to you in there, which was mostly my fault since that was just an act. Yes, I was horny from you pulling on my tail, but the stunt I did was to mess with you," Riri said as she looked down at her feet before glancing back up at him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm sorry! But he's got a nice ass," Florence whined making Scarlett snicker and Lizabeth facepalm, trying to not think of the situation.

"You better Kinta because that guy does NOT mess around when it comes to things involving Audri," Dietrich said as he came back over and gave him another map of the castle, "Alice also tells me how you tend to get lost, so I think this should help you get around the place without trouble."

 

OOC: Yes I do. I am actually currently working on the ending, and it's really hard to not cry by this point ;3;

Riri stood there a bit dazed, and confused. She really didn't know what to make of the situation, but she decided go with it anyways.
Riri let out a little laugh to ease her tension as she felt her heart beating faster than ever before in her chest. She regained her composure before she went back inside.

~~~~~~~

"Neither do I, besides that's just creepy on one hell of a level!" Lizabeth groaned as she tried to massage her temples and trying to get the image out of her mind. "I don't think anything's wrong with it, but then again, I'm attracted to guys," Florence muttered as he noticed Ranma bust the door open like there was a fire.
"What the hell Ranma?" Scarlett said jumping up a little surprised by his sudden appearance.

"Not a problem. And if you guys ever need help with anything, just give me a call or drop by." Dietrich said as he had a hinted smile on his face just before the phone on his desk rang. "I wonder who the hell that could be," The vampire muttered as he went over to pick up the phone to answer it.

 

Scarlett facepalmed before she looking over at the brunette, "We only read about that incident. I was too scared to read the rest into your mind Ranma. You're pretty... er, detailed when it came to that event."
"It must of been detailed to make you run away with your tail between your legs!" Lizabeth cackled before Florence held up a book with a eyepatch on it, "Shall we take a look at yours Lizabeth?" "OVER MY DEAD BODY!" The heartless girl snapped as she tackled the man and stealing the book from him just before anyone else took the book from him.

Riri popped into the room seconds later seeing the chaos, and a moogle flying in the air. "Oh great, Monty thinks he can fly!" Riri whined as she went over to sit on the couch.

"You can leave if you want, but I'm not entirely kicking you out if you don't want to leave yet," Dietrich stated as he glanced over to Isilma before picking up the phone. "Hel-" Dietrich was cut off by someone shouting and screaming on the other side of the line.
"What? Wait, hold on and breathe for a moment Alice. Then tell me what's wrong," Dieitrich said as he talked to the witch on the other side of the phone.
After a moment he said good bye before putting the phone back on its hook with a confused look on his face.

 

Riri just looked over at Ranma before bending over and laughing up a storm. After a few moments, she looked over at Ranma with a sly grin on her face, "Can I have a fried Ranma to go please?"

"Hey Florence, you wouldn't happen to know if you have a book on a girl named Audri would you? Blonde girl, a perky attitude, about the same hight as me, hates wearing dresses. Ring any bells," Lizabeth asked question the redhead as she stuffed her own book into her mini top hat. Could there possibly be a portal there to store stuff, well... possibly!

"A girl named Audri? Um, I think that was one of the books that was stolen a while ago by whoever broke into the shop recently," Florence said as he went over to a pile of books lying on the ground before he went over to the shelves.
"How long ago did they steal it?" Lizabeth said bounding over to the Sin as he winced a little, "Well, to tell you the truth... It was right before Scarlett walked into this building. Sadly, I didn't see what they looked like since the person was traveling in something that looked like a raggedy black trench coat. I would of tried to stop them, but I was shot with some type of tranquilizer before I got my chance..."

"What was that about?" Scarlett said as she watched Isilma talk to Kinta before he left. Dietrich just shrugged while the redhead girl glanced over at the vampire with a worried expression on her face, "And you said Alice called? What seemed to be the problem?"

"She... she was screaming about a wolf named Ace was attacking them and trying to get ahold of some wine bottle named "black blood" I presumed. I have no idea what the hell she's talking about, but it won't be any harm if I go and check things out," Dietrich said as he grabbed a coat that was hanging not to far away on the back of a chair.
