Pyrotechnics (Sora and Pinger)

[guoping]

The dark street was empty except for two figures walking side by side. The taller one had his shoulder length black hair pulled back into a loose pony tail, his chest bare, his strong tattooed shoulders exposed despite the cold and the shorter blond was bundled warmly in a dark brown trench coat.

"I really wish you'd put something on Lorcan." the blond scolded.

"Just enjoy the view, love." Lorcan said with a lopsided smile.

The awkward couple continued to walk down the street, not seeming to have an aim. If one looked closely they would see their fingers laced together.

[sora]

All was...normal if the word can actually be used in one of the many apartments in Wyld Nites. However, if someone looked inside, they would see something completely different. The door slammed open, a torrent of water sending a drenched red head onto the street. "Fuck Dem!" He shouted, completely ignoring the two people he had just fell right in front of. Laughter echoed in the house as the door closed and blond hair could be seen in the window as two teenagers peeked out the window. "Open this door or I'll burn it down!" The red head shouted, clearly not pleased.

As soon as he said that, a wall of water came in front of the door, blocking the pyro's way. "Nice try, Ax!" A voice came from inside and another teenager just shook his head.

Axel rolled his eyes. "Yeah yeah." That's when he noticed two other people standing there. "Oh shit! I mean, sorry. Didn't mean to. It's my younger bro. He thinks it's funny to poor water all over me," he said and at that moment snapped his fingers and he was all dry.

[guoping]

"Oh.. it's fine," Lorcan purred, looking Axel up and down.

Adrian elbowed the shifter in the ribs and glared jealously at Axel. "What Lorcan means to say," he spat out. "is that it's no problem."

The taller man snaked his arms around the porcelain skinned man beside him and snickered. "Oh come now love, don't be so jealous. You know how I get when I'm hungry." turning his attention back to the red head Lorcan extended his hand. "I am Lorcan and this delectable morsel is Adrian."

Adrian 'hmphed' and gave Axel a once over. He decided that the redhead was of no threat to him he smiled, revealing his perfect white teeth. "Pleasure to meet you."

[sora]

Axel brushed off his jeans, drying the last bit of water as he went. "And you. I'm Axel," he answered and threw a dirty look at the house. Two heads popped down. The door opened, obliterating the water wall and another teen stepped outside. He had short black hair and a piece hang in his face, completely covering his left eye. He was shorter than Axel, maybe by a couple inches and looked about 18. He walked over to Axel, clearly annoyed.

"Those two are confined to the house," he said, his voice quiet but at the same time powerful. "I refuse to take them anywhere in public with their constant bickering and pranks," he said point blank.

"What did they do to you now...poor smexy Zexy?" Axel asked, grinning.

The teenager glared at him. "How many times have I told you to never call me that?" He snapped, his voice still monotoned but showing a threat as well.

Axel's grin grew wider. "About a thousand and one," was his reply.

The teen rolled his eyes. "I hope this mutt-"

"Hey!"

"Actually introduced himself. My name is Zexion by the way. You're a shapeshifter, correct?" He asked Lorcan. "I apologize but I almost mistook you for a werewolf. They are alike," he said, sounding every bit like the scholar he was.

[guoping]

"Oh not at all," Lorcan grinned, eying Zexion like he was a piece of meat. "It's quite alright, but I agree with Axel, smexy Zexy."

As Lorcan laughed Adrian bristled and smacked the shifter's tattooed chest. Clearly Adrian was the jealous type. "Do you always have to talk like that?!"

Lorcan just grinned and tickled Adrian's sides. "Don't be so fussy, love. In any case, my I inquire about the two who are causing you trouble maybe I could.. take care of them for you."

"I am not letting you eat their friends Lorcan." Adrian said sternly.

[sora]

Zexion sighed. "Unfortunately they're our brothers. Complete idiots," he muttered the last part.

Axel made a snickering noise. "This coming from the guy who fights with a book," he said in a whisper but made sure everyone could hear him.

Zexion glared at him. "It's called a Lexicon, Axel," he said, not pleased with his prized possession being called a mere book. "And it's fine. They usually stop, eventually," he added the last part a bit unwilling as a water balloon came from the window, pegging Axel in the head. The red head fumed in rage, his fire powers evaporating the water that had landed on him.

[guoping]

Lorcan and Adrian both laughed at this. They had heard of the expression 'hot tempered' but this was a whole new level. As they laughed Lorcan's stomach growled loudly and they stopped for a moment. The shifter put his head on Adrian's shoulder and whispered. "Can't I eat one of them. I am starving."

"No," Adrian sighed. "we'll find you a hooker or something."

Lorcan made a disappointed noise and whined. "But they taste so horrible. Can't I have a baby or something?"

"No." the blond snapped. "I'm sorry, Lorcan has a very.. different appetite."

"There is nothing wrong with cannibalism." Lorcan defended.

[sora]

Axel looked like he had been given a gift. "Thank you! See Zexy! There is nothing wrong with eating people."

Zexion glared at him. "Axel, I thought we went over this. Humans are for studying, not for killing," he said, eyes narrowed.

The pyro rolled his eyes. "Well aren't we just Mr. Smartypants?" He said, sarcastically.

"Do you wish to be trapped in my Lexicon again?"

That caught Axel's attention and he paled a little bit. "Ok ok, Zex. That's taking it a little too far," he said, sounding a little scared. He never wanted to be in Zexion's retarded book ever again.

Zexion looked pleased with himself but it barely showed. "Good. So stop killing the people I'm studying. Humans are better in their environment and you eating them before they actually do something it...annoying." He looked over at Lorcan and Adrian. "There's a bar at the end of the street. Mostly humans go or creatures in disguise. It's ideal for...eating," he said, throwing a look at Axel who just faked innocence.

[guoping]

"Thank you, you're a saint!" Lorcan grinned, then glared his dying ember eyes glowing menacingly. "But if you ever lay a hand on my Adrian I will personally tare off your d*ck, rip out your innards, strangle you with them and eat your beating heart from your chest." and then he snapped back to his previous joyful personality. "I hope we meet again, come along love."

Adrian just face palmed and shook his head. "Sorry about him," he called behind his shoulder as Lorcan dragged him in the direction of the bar. "Axel, you're welcome to join us."

[sora]

Axel shrugged. "Well with dumb and dumber under house arrest, there's no way in hell I'm going in there. Wanna tag along Zexy?" He asked the other.

Zexion sighed. "I suppose there's nothing else to do," he remarked, following the group towards the bar.

It was pretty full and was made for both men and women to enjoy. A young woman with long slightly spiky blond hair came over. "Hey Axel. Hey Zex. Oh you guys brought company. Excellent. More money for me," she said with a slightly sadistic grin. "Just no fights tonight guys. There's supposed to be a bunch of vampires coming and the last thing I want to explain to the coven leader is that half of them went home burned, the other half crazy."

Axel and Zexion exchanged glances. That had been a fun night. "Thank you, Larxene but it won't be necessary," Zexion said for them both."

Larxene grinned. "Ah Zexy. The gentlemen as always," she said with a smile. "Take a seat at the bar boys and I'll have anything you like whipped up. Just because you won't destroy the place, I'll put it on the house." She glanced to where a group of girls were hitting on some guys. "As long as you take care of the bitches," she added in an undertone.

[guoping]

"See seemed nice," Adrian commented, taking off his trench coat. That night he wore a tight black t-shirt that showed the definition in his muscled chest and stomach. "Do you see anything you like Lorcan?"

"Hm.. there is a redhead that doesn't look bad," the cannibal smirked. "But I'll brows for a little while."

Adrian nodded, allowing Lorcan to go off and poke threw the selection. He kept a close eye on Lorcan as he moved threw the sea of people. Even though Lorcan was older he could be so childish, getting sidetracked and forgetting things.

"So I take it you know that woman." Adrian said to Zexion.

[sora]

Zexion nodded as once again Axel was flirting with some women working at the bar. "Yes. Larxene has been working here since we arrived here five years ago. She was actually the one who set us up with our own place," he explained as Larxene set down his drink, white wine as usual. "Thank you," he said to the woman who just winked and continued business. "Yes, she's been a great deal of assistance. Do you mind me asking about your story?" He questioned. He always had a fascination for the many beings that inhabited the earth, regardless of who they were.

[guoping]

"I see no problem in telling you," Adrian shrugged his shoulders. He hated his past life with a burning passion but didn't let it drag him down. "My mother was a prostitute and a stripper so of course I've no idea who my bastard of a father is. She died during childbirth and the manager of the club she worked at raised me."

The blond paused to hail a waitress over and ordered an absinthe. One she was gone Adrian continued.

"When I looked old enough I was made a stripper, and when I was legal, a prostitute." he said with an icy tone. "Thankfully Lorcan found me walking around one night. He did intend to eat me, but we fell in love instead. Interesting how things work out like that. What about you Zex? What's your back story?"

[sora]

Zexion rose an eyebrow. So this guy is a human? Oh well. "Well, my brothers and I were born...some time ago," he said with a smirk. That was putting it lightly. "We traveled the world for a while and then moved here to...settle down a bit. As always, we'll probably move somewhere else later on. In about twenty years or so," he said, watching Axel flirt with some girl. "Hmph. Will he ever grow up?" He remarked but more to himself.

[guoping]

Adrian mused this information over as the waitress set his drink down in front go him. He got out a lighter and set the sugar cube on fire. For the most part, absinthe was the only drink the blond drank, a side from red wine and a few mixed drinks.

"So I take it you're either mystics or ancients." he said, taking a sip of his cloudy green, and barely legal, drink. "If Axel is anything like my Lorcan, he'll never grow up."

Meanwhile the shifter in question was chatting up a thick witted and bodied woman in her 30s. She wore too much make-up and the lines around her mouth and eyes indicated she was a long time smoker, but other than that see looked healthier than some of the other women in the bar. She was also flirting with Lorcan as if she hadn't had sex in 10 years, which by the look of her was probably true.

"So how about we go back to my place sweetie?" she asked, trying to look sexy.

"I have a better idea," Lorcan grinned his usual sideways smirk as he loomed over her. "There's a little room in the back where we can have," he leaned in. "fun."

The woman shuttered and nodded, allowing Lorcan to lead her off to a long hallway that led to an alley. She was about to question why he had brought her here when he lunged at her. Her head hit the cement wall with a deafening crack and Lorcan sunk his teeth into her freckled neck. Lorcan made quick work of her, tying up a few pieces of meat for later consumption and hiding them in the wine cellar of the bar which he had somehow managed to sneak into from a little window above it.

"I dont' see Lorcan anywhere," Adrian commented. "He must have found something to eat."
