(Apologies I'm new to doing RP over Tumblr 😔). A young lady has just wandered in she not only looks lost but damn near out of place. The air around her feels strange but not in a way that's easy to place, the look on her face is one you may find on someone who doesn't wish to be read but her eyes can't stay still trying to get a glance at everything. What is she looking for? Familiarity? Her hand hovers over a holster and a small bit of blood can be spotted in the corner of her mouth from a newly bust lip. Now that you notice it she's clearly beat up. Beat up and confused. Her voice is that of a southern belle soft with confidence yet underlined with confusion. "W-Well Howdy there sugar. You could say I'm new round these parts, Do you happen to know where I'm knocking spurs now would'ya darlin'?"

It was slow this week at the store, so Aurora took the time to make a pot of lavender and peppermint tea, settling down by the window table, sighing as her shoulders relaxed with the scent wafting through the small shop. The blonde sat there for a while, her eyes not focused on anything in particular as she gazed out the window with her hands wrapped around the cup. The warmth was comforting to hold onto as she sat in silence.

As the bell rung, her mind drifted back into the present moment before she turned her head, bright green eyes forming crescents as she smiled softly at whoever entered her store.

"Hi there, how can I help you?"

Her eyes narrow a little and she puts everything back where she pulled them from.

"What's stopping you from slicing my head of sugar?"

The rate of the beeping continues to ramp up. She begins to sweat a little and her hands begin to tremble.

"Fine. Do whatever you like, if you can get the blasted thing off get it off."

She tilts her head to one side revealing the mechanism keeping it in place. She seems understandably on edge. Her hand hovering near her holstered gun.

deadeyeddarlin​:

“Glad you’re onboard sugar, Now its all going to come together why i need your help. It will only come off if you’re dead.”

The beeping accelerates.

“Ain’t got much more time if you want i can explain after, When it comes back online im going to shoot you. Right here.”

She taps over her heart.

“Put this under your shirt there itll create a fake blood splatter and protect you ofcourse. pop this in your mouth and bite down and itll knock you into a death like state for a few minutes. Once my boss has been convinced the collar will pop off.”

She holds out a small phone sized metal reinforced device and a pill. The beeping has almost no delays between them.

“Going to have to trust me darlin’”

Stares at her as though she was nuts. “I’m not going to do any stupid theatrics to convince your boss or whatever.. Is there a camera on that damn thing or something? Look if you know another way to remove it just tell me how and I’ll take it off, but I’m not going to make a fool of myself over it.” 

Glares at what she said about trusting him. “Yeah see that’s the thing, I don’t trust you.. Darling… I’m willing to help but doesn’t mean I trust you so either there’s another way to remove that thing or you just shoot me and finish your job. Weird that you conveniently carry those items around as well.” Fake blood and a pill. “I’m not making a fool of myself by pretending. Tell me how to remove the collar, I have a dagger on me that could be of use.” 

Leaning down he pulled out a dagger from his ankle and waved it as he spoke. “Either this or you shoot me, I’m going as far as playing dead. I’m not going to take some shady pill and fake blood.” He did not trust her at all. Was willing to help but that was it.

deadeyeddarlin​:

She remains with her resolute face a little longer until it fades into a smirk and then from a smirk into a chuckle.

“Oh im glad to see you have balls as big as your mouth sugar. Aint all talk then huh? Finally someone who doesn’t cry for their momma or beg like a puppy! You’re fun!”

She lets go of him and lets him drop.

“I have a few minutes of vocal and visual free surveillance free action thanks to a shortage i managed to create. However what hasn’t broken in the location tracker. Thats why im here, see i don’t wanna kill you because you’re human. I don’t tend to mess with you folks much darlin could get me in deep trouble YET i need to be where they expect me to be, So how about this?”

She looks down at him. She pulls a small sealed parcel out of a pouch.

“You help me get this collar off and ill give you my job file? All you need to know about why im here and who sent me? Oh and the reward money ofcourse.”

The collar slowly beeps as if rebooting.

“Clocks ticking sugar.”

Seeing her expression calm down from the serious look prior he watched her confused before she let him go. Staring at the woman a moment, making sure her words weren’t just a trick before lowering his weapon on hand. “I’m not just talk… If I wanted to run I’d run. If I want to fight I’ll fight. Won’t say one thing then do another, that’s stupid.” Raising a brow at her comment he scoffed, but it was a compliment none the less. 

“So you’re not going to kill me then? All that kinky was for show?” Wrapping a hand around his neck, she had a tight grip though he didn’t mind it. “So you don’t want to kill me and you’re being forced to, and I’m human..” Right she was something else from the looks of it, her tail and being able to use it to lift him was proof enough. 

Watching as she gave an offer, remove the collar for her job file and reward money. The money sounded good. “Fine.. what do I do, how do I remove it.” The beeping of the collar was unnerving. “Are you someone’s pet or something?” As if he was one to talk. “Yeah I’ll help remove it but tell me what to do and how. I’m not exactly tech savvy or.. rather whatever kind of collar that is.”

She slams her tail into him and pins him against the wall with it by his neck. She puts the barrel of her gun up under his chin. “You sound like you’re fixin to die, sugar. Not everyday someone is so willing to throw away a offer of mercy.”

“Im here being civil. All i want is a little help and im not really given anymore actions on account that im watched every step of the way. If i were to step out of my path id be fixin to get a nasty suprise.”

She narrows her eyes and flinches a tiny bit as sparks eminate from her neck.

“I just want this OFF. Only way is you dead or alive and i don’t really tend to kill humans i have no real reason too.It can get complicated.”

The metal of the gun creaks as the trigger is gently squeezed, not enough to shoot but enough to be audible.

“Your choice.”

Didn’t expect her to suddenly slam into him and pin him up against the wall. Watching her wide eyed at this sudden movement that came out of no where. Still his mouth ran despite this, the shock dying down quick as he felt the pressure against his neck. “Aren’t you kinky darling.. Maybe I am fixing to die, ever thought about that? No one is stupid enough to tell their hit that they have someone after their head then go as far as offer them a drink.” Her words kept screaming stupid at him, despite his position his mouth kept running. 

“You really are dumber than you look then, wanted to help yet you’re watched every step of the way. How do you know they’re not watching now? Why not give them a little show since you’re being rather suggestive here.” One hand at her tail around his neck, the other reaching for his own gun and aiming it at her face. “Pull the trigger first and I’ll pull mine sweet heart.. Give them quite a bloody show.” 

Her word were contradicting to him. “No reason to kill me aside from the fact someone hired you for it, aw the freak has a heart. Come come now, are we playing this game?” Waves his gun a bit in her face. “I told you.. I don’t mind dying.. You want to shoot me.. go for it, but you’ll be losing that pretty head of yours too.”

“Glad you’re getting up to speed. Ill use my words carefully now sugar. Im not the only person who has to watch my tongue.”

She seems to be attempting to drop a hint, the way she vocalizes that last sentence seems to have importance.

“Theres a joint called ‘The dragon’s den’ bounty board there is quite impressive its where i get my work. However this next target im after well lets just say sugar, has quite the high position and im not quite bestowed with the ability to take them down. With my current …”

She lifts her head to show the device again. Why? It must be important.

“Let’s say skillset. After that though dont try running, won’t do you no good. I won’t be fixin to chase you cuz i won’t need too. Not to do what must be done.”

She seems to not be threatening him.

Raising a brow at what she said, though understanding her well enough on the matter. So she had a hit to kill him but didn’t want to and was probably keeping herself under cover. Wondered who hired her to target him anyway or what for. “You have a target after me then? Why are you telling me this.. Lady I don’t even know you. You’re the one walking up to me with this chatter.” He honestly could care less given they were strangers. 

“Seriously what do you want? As far as I’m understanding, I’m your target and you don’t want to kill me so instead you want to take me to a bar and treat me to a drink. It’s all very odd don’t you think. Come on, if some fool walked up to you with this notion, would you believe them darling? I’m not stupid.. Either kill me or try to kill me or leave me alone. I wouldn’t mind a free drink but…. you keep fucking talking like I give a damn. Either kill me which is your job.. or don’t.”

👤x3

Let's see here who can i talk about?

Theres Jerry. He runs the quaint little cafe in town. Open to non-humans ofcourse. He's a bit of a coward and more than just a little intimidated by me to say the least. He makes some real good shakes and smoothies.

Charlie is a freelance contract pilot. I use him to get around the world without having to run through metal detectors and customs if my sister is not available. He is a bit greedy however.

Last but certainly least theres Mr. Crucifus. Hes the boss of the M.M.U.F and we all know how little i care for them. Typicall power hungry, speciesist overlord.

[deadeyeddarlin]

Send 👤 and I will write more about an NPC in my muse’s life

[deadeyeddarlin]

Send 🔥 to sit at a campfire with my muse

[deadeyeddarlin]

Send 😈 for a dark AU verse idea for my muse

[deadeyeddarlin]

A world like mine can be difficult to live in for the non-humans. It's been a year or so since the Meta mankind united federation, M.M.U.F for short took over. The measures we must take to protect ourselves and our loved ones grow greater day by day. They hunt down and imprison us. You're considered a lucky one if you're put to work i don't think i need to clarify what happens to the unlucky ones.

We work hard to continue a living in a hidden world intertwined within theirs. Back alley entrances to stores and development of Veille's. Veille's are items that can hide things you want hidden, my tail for example.

Im sick of the headlines. "Elven family captured in local inn" or "Magically gifted individuals taken at local school". Some day. We will see their downfall. M.M.U.F wants war, we don't. Question is if it really comes down to that whose side are you on?

All she does is chuckle a little.

“Creepy? Is it truly creepy to be well imformed sugar? My boss likes to be in the know. Know who he wants dead. Who he wants under the thumb. Im sure you know the kind?”

“Fine, if those words were nothin’ for you let me use some simpler ones. Doing your job builds up a price darlin’ and for you thats a very purty penny. Let’s say there are a lot of people who want you dead.”

She takes a moment to seemingly analyse her surroundings and curls her tail up into sight.

“Ain’t nuthin personal, strictly business. Im sure you understand that more than most though. Ofcourse it would be a dang shame to put a hole right between those pretty eyes of yours. So heres what’s going down me and you have more in common than you think. Id have appreciated a drink because my throats as dry as a desert landscape. Im Delphinium Delivare but everyone calls me DD and …”

She looks him on his eyes again with enphasis on throat, this time a softer look as she tilts her head to one side, in a moment as her scarf shifts a metal device can be spotted for a breif moment around her neck.

“You could call what’s about to happen an business collaboration darlin’ ”

“Yes.. I find it creepy anyway.” There it was, she was in the same shitty business then, and apparently he was well known if her boss, whoever that was knew of him. In turn she had as well. “Aw am his target now? I’m flattered, so wait are you here to kill me?” She answered his question right there, raising a brow at this, soon chuckling. “Damn.. Okay I knew I was good but not that good.. Well fuck. So you’re here to place a bullet in my head or something right? Why get all chummy and start a conversation, makes the job harder.” Arms crossed he looked her up and down. What was up with the damn tail? 

His gaze back on the woman as she continued to speak. “Yeah nothing personal, I’ve had to assassinate many in my time so I get it. What I don’t get though is how come you’re talking to me and not just.. shooting from a roof top or somewhere more discreet? Makes it easier don’t you think?” She was confusing. As she went on, he was confused by her offer to drink. Staring at her a bit dumbfounded by this notion. “So you can kill me after?” I mean that was smart actually, get friendly with the target, get them drunk then go for the kill. Easy.

At her name he lingered on stating his but she already knew it. “DD, alright. Are you serious though, you just want to grab a drink?” Noticing her movements and what looked like a metal collar or something metal anyway around her throat. “Business collaboration, alright.. So where did you have in mind for this drink?” What bar. “So you’re not going to shoot me then?” He should have been scared or do something, but if this was her job saw it as an opportunity to go down with some dignity. 

[deadeyeddarlin]

Go ahead and give me a nickname or ask anything you want to know! All questions welcome yall :D

[deadeyeddarlin]

All she does is chuckle a little.

"You could call what's about to happen an business collaboration darlin' "

@deadeyeddarlin From ask 

“Knew i weren’t getting info that easy. As for myself ya ain’t gettin a name outta a belle like me that easily sugar. Maybe buy a gal a drink first. Let’s just say a lonely desperado looking for her next, hmmm fix?”

She adjusts her hat with a flick as if for punctuation on “fix”.

“See certain lines of work can be very dangerous round these parts. One holler and someone be wantin’ you dead and aslong as two people are left breathin that line of work remains. Not without its own risks, but of course you knew that.”

She looks into his eyes with a fixed and purposeful stare. One hand rested around her hip the other leaning on a nearby ledge.

“right darlin’?”

———————-

“You seem to know a lot about me and yet I know nothing of you.” He’s not exactly happy about that. “Are you some kind of creepy stalker? I don’t really give a crap what your name is, but given you’re here acting like you know me and my business.. Something isn’t right there.” She wasn’t wrong, but it still put him off and he wasn’t happy about it. Who was this woman. “Fix.. What fix. I’m not buying you a drink and if you mean something more.. I charge a pretty penny for that shit.” 

Staring at this girl, watching her talk, rather annoyed and fast. “Yeah.. whatever.. Why are you talking to me again? In fact how the hell do you even know me and what I do?” Either she was stalking him or someone told her, that and she made it sound like she was in a similar business. Word probably reached her ears about him, didn’t deter the fact it was a tad creepy. “No.. no right. Don’t know who the hell you are and.. I really don’t care.. Not exactly keen on knowing some girl who seems to get information on me either way. Creepy as fuck don’t you think?” 

[deadeyeddarlin]

"Same goes for people who will die but just come back or with decent healing factors. Like some certain soul pollen collecting bumblebee we both know."

She smirks certain that someones ears will be burning.

my favorite thing ever is immortal characters getting stabbed/disembowled/otherwise fatally injured and treating it as like a v minor inconvenience like “dammit not again fuck” 

[deadeyeddarlin]

"Y'all really be out here thinking guns are easy. Sure id like to see you put a purty high calibur pistol like mine in your grubby hands and see your wrists snap like your fragile egos when you pull the trigger."

She spins her pistols.

"Shoot yourself in the foot while yall"re at it."
