32 flavors of chaos

Artemis glared at Michael. He picked up the food with some weird energy limb and placed it where Salone asked. Artemis sat at the counter and sucked on her brunt fingers. "Show off." said Artemis annoyed. She began to think of way to get back at him. One idea however stuck in her head. She remembered the reactions of Shi, Salone and Jake when they where alive when i did it to them. With one quick moment Artemis jumped over counter and pinned Michael against the wall and kissed him. She stayed there for a few seconds before moving away unsatisfied. "Seesh, no one is as good as dragon boy." she mumbled as she walked away.


((Bad post is bad))

Michael was caught utterly off guard, back being forcefully pressed against the wall as the strange female pressed her lips against his. Silver pools widened in shock as he felt sincerely close to truly killing the woman, his energy wanting to rise in volume and crush her, but not being able to do so. Even with his immense power, Michael could do nothing at the moment, he had no real control over it. This was something that pissed him off more than anything, and within the a few seconds she pulled away, saying he was not as good as dragon boy. ”Maybe because I didn’t kiss back you….harlot.” he spat rubbing his lips with the back of his hand, sliding along the ground on his rear, as if that would allow him to be further from the woman that had forcefully taken his first kiss. Something about it felt wrong within a way. The taste however was still there, and Michael shuddered lightly. ”Just don’t do that again…” He added.

Hanna gurgled, burrowing her soft head into Salone’s neck, and slurping on her fingers. Walking out of the room Salone saw something that she immediately wished she could bleach. Artemis macking on Michael.


“ARTEMIS!” Salone thundered, she looked positively furious with her friend. “You don’t do that!”
Hanna jumped and looked curiously up at her mother before going back to finger slurping. After thoroughly chewing Artemis out she sent her outside to the backyard to play with the dogs because apparently she had too much energy until dinner, which was in about twenty minutes. Hanna stared openly at Michael before holding out her chubby arms. The nine month old was not going to be deterred in meeting this person. Salone watched, stiffening suddenly, not completely trusting.

“Sorry about Artemis… she… er… kisses everyone. If you get kissed more than once you should be flattered. It means she actually likes you.”

Hanna made a noise of protest at being ignored on her demands of Michael.
Soon after the dinner was set and Salone opened the door, letting the dogs in and called for Artemis. Sitting Hanna in her chair for cheerios and a bottle, so that was how she wound up with Sean’s son sitting at her dinner table.

Artemis flinch and slowly back up as Salone chewed her out. She was then kicked out into yard. She was immediately tackled by the two monstrous hounds. Artemis just pushed them off and transformed. She still had a few more minutes until dinner and she was sure she could find something before then. It look her around 20 minutes to find and kill a rabbit, it wasn't much but she figured it was better then nothing. She walked back int the house, her hands and mouth covered in rabbit blood.

(bad post is bad D:)

The reaction of the woman Salone nearly mirrored his own, minus the fact that she was not filled with homicidal intent. Sliding back against the wall, Michael fell upon his rear, breathing slightly heavier as he rubbed the back of his hand once again across his lips. He took note of the young child that looked upon him with interest, fingers stuck within her mouth as she seemed to nearly demand his attention. ”She does this to everyone?” He asked breathlessly, a small glimmer of annoyance. ”Ew.” He muttered standing to his feet, chewing lightly on his lower lip. The child seemed to want him, and something within him wanted to pay her attention. Once everything was set down, Michael took his seat at the table, looking to Hanna for a brief second.  A soft smirk played across his lips, as he waved meekly to Hanna, the youngling seeming to enjoy the light attention but perhaps wanting more. ”Erm…thanks for the food.”

Salone watched as Hanna threw a cheerio at Michael before cackling and busying herself with her bottle.
“She likes you, which is odd. Generally she is pretty shy.” Salone instructed Artemis to wash up before passing her a plate piled high before reminding her to use a fork and a knife. Eating a carrot she watched as Hanna attempted to throw another cheerio but it wound up on the floor. The child looked down with a faintly surprised expression.

Artemis placed the dead rabbit in the sink, letting the blood trickle down the drain. She used to place the carcasses of dead animals she killed anywhere but she has since gotten tired of both Penny and Salone yelling at her for getting blood all over the place. She washed hand off in the kitchen sink and rinsed the blood out of her mouth. Artemis then rushed to the table and began stuffing her face. She used to not care about using a fork or knife, still didn't but she didn't like being yelled out. So she had figured out a way to get yelled at less. If she used one of them she got points for trying. So using the fork she stuffed large chunks of meat into her mouth, swallowing them are barely chewing on them. Artemis was done in a matter of minutes and she patted her stomach. Juices from the meat covered her face. Then she noticed something.

There was some meat on Michael's face. Right by his lower lip. Artemis licked her lips, she was still a bit hungry. With out thinking she lunged on Michael, going after the bit of food on his lips. She ended up kissing him again, she pulled away slightly, her teeth lightly biting down on his lips tugging it a bit. She left go and hate the small amount of meat the was on his face. She then got up and darted away before anyone could say anything. She hid in Salone's closet. Come to think of it Artemis had never been in Salone's or Penny's rooms. She adjusted herself inside of the closet. She had closed the door behind and then ow! Artemis hit her leg on something while getting comfortable and a show box fell on her head, sending the contents all over the floor. In the box where pictures of Salone. However Artemis is an idiot and doesn't know what a picture was. She quickly put all the pictures back in the box and charged out of the room back into the dining room, crying and carrying the box.

"Salone your soul has been trapped and I knocked it over!!!" said Artemis tripping and sending the pictures all over the place. Artemis made a weird screeching sound before picking them all up and placing them back into the box. "Sorry! I didn't mean to hurt your soul!"

The cheerio collided with his forehead, causing Michael to smirk as it bounced down along the table. Something about the child was endearing in a way. Artemis returned, and someone griped at her about trailing blood all over the place, which made him smirk lightly, if only because it was nice to see the harlot getting yelled at. That and the food itself was wonderful, which may have accounted for him being slightly messy. He was not expecting Artemis to jump upon him again, and press her lips to his, and infact she even bit down on his lower lip, infuriating the male beyond what would have been safe. Dark ethereal rose within the air, claws seeming to instantly form along his fingers as they dug into the table deeply, splinters running across the wood. Within that instant he managed to control his energy as the woman pulled away and he stopped himself from slaughtering her. Within that instant the feeling of hatred and all-consuming rage vanished as his lip found itself slightly swollen. She then ran away, leaving him fuming. She then returned screaming about souls, his canines still slightly sharp. ”What are you smoking?” he said biting back a stream of curses.

Salone gaped at Artemis before watching her sprint out of the room in embarrassment. Hanna watched, slurping on her fingers like this was a very interesting lifetime drama she would watch on TV. She waited until Michael looked at her and then blew a raspberry then busted up into baby giggles.

“You have to understand, Artemis wasn’t raised like we were. She doesn’t understand social ques or proper behaviors very well. Trust me when I say it’s better than it wa-“

Then Artemis returned carrying a box of stuff, sniffling and claiming to have broken Salone’s soul. Salone was tempted to make a ginger joke about not having a soul bust she resisted the temptation. Taking the box gently she opened it to see what the hullabaloo was about.

“Oh dear,” Salone muttered, Artemis had unearthed a whole bunch of pictures. Fortunately she didn’t keep her camera with her pictures so it wasn’t damaged. The pictures however where another story; Salone had the worst stage of rebellious teenagedom ever, Complete with a nose piercing (that had closed up thank goodness) and that’s what most of the pictures where From Salone’s teenage years. Carefully she pulled out a few and explained what a picture was. Before letting Artemis go through the box Salone told her that these where delicate. She was vaguely suspicious of a few Jake pictures floating around in there but she wasn’t all together sure. Not to mention a few family pictures from when she was really little.

Clearing away the dishes, Salone leaned against the counter, watching Hanna demand Michael’s attention. She smiled slightly and Penny came in the door looking exsausted.

So apparently the strange things in the box weren't Salone's soul. They were called pictures and Salone spend some time showing them to her, telling her to be careful. And she was, how else could there be images of the past if they weren't part of the persons soul. It made no sense to Artemis. So looked at the pictures then at Hanna. The two looked a lot alike. Then Artemis noticed a nose ring on Salone. She looked at Salone to then picture, then back at Salone. No nose ring. This confused Artemis and she snuck up on Salone, trying to peer up her nose. She wondered where the ring went, they don't just disappear. It was around this time that Penny entered the house again, asked who the kid was and stared at Artemis for a whole two seconds before rolling her eyes and getting a drink from the fridge.

”Just remember, if she does it again, I cannot promise she will get away without a limp.” he added looking down to the deep grooves that were carved into the table, ones that his own powerful dark ethereal talons had carved within it. At least he had prevented himself from transforming into a monster, one that would have perhaps destroyed everyone within the house. He was unsure the feral female would have stood a shadow if a chance. Something about the female annoyed him more and more it would seem, and if he stayed around her too long he would end up killing her. It was when he turned upon the young child that part of his cares seemed to melt away, Michael moving closer to the young Hanna as he seemed to reach out towards him in the way that babies did. He held a finger out towards her and she gripped it tightly, Michael smiling a goofy looking grin, slightly impressed by the strength behind it. ”Wow, you’re strong for someone so young.” Michael said with the smile that seemed nearly out of character on his face.

Salone sighed and handed Michael another distracting cupcake, “If you wish to remain in this house you will put up with her.”

Hanna just gurgled at Salone and then turned her attention back to Michael, smiling widely showing no teeth. This young dragon Halfling was determined to wrap Michael around her fingers. She may be young but she was smart. Salone sighed and took Hanna out of her seat, plopping her down on Michael’s lap while Salone cleared off the table to see the extent of the damage.

“Artemis, what are you doing?” Her friend was trying to look up her nose. Salone arched an eyebrow and explained that she had taken out the nose ring while she was in the hospital and could no longer wear such an item. Not that it mattered.

“You sir, are going to have to sand this table down to remove the grooves.” Salone muttered to Michael while she put left over’s in the fridge. “And the realtor is going to be here in three hours. Oh dear.”

Penny had vanished up in her room to take a shower and apparently she did have a stressful day. Salone turned around just in time to see Hanna try and grab Michael’s nose.

Artemis froze when she was caught and fell over. "I was uh, um. Nothing!" said Artemis darting off in wolf form, dropping the picture of Salone with the nose ring. She darted into the bathroom and hid in the shower, only to be met with water and a screaming Penny who began to throw stuff at her. She darted out of the bathroom and back into the living room and shifting into a mouse hiding under couch. She stared out into the house, she could see Hanna gripping onto Micheal.

Michael muttered lightly, half considering killing the shape shifter anyway as he listened to what the female known as Salone said. If he hurt her, he would not be able to stay within a house he did not quite feel welcome in anyway. However, it was perhaps the child that steadied his hand, and tempered him somewhat. It was even that which made him agree with mending the grooves within the table, letting his dark ethereal energy wash over the table and fill in them before it hardened. He winced as the young woman grabbed onto his nose, and tried to pull away, still smirking widely. ”I've got your nose.” he said slightly pinching her nose and doing the age old trick, which seemed to amuse her.

Hanna squealed in delight of the game, got your nose and she grabbed one of his ears. Salone called for Artemis, “Come on! We need to get stuff done!”
The next few hours had to do with cleaning and boxing things up while Michael babysat. Hanna was absolutely doing her best to charm Michael, gurgling at him and displaying her tiny pink tongue. Grabbing the front of his shirt, she hauled herself up onto her feet, using Michael for balance.
After coaxing Artemis out from under the couch, Salone noticed Hanna interacting with Michael and she smiled slightly. There was no way this kid was as bad as his dad… hopefully…

Salone yelled that her and Artemis needed to get stuff done but it took a lot to get her out from under the couch. She didn't like an angry Penny but she feared an angry Salone more. Artemis got out from under the couch, became human again and Salone tasked her with some simple cleaning. Simple that is for anyone that wasn't Artemis. Salone plugged the vacuum in and showed Artemis what button to press and how to work it. Artemis hit the button and jumped from the general shock of the vacuum turning on and shifting into a wolf. She barked and growled at it before pouncing on it and ripping it to pieces. Realizing she goofed up she slipped out the back, maybe if she brought some food back she wouldn't be in much trouble.
