A young woman with a comically oversized sun hat, ancient looking luggage, and a bright smile would exit out of a taxi cab in front of a rather large but ordinary looking townhouse. Or so it seemed…. Melaina Tolman, just 120 years old is finally living amongst humans instead of off of them. She would look around at the neighbors, all ordinary humans. She, however, was not. Unordinarily pale with pronounced canines. She was a vampire.

01:37

Excited about her new life, Melaina would walk up to the front door and ring the doorbell. She would wait patiently as there was a rather loud ruckus on the other side of the door. Slowly, the door would unlock and open…

A gentleman in a suit would slowly open the door…. but there was something off about him. His face was lopsided and his eyes looked as if they were threatening to fall right out of his sockets. The man would answer— well, he made a noise that Melaina supposed was an answer. “…eeehhhhh?” The man would groan

Melaina would blink at him, rather dumbfounded. She didn’t mean to stare, but he was by far the oddest looking human she had ever seen. “Uhhh… hi there! I’m Melaina Tolman. Is this Hilda Von Goyle’s residence?”

“Ehhhhh….” The man would grumble, slowly closing the door once more. After some shuffling was Melaina gathered was the gentleman removing the door chain, the door would open up much wider and the man would beckon Melaina to enter.

“Thank you….” She would say rather sheepishly as she entered, trying to make herself as small as possible. The house was very misleading. From the outside, the building looked rather bland. On the inside, however, it was anything but! Historical paintings, old artifacts and signs of multiple creatures “Woah…” she would say, impressed

Burt would direct Melaina into the livingroom, which was nicely decorated with a spread of food waiting for her. There was a bottle of blood, steak tartare, sashimi, and foods that she had never even seen before, no doubt catering to every creature who would enter. Melaina would plop down on the couch, removing her sun hat as she awkwardly waiting for the other residence to show up…

*Leucosia Black, an enchanting and mesmerizing siren, has spent her entire existence captivating creatures with her ethereal voice beneath the azure depths of the ocean. However, a profound curiosity about the human world has always tugged at her heart. Born in the opalescent depths of the Siren's Cove, Leucosia's lustrous black scales and luminous moonlit hair make her an exquisite specimen among her kind. With her impeccable vocals, she led her fellow sirens in enchanting melodies, luring sailors to their tragic fates. But her allure extended beyond her captivating voice; it was her indomitable spirit that set her apart from the rest…

02:28

Intrigued by humans ever since meeting a sailor , Leucosia spent her clandestine moments studying the human world. She pored over ancient tales, music, and art, immersing herself in the human experience as best she could. This thirst for understanding propelled her forward, compelling her to embark on a mission to explore the human realm firsthand. Setting her sights on Hilda Von Gayle's residence, a place where “monsters” could be?* which takes us to today, the young woman would be wearing dark shades to cover her luring eyes, her black hair slicked back into a high ponytail. Not a single scratch, pimple or pore on her porcelain like face. As she made it to the entrance she rang the bell, waiting patiently as Burt would open the door. Through immediately off guard by his looks Leucosia would awkwardly clear her throat “is this.. Hilda Von Goyles—“ she said, her voice laced with honey, sweet and luring even when she didn’t mean it. As the zombie would step aside to let her in.shed step in and glanced seeing another young woman there.. thank god she wasn’t alone. She’d step forward and sat down across from Melaina, taking her sunglasses off and putting them in her hair as she set her backpack down “So, I guess it’s just us huh?” *she spoke looking up to the vampire..”

@Talhia💕

Melaina would be about to answer when she looked into the beautiful woman’s eyes. She was absolutely mesmerizing. She had to be a fairy of some sort. Melaina almost mistook her eyes for vampiric glamour, but no. She had never experienced this. “Oh wow, you’re beautiful.” she would let slip out before her mind caught up with her “S-sorry, that didn’t answer your question.” she’d nervously laugh “Are you fae? I hear they’re supposed to be otherworldly beautiful.” she was very curious

Leucoisa chuckled at the vampires comment, leaning back in her chair as she tilted her head back looking up to the ceiling “I get that comment quite often..” she said quietly to herself before looking back down to meet the vampires gaze “Fae? No, I did hear that are beautiful creatures as well.. I’m a Siren” she said putting both her index fingers behind her head to symbolize “devil horns” “you know, the ‘devils’ of the sea” she said with a snicker followed as she lowered her hands “And you. Vampire I assume?” she said pointing to her eyes

Melaina would be in awe of her movements. She was effortlessly elegant. Wow, her first Siren! Melaina would frown as Leucosia pointed at her eyes. She would quickly touch the edges of her eyes. We’re they veiny? She swore she didn’t feel herself go to feasting mode. Maybe it was the Siren’s gaze that could have caused it? “O-oh! I’m sorry. That’s not a very welcoming thing to notice about someone for the first time.” she would self consciously shield her gaze

“Quite the opposite a beautiful gaze like yours shouldn’t he covered hun~” the siren chuckled as she’d go back to titling her head to look up at the ceiling “I can tell a vampires gaze from far away, wether they are starved, or not starved I feel you all give a ‘look’” she’d air quote as her eyes scanned the area above “sorry if I offended you” she say following up, she had quite the tendency to do that least to say as she’d then changed subjects “so.. what brought you here…”

Melaina would peek between her fingers before smiling at the woman’s kindness “My name’s Melaina. I’m sort of leaving home for the first time. I’ve always been curious about the big world so this is how I’ve decided to explore it. How about you?”

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

“Melaina” the siren hummed softly as she’d place her hands on her lap “beautiful name” she said, smiling showing off her pearly whites “My name is Leucosia, Luca for short if you please~” she snickered “I came here after an incident let’s say.. a certain sailor made me want to explore the human race, and this place allows me to stay with a hmm.. people “my” kind? However you want to classify us. Occults?” shed shrug “and still be close enough to study humans…” @Talhia💕

Melaina was about to repond when the door bell rang. They would hear Burt slowly shuffle to the door and it opening to let the next guest in. Melaina immediately recognized that scent. Uh oh

“Hey, man.” A deep, warm voice would greet Burt. There was an awkward pause— most likely the sound of the man processing how odd the man’s face was. If that was true, he didn’t comment. “Is this the Von Goyle’s residence?” Burt would grunt and shuffle closer to the living room, following by a heavier set of footsteps. Burt would enter first, and behind him, a tall and rugged looking man with a clearly broken nose. He would spot the two girls and with give them a warm smile “Hey, I’m Barrett.” he would greet Luca first

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Luca would gaze up towards the man, a soft smirk forming on the sirens face as she’d subtly nodded “a pleasure to meet you Barrett” the siren softly hummed his named, lazily looking towards Melaina with a chuckle, she knew all too well the history between the two races. She’d then glanced back up towards Barrette with “that” look “been awhile since I seen a werewolf, almost forgot you guys existed” @Talhia💕

Barrett would chuckle “I suppose my rugged look gave away my heritage. We like to stay in our packs. I’m a bit of a lone wolf. Now I feel disadvantaged not knowing your race. I would’ve guessed Fae but our kind run into each other all the time.”

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Luca would sigh as she’d merely smile, looking away towards the vampire amused by her expression “Siren… I’m a siren”

@Talhia💕

“That explains your gaze.” she would smirk, slightly flirting. “So that must make you the Fa—.” *he would finally look at Melaina and discovery would wash over him Due to his recently broken nose, he wasn’t able to pick up her scent. But the minutes he really looked at her, he knew that she was vampiric

Melaina would nervously smile, looking quite apologetic “I-I’m Melaina. I-it’s nice to meet you!” she would try to act joyful, holding out a hand for Barrett to shake

Barrett would look conflicted, letting her hand hang there for a second. Barrett had far from a good experience with vampires. But he knew that this was a possibility— and the man was broke. Sooooo broke. Beggars can’t be choosers when it comes to lodging After a deep sigh, he would reluctantly shake her hand “Nice to meet you… Melaina.”

Melaina’s face would brighten. He was the first werewolf she had properly introduced herself to. It was an amazing feeling. She truly was living a bigger life than he was before.

Leucosia watched their awkward interaction , a small smile forming on her face seeing how the werewolf shook her hand. She knew the hatred between a wolf and vampire , it was similar to that of a sailor or pirate and sirens. So she was shocked when Melania grew all nervous she’d glanced back towards Barrett wanting to question what he was going to say, but then stayed quiet figuring it was for the best…

Nessa would descend down the stairs, wearing a rather short, black flowly dress, her white wings freckled with black feathers resting behind her as she’d glanced at the group, her blue and red eye glistening under the little light as a small smiled formed on the nephalams face, as she head towards the small group “Oh, it’s finally nice to see others are here..” Vanessa softly said looking at the three.. and double take on Leucosia as she couldn’t help but snicker “Wow.. it’s been awhile since I’ve seen your species, I could have sworn the sirens were wiped out in 1515…” she said

Luca rolled her eyes and flipped her off “ah, shut up~” she’d playfully say “your just mad that satan created a mastermind” shed taunt

“ Hmp…” she’d then turn back towards the other “oh how rude, Vanessa, but I go by Nessa..”

“Melaina.” she would greet her “Very nice to meet you.”

“Barrett.” he would wave

Burt would slowly make his way back into the room, holding a crystal “Eegghhhh….” he would say as he removed his mask, revealing his decomposing face

“Ah. That explains some things.”

Burt would gesture for the group of people to sit down on the couch, facing the fireplace

Melaina would sit down first, neatly crossing her legs

Barrett would purposefully sit on the opposite side of the couch. Melaina would frown. What had she done already?

Burt would gesture for Nessa and Luca to join

luca headed over, sitting nearby Burt, as she’d place her hands up to the fire to feel the warmth

Nessa sat in the middle of the two her wings wrapped around her delicately as she stared ahead at the fire place “Hmm..” she’d softly hum

Just as they all collected amongst themselves, a tall gentleman with a stack of folders would rush into the room, rather late and somewhat flustered “Burt, I’m here. I need to get this done before they arr—.” he would freeze, looking at the couch of strangers

“Eeehhhhgh….”

“Yes. I can see that, Burt.” His would say, dejected. The man was attractive, but also quite common looking. It was a bit odd, but not all the way odd like the group of tenents. The gentleman would plop down his papers and straighten himself up a bit “Well… hello all. As you can clearly see, I am not Hilda Van Goyle. I’m her son, Nathan. Due to my mother taking a rather abrupt trip out of the country, I will be your temporary landlord.”

Leucosia would glanced towards the man, smiling softly as she’d looked back at the fire, nodding “a pleasure to meet you Nathan~” the siren hummed softly enough to not put him in a trance

Vanessa would glance back looking go Nathan as she felt her face flush red.. looking away immediately as she raised her wing to hide her face; feeling slightly embarrassed? She felt her face hot “A please to met a member of the Van Goyle family..” she said

Nathan would look up from his chaotic mess at the sound of the women’s voices. Now getting a look at the group of people, he felt rather embarrassed. These are supposed to be monsters, not supermodels. He would give a very awkward, stiff wave before continuing “A-as you all know, this bulging is designed to ensure each of yours safety as you live amongst human kind. We have accommodated each of your lifestyles to avoid any incidences. There are some things that will need to be checked on— oh. That’s awkward. A vampire and a werewolf?” he would look up spotting the two “….I’m assuming you two sorted it out?”

“I—.”

“Completely.” he would interject confidently

Melaina would raise a brow at him. She struggled to figure him out

“Excellent. One less worry then. As for… Leucosia?” he would look up again, searching for the face matching the name

Leucosia would turn her head hearing her name, raising a brow “and what of me..?” she said confused

“Yes, um just for you to know there is a ocean-mimicking pool which salt levels are adjustable. You’ll have access to it 24/7 to make sure you don’t dry out.”

Leucosia would look at him crazily.. as she couldn’t help but laugh “I— I don’t need water to survive you know, but thank you for the thought..” she said, looking away

1

Nathan would blink, thrown off by that. She had no idea the obstacles he jumped through to get that damn pool installed, but he would dumbfoundedly reply “Right… lovely.” he would awkwardly scratch out a line in his notes

“I have a hunch people don’t research sirens huh..” she said staring at the fire “I’ll use every now and then just so you know..”

“O-our apologies. Sirens aren’t native here so our research must be lacking.” he would say sincerely. He would lightly smile when she sympathetically offered to still occasionally take advantage of the pool

04:05

“And lastly, you must be Vanessa.” he would say, looking to the demon.

.she nodded lowering her wing looking at him “yeah..”

Luca sighed quietly as she leaned against Barrett looking at Nathan as he continued to talk

Barrett would raise a brow at the very friendly siren. He wouldn’t push her off. He did wonder if this was a move or not, though. They did just meet, afterall

“Yes, so any religious artifacts containing any source of holiness have been removed from the premises to ensure your safety.”

Nessa stared at him and slowly nodded “thanks..? But uhm.. I am half angel half demon.. so holy stuff doesn’t affect me that badly.” she rubbed the back of her neck “but I appreciate it, it’s probably for the better”

Leucosia yawned as she’d quietly whisper to Barrett “don’t think into this, I’m just tired..”

1

Barrett would wouldn’t know what to say to that “….Okay? Got it.” he would awkwardly reply. Sirens were an odd breed

Nessa stared at him and slowly nodded “thanks..? But uhm.. I am half angel half demon.. so holy stuff doesn’t affect me that...

@Vanessa Yophiel (@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂) - jump Again, Nathan would gulp, somewhat embarrassed as he quickly scratches another line from his notes “I swear, mother. If you’re going to leave for Ireland, atleast leave better notes…” he’d mutter, irritated with the absent woman

18:31

“Well then!” he would sigh, trying to collect his thoughts “That’s all the notes that I have for you guys. Burt can escort each of you to your rooms. Any questions you have for me before we dismiss?”

“Uh, yeah. Am I the only guy who applied to this place?”

“You were. We were quite surprised. You seemed to have been very excited by the kitchen backsplash over the phone.”

Barrett would grumble something about liking the detailing as the tips of his ears turned red with embarrassment

“Um, I have a question, too. When it comes to allergies, I can’t handle garlic. I don’t know if anyone cooks with garlic here, but just making sure that the kitchen is wiped down after cooking with it would be great.”

“Oh, yes. That was in my notes, too. Barrett, we have removed our authentic silverware, nothing in the house is made with iron… Any other allergies?”

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

“Iron and copper—“ Leucosia chimed, raising her head up as she looked at Nathan

“er.. not that I’m aware of?” Nessa said shrugging

@Talhia💕

“Great. Enjoy the spread of food and Burt can show you to your rooms whenever you’re ready.”

“I think I’m ready now..” she said standing up, as she stretched “I don’t think I want to hear any more .. “are you a fae” statements..” she said as she’d grabbed her duffle bag, and suitcase walking towards Burt “Please.. show me to my room~” she said waiting for him to lead

Nessa nodded as she looked at Melaina “this may be a rude question but I always wondered,what does garlic to do vampires ..?”

Burt would groan as he lead Luca down the hall to a well decorated room with accommodations like a humidifier, a large tub, and even seashell detailing

“Oh, it’s not rude at all. I break out in hives and makes it very hard to breathe. The aroma of it can even burn my lungs.”

“huh.. interesting.. I wondered how vampires developed and allergy to that. Holy does the same.. burns me when I touch it.. I don’t want to even imagine what it will do if I were to somehow ingest it..”

𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂 started a thread. 10/22/2023 04:33

“Your parent’s love story must be incredible though! A demon and an Angel.” she would say, super invested

“Archdemon and Archangel falling in love is rather odd..” she said chuckling “my mom was an Archdemon, beezebulb, also known as gluttony or the devil right hand woman. My father was Gabriel .. gods right hand.. two odds serving their “masters” and yet.. defying all they believed in for love..” Vanessa said shrugging, chuckling slightly “they met during Armageddon, my mom commanded the demons and my father, commanded the angels, they met during a battle where they fought on a roof.. but I guess being trapped on earth for seven years.. they started to run into each other more and started to see one another secretly..and well, the rest is history..” “so.. kind of incredible? Not really..”

“……wow.” she would say, dismayed.

“……My parents met filling up their gas.”

1

Vanessa blinked as she looked towards Barrett.. slowly nodding “that’s still cute tho?” shed awkwardly chime as she looked back towards the vampire “What about you how did your parents meet?”

1

“Oh, they met in 1342. They’re sort of had an on and off relationship throughout the ages. When they have decades of romance, they usually settle down and have children. I’m the youngest of their fourth generation.” she would smile

“So they take decades apart?” Barrett would raise a brow

“Well forever for mortals is different than forever for vampires. All of eternity is quite a lot of time to get sick of each other.” she would joke with a shrug

“Huh…” he would say. The way he furrowed his brow made it seem like he had a thought about it

Melaina would frown. There, again! Another moment of him being cold when it came to her. “What?” she would press, wanting to challenge him a bit

Barrett would be taken aback “Wha— nothing.”

“Is there something the matter with the way my parents operate?”

“No! It’s like you said, their forever is different from ours.”

“Ours?”

“W-well, yeah! I’m just agreeing with you! It’s very different from what I’ve experienced—.”

“You mean from werewolves.”

“Well, that would be my experience, wouldn’t it?” he would retort as the conversation grew more hostile

“And how so?”

Barrett would bite his tongue, obviously holding back his true opinion “…I think I’ve had enough.” he would get up, quite heated as he balled his hands into fists as he stormed off “Burt. Room. Please.”

Melaina’s face would be scrunched up into a frown, also upset

And so it begins

00:49

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Shed watched this awkward interaction wanting to chime in and say something but it was too late, as Barrett requested to be shown to his room “Er… you okay..?” Nessa said as suddenly a faint laughter could be heard in the distance

Cindy would be on a chair a bit further from that group sitting sideways, her legs dangling on the arm of the chair, she’d be wearing stiletto knee high boots, with jeans and a crop corset , showing off her beautiful dark skin, her head tilted over looking at the nephalam and the vampire “That was quite the intense conversation, though I don’t think it should have escalated that far..” she spoke as she got up, the woman was tall atleast 6’2 with the heels as she’d approached, leaning forward on the sofa looking at the two, her tail softly swaying “but none the less, entertaining”

@Talhia💕

“Well, I’m glad you enjoyed it.” she would say, still upset “I’ve never had someone so easily make me act out like that— oh…. Maybe i pushed to hard— but the judgement in his face—!”

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Cindy watched amused as the vampire continued to be flustered, and hop over the sofa revealing her rather fluffy tail as she’d lay down “Judgement? Sweetheart I think he was just confused and you took it as judgement .. and escalated the situation” she said looking at her , her golden eyes glowing “but hey, he didn’t tear you a new one which is a plus” she said smiling, showing off her rather longer, and very sharp k-9s

“Take a deep breath Melaina!” she chimed in looking towards the distraught vampire “before you say something your going to regret! He left.. ignore his judgement and just continue one.. maybe one day you two will hash it out and become friends who knows?” @Talhia💕

Melaina would bite her inner cheeks. Had she really messed this up? And she was planning to not be the problem in their dynamic “Uggh, I’m so dumb…” she would cover her face

Cindy would nod to herself, only stopping as Vanessa gave her a sharp look “Hmph.. well I’ll go check up on that other wolf~” she’d playfully hum getting up leaving to find Barrett

“hey it’s fine.. just maybe next time think? I notice you react to your emotions quicker and I used to be like that, I lost all my friends that way, and realized I had to take a step back and think before any actions..”

Barrett would be watching Burt (very slowly) Carey his luggage up as he grew frustrated ………Oh for the love of— I can carry my own bag! Just tell me to room and I will be off—!”

*carry

Burt would wave him off, determined to do it himself, leaving Barrett quietly fuming

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

“allow me to just…” Cindy would swoop in, grabbing Barrett’s luggage from Burt as she’d hand it to Barrett, pivoting as her tail hit his side , it felt like a very soft pillow hitting him as she’d looked to Burt “Just tell us where the room is.. please” she’d smile, leaning down slightly looking at Burt “the poor puppy is already mad and I don’t think you want to see his angry side..”

Burt would let out a heavy sigh before a few moans and grunts— his way of speaking, which only those familiar with undead would understand. He would give up and point up stairs, signaling a right turn and the number three

Poor Burt

1

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

“uh huh.. uhuh got it thanks” she said as she’d motion Burt to follow as they walked up the flights of stairs and towards the right heading to room three “And here you are.. see how easy it was if you just vocalized your voice more..”

Burt would grunt and moan a long rant that would completely go other Barrett’s head, but he was sure the zombie was calling him too dumb to understand

1

*over- Jesus

Cindy Alamea

“uh huh.. uhuh got it thanks” she said as she’d motion Burt to follow as they walked up the flights of stairs and towards the right heading to room three “And here you are.. see how easy it was if you just vocalized your voice more..”

I mean still gonna be this reply right here ^^

1

Burt would grumble, walking away to help someone else

“….Do you understand him?” he would ask Cindy

“Meh.. I just know he’s annoyed other than that, nope”

“Ah…. Fair enough guess.” he would carefully take his bag from Cindy “Thanks.”

“mhm anytime, gotta help out a fellow wolf”

“Yeah, you might just keep me sane here. I knew getting a vampire housemate would be a possibility. I just forgot how irritating they are— granted I think it’s just the Vampire/Werewolf inherent curse to hate each other. She probably hasn’t been around wolves before so her inherent initial fury is just manifesting through me. Luckily I have experienced multiple vampires and am now completely sane around them.” he would finish his sentence proudly….. but the poor bloke had been squeezing the handle of his bag too hard, leaving a massive dent

Cindy would merely smile, nodding as he ranted on “Hmp.. I suppose so, or maybe it was miscommunication from what I heard..” she’d shrug “But I’m not one to judge.. but if you think vampires are annoying wait until you meet a werepire.. they are truly annoying” she’d tease as she’d lean back on the wall “but if the vampire hasn’t been around wolves then.. why blame her for getting hostile? She probably feels scared— no sorry I’ll reiterate she does feel scared.. and nervous, I could practically smell the fear from her.. so every little thing you do or say she’s going to retort.. and you’ll just have to let it off your shoulders.. you know rather than getting up and balling them hands of yours into a fist” “But then again; who am I to judge? Or put my nose into places that it doesn’t belong..” *she’d say watching has left a dent in his baggage” *Hmp.. well I’ll leave you be then you need to cool off I can tell”

Barrett would be reminded again that his recently broken nose had completely inhibited his sense of smell. He should have seen her nervousness trying to initially give a good impression, and then reacting to his best attempts to distance himself from her— to be fair, he did that to avoid this exact scenario! He would see Cindy look down at his arm, to which his sight was led to his down damaged back “Son of a—!”

Cindy chuckled as she pushed herself off the wall, walking over towards Barrett and gently caressing his face with her claws , as she’d lower her claws and began to walk off towards her room “just remember to calm down..” she said as the echo of her stilettos would fade away as she walked further down to room 10, leaving him be

Taken aback by the sudden soft caress, he would blink as the woman left, stilettos clicking “……I’m gonna need to hang out with that Nathan bloke.” he would say, now wondering if that was a move

Barrett is already too through

Melaina and Vanessa would be escorted to their rooms which were just beside each other

“Eeurrragh eiiii…” he would say before dropping their luggage and shuffling off

“…. My undead is so rusty, I feel so bad I can’t understand half of what the poor guy is saying.”

“thank you Burt.” she smiled looking at him as she’d then look towards Melaina “Thankfully that language is so common in hell..”

“Well, thanks for being so kind to me. I literally have no idea why I reacted like that. Do you think he’d appreciate baked cookies as an apology?

Nessa would shrug as she’d set her bags in front of her doors, looking at Melaina “I think just a verbal apology is fine.. but you do what you feel is best” she simply smiled as her luggage would began to float, revealing two shadow like figures behind her as one would open the door for her, waving subtly to her as she’d step in

Melaina would watch semi in awe and would wave to Vanessa before she disappeared into her room.

Cindy would step out her room, as she’d bump into the siren by mistake, rubbing her head she’d glance down towards her

“ow.. watch where your going..” * she’d say rubbing her head looking up seeing how Cindy was captivated by her eyes* “hello.. earth to wolf” she’d wave

as Cindy snapped out leaning on the wall “I haven’t seen a siren in decades~ they are more beautiful than I imagine” she’d coo

Leucoisa would merely smirk, running her fingers along the females chin walking off “I know~” she’d hum walking off to explore

Cindy would snap out the trace rubbing her head as she’d blink looking around seeing the siren gone.. growling softly she went to search for an amulet to not be attracted to the sirens aura

As the day soon came to nightfall, Melaina would quickly be making a small batch of cookies to surprise Barrett with an apology— specifically snickerdoodles. She was going to make chocolate chip, but in all honesty she didn’t know if Barrett was allergic to chocolate or not. She figured she’d offend him if she asked

Burt would enter the kitchen and would groan a greeting

“Evening, Burt! Don’t mind me, just baking some cookies.”

“Eurareugh reeeaaahh.. ckk.” he would reply

Melaina would dissect some of the words in his sentence “…Yes, they do smell good! Thank you.”

“Auragh, eurareughhhh ckk.”

“………Thank you?”

Facepalming, he would point to the table of ingredients. Specifically, a bag of what she had assumed was sugar…..which was actually salt

“Wha—!” she would snatch up the bag. The writing was too ancient for her to make out, but it had been in the pantry so she had just assumed “Why do we have so much salt???”

Burt would draw a star in the air followed by a circle, the universal sign for witchcraft

“Oh nooooo!” she would groan as she took out the tray of cookies. “I used so much of that salt! I didn’t think to taste it because human food is so unpleasant! I just assumed that’s how snickerdoodles taste!”

00:36

Melaina would sadly pick up a cookie “….Maybe they won’t be that bad?” she would look to Burt for reassurance

Burt would sympathetically pick up a cookie and fry a bite. After a long moment of silence, Bury would open his mouth, to which not only would the cookie fall out but also his highly offended, salted tongue.

00:39

As Melaina jumped back, Burt would pick up his detached tongue from the ground and would take it to wash off in the sink

“…….So you think he’ll notice?”

Talhia💕 started a thread. 10/24/2023 01:24

Cindy would be down in the library, going through books as she eventually found the one she was looking for, just a cheesy romance style kind of book as she’d sit down and began to read it ..

Leucosia on the other hand would sigh.. growing annoyed that all those who laid eyes on the siren fell for her.. she’d dig into her pocket taking out a beautiful golden pendant and put it on.. the pendant was used to help weaken her abilities so others weren’t as drawn to her , also known as a “core siren” she’d be walking down the empty halls on the 6th floor, curious what was really up here

LMAO nah Luca already got her eyes on Nathan

Cindy is just her

LMAO nah Luca already got her eyes on Nathan

Oh gotcha. I couldn’t tell if it was Luca or Vanessa liking him

Shed find herself back where they were sitting on the couch by the fireplace, holding her hand up to the flames just warming up

Nathan would shuffle through, carrying some tools when he spotted Luca “Oh, Miss Black. Did you find your housing okay?” he would smile

the siren would glance up at him . And back towards the fire “what are you exactly..your ears there sharp on the top.. dragonic perhaps?” she questioned completely avoiding his question..

Nathan would be taken aback by the change of subject but would go along with it. Reaching for one ear, he would answer “Fae, actually. Only a quarter though. My mother is half Fae.”

“oh..? So just quarter fae and.. human I assume..” she said looking back at him, resting her head on the back of the chair “I heard faes are beautiful I guess the myth isn’t wrong..” she’d slyly smirk.. remembering how Melanie brought that up.. she figured she’d slip that into the conversation

The pointed tips of Nathan’s ears would turn pink at that. He would nervously chuckle, thinking the siren was just being kind and it was only his foolish head thinking she was flirting with him “That’s very kind, Miss Black, especially from your kind. I’m sure you have high standards when it comes to beauty.”

“Missss Black~” the siren cooed softly fiddling with her necklace “just call me Luca, please, miss black sounds too formal..” she said, her voice gentle , calming.. echoing around? Him it seemed like as she’d lower her necklace back down so it rested on her chest “As for myself, I don’t have high standards.. I have high standards of other sirens only.. but for others.. no…”

Nathan would feel a tingly sensation and the echoes tickled the hairs on the back of his neck. She was definitely a siren. “…Ah, right. Of course” he would say, clearing his throat “Did you find your housing okay… Luca?” he would reframe his question, making a note to use her nickname from now on. It was cute and boyish, the exact opposite of the woman the name belonged to. He liked it, though. It made her seem rather down to Earh

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

“I did.. thank you.. very oceany like? Tho I think you guys designed the rooms on purpose to make it feel like home? I don’t recall the ocean having tacky decorations” she said, chuckling as she’d read her head on her arm now “Is your room also like that, or is your room a huge master bedroom since you are a Van Goyle after all..?”

Damn, not tacky

“Ah, sorry about that. We have a designer that comes in and helps decorate the rooms. They love a good theme. And no, the master bedroom is my mother’s. Mine is just the same as you all’s. I’ve never cared for large rooms anyways.” he would shrug, running a hand through his messy hair

“Hmp.. shame.. nothing wrong with a large room, more places to decorate and make it look all cute no? But I suppose you can do the same with a smaller room .. a smaller room is more cozy..” she’d shrug as she’d glanced over seeing Cindy come up from the library with Dei

“I told you.. that book is amazing you never trust me..” he’d grumble as Cindy would roll her eyes chuckling

@Talhia💕

Nathan was about to respond to Luca when he heard Cindy and Deimos’s voice, two long-standing tenants “Ah, Cindy, Deimos! This is Luca. She’s new here. Be sure to tell her how much you both love your landlord and that the price is practically a steal.” he would chuckle

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Deimos would hear his voice and approach as he introduced the siren to them, he’s looked over to the siren with an awe, eyeing her up and down and then staring into her eyes.. captived as the warlock would form a small smile on his fragile face “Nathan are you trying to get this beautiful women to like the place?” he chuckled looking back at Luca “it’s a great place, fair priced.. and lots of things to do..” he said, his voice gruff with a hint of sweetness to it

Cindys tail swayed softly side to side glaring at the siren.. and eyeing down noticing the necklace she was wearing.. seeing that the werewolf eased a bit and nodded subtly “yeah.. what the warlock said” she merely said looking towards Nathan curious to what game he was playing..

Luca looked at the two, confused slightly as she looked back to Nathan, wondering why he even asked that question to begin with.. @Talhia💕

Nathan would chuckle as he had been joking “Didn’t sound at all against your will. Well, I’ll say without a doubt these two are some of the best tenants we’ve had.” he would smile to Luca. Nathan would look more relaxed now. Not as stressed as earlier. His grin was a bit goofy and very endearing. This smile immediately faded at the sound of a crash and a moan

“Eeuurrrahh gheeueergh….”

Nathan would sigh, the stress now returning to his face “Well, this was a fun break. Hope you enjoy your time Luca. If you have any needs, please come to me.” he would give a half hearted smile before rushing off the inspect the damage

Barrett would enter the room, frowning “The hell was that crash?” he would ask the group, puzzled

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Cindys ears perked hearing the crash as her head turned to the sound, and then looking at Burt

Her eyes never left Nathan’s even after he turned away from her to burt excusing himself Leucosia would watch him run off, as Cindy would snap her fingers in front of her “What! What..”

“someone’s lusted~ I’ve never seen a siren be infatuated with someone usually it’s the other way around no?”

Deimos would hit Cindy gently with his cane as he’d roll his eyes “why do you care so much?”

“what!! I’m curious” she say as she’d look at Barrett now “What have you been up to?” @Talhia💕

“Oh you know. Just finishing my paperwork in order to be transferred to Quotidan’s Prescient.” he would say, rather excited about his new job

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

Melaina would enter, half asleep as her fuzzy slippers would shuffle her to the kitchen for her midday thirst

23:13

“Heeeellooo” she would greet the group with a high pitched yawn, dark hair all askew

Barrett would jump at the sight of her “Oh, y’all really do sleep like the dead.” he mumble, brushing off his jacket

Melaina would frown at the comment “Just for you to know, this is not common. I happen to suffer from daylight insomnia so when I actually do get some sleep, it’s a big deal.”

“By the way, is anyone working a mid or late shift? We can commute together to work!”

Nathan would reenter, hair and sweater now soaking wet with a wrench in his hand I can also drive anyone who needs it.” he would raise his wrench, volunteering

Burt would shuffle through, equally as wet with a drain cleaner in his hands

17:31

“Ruiieegh eueghhhrr”

“No, you’re not driving again. That was a disaster. You ended up having to fake your own death to avoid insurance issues— twice.”

17:33

Bb: “Reghhggg.” he would respond, waving off Nathan’s words as he grumbled out of the room (edited)

OOP wait

“Reghhggg.” he would respond, waving off Nathan’s words as he grumbled out of the room

@𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

“work—“ she said glancing at the two raising a brow subtly confused

“morning shifts for me only.. I like to have my nights widdeee open” she said leaning back on the wall

@Talhia💕

𝓢𝓪𝓫𝓫𝔂

@Talhia💕

Oh shit I never saw this

“Ah. See I worked a day shift once, didn’t end so well. My day phobia has been acting up a bit. The sun, it just—.” Melaina would shudder at the thought of it
