Her laughter echoed in the empty diner, face shining with merriment. "And let me tell you, their dongs were about this long..!" Her hands were set about a foot and a half apart. "It was the craziest thing I've ever experienced!"

Duci's companion chuckled, clearly amused by the blonde's retelling of her crash-landing on an uncivilized planet where she had spent the better part of the year marooned. While it seemed that she had lost a significant amount go weight and was noticeably tanner, she mostly seemed happier.

"Our comms kept going out and I tried hacking into them by plugging into the system, but we still mostly got static. I never thought I would enjoy a life without electronics, but it was strangely peaceful. The planet was beautiful—we never even learned the name of it, or its people. I'm pretty good with languages, but I never learned more than a few words of communication. We relied on a crude form of hand gestures." Shakes her head, taking a long and loud slurp from her chocolate milkshake.

Sighs contentedly, leaning back in her seat. "Ahhh, it's the little things. I have never been so grateful for a nice, hot shower and good company. Thanks for indulging me, Bob."

Her server gave a her a two-fingered salute, "Anytime, ma"am.? He smiled and was off. She left him several coins more than was strictly necessary before scooting out.

She didn't get that black eye or any other goodies she'd been expecting, but she had fun with Sabine and Melanie. This blonde, however, was still determined to get that black eye.

I want to hold you close Skin pressed against me tight Lie still, and close your eyes girl So lovely, it feels so right

I want to hold you close Soft breath, beating heart As I whisper in your ear I wanna —— tear you apart

She Wants Revenge - Tear You Apart

Two nights she'd spent in the company of beautiful women. Glorious, beautiful women. Nothing's felt right since she came back. She hadn't slept, she hadn't eaten. A life of beating things (more like taking a beating) and booze. It was a feeling, somewhere in the recesses of her conscience, like an itch she couldn't satisfy. She was high on energy and two 13.1 mile long runs plus dueling wasn't helping her simmer down. She had a black eye and a busted lip, but that wasn't satisfying her a bit. She wanted more, needed to feel alive. Every punch, every wound lit a fire inside, rekindled a burst of life. But it wasn't enough, she wanted her heart to skip a beat, burst, her skin to tingle, catch fire, spread the warmth.

She wanted to squeeze something until it burst.

So denied so I lied are you the now or never kind In a day and a day love I'm gonna be gone for good again Are you willing to be had are you cool with just tonight Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well

Put your name on the line along with place and time Wanna stay not to go I wanna ditch the logical Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well

All my time is froze in motion Can't I stay an hour or two or more Don't let me let you go Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well

Here's to the nights we felt alive Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry Here's to goodbye Tomorrow's gonna come too soon

Here's to the Night by Eve 6

Sometimes she considered trying to find another planet side job, but office life was too stagnant for her desires. Maybe relationships were, too. Fingertips drifted over her lips, remembering Jochin's kiss all to well before work called the next day. She just got back, not wanting to miss IFL as it opens. Maybe she would get some luck in the duels at least.

I Wanna Be Bad - Willa Ford

Duci made the mistake of agreeing to attend a late night costume party at the docks. She mostly agreed out of respect, but partly just to shut the guy up. The host's name was Max and he was an alright guy, a little weird, but her gut always got queasy when she was around him. He typically called on her every few months to run goods for him to his home planet. Max was a good payer and she couldn't complain on the business front. She sighed, peering through her costume choices and after a while finally settled on policewoman; she wanted to be bad tonight.

What she really should have done was selected a nun costume. Perhaps the night (morning") wouldn't have ended in a busted lip or black eye.

Hefting the double axe with both hands, she swung angrily at the post. Over and over again, from the left then from the right. Duci was frustrated on many levels, restless at still being home. Her spaceship, aptly named Blonde Bombshell, was currently being repaired.

Actually, thinking of that made her more angry. Growling, she thought of the damage done to it. Double B was a relatively decent-sized spaceship with a cozy cockpit, sleeping quarters, lounge area, engine room and a spacious cargo bay that could easily convert for passengers. It also featured a pod bay, atmospheric sensors, retractable weapons, and shield webbing. She wanted to have stealth capabilities integrated into the ship, something to make her blend in or invisible like a chameleon, but was having a hard time finding someone who could do it. It would have prevented the beating her ship took. No, that's a lie. She would have crashed any way, if she wanted to be realistic. She just wanted double B back and to be back in space.

The next swing she took at the post literally cut it in half, wood splintering loudly and shredding. Lips pursed together, disappointed by the damage she wrought. Somehow, being surrounded by people was lonelier than being in the vast expanse of space.

Halloween, we finally meet.

Duci painted her face to resemble a skull with painstaking detail. It aptly hid the bruises in various stages of healing. The paint job extended down her arms, hiding those bruises, too, and to any other exposed flesh. She still felt hollow, a little perplexed. She took a few steps back, stepping away from the lit mirror to assess her full costume.

It wasn't exactly spooky, nor was it cartoony. If not for those lustrous curls, she would blend right into the crowd to the any eye that didn't know any better. After leaving the inn in the wee hours with the heavy knowledge that Terry was Melanie's ex-wife, Cianan dropped her off at home and and she forced herself to run 20 miles. The remainder of the day she spent tuning up her motorbike and replacing parts in the basement car level of Luks Condos. It only slightly mollified her restless unease.

To further assuage her discontent, she took the bike out for a ride. A quick little quiet escape in a busy city.

Half of My Heart - John Mayer

She was barely able to keep afloat, set adrift in a sea of liquor-induced bad decisions. Tumultuous waves came crashing down on her, threatening to push her beneath the surface and drown her with regret.

But she refused to live in regret.

What had happened, happened. They were conscious, adult decisions. No one could make her feel bad about that.

—-

It was in the quiet moments between awake and asleep, when it's a mixture of night and morning and intoxication had worn off, that matters of the heart were accounted for. A deep down feeling that cut her from the inside out, sent her gasping for air and nails digging into her palms until blood was drawn.

Regret and loneliness were painful reminders that while they were adult decisions, they may not have been the best in the long run.

Oh yeah Oh yeah

So scared of breaking it That you won't let it bend And I wrote two hundred letters I will never send Sometimes these cuts are so much deeper than they seem You'd rather cover up I'd rather let them bleed So let me be And I'll set you free (Oh yeah)

I am in misery There ain't nobody who can comfort me (Oh yeah) Why won't you answer me" The silence is slowly killing me (Oh yeah)

Girl, you really got me bad You really got me bad I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna get you back

Your salty skin and how It mixes in with mine The way it feels to be Completely intertwined Not that I didn't care It's that I didn't know It's not what I didn't feel, It's what I didn't show So let me be And I'll set you free

I am in misery And there ain't nobody who can comfort me (Oh yeah) Why won't you answer me" The silence is slowly killing me (Oh yeah)

Girl, you really got me bad You really got me bad I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna get you back

You say your faith is shaken And you may be mistaken To keep me wide awake and waiting for the sun I'm desperate and confused So far away from you I'm getting there, I don't care where I have to run

Why do you do what you do to me, yeah" Why won't you answer me, answer me, yeah" Why do you do what you do to me, yeah" Why won't you answer me, answer me, yeah"

I am in misery There ain't nobody who can comfort me (Oh yeah) Why won't you answer me? The silence is slowly killing me (Oh yeah)

Misery by Maroon 5

Sometimes all she needed was a little guidance. A small push in the wrong direction. Duci was easily led astray, big brown eyes so gullible and trusting. Instead of brawling, the blonde hit the clubs to imbibe and drown in her misery. Swaying sensually to the music, bodies moving all around. Someone came up behind her, grinding into her. She closed her eyes, lost in the music. Hands touched her all over and she was sold.

When you came in the air went out And every shadow filled up with doubt I don't know who you think you are But before the night is through I wanna do bad things with you

I'm the kind to sit up in his room Heart sick an' eyes filled up with blue I don't know what you've done to me But I know this much is true I wanna do bad things with you, okay

When you came in the air went out And all those shadows there filled up with doubt I don't know who you think you are But before the night is through I wanna do bad things with you I wanna do real bad things with you

I don't know what you've done to me But I know this much is true I wanna do bad things with you I wanna do real bad things with you

You ever have one of those mornings where you wake up and feel awesome? Duci woke up feeling like a million gold and like she looked just as good. Sexy tunes wafted through the house, and she was a sight for sore eyes as she danced around as if she were at a club.

"You think you can give me wings?" Duci asked Juliana, who was busy consulting her Big Books of Potions(R).

"Yeah, sure," Juliana replied, waving her hand flippantly without looking. "I swear I saw a potion in here somewhere?" Meanwhile, she was already dumping weird, abstract items into the cauldron such as ox tongue and pixie dust.

That was probably where she went wrong.

An hour later, Duci was drinking from a flask of steaming, sparkly purple substance. She choked it down painfully while Juliana watched gleefully, oblivious to her test patient's suffering. "Well, how do you feel?" the potion lady inquired as the blonde sucked the last drop down.

"Light...very light?" Then there was a popping noise and a bunch of smoke. Juliana coughed, waving the dust away only to find that Duci had disappeared!

"Oh, no! What did I do!?" Then she felt a flick in the forehead. "Ow!" Juliana declared, rubbing her forehead. Then she heard a squeaky voice roar in her ear, "YOU TURNED ME INTO A SLIGHTLY OVERSIZED PIXIE, SILLY!"

Juliana fell to the floor laughing when she saw the pint-sized Duci flittering around.

From up here the city lights burn Like a thousand miles of fire And I'm here to sing this anthem Of our dying day

For a second I wish the tide Would swallow every inch of this city As you gasp for air tonight I'd scream this song right in your face If you were here I swear I won't miss a beat Cause I never Never have before

Duci pranced into Juliana's place in a rainbow dragon costume. "Make me a dragon!" the blonde demanded.

Juliana quirked a brow at her friend. "Why exactly?"

"I want to breathe FIRE!" she declared, cackling as she spun around, moving her shoulders as she pretended to flap her wings.

The diminutive brunette shook her head, tossing a few different ingredients into her cauldron. It began smoking as she added the next round. She stirred it a few times before adding in some chili peppers which then caused an explosive BOOM! The cauldron shot up with flames before quickly dying down. She poured the steaming concoction into a flask, handing it to Duci. "Have at it!"

I remember long ago How I wondered where I'd go While the blizzards, cold wind and snow Pounded outside my window.

California sunset Going down in the west All the colors in the sky Kiss another day goodbye.

Land of beauty, space and light Land of promise, land of might You're my home now and it's true California, here's to you.

California sunset Going down in the west All the colors in the sky Kiss another day goodbye.

This is a story about a girl named Lucky'

Early morning, she wakes up Knock, knock, knock on the door It's time for makeup, perfect smile It's you they're all waiting for They go" "Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?" And they say"

She's so lucky, she's a star But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking If there's nothing missing in my life Then why do these tears come at night

Lost in an image, in a dream But there's no one there to wake her up And the world is spinning, and she keeps on winning But tell me what happens when it stops" They go" "Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?" And they say"

"Best actress, and the winner is"Lucky!" "I'm Roger Johnson for Pop News standing outside the arena waiting for Lucky" "Oh my god"here she comes!"

Isn't she lucky, this Hollywood girl" She is so lucky, but why does she cry" If there's nothing missing in her life Why do tears come at night"

(I really can't stay) But, baby, it's cold outside (I've got to go away) But, baby, it's cold outside (This evening has been) Been hoping that you'd drop in (So very nice) I'll hold your hands they're just like ice

(My mother will start to worry) Beautiful, what?s your hurry (My father will be pacing the floor) Listen to the fireplace roar (So really I'd better scurry) Beautiful, please don't hurry (Well, maybe just half a drink more) Put some records on while I pour

(The neighbors might think) Baby, it's bad out there (Say what?s in this drink) No cabs to be had out there (I wish I knew how) Your eyes are like starlight now (To break this spell) I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

(I ought to say no, no, no, sir) Mind if I move in closer (At least I'm gonna say that I tried) What's the sense of hurting my pride (I really can't stay) Baby, don't hold doubt Baby, it's cold outside

(I simply must go) Baby, it's cold outside (The answer is no) Baby, it's cold outside (The welcome has been) How lucky that you dropped in (So nice and warm) Look out the window at the storm

(My sister will be suspicious) Gosh your lips look delicious (My brother will be there at the door) Waves upon a tropical shore (My maiden aunt's mind is vicious) Gosh your lips are delicious (But maybe just a cigarette more) Never such a blizzard before

(I got to get home) But, baby, you'd freeze out there (Say lend me a coat) It's up to your knees out there (You've really been grand) I thrill when you touch my hand (But don't you see) How can you do this thing to me

(There's bound to be talk tomorrow) Think of my life long sorrow (At least there will be plenty implied) If you caught pneumonia and died (I really can't stay) Get over that old doubt Baby, it's cold Baby, it's cold outside

Baby It's cold Outside by Dean Martin

If she was going to be honest with herself, she was a little nervous. She spent most of the afternoon making beef tacos, veggie tacos, homemade tortillas, chips and salsa so both sides of the food pyramid could get their eat on. Duci filled a case with bottles of tequila and Spanish soda so everyone could get a solution if they wished, and there was a stack of sombreros ready to go.

"Arrriba!" she cackled, clicking the tongs together as she danced side to side in the kitchen.

——- Later, after arriving for her training shift in the Annex:

Sombreros, bottles of tequila, and Spanish soda for all! She pulls out a large serving dish of each of the following: beef street tacos, veggie tacos, various toppings, chips and assorted salsas. Reaches far into the basket, dipping her head into, and shuffles around noisily. After a few moments, she pulls out napkins, and plates that disintegrate on their own when done eating.

She woke up, staring at the aphotic ceiling. It was early, before the sun began to rise. Unmoving, she simply enjoyed the stillness. This was part of what she loved about mornings: the quiet. There was also something empowering about knowing you're awake while everyone else is sound asleep. The elongated shadows began shrink as the light of day swelled along the horizon, illuminating the room. Her curtains had always been sheer so she could enjoy light of any sort at all times of the day.

Today was no exception.

Duci basked in the warm sunlight like a cat as it broke through the clouds for a little bit. Unable to decipher the passage of time, and not particularly needing to, she laid there for what felt like days, until the clouds overtook her sunshine.

"Guess I should wake up," she told herself.

Instead she went back to bed.

It had been by pure spontaneity that she made it for the opening night of the Vampires Exhibit at the Otherworld Museum, having caught a flyer for it just as she flew back into town.

Duci smiled broadly for Delphine as she greeted her on the porch, gladly accepting the offer of wine as she began her taste test with the Drunk Mermaid. Much like the woman before her, she had also dressed in reds and black but the blonde didn't come near in elegance. "I love your dress," she breathed out with a gush. "Look forward to seeing you around town sometime," she said, waggling fingers as she continued on inside.

Immediately, she joined a group being guided through the exhibit by Robert himself. If given the opportunity, she introduced herself and asked a little bit more on the differences in vampires here in Rhy'din and in Robert's homeworld, genuinely curious in the difference in attitudes and about blood as a casual commodity as quoted by Thomas Cross.

By the time she left, she chatted with a few around and exchanged hellos with Saila, as well as managed to try all three wines. She, too, was surprised by how much she enjoyed the Bloodwyne, but little topped the Fae wine in enjoyment.

Duci arrived for Peaches' and King's Pool Party Extravaganza armed with a small arsenal of colorful water balloons and three gift baskets of boozy, chocolatey, and spa-y gifts a token of thanks for the hostesses (all of which were strangely floating around behind her until she either handed them over to their intended giftees, or threw them). In between possibly touring the place with King (holy crap is that a closet full of sneakers?!), sharing champagne with Peaches, flitting around to say her hellos and surreptitiously bomb attendees at random with her stash, she burned a solitary word before finally taking off her white dress and sandals to float lazily in the pool with a jungle juice for company.

Duci didn't stay long, but she joined the heavy flow of well-doers supporting the foundation's Kids of Summer Gala. Smiles and hellos were exchanged with those she knew while enjoying the tasty morsels and plentiful beverages, but she didn't leave without making a decent donation.

Renegade Regalia opening

Duci could never turn down new shinies, and she even made an effort to bid in addition to entering the raffle! Champagne in hand, she browsed the collections, oohing and ahhing at how each piece sparkled and glittered in its own unique manner. If she had the chance, she spoke with the proprietor a little bit, placing an order of new earrings, before helping herself to some cake balls while outside and mingling with other shoppers before she left.

VAMPIRES End of Exhibit Party at the Otherworld Museum

Duci arrived earlier than she had anticipated to do so, just a few minutes before it was supposed to start. She lurked around the fringes of the property, studiously reapplying her lipstick in the lamplights. After a few minutes, she heads in, smiling broadly for Delphine. "Evening, you look lovely!" she comments truthfully, hastily writing the number three down on the slip of paper with the given pen. After folding the paper and dropping it into the slot, she lays the pen back down.

With a twinkle in her eye, she moves on to mingle, a glass of bloodwyne in one hand and occasional nibbles on cheese and crackers taken. A waggle of fingers for those she doesn't know, and air kisses and pleasantries for those she does as she happens upon them. The blonde doesn't hesitate to pause by the occasional bystander and share thoughts on the exhibit. If she happens upon Robert, she's sure to congratulate him on such a job well done for the exhibit. "Thank you for sharing," she imparts upon him with a dip of her head.

Several trips are made to the bar to ensure she has at least a glass of each again, but her evening ends with her first. The hour grows late and the crowd dwindles down....Duci surreptitiously slinks out as quietly as she arrived. Hopefully not drunk enough that she stumbles over her own heels.

She received a lot of weird comments the last two days. People asking about why she grew out and immediately cut her long hair; or what really is the story behind looking like a homeless bum' It was beyond baffling. Even more curious was the strange way Mez was behaving and the fact that little things appeared to be rearranged around the penthouse.

"What in the name of Hades?" she frowned. Maybe she was just losing her mind, forgetful or something.

Duci shook her head, fanning herself while doing a 360* twirl in the mirror. "Ugh, it's so hot Mez..." she whined, looking at the polar bear splayed on the tile floor in an attempt to stay cool. She sympathized. "I know, I'll turn the A/C up sweets." Squatting, she rubbed the bears head and gave kisses. "I'll bring back fresh fish!" she promised before heading out to seek out some duels.

Duci arrived with a long, thin box in her arms. Making a beeline for Fin, she patiently waited in the line of people to give him his gift and a kiss to his cheek while squeezing him with one arm in a loose hug. "Congratulations on the opening, I hope you find your gift useful." There's a coquettish waggle of her brows before she winks and abandons him to a new wave of wellwishers after a few more words of pleasantries.

Helping herself to a sandwich and a beer, she takes a look around and mingles with others. Hellos for all the familiar faces, and the unfamiliar, kisses reserved for her girlfriends and Ketch's butt is getting another squeeze. Hey, fair game!

Before leaving for the Caller Meet & Greet, she exchanges one of her business cards for his, should he ever need transportation or shipping services. It's possible she also nabs a magnet.

As for the 3rd Quarterly Caller Meet & Greet....Duci's prepared with a swimsuit on underneath that dress!

Duci wasn't sure how long she'd be able to hang out before taking off again, but she was sure to stop by, steal a beer, flit through the crowd for pleasantries, cheer on the potential squires and duelists alike, and say hello and give air kisses to the Empress before slipping right back out.

Duci had never attended the Koi Show & Auction before, but on a whim she decided to attend this year. Conveniently, she was feeling very Koi in her attire. The blonde didn't particularly care for fish as companions, as she had Mez who ate fish for fun. Hugs were given to Peaches and Terry, and at the Siren's bidding, she found herself on the tour.

She had to admit, koi were beautiful, and it was easy to catch herself stopping to admire them. Subtly, she noted how interested Terry was with the fish before she left to return to work. Even though she watched her buy one, she decided to buy her another. It was the most beautiful one she had seen, and she appropriately named it Deuces.

It was an asagi butterfly koi that shimmered a blue-silver among the orange and white scales. A diamond in the rough. "It's beautiful," she murmured, carefully transporting it home to prepare to give it to Terry as a gift at a later date.

If she was being honest, she didn't know Sadie or Kruger at all. However, she thought it would be rude to attend their Hot Mess birthday fight night without bearing gifts- that was just her personality. After subtly asking around, she finally found a few gifts for them both. For Sadie, she provided a mug and short that both said something about hot messes packaged in a dice cube gift box, she'd also find some wall decor and a candle in there. Kruger got a forged side table with a golden anvil sitting atop it with his name engraved upon it's topside. His gift merely had a bow on it because it was too complex to wrap. Both of them, however, received a bottle of whiskey tied with a bow- that part she came up with on her own.

Happy birthday!

Duci greeted Lucy with a bottle of expensive champagne as a gift for the hostess. Twin cheek kisses and a hug, exchanges some pleasantries before moseying on as the next guest arrives.

Remaining around the house at first, she says hellos and chats with friends and even strangers while imbibing and nibbling on food. She definitely left room to try at least one of each taco type and made sure to try each specialty cocktail, but the mango blackberry cooler was her favorite. As for the appetizers, she favored the mango ceviche shooters and kept helping herself to more at each chance she got.

Belly full of tacos, she parked next to a cooler and laid out her towel to soak up some sun and maybe more friendly faces. And beer.

Happy birthday, Sabine! Duci decided to crash the party and gift the birthday girl with a gift card to a local store that sells shoes and books in the same place. What girl could resist that, right?

Ducii · Date: 2016-11-21 17:21 EST

On a whim Duci had decided to attend the Wednesday matinee of 'The Wizard of Oz.' She saw a flyer on a run to the Marketplace, bedazzled by the colorful poster. "Ooh, pretty," she commented, grinning like a child to Christmas to herself. It had been a lot longer than she cared to admit since she had last attended anything, so she hurried home to change so that she could make it in time for the 12:30 curtain opening.

Dressed more minimally than usual, she arrived at the Shanachie Theater with little fanfare. Since she was still a little early, she bought a solitary ticket before opting to peruse the cafe for a bite to eat and a warm drink. She was quiet, enjoying watching other people. When she saw others beginning to enter and find their seats, she smiled at the server and lifted her purse with a wave. A few gold were left behind as tip.

Joining the throng of people, she provided her ticket to an usher to help her find her seat. She sat up in the stalls and to stage right, feeling antsy as she thanked the usher before seating herself. The amount of kids attending made her smile though, happy to see the Arts receiving their proper due.

Having been unfamiliar with the story prior, she gasped and oohed and ahhed appropriately. "Nice shoes," she murmured to herself with an appraising nod to the shoes. Who wouldn't kill for those?! "Those are some good friends she's found herself," Duci nodded, leaning forward with anticipation. There may have been a slight shriek of surprise when the Wicked Witch melts from water being dumped on her, and she ducked low in her seat, red with embarrassment.

In the end, she stood up and clapped boisterously for the cast and crew. "Bravo! Bravo!" Then she dipped out just as quietly as she arrived, a few winks and blown kisses for anyone who recognizes her.

It had felt immensely wonderful getting out for the matinee showing of 'The Wizard of Oz,' even if it hadn't involved any socializing on her part. Eregor, Saila and Sabine were all in the play, these were faces she recognized and knew and had no idea they were into performing arts. Duci frowned, saddened to realize how disconnected she had become from Rhy'din and its inhabitants, even her own friends. With that thought, she sought to remedy her sorrowful situation and make more of an effort to attend local events while she was planetside.

Duci arrived just at 11:00 when the party began, waiting patiently behind Thorn to greet her when she was done exchanging pleasantries with Lucy. After promising Thorn more hugs and catching up later, she turned to Lucy and gave her a light squeeze and twin cheek smooches. She came bearing no gifts, but hoped to find a time to meet up with Lucy for lunch or cocktails in the near future. She hadn't had the time to browse yet, but from her vantage point she saw how Lucy's excellent attention to detail gave the best possible viewing. "It looks beautiful, Lucy. You're quite talented. I'm going to browse some pieces, maybe buy one to add to my sparsely decorated place...Lunch or drinks soon' It's been too long!" Another squeeze before she ducked out of the way for the next person to compliment Lucy and to warm up with a hot cider.

The blonde flitted through the displays, her heart swelling with the amount of thought and dedication that must have gone into these pieces. One of her favorite things about Rhy'din was the diversity, but everyone needed a home. She smiled at the others in attendance, exchanging thoughts or just smiles as they passed. Debating making a purchase, she kept her eye on a tapestry and a utilitarian clay pot, considering throwing caution to the wind and getting both. Deciding to peruse the other shops on the lane before making a decision, she not only ended up taking advantage of some of their sales, but she also turned back around to Public to find Lucy so she could buy the tapestry and clay pot.

Duci made a point to find Rand and Val during the reception to congratulate them with hugs and cheek kisses, as well as their (maybe somewhat tacky) Bride and Groom wine glasses. A sign reading 'and they lived happily, ever after' and a gift card for a full couples spa and massage day remained wrapped somewhere on the gift table. The blonde enjoyed the delicious spread, said her hellos to those she knew, and took advantage of the hopefully bountiful choice of eligible bachelors (and maybe some not) to dance with before slipping out as quietly as she arrived.

Winterfest Yule Ball

Duci made an appearance, dashing through the crowd to schmooze and booze and catching a few dances with those she could.

Duci wouldn't be able to thank Peaches enough for providing the best way to ring in the New Year. Before the evening got off to a heavy start she was sure to find the proprietor and smother her in a hug and cheek kisses. Maybe a few bottles of classy champagne was gifted, too, not that she needed any.

The blonde lost herself in a sea of bodies, swayed by the heavy tide of music from each vicinity she she found herself buoyed in. While she didn't often indulge in letting herself, tonight she did. She wasn't Duci, she wasn't anyone but a girl having a good time. Shaking her tail feather with eyes mostly closed so she could feel the euphoria of the atmosphere didn't leave much room for talking when she kept herself heavily inundated with drinks.

It should come as no surprise that she favored the Cotton Candy Cosmo tonight.

Did you get a taste?

Duci always dressed nice for fight night, especially when she's calling :)

However, she was running a little late because she was taking Kheldar's Self Defense class at Hope's new Active Guard Gym.

Ducii · Date: 2017-01-25 00:33 EST

Duci offered Claire and Cooper both a sincere congratulations on the new distillery, and later on birthday hugs for the birthday boy. Indulging in a taste of each selection between appetizers, she purchased two bottles of every type, and 5 of the private label. Small talk and bright smiles were shared with all. She disappeared for a while to checkout some lingerie, but returned to stay and hangout (and more importantly, eat cake) before getting punted at the end of the night.

At the BLUSH opening... It was no surprise that Duci was self-indulgent in her desire to look and feel fabulous. When she was offered a cup of coffee one day asking what her cup size was, she giggled and promised she'd be there for the opening.

Upon arrival, she helped herself to a fig martini and some treats, then sought out the proprietor to extend her congrats on such a pristine establishment and novel idea. After exchanging pleasantries, and hellos with anyone she recognized, she perused the collection in rapt interest. Duci ended with a pomegranate champagne before stopping to buy a few pieces prior to departing. While her love life was less than stellar these days, she did buy a "blind tasting" for just in case.

Who knows, maybe she'd leave the distillery opening with a new "friend."

Buckets and buckets of ice cream to assuage the sad feels tonight as she calls. Ice cream for all! There are several dozen tubs of ice cream (each in a Koch Holdings portable individual-size ice cream freezer) in any combo of flavors you can imagine piled up on a table. Spoons and bowls and waffle cones/bowls and sprinkles and other assorted toppings are also piled around.

Come duel and eat your feelings, too!

Duci came to enjoy the festivities and eyeball the shinies, though it wasn't clear if she was planning on buying anything. She tended to try and keep it minimal lately, nothing too flashy or gaudy, but it was very obvious that she had her eye on that jewelry box. Enjoying the show while sipping a glass of delectable champagne, she wandered around and dropped uninvited to several conversations, but they were all kept brief to make up for her intrusion.

Toward the end, she hung outside and enjoyed more bubbly and sweet treats, happy to be leaving with a parting gift and a few purchases after all.

Duci chose to actually walk home instead of teleporting, a skip and excessive twirling in her step. With a happy sigh, she ran up the stairs and swiped into her penthouse. In a rush to get ready, she hopped in, throwing her shoes off and stripping en route to the bathroom for a quick wash. Feeling nice and clean, she wrapped a towel around herself and stepped into her massive walk-in closet. After a thoughtful moment, she rifled through a drawer and selected an elegant, white one piece suit. Letting the towel go, it pooled around her feet, and she stepped into the swimsuit. Tugging it on and slipping her arms into it, she moved on to select a dress, opting for a breezy pink kaftan. Heading to her wall of shoes, she grabbed a nude pair of heels and stepped into them. Stopping in front of the mirror, she grabbed a matching shade of lipstick and applied it neatly before dropping it into a clutch. No other makeup was necessary and she simply ran her fingers through her curls for a quick brush. Picks up her phone from the bed and texts Gabriel.

Text to Gabriel: I'm ready. Are you?

Duci made a surprisingly nonexistent entrance, lurking around the fringes of the event though she was sure to say hi to anyone she came across. Before she left, a surreptitious donation was made.

Duci loved themed outfits, and was always keen to partake in activity that allowed her to do so. It also so happened that she loved art and Lucy, so of course she would be there at the opening of Egypt in Exile to admire the works and congratulate Lucy and the artists while simultaneously eavesdropping on assorted gossip and exchanging hellos with other attendants.

While waiting for an opportune moment to speak with Lucy and Layla, she enjoyed several rose & saffron cream kunafa nests. "Mmm," she declared sensuously, surprised by how delectable she found them. After washing them down with another surprise, the delicious aseer asab drink, she cornered Lucy to offer a hug and congrats. "This is so amazing! I love all of the exhibitions you hold, they're always so grand!" Cheek kisses and another hug amid short pleasantries before she moved on to give Layla her congrats.

"I don't believe we've met, I'm Duci," she introduced herself with a broad smile. "Your artwork is truly magnificent, Layla. Thank you so much for sharing it with us all...It is an honest privilege to be able to lay my eyes on this." The blonde exchanges several other words with the artist, including her admiration on her plight and determination. The artist has made a lasting impression on Duci and she hopes to see her again in the future.

Before leaving, she writes a word for the gods (though hers may be different, gods were still gods) in Hungarian on a bright pink egg. Hugging the parting gift, a beautiful necklace, to her chest, she blew kisses to Lucy and any other familiar faces before heading out.

Duci arrived with Ashley at the 3rd Annual Seaside Spectacular and consumed several of each drink and at least one of every kind of food. She made a massive hot tub sandcastle for Ashley and partook in any and all beachside games before lounging out to enjoy the fireworks and present company.

The blonde was sure to blow kisses for everyone she knew, perhaps even stopping to chat and catch up, and didn't hesitate to wink lasciviously to any eye candy that crossed her path.

Ducii · Date: 2017-09-25 13:04 EST

Duci had become somewhat of a recluse in recent years, withdrawing more and more into work and outer space. What may have been stranger than seeing out and about was that everyone was seeing double; an exact replica with shorter hair had her arm coiled with hers.

Duci and Ducii made the usual rounds, ignoring any stares, and sharing cheek kisses and pleasantries with anyone they knew and even with newfound acquaintances. They paused to read a shared pamphlet offered by a girl in a red cloak, identical expressions crossing their features.

"Huh," remarked Ducii.

"Interesting," replied Duci.

Ducii was there for the food and company more than anything, and she paid very little attention to anyone aside from imbibing. Except maybe the delectable eye candy. She left shortly after, abandoning her twin to get fisty in the Annex.

Ducii rarely made it to the premieres, but she had to for a ballet about shoes. She was honestly unfamiliar with the story, but she had to attend. Since she had been home and had advance notice, she dragged her twin, Duci, and coerced her into joining. The two had become rather inseparable. While the latter watched with a bored expression, the former was in tears by the end, sobbing into Duci's shoulder.

"Ohmygods, that was so tragic, Deuce! My heart bleeds for poor Victoria! Ugh, ballets bring out all the ugly tears with their emotional music and dancing." Ducii attempts to wipe the tears away while the other blonde awkwardly pats her back.

"There, there," she tries to reassure her, "It's just a story. Come on, let's go give congratulations to the cast and maybe a drink..."

Drink? Oh, that's always sure to the bombshell up!

After being up for over 36 hours, the blonde arrived home for a quick shower and dinner for one, texting Ace intermittently. It was too late to take Ace up on his dinner reservations and she needed an outlet. Ducii considered going for a run to ease her unsettled nerves or heading to the fights, but she decided getting lost in a sea of bodies would be more fruitful. Her skin itched with anticipation, feeling warm despite how little the black dress covered.

She spilled from the cab gracefully, standing in front of a warehouse housing her early evening entertainment. The ground vibrated from the heady thump of bass, the music calling to her intimately. Already swaying to the music, she twirled her way inside. The bouncer just inside the door gave her an up and down look then waved her in. Red lips spread into a warm smile and she paused to stand on tip-toes and give him a kiss on the cheek.

"Evening, Jerome. Be nice!" Ducii teased, her chest puffing in pride at the crack of a grin on his marble face. He winked at her and she laughed, stepping into the crowd of writhing bodies.

We should take this back to my place That's what she said right to my face 'Cause I want you bad, yeah, I want you, baby I've been thinking 'bout it all day And I hope you feel the same way, yeah 'Cause I want you bad, yeah, I want you, baby

Slow, slow hands Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry No, no chance That I'm leaving here without you on me I, I know, yeah, I already know that there ain't no stopping Your plans and those slow hands Slow hands

The room spun as she maneuvered through the sea of people, taking her time so that she could bump and grind against anyone and everyone. Hands all over; hers, others....It was relaxing. Headed for the bar, she finally managed to break from the mob, stumbling into something tall, dark and solid. Muscular arms grabbed her around the middle to prevent her tipple to the floor.

"Excuse m—-" she started to apologize, eyes travelling up from the black dress shoes, along the perfectly fitted black dress slacks and red as blood button up, to his swarthy face and incredible smile. But it was those shockingly blue eyes that took her breath away and stopped her mid-sentence. "Oh, hell-oh!" Purring, she rested her hands on his forearms and gently squeezed. Oh yes, very muscular.

"Are you alright?" he asked genially. It wasn't often she found herself tongue-tied, so she nodded instead. "Let me get you a drink," the stranger offered, guiding her to the bar with a hand on her lower back. "What would you like?"

I just wanna take my time We could do this, baby, all night, yeah 'Cause I want you bad Yeah, I want you, baby

Slow, slow hands Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry No, no chance That I'm leaving here without you on me I, I know, yeah, I already know that there ain't no stopping Your plans and those slow hands

"Scotch, straight up," she wheezes, suddenly as parched someone stranded in the desert. Drinking him in, she bellied up to the bar upon landing, coiling around so that she could eat him up with her eyes again.

The cut of his maw was predatory when he gave her an up and down look, waving for the tender casually. He ordered two scotch, handing hers over while lifting his own to his lips. "Would you like to dance with me?" A soft caress of words while they circled one another. She nodded, downing the drink like a champ. Holding his hand out, he looked nearly wolfish, and he dragged her out into the thumping mass.

She quickly lost herself to the music, devoting her attention to grinding into his body. It was an intricate dance of limbs coiling, breaths teasing, and inhibitions lost in the night.

Fingertips putting on a show Got me now and I can't say "No" Wanna be with you all alone Take me home, take me home Fingertips putting on a show Can't you tell that I want you, baby, yeah

Slow hands Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry No, no chance That I'm leaving here without you on me I, I know, yeah, I already know that there ain't no stopping

She tugged on his tie, curling it around her hand as it squeezed into a fist, and brought his lips to hers. They stood still as the umpteenth song ended, lost in a moment of physical attraction. "Mmm," the blonde purred, slowly opening her eyes to look up into this. Wetting her lips, she watched him follow the pink muscle as if mesmerized.

"Thank you," Ducii murmured, breaking the silence. Still swaying to the beat from the last song and against his trailing fingers, enjoying the sensation they gave. "Maybe I'll see you again.? It had been a whisper full of promise, and she released his tie before backing up to get lost in the crowd.

She glanced back at him and saw him touch his lips with his fingertips. Smiling, she disappeared into the night.

Slow hands Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry No, no chance That I'm leaving here without you on me I, I know, yeah, I already know that there ain't no stopping Your plans and those slow hands

Ace told her to dress in a manner that portrayed who she was. Who was she" She was sweet and demure, fun and flirty, she was cute and sexy, she was silly and bubbly, she was deep and lonely, she was bold and daring, she was sinful and gluttonous.

But tonight'

She wanted to enjoy herself, be doted on, be bold and sexy, and appreciated for her curves and company.

And to get a foodgasm. Most important part, right"

Ace put his silver-tongue to good use by convincing her to accompany him to the ball, so of course she dressed accordingly.

Ducii was always looking for an excuse to leave her inhibitions at the door, and clubbing was one of the best ways to do it. As the sun set, she R-Ubered to the old ironworks warehouses. When it pulled up to where others were already beginning to filter in through, she shot the driver a dazzling smile and handed over a small pouch jingling with coins. "Thank you," the blonde bombshell purred, gracefully exiting the carriage.

She grinned, looking down to the glamoured flier then back up to the warehouse. The music already to called to her and she hadn't even entered yet, coursing through her veins extinguishing every trace of the unwanted blood that contaminated her insides. Shutting off the thinking side of her brain, she follows a crowd up to the door, her arms lifting her body as the music grows louder. Chocolate eyes are heated, drunk on fire and her lips kiss the threshold of liberty as she abandons her inhibitions and dances her way in.

Her elbows gracefully tear through the air, in perfect rhyme with her stiletto clad feet. Setting a curve that no menace can surpass; for she is here for herself tonight. Her feet hit the floor in a boisterous cry for all that was denied. One arm stretches out, her waist jerking outward vivaciously. It seems to reject all the silent judgement that the world offered to her...The other arm follows suit with yet another jerk of her slim waist. There is nothing that can calm her tempestuous gale as she slides through the crowd, brushing bodies in her exploration of the scene.

She bursts into flames with every bob of her head, every jiggle of her shoulders, with every gyration of her hips. Not seeking a partner in her debauchery, she kindly declines any forward advances. Not one for drugs, she expertly sashays around the peddlers and finds herself advancing on the booze. However, if she was roofied, she'd never know. The blonde could be pliable, even when drugged, but she was firm in her demands to be left alone. No one would be taking her tonight; she owned the night.

Gyrating and spinning around in fanatic circles, every jerk of her waist, every flick of her hair, every beat of her feet, every shrug of her shoulder beckons to the world and says, see me, watch me, want me....but I'm not yours.

Ducii arrived with two casserole dishes of tomato zucchini strata, a champagne gift set for Lucy, and two ornaments to hang in her tree (so that Lucy will always think of her when she sees the chocolate dipped strawberry ornament, of course). Using her arrival as an excuse to exchange kisses and pleasantries with Luce, she expertly handed over the gift and ornaments before asking for direction on where to set the sides and if she could help with anything.

After that, she helps herself to a constant stream of alcohol, smiling brightly and giggling most of the evening while she exchanges banter and hugs and just mingles most of the night. At some point she finds herself standing quietly beside Kitty, staring at the crowd of people and stroking Kitty between the ears.

When Benjamin retreats to the kitchen and declares it's time to bake, she grins and joins him. "I love to bake," she confesses, offering to be his assist. If Lucy didn't kick her out first, she might just be one of the last ones lingering.

Duci approached the inn with a wrapped gift in the crook of her arm. Inside was an assortment of gag gifts. If her managed to peruse through them all, he'd find two tickets for Rhy'din most exclusive New Year's celebration at EgoTrip (her fave!).
