Silverglen Retreat
Thanks to one blacksworn's shenanigans, this certain blacksworn is finding that she has a little more room to get up to shenanigans of her own. She hadn't really been here that long before getting kidnapped and shoved in a cage with six other people for a week or... however fucking long it was (it's hard to keep track of the days alright), but she did at least realize that the natives here weren't too keen on the dragonsworn.

Until now, anyway. Upon recognizing her as a blacksworn, the locals here seemed suddenly... well, nicer. For one, no one was trying to steal her or her dog, and for two, shit, they actually seemed to want her there. Something about the other flights being assholes?

Whatever, their suspiciously rude behaviour to the elves meant one thing: booze and whores may or may not have better chances of being found now. She hasn't the faintest idea whether or not this little place even has any brothels or bars but if it does, then shit, she's gonna find it. As such, Apollo continues to wander around with her dog, until finally she asks out loud (to the dog, to herself, or to whoever may be close to her at the moment), "Fuckin' come on, do elves not have whores? Doesn't even have to be an elf whore, any kinda whore'll do, and booze, I ain't in that backwards of a world where that shit ain't a thing, am I?"

A FOREST SOMEWHERE
Should one venture out into the forest, it is very possible to find Apollo out there as well. This afternoon, in particular, the woman has found a river, and she seems to be... fishing. But she doesn't have a fishing rod - no, her chosen method of fishing is to use her bare hands. Which she actually is somewhat proficient at, if the growing pile of fish laying next to Metalhead on the shore is any indication.

She isn't totally naked, but the majority of her clothes have also been left in a pile nearby her dog so that they might stay dry. So what's left is a woman covered in tattoos, just barely left decent by black undergarments, standing knee deep in the river and looking very much on the prowl.

"C'mon, you tasty little fucks." She murmurs to herself, eying the water and waiting for her prey to come closer. "Gonna need a few more of you for a good fuckin' fry up."

Comments

[theshadowkissed]

"Most of those are humans that don't know better, not being part of our society. Some just don't care and think the risk is worth the reward. After all, who wouldn't want ungodly strength, clarity of mind and immortality?"

Rose naively hadn't believed humans would willingly work with Strigoi, be their servants in hopes of being turned, until she'd seen it with her own eyes. That was back when Dimitri had captured her and she grew up real fast.

"Pity it comes at the price of their soul."

[irritating]

"Sounds rough." It sounds a bit like an idle comment, but she really does mean it.

"So what're you, then? You kill 'em, I assume 'cause you think of 'em as scumbags, but is that somethin' you took upon yourself to do or did someone get you to do it?" This whole thing sounds just like the kind of bullshit Apollo doesn't personally want to get herself involved in, but hey, a few curious questions never hurt anybody, right?

[theshadowkissed]

"I kill them because it's the main part of my duty as a Guardian." Rose crossed her arms, leaning more against the wall. "Guardians are elite bodyguards trained and certified to protect Moroi royalty."

Rose snorted a bit then. "I also think they're unholy scumbags that need to fucking die. Killing them also frees their souls. I know I want someone to kill me if I ever turned."

[irritating]

"A Guardian?" Well, that sounds pretty fitting. Apollo smiles and makes a short, amused noise. "That why you came to rescue me an' my new friends? 'cause you protect royalty? An' the common people too, I guess."

As for Rose's hatred of the Strigoi, Apollo just shrugs at that. She isn't in much of a position to say a whole lot about it, especially since to her, right here in this world filled with dragons and demons and bullshit, they don't seem all too relevant. "Well, guess you gotta find somethin' else to do, seein' how those fucks ain't around to get stabbed in the face by you, huh?"

[theshadowkissed]

"Yeah. Cause I'm nice like that." Rose was more than willing to let the other woman keep thinking it was because she was pirate royalty.

"There are undead here to be dealt with, but there are more important things to deal with. Like the demons. I may not be home and I might not have my Royal to protect, but I'm still a Guardian."

She then sighed. "And I have a flight to lead. Rose Hathaway."

[irritating]

"I can tell!" Apollo doesn't really think Rose did her whole rescuing thing because she happens to be pirate royalty, primarily because she didn't even know about Apollo's title until now. But still. It's nice to think she's the most important thing ever.

"Aw, real sense of duty on you, huh? Guess I can't complain too much, if that helped get me an' my dog's asses outta those fuckin' cages." It's... well, it's almost a thank you. "Yeah, an' what flight is that, Rose Hathaway?"

[theshadowkissed]

"Don't go counting too much on my sense of duty. I have real issues with authority. It's better to be in charge, don't you think?"

Except Rose knew her impulsiveness and temper weren't exactly pros for a leader to have. She wished there was someone more suited to it in her flight, but really... look at the options?

"I'll give you my flight when you introduce yourself back, Your Majesty."

[irritating]

"Much better." Being the Pirate King has spoiled her.

But her enjoyment of having the power hasn't extended to her putting herself in charge of the Blacksworn. Yet. Honestly, she doesn't even know them all that well, so she doesn't even know who does and doesn't want that title. Technically Deathwing should be their leader, but as far as he can tell, he doesn't exactly have a lot of fans.

"Apollo." She offers without much deliberation. "King of the Sea, Lord of the Espalion Isles, Captain of The Sea Strumpet, wife of Lord Malakai of Trivigno, and, apparently, Blacksworn. Y'know, if you wanted all my titles." Which she probably didn't. "That good enough forya?"

[theshadowkissed]

"Not really, but I suppose I could add a little to my own name if you're all hung up on titles and shit. Personal Guardian to Princess Vasilisa Dragomir, Bearer of the Zvezda, Daughter of Zmey, and Perpetual Pain in the Court's Ass. Also, leader of the Green Dragonsworn."

Yes, Rose added a few of those on herself. She decided to leave off that she was also Public Enemy #1 in Moroi Society right then, but that's what tends to happen when people think you killed the queen.

[irritating]

"I like Perpetual Pain, that one's a fancy title." Also probably one that's been applied to her at various (all) points of her life. But maybe that's why she likes it.

"Green. That's uh, that's the flight that likes naptime, yeah? Not that naps are bad, I fuckin' love naps myself. What's your Sanctum like? Lotsa feathery beds with spots of sun to snooze in or what?

[theshadowkissed]

Rose rolled her eyes. "Don't get me started on the sleeping thing. It irritates the crap out of me. I get that my flight has the Emerald Dream to protect and all, but being awake is so much cooler."

She shook her head. "No beds. It's like a jungle. What's yours like?"

[irritating]

"The fuck is the Emerald Dream?"

She makes a brief face at hearing her Sanctum looks like a jungle, but then shrugs soon after, seeming to change her mind and decide that maybe it's alright. "I'm from the tropics, jungle's a scenery that makes more sense to me. But uh, Obsidian Sanctum is bullshit. Volcanoes an' lava an' doom an' gloom, it's fuckin' stupid. Warm, though. An' we got candy, so I 'spose that's a plus too."

[theshadowkissed]

"I'm not entirely sure. It's like some special plane of existence here that supports the fabric of reality or something." Rose didn't think she'd ever understand what the Emerald Dream was nor was she going to bother trying to get more information about it. Ysera didn't like to be bothered from her eternal asleep/not-asleep thing.

"You have candy?"

[irritating]

"Fuck that, sounds stupid." Mostly it sounds really complicated and boring, but calling it stupid works just as well for her too. She wants nothing to do with the 'fabric of reality' or special planes of existence or anything of the sort, nope, she likes life plain and simple.

"Yup! Looks like uh, well it looks like crystals, but they're sweet when you lick 'em. Definitely sugar. We got a cave full of it, it's pretty nice."

[theshadowkissed]

"..." Rocks that taste like sugar.

"Did you seriously just decide one day to go lick a rock?"

[irritating]

Yes, rocks that taste like sugar.

"I dunno, they said it was candy! An' my dog seemed to like lickin' it, so I licked it too, an' sure enough it was fuckin' sugar rocks!"

[theshadowkissed]

Rose couldn't decide if Apollo was an idiot or just... really weird.

"Do you lick everything your dog likes to lick?"

[irritating]

Honestly, she can switch between the two. Or maybe she's just a mixture.

"No 'cause then I'd be lickin' his balls an' that ain't a place I'm willin' to go."

[theshadowkissed]

Rose laughed at that response, glad Apollo had caught where the dhampir had been going with that question. It also tilted the other woman more toward the weird side and less toward the idiot. Not saying that the stupids didn't strike them all from time to time.

"Good to hear."
