Thread: St. Marriott's (ClearSight & SomethingEsoteric)

Playing with a new toy was always the most fun, the lack of familiarity made every little experience so much more enjoyable and just thinking about what would come next or other ways to play with that toy would fill up spare segments of the day. That was how Sera felt about Tamera, like she was a new toy that was going to be more fun than anything else. A toy she was going to have to do her best to figure out and completely dominate, though she already had a decent idea and was already preparing for act two of her little plan. She was unusually happy however, on the elevator ride up she was grinning widely as thoughts of that tough face filled her head, how Tamera had somehow kept her calm and even thrown a little strength back at Sera despite knowing what could happen to her. That was what really made it all fun, the fact that it wasnt going to be easy, that she had some fight in her beautiful body. Yes, it would be so much fun to see just how much fight she had in her and what it would take to get her to shed that pride, to make her throw away some of what she was fighting to keep. It almost made Sera purr in delight when she thought about it. In fact the more she thought about it the more she wanted to devour Tamera, her mind leaning towards so many avenues she hadnt considered initially, her rage clearing up and allowing more entertaining thoughts to appear. She had time to think on what exactly to do, she had a good bit of groundwork laid, she had already received a confirmation that Tamera was going to come see her, that was good. In fact that was the most appealing option, Tamera was going to be in her room, alone, nobody else to say or do anything that could interfere in the time they would be spending together. That alone made her shiver in anticipation, her mind rushing to lay out a plan she could prepare rather quickly. One of Seras strongest points, one of the things that made her both attractive and dangerous, was her intelligence. She had been born at levels considered genius and while she had always been modest before, never even mentioning it anyone but Heidi the one time she asked straight out, it was not such a secret now. She no longer minded other people realizing what lay behind that gorgeous face, how much trouble would befall them if the full force of her now morally unsound mind focused in on them. Tamera may have not completely understood yet but she was now in that crosshair, a dangerous place to be whether you were friend or a foe, as those were both hazy lines for the current Sera, only a few people getting special treatment that wasnt god awful. The thoughts in her head were scary, how easily she could put things together, how fast she could make her ideas reality, and with magic things only became easier for the woman. It led to some very interesting plans being available. In fact she had planned something intriguing, she had managed to convince, through unnatural means, a store owner from the city to drive a handful of remarkably extravagant dresses and accessories to St. Marriotts immediately, dresses that cost more money than even some of the wealthy people at St. Marriotts would feel comfortable spending. For Sera they were free of course, and while she could have paid for them, having used her powers to amass funds for future use, she wouldnt. Instead she took them and sent the owner back. That was step one in her plan, she had purchased three sets of dresses, two of each, one for herself and one that was the perfect size for the tantalizing treat coming to visit her. She took a deep breath as she eyed the luxurious clothing set out before her, tapping her chin before picking up the black dress and eying it a bit more closely. It really was an amazing piece of clothing and while she didnt generally wear such things she was going to ensure she looked breath taking for Tameras arrival, as such she had little time to waste. To prepare for Tameras appearance she had some work to get done, she put away the other dresses in her closet and then moved to shower. She loved the feeling of hot water, most people did, but what she really enjoyed was what she got to do after the shower and how much easier that now was. Her magic allowed certain shortcuts, things that she had never learned to become skilled at no longer mattering. For instance using makeup, she didnt need much, her natural skin tone and beauty allowing her to get by with no or minimal makeup most of the time, but just being able to apply it instantly with a small chant made it so much easier. It still used the contents of the numerous items but it allowed her to have the perfect application in nearly no time and with that done her eyes and lips popped, those features being dangerous and now nearly impossible not to stare at. So the makeup part was easy, her short hair was quickly made to look incredibly sexy, and then the dress was tossed on. The design was rather simple but incredibly fitting for Sera, and she believed it would be for Tamera as well. It was a rather long black dress with a slit down the right side that revealed that perfect smooth leg of Seras. There were no sleeves nor was there a back, the dress being held on by minimal fabric around her neck. It was one hell of a look, it made Sera appear like a princess, or more precisely an evil queen. It was completed with a thin and elegant diamond bracelet and her usually necklace that was being worn over the dress. The necklace was particularly special, and while it was a fraction of the cost of any other piece of her current wardrobe it was the only piece she gave a damn about. In fact as she settled down, having dressed herself up as nice as she planned to, and plenty to invoke Tameras jealously or desire, she sat down and began to fidget with it. The necklace had been something Heidi had thought up, it had been the ultimate symbol of their love, a promise to each other and a way to remember that their love was eternal Was supposed to be It had been not only a literal representation of their feelings but a figurative one as well, it allowed them to connect when they both wore it, to use it to page one another, and there was even a message stored, a message that Sera played for herself constantly and one she couldnt resist playing as she looked down upon it. Her hand moved to it, a small application of magic and then it played, inside her head Heidis voice could be heard, three simple words, I love you . The words echoing inside of her head sent a look of anguish across Seras face, it had been so long since she had heard those words aloud, spoken by Heidi herself. She began to think about the past, her thoughts conflicting with one another as she began to wonder if everything she had done and had planned was worth how things turned out between herself and Heidi. As fast as that thought penetrated the walls of darkness it was shut down anger replacing her worry and the part of her that wanted to keep the feeling for the other witch buried quickly reminded herself what the situation was, using her magic to view Heidi walking with Kat, betraying her. It was only after she had been watching for some time that the sound of her visitor finally arrive brought her attention back to reality. She still had a few touchups however and she shot up from her seated position and ran over to the heels, slipping the black heels that came with the dress on and running into the bathroom to spray on a flowery concoction she had cooked up for previous use but had great use in her current situation as well, a perfume that ensured the people who smelt it would have a hard time thinking of anything but its wearer. It had uses when she wanted something, to have people pay attention, and now it would help Tamera lose a bit of that control she kept over herself. Oh it was going to be fun. Yet for it all to start she would have to let her prey in and with that she moved to the door, opening it with a grin on her face, standing in the doorway looking more dangerous and sexy than ever. Ah Tamera Come on in. She turned around and walked into her room, which was quite large and open, having everything one might need and more like a real apartment than a dorm. Come and have a seat, we have much to discuss. Sera licked her glossed lips as she moved over to a snug black couch in a living room type area, sitting on the right side and getting comfortable, her legs crossed and arms on the back of the couch. She peered over her shoulder, her sharp almost playful eyes beckoning just as much as her words and hand gesture were. Sera was so very excited waiting for Tamera to make her move, it was all up to her how the night continued. She could try to run, which would only serve to force Seras hand, especially after she had taken time to get herself looking so damn good. That wouldnt be the best choice. The best choice would be to come in and see what waited for her, see what Sera had planned, because there was more to it than making herself irresistible to the feisty Tamera, much more. In fact as Sera sat there, looking at Tamera and inviting her to take the spot next to her on the small sofa, she couldnt help but have a few thoughts she hadnt intended herself to have, a few glances she didnt exactly mind but hadnt expected. Those realizations only made it more fun however, Sera was going to have herself so much fun with this new toy, it had been a long time since she was allowed to play. ----- Kat had been sought after for many reasons, her being beautiful was one of them, though usually beautiful or pretty didnt fall into the mix of adjectives. It was usually hot or sexy, her looks attracting the kind of people more interested in sex than anything else. She had figured out that Heidi wasnt that type of woman immediately, she had a more innocent feel to her, like a person who didnt make decisions lightly and while that was very sweet and rather flattering it also made Kat nervous. It wasnt that she didnt like what she had seen of Heidi so far but she really wasnt wanting to get involved in something serious, not when she already had so much piled on her plate, not when getting a good start at St. Marriotts meant so much. So when Heidi, who seemed so different than those she had been with before, expressed her reasons it got Kat a bit worried, not because she hated the idea completely but because she could afford such appealing complications at the time. However she had always been the type to go with the flow and do her best not to ruin something over possible outcomes, to enjoy what was right in front of her and do her best to avoid complications along the way. With Heidi that meant enjoying the date and not backing out because there was a chance she would have a tough situation down the road. Besides, she didnt have the ability to break the heart of the woman who was walking next to her, she was too cute and if nothing else they could become friends from the whole ordeal, now a friend Kat could use, it would be nice to have someone to talk to for once, though she would have to touch up on her social skills a bit before acting like she knew what was entailed with being a friend. Of course that would be part of the fun, learning how to be a friend and what it meant to have one, something she knew very little about with her rather lonely life up until that point. There was one thing Heidi said that Kat had to speak up about though and it had nothing to do with the reasons she asked her out, it was something that had been misconstrued and Kat refused to leave things that way to fester and become awkward. So with a small smile on her face she began speaking a bit louder, almost playfully, Yes, I guess girls like me do want to be asked out by cute and honest girls every now and then, date up as they say. You know, beautiful, older, obviously has a good personality. Yep, I mean that makes sense. She wasnt the type to give out compliments but she figured that was the best way to solve the situation, make Heidi realize that what she had meant was that she felt like someone better than her had asked her out and not the other way around. It was important for that to be clear from the start, that Kat thought she was lucky for someone like Heidi to come talk to her, that she didnt give a damn what other people thought, and that even if they didnt become lovers or even have any intimate relationship with one another that she wanted to be friends. It seemed a bit sudden, a bit out of character for Kat to say such things or even think about something like friendship and long-term anything but St. Marriotts was a new start to her life, a new chance, and she was going to take full advantage of it. Now, since you are not only my date but also my guide for our date I will be expecting greatness. She said with a playful tone, she didnt expect anything but Heidis best and that was clear with how she said it, Kat was simply trying to bolster the mood after the rather interesting turn it took with Heidis seeming lack of self-confidence, something that someone as adorable as herself shouldnt have had to deal with. For some time Kat walked without saying much, giving room for Heidi to speak and embracing her introverted self, heading towards the doors and eventually making their way there. When they arrived she turned with a smile towards Heidi. How about this, we can go on the date tomorrow, its a bit short notice but Im excited and that will give me tonight to get a few things done so we dont have any time constraint for our date. All you have to do is pick a time and let me know. She pointed down the hall on the first level, Im down here, floor one and if Im not in my room Ill be at the pool. With that she took a moment, looked Heidi up and down with a satisfied edge to her smile, and then looked back into her beautiful eyes. Feel free to let me know about our date tonight as well. With one last smile Kat turned and began walking towards her dorm room. She wasnt sure about Heidis status but she had a feeling it was not on the first floor and that they would have been parting there. Of course she did glance back and give one last wave to Heidi before continuing all the way to her room, wanting to make sure the girl knew she wasnt simply walking away to get away from her. In fact Kat hadnt really wanted to hold the date off, it would have been nice to go immediately and satisfy her desire to have fun immediately. She really did need to wait though, to make sure she finished everything she needed to before they went off to walk together the next day. That didnt stop her from thinking about it however, even as she entered her room and began doing homework immediately, while it was still fresh in her head, she pondered on the next day, on Saturday. She began wondering if she should bring up the idea of a picnic when she finally talked to Heidi, something a bit mood setting above the walk itself. She probably wouldnt, it was far too romantic even if it sounded lovely. Besides, nothing was ever that easy, she may have been looking forward to it but somewhere in the back of her mind she knew she would ruin it somehow, even if it was at the end when Heidi asked her a question similar to, So when do you want to do this again? And where Kat would have to make things clear, as much as she was going to hate to have to do that.
