Seaport

@♦ Christopher Bang Seonghwa had been wandering the streets of Central Post and had ended up by the Seaport. These days being by the water was the closest thing to his home that he could get. He tugged on the hood of his cloak a bit more, securing it over his head some more so that it wouldn't fly off in the seabreeze. He stopped standing around like a shadow by one of the beams and began walking around again.

He paused when he heard a clatter behind him and saw an older woman bending down to grab her fallen belongings. He stepped over and began helping her. "Oh you don't have to, dear," she said.

"It's alright, I insist," he said as he reached out for more things with his gloved hands. He began stacking them into the woman's trolley and helped her move everything back into the trolley, securing it all in place. "Where were you headed, ma'am?" he asked, bending down a bit to match her height.

"To the other side of the port, where that one fish shop is," she said. "You don't need to take me over there, dear."

Seonghwa took the handle of the trolley and gestured for the lady to lead the way, "After you, ma'am." The old lady eventually gave in and began walking more comfortably, and Seonghwa followed along beside her, making small talk along the way as they walked at a lerisurely pace.

@☠ Christian Yu ¥✔ A grin swiped along her lips as she saw the other followed her instructions and approached her. To be quite honest, she didn't think that he would walk over, especially if it's a stranger like her who she's pretty sure doesn't think that he remembers her from a previous timeline. Nonetheless, Emily kept her eyes locked on him and his interaction between his work crew. Oh what his fans would kill to see this view if they knew. Her eyes moved over him once more as if to verify that it's indeed the same person.....same in some sort of way. His appearance was altered by this new species. Her inner witch easily glanced over the shadow casting that displayed who Christian had become. The death scent didn't deter her from her original goal nor made her feel Bayless different toward the vessel in front of her.

Shaking her head at his question, Emily gave a friendly greeting. "No need to refer. It's actually you I'm looking for." Clearing , she walked closer to him. Her black orbs now circling around them as they take in his wendigo shadow. "I don't think you will remember me since I wasn't a big deal but I knew a few of your friends and met you a handful of times." Her eyes moved to her orbs as they hovered right above his shadow outline. "Leave the wendigo shadow alone." She swatted her hand over his head forcing them to retreat back to her side. "Does the names Rome and Ian ring a bell for you?" She didn't want to scare him since she wasn't sure if he retained any memories therefore she settled on that question first. Emily already has to be cautious of how much she can reveal to others. Already accidentally traveling between realms, she didn't need people hunting her down questioning what she knows from those timeline.

@⥈ Ahn Hee-yeon ¥✔ @☠ Christian Yu ¥✔ <you have been paid for the month of Jan. Sorry that it took so long. Thank you for being active in your job and paying citizen tax. ~love, Emily>

@⚜ ♕ Emily Mei  Christian was busy at work, loading things up onto the next docked ship. It was incredibly physical, a job that certainly wasn't for everyone. And, while he wasn't completely away from people, fellow coworkers seemed to be a rough and tumble bunch of lewd men. Something strangely familiar, and seeing how he wasn't ual by nature, most inappropriate, ist conversation went in one ear and out the other. Still, they worked hard, and as long as he did too, they left him alone. Naturally being a pretty boy, Christian got a lot of about it, but knew it wasn't more than sailors jokes. Learning to keep to himself, he doesn't partake in too much off work conversations as he continued to struggle with his identity, as well as being able to just.. be among people like he's normal. A weird contrast to just weeks ago of being restrained like the rabid animal he was and beat to near death. He's kept busy, and he liked being busy. Continuing to pick up cargo to lug it on board, snide chuckles of fellow seamen drew his attention out and away from the dock to see a pretty woman with unusual iris' looking at him. They meet glances, but doesn't automatically think anything of it. It wouldn't be the first time he's drawn eyes from interested women, and certainly wouldn't be the last. Prepared to offer a polite smile and turn his back, a single digit extends out for him to come.

Typically, being cat-called or eyed by women was promptly ignored, but this time his coworkers egged him on to go see what the pretty woman wanted. After just a few moments of obvious hooting and hollaring about the estranged woman's presence by his peers, he sets down the load onto the ship deck where it belonged and trotted over with a feigned polite smile on his face, though one corner is upturned into a partial smug with amusement, but toward whom was anyone's guess. "Can I help you? I uhm-" An overhead crane device removes netting from a previous shipment, temporarily looking up before returning his gaze back to the woman;"I need to get back to work, if you have questions i can refer you someone else." As he stood there, while familiarity might have been present for her, it was not, for him. Not only was he lacking vision in his left eye, but being in close proximity gave an uncomfortable feeling, like standing next too or on top of roadkill. Not only that, her witch capabilities saw from the beyond, saw his disease. A shadow spirit seen by none but her, barely visible reflected across his face like shadow, showing an outline of the monster than lay temporarily dormant underneath his humanoid appearance. It screeched in the back of her mind and faded from view as quick as a blink. Meanwhile, Christian stood there, crossing tattooed arms over a sweaty chest as she ate up his time.

Watching the docks a smile played at her face, the sun was still blocked by the clouds but it was warm enough with the salty sea breeze tousling her hair. It felt good, if she closed her eyes she could almost pretend she was back home. Not that she cared for the Forgotten Islands, she hardly missed them, but moments like this when she was alone and working so close to the docks, it felt like nostalgia.

Whistling a song to herself she begins to set up the stall for the day, the sky is overcast and with any luck it will stay that way. Though maybe she will help the weather out a little bit, and perhaps the fishermen too. Adjusting the little sign at the front of her stall she flips it from 'closed' to 'open'.

@☠ Christian Yu ¥✔ Emily paces back and forth a block away from the loading dock. This was not her best work but ever since she saw the ghoul back at the tavern, something about him was too familiar. She had traveled between realms and she is pretty sure that he was someone she knew in one of them. She did not mean to follow him and somehow, Emily ended up at the Seaport where Christian works. 'You're here already, it won't kill you to ask.' Her inner voice wasn't wrong. Once she confronts him, she'll be more at ease once she knew if it was an old human friend from Earth's in the 20th Century. She walked fiercely towards the shipyard scanning from the dock as her red orbs bounced off towards his direction. "That's definitely Rome." A grin spread wide against her face when her eyes scanned up and down the shirtless Christian recognizing his tattoos. He was still the eye-candy that he was when he was in the other realm. Lost in thought she wasn't sure how long she stood there watching him unload working those muscles of his. One thought did pull her out of her stare. How did Rome end up here in Heleo and why is he no longer the human Rome that she met before? When she looked back at the working man, she was shock to see that she's been caught red handed as their eyes locked. Smiling from where she was, she gave him a small formal nod of the head, greeting him in a way. Curling her finger at him to come to her, Emily knew what she needed to say to Christian.

@[H] ༄ Lily Macapinlac ¥ She shook her head, of all the times she ran away, no regrets at all. Each time only made her stronger. "No. It taught me everything is temporary. Of the last 300 years plus, it taught me to be stronger for me. Scars and all." She leans back into the water looking up. "I dont wish for anyones to be stuck a slave of any sort. Wish you guys can have the freedom to do as you please." Nicole turn her head to look at Lily from what she said, making her laugh softly seeing her embrassed. "Ah....to be quite honest, i forgot what flirting was like." She smile waving a hand. "Its okay. Dont be sorry. It at least mean you dont mind my presence. So I'll take it as a good thing."

@[H] ༄ Lily Macapinlac ¥ Nicole let her hold her wrapping her flippers around the mermaid securely. Something tells her that Lily needed this hug and as much as she try not to retort to her old self, these nice supernaturals was making it hard for her to stay closed off. She pulled away to shift back so that she'll be able you to talk to Lily better this time turning her hair a pastel pink with a pastel purple pink color for the tail. "Life made me run. When i turned into a shifter, i watched my family died off naturally." She tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. "I ran away from the human life so I dont have to experience losing a family again. Then...i found the shifter that turned me and they adopted me into their life. All was good for a bit.....but i didnt wanna be a prized to be won....didnt wanna be breeding machine. So i fought....and fought til i found a stormy night and ran away." A smile formed on her lip recalling her fist fight against mother nature. "Call me crazy but i went into the storm hoping to just perish. But turns out....it was worth a fight." Nicole move her hair to one side showing a few scars and injuries. "A beautiful witch found me. She healed me." She was very fond of the witch and one may even said they hadd a relationship for a while before things turned bad. "I left her after some times, fought in another storm before being founded and taken to a safe home for supernaturals. I thought that was my forever home. Even manage to fall in love with a human. But...." she turn to smile at lily. "Dont give all your heart away, you'll only be hurt in the end." She winced feeling the ghost pain of that part of her life. The fact that she would had given her life for him only to be returned with lesser of what she offer. "So....i packed up. Grabbed as little as i can and enough to survive." She clear . "Saw a storm....and went towards it. I didnt care rather i survive or not. I just wanted the pain gone and then ot showed me the path here instead. So....here i am many many years later. A wondering body without a home." Nicole mimicked what Lily did with her tail early, twiddling it gently. Her eyes travel to the slave mark. "How....how do one not be a slave no more?" She was curious. A part of her wants to know what to do to free others.

@[H] ༄ Lily Macapinlac ¥ Nicole smile. "I dont mind. It just been a while since i wanted to shift into a mermaid." She moves towards the deck as she look up to the top of the water. "I ran away from....the life that i had.: she calmly told her since it was a normal thing for Nicole to run away at this point. "I got lost before finding my way here, so now....i guess this is home for now." Shrugging her shoulder, she turn to look at Lily. "Sea creatures...." she smile diving down as she shift into a walrus, her body morphing and changing to the flubber animal coming back up to Lily tilting her head to the side looking at her.

@[H] ༄ Lily Macapinlac ¥ The voice startle Nicole making her turn around to face an actual mermaid. She shook her head but bow a bit to greet the other. "Im...just a shifter." She smile softly, embarrassed a bit by being a fraud like this. "Im...Nicole. Its a pleasure to meet an actual mermaid here." She moved closure enough to examine the pretty delicate tail of Lily's watching the way she move it around before mimicking it smiling happily. "I dont mind accompanying you if you dont mind me shifting." She eye smile at her pout.

@[H] ༄ Lily Macapinlac ¥ Nicole sighs softly befofe deciding to stand up, setting her bag down against one of the dock post. "Once more." She grins remembering what its like to shift herself into a mernaid. She remembered how free it felt for her in general, to be so small in such a big water front. The idea that mermaid lore used to fascinate her before she turned many centuries ago. And with that, she backed up on the dock, smile plastered to her face as she ran fast feeling the breeze against her face before diving effortlessly into the water, her legs shifting and morphing into a similar tail of a mermaid that she studied before as her body shift for her to be ablen to breathe underwater. "Still got it in you."

@[H] ༄ Lily Macapinlac ¥ Nicole sat at the least trafficked port watching the busy life of everyone moving around and working hard. She didn't expect to end up walking here, but her foot took followed the seas scent and here she was. She took a glance at the water, smiling fondly from the memories shes been suppressing for so long. The memories of a previous loved one when she showed him how she can shift into a mermaid. A soft chuckle escaped her lips. That's was decades ago. "Breathe." She reminds herself closing her eyes as the sea breeze pushed her long hair away from her face not noticing or realizing that someone else was there now.

@☾ Kwon Jiyong She smiled at him just nodding as she followed him out of the room as her tails gently swayed behind her, happily. She was glad that she had come on this trip with him as it would just be the two of them, of course, with the other passengers but still it was their first trip together that would hopefully go smoothly. Irene hummed softly as she thought about what she wanted to eat. "I am in teh mood for anything really. I am not really that picky when it comes to food. Gotta eat what you have or what you can get yourself has always been the way I've had to live," Irene nodded as she looked at him. "I like about everything though vegetables, meat, fish, sweets, fruits, you name it, and I'll probably eat it. Oh expect snails or bugs - that's gross," Irene nodded with a chuckle.

@❦ Irene I nodded my head in a show of appreciation before offering you my arm. "That sounds like a plan." I took a moment to look back at you and admire your beauty then reached for the door ushering you through it. "Hmm what are you in the mood to eat tonight love?" I asked as I wasn't entirely formal with he Kitsune diet, appetite nor personal taste or preferences. Swaying my heading your direction as we walked through the long halls of the ship before opening the main door to the buffet.

@☾ Kwon Jiyong Irene giggled as he reached for her just kissing back with a smile playing on her lips. Her lips stay curled into a happy smile as she heard him speak. "I am the luckiest woman on the plant to have found you, my space cowboy," She whispered back, placing a soft kiss on his lips as she then gently nuzzled her nose against his for a moment. "Take your time, baby," She responded just glancing out teh window in their room just beaming out at the sky happy to be here with him. Irene turned back her gaze at him as she stood up just taking in his visage. Her face lit up like most times she was around Jiyong as she stepped in front of him, smiling. "You look amazing like always. I love it, blue really suits you," Irene held his cheeks in her hands, placing another soft kiss on his lips. She pulled back just lowering her hands to link their fingers together, giving him a cute smile. "Hm, should we go get something to eat now and have an amazing night together?" She asked, gently swaying their hands back and forth a bit.

@❦ Irene A smile danced across my lips as I turned and reached for you. My lips crashed upon your softened pillow like lips. "Yes, I am the luckiest man on the planet," I whispered against your tiers, lightly touching your forehead with my own. "I'll be ready in a second." It wasn't too long until I got dressed in my best clothes switch I didn't have many of. I fitted in my attire to perfection as I sported my Bondi blue suit, black underdress shirt, and a red handkerchief placed in my chest pocket. My fleshly polished ebony black shoes gleamed in the dull lighting of the gas lamps. For once, I groomed my shaggy hair back into elegant silk quaffed, adding the last final touches before turning to you. "S-So, what do you think?" I asked with grave apprehension. This formal wear wasn't really my style, but I was willing to step out of my comfort zone to prove that I was worth being by your side in any attire I wear.

@☾ Kwon Jiyong Irene smiled as she leaned against the bed frame of the bunk bed mostly to ground herself as she was still getting used to the motions of being onboard a moving ship. "Sounds like an amazing time to me, aren't you a lucky fellow," Irene chuckled as she sat down on her bunk just waiting for him to get changed. "Alright, take your time," Irene said as she placed her hands next to her as she steadied herself as just stretching her legs and arms as she smiled to herself excited to be here with Jiyong.

@❦ Irene "Hmm~" I brought a finger to my lips to think on it for a moment. "A night out with a beautiful girl and watch the stars drift across the night's sky?" I tilted me as if to think extremely hard on the matter. "Yea I think I take you up on that." I smiled your way then grabbed a pair of clothes suitable to change into in order to provide me with a more elegant appearance. "Gimme a second I'll get changed now."

@☾ Kwon Jiyong Irene nodded as she untied the ribbons holding her cloak closed as she took off her cloak not thinking she'd need it at the moment as she folded up her cloak just setting it down on the bottom bunk. "Yes, a bottom - oh did you know? I am that predictable?" Irene chuckled a bit as she took out two small charms just tieing each one to their respective bunks as she smiled. "They are protection talismans for safe travel and they keep away bad spirits," Irene smiled as she placed a few of things on the bottom bunk. "Oh, that sounds like fun, drinks, and food. And, maybe we can find a nice spot to watch the stars. The night sky is pretty clear tonight, so we should be able to see them really nicely - also the moon is supposed to be out tonight too," Irene smiled to him

@❦ Irene "A bottom uh?" I chuckled to myself taking a look up at the top bunk nodding approval. "I figured you'd favor the bottom. " I took the opportunity to get my belongings situation as I knew the trip would take at least 10 hours. "Well I know we have time to kill because the destination is pretty lengthy. But, I figure we could go an enjoy the cocktail hour and maybe a bit of dinner. How does that sound?" I asked placing one of my bags on the bunk above.

@☾ Kwon Jiyong Irene stumbled as the boat lurched as she nad never been on a ship before as she held onto the frame of the bunk bed a bit to keep her from stumbling again. She looked over to him as she was excited about their trip and to see how she liked riding in a boat over the airship. She wasn't exactly sure which one she liked better right now. She smiled over to Jiyong as she nodded in agreement. "It will be," She got out as the announcement was made as she smiled back at him playfully. "That I did handsome, I'll take the bottom if that is okay with you?" She asked him

@❦ Irene Looking over at you I took your bags and set them on the shelves of the cabin and mine the floor. "Oooh" I stumble back a bit not used the swaying and shifting of the boat departing out a sea. I wasn't accustomed to the waves of the sea as I was to the current drifts of the sky. To be honest I wasn't even a fan of the ocean at all as I always felt most comfortable on land and sky. "This is going make for an interesting trip I-" My sentence was cut short by the interrupting voice on the intercom. "Attention all passengers. We will not be embarking on our destination to Haven hill in the Angel Kingdom please be sure to find your sleeping quarters and prepare to set sail." I nodded my head then looked over at you. "Well, you hear them beautiful. So which do you prefer a top or bottom...bunk that is?" I smiled mischievously.

@☾ Kwon Jiyong Irene giggled a little as she winked at him. "I know, I am only teasing, Yongie," She said as glanced over to the steamboat as she glanced back over to him. She interlocked their fingers together as she followed him onto the steamboat. Irene followed him to their private cabin as she shook her head. "This is perfect. I only care about being with you and spending time with you," Irene kissed his cheek as she didn't mind about them having to sleep on different bunks while they traveled on the steamboat, besides two people can fit on a bunk bed for a little bit before it became uncomfortable.

@❦ Irene "Oh ah ha very funny. I'm a rather good pilot when I'm not being shot at." I looked over as the steamboat whistled once more. "Come on I guess that's out queue to set sail." I reached down to intertwined our fingers together. Once we boarded the ship I sought out ou cabin at once. Pushing past a few other of the ship occupants it wasn't long until I found our a private cabin. It was big nor extremely lavish but just comfortable enough for two. There were a top bunk and a bottom bunk meant to accommodate two travels not necessarily a pair of lovers but it was cozy just all the same. "Sorry, its nothing too fancy but it's all I could get us under such short notice," I admitted with an apologetic smile.
