<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">When he pointed out the hint of jealousy that was indeed lacing her tone from earlier, Irene huffed and tried to stop a smile from appearing, he was a coy soul, that is one thing for sure, “Jealousy?

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">When he pointed out the hint of jealousy that was indeed lacing her tone from earlier, Irene huffed and tried to stop a smile from appearing, he was a coy soul, that is one thing for sure, “Jealousy? I usually don’t associate myself with such… trivial and petty emotions but you’re not exactly wrong. Color me impressed and jealous alike to hear that you received such an invitation” she admitted and pursed her lips lightly, she’s been around for a while to know how hierarchy works in the supernatural world and business world, “I guess it’s the old soul in me. I’m nowhere near ancient, I don’t even hit 100 yet but I’d say that for someone who is raised up in the 30s, social events like that, it reminds me of how often I used to attend them” They still have those events, disguised as charity events, if she wasn’t mistaken. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">She didn’t like attending them though, not when the harpies were there with their cutthroat selves. But attendance for those things are most of the time,</span> <b>compulsory</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. “I mean, the Ailwards are infamously known for their… positions” That was one way to phrase it. “I don’t think they’re the type who would mingle around easily.” Understandable enough. They had more pressing matters to attend to. When he told her that he didn’t get along with the rival shop across his own, who also happened to be a guard, she snickered playfully, “Just don’t go getting yourself in trouble now.” He seemed like an adventurous soul, albeit a reckless one who is also ambitious, which both traits go</span> <b>well</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">in hand together but she had a feeling that he’s had plenty of stories to tell for his old days too. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://66.media.tumblr.com/dbe01e4eff9b2ebfd66f95917ae57254/tumblr_inline_ppg2stlLEi1uy9est_540.gif" target="_blank"><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/dbe01e4eff9b2ebfd66f95917ae57254/tumblr_inline_ppg2stlLEi1uy9est_540.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-left"/></a>“I’m very generous with my compliments” she grinned sheepishly, as if she was a school student who was just awarded with a gold star in the classroom. “Haven’t you realized by now, mister? History is written by survivors. Winners. Doesn’t matter if they won it by default or the opposite, winners are still winners, at the end of the day. Only they matter. That’s why we have psychopaths gracing our history books too, because they made an impact, not a positive one sure, I wouldn’t classify committing genocide as anywhere positive but they’re there. So why give up now? It’s not as if you have a lot to lose right?” She had pending responsibilities on her shoulders for every second of her day but if she was given the chance to embark on her own journey, she would take it. She hasn’t been here for long, but he already found ways to make her smile and laugh with his humor. Irene could appreciate that. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I will never get tired of bossing old men around, or men, or people in general” she winked playfully, “I like being at the top. You have power there, why would I give it up?” It sounded a lot like a question rather than a statement though. The blonde scrunched her nose and had a funny look marring her face when he called her Auntie, “God, that sounds awful. Imagine having a bunch of 60 year olds calling you auntie, I may as well be their mother or… god, wouldn’t that make me a grandmother?” She could feel the shivers running down her spine at the mere thought of it. She noticed that he was going to close the place and took that as her sign to leave too, she’ll come over in a few days maybe, just to see if things worked out. So she pulled out her business card because it had everything on her for him to know, including her phone number, “I’ll wire the payment later. You know how to reach me to give me all the details. Who knows, maybe I’ll talk about you to my slightly smaller circle of other diviners” she mused before making her way to the door, waving a small goodbye, “I’ll see you later.” </span></p> It was indeed quite the compl…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-06-06:6610746:Comment:4086142020-06-06T15:12:45.151Z✓ Abraham Maddoxhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Nina980
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It was indeed quite the compliment to be invited to such a prestigious event such as a ball at the Ailward Manor; yet it didn’t feel all too much of a compliment nor a thing to say to try and impress another being. Abe guessed he was just one of those people that did try and see others as equals; hell, he would probably go as far to say that he would remain casual around a celebrity. “Is that jealousy I hear in your tone, Miss Farley?” He queried with a slight…</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It was indeed quite the compliment to be invited to such a prestigious event such as a ball at the Ailward Manor; yet it didn’t feel all too much of a compliment nor a thing to say to try and impress another being. Abe guessed he was just one of those people that did try and see others as equals; hell, he would probably go as far to say that he would remain casual around a celebrity. “Is that jealousy I hear in your tone, Miss Farley?” He queried with a slight arch of his brow; which was almost confirmed when she stated that she was not aware that there was even an event going on. The mere sight of her working out how he got invited to one of their parties and not her was something he would certainly pay to see again. “I think the majority of them are, I only really saw Cora at the place and even then she was trying her best to avoid every single soul” Abraham laughed. “True, I can’t say I’d know what any of them truly looked like” He shrugged. “But the owner of the shop across the road? Bexley, she’s a guard. Can’t say we particularly get on”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Which was the understatement of the year; although he did try and get some peace between them, simply because her act of the theatrics were not something he enjoyed seeing. Abraham snorted and glanced down for a moment as a smile played at his lips. “I’m both, but I still manage to get out alive and tell the tale - even if I know that one day one of those adventures will likely be the last” He knew one day his luck would run out, but until then, he would continue to put himself in reckless positions. Abe glanced at her for a moment and exhaled in amusement. “Within a matter of seconds, you have called me brave, dumb and insane. Not sure being the one to be brave enough to want to find the loophole would get their name written down in the history books” He replied, but that would be a long while to go yet, he wasn’t particularly close with finding anything, not even with his very extensive research which had taken over the majority of his waking life. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Abraham watched her in silence as she spoke about her dream job when she was a child; and even now, even if it wasn’t the line of work she found herself in, he could tell that it was still a huge passion of hers. Despite being quite a broody individual, he did take the simple pleasure of watching others speak of their passions and get excited by them. “It looks like you may have a fall back career if you ever get bored of bossing the old men around” He chuckled and his fingers brushed over his chin before he nodded in agreement; what he did came easy to him, one would even argue too easily. “Besides, it’s not like we completely hate our jobs, and even if we did, we’re lucky enough to have a longer lifespan to find something we did love” He shrugged and found his smile growing as she revealed how old she was compared to her employees. “Auntie Irene, has a ring to it, no?” He teased.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The joyous world of business” Abe muttered, he couldn’t and didn’t even want to imagine what life could be like with that sort of <a href="https://media1.tenor.com/images/95c7c1211a71bf02144bfe3719d6094c/tenor.gif?itemid=9911197" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://media1.tenor.com/images/95c7c1211a71bf02144bfe3719d6094c/tenor.gif?itemid=9911197&profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right" width="302" height="169"/></a>power; at least in his family business, he could work alone and even could hire or fire whenever he pleased. “Piss them off enough to give at least one of them a heart attack, for me?” He grinned and grabbed his coat from the hook once he had packed away the majority of the leftover ingredients; he would tidy the rest of the mess up later. “Well, we just have to trace the magic?” He spoke matter of factly before coming to a stop beside her. “Plus, I would assume you would know where she lives, who she hangs out with” He quirked his brows in a playful albeit challenging way. “It’ll likely last four days, worse case scenario a week..” Abe caught her glance and rolled his eyes. “If it gets to seven days without easing, we’ll sort it out.” His words were almost sighed as he inclined his head to the door to action them leaving. </span></p> Irene had a noticeable frown…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-05-06:6610746:Comment:4065142020-05-06T16:44:39.305Z✓ Irene Farleyhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Euphoria
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Irene had a noticeable frown on her face before slowly falling down the pits of laughter, of course, to expect someone to break into one of the most heavily fortified places in Evermore, if not the</span> <b>most</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, is a bit far-fetched.

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Irene had a noticeable frown on her face before slowly falling down the pits of laughter, of course, to expect someone to break into one of the most heavily fortified places in Evermore, if not the</span> <b>most</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, is a bit far-fetched. She knew from what she’s heard from others that there were frequent patrolling sessions and plenty of spells protecting the residency. It was the house of 8 dragons, after all. They had guards alike protecting them. “But still to go there with an invitation sounds just as better, it’s not as if they extend invitations out for just anyone” she narrowed her bright hues playfully, they weren’t the kind of family that held any other social activities or events that much. “I thought they were the type to keep to themselves though, I wasn’t aware they held any events” She wondered if it was the latest one. “Maybe they heard you from one of their guards, who knows… they may know of your shop, one might have even ventured here to get a few things.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> <a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3561192110?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3561192110?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="240" class="align-left"/></a>Some knew of their identities and some don’t, preferably because they tend to lead a secretive life. “You… stole an artefact from the Aspect of Darkness? I’m not sure if you’re just that brave or plain stupid, no offense” she chuckled, he was definitely daring in some parts and from what she’s seen, he had a certain ambition to his streak. Maybe that has something to do with it. “You’re insane, do you know that? Have I said that before?” She was pretty sure she’s said that at least once. “Well, you can’t do everything… that is true. But you managed to find a loophole in the scales you shouldn’t be tipping so I think that is more than admirable enough” Bravery only goes so far anyway, if you weren’t willing to do anything, then you weren’t going to succeed in one swipe only. “Isn’t that what magic supposedly taught us? To know that there is always a loophole in every single thing?” It was why she learned no spell could be perfected, because they weren’t perfect, to begin with.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> He wasn’t the first to ask what her company does, but the way he had enquired about them was very different compared to the others. Maybe because he actually sounded genuine unlike most of the others. That was a refreshing thought. She hummed in affirmation, “Yeah, an interior designer. It was the only thing I remember actually liking to do, move a few furniture here and there, deciding on which layouts that fit better, all those stuffs.” A snicker escaped her when he said he didn’t expect to land himself in retail, “Not everyone gets to do what they want to do, huh?” Unfortunately, that was the reality of things. “But still, I think you’re still somewhat lucky to know what you’re doing. Some people had to force themselves to learn this and that just to pay the dues.” Age didn’t always seem to be a problem for at least 90% of the supernatural population, “I’m not that far older than them, but enough for them to call me their aunt, at least” Sister or aunt, probably.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> “If only I could just think about hiring this person and that person, I would’ve done that so long ago but things don’t just settle after that… it’s frustrating” She’s been the CEO for decades long, other females serving as her proxy since she couldn’t age normally like the others. The diviner shook her head and chuckled when he told her she had nothing to worry unless she was to piss him off, that does sound like something she didn’t want to be involved in. “Please, the last thing I want to do is piss someone else. I have enough to piss off sitting in the chairs in a room filled with the board of directors.” Irene also had a guess that he wasn’t the type to just forgive and forget without delivering the same momentum, if not tenfold. “Easy to hunt down? In what way? How long do you reckon this curse will last? I hardly doubt it’ll send a lasting effect forever… there must be a time window for it, right?” </span></p> Abraham mused at the very ide…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-04-18:6610746:Comment:4054282020-04-18T14:28:13.205Z✓ Abraham Maddoxhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Nina980
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Abraham mused at the very idea of him crashing the party at the Aspect Mansion, and although he was good in his ways; and hardly noticeable in daily life, he still highly doubted he would get past the guards and</span> <i><span style="font-weight: 400;">then</span></i> <span style="font-weight: 400;">through the gates without getting caught.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Abraham mused at the very idea of him crashing the party at the Aspect Mansion, and although he was good in his ways; and hardly noticeable in daily life, he still highly doubted he would get past the guards and</span> <i><span style="font-weight: 400;">then</span></i> <span style="font-weight: 400;">through the gates without getting caught. He also dreaded to imagine what they would do to those who were caught in the act - although he was aware they were creatures of peace, despite their history with the celestials. He chuckled at her exclamation. "That would be a far more interesting tale to tell, but it was an invitation - I just wonder how they knew about me to even invite me" Abe shrugged. "For a man who spends the majority of his time alone, it's very questionable" Perhaps that would be a question for an Aspect or even Bexley, his neighbourhood guard to answer. His lips curled ever so slightly, it seemed they all had a very cliche, stereotypical of what The Aspect of Darkness should look like. "Perhaps its a reflection of her mood too, she seemed quite gloomy, at least on that day" He chuckled, completely aware that would warrant a slap if she was here. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The diviner scratched the back of his neck and nodded to confirm that it was probably a good thing. "I.. I was caught stealing an artefact<a href="https://66.media.tumblr.com/8e907b9f02c961679324e1e77c25b543/7c47760315bc81ed-60/s400x600/aa749264c080dc2d6f3559537ce13047787f411b.gifv" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/8e907b9f02c961679324e1e77c25b543/7c47760315bc81ed-60/s400x600/aa749264c080dc2d6f3559537ce13047787f411b.gifv?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right" width="207" height="263"/></a> from Cora" He knew it was wrong but he was like a naughty school kid who got caught and couldn't help but smile. "So if she saw me doing that, who knows what she would say or do" He shrugged. Abe nodded in agreement that there was indeed a weak spot in the great divide and he was adamant that one day it would be broken; preferably by him but he could still see someone else doing the deed. "I'm certainly not wanting to tip the scales and bring every dead person to life. Trust me, some people are better off dead. But to speak, to communicate to them safely would be a huge breakthrough." And he was surprised with all the madness going on in the city as of late, he was surprised something as drastic as completely opening the barrier hadn't been attempted. Abe rose both brows in interest as she explained what her family business and found it entirely interesting that it was to do with architecture. "An interior designer? That is interesting. I can't really remember what I wanted to be as a kid, but I know it certainly was not doing this… Being in retail" Abraham shrugged. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"I wouldn't dare to ask you how old you are, if the white old men on your board are still younger than you" Abraham smirked, in the grand scheme of things, he was a rather young Diviner, in his 60s now, he believed. He had a habit of remembering his true age and then forgetting once again; perhaps a true indicator of his age. "Perhaps its time to hire some old white women to balance it out" He winked before nodding at her realisation of keeping the question to herself. "Very wise idea for now. Perhaps further down the line I will indulge you in my very own past, but for now - the less people that know where I am is for the best" Abe advised, he had already put a protection spell on his shop to stop unwelcome visitors. "You have nothing to worry about, darlin'" Abe mused. "Unless you piss me off to the brink of no return" His tone held a flirtatious ring to it before quirking a slight brow at how she was slightly interested in what would be happening to her victim. "With the curse linked by us, she will be incredibly easy to hunt down…." He left that hanging in the air - he already knew he would leave to watch some aspects of the curse go down. </span></p> The Aspects were popular, and…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-03-19:6610746:Comment:4028192020-03-19T16:22:00.780Z✓ Irene Farleyhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Euphoria

Call it pure idolism, if you must but that is what it is. "The wrong invite? So you're telling me that you crashed the party huh? Sounds classic" she could almost picture how that went along. "You went into their mansion?" Her jaw fell in awe, nobody could even sit tight in front of the entrance gates without feeling shivers running down their spine because god knows what will happen if they stood any longer than they have to, much less set a foot inside without an invitation. Admittedly, Abraham said he had an invite, that's probably why he's fine. "Maybe not the lollipops and rainbows, but I don't expect her to look any different from others, honestly. Aside from perhaps, dark wardrobe? Aspect of Darkness equals to dark clothes? Yeah that's probably cliche" Irene didn't own a lot of dark clothes, surprisingly. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">But considering her role in the company, there was no way her secretary would be caught dead having her wear 'non-sophisticated' match ups. That's Nadia, for sure. "Probably a good thing? If I was you, I would actually want to meet her, I heard she takes apprentices of her own. Most of the guards, if not all the diviners there, have trained under her. That's a massive opportunity, don't you think so?" Really, if she was offered the chance to learn more about magic and delve deeper than she's ever been taught, why not? "People try to break it down but surely if it was that easy to bring it down, they wouldn't elect protectors to keep it up, right? It's not a fortress, it's not impregnable. There's a weak spot, they just don't want people to know about it." As everything that goes along with nature, things needed to be balanced, she learned that a while ago.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> "If every dead person starts coming back to life in less than 24 hours they've been dead, then you can consider the world is ending" she scoffed, it was an absurd idea to even digress. When he asked her why she wouldn't want to look forward to it, Irene shrugged casually, "The scale would be tipped off so badly everything would break in sight." That's a scary thought for her, for as much as the blonde hated a lot of things, she didn't wish to die in that kind of</span> <b>natural selection</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. If she could live longer, she'd opt for it. "It's more of an investing company, but it's focused around business building, architectures if you'd properly put it. We have plenty of subsidiaries and sections but I remember I wanted to be an interior designer when i was a kid so… there you go." Family business was such a pain, she couldn't even say no because she's the only Farley that could inherit ir legitimately. That, or she would give it up to her cousins who are already old, and perhaps tomorrow their grandchildren in the future as well. </span></p>

Though admittedly they're even younger than me but… you get where I'm going. Oh and the board of directors… gosh, the misogyny. It's irritating." Can't handle to see a woman in position of power, she always told herself whenever she entered the office. "Light is never an excuse to justify what they're doing. I forgot about it decades ago so I have no idea why she still hasn't moved on." It was beginning to annoy her, honestly. She didn't do anything these days to warrant such a behavior. "I feel like I wanna ask released from where but I'll keep it to myself" It's probably a sensitive topic and the last thing she wanted to do was poke the sleeping bear. Or he could even be a tiger. "I should be worried to stay in the same room as someone so sadistic but I think I can see the appeal" a small smirk played around her lips as she sneaked a peek towards the cauldron, "Just a bit...

She’s probably long forgotten me by now” Which, probably wasn’t a bad thing; he had heard that trouble seemed to follow the family around more often than not, and well, he had his fair share of troubles himself; did he really want to add theirs to his list too? He quirked his head a little at her amused comment. “How would you imagine her? Lollipops and rainbows? Please” A light chuckle echoed in his chest as his fingers ran through is ever growing locks. “I’ve heard of her, I would worry if a Diviner hadn’t. Unfortunately I didn’t get to meet her at this event, probably a good thing.” He mused. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Honestly? I’m surprised the barrier hasn’t already been broken” And he was genuinely surprised; of course, he knew about The Aspect of Death, as well as the spell which can bring an individual back from the dead within a certain amount of time - but. Sometimes, you just needed to speak to someone on the other side for answers, a different perspective or even for the better good - if they were murdered. “There can be a lot of good that could come out of the barrier being broken. It would have to be done safely or else God only knows what could enter into this world.</span> <i><span style="font-weight: 400;">But</span></i> <span style="font-weight: 400;">I believe it could help cold cases, free an innocent man or simply provide comfort for those who were left behind” Abraham shrugged, he was, at heart quite a kind and nurturing man but only when it interested him; and in this case, if he</span> <i><span style="font-weight: 400;">was</span></i> <span style="font-weight: 400;">the one to do it, then he would bring the Maddox name higher up the rankings and whatnot. Plus, it would help him when clearing his own name from the death of Luciana. “Out of curiosity, why wouldn’t you look forward to it? If it were to happen?” Abe assumed she took the chance that those who are dead, should stay dead - no matter the cost. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Abraham dipped his head. “You will be one of the first people I call” Although he had a gut feeling that it wouldn’t take a phone call to let someone know that it had been done; he would put a good guess that the world would be shook from such a thing collapsing. Abe listened silently and nodded occasionally to show he was listening, his fingers curled around the edge of the table top whilst his gaze flicked between the blonde in front of him as well as the boiling blood which rested just beneath his chin; the heat tickling his skin. “And what is this business? But it’s understandable, I guess in a sense we’re in the same or at least a related boat. You wouldn’t necessarily pick this life or business but you don’t have the heart to see it crumble either” His lips curled at the very clear disgust she held for her board of directors. “Let me guess, boring old white men?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Curse, definitely a curse. Unless you’re able to turn it off and only dabble in their mind when you want to” Abe replied before humming in agreement to her comment. “Sometimes, I wonder if the light is more dangerous than the dark. At least with the dark, you expect what is to come, 90% of the time” Abraham grabbed the nearest cloth and coated his hand as he lifted the now hot cauldron back onto the table, a grinned into the steam which rose from it. “Yes. Released” He glanced up at her before grinning at the teasing comment she threw his way. “We all have our favourite genre” His shoulders shrugged nonchalantly. “Aren’t you a little curious to see how it goes?”</span></p> The Ailward Aspects were pret…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-01-12:6610746:Comment:3974362020-01-12T13:58:47.684Z✓ Irene Farleyhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Euphoria
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Ailward Aspects were pretty much an enigmatic force, tales of their family had spread across continents since centuries ago. People knew of them, some thought them a myth and the remaining ones sought to believe them somewhere in the littlest space that was in their heart. "You've met the Aspect of Darkness?"

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Ailward Aspects were pretty much an enigmatic force, tales of their family had spread across continents since centuries ago. People knew of them, some thought them a myth and the remaining ones sought to believe them somewhere in the littlest space that was in their heart. "You've met the Aspect of Darkness?" The stories of them settling in Evermore had her curiosity piqued too, that was more than admittable. Who wouldn't be? They came from a source that nobody else would ever be able to attain. And what of their powers? Surely, immeasurable. "Oh come on, you don't seriously expect for the Aspect of Darkness to look brooding and dark" she chuckled, though judging from the way her pupils dilated, Irene was also enthusiastic to talk about it. "What about the Aspect of Magic? Have you heard about her? I mean presuming this is also another of her sisters" As a dark diviner, it was only understandable that Irene was drawn to two of those Aspects out of all 8. </span></p>

It was one of the reasons why she didn't bother to join, after all. Why attach yourself on somewhere others can use you freely for? Definitely not it for Irene. The difference between her and Abraham clashed right on the spot, she wasn't much of a risk taker as he was. And when she takes them, she made sure to have a backup plan to serve her purpose in ensuring her vitality. A little bit of self-preservation never hurts and Irene had gone through enough to know the world doesn't wait around for you. "Your goal is surprising… interesting. Though I'd admit it's not something I would so much look forward to but I respect the sentiment. That's awfully ambitious for you and when I see ambition in someone, I know for a fact that they are not slackers. They don't give up easily." It's a good trait for people like them. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">"But please do let me know once you've achieved it, the whole breaking down the veil thing." Just because she wasn't one who would readily hop into the wagon for it, doesn't mean she couldn't appreciate the efforts. When he asked her about her life, Irene found herself pressing her lips together and shrugged absentmindedly, "Both, I guess. My parents worked hard for it to flourish. It was a family business passed down to them who in return made their parents proud, even more so after they married each other and combine the strength of two. You know those people who would always say things like two is better than one? Yeah… They're that kind. I was an only child, didn't exactly earn themselves parents of the year but… I respect them enough to continue their legacy and see it as my own. I'm the only one left in my family. It is my responsibility as much as it is mine. Besides, who would handle it? The executives? Please, I'd soon find myself rolling in my grave before that happens." The blonde spared no effort in trying to shield her distaste on her board of directors.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> "Imagine being able to read people's minds… I'm not sure if that's a gift or a curse per se." Surely, it wouldn't be something someone would look forward to, every time, right? A scoff escaped her once he told her she could still choose the other path, "Yeah, thank you but no thank you, I think I'll stick like this. Fae, Necromancer, light or dark… nothing separates it. Neither is more noble than the other. I don't see why people think it'll categorize them into something." A smirk came across her when he mentioned he enjoyed the thrill of danger, "An adventurer then" No judgement there, if she didn't have something to hold onto, perhaps she would do the same. Perhaps. But alas, that's not what she has planned for this life. "Released?" A chuckle was elicited when he told her they could get popcorn once the curse takes place, "Aren't you a bit sadistic?" she teased. </span></p> Abraham nodded some as she ca…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-01-05:6610746:Comment:3967662020-01-05T12:53:33.217Z✓ Abraham Maddoxhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Nina980
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Abraham nodded some as she caught up with who he was talking about. “That’s the one” He had the pleasure of meeting The Aspect of Darkness at one of their famous events at the manor; and even to this day, he wondered how on Earth he had managed to get himself invited to such a prestige event. “I have only met one of the Aspects, however.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Abraham nodded some as she caught up with who he was talking about. “That’s the one” He had the pleasure of meeting The Aspect of Darkness at one of their famous events at the manor; and even to this day, he wondered how on Earth he had managed to get himself invited to such a prestige event. “I have only met one of the Aspects, however. Aspect of Darkness and in all fairness, she doesn’t seem very dark” He spoke aloud as he recalled the conversation he had with the woman who seemed just as thrilled by the party as he did. “Or perhaps I just had my own image of what Darkness should be like” His broad shoulders shrugged; he pictured someone of darkness, dark intentions and the like, but in a society like this, he knew he would be far off the mark. “But yes, I wonder what his outlook is on that possibility, probably wouldn’t share his thoughts even if we asked” He imagined that they would want to remain quite hush hush on the matter. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">His lips curled some as she mentioned she would only go so far with such a mission and that if needs be, she would pull out without hesitation; that was where they seemed to differ. Abe was one to do reckless things, especially nowadays - a decade or so ago, it might have been different; these days, there didn’t seem like much to live for, besides his Family and the business that they ran. Many would say that was enough, but for him, there was more to life than just those two things - and if he had the possibility of finding out then he would do it; even if there was a risk of death. On the bright side, he would also be reunited with Luciana if worse came to worse. “Well I have mentioned one, to break the barrier so we can actually communicate with the dead, if and when we please” He nodded, and he truly believed the goal was reachable; perhaps even with an end in sight. “The other missions, I’m still trying to work those out” He had many cards to be dealt, he was just picking the right moments to play them. <a href="http://24.media.tumblr.com/abb9df25e79dd1bd6f5f0953e1dbd8b5/tumblr_n62z7fJicf1qzgwn1o1_250.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/abb9df25e79dd1bd6f5f0953e1dbd8b5/tumblr_n62z7fJicf1qzgwn1o1_250.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right"/></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Is it a legacy you wanted or was it something you feel is necessary to continue?” He pried, and if she chose not to tell him, he certainly would not lose any sleep over the matter; either way, he noticed it probably paid well, and thus, she lived a good life because of it. “There is a lot more in this world that cannot be described; for example, to many humans we are just a myth - so who is to say that other beings and possibilities can’t happen” He grinned and nodded. “The psychic Grand Master just proves that” Abe confirmed before muttered a string of words in Latin; all the while he listened to how she didn’t follow her parents in terms of beng Fae. “You can still turn Fae, but it's hard to change our ways” He mused, there was no way now would he choose to go to the lighter side of things. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He straightened himself out. “I enjoy hunting for them, gives you a bit of a thrill because they’re normally protected, I guess I enjoy the danger” It sometimes felt like he was in the middle of a video game when hunting them down. “I found my magic again when I was released” It was on a matter of time before he told someone of his prison days; he glanced down at the boiling blood which would soon evaporate into nothingness. “I’ve attached the curse to her blood, once it has evaporated, it will be in full motion and the hallucinations and nightmares will begin. Shall we get the popcorn?”</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">All these time, Irene was so used to being surrounded by people who only thought of themselves. There was, of course, no problem with being selfish or self-centered. She had no qualms with such people, no. Because Irene herself knew if it came down to saving herself or another, he would evidently choose herself because one must survive along the way and in this cruel world, she intends to be that person. She wanted to be one of those people who would survive the world. There were times she would show her kindness, and there were times when she would cut their throat. Irene Farley wasn't called a harpy for no reason. Even if she was given such a nickname in the business world, it still didn't change the fact that if you cross her, she would gladly cut you off in return. Doesn't mean the blonde wasn't trying to improve herself, of course. She's doing better. And would've been the better version if people would just stop trying to antagonize her. "Aspect of Realms, huh? You mean one of the Ailward Aspects? We have 8 of them, right? Each with their own… well, aspect."</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> <a href="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/37/2f/fa/372ffaad35828001a9f9c957de0856ef.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/37/2f/fa/372ffaad35828001a9f9c957de0856ef.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="240" class="align-left"/></a>Irene won't lie, she was incredibly curious about them too. How it was possible to have such figures governing the supernatural world, it's interesting. "I wouldn't want to dig myself a hole I can't get out of, though. I'll have to see how far that stretches out because or else, I'm going to have to back out on that part" She may be ambitious, but she wasn't stupid nor was she naive. She knows when to back out of a fight she couldn't win. It was a survival tactic. "Though, I do have to wonder, what kind of missions are</span> <b>you</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">on? It seems like there's more than meets the eye" Perhaps she didn't have the right to prod, but she did have one to ask, so in the end, it was all up to him to answer or evade. A chuckle escaped her when he pointed out that she must've had quite the connections to be running such a business, "I guess you can say that. It's the family business. To carry it on, is my legacy, the only thing my parents ever gave to me. Not that I would know much about their</span> <b>giving</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">because they were dead before I could even have a proper conversation with either of them."</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Sucks to be them. Did she feel the guilt that she was the one who indirectly caused her parents' death? Sometimes. But most of the time? She didn't bother to think back to it. It was an accident. No one could see the truth, but then again, she feels like the truth is overrated. "Truth is what people choose to believe in. It's a matter of opinions. So I think it's overrated. But, I do think there's more to our abilities, magic stretches out widely, who knows… maybe one day, you'll see that you can actually read someone." She'd met a few psychics who claimed they were gifted with clairvoyance but all of those were just mind games. "I mean, the new Initia Grand Master in the city, I heard… is a Psychic." No Fae in the family, though, Irene was surprised. "My mother and father was Fae. I think I was the first dark one in the family lineage… which says a lot about their treatment to me, I guess." </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hunting down the objects to make it a reality? That piqued her interest and Irene found herself wondering what he was planning. "And how is that coming up? Your hunt?" Hearing that he didn't have magic at that time made her hum, she's heard of those. People who were</span> <b>disconnected</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">from nature. "I've heard of those people who were… disconnected from nature, but I wasn't sure if that's a myth or real.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whilst he evaluated her, he wondered if she had the ability to read him and get a sense of what sort of human being he was; it was a rarity if someone did suss him out, yet the very deed had not yet been done - primarily due to the fact that not many people stuck around him long enough to get a sense of his being.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whilst he evaluated her, he wondered if she had the ability to read him and get a sense of what sort of human being he was; it was a rarity if someone did suss him out, yet the very deed had not yet been done - primarily due to the fact that not many people stuck around him long enough to get a sense of his being. Those that did, where either family members or customers of his; and his customers, well, they simply only saw a show, a version of himself that he had mastered throughout his years, and particularly in Prison. It was a side of Abraham that he, himself wasn’t a fan; the man was sneezy, a customer pleasing scumbag, he much preferred the socially awkward, slightly strange man who he saw in the mirror each morning. Thus, after their interaction had finished, whenever that may be - Abe was sure to ask that rather ridiculous question; although he had a feeling the woman before him would make comments along the way. “It takes a very small human being to pass the blame to another person.</span> <i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Very</span></i> <span style="font-weight: 400;">small” <a href="https://66.media.tumblr.com/6618d7e2099b55cf6a594df9a0ae97d6/e00b74676e25f92e-7a/s500x750/408b9ad440e072b3a69d3fb4e7f201fd829d27f1.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/6618d7e2099b55cf6a594df9a0ae97d6/e00b74676e25f92e-7a/s500x750/408b9ad440e072b3a69d3fb4e7f201fd829d27f1.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right" width="224" height="291"/></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That comment alone sent some comfort through him, Christian would never admit to what he had done, not only to his daughter but to Abraham himself; thus, when the time was right and he was sure his parents would not get caught in the crossfire, Abe would set the man free from all his lies. A slight amused smile occupied his lips as his comments about an alternate universe began to process within her mind, and he was pleasantly happy to see that the very concept of it pissed her off too. “Well, perhaps once we have both finished whatever missions we are on in this life, we can investigate. Because let's face it, an Aspect of Realms? Kind of suggests that it is possible” His broad shoulders gave off a shrug, but she was correct, they couldn’t get lost thinking about that whilst they had so many demons to face in the universe which was very real to them now. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Abraham watched Irene with intent, and he had to admit, this was the first proper conversation that he has had in a while that he thoroughly enjoyed; and possibly the first individual he had met in the city where he would be surprisingly comfortable to grab a drink with. She offered many different topics of conversation and challenged him in many ways; it wouldn’t be too crazy to think that they could possibly be friends - she seemed as if she wouldn’t judge him from his time behind bars. Abe shook his head and brought himself back to their conversation. “You must have quite the connections too, to be running such a business?” He queried whilst he fiddled with the many different objects to start the curse which would soon be on its way to its intended target. “It is what my family have specialised in for many years, not a single Fae has been in our blood” He went on. “But unfortunately, it is all a scam, and we can’t talk to the deceased - we just use our powers to see the truth and such of the family and individual… Hence the cursed and dark objects”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The male cleared his throat, perhaps she could be trusted with this information. “But, when I am not working, I am back here or hunting down other objects to make our job a reality.” Abe left his comment like that, and let her interpret it the way she wished, before muttering a series of words to ignite the flame which would heat the curse into energy. “I guess because the person I would want to curse deserves something much much worse than that. I’m just biding my time - and there was a period of time in my life where I was unable to use any magic.” He glanced up at her, his eyes alight with a green vibrancy as the magic in his veins came alive. </span></p>
