The Dal
Every nerve in the bar was a little bit frayed tonight. Bo's behaviour over the 72 hours since her Dawning had been erratic at best. At times she was restless, pacing like a caged cat. At other times she was listless, barely more than catatonic. At one point the previous evening Trick had to clear the bar because she was radiating charm and it was affecting everyone in the building.
"Trick what the hell is going on? I feel so horny I want to rip off my clothes and jump you on the bar. Ew, I can't believe I just said that, let alone thought it." whined Kenzi as she placed her head down on the bar trying to get a grip on herself.
Trick looked around the room and noted that everyone appeared to be struggling with control of their baser instincts. Dyson was pacing and seemed to be on the verge of losing control of his wolf. Trick finally spotted Bo sitting at the end of the bar. She had a white knuckled grip on the bar rail, she was panting slightly and as he watched her eyes would pulse blue and then fade to her normal brown. Trick nudged Kenzi's arm and pointed towards Bo. They both watched as her forearms and the exposed skin of her upper body glowed a bright pink when her eyes were blue. "Holy shizz balls!" exclaimed Kenzi "That's just not normal is it."
Trick looked at her with a raised brow "Not normal! Kenzi, the most powerful succubi I've ever known or even heard about, can project charm about a meter while concentrating on one... um...victim. It appears that Bo is indiscriminately radiating charm and it's affecting a room full of people as if she was touching each one of them. This is definitely not what I would consider normal!"
"Well Trickster we better do something about it quick, because we know she can drain everyone here all at once if she loses control of her hunger." snarks Kenzi.
"Oh Shit. EVERYBODY OUT! BAR'S CLOSED!" bellows Trick. All the patrons start moving towards the door, pausing each time Bo's eyes pulse. Trick looked at Kenzi and then back at Bo. "Maybe I can give her something to put her out" he reached under the bar and produced a dusty bottle.
Just then Bo's eyes turned an intense bright blue, her whole body glowed an eerie pink. Dyson dropped to all fours and howled. Hale slumped against the wall and let out an ear piercing whistle. Kenzi arched her back and let out a long moan. Trick drop the bottle he was holding and then fell to the floor groaning.
Hotel room in the Renaissance Center, downtown Detroit.
"Wow! That was ... amazing." panted Lorelei trying to catch her breath, her body still trembling.
"Yeah, Wow" Tamsin managed to respond, her mind still too clouded to form a coherent sentence as she came down from her peak.
Dyson and Hale were playing pool, while Trick busied himself cleaning glasses behind the bar and Kenzi sat getting her drink on. They were all keeping a watchful eye on Bo in case a repeat of last night's festivities started to occur.
Bo was currently sitting quietly at the end of the bar playing with her drink. The last 72 hours had been a hell of a roller-coaster ride for her emotionally. The feelings of love and longing coming and going at various times and various intensity levels. The ache in her chest was the dullest it had been since it began. She at least felt a lot calmer than she had about an hour ago when it was all she could do not to kill anyone that happened to stray into her line of sight.
The relative quiet was broken by the ringing of Dyson's cell phone "Dyson... where?...How many?... Ok try to keep everyone out, Hale and I will be there shortly." ending the call he looked to his partner "Come on it's show time, twenty or more bodies found in a little hole in the wall bar near the corner of Queen and Lesley. All fae."
Hale let out a slow whistle "Isn't that area in the neutral zone between Dark and Light territories?" he thought out loud, Dyson nodded as the two detectives grabbed their jackets and started towards the door.
"Wait, I need to come with you." said Bo as she got up and started putting on her own jacket.
Hale and Dyson paused and looked at each other, Hale shrugged his shoulders as they both turned towards the advancing succubus "I don't know if this is a good idea Bo. This doesn't sound like the type of thing you'd be interested in." said Dyson.
"Please Dyson. I really feel like I need to do this. I promise I'll stay out of trouble." pleaded Bo as she batted her eyes.
"You promise eh?" Dyson chuckled "Why is it I don't feel particularly reassured by the that?" he shook his head earning him a punch in the shoulder from the succubus. "All right let's go" the three of them headed out the door.
