Re: mysteria

After he paid and left I sat down across from Terra.
"I had a vision, of," I bite my lip adn glance making sur the young man was gone. "of him, if he will be father of my first child, regardless of whether he joins tribe or not. If he doens't join tribe and I don't," i stop in my sentence fingers trembling, "be with him then i will have no children." I lay out the vision before her looking for guidance and hope

I lower my eyelids.

"Then you must convince him to leave the comfortable life of the noble. He will become miserable there. That is what the cards say. It will become to a point you can no longer reach him. Now is the only time, while he is questioning. Otherwise he will block all outside influence.

Remember his question was: "Yes..." He forced himself to say. "Yes, I... I want to know what is to become of me if I stay in this town... As my parents expect... Want of me..."

and the final answer was: The outcome of your endeavors (ten of wands) will become oppression. Your stubbornness will become a burden......be wary as the intrigue will lead to dire difficulties

If he stays, he will be miserable all his young and old life.

mysti

I bite my lower lip and nod. I had only half listened to his reading as I was too wound up in my own personal vision.

"I can only try," I glance around tent, "I just don't know if I can convince him, and if I don't can I," I stutter hand lying over abdomen. "I," i look into terra's eyes and she asks if it's right time to create a child. I nod and sigh.
she tells me that i must try for both our sakes.

The rest of day passes with a blur, I don't see woman from bakery and hope she comes by tomorrow.

It's time for dancing to begin and I shed my black garments stripping down to my gauzy undergarments. feeling too forward I pull a veil across my face and make my way to the square. A young gypsy boy follows playing music for me as I dance and collecting coins. I see him and my heart constricts. I must, but at what cost I think, as men grow drunker I nod to boy telling him to go back to camp as I approach the stranger. dancing close to him making others think he paid for my services as they disperse heading to other taverns. i see that fear and hunger in his eyes. A hunger i hadn't seen in long time and I whisper if he has a room we can go to.....

Thomas:

Surprised by Mysti's forwardness but not put off by it Thomas smiled. "I can get us a room at an inn..." He said, hardly believing his own bold reply. "But I know of none that the proprieters would not know me..." he added, his old conflictions all to quickly surfacing once more. He realised that what he said sounded far too much like an insult, instantly regretting his words. "I...I'm sorry..." he said.

 

[intriguess]

Mysti

i flinched at he practically said he didn't want to be seen with me. I steel my spine and murmur, "it's a beautiful night we could sleep beneath the stars." i shiver as i force my fingers to run up under his shirt my veil hiding my features my eyes staring into his.

"I know a beautiful spot." i lead him to outskirts and lay down on the grass. he lays hesitantly beside me. i shiver as night is cold now that i'm not moving.

"I need to speak with you," i begin wanting to know of his choice before I make mine. "Will you be staying here?" i softly ask so quiet he barely hears it. one hand rests on my bare abdomen thinking of my future. will the child be a boy or girl. Will he/she have my coloring and his height? The thought of children makes me think of my own father.

I blink thinking i had missed his answer but he was struggling with the words.

I was about to step out of the crowd toward the gypsy tent when I spotted Thomas. I wondered what he was asking about, and for some reason I didn't want him to see me there, even though he was there himself. I turned and began wandering the streets.

 

[Guest]

IC: Concerned for my little Mysti, I address the cards with my own question.

"What is to become of my little one?"

here is the lay out:
http://www2.dgsys.com/~bunning/ccross.jpg

First card: The present, questioner, theme, starting point.
is The Lovers
Second card: The momentary obstacles, problems, distractions
The cross card is Prince of Wands
Third card: Motivation or reason to ask the question (probably unknown) Two of Cups
Fourth card: the past, decreasing influences The Hermit
Fifth: Potential, chances, upside down is Five of Cups
Sixth: Future, increasing influences is Queen of Wands

Seventh card: The person of the questioner, previously unknown aspects is: The Sun
Eighth card: Surroundings of the questioner; how others perceive them: Judgement
Ninth card: The hopes and fears of the questioner is King of Wands
Tenth card: a summary or an aspect that will become meaningful. Ace of Wands

Interpretation:

The lovers meaning union, love is crossed by the obstacle, Prince of Wands, meaning strong, righteous, noble humorous. My motivation is Two of Cups, my desire to see unrequited love. Past influences, The Hermit, seclusion, solitude, wisdom. Potential, upside down 5 of Cups, the discovery of inner resources. A future influence, the Queen of Wands, honorable, energiectic, kind.
Previously unknown aspects, the Sun, Light, openness, completion, and warmth. How other perceive me?Judgement, meaningful breakthrough, transformation, My hopes and fears-King of Wands, Vivid, strong will, looking for adventures...summary? Ace of Wands, Origin, beginning, birth.

It was clear that no matter which way things would go, it would mean a new beginning for my dear Mysti.....the noble hold was strong upon the young man that caught her fancy. She'd become secluded, finding inner resources in that seclusion. Whatever her actions they would be honorable, energetic, and kind. Her previous openess and completion would come to pass, and my own fears would mean a breakthrough for her. Overall, there was strong promise of a new beginning. I welcomed this, no matter how it should be obtained.

Thomas:

Knowing what she ment immediatly but not sure why it mattered to her he said. "I must admit something to you... I have been coming to the edge of your people's camp for these past few nights... I have seen the freedom with which you live... And I have found that I desire that sort of freedom. But, my father expects me to take over his buissness in a years time... I find no real pleasure in it and when I told my father this he replied "I have secured a future for you boy, now you must take it up as your cross to bare!"" Thomas said, changing his voice into a charactature of his fathers. He had ment for the imitation of his father to be a joke but that imitation was so acurate to his ear that he could only turn his head away and frown.

 

[Guest]

As I finished my personal inquiry, I saw a young woman about to approach, and then stop as she spotted the young noble. Ah tis a pity, as just a glance of her features she herself had such troublesome worries. I saw a flash of a monstrous man taking taking possession of her as his wife. I shuddered as I remembered in most cultures a daughter was given to the highest bidder.....such a pity she wouldn't come forth.

Finished with the readings of the day, I slowly gather my meager belongings. My heart lay heavy on Mysti, as I knew this to be a final chance of happiness for her. I hoped it would go well for her.

I tromped back to camp, and soon I was playing my guitar with my lover on his bongo's. Hoytus was such a sweet lover, I felt I was almost ready to open up and surrender to him.....but the fear of past pains still held me back....

 

[tighe]

Hi there! Thought I might try this out.

It was evening and the music was beginning. I brought my guitar and sat near Hoytus. Often I played with him and Terra, the woman who was his lover. I had only joined this troupe within the last several months. Time meant nothing to the Gypsy or Rom way of life. It was the gadji, non-gypsies who were always concerned with such things. In every sense of the word, I was a gypsy. I loved the way of life. I was born to a gypsy family in Spain and was sent away to a gadji family by the government in an attempt to "cleanse" the gypsy way of life. When I did escape the peasant family and join the tribe in the mountains, I found my parents had been slaughtered in the gypsy hunts. I wandered from tribe to tribe, selling my musical talents with them until I felt the stirring to be alone again. Soon enough, I would search out another tribe and join them. Martine was all the name I ever told. Although, like all other gypsies, I had the requeset 3 names. The secret one given by my mother, never told as to confuse the evil spirits, Martine, my calling name and the gadgi need for a last name, which was Montoya.

 

[intriguess]

OOC sorry for missing your post euphoria....i hope you'll be back 'tomorrow' for a reading. Moonie...cool my own personal reading...and do you have someone in mind to play hoytas?

IC, I shivered, if he stayed he would be miserable, if I stayed I would be miserable. He seemed unable to make a choice and by doing so remained where he was.

I steeled myself for my next move, I hoped it would be over quickly, then shaking head it would be wrong to use him like that, the least i could do was see he enjoy it.

my fingers landing on his lips to quiet him, i couldn't bring myself to kiss him it was too personal, too intimate and nothing of this night was of intimacy. i kneeled over him letting moon illuminate my silhouette as my fingers arranging my skirts over him, i had deliberately not worn any undergarments this night.

i shivered again as my fingers slide his pants down. "then let me show you the freedom of gypsy's even if it for only one night," my voice was husky with emotion. I only hoped he didn't catch the sorrow, that he only felt desire. I leaned over him letting my dark hair cascade over my shoulders as i softly kissed his neck closing my eyes imagining roberto, i stopped short of saying his name but memory had been enough to arouse me.

i glanced in his confused eyes....what was his anme again? i asked myself, how was i going to explain to my child about his/her father if i couldn't even recalll his name?

OOC ever seen the mailman? it's that sort of conflict, between loving someone who can't give me children and knowing I must sleep with thoms to have children.

OOC: Intriguess, it's the Postman, and actually parts of it were filmed near my home town. (And it was very sickening and annoying to watch nearly everyone in that small town bend over backwards to accomodate them!) ... And I hate it when you roll over and look at the guy laying next to you, and you're thinking, damn it, what was his name again? ~L~ (That makes me sound like I do it a lot huh? It's actually only happened once!)

IC: I wandered through town, I had gone back to the bakery, but my mother said I had worked long enough and that I should go have some fun. In other words, she wanted me to get out there and mingle with the interested men. It was already making me crazy, every time I turned around I was getting my hand kissed and told how lovely I looked. I soon found myself on the outskirts of town, wondering how anyone can be so surrounded by people, and yet feel so alone.

Thomas:

Accepting the warmth and weight of Mysti as she straddled him he turned his eyes to meet hers. She saw the confliction wavering in his features, his desires winning over his fears. His stomach fluttered, having someone so beautiful so close to him was making his spirit soar!
"Can I know your name?" He paused for a moment. "Mine is Thomas Albert Housler." He added as he realised he had yet to share it with her. She had silently pulled his pants free and he felt the brush of her uncovered flesh against his hips. A week ago he would probably have balked at this moment, but that was before the gypsy's had brought him into awareness of his hidden passions. Even though he didn't know the arts of love like some his body knew what was expected and complied readily. He grew a little embarrassed as his cock grew hard against her warmth but the expression on her face, the language of her body quickly banished his embarrassment. His hands were on her waist as he continued to look into her eyes.

 

[intriguess]

Mysteria

Welcome tighe

IC

meanwhile at the gypsy camp two youths had approached, an older gypsy approached them wary, but generous.

"so my two fine fellows, are you lost?" He asked eyeing up the two young men, wondering why they ventured so far from town.



Mysti heard his name and imprinted it my mind. i could feel his arousing brushing my thigh. I blushed under my viel, i was behaving shamelessly. "call me," i paused unable to say my name for moment, "Ria." I say picking last syllable of my name as i slowly moved hips so he ws resting cradled between my lips. i slide forward and back trying to relax as my wetness moved along the shaft.

"no more questions, please?" i half request half ask as i slowly slide his cock inside me reveling at the texture of him. he felt different than roberto. i shut him out of my mind i couldn't let myself get mired in the past. his hands rested on my waist as i moved up and down slowly at first the look on his face puzzled me at first. then i realized he was only child, had lived secluded life, at his age he was probably. my guilt almost overwhelmed as i realized this was his first time. i shiver sliding hand down closing eyes, my hand slips into slit for reaching a purse under my clothes instead feeling his bare skin and mine. i take moment to caress him more needing his seed inside me.

 

[Ravenloft]

Thomas:

"Ria.." Thomas was about to ask her what had made her take him away with her this night but she stopped him from speaking, asking that he not. She was right, he had never had a woman before and the sensation of being taken inside of her sent a rush of pleasure through him. He moaned as he laid his head against the ground, his hands tight around her waist as he experimentally pushed his hips upward. He could have easily lost control of himself, the pleasure was so strong to his virgin spirit, but something kept him from Succumbing. His eyes were back upon her, exploring her just as his hands did.

 

[intriguess]

mysteria

my voice caught in my throat as he met me thrust for thrust. somehow holding out, i was battling between wishing it were over and wondering how long it would last his trembling fingers roaming up my body. i hoped terra could tell me if i was with child r if I had to seek him out again every night we were in town until i was. the thought persisted and i saw our child dancing in the reflection in his eyes. a boy at first with dark curly hair, then a girl with long blonde locks. i let out soft moan as body had betrayed how good it felt to be wanted, the tide of pleasure catching me off my guard completely..... i hold still sitting with him completely incased inside me feeling my body grasp him wanting him.

 

[Ravenloft]

Thomas:

Ria's soft moan, though soft as it was, seemed to ring loudly in Thomas's ear. That little admition of pleasure from her sent him quickly to the edge. He hadn't the will to fight it and she felt him tence, pulling her tightly against him. His head went back to the ground and he moaned from the sudden and intence pleasure of orgasm.

 

[intriguess]

mysteria

"thanks," i huskily murmur burying my face in his neck tears rolling down my face wanting to pull away and unable to leave him at same time. "rest now" i murmur smoothing the hair back from his face gently folling so he's over me feeling his body pressing against me. he looked little surprised and i murmur that he's fine where he is. and move his head to rest on my breasts. i shiver feeling tingle throughout my body glancing up at heavens and wonder what will happen when i leave this place

 

[Ravenloft]

Thomas:

All Thomas could do was hold Ria in his arms, his breath quaking every now and again. He didn't know what to say or what to do so he held her, not wanting to let go, not wanting return to his life. It was nearing midnight, his father would be home, and he had never returned after his reading. He knew he would have to explain to his father where he had been and knew what that would bring...

"Please, can I stay here with you a while longer?" He asked his voice still husky from their coupling.

Terra stumbles into Elizabeth

I soon found myself on the outskirts of town, wondering how anyone can be so surrounded by people, and yet feel so alone.

The music carried on in my absence as i made my excuse, and wandered a bit at the edges of our camp. Visions of a young woman kept flooding my mind, and my heart wasn't into the celebration that night. I needed time to ponder upon these visions, as they usually meant there was someone in dire need.

The cresent moon hung low, as stars flooded the black night. When I came upon her, I had been into my own thoughts too deeply to sense her.

In my stumbling, our hands touched but a moment. In only that one touch, I knew it was her. The woman I'd seen earlier. The one that had not come forward with her question.

"Ah, it tis ye, milady." I bow to her knowingly. "Thou lonliness precedes thee, and thou question still rings loudly throughout these grounds."

Inwardly I curse myself for not sensing her presence. I should have known she'd be here, had I'd been a bit more open. Was to late for remorse, as here she was now, and perhaps I had a chance to warn her of her dangers.

 

[goddess_euphoria]

Elizabeth

I was so lost in my thoughts, I hadn't been paying attention to where I was, when I bumbed into to gypsy woman, I let out a cry. I was quickly soothed by her voice though,

"Ah, it tis ye, milady." I bow to her knowingly. "Thou lonliness precedes thee, and thou question still rings loudly throughout these grounds." Before I had a chance to think, I replied,

"How could you know my question? I'm not even sure myself what it is."

 

[intriguess]

mysteria

his soft question asking to stay caught me off guard, no man had ever left my bed before morning. of course he was a town boy he probably thought it proper to leave now. i was glad veil hid my face. my legs ran up around his waist holding him down to me.

"don't leave me," the words were husky and while painful to admit close ot my heart. i had enjoyed him despite my intentions.

 

[Ravenloft]

Thomas:

Smiling against Ria's neck as he ran his hands along her back lightly. This was very nearly heaven to him. He became aware of the growing, wild pulse of distant music, drifting to his ears from the gypsy camp and knew he could not go back to his own life happily after tonight. He knew that he had to go back though, at least one last time... But could he face his father's dissapointment...

Ria moved against him a little and he put these thoughts out of his mind, nuzzling in against her breast, letting her scent fill his lungs. In surprise he felt himself getting aroused again, he hadn't thought it possible! But.. Why not. He reasoned. There was far too much he had yet to learn about himself, about life... And none of it would come to him in an office. His hands found Ria's hair, and he brought her face to his, letting his lips softly touch hers. It wasn't a deliberate action, more out of passion. Sencing Ria's surprise he pulled away a little and looked into her eyes for her reaction.

 

[intriguess]

mysteria

i was nearing sleep feelnig safe with him against me when his fingers brushed my veil i stirred feeling his arousal again. at first i'm glad the more times the better for creating child, when his lips brushed mine i felt shocked and pulled back. my hand flew to my face and all i could think of was getting away. i blinked, he couldn't have known. i pull my veil back over his face and hiding my expression from him as my fingers danced over shaft, unable to bring myself to feel anything but sexual desire. wanting to simplify this night to passion and nothing more. the kiss had unbalanced me and i changed what he was thinking as my fingers slide along his member

 

[Ravenloft]

Thomas:

As Ria's silky fingers wrapped tightly around his cock Thomas moaned. She kept her face hidden from him, he found that he wanted to see her eyes, know what she was thinking. Her hand worked along his slick shaft, increasingly faster. He felt he could do nothing but breath and experience the pleasure she was rendering within him. "Nnn, Ria." He moaned, wanting to conjure the same pleasure in her as she conjured for him. He felt lost to her carnal knowledge, as though he swam in a vast ocean, millions of miles away from land, not knowing how long he could stay above the water.
