Year of the Succubus (IC)

[SexDemoness666]

(See OOC.)

In her office at the capitol building in New Babylon, Rachel looks out the window as her long red hair flows around her.

She adjusts the black dress she's wearing, clothing had never made her very comfortable, but during work hours, she wore them to make herself look more like the world leader, and not a whore.

She looks down at the people walking down the streets of the great city, and smiles. 'So naive, so easily corruptable, Lucifer will be most pleased when I take this world for him,' she thinks.

"Thanks, Mrs. Brunner," Dessy said, handing the old woman her package. "And have a great day." She closed the cash register and sighed. She leaned against the counter, chin on hand, and began to daydream about her up coming date with Chad. He was taking her to some rally downtown. She didn't really understand what it was about, but as long as she was with him, she would be in heaven.

She looked up at the clock, 3pm, only two hours til she could close and go get ready for her date. She pushed her blonde hair behind her ears and smiled. She sure hoped Chad liked the new mini skirt she bought for tonight.

Jordan waited a full minute before he finally pushed the can of tuna far enough into the check stand that it actually beeped. The price came up as 39 cents. He smiled, seeing her come back into the world.

"You were lost in your own little world there, Dessy."

And there she was. He saw her now, those wonderful eyes come to register him once more. She looked wonderful, he had to tear away his gaze to put the rest of his groceries into the stand.

It looked like his typical heft of groceries. Tuna and bread, eggs and sausage, a couple of frozen dinners. Nothing big, nothing special. One could tell this was a man who rarely went shopping, just a bachelor living on his own.

"I... uh, was it important?" He bit his lower lip, looking around the small store. No one else was here, the store empty except for just the two of them. He sighed once, leaning against the side of the counter.

"What you were thinking about... I mean. Was it something important?"

Dessy Chambers

Dessy heard the registar beep and jumped slightly. "Oh, sorry Mr. Knight."
She blushed slightly as she rang up his groceries. "I've got a first date tonight," she shrugged, "you know how it is."

Dessy shook her head as she bagged the groceries. "You know, you buy the same stuff every week, and every week I think I should just offer to come over and cook you a real meal."

 

[SexDemoness666]

The door to the shop opens, and Rachel walks inside.

She could easily have someone go and pick up groceries for her, but she would rather try and show herself as a normal human being, than the world leader.

She gives a nod to Dessy and Jordan, before going to get her stuff.

 

[poohlive]

"A home cooked meal?" The thought intrigued him. It really did, something other than microwaved or canned dinners. He would love something freshly made.

"I would love to take you up on that some time," He said, seeing someone else come into the store. He smiled, friendly as he could. He didn't know her, but she looked pleasent enough.

"Your first date? That sounds wonderful Dessy. Just make sure he treats you right. Would hate for something to happen to you."

So young and so filled with life. She didn't deserve anything like that.

Dessy Chambers

Dessy smiled as the woman entered the shop. She turned back to Mr. Knight and laughed. "Oh, no, Mr. Knight, not MY first date. Just my first date with this guy. I may be young and innocent, but not quite than innocent." She winked at him. "We are going to some political rally, don't really know anything about it. I just said yes because he finally asked."

She finished loading his groceries and shook her head again, "And I'm really serious about that home cooked meal. You just don't eat right. I would think as a scientist you would know better."

 

[Metaldrummer76]

James walked in wearing a tight white tank top, which showcased off his perfect build beautifully, and some camoflage pants. His hair was spiked as usual and his ice blue eyes were covered by dark sunglasses.



He walked over and got in line behind the man who was at the register and removed his sunglasses.

 

[poohlive]

"I may have conquered the periodic table, but I'm afraid the kitchen still frightens me."

He paused, taking a small pad out of his pocket, writing down both his address and number.

"I would love a home cooked meal. Maybe if that date of yours doesn't work out."

He handed the paper to her, nodding towards the man, and was about to leave when the woman who had walked in earlier caught his eyes. It was weird, strange to see someone like her, so dashing, so beautiful and yet so distant.

He had never seen her before in his life.

He made his way over, even with his bag of groceries.

"My name is Jordan," He said, watching her eye a piece of fruit as if it were the most important thing in the world at that moment. A brief exchange of both looks and intent.

"I just wanted to say hello... I... I don't know why. You look radiant though, simply fascinating."

 

[SexDemoness666]

"Rachel," the woman says with a smile.

 

[poohlive]

"Rachel..." Rachel. It was a good name, a noble name. He remembered it from the bible, wasn't it? Most names came from the bible. It seemed to make sense. Even his own, Jordan, originated from there.

She had a beauty he could not deny. It was as if looking at a creation of art, and not simply a woman. His eyes fell over her, draped just like her own clothing. He felt ashamed for staring so openly, so brazenly, but in the same tone he could not pull himself away. It would hurt, like trying to pull away from a glass of water when one is deep with the thirst.

That was it. He thirsted for her, and drank her up as much as possible.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Rachel. My name is Jordan."

He'd already said that, hadn't he? He didn't remember, it was like trying to remember the chemical bond of granulated sugar. His mind knew where it was, how to do it, but it just came up a blank. It had been replaced by this perfect image of a woman... Rachel.


"I'm sorry, you must think of me as some weird pervert or something. Please, continue your shopping. I assure you, I'm harmless I just..."

He just wanted to come and stare at her, and wish he could touch her, that's all. Jordan sighed, not even sure how to finish such a sentence.

"I'm sorry," He blushed.

 

[SexDemoness666]

Rachel laughs a little. "Its okay, I'm used to it," she says. "Most men gawk at me anyway. If you ever want to hook up, here's my number," she says, taking out a card with her home, cell, and office phone number, hands it to Jordan, and walks off to finish her shoping.

 

[Metaldrummer76]

James moved up to the counter and took off his sun glasses.

" I need a pack of smokes beautiful, Camel menthol wides." he said and looked over towards the fruit. He spotted Rachel, " Whoa, That lady looks really familiar" He thought to himself. He waited for the cashier to hand him his cigarettes, while he continued watching rachel....something about her.......It reminded him of something.

 

[poohlive]

He found it soo hard to tear away from her. Even after she strolled down the aisle, as if strolling down some summer lane in the early evening, he still remained in the place. Her smell lingered, it flirted with him just long enough to feel those butterflies in his stomache go up once more.

He left the store with a smile on his face, uncertain what had just happened. She had given him her card, and wanted to hook up. Is that what they called it these days, hooking up?

She would never hook up with him, perhaps it was just a nice way of getting rid of some weird guy. What had he been thinking, trying to come up to her when she was buying groceries. He must had sounded like some sort of pervert right there in the store.

He went back home, putting away what little food he had bought, already uninterested in it. His eyes were on the card she gave him. He set it down on the counter.

Was it some fake card, with fake numbers? Did she give it to him to make him go away? She smelled so good, she looked so good. She could have any man she wanted, any man in the world.

And she wanted to hook up with him? She had said that. Those were the words that entered her mouth. She wanted to hook up.

He picked up the phone, dialed all but the last number, and then hung up. He did it several more times, never quite making it to the end. Sometimes he would hang up after the area code, others he even made it to the end, but never pressed the send button, only the off button.

What was he doing?

Even if she did give him her number, he would call her while she's still in the store? If he didn't act like some sort of weird pervert before, calling her ten minutes after she gave him her card certainly would do so.

And then he could never hook up with her.

He put the card inthe freezer, along with his microwavable dinners. He didn't know why, it just felt safer in there.

Sighing, he picked up a dog eared novel, trying to read. It became impossible, in the end all he could do was go over the same sentence again and again, unable to understand it. By the time he came to the second part, he had forgotten what the first part was all about, and continued in some weird loop.

What had she done to him?

 

[autumnmist]

Dessy Chambers

Dessy slipped Mr. Knight's phone number into her pocket, as she turned to get the new customer his cigerettes. She stared into his eyes. They were the most intense shade of blue she had ever seen. "Here you go," she said, still unable to look away.

 

[SexDemoness666]

A little while later, Rachel, who apparently had caller ID, calls up Jordan.

 

[Metaldrummer76]

James stood ther handing her the money, and Smiled " Im Told I have beautiful eyes, Would you agree?" he said

Alec

Dr. Alec Lanier wrapped up his last class of the day, ogling several 20 something girls taking his course. While he had some success with women since his divorce, it wasn't enough to alter some of his bitterness over how they have treated him for most of his life. Hell hath no fury like a nerd scorned, he thought. He would one day make those vain women regret the day that they ridiculed and rejected him. One day, whomever the Leader was would notice his commitment to the New World Order and reward him.

It was odd that no one had seen the mysterious Leader's face, or even knew the Leader's sex or race, but he was convinced that someone so decisive and level-headed was vastly superior to parochial politicians who curried favor with religious nutcases. He was tired of people coddling organized religion. His own experience with the Church gave him a jaundiced view of it, starting from his days in a Catholic school and his physical abuse by nuns. Perhaps his anger toward women started there. No doubt Freud would have claimed that.

He laughed as he saw some preacher on TV call the new Leader the Antichrist. To him, that would have been a compliment. There were times that he felt that the Satanists had a point. Wearing the Mark of the Beast would be a small price to pay for a leader with some actual courage and vision.

 

[poohlive]

It was a rare sound that he heard, the phone ringing. In his absence of life inside the hussle and bustle, retirement, he had only gotten half a dozen calls or so a month.

It felt weird inside such a quiet house. No radio, no television, just that peace that came from isolation. The phone crashed through it with each ring.

Jordan furrowed his brow, picking up the receiver. He saw the caller I.D. knowing who it was immediately. No. No, he hadn't called her, why did she call him? Maybe it did go through, was there a single call. She had that return call, something to use to call him back.

What was he going to tell her?

"Hi," He said, trying to sound as nice and friendly and normal as possible. Normal? She was probably still shopping, wondering why this number was even in her phone.

"Ummm, I'm sorry, Rachel. I was... umm, just trying to put your number into my phone. Looks like I called you by mistake."

Was that a good enough excuse, did it make sense? He hoped so, he hoped he didn't sound nervous or weird or psychotic.

 

[SexDemoness666]

"Its okay, other than my secretary trying to get answers out of me about you, no harm done," Rachel says. "I would really love to go out with you sometime, though my sechdule is a little, shall we say, full."

 

[poohlive]

"Full?" She had a secretary, and a life. How wonderful for her. She did look a little young, not too young, not enough where he would feel awkward dating her, but young in and of itself.

He supposed that would make him old, well, he had to accept it sooner or later.

"Well, I retired early myself. Plenty of money, and lots of free time. So... just tell me when you are free and maybe we can make something happen."

 

[autumnmist]

Dessy Chambers

James stood ther handing her the money, and Smiled " Im Told I have beautiful eyes, Would you agree?" he said

"Oh, I'm so sorry," Dessy stamered, "I didn't mean to stare." She fumbled with the money he had given her, almost dropping the change as she handed it back to him, purposely avoiding his eyes.

She just had to look up and smile, "But yes, they are the most gorgeous eyes i have ever seen."

 

[Metaldrummer76]

James looked into her eyes and smiled. " Oh, Its ok, dont be sorry, Thanks for the complement" he said nicely taking his cigarettes and His money. "thanks......oh hey.....by the way, you are quite beautiful yourself" he added smiling and looking her in the eyes

 

[autumnmist]

Dessy Chambers

Dessy blushed. She couldn't believe it. This guy was so god damned sexy, and he couldn't be more than a couple of years older than she was. "Thanks," she stammered, "My name is Dessy. I do hope to see you here again."

 

[Metaldrummer76]

James then took out a pen and wrote his cell number down, and signed his name. " Oh Ill be seeing you around sweetheart" he said nicely while smiling. " Oh my name is james By the way" he added before turning to the door.
