Outing: Ash and Smoke

Satora Razza

~The tires spun out on the SUV as we turned and stopped on the gravel road. As I got out I could smell the ash and smoke belonging to the smoldering fires of the extremely non-existent compound.~ Mother fucker ~The curse long and slow as it slips out between my lips. I stoop to pick up a few of the rocks on the ground and sling them into the mess that appears before us. Turning, I shake my head at Dia.~ All the humans were set free. Nothing is salvageable from the property. I'm still combing through the security feeds. But it's shitty reception out here, even with the sat boost I'm not sure of what we'll get. Other than confirmation it was The Order

  Dia Rivera *His lips tighten across his teeth as he looked around the ruined compound. He didn't need to see the surveillance video to know that it was Thorne's warriors.* This was Thorne's doing. * Turning on his heels he heads toward the smoldering heap of twisted charred metal that had once been the hanger. He and Satora pulled back the blacken metal revealing the charred bodies of his men.* Incompetent pieces of shits. *Looking around* Do we know what happened to our special guest?
• Satora Razza ~I shake my head in response to Dia's question concerning the JUSTIS officials. We walk in silence around the perimeter of the building continuing our survey of the damage. Opening my breed senses up I could smell something beyond chemical traces of C4 and burnt bodies, it was piss. Tapping Dia's shoulder, I tick my head to the side and indicate a set of smoked bushes about 50 yards away. With a nod, I quietly run in an arc so I can gain access behind the bushes. The two JUSTIS males cower there together, hugging each other like a burnt pair of lovers, smoke and soot covering them, their clothes ragged from being blown away in the blast. One has open wounds and the blood makes my fangs punch through and my eyes glow bright.~ Well, look what I found. ~Raising them both off the ground by their necks with my hands, I hold them up for Dia to see.~ What should we do, boss?
• Dia Rivera *Cocking his head to the side he looks with disgust at the frighten males.* Oh I don't know Satora. I think we need to let these fine examples of JUSTIS officers explain to us what happened here tonight, and why they have lived to tell about it. *Both of the officers started to speak at once in a desperate attempt to tell of the Orders raid. Becoming irritated he roared and in one swift move he buried his hand in one of the males chest. The Breed's body tensed then convulsed as his heart was ripped out. His second tossed the limp body to the side. Holding the warm heart in his hand he stepped in front of the the other male who gasped in shocked.* I really don't care to hear the details. *Placing the organ in the trembling males hand* But you my man are going to go back to JUSTIS headquarters and hand your friends heart to your superiors and convince them that this is the work of a rogue warrior of Thorne's.
• Satora Razza ~There was nothing quite like the sound of a heart being withdrawn from a chest. The cracking of bone and then the extraction that sounds like a rude patron slurping up soup at a restaurant. The JUSTIS official whimpered in front of Dia as he found his footing on the ground. I watched as the heart contracted one last time in his hands as his bloody fingers slipped trying to get a grip on it. As his fingers tightened around it, he squished the muscle in his hands, I shivered with delight as my stomach let out a hungry growl.~ That's your cue to run. ~I give him a wink and hear Dia laugh. We watch as he stumbles towards the former entrance before continuing our walk around the ruined building.~

  
  

Outing: Bathing Lilly - Aric-Kade-Rafe

Aric Chase

*having spent a fortune bribing Kade and Rafe to help him, the time had come. THE WORST DARE yet. Gabrielle had this...horse. His nickname for it is Cujo but Rafe didn't know that and he wasn't about to warn him. He sent out a text to each of them as he headed for the kitchen. Txt: dudes, meet me in the stables, IT'S TIME. Bring a cup. Snd. He stuffed his pockets with carrots, sugar cubes, and sliced apple, hoping they would be enough and headed for the stables with dread in his step*

• 
  

  Kade Maguire *Kissing Alexandra goodbye, as it might be the last time he ever saw her again, he strapped on some shin guards, a cup, and a helmet as he prepared himself for the epic battle that was about to be waged. Aric had really got himself into a doozy with this one and had somehow manage to rope Rafeinto the mix. God help that youngster cause the devil was dirty and even the tears of Jesus couldn't save them now*

  Rafe Malebranche *I sighed putting on my oldest, rattiest clothes, and growled, realized that even those were too good to wash that horse in. I stopped by the kitchen, and grabbed a bag of apples, knowing they'd help and headed to the stable. Seeing Kade's get up, I wondered why I hadn't thought of a helmet* Okay boys, lets get this done. *setting down the apples, I grabbed a bucket to fill it wit| water*

  
  
• 
  

  Aric Chase *he couldn't help but snort seeing Kade walk out in full protective gear.* Well, at least you won't get too hurt...unless she decides to eat the gear.*Rafe joined them with a bag of apples and a bucket* Bro, between you and me this horse doesn't stand a chance. *holding his pockets open to show the stash he had* Kade, why don't you find her fufu shampoo and whatever the hell else we are going to need for this while I try to lasso my buddy here.* He grabs her lead and slowly enters her area. She stomps her foot and rolls her eyes* Easy darlin', it's just little old me.*He palms a sugar cube from his pocket and held it out to her* Have a little sugar baby, you know you want to...

  Kade Maguire *Grumbles while ambling down the hallway towards the shower stall* I'll show you a damn Fufu *kicking over a bucket on accident as he turned the corner to ready the cleaning gear* Oh Shit… *Quickly picking the bucket back up, he moved as fast as he could to refill the soapy water so it'd be ready for the dirt monger by the time Champ got her closer* Fuck, how much soap does she need? *he snorted* She is pretty dirty *he snorted again as he dumped an entire bottle of Dawn Dish Soap into the bucket* That's what she said

  Rafe Malebranche *Lily lipped up the sugar Aric held out, eating it fast, then snorted, pawing the ground. It was obvious she wasn't in the mood for this, so I started singing under my breath* The Itsy bitsy spider went up the nag's leg.... Little did she know that it was the devil.... *Aric glanced at me and I just grinned. Lily had seemed to calm a bit so I shrugged* Hey..... it's working. *i kept singing as we got her out of the stall and towards the shower stall and Kade*

  
  
• 
  

  Aric Chase *He snorts at Rafe singing about spiders but she wasn't trying to eat anyone, yet, so he let it slide. Hooking the lead to her halter, he led her out of her stall and turned her in the direction of Kade. He burst out laughing as he sees Kade directing them like planes coming in for a landing. Lilly shook her head and shied away, pulling the lead through his hand* Oh shit Bro. look out, it's headed your way!

  Kade Maguire *Seeing the jumpy mare bolting in his direction, only one thing was going through his mind* no no no no nO nO nO nO NO NO NO No NONONONONONONONONONONOOOOOOO *Squeezing his eyes shut as she slide to a stop directly in front of him blocking her path, her shoes kicking up sparks from friction on the concrete floor* Holy FUCK *finally daring to breathe, he quickly grabbed her rope and walked her at a sketchy trot into the shower stall, cross-tying her to the sides while giving a short growl to Rafe* Where the hell were you on that one, Sinatra?

  Rafe Malebranche *I went red and mumbled under my breath* I paniced... I'll do better this time. *I grabbed a sponge and dunked it into the soapy water* Old ManLucan had a farm.... E I E I O..... and on that farm he had a horse..... E I E I O.... To bad he never knew the Horse was insane..... E I E I O *I managed to get close enough to Lilly to get the wet sponge to her hide when she shook her head, whinnying loudly and she trying to stomp her feet. I jumped back, the sponge flying from my grip and hitting Aric square in the chest, bubbles flying everywhere.* Damn..... we're not going to survive this.

  
  
• 
  

  Aric Chase *As Rafe is singing about old man Lucan, Kade was trying to maneuver his way around the other side of Cujo but she was having none of it. Just as Kade got into position between the horse and the wall, Rafe slaps the sponge down on her back and all hell breaks loose. Lilly stomps her foot, Kadescreamed like someone had gutted him, and he managed, somehow, to end up with a soaking wet sponge running rivlet races down his chest and tiny bubbles in his face, on his eyelashes, and up his nose. Snorting out the bubbles as best he could without sending the damn hourse into another melt down, he grabbed the lead and yanked down on it hard* Whoa!

  Kade Maguire *Doing everything he could to catch his breath, he felt his heart pounding in his chest, counted all ten fingers and checked his pants for any extra weight* Fuckin A, Rafe, you're gonna get us all killed like that. Easy does it, Kid. *Gently running a hand-mitt of sudsy water over the hocks of the Devil, he tried to think calmly in hopes of conveying a sense of tranquility to the atmosphere* Hey guys…. *Making a face at the sight that was building before him* Ummm …. I think something is wrong *Lilly snorted and started pacing sideways in her halter, but he cold barely see her* Yup, now I'm sure something is wrong *He moved to the front of the stall and looked into the wall of suds oozing from the space* …. Very very very wrong….. Guys *he poked his head through the suds* you hear me in there? *opening his eyes he found himself face to face with the bubble version of Stay Puff* DUDE……. RUN! *Choking mercilessly on bubbles as he blindly reached around for Rafe and Aric*

  Rafe Malebranche *I tried not to panic, but that was an epic fail. Bubbles were flying everywhere, filling my ears and stinging my eyes. Why the hell Didn't I grab goggles? I felt around for the latch to the stall and threw it open. Feeling around I grabbed Aric and Kade and pulled them out of the stall, and away from Cujo* Fuck.... how much soap did you put in there?

  
  
• 
  

  Aric Chase *There were bubbles everywhere, and they were still rising.*Holy hell, we've lost Cujo! *Turning back to see a wall of white expanding in their direction. They could hear the horse trying to pull herself free, stomping and whinnying could be heard behind the soap. Suddenly they hear a snap and a scuffling of hooves*Oh shit, she is free, LOOK OUT!

  
  
• 
  

  Kade Maguire *Watching as the chaos unfolds, he slowly shook his head* So… this is how it's going to end….. *glancing to the side real quick as something red caught his eye, he growled with renewed hope when he realized what it was and immediately ran towards it while shouting orders to the other two* Champ, quick, lock down the stable doors, I want NO WAY OUT for this bubbly bitch. Rafe, buddy, son, kid, friend, if you've ever wanted to be a hero, spark up those voice pipes and croon like a mother fucker. I got a plan

  Rafe Malebranche *I stood in horror for a moment as Cujo went nuts. It took a minute for Kade's words to sink in and I nodded, but didn't really have a clue what to sing. Taking a step out to the side, and clearing my throat, that huge mass of bubbles hopping around on four legs aimed for the stable doors, tossing bits of foam everywhere. I took a couple of tentative steps towards Cujo, a hand out to see if I could touch her and started singing* Hush little Baby, don't you cry, Papa's gonna buy you a mocking bird. .

  
  
• 
  

  Aric Chase *He bolts for the doors with Cujo on his heels. Bubbles are flying, Kade is who knows where and Rafe is trying to sign his own death warrant by actually trying to touch the crazy filly.* DO NOT TOUCH THE HORSE!* He yells as he slams one of the doors, reaching for the other* Dude, I can feel her breathing down my neck.*Too nervous to turn around, he starts to pull the second door closed but he could actually feel her breath on his neck. He turned his head slightly, catching a big brown rolling eye just before her teeth snapped shut right next to his face. He ducked* Sing louder Bro! He joined in on the chorus, hoping this wouldn't be the last words out of his mouth* Easy little Cujo, don't kill me. Kade has a special treat, just for you. Please go find him...

  Kade Maguire *Sliding to a stop against the barn wall, he quickly dug through his pockets for a lighter. Once he found it, he jumped up on top of Lilly's tack box and held the flame directly under the fire sprinklers, successfully sending every single one in the barn into a half globe fountain of water* Yeeeaaaaahhhhhh Buuuddddyyyyy *Turning and dropping to one knee with his fist in the air, he sang with victory at the top of his lungs as the disastrous side began to wash away down the barn drains* IIIIIIIIIIIII Wanna knooooowwwwww, have you evvvveeerrrr ssseeeennnnnnn the raaaaaaiiinnnnn

  Rafe Malebranche *I blinked as the sprinkler system went off, drenching us all as the water washed the suds away. I looked at Aric, both of us shocked then we both burst out laughing. I shook my head, wiping the suds from my head and grinned at Kade* Damn...... why didn't we think of doing that earlier???? *Cujo had seemed to settle a bit, the cold water shocking her out of whatever emotions flooded her system* So how the hell are we going to get her back into her stall?? I sure as hell ain't going to dry her off.

  
  
• 
  

  Aric Chase *As the sprinklers continue to pour down on us I look back and forth between Kade and Rafe* Well, we can't leave her wet, Aunt Gabby will kill us. Kade, Kade *Whistling to get his attention* Dude, do you know how to shut these damn things off? *He grabs what's left of the lead that was still attached to the halter and leads a slightly less than willing Cujo away from the piles of suds whileRafe walked next to her singing his heart out to her. Kade grabs the hose and quickly rinsed her off. He slowly lead her back into her stall and the three of them made short work of drying her quickly while she finished off the rest of the snacksRafe and he had supplied for her.*
