POOF! I'm here. What are your other two wishes?


Description
My First Post of Alter-Egos on Menewsha
(I see the mistakes now in it, but I still like.)

Blæc Sunu fixed the sash just right so that, despite the plaid design, the dull and dark blue shades of it, combined with the flat, creaseless body, would be more of an accent than a feature to his apparel. Over it was the male version of a buttonless dress-suit, clinging close but flared enough at the bottom to give him a waist. It was a soft shade of black, joined by a pair of similar pants. The sleeves and the legs pulled tighter than what most men preferred, but it did not mold to him, giving him the appearance of being taller than five-eleven and thinner, save at the shoulders. Beneath it was a tucked-in, button-up, collared shirt made of material just shy of combating velvet for faintest shimmer of light. He was a standing, stretched shadow.

For all that his clothes tried to mimic, his fuliginic hair made them pale in shame. It was so empty of color that it inked unreally from his skull like a bad dye-job. He might have gotten away with it better had his skin grown into his age. Instead it was as white as the day he came out of the womb, but at least the pearlescent qualities gave him more character. His head was trimmed neatly, along with what little facial hair he had, obsessively proper and not a strand out of place. It matched the other carved features; some of them forced in ways even he would have avoided had he the choice, but all Indian.

His nose had once had a bump on the bridge, but, to remove all flaws in pursuit of advancement, his mother had had broken and remolded. He thanked God that that had been her only issue with his looks that she could change without killing him; she did not like his Adam’s apple either. His jaw curved smoothly toward his chin and angled up tidily for his cheeks, following that perfect profile that fit the golden ratio. Dark cyan, like turquoise, scanned over each particle just to be sure and he even pulled out a pair of scissors when he perceived a wild hair at his temple. Without anyone around, he did not try to hide the piercing glare he could so easily wear. His only soft feature were his lips, short in length but compensating by their plumpness.

He walked from the mirror into the entryway of his home and pulled an Italian hat from off the holder, flipping it onto his head and slipping on yet another raven garment, a jacket, before he was out the door. While someone might question why he emulated the Mafia out of respect, many were not aware of just how much they helped the community as compared to the corrupt police of the day and drunken husbands who used their wives as punching bags. If he had to be involved in crime, then he would play the part in his own way. This was his territory and, after arguing with his mother for many years, he came to the conclusion that he was doing the same as any other politician. He just did not pretend that he was voted in, and, unlike them and his mother, he did want to use it for good and avoided using force on those that did not initiated it.

Thanks to those principles and his respect of those Mediterranean gangsters, he had managed to create a business that took up a whole block of the city. After first building his hidden empire with Mommy’s help, he had purchased a restaurant, remodeling into his favorite cuisine. Take a guess what that was. He hired true Italian cooks and those with the same love of its qualities, if from a different base perspective, and eventually expanded by buying up neighboring areas. It would have been less expensive to just go for other parts of the city, but he wanted to make a point. He waited for either one of those that sold him the land to go to the government claiming he had stolen it by not going through the appropriate channels or for a police officer to question why he was not paying taxes.

Both happened, as a matter of fact. Landing him in a lawsuit where the accuser mysteriously disappeared, an ignorant man who had assumed that Blæc, younger than his sixteen years now, would be a pushover. Oh, yeah, did he mention he had been emancipated at fourteen? That’s another story for his first business. In any case, with no evidence of foul play and Blæc revealing the deed, they did not accuse the young teen of murder, but they did demand protection money: taxes. They never saw a cent, and those that tried were either convinced not to trouble Blæc by other officers under his hand or convinced to join in, but if they messed up, they better pray the boys in blue arrested them.

Blæc was not innocent, though he did have standards, and, contrary to causing fear in the community, it widely accepted him. Those that disturbed society, whether in the eyes of the government or of the people, found themselves missing. The lack of evidence was enough to terrify enemies, because the stories just grew into lives of their own to credit him far more than even his mother deserved. However, there were times where criminals attempted to use his doctrine against him. With no family—something the Mafia had held highly and would find unusual not to have—they targeted friendly acquaintances and employees, knowing he would not retaliate in the same, but he did retaliate. Even if he lost people, threats were disposed off.

He greeted everyone he came in contact with even before he made it to work, pulling up fashioned, dark brows to soften his eyes and smiling so that as much teeth showed as possible so that it was clear he was smiling. That extra effort always paid off, but he always had to massage his cheeks after that Ken-smile. He had always speculated that those that appeared before large crowds did so to prevent any other expressions. It also assisted in preventing the wearer from running away, afraid, but perhaps that was just in Blæc’s head, among many things.

It was too early for his second job, a reputable one regarding food, but, in the light of day, he started on his primary. He made it into the kitchen and crossed his arms, leaning a buttock against the counter as his messengers reported anything pertinent or suspicious. Aside from some unlikely insurgents and, of course, backstabbing, he was not worried. Oh, and his garden needed more watering. It added a touch of quaintness and relaxation to the restaurant, and also allowed everything to be fresh.

With that, he dismissed them, relaxing his arms. While he now shared his mother’s need for power, he still had some stage-fright and, if it started getting the better of him, his skin would flush an unruly color of red. He took a deep breath and brushed out the nailprints on his sleeves. His mother had taught him how to control himself, but only so much. It was one of those I-taught-you-everything-you-know-but-not-everything-I-know situations. She could use it against him as easily as heat melted butter on an iron pan.

The rest of the day happened at its own lackadaisical pace, until dinner, and the hectic hustle and bustle took over. Waiters and waitresses ran everywhere in every direction at once, from out of the kitchen, to the dining areas in and out of the building. They showed balances acts that could rival highwire acrobats and memory close to eidetic. Thanks to mother’s previous lifestyles, they had six-course meals that cost like that of one meal or buffets of other restaurants. Imagine, prices dropping without having to pay taxes. Needless to say, all visitors were thankful.

Blæc was always one of them, but even he liked to try different styles every now and then, so specialty orders were accepted. Most chefs knew more than just Italian and it cost almost as little as the regular menu meals. Unlike the rest of the guests, he sat in the most secure corner of the building, viewing all the movement and memorizing faces. It helped to be as observant as any detective in his choice of career. It was a bit disconcerting though that he was alone in a large, cushy booth. Funny that, though he wanted company, the one he knew was coming he could have done without.


Personality
Cooperation
This is a team effort, and I try to give a teammate's effort and relationship.  If there is a clash of certain things, then I don't mind working them out or explaining myself, so that there is an understanding.  I have noticed that my romance RPs do better with the author playing the woman also having the main plot.  Otherwise, intertwining and switching from one author's planned situations to the other's and to the other's kept the story fun and alive.

Lines/Limits
Unfortunately, I can make people uncomfortable with some of the persons I create, but I really don't think I am straying from fundamental standards.  Personally, I don't do naturally non-adult, non-human, non-heterosexual, non-consensual romance scenes WITH OTHER PEOPLE, though I do have characters who disagree with me, even if I will neither pair them with anyone's character nor describe outright their activities.   I realize there are people out there with different opinions, so don't be alarmed by me playing anything from the most mentally-disturbed murderer to an innocent infant.


Equipment / Abilities
Abilities
I love great descriptions, emotionally-affecting the other author(s), plots, mystery, twists, turns, genre overlapping and world creation, and aim to do those things.  I can lead or follow or strand right beside you in making an RP.  I want both of us to have fun with it, so that both of us return for more.

Equipment
Aside from all that, I can draw and I have PhotoShop...somewhere.  I have noticed extreme efforts beyond what I thought people would do to create an RP and would like to emulate them, including songs and music, writing, singing, story-specific drawings, and gathering those things.

Weaknesses
My brain is OCPD and I keep a files of our stories on MicrosoftWord for editing posts (without interfering with you), so then my mind can accept it.  I might post in the wrong area, write what I am saying to someone or write a word that sounds similar or that rhymes.  I can get hot, if I feel that the other RPer seems to god-mode or make a Mary Sues or Gary Lous A LOT, so I back away until I'm chill.  I will let you know what I'm doing and will get back to you when I'm stable.  Do NOT powerplay my characters unless I give you explicit and specific directions for how to do so.

The Rest of Blake's Intro
The first of his tablemates finally pried himself away from the kitchen and saluted Blæc with a smile, dropping onto the seat to his right. Surprisingly enough, despite the bright orange, flyaway strands on this man’s head, his skin still appeared paler, if only by the illusion caused by freckles and pinkiness. He was just a bit shorter than Blæc and even thinner than him, causing a lanky look, but he was an excellent chef, Blæc’s closest tie and very good at getting people to talk. He knew that, while torture is affective sometimes, it was better to negotiate with the other person for an answer. If he had to resort to other means, it had to be nonpermanent, which he was more than happy to oblige Blæc on. At least the tortured had the false comfort that a man that always wore sports or beach clothing was trying to intimidate them.

That coupled with his appearance avoided any chance of dread from the victim, in mannerisms and speech as well. He portrayed the stereotypical manifestation of exactly who he was, a mischievous, playful scoundrel. His features were small and fine overall; even his ears had a bent on the shell that caused it to look pointed from certain angles. Blæc never knew why, but Mother had not put up much of a fight over their relationship so far; rather, she stepped out of the way, not that he was truly buddy-buddy with Iudicael Parris. Something in the round, light green eyes or in the thin-lipped smile Blæc recognized, but he just could not pinpoint what it was and, because of that, he was uneasy about him, no matter how the other worked to appease. That was more than he could say about the next man.

Isidoro Thomas, who had been very reluctant to reveal his surname for a long time, stepped into the building, stopping in the doorway and rolling his head around, scanning. He was not searching for his seat; he knew where, but he checked for anything out of place. Since he worked with Blæc and Mother only for the shadier side of things, his concerns never focused on miniscule tasks like lasagna, et cetera. He made that point very clear whenever Blæc had asked for anything during his younger years, especially since he had a caretaker who was paid for it and to perform specific tasks for Mother. It always made Blæc and Mother laugh though, to see this large Spanish man, who was so very skilled at weapons and dealings, putting on a pink, frilly apron to prepare a grilled cheese sandwich for anyone. Needless to say, Isidoro did not find it funny and brought a frown to his harsh face whenever mentioned, but that just made it more comical.

In the back of his mind, Blæc heard the sound of his Mother’s laugh, a gentle ringing. That thing that once made him swell with pride to bring her joy now made his stomach twist in agitation. Blæc settled his stomach with another calming breath and Iudicael glanced over with a knowing smile. “Chill out. He is not even here yet. Wait for the other two before you work yourself up,” the redhead soothed teasingly, bringing a faint smile to Blæc’s face.

Isidoro walked over to the table, calling and stating quick all-clear on his cell before shutting it off, and plotted himself at the very edge far from Blæc and Iudicael, leaning forward in anticipation and coiled energy. His only relaxing move, which was probably knowingly done to avoid attention from the crowds, was placing one thickly muscled arm on the table. It helped little, as did his clean-cut clothing; Isidoro had a worse time chilling out on the job than Blæc and he had been doing this from a child well before he had grown over six-foot and into his shoulders. He would have been better assisted if a smile just adorned his large, but grave, lips to plump high-cheekbones and crinkle his brown eyes until they sparkled. Even unfurrowing his already low brow chanced a glimpse of a calm and easy nature, no matter how incorrect. However, no such luck and it was just as useless to mention table manners with him so intent on the door for their last date.

They all watched as a hot orange Koenigsegg CCX drove up and parked in one of the reserved parking spaces, a foreign care from a Nordic country. Mother was doing quite well by Njáll Whinery for using his body and she had had to go to Sweden to get him, so he would be expensive, of course, which meant wasted money for Blæc. Njáll’s professionally styled, honey blond hair popped out from inside the low vehicle with a smile on his face that acknowledged to any onlooker that this was indeed his ride. From this distance, they could see those blue eyes glowing in pride, expanding into the white. Blæc wondered if that could be willed or was another benefit to Mother’s intrusion. He had on a dark blue, designer suit, too, not that Blæc could argue with him, wearing one himself; labels meant a lot to those he dealt with, though he admitted to doing the same to see who he was dealing with.

Njáll strolled on in through the front door and Isidoro rose up, welcoming the other man to take the spot next to Blæc before he finally scooted his bottom completely on the chair like a normal diner. A waitress-slah-chef came over to the four men, Léonie Abelló, and took their order. As a true Italian chef, she had the looks, the language and the line, giving off an aura that normally warded off any nonsense. She nodded in excusal to them when finished and a waitress arrived seconds later with their glasses. Before more caustic greetings were extended, Iudicael spoke up, “Hello, Isidoro, Njáll. Glad you could join us. No issues getting here I hope.”

Isidoro raised an eyebrow at him and Njáll leaned back with a leisurely exhale, presenting his vehicle with a flat offered hand with a trenchant reponse, “What do you think? I got this vehicle today.”

Blæc glowered with a narrowing of his eyes, “I noticed. You did not have that yesterday.”

“That’s not the only thing I have ridden today either,” the Swede hinted with a smug expression at each man.

"Did Mother get lucky or you?" Blæc said flatly, wishing to deflate the other.

The blond shrugged, "Either way I felt the aftershocks."

“I’m sure. Tell me, any flu-like symptoms or warts in odd places yet?”

“I could as the same of you, since you were her first.”

Blæc pierced his eyes at the other. Mother just might pull something like that, wouldn’t she? It was certainly not beyond her. He was jostled out of his thoughts as Isidoro threw down his fork and glared at the two of them, “I will be eating here shortly. I would like to keep my appetite.”

Blæc bowed his head curtly and raised a brief hand for clemency, “Pardon me,” sitting back. “When will mother wake today?” he questioned Njáll.

“I am still inside my eight hours,” the other shrugged. “She is trying to compensate for your schedule, so ten, ten-thirty.”

“Good, I will be asleep.”

“You and me both.”

"You and I both know that being in the back of her mind is nothing like being asleep."

"What would you call it?" Njáll challenged, proping an arm onto the back of their booth.

"It is called subconscious for a reason, not unconscious and, frankly, she is a fate worse than death. I am pretty sure that is why Hell is not a fiery pit and is truly a second death. God cannot be that cruel."

Blæc’s table, supplied with food, quieted as they ate with the occasional word here and there about the cuisine or other business, kept in code in case of bugs. Normally, they were alerted to such warrants and they regularly checked everywhere, even in the dining area, but they still dealt with vigilance. Mother’s arrogance sometimes got the better of her, but Blæc would not stand for it, his fear becoming of good use. Isidoro, too, assisted, though on the side of caution as a form of aggressive fight rather than anxious flight. Njáll chatted more than the rest with Iudicael as a close second, instigating talk from Blæc and failing on part of Isidoro, but his attention was suddenly drawn elsewhere.

Iudicael’s pale eyes pulled slowly around the room, a gradual glance similar to Isidoro’s, but more casual and comfortable in his own wellbeing. They held upon their two newest visitors, and scrolled back towards Njáll and Blæc, watching as Njáll’s eyes go from that rich hue to an icier gray. Njáll’s head came up knowingly and locked his orbs on Iudicael. It was not any surprise that Njáll listened in on their thoughts; he was a psychic and, of course, Mother was fully aware of his mind by their link. He smiled pleasantly, nothing like any expression he normally portrayed, and, as he spoke, Blæc straightened in his seat. “Iudicael, be a dear and invite…Alexa and Vincent to our table.”

“Mother?” Blæc asked suspiciously as he turned toward the Swede, a hand gripping the back of the seat hard enough to turns his fingers whiter. There had not been any in-person interaction between them for a couple of months and several weeks before their last conversation. Absence had not made the heart grow fonder and it was far too soon to break this record. “What happened to Njáll’s eight hours?” he questioned daringly, a frown edging its way onto his face. Hell, he was not even to the point of asking her what she planned.

The other smiled at him with twinkling eyes and she replied, “He is on-call. Now I believe that they are on a date, so please come closer to me.” Blæc narrowed his eyes to show opposition, but Mother dismissed him as she turned to Isidoro. The Spaniard nodded and scooted to the edge for her to bring Njáll’s bottom over. “Thank you, Mr. Thomas,” she stated politely as she moved their blond delicately over. “Oh, and, Iudicael,” she paused, glancing at him, “I want the girl across from me, so that I can see her better.”

“Just made sure they are at least on the end, so that they can escape, if need be,” Blæc added and they certainly would need it. “What are you up to?” he interrogated firmly, still in his spot. A corner of Njáll’s mouth rose a little more and she patted the seat next to her. Blæc stuck out his chin in final defiance, but thought about it in that brief moment before sighing and making his way. “Now, what is it?” he reiterated, turning on her again. He would not let her avoid answering or she would try again in the future more assertively.

Mother nodded and cleared her throat as she placed a napkin on her lap, “Of course you want them on the periphery.” Pleased with the fold and encouraged to answer by Blæc’s intense gaze, she exhaled, “You always ask for more interface. Well, here it is. Mommy concedes. You have Iudicael, those twins and now these two.”

“Yeah, but what do you get out of this?” he spied incisively.

“A son’s smile and love is not satisfactory?”

Blæc’s face fell flat in doubt, and their redhead shook that colorful head with a small, laughing smile as he stood and then nodded, “Be back shortly.” He straightened his clothing, despite its very lackadaisical qualities, and moseyed over to their table at an angle and pace preventive of surprising them. “Madam, mister,” he greeted professionally and with a big ol’ smile that lit up the very air about his face, “the owners of our restaurant has noticed that you are not one of our regulars and would like to invite you as guests of honor to their table. Your presence is appreciated and food is on the house, if you will just follow me.” He gestured with a swing of his arm toward his group, backing up to place his other hand atop Alexa’s chair. Regardless of not wearing a uniform, it could be overlooked by such an inauguration.
