The conch blows transporting you into the Outlands where two riders are speeding toward the urban jungle of LA.
Nisa hugs Pandoria tightly, though her eyes are wide with awe at the speed of the landscape whipping by. Her hair, blowing wildly, leaves behind a stream of glitter.
Pandoria speeds along the dusty road, the sprawl of LA fast approaching in the distance. She glances back briefly to Nisa, blushing slightly as she feels the closeness of her against her back.
Nisa leans forward to say "Whee! This is more fun then riding the dragon"
Pandoria grins as she glances back again. "I'm glad you like." She guns the bike faster, throwing up more dust in their wake.
With the increase in speed, Nisa's eyes widen. She clutches onto Pandoria dramatically and makes a small eep sound.
Pandoria sighs as she lets herself lean back more, enjoying the feel of the nixie's breasts along her back. Her faces brightens in a bright flush as she refuses to look back, afraid to give away her feelings. She says rather loudly, "Sorry...." She lowers her speed as they approach the outskirts of the city.
Nisa smiles to herself, and she props her chin onto Pandoria's shoulder. "That's LA?"
Pandoria can't help but grin as she glances over for a second, "Yup. What do you feel like eating?"
Nisa bites her lip for a second, trying to not let the playful smile creep upon her lips. She is quiet for a surprisingly long moment before she mumbles "Fresh fruit, french toast, and a whole gallon of Hot chocolate!"
Pandoria smiles as she tries to focus on the road before her, not the sensations created by the body pressed into her back. "I'm not sure about the fresh fruit. I've never really found any here.... The toast and chocolate shouldn't be a problem. I know a place that serves those and synth fruit.... Good enough?"
Nisa blinks for a moment, and leans back in consideration. Then she leans forward again. "What kind of tree does it come from?"
Pandoria laughs softly, "It's not a tree silly. Synth means it's made by man. It stands for synthetic. " She turns back and winks at Nisa for a moment before turning her head away, to watch the road again.
Nisa nods with an "Ahh". She shrugs and smiles. "If it doesn't walk, I'll consider it edible." Then her voice lowers a few steps. "...though I will make a few exceptions."
Pandoria smiles for a moment and blinks, "What was that? I didn't catch that?"
Nisa shakes her head. "Not important."
Pandoria nods and heads toward the first place that she can think of that serves those foods, Denny's.
Nisa looks around her, ever the hyper tourist. She looks up at the sign as they pull in. "Who's Denny? Does he make good toast?"
Pandoria giggles as she parks the bike. "Yeah, he does. Don't know who he is. Never met him. Kangee hasn't either. I think he gets around though. They're everywhere according to Kangee."
Nisa jumps off the bike, and then smiles at her. "It is very nice of you to bring me here."
Pandoria smiles at her as she tries to cover up her sadness of losing the sensation of Nisa pressed against her. "Wait till you try the food." She giggles.
Nisa giggles and grabs Pandoria's hand. "Come on! I'm starved!" She nearly drags her over towards the entrance.
Pandoria giggles and follows willingly feeling a bit hungry herself.
Nisa stops just outside and tilts her head slightly. "Um....Do I look too... odd to go in there?" She tries to examine herself for any sign of otherworldliness.
Pandoria smiles and can't help but stare at Nisa for a moment herself. "Umm...." She nibbles her lip. "No, you look fine." She smiles.
Nisa meets Pandoria's eyes for a moment and then nods. "Okay. I'm ready. " She giggles slightly.
Pandoria smiles and pulls Nisa inside, staring at the crowd. She looks around and points at a table in the back, away from most of the other patrons. "There?
Nisa nods. "That works. " She slides into the booth.
Pandoria sits down across from Nisa and stares at her for a bit. "This's all new to you, huh?"
The waitress, though polite, leaves something to be desired. After waiting forever for their drinks and then for their food, it actually turns out to be worth the wait. The cook must have just gotten a raise.
Pandoria smiles. "Well, this is actually better then usual? It's usually....." She wrinkles her nose a bit. "Rather barely edible.... Kangee I think likes to eat here. At least this is where the band crashes sometimes.... Speaking of which, I just remembered I left my journal at the flat where we all lived...."
Pandoria bounces a little in her seat. "We'll have to stop there before we go back... Okie?"
Nisa perks up slightly in between mouthfuls of toast. "You keep a journal?"
The nixie shies away from the snythfruit. It tastes very strange to her.
Pandoria nods a bit emphatically, a bit of her drink dripping from a corner of her mouth. She looks down at it and blushes.
Pandoria notices Nisa's reaction to the fruit. "Yeah, it just doesn't cut it for me either sometimes, but it's better then the meat...."
Nisa grins and quickly finishes off her cup of chocolate, then leans back in her seat. She pats her belly. "Wow..I wonder how long its really been since I last ate!"
Pandoria can't help but laugh at that. "Many women would like to have that curse, me thinks."
Nisa's eyebrows crinkle together. "Why is that? Eating is a good thing!"
Pandoria giggles again, "Yes, it is, but getting fat isn't." She stands up and tugs at Nisa's hand. "Where do you wanna go first? Cloth shopping or see my place?" She blushes a bit as she realizes how that may sound.
Nisa gets up slowly and closes her hand around Pandoria's. "I'm full, I don't think I want to run around a clothing store just yet. Maybe after it digests."
Pandoria nods slowly as she glances back at Nisa and runs her eyes over her body quickly. She nibbles her lip and begins to picture what it would be like to see her changing clothes. She blushes and battles the thoughts down, frowning at herself heavily. "Okie. It's a mess. Course they'll be mad that we haven't been around all month.... We're all a band, by the way."
Nisa oohs. "A band? What do you play?"
Pandoria brighten a bit. "Keyboard mostly. I write songs. They don't like my stuff usually though. Kangee does. I can even sing. But Kangee is the lead singer. I do the chorus mostly.
Pandoria tugs Nisa outside and over to the bike, and finds herself looking forward to the bike ride with Nisa again.
Nisa smiles and slips onto the bike, patting the front seat. "Let's go!"
Pandoria giggles and climbs onto the bike, snuggling into the seat and close to Nisa, a little suggestively. She blushes as she guns the engine and laughs. "Okie. Here we go. "She speeds out of the parking spot and toward her flat.
Nisa giggles as well, and wraps her arms around Pandoria making it seem unconscious.
Pandoria smiles as she leans back slightly she drives the dark street of the urban complex, running a fast and direct route to her flat. She pulls up outside of the place staring up at the old building in a run down part of city. "It's on the top floor. Kinda creepy, huh? I kinda like it. Not sure why. Kangee picked it out, I think. Not sure. They were all living there before I joined in."
Nisa looks up at it quietly. "It just seems...Tired. Like its seen to much."
Pandoria glances back at Nisa and nods. "Yeah it does. Doesn't it?" She nibbles her lip as she stares up at it. There are no sign of lights. Maybe they are all out. She silently hopes they are, not wanting to explain all that happened to them.
Nisa tilts her head to one side again. "Maybe so. I'll just glitter the whole place and make them wonder when they get back."
Pandoria giggles, "That would be cool. The place could use it." Pandoria reluctantly gets off the bike, offering to help Nisa off.
Nisa grins, and pokes at her. Taking the offered assistance, and not seeming to let go of the hand. "Off we go..."
Pandoria giggles and holds onto Nisa's hand leading her into the building and to the old elevator. "I'm not sure I trust this thing, but I don't feel like climbing the stairs either." The door lies open waiting for a passenger.
Nisa makes a face. "Reminds me of a coffin."
Pandoria nods and nibbles her lip as a thought of Katia enters her mind. She quickly banishes it, knowing it would only bring her pain. She squeezes Nisa's hand tight as she leads her onto the elevator and presses the top floor button.
Pandoria continues to hold onto Nisa's hand as she nibbles her lip, watching the elevator's progress upward toward their destination. She is filled with a strange feeling. She realizes she does actually miss the place. It wasn't much but it was home and it did keep her off the streets and safe. The thoughts of the songs that she had written there makes her smile a bit. She smiles a bit nervously over at Nisa, as she give Nisa's hand another squeeze. She couldn't help but dwell on the softness of Nisa's hand. The thought makes her think of the bike ride. She nibbles her lip again at the thought of Nisa and her breasts pressed up against her back. She sighs and can't help but get a bit of a feeling that she is cheating on Katia. After a moment the thought strikes her as laughable. There was nothing between Katia and her. She was more sure of it now after this morning's encounter. Katia cared for another.... For Niki.... Not her.... She finds that she is absently stroking Nisa's hand. She blushes and turns toward Nisa to gauge her reaction.
When Pandoria turns to look at Nisa, She finds Nisa avidly staring at her. As their eyes meet, Nisa smiles and looks down on the elevator's floor.
As the lift reaches its destination, Nisa uses her ring finger on the hand holding Pandoria's and slowly drags it across the soft part of the wrist, relishing the feel of warm skin. Then Nisa looks up again as the door opens, and tries to see a sign of 'something' in Pandoria's eyes.
Pandoria looks at Nisa meeting her gaze as her heart beats heavily in her chest. She smiles as she says softly, "We're here....." She doesn't take a step though, as if held in place and she continues to hold her gaze with Nisa.
Nisa takes a breath, a small smile on her lips that radiates to her eyes. "Okay..." She mumbles softly, and inches forward, holding her gaze.
Pandoria bites the left side of lip lightly as her stare goes down Nisa's face to rest on her lips. Her feet fidget slightly before she takes a step closer, her teeth letting go of her lip as she shows Nisa a half smile.
Nisa smirks, and draws her eyes away looking around her.
Pandoria sighs a little part of her sad the moment passed, another part, the part of her that still loves Katia doesn't mind. She sighs and squeezes Nisa's hand tugging her forward to the run down, beaten up flat. It stretches out over a relatively large area. Bigger then most apartments. Windows are covered up and boarded all around as a couch rests in the area before then. Curtains can be seen hung up blocking off a few areas around the place.
"Wow" Nisa manages. Her eyes light up again as she drags Pandoria over to the couch. Which she promptly jumps into the air, and lands upon.
Pandoria giggles and takes a step closer to Nisa, but remains standing. "Careful, this is where I slept for awhile."
Nisa looks up at Pandoria with a smile. "It is nice. You go find your journal. I'll curl up here... if I doze. Wake me when you are ready." Ready for what, I wonder...she thinks to herself. But hides that behind a droopy eyelidded smile. "Me thinks I ate to much."
Pandoria smiles as she giggles. "You're sitting on it I think." She adds to the last line, "Aww.... You going to be all right?"
Nisa nods, and manages a smile. "I don't think I'll be able to move just yet though. But at least you'll get your journal back nice and warm."
Pandoria smiles and nods. She watches Nisa for a moment and blushes slightly before saying, "Do you think there is room for two there?" Her face reddens more upon saying it.
Nisa smiles and nudges over a bit. "Sounds like a deal, I keep your journal warm, You keep me warm."
Pandoria giggles. "Yeah...." She plops down next to Nisa and adds, "Sounds fair."
Nisa smile softens as she watches Pandoria move. She makes sure her arms and legs are out of the way.
Pandoria blinks as she curls catlike on the couch, pulling herself up into a ball. She seems a little lost for words, but at the same time she looks like she wants to say something.
Nisa almost unconsciously bends around Pandoria, spooning her. She tries to keep her breath from catching as she loosely drapes an arm over her.
Pandoria smiles as Nisa enfolds her. She nibbles her lip softly. "You're warm...." She giggles nervously, not sure why she just said that. "I'm sorry, that must have sounded silly." Her mind turns to the feels of Nisa's breasts against her. She puts her hand on Nisa's hand.
Nisa nearly whispers in Pandoria's ear. "You are too. And its not silly." She leans her head over so she can take a deep whiff of Pandoria's hair.
Pandoria sighs contently and tries to remember the last time she felt this comfortable, this loved.... She smiles as Nisa smells her hair as she gently strokes Nisa's hand.
Nisa sighs as well, and mumbles. "You are very beautiful." Then she smiles at how corny that must be. She stays quiet after that.
Pandoria pulls her shoulder closer to her head as she blushes. She glances back at Nisa. "T-thank you. Noone has ever said that to me before...." She smiles. "You are beautiful too...."
Nisa smiles gently and sits up slightly to cup Pandoria's chin with one hand. "Thank you. You are sweet." With that she leans over and gently kisses the corner of her mouth.
Pandoria smiles and when Nisa's lips touch hers she reaches for Nisa and pulls her closer, kissing back a bit more firmly, but lips only.
Nisa flinches at first, not even dreaming that Pandoria would do anything like that. Then she softens and pulls away, staring into her eyes.
Pandoria stares at Nisa's lips a moment longer before meeting her gaze. She smiles surprised that she is not nervous.
Nisa smiles into Pandoria's eyes for a long moment and then hugs her tightly. "You are cuddly. I thought as much ever since I saw you walk into the room."
Pandoria blushes and glances away, running her hand along Nisa's arm. "Thanks." She turns her head to gaze at Nisa's eyes and smiles softly at her. "You're very cuddly..... I feel safe...."
Nisa smirks slightly, and then giggles. Her face turning red. Then she bites her bottom lip.
Pandoria smiles at her and brings her arm over and runs her finger along Nisa's face and on top of her lip. "What's wrong?"
Nisa closes her eyes a moment, concentrating on the feeling of being touched. Then she opens them again. "What do you mean by...safe?"
Pandoria stops and pulls her hand back. "I- um...." She blushes. "I just meant I don't feel threatened. I-I feel comfortable. Protected almost I think..." She grimaces thinking how lame that all sounds.
Nisa smiles slightly. "I don't feel safe at all. But I don't mind..." She nuzzles against Pandoria's neck, and kisses her once very gently there.
Pandoria closes her eyes against the sensation of being kissed and leans back into the kiss. She nibbles her lip a bit.
Nisa stays there a moment, and then pulls back so that she can see Pandoria's face.
Pandoria glances back for a moment at Nisa, meeting her gaze. She looks away and says, "Why don't you feel safe? Do I make you uncomfortable?"
Nisa chuckles softly. "Not uncomfortable. Just...not safe. A nixies heart beats fast and free. It is..." She looks away from Pandoria. "...easily broken."
Pandoria nibbles her lip a moment and suddenly thinks of Katia. She blushes bright red as she realizes what she is doing. She say nervously "I-I'm sorry.... Things are just so weird right now.... I'm rather confused...." She feels rather weird. Uncomfortable again as she realizes that she also has feelings for Nisa too.
Nisa looks slightly saddened but hugs Pandoria to comfort her. "You...want her...don't you?"
Pandoria blinks and pulls back a little, rather shocked at the words. She nibbles her lip. She stays silent for a long time before saying, "I do.... But it could never happen. Niki loves her. She loves Niki.... It's all complicated." She tries to hide the pain in her voice.
Nisa runs her hands through Pandoria's hair. "All good things are complicated. I..understand." Nisa closes her eyes a moment.
Pandoria sighs and closes her eyes. She loves the sensation of Nisa running her hands through her hair and she can't help but smile. "I love it when you do that...." She can't remember the last time anyone made her feel this way... outside of Katia, but things were rather one-sided there....
Nisa pauses a moment, and takes a deep breath before continuing. But she seems to do it more out of comfort now, then out of excitement.
Pandoria sighs and suddenly feels the urge to kiss Nisa..... She turns slowly in the couch, using all her cat-like grace to achieve the maneuver and stares Nisa in the eye. She smiles and closes her eyes bending forward to kiss Nisa on the lips again.
Nisa leans into the kiss, wrapping her arms around the warm cuddly bundle beside her. Her thoughts are muddled, but she pushes them aside.
Pandoria leans further into the kiss as she wraps her arms around Nisa her mind swirling, her feelings confused but her blood racing at the feel of Nisa's lips on her own.
Nisa opens her lips slightly. Not thinking that encouraging Pandoria might not be the best of things, since she is desperately in love with another. Not thinking at all.
Pandoria opens her eyes as Nisa opens her mouth. She finds herself doing the same, her tongue seeking out Nisa's. Her heart races as she leans further into Nisa, pushing her into the back of the couch.
Nisa feels the urgency of the kiss hit her hard. She lets out a soft sound, as she is poked in the back by a hard object. Presumably the journal. She breaks the kiss, looking at Pandoria with wide eyes.
Pandoria falls forward a bit at the breaking of the kiss. She stares into Nisa's eyes, her blood burning for more. "W-what's wrong...? Did I do something wrong?"
Nisa begins to giggle, and then outright laugh as she digs behind her for the hard object, holding it up for Pandoria to see.
Pandoria frowns at the laugh and then joins in when she sees the journal. She laughs too hard, slipping off the couch. "See I can be a real pain...."
Nisa grins and moves to the edge of the couch, sitting up. She hands over the journal solemnly. "It's jealous." She giggles.
Pandoria blushes as she takes the journal in hand, holding it close to her chest. "I guess...." She can't help but stare at Nisa's lips for a moment.... "So now what?"
Nisa takes a deep breath. "Are they waiting for us?"
Pandoria nibbles on her lips. "They might be.... Do you want to go back now?" She looks a little down. She can still feel Nisa's lips against her own, not to mention Nisa's breasts against her back....
Nisa nods gently. "I...don't want to get my hopes up..while your dreaming of another." She looks away, sadly. "We'd best get back."
Pandoria nods slowly suddenly feeling rather wrenched as she stares at Nisa. "I-I...." She realizes any words she says are meaningless here. She nods sadly. "Okay...." She stands up slowly, stretching, nervously.
Nisa gets to her feet, smiles weakly. Then hugs Pandoria. "I'll still be there. If she does not come around." With that she removes herself and waits by the elevator.
Pandoria, sighs at the hug and tries to enjoy the entire feel of the closeness of Nisa. She frowns at Nisa's words and nod sadly as she stands there lost in thought for a moment before joining her at the elevator.
