>>Cynthia [Tanya]: Apology accepted, Cynthia. I do know what it's like to get my mind so wrapped into something that I forget other things. I do hope that you are alright and that you reassure Sandy. She was very worried.<<

There are very few people out at this time of night and even the three old men are off Sophie's porch. The carriage and driver are waiting for you when you get to the stables. He tips his hat and helps you into the carriage while asking how your evening had gone. The oil sconces are lit up, providing light for the way back and the only sounds you hear are birds off in the distance and the clop of the horse's hooves on the stone road.

[Cynthia Rawson - 22:40, Friday June 14th, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1085

Cynthia answered the question with a grumble "From what I can remember anyway..." As she settled in the coach, she seemed a bit restless. She obviously wasn't used to those, and it still felt odd - and probably would for a while - but more than that, she was a bit scared to get lost in her thoughts again. Instead, she asked Claudia "Do you have plans for tomorrow?"

Friday June 14th, 2075 2244, Cajun Town, Seattle


Claudia nods and gives you a serious look as she leans forward and takes one of your hands in hers. "Yeah, sitting around worrying about you and hoping that you come back to us with your mind intact. THAT is what I plan on doing tomorrow. You have a better idea?"

[Cynthia Rawson - 22:44, Friday June 14th, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1086

"Uh..." Cynthia seemed a bit disturbed "You can spend more than 24h worrying if you want, but... Tomorrow's doctor's appointment is only a checkup for that elf thing. And I doubt picking up armour and weapons is likely to do much on that topic... They'll only pick at my brain on Sunday." She grimaced then "Honestly if they had done so already, I'd have thought that was why I did...well...that."

Friday June 14th, 2075 2244, Cajun Town, Seattle


Claudia blushes a bit. "Sorry. I got my days mixed up, I guess. I suppose I do not have anything planned for tomorrow except trying to get to know the house and grounds. And maybe that town. It all just seems so, well, weird is my word for it, I guess. I am still trying to wrap my head around all that is happening. Do you need me to do something besides kick my investigator in the butt?"

[Cynthia Rawson - 22:44, Friday June 14th, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1087

"Given what just happened, I won't blame you..." Cynthia grimaced, a small smirk forming on her lips after some time. She shook her head "Nothing important comes to mind no, though maybe you could make sure your parents' apartment in New York is free and that we can use it next week?" She glanced at Sandy "I'm not sure at what time exactly we have to leave in the morning, but with the doctor's office one hour from Seattle, it will probably be around 9:30? We'd be back around 14:00 to get you and then go pick up the stuff I ordered. It's not really necessary for you I suppose since it's a jacket and there's nothing much than can go wrong with it but..." She shrugged.

Friday June 14th, 2075 2245, Cajun Town, Seattle


Claudia nods. "Sure, I can do that and focus on getting some of the information you have asked for."

The carriage pulls up to the door of the house and one of the footmen is waiting and he steps forward to assist the three of you from the carriage. "Welcome home, Misses."

Broadmoor appears at the door and greets you as well as you enter your house. A maid is at your side to take your wraps and remove them to the cloakroom. The butler looks at the three of you. "What time should I have breakfast ready in the morning, Misses?"

[Cynthia Rawson - 22:45, Friday June 14th, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1088

Cynthia nodded as the servants did their things, thanking them with a word here and there. It was pretty clear however she wasn't used to have anyone take care of her like that, and seemed a bit unnerved by it all. She replied without having to think too much about it when Broadmoor asked at what time breakfast was to be prepared though "I'll wake up at seven and go on a jog for an hour or so. Add a shower to that, it would make it around 8:15 or 8:30 for me?" She paused, but before anyone could say anything, she added "Oh and a small snack before I go out would be nice. Just a bite or two and a glass of juice, so as to not run on an empty stomach?"

Friday June 14th, 2075 2245, Cajun Town, Seattle


Broadmoor nods and tells you that your wishes will be followed.

Sandy yawns. "Are you guys ready for bed?"

[Cynthia Rawson - 22:45, Friday June 14th, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1089

Cynthia nodded "Ye..." She was interrupted by a yawn too though, but managed to finish pretty soon "ah." With a new yawn, she rubbed her eyes "Dammit." She waved at the other people in the room "Let's go.", and started to walk in the direction of her bedroom. She stopped halfway though, and instead aimed at the bathroom to brush her teeth.

Friday June 14th, 2075 2252, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle


When you come out of the bathroom, you see both of the others waiting for you. Claudia looks a bit unsure but Sandy reaches over and takes one of her hands then takes yours in the other before entering the bedroom and kicking the door shut behind you. She looks at you and smiles then over to Claudia. After Sandy nods at her, too, Claudia lifts a hand and tries to put in your free hand.

[Cynthia Rawson - 22:52, Friday June 14th, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1090

Cynthia let Claudia take her hand, squirming a bit. After a second or two, clearly trying to release the tension, she said "You know, it'll be kinda awkward to get to bed if we're all holding hands..."

Friday June 14th, 2075 2252, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle



Sandy laughs and drops the hands she is holding and begins undressing you. Claudia chuckles, too, and her hands begin to work on the dress Sandy is wearing.

[Cynthia Rawson - 22:52, Friday June 14th, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1091

Not really being in any position to do much of anything, Cynthia let Sandy undress her, slightly shivering when Sandy's hands brushed against her skin. She stood there, squirming, eager to get to the next part of things. Eager and...she glanced at Claudia. A bit anxious too, not knowing at all how to deal in this situation, or how to act.

Friday June 14th, 2075 2252, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle


Sandy senses a bit of uncertainty in you and reached for one of your hands, putting it on Claudia's shoulder. "I think you are supposed to be undressing her, Cynthia"

[Cynthia Rawson - 22:52, Friday June 14th, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1092

Cynthia reached out to Claudia, a bit tentatively. This all seemed far from efficient to her, since there was no way to do much with all three of them undressing someone else at the same time but... Alright, maybe the point wasn't to be efficient. She slightly shook her head, and focused on Claudia.

She felt it was a bit awkward, with Claudia half turned to take care of Sandy, but nonetheless reached out to the other girl, brushing her neck with her fingers on the way to the buttons holding the dress. She shivered again, as she felt Sandy's hands going around her to reach the buttons of her own blouse, but tried to not let that get her distracted as she popped the first few buttons. With a small smile, she ran her hand along Claudia's spine, from the top of her neck to the bra, then lower, popping buttons on the way. As she reached the last one, she caressed the girl's flanks under the dress, sneaking her hands towards her belly.

Friday June 14th, 2075 2258, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle


Yeah, the goal is probably not efficiency, but things get done and before too long all three girls are naked. Claudia turns to you and cups your head in your hands. "You sure know how to me. Because I am still feeling my way around here, so to speak, may I kiss you?"

Sandy moans. "Oh, please do and then someone kiss me."

[Cynthia Rawson - 22:58, Friday June 14th, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1093

Cynthia's eyebrows rose quite a bit "You kissed me already, even...well...down there..." She squirmed a little, starting to blush "You did more than just kiss in fact... And now you're worried I won't allow you to do it anymore?" she shook her head slightly, and not waiting for the answer took the initiative to show Claudia that a kiss was okay.

As she kissed the other girl, she put her arms around her neck, slightly rubbing her breasts against Claudia's. Or considering their relative sizes, maybe it was the other way around...

Friday June 14th, 2075 2258, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle


Claudia smiles. "I did not wish to presume. But as you say......................"

Before long, the large bed is the scene of a mass of twisted limbs and all three women experience an ecstasy that is new to them, an ecstasy that rolls through several orgasm and leaves all three completely exhausted and used up.

Morning comes very early. You stir as your link lets you know it is time to wake up. As you open your eyes, you are facing Sandy, who is awake and looking at you, her eyes far brighter than they should be at this time of the day. "Wow........just wow." She shakes her head. "We are all just so amazing."

An arm curls around you from someone behind you on the bed, "I'll say. You two were so great. I was completely used up and that has rarely happened. So, Cynthia, do you run solo or could you use the company?"

Sandy groans. "Not for me, thanks. I am thinking some more time in bed."

[Cynthia Rawson - 07:00, Saturday June 15th, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1094

Cynthia woke up feeling good. More than good in fact, she had never felt so... Well, maybe blissful would be an apt word. Falling asleep in the arms of her two girlfriends, one in front, one behind, and waking in pretty much the same position was definitely enjoyable. She didn't say anything straight away, merely hugging Sandy, and nestling more closely against Claudia as if she wanted to fuse with the two girls. After a while, she kissed Sandy's lips. It wasn't a full blown kiss, but it wasn't particularly chaste either, then turned her head to the side to offer one to Claudia. Once this was done, she sighed.

It wasn't an annoyed, or worse, sigh though, but one of contentment. A second or two later, she finally answered "I don't mind but... Do you have what you need to run? I could give you the stuff I used a few days ago, but I'm not sure the shoes will fit and I don't have bras... So unless Renee thought of that..."

Friday June 14th, 2075 0703, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle


Claudia, grimaces. "No, you are right. And it is never a good idea to run in poor fitted shoes. I guess I know one of the things I will be doing today." She stretches and runs a hand down your flank to cup your butt. "God, this ass had me going all night. It is so firm and...and perfect." The hand moves to reach around your torso to cup one of your breasts. "And these? Also perfect. I could feast on them."

Sandy laughs and reaches out to cup the other one. "Now, now, Claudia, you have to share these with me. Hell, Cynthia, you are just perfect for both of us. Who would have thought?"

[Cynthia Rawson - 07:03, Saturday June 15th, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1095

Cynthia couldn't help but moan softly, as she squirmed between the two girls "I'm not perfect. I know plenty of people who think they're too small." She didn't seem concerned about that though, as if she didn't find whatever others thought important "But..." She shrugged "I like them just like they are. At least I don't need those hateful bras, even for sports. And they'll never sag. So... All good."

Her breath caught when Sandy lightly pinched one of her nipples "Don't, I... I really have to go. I've not run since... Tuesday? I think? Anyway, I really want to stay fit, especially if we're looking for an assassin. Or if they're looking for me..."

She moaned again, eyes half closed, as Claudia kissed the side of her neck "Plus given how we eat here, especially now that we have a cook, if I don't want to look like a whale a month from now..."

Inhaling deeply to gather her courage, she finally sat up, and escaping the hands of the two girls, stood beside the bed. She looked without looking, and quickly said "After... After. If there's time." Her hands, one rubbing the nipple Sandy had teased, and the other resting on her lower belly didn't leave much to imagine about what she was hinting at. She didn't wait for an answer though, and rummaging through the stuff she had bought on Thursday started to get dressed for her run.

Friday June 14th, 2075 0703, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle


Claudia moves on to touching Sandy after you leave the bed. Sandy gasps. "You know, Cynthia, I have heard that energetic sex burns more calories than just about any other activity.......Oh God, Yes! Do that again, whatever it was."

Claudia lifts her head from one of Sandy's breasts. "Since I have no running clothes yet, I think I will just stay here with Sandy. Maybe you can get back faster if you imagine what we are doing. Of course, you could just get out of that stuff and join us." She puts her head back down and you hear slurping sounds and moans instead of words.

[Cynthia Rawson - 07:03, Saturday June 15th, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1096

For a moment, Cynthia stood there, torn. Well, part of her anyway. She had one hand on the front of her shorts, and given how parts of her were contracting... Or erect... Well, those parts of her were quite sure of what they wanted. A bit amused, she thought of her poor vagina who hadn't seen any action itself despite everything, but she didn't really feel ready to go through that yet. Plus, it wasn't like it could be much better than it already was, the clitoris was the most important part after all, right? Maybe she should have tried with Claudia to see. Sandy's was as intact as hers, but she was pretty sure Claudia's hymen wasn't there anymore. For a second, she wondered how that had happened, but...

She resolutely shook her head as she finished putting her running shoes on though "Later. If you're not exhausted by the time I come back." After that, making sure her shawl was tightly fixed on her head, she walked out of the room, almost fleeing it. She quickly stopped by the toilets to pee, then went to the kitchen to find that little something to eat before running.

Friday June 14th, 2075 0705, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle


As you leave the room, you leave muffled giggles and moans and one not to muffled cry of pleasure behind you. A young woman is in the kitchen putting the finishing touches on the bite you had requested. She curtsies and bids you a good morning. "Will there be anything else, Miss and will anyone else be joining you?"

[Cynthia Rawson - 07:05, Saturday June 15th, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1096

Cynthia smiled, as she thanked the woman "Thanks." She munched on her snack, and shook her head, with a wry smile "Nope, not today. I guess we'll all take that breakfast at around 8:15. Or maybe more 8:30..." Her cheecks reddened slightly at that, so she didn't stay much longer than the time it took her to drink a glass of juice.

She waved behind her as she left the kitchen, greeting anyone she'd meet on the way to the entrance. Once outside, she did some quick stretches before starting her run. She didn't really have a destination in mind, so just followed the trail along the river, all the while paying attention to make sure she didn't stumble on one of those crocodiles she had been warned about. She thought it was just a joke, but... She'd hate to discover otherwise as she stepped on one of those things...

Friday June 14th, 2075 0705, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle


Several of the staff are up and about as you walk through the house. Outside, it is a great day for a morning run. After stretching, you set off down the path. At the river, you have a choice to turn right and follow the path to the town or turn left and follow the river in a direction that you have not been before. As you consider your choices, you note that the boathouse is looking a bit spiffier than it used to.

[Cynthia Rawson - 07:10, Saturday June 15th, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1097

Cynthia spent a few seconds looking at the boathouse, but didn't pay it too much attention. At least that wasn't too surprising. Considering everything else anyway. She didn't hesitate much beyond that, and turned left: she was going to be running for around thirty minutes in one direction after all, and the town was much closer than that. Plus, a bit of exploration could be interesting. Well... As long as there weren't crocodiles on the way at least...

Friday June 14th, 2075 0709, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle


After a few minutes of running on the left hand river path you are paralleling the river. Masses of Spanish Moss drip from huge Mangrove trees and you can hear noises from inland as well as on the river. You see a small boat on the water that appears to be anchored a short distance from the shore. A man in the boat is fishing and raises a hand to wave at you as you run past him. The underbrush comes down almost to the path on your left and you can hear rustling out there that could be almost anything. The path seems to be mostly rutted dirt, but once in a while you can see a piece of stonework peeking through that implies that the path once led somewhere.

[Cynthia Rawson - 07:10, Saturday June 15th, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1098

Cynthia didn't really feel at ease, and was instead kind of jumpy. She really wasn't used to those noises, or to run in places like that. At all. It was disconcerting, and she couldn't help but worry about all the things out there. She had been told there were crocodiles of course, at least those could probably be easily avoided. Just don't step on them. But... What about the other beasts in the forest? They had hunters right? So it meant there were dangerous creatures out there. Why hunt otherwise? She was really starting to regret picking this side of the path.

It was however something else that grabbed her attention. She couldn't be sure exactly how even if she had a pretty good idea, but... She was faster. Much faster than she had been a week ago, for the same amount of effort. It was... It felt good, and it was enough to draw her attention elsewhere than the general creepiness of the path.

Friday June 14th, 2075 0715, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle


The place certainly is a bit creepier and the trail gets more overgrown the farther you go, but you can see a building up ahead through the trees.

[Cynthia Rawson - 07:10, Saturday June 15th, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1099

Despite finding the place a bit creepy, Cynthia was still pretty curious. So when she noticed the building ahead she edged in its direction, wanting to know what kind of secrets the place was still hiding.



By the way, Cynthia only thinks it's creepy because she's a City girl who never saw more than one tree at a time (ok, more than a couple), I'm not saying it's really creepy ^^

Friday June 14th, 2075 0716, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle


You leave the trees to see a large building and several smaller ones ahead of you near the bank of the river. The large structure is a mill of some sort and the smaller ones look to be three houses and four storage buildings, one of them larger that the others but still quite a bit smaller than the mill. This is about all you can tell from this distance.

[Cynthia Rawson - 07:16, Saturday June 15th, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1100

Feeling at least a bit more at ease, less surrounded, Cynthia ran in the direction of the buildings, making sure she wasn't going on private property. She didn't plan to get into the building, just seeing what this was about by running around them. Plus, maybe the path continued after the buildings themselves.

Friday June 14th, 2075 0716, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle


The buildings appear to be pretty much abandoned by anything except weeds and small animals. A couple of the roofs have caved in and several of the buildings are missing parts of walls. The path does indeed continue on past the buildings and leads back into the mangroves that line the river.

[Cynthia Rawson - 07:16, Saturday June 15th, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1101

Not really wanting to get one of the roofs to fall on her head, Cynthia squared her shoulders and continued to run along the river. She could always come back later to see what was there, but for now, she just wanted to run.

Friday June 14th, 2075 0721, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle


Little changes for another five minutes then you see a couple of smoke trails in the sky ahead of you, as if from chimneys and can hear what sounds like people laughing. There might be the vague shapes of a couple of buildings through the trees.

[Cynthia Rawson - 07:21, Saturday June 15th, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1102

Cynthia hesitated a bit, but decided to continue on the path. She wasn't here to meet anyone, but seeing people wouldn't hurt her and since she was obviously jogging, she'd have a pretty good reason not to stop. Plus, she was curious to know what this was about: surely, it was too early for a barbecue and we were in June... That fire was certainly not because of the cold.

Friday June 14th, 2075 0721, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle


You come out of the trees to see a small collection of huts and cabins lining the near side of a wide river that feeds into the much larger one you are running next to. There are several large buildings in various stages of disrepair located near the mouth of the river, where it empties into the larger one. A wide stone wharf divides the mostly ramshackle houses from the river. You see a number of nearly naked children playing in the mud near the riverbank, presumably the source of the noise you had heard. Smoke rises from several of the buildings through stone chimneys that seem to have stood the test of time in far better condition that the buildings they are attached to. The children stop playing as one of their number spots you standing at the edge of the trees and one scurries off to a house as the rest huddle together and take up a position behind the eldest, who appears to be a girl of perhaps early teens.

[Cynthia Rawson - 07:21, Saturday June 15th, Serenity, Cajun Town, Seattle] #1103

That was weird. Of all the weird things Cynthia had seen around here in those last few days, that must... Alright, maybe not top all of it. But still, that was certainly pretty high. As she approached, she slowed down a little, looking around, trying to see if she hadn't missed anything. Finally, stopping not too far from the girl, her hands on her sides, she asked between two deep breaths "Hi. Everything alright here?"

Friday June 14th, 2075 0722, Port Au Lijon, Seattle

The girl does not appear to understand you, although she shakes her head and her demeanor indicates that she is afraid of something.

There is a sharp bang of a door closing from the direction of the houses and three adult men appear. One turns back to the house as the door opens again, this time letting the young boy out, who runs off to another of the ramshackle dwellings. You can see two women standing in the open door until the man says something in that strange polyglot Creole all the locals in Cajun Town seem to speak. The door slams shut with a bang and the man joins his companions as they walk towards you.

A few sharp words from the men and the children huddled together sprint towards the houses, except for the older girl, who stands her ground, looking at you, perhaps rooted in fear.. The men approach to within about twenty feet of you and stop, looking you over. One man will take a step forward and speak in a very heavily accented English. "You are far from home, young woman." He seems to need to think of the words he needs to use because there is a slight pause before he continues. "Are you lost?"

[Cynthia Rawson - 07:22, Saturday June 15th, Port au Lijon, Seattle] #1104

Cynthia looked at everything going on with a frown. Something seemed fishy, but she couldn't really put her finger on it. Though... If the children had been laughing just moments before, it was not the adults they were afraid of, but her. Not that she understood the reason though. She was wearing nothing more than a short and a t-shirt, both sweaty, so it was pretty obvious she didn't carry any weapon. Maybe they just didn't like strangers. It would almost he refreshing compared to how the villagers reacted to her, but...

After a few seconds, shook her head and answered slowly, to give the man the time to understand "No, I'm not. I'm just jogging. I heard people and was curious, that's all. Plus, I'm not that far from home." as she said that, she waved from the direction she came from, then shrugged. With a frown, and in pretty much the same way the man had talked, she said that again in his language. It seemed to flow pretty well, but she looked at the group, a bit anxious, trying to see if she had been understood or had make some kind of mistake.



Creole: 7d6t5 2

Friday June 14th, 2075 0722, Port Au Lijon, Seattle


The men talk among themselves and there is some of the arm waving you have grown accustomed to from the people of Cajun Town. The man in front turns to you again. "Pardon us. We get very few visitors out this way. Once in a while the hunters from Serenity drop by with some meat and the peddler comes in from upriver twice a year with supplies. Your garb is...................odd, so you must be from quite far away. Is something chasing you that you are running?"

[Cynthia Rawson - 07:22, Saturday June 15th, Port au Lijon, Seattle] #1105

"Chase me?" For a second or two, Cynthia seemed confused. She shook her head though "Oh. No, no, I'm just...jogging? It's just..." She seemed at a loss "Exercise? Sports? To stay in shape? That's why the clothes are weird." She shrugged "By hunters you mean John Amos Hardy and Alyssa Monroe?"

Friday June 14th, 2075 0722, Port Au Lijon, Seattle


The man shakes his head at your words about running, not seeming to truly get the concept. He does nod when you name the hunters. "Yes. They bring us a deer every once in a while and have told us that someone has moved into Serenity. That is the big house you must have passed to get here. Did you notice?"

[Cynthia Rawson - 07:22, Saturday June 15th, Port au Lijon, Seattle] #1106

"Considering that I am that someone who moved in there..." Cynthia shrugged "Or at least one of them, I'd say that I noticed, yeah."

Friday June 14th, 2075 0723, Port Au Lijon, Seattle


Well, that bit of information causes the three men to talk together for a few seconds before the man turns to face you again. "I am sorry. We did not know. John Amos did as say it was three proper young ladies that had moved into the big house. Welcome to Port Au Lijon. Miss. I am Rob Lee."

One of the men behind Rob leans forward and says something in his ear. Rob Lee nods and motions to the wharf behind him. "When do you reckon as to having the cane moving again, Miss?"

[Cynthia Rawson - 07:23, Saturday June 15th, Port au Lijon, Seattle] #1107

"Hum." Cynthia didn't seem convinced "I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be more than seventeen to be a lady and I know plenty of people would object to me being described as proper, especially considering what I'm currently wearing..." she shook her head "Nice to meet you though. I'm Cynthia." She smiled, amused "And finding someone around here who didn't know about me is actually nice to see, so don't beat yourself with that."

She looked at the wharf a bit confused then "The cane? I'm err.. Not sure what you mean. I suppose that's one of the things I wasn't talked about... What is it?"

Friday June 14th, 2075 0723, Port Au Lijon, Seattle


Rob looks puzzled. "The sugar cane from the fields up the Lijon, Miss Cynthia. They have been shut down a powerful long time. When harvested, the cane was brought down here to Port Au Lijon, where it was put on barges and taken to the mill downriver from here."

[Cynthia Rawson - 07:23, Saturday June 15th, Port au Lijon, Seattle] #1108

"Well..." Cynthia clearly seemed a bit lost "Like I said, that's the first time I've ever heard of any of that so I can't give you any answer at the moment but..." She rubbed the side of her neck, as if she were a bit tired "Am I to understand that there are fields belonging to Serenity, among which some are producing cane, and that as the new residents of Serenity, we're supposed to be taking care of that? Too?"
