Reunion with Warlocke (by Shara)

an ic post for a change!  Go, me!
---------


Warlocke is home.  We are home.


So much has happened....


Nearly a year ago, Warlocke was given to me as a companion - a gift from H'Ress, because I hated to sleep alone/be alone.  She took her own DNA, modified it to my requests, and created Warlocke to be with me since she was (at that time) spending a lot of time in the Mirror Universe and wasn't around as much as she wanted to be.


In the beginning, Warlocke was a quadruped.  I got him as a cub.

He was so cute!


But he wasn't a pet.  He was sentient.  He was a companion.  H'Ress had created two bonds with us: telepathic and genetic (although I didn't fully understand about the second at first).


And he was wonderful.  He stayed with me almost all the time.  He was the best companion, because he knew my thoughts.  He loved me, wanted me to be happy.


He grew quickly and was huge.

About 10 feet long/tall once he was grown, weighing 900+ pounds.


He was my companion 


He lived with me and Jard (Count Dooku) on the ship, and then on Serenno.  


And then....Jard went on a business trip....and never returned.


I took the loss hard.  It was a very dark time for me.  H'Ress even came to get me and bring me to NavKor/Tynnara because she was worried about me.  Warlocke was worried, too.


Then Warlocke had a request of H'Ress.  He wanted to become a biped.  He felt that becoming a biped would help him to become a better companion.  


The transformation was....remarkable.

He was still tall - 8' 4", which is a couple of inches taller than H'Ress. 


Seeing him in his bipedal form for the first time....hearing him speak....his voice was deep, rich and warm....I can't even put into words how it felt when he puts his arms around me....held me....


We stayed as we had been....friends, companions....nothing intimate.  I was still so hesitant, even though he was willing to me my...mate.  Very willing.  I didn't realize it, but H'Ress had "imprinted" my DNA on him.  Basically....he views me as the ideal mate.  


He went through his first rut while we were on a mission.  And...one thing led to another...and... *blushes green* I became his mate.


It never occurred to us that we could actually conceive, but we could.  And did.  (Thanks, H'Ress for making sure we were genetically compatible for breeding!  That was a hint of sarcasm, by the way.)


I became pregnant.  It was a shock, but we were happy about it.


Then came the speeder accident.  I was injured severely.  I lost the cubs.   Miscarried.


We both took it hard, but Warlocke seemed to take it especially hard.  He worked more and more.  Took long-term missions.  Then....stopped checking in with me.  


I thought he was angry with me, blamed me somehow for the loss of the cubs.


He was gone for months.  I was heartbroken, but figured that I needed to move on somehow.


While he was gone, I was with Jared.  Even married Jared.  And then....became a widow the same day when he was killed.


And then....a week or so ago....I met Davidov.  


Things moved quickly with Davidov.  He and I became intimate.  And he was my Master.  In a voluntary sense.  He asked and I accepted.  I belonged to him.  I gave myself willingly.


But then I found out that Warlocke was in trouble, and I realized that he hasn't been in contact because he was in trouble.  That maybe....he wasn't angry with me.  I hoped so, anyway.


I told Davidov that I had to help H'Ress find Warlocke.  He volunteered to help, too, which was very sweet of him.


We found Warlocke, and although he was weak and injured, he was alive.  We came back to the Orion Defiance, and are now back in Boss' house.  


I belonged to both Warlocke and Davidov - but in very different ways.  


Davidov was my Master.  It was voluntary.  He asked and I said yes.  Because of my background, the Master/slave relationship is a familiar one.  A comforting one.  But I knew he didn't love me, nor I him.  A fondness, yes, but not love.


With Warlocke....it was belonging in an entirely different sense.  We are bonded, both with a telepathic and a genetic link.  He loves me dearly, and I love him.  He was created for me.  He and H'Ress are my family, and they always have been.  I belong to him in the sense that we love each other and are forever connected - even if not together in the same room at that moment.


While Warlocke would never insist on monogamy for me....there is no way I can belong to both men.  Because of the nature of ownership with Davidov, there would have come a time when I would have to make some kind of choice between them.  


In my mind, there was no hesitation:  I chose Warlocke.  I no longer belong to Davidov.  


And so now....we are together again.  With Boss.  And H'Ress.  


Once again....my family is complete.

The Loss of a Character/Player (OOC Post)

OOC Post about Role playing on Twitter and RL stuff.


Recently, one of the main characters in the Liberty II RPG was killed off:  Jared Stone.


This was a great character, IMHO, and lots of followers loved to hate our favorite captain. 


However, real life gets in the way, and it is always more important than RP.  


Was it difficult, rewriting an RP with THE main person gone?  Absolutely.


But, in the end, I think the storyline is even stronger than before.  I am very pleased with how things are going, and followers are already very receptive to the new characters and plots.


Plus, the player behind Jared Stone is happier with things this way, and he has given his stamp of approval on the new storyline, which he will be following.


All's well that ends well?  Indeed.  

Reunited - Shara and Jared

This is a scene originally RPed on Twitter (10/3/10)

Jared: ~comms @SharaTheOrion~ Shara? I'm ready if you are. I'm on the holodeck.

Shara: *comms* @_Jared_Stone Be right there. *smiles, has herself beamed to the Liberty II, appears near you* Hey, stranger.

Jared: ~smiles~ Hey, baby. ~gestures to the scene behind us on the Holodeck~ [ http://tinyurl.com/26h5jbl] Dinner awaits. ~smiles~

Shara: *eyes widen as she takes in the scene*  Oh....my. This is....beautiful. *looks at you*

Jared: ~smiles~ Glad you like it. Shall we? ~takes your hand, leads you to a chair, pulls it out for you and waits for you to sit~

Shara: *sits, looking around, still a little stunned*

Jared: ~gently pushes your chair in, then sits, smiling~ I made your favorites. ~chuckles~ Well, replicated them. ~grins~

Shara:  *grins* Looks great. Thank you. *starts eating* So....how is business, anyway? How are things?

Jared:  ~pouring wine for us both~ It's good. ~pause~ It's a lot different being the captain and not just the pilot. ~chuckles~

Shara: *grins* I'll bet. *sips her wine* Good different or bad different?

Jared:  ~chuckles~ Mostly good, other than a few extra headaches. ~looks at you~ How about you? How do you like NavKor?

Shara:  *smiles, shrugs* I like it. Beautiful planet, good pay, nice work conditions. *sips her wine*

Jared:  ~smirks~...........................but? ~sips his wine, watching you~

Shara: *shrugs* It gets a little....routine, sometimes.

Jared:  ~sips his wine, eyes gleaming over his glass~ I can offer you more excitement. Join my crew. ~grins, drinks more wine~

Shara:  *laughs* I can't. I told you that. Not on a full-time basis, anyway. *eating, sips her wine*

Jared:  ~grins~ That's a start. ~eating his meal, smiles~ How do you like the ship?

Shara:  *smiles* I love it. Looks almost exactly like the old Liberty. Brings back *pauses, looks away* memories.

Jared:  ~softly, nods~ Ya......brings back memories. ~looks at you, voice deepens a bit~ So does seeing you.

Shara:  *doesn't look at you, just sips her wine, not sure what to say*

Jared:  ~finishes his meal, refills both of our glasses, then sits back in his chair~ What are you thinking? ~sips his wine~

Shara:  *softly* About that first night on the ship that you were well enough to walk on your own.....and we danced....*smiles*

Jared:  ~nods, chuckles~ I remember. ~smiles~ You still wouldn't clear me for duty, but I could at least walk around.

Shara:  *soft laugh* You were in no shape to fly. You know that. *sips her wine, smiling*

Jared:  ~chuckles~ No argument there. ~sets his wine down, stands and smiles~ Dance with me?

Shara:  *blushes green, sets her wine down and stands* Of course. I'd love to. *smiles up at you*

Jared:  ~puts his arms around your waist, dancing to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV8vB1BB2qc&ob=av2e with you, singing softly~

Shara:  *soft laugh* We danced to this that first night. You remembered. *grins up at you, arms around your neck, dancing*

Jared:  ~laughs~ No, we didn't. You blushed and walked off, remember? ~still dancing, singing softly to you~

Shara:  *laughs* You're right! I forgot about that part. *soft giggle* I left once I heard the words...

Jared:  ~nods, smiling~ That you did. ~song changes to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yx3d9t4C50g, dances and sings softly to you~

Shara:  *dances with you, looking up at you, whispers* Jared.....why are you doing this?

Jared:  ~softly, looking down at you as we dance~ Because I still love you.

Shara:  *voice choked with emotion* Jared.....things can't be the way they were....I've changed....

Jared:  ~stops dancing, holding you close and looks down at you, whispers~ I'm not asking for things to be the way they were. I'm asking for a fresh start. Let me win you over again. ~gently brushes the hair from your eyes~

Shara:  *tears forming, spilling over her cheeks* Jared....I could never be faithful to you...I'm not like that now...

Jared:  ~gently brushes your tears away, voice soft~ You were faithful to me before. You could be again. ~cups your chin, tilts your face to look him in the eyes~ I think the reason why you go from bed to bed is because you're trying to find something you don't have. ~pause, whispers~ Something *we* had, a long time ago.

Shara:  *swallows, whispers* I...*pause* I don't know....how to answer that.

Jared:  ~gently strokes your hair, your face~ I'm just asking that you give me a chance. ~softly~ Shara, I don't just want you in my bed. I want to win your heart again. ~leans down, gently kisses you~ I am just asking for a chance to do that.

Shara:  *swallows hard, trying not to cry* Yes, you can try....I just....can't make any promises, Jared...

Jared:  ~smiles, whispers~ I'm not asking for any promises. ~strokes your cheek~

Shara:  *smiles, nuzzles into your touch* So.....what now?

Jared:  ~smiles~ Your choice. Stay with me tonight, or go back home. ~grins~ I'll be a gentleman, I swear.

Shara:  *softly* I'll....I'll stay.

Jared: ~smiles, takes your hand~ I was hoping you would. ~leads you to his quarters, goes in, hands you one of his shirts~ I can find a pair of sweats, too, if you want. You know, to sleep in. ~goes in the bathroom, changes into pajama pants~

Shara: *blinks* So......we really are going to just...............sleep? *confused look*

Jared:  ~chuckles, gets into bed~ Yes. ~more serious~ I told you. I don't want to be one of the crowd. I want your heart.

Shara:  *changes into the shirt - which hangs past her knees, climbs into bed, snuggles close* Okay then.

Jared:  ~smiles, pulls you close~ I've missed this.....more than you'll ever know. ~kisses softly~ Good night. 

Shara:  *snuggles close, closes her eyes* Good night. *falls asleep*
