ep-1
The moon hangs high in the inky sky, illuminating Lucian's sprawling estate, a modern mansion with sleek lines and dark glass that reflects the silver glow. Inside, the air is thick with tension, punctuated by the faint sound of classical music playing from the grand piano. Shadows dance across the walls, hinting at secrets hidden within.
Everyone gathered at Lucian's estate for a monthly meeting of the supernatural council, a clandestine gathering where influential beings from various supernatural factions discuss matters affecting their world.
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
*Leaning against the grand piano, arms crossed*
Ah, Selena, uninvited as always. Are you trying to keep my heart racing?
Selena Ravenscroft (Fl)
*Smirking, hands on hips*
Well, I thought it was either that or the vodka. Guess I’ll have to test both.
Dorian Valmont (fl's friend)
*Entering the room with a smirk* Vodka? You’re such a lightweight, Selena. You should try something stronger
Selena Ravenscroft (Fl)
*Raising an eyebrow*
And what, pray tell, would that be? Blood?
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
*chuckling*
Careful, Dorian. She might take that as an invitation.
Dorian Valmont (fl's friend)
Oh, I wouldn’t be surprised. Selena does love a good thrill
Selena Ravenscroft (Fl)
Guilty as charged. But Dorian, you know I have a taste for the finer things
Dorian Valmont (fl's friend)
And by finer things, you mean chaos and fire?
Selena Ravenscroft (Fl)
You catch on quickly. Perhaps there’s hope for you yet
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
*Sighing dramatically*
I was hoping for a quiet evening. Is that too much to ask?
Kane Blackwood (ml's friend)
*Striding in, arms crossed*
Quiet? With these two? You must be dreaming, Lucian.
Selena Ravenscroft (Fl)
*grinning*
See? Even Kane knows it’s hopeless.
Kane Blackwood (ml's friend)
Honestly, I’m surprised you’re still standing, Lucian. I’d expect you to be sulking in a dark corner.
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
I do have my moments of brooding, but I save those for special occasions.
Dorian Valmont (fl's friend)
Well, then let’s make tonight special. How about a game?
Selena Ravenscroft (Fl)
A game? Now you’re speaking my language. What’s the stake?
Kane Blackwood (ml's friend)
What’s the game? I’m in, as long as it doesn’t involve burning my hair off again
once they had a fight and Selena lost the control on her power and burnt everything
Selena Ravenscroft (Fl)
That was one time, Kane! And it was an accident.
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
An accident that left a permanent mark, if I recall correctly
Kane Blackwood (ml's friend)
You could say that. I’ve since opted for shorter styles
Dorian Valmont (fl's friend)
*chuckling*
Shorter styles suit you, Kane. More aerodynamic for dodging Selena’s flames.
Selena Ravenscroft (Fl)
I’ll have you know my flames are very controlled. Mostly
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
Controlled chaos. That’s a nice way to put it."
Selena Ravenscroft (Fl)
Exactly! It keeps life interesting
Dorian Valmont (fl's friend)
So, what game are we playing? I propose truth or dare—supernatural edition
Kane Blackwood (ml's friend)
Sounds dangerous. I’m in. What are the rules?
Selena Ravenscroft (Fl)
Simple: no boring truths, and dares must involve actual risk. None of this ‘I dare you to sing’ nonsense
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
I like this version. Let's see how brave you all really are
Dorian Valmont (fl's friend)
I’m always brave. I’ll go first. Lucian, truth or dare?
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
*smirking*
Dare, obviously. Let’s spice things up.
Dorian Valmont (fl's friend)
I dare you to call Isabella and ask her on a date
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
*Raising an eyebrow*
You’re cruel, Dorian. I’m still recovering from the last time she visited.
Selena Ravenscroft (Fl)
I’d pay to see that. Do it, Lucian!
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
Fine. But if I end up cursed again, I’m holding you responsible
Kane Blackwood (ml's friend)
This is going to be good. Don’t forget to record it.
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
*Grabbing his phone*
Alright, let’s make this entertaining.
*he dials Isabella’s number*
Isabella Thornhart (fl's mentor)
*Answering, her voice sultry*
Lucian, darling. To what do I owe the pleasure?
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
*Forcing a smile*
Ah, Isabella. I was wondering if you’d like to join me for dinner… perhaps tomorrow night?
Isabella Thornhart (fl's mentor)
*teasing*
Dinner? With you? I’m intrigued. Are you sure you can handle my company?
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
I’m sure I can handle you… most days
Selena Ravenscroft (Fl)
*whispering*
Is he flirting or trying to keep his head attached?
Dorian Valmont (fl's friend)
A bit of both, I think
Kane Blackwood (ml's friend)
He looks like he’s going to combust
Isabella Thornhart (fl's mentor)
*chuckling*
Well, Lucian, I’m available. I can bring the fire if you promise not to douse it.
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
Deal. Just don’t burn down the estate. Again.
Selena Ravenscroft (Fl)
*mumbling*
That would be the third time, wouldn’t it?
Isabella Thornhart (fl's mentor)
Only if you give me a reason, love. You know I thrive on chaos
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
I seem to attract chaos. Perhaps I should invest in fire extinguishers
Isabella Thornhart (fl's mentor)
Or just keep a supply of marshmallows. I’d love to roast them over the flames.
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
Next time, I’ll make sure to have a bonfire ready.
Isabella Thornhart (fl's mentor)
Okay love got something to do
bye
Lucian Devereaux (ML)
*uff*
Bye
*disconnect the call*
Kane Blackwood (ml's friend)
*snorting*
Well, that went better than expected. Who's next?
