007 | [ video ] Curse: Handcuffed for a day - backdated to morning

[byherscore]

[ Diva's profile appears on the screen, a pleased smile on her face as she drapes across something, something solid, something…

Grey? ]

Don't bother looking for me. I'll be busy-- [ She hissed at the rasp of razor sharp hair against her skin as the man underneath her groaned. His shift caused her wrist to bleed underneath the handcuff. He was made out of stone. But she didn't mind. Not at all. In fact, she practically breathed his name as she leaned forward, whispering. ] Zelgadis... Remember me?

[ and then she dropped the phone as she bent to kiss his mouth, his muffled protest hot on her lips before a sudden crash is heard and a yell of protest as they both crash to the ground, bound together.

And then there's only laughter as Diva's voice rings through the air. This curse, she didn't mind at all. ]

((ooc: Responses likely to come from both Diva and Zelgadis!))

[Kissing! And the woman seems playful, too. So there's only one conclusion Tohru has.]

Mister Zelgadis, did you get married?!

[conglomeration]

[It's only after a significant struggle (which he's losing, dear gods what is this woman?) that Zelgadis snatches up his device in hopes of obtaining some help out of this mess.]

Married?! Are you crazy? I barely know her! I just woke up attached to her! [Between being out of breath, blushing horribly, and generally looking freaked out he certainly isn't projecting anything close to wedded bliss.]

[riceballfruit]

Oh.... [She looks downcast, wondering how could she have thought that? Clearly he's in distress. She should do something about it. But what?]

Do you need help, Mister Zelgadis. [Because now that she thinks about it, isn't that Miss Diva? Whom she...sort of works for? Technically, Nathan pays her. But Diva lives there.]

I think I know where you're at.

[Does he need help -- now there's a question. On one hand YES PLEASE HELP DEAR GODS! On the other... what could a girl whose primary weapons are sunshine and happiness possibly do other than bear witness to him getting manhandled by Diva? Unless...]

You know this woman?

[He gasps, then scowls at something off camera and Diva giggles in response.]

[ oh, it's the little girl she's seen scurrying all over the place. What was her name again... ]

Tohru?

[ she laughed ] Shouldn't you be working? [ perhaps Karl would like a snack. At least it'd keep him from Saya for a minute or two. His obsession is... rather cute, but old. He needs a new one. ]

[Now she recognizes her.]

Miss Diva!

[WORK!]

[Cue panic mode.] I was just concerned about Mister Zelgadis, as he seems uncomfortable. But yes, I should be working, and I'm terribly sorry I stopped.

I'll get right back to work, just as soon as I know he's all right!

[byherscore]

[ she practically purrs to the screen as she averts her eyes, giving Zelgadis the full once over ]

Oh, he's fine. I'm only playing.

[ and if she'd like to keep him for more then a day, well... that was her dilemma. Not Tohru's.

[worldofourown]

.......Zelgdis?

[ There might be a hint of jealousy coloring his tone. ]

[conglomeration]

[There's a rather significant struggle, most of which is audible but off-camera. When he can manage to free his mouth (what is this woman doing to some guy she barely knows?? WHAT HAPPENED TO PROPER COURTESY?!) he's mostly asking what the hell went on and who captured him and demanding she stop touching him already.]

[He finally claws his way to the device and his disposition is not improved by what he presumes is an accusation.]

Don't even think it. I would have left immediately if I wasn't attached to her!

[worldofourown]

[ That outburst gets a crooked eyebrow. Diva has landed herself an ingrate. But it's better than the alternative, ]

...Is that right? In your position, I'd be thanking my lucky stars.

[conglomeration]

Why am I not surprised you'd enjoy this? Feel free to figure out a way to take my place.

[So dryly -- but his deadpan is interrupted by a very uncomfortable squirm and he bats at Diva while hissing "I said to stop that!!"]

[byherscore]

[ and no words for Diva? She's hurt. But then again, she is rather occupied for the moment. ]

[worldofourown]

[ He always has words for his Queen ♥ ]

He's not being too impertinent, is he?

[byherscore]

[ she almost didn't respond. almost ] It's nothing. He's being almost cute.

[ all that protest hasn't stopped making her laugh once. Whoever met such a shy boy before? Especially one as... worldly as Zelgadis appeared on the surface. He's perfect. ]

[favoritesomething]

[Quite happy to be out of her reach considering his toy status.]

[byherscore]

[ oh, but Solomon, dearest, she'd only maim you a little ♥ ]

[Raikov's so glad it isn't him. He does not pity Zelgadis at all.]

... I'll assume you're alright, Miss Diva.

[conglomeration]

[Hey! He's the victim here, thank you very much!]

You have to be kidding. [He finally managed to snatch up his device, and is quite obviously flustered and disheveled and generally shellshocked.] She's acting like she enjoys this! [He clearly disagrees. Vehemently!]

And who the hell ties two people who barely know each other together? What kind of a place is this?!

[majorcrotchgrab]

Welcome to the City, lizard boy.

[Because that's what you look like to him, Zel]

[byherscore]

[ as if her laughter as Zelgadis struggles isn't answer enough... but she does deign to answer. After all, Raikov is Raikov. ]

Of course, but you shouldn't worry. Worry can kill.

[ And then Nathan would be all alone again. The thought merits consideration. ]

[majorcrotchgrab]

I'm not worried.

[action] Warning for potential dubcon of as-yet-unknown rating!

[conglomeration]

[Zelgadis squirms and tries to hold himself as far away from Diva as he can, attached at the wrist as they are. She's not making it easy!]

H-how did I get here? [And WHY DOES SHE KEEP TOUCHING HIM?!]

[action]

[byherscore]

[ she scoots ever closer, twining her leg around his ]

It's a curse. Does it matter?

[ she noses softly into his shoulder, luxuriating at the roughness. What the perfect thing to wake up to this morning. ]

[action]

[conglomeration]

[All ready to insist that of course it matters!!!, her logic stops him. Because really, it doesn't.]

[What does matter is that he's taken to sleeping without a shirt, not having found a good sleeping shirt yet that can handle his skin, and believing his privacy would be more or less intact. A habit that ends tomorrow.]

[Zelgadis squirms as her leg coils around him and her face nuzzles his shoulder. His nerves make the sensation faint but his adrenaline amplifies it tenfold, causing a rising heat in his face.] Y-you can't actually be happy about this!
