The stars aren't right!(Helena/Courage Wolf)


Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

*You finally caught up. I though we'd best not linger there in case the people started asking questions about us arriving with you two, so I hired the boat to take us out before that could happen. How are you feeling?* Cindy says, looking at both Helena and Jasmine.

Jasmine seems slightly worried. *You're losing control over your emotions. It didn't happen the first time, because it wasn't really all of you, but now... there's just too much anger in you. It should get easier to control with time.*
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

*We need to do something about it before I do something truly regrettable, or get myself killed... I'm scared.* She said to both of them, fingering the lock on the collar nervously, still entirely nude.

Standing, she moved to the horses, wherever the hell they were, and retrieved some clothing. "Seems I obliterated my armour..." She said sadly.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

*Well, let's start working on that, then,* Jasmine says, apparently oblivious of her nudity. Gesturing Helena to sit down, the older succubus starts running Helena through an exhausting number of meditation exercises, each focused on inner calm. Cindy stays watching for a while before heading below the deck to sleep.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena does her best, finding the exercise difficult behind all the thoughts racing through her head, but eager to try anything that would help before something bad happened, as if it already hadn't. Her flame was still almost beyond her control, the wrath having not been fed and still hungry, trying to lash out at Jasmine even as Helena held it back, focusing on the exercises and wondering what the hell was wrong with her.

Wisdom check DC 15: 17+0=success
The exhausting regimen of exercises continues until sunrise, when some crew members come up and Jasmine has to quickly put on some clothes. They seem to work, soothing the consuming anger within Helena - at least to a degree.

"Do you feel better?"
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena is sweating and shaking by the time they're finished, glad to be more in control without having to dangerously repress herself in the same manner that had led to the last outburst. There was no telling really how bad the next one would be, the last having been near disastrous had Jasmine not been there to seize control of a truly miserable situation.

Looking about, she just hugged Jasmine and shook, both with fatigue and her conflicting emotions. Because no matter what she did, part of her always reached out to the anger that had seen her through some terrible situations, and almost led her to complete ruin twice now...
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Jasmine returns the hug, teasingly running her hands along Helena's sides. "We should probably do this every day, until you get better."
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"If I get better" Helena says a little darkly, pushing further into Jasmine anyway and chuckling, drawing her smell in, which was always beautiful. "That aside, I'm fucking tired" she said sighing, heading down below, alone or with Strike or Jasmine if anyone felt like coming with to pass out.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Jasmine follows Helena, and Strike is already downstairs, waiting in their cabin and glomping Helena when the door is opened. Soon after lying down with Jasmine, Helena passes out.

Several hours later Helena wakes up to find Jasmine and Strike gone.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena curls up with her friends, passing out quickly and dreaming of all consuming fire until she awakes with a start, heading upstairs to find the others, wondering exactly where the hell they were...
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

The others are in the deck, sitting or leaning to the bow of the boat. The boat is still lazily making its way downriver, although faster now that the sails are set and the wind is pushing them along in addition to the currents.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena looks out at the river, finding the scene oddly relaxing as she takes a seat near the front of the boat and just trying to forget yesterday for now, quickly running over one of the exercises and enjoying view. *I take it this was a planned route in the end?* She asked Cindy, not entirely sure herself.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

*The river is the best route down from the mountains.* Cindy answers, turning to look at Helena. Aqua shifts closer to Helena, looking at her curiously before giving a hug.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena gives a mental nod to Cindy before returning Aqua's hug, squeezing her tight before stepping back and relaxing again. It would achieve nothing to dwell on what had happened, so she wouldn't, instead trying to figure out how to get out of this crazy and miserable world one way or another.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

The boat continues in its way for a while before the chef announces lunch to be ready. The food is fried salmon and potatoes, and turns out to be well-made.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena destroys lunch in a healthy fashion much like her usual self, deciding there was fuck all to do about it now, and just get on with things. So she did. Looking around at the others with a raised eyebrow, she thought for a moment. "So... We could play a game, terrorize the villagers, dance, have vigorous sex, slay monsters, or just sit on a boat and eat fish until we arrive, up to you guys" She said snickering.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

The lunch passes peacefully, though Aqua doesn't seem to like the fish very much.

"What game did you have in mind?" Aqua asks from Helena as a cabin boy clears the table.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena thought for a moment, wondering what would entertain all of them for awhile before resigning herself to cards. And then she brightened up a little. "I do believe Cindy has managed to avoid being personal Slave to either of us Jasmine... Lets set some stakes on a game of poker... And... I guess if Aqua wins then we're all lunch on tap for a day" She said sticking out her tongue, fingering the lock on the collar and grinning.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"That doesn't sound fair. How about the winner gets to pick her slave?" Cindy interjects, pulling out the deck and starting to shuffle.
 
Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"OOoooo Not bad Cindy..." Helena said smiling. Waiting for the cards to begin and the high stakes game to get under way, clothing being the usual standard of course.
