Event Catch-all Post

Who: Natasha Romanoff Liddell and [OPEN] to whoever wants her in human form or leopard.
Where: Around the mansion and the grounds
When: the duration of the event
Rating: Anywhere from PG to ??? (depending on if she reverts to human on any of you)
Summary: Natasha's cursed with the Spirit of Leopard.
The Story:

[Option 1: Natasha]
Natasha falls somewhere in the middle generation of Liddell cousins and siblings that inhabit the mansion. She's not one of the most social of them either, preferring to be more solitary like the animal spirit she was cursed with. That doesn't mean she doesn't still keep tabs on family members and keep an eye on the happenings around the mansion, just that she's usually fairly subtle about it. For a few years when she was younger, she traveled the world to see what she could see, but in recent years, she's been more than content to stay home, around her family, for whatever she might be needed for. Family's important to her, despite the fact that there's so many of them and she might not be the best at showing it sometimes.

Most days (or nights, as she's known to have a nocturnal streak) she can usually be found wandering, or possibly curled up somewhere comfortable with a book or a companion. If you spot her alone, feel free to come join her or lure her out into into some fun. Despite her occasional aloof manner or cool stare, she does have a mischievous playful side that shows up at unexpected moments.

[Option 2: Leopard]
In a house with so many people inside its walls, its inevitable that sooner or later collisions occur. Natasha's not usually overly worried about this - she understands the need to keep their curse a secret and faithfully endeavors to do so but accidents happen and unlike some of her relatives, she's just as comfortable in her cursed form as she is in her human one.

It's why she doesn't sweat it too much if she does accidentally bump into someone nearby - she's good at vanishing out of sight quickly if need be, and there are plenty of shadowy heights to perch in out of sight. Sometimes this plays out to her advantage, especially if she's feeling particularly bored or playful. Not everyone in the mansion is very good at staying aware of their surroundings when there are predators looking to pounce.

((OOC: This is Natasha's catch-all post for the event. Feel free to pick either option, if you want to interact with her as human or in her leopard form, or even both, if your character's inclined to trigger her transformation in some way. I'm up for anything!))

"Could be," he agrees, swimming out even further, now that he's had a chance to acclimate to the water. It's not too cold, which is a relief, and after a moment, he submerges for a few seconds before resurfacing, shaking his head back and forth for a moment.

"It's hard to tell," he muses. Since it's dark, it's difficult to accurately assess that. "Maybe fifteen feet?"

The nice thing is, now that they've discovered it, they can come here whenever they want, as often as they want. A secret place, just for them. It might even be fun to camp here some evenings, in their human form.

Robin dips beneath the water again, then tries to spin a little, surfacing completely and shaking his rear end enthusiastically. "Aren't you glad I dragged you out here, cousin?"
alionsheart: (we've certainly earned it;)

Robin can feel himself close to shifting again as well, and he looks back at her, then ducks beneath the surface himself. The water makes it more comfortable somehow, and like his cousin, he imagines, it gives him an extra moment to just get his bearings.

When he resurfaces, he rubs a hand over his face, smirking over at her. "Certainly not the worst I've seen."
alionsheart: (I do hope I haven't upset you;)

He truly does love being in his animal form, but there are also many benefits to being back in his human form; the water, for one, feels much more pleasant on skin than it does on fur. And he fully intends to indulge in this experience as long as possible.

With a look of mock offense, he splashes back at her. "Careful. This isn't a game you can win, cousin."

He cups his hands beneath the water, then pauses as though to tease her. In the next moment, he splashes the water fiercely in her direction, laughing as he does. "I'll certainly try to beat you, though..."
alionsheart: (perhaps another time;)

She gets quite a few points for that maneuver, because he wasn't expecting that at all. Though surprised, the moment he's underwater, he's trying to pounce and grab her, engaging in a sort of playful tug-of-war with each other's limbs. They really need to do this more often, he thinks.

If he were with anyone else right now, he might be more concerned with modesty, but this is Natasha, and he can't care less, really. So he finally relents and swims over towards a large rock, propping up on it to see a bit in the distance. "Looks like more of the same. Should we stay here for a while?"
alionsheart: (a bit of daytime drinking;)

[personal profile] alionsheart 2014-08-04 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
"i honestly don't know that we should tell too many people about this place," he decides, stretching out on the rock a bit, taking a deep, contented breath. He wants this to be their place, somewhere they can go, either separately or together, when they need time away from everything and everyone else.
alionsheart: (perhaps another time;)

"Only a few, and only when it's worth it," he tosses a grin over his shoulder at her. "I don't want this place ruined by people who wouldn't appreciate it the way we do."
alionsheart: (start all over again;)

[personal profile] alionsheart 2014-08-07 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
He's quiet for a few moments, then decides he wants to be in the water again, so he carefully dives beneath the surface. When he comes up for air, he says, "I can't think of any reason why."
alionsheart: (do more than just get by;)

[personal profile] alionsheart 2014-08-07 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, there are a few cousins who might be glad for my absence, if only a few hours," he grins, obviously amused with the thought. Although he knows he's quite well-liked among the family.

"Not you, of course. I know better."
alionsheart: (a little risque;)

[personal profile] alionsheart 2014-08-10 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
He knew there was a reason he adored Natasha so much. And he responds with a bright smirk, dipping beneath the water to wet his head again.

"They are, which is why we need a hideaway like this. A place that none of them knows about."
