  • 19 April 2015 -- Niwa is under new management!

    Niwa is now under new management as we strive to stand up the the standards of fun and entertaining roleplaying we have so far provided here at Niwa. Today makes the start of a campaign to bring in new members as Head Admin Akaiken and Support Admin Sparky work together to improve and uphold the current face of Niwa and keep us all moving forward!

They said this was a city for our kind, they said it was a safe haven from the rest of the world. This was suppose to be the city where we where safe from regular humans. But, in a city where Meta-Humans run rampant, is there such thing as safety? When taking what you want is as simple as waving your hand, or closing your eyes, how can there be law? In this city, the truth is there is only one source of law, and that are the different criminal organizations that have formed all around us. The only order is that of the darkest part of humanity, of criminal organizations where the strong thrive while the weak gasp for air. This is Niwa Nights.. This is our home.

Can you survive it?

Not a Date; Jon(?) & Shae

Shae looked into her pathetic excuse for a wardrobe, everything in there looked like her uniform, or near enough to. Only the charcoal and red fur lined coat she had screamed civilian clothing. It was just dinner ~ somehow that reminder did not make picking something to wear that she was not going to freeze to death in any easier.

A complete lack of wardrobe on top of the awkward shower scene the day before. She could still feel her stomach knot over that. After having seen her completely naked all of her scars and how damn shy she had been... why couldn’t she be like Lyn? Tall, beautiful, confident... instead she was, well.

Just dinner with a friend.

She may actually throw up... she shouldn’t have been this nervous. But he hadn’t said anything to her afterwards. Which meant he had not cancelled their dinner date. “White or blue?” Shae asked holding up the only two tops that didn’t scream librarian to Xander. Realising for the first time the cub had passed out a while ago.

“White it is.” She chuckled at the sleeping lion. The top had open shoulders and sleeves that came all the way down over her hands, more importantly over her scars. The loose legged dress pants swirled around her legs and she tried not to bump the bed as she pulled on her leather boots with two inch high heels. She had learned early on when it came to dress ups that she had no talent for walking in heels. No matter how incredible they made her legs look. Besides, it was boot weather out there. Losing her toes to frostbite was not really an option.

Standing in front of the tiny mirror on her wall she pulled her hair up, only to let it fall down around her shoulders again. This ritual went on for a minute or so before she finally decided to leave it down. Not working... that was the whole theme she was going with. Her long black hair falling down her back was definitely not business Shae. Make up was right up there with high heels in the ‘stuff Shae knew nothing about catagory’ but she managed to apply eyeliner and mascara... she even tried applying it to her eyes as well as her lashes.

Note to self: Don’t do that again.

She was ready... half an hour early. What kind of strange breed of woman was she ~ right when her phone dinged with an incoming message. It was like someone had sucked the excitement out of the room... she groaned pretending not to hear the phone. Which was an excellent idea, until it dinged a second time. She had enough time, god she hoped she had enough time... picking the phone up her eyes feel on the message. She was expecting the worst. For it to be some crisis downtown that she needed to fix.

This was supposed to be her night!

He gently raised his left arm for her to take. “Then close your eyes... And I will guide you.” His voice echoed of chivalry and noble qualities, Brit had been practicing after all. He liked being in control, being able to watch for the right moment before taking advantage of the situation. But it was more than that, being in control meant others would not walk all over him, it meant he could stand up and be the only one accountable for his life. His choices, no one else’s. No memory of his parents to disgrace.

He would wait for her response, with a warm demeanour that suggested he would be just as happy to stand out in the car park all night with her. Anything it took to give her the sense of trust, to let her know that she could drop her guard and it would not matter... To him it would matter, he had to know she was happy, to know she had something to fight for... Even if it was a ploy.

But she was beginning to seem less like a sheep, less like the mewling quim’s of society who think they were better than him. Maybe she was worth could be useful to him... She could be shattered from her current form, and moulded like glass into something more suitable. His features had not changed from the proverbial knight in shining armour, much to his own surprise.

If she would have taken his offered arm he gave into a smile. ‘Like rat bait to a hungry mouse.’ Ah, it was the little things in life... That was until he felt her against him, touching his arm, holding onto him... ‘Was she looking? No? Good...’ So, not only was she a Meta, but now a meta that held onto him, like she cared or something... His casual walking pace would have been a little slower to accommodate to the fact Shae could not see where she was going. But he would have warned her about every step, and given a slight laugh to moments of almost tripping, it was almost fun. The solid wharf ran for twenty or so meters as the building sat unchanged for countless years and generations alike. Hell even the music sounded like it was from the fifty’s.

Wait, this isn’t him... She is not holding onto Brit McAlister, no! You fool you are being duped by your own illusion!.. This is Jon fucking Nottingham. He would have shot you too... You know him, you met him... So what are you going to do about it?.. He stumbled slightly as he could hear the music and few people inside. This was his guarded secret, the one place he could relax and be himself normal. And he was going to share it with... Her? The girl that shot him? ‘Quick, just snap her neck and like it was an accident...’

Ah, really? Was that your whole plan?

It was too late now, they were already walking past a few tables and chairs. “You can open your eyes now.” His voice dipped softly as he held his conflicted emotions at bay... Yet he still held onto her arm, like it was his anchor.

Raising his left arm? Like it was a formal dance kind of evening and she had forgotten the steps. Was he serious? ... He was serious! They weren’t butterflies in her stomach anymore, they seemed to have elevated to her rib cage and were making it hard to breathe. Totally just the cold night air! Right... And he just stood there waiting for her to take his arm. Trying to swallow the butterflies down she laced her arm up around his, closing her eyes. They were only closed for a heartbeat before she opened them again looking up at him feeling awkward and foolish. Clamping her teeth onto her bottom lip she closed her eyes again, a little harder this time.

The moment her eyesight was gone every other sense seemed to pick up. Her hearing, the brush of the frozen air as she stepped next to him, at one moment falling into him completely with resulted in a sudden pearl of laughter ~ but she never once opened her eyes clinging to him the whole time.

They had not travelled far but to Shae’s sensory deprivation it felt like they had walked the entire length of the boardwalk and back again. She could hear the music and children laughing, there were even a few in stereo as they ran around the pair of police officers ~ not that there was anything that gave away what Shae was. Jon taking off his badge did not detract from the image of the model police officer he was. He was a shining pillar of all the NCPD should have stood for, even if the first moment she met him had been slamming some punks face into the desk in front of her.

When he told her to open her eyes it was almost as though he didn’t want to. The moment she opened her eyes it would mean she didn’t have a reason to clutch onto his arm. But slowly the ice cream parlour came into view, it was little more than a stall with tables and chairs surrounding it looking over the edge into the waterfront. She had been here as a child, with her parents... for her tenth birthday, it was the only thing she wanted to do. Had he been sweet talking Vi into giving up her secrets? Did it matter? The sound of children laughing made sense now. At least five families were seated around the tables with children of all ages running around in and out of the tables in an endless game of chase which you needed to be 7 years old to know who was tagged and who wasn’t.

The chuckle which escaped her was warm and completely heartfelt. Looking up into his crimson eyes she nudged into his side slightly. “I was not expecting this.” Surprised? Completely, but her tone suggested she could completely go with it.

It was her reaction that cemented the smile that ran along his features. It was like Brit to skip a main meal and head straight to dessert, he had his priorities. One of them remained with giving the Police Girl a good time, and it was not time to let his other side(s) out. No he had purpose, to teach her in the ways of how amazing this ice cream truly was. And to kill her, but all will come in time.

“But you cannot deny it...”
His tone suggested a sincere humour in his words as he looked down to her, he searched for her eyes, already knowing there was no confliction in her thoughts with what she said. But it was to visually confirm the smile that she may have had on her warm lips.

His eyes glanced up to the menu board before musing on what he would like. “Can I grab a sundae in a waffle bowl, with shaved almonds, sprinkles and choc- Just all the trimmings all of it, go nuts... And a boysenberry scoop on top, thanks Mario.” His casual demeanour and knowledge of anything on the board may have suggested this is a regular haunt, let alone knowing the elderly gentleman who accepted anything he said with a smile and slight nod. ”Ha. No worries me’boy, now what’ill the lovely lady ave?” There was nothing rough around the edges of the tone in which he spoke, it was his natural slang of an American accent perfected over the years. He squinted slightly as he gave a pleasant smile to her.

Brit Jon followed Mario’s gaze to see what was interested in ordering, if anything he hinted to the waffle bowl, it was delicious. There was no way he would choose for her though, it was anything and everything she want- Jon dropped slightly as he felt a little someone crash into the back of his leg. It was only at this point when he relented control of her arm and knelt down to the little tyke before asking the standard “Are you alright there big guy?” His tone echoed concern for the boy, who looked to be no older than three, yet casual enough to get a response with a quick nod of his head and a beaming smile before running off before he could ask anything else, wait, did that mean... Oh NO!

He stood up slowly as concern marred his perfect features. “I... I think I’m it.” His voice echoed with false concern as he smiled to himself, and then to Shae. Oh yes, it would have been so easy to subject her to tickle torture and have her in fits of laugh--- Wait!... Remember that you want to kill her, and not by the tickling!.. Scrub. There was no harm in idle fantasies, sure he was capable of malice and slaughter, but there was a man underneath who had feelings...

“And you without your badge and gun.” Shae chuckled, looking at the children. Somehow she doubted the three year old was actually it. He was probably just running around trying to keep up with the bigger kids. Watching Jon with the boy was heart melting endearing. She was all ready to turn into a puddle when he smiled at her... somehow the idea of eating ice cream was not that appealing. She loved ice cream, but she wasn’t sure the butterflies would let her keep it down.

Smiling brightly towards Mario she seemed to look at the menu board forever. “Can I get a hot chocolate with marshmallows, whipped cream and extra chocolate flakes all over the top.” It was probably going to result in a diabetic coma, but she had to die of something. A sugar induced death on a non date dinner without any actual dinner with Jon was as good a way as any to check out.

There was no argument about paying. Shae was independent, but she wasn’t going to make Jon uncomfortable by insisting on paying for her own dinner. If she had invited him, then maybe. Instead of standing in the way of the next 10 year old customer she slipped away and found an empty table and chairs for two. Sitting with her back to the other customers and looking out over the waterfront, she started to relax.

She had been feeling tense about the whole evening since Jon had walked into her shower. But he hadn’t said a word about it. Nothing, not a single hint, innuendo... not even an apology. She had no idea what happened after she ran out of there. He could have been washing Lyn’s ... yeah, nice. There goes her overactive imagination again. It wasn’t fair... why couldn’t Shae have looked like a Greek Goddess, like the multimillionaire he had her pull up on the system. Or even the beautiful Blonde Amazon that was Lyn.

Why in the world would he have asked her out?

Brit Jon watched as she took her time reading through the menu, and gave a slight nod as he accepted her desire to choose something warmer, there was nothing wrong with hot chocolate and the fact she ordered something other than plain hot chocolate gave him the sense that there was hope for her yet... Yet? Where did that come from?

Funnily enough Brit did not think twice about paying for the two of them, in fact this was the first time he found himself in this situation. Had he accepted and assumed the role so easily? Even as he passed over the cash for the dessert, there was no illusion. No scrap of paper with a smiley face on top, he honestly cared for Mario and his wife. They were beyond his scope of ‘kill it before it breeds’.

After a minute or so, a familiar figure placed a large mug of hot chocolate with whipped cream that had grated chocolate all over the top and two colourful straws. He placed his sundae down gently as to not crack the waffle bowl, it’s time will come... Oh yes, it will come. There was little to no hesitation as he sat down on the small chair in front of her. As he unwrapped his napkin he saw two spoons that spilled onto the table... Hmmm, it was a surprise that there weren’t two straws for her hot chocolate as well. ‘Mario you sly dog.’

Claiming one spoon for himself in one hand he raised the other as he looked at it for a moment, changing his view slightly he focused on Shae with a smile. “I believe this is for you.” His tone hinted at the amusement of the store owners as they already presumed he would be sharing his sundae with her... In truth, he was curious to see if she would accept, and share... Or refuse his gracious offer.

If she chose to take it he would have shifted the bowl slightly more in the centre of the small table, it would have almost reached her mug if he continued further. The soft ambient lighting of their colourful fairy lights littered the banister and lamppost as they continued in their flashing pattern. It felt like Christmas everywhere around him. And for once, he had a good reason to be happy... Even though he felt conflicted with the outcome of the evening.

“So... Heading home for Christmas day?”
His tone was warm and caught up in the nostalgia of the moment. He left the question open as he started to play with his sundae as he absently shaved the boysenberry scoop with the edge of his spoon.

Ice cream... he was really going to eat ice cream. There were so many different types of topping on it, tiny marshmallows, sprinkles, crushed nuts... even some candy coated chocolates and tiny jube lollies... even crushed cookies. Shae just stared at the concoction in the waffle bowl. The hot chocolate was going to be bad enough. But saying no was not something she had managed to perfect. Picking up the spoon she kind of dunked it into the topping mixture not really looking at what she ended up with before putting it into her mouth.

Sugar was a flavour right?

Her face contorted into all sorts of weird angles she tried to chew her way through the multiple textures ~ and colours. Oh god... it was complete disgusting and somehow delicious at the same time.

“Home?” The question took her by surprise, she lived at the CRASH office, but it wasn’t her home. She had never told Jon about where she lived though. “The cabin is hard to get to during winter. I probably won’t get to go home until the ice starts to thaw and the snow lets up.” Being snowed in was zero fun. By herself at any rate. “What about you? Were you going to see your mother for the holidays?” Christmas was not that big in Japan, but Jon was not Japanese. Asking about his family made her miss her own even more but that was not somewhere she wanted to go, not tonight.

As she waited for a response she dug the spoon into the whipped cream and chocolate shavings on the top of her hot chocolate. The heat was already starting to melt the cream into a warm sweet chocolaty mess. Putting that in her mouth was pure sin and it would have reflected in her face. Ice cream no, hot chocolate ... to die for.

He watched her face contort before giving into laughter, it was different to how he normally laughed, minus the malice and anger. She gave it a go, he had to commend her for that. But it was the boost of sugar his deprived body needed. Letting the Boysenberry dissolve in his mouth he listened to her as his features changed. Somehow he did not pick her for the log cabin type, more of the creature comfort type of girl. Not that he could complain, the outdoors or woodsy persona was lost to him as well.

And she can get trapped out there?... Where does she live, Antartica?

Wait... this may be useful.

He was about to indulge in another scoop before she spoke. To a certain degree it put him off eating. The moment she reminded him that Jon had a mother his features shifted slightly, like many people who were adopted at a young age, family was always something that was envied above all else. “... No... I wish I could. But it is impossible.” It would have to start with a DNA check and then spread out to god knows where else. “I will likely be watching the C.R.A.S.H. building, ah. Watching ‘over’ the C.R.A.S.H. building.” He forced a slight chuckle at the mix of words, but in Brit’s case he would have remained alone throughout any season. If he was lonely he could find Raksha, or just find someone to kill.

There was something sinful as he watched her claim the spoon of hot chocolate, he almost felt ashamed as he raised his eyebrow and hinted at a warm smile... Maybe it was the sugar that caused the hot flush along his cheeks, or maybe the stray thought that crossed his mind. Wait, was this something he had to pay for?

Both of them being alone for Christmas was ... yeah. “At least you will be able to call her.” There was that eternal optimism.

Eating while someone was watching her was way up there on Shae’s list of awkward. Maybe that is why the spoon never made it to her mouth. There was that strange look on Jon’s face that she was not entirely sure how to read. It made her grip around the take away cup tighten and the butterflies which had been drowning in sugar moments earlier came back with a vengeance. It had been a perfect scoop too, cream and most of the chocolate flakes with even more cocoa dusted over the top... but she held out the spoon for Jon to eat off.

She didn’t relinquish the spoon completely. Nor was she going to give up on her offering. He had shared his after all. “Go on.” Shae encouraged, accompanied by a mmmm sound. Every second bringing the spoon closer to his mouth. Before Jon had made up his mind or not, one of the rogue children bounced into the back of her chair in a last desperate effort to avoid being it. Grabbing the table to steady herself part of her hot chocolate splashed over the side onto the tabletop. But it was looking back up at Jon which made her laugh.

Clamping her hand over her mouth, the attempt to trying and smother her amusement was all too little too late, the damage was done. Across his cheek was smeared a delicious concoction of cream, chocolate flakes and cocoa powder. She couldn’t apologise... chances were, she couldn’t even speak. Actually... breathing was a challenge. Her whole face was turning red.

Brit... Jon did not have the heart to continue talking about some other person’s mom, and acting like there was a chance of talking to her.

As Shae lifted the spoon towards him it seemed his trick of stripping before her had gotten out of hand. There was a line that he did not expect to cross as she offered the spoonful to him. It felt strange, weird... Awkward in the position he had gotten himself into as she further enticed her offering with a ‘mmmm’ sound. How was he supposed to resist while still behaving like that pompous police officer with blue hair? Jon wouldn’t refuse, he probably doesn’t even know how lucky he is... He thinks he’s so perfect, let’s see him think that when I mess up that pretty boy face of his... With a spoon!

‘Fine...’ Her actions were changing his opinion of her, as much as he wanted to ignore it, but she was a nice person underneath the badge... ‘What?.. You fool.’ Shae had distracted him from the outside world, from the cold that bit at his skin, and the child that continued to run around on a sugar high. Even the spoon was lost to the view of her face of encouragement.

That emotion passed as quickly as a child bumping into a chair...

He felt the warm sensation run across his cheek as he could almost see the offending lump of whipped cream slowly run down his cheek... “Oh... You think that’s funny?” His deep, playful tone only hinted at Jon’s accent as Brit’s humour emerged. His eyes watched her with intent before looking down to his bowl. The motion was easily dismissed as he stirred the soft creamy concoction of sugar and jellies all coated in thick ice cream. That was until he looked back up to her, the red hue of his eyes were almost luminescent even compared to the vivid lighting from the store. He was something entirely different as he lifted his spoon upright beside his head, the ice cream started to slide down the spoon oh so slowly as it faced towards her.

He ran his thumb gently across his cheek as he felt it collect some of the whipped cream and cocoa powder before running it against his lips. The sweet sensation was only comparable to the look on her face as he claimed his bottom lip for a brief moment... His features shifted slightly to a mock serious look on his face, which soon changed to his raised eye brow. A comical smile ran across his lips as his intent became more and more obvious... Sooo obvious it would suggest she was in trouble, a great deal of fun trouble.

“Do you still trust me?.. You shouldn't.”
His words hit such delicious depths of temptation. There was no warning, there was no hesitation as he hefted the spoonful straight in her direction.

He wouldn’t.......

Shae’s eyes looked between Jon’s face and the spoonful of primed ice cream and toppings aimed directly at her.

Oh god, he would........


There was barely time to duck as the food fight starter sailed right past her shoulder and into the side of the child’s head who had been chasing the one who had bumped her. Amidst the laughing and screaming one of the other children was wrongly accused of the act and chaos ensued. Sweet sticky ice cream and topping chaos. It was the perfect time for a tactical retreat if ever there was one!

Shae managed to double back and rescue her hot chocolate, shooting Jon a look that suggested he would have to fend for himself before she half walked, half ran away from the ice cream parlour. She wouldn’t have stopped until she reached the car again, all but collapsing in a fit of laughter.

She could still see the children throwing food at one another and the more responsible of the adults trying to put a stop to it. She had never thrown food at someone before! Technically she still hadn’t.
