Even paradise could become a prison if one had enough time to take notice of the walls
welcome to Dire Tactics
Oddities are individuals born with extraordinary gifts. Because of this they are hated, feared and generally persecuted across the globe. In an attempt to give them a refuge the billionaire Theodore Ashford has created Ashford Isle. Presented as a Sanctuary for the special some believe their to be much darker motives behind his generosity.
Ashford Isle
A state of the art city powered completely by renewable energy, gorgeous modern building erected against the backdrop of a tropical paradise. It has all the luxuries modern technology can afford accompanied by the natural beauty and serenity only nature can provide. This city is open to all Oddities and their families, along with several hundred A.R.I. employees, it boast a modest population of just over 5,000 individuals consisting of a mix between both human and oddity. This wonderful utopia however is shaded in mystery both metaphorically and literally. The United Nations have dispatched several fleets of O.S.E. ships near the island, this gives the coastline a ominous view.

Ever since she had her hand touched upon her own face she had acquired these glasses. Sometimes she would thought she could see what were 'visions' but they only came around that boy that she hated and wished she had never met. Nothing she could tell anyone about because it sounded crazy so it left her with no choice but to meet up with him again. She pulled the glasses off of her face and looked at them. She sighed as she turned them upside down and blew across the edge of them. "Hunter you are such an issue riddled little boy, it's not a good look at all." As the puff of red smoke caught her face she began to cough and felt herself alert as she could see him but thankfully not touch him. "Hunter I do not want these glasses so how do I break them?"

It was his first attempt at the glasses so he was glad it had worked. "I'm 22 Daphne, I'm fully grown," he said. "Shame you are so mean to me we could be good friends," he said as he laughed. "I much prefer to do things face to face however," he said as he left his father's apartment. Those spirits were not anything he truly wanted to be around as he knocked on her apartment door. "Hey little red riding hood, want to let the wolf in?" Daphne Quinzell-Jaxon

Work. She got up and wiped her face and then opened the door. "Hunter I have work to do but you can come in and do not call me that. I am not a fairy tale if anything I am just a girl who is caught up in your mess unwillingly and that means we have crossed paths but nothing else." He could play around all he wanted. "I need to find me a job can you help me with that because if you can then we can have a conversation." Hunter Jaxon-Quinzell

"Hmm," he said as he ran his hands through his hair. "Well," he said as he stepped back. Hunter was not so subtle like his father and he was not so coy like his mother. He spoke what was on his mind and consequences be damned. A part of that was because he had been through some things but mostly he was just a douche. He took a second to tuck her hair behind her ear and adjust her glasses. "Two things first. I like the glasses, maybe some cat frames would frame your face better. Maybe something else but the glasses bring attention to your eyes and no bullshit Daph, you have amazing eyes. Second thing work is boring but if you need a job you can come work for me. I could use a human's point of view over some stuff, but that would mean spending a lot of nights with me and you are lonely so I mean it's a dangerous offer but I mean nothing is happening here right? You made that very clear, broke my heart a little even if your body language says differently." He could read women like an expert that much he did inherit. "Your mouth and your words say leave me alone but your body says drive me like a 1960's corvette and take all the curves, must be a hell of a mixed signal for you to work through." He put his finger under his chin and then held it up. "Oh and music Daphne, music is something. We need a song if you are going to work for me before I work in you, only a matter of time before your body craves something no one else, especially no damn human can give you." He was too much.

She closed her eyes when he started touching her and then she moved. "Well you can talk a nice game Hunter no one can deny that but I see right through you. All of your actions a cry for help and I am not your mother I will not mother you, will not raise you to be a better person so if I come work for you, you don't get to hit on me. We need rules and if you can not follow rules then we have nothing else to discuss as far as my job." There was something inside of her that did want to see what it was like though. "You know nothing about the 1960's Hunter, you know nothing about corvettes so instead of trying to get into my pants, how about you even pretend like you care about anything besides what I look like?" She calmed herself down. "Let's say I did find you even slightly attractive, every time you open your mouth it's all gone," she said as she touched the glasses on her face. She took the time to twist the edges of them a second. "I just wish you could talk to me like you even cared about anything besides my body," she said as she felt her glasses buzz. "How hard is that for you?" she asked him and shook her head. "I need 3,000 a week and I will help you." Hunter Jaxon-Quinzell

"Okay," he said. "However one question first," he asked as he took a seat. "How does it feel now? There is always going to be more to you than your body Daphne it's just it's a nice body but if it makes you uncomfortable then that is on me and I do not mean to do that to you." He sighed. "If you come and work with me it won't happen at all," he said. "I can be a good person it just sucks." He turned to her. "I really can feel your body though blame my mother and father for that and if anyone asks just say no it's too hard to explain." Daphne Quinzell-Jaxon

She listened to him and felt the buzz feeling of her glasses again as she watched him sit down and she heard him speak. "Go on," she said. "Also, did you hear what I said?" He had changed and she had wished it. She was not sure if it was the music notes that she had seen before or what exactly it was that was going on. "What did you do to me Hunter?" Wishes were not to be messed with at least as far as she knew which only made her move closer to him. "It's the glasses I am assuming?" she asked because she did not know. "Did you put magic in those glasses Hunter? I have been wearing them for days," she said. "So sneaky, but I did like the talk about me having pretty eyes. I guess that got to me just a tiny bit but it changes nothing. You are no one I should fall for." Hunter Jaxon-Quinzell

"You wished for me to do something and I did it," he said as he watched her. "I guess that's the thing about black magic Daphne once you've been around it, it kind of takes you over even though you are still you." He took the glasses off of her face and looked at them. "It is Daphne but you and I are, are the only ones that know. You can tell whomever you'd like in the end I suppose, well after I make a few little adjustments to them first. I should have them ready for you in a couple of days at the most," he said as he looked at them. "First time I've used my magic for something other than butterflies and stars," he said. Life was moving on, they were growing and more than that growing up. "I'm not asking you to fall for me doesn't mean it's not happening," he said as he went to get up. "There we go, giving you space." Daphne Quinzell-Jaxon

"I'll make you a deal," she said as she moved closer to him. "I don't want space. Look it's been five months since I have arrived on this island and even longer since other things and I am not even sure it still works so here is my deal." What did she want? To be satisfied, to be used? She was not sure."One time. One time for me to make sure that it still works and then nothing else and you do not tell anyone because this is crazy but I would like to know that it still works so do we have a deal?"

"No," he said. "Two things. First you are close with my aunt so I don't know maybe if I can talk to her about it first so I don't get blame and two, girl I know my worth. One time with me is going to ruin you for everyone else." He made his way over to the piano. "You're not the first pair of nice tits I have seen that has tried to use me and think you could get away with it," he said as he scooted over. "Come on Daphne, we can do a duet besides you don't believe in love right?" Her aura. "Your aura says that you do not and mine says that I do. It would only turn out messy and you don't need that if if you are still going to work for me," he said. "Besides you made a wish on me, don't you know what that means?" He laughed. "Daphne I am not from this time line, but little me, well little me probably likes you even though he has yet to meet you." Daphne Quinzell-Jaxon

She went and sat down beside him. "Fair actually," she said. "I am not babysitting this little you," she said as she began to play on the piano. "It is not that I don't believe in love it is that love is hard. You are the big bad wolf you should know that more than anyone else," she said as she continued to play and then took his hands and put them on the keys. "You said duet," she said as she waited on him. "I mean I am seeing people find love so I guess it's not impossible," she said. "Are you going to do the notes in the air again?" she asked. "That was cute and I am ready for it this time." Hunter Jaxon-Quinzell

He laughed at her touching his hand. "I am quite the wolf Red," he said as he began to play. "I could do the notes in the air but," he said. "Allow me a second," he said as he used his free hand to cast a small spell that levitated the glasses that she had once wore. He curved his hand as if he was signing a cursive DJ into the air. "I noticed your initials are DJ," he said as he handed her back the glasses. "Try them now," (i'm thinking this - The user, either innately or through training, is a master of the performing arts -acting, singing, dancing, etc. what you think? ) Daphne Quinzell-Jaxon

There was a but that was something that she did not expect. Allow him that was something else that she found to be different during this time of talking. She put the glasses on and looked at him but it was not looking at him that did anything to her at least that she thought but what she felt. She did not feel any different physically but emotionally it was almost too much as she removed the glasses and the feeling disappeared. "There seems to be a lot of emotion in those glasses," she said as she looked at him and felt those feelings coming up again. Her hands were still on the piano as she began to play. "Stop calling me red," she said. "What's wrong with just calling me Daphne? It's like you do it on purpose." It had been so long since she had read even heard the story of the wolf and little red riding hood. "So these glasses, the better to see you with?" She was surprised when the glasses gave a small buzz and attached to her face as she blinked and felt forced to face him. She looked at him and let out a sigh as she shook her head. "You are dangerous I guess that does make you kind of wolf like," she said as she ran her hands through her hair. "I need you to leave again we are too close." Hunter Jaxon-Quinzell i had to edit this to say yes that is fine

He slid back as she slid forward. "I am not as dangerous as I seem I just do what I need to do in order to protect my family and yes something like that," he said. It was his matter of fact attitude and the fact that Hunter knew he was made of awesome genetic line that made him such a douche. He stood up and shrugged. "I'm not leaving," he said as he put his hand out. "Not without a dance at least, we need to test the glasses." This dance, like most dances in his family would be looked back as special. Not for him though Hunter did not need this but she did or so her aura seemed to think. "I'm not going to huff and puff, you'll be safe." Daphne Quinzell-Jaxon

She nodded. "I do not quite buy that" she said as she took his hand. She did not know about this type of dancing though because the space was lacking but she did start to sway. "You know I was talking to Madison she gives good advice. I think she was just saying to let things happen naturally which I have never been the best at, are you?" She took a second to lift her head up as she still felt the glasses against her face. "If I feel what I feel or think I feel because of these glasses that would make me angry and I punch things when I am angry." Hunter Jaxon-Quinzell
