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.

"Because I need to protect her and the sooner that you see her the sooner that I will see that you still might not change so I am going against that before you get that chance," she said as she carefully watched his motions. He seemed more moving out here and maybe it was being in this time something that even she did not know. "Like it or not Hunter you are a father. Happy with it or not that is now a part of your life that you can not change you can only expand on it and then he was offering her an exchange or at least that was how she seen it. "Yeah," she said honestly. "We might could do that." She was scared though because would anything happen there when something that was part him and part her entered into such an area. He moved again and she watched him but specifically his hands going behind his head and the path that the magic was taking as the colors came into it. "Holy heck," she whispered to herself. Connections? She positioned herself so that she could watch it but not touch him since he made it so apparent that he hated that. "Hey," she said. "Put your hands on my back." Hunter Quinzell

There she was jumping on him again and when he thought that they were getting along and he rolled his eyes. "I know what I am Daphne," he said but it did not mean that he was good at it or was going to be but at least she agreed. He also pushed down the fact that he could feel her watching him. "Stop staring at me that's honestly a creepy move," he said as he heard her whispers but not the words. Then she asked him something and he shot up. "Nope," he said as he looked at her now. "Not getting tricked with that," he said. "I'd be touching you and then next thing you know your moaning my name and we do not need that at all." God why was she always trying to go after his body, such a bad move. Daphne "DJ" Carter-Quinzell

She took a minute to watch his reaction and she remained vigil in her stance. "But you're so pretty Hunter," she said as she felt a small pull in her back. Fuck her life if their powers were to work together but that was it wasn't it? She could punch him in the mouth for that alone but no she did not want to do that she simply wanted to learn to use this as she thought. "Hunter I am being serious and not sexual," she said. "Look," she said as she stood up. "I think your magic and my performance art are connected and I think it happened the day we got that piano." She had been looking at it wrong this entire time. That piano was a classic she knew that much and he had even said it himself. She was always the one pushing him and then their world going black and white. "I'm going to push you okay?" she said. "When I do, I need you to sing." How could she not even think that he could sing, well she had given thought to it a little when he kept calling them a duet but not like this. "Ready?"

"Damn right," he said as he laughed. Wait, why was she flattering him. He backed up when she stood up because he did not know what was about to happen. "No the hell it is not," he said as he looked at her. "Daphne if you want to be close to me just say that," he said. "You're going to what now?" He backed up more. "Yeah I think that I will pass on that," he said. Fuck.He could run but if he run would she give chase so damn it he was trapped. "Fine," he grumbled as he put his hands behind his back. "You get one," he said as he looked at her, his magic should be enough to protect her if she messed this up. "Come on Daphne, take your push." Daphne "DJ" Carter-Quinzell

Hunter and his ego were such a turn off as she shook her head no. "I am trying to be serious with you," she said as he once again proved that he could not, would not ever be able to be serious as she noticed his hands going behind his back and then he told her to take her push. She was going to consider this a win as she stepped up to him. If she warned him then he might change his mind so she thought for a second as she pushed him towards the edge of the land and looked over the water. She took a second to check his hands. "Let's hope that those hands can save you if not I might be able to." So she pushed him off the edge. "You'll be fine I'm sure." However as soon as she pushed him she felt herself being pushed too, falling with him as she screamed. Being around Hunter was a lot and always taking it's toll on her and she still just wanted her every day ordinary life back because this was a fast change that she was not prepared for but still she felt a small something as she continued to scream. "Are you seriously going to let me fall to my death?" she screamed into the air. Hunter Quinzell

She had pushed him and now wanted him to play hero, how wild of her. He sighed as he landed on his feet and threw a blue magic up into the hair so that she would not break anything important, at least he thought it was blue but upon closer inspection he seen it was orange. "Oh fuck," he said. Oh well too late for that to change as he backed up. "You messed up my color pattern Daphne." Stress. "You can't just let us be nice so that everything works out, no you have to go and fight me even still on everything and now my color pattern is messed up," he said as he began to throw his magic in her face. "You don't get it do you? I am trying to be nice to you and you are still finding it in yourself to be selfish and just think of no one but yourself. I give you the fucking world and you still do things that anger me and on top of that are not letting me see my daughter!!" His niceness was now gone replaced by his anger. "Fucking hell Daphne, what in the fuck are we doing?" He did not take kind to be stressed at all, but Hunter when he was angry was not a nice person at all.

Everything, if he could behave and just be more mature she would give him everything but it was simply not in the cards as she hit the ground. That was not the worse part though the worse part was his words and how his anger seemed to control him instead of him controlling it and that was when she felt it, her heart literally beginning to break. Not the kind where you think it's happening but the kind where it actually happens. First it was the small chest pain and then the shorntess of breath, but his words finished it off. Her tears came freely and she watched them fall, colored orange. She had once been so excited for this, even stupidly excited for their child. "We're doing nothing Hunter," she said her words shaky and so unconfident but she had to put herself first. "You don't have it in you to care about me or anything even after you know we share a daughter," she said. She thought that she had seen something in him but it was nothing that he was going to ever show when anyone was around so was it shame? Her tears hurt too as she looked at him. "I'm going to New York Hunter and when I get back, you can see Echo." For what was the use of keeping her away from him if he was just going to make Daphne pay the price. "You get your way Hunter, like always." She however needed a doctor as she passed out. [ OMG! ] Dr. Taylor Quinzell for the end!

"We did it," he said. Barely. You see three months from now, it was to be called the most magical wedding experience but three months is a long time when heart break has became real as he pulled himself out of the future and turned and looked at Dr. Carter Q. Stratin. "We have our work cut out for us," he said. "Once she is back from New York, you're up." END Dr. Carter Q. Stratin so he can see Daphne "DJ" Carter-QuinzellAdmin
