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.

He sighed as he spoke. "I did not do anything to you, see that is the problem everyone here seems to think I did but Daphne we fucked each others lives up together." It was a sad, sad truth but now he was too deep into this infactuation of "love" to let go. "You are the woman so you already get a slide but before I let you go on to live your life I need everyone here to understand one thing. I'm not the guy, I never promised you a prince charming and even if I wanted to do that you have my magic stored away." He did not like it. "Yet I keep gifting you the best of me and you want to stand there and stab me in the back, this hurts Daphne," he said. "Art however can be both of our escapes," he said. "I just want to love you Daphne, deeply, with a fire fueled passion in a world where we can simply be artistic and not held against our will." A single tear shed from his face. "Why do you want to hurt me?" he asked as the water splashed his face. He slightly flinched because it did hurt but that only upset him more. "STOP TRYING TO HURT ME WHEN I JUST WANT TO LOVE YOU!" he screamed at her. He no longer needed his magic to get his point across as he felt her coming at him and he felt his breath leaving as he screamed up at her. Evil. Even in his state of being the best that he could be, he simply was made of an evil that he did not want to let go. "Stop Daphne, you need to stop," he said as he felt winds. Him, no he was not the bad guy, Daphne and her anger that she still could not control. "Wrong choice," he said as he grabbed her and threw her off the pier, still trying to catch his breath. He was such a delicate evil after all as he turned to his mom and aunts. "I am not saving that bitch, I tried to make it work okay? I tried to love her and accept her for who she is but that art ability and that magic that she chose to keep from me will be her do in. She can rot in hell as far as I am concerned." T'was war. He slowly got to his feet and went over to the edge of the pier. "Drown bitch," he said as he pushed his hair back. Her art had splashed his face as his body was trying to turn itself half green but he only slightly shook it away. "You glitched my magic you stupid fucking whore," he said as his voice went from an angry person to a roar. As he spoke he slightly exhaled a dark green mist, then he went over the pier, after her. "I don't need magic to kick your ass," he said as he swam towards her. The green in his hair and on his face were literally leaking into the water forcing the clear blue to go to a clear green as he put his hands deep into the water and forced the current's movement towards Daphne.

She still hated being blue but the one thing that she hated even more was watching these two go at it and the yelling that could not be good for their children, it did make her sad but then they were in the water and she turned to Madison and Mallory. "Holy crap," she said finally being loose and sighing. "You guys didn't tell me that they had issues like this!" Daphne "DJ" Carter-QuinzellMallory Q.

She was so angry and every time that she was not it was anywhere but here and around anyone but Hunter as she hit the water. Even looking up she seen nothing but a monster and that was never going to change as she pulled herself out of the water. "Like hell you will," she said as she threw her hands up and watched as colors flew from them. "Fuck it," she said as she put them down. "You are spoiled and selfish and stupid so fucking stupid," she said as she looked at him in the water. "You are nothing but a monster," she said as she blinked because she still did not feel too well. "You didn't try anything," she said as she went and dragged him out of the water all because she no longer cared. Let him die for all she could pretend to gather about him. "No one wants you to play prince charming, you stupid cunt." She opened her hand and watched as the paint brush formed and she stuck it straight into his shoulder. "Art is everything that you are not and for you to try and make me feel bad for trying to help you get rid of all that magic that is clearly corrupting you well we all know that makes you a piece of shit," she said as she kicked him. Her anger was a lot even for her as she felt herself being hit in the face with pages and then she felt herself slipped away as she screamed into an empty void. Mallory Q.

As hopeful as Madison was it was clear that Daphne and Hunter couldn’t get on. They still had a choice to make as a group and as dangerous as it was she felt there wasn’t an option to leave Daphne trapped. “I don’t think we have a choice. We go on after her because I doubt Hunter will” she said sure of this choice. It didn’t look like he listening to anybody right now. Looking between Mallory and Cami the risks were great but while she couldn’t combat magic they could do something between them. Mallory Q. Nottingham Dr. Cami Q.- Carter Hunter Quinzell |

He knew that he could very well be difficult to work with but this seemed new. She seemed okay with trying to embarrass him but not okay with the fact that he was the type to bite back. Truthfully he hated when they fought but it did seem to do all that they did. He took a second and shook his head. "I don't really want to fight with her but it seems to be all that she knows," he hated that and he also hated how all this felt. It was hard difficult and now here in front of all the women he knew he was embarrassed. "She just never learns." Dr. Cami Q.- CarterMallory Q.

Wow. She had a lot of thoughts but the one that entered her head first was the fact that she did not think that she could just blame Hunter on this one. Through some weird fabric of time apart or time together or kids or even magic it seemed these two were so damn unserious but angry. She could see how that might drive someone crazy. "Cami, do you think you could use that book of your sons to keep them calm?" She would never be the type to read a lot but anything seemed like it might be worth a shot.

She had came to the island with nothing and she was not leaving but falling into this void made her feel empty which made her angry as she hit the cold space. Art was something that scared her because as beautiful as it could be she thought also that it could be scary but her anger and her hands, as green as day no matter how much she tried to shake it away. No she could not deny that her and Hunter were linked. Love was beyond what they did to each other because when you cared love spread and when you hated love seemed to be consuming so she placed her hands out into the void and watched as they dripped, cold and still but the art was comforting. "He's such a stupid boy whose not going to learn a lesson the easy way." It hurt her and all her feelings she could feel and the pain she decided to soak in it as her hair went auburn and the glasses came on her face. She shook because they literally attached to her face for time to see cleary she thought but then again she did not know as she slowly pulled. "Bring him to me," she said as her hands pulled the only thing showing a dripping trail of pain, even if it was colored green. There was no saving him because he did not deserve to be saved and as far as she was concerned, he would feel every inch of pain that he had made her feel as she pulled again. He wanted magic, fine.

"Shit," he said because he could feel it as he fell to his knees because as always she simply had to learn to put him in his place but he was hard headed and troublesome but he was starting to sweat and the magic dripped out of his skin as he felt himself pulled, the magic coming out of his body allowing his mom and aunt to see the chains that were pulling at him as he screamed. Every scream left behind more magic but it simply looked like sweat as his body was dragged towards Daphne's, the dark void's entrance now open for his mom and aunt able to see and Hunter's breathing had became erractic as his body was chained and pulled closer to Daphne's as he looked up at her. "You're going to get us trapped in here," he muttered out through his pain. She was hurting him because his magic was dripping out even now down on his knees as he stared up at her. "Still so pretty," he said as could taste blood now as it dripped down out of his mouth and onto Daphne's skin as Hunter inched closer to her body and put his arms around her, his body still shaking against her skin. The magic out of him and into her skin, the blood lacking taste for him now. "You want to hurt me," he sputtered out. "I'll hurt you right back," he said as he pushed his hands all in her face. "I do pray that those glasses blind you," he said as his hands lighted up, for the first time the light reaching more than the just center of his palms and completely on Daphne's face. "Good night princess, I do hope you enjoy your artistic view." Blinding her would be child's play so he was going for a different effect. Let her see the world through his eyes and let him see the world through hers. "I never could understand such an unruly bitch," he said as he passed out and his head hit her right on her chest, where her heart was. Daphne "DJ" Carter-QuinzellMallory Q.

It felt fantastic for once to be in control and to have him where he should be chained and locked away as she could see him now pulled towards her. She felt guilty but she had to get more of that magic out of him if there was ever any hope of him possibly being good but even now it was not enough as she heard him speaking and she spoke. "Maybe we need to be trapped Hunter, maybe you need lessons." She did not want to leave her children but she could not take a chance on Hunter hurting them. So it was a storybook tale and after much thought she felt that this was the right decision even as she felt Hunter push his hands all over her face. It did hurt the small pieces of glass in her face but the magic healed them nicely as she felt her eyes flicker but what hurt the most was the fact that he crashed out right on her heart, which took her breath and not in that fairy tale way but the bad way as her and Hunter both fell out of the void and onto the pier. She tried to open her eyes but the sun caught them first and she seen so many colors as she tried to move Hunter off of her but without luck. It was a mess and she watched as water and pages scattered around them and then calmed down as one of the pages hit her in the face but to see the world through someone else's eyes, if that is not the moment your love is true she did not know what was. "Please come get him off of me," she said as she slid again, but the pages stayed with her and comforted her. "These pages are stuck to me," she said as she pushed herself out once again and went back into the water but under the pier this time, the pages still following. She carefully blinked and she could see the words which drew a small gasp from her and water went in which caused her to shuffle back up to the surface. "Help!" she yelled. "Help!"

She watched amazed and scared because magic dripping out was not normal but she knew that their life would never be normal. Seeing that void entrance also made her scales tighten but she still stood up. In and out Hunter and Daphne went and she carefully went over and did her best to pull Hunter off of Daphne but even as she did the pages seemed to act as they had a mind of their own and thre went Daphne over again. "Madison, Cami, if you guys will help her I will continue to help Hunter and we can get them to the hospital to get checked out." The magical void seemed to have closed off but even she could see the blobs of magic spots underneath her feet now. "We need to hurry because if he loses his magic, he's already not supposed to be here, I think I know a way we can get in without being seen." She'd seen enough stories to feel that this was the point where Hunter's life hung in the balance but she was not going to say anything. Love was eternal even she knew that. She carefully leaned down and looked at Hunter and took his pulse. It was weak but she kept her face straight. "I don't know what kind of love game you are playing but you better know what you are doing," she said as she looked at his head and his neck. "Hey, I think he broke his neck," she screamed. "Guys!" she said. Dr. Cami Q.- CarterMadison Nottingham-QuinzellHunter Quinzell, hope it did you justice! Daphne "DJ" Carter-Quinzell |

She went completely blue when she watched and she was about to help Daphne out but then she heard what Mallory said and she made her way over to Hunter. "Move," she said the friendly being out of her voice as she knelt down beside Hunter. She narrowed her eyes and spoke. "She hurt my son," she said keeping her calm because she kneew that slapping a bitch did not need to be on her resume'. "Keep her away from my son," she said as she picked Hunter up carefully and her blue soaked into him as she spoke. "Taylor will be hearing about this and maybe the two of you should tell Daphne that those pages hate her it is why they are sticking. That those pages are her death warning and if she ever comes near my son again I will do the job his heart will not allow him to do." Madison Nottingham-QuinzellDaphne "DJ" Carter-QuinzellMallory Q.

Things moved very quickly and this left Madison in a quandary. Cami told them to keep Daphne away from her son so that left her to deal with Daphne. There would be a hospital trip after this but family trumped all. They were her nephews and nieces and more than she ever expected to have. There was always drama to go with this but was that supposed to be the way? “Daphne, I think we’ve got trouble to deal with. In the meantime I’d suggest not going near Hunter for a while. Cami does mean what she says” she suggested. Looking over to Mallory who just had quite a shock she added “I’ll phone the ambulance and hopefully Taylor can do something to help”. Magic did change the way things could play out. A broken neck could still be healed normally but magic could do more. Daphne "DJ" Carter-QuinzellDr. Cami Q.- CarterMallory Q.
