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.

Taylor had managed to swipe a key card to Madison's apartment so as he was heading to return it and seen the delivery man he looked up. "Hey, I'll sign for that if it's alright. It's for my sister right?" he said as he made his way up. "She seems to be out at the moment and I mean as long as it's delivered to the right address that is all that matters right," he said as he put his signature out for the package. "You have a great day now," he said as he took a seat by the package. "This is huge, what in the hell is Madison ordering?" Cami Q.- Carter

Cami had taken the next two months off of work in order to take ivf shots and this morning was her first round as she flopped down on the bed. She did not even pay any attention to the fact that Taylor was missing at first as her phone beeped. She grabbed her phone and seen that her package had been delivered, but that signature that ran across was not Madison's. "Fuck," she said as she got up and slowly and carefully made her way to Madison's apartment and seen Taylor. Married to this man for about three days now and he was still doing shit to make her life hard. She had to distract him, she just knew it. "Taylor?" she said. "Baby, what are you doing here, your apartment is two divisions over." She was going to have to touch him wasn't she? She still had not kissed him, at least not really. She put her hand out in the hopes that he would take it. "Come on I'll make you some breakfast," she said as she slowly squatted down by the box. "Also I am going to warn you now that signing for someone else's package is illegal but I will make sure it gets fixed. This is probably just the new tennis stuff that Mallory ordered to make Madison's job better and help the students out anyway, none of our business you know?" Just the thoughts that she might have to touch his hand made her want to throw up but she did it anyway. "Woo, woo, and all that," she said as she laughed. "Seriously we need to just leave this here." Dr. Taylor Quinzell

Even though the last time we seen our favorite problematic couple it seemed things were getting hot and heavy, they had not. He still could not do it but he'd had no problem doing it with the whores as he had a couple hours earlier, so must be some l-o-v-e; hardcore style. "You look exhausted," he said moving his hands behind his back so as not to reach out and touch her. "Also I was coming this was just by happy accident," he said as he stood up and used the card key to open the door. "Needed to return this anyway," he said as he went and pushed the box in and went back and looked at Cami. "We can go home in a minute, let's get you some water," he said as he helped her inside but quickly let her hand go once she was in. "I bought you a bird by the way, I think it will also arrive today." Cami Q.- Carter

"Well in taking the ivf I have to stay in this form so it's draining on my body yes," she said as she watched him. He seemed still occupied with the package but not so much so as she watched him and then made her way in. "Thanks," she said once she was in. He did what? "Oh you did huh?" she said as she looked at him but still remained still. Why were they alone? "I thought we agreed to no surprises in the marriage," she said though she had broken that rule too. "Though that is very nice, so thanks." Shit, she was exhausted as she made her way over to the sofa. "Why a bird though?" she asked as she sighed again. Not being able to go in her blue form from time to time pretty much meant she was going around as human for days on end which she had not done in years. "Hey Taylor," she said. "Will you come sit down with me I am pretty tired." But baby, going to be totally worth it. Dr. Taylor Quinzell

He took a quick second to make a glass of water and then made his way over as he sat the glass down on a coaster. "You said no surprises I said no deal," he said as he thought about what she was putting herself through. So this was the road to parenthood it seemed. "Camila you need to be on the floor, not on the sofa," he said as he began to rearrange the end tables out of the way. "It's like laying in the sand, the body relaxes itself to a point of completeness and you rest better," he said as he pulled her off of the sofa and down on the floor. He was definately down for laying on the floor or any ground surface any time that he got the chance as he laid down beside her. "You can lay on me if you want," he said. He had questions though as he waited to see what she did. "Why did you give me your food the other day?" Cami Q.- Carter

She was too tired to fight it as she hit the floor and watched him. "Well I can't wait to see it in that case," she said as she thought about laying next to him as opposed to laying on him. Normally she would have better judgement but she laid on him and heard his question. "I don't know, I just wanted to so I did it. Maybe I feel something for you and that makes me do nice things." She could slowly see why he was so into touch. "I've been thinking about that touch love language I can see why it's easy to fall into." She careened her body towards him. "If you move right now I promise you I will cry," she said as she laughed. "I still don't like all that touching though, I just am using you as a body pillow," she said as she once again laughed.

He knew it seemed as if he did not pay attention but he did. "I do hope that you like it," he said as he listened to her answer and he chuckled. "Right, that's me too I guess," he did get a kick out of her saying everything but love but he got it. He understood how it was though you could only say it so much until you did not feel safe saying it anymore. "It is the best love language, well I thought so until the other day anyway." "Be kind of hard for me to move but I am not planning on it," he said as he turned to her. "You know what sits right next to touch as a love language Camila? Time," he said as he watched her face. "Qaulity of time spent together, and the time that we put into everything that we do. So much time has escaped me doing what my parents want that time will not go by without me putting in the quality of work for what I want now." Taylor had worked and worked and now he wanted to work less. "So time and touch, I think I could consider those equal without either being wasted." Cami Q.- Carter

She blinked awake slowly as the flecks of blue ran over her face as he spoke as she grabbed his hand and put it on her face. "Look at you noticing details," she said her voice completely in that of surprise. The blue flecks were always a nice cool touch to the human skin at least so she wondered if he could feel that. "I do agree actually. Time is everything, no matter the amount." In time she was going to have everything she deserved. She moved his hands up and down the path of the blue flecks as the appeared on her face. "The flecks like you," she said. "They crave the imprints and feel of your fingers and in time I expect that will come back to bite me but it's fine. How do they feel to you, since your human?" For all the similarities they had differences too so she had to ask to make sure that they did not hurt. Dr. Taylor Quinzell

He took a second and he blinked as she was touching him. It was not odd it just was something he had not expected. "Well that is fine but I." He paused because he had to get this right. They had been at this moment before and then he would get all over into it which he did not want to do. "I simply like you, when you look like this, when you are blue," which reminded him. "You think I'm crazy because I talk about how the stars put this together and yet you didn't ask me about bringing anything blue to the wedding and I did not worry about it because I knew you were there. Was I drunk, yes but you covered all the bases, new is us, old well the sands of time though they change, blue was you, borrowed, well the island. We only live here, we do not actually own it." He took a second and made sure that he could see her still. He took a few seconds to trace the flecks before speaking again. "We should go down to the beach, sleeping in the sand is amazing." It really was he did not know why people doubted it. "After I put you on top of that boxed package and have my way with you." Cami Q.- Carter

"I see," she said. "I do not think you are crazy I just did not want the people in white suits to come after you and stop being so romantic." Seriously without her shift into blue she was mega attracted to him and his words. "You were very drunk you owe me a redo." She could feel good about going to the beach and then he had to mention the package. "No we are not doing that. You keep trying to have sex with me in your sister's apartment that is so gross. Plus it would be wrong to break it. When a person gives another person a gift they did it because they wanted, what if it was for you? You don't want it damaged right?" She turned her head. "Besides I like your sister being my friend, and no telling what Mallory and her have done in that bed. You know women get down from experience right?" she said as she shook her head. "Besides I booked myself a cruise when I get back from that, then we can." She took a minute. "Unless you want to come with me? You don't have to I have been thinking if I was going to go I would have to go by myself but if you aren't doing anything you can come too. It's the one thing on my list I am doing for myself but I could make it work for two." She slowly sat up and leaned over into him so she could see his face. "I meant to ask you like this."

"You're no fun," he said as he sighed. A cruise? That was the first time he heard any mention of that as she turned to asking him if he wanted to come. He started to speak when she was leaning over him. Now normally it would be fine cause he would not care about seeing the girl the next day but damn him and his feelings. "..." He needed to say something. "..." Why was he drawing such a blank, he knew why. He could smell her and the flickering blue pattern on her face had his attention too. He simply nodded his head yes as his eyes followed the pattern and his hands went up, tracing it. It sent a cold chill through his hands as he blinked. "I," he was scared to even say it. "Yeah of course I'll go with you because I mean I lo..love the sea so much." Damn it. "I mean it could be fun is all." He quickly moved his hands and cleared his throat. "Cami, please move." He did not really want that though. "Your face is so pretty but yeah I need you to move. Plus you need your water right?" Cami Q.- Carter

She felt the flecks start to cover her entire face as she looked at him. "Cat got your tongue Taylor?" she asked him. This was such adorable of him because who would have thought he could be so shy. "I'm actually really comfortable," she said. "Also if i move too much it hurts where I have to put the shots," she said as the blue ran across her nose as she climbed on his lap and lay her head on his chest. She slightly turned so that she could nuzzle into his neck. She could feel the blue of her skin being trapped away starting to come through in small drips so that he could feel it too. "You see what you do to me, it's so confusing so I think it is something that we should experience together. I just need you to stay calm, you can touch me if you would like it is only fair and we're not doing anything anyway. I need you to hold me so that when my body starts to shake from me having to keep the blue side of me inside, it does not hurt as much okay?" Dr. Taylor Quinzell

"Well that makes one of us at least," he said as he laughed though there was nothing funny. "Oh now you want to think about pain?" he asked as he put his arms out across the floor. "Look I am down with you being like halfish animal or whatever it is, it's actually kind of a true turn on but what you will not do is be on me like this." What he did to her? "I have done nothing to you, I can't seem to get it to work which is beyond embarrassing cause any other time it's fine but sure do whatever you need to let it pass." He carefully lifted his arms up and wrapped her in a hug as he stared up at the ceiling. He took in a slow deep breath and allowed himself to listen for her heartbeat and her breathing so that he could actually help and not let his hormones take over as he kept his arms hugged around her. "You're going to be okay," he said. Words that he had ached for anyone to tell him when he had started working too much. He took his right arm and placed it across the back of her hair for his fingers always found their way there no matter how much he tried to fight it. Were they bonding? It was not how he had thought it would happen but at the same time he had no idea how he had really wanted it to happen, he just knew he did want it to happen over time. Cami Q.- Carter

Time well spent was a phrase that she did not quite understand well but this was time being spent so maybe it counted. She could feel the awkward movement in his arms and then he finally seemed to settle into a hug which at the moment was fine to her, especially since she could feel small bits of the blue spilling out and she spoke as she moved her hands up around his neck. "You're going to be so blue, I'm sorry," she said as she still laid there. "Also I will need to send in the cleaning crew to clean Madison's floor so that she does not think an axe murderer came in here when she gets home." She could feel her tail come out though, since it was the hardest part of her body to control but it did lay across her back calmly at least for the moment. Then she sneezed, all in Taylor's face as specks of blue went all in his face, as she slowly set up and scooted herself back up against the wall. The blue of her tail went pale for a second and flashed a slight light purple. "I think those shots have me sneezing." Crap the last thing that she wanted to do was to get sick or even worse get him sick. She slowly got up and used the wall to make her way over to the kitchen, blue dropping everywhere. "Here, we need to get you clean," she said as she begin to panic looking for a washcloth. Dr. Taylor Quinzell

Three days ago, Taylor had licked Cami on the face.He did not even blink when she sneezed on him but the rush of panic that surged through his body when she started panicing felt like a damn train wreck. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her. "Cami," he said quietly. No, he could not say anything to her it would only send her on an emotional spiral. "Cami, let me take you home. I need to go distract Madison until you can rest and get the cleaning crew in here okay?" He walked over to her and turned her to face him. "Cami, I need you to calm down." He took a second to grip her hand tightly. "I'm okay, okay?" He hoped anyway. "I just need for you to calm down and breathe and we will get this handled." He wanted to scream aloud but he kept it together for the moment. "No need to panic, we're fine. It's just side effects." That'd teach him to keep his tongue in his mouth. Cami Q.- Carter
