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.

"Don't stress about it, I am sure that it will happen in time," he said as he got down. He could do this as he sighed and lifted her left leg up first. "Why running though?" he asked. The hardest part of making anything work was getting to know someone even if in the end you knew that you had to. "You are more attractive than you realize," he said as he switched to her right leg, and then put himself over her so that he could see her face and she could see his. "It's always the cute ones that do not get it when they look in a mirror. I went through an ugly phase though so I understand." Cami Q.- Carter

"Yes but not everyone's ugly phase encountered being blue and trying to figure out what you needed but it made me resilent and then it made me dumb again when I met my boss." She was still growing so she understood it a lot. "Maybe you are right and we can both just grow together," she said as she felt him switch legs with her stretching. "I think being a teenager was the absolute worse part, body changing and all of that. I think that held everything else together pretty good." Why he was all in her face now though she did not know. "Taylor did no one ever truly teach you about boundaries?" she asked him. "People do like their space," she said as she could feel her tail as it wrapped itself around him, pulling him closer to her. "Close enough for you hm?"She took a second to reach her hands up and turn his face upwards. "Look up," she said. "You're going to miss the star designs otherwise." Dr. Taylor Quinzell

"Well look at you now, owning it," he said as he smirked. Her boss? What? He was not going to worry too much about it however. "Change is good Camila," he said. "I know about boundaries and don't you see I just truly dance along them like everyone else does," he said as he felt her hands and her tail. He did not even fight it as he heard her say look up. "No thanks," he said as he laid on her. This was his favorite place, it was warm and comforting. It was rare for him to want to be, just be with someone and not think about sex but it was good. However the more comfortable he got the warmer his body got, on the outside as he still laid against her. "I don't think I feel so good again," he said. "Maybe I should have waited before coming out after the shower." Still he was extremely comfortable as he felt his eyes close as he laid on top of her. Cami Q.- Carter

"Says the man who is having a hard time adjusting to life on the island," she said as she heard him say no. "So much for those stars huh?" she asked as she felt him getting warmer. Damn it. "Yeah maybe," she said as she heard him stop talking. "Taylor?", she said as panic ran through her body. Her tail unwrapped around him as she tried to wake him. "Taylor, wake up," she said as she felt her body flinch and go completely blue. She picked him up and herself up as well and dragged him back inside of the house and threw him inside of the shower, as she sat squatted behind him, holding him against her chest. "Taylor, wake the fuck up," she said as she felt another deep roll of emotions as her tail kept the both of them in place up against the shower's back base. Eating wish cookies does not come without a price. She knew that much but this price she was not ready for. "Taylor I need you to wake up," she said as she splashed the water on his face. She could feel his heart beating but she did not explain why he was getting so deeply sick on and off. All of his medical records had came back fine. She took a second to tilt his head up and stick her tongue in his mouth so that she could spit in it, as she felt the blue part of her take over as it pinned him against the shower wall now, as she licked the inside of his entire mouth, leaving small blue specks on the roof of his upper mouth as her eyes flickered a slight purple. "Come on, open your eyes." Dr. Taylor Quinzell

The flurry of emotion that seemed to be going through Cami was taking a slow toll on his body. It would not ever kill him but it would make him tired but at this point he did not know what or why was going on, as he could hear the faint words but not make out exactly what it was that it was that was being said. He slowly felt a hard, pattern go across the inside of his mouth as he slowly opened his eyes to water being splashed in them and Cami having purple eyes. "If you ever wanted to get me in the shower all you had to do was ask," he said in an attempt to lighten the mood. He did not even have to ask if she was scared because he could feel it. "It happened again," he said. "What is wrong with me?" Had it been her that had poisoned him? He did not suppose he should count anything out. Cami Q.- Carter

She blinked at him and spoke. "You're going to get dried off and then get some rest and we will keep an eye on you for the next couple ofdays. I have enough food for us to survive since I can go out but there is obviously something going on here." Maybe it was because deep down they were different in their make up. "Sorry I spit in your mouth, I was a little scared and started freaking out." She helped him out and up and eventually put him on the sofa as she decided to relax next to him too. They were both covered in so much of her blue substance as she spoke to him. "Taylor," she said. "You're so blue," she said as she laughed. “I am sure I will stop rubbing off on you soon enough,” she hoped anyway. Dr. Taylor Quinzell

"It's fine," he said. "I think it's helping to cool me off," he said and he did sound hopeful about it which he hoped to help her too. "I am sure it will pass soon enough, plus it forces me to sit here and ask real questions which is good for the both of us." Was she saving up for war though he was curious. "I am thinking about adding a paint room to my apartment. I can turn the extra space into one of those artistic like spaces and I feel like it would get a lot of use, what do you think?"

"Like paintball or like paint people? You know that there is a difference," she said as she laughed. "That actually sounds like it would be amazing. I mean it could have a lot of potential Taylor and I always love all the potential that comes to my door when it comes so if you need help you can always know where to find me." He had a point though, this on and off cool down was making them have to talk which she did not mind either. Dr. Taylor Quinzell

"Well I just meant general paint maybe some glow lights, but if painting a person is something that is going to come into play I almost feel like I would not be doing myself justice passing that up." Why was this so warm and sweet and why did he like it. "I have done a lot but I have never done that." Perhaps their relationships needed first that were both of them. "We should do that one day, or a real date." He disliked dates because he did not know if they would go well but still. "I love you by the way. I'm not trying to spring it on you but I figured if it got out there it might make me less jittery and as I grow learn to be more comfortable." Cami Q.- Carter

She heard what he said and she took a second to hum. "See Taylor," she said calmly because he had not did anything bad and she did not want him to think that. "I love you too, but I am taking it very slow in how I handle it." She had been burned and the truth was entering into what she had she knew it was a chance but still the heart was wild. "You have any ideas for the date?" she asked. "It should be something that we are both into that way we can both appreciate it." Dr. Taylor Quinzell

"I see," he said. "That is understandable since we have a past and things like that," he said as he wiped his forhead. He was so covered in blue ink like stuff that he could not believe it but at least he felt comfortable as he spoke again. "I'm all about time in a way I guess now," he said as he laughed. "As for the date?" Hell no. "I do not know quite yet but it does not mean that it will not be good. I am sure when the times comes the inspiration will find me," he said. As he turned into her he could once again seem to "feel" that she wanted it to be good. "Maybe something with a uniform?" he asked, trying to see how her body reacted to the words instead of her words, though he knew both were important. Cami Q.- Carter

He was still so attached to her, she still wondered what kind of remissions that meant he had been through but it did feel good. Her whole body went calm at the mention of uniform, as she spoke. "A man in uniform?" she asked. "I do like that," she said. She was all about her LARPing deep down in her heart. For a flick of a second, she thought that she felt something shift in him. "Taylor," she said calmly. "Are you scared of me?" Maybe it was not her, maybe it was the strong sense of connection within a short time. "This situation I mean?" Dr. Taylor Quinzell

It might have seemed weird the questions but he knew eventually they were going to need to ask them. "Truthfully, yes," he said. "I only say that because it's different and it's fast and then there is this, unspoken attachment where i feel stuff but you say that you do not." Also her tonguing his mouth down which he had found incredibly hot but it did all come with a slight line of fear. "Honestly I am just going with the flow of the island here," he said as he felt like for the moment his fever had broken which was good. "Got any paint?" he asked her. Cami Q.- Carter

"I get it but we can and will get through it together." She did believe that completely as she heard him ask about the paint and she laughed. "I have like ten medium sized jars," she said as she leaned forward to feel his forehead. "Why do you ask?" she asked as she shook her head. "If you want something just say it. We should be that close after all." Dr. Taylor Quinzell

He double blinked at her touching his forehead, Camila and her little tidbits of caring pieces but he ignored it for the moment. "Oh," he said as he took a second and shrugged. "Just curious is all," he said honestly. "We should go down to the beach with it," he said as he sat up and pulled her up too. "I need to know that you trust me though, since I am going to need you blindfolded," he said. "I promise that only good things will come from it," he said. It was true that they needed to connect over different things but he supposed water might be the best element for them. Cami Q.- Carter
