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.

Full circle moments are not meant to be sad but meant to be appreciated and understood. Now that these women were simply shredding their parts and welcoming his children this was something that he understood even more. As his emotions were parting like the sea he was gratefully coming back around to the things that he wanted and needed to do, things that he knew he had to do right and the truth was, he had never truly taken in what it meant for his sister to like someone of the same sex. How brave he had found that to be at least until he had met Carter. Granted being a bisexual was no where near the same as being into the same sex but still he thought it might be enough to make everything work out. So he had invited the three of them to meet him at Mavericks, no kids. Dr. Carter Q. StratinMallory Q. NottinghamMadison Nottingham-Quinzell

ABBA suggested they wanted a man after midnight in one of their famous songs. Some people here still might want that but she had Mallory with her and didn’t need anybody else. So in a sexy black dress that was backless, sleeveless and short she was looking good for her girlfriend and feeling good herself. This was also her favourite bar during the day and nightclub once it got dark. So this was a no kids night. Just them and that included Carter. So entering the club with her girlfriend she could see the DJ was whipping the dance floor dwellers into a frenzy already. Dr. Carter Q. StratinDr. Taylor QuinzellMallory Q. Nottingham

They didn't date. Carter was not really sure what they did, he called it hanging out and that was enough. He knew they were times where it was hot and times like tonight where it was just hanging out. If he ever found out that they were dating he'd probably get real quiet, still as the strike of the early morning and night hours played he did make his way in. "Taylor," he said as he blinked and took a seat. He was playing this by ear because he had no idea what he was supposed to do. Was this a date, this better not be a date. Mallory Q.

She had never been to this place not that she was against it. She also would be glad when Cami had her babies so they could do girl stuff, like have periods in sync and eat ice cream for no real reason because the testoterone levels were getting really high in this little group and she did not hate it but she did need more estrogen. The funniest part of this whole situation was how Taylor openly had relationships with two Stratin siblings since she had heard their was a third running around somewhere. Classic Man Boss move honestly. Hilariously even more was the fact that Mallory had been somewhat wrong since Carter was Taylor's boy toy or Taylor was Carter's boy toy, it was still so stringy. Still major points forward for Taylor seeming to realize that his sister was indeed dating someone of the same gender and FINALLY seeming to show that it was okay, not that she had ever thought that he did not get it, but boy did it seem that HE GOT IT COMPLETELY! "Madison," she said. "You know what I'm not even going to ruin this." Hey she had a bit of a heart, barely. She looked at Taylor and sighed. "So is this our official introduction to your boyfriend?"

Taylor took a minute and waved them all over. "Guys come on, don't worry my emotions are better today." It felt good to finally be having his children out and he knew that he could and would love them. He looked at Carter, oh right the rule of unspoken rules. "Relax, please Carter." If you did not say it then there was no way it could possibly be as true as it was. He looked at Mallory and spoke. "No, this is just me coming and seeing where Madison hangs out and it felt more appropriate to bring Carter." Was it a double date? Sure. Was he going to say that, no because he felt that might make everyone either slightly uncomfortable or just be like of course. "Do you guys not like this place?"

At this stage they could just about talk as she knew this place well. It was Mallory’s first time and you could feel the energy already in this nightclub. Mallory then said she wasn’t going to ruin this and then she asked if this was the official introduction. They’d met Carter earlier on while he was letting Gillian, Jacob and Mia play kid volleyball. So at a table for four with this being the first time here for Carter and Taylor it was up to Madison to show them around. “Of course I like this place. Just wait until the DJ’s beats get into your soul and you can get funky on the dance floor” she replied cheerfully. Who was Taylor really trying to kid here? “I’ll get the first round in. What do you want?” she posed as they had cocktails, shorts, shots and beers. Something for everybody. She also wanted to give her girl a good time before the real good time started when they got home. Dr. Taylor Quinzell Dr. Carter Q. Stratin Mallory Q. Nottingham

He took a second and he finally took a seat. What in the hell was he supposed to say because hi seemed a little too late. He looked at the women and took a minute to think of what to say and then he turned to Taylor. This broke all the rules, but he had to be the strong one and not let him get away with this after one possibly two drinks. "I need two sazeracs if you please" he said. At this point he was here and might as well enjoy himself. He had taken his medication so he would not get too wild, but he did look at Taylor again. He put his hands over his face and shook his head as he removed them. "I'm going to get you back for this but in the morning." He did need to loosen up just a little bit. Mallory Q.

She took a second to try and look over this situation. "I think I should be the sober one tonight," she said. The truth was she was not sure how the contents of this alcohol would mix with her electricity but she had yet to test it out. Plus in case this got blurry she needed to recall the events of the night. She did give Madison a look however that said "Are they on a date" without actually saying it out loud. "Oh yes we've met Carter and those children," she said as she smiled. Look at this little whoreish married man flaunting his side piece all out in the public, though she supposed he had no reason to hide Carter anymore. She really needed to talk to Cami but honestly marriages were wild so whatever. "Carter you look so," she paused trying to find the word. "Well you look caught off guard. Look we, well no, the three of you are like family now. No need to be ashamed if you like climbing the male Quinzell no one can blame you." Dr. Taylor QuinzellMadison Nottingham-QuinzellDr. Carter Q.

"I'm just trying to have a nice night, early morning," he said as he looked at them. It was a truth for once but he did just want to see how Carter did in a smaller crowd. "Plus I mean Carter is family friend?" He had settled this in his head. "I mean he's my boyfriend?" Yes his life was a mess. "He's my wife approved man friend with benefits?" He said it without shame of course. "I don't know I just thought it would be nice to hang out and be cool and get drunk and worry about everything in the morning. Don't worry I won't stick my tongue in his mouth or anything like that." Madison Nottingham-QuinzellDr. Carter Q. StratinMallory Q. Nottingham

Carter made his drink selection, Mallory wanted a soft drink and she would get a cosmo. Her brother hadn't made his suggestion so she'd get him a rum cocktail. "Yeah Taylor. Its what Mallory said. Carter is family now no matter how you two define it" she chuckled. She also knew what that look meant and raised and eyebrow in response. It didn't really matter what they called this outing; everybody needed to let of steam, perhaps get drunk and then blame it on the boogie later on. "I'll be be back with drinks. Won't be long" she added with a smile and there was a little queue for now. With her sexy dress and little heels it was a reminder to Mallory what she had waiting for her later on and once they got dancing tonight. They would certainly be shaking ass tonight. Mallory Q.

He was forever calm as he listened to the exchange. It was light, happy, and that was something that he did like as he kept his thoughts to himself. Alcohol being involved was always a plus but he shook his head as he heard Taylor rambling about how to word it. No wonder most of his friends were women. "It is what it is," he said. What that was seemed to change from time to time but he was fine with it. At least that was what he told himself. "Climb?" He laughed at that as he thought about it. "I see," he said.as he watched Madison leave to get the drinks. "I am going to go help Madison, be right back." He carefully moved himself from the table and made his way over to Madison. "Madison" he said calmly. "Is this a date?" He was so confused though he did not think he should be. "I am trying to figure out if your brother is taking me on a date or if this is just like a friend hangout." He could do everything but date. Well no he could date they had just never actually dated. It was like time with a big group of people but this felt different. "Would you say that your brother is taking me on a date right now?" Mallory Q.

She nodded and went to go speak when both Madison and Carter were gone. "Wow but this gives us time to talk. Taylor you need to pull your shit together. I get it you had to get oats sucked or something but respectfully Cami is my friend, she's letting you have your boyfriend, I need you to pull yourself together for her. Don't care about the rest of your bitches." She almost railed back to hit him and remembered she was in a public place. "Also do not use me and madison for a cover up for dates with your boyfriend!!" The audacity of this man. "Look at him, he scat so damn fast I thought he was a cat." Dr. Taylor QuinzellMadison Nottingham-QuinzellDr. Carter Q. Stratin

Madison could be quite direct with her brother but Mallory didn't mince words and was a lot less subtle about it. Meanwhile Carter had joined Madison at the bar as she waited to place her orders. She didn't expect this either so looked a little surprised. Then came the questions. To date or not to date by her brothers definition of the idea. "Carter, when Mallory and myself go out it usually is a date. It's how you get close as a couple" she replied. However if it was a date would depend on what Taylor told him. She also had been taking on more with Cami and the mommas in the harem and frankly had less time to deal with BS whatever the source of it. Even before you got to baby sitting. "What did he say it was? Because it could be a date. You did ask a yes or no question and I'm taking a guess saying any of those answers" she added. By now she was having to speak slightly louder as near the bar you were getting some of the DJ rocking the joint. Dr. Carter Q. StratinMallory Q. NottinghamDr. Taylor Quinzell

This man was about to have ten kids he did not have time for games any longer. "Why do you think I'm here tonight? I need one last like thing before i go off and be husband of the year. I thought that hanging with my sister was the answer and I'm not using anyone. Carter really does need to learn to get out more. Not as much as me and I do not know why he ran off like that," he said as he laughed. "Funny though," he said as he heard the music getting louder. "Let me go save Madison," he said as he got up. "I'll send her back to you and wait in line for the drinks," he said as he made his way over. "Hello," he said as he looked at his sister. "Madison you are here for fun go be with your girlfriend before she does something terrible to me." Oh right his tone and lauguage. "Go be with your girlfriend please so you can have some fun." He sighed as he looked at Carter. "Carter," Geez. "It's alright okay? I would not have brought you here if it was not." This particular part of Taylor's life was not complicated to be honest. It was just about safety but they were being completely weird. "I thought this was a fun place and you guys do not look like you are having fun," he said as he took the drinks to the table and waited on Madison and Carter to return. Dr. Carter Q.

"He never says anything" he said which was fine. He wanted to run out the door when he seen Taylor coming over but he stayed as he listened and he shrugged. "You have been here like five minutes," he said as he still stood where he was. He felt safe, just very public. He did not have any real problem with how he was and who he liked but he had yet to accept it or say what it was out loud. He motioned for Madison to follow him as he went back to the table and turned to Taylor. "I need to talk to you," he said. "Excuse us a second," he said to Madison and Mallory as he pulled Taylor to come with him. He put him in a dark corner and begin to speak. "Sorry for my freak out, the energy here is a lot," he said. "It is a nice place though and your sister in law is a bit scary. Your sister is pretty cool though." Mallory Q. NottinghamMadison Nottingham-QuinzellDr. Taylor Quinzell
