This Is Dangerous (OPEN)

[Elstan Shadow]

Two weeks holiday. Time to relax, and this was gonna be some holiday. Elstan checked in at The Rising Sun hotel at about ten in the morning. One of her colleagues had recommended this hotel, and apparently loads of SOLDIER operatives stayed here when they came on a well deserved break. The hotel was four stars, and for a four star hotel the prices were reasonable. The silver haired woman saw some SOLDIERs she reckonised and smiled at them as she walked to the elevators with her luggage.

She arrived on the third floor and unlocked her room with her card key. Elstan paid a little bit extra to have the stunning sea view. She opened the doors to her balcony, and breathed in the sea air. "Oh! This is so much more refreshing than the polluted air back in Midgar!" She chuckled to herself. Seagulls cried overhead, children will laughing and screaming playfully as they played with each other. Elstan saw the swimming pool below her, and one of the hunky poolside entertainers. Thoughts crossed her mind about Genesis. He wouldn't be too happy if he found out Elstan had been flirting with other men.

She walked back into her room, leaving the balcony door open. Elstan unpacked her luggage and changed into her black bikini. The ties on the bikini top and bottoms and little skulls attached to them as decoration. Elstan took her towel, which she 'borrowed' from the SOLDIER female showers. After locking up, Elstan made her way outside to the pool.

The sun was lovely and warm, children playing games in the pool, parents telling their little ones not to be too rough with those children younger than them. Elstan found a lounger and lay her towel on it and applied her sun tan lotion. She asked one of her fellow SOLDIERs to do her back (don't worry readers it was a female operative), then she tied her long metallic coloured hair up into a plait and lay in the sun, relaxing and finally getting some peace and quiet. Though something was bound to happen, she could feel it in her gut.

It had been one of those times again where Genesis was unexpectedly “Forced” to take a few days off for “Fun & Relaxation” by then something had to be up with Rufus and the other managerial Chairmen, maybe they were to refurbish the training area or even get rid of the library for something “Useful” but those thoughts were disgusting to think about and even heart breaking to say the least and why they wanted Genesis out of the way he would never know, what about Angeal? What about Sephiroth? Are they up to something too? Another shudder but this next one was cold and deathly as if someone was walking over his grave with HIS version of the book LOVELESS in their grubby little hands, laughing and enjoying the novel he so took to heart with a burning passion and desire to find the Goddess and take his place as the Hero of the people, no, the world!


Genesis’ facial expression was comical at the time whilst he sat near the back of a coach that headed to the resort of Costa del Sol, known for its white sandy beaches, entertainment, and lovely evenings with multiple restaurants which also lined on the side of the famed beached, bars, amusements such as video games and theme park fancies as well. The coach was getting closer to the destination considering there was laughter, fun and frivolity in the location they were headed too, Genesis at the time was wearing a light crimson Hawaii “touristy” light shirt with white prints of palm trees, ¾ length shorts in the shade of a light blue with outlines of white and black thick polystyrene sandals that soaked up the suns head whenever the material had gotten the chance. All in all Genesis was definitely out of his comfort zone in clothing however he was ordered to have fun and the first step is an appearance change but of course he rebelled at the idea until Rufus himself came down from his throne and personally gave Genesis his “Holiday wear” with a tilted smile, closed eyes and then a turned frame which Genesis could have sworn to seeing Rufus having a more Devious smile as he exited the training room that Genesis and the messengers were in at the time.


It took approximately ten minutes until the coach pulled up at a giant, tower-like, awe & shock building that was not there before. The name was catchy and one Genesis liked very much, “The Goddess’ Rest” though the star count of this marvellous hotel was only missing one to hit a perfect score of being a five star hotel, Genesis could see the reality and true nature of a brilliant building that stared out over the crystal blue oceans. A deep breath and then standing up inside the coach, moving down whilst the driver guided and informed everyone to get off, whilst these actions were taking place the hotel’s customer servicers extracted and took the many cases that were piled in the bowls of the large coach and had already began to place the holiday clients bags in their appropriate room.


Genesis on the other hand was looking around at the front lounge where the desk stood in a marble setting, many comfortable chairs littered the reception area in well-placed areas, leaving enough room for groups of holiday goers to pass through without interruption, in the centre of the hotel was an open large area where a pool stood with many artsy pillars and decorations overwhelming the scene to make it look even more fancy and exceptional to the sight. Genesis approached the counter, dark shades sat on the top of his auburn coloured hair and a slip in his right hand, giving the slip to the receptionist at the time and a well-placed smile Genesis in return was given a key card which also had his room number and level. Soon after the SOLDIER swiftly made his way to the elevators which counted level from basement to level one hundred.


The elevators were roomy but unfortunately outfitted with the annoying “supposed cheery” music that placed in the background, a facial expression of discomfort could be seen until he hit level 99, a quick sigh of relief and a hasty exit of the elevator. Genesis quickly looked over the fancy looking banister which again was outfitted with marble, he looked down to find a long drop and a horde of new comers entering the large establishment and setting themselves up with the receptionist. A massive chandelier loomed over the level 76 floor which would soon light up the entire levels at night to give off the sense of nobility; a small smile curved the side of his peerless lips as he averted his eyes to find door number 137. It had taken a while whilst he calmly took in the scenery of the hotel and the many views he could see in the windows he passed by but finally he made it, taking his key card in hand and slotting through the entry scanner and confirmed with a green light to enter the room.


Genesis was met with a large interior that filled the space from the glory of the old era, which clean shoots, artistic paintings on the ceiling, pillars on each corner of the room to make the space look fuller, detailed artistry in the bathroom, shower, bath, and balcony. All was very impressive; his luggage awaited him on the side of his double bed and thus began to unpack. In a short while of finishing the SOLDIER decided to explore, his sandaled feet patted against the surface of the floor marble, entering the elevator, hitting the ground button, pulling an annoying face once more considering he was forced to hear the horrid music once more, exited and finally went outside through the back entry of the hotel which came to the white sandy beached. A breath taking sight as he stared endlessly into the clear blue oceans, the smell of the clean salt filled his nostrils at first but on the second and third sniff he had gotten used to the smell, now all he needed to do was to find something to do....Odd...

Elstan opened her eyes and looked at her phone which was on a plastic table beside her. She was so bored, she needed some sort of excitment. "Hey are there any decent bars in town?" she asked a SOLDIER next to her. "Yeah, there's one called Lover's Leap." the boy said. Elstan sighed and streched. A child jumped in the water causing water to go everywhere. It splashed all over Elstan. "Hey look where you're diving you little punk!" she yelled. She felt her phone vibrate. It was from HQ with a list of the operatives that were on holiday leave. Elstan had to double take when she saw Genesis's name. "Wow, he's not one to take holidays." Elstan mumbled. A though crossed her mind, it would be nice to see him again, if only she keep keep the demon within her at bay. Elstan gathered up her things and went back to her room.

When she got back, she flicked a switch and the fan started to rotate. She was tempted to send Genesis a message. After all only Sephiroth, Angeal and that mere 2nd Class, Kyrie knew that Genesis and Elstan were seeing each other. She chuckled to herself as she knew neither Rufus or the Director knew about her brother's relationship or her own. Ellie jumped in the black marble shower. She gave her hair a good wash and her body, though being careful to avoid her new tattoo. She got out and looked into the crystal framed mirror. "What if he doesn't want to see me?" she questioned herself. She ran out of the bathroom and grabbed her phone.

Hi Genesis,
I was wondering if you'd meet me tonight at Lover's Leap bar. Accourding to another operative at my hotel its one of three adults only bars. If you could, please meet me there at seven. I would like to see you again.

Love,
Ellie xx

Elstan wasn't really that mushy, but if it was boyfriend or family then her sensitive side showed itself. It was nearing on to 6:25PM. Elstan had to get dressed she would hate to turn up late and have Genesis thinking she stood him up. Then again she was more paranoid over him, all those fan girls, then again she did put one in hospital for getting too close to Genesis. Not a good idea. SOLDIER Assassian 1.... Normal human person thing 0.

Elstan dressed in a summer dress that had skulls on the front and was black from the sides to the back. Her sandles had the Jolly Roger symbol on the strap and were kinda platformed, she put a necklace on and a few rings and headed out the door.

Elstan got there about 6:55PM. Perfect. The music was thumping and various love songs byr rock bands were playing. She sat at the bar and ordered herself a cocktail. All she had to now was wait. If he wasn't coming then she'd text her friends and party with them until the wee hours of the morning. Then again she was planning on getting pissed this holiday.

Click me for the outfit!

It had been a few hours and Genesis was already settling in with a smile still pasted to the corner of his lips as he stood under the deep blue skies that reflected off the ocean¡¦s surface, the tint shone on his right cheek as his gaze was examining the Banana boats, Fly fish, Jet-Ski, Paragliding and Scoober diving activities that had been taking place. Excited he didn¡¦t know what to try first, shirtless with his athletic frame, supple muscle structure and peerless skin blanketed the heat of the sun under his moist skin from the heat. At the time Genesis was only dressed from the waste downwards wearing crimson swimming shorts, bear feet and of course shirtless, attention was drawn to him like women in a shoe store whilst discount season was still open. He never cared much for the oceans of females but rather what he wanted to do first, it only took a few seconds for the Auburn haired SOLDIER to make his mind up, Jet-Ski it was.


It cost 200Gil per person for an hour and of course it was the season for Holiday holders so the prices would lower for more customers to be attracted to the activity, Genesis had already paid the kindly-looking fellow who looked in his mid thirties, wearing a yellow and green Hawaii T-short and blue shorts with sandals, a bushy moustache masked his lips but the expression that were in the eyes told Genesis the man was quiet pleased and of course would give any tips if needed. Genesis on the other had was raring to go, he efficiently outfitted himself into proper life jacket sizes and clipped himself in, then, picking the correct Jet-Ski that will hold his weight and still allow power and thrust of speed, he wasn¡¦t a light little boy after all, then once all the preparations were made he pulled back on the throttle of the Jet-ski, loving the growl it suddenly made a mischievous smile only coiled more up on those lips, suddenly with a great burst of speed Genesis ploughed through the oceans face and glided across the sea¡¦s in an instant. The waves launched him up into the air and as such being a show-off he performed a few tricks, some including hand stands, others included the superman and for a grand finally a standing on the seat of the Jet-Ski and in a fighting pose, mimicking as if he held his blade within his hand, it was the ultimate show off but photogenic display the crowed had ever seen.


After his time was up and he was satisfied with his tricks and ¡§fun¡¨ it had already turned to mid-evening where the sun was beginning to set. Genesis decided it was time to heat to his room; he had a long travel getting here and spent half of the day wondering the town¡¦s area and coast line where he found multiple bars that had adult ¡§entertainment¡¨ for the mature and amused. It was 5:30PM when the SOLDIER got to his room, all his clothes were unpacked and put away in the correct areas of his living space, his mobile phone however shone with a eerie white light in the darkness until the light was flicked on to reveal the artistry and detail of the rooms decor. Genesis however entered the shower first to get the salt off his body, intricately.


After his shower, wrapping his waste in a white, clean fresh towel he motioned to the double bed and find his phone received a new message, taking a seat he flicked through pressing multiple buttons and brushed through unnecessary areas of the phone like the internet and photos then he saw Elstan¡¦s message.

¡§Hi Genesis,
I was wondering if you'd meet me tonight at Lover's Leap bar. Accourding to another operative at my hotel its one of three adults only bars. If you could, please meet me there at seven. I would like to see you again.

Love,
Ellie xx¡¨


Genesis was at first surprised considering he didn¡¦t think he would run into his partner, he guessed something¡¦s can be foreseen but it was a nice surprise none the less and one he was sure he would enjoy to a great extend and thus he tapped away once again on numerous buttons until he finally made a message with a reply, after making said message he sent it with best hopes that it would get to her at the earliest possible moment, which of course would be seconds but Genesis was weird like that.


"Hey Beautiful.
I'd love to, the time sounds great considering I've been scouting out the area, and they have some nice shops and bars around here as well as amusements. Bet I could beat you at some games , I can¡¦t wait to see you though and I¡¦m happy your hear Elstan, I'll see you there!¡¨


He felt like a junior SOLDIER-In-Training again and it felt good, another small smile crossed his lips and this without a moment¡¦s notice he quickly turned to his cupboards to find bundles of smart shirts, jeans, trousers, shoes, gloves, belts and other assortments . It had taken him until 6:00PM to get properly dressed, putting on some cologne and picking the proper shoes then getting out of the door.


Genesis at the time had made it to the Lover¡¦s Leap Bar at 7:01PM being fashionably late by a single minute, he approached the area considering it was an open bar on the beach coast line, many adults of different shapes, sizes, genders, cultures, races and creeds were chattering amongst themselves as tables were placed out on a large encompassing platform, waiters and waitresses served patrons at the main bar whilst others say in their seats talking on better, happy times of their day. Genesis approached the bar wearing a ebony black lone-sleeved shirt with matching smart trousers, black comfortable shoes and a chain with an embedded Rosario with Crimson outlines decorating and patterning the silver metal that glistened in the light of the open bar. Music was playing and those on the dance floor moved to the sound in fluid motions that entertained or distracted other customers. The smartly dressed and attention, attracting Genesis sat next to the Silver-haired female he called his partner and with a small smile he leaned over whilst her head was turned to the table and gently whispered in her left ear with a playful tone "Hello Stranger¨.

[Elstan Shadow]

When 7:00PM came, Elstan was beginning to think Genesis wasn't coming. She fiddled with the diamond encrusted ring on her right ring finger. Elstan was normally cool and collected, but tonight, for some odd reason, she was as nervous as an Infantryman on his or hers first day at SOLDIER. Elstan remembered those days, and they day she saw Genesis for the first time, she never thought she'd be his lover. A light blush scattered across her cheeks. There really was a soft side to this hard girl, but it rarely came out. She looked through her handbag and came across and necklace box. She opened it, only to find the silver 'Loveless' male style necklace in it. She had bought it for Genesis a while back.

Elstan sighed and looked towards the people sitting in the sofas. People were here in Costa De Sol to get away from their normal, everyday lives. However, those that were in SOLDIER were far from normal. She looked at her phone. She read Genesis' message. He was coming. She smiled to herself. "Hello Stranger." Someone whispered in her ear. Genesis. She turned around and smiled. "Its been a while." She said, blushing very dark shades of red. She had been with Genesis for over a month now, why was she still acting like one of his stupid fan girls? He looked sexy to say the least, and there she was in goth style dress, tats on show, but she left her snake bites out of her lip tonight.

She then sighed. "Genesis I have something for you." She said and handed him a box. "Its a locket I hope you like it." She smiled. Elstan took his hand and squeezed it lovingly. She then rested her head on him, happy to be with her partner once more.

[kriivanwinters]

His eyes were concealed by the shade of his hair, but those tender light mako feline eyes were gentle still and ever carried the emotion of example for passion and romance, the scene was set and the music kept the emotion in place. genesis' glance turned into a motion whilst his attention stayed onto the locket to which his Elstan collected for him as a present, a gift? How unexpected, and a lovely thought to begin with.


But of curse he had nothing to offer her in return a part from one thing, but it also depends on her abilities as well of course even if she is a SOLDIER it would take a master of sensitivity and grace to accompany the Auburn-haired gentleman in his desire to... Dance, and a graceful type at that for even though a dark presense of music was pounding out the shouting behind the two of them. there would be a song that ordered sensibility. "Thank you Elstan, where did you get the Gil to afford this?" The locket looked expenssive, ancient even and dressed in a fine materia. Something genesis pondered at the time.

[Elstan Shadow]

Elstan chuckled... "Well, the Assassin Division is paid better than SOLDIER and the Turks put together." She said. It was true, Assassins were skill, silent killers and theey would never break a contract. "Well my last job was for Rufus himself... Though I did ask him to send one of the Rank Four Assassins but he wanted the job done properly so I told him to pay me a bit extra than my usual salary." She said. Elstan smiled and took Genesis' hand in her own. "The Assassin Division works similar to SOLDIER. Rank Four is a novice, Rank Three, intermediate, Rank Two advanced and Rank One, master." She explained.

Elstan lit up a cigarette and ordered another drink for them both. "Besides," she said as she blew out a cloud of hazy, grey smoke. "You SOLDIERs get all the cake jobs, its we Assassins who do most of the dirty work." She winked at him. Elstan had asked Sephiroth to join the Assassins so many times, but he always chickened out. "I asked my brother to join countless times but he seriously is a coward at heart." She giggled.

Why was it that Shinra seemed to insist that everyone take a break at the same time? Costa del Sol. The last place she would find relaxing. Of course it also seemed to be Hojo's turn to go, and of course again she was dragged along. No, he couldn't bare to just leave her alone back at the labs. Admittedly that would be a rather stupid idea, he was smart, but too smart for her to pull anything over.

She stands in the shade beneath a canopied patio, sighing irritably as she stared out at the leaping waves that children were screaming and playing in. How...annoying. She blows a strand of hair out of her eyes, ignoring the calls of random men that every now and then walked by and saw her. She wasn't even in the mood to play her little seduction game. These people were pretty useless as it was, no need to attempt to make their lives even more miserable.

She glances over, her eyes widening before narrowing slightly as she caught a glimpse of Hojo off in the distance. Her icy blues shifting to a striking silver momentarily as she watched the girls around him. So he was allowed to pull something off like this yet she could hardly touch another man without him threatening to punish her. Well, what he didn't know wouldn't kill him. She rolls her eyes as they shift back to blue and shakes her head. She had been in plenty of strange scenarios before, but this was truly ridiculous.

She wore a black top, open laces stretching across her chest and narrowing as they traveled down her torso. Thin black straps also twisted down her arms. The outfit was accompanied by a black skirt that hung lower in the back then it did in the front along with thigh high boots. She wasn't in a swimsuit, she wasn't planning on going in that filthy water.

She hated it, the gritty sand, the annoying girls, the sun that threatened to burn her skin off. Even though it couldn't...her cells allowed for expedited healing. Any small abrasure or scratch healed within seconds, however the deeper the cut the longer it took to heal. A sunburn was minor, something her skin could handle yet she still felt no desire to frolic around in it.

She continues to scowl out across the all too jovial scenery. This couldn't possibly get any worse.
