Bradley let out a tiny yelp of surprise and pain when he grabbed at her arm. She tried to disguise it with a weak smile and swallowed, pulling her hand back. "Thanks..." She looked up at him, hoping he wouldn't have noticed, but she wasn't stupid, it had been blatantly obvious that he'd hurt her.

Bradley scowled at him and held her arm close to her chest. "No...I don't want to." She muttered, her glare turning half-hearted. She hesitated a moment sensing that maybe that wasn't the best thing to do, with a resigned sigh she slowly extended her arm out to him, keeping her lips pursed tightly.
"It's not that bad...I mean...it's...it's good, I enjoy it...it makes me feel better.." She stumbled over her words, trying to explain everything to him before he saw what she had done to herself. Suddenly becoming very aware of where they were she looked around warily.

Harley moved to walk beside Karol and glanced at her, still holding a smirk across his lips. "So tell me Karol, what brings you to this wonderful place?" He asked, his voice drenched in sarcasm.

Harley paused, noticing she looked pretty grumpy, he just found that more entertaining and continued on with his patronizing ways. "And... you're some Goth girl right? So I'm guessing the daughter of... uhmm.. let me think.." He gave a purposeful frown and feigned concentration, savouring the moment and letting the silence drag between them as he continued to 'think'.

Bradley held his gaze for a moment and felt something twist inside of her. Her eyes dropped to the ground, "they found my blades this morning... so don't worry, I won't be doing it for a while." She said, her tone slightly harsher than intended. Brad brought her gaze back up to his, "and by the way, for me, this is good. it's the only sense of relief I can get in this place. So don't tell me what you don't know, i'll do what makes me happy, unless you have any better ideas?" She scolded, tugging her arm out of his grip. She felt her chest tighten, she didn't want to be angry, but it was like there was a constant stream of frustration just boring into her and she had no where to put all of her emotions, letting them out through words sometimes wasn't enough.

Bradley looked up at him and chewed on her bottom lip. "I'm sorry..." She murmured, her anger slowly draining away. "It's not like I want to do it.... but it's additive... it's like a drug in a way.." She explained, looking at him in earnest, hoping he'd understand in someway. "Anyways...you don't look too shabby with all that stubble - it suits you." Brad tried a smile, seeking out some sort of mood change from him. One of the worst things was people being disappointed in her and she could never face it, she'd crack a joke or change the subject in some false hope that they'd forget about it.

Harley shrugged at her. "Bellona? Care to elaborate?" He asked with an inquisitive raise of his eyebrow. He was enjoying this way too much, girls were just so easy to tease, to get under their skin. Where as it was a little harder to irritate guys because the end result for Harley would normally be a black eye or a split lip.

Ryan smiled wider when the boy before him cracked a grin. "You should smile more often, Ty.." He murmured with a small gleam in his eye, sipping his coffee all the while. He knew Tyler wasn't in the best of places at that moment, but he tried everyday to makes things easier for him, even if it was just little things. He just wanted him to be okay.

Ashley nodded quickly and looked up at Aj and stepped a little closer, she brought her hands up to rest on his knees and smiled softly. "I'm great..." She murmured a reply and leant up on her tiptoes, slowly closing the gap between their lips.

At his words, Bradley began to blush once more, her stomach twisting in ways she couldn't explain. "Uhm...no I..i just said it suits you I didn't say I preferred it myself." She replied in a bit of a huff, trying to disguise her discomfort. "I mean... i'm not saying I don't like you - I do.... I mean, no, I mean... you're not bad looking...or...." She looked up at him with wide eyes and then looked away, slightly abashed. "Oh God...i'm so sorry." Brad rubbed her eyes tiredly, "I'm not very good at all this flirting stuff..." She looked back at him, feeling extremely dis-heartened, he probably thought she was a total loser.

Ryan smiled in delight, "Of course, i'd love to." He finished off his coffee and leant forward, placing a kiss on his boyfriend's cheek. "We should probably head out soon... it'll be getting dark soon." He commented, looking out the window.

Harley gave an amused laugh and continued to follow after her. "That's a new one." He commented, considering the threat. "I have to say it's definitely on the creative side of things. My guess is that you love art. I bet you're bedroom back at home is just full of rainbow's and unicorns." He grinned and nudged her with his elbow. "i'm right aren't I?" Harley teased, his voice mocking.

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't replied - I didn't realise someone had posted

So i'm ready to start if everyone else is?
First off, are there any questions or plot lines that any of you want sorted before we start??

Harley let out a small grunt of pain and took a moment to collect himself, scowling as he did. He straightend up and flattened out his shirt before following after the others, a frown on his face.

Okay, so in answer to your question. I think we'll start with a post from each of our sins, just a little bit more information on them, they could be sorting out a plan for attacking one of the other sin's or something along those lines - just do what you want really, I'm open to any add ons to the plot. :)

And I think I'll contact Pride and see if they can post their forum, if there's no reply I would be very grateful if you could try find another person to play that sin.

Instead of stepping away like she normally would have, Bradley stayed where she was and gazed up at him, she raised an eyebrow as if challenging him to continue on with his flirting. "Oh really?" She questioned. Her heart was about to explode and she knew her cheeks were bright red, but she stayed where she was and tried to keep her breathing under control. Was this actually happening? She couldn't form any coherent thought, her mind was a racing blur and she was finding it extremely difficult to settle on an emotion. ''Well maybe you should keep it. It gives you the whole 'Werewolf' kind of feel." She tried to contain the grin that was beginning to form.

Since Marcus had come over to her she had experienced a roller coaster of emotions, but she liked that. He kept her brain awake, he had a sense of vividness and dignity that no one else in that place had. He respected himself in one way or another, which was an incredibly rare trait for one to carry in an asylum.

Harley made his way to the group and caught onto the end of the conversation, he raised an eyebrow and looked at the others. Stepping between Karol and Katie he tucked his hands into his pockets in a nonchalant manner. "I'll go after Jale." He said, his tone a mix of humour and interest. "If that's okay, of course." He smiled patronizingly at Nemesis and rocked back on his heels, knowing that it wasn't exactly a question, but he decided to be polite anyways.

At first Bradley didn't know how to react to his eccentric actions and just stood there dumbly, blinking at Marcus in utter discomfort. "I'm always careful." She stated shortly, knowing that was a stupid response, her cheeks were still burning a vibrant red. She then licked her lips a little, not considering the fact that it was a very suggestive move. "Besides, if you were to bite me, wouldn't I turn into a werewolf too? Isn't that something I would want ? " She repressed a smile, knowing it would come out wonky and awkward. She gripped at the edges of her sleeves with fidgeting fingers, keeping her eyes locked with his, waiting for him to make the next move, her feet were glued to the spot, something was keeping her from leaving. There was an odd charm about Marcus that she couldn't quite wrap her head around, but it was capturing and endearing.

Aww that's a total bummer, Spark. I'm sorry this didn't work out for you :(

Bradley shoved the warden off her with a scowl, her mood disappearing, she glanced at Marcus her cheeks burning, but then looked away turning her attention to the warden. "Fine." She growled in an effort to act unfazed, "Just don't touch me again." She stepped away from him a little and met her gaze with Marcus' once again. Her heart was pounding rapidly, her breathing slightly heavy. "I can find my own way back, I don't need you to escort me." She dug her nails into her palms, trying to keep herself clam.

Her thoughts were racing, flicking between what had just happened and what was currently happening. Brad had never ever experienced anything like that, feeling like her stomach was on fire and her heart was about to burst. It was hard to tell whether she liked it, she knew it was different and oddly addictive... but honestly there was a strange feeling that went along with it, like a sort of tension? or even fear....like she couldn't quite allow herself to relax.
