message 101: by [deleted user] (new)

Quin opened the doors that led to the Study and immediately jumped on the couch so that he can relax. "This is the life," he groaned out as the muscles on his back finally released the tension. Entwining his fingers on the back of his head he called out, "Shale! Stefan! You turtles! Where are you?" Smiling to himself, he wondered why he haven't have thought of just introducing himself the first minute he came to town. He would have not felt like this if he did that.

Stefan took a detour to the nearest bathroom on their way to fix his hair, thankfully there wasn't much cream on it. He didn't know what was going in between him and Quin, but it was weird and awkward. He walked back to the study that was just a couple of rooms away from the bathroom, how many rooms does this place have!
"Well someone's enjoying the couch, that's your treat for being a good boy" he said ruffling Quins' hair like a pet to get back at him for the cream. Walking towards one of the shelves he scanned for a certain magenta red book with some green straps but he couldn't quit locate it.


message 103: by [deleted user] (new)

Quin just shrugged at the ceiling since he was nearly lying on the couch. "Well somebody should try it sometime," that came out wrong. He flushed and was glad that Stefan can't see it from his position near the bookshelves. What the hell was wrong with him? Why the hell was he saying these things to Stefan? These questions kept on running in his mind and he with a laugh he told Stefan, "Never would have pegged myself to be queer but I don't know what this is so just let it go, okay?" He kept his tone light since whatever this is won't last. That was him and his relationships, short and meaningless.

Stefan was focused on finding the book that he didn't listen to a word Quin said just bits and pieces. "I have no idea what you're talking about" he said still scanning the shelves. He was started to worry when his eyes finally caught the book. He sighed in relief as he pulled the book from between the book.
Sitting on an armchair next to Quin he opened the book looking for a certain spell that should be casted on the potion as it brewed "God this library is so stuffed with honorable shit" shaking his head "aha found it" he ear dogged the page.


message 105: by [deleted user] (new)

Thank God for small favors. He swung his legs to the side so that he can sit up, "Yeah, the only things that are not honorable are," he let his words hand as he pointed to himself and then to Stefan. With a shrug he looked at the page with interest, as he read it quickly he took the book off Stefan's hands so that he can read it better. As he memorized the spell over over again in his head he turned to Stefan, not noticing that his hair looked like it was bird's nest.

"Yeah I should talk to Hunter about that, it's not fair." he knew that Hunter has been leader for a couple of years so he had nothing to do with the mansion. "Memorize the spell all you want, I'm casting it anyway" He snorted as he noticed Quins' hair shaking his head. "You do realize you look like hell right?" Maybe him caring so much about looks is why people think he's gay. There's nothing wrong with wan


message 107: by [deleted user] (new)

Quin raised a hand to his hair and just shrugged. "Like I care what I look like, women still want this," he motioned to himself with a dramatic hand. Not that he was bragging or anything, okay so he is bragging but it's still true that no matter how long he didn't showered or combed his hair women still chased him. It was a blessing sometimes when he needed a quick lay but most of the time it's a curse when he wants to screw with other people. Women just gets in his way.

message 110: by [deleted user] (new)

Quin turned to Shale with a seductive smile and with a finger he pointed to her, "Well my dear, if I do turn on the charm you would be eating out of my hand." He told her in a husky tone, settling back on the couch with a fluid movement.

Stefan couldn't help but snort "oh if I had your ego, my family would've let me run this town by now" shaking his head he thought of his family's disappointment that he didn't use his title to it's fullest potential. Meaning throwing it around to scare the shit outta people.


message 112: by [deleted user] (new)

"Nice to know...not!" He said in a slow voice like he was talking to a child. Whatever is going between them, he still finds it amusing to act an asshole among them.

"It's not complicated for a deprived" he shrugged. He already knew how to prepare the potion, he used to help control the magic of some of the people with him in rehab. The spell however is the tricky part because it's too damn long so he needs an open book with him. He stood up and quickly pulled a couple of hairs from the back of his head and stepped back quickly "Ingredients" he said raising his hands in defense


message 114: by [deleted user] (new)

"That's weird," Quin commented in a lazy tone as he looked at the strands pointedly. Not that he didn't use it in the past but seeing it on another person was just plain freaky to him. Nonetheless he shrugged, "Not that I know any better." Of course he knew better since he had memorized the spell and the ingredients while he was reading it. With a clap of his hands he leaned forward to see what Stefan would do next.

Stefan got up and opened a huge wardrobe in the corner of the room, taking out a cauldron, a phial of salamander blood, a pack of dried Valerian springs, and powdered moonstone setting each item carefully on a tray. He closed the wardrobe and went for an empty desk and put the ingredients on mixing them together with light rather than fire which is less messy.

The potion needed only 15minutes to brew, which were spent in silence, when it was done stefan put the potion in a phial and motioned for Quin to lay on the couch.

"After you drink this, you'll be out of it. But you have a decision to make, to limit your powers i'll have to extract some of them and keep them somewhere safe. This somewhere is either an orb or a person" he handed Quin the phial and waited for his response.


message 116: by [deleted user] (new)

Quin laid on the couch not because he was following Stefan's orders but because his body was so damn heavy and his head felt like it was about to explode. With a groan he covered his eyes with his arm. "How much is out of it?" He asked without moving. Being high was not a prospect he wanted but if he wanted to live, he might as well try. Since he closed his eyes, he wondered where Jax was. If he left town, Quin would be really pissed about having to drag him back all over again.

Stefan said something about an object to where he can keep his magic for now so with a wave of his other hand he produced a tiny orb, about the size of a pea with a chain that looked like it was a necklace of some sort. "This can do hold my power. The stone is pure opal so it can withstand it," he told them as he held the necklace out.

Moshira El Balamony (musho) | 1466 comments Mod
Stefan was gonna make some snarky comment but refrained as Quin casted the orb "Do you wish to die? Really, you'd save me all the trouble" grabbing the necklace from his hand. He was weak as he is, and producing and orb from thin air isn't exactly basic magic. If he keeps abusing his magic like that, no spell would help him.

Deciding not to waste anymore time before Quin does anything stupid he put his hand to Quin's heart hesitantly then more confident he started muttering the spell from the book, it was in French, this is why he never got to learn it
" Magie Noire j'appelle à toi, Je vous demande de venir pour moi. Retirez tous les pouvoirs sauf ceux que je demande à conserver" Quin took a deep breath then became still as his powers left his body.
After forming a powere sphere in his hand he chanted the part he knows by heart to enclose the magic in the orb
"Dark energy in my hand let my hands understand not to bright and not to dark stay intact and play your part" Quin was completely out by now and his magic was flowing in strings from Stephan's hand into the orb.

When the transition was complete he collapsed on a chair. Quin will be out for about 30 minutes maybe an hour.

((Where's Josie?))


message 119: by [deleted user] (new)

Quin opened his eyes, not even moving after it. What the hell just happened? He asked himself. He remembered something about a spell. Was it a spell? He thought grimly. He breathed in and out, letting the air refresh his mind and that's when it all hit him.

Stefan, the conniving ass, had put a spell on him without warning him first. He checked all of his reserves and he was shocked to feel that it was gone.

"Stefan!!!" He shouted as he shot up on the couch. What can he do without his powers? He would be useless and vulnerable to all of these people around him who seems to be ever-changing about him. "Stefan! Get your ass in here!" He roared yet again and this time he leaped out of the couch with tension running in his body.

In the back of his mind, he knew that he had agreed to this but having all of his magic taken away from him was like a piece of himself torn from his sense of well-being. No one had succeeded in the past and he wondered just how powerful Stefan was but all of that vanished away as anger and rage shook his whole body.

Stefan walked into the study with a sandwich in hand and orange juice in the other. "Good morning sunshine" he predicted an irritated Quin but as he saw his flush face he contemplated running for his life.

"I got my ass here what do you have in mind" he said leaning against the doorframe wiggling his eyebrows. He knew he was risking his face but couldn't help himself. He didn't doubt he would fail in taking Quin's magic away but it was more exhausting than usual.


message 121: by [deleted user] (new)

Quin visibly growled at Stefan who was acting like taking away his powers was a small thing. "What the hell had you done?" He asked in a strained voice as he forced himself to stand in place. He didn't want to lose the trust he had earned for his unwelcome anger of finding out that his powerless but he at least found a way to warn himself that if he punched Stefan's lights out right now, it was back to square one for him.

Moshira El Balamony (musho) | 1466 comments Mod
"I took away MOST of your powers and trapped them in an orb like WE agreed" he says not missing a beat finishing his sandwich. "To give your body a break from the excessive magic till you're stable" drowning the sandwich with the juice he continued "you still can do minor spells, but no major ones and absolutely no dark magic" putting the glass on a desk he collapsed on a couch opposite from Quin beaming just for the sake of irritating him.


message 123: by [deleted user] (new)

Just like that, the fight in him drained away. He sighed as he sat on the couch back again. It was all his fault that he was in this mess. He shouldn't have wiped Jax's mind over and over again without getting the brunt of the consequences that followed. He put his hands on his face and just covered it. He knew that Stefan was there but having his powers taken away from him, even though he had agreed was too much for him to take. He breathed in and out and that's when he felt a tear slid on his cheek. Wiping it away quickly since he was mortified that Stefan would find him a pussy if he didn't.

Stefan was suspicious of Quin's silence and when he raised his head to check if he collapsed or something he found his breathing was heavy. "Hey man it's just for a couple of days" Stefan said awkwardly leaning closer to Quin. He had a weird impulse to sit closer to him and rub his back or something. What the fuck Stefan. Shaking his head "You already look miserable with that hair of yours you wanna have wrinkles from frowning too?" In fact he liked how Quin's hair sticks everywhere and he kind of envied him, his hair would never do that.


message 125: by [deleted user] (new)

Quin didn't move from his place. Not once had he felt like the world was ending but this time it felt like it just did. He was useless and he had no means of protecting himself against the nightmares that had always plagued him when no shield around his mind would lock it away. Slowly letting his hands fall to his lap he looked at Stefan in the eye, not bothering to hide his semi-red eyes. "I'm fine," he said in tight voice.

"Yeah sure you look fine, except we're not in hell" He said digging through his pocket his hand finding the orb. Holding it out "Here's your magic" he said handing it to Quin. He noticed that Quin was way too upset about this than he should be so he stopped joking around "What is it?" He asked looking at him seriously. There must be something wrong because it's not a big deal living a couple of days magic-less!


message 127: by [deleted user] (new)

He took the orb with shaking hands before clasping it around his neck where it would stay until his body can handle his magic. He didn't answer Stefan as he stood up and stretched, the shirt he was wearing striding up a few inches showing his abs. He quietly adjusted the knife he had strapped at his back. Not that he was thinking of using it but if ever they did want to harm me he would be prepared. "I'm just f*cked that's all," he said in a light tone.

"Not exactly flash news now is it?" He replies relaxing a bit. A jackass Quin is way better than a crying one, at least he knows how to deal with. "As much as I'm enjoying the show" he says pointing to Quin's bare stomach "don't you feel like you need to change? How long have you been in those rags?" He asks disapprovingly. Maybe he is gay after all, it'll explain his obsession.


message 129: by [deleted user] (new)

"Why? Am I harming you with my smell?" Quin asked as he settled into a relaxed stance. He was having trouble separating his fun self from the one who has all the shit. He was a bi and he didn't mind doing Stefan if it takes his mind of not having magic. The only problem was that if Stefan would agree to it.


message 130: by Moshira (new)

Moshira El Balamony (musho) | 1466 comments Mod
Stefan shook his head "Very much" he said. It actually didn't bother him at all Quin didn't smell anyway, he was just surprised how can someone stand wearing the same thing for days. "How do you plan on spending your upcoming magic less days? You're not just gonna sulk in the study all the time now are you?" Stefan wondered about checking up on Hunter but he had specifically asked to be left alone.


message 131: by [deleted user] (new)

Quin sighed dramatically and stood up like a dancer. "I'm not if you agree to this small thing." He said in a whisper as he took a step closer to Stefan. He was distracting himself and this was amusing because he's sure that Stefan wouldn't accept what he is going to ask for him. Taking another step he was now in front of Stefan who was leaning against the doorjamb, "I dare you to kiss me."

Moshira El Balamony (musho) | 1466 comments Mod
Stefan's mind went blank. Was Quin serious? This is so awkward, yeah there's been tension between them but he never considered acting upon it! Okay maybe he did but not so soon. The look of horror and bewilderment was obvious on his face that Quin smirked a little. Well two can play this game "Kiss you? What are you a seventh grader?" He pushed a surprised Quin back a little. "Be more creative Quin, I hate wasting time" he knew he was all talk and would chicken out, but the surprised look on Quin's face was worth it.


message 133: by [deleted user] (new)

Quin's mind was blank as Stefan pushed him back. Was Stefan thinking about doing something more or was he just playing games with him. He will never be bested so with chuckle he shook his head, "I'd never thought that you're so easy to bluff it out." He wanted this to happen. He was taking advantage of Stefan but could he be accused of it? Heck no, it was Stefan's fault that he was acting like this yet again with a person and he wanted it to be over so that he can have some meaningless screws with the million women in the world.

Moshira El Balamony (musho) | 1466 comments Mod
Stefan shrugged a little "The whole world thinks I'm gay anyway. Not exactly shocking" he said smiling wickedly. As he took a couple of steps so he doesn't feel trapped anymore he leaned in slowly and pressed his lips to Quin's surprising himself. The kiss got more intense, not passionate, but hungry on Quin's side , curious on Stefan's.


message 135: by [deleted user] (new)

Gasping a little as Stefan step and kissed him, he wondered why he had pushed Stefan to this point not that it was important right now as he let his hands grasp Stefan's waist. He deepened the kiss as he pulled Stefan closer, getting dizzy at the feel of the stubble on his cheek. He had always been attracted to both women and men and this was not out of the ordinary but something was kind of...new.

Stefan kept his hands in Quin's hair, not daring to touch him. This was his first time with a guy, despite all the now true rumors. Breaking a little for air, his head got cleared a little as the impact of what was going on, and what is to happen hit him! He pushed Quin back gently, he knew he was being an asshole right now but he really needed to think about this. A kiss is something,
but going further, is a whole other thing. Trying not to show his fear and confusion he said smiling "Here. You got your kiss, enjoy your magic-less days" And with that he left the room quickly his head kind of in a daze.


message 137: by [deleted user] (new)

Quin watched Stefan's retreating back with a tilt of his head. Bringing a hand to his lips he can still taste him there and he wondered why had this became what it is right now. It was supposed to be fun but now it only left him with emotions that he didn't want to look at. "Come to me if you want more!" He shouted since he couldn't resist taunting Stefan. Being like this seemed so easy awhile ago, before he had ever kissed Stefan however it turned to another whole new level.


message 138: by [deleted user] (new)

Quin had enough of sitting around so looking around the room he decided to explore it. Standing up on steady feet he ventured to the bookshelves with an interested eye. He might not be a scholar but from time to time he found himself buried in some pretty great books. He was scanning for some any adventure when he saw something in the corner of his eye. Turning to the left, he found something shiny covered by a black cloth. "What do we have here?" He asked himself as he slowly pulled the cover away. He smiled when he found a black guitar.


message 139: by [deleted user] (new)

After looking at the guitar for a few minutes he realized that his necklace was getting hotter and hotter. "What the?" he muttered as he took the necklace off and held it before his eyes. It was indeed hotter to his palm and it was glowing a shade of red which was a blue on when he gave it to Stefan. Clutching the crystal ball he dropped it as he really felt the burn. "Stefan!!! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" He shouted as the ball now glowed a sick green.

Stefan walked into the study to a freaking Quin and a glowing orb on the floor "what the fuck happen! You could break the thing and find a chair walking around wearing your damn magic" he shouted as he picked up the necklace observing the weird colours it's taking. This has never happened before "What happened" he said calmly trying to sort everything he knows about channeling spells.


message 141: by [deleted user] (new)

Quin kept on shouting for Stefan as he watched the lrb became violet, red, and green. It didn't look so good from his view and he shut up when he saw Stefan entering the room with messy hair and crumpled clothes. What had he been doing? He wondered just as a tiny voice inside his mind said, 'He's still hot.' Shutting the voice away he answered Stefan with a sneer. "I was just minding my own business when that thing became hotter than hell and it's been changing colors for a full minute or so."

Stefan held the orb but didn't feel any heat then it hit him and he chuckled "Your magic doesn't like being trapped. It was trying to find it's way back through your skin" he said in wonder. He read about this in Rehab though he's never seen it happen. Most people aren't so attached to or dependent on their magic like Quin, but he exhausted his powers that he can almost not function without them. "This is extremely dangerous though" he continued more serious now "if the bond between your soul or body or whatever it is and your powers is this strong, the orb won't contain it for long" he said forcing his sleepy brain to form some kind of plan.


message 143: by [deleted user] (new)

Nodding slowly he can still feel the burn and it was like the orb was calling to him like some sort of beacon. "You're right about that but how can we contain my magic?" He asked as he stepped back. Looking at the orb was making him think things that are not entirely good so instead he focused all of his attention Stefan. In the past, he might freak out that he was finding himself attracted to another man but he realized that no matter what gender he prefers he still manages to find the fleeting happiness he can with his relationships with both women and men.

Moshira El Balamony (musho) | 1466 comments Mod
Stefan was oblivious to the fact that Quin was watching him or concerned with him at all. He was focused on the task at hand now but he can't think of a material that will hold such powerful magic. He watched the shifting of colours "I don't know" he admitted, which was new for him, he usually knew all there was about dark magic going wrong but he was stuck. He looked up at Quin who was watching him intently, trying to get any clues.


message 145: by [deleted user] (new)

Turning his gaze away just as Stefan looked at him, he let himself be distracted by his deep voice. "Do you have a larger orb?" He asked as he shaped his hands like the size if a basketball. He might not know any of trapping magic because that was just too cruel even for him but he had known someone who had used this simple way of capturing powerful magic. "Made of amethyst or opal?" He added as he watched the play of muscles under Stefan's shirt

Moshira El Balamony (musho) | 1466 comments Mod
Stefan shook his head "No" he said "but it's not so hard to find one". He wasn't sure a bigger orb was the answer but they have nothing to lose. He'll probably find one in Hunter's office, but the problem is that he's exhausted. The channeling spell takes a whole lot of strength and it's not exactly safe to perform it twice on the same day like that. He shook his head, don't be wimp you can do it. The guy's losing his magic, your skull can take it. "I look in Hunter's office you search here"


message 147: by [deleted user] (new)

"I'll go with you," Quin immediately told Stefan. Eyeing the orb like it was a snake he asked Stefan, "But can you keep that first?" He gestured to the necklace with a wave of his hand. He took another step back as Stefan held it out. It was like siren's song beckoning him to take it and it only added to his crazy and he didn't like it that much. Wondering what was Stefan going to do with the necklace, he trusted him a little to know that Stefan wouldn't tempt him.

Stefan sighed and rolled his eyes "Fine" he knew that Quin will never completely trust him but it's starting to get on his nerves. Grabbing the necklace and putting it around his neck he stopped at the doorframe "Just a quick question, how do you plan to keep an orb so big safe? It's not like you can put it around your neck" he asked over his shoulder.


message 149: by [deleted user] (new)

"I can always trust you to keep it safe, can't I?" Quin told flippantly as he shrug. If this was the first step of trusting someone he would ignore his prize and just end it with politeness. The orb was the least of his problem, the biggest problem he now have was getting better without his magic, it might be new at first but he can adapt living as a normal human for once.

"Of course, Stefan dear will take care of everything" he said a little irritated but somehow content. His mood was going downhill so he needs to get this over with as quickly as possible. "Just so you know, you can come as far as the meetings room, you can't enter Hunter's office" Quin literally can't, because Hunter has put shitload of protection to his office that it makes one wonder what's in there. The office however will sense the second and should let him in.
