03.2023 | WELCOME BACK! Hello friends old and new! I'm so excited to welcome you all back to SITW! I've made some changes to the plot and added the ability to play supernatural charcaters! So come and check it out! I can't wait to jump back into this little town with all of you!
A strange history surrounds the town, it is a place where mysterious and supernatural things have been known to happen. The reputation of the town reguarly draws in visitors and newcomers alike. While some residents avidly believe in the supernatural, others are far more skeptical. What do you believe?
To say the day had been stressful and annoying was an understatement. Three of their title stories for the next day had issues with release papers being misplaced and he was expected to wait an hour past his typical closing time to have the final source get off work and be able to come and sign new forms. He’d even sent the cleaning staff home for the evening, tending to the tasks himself since he had been kept waiting. What was only supposed to be an hour wait, turned into three hours. Before finally the man showed up, apologized for his delay and gave his paperwork a quick once over before signing and being on his way.
Thankfully this wasn’t his week with the kids, otherwise Esmeralda would have been so angry at him not being home at his regular time. Instead, he was contemplating on the best form of stress relief… perhaps he’d give Alexis a call. It was an enticing thought, but even so part of him wasn’t sure he was up for the efforts. That young woman had an insatiable appetite, and he wasn’t sure he was up for a marathon tonight. Maybe over the weekend when work didn’t have to stress him out.
He wore his second favorite work suit today, it was a charcoal grey one paired with a burnt orange button up and a navy blue tie. The tie had been loosened from his neck and top two buttons of his shirt undone. He grabbed his black coat and began turning the lights out, ready to lock up for the night. He stepped outside and paused to inhale for a moment, then exhaled as he turned and flipped through the key ring for the right one to lock things up.

"Long day of work, Cisco?" Tristan growled the question that wasn't really a question.
The werewolf leaned against the corner of the building, wearing that same dark trench coat. So maybe it was a bit out of style, there was no denying the tall, dark, handsome man looked good in one. He stayed where he was, one boot pressed against the wall, watching with dark eyes as the man locked up the building.
He hadn't intended to find the man here. Not entirely. His explorations of the town had led him down the main road a few times, but this time, passing the building for the newspaper, he had paused. Because this time, he was familiar with the scent of one man in particular. Who was wearing some odd color combination suit. Questionable. Perhaps without the tie. Anyway, he'd stopped not just because of the familiar scent, but that he seemed...particularly frustrated today, unlike the other day. Of course, he had caught him leaving a day of pampering in the salon. This, it seemed, was a more typical day.

The voice caught him off guard, the keys dropping from his grasp as he turned to look at where the voice came from. A voice that seemed vaguely familiar. His eyes landed on the attractive man in a dark trench coat, his heart rate picking up slightly as he recognized the voice as belonging to the stranger he bumped into at the shopping center.
“Oh, h-hey Tristan.” Cisco managed out, clearing his throat a little as he tried not to think about their last encounter. He had never been so confused, and also so aroused in such a short period of time. Needless to say, he’d had spent quite some time thinking about the mysterious man and just how good his teeth and tongue felt against his skin.
These thoughts weren’t helping him any, as he felt the flush set in more deeply and he tried to take a steadying breath as he leant down to pick up his keys. “Painfully long day. What has you out and about?” He asked as he brushed the dirt off his keys, slowly standing back up.

He smiled slightly, watching the man drop his keys at being startled. While Tristan had a lot of respect for humans, even he was still attached to his own predatory nature. There was something...natural about his surprise, the way he dropped his keys and stumbled over his words. While their initial meeting in the shopping center had been spur of the moment, some part of the werewolf quite liked how flustered the man became just seeing him. Clearly, he remembered.
He pushed himself away from the wall and moved closer while the man picked up his keys. He subconsciously ran his fingers along the wall and then dropped his arm as he came to a stop. "Out enjoying the town," he said simply and vaguely. If their last encounter was any indication of how taciturn he was, it would quickly become apart Tristan didn't speak very much. He looked down at Cisco, breathing in his familiar scent. Ah, yes. As much as the moment had begun due to a misunderstanding, he had enjoyed the moment. Pity.

Why did his response make Cisco chuckle? Was it because he’d grown up in this small town and knew there wasn’t much going on in the department of entertainment. Aside from the ale house, there wasn’t much of a ‘nightlife’ for the little town of Sweetwater. So he found the idea of finding much enjoyment out of this little town to be a short lived thrill if anything. But then again, Tristan was not from here, so perhaps the town held a certain charm for an outsider.
Whatever the reason, he wasn’t fully expecting the other man to approach him, so when he looked up; there he was. Just as attractive and confusion inducing as ever. But at least Cisco managed to keep his grip on the keys this time and didn’t drop them again. Even so, he couldn’t help the slight gulp from his throat as he straightened. He offered a half smile, and despite the cold air Cisco could almost swear he was starting to sweat.
Why did the other man make him so nervous? Was it just merely him feeling nervous, or what is something else? Something that kept thinking back to their first encounter and the men pinning him to that wall. “How are you liking our little town?”He asked, bother genuinely curious and trying to fill the empty space with conversations to keep him from letting his mind wander too much. But fuck, was that ever difficult.

Tristan would beg to differ about the night life, as Sweetwater was quite...'charming' in its own way. He'd spent a few nights running the woods, one with a vampire, and plenty more with his roommate enjoying a night life of their own making. He was very eager to meet more of his own kind as well.
This close, he could hear the man's heartrate increase. Whether from nerves or interest or something else was much less simple for him to read. Being as Cisco hadn't fled screaming from his presence, he could only guess that their previous encounter had not scared the man too much. He'd very much like to taste him directly. "I think it is charming," he said simply, looking Cisco up and down casually. The man seemed to have forgotten what it was his keys were for, simply holding them in his hand. He raised an eyebrow at them and then looked back up to the man curiously.

He couldn’t help the smile at the response from Tristan in regard to their town. It was a charming town. It had a surprising amount of inexplicable oddities, a crazy number of fires happening in the forest this past year as well. But for all its quirks; it truly was a charming small town. “It’s a great word to describe Sweetwater; charming.” He said with a nod, then noticed the inquisitive glance to the keys in his hand. He had completely forgotten about locking up the building.
“Oh, I’m supposed to be locking up the building for the night.” Cisco offered a sheepish smile as he lifted the keys for a moment and then lightly cleared his throat. Why was he so nervous? Nothing about the way he approached or spoke to him suggested even the slightest bit of interest or aggressiveness he’d seen for their first encounter.
Why did that disappoint him? Cisco simply looked back down to his keys to thumb through for the right one again. Holding it up as he located it.

"Ah," he said softly, leaning against the wall just at the edge of the door. Tristan didn't understand what the man was thinking or doing except that his antics were quite odd. And people said he was strange.
Nothing the other man had done presently elicited his aggression, only his curiosity. And perhaps concern. Had the man had a stroke or something? "Have you forgotten how?" He pressed, confused and entirely oblivious to the effect he had on the man. In the moment, certainly. But him just standing there like a deer in headlights...well, perhaps that analogy helped him understand more.

Cisco looked down at the keys and then back at the man as he let out a breath and ran a hand through his hair. Suddenly wanting nothing more than to be able to find a drink. Why did Tristan’s mere presence have him so flustered? Was it just because of being able to recall how thrilling it was to feel the man’s teeth again his neck? Or did he truly just have such a shit day that he was easily distracted?
“To be completely honest, I’m just a touch distracted.” He admitted with a gentle shake of his head as he looked back to Tristan and very obvious looked the man up and down. There was no denying how attractive the stranger was, and he couldn’t help but find himself having all sort of lustful thoughts.

The werewolf could tell he had caught the man out of softs. From his erratic heartbeat to his uncertain movements. He gathered this task, locking the building, was a simple one. One Cisco had performed countless times, over and over, the exact same way. One he didn't need to think about, one his muscles simply remembered how to do and completed without him needing conscious thought. A task that, even without Tristan's interruption, he was struggling to complete today, for whatever reason.
"I see," Tristan said, closing the final space between them. He held out his hand, palm up. "Let me help you with that," he commanded with a soft growl. With his keys. With his distraction. With the desire that, this close, only a foot away, he could smell on him like sweat. And unlike last time, while his natural scent of licorice and parchment lingered, there was a distinct lack of something else.

It was already three hours past his typical closing time, so one might think he’d had easily locked up and gotten the hell out of dodge. And yet, he was still standing at the door. And then Tristan stepped even closer and held out and expectant hand as he asked, no that was definitely more of a command, for the keys.
Almost without even a moment of hesitation, Cisco found himself handing the keys over to the taller man. What was it about him that made Cisco so eager to comply? Or was it just the day he was having. He handed Tristan the keys, his thumb brushing the other man’s hand and he tried to fight to keep his mind from going back to when he had been pinned against the wall.

The man dropped the keys into his hand without a word and it made Tristan smile. His faint touch at the action wasn't welcome but being this close intentionally and asking him to hand him an object, he was ready for it. It was much less egregious than walking into him at the shopping center. Still... He wondered if the man did it on accident or if maybe he had figured out the rules.
He closed his hand around the keys and pressed his other hand to the wall past the man's head in a very familiar position, leaning close to Cisco's ear. "If you want something, you need to make it very, very...clear."

Perhaps this man just brought out the more submissive side of him. Because, it wasn’t as if he’d only run into him on rough days like today. The first day had been a rather enjoyable day when he was having his monthly pampering day. And yet, something about seeing him made him crave being pinned to a wall once again.
Was that why he let his thumb brush against Tristan’s hand? Was he hoping to get the man to drag him off once again? And he was suddenly interrupted from his thoughts by Tristan’s free hand pressing against the wall past his head, almost as if the other man was inside his head. And then he was leaning forward and speaking close to his ear.
Cisco bit his bottom lip as he swallowed hard and fought the slight tremble in his left knee at the proximity. “Oh? So something like this?” He asked with a raised brow as he ran a hand up Tristan’s chest. Much more intentional than the thumb, but would it still be clear he wanted to make the other man touch him?
Post by Tristan Morrigan on Jan 11, 2024 5:19:48 GMT
The werewolf enjoyed the music of the other man's heart. The tempo speeding up as he drew nearer, seeming to grow louder as he focused on the sound. He was fairly certain from that, and from how he bit his lip and his leg trembled, he scared this human. Which was, admittedly, so small part of his intent. But it wasn't a malicious sort of intent. It was all in good fun.
He stiffened a little at the touch, but it proved the man understood. He hadn't wanted words, after all. Tristan's dark eyes studied the other man and then he leaned forward, slipping the keys into Cisco's pants pocket. In the same motion, he leaned away, grabbing him by the collar and that dark blue tie in one hand and pulling open the front door with the other. He dragged the man inside and closed to door. His sense of smell and hearing suggested they were more than alone inside so he shoved Cisco against the other door. "Do you remember where we were?" He asked, leaning in to breathe in his suddenly much heavier aroused scent, teeth more than ready to taste him.

Cisco did think his heart could pound any faster in his chest, but of course he’d be wrong. Because then Tristan leaned forward and dropped the keys into his pocket, and gripped him but the collar and tie to pull him back inside the empty building and found himself pressed against the other door.
What was it about this stranger that made him quite enjoy being dragged around and pinned to walls or doors? Of course he did, and so did his body. Already betraying his excitement and arousal. Cisco was finding it difficult to think let alone speak. So he simply nodded, his cheeks flushing at the proximity to Tristan in this space.
