Ambitious Desires

[Holli]

((July 7th, For Cesare and Holli, I'm not sure if it's closed or not, I'll wait for Cesare's thoughts on it ^^))

Holli was bored. Animals and teens decorated the place. No older males for her, and certainly no real guys, which would be what Holli preferred. She didn't know if the laws of Cool World applied here. However, if she were to accomplish her goal again, she'd stay put (not that she had a choice) A toon turned noid going into the real world was trouble, she got that now.

However, that didn't mean she didn't want to still be real. But that wouldn't happen unless she found a suitable noid, and there were none here. She was dressed in her simple white dress with the slit up the side. It was the less revealing outfit she owned, and, as she'd quickly realized, there were a lot of kids and teens here. Innocent ones, not like the brats in cool world, so she figured that, since there were no suitable men around anyways, she may as well keep it classy. She walked onto the balcony of the study and leaned against thee railing in thought, wondering how she was going to get out of this place.

[Cesare Borgia]

Cesare opened the door to the study. It was nice to be out of that blasted red coat and into some comfortable clothing; a black shirt and a pair of black pants. His fluffy hair blew in the wind of the door's opening. Blinking gorgeous eyes the youth walked into the room, clutching his key with his hand. He frowned at the lack of light in the study but he shrugged and looked around for a candle. "That's odd," he mused, "Not a candle in sight. This place must be practically stone aged!" He walked over to the bookshelves, a queer look on his face. He'd never seen so many books in his life! not even in the Vatican study.

Mouth dropped open slightly he walked around running his fingers over the covers, some dusty others quite new. He picked up a black covered novel and scratched his head.

"What the hell is Twilight?" He mused out loud for anyone to hear.

[Holli]

((Pfft, dying at the last comment))

A voice caused her to stop her potential escape plans and look back inside. A bit of searching and she found the source of the voice was a man. A real man at that. She raised a blonde eyebrow. Interesting. He was the first Noid she'd seen here at all. And he wasn't bad looking. Plus for her... Straightening herself up and putting on her best face she walked, or more like strutted, up to the man, who seemed to be a mix of frustrated and confused.

"Some modern book." She said with a very convincing smile. "Not very interesting if you ask me." A girl giving up her life and humanity for love of all things sickened Holli. Love wasn't something she believed in. Which made her presence here all the more confusing. She was sure Aphrodite was mistaken. Holli didn't love, she hooked up when it benefited her. "So how'd ya find yourself down here, handsome?" She asked, inching closer. Physical contact was something she enjoyed doing. Whether it was just to make someone nervous (like Frank) or to get someone to fall for her (like Jack). However, it wasn't necessary at the moment. This place was different from Cool World.

[Cesare Borgia]

(I thought it was funny XD)

"Clearly," Cesare said without looking up at the voice before realizing it was feminine. He didn't want to be rude and he turned, his frown turning into a curious grimace. "How...I mean, good morning, m'lady," he said politely, "You've read this book, have you?" He took a look at the cover and placed it back on the shelf. "Hrm, there seems to be more of them. How odd." He straightened his body to face her, his handsome face creasing in a smile. Her blonde hair reminded him of his sister, Lucrezia. Although at this point, he was missing her and anything would have reminded him of his beautiful little sister.

However this girl was clearly NOT his sister in anyway. Thick lips and an interesting hairstyle and huge...um...tracks of land. He paused, staring for a moment before looking up at her face again. She was rather close. Quite unrefined. He wondered if she was a lady of noble blood or perhaps just a street walker. Either way the Borgia was not above speaking to her.

"This library? Or this island?" He said softly, "The island, I'm here to find who fits this key. The library...well...I must admit to you, m'lady that a lot of things in this grand house confuse me. Such as there are no candles about. How does one see in the dark?"

[Holli]

"Skimmed it a bit." She said with an innocent smile that betrayed her intentions. He was cute. Much cuter than Jack anyways, but then, her intentions with him were solely to be human, and he was an unsuspecting, easy target. She wasn't some master strategist or anything, so she couldn't judge from first glace what he was like, unlike her creator.

He was certainly right about not being like his sister though. In every way minus hair and eye color, Holli was the opposite. She looked him over once more, determining by his clothing and demeanor he must come from some sort of wealth, or at least not be from anywhere she's heard of. It was odd to say the least, but in the end it didn't matter. He was an attractive man, or an attractive noid. But she had to say, after being out of the game for quite a long time it felt nice to let loose and flirt like she used to.

When he expressed his confusion over things in the house she had to suppress a sort of laugh. "That's because nobody uses candles anymore, hun." She said, leaving her spot near him to move to another corner of the room. "We use light switches." She said, flipping the little thing a few times for emphasis. She laughed a bit. "It's okay, stick with me, and I'll show you how everything works." She said, returning to her original spot, and flirty tone of voice.

[Cesare Borgia]

"I'm sure you can." Cesare could flirt with the best of them. This woman was some kind of attractive, a modern strange sort of attractive. The pouty lips, the eye makeup and the messy hairstyle. Did it turn him on? Sure it did, but was he going to let it show. Nope. He was a Borgia and a Borgia never revealed their true emotions. Not even his father, the holy father, had ever had trouble clicking his emotions in place, chiding them into submission. His brother, Juan was the worst at it, but Juan was bad at everything. At least in Cesare's eyes.

Suprised by the lights flickering on and off, he walked past Holli, brushing up against her for emphasis before testing the light switch himself. He tilted his head slightly.

"What a useful invention," he quipped, "No need for burning wax." He turned to Holli. Did he realize he was an inch from her? Yes. Did he do it on purpose? The Borgia would never tell.

"What do they call you, fair lady?" he said softly, upturning his handsome features in a grin, "They call me Borgia. Car-" He paused. Was the title of Cardinal really necessarily in this situation. Not in the slightest. "Cesare Borgia."
