HALO CIX: 109 Fists in the Air

[DoomITP]

Tatsu still looks worried as he fires the now silent pistol.

[Inigo Montoya]

((I'm gone for a few days...:smalltongue:))

Inigo heads for the kitchen, looking at the people quietly talking, and trying not to eavesdrop.

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

Yeah, well...I still have a headache. And I go light-headed if I stand up too quickly, she says. But other than that, I'm feeling pretty well.

[Shooting Range]

Eklipso frowns.

What's wrong? she asks him, between shots that he fires.

[Volug]

YAY INIGO

Kiba is somehow in the kitchen >__>
Don't ask why! He just is.

Inigo? Where were you?:smalltongue:

[Viera Champion]

I'm not a total bastard all the time.
Just most of the time.

Anyway, Carrie's having a great time feeling up Gen and making out with Jordan.

Gen's free hand seems to be wrapping itself in her braid. While her other hand moves to Jordans thigh now.

[DoomITP]

Nothing really, I just worry about most everything.

[Je dit Viola]

[Firing Range]

Oh.

After firing another arrow, she says, "What are you worrying about, then?"

[DoomITP]

To be honest... I don't really know. I'm just worrying.

[Je dit Viola]

[Firing Range]

Alright, then. She fires another arrow, then puts her bow facing the ground, turning towards him.

It was about me, wasn't it? she assumes. Usually when people don't tell you, it's about you.

[Shades of Gray]

Jordan pulls back from the kiss, and sits up, smiling. I don't know what Alexis was so worried about... S/he thinks to herself.

[Viera Champion]

Gen's one hand gets even more tangled up in her long braid. As her other continues to alternate between rubbing Carrie's and Jordan's thighs. Eventually it stops on Carrie's and starts moving ever so slowly to a certain... area.

[Beans]

Carrie shifts Jordan over toward Gen.
Gen gets some sugar too. She giggles.

[Bergett]

[Kitchen]

Yeah, well...I still have a headache. And I go light-headed if I stand up too quickly, she says. But other than that, I'm feeling pretty well.

[Shooting Range]

Eklipso frowns.

What's wrong? she asks him, between shots that he fires.
Very good.
Just make sure to take it easy.

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

Okay, I will, doctor, she says. Then the elf giggles.

[Shades of Gray]

Carrie shifts Jordan over toward Gen.
Gen gets some sugar too. She giggles.

"Sugar?" Jordan seems confused.

[Viera Champion]

Gen smiles as Jordan is moved over next to her.
Thank you.
She moves to kiss Jordan.

[Inigo Montoya]

Inigo smiles at Kiba. "Hey there buddy! How are you?"

[Bergett]

He grins.
The best doctor there is.
...
At rudimentary first aid.

[Volug]

Yeah I'm fine... But, where were you at?

[Je dit Viola]

Yup. She smiles.

You're pretty good at it.

Then, she gets a mischievous grin. But I think I'm better than you.

[Bergett]

What makes you say that?
I once saved myself from a gunshot wound with a sock.
He boasts.

[Beans]

Gen smiles as Jordan is moved over next to her.
Thank you.
She moves to kiss Jordan.
She giggles again and kisses Gen's ear.

[Je dit Viola]

Ooh, a sock.

I don't think I could do that, she says, looking down at her bare feet. I don't have any socks.

But you should tell the story. What happened?

[Viera Champion]

Gen giggles as he ear is kissed and starts kissing the back of Jordan's neck.

[Bergett]

Well lets see...
It was back when I was still working as an assassin.
I had just finished off my target... A little too loudly.
After evading the guards for long enough I made it to an alley.
And one of his hired guns surprised me.
He shot me I just shot him better.
He got me right here.
He points to his thigh right next to the artery.
I wasn't able to tear any clothes off to stop the bleeding so I took his sock.
I stopped the bleeding long enough to get back to base.
there the surgeons fixed me up.

[Je dit Viola]

Wow, that's pretty neat. she says.

But...An assassin? Her distaste for killing other people is pretty evident.

[Beans]

Carrie is... tonguing Gen's ear.
This girl has issues.

[Bergett]

He nods.
Not the most glamorous past I realize.
I grew up like that without really a choice and that's how it was.

[Viera Champion]

Carrie is... tonguing Gen's ear.
This girl has issues.

Beans, what characters of yours don't has issues.

Gen's ear is...tongued while she kisses the back of Jordans neck some more.

[Je dit Viola]

Yeah...I know what you mean. says Dawn. Sometimes you don't have a choice about what you do. But then, you can always choose how you feel about it.

[Shades of Gray]

Jordan moves forward to kiss Carrie, but then suddenly, his/her eyes close, and s/he falls backward, unconscious.

[Beans]

Carrie gasps.
Jordan!

[Bergett]

I liked it back then but when I look at it now I regret what I did.
That's actually why I joined HALO.

[Viera Champion]

Gen gasps to and her one hand untangles itself from her braid and they both grab Jordan's shoulders.
Jordan?!

[Je dit Viola]

Oh. Well, glad that you joined. So you could save me a couple times. she says, with a smile on her face.

[Bergett]

He smiles back.
You're welcome.
Oh I'm sure I wasn't the only one that would've jumped into action like I did.

[Je dit Viola]

Buuuut...you're the only one who did. So that's what counts. she says.

[Shades of Gray]

Jordan seems woozy, his/her eyes barely opening.

A russian-accented voice speaks, coming from Alexis the plant. "Let me handle this." Alexis says, a vine extending towards Jordan, and indicates that they should get away.

[Beans]

Carrie steps back rapidly.

[Viera Champion]

Gen also moves away, surprised. Her braid is still wrapped around her one arm but isn't entangling her hand anymore. She looks at Carrie.
Do you know whats going on?

[Bergett]

I suppose...
He's not very good at getting thanks...

[Shades of Gray]

"She will be fine after some healing."

Alexis wraps a vine around Jordan, and both of them disappear in a green flash.

[Je dit Viola]

Okay. I suppose too. she agrees.

Oh, look. Her mango's gone, except for the pit.

She might tell him some of her backstory, if I'm feeling in the mood. And also if I remember by then.

[Beans]

Carrie shakes a little.
Oh, and...
She, huh?
:smalltongue:

[Viera Champion]

Gen sighs. Well there goes the good time she was having. She doubts Carrie would want to continue after that.

[Beans]

Carrie tries to cuddle up to Gen, but it's because she's afraid.
I hope Jordan's okay...

[Viera Champion]

Gen hugs Carrie.
I do too...

[Bergett]

Okay. I suppose too. she agrees.

Oh, look. Her mango's gone, except for the pit.

She might tell him some of her backstory, if I'm feeling in the mood. And also if I remember by then.

Sorry if I'm kinda an emotionless person.
I just...
Well,
Yeah.

[Je dit Viola]

It's alright. I'm kinda emotionless also, she sympathizes. She's really not, in case you couldn't tell.

[Bergett]

He laughs.
You know it's funny.
I haven't really smiled much before.

[Beans]

Gen hugs Carrie.
I do too...
Carrie shakes.

[Je dit Viola]

Really?

I wouldn't be able to tell, she says, with a shrug.

[Bergett]

So what was your mother like?

[DoomITP]

[Firing Range]

Alright, then. She fires another arrow, then puts her bow facing the ground, turning towards him.

It was about me, wasn't it? she assumes. Usually when people don't tell you, it's about you.

Yeah.

He says sheepishly.


(be right back)

[Viera Champion]

Gen feels her shaking and tries to ccomfort her.
She'll be fine don't worry.

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

Like anybody else's mother, I guess. she says with a shrug. Proud for every kill.

She'll probably need to elaborate on that one.

[Shooting Range]

What about me? she asks. Something bad?

Maybe...

It's 'cause I'm a woman, isn't it?

[Beans]

Gen feels her shaking and tries to ccomfort her.
She'll be fine don't worry.
She nods shakily.

[Bergett]

Proud for every kill?
Doesn't sound like a mother to me.

[FireFox]

Kevin is in the kitchen, molding a glob of molten metal into different shapes. As it floats in the air between his fingers...

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

...every mother's like that. It's despicable.

Aren't they? she asks.

[Viera Champion]

She nods shakily.

Gen tries to lean her head against Carrie's shoulder, hoping it will do something to make her feel better.

[Shades of Gray]

((The reason why Alexis used "she" is because Alexis can't really differentiate genders. Alexis is just a plant, and Alexis has heard mostly "she" recently.))

Jordan pops into the infirmary, with a green flash. Alexis' vines are wrapped around her forehead and wrists. Jordan is unconscious.

[Bergett]

[Kitchen]

...every mother's like that. It's despicable.

Aren't they? she asks.

He shakes his head.
Sorry...
It's just I thought...
You're mom would be better.
I'm... sorry.

[Volug]

Masato, not to be confused with Sato (Old wolf guy), takes the time to grab a seat in the kitchen. Looking over towards Kevin.

I can't tell if you are bored or just showing off.

He takes a drink of his Diet Pepsi... Yeah, Diet.

[FireFox]

W-what? Kevin, startled, looks up at Masato nervously. However, his concentration on the metal doesn't seem to waver. I-I'm not sh-showing off... Just practicing...

[Je dit Viola]

It's all right, she says, shaking her head.

I guess just my entire culture's bad.

[Beans]

((The reason why Alexis used "she" is because Alexis can't really differentiate genders. Alexis is just a plant, and Alexis has heard mostly "she" recently.))

Jordan pops into the infirmary, with a green flash. Alexis' vines are wrapped around her forehead and wrists. Jordan is unconscious.
I bet Jordan's a robot or something.
Carrie just clings to Gen.

[Bergett]

Good thing you got outta there.
But I have to ask...
Did you really stop a war by yourself.

[Viera Champion]

Or an alien!

Gen jutmst strokes Carrie's hair till she calms down.

[Shades of Gray]

Jordan is neither of those things! Jordan is a human.

Besides, it's all Carrie's fault.

[Volug]

Yeah of course...
Admittedly I probably wouldn't be doing as good as you. For me at least simply training doesn't do much anymore.

He sighs, crushing part of his empty soda can and tossing it to a trash bin, and missing.

Tell me why you're here. Hopefully it's not anything to do with a lover.

[Je dit Viola]

Ummm...yeah. I guess you could say that.

She seems a little reluctant, but goes on. Yes, there was a big war...my friend died in it. So I told my father really needed to stop.

...so, then all the tribes in the war decided to have a competion, between four 'champions'...to see who won.

[FireFox]

N-no... Keeping the ball of metal aloft, Kevin magnetically picks up the crushed can and brings it to the table in front of him, to use later. I'm here b-because... Well, I don't really know why I'm here. I just stay here until someone needs me elsewhere...

[Viera Champion]

Really? What did Carrie do?

Also deadtime for a while so I can get some sleep.

[Bergett]

Ummm...yeah. I guess you could say that.

She seems a little reluctant, but goes on. Yes, there was a big war...my friend died in it. So I told my father really needed to stop.

...so, then all the tribes in the war decided to have a competion, between four 'champions'...to see who won.

And your father forced you to compete.

[DoomITP]

[Kitchen]

Like anybody else's mother, I guess. she says with a shrug. Proud for every kill.

She'll probably need to elaborate on that one.

[Shooting Range]

What about me? she asks. Something bad?

Maybe...

It's 'cause I'm a woman, isn't it?
No it's just you always seem like your carrying a ton on your shoulders.

[Je dit Viola]

I was really the only one alive who qualified... she says. Everyone else died in the war. To qualify, you had to be between 15 and 30 years old. Since they're elves though (and thus age slower), that has little bearing on skill and all that other stuff.

] Shooting Room [

...oh.

She just stands there. He was caring about her. Do you really think that much about me?

[Bergett]

I can't believe he made you do that.

[Volug]

Masato messes with a butterfly knife as he speaks.

You may be better off elsewhere, despite the fact that some people really need to be knocked back into sense here.

Masato twirls the knife in his fingers, opening and closing it rapidly, then catches it open. He starts carving something under the table.

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

Sad smile. I won, though. The war ended.



] Shooting Room [

...oh.

She just stands there. He was caring about her. Do you really think that much about me?

[FireFox]

The lump of metal rapidly cools and solidifies, falling into Kevin's hand. Yeah? How do you mean?

[Volug]

Some people have lost their sense of danger. Hell, someone here could be planting seeds of destruction and no one would notice. Then... Well, yeah.

[Bergett]

At least it was ended there.
And you were able to get away.
And if they think about taking you away.
well you already know the answer.
He reassures.

[DoomITP]

He nods.

Yes...

[FireFox]

Uhuh... Kevin's a little slow.

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

Yeah...but it was mostly luck, she says. And I can't get their faces out of my head...

[Shooting Room]

Oh. She blushes.

I'm not that interesting. You must be bored of me by now...

[Volug]

Masato flicks the knife shut and pockets it.

And leaves.

[Bergett]

They don't really go away do they...?
He thinks more remembering then anything else.

[FireFox]

Kevin shrugs and picks up the aluminum can, turning it over and wrinkling his nose in distaste.

[Je dit Viola]

[Sitting in the Kitchen with a mango pit]

Sometimes...I can distract myself long enough...but then they come back during the night.

She blinks.

[Bergett]

He sighs.
And tosses her an apple.
I don't know if I can help you there.

[DoomITP]

No, I wouldn't say you are boring.

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

Dawn catches the apple with her free hand. Yeah...I know.

Sometimes, it feels good to talk about it, though. She bites the apple, with a smile.

[Shooting Range]

Oh? Then what would you say I am? asks the paladin, interested in hearing the answer.

[Bergett]

He smiles too.
Makes you feel less lonely in the world.
You're a good friend Dawn.

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

Yeah.
Thanks. You're a good friend, too. says the elf, taking a bite from the apple afterwards.

[Bergett]

I'll try not to die too.
That's a bit of a risky joke.

[Inigo Montoya]

((v.v I kinda fail with keeping up posting wise.))

Jenny pops into existence near Masato. "Hey there...What are you doing?"

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

She doesn't laugh at first...
but then,
after a bit,
Dawn smiles and softly laughs.

[Volug]

Masato jumps, out of surprise.

What? Walking. Down the hall. To my room, I thought you took the high road out of this place.

[DoomITP]

I'm not quite sure WHAT you are exactly. Boring? Definitely not.

[Je dit Viola]

[Shooting Hall]

Oh...so you think I'm weird, then? she asks.

Weird's not that good.

[Bergett]

Once again I apologize.
What's been going on with you?
He tries to change the subject.

[Shades of Gray]

Jordan is still in the infirmary, Alexis' vines wrapped around his/her wrists and one resting on his/her head. Jordan is unconscious, but seems to be getting better.

[DoomITP]

No! Of course not.

[Inigo Montoya]

Masato jumps, out of surprise.

What? Walking. Down the hall. To my room, I thought you took the high road out of this place.

"Got bored. I was talking about that carving back there."

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

Well...not much. I took down all the mistletoe now, she says. She has the last sprig in one of her pockets, and shows it. Then, she smiles.

q Shooting Room p

So...you're saying you want to marry me, then? Or just sleep with me. She raises her eyebrow.

If he doesn't say something, she'll keep on guessing.

[Volug]

... Pheh, if no one notices that's their problem. No one here is going to do a thing about it since they all overdosed on love potion number 9.

[Bergett]

He smiles a bit too.
That's the last one that survived after the great mistletoe massacre.

[DoomITP]

I don't have a word for it alright?! I don't know!

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

Yeah. she says with a smile as she shoves the mistletoe back into one of her pockets.

/Shooting Range\

...

Oh. says Eklipso.

She turns back to the target, and fires another Arrow of Light down the range.

[DoomITP]

Tatsu sighs then taps Eklipso's shoulder.

[Bergett]

So ummm...
He drums his fingers on the countertop because he ran out of things to say.

[Inigo Montoya]

"I'll do something about it."

[Volug]

Good luck with that. It will be happening anyways, even if it'll be a few years.

[Je dit Viola]

[Shooting Range]

The paladin turns, misfiring a shot and sending it off...somewhere.
Yeah? What is it? she asks, a little too harshly.

[Kitchen]

So...

Have you met my frogs? she asks.
On cue, there's some ribbits from one of her pocket.
It's nice how convenient these things are.

[DoomITP]

Eklipso most likely ends up getting kissed. Aw! :smalltongue:

[Bergett]

I haven't met them but I've seen them.
Interesting pet you have.

[Inigo Montoya]

"And another thing. Don't force Kiba to use magic."

[Je dit Viola]

[Training Room]

Eklipso gets kissed. Awww...

Then she slaps him.

Before kissing him again. (:smallredface:)

[Kitchen]

Yeah, they're really nice, she says. Really cute, too. And only a tiny bit toxic. Dawn has a smile!

[Volug]

His father is making him do it, and he agreed. If he is to learn it from me, he will come to training on the times I place and the ways I teach him. Failure to do so is his own fault and I am allowed to hand out punishments for such an occasion.

[DoomITP]

So he gets kissed but he has a red hand mark on his face. :smallbiggrin:

[Bergett]

Poisonous?
Have you ever gotten sick because of that?
Or do elves have a natural resistance?

[Inigo Montoya]

"Yeah, I'm sure he agreed. Who are you anyway? A clone? What?"

[Je dit Viola]

[Training Shooting]

Only if he has sensitive skin.

Okay, so kiss ends now.

[Kitchen]

I've been poisoned a couple times, she says. Either 7 or 9 times. But I carry the antidote around with me, just in case.

[Volug]

I'm the real deal, however messed up I may now be. Despite all my screw ups you fakes have all the freedom, and even an afterlife... Who would have thought of THAT...
Do you think I WANT to teach him? He's about as smart as a box of smashed hammers.

[Bergett]

Oh.
Ok.
That's better.
WHy frogs?

[DoomITP]

He is probably still hugging her. Not sure, and that depends on how hard she slapped him. :smalltongue:

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

Because...I got them as a gift, says Dawn. And they're really cute.

[Shooting Range]

It was a "Get-off-me" kind of slap. Hard enough to get its message through.

So the hug ends too? And she's not scowling. Rather, she's smiling.

[Bergett]

Who gave them to you?

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

A friend, she says.
From earlier, though, it can be deduced that she only had one friend. So that one friend must have been the guy who gave the frogs to her.

[Inigo Montoya]

"Yeah, you aren't the real Masato. You're some sort of badly made copy."

[Bergett]

That was a nice gift.
He says realizing what friend that could've been.
Is it just him? Because I remember there being more frogs then that.

[DoomITP]

He's smiling too. I thought Eklipso was gonna slap him across the face again. :smalltongue:

[Volug]

Shut up, you know I am. You don't have parents, neither does that mutt. I doubt you even know the name of MY father.

He teleports off, deadtiming.

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

I have two frogs, I've always had two, she says. Not quite sure if she's answering his question.

[Shooting Range]

Well, if you want her to...she can still slap him.

She just stands there...in silence.

[Bergett]

Yeah that sounds right.

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchena]

Do you want to see them again? she asks with a smile.

[DoomITP]

I love you...

Aw! Now I'm sure he might get slapped. You better be wearing a helmet Tatsu! :smalltongue:

[Bergett]

I don't see why not.

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

Okay, she says, reaching into one of the pockets on her dress.

She pulls out two brightly-colored frogs. Here they are!

[Shooting Range]

'Kay, you asked for it.

Eklipso smiles...
Then slaps him again. Other cheek this time.

[DoomITP]

Well, at least both of halves of my face match now.

[Je dit Viola]

[Shooting Gallery]

Eklipso laughs, "Yes, they kinda do, don't they?"

[Bergett]

Oh they're, cute I guess.

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

Yeah, super-cute, she says. The deadly frogs hop around on her hand as she stares at them.

[Bergett]

He scratches his head as he looks at the frogs.
...
Yeah
Frogs I guess.

[DoomITP]

I hope the marks don't last too long though, no one would let me live that down.

He says grinning.

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

Dawn smiles. Okay, that's enough, she says.

The elf girl puts her frogs back into their pocket that never seems to be full or bulging regardless of how much junk she has in them.

[Shooting]

They look pretty good on you, she comments, admiring her handywork.

But why not? she asks after a moment longer. Why won't anyone let you live it down? 'Cause you got beat up by a girl?

[Bergett]

Indeed.
He nods.

[DoomITP]

No, more that I got beat up at all. People know better than to underestimate girls these days.

He chuckles.


(One more post for the night)

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

So do you have any pets? she asks Michael.

[Shooting Range]
(Okay)

Oh. So you don't get beat very often? she asks. She's wondering if she should kiss him again...like really lustful kiss. But no, he got mad earlier. She won't let herself slip again.

[Bergett]

He shakes his head.
No I never did.

[DoomITP]

More along the lines of I don't get in fights often.

He says.

Hey, relax, you're all tense and stuff. You'd think someone had a flamethrower pointed at you.

(Night! See ya tomorrow? :smallfrown:)

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

Oh, I'm sorry. Dawn really looks sorry.

You should get some, then. They're really fun.

[Target Practice]

Okay. I'll cool down, she says.

She closes her eyes, and starts taking deepish breaths.

[Bergett]

I'm sure they are.
He nods.

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

Yup.

So...if you did have a pet, what animal would it be? Dawnikins asks him.

[Bergett]

I'd think I'd get like a dog.
Because they're loyal.
And you know friendly.

[Je dit Viola]

[Kitchen]

Yeah. I wish I had a dog, too, says Dawn. Especially a dog like Roxie.

[Bergett]

Yeah.
Who's Roxie?

[Je dit Viola]

Oh, she's a puppy. Really smart, and nice. is what she says.

[Bergett]

I see.
He gets up.
Well I think I've got to go now.
Take care of yourself Dawn.
He smiles.

[Je dit Viola]

Okay, you too, she says with a smile.

Bye!

[Bergett]

And he leaves and I deadtime.
Nighty night.

[Viera Champion]

Genkai enters the infirmary. She sits down next to Jordan's bed and waits for her to wake up.

[Quinsar]

Peter is still asleep, "scared" with his mommy.





Sofia is on the couch, sleeping.

[Beans]

Theta is asleep too.

Beans waits for Shades to get on for Musical plawt.

[Quinsar]

Peter awakens a few minutes later.
He gets up, and heads into the main room. He sticks his tonge out at Sofia when he sees her.

[Viera Champion]

Genkai keeps her vigil over Jordan in the infirmary. She feels like it's her fault for what happened last night.

[Beans]

Theta sleepily follows.
Don't do that, dear... 's not polite...
Even when semi-conscious she's a concerned mother.

[Quinsar]

Oh... Hi mom!
He frowns.

[Beans]

She yawns and ruffles his ears.
Sleep well, Peter?

[Quinsar]

Yeah mommy!
I wasn't scared!

[Beans]

She smiles.
That's good.

[Quinsar]

I love you mommy!
He hugs her.

[Beans]

I love you too, Peter.
Now, could we please have a little talk about something?

[Quinsar]

What about mommy...?

[Beans]

She sighs and sits him on her lap.
Peter, let's be honest.
You don't like Sofia, do you?
She sounds concerned and understanding, not accusing.

[Quinsar]

Not really mommy.
Miss Sofia is icky.

[Beans]

I understand how you must feel.
Mommy brings home this strange woman one day and starts paying attention to her.
But she's not a bad person. She's been hurt and she needs somebody. And she likes you, she thinks you're great...
All I'm really saying is... Peter, my little paladin, would you be so kind as to give Sofia a chance?

[Quinsar]

But I don't want mommy to go way!
Mommy is mine!

[Beans]

Mommy isn't trying to leave you, or replace you, or any of that.
Mommy is trying to do the best she can---as your mother, as Riara's cleric, as Sofia's friend...

[Viera Champion]

Since it seems that Jordan won't be waking up any time soon, Genkai sighs and stands up. She instead heads out in search of Carrie.

[Quinsar]

B-but... You love Osfia and she's an adult and she's better than me, and you'll get bored and pay all your attention to her!:smallfrown:

[Beans]

No.
You stop right there.
She is not better than you. Mommy loves you both with all her heart.
And I will never stop caring about you, no matter what you do or who I make friends with.
---
Carrie is in her room, curled up on her bed.

[Quinsar]

Okay Mommy....
he frowns and looks away from her.

[Beans]

Oh, Peter...
She strokes his little head.
Do you want to go somewhere today? Just you and me?

[Quinsar]

Y-yes mommy.
I do.

[Viera Champion]

Carrie is in her room, curled up on her bed.

Gen enters Carrie's room and sees her curled up on the bed.
Carrie?

[Beans]

Where would you like to go?
---
Carrie sniffles.

[Viera Champion]

Gen sits on the bed and attempts to give Carrie a hug.
Are you crying about Jordan?

[Quinsar]

I dunno, mommy.

[Beans]

Carrie sits up and clings to Gen, nodding.
Did I... did I hurt Jordan?
Was it my fault?
---
What about the park?
She writes a quick note to Sofia.

Sofia,
Gone to have a mother-son outing w/ Peter.
Love,
Theta

[Viera Champion]

I dot know who's fault it was. But she is doing fine. I just checked on her in the infirmary. Alexis is taking care of her. She is still unconscious but she will be alright.

[Quinsar]

Yeah!
The park!:smallbiggrin:

[Beans]

Theta is dressed in a moment.
Well, let's go then.
She smiles.

[Viera Champion]

Her one hand tugs on her braid a little bit, obviously frustrated.
Will you be alright?

[Quinsar]

To the park!
I don't think we need to roleplay it...

[Beans]

Carrie just lays her head on Gen's chest.
She nods.
---
Yeah, they go to the park, have fun, blah de blah.

Sofia can visit Carrie.

[Quinsar]

Sofia goes to find Carrie when she wakes.

[Viera Champion]

Gen attempts to rub Carrie's back in a comforting way.
Good.

[Beans]

Carrie's in her room, being cuddled by the new girl Genkai.
When she sees Sofia come in, she looks up at her.
H-hi S-Sofia... She's been crying.

[Quinsar]

Hey Carrie...
What's wrong?
Who's she?...

[Viera Champion]

Genkai attempts a small smile towards Sofia. She would wave except one hand is rubbing Carrie's back and the other is pulling on her own long braid in frustration.
Hello.

[Beans]

Th-this is Genkai. She's n-nice.
A-and last night she and I and this other girl... I think she's a girl... Jordan, we were w-watching a movie, and then Jordan passed out, and---and---

[Viera Champion]

Carrie blames herself for Jordan falling unconscious.

[DoomITP]

[Kitchen]

Oh, I'm sorry. Dawn really looks sorry.

You should get some, then. They're really fun.

[Target Practice]

Okay. I'll cool down, she says.

She closes her eyes, and starts taking deepish breaths.

That's better. Relax.

[Quinsar]

It's not your fault Sofia...

[Beans]

Carrie sniffles, reaching a hand out to Sofia.
I s-still feel bad.

[Viera Champion]

Would you feel better if I brought you to check up on her in the infirmary?

[Quinsar]

She takes Carrie's hand, wrapping both of her around.
Yo didn't do anything, don't feel bad.

[Beans]

Would you feel better if I brought you to check up on her in the infirmary?
O-okay...
Sofia, c-can you come with us?

[Quinsar]

Sofia nods.
Then deadtimes.
She'll follow.

[Viera Champion]

Gen also deadtimes but she will still lead Carrie to the infirmary.

And I have to go out to lunch so you can RP Gen if you want till I come back.

[Beans]

Carrie, I guess, sees Jordan in the infirmary.

[Shades of Gray]

Jordan is unconscious, Alexis' vines wrapped around his/her wrists. One vine lies on his/her forehead. Jordan seems calm.

[McBish]

Angie slowly sits up in her bed looking like she is going to get up soon.

[Beans]

Jordan is unconscious, Alexis' vines wrapped around his/her wrists. One vine lies on his/her forehead. Jordan seems calm.
Carrie reaches out to put her hand on Jordan's.

[Shades of Gray]

Alexis growls. Carrie can hear a voice in her head Don't touch her. He's in a very fragile state. ((Keeping the pronouns balanced here.))

[Beans]

Carrie draws back.
Sorry.

[Shades of Gray]

Alexis sighs. Jordan seems to be getting healed.

It's alright. Jordan just needs time to get better.

[The Bushranger]

Angie slowly sits up in her bed looking like she is going to get up soon.

Patty, through the miracle of plot-cloning, is there and looking at Angie worriedly.


Patty, through the miracle of plot-cloning, is also just about passed out with Angela in Sam's room. :smalltongue:

[Beans]

Pesty is with Angie, watching her with concern.
---
Carrie nods.

[Shades of Gray]

I've been talking to Jordan about your condition, doing some research...

[McBish]

Angie glances at the two of them and puts on a small smile. I'm OK, hungry though. Let's get some food. She says starting to climb out of bed.

[Beans]

Y-yes?
---
Pesty smiles a little.
Okay.

[The Bushranger]

Patty smiles a little and goes to brush Angie's hair back a little. "Glad you're OK. I'll stay with you any time you like, alright?" She pauses. "I have some things I need to do, I'll join you for breakfast in a bit..."

[Shades of Gray]

And I think we've found a cure. It involves a ritual, and a sacrifice.

((Beans, how much have you decided on the history and stuff of Blightwalkers?))

[McBish]

Angie nods to Patty and climbs out of bed. She frowns a bit as she fingers the hole in her shirt, with a sigh she decides to ignore it for now, but sometime soon she is going to need new clothes. She starts to head to the kitchen.

[Beans]

((Blightwalker status runs in families and pops up randomly. Carrie's great-grandfather was a Blightwalker, but not her grandparents or parents.
It's due to a curse set on a bloodline by... someone or other.
Blightwalkers can be cured, but when "cured" they retain their abilities to hurt stuff. The cure just makes them not have constantly-harmful hands.))
R-really? She gasps.
---
Pesty goes with Angie.

[The Bushranger]

Patty smiles and calls a Mend Clothes spell on Angie's shirt...before getting mauled by the vengeful ghost of continuity (and deadtime)

[McBish]

Oh well that works, though does it clean up blood?

Angie reaches the kitchen and starts looking for food of some sort. She finds some pancake mix and starts to make them.

-------------

Astrid wakes up in the library, her neck stiff from sleeping in an uncomfortable position. She sighs and gets up heading to the infirmary to check on Jamie.

[The Bushranger]

((Nope, that would need Prestidigitation.))

Jamie looks to be happily asleep, and maybe dreaming a bit.

[Shades of Gray]

The curse was made with a cure in mind, but its creator was twisted. As a failsafe, when removed, it is transferred to two other people. Alexis sounds sad. The only way to remove it from yourself is to spread the curse.

[Beans]

...
Then I'm not going to do that.
I don't want to be cured if it means damning two other people like that.
---
Pesty will help Angie if she can.

[Shades of Gray]

Yes, I figured, but I thought I would let you know that that is an option. Jordan twitches in his/her sleep.

[McBish]

And with their powers combined, Pesty and Angie have pancakes to eat. Yay pancakes.

------------

Astrid just smiles and sits next to Jamie happy to see the baby sleeping.

[Beans]

It's like Captain Planet, but with only two Planeteers instead of five!
Let our powers combine!
ATTENTION-DEFICIT-DISORDER!
MASOCHISM!
Woosh!
And yay pancakes.
Om nom.
---
Carrie nods.

[McBish]

Angie sits down to eat. So Pesty how have you and Grant been doing?

[Beans]

She shrugs.
We've been fine.
She doesn't mention that she and Grant finally got it on. That would be TMI.

[McBish]

Angie smiles and nods. That's good.

[Beans]

Yeah...
You feeling better today?

[McBish]

Angie nods. Guess I just needed a good nights sleep. I didn't even have any dreams, at least none I can remember. She says with a smile.

[Beans]

That's good.
I'm glad to help.

[McBish]

Thanks Pesty, you've been a good friend to me.

[Beans]

Any time. The cute catgirl smiles.

[McBish]

Angie smiles back and continues to eat her breakfast running out of things to say.

[Beans]

Pesty eats too.

[Volug]

Kiba is undeadtimed. He seems to be concentrating on his hand.
In the kitchen.


Masato is in THAT room, flipping through channels.

IF there was more people on and I had better ideas something interesting would happen now.

[Quinsar]

Nathan is around.

[Volug]

Kiba smells him out, he gets up and goes to find him.

Uh, Nathan?

[Quinsar]

Hi daddy!
How are you?
