[NeXus]HALO CXLII: Everybody is dead Dave

[Quinsar]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
she grins.

[ApeofLight]

Andrew also gets back into a fighting stance.

[horngeek]

Meidani, this time, moves a lot faster, going for a strike to Andrew's gut.

----

Meidani grins back! "Thanks for making it for me."

[Quinsar]

It's no problem. I like cooking for people. I'm glad I was able to cook it for you.

[ApeofLight]

" Waa-guhh. " Andrew doesn't have much more time to react than that. He staggers back a bit dazed. " Agh, okay, that was unexpected. "

[horngeek]

"You're really good at it, too."

----

Meidani chuckles. "Yeah, I had been holding back quite a bit..."

[Quinsar]

Thanks.
So... What now...?

[ApeofLight]

" Geh, okay, round three. " Andrew says getting back into stance. This time it seems a little... different... like there is slightly less light around Andrew now.

[horngeek]

"Hmmm... what do you want to do?"

----

Meidani nods. "All right."

She gets back into her stance.

[Quinsar]

I don't know... You decide...

[horngeek]

"Well, I suppose we could watch a movie or something..."

[ApeofLight]

Andrew goes in for a strike moving about as fast as Meidani was a moment ago.

[horngeek]

Meidani blocks it, launching a flurry of blows at him.

[Quinsar]

okay, let's go watch a movie.
She smiles and stands.

[horngeek]

Meidani stands, heading to the movie room! "Hmmm... what movie do you want to watch?"

[Quinsar]

I dunno.. Uh.. It's almost Halloween! Maybe a horror movie?

[horngeek]

Meidani chuckles. "All right..."

She looks for a horror movie! "Although, I've never found horror movies that scary. I mean, I can just walk away at any time."

[ApeofLight]

Meidani blocks it, launching a flurry of blows at him.

Andrew blocks most of them and even throws in a few of his own, but he can't keep up. He eventually gets socked in the face.

[horngeek]

Meidani stops when she hits him. "You all right?"

[Quinsar]

Yeah! I'm a scardey cat, though.

[horngeek]

Meidani chuckles as she puts the DVD in. "If it gets too scary, you can snuggle against me then."

[ApeofLight]

Meidani stops when she hits him. "You all right?"

" Ugh, yeah, you just hit me. Want to call it or keep going? "

[horngeek]

"Let's call it for now."

[Quinsar]

Okay.
Amanda smiles and tales a seat.

[horngeek]

Meidani puts on the movie!

[Quinsar]

Amanda pats the spot next to her for Meodani to sit.

[ApeofLight]

Andrew nods. " Alright, good enough for me. "

[horngeek]

Meidani sits next to her!

----

Meidani nods. "I'm also going to have to find someone to help me with escape skills..."

[ApeofLight]

" Yeah, I'm not very good with knots and rope and stuff. I would probably just put your hands into something solid with my magic or something like that. " Andrew says and shrugs.

[Quinsar]

Amanda is a scaredy cat, she screams and singles into Meodani throughout the movie.

[horngeek]

And Meidani lets her snuggle against her!

----

"...you can do that?

Would it have any ill-effects on me? And how much of the body can you do it to?

...actually, if the answer to the second question is 'no' it'd probably be better to demonstrate it."

[ApeofLight]

" Er, yeah I guess. I don't think so... unless I made it so you couldn't breather or something... " Andrew is now finding it awkward to be asked these questions about his powers.

[horngeek]

"...sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable. It's just an interesting ability."

[Quinsar]

The movie is soon over.

[Volug]

Swain is in his parent's place, in the base... In his room. The lights are all out, his hood is off, illuminated by some magical green-ish flames he's conjured. He's using them to read out of some tome.

[horngeek]

Meidani looks at Amanda. "You all right?"

[Quinsar]

Anda giggles and nods.
Yeah, I'm fine.

[ApeofLight]

" Er, no it's alright. " Andrew then responds to her earlier question. " Umm... okay... " Andrew leans down and places his hand on the floor. There's a slight dark aura that appears around his hand before the floor beneath his hand seems to just sort of give way, like it suddenly turned to a liquid.

[horngeek]

Meidani touches the part of the floor. "That's a very interesting power... and I can see how you could trap someone using it. Heck, I don't think I could escape at all if you put me in a stone block up to my neck or something like that."

----

Meidani chuckles. "That's good."

[ApeofLight]

She'll find it to be solid, just the part Andrew wants to be like a liquid seems to be liquid. Andrew pulls his hand out. " Yeah, that's just one thing I've found that I can do with my magic. I can do all sorts of things with it. Usually has to do with matter though. "

[horngeek]

"Interesting...

Hmmm."

Meidani seems to be thinking.

[Quinsar]

Did you have fun?

[ApeofLight]

" What are you thinking about? " Andrew asks seeing her think.

[horngeek]

"Yeah, I did. Probably would have been more scared if I couldn't move or something."

Meidani chuckles. "But I still enjoyed it."

----

"Just wondering whether you could do something like put someone in a stone block.

It does have a lot of interesting applications..."

[Quinsar]

Yeah. Thanks for letting e scream into your shoulder.

[ApeofLight]

"Yeah, I did. Probably would have been more scared if I couldn't move or something."

Meidani chuckles. "But I still enjoyed it."

----

"Just wondering whether you could do something like put someone in a stone block.

It does have a lot of interesting applications..."

Andrew blinks. " I... suppose. "

[horngeek]

Meidani looks at her. 'It's all right."

----

She shrugs. "Anyway, enough of that. Want to have some food or something?"

[Quinsar]

Amanda smiles. Then deadtimes.

[ApeofLight]

Meidani looks at her. 'It's all right."

----

She shrugs. "Anyway, enough of that. Want to have some food or something?"

Andrew nods. " Sure, that sounds fine. "

[horngeek]

Meidani nods, and starts for the kitchen!

But gets deadtime oozed for 30-50 minutes.

[ApeofLight]

Andrew follows her along to the kitchen.

[iElf]

aemi plot clone, and summer are around

[horngeek]

Meidani and Summer... where were we?

[InyutheBeatIs]

aemi plot clone, and summer are around

Chris can run into the Aemi plot clone.

[iElf]

Meidani and Summer... where were we?
meidani was helping summer up again after she triped while playing volleyball^^"thank you..."

Chris can run into the Aemi plot clone.
currently she is walking through the corridors, wearing some of Din's old clothes....they surprisingly fit her

[horngeek]

"So, what do you want to do now?"

[InyutheBeatIs]

currently she is walking through the corridors, wearing some of Din's old clothes....they surprisingly fit her

Not sure if he'd recognize them, but...

Chris smiles when he sees her. "Hey Aemi! How are you doing?"

[iElf]

"So, what do you want to do now?"
"..play in the sand a bit? do you want to dig me in?"

Not sure if he'd recognize them, but...

Chris smiles when he sees her. "Hey Aemi! How are you doing?"

she smiles "i'm ok....how are things with you and mom?"

[InyutheBeatIs]

she smiles "i'm ok....how are things with you and mom?"

"We're doing good, we're doing good."

[horngeek]

Meidani grins, nods, and starts to dig a hole in the sand!

[iElf]

"We're doing good, we're doing good."
she smiles "well...that's good then " chris may slowly start to feel that he's seen her face before...

Meidani grins, nods, and starts to dig a hole in the sand!

summer grins "...with or without clothes?"

[horngeek]

Meidani looks at Summer. "Hmmm... you choose."

[InyutheBeatIs]

she smiles "well...that's good then " chris may slowly start to feel that he's seen her face before...

The effect does take him for a second, Chris furrowing his eyebrows slightly as he looks at her for a second. Afterwards, he shakes his head to clear it.

[iElf]

Meidani looks at Summer. "Hmmm... you choose."
summer blushes, and takes off her bikini "...sand will get under it and itch..."

The effect does take him for a second, Chris furrowing his eyebrows slightly as he looks at her for a second. Afterwards, he shakes his head to clear it.

...the effect is rather persistent though....

[horngeek]

Meidani chuckles. "Good point."

She finishes digging the hole! "All right. All ready."

[InyutheBeatIs]

...the effect is rather persistent though....

Chris finally caves. "...You know, Aemi...you look familiar to me somehow..."

[iElf]

Meidani chuckles. "Good point."

She finishes digging the hole! "All right. All ready."
she grins, and gets into the hole!

Chris finally caves. "...You know, Aemi...you look familiar to me somehow..."

she frowns "...of course you do...I'm your daughter!" ....no aemi...something else...

[horngeek]

And Meidani fills it up again!

Summer should now be buried up to her neck. :smalltongue:

[McBish]

Angie leaves her room moving slowly and looking a bit dazed as she makes her way to the kitchen.

[InyutheBeatIs]

she frowns "...of course you do...I'm your daughter!" ....no aemi...something else...

Chris chuckles. "No no no, I don't mean like that. I recognize you of course...but, it's just that...you remind me of someone."

[iElf]

And Meidani fills it up again!

Summer should now be buried up to her neck. :smalltongue:
summer giggles "...mhhh....so warm"

Chris chuckles. "No no no, I don't mean like that. I recognize you of course...but, it's just that...you remind me of someone."

"...maybe my mother?"

[horngeek]

Meidani looks at her, lying on the sand next to her. "Oh? Do you want some shade?

How much can you move?"

[iElf]

Meidani looks at her, lying on the sand next to her. "Oh? Do you want some shade?"

she grins "no...it's brilliant!"

[horngeek]

"Oh, good. So, how long should I keep you there?"

[iElf]

"Oh, good. So, how long should I keep you there?"

she grins "...as long as you like!"

[horngeek]

Meidani chuckles. "All right, then. So, want to talk about anything?"

{{But I must deadtime.}}

[InyutheBeatIs]

"...maybe my mother?"


Chris nods his head. "...Maybe, yeah..."

[McBish]

Angie wanders around the kitchen slowly putting together a meal.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Angie wanders around the kitchen slowly putting together a meal.

...Chris or one of the dogs might be available, if you wish.

[McBish]

Sure Angie is available to anyone who wants to interact. Though right now she doesn't look in the best of shape right now. With bags under her eyes and a vacant look on her face one might even think she is sleep walking.

[Quinsar]

Little Amanda is playing with a ball.




Adult Amanda is reading.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Sure Angie is available to anyone who wants to interact. Though right now she doesn't look in the best of shape right now. With bags under her eyes and a vacant look on her face one might even think she is sleep walking.

Clone Chris shows up. He looks a bit concerned at the shape Angie's in. "...Angie, are you alright?"

[McBish]

Angie blinks and looks up from her meal preparation.

Huh? Oh hi Chris did you say something?

[InyutheBeatIs]

Angie blinks and looks up from her meal preparation.

Huh? Oh hi Chris did you say something?

Chris looks at her. "You look like you haven't slept in forever. Are you alright?"

[McBish]

Huh, yeah I am OK. I just ... well haven't been sleeping much I guess. I'm sure I am fine.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Huh, yeah I am OK. I just ... well haven't been sleeping much I guess. I'm sure I am fine.

Chris quirks an eyebrow at this. "Uh-huh."

"Any idea why you aren't sleeping much?"

[McBish]

Oh I don't know one thing or another I guess. Angie shrugs a bit wincing as her shoulder rises and falls.

[horngeek]

Adult Amanda is reading.

Meidani could come across Adult Amanda again. "Hello again."

[InyutheBeatIs]

Oh I don't know one thing or another I guess. Angie shrugs a bit wincing as her shoulder rises and falls.

"Oh come now. I may be engaged but I'm still the resident unofficial councellor around here." Chris notices the shoulder. "Something wrong with your shoulder?"



((An announcement. Beans will be on late tonight, but the timeskip will happen today.))

[McBish]

Angie shakes her head. Congrats on the engagement. And don't worry my shoulder will be fine, it will clear up in a bit.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Angie shakes her head. Congrats on the engagement. And don't worry my shoulder will be fine, it will clear up in a bit.

"Thanks. But you're still not telling me anything." Chris reclines against the counter. "Your new boyfriend giving you trouble?"

[McBish]

No, and he isn't my boyfriend. I haven't seen him in a long time actually. I've been keeping myself busy.

Angie looks down at her sandwich and tries to think if she is actually hungry and wants to eat or not.

[InyutheBeatIs]

No, and he isn't my boyfriend. I haven't seen him in a long time actually. I've been keeping myself busy.

Angie looks down at her sandwich and tries to think if she is actually hungry and wants to eat or not.

"Ah. Just don't stretch yourself out too much."

[McBish]

I'll try my best. She smiles at Chris and goes to pick up her sandwich but a spasm runs through her arm causing her to drop the plate, it smashes on the floor.

Angie groans in pain, which if you know Angie's pain tolerance shows that she must be in substantial pain.

[InyutheBeatIs]

I'll try my best. She smiles at Chris and goes to pick up her sandwich but a spasm runs through her arm causing her to drop the plate, it smashes on the floor.

Angie groans in pain, which if you know Angie's pain tolerance shows that she must be in substantial pain.

Chris doesn't know about her pain tolerance, but he rushes over to her. "Woah now, you alright?"

[McBish]

Angie grabs her shoulder. It's fine it will fade, it always does. She falls to her knees and leans up against the cupboards.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Angie grabs her shoulder. It's fine it will fade, it always does. She falls to her knees and leans up against the cupboards.

Chris crouches down. "I'm not worried about the pain fading, I'm worried about what's causing it in the first place."

[McBish]

It's fine don't worry about it. I have it under control. Just used a bit too much this time.

Angie closes her eyes trying to get through the pain.

[InyutheBeatIs]

It's fine don't worry about it. I have it under control. Just used a bit too much this time.

Angie closes her eyes trying to get through the pain.

Chris looks a bit miffed. "A bit too much what? Come on, talk to me here!"

[McBish]

You wouldn't understand if I told you. It's just, something I need to do OK. I'll be fine. She says gasping in pain

[InyutheBeatIs]

You wouldn't understand if I told you. It's just, something I need to do OK. I'll be fine. She says gasping in pain

Chris just looks at her. "Try me. At least let me get you some painkillers or something."

[McBish]

Angie grits her teeth and shakes her head. Painkillers won't help. They aren't powerful enough.

She sighs as the worst of the pain passes.

It's a powder. I use it, it helps clear my mind, keep me at peace. I just used a bit too much this time. I'll be fine.

She is sweating and pale, looking even more exhausted then before.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Angie grits her teeth and shakes her head. Painkillers won't help. They aren't powerful enough.

She sighs as the worst of the pain passes.

It's a powder. I use it, it helps clear my mind, keep me at peace. I just used a bit too much this time. I'll be fine.

She is sweating and pale, looking even more exhausted then before.

Chris stares blankly, and tilts his head. He's slowly getting madder and madder, his policeman side kicking in.

"...Some kind of illicit drug?"

[McBish]

Yeah you could say that. Not many places will sell it openly.

Angie does her best to not look ashamed. The pain helps distract her though.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Yeah you could say that. Not many places will sell it openly.

Angie does her best to not look ashamed. The pain helps distract her though.

Chris slumps down. "Well now, what a twist." Chris looks down. He seems a bit dissapointed and surprised at this.

[McBish]

A twist? If you say so. Don't worry about it too much. The pain is already passing. Angie says slowly starting to rise to her feet.

[InyutheBeatIs]

A twist? If you say so. Don't worry about it too much. The pain is already passing. Angie says slowly starting to rise to her feet.

"That was caused by an overdose, wasn't it?" Chris looks straight at Angie, his stare almost boring into her.

[McBish]

No... just a little bit too much, it was stronger then I expected. I'll be fine.

She gets to her feet and leans on the counter for support.

[InyutheBeatIs]

No... just a little bit too much, it was stronger then I expected. I'll be fine.

She gets to her feet and leans on the counter for support.

Chris jumps up, looking her in the eyes. "Which in my book is an overdose."

"What'll happen when you take even more than you did now, huh? Knocked into a coma for a week? Worse? Death?"

[McBish]

Thanks Chris, it's sweet of you to worry, but I'll be fine. I'll cut my doses down now that I know how strong this batch is.

I've been in coma's before, even died once or twice. I'm sure I'll be fine.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Thanks Chris, it's sweet of you to worry, but I'll be fine. I'll cut my doses down now that I know how strong this batch is.

I've been in coma's before, even died once or twice. I'm sure I'll be fine.

"And what about the next batch?! One thing I know is that such things aren't regulated! For all you know the next batch could be ten times as strong as this one! You're playing with fire and one day you're going to get burned."

I think the dying part went right over his head.

[McBish]

I know what I am doing Chris. Trust me a batch ten times as strong as this would only come from one place, and I know how to spot that. I'll be fine. Angie insists and slowly turns to start to walk away from him.

[DoomITP]

Grant might be in the hallway.

[InyutheBeatIs]

I know what I am doing Chris. Trust me a batch ten times as strong as this would only come from one place, and I know how to spot that. I'll be fine. Angie insists and slowly turns to start to walk away from him.

Chris steps in front of her. He tries to think of what to say, before realizing the situation is rather hopeless. He then just turns around and walks away, shaking his head as he does.

[McBish]

Angie stares at him briefly as he stands in front of her and then continues on her way to her room unless someone else interrupts her.

[Beans]

Beans is finally on.

[horngeek]

Hmmm... anyone wanna RP with Meidani?

[DoomITP]

She could talk to Grant.

[Beans]

Carrie is wandering with Thyna.

[horngeek]

Meidani comes across Grant! "Hello."

http://i43.tinypic.com/281yd6b.jpg

[InyutheBeatIs]

Carrie is wandering with Thyna.

Chris is still walking out from his interaction with Angie. He looks up, and puts on a smile for both of them.

[DoomITP]

Hello.

Grant says once he hears Meidani.

[Beans]

Carrie and Thy wave and come over to hug him.

[horngeek]

"I don't think I've seen you around here before. My name's Meidani."

[InyutheBeatIs]

Carrie and Thy wave and come over to hug him.

Chris just sort of stands there and lets them hug him. He hugs them back of course.

[DoomITP]

My name is Grant.

[horngeek]

"Nice to meet you, Grant."

[Beans]

Chris just sort of stands there and lets them hug him. He hugs them back of course.

Hey, you 'kay?

[Viera Champion]

I am here! Yay!

[InyutheBeatIs]

Hey, you 'kay?

"...Eh, it's kinda...complicated. I'll talk about it later."

[Beans]

Carrie nodnods, patting his back.

[DoomITP]

So, what are you up to?

[horngeek]

"At the moment? Just getting to know people. I've been away for a while, and..."

[InyutheBeatIs]

Carrie nodnods, patting his back.

Chris stands there and accepts it, after a while looking at Thyna.

"So, how are you doing, sweetheart?"

[Beans]

Thyna is still 10.
I'm good!
Mommy took me to school today!

[InyutheBeatIs]

Thyna is still 10.
I'm good!
Mommy took me to school today!

"Cool! And how did you do in school?"

[DoomITP]

And?

Grant asks.

[Quinsar]

Amanda is around. Timeskip soon?

[horngeek]

Plawt-Clone Meidani can encounter Amanda.

----

She shrugs. "Well, I just wanted to see if anyone new had arrived."

[ApeofLight]

Andrew undeadtimes.

[Viera Champion]

Hi Horngeek! Should we try and continue with Eldena and Whatshisface again?

Timeskip timeskip timeskip.

Luscan, Alhana, and New Gen are around.

[Quinsar]

Amanda will wave and smile! She's sitting next to a tall, blue haired boy.
Hi Meidani!

[Beans]

"Cool! And how did you do in school?"
She tells stuff and stuff and timeskip nao?

[horngeek]

Possibly maybe. I might redefine him a bit, though...

----

Meidani waves back! "Heya, Amanda."

[DoomITP]

That is interesting...

[Quinsar]

Yeah! Timeskip!:smallbiggrin:




How are you today?

[InyutheBeatIs]

She tells stuff and stuff and timeskip nao?

Sure, timeskip nao.

Chris smiles, and at the end pats Thyna on the head. "I'm glad to hear it."

[horngeek]

"What is?"

----

Meidani smiles. "I'm great!"

[Volug]

Swain undeadtimes, in his dark room... Magical flames illuminate a book he's reading, and he has a misty/silver magic screen near him as well, images flash on it.

[Viera Champion]

I wanna make timeskip thread like I did last time!

[Quinsar]

That's good! This is my boyfriend, Jacob.
he smiles.
Hello.

[horngeek]

"Hello, Jacob. How are you?"

[Beans]

Thyna giggles happily.

[Volug]

I'm fine with Shiro making the thread... Wondering what my chars will be doing though... Depends on what Quin does with Ranulf or whatever?

This still applies too.


Swain undeadtimes, in his dark room... Magical flames illuminate a book he's reading, and he has a misty/silver magic screen near him as well, images flash on it.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Thyna giggles happily.

Chris then scoops her up!

[Viera Champion]

Can I make it? Can I make it?:smallbiggrin:

[Beans]

Thyna is giggling madly by now.

Go ahead and make it, Shiro.

[Quinsar]

I'm good, how are you?

[Volug]

Go ahead Shiro...

I'll just wait here for whatever, Kiba's gone off...

[horngeek]

"I'm good, myself."

[Quinsar]

That's good. it's nice to meet you.

[horngeek]

"Nice to meet you too. Oh. Amanda, how did the exam go?"

Hmmm... I have an idea for Meidani for the timeskip, actually. :smallsmile:

[Beans]

Just as a heads-up for anyone I didn't tell earlier, Carrie appears in Timeskip returning from a 4 or 5 year war against Vocusta.

Carrie and Thyna are happies tiems.

[Viera Champion]

Timeskip!! (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9630688#post9630688)

[InyutheBeatIs]

Thyna is giggling madly by now.

Go ahead and make it, Shiro.

Chris is laughing for a bit, before kissing her on the forehead. He then looks at Carrie, and smiles.


TIMESKIP GO!!! ...Wow, intuition much? :smalltongue:

[Quinsar]

Posted what my characters have been doing.




It went good!

[Volug]

Swain, doing the same stuff here.

[horngeek]

"That's good!"

[Quinsar]

How was your day?

[InyutheBeatIs]

Posting what's been going on for a while now.

There has to be a maid robot, by the way. Also, there's going to be an estate, if you guys don't mind.


Chris is still hanging out with Carrie and Thyna.

[horngeek]

Meidani nods. "Pretty good. Been relaxing, mostly."

[Quinsar]

THat's good.
Amanda nods.

[horngeek]

"There are some things I want to practice, but I need help for them..."

[Quinsar]

Ooh, like what? Maybe I could help!

[horngeek]

Meidani chuckles. "Well, the first is combat, and I'd need a sparring partner for that... I also want to practice escaping, and I'd need help for that too."

[Quinsar]

I'll help.
She smiles and nods.

[horngeek]

"All right. How good are you with knots?"

[Quinsar]

I'm pretty good.
she nods.

[horngeek]

"All right, then. What I need you to do is tie me up as securely as you can, and I'll try to get out of it, okay?

Probably not in the [whichever public area they're in], though."

[Quinsar]

Okay. Where should we go, then?

[horngeek]

"Hmmm... somewhere we won't just get walked in on and someone get the wrong idea. Do you have any ideas?"

[ApeofLight]

Andrew starts to wander the base, doing nothing in particular.

[Quinsar]

Umm,... One of our rooms?

[horngeek]

Meidani nods. "I've got everything I need in my room, so probably there."

She'll lead Amanda to her room!

[Quinsar]

Amanda nods and follows her.

[horngeek]

Once there, Meidani digs around in a box, and brings out a lot of rope. "Okay. So, tie me up in any way, as long as it's as secure as you can make it, all right?"

[Quinsar]

SHe nods, and begins to tie! Very very tightly.

[horngeek]

Meidani will let her tie her up (and also cooperate with whatever Amanda tells her to do to make it easier), and wait until Amanda says she's finished.

[Quinsar]

AManda finishes quickly.

[horngeek]

Meidani wriggles a bit, testing the bonds.

How did Amanda tie her?

And how secure is it?

[Quinsar]

Tied her hand and legs, then just around her body. Very secure.

[horngeek]

Ah. Meidani begins wriggling her arms, trying to get a hand free!

She's pretty good at this.

[Quinsar]

Amanda watches.

[horngeek]

And eventually, Meidani manages to get her hands free! She then unties her feet and arms. "That was some pretty good knotwork."

[Volug]

Still here... Swain, whatever, just watching movies, checking back here.

[Quinsar]

Thanks!
Amanda grins.

[horngeek]

"If I didn't know how to escape, I would have been stuck."

[Quinsar]

Thanks, I used to tie a lot of things...

[horngeek]

"Oh? Like what?"

Meidani sits up.

[Quinsar]

Just... Stuff together when I was living with dad. Like food.

[horngeek]

"Ah. Right."

Meidani sits back a bit.

[Quinsar]

So... What now?

[horngeek]

"Well... what do you want to do?"

[Quinsar]

I... Really don't know.

[horngeek]

Meidani shrugs. "...hmmm... maybe I could teach you how to escape stuff?"

[Quinsar]

Okay, sounds fun!
She grins.

[horngeek]

Meidani nods. "All right, then. Hold you hands in front of you, then."

She holds up a piece of rope. "We'll start off easy for now. If you can get out of this, we'll go to behind your back next. Okay?"

She'll tie Amanda's wrists together in front of her.

[Quinsar]

She nods, and, if they're not too difficult, iwll escape easily...

[horngeek]

Meidani smiles when she escapes. "All right. Now, hands behind your back, please..."

This time, she'll tie Amanda's wrists crossed behind her back. A bit harder, this time.

[Quinsar]

Amanda will try and will probably eventually escape.

[horngeek]

Meidani nods once she escapes. "That's pretty good. Do you want me to try something really difficult now?"

[Quinsar]

Okay, sure!:smallbiggrin:

[horngeek]

"Actually... before we go on with escaping, I might do something impossible to escape from, so you know what it feels like, okay?"

[Quinsar]

Okay.
She nods.

[horngeek]

Meidani nods, and pulls out... a straitjacket. "This isn't totally inescapable, but only if you know how to. So, you ready?"

She holds out the jacket to put it on Amanda.

[Quinsar]

She nods, and let's Meidani put it on.

[horngeek]

Meidani puts it on her, and buckles it up! "Okay. Struggle for a bit, and see how that feels. After that, I'll talk a bit about what to do if you need to escape for real, all right?"

[Quinsar]

Amanda nods, and begins to struggle.

[horngeek]

Meidani watches.

Amanda should find it impossible to escape from.

[Quinsar]

She won't be able too. She's looking a bit... Scared. Really scared, actually.

[horngeek]

Meidani puts an arm on her shoulder. "Do you want me to let you out now? You're looking a bit panicked."

[Quinsar]

Y-y-yeah...
She shakes.

[horngeek]

Meidani nods, and unbuckles the jacket and takes it off. "It is a bit scary. Part of why I wanted you to know what it feels like- it'll hopefully be a bit easier to deal with it if you're ever in that situation for real."

She gives Amanda a quick hug, then pulls up a chair and motions for Amanda to sit. "Can you tell me exactly what you found so scary?"

[Quinsar]

It brought back some bad memories...
She shakes still.

[horngeek]

Meidani hugs her. "Do you want to talk about it?"

[Quinsar]

She hugs back and shakes her head.

[horngeek]

Meidani nods understandingly. "I understand. If you ever do, I'll be here, all right?

Let's finish this lesson for now. Do you want to have another one later? Or would you rather not?"

[Quinsar]

Yeah... ANother one later.
She nods.

[horngeek]

"All right.

...if it's okay with you, I might try to help you not panic at being in the straitjacket as well. But only if it's okay with you."

[Volug]

Swain/Seth undeadtime for the last time tonight... In darkness... In his room...

[Quinsar]

I'd like that...

[horngeek]

"All right. One last thing I want to show you... can you put the jacket on me, please?"

Meidani holds out her arms. "Then we'll take a break."

[Quinsar]

Amanda nods and puts it on her.

[horngeek]

Once she's in the jacket, Meidani starts wriggling. "It's actually not entirely impossible to get out, but you've got to be really flexible to do it..."

Eventually, she managed to bring the sleeves over her head and get the buckle where they're tied together in front of her. From there, she wriggles out of the jacket. "But even if you can't get out of something, the best thing to do is not to panic. Okay?"

[Quinsar]

Okay.
She nods.

[horngeek]

"So, what do you want to do now?"

[Quinsar]

I dunno...
What do you wanna do?

[horngeek]

"Maybe we could go have something to eat? Or watch another movie, maybe."

[Quinsar]

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"}Sure... if you want to.[/COLOR]

[horngeek]

Meidani looks at her. "You all right?"

[ApeofLight]

Andrew is wandering around the base currently.

[Quinsar]

Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go.

[horngeek]

Meidani nods, and will lead Amanda out of her room and to the movie room! "You pick a movie, 'kay?"

[Quinsar]

She nods, and picks an action movie!

[horngeek]

And Meidani settles down to watch!

[Quinsar]

Amanda sits next to her.

[horngeek]

Aaand... they watch the movie!

{{How long do you have left on?}}

[Quinsar]

About Two hours.
Amanda watches,

[horngeek]

And so does Meidani!

Afterwards: "That was a really good movie."

[Quinsar]

Yeah, it was. Kinda silly, though.
