Ahhh the wonders of the HALO Timeskip. The chance to give a future to your characters without having to worry about it messing up what your characters are doing in present time.

Let's seeeeeeee... Um history... Well it started when a whole room of people got hit by age potions, and hilarity ensued when people realized they were married, had kids, etcetera. Than we were all like "What if this became real?!" and Lil Shiro (Viera Champion or Kurama back then, can't remember which) was all like "I'm making the thread!" and he did. It was more popular and moved faster than normal HALO, but it died after a whole lotta threads. But now it's back!

So yeah... This is set like seven years in the future or something. Since it is semi-private, please contact Lil Shiro before joining. Thannnnkkkssss.

Let's see my characters.




Amanda left when she turned eighteen, she eloped with Jacob and hasn't visited her parents since. Jacob is a proffesional tennis player now.

Vetz had twins with Psy, who grew up with Colin until Colin found out Vetz wasn't his dad an left.

Riara probably got married, and Erica is still doing her thing.

Meg went to live with Riara when the war started. She remained neutral, not taking up arms for either side.

Ranulf lived with Kiba and Swain.

Trevor lived with Luro, and eventually adopted a child.

Grant might be in the kitchen.

I won't introduce the swain here till he's spoken to a bit more in the normal thread.

Kiba won't be much different, besides the obvious aging, just living with his husband Ranulf.

Masato, unlike the last Timeskip... Didn't get the huge change of heart to go to his paladiny goodness, but has returned to more evil powers once again, "changing" back to Zio (for those who remember).

Viera Champion
2010-10-25, 08:01 PM
Let's see...
Gen... I dunno. I really want her to have something crazy happened. She didn't die though in this thread.

Colin. He knows who his true parents are now. He still hasn't diverted back to his normal age, so he is now 23, and leading a vigorous campaign to destroy the man he once called father.

Alhana and Lee haven't changed, they're still married.

Luscan and May's current status can be decided by Doom.

Luke Mager is the same gun slinging, ice magic wielding, rebellious teen he was in the last timeskip.

Luro and Trevor. See Quin's post.

A knocking may be heard on the front door of HALO.

Outside... stands a figure.

Meidani. She hasn't been here in five years.

Beans
2010-10-25, 08:02 PM
Carrie has been away for several years at war. Every week, she wrote a letter to Amanda, Thyna, Chris, and Genkai.

Thyna's 16 now. Lovely like her mother, but like her in less-positive respects too.

Pesty has settled down a bit to become an artist and maker of music, and has been a huge Carrionite supporter.

Thyna has been learning guitar from her "aunt" Pesty.

She's playing her mom's Keel model '75 Indrid Cold acoustic guitar.

Where is Colin? I think I'll do my little thing for that.

Viera Champion
2010-10-25, 08:06 PM
Colin is in his house, being convinced by Grace not to leave just yet, and that maybe killing Vetz isn't such a good idea.

DoomITP
2010-10-25, 08:07 PM
Grant has not done much, he sometimes teaches sword fighting or goes and fights some demons to keep in shape. :smalltongue:

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 08:07 PM
Colin will get the feeling someone is watching him...

Viera Champion
2010-10-25, 08:15 PM
Colin frowns and draws his swords.
Who's there?

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 08:17 PM
No answer. If he looks out his window he'll see the long flowing hair he might remember.... And hate.

horngeek
2010-10-25, 08:17 PM
Meidani is still knocking on the front door of HALO.

Beans
2010-10-25, 08:17 PM
Thyna opens the door.

horngeek
2010-10-25, 08:19 PM
Meidani is standing there!

Unlike many others... she doesn't appear to have aged at all. "Hello... Thyna?"

Beans
2010-10-25, 08:21 PM
Meidani?
Wha... how...
Hi!

Viera Champion
2010-10-25, 08:22 PM
Colin does notice, and he growls, he knows that hair all too well. He aims an arrow at the window.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 08:23 PM
It disappears from the window. she's trying to escape!

horngeek
2010-10-25, 08:24 PM
Meidani smiles. "It has been a long time, hasn't it?"

Beans
2010-10-25, 08:25 PM
Meidani smiles. "It has been a long time, hasn't it?"
She nods.
Come in...
Sorry if I'm obsessing, but... have you heard any news about my mom and the war?

Viera Champion
2010-10-25, 08:25 PM
Colin kicks his door open and steps outside.
Get back here you coward and I won't kill you!
He yells angrily.

horngeek
2010-10-25, 08:26 PM
Meidani shakes her head. "I've been in my home universe, Creation, for the last... it'd be five Nexus years, wouldn't it?"

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 08:27 PM
Standing a bit down the street is... her:
http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1010/d25/2005/2ca1744.png
he name is Sindray. She's one of Vetz's twins, and she love sher big brother. She stops, shaking.
She stares at her feet...

DoomITP
2010-10-25, 08:28 PM
Grant might be in the training room.

Beans
2010-10-25, 08:28 PM
Meidani shakes her head. "I've been in my home universe, Creation, for the last... it'd be five Nexus years, wouldn't it?"
She nods.
How's that been?

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 08:29 PM
Chris has grown a nice beard by this point, being an adult at 26(?). He has built an impressive estate since Carrie had gone off to war, as well as having built a maid robot with Amanda before she left.

The three dogs, Boss, Fang, and Spike, have gained a new ability to turn into humans. They serve as occupants and butlers of the estate, alongside the maid robot (who has not been OOCly named yet)


Chris is sitting in the estate, scanning one of the letters written by Carrie.

horngeek
2010-10-25, 08:29 PM
Meidani sighs. "...being one of seven hundred people ruling the whole world is a lot of work."

Viera Champion
2010-10-25, 08:30 PM
Genkai appears next to Meidani and Thyna.
You're back!
-------
Colin glares.
What do you want?

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 08:31 PM
Don't hurt me....
I-I want to help you.
She shakes.

Volug
2010-10-25, 08:32 PM
Kiba isn't doing anything special, Seth/Swain is out...

Meh.

Beans
2010-10-25, 08:34 PM
Thyna nods. And then Gen!
She smiles at Gen...
---
Hopefully the estate is near HALO.

A figure is coming up the path to the estate. Dim and dull.

horngeek
2010-10-25, 08:35 PM
Meidani smiles too. "Hey, Gen. How are you?"

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 08:37 PM
Hopefully the estate is near HALO.

A figure is coming up the path to the estate. Dim and dull.

It is. Chris was smart enough to put a portal inside HALO that can access the estate.

Boss, in humanoid form (who looks basically like Ian Mcshane with a scar over his eye in a butler's outfit), notices the figure coming up, and opens the door, trying to see who it is.

Viera Champion
2010-10-25, 08:37 PM
Colin frowns.
How so?
-------
Gen smiles.
I'm good.
Thyna hould know that Gen isn't good. She has been getting mixed up in some pretty bad things lately ever since she divorced Carrie. Of course Meidani won't know that but Thyna will.

DoomITP
2010-10-25, 08:37 PM
Grant can be found in the hallway.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 08:38 PM
I-I left them... Th-they know I'm here and I can never go back... Y-you're my brother, and I love you a-and don't want to be witht hem, th-they're evil... I don't want to be evil.

Viera Champion
2010-10-25, 08:40 PM
He frowns.
How can I trust you?

Beans
2010-10-25, 08:40 PM
A woman of average size in something sort of resembling women's hunting camo, but mottled and dull, carrying a shotgun over her shoulder.
---
Thyna reaches back to squeeze Gen's hand. Not that uncommon; she genuinely likes Gen and is unafraid to show she cares.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 08:40 PM
Y-you're my brother.... You have to trust me...

horngeek
2010-10-25, 08:41 PM
Meidani smiles. "That's good.

Thyna, you mentioned a war?"

She smiles a little upon seeing the hand-holding.

DoomITP
2010-10-25, 08:44 PM
The woman in question could meet Grant.

Beans
2010-10-25, 08:45 PM
Yep... long story short, four or so years ago Vocusta the Many re-emerged and... war.
Mom went off to keep us safe and Aunt Pesty's been supporting her with every new album and every new round of art.
---
Sorry, I should have specified.
[Estate]
This is where the woman is coming.

Viera Champion
2010-10-25, 08:47 PM
Rawr! Alhana or Luscan could be with Grant.
-------
Colin frowns.
Yeah, trusting "family members" worked out real well for me didn't it? Notice how I'm in this situation because of that?

horngeek
2010-10-25, 08:47 PM
Meidani frowns. "I don't know who that is... sorry."

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 08:47 PM
A woman of average size in something sort of resembling women's hunting camo, but mottled and dull, carrying a shotgun over her shoulder.

Boss looks back, beckoning to Spike who happened to be nearby. Spike is also in humanoid form, a hulk of a man rippling with muscles, and his gentle face disturbed by two horns on his forehead.

Spike walks over to Boss. "Tell Master Chris that someone is coming." Boss says. Spike nods his head and leaves to deliver the message.

Meanwhile, Boss opens up the estate doors and walks through them, standing in front in greeting with all the properness in the world.

((Deadtime for dinner))

Beans
2010-10-25, 08:50 PM
Meidani frowns. "I don't know who that is... sorry."

She's evil and that's all that matters.
---
[Estate]
The dusty, tired woman nods weakly to Boss.
Hiya Boss.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 08:51 PM
I-I'm sorry. But even of were not related... You're still my brother am I want to help you.

horngeek
2010-10-25, 08:51 PM
"I see..."

Meidani looks at them. "...I might see if I can get any help from the Deliberative. We're pretty secure at the moment, after all..."

Viera Champion
2010-10-25, 08:55 PM
"I see..."

Meidani looks at them. "...I might see if I can get any help from the Deliberative. We're pretty secure at the moment, after all..."

Colin sighs.
Even if I were to let you help, you are too young.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 08:56 PM
She's physically about twelve.
Please brother, you know I can!
She's a great magic user, though.

Beans
2010-10-25, 08:57 PM
"I see..."

Meidani looks at them. "...I might see if I can get any help from the Deliberative. We're pretty secure at the moment, after all..."

That'd be great if you could.
Shiro, not quite the right quote.

Thyna squeezes Gen's hand.

Viera Champion
2010-10-25, 08:59 PM
She's physically about twelve.
Please brother, you know I can!
She's a great magic user, though.

He sighs.
Finnnneeee. Jut don't expect me to help you out.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 09:00 PM
Okay brother! Thanks!
she tries to hug him.

horngeek
2010-10-25, 09:01 PM
Meidani smiles. "It'd give some of the more... belligerent members something to do, anyway."

Beans
2010-10-25, 09:04 PM
Cool...
Thyna smiles.

Viera Champion
2010-10-25, 09:04 PM
Okay brother! Thanks!
she tries to hug him.

He sighs again as he is hugged.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 09:05 PM
Can I come inside big brother?

horngeek
2010-10-25, 09:07 PM
"So, how are you apart from that?"

Viera Champion
2010-10-25, 09:07 PM
He nods. Grace is making soup.

Beans
2010-10-25, 09:07 PM
Pretty good.

How 'bout you, Gen?

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 09:08 PM
She heads inside, smiling.
She'll wave shyly to Grace.

Viera Champion
2010-10-25, 09:09 PM
Pretty good.

How 'bout you, Gen?

I've been doing better than ever.
She lies.

Translates too: "I have found a new drug to use!

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 09:12 PM
She heads inside, smiling.
She'll wave shyly to Grace.

Repost for Shiro...

horngeek
2010-10-25, 09:13 PM
Is there anything in her body language that might indicate she's lying?

Beans
2010-10-25, 09:16 PM
Thyna squeezes her hand again.
Pesty's recording another album and she wants us on some of the tracks, 'kay?
I'm sure she'd be glad to have you there too, Meidani.

Viera Champion
2010-10-25, 09:17 PM
Is there anything in her body language that might indicate she's lying?

Interestingly enough, literally EVERYTHING in her body language indicates she I'd lying.
----------
Grace smiles and waves back.

horngeek
2010-10-25, 09:19 PM
Meidani, in that case, turns to her. "...Gen... is something wrong?"

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 09:19 PM
H-hi Grace. You're not ma at me, are you?

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 09:30 PM
[Estate]
The dusty, tired woman nods weakly to Boss.
Hiya Boss.

Boss gives a smile. A small smile, but for him, it's the same as though he hugged her and started laughing with joy. It shows in his eyes, however. "Welcome back, Madam Carrie. I sent Spike to get Master Chris. He should be here any second now."

Right on time, Chris shows up. Just short of 6 feet, he has a fantastic beard. He is wearing a black business jacket, with a white shirt underneath. He smiles widely. "...Carrie."

Beans
2010-10-25, 09:34 PM
Thyna is concerned Thyna.
---
Carrie looks up at Chris. Her hair is tangled and dirty, her wings are battered and dusty, and her face is streaked with grime---with tears having carved little clean paths through it.
She slings the gun across her back and hugs him tightly.
Hi Chris.

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 09:39 PM

Hi Chris.

Chris is hugged tightly. Chris hugs tightly back, kissing her over and over again. "Oh my god I missed you so much, Carrie. *smooch* I'm glad you're safe."

Beans
2010-10-25, 09:42 PM
She sniffles.
I love you.
How're you and Thyna?

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 09:46 PM
She sniffles.
I love you.
How're you and Thyna?

Chris actually is crying a bit.
"I love you too."

"I've been fine. Thyna's been good. We've been waiting for you to come home."

Beans
2010-10-25, 09:47 PM
I've waited too.

... Let's just drop all pretenses and start bawling while we can, okay?

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 09:48 PM
Since Shiro is deadtimed can Thyna be around?

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 09:49 PM
I've waited too.

... Let's just drop all pretenses and start bawling while we can, okay?

Chris strokes her hair, and proceeds with the bawling into her shoulder.

Beans
2010-10-25, 09:49 PM
She is around indeed, still with her mom's guitar.
---
Carrie bawls too.

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 09:51 PM
Carrie bawls too.

Boss stands, resolute.

Chris keeps bawling for a while, before breaking the hug and kissing her passionately.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 09:51 PM
She might notice someone approaching her. Two someones, actually. One;s about 5'7", the other is about 4'11, and has big rabbit like ears.

Beans
2010-10-25, 09:52 PM
Carrie kisses.
I need a shower. Let's continue there.
---
Thyna blinkablinks.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 09:55 PM
They get closer, Thyna might notice rainbow on purple hair, blue eyes... it's Amanda! About twenty four now.
She's holding hte hand of a young Anul with one hand. The young anul is about 4'11. She has a tennis ball sized bruise on her eye.

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 09:57 PM
Carrie kisses.
I need a shower. Let's continue there.

Chris smiles. "I've been waiting for years for this." Chris then holds her hand and starts leading her inside. "Boss, tell everybody to start up the festivities. Send everybody a note that Carrie's back, and to gather here at the estate. We're going to have a festivel!" Boss gives a bow. "Yes Master. Oh, and Madam Carrie...Welcome home."

Beans
2010-10-25, 09:57 PM
Thyna floatyruns over.
AMANDA!
---
Carrie smiles.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 09:58 PM
H-hello Thyna...
She opens her arms for a hug, but her voice is shaky.

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 10:00 PM
Carrie smiles.

Chris soon leads her through the estate. Up flights of stairs underneath beautiful chandeliers, jade lions flanking them. After a while, they arrive to the beautiful master suite. "Here we are."

Beans
2010-10-25, 10:01 PM
Hey... hey, what's wrong? Hug!
She looks concerned and winces at the bruise.
---
Carrie is amazed beyond words.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 10:02 PM
I'm f-fine...
Thyna, this is my daughter, Andrea...
Andrea smiles.
Hello auntie...

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 10:04 PM
Carrie is amazed beyond words.

Chris smiles as he looks at her. "I guess you can tell I've been busy while you were away."

Beans
2010-10-25, 10:05 PM
Thyna's eye twitches like Carrie's would.
She looks really concerned, but smiles warmly at Andrea.
Hi there. It's so nice to meet you.
---
Dude... what the... I mean...
... Shower first, then I can be amazed and clean.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 10:07 PM
it's nice to meet you too...
We're gonna be back for a while...

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 10:10 PM
Dude... what the... I mean...
... Shower first, then I can be amazed and clean.

Chris smiles. "Alright. I'll lead you to the bathroom." Chris leads her there. Of course, like everything, the bathroom is exquisite. More like a spa, really. "I, tend to only use the shower, but feel free to use whatever you want."

Beans
2010-10-25, 10:11 PM
Thyna looks at Amanda, still smiling.
Her eyes ask "Is the reason what I think it is?"
Great...
Andrea, have you ever heard of Pesty?
---
Carrie's clothes are off in moments.
C'mon, it's shower time for, like, a week.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 10:13 PM
Amanda nods,a look of sadness on her face.
No...
who's Pesty...?

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 10:13 PM
Carrie's clothes are off in moments.
C'mon, it's shower time for, like, a week.

Chris gives a seductive smirk. "Why Mrs. Grimm, are you trying to seduce me?" Chris starts to take off his clothes as well.

Beans
2010-10-25, 10:16 PM
Amanda nods,a look of sadness on her face.
No...
who's Pesty...?
She does art and music and she's my aunt. I'd love to introduce her to you some time...
She tries to hug them both.
---
Yes.
Seeing as I haven't gotten any---and no, duplicates of me don't count as getting any---for years, let's skip the opening credits and get straight to the feature.
Into le shower!

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 10:17 PM
Okay.
she nods.
The hug back!

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 10:19 PM
Yes.
Seeing as I haven't gotten any---and no, duplicates of me don't count as getting any---for years, let's skip the opening credits and get straight to the feature.
Into le shower!

"Yes ma'am." Chris is dragged into the shower, and they do stuff like they've never done before. No, not even then.


[Meanwhile]

Boss runs around with notes for the party, trying to find everybody and give them the notes, or at least find a way to get the notes to them.

Beans
2010-10-25, 10:20 PM
Thyna hugs tightly, whispering to Amanda.
Mom will come back and make it all okay.
---
Yes, shower and fun and whoo!

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 10:21 PM
O-okay... How about Genkai? Or dad?

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 10:24 PM
Yes, shower and fun and whoo!

After a while, the shower (and everything else) is done. Chris tries to slip a soft, fluffy bathrobe onto Carrie after they're all dried.

Beans
2010-10-25, 10:24 PM
Gen...
Gen is... troubled... but Dad's got us covered. He's carved out a nice place for the family.

I'm so so sorry, Amanda.
---
Carrie giggles lightheadedly.

Dedtiem soon.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 10:25 PM
It;s okay... I'll go visit dad later...

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 10:26 PM
Carrie giggles lightheadedly.

Dedtiem soon.

Chris kisses her on the cheek, before hugging her. "I'm glad you're home, baby. How do you like the place?"

Beans
2010-10-25, 10:28 PM
It;s okay... I'll go visit dad later...
Okay...
Have you been getting Mom's letters?
---
... Awesome.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 10:30 PM
some of them...
We moved around a lot so I'm sure I missed a lot...

Beans
2010-10-25, 10:33 PM
Okay...
If you didn't get the latest one, she says they're rooting out Vocusta and she hopes to be home soon.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 10:35 PM
That;s good, I'm glad to hear things are almost over...

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 10:35 PM
... Awesome.

Chris smiles. "That's good."


[Elsewhere]

Boss can arrive to Amanda if you guys wish.

Beans
2010-10-25, 10:37 PM
Carrie smiles.
---
Thyna nods.
She waves to Boss.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 10:38 PM
Amanda waves to Boss.
Hi Boss.

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 10:42 PM
Carrie smiles.
---
Thyna nods.
She waves to Boss.

Chris hugs her tightly.


[Elsewhere]

Boss gives a short bow to Thyna. "Madam Thyna. It's good to see you." He then turns to Amanda. "Madam Amanda. It is good to see you in good health." He then notices Andrea. "Who is this?"

Beans
2010-10-25, 10:43 PM
Andrea. Her daughter, my niece. She smiles.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 10:45 PM
This is my daughter, boss.
Hello, sir...

Beans
2010-10-25, 10:52 PM
Bleh. Dedtiem.

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 10:56 PM
Boss gives a small smile to Andrea. "Hello. A pleasure to meet you." He then looks back to Amanda. "If I may inquire, how are you and Mister Jacob doing?"

Can you take me to dad...?

Can you take me to dad...?

"Actually, your father sent me to deliver a message. Your mother has returned to the estate, and Master is sending invitations to everyone to the estate for a feast."

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 11:01 PM
Okay, let's go.

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 11:05 PM
Okay, let's go.

Boss bows slightly before leading the way to the estate. "You'll be pleased to know, Mrs. Amanda, that the android you and your father had built is still in operation."

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 11:10 PM
Okay.
She tales Andres hand and follows.

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 11:13 PM
Okay.
She tales Andres hand and follows.

Soon, they arrive at the lavish estate. It's pretty much what you would expect. Lots and lots of lavishness, but not so much that it just browbeats you.

Soon, Boss leads the pair into the living room, where Chris is sitting down, wearing a bathrobe. He then notices the duo, and gets up with a smile and arms wide. "Amanda!"

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 11:16 PM
H-hi daddy...
She runs to hug him. He'll notice her black eye...

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 11:20 PM
H-hi daddy...
She runs to hug him. He'll notice her black eye...

Chris hugs her tightly. "I missed you, sweetheart." He gives her a kiss on the forehead. He then winces at the black eye. "You haven't been doing any method acting lately, have you?" Chris quips.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 11:21 PM
No... Y-you're a grandpa, daddy...
Andrea... Say hi.

Hi grandpa!

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 11:23 PM
No... Y-you're a grandpa, daddy...
Andrea... Say hi.

Hi grandpa!

Chris looks at Andrea with a smile. He crouches down to her level (don't worry, he's wearing pants). "Hi there, Andrea."

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 11:26 PM
Its once to meet you. I'm five.
Yet she is almost five feet tall.

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 11:28 PM
Its once to meet you. I'm five.
Yet she is almost five feet tall.

Huh. Okay, maybe he doesn't crouch down. "Really? That's great!" Chris gives her a smile, then playfully ruffles her hair a bit. He then holds his arms open. "Can I get a hug?"

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 11:32 PM
She nods and hugs him.

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 11:34 PM
She nods and hugs him.

Chris hugs back. After a bit, he looks at Amanda. "Well, I suppose you two will need a place to crash, eh?"

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 11:39 PM
If it's not too much trouble. It not like I can go home.
She sighs.

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 11:42 PM
If it's not too much trouble. It not like I can go home.
She sighs.

Chris seems curious at this for a second, before giving a smile. "Well, I'll lead you two to a guest room." He offers Amanda an arm for her to take. If she does so, he'll lean in to whisper something. "We'll talk about this." He will give her a peck on the cheek, then lead her to a guest room.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 11:46 PM
Amanda nod and they follow him.

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 11:51 PM
Amanda nod and they follow him.

Eventually, he'll lead them to a very nice guest room. "Well, here we are. I kinda ripped the design off from a fancy hotel, but hey, it looks good, right?" He then turns to walk out. "Well, I'll let you guys get settled in. I'll be in the dining room if you need me for anything."

Chris then makes a stop at his suite for a change of clothes. Strangely, he comes out wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans. Less tattered than his younger days, but they're still a bit frayed here and there. So, he moves on down to the dining room with an orange soda and waits.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 11:53 PM
Amanda nods. After putting Andrea to bed she goes to see him.

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-25, 11:57 PM
Amanda nods. After putting Andrea to bed she goes to see him.

She'll find Chris sitting at the head of a nice, large, rectangular table. On it is a series of drinks, ranging from simple soda to fine wine. He looks at her and smiles. "Hi there." Chris then gets up, and pulls her up a seat next to him.

Quinsar
2010-10-25, 11:59 PM
H-hi daddy.
She sits.

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-26, 12:04 AM
H-hi daddy.
She sits.

Chris smiles at her, and pats her on the shoulder. He then sits back down. "Feel free to help yourself to the beverages."

He pauses for a while, before he looks back at Amanda, looking absolutely serious. "Now, what's the problem?"

Quinsar
2010-10-26, 12:07 AM
She takes a large drink of wine.
It's Jacob...

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-26, 12:08 AM
She takes a large drink of wine.
It's Jacob...

Chris hardens just slightly, before leaning in and placing a hand on hers and squeezing it hopefully reassuringly. "What's wrong with Jacob?"

Quinsar
2010-10-26, 12:15 AM
E-ever since we went to try and make things better with his parent he... He's been so angry. U-usually he'd just yell, o-or he'd kick something or we'd argue, b-but b-he gave me this a-and I left... Now I don't know what to do.
She motions to her eye and tears begin to stream down her face.

Chris looks off, mentally cursing Jacob, before getting up and hugging Amanda, wiping the tears from her eyes. "You and Andrea can stay here. You know we'll be here for you, so you'll be safe."

Quinsar
2010-10-26, 12:23 AM
B-but Andrea loves himso much. What do I tell her?...

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-26, 12:27 AM
B-but Andrea loves himso much. What do I tell her?...

Chris breaths in deeply. "Just tell her you'll be staying here for a while. I mean, we're going to be throwing a party since Mom's back home, so you can use that as an excuse. You might even tell her that you're here so that she can get to know her grandmother."

Quinsar
2010-10-26, 12:30 AM
Amanda nods.
Okay daddy... I'm sorry I didn't write...

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-26, 12:33 AM
Chris taps her on the nose affectionately. "Don't be. I'm just glad to see you again, and to see that you're doing well for the most part."

Quinsar
2010-10-26, 12:36 AM
She nods.
She's rally skinny. Unhealthily skinny.

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-26, 12:38 AM
Chris looks at her, up and down. "I don't mean to be offensive or anything, but you look like you haven't eaten a good meal in ages. Come on, let's head to the kitchen and cook you up something."

Quinsar
2010-10-26, 12:41 AM
I don't eat much... It my own fault.
But deadtime.

InyutheBeatIs
2010-10-26, 12:45 AM
"Oh...well, I won't be having any of that in my house." Chris chuckles. "I'll have the maid whip something up for you." Chris then stands up and heads to the kitchen, laying his hand on Amanda's shoulder reassuringly.

weeee! HALO timeskip is back! the origin of CarrieXDin^^

Summer is now all grown up...and divorced from Yersil for reasons unknown. still shy, she hasn't been seeing anyone else. she is currently working on her philosophy degree

aemi has replaced her obsession with Din (her mum was totally Din from an alternate future) with the obsession with the wild. she spend days on end trekking though forests, and the wild, and goes to look for stone circles, and henges and other duridic artefacts. she studied archeology in the inside university under doctor Jones himself

Din has been resurrected for some reason...maybe someone missed her...but she has no memory of anything before her death. she's still coming to grips with a world she doesn't remember

all three are arround

Chris built an estate while Carrie had gone off to war with Vocusta the Many. Recently, Carrie came back from the war, so Chris is throwing a party to celebrate. Boss, who along with other two dogs has gained the ability of were-dogs essentially, is running around trying to get the invites out to everybody.

Boss soon arrives at HALO thanks to a portal connecting HALO to the Grimm Estate. He eventually finds Aemi, and bows to her slightly. "Miss Aemilia, I am glad to have found you."

If you want to.


Gen just mumbles gibberish. She has been doing very poorly with all her children and Carrie being away. Especially since Carrie has a happy family now, but ever since she divorced Carrie, Gen has just had a broken family where she barely even speaks to her daughter or her son.

Carrie hugs Thyna tightly.

She still loves her and wants her to be happy, poor thing.

Their son, Mikchael will hug back. he's not the haappiest kid, get's angry very easily. But he loves his new parents.

[HALO]

Boss finds Grant, and greets him with a slight bow. "Good day, Mister Grant."

Hello, Boss.

I don't think so, no.

"Master wanted me to give you and Mrs. Pesty an invitation to the Estate for a party. Mrs. Carrie has returned."


Also, due to delay by my stupidity...

"Well then, my fair lady, off we go!" Chris scoops Andrea up and leads her on a tour of the place.
