*she looks at her blood stained hands. she recalls that night in a low voice, strained with emotion*
he was standing behind bar, beside the statue, examining it. We were discussing what to do, how to stop the Titans and the thieves, and then I looked at him, and he looked at me, winked and... disappeared in a cloud of dust. *her voice his thick with emotion* We don't know where, or why, or how...

OOC: Didn't read it. I'm utterly exhausted, though. This has been a really rough week for me. Must...sleep...I'll post about the rp tomorrow. Promise.

He's still around, Bits. I can feel him. But not enough of him to locate...

*Stalks off towards the back rooms, and the training environment she had created for herself*

[Whispers] I'm not blaming you... it's just that Ju often takes chances that is both dangerous and at times unnecissary.

I don't know. Things have a way of happening in this place. I shouldn't tell you this, but JuNii... mentionned you, when I had need... There was a spell of bad weather. We discovered it was related to the theft of elemental tokens. The subsequent release of their Titans unleashed meteorological chaos. There was one token left. He was examining it. We were discussing how to protect it. I thought we could duplicate its energy signature and lay traps, or atleast confuse the thieves. He was standing behind the bar. I looked up. He winked. Why? Then there was a cloud of dust, and he was gone. Gael told us she could feel him. He was not dead. Please, I don't know anymore * she raises her head, face streaked with tears and eyes reflecting deep loss*

ooc I am so sorry gang, but i am finally sober enough to go to bed *grin*
just leave in the kitchen. night all. see you late tomorrow.

*she nods, looking at her hands again*Dear... it's not your fault... you can only do what you can, with what you have. as long as you make an honest attempt, no one can blame you. [her voice goes quite... almost as if she was speaking more to herself than to Celeste] even those who's lives are lost because of your actions.

*she smiles at celeste... then exits the kitchen... going into the club proper.*

How can I do less. :(

If Ju is giving his all to protect it...

He probably is giving his all to protect it ;)

And besides, lose that last token, and the planet is no more.

*sighs, looks back out the window*

Starts singing to herself...

Here I sit on the head of Mount Tam.
Might as well be in Vietnam.
The battle is coming soon.
The stars are hid, but the sky is gray
With the lights of the cities that ring the Bay
In the shape of a crescent moon. So --

CHORUS: If there be anything here
That cometh not in the name of the Powers of Light,
Then in the name of the Powers of Light, let it be gone!

Cities live. The stones have soul
As long as one dweller stands up whole,
And here are three million lives.
Their spirit runs through the nerves of wire,
Through the concrete bones and the furnace-fire.
The body of stone survives. So --

(Chorus)

Warnings groan that the deep plate-crack
Will shake one burden from Earth's green back.
Tonight one of us goes down.
So here we fight with our wizards' force
To shift the fault in its other course --
And swallow the Southern Crown! So --

(Chorus)

We who feel the currents of power
Have no rest in the darkening hour
Of a war that we did not choose.
But if some city must fall to brine,
I swear that city shall not be mine.
I do not intend to lose! So --

(Chorus)

So aim the bolt, and raise the shield.
The choice is cruel, but we dare not yield
When life is the prize of war.
San Andreas, we curse your name
As we strike your fault with our silent flame
And deflect, and deflect once more! Sing!

(Chorus)


*and with the spell complete... she scans the area for any power signatures... ignoring Gene and those upstairs, she is surpised at the level readings from Celeste... then her eyes alight on the statue...*

hmmmm.... good choice... little gaudy for my taste...

*concentrates... filtering out the artificial power source... her eyes widen...*

dear God... what happened to you Ju!

*goes to the guitar sitting at the stage.*

sorry, bored right now... besides, this storm puts me in a right proper mood.


A harsh window hammered and bent down the trees
till they moaned and they wailed in the dark
A wind cold and better, as wise or as death,
as crewel as the jaws of the shark
So high ran the river, so heavy and wild,
the waves were as strong as the sea
A fool could have told it was no night to be
out earning a ferryman's fee

(chorus)
Ferryman, ferryman, won't you be kind-
My mother and father are waiting for me
Ferryman, ferryman, take me across-
Though I haven't the price of your fee.

She stood there alone on the cold heaving dock
She was pale and she trembled with fear
Her hands were clenched white as the moon on her breast
As she waited his answer to hear
"Although it's no night to be crossing" he said
For their sake, I'll take you aboard
They must be near dying with worry for you,
And one fare I'll easily afford"

Chorus

They ferry fought hard, it bucked, yawed and rolled
with the waves surging over the bow
Grimmly the old pilot clung to the tiller
And steered the craft over somehow
The windlashed young maiden stood near to the rail
Her eyes fixed upon the far side
She seemed not to notice the wind or the waves
that threatened to finish her ride

Chorus

By fate or by whim of old blind lady-luck
He brought them in safely to shore
The young girl turned round and she took off her shawl
saying, "I haven't anything more-
But I'll bring you your money, tomorrow, I swear"
"Tomorrow at first morning light"
"Until then keep this as a trust of my pledge"
And she disappeared into the night

Chorus

"I hear that the ghost has been walking again"
the passenger said with a yawn
"Oh, yessir it has" said the pilot who took
the old ferry's tiller at dawn
The annual storm that sank this ferry's twin
came down just the same time last year
And now any night that a high wind comes up
That spirit is like to appear"

Chorus

"A ghost on the ferry?" his second fare asked
a young girl who paled with fright
"Oh yes, miss and that's why we can't hire a pilot
who'll dare take the ferry at night
Elevin poor souls there were lost on that night
And it seems that there's one who can't rest
Some duty of conciounce still binds him to work
Some promised or sin unconfessed"

Chorus

"They're burried up there on the river's far shore
You can see all the graves plain from here
The pilot's the last one-" he cut off his words
As the young maiden cried out in fear
They stared where she pointed, her pale trembling hand
And there on the shore they could see
Her shawl lay folded on the old pilot's grave
Her pledge for the ferryman's fee

Chorus

:)

'Woa woa, slow down, you'v created Alladin's cave of wonders for chockaholics you do know that don't you?' He smiled and looked down at the pile. With great care he picked out one and chewed on it
'That'll do for me'

Going commando under a kilt is, in certain weather liberating, in other overrated :p But I'v never tossed a caber, well, at least not the regulation size..... An interesting thought, IS there a regulation size?

That all depends if you're the one wearing or the one looking...

OOC: Sorry about the nothingness, I would have left a message saying I was going to go eat, but good old Jolt was being slow :rolleyes:

A regulation size for the caber? or...... ;)

A regulation size for the caber? or...... ;)

*hurridly* The caber, definitly the caber :p

OOC: anyone still here?

OOC
Not sure about still here...but I am here now!

ooc in the kitchen doing, what else, pouting because no one wants my cookies...

*Goes into kitchen, hugs Celeste, and helps herself to one or two cookies.*

Mmmm.....didn't know you were baking, otherwise I'd have come in here before this!

I have just about every version of a cookie with chocolate in it.

*hears someone enter the roo. He crawls out from behind the library bookshelf, to examine the cuts on RA*

Those are some pretty nasty gashes on his stomach. It looks like he has been taken care of, that's good. Somebody will be here later to check on him.

*climbs the ladder to the second floor, so to watch RA from above*

???
Ignored?

Certainly seems so...

Prior to my exit: :rolleyes: backatcha....

*she goes to Hype and huggles her*
I'll have one of those cookies, if you have one of mine. And tea. I think that would be quite lovely.

*she goes to the stove and prepares a full pot of tea, humming*

*Wakes up from a deep sleep on the couch...first sleep in months, that was indoors.
The two are still sitting close.
She hears voices coming from some way off, and sits up listening.*

Awwww...... :fluffle:

Thanks Orchid.... :)

ooc only two women in my life... ;)

*she goes to the stove and prepares a full pot of tea, humming*

*teleports in*

Greetings, all!

*heads for the bar*

*you hear a familiar voice from the kitchen*
Gene, we're in here. I have a surprise for you.

*The two pad softly through the door, leaving Mary alone with strangers in the next room.
She wonders whether or not to go and see what is happening in the other room, but decides against it.
Tink said that there was a club, so Mary was curious as to where the food may be kept, even though she had no money.*

*you hear a familiar voice from the kitchen*
Gene, we're in here. I have a surprise for you.
Oh? What kind of surprise?

*heads into the kitchen*

Welcome....anything for a sister who's having a bad time.... ;)

*upon hearing that, she glances at Orchid and winks, remembering her kindness in her own time of need.*

Oh? What kind of surprise?

COOKIES! And not just any kind but every kind of cookie with chocolate in it imaginable!

*Winks back to Celeste.*

Hello Gene......

I know that Gene has a dislike for me....because of things long since passed over...

I'll just.... go out to..... the bar...yes...the bar!

Any one want a drink pouring?

Wow! That sounds sooo good!

*smirks*
Yeah, well the only problem is there's too much. Look at this mountain of cookies. Who's going to eat them all.

*her eyes suddenly brighten*
Gene, you chug 3 gallons of chocolate milk. Think you can... *points at the table full of cookies*

*Winks back to Celeste.*

Hello Gene......

OOC: I forgot what made gene dislike your character. What happened?

Divine Kiss please!
Sure thing...how does that go again?

*she approaches the table with her tea tray, realizes there is no room, looks arond the room, and set the tray on the counter top closest to the door.
Help yourself.
*she pours one cup*

OOC: I forgot what made gene dislike your character. What happened?
OOC
It was to do with Sparklemist....etc.......little dog.....water.....

*smirks*
Yeah, well the only problem is there's too much. Look at this mountain of cookies. Who's going to eat them all.

*her eyes suddenly brighten*
Gene, you chug 3 gallons of chocolate milk. Think you can... *points at the table full of cookies*
Okay, but it'll take me much longer to consume because they're solids, not liquids.

*starts eating*

Sure thing...how does that go again?

Kalhua, Bailey's, creme de cacao and three drops from the amber elixir bottle. shake with ice and serve.

Okay, but it'll take me much longer to consume because they're solids, not liquids.

*starts eating*

LOL don't need to finish them all now... maybe later?

OOC
It was to do with Sparklemist....etc.......little dog.....water.....
OOC: oh. yeah. orchid kicked the dog. now I remember. thanks :)

LOL don't need to finish them all now... maybe later?
Heh. Yeah, later.

*finishes his 8th cookie. a glass of chocolate milk appears in his hand*

*chug*

*wipes his mouth with a napkin*

*Mixes all the ingredients, and takes small sip from glass, before taking the kiss through to Celeste.*

Mmmm, not bad...but I prefer my rum'n coke....

Goes back through to the bar, and pours her favourite tipple....sitting on a bar stool.*

Do you believe I can't even get a fluffle on the "Pass the Love" thread?

*sighs*

No one wants to be around someone who is down, I guess....

OOC: oh. yeah. orchid kicked the dog. now I remember. thanks :)
OOC
She's not usually unkind to animals...don't know what came over her that day.....

WAIT JUST ONE SECOND!
*EDIT comes back into the kitchen with a smug expression.*

*Sees the other young woman sitting at the bar, and wonders if she should speak, but decides against it...as the other girl is certainly one of the patronesses of the club.*

OOC
She's not usually unkind to animals...don't know what came over her that day.....

*Takes the two fish and goes into the kitchen.
Takes a knife, and cleans the fish.
Lights the griddle.
Searching around, comes across some salt and garlic, which she rubs into the fish.
Placing the fish on the griddle, Mary finds three plates.
When the fish are cooked, she cuts one in half, placing two halves on one plate, and the second fish she puts whole onto the third plate.
Goes back out to the bar carrying the three plates, two of which she puts down for the cougars.
The whole fish,she eats herself, with much gusto.*

bye all!!
im off

bye all!!
im off
bye!

*The ground trembles once more, rattling the glasses on their shelves. He stood near the fireplace with a grim expression. Watching him, one couldn't be sure how long he'd been standing there...*

Hi there. the name is Celeste.

Hello,Sorry,I didn't mean to disturb you....I am Mary!
*Helps to grab some of the cookies...banging heads with the other girl..*

Hello,Sorry,I didn't mean to disturb you....I am Mary!

You're not disturbing me at all. Nice to meet you. Most of the cookies are ruined *a look of frustation crosses her face* but help yourself to what is left.

*she goes to the common room door, rubbing her head*
Gene, can you help me please?

*With an elegant stride, he crosses to the bar, examining the statue once more. For him, it seemed to pulse with life and power dancing just beneath the surface.. Long fingers grasped the edge of his overcoat, carefully pushing the ends aside. As the tremors subsided, he glanced to Celeste and her new friend.*

Goes back out to the couch where she slept before...*

Who is that?

A friend of Nekone's... you don't remember?

Long fingers grasped the edge of his overcoat, carefully pushing the ends aside. As the tremors subsided, he glanced to Celeste and her new friend.*
*Looking at this confident newcomer..she recognises a factor in him that matched James, and slunk back into the shadows.*

*The two cougars slink back to Mary, utilising the tables and seats, so as not to be seen!*

*He sensed something akin to fear or distrust from the young one near the couch. With a smile, he set that aside for the moment to focus on Celeste. Mary, however, would feel a cold breath of air on the back of her neck..*

*Mary, feeling a senstion of cold breath on her neck, remembers another time, another place...
Meanwhile , the two make a growling noise, deep within their guts.*

[more testing?] :)
Nekone stood at the base of the stairs... looking at the scene before him.

A friend of Nekone's... you don't remember?

Ah yes... her hand goes to her throat.
Why are you hear

*The two, remembering the large Man-panther from the night befor, go an rub their heads around Nekones legs.

Ah yes... her hand goes to her throat.

I have information, my dear.

IC:* Ears swivel forwards... *

Go on...
Our dear friend, Vaga. He's the cause of this all. Think of it...the storms started while he was away, they got worse every time he left...he's gone for extended periods of time, and leaves only cryptic and nondescript clues.

*Mary and the two, having finished eating, and not knowing the facts, take the easy way out.
They go upstairs and into one of the attic rooms.
Not knowing if she can pay, but also knowing that the Fourth Seal is nearby, Mary decides that she will stay for a few more nights.
She settles into a small bed with the two keeping watch at the doorway.*
