Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 12:01:30 AM)
She sits back down in her chair, almost glad for the distraction from talk about IVs, but sad that the mood had gone tense.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 12:02:11 AM)
Word choice is an important aspect of learning who and what you are in this world. *She tilted her head towards him, watching him, her own startling blues peering into his own* Sit, and enjoy. I will be back in a few. *She picked up her own glass, and walked towards the water.*
Isabella Perez (Nov 4, 2011 12:02:21 AM)
She reaches over and lays a calming hand on Julia's leg, smiling softly at her before turning her attention to Darren. "It was easier to drown my anger than give in to it. I just found out that a servent of mine was incredibly foolish and got himself killed."
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 12:03:23 AM)
She stands up quickly to follow her to the water with concern.
Isabella Perez (Nov 4, 2011 12:03:29 AM)
Standing, she kicks her sandals off and smiles at Robin and Darren. "Please, enjoy yourselves. I need to stretch my legs for a moment." With a bright smile at the two of them, she turns and heads out after Julia, bare feet crunching in the sand.
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 12:04:55 AM)
Darren still seemed somewhat mystified, but nodded mutely toward Julia. Isabella's words brought his attention around to her... but then suddenly, he found himself abandoned. After a few seconds of processing, he laid hands on a glass and poured whatever was available, leaning back with a deep sigh to drink. Rather than looking out over the water, he cast his eyes toward the night sky as he sipped.
Isabella Perez (Nov 4, 2011 12:05:44 AM)
Catching up to Robin, she shook her head. "Let me handle this. Go back and hang out with Darren so he doesn't feel so alone, please?"
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 12:05:45 AM)
((Oh, there is a HUGE selection of alcohols, name brands, like jack, crown, jose, 180 proof vodka smirnoff))
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 12:06:06 AM)
She stops and nods slowly, walking back to the porch.
Isabella Perez (Nov 4, 2011 12:07:13 AM)
Striding over, she approaches Julia and the water's edge, not caring if her pants got wet. Standing next to the halaku, she sighs softly. "Pretty night."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 12:07:44 AM)
*She looked at the water, her own pants wet, as she then looked to her fellow Halaku* Yep. *She sipped from her cup, looked at it, and then sighed*
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 12:08:23 AM)
"I am quite content being alone," he explained to Robin upon her return, without looking to her. The heavens seemed to have caught her attention. Given the wide selection, he relied on the tastes of his host, and would find himself sipping at tequila. "But I do not mind company either." He managed to form a slight smile as he looked up at the woman, forced to crane his neck a bit.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 12:09:18 AM)
"I'll help you out by sitting." She sits down in a chair, letting it creak. "What's troubling you tonight guy?"
Isabella Perez (Nov 4, 2011 12:10:14 AM)
"You wanna talk about it?" She slipped her hands into her pockets, digging her toes into the wet sand and surf purling around her feet.
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 12:10:22 AM)
His brow knit. "Do I appear particularly troubled to you?" He didn't seem offended- more curious than anything, as he took a long sip.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 12:11:13 AM)
At this point in time? No. *She said in her soft, yet matter of fact tone. Marishikagel's vocal tendancies were taking precedence.*
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 12:11:51 AM)
"No, just thought it was all swagger." She picked up her cup from beside her glass, laughing a little, "Sorry."
Isabella Perez (Nov 4, 2011 12:12:58 AM)
Stepping closer to the halaku, she slips her arm companionly around the other woman's waist, leaning into her side a little. "If you need to vent, I'm always willing to listen. I may not understand, but I can at least listen."
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 12:13:31 AM)
For a few seconds, it seemed he was going to ask something, then shook his head. "I am no more troubled than usual. I did not mean to upset Julia, but... I am used to my social failings, by now." A light shrug.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 12:15:12 AM)
"Social failing are okay, I just don't like swagger." She grins at him, ad takes a small drink.
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 12:17:28 AM)
"I do not believe I have ever swaggered," he said after several seconds of thought. "At least, not that I recall, anyway." His lips pressed together before he took another sip. "Alcohol usually makes me better at interaction. It should kick in, as they say, soon."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 12:19:06 AM)
*She shrugged* I will just go and relax again. I am sorry.
Isabella Perez (Nov 4, 2011 12:19:29 AM)
She hugs Julia tight. "You are welcome to stay the night, if you want. If you change your mind."
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 12:20:11 AM)
"Drink up, friend." She says with a smile, taking a sip of her own.
Isabella Perez (Nov 4, 2011 12:20:25 AM)
((Guys, Bella's gonna hang out at the beach, watching the waves for a while longer... mainly bc TPO is about to collapse from sheer exhaustion... i've been going for over 18 hrs solid... you're more than welcome to stay and hang out here... i'll catch ya'll later, ok?))
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 12:20:45 AM)
((Sleep well!))
Isabella Perez (Nov 4, 2011 12:21:10 AM)
((gonna try, 'night guys))
Isabella Perez (Nov 4, 2011 12:21:11 AM)

Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 12:23:30 AM)
*She meandered over, her glass empty now after patting Bella on the shoulder, and looked to Robin and Darren, nodding to them before grabbing a the bottle of Crown, and the bottle of coke, and filling her glass up all the way this time. She then flopped down in a chair, leaning back. For Darren, she was in a white bra, the gunshot scar on her chest quite visible*
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 12:24:02 AM)
"That is the plan." A slight smile, more relaxed and natural than the others he'd managed thus far. "I am new to the city. I met Isabella and Julia investigating an outbreak of disease." He glanced Julia's way, smiling tersely.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 12:24:41 AM)
"They are good peeps." She agrees with another nod in that direction.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 12:25:39 AM)
*She nodded to the two, but was quiet. She wasn't as agitated, visibly, but she was now still quiet, listening now instead.*
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 12:26:43 AM)
"I got fairly inebriated last night, with Moses," he offered into the silence- fairly awkward, but, the boy was trying. "He taught me how to pick up women."
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 12:27:13 AM)
"Successfully? Or does he just to command them to fight for him?" She giggles.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 12:27:37 AM)
Moses isn't the best person to get that advice from. He did walk around with his penis hanging out. *She said with a grin, one that was creepy, but in that normal creepy way, not the grrr angry creepy she had before*
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 12:29:53 AM)
"He imparted... I suppose you would call it a trick? It worked quite well when I tested it." His brow furrowed slightly as he regarded Julia. "He did? Ah. At the party that was discussed." He was thoughtful for a few seconds, sipping. "I don't believe I will emmulate that particular behavior."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 12:30:48 AM)
That will win you far more ladies. I would also recommend that, when you ask questions, make it something corny, and with a smile. Like... "How is it you are so beautiful?"
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 12:31:34 AM)
"Oh, that's terrible!" She laughs, "Nothing like that is good."
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 12:32:03 AM)
"It was a purely academic exercise," he mused, leaning to snag the bottle of Cuervo for a refill. "I doubt I will have cause to... hit on?... Yes. Hit on a woman, again."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 12:32:45 AM)
Do you have any mortal Vassals Darren? *She asked quizzically, as she looked to Robin, and smiled softly*
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 12:33:23 AM)
He nodded. "Yes. Nessa, though I acquired her largely by chance."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 12:34:22 AM)
In time, you may need more than her, and you will need a method of... attracting another. I have heard that seduction works well in building trust, and then bam, you have a follower, a worshipper, or whatever people enjoy to call them here.
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 12:36:22 AM)
"If that is the case, it would likely be a male thrall I attempted to entice- then I could at least use Darren's attraction to fuel the attempt." He took a deep swallow. "I would likely not have a difficult time co-opting someone if I set my mind to it, regardless."
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 12:36:43 AM)
She nods and smiles, "So you're like that. Makes sense."
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 12:38:33 AM)
"-I- am... I'm not sure. Asexual, likely. I have no interest, though I must contend with certain biological responses." His cheeks were tinged just slightly crimson at the turn in conversation, and he took his strongest swallow of the tequila thus far.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 12:40:19 AM)
"Guys and guys making out is hot, so I'm okay with this." She is thinking about it. "I'm kind of torn though. Which memory is saying this?"
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 12:42:29 AM)
Darren blinked, and then shook his head. "I am glad to hear you approve." Another slim smile offered, before he stared thoughtfully into his glass a bit.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 12:44:44 AM)
Julia has done both. She prefer females, mostly because of the final night. But I believe she also is drawing from my history. *She looked upwards* It is an interesting concept.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 12:45:17 AM)
preferred*
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 12:45:52 AM)
"Darren is my only basis... I spent most of my existence quite detached from humanity." He shrugged. "The concept of romance eludes me. I accept this."
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 12:47:18 AM)
She raises a hand, "Titans didn't have much contact with humans either, so romance IS weird. I don't know what to do with it."
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 12:48:51 AM)
"I avoid it at all costs," he confided. The more he drank, the more his posture seemed to become less rigid- he was getting a bit slouchy.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 12:50:55 AM)
Go with the flow. Romance is something that we aren't used to, but it happens, even amongst our own kind. *She shuffled her feet, and looked at her alcohol, sipping again at it.*
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 12:53:44 AM)
"I don't know if I like it yet. What's its purpose, right?"
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 12:54:32 AM)
"It happened during the war as well," he murmured absently. "I suppose some are more used to it to others... or perhaps started emulating mankind early." A shrug. "As I said, I tend not to judge others, and if I stumble into what would likely be a very strange romance, I... I don't know. I am ill-equipped to even imagine." He grinned to Robin, nodding her way. "Exactly. Beyond procreation, obviously, which is not always on the table, so to speak."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 12:55:54 AM)
*She sighed deeply, and just shook her head.* What did you do during the War Darren, Robin? Did you see death, or cause death, in such numbers, that villages crumbled to dust with your assistance? Romance came before the War, before humanity existed.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 12:56:10 AM)
"Even back then we couldn't do anything like that, but I heard the people down north had -hives-." She laughs quietly, "Weird stuff, but Julia's right. Demons were close too." She thinks about it, "I wasn't in the war."
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 12:57:46 AM)
"My memories are... not as distinct as most Elohim's," he slowly said. "I know that I was often alone, though occasionally, participated in group operations. Like the assault on the general I referred to the other night," a nod to Julia. "I do not imagine I caused much death, though. I have very little talent for it."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 1:00:23 AM)
You saw what I can do, in this shell. Imagine my power then. I found devourer, who was tired of all the darkness as well, and we helped one another become less obsessive, and full of light, helping to start the Recycle up. I know how I felt about her then. It is why Julia's essence calls out towards it, because she wishes she could find that feeling. Love, passion, lust, all words that I have seen her use, but it was more. I was connected to her, connected to the one I was with. And she I.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 1:01:11 AM)
She listens to their stories quietly, actually a bit happy.
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 1:03:43 AM)
He considered her words, nodding and sipping. "That... does sound... fulfilling," he conceded. "I suppose I never encountered anything like that because my function was almost always solitary... but, my function now appears to be very solitary as well. Perhaps if I encounter someone who wishes to find the Morningstar as deeply as I do..." His brow furrowed, and he looked a bit surprised- perhaps at the fact he had admitted something so personal? He was so stunned that he simply stopped speaking.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 1:10:46 AM)
The quest for what you want, is not what you should seek inside someone. It should just... feel right. It is hard to explain. She was completely the opposite of me, and because of her insanity, like my own, we were outcasts together for awhile, and then we helped one another ease the suffering, and soon, we were working together. A devourer based around life, and myself... death and decay.
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 1:13:45 AM)
"By that logic, I would likely fall for one of the Fifth House," he mumbled into his glass, before and after draining some of it away. Something occured to him, and he regarded Julia curiously. "Have you looked for her?"
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 1:13:52 AM)
She thought about their words.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 1:15:24 AM)
That is why I am here in New Orleans. I looked throughout Tennessee, and got not feel. I hope that I can sense her, feel her, if she returns, or at least, find out if she had returned and had already been destroyed, or returned to the abyss.
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 1:16:54 AM)
He nodded slowly. "I hope you do find her," he said, voice soft.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 1:17:47 AM)
She nods to that, and the mood is nice.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 1:21:27 AM)
*She sipped at her drink* Sorry, I have probably weirded you both out. *She looked at the dark liquid*
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 1:21:59 AM)
She sips from her drink, still the first one, really. And looks at Julia with a smile. "It was nice."
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 1:22:06 AM)
"Not at all," he responded. "It... is a perspective that I lack."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 1:25:14 AM)
*She shuffled her feet* I have given up hope I will find her, and as one who seeks to experience the world, seek out the knowledge within it, I am now seeking to find... companions.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 1:28:08 AM)
She smiles wider at that. "Good goal. I like it."
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 1:28:55 AM)
Darren frowned slightly. "I seek Lucifer. From the moment I slipped through the cracks of the Pit, I have sought him even though he was not there, even though he may no longer be in Creation. I have -not- given up hope, and you should not either." For the first time they would have heard it, his voice resonated with conviction. His voice softened. "You needn't let it consume you, like I do... but do not give up hope."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 1:30:07 AM)
I am a creature embodied in death, decay, and the Cycle. Hope, sometimes is a tool I can give to others, but cannot use on my own. *She looked to Robin, a weak smile showing on the Slayer's face* Thanks...
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 1:32:32 AM)
Unsure how to reply, Darren simply said nothing and took a long gulp from his glass, finishing it off.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 1:33:09 AM)
"I'm new to the death thing." She says quietly. "I didn't see much of it."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 1:34:45 AM)
When you see me and Isabella so close, it is because we are two sides of the coin that is our House. She helps those who have passed, I am the "killer," the "bringer of Death." I am the scary monster in the dark. *She laughed at herself, and then slumped a bit* Sorry, I am being a downer. I should get going.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 1:35:47 AM)
She smiles at Julia, "I'm curious about death, so I don't mind." She stands up to pour herself another drink. "No rush."
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 1:35:47 AM)
"May I ask you a somewhat obtuse question?" he asked quietly, slowly refilling his glass.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 1:36:40 AM)
Of course. *She said simply, and watched Robin, eyes looking back down to her lap*
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 1:38:10 AM)
"Is Death something to fear?" He finished pouring and sipped, gathering his thoughts to clarify. "Darren welcomed it, and I must admit that I occasionally think it might be easier to... simply not be, so again, I perhaps lack the perspective necessary to appreciate something so inconcrete."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 1:39:47 AM)
Death follows a plan. A timetable. Humans had specific timetables per person. Death, is much like fate, if it is shifted, then bad things can happen. Killing and murdering people tends to causes horrible issues, drawing the soul out and leaving it the other worlds longer, was what I was told. It also causes the cycle of Recycle to start either too early, or too late.
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 1:40:14 AM)
"What about us?" he imparted softly.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 1:40:48 AM)
"We don't die, silly." She says as she sits down again with a fill cup. "That'd be weird.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 1:40:59 AM)
We can be destroyed. *She said it simply*
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 1:42:29 AM)
"Deconstructed." She affirms.
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 1:42:53 AM)
He considered it, and nodded. "I knew as much. I just... thought you might possess some insight I did not."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 1:43:30 AM)
No, not deconstructed, oblivion. *She said it* It would be like saying the world disolves.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 1:43:49 AM)
It doesn't, it shifts, and changes. We do not change, or dissolve. We get eaten, or we get oblivioned.
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 1:45:16 AM)
"I suppose it is good that I somehow retain hope then," he half-joked, with a wan smile.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 1:45:32 AM)
"So you think God isn't around anymore? The threat from Micheal was deconstruction, from what I heard from the guy that told us about that day."
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 1:47:22 AM)
She thinks about it, "Might have been biased..."
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 1:48:22 AM)
"I do not know," he replied simply. "I have seen no evidence that he is."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 1:50:22 AM)
We never were recycled. We never knew the blessed rebirth. Nowadays? I doubt we recycle, when killed proper.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 1:51:29 AM)
"Wouldn't make any sense if we did." She confirms.
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 1:52:15 AM)
"We must do what here are do in the time we have then," he murmured.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 1:52:50 AM)
We do not die according to a Timeplan though. Only things with mortality did, which was everything not us, or God.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 1:53:18 AM)
"But we change, which is a kind of death." She concedes.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 1:53:38 AM)
Change into what? *She raised a brow*
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 1:53:42 AM)
"Yes, but... we get only one chance, if we are... obliviated. That's all I meant."
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 1:56:26 AM)
"This." She smiles at Julia. Then she nods at Darren, "We're quiet as mice, is what we are, and they we'll be around for a long time, right?"
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 1:57:40 AM)
"Perhaps." A thoughtful shrug. "Perhaps not. I am not as attuned to Fate as many of my House were or are. I do not pretend to know what will be."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:00:28 AM)
*She motioned to them* This is punishment for escaping prison. *She laughed* I have not felt myself age, other than when drained of power by that creature. I have yet to feel the true need to sleep, but I do out of habit, and because it seems parts of this body require it for perceptive purposes. We are not mortal, yet we are.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:01:10 AM)
"Unless we transform." She says quietly.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:01:52 AM)
If we transform, we can still die. We can be eaten, or we can be pulled back to the Abyss, or we can, I have heard, if lucky, retake a body.
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 2:02:58 AM)
"You see this as a punishment?" He arched an eyebrow at Julia.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:03:27 AM)
"Neat, but I'm happy with this one." She comments and smiles at Julia.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:03:33 AM)
Compared to what I was before the fall? *she looked at herself* I was far prettier.
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 2:05:19 AM)
"Compared to the Pit, I mean. That was an obvious punishment. This..." He gestured expansively to include the three of them. "This seems like... an oversight. As I said, I see no evidence of God's presence in Creation, or our former brethren, for that matter. Perhaps in their absence, what held us simply deteriorated."
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:06:28 AM)
"I wasn't." She grins. "But I think this guy is right." She points at Darren.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:09:53 AM)
You realize, God was never truly present in Creation? We dealt death, Devourers dealt life. Malefactors formed the Earth, your kind time, fate, and space... *She frowned* People look to easily upon the Creator as the true Creator, whereas we were the ones who Created, or Destroyed. And I only see in this realm, how many different realms did we naturally participate in, before the Imprisonment? We have not enough information to say anything is completely what it is, minus the things that still guide us, and that we somehow, are still capable of existing in this world, just in a new fashion.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:10:58 AM)
*She raised her drink to them, as if the drink was barely effecting her, or if her conviction for the subject of knowledge outweighed her ability to relax*
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:11:13 AM)
She nods at that, tapping her drink against hers. "Very true."
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 2:11:53 AM)
"It is merely a theory," he murmured.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:12:52 AM)
"True too." She smiles brightly for once.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:20:21 AM)
.
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 2:20:52 AM)
"I think I will take my leave," he said quietly. "Please let Bella know I will be back for my car early tomorrow."

Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:23:07 AM)
"Alright." She says quietly, looking to Julia after Darren spoke.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:23:09 AM)
((Sorry, started ghosting less than 10 minutes after a response...))
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:23:26 AM)
((and the last I saw was Robin going that too, when darren mentioned it was just a theory))
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:24:00 AM)
((Robin agreed with everyone, and then Darren said he has to go.))
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 2:24:18 AM)
He finished his last bit of Cuervo, then stood fluidly and stretched. "Thank you for an interesting evening. I am sure I will see you again soon... possibly tomorrow evening, if I can make it."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:24:53 AM)
Are you safe to get home? *She asked, looking at him with those blue eyes. Nothing but concern in them. Yep, nurse instincts kicking in*
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 2:26:07 AM)
"Mmm. I do not trust myself to drive, and so I will use more reliable means." A nod.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:26:38 AM)
*She nodded* Just don't get hurt. Be safe. *she said with concern in her voice, as she then looked to Robin*
Darren Coleman (Nov 4, 2011 2:28:20 AM)
"I tend to avoid danger quite aptly, the other evening withstanding." He smiled lightly. "Farewell." He returned to the front door, picking up his shoes, then concentrated briefly. Faith would ripple briefly through the air, linking two thresholds as he pulled the door open and stepped through it. When it closed again, he was utterly gone.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:29:24 AM)
"That's a neat trick." She comments from her chair.

Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:29:55 AM)
((have a nice... darn it!))
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:30:27 AM)
It is. I always envied their ability to cut travel times. *She nibbled her lower lip and looked to Robin* I think I have offended you.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:32:29 AM)
She looks at her curiously, "I don't really get offended. Not really. Don't worry about me."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:33:32 AM)
Why can't I worry about you? *She asked quizzically, and turned in the chair to face Robin, smiling to her. It may have been the first, true, not so creepy smile she has given.*
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:34:22 AM)
"I can take care of myself mostly. I'm strong." She says in a soft voice.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:35:27 AM)
That isn't what I mean. Friends worry about one another, companions fight for one another, be it a shouting match, or sacrificing their health and wellness for one of their own. *She watched Robin* You are strong, I can tell, but, letting others be strong with you, can make you even stronger.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:36:38 AM)
"There's nothing to fight for though. We have everything we need already." She crosses her arms and leans back.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:36:54 AM)
What do you mean?
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:39:07 AM)
"It's easy to build things. And we have everything we need to build a better world already." She says just as quietly.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:40:24 AM)
You cannot build a better world, ontop of an already damaged one. You have to fix what is broken, before you can rebuild, unless you destroy what is broken. And building masks what we need to fix. If you build a skyscraper over a fault line, does it not shake, and possibly break?
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:42:50 AM)
"Weird metaphor or something." She admits with a shrug, "But you don't always make perfect salad, but when you put the vegies together, it's still a salad."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:44:42 AM)
Yes, but can you make a GOOD salad, with bad veggies, and no dressing? *She smiled* We have what could make a better world, but building it isn't the means. We need to learn how this world we live in now operates, where our place is, and then... work on making it better for everyone. Or well, that is my thought. Wasting energy to build a good city, on bad land, would make me saddened, because the world will reclaim that city, and the people inside could die. *She pouted.*
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:46:12 AM)
"Just a weird metaphor." She shrugs, standing up with a grin, "But at least you're admiting we can still make this place good."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:47:11 AM)
Never said we couldn't. I just think we need to wait, and see where our place is. I can't run around killing cancer victims, even if the way I can do it, is probably less painless than the disease killing them, or even if they begged me. *She sighed, and looked down*
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:48:01 AM)
She put a hand on her head, "Don't worry about it."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:50:25 AM)
((Julia's head?))
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:51:01 AM)
(Her head.)
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:51:51 AM)
You okay? *She looked up*
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:53:36 AM)
She turns to walk into the house. "I'm fine. Sorry if I'm not up to standards." She laughs quietly, looking back at her. "I'm not on the same level as everyone else. I'm not where near as bound to this new place as everyone else. I'm... cold? I'm cold."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 2:54:30 AM)
Bound to this new place? *She blinked, and would stand up to follow Robin, looking concerned* And you are up to standards... what standards besides your friends standards are you talking about?
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 2:56:23 AM)
She sits down on the sofa, slumping. "Everyone's. My parents', my sister's, my friends... I can't do anything right now. The reason I came out of the pit died hundreds of years ago, I found out."

Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 3:02:37 AM)
(^_^)
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 3:03:53 AM)
*She walked over, and flopped over onto the couch beside Robin, and actually leaned into the larger woman, whispering into Robin's ear* You are a wonderful person. You live up to the standards I have set forth for a wonderful person. You are a better person than me. You are loyal, strong, concerned, caring, but most of all, you exhude... hope.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 3:05:59 AM)
She puts an arm around her shoulders, smiling, "Thanks. It feels good to cheer up a slayer."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 3:07:43 AM)
*She giggled a bit, and seemed to snuggle into Robin, whispering* I am here to help people, but I need help too sometimes. Thank you for being here.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 3:09:47 AM)
"I'm here." She says with a nod, "I'm here." And she becomes quiet as she starts to think. "And at least I'm not tiny."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 3:11:24 AM)
Even if you were tiny, I think you would still be beautiful. *She said softly, snuggling more into Robin*
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 3:13:59 AM)
She rests her head on Julia's, "Unless I was ugly, or had three heads like a friend of mine."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 3:17:36 AM)
You would be pretty with three heads, and pretty if you were ugly. *She waved those off like they were flies*
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 3:18:47 AM)
"What if I had tenticles and oozes and weird... flying bits?" She's having fun with this.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 3:21:21 AM)
I would cure your oozes if I could, and well, tentacles wouldn't be too bad. And what kinda flying bits? *She laughed, and kissed Robin's cheek softly*
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 3:22:36 AM)
She leans back to lay on the sofa, pulling Julia on top of her like a ragdoll. "I don't know. Weird stuff."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 3:25:50 AM)
*She purposefully straddled Robin, and leaned down to nibble on Robin's neck, nuzzling her cheek into the rest of the neck as she did so* Well, if you weren't trying to eat me... I would be okay with it.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 3:28:10 AM)
She runs her hands down Julia's back and then her legs. "I don't know what I'm doing."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 3:29:07 AM)
Does it feel good? *She looked up to Robin, and whispered this, her voice soft, gentle, and without any matter of fact tone at all*
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 3:29:50 AM)
"I'm not sure." She whispers back, "But let's slow down, okay?"
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 3:32:16 AM)
*She nodded, and just sank herself down ontop of Robin, and nuzzled into her neck, whispering* Can I sit like this? It feels good. Calming. Like a memory.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 3:32:57 AM)
She pets her back, then hugs her with both arms. "This is okay."
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 3:41:04 AM)
You never fought in the war, and you were not part of the timetables. *She said* What were you? *She smiled up at Robin, and the larger woman can finally see the side of the Slayer she hid... the side where she wasn't just some information seeker, but some Slayer, trying to keep the soul of the human alive, within her.*
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 3:41:50 AM)
"Nothing much really, nothing like you, doing all those things. It must have been amazing... What was it like?"
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 3:43:01 AM)
Doing what? Killing? It wasn't fun. It was what I did, and I got very good at it, and very timely. I would know when something was going to need to die, like some farm animal, kill it, and then it either was to be food for something, or I decomposed it, and it was reused.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 3:43:42 AM)
"Did you like it? Or was it terrible?"
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 3:50:43 AM)
It was what I was, can't like it or not. It would be like telling a malefactor of earth to not like working on the mountains.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 3:51:44 AM)
"It's too bad the mountains fell down." She sighs.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 3:54:28 AM)
*She nodded* The world looks so different. But, it is our world now.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 3:55:48 AM)
"What do you look like normally?" She asks out of no where.
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 3:56:45 AM)
My apocolyptic form? *She ask, looking into Robin's eyes*
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 3:57:41 AM)
She nods, "What do you look like really?"
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 4:01:19 AM)
I just... grow wings, and get a red sigil over my head.... when I want to be seen that is. Otherwise, I have all those things, but cannot be seen. I am cloaked in the shroud of death, making it nigh impossible to see me in darkness, and hard to see in light.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 4:01:55 AM)
"So I couldn't see you if I wanted to?"
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 4:04:29 AM)
Not unless I let the shroud fall away. *She blinked at Robin*
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 4:05:00 AM)
"I was just curious. Why do you seem offended? Isn't that who you really are?"
Julia Mackison (Nov 4, 2011 4:08:15 AM)
I am me, in this form, and that form. This may be Julia's body, but it is ours now, and so, I thinkg of it as me as well. And I am not offended, I was just confused. Not many wish to see my angellic form.
Robin Starr (Nov 4, 2011 4:09:43 AM)
She laughs quietly, "Sorry about that. Don't worry."
