We left off with Aislinn trying to get a birds eye view of the surreal concrete and metal maze that seemed to lie beneath the scarring and the seal. The images instead of settling spun and shifted and zoomed in and out all out of order with the way they should be moving. All that really could be gleaned from it was walking the maze... and walking.. and walking.. was it the undelying structure or was this a memory, at this level it was hard to tell. Then came a drumbeat, the whole thing jumped. Another, and an influx of voices, conversations, yelling, singing, arguing, all of it all at once in a deafening crecendo that probably made her head spin. After a moment though, she'd recognize it for what it was.. shards, fragments of memory, all whipped up and pushing against the barrier before tapering off as fast as it came and trickling to a dull murmer. One couldn't hear in here. One couldn't think. One couldn't see beyond the basic instincts... and yet it was a memory. Clearly so because then some rude jackass s

Clearly so because then some rude jackass shoved him into the wall, and it was pain that popped his concious mind out of that insantiy.. only to be met with an unfamiliar street, and a truckload of confusion. :What? Ugh.. Where am I...?:

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 8, 2010 10:48:00 PM)
(speaking of drugs.. i think mine kicked in too. @_@ oh much better.. )

Aislinn Connelly (Oct 8, 2010 10:48:39 PM)
::Ais paused, looking to the jackass that shoved him, and she focused, looking around, seeing what he saw... and looking for where they were.... guessing... Seattle? She kept a finger on the spot she'd poked for the memory, knowing it was a hot spot, and wanting to keep an eye on that node of mucked-up wiring::

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 8, 2010 11:00:26 PM)
Yep.. it was The Avenue in Seattle. The guy who shoved him was really just some street punk skater, and after having shoved Jar outta the way he was paying him no more mind really. At that moment. in time Jareth was just.. freaking out. Slowly going into nervous breakdown mode as every question he thought of had no answer, and omg, what if it was the techs?! nooo this isn't right. Another set of skater kids came barreling down the sidewalk following after the first group and this time Jareth jumped back off the path to avoid them. Running right into Craig (who caught him with the usual blasse' Akashic reflexes) and Jareth apologized first in Mandarin before catching himself being rude and -hastily- amended the same thing in English. Craig responded in mandarin, much to Jar's surprise.. and soon Alexandra (pretty redhead cultist who liked to dressup nice) showed up and the two of them convinced a confession out of him. Alex claimed his arm before he could escape.. and dragged him off to another cafe.. where m

Alex claimed his arm before he could escape.. and dragged him off to another cafe.. where mages were being.. semi-subtle mages... and Jareth chilled out a bit, figuring them out before they said anything directly. Alex promptly dragged him home afterwards to feed him as he was -very- skinny then, and rather weak. He only noticed of course after the panic attack was over.

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 8, 2010 11:04:51 PM)
Aislinn also might note. Jareth is not currently in pain, and since Cas is probablys till helping him focus, he's got a Zen thing going, which makes things easier on Ais, i'm sure.

Aislinn Connelly (Oct 8, 2010 11:11:46 PM)
::Ais pays very close attention to Jareth.... wondering if it looked like he'd been starved over a long period of time prior... or if it was sudden weight loss. She watched the scene play out, memorizing the way his body moved and looked, in case it was significant. What he was wearing... what he had with him, etc::

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 8, 2010 11:16:29 PM)
He had jeans, that embroidered vest of his, a dirty white tshirt, scuffed boots, the charms in his hair, and a belt-pouch with various stones, a utility knife, and that silver mask. No money, no ID, no nothing. As for his physical condition.. i dunno.. what does happen to one who wanders around for a long period of time without eating anything that wasn't shoved on you by random folks? (It does happen. I've seen it.)

Aislinn Connelly (Oct 8, 2010 11:18:26 PM)
(that's just gradual starvation.... okay... so he didn't have skin hanging on him... more just... something over time.... kk.... how long does it appear he was doing that for?)

Aislinn Connelly (Oct 8, 2010 11:19:50 PM)
(and how dirty... like, been roaming for months.... or a week or too? Was his face and body clean, or filthy?)

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 8, 2010 11:21:22 PM)
(Dirty, but not nessecarily filthy, there was alot of water around. I'm going to roll a die here and get an actual answer for you.)

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 8, 2010 11:22:20 PM)

*remanifests, holding Jareth's hand and walking him through breathing meditation in Mandarin*

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 8, 2010 11:27:24 PM)
For Cas: Going through the mantras with him helped, a -great- deal.. of course it also helped Ais wasn't poking at sensitive bits anymore.

Aislinn Connelly (Oct 8, 2010 11:27:48 PM)
::Ais backs up a little bit on that thread, and then looks to the nearest memory to there, and begins to follow down that path instead, to see if she can pluck up a different memory::

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 8, 2010 11:29:48 PM)
That's the problem.. that thread leads right back beyond that seal. That -is- his oldest 'properly connected' memory. (*catches Cas up right quick*)

Aislinn Connelly (Oct 8, 2010 11:33:04 PM)
::Ais begins.... to poke the seal.... gently, searching, moving around it, as she tries to find a seam, or a point to just.... make an entrance. Or prod.... anything to just.... work at::

Cas Brimley (Oct 8, 2010 11:33:07 PM)
((Guess I didn't miss much. lol)) *concentrates on keeping him calm and comfortable, watching what Aislinn's up to as she pokes about in his brainbox*

Aislinn Connelly (Oct 8, 2010 11:34:10 PM)

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 8, 2010 11:48:15 PM)
The 'Seal' ...if one could call such crappy half done work that.. was tough to get through, and in trying to find another way in she noticed something. there's another memory coming out of it just like the first one. More recent, shorter.. only a day or so. --but this time he woke up in his room in Avalon. Back up, seems he was trying to push himself to remember something to do with his mentor, specifically... Why Owl? ..and what does it have to do with the mask he'd been Inspired to make.. and followed it trying to figure it out.. He'd gotten a headache about then, and didn't stop pursuing it this time.

Cas Brimley (Oct 8, 2010 11:48:46 PM)
(*sings the Jeopardy song* Op we're back on!))

Aislinn Connelly (Oct 8, 2010 11:50:06 PM)
::she traveled down that memory instead, asking herself... rhetorically.... Why Owl? She began to look into that one, diving into that memory, still collecting clues, mindful that it's easy to get lost... trusting Cas to get them both back if necessary::

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 8, 2010 11:55:15 PM)
(hehe) Physically Jareth had his eyes closed, and at one point had had a death grip on her hand, but it'd eased off now, and occasionally she'd note his lips moving to say the words with her, but.. not always. Easy. As Aislinn followed it, it led into a crack in the seal, and once inside things just went crazy again.. Nothing made sense, but there it was, lurking at the edge of perceptopn a flash of green eyes, red hair, and anger.. almost a physical thing that smacked him hard when he chased it. Passed out in bed.. and spent the next day lost in a spinning kalideoscope of reality, sick to his stomach, or sleeping.

Cas Brimley (Oct 8, 2010 11:55:39 PM)
*having little real concept what's going on behind the curtain at this point, she settles for keeping a close watch on both the involved parties.*
