*She is planting seedlings in the greenhouse*
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 12:38:33 AM)
*He comes into the greenhouse carrying an orchid, then smiles when he sees her there* Hello Peyton.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 12:40:20 AM)
Jean! *She beams at him* I'm glad you're here.. I wanted to talk to you about something *She stands and removes her gloves *
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 12:40:38 AM)
Oh? Something serious?
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 12:42:08 AM)
*shakes her head* No.. not really.. *Looks at him* How would you feel about expanding the business.. ?
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 12:42:47 AM)
Expanding? How?
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 12:44:56 AM)
Well I was thinking of reclaiming the undeveloped lots.. you know maybe grow some fruit trees and the larger plants.. But I know it would fall on your shoulders.. mostly and I was just wondering if you were up for something like that ?
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 12:45:44 AM)
Oh, sure! I thought you'd want me to start helping with the paperwork and taxes and stuff. That had me worried.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 12:47:11 AM)
*laughs* No.. I would never do that to you.. Also I was thinking of hiring you an assistant.. *Looks into his eyes* I have noticed the limp Jean Baptiste, though you are too stoic to say anything about it
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 12:47:39 AM)
I don't really need an assistant...
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 12:47:58 AM)
*nods* I thought you might say that...
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 12:48:57 AM)
*Smiles and hugs him* Alright we will see how you feel after you start planting those trees *chuckles as she looks at him again*
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 12:50:22 AM)
*He smiles* As long as I have the right tools, and I have them, you don't need to worry Peyton.
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 12:50:40 AM)
This climate is so good for plants anyway, they almost grow themselves.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 12:51:37 AM)
*smiles* I know that, Jean...You have always been the best part of this whole buisness endeavor.. *Hands him a bag of plant food..* Would you mind mixing this up for me? The bucket is over there next to the faucet.. he puts her gloves back on and watches him again*
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 12:52:05 AM)
*she))
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 12:52:20 AM)
Not at all. *He puts the orchid away carefully somewhere, then gets the bag from her and goes do as she asked.*
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 12:53:51 AM)
I was thnking about the accident the other day.. and how it led me to my life here and I was wondering if it was fate... I mean there has got to be some reason that I am still alive..
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 12:54:38 AM)
Your back hasn't been bothering you again, has it? I keep telling you you work too much in here...
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 12:56:43 AM)
*Shakes her head* No, in fact it has really never felt better.. surprise, surprise.. no, I am just thinking about stuff.. about life and death and fate. Life is just so.. short, you know?
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 12:58:14 AM)
Yes, but you're still young. You might even take up some dancing again if the back gets all good.

Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:01:02 AM)
*chuckles* Maybe... I don't think I will ever dance the way I used to.. but was it so bad to have wanted that and worked for it? I mean do you think is God punishing me for wanting to dance? Or was it just chance? Or fate?
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:01:06 AM)
(mind if I join?)
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:01:23 AM)

Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:02:12 AM)
*They are in the green house in back of the store.. the store has a closed sign on the door*
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:04:09 AM)
*Alex pulls up to the establishment in his 67 cadillac eldorado and parks. Pulling the keys out of the ignition, he steps out of the vehicle and begins to whistle the theme from Hostel as he makes his way to the front entrance* Damn *sighs as he reads the sign beside the door. He then knocks anyway to see if the owner may still be around* (what time?)
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:04:39 AM)
(( early afternoon))
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:05:49 AM)
*Stops almost mid sentence* Did you hear someone knocking?
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:06:23 AM)
*Alex furrowing his brows at the place being closed in the early afternoon, he looks at the sign once more, then knocks again a bit louder*
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:06:51 AM)
Jean, would you mind seeing who is at the door? We could use a customer
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:07:17 AM)
*Her phone rings.. and she looks around trying to remember where she put it*
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:07:28 AM)
I think I heard something, yes. And sure. *The old man limps his way to open the door for Alex after checking who is out there.*
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:07:36 AM)
Hello sir.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:08:01 AM)
*Finally finds it behind a planter .. doesnt recognixe the number, but answers* Hello?
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:08:33 AM)
*Alex smiles at the old man* Well hello there. I was hoping to find you open as I have need of some specific herbs... *shifts from one foot to the other* So are you open?
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:09:28 AM)
Sure we are, come on in.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:09:57 AM)
No problem
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:10:01 AM)
We do have quite a variety of herbs.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:10:17 AM)
*She is speaking on her phone*
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:12:00 AM)
*Alex makes his way into the establishment and glances around* That is good to hear. *glances around the place* I'm looking for some herbal curatives.... things that could be used as supliments *lists off various herbs to include Moth's root"
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:13:53 AM)
The first three we do have... Moth's root though... That's tough... I think we had some... but I have to look it up...
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:14:30 AM)
*Alex nods paitiently* Please do sir *Alex glances to the tall woman on the phone* (you do highlanders?)
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:14:33 AM)
*She hangs up the ophone and goes into the front to seewho is here
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:14:57 AM)
*she smiles beautifully* Well hello there.. is Jean helping you?
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:15:06 AM)

Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:17:22 AM)
Hey Peyton... Would you talk to the costumers while I go look for Moth's Root back there? I'm prety sure we had at least one cut in a vase...
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:17:37 AM)
*nods* Certainly
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:17:57 AM)
*smiles to him* Moth's Root.. hats an interesting herb
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:18:44 AM)
*And Jean goes to the back*
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:19:01 AM)
*Alex nods* Yes... my gramma *Alex glances into her eyes and blinks*
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:19:01 AM)
*With a slight limp... then again, he does look a bit old*
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 1:19:35 AM)
*A white van pulling up outside iddles for a moment before being turned off, the opening and shutting of a door sounding before footsteps can be heard walking towards the store.*
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:20:00 AM)
*Her gaze centers on his and she shivers*
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:24:19 AM)
*After a long moment Alex glances at her once more* I believe we've met once before... were you once in a band... the Vashers or something? *winks momentarily at her*
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:24:59 AM)
*For a moment she cannot tear her eyes from his then she smiles as he speaks* that was a long time ago.. a very long time ago
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:26:12 AM)
*Glances towards the door and sees Paige* Come on in, the door is open *Turns to him* You have me at a disadvantage.. I don't know your name
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 1:26:26 AM)
*Stepping into the shop she smiles as she looks between the two, a grace to her stride and bearing that is accompanied by a relaxed air of confidence that seems to touch the air around her.* Hi, you know Pey I think I have gotten to the point where this whole city just can't get any stranger.
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:27:01 AM)
*grins* Well it is good to see you once more... I'm Mr. Browning *extends hand* but please call me Alex *glances at where Jean left the room* So you're an herbalist now? *glances around the establishment* In the event that you don't have the herbs I require... can you get them *glances then to paige coming in*
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:28:51 AM)
*Takes his hand* Im Peyton Broussard.. please call me Peyton, ANd yes, if we don't have it we can get it, but I think we do,, have it I mean.. *smiles at Paige* Well hello to you too, Paige.. This is ALex Browning.. Alex this is Paige Villawood
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:29:26 AM)
*Jean comes back at just the right time* Oh... We do have the moth's root... but it's the last of it... It's going to be expensive. Maybe we could offer you a discount if you allowed us the time to take a cut and plant it first...
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:30:19 AM)
*Smiles to Jean* This is my partner, Jean Baptiste, *nods to them* ALex Browning and Paige Villawood
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:30:40 AM)
*nods to Paige* Yes, we've met before *smiles at Paige* So you two work together the... *glances at Jean* What do you mean Jean?
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 1:31:25 AM)
Hi Alex. *She smiles to Alex with a waves as she steps over to the counter, her hand extended towards Jean.* Hello Jean, nice to meet you, I've been meaning to come and take a look at what you have established here for some time.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:32:14 AM)
*Smiles at Jean proudly* We wouldn't be anywhere if it weren't for Jean.. he was with my gather for years
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:32:15 AM)
It's a pleasure to meet you both. And would you consider waiting for a day, maybe two, before you take the moth's root, Mr. Browning?
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:32:29 AM)
Father*))
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:33:11 AM)
*nods to Jean* I do not mind Jean as long as you ensure that you sell it to me and not someone else... how much is this going to run me by the way?
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:33:13 AM)
*Looks to Alex.. feeling a little unsettled that she has met another of her kind.. *
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 1:34:00 AM)
*Falling quiet she leans her hip against the counter and smiles as the business is concluded between them all.*
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:34:47 AM)
*He looks at Peyton for the price, and whisper something to her.*

Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:36:05 AM)
*nods a little to Jean and then looks to Alex* What would you normally pay for something like this, Alex?
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:36:17 AM)
09/19/11 05:35:42 rolls 5 dice vs. diff of 6 to Intel Finance: 9, 4, 10, 10, 5 : 3 successes
(what's a fair price)
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:37:42 AM)
((It's quite rare, so it's a seller's market. Then again, it's just a herb... Expensive, rare orchids can go by really a lot of money...))
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 1:37:57 AM)
(Thousands and thousands!)
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:38:10 AM)
(i seriously doubt thousands and thousands)
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:38:41 AM)
((I figure anywhere between $300 and $400 for the moth's roth should be great, and the other 3 herbs could be bargained to go for free with it.))
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 1:39:00 AM)
(Yep I found a rare orchid the other day that sells for 7, 000 pounds a plant)
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:39:39 AM)
((wow, I never saw any more expensive than 3000 pounds))
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 1:39:49 AM)
(Crazy huh?)
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:40:31 AM)
That's an odd question Peyton... but I'd normally pay about 300 for it... but I'll give you 400 if you throw in a bag of each of the following common herbs: Marijam, Angelica, Stark Weed, Basil, and Bethany *raises his brow quizzically*
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:41:18 AM)
*Jean remains impassive, letting Peyton do the dealing.*
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:41:28 AM)
*She watches Alex carefully* I think we can do this for $400, and I will add the other herbs for your wilingness to let us clone it
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:41:49 AM)
(( sorry having some keyboard problems))
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:42:35 AM)
*nods* That is acceptable... but I want the original... and not the clone and I want to be able to buy more in the future if needed... exclusively.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:43:42 AM)
*Arcs a brow* Exclusively...*Looks to Jean, then back to Alex* Now that 's an odd request as well.. but I don't see why not, no one else has asked for it
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:44:18 AM)
*smiles* Excellent *reaches into his pocket and sets down 450* and that's for the friendly service
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 1:44:42 AM)
*She watches Alex with a curious gaze, her head tilting to the side as she makes a mental note to study up on this herb later in an attempt to find out exactly what his interest could be.*
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:44:53 AM)
*Returns his smile as she takes the money* A pleasure doing business with you Alex
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:45:20 AM)
*He mumbles, mostly for Peyton's ears, maybe mostly for his own.* Of course, if the demand for it suddenly increases dramatically, keeping it exclusive would certainly raise the price... *Then he says, louder* Should we call you somewhere to tell you when you can pick it up, Mr. Browning?
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:47:28 AM)
*chuckles at Jean* You just told me that nobody else buys it... so what kind of demand is that... *glances to Peyton and removes his card, and placing it on the counter* There's my number please call when it's ready (card says Alex Browning - Licenced Bounty Hunter - Phone number)
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 1:48:52 AM)
*She winks at Alex, finally speaking as the transaction seems to be drawing to a close.* Demand changes, that's the nature of things Alex. Sometimes it's a buyers market, sometimes it's a sellers market.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:49:07 AM)
*Her eyes sparkle with amusement* For now, but who knows what tomorrow may bring? *Picks up the card and reads it, then looks to him*
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:49:50 AM)
I will do my best to hold the price for you...
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:50:08 AM)
*smiles more to himself than to the greedy blood sucking herbalists* I wish you all a good day *with that Alex takes two steps back and begins to whistle a creepy tune as he exits the establishment*
Alex Browning (Sep 19, 2011 1:50:32 AM)
(going to smoke willl return after a bit)
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:50:40 AM)
Creepy fellow...
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:50:54 AM)
*Watches him go then turns to Paige* You said you already know him.. how exactly? He is a bounty hunter
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:51:03 AM)
*nods to Jean* Very
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 1:52:35 AM)
I met him, very briefly. *Her head tilts to the side as she looks over to Peyton and Jean.* The thing is, -why- does he so desperately want such a rare herb and more importantly -why- does he want no one else to have it. *She smiles with a little gleam in her eyes, the mystery sparking her mind to much more interesting subjects than the confusion which had recently filled it.* I think I need to take a trip to the university library and do some research on Moths Foot.
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:53:27 AM)

Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:56:32 AM)
*Glances around the shop* Jean, I thought we had a book on herbs around here
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:58:22 AM)
Here or at your house, Peyton?
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 1:58:31 AM)
I mean bigger than our other books... maybe Dad had it.. at the house I think
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 1:59:04 AM)

Jean (Sep 19, 2011 1:59:41 AM)
((Peyton, you remember something about this herb and witches. Paige, you remember moth's foot is supposed to be poisonous in huge amounts, but could act as a very light upper in small doses like what Alex bought.))
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 2:00:06 AM)
((Since you two used different knowledges... different things you know. :-) ))
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:01:20 AM)
I seem to remember that at one time moth's root was used in wiccan rituals.. and I am pretty sure Dad had something about it in one of his massive herbal tomes..but it may be packed away somewhere...
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 2:01:39 AM)
((If any of you has occult, feel free to roll int+occult dif 8))
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:01:48 AM)
I'm almost certain it can be used to induce a state of intoxication. *She smiles and looks to the two herbalists.* Then again, the high can't be so good it's worth -that- amount of money.
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:02:26 AM)
(1 sux again)
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:02:34 AM)
*shakes her head* You never know these days..people wil buy anything if they think it will get them stoned
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 2:03:52 AM)
((Paige, when she mentions Wiccans, you remember something about powerful rituals related to this plant. No details though.))
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 2:04:31 AM)
The reason we had it is because it's supposed to have medicinal uses too.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:05:13 AM)
Not surprising.. it's the same with many herbs..even the nightshades..
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:06:04 AM)
*Shaking her head she smiles over to Peyton.* No I think you were onto something with the wiccan rituals, I think I -also- read somewhere that it was needed to perform more powerful rituals or more complex rituals or something. *Her smile widening she shakes her head once more.* Definately time to take a trip to the library.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:06:38 AM)
And she's off on another Nancy Drew Mystery!
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:08:16 AM)
*She chuckles at that and looks towards Peyton.* Come on Pey! Don't you want to -know-?
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:09:34 AM)
Of course I do.. *grins* I just enjoy your sense of mystery.. is all.. makes me look at old n'awlins with fresh eyes
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:10:50 AM)
*She returns the grin, in truth her senses sparking to life at the new mystery that presented itself to them.* Well at least with this mystery we are just going to torment some books and not some poor random boy.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:12:15 AM)
*nods* Indeed... I wonder what the street valueon Moth''s Root could be?
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:14:04 AM)
I'm more interested in knowing why Alex wants exclusive rights on a plant used to power high level wickan rituals.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:14:11 AM)
*chuckles again as she looks for Jean's disapproval* Just kidding
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:15:31 AM)
Well the answers to both questions would be good to have,..You think Alex may be a Wiccan? Or maybe he is searching for one and the moths root is the bait?
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:16:15 AM)
*She smiles and shrugs, clearly excited by the little puzzle placed before her.* I have absolutely no idea Pey, but -every- intention of finding out.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:17:58 AM)
*scowls a little* You know.. I think we should be very careful investigating this..I wouldn't want to see what happens if this Alex fellow gets mad
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:19:51 AM)
If he is gathering this herb for a high level wiccan ritual, he could be pretty dangerous in general
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:20:24 AM)
You think he could be a threat? *She looks over her shoulder towards the door through which Alex had come, thinking for a moment and biting down lightly upon her bottom lip.* I will have to ask Amos, maybe he has some insight into him.
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 2:21:20 AM)
You girls sound like you actually believe in this foolishness...
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:21:49 AM)
*realizes she had been clenching her fists.. she relaxes them and looks to her* I think something about this entire situation is threatening.
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:22:37 AM)
*Smiling over at Jean, Paige crosses one long leg over the other as she folds her arms accross her stomach and makes herself comfortable leaning against the counter.* Everyone has to believe in foolishness from time to time Jean, otherwise you end up old and dull.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:23:13 AM)
*Looks to Jean* And you know what happens when people get involved in drugs, it's not foolishness
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 2:23:37 AM)
Drugs I believe in. And I -am- old and foolishness.
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:24:55 AM)
*She chuckles and continues to look to Jean.* Well think of this way, when people first said the earth was round others thought they were foolish. To have a great breakthrough discovery in anything, first someone has to say something insanely crazy that no one has thought of before.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:25:44 AM)
*chuckles* You aren't -that- old Jean..*she launches into a pretty good cajun accent* and how can you say dat when you been around de old gris gris.. of de voo doo, mon..dey got shops you know.. and corpse powder and such..
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:26:10 AM)
*shrugs* One man's foolishness is another man's religion
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:27:28 AM)
So what may be Jean's foolishness could in fact be Alex's religion? *She looks to Peyton in question, feeling that they were somehow skirting on the edges of understanding.*
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 2:27:58 AM)
*He just shrugs*
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:28:38 AM)
Perhaps.. but I was thinking it was more like the Wiccan religion was foolishness,, but it is a serious real experience for them
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:29:30 AM)
And where there are two or more joining in agreement about such 'foolishness", miraculous things can sometimes happen
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 2:30:02 AM)
I'm not so sure, but then, I'm better with plants than with religion.
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:30:10 AM)
*Hopping up a little so that she sits on the top of the herbalists counter she crosses her legs and looks over to Petyon in thought.* Belief has meaning though. It doens't even matter so much -what- is believed in, the very act of believing has power. So if enough people -believe- in the wiccan religion then surely that religion has -some- power?
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:32:07 AM)
*nods* I would say so, yes.. that is why ritual exists.. even in the catholic church,, it holds different meanings for people depending upon their belief systems.. but I have learned that perception can be everything..
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:32:45 AM)
To people who believe in them. rituals are extremely poweful
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:33:18 AM)
*She nods, the smile remaining upon her lips as she looks to the other woman.* And what do most of us who have returned recently seek?
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 2:33:25 AM)
Well, but the catholic church has God to power miracles.
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 2:33:34 AM)
Returned?
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 2:33:50 AM)
((So... Jean is not really in the know, thus his disbelief))
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 2:34:02 AM)
((for now at least))
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:34:16 AM)
*She flashes Peyton a quick apologetic smile before looking back to Jean.* To the city, from field studies ... South America.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:34:26 AM)
Alex doesn't even need to be a believer in the ritual himself.. if he know that others have that belief he can exploit it.. that is what televangelists doand how they are so successful
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 2:35:03 AM)
Ah.
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:35:06 AM)
*Smiling she looks back to Peyton with a nod.* Which means that Alex is experimenting with magics.
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 2:35:31 AM)
Peyton, I'll go clone this Moth's Foot, do you mind?
Jean (Sep 19, 2011 2:35:44 AM)
((My mind is turning to mush, it's 3:30am here))
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:36:01 AM)
*nods to him.. Thank you Jean *then to Paige* That would be my guess.. as a means to manipulate someone
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:36:13 AM)
(( thanks ))
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:38:13 AM)
Manipulate or control. *She waves goodbye to Jean with a smile, waiting for him to leave before turning back to Peyton.* The only thing is Pey, that one thing I'm sure of is that it's only used in powerful rituals, we're not talking about small things here but important magic.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:39:18 AM)
*nods* But even if it is a powerful ritual, he need not have the belief.. in fact it would be better if he did not.. it is like a dealer whouldn't be doing the drugs he sells..
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:40:00 AM)
*Looks to make sure Jean is out of ear shot* Important and dangerous magic
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:40:39 AM)
*She nods, reaching behind her to gather up her hair and twist it around and in on itself, poking the end through the loop to hold it back and away from her face.* Yes, and the real question is what is he trying to do with it and is anyone aware that he is playing with rituals?
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:41:10 AM)
Apparently he thinks there might be.. remember he wanted exclusivity
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:41:45 AM)
So maybe he is afraid someone else might want to try the same thing
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:42:08 AM)
You're right. *She nods as the little puzzle continues to unravel.* So he wants to make sure that whatever power he thinks this is going to give him is his and his alone.

Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:47:33 AM)
*She shakes her head.* No not us. *She looks to Peyton following the pacing with her eyes.* In fact the reason why he didn't mind talking about it in front of us is that it has nothing to do with us. Pey, are you a member of the court?
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:48:06 AM)
*Looks up to her vaguely* Court? no....
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:48:35 AM)
Court.. I am trying to remember I
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:49:14 AM)
*She shakes her head.* Me either, Amos spoke to me about it but I haven't had the time to even consider putting in an appearance yet. Still i can't help but wonder if he feels it's safe to go through us because we -aren't- members of the court.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:49:44 AM)
I don't think he knew about me when he came here
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:50:05 AM)
but I agree he doesn't want the others toknow what he is doing
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:50:39 AM)
But did he know about you before or after he bought the herbs?
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:50:39 AM)
He probably thinks we wont bother to find out..
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:51:03 AM)
*thinks for a moment* He asked for the herbs before he met me
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:51:12 AM)
HE spoke to Jean
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:52:06 AM)
But he knew about me when he actually bought them and he also bought them in front of you..I take it he knows about you as well
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:52:50 AM)
*She nods, a smile working it's way onto her lips.* Pey, have you noticed that this city just gets more and more interesting with each passing day?
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:53:35 AM)
*runs her hand through her hair.* well, I have to say it has gotten very interesting since I met you...
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:55:40 AM)
*She laughs softly at that, her dark eyes filled with life and enthusiasm for the world around her as she looks to Peyton.* None of it is my fault I promise, things just keep happening around me without the least encouragement at all.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:57:18 AM)
*laughs with teasing in her eyes* I wonder...
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 2:58:15 AM)
*Grinning over to Peyton.* Alright, so maybe there is a teensy little bit of encouragement from me, but I can't help but notice things and I -hate- unanswered questions.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 2:59:41 AM)
So I have noticed..*her smile is warm* I think I was content to let things go on, without much notice but I can't seem to allow that anymore
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 3:01:02 AM)
It's more fun this way Pey, besides it just means that ultimately we are destined to make a great breakthrough in one area or another.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:03:32 AM)
I am starting to have trouble figuring out what it is I feel from what it is .. Peyton feels.. *her look is ernest and beseeching* You know? And each time something like this happens.. the memories go crazy
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:04:28 AM)
*she rubs her temples* How can we know that what we are thinking is even viable?
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 3:05:19 AM)
*Her smile fades a little as she looks to Peyton, nodding in responce.* The whole her, me or us thing? *She sighs a little and shakes her head.* I still don't understand it exactly myself, there are times when I feel so much like Paige that Aideen seems a dream and then times where I -am- Aideen and Paige is but a memory. Chris wants to know exactly what he was offered and I have no idea myself, is he being replaced? Joined?
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:05:53 AM)
*Incredulous* You told him these things?
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 3:07:02 AM)
*She shakes her head and looks to Peyton.* No, I told him it was complicated and I'd explain it later. I think ultimately I was just buying time because I don't -know- what to tell him.
gwarf (Sep 19, 2011 3:07:49 AM)

Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:07:53 AM)
I don't understand why you keep at it.. I think it would be better to just let him forget any of this even happened.. he wil remember when he needs to - dont you think?

(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 189.78.28.69)
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:08:25 AM)
I mean is he coming to you with questions?
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 3:09:29 AM)
He had them at the cafe. *She sighs and looks to a spot in the wall thinking.* At first he was terrified of me, of us. He thought we were werewolves of something I think. Maybe you are right and the best thing I can do is just leave him to try and rationalise it away.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:10:51 AM)
I just don't think it is up to you to try to provide him with the answers, especially since neither of us have any.. not for a human
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:11:45 AM)
Whatever happened to us will probably happen to him when the time is his..
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 3:11:56 AM)
Maybe you're right Pey but... if we know he is going to change, if we -know- that is destined to happen, then I thought we could make sure it didn't happen to him alone, with him being lost and confused with no idea of what was going on.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:13:08 AM)
*Looks to her sharply* That is the way it happened to all of us isn't it? What if you are interfering with the process by telling him of it before hand.. what if your attempts make it even harder for him?
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:13:28 AM)
We know what is going to happen to him, but he doesn't
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:13:59 AM)
I don't think it will happen to him if he is not alone...
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 3:14:28 AM)
He knows that -something- is and he's terrified of it. *She looks away from the wall and back to Peyton.* That part of it's already been broken to him, for good or ill, he understands that fate has something in store for him.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:16:05 AM)
*shrugs* Fate has something in store for all of us. I don't know what the answer is, but I dont think chasing him and then telling him you will explain it all another time is really helping him
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 3:17:14 AM)
You might be right. *She sighs and slides down from the bench.* You probably are, I tell you what i won't go looking for him anymore okay? If he comes to me, he comes to me, if not we just let things take their natural course.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:18:36 AM)
I don't understand why you think it is your task to explain it to him in the first place.. there were three of us there. *shakes her head* I would rather see him forget about it.. it would be better for him in the long run I think
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 3:20:30 AM)
Oh for that you need to blame Amos. *She smiles and slips her hand into her pocket.* I told him I was the wrong person to talk to him but he insisted it had to be done and it had to be me. Since he knows so much more about this than I do.... anyhow I have done my best now. It's up to him whether he wants to forget it or discover the truth.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:21:06 AM)
Who is Amos anyway? I assume he is the rather large man I saw you with today
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:21:58 AM)
*chuckles * I for one would love to discover the truth
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 3:22:23 AM)
Yes that he is. *She smiles and pulls the keys out of her pocket.* He's one of our brothers Pey, he's been out longer than either of us though and has some sway in the city. He found me first and has decided to take me under his wing, I think he remembers me from before, or well actually I know that he remembers me from before.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:22:51 AM)
I wonder if I know him too..
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:23:15 AM)
No, I dont think he knows me.. at least it didnt seem so
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:24:58 AM)
Its good to have a friend..someone to talk to about all this.
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 3:25:46 AM)
*She smiles with a little shrug of her shoulders.* I'm sure we all knew of eachother at one point or another, though likely some of us worked closer together than others. I know I should remember him as more than a vaguely familiar name. *She smiles a curious expression, that laughter at herself in her eyes once more.* More than a name and yellow roses that is. *Her words bringing her out of the abstracted thought she nods and on impulse steps up to Peyton and hugs her quickly.* I agree completely and I promise, no more hunting Chris down.
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:26:42 AM)
*hugs her back* From what you say, it appears to be your mission..let me know if I can help//
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:27:12 AM)
I will see what I can discover about Moth's Root and let you know
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:27:27 AM)
WE should get together n a day or two and compare notes
Paige Villawood (Sep 19, 2011 3:27:53 AM)
*She chuckles and nods turning towards the door.* You have my number, come or call anytime. I'll see you later Pey!
Peyton Broussard (Sep 19, 2011 3:28:06 AM)
