Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:01:16 AM)
*laughs*
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:01:59 AM)
I think it may be why I went into it, actually. I mean, you spend so long picking up dirty little secrets that just get let go....
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:02:27 AM)
I.. can't even think of a profession I could use my abilities.. *blinks*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:02:56 AM)
Demolitions... ::said with a grin::
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:03:12 AM)
*pulls a face*
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:03:34 AM)
They'd want to know why there was never any rubble..
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:03:55 AM)
Mmm, superior cleanup crew.
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:04:05 AM)
Well, the fire is not useful on the job. *She rubs the back of her neck* I'm still stuck behind a desk until I clear, like, five more doctors or some bull.
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:04:32 AM)
And while floating pencils might be a good party trick, I've not seen a practical application for that.
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:05:07 AM)
*she smiles* No good deed goes unpunished.
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:07:15 AM)
And floating pencils? Um.. might be able to get a dog's attention away from something if they haven't seen you yet and a random item sails by..? *laughs*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:08:05 AM)
::she grins and tilts her head:: What.... do you want out of this, Isabel?
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:08:12 AM)
This new part of your life..
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:08:59 AM)
*quiets to hear Isabel's answer*
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:09:11 AM)
That's a good question. I've got control now, mostly. I've managed to keep the same drapes for two months straight. But.... I... I mean, I'm not really part of this world, am I?
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:09:41 AM)
*tilts her head* Which one is "this" one?
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:10:53 AM)
You. *She gestures at Ais and Cas* This supernatural thing. I'm certainly curious about it. Probably beyond my own good - but knowledge is power. And given what's already happened.... I don't want to be trapped again.
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:14:12 AM)
*a soft laugh* There's only one world. And we all choose our place in it, magic or no. So what do you want to do in the world, Isabel? If reality..were no object?
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:15:03 AM)
Hunh. *She blinks, considering this* Anything?
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:15:22 AM)
Why not? I mean.. I'm not making promises or something.. but what would you want to do?
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:17:37 AM)
Make it safe, I guess. There's so much evil out there. And... that isn't a word I use lightly, it isn't. But there is genuine evil, not just overblown temper or bad judgement, but.... but a cancer, not just of the body, but of society.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:18:55 AM)
::Ais leaned back in her chair, listening to Izzy, watching her::
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:19:50 AM)
*looks to Aislinn, then back to Isabel* We're.. well, our cabal might not be the route you want to go, then. *a tight smile* Each group of us has some sort of purpose..or should, anyway. We're not the front line sort.
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:21:27 AM)
*A confused look* Your cabal? I wasn't.... I'm sorry, if you thought....
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:22:26 AM)
*she grins* I was just curious really.. we haven't talked about it at all. But if you're interested in getting into the trenches and slugging it out against Evil.. you aught to take some backup.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:23:04 AM)
::Ais has her usual serene, calm look on her face, irridescent green eyes just watcing the two for a moment::
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:24:12 AM)
I'm not a mage, though. *She frowns* I mean, I'm still not sure where my place is, here.... I'm not at all interested in being some kind of henchman - what was it, consor?
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:25:04 AM)
.. It's not like there's a rule that says *intoning mock-seriously in a low voice* "Thou must be able to level a city block to join"
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:25:23 AM)
::she flicks a brow:: I do not believe any of us have... or have plans to have a consor. ::she grins to Cas:: We don't have power-specifics you need to meet...
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:25:52 AM)
Arguably, I could probably make a dent on a city block.... *She rubs the back of her neck* I've leveled a warehouse, at least.
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:26:19 AM)
*dropping the affected smile* Besides.. I prefer to judge folks on what they -do-..instead of what they Can do. I'd considered you an equal, Isabel. Not some sort of Henchman.
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:26:51 AM)
((Dropping the affected voice to smile, rather))
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:28:02 AM)
You guys have been nice, sure. But, I mean, it's hard to miss that I'm not... really... the same as you, either.
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:28:29 AM)
Nobody's the same as anyone else. *wrinkling her nose* That'd be weird as hell..
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:28:30 AM)
Does that matter to you? ::speakin softly::
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:29:06 AM)
I look at what you guys can do, and... and I don't see how anything I can do measures up. How it could help anything...
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:29:21 AM)
But.... does that matter to you?
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:30:04 AM)
Who doesn't want to be useful?
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:30:23 AM)
*blinks at Isabel..thrown by that line of logic..but she listens for the answer to Aislinn's question first..and smiles when she hears it*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:30:45 AM)
And you don't think you have anything to offer? I would disagree with that.
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:32:29 AM)
Maybe if I was an actual psychic - but Craig can re-write minds. I can float objects, but Kaydence can breach space and time.
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:32:51 AM)
I couldn't have seen this hag thing.. even if I'd been there in time. And I don't have ties to the police and access to their records. Sheesh.. you're a veritable goldmine of information. And.. with a cabal to help you in your own goals..think what you could accomplish on the right side of the law?
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:34:07 AM)
I've thought about that....
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:34:46 AM)
::she nods:: Not to mention... we are not the type to hoard secrets. If we can help you, we will. We do not withold such. ::said softly::
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:35:14 AM)
What is it that your cabal does?
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:36:20 AM)
That is part of what we do, yes. We are based on research, support, and education.
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:36:26 AM)
I wouldn't discount it, really. No one of us is an island.. cabals just make sense. And ..so you know.. even if you choose a different path, I'd love to do whatever I could to help your goal. *sheepish smile* If you think of anything I'd be useful for anyway.. Oh. We're more..yeah.
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:36:50 AM)
*nods to Aislinn's explanation*
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:37:13 AM)
Like how you helped me when I was getting a handle on the fire.
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:37:14 AM)
So yeah.. we'd work well with the police..secondhand-type ways.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:37:43 AM)
::she nods:: That was... prior to us officially being a cabal. But... yes. I've been taking on students for years now...
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:40:29 AM)
I never seriously considered belonging to a cabal. I'm... I've never been one to really be in the thick of things. Other than Corigan, I'm not even that close to my squad....
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:42:00 AM)
*smiles* That's..sort of where we are. Getting the information to the right people, providing what help we can where it needs to go.. helping others get a handle on things and progress. Not the front-line sort. Not that we wouldn't wade in for a good cause if we needed to! Just that.. well.. we can get more done in other ways.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:42:38 AM)
::Ais.... blushes slightly, and she looks away::
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:43:41 AM)
The thing I'm best at is digging around for information. I notice details. I'm not some kind of warrior, right? I'm a detective.
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:44:24 AM)
*grins, and exchanges a glance with Ais*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:45:00 AM)
::Ais smiles softly, nodding::
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:45:12 AM)
*back to Isabel* Well, now you know it's a possibility.
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:46:03 AM)
You'd... want me? Seriously?
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:46:49 AM)
*smile* Well.. Jareth has to chime in too.. but we like ya.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:47:19 AM)
::she nods:: As long as you are serious about it... we would welcome you.
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:48:01 AM)
*Her cheeks flush* Ok. That's... I'll take it under consideration. I... didn't expect this, at all, to be honest.
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:49:13 AM)
::Ais breathes out a bit, relaxing a little::
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:49:40 AM)
Take your time. We'll be here.
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:51:47 AM)
I'm... flattered, actually. *A twist of a smile*
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:52:51 AM)
::Ais smiles a bit, calm, cool, and serene::
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:52:57 AM)
*she laughs* Well good.. nice to know ya think well of us.
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:54:14 AM)
Why wouldn't I? The only one of you who reguarly pisses me off is Xander...
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:54:47 AM)
He... possesses that skill...
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:54:53 AM)
Xander.. oh he's not in our cabal. *laughs*
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:55:19 AM)
He's lucky I haven't set -him- on fire...
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:55:38 AM)
*snickers at that* ((omg I have to crash))
Isabel Ross (Jan 14, 2011 12:56:15 AM)
((holy cannolli! Go to bed!))
Aislinn Connelly (Jan 14, 2011 12:56:19 AM)
(yeah, it's late for you, and I should go soon)
Cas Brimley (Jan 14, 2011 12:56:57 AM)
((*tips over* thanks for the play ladies! Sleep well when ya get to it!))
