Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 11:57:33 PM)
He just laughs.. because the idea of that is hilarious.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 11:58:00 PM)
That would be ... hilarious. ::she laughs:: Distract your Dad long enough... with that... less on us.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 11:58:50 PM)
"Oh goodness... if... if I need to distract, i can do that." He gave them a wink. "It will be your day anyways,
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 12:02:00 AM)
Oh, Dad and I are on much better terms after our last visit to the farm. Really, the only thing I am worried about is the million or so things I know I have to plan before then.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 12:04:53 AM)
"hm." He just smiles with a faint nod. "Millions and millions.. eh?"
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 12:07:05 AM)
Food, flowers, location, the officiator, date and time, decorations, invitations, the list goes on and on. *Alex seems overwhelmed for a moment as he lists all that.* Upside, I don't know if she'll say yes. *big grin*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 12:09:43 AM)
A snerk and a faint grin... "Really now.. " He shook his head faintly. "Silly man." His eyes lit over to Aislinn, amused.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 12:11:41 AM)
Mmm, it's true. I might refuse him. ::nodding, mock-sagely::
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 12:13:01 AM)
After all, she's vastly above my station. While Jacks aren't forbidden from marying, they almost certainly never mary a high priestess, or a princess for that matter. I'm certainly aiming high, and have a high probability of crashing and burning.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 12:14:23 AM)
::Ais blushes, poking around her remaining food::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 12:16:26 AM)
A bemused smile. "You two are too cute."
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 12:17:37 AM)
I am many things, Jareth, but I am prety sure cute isn't one of them. *looking to Aislinn* Tell him, tell him you don't think I'm cute.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 12:19:22 AM)
Actually, my love... you are utterly cute and adorable. I agree with Jareth. ::said with a grin::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 12:19:57 AM)
A snicker at this.
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 12:22:08 AM)
*Alex blushes, jaw dropping in defeat for a moment* No, I was cute when you gave me the bunny tail. Now, I'm jsut ruggedly handsome. *he nods sagely*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 12:23:07 AM)
Still chuckling... very amused. He takes a deep breath, and sighs it out.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 12:24:13 AM)
::she giggles and shakes her head::
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 12:25:31 AM)
I wonder what kind of bachelor party Izzy would through for me. Think she would plan it at the gun range? I wonder if we could rent one of those machine guns with the rotating barelles and fires like... a million bullets a second.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 12:27:23 AM)
"Probably expensive as all get out.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 12:27:31 AM)
::she nods:: I'm thinking so...
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 12:29:51 AM)
I have no doubt, but lets face it... It would be safer than a more typical bachelor party. I mean, according to hollywood, either a stripper dies, or the wedding turns into a train wreck.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 12:30:15 AM)
(brb, pee break, and I have to get a cat off me)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 12:30:45 AM)
He snerks.. Shaking his head. "Hollywood is awful."
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 12:33:24 AM)
But why would they lie to us? *he smiles and says in utter innocence*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 12:33:36 AM)
A snerk... "Not going there."
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 12:35:37 AM)
Besides, far far less chance of me getting filleted at a gun range. *he nods sagely* And besides, really, what do you even get out of a stripper?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 12:36:20 AM)
"I dunno... aside from the occasional hardon, it's pretty pointless."\
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 12:37:18 AM)
That was kinda my thought. Soem of the guys in my unit would try and get me to go, but really, I can have a hardon all by myself, and that doesn't come with a two drink minimum.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 12:38:39 AM)
A faint smirk... "Yeah."
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 12:40:00 AM)
::she facepalms::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 12:40:32 AM)
A biiiiig grin.. "Aiiislinn... We're guys. Remember?"
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 12:40:55 AM)
which is why it's kind of a 'duh', that you get them on your own
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 12:41:17 AM)
(got cold and needed to take meds)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 12:41:24 AM)
(Ah.)
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 12:41:27 AM)
*seeing her face palm* Oh, and don't think jsut becasue I don't see the point in strippers that means you can't have some guy at your bachelorette party. I mean, I know lots of guys at the gym that would kill to dance for you. *he flashes her a big grin*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 12:41:30 AM)
(I'm actually fading)
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 12:41:47 AM)
::she giggles:: I have no idea why, Alex.
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 12:42:29 AM)
Because you are hot, and they are young, and would hope to entice you away from me. They don't know better yet. they'll grow up.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 12:43:47 AM)
(*flails, hugs you both*)
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 12:43:54 AM)
(hugs)
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 12:44:24 AM)
Why is it they think they'd entice me away? I haven't been interested in them at any other function or visit to your work.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 12:45:10 AM)
(I need sleep.) "Anyways.. folks.. you two talk that out." He winked.. "I'm going to go wheel and deal a little.. I have a feeling I'm going to need the help in the near future." Getting up and washing his silverware.
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 12:46:16 AM)
Take care, Jareth. rest up and we'll see you tomorrow. *He turns to Aislinn, Yes, but they think they could have a chance becasue you haven't seen them naked. *he grins* Ahh youth.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 12:47:13 AM)
Naked? What does that have to do with it?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 12:47:48 AM)

Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 12:49:31 AM)
Don't they realize... that you must if we're together?
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 12:50:54 AM)
*he laughs* I didn't say they were smart. BUt they are fit, generaly considdered atractive, and would be willing if you wanted that sort of thing, My love.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 12:51:23 AM)
Mmmm, I wonder... -do- I want that sort of thing? ::mock-thinking::
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 12:52:52 AM)
You and Jareth can have fun with that... *he leans over and kisses her* I trust you, Banphrionsa. Hell, hire ten or twelve, if you really want. Just... be happy, and know that I have absolute faith in what we have.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 12:53:21 AM)

*alex comes home after his eventful outing at the chantry. He is tired, and clearly upset. his muscles tense and cord as he comes inside, looking around to see the tale tell signs of if Aislinn is home. He looks a little out of things, and deeply concerned about life in general. Also, someone has been using magic on him.*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 10:42:28 PM)
::Aislinn is in the basement, and she's working with her seedlings, making sure that she takes care of them and grows and nutures them. Audrey is.. bored, and his limbs and tendrils are sprawled in the house, listless, as he waits for more attention from Aislinn, tendrils sprawled up her legs and curling around him. He can see her car is in the garage, the house is warm, and Audrey is sprawled on the floor in the upstairs. Very likely.. she's home::

::Audrey's tendrils curl around Alex and love on him, insomuch as a plant can be loving. She calls back:: I am! Down working with the little seedlings.. ::she is standing near the seedlings, and she reaches a hand down, brushing fingers through his hair soothingly while she's working, speaking softly:: Hey love.... how are you? ::she stops watering as she crouches down next to him, kissing his temple softly::
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 10:55:02 PM)
Not good. Evidentally... I "embarassed" Keevy becasue of how I show difference to you, and that should matter to me, and then... This... Caleb guy... seemed to know you, called you flip flops... I felt him reach into me... shut down my adrenal system... turn on my dopamine ducts... couldn't stop him. *he shakes his head* Is... Is it too late to join the technocracy? Are they recruiting now, you think? *he leans into her touch, sighing, feelign a heavy burden, and clearly doubting why he's trying to save this city full of idiots*
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 10:56:13 PM)
*Alex's phone chimes, and he pokes at it*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 10:57:39 PM)
::she raises a brow and she kisses his forehead again:: Keevy...is an idiot. I don't... -make- you show deference. Nor would I. She's silly, ignore her issues. As for Caleb, yes, I believe I've met him before... and why did he do that? ::she frowns even as she slips her hands against him, banishing the effects, wanting him to feel like himself::
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 11:00:56 PM)
*Alex's phone chirps again, responding and accepts her kiss. He feels so much better once the magic is removed from him.* Because I don't like being told I'm not a man, and I'm a freak because of my behavior towards you. I very calmy... though I was angry on the inside... told Keevy to keep a civil tongue in her head and not speak on matters she doesn't understand. I was then told what an embarassment I was, and she wanted to get in my face telling me I had lost control. I very calmly told her if I hadd lost control, she would have known it. Then Caled lit up a joint and shut down my adrenal system.

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 11:04:00 PM)
*Eeeeeeeeeeeeventually he comes in the front door. Closes it, relocks.. and (humming) meanders over to the table to start pulling food out of the cooler. Local Fish, Lemmon pepper.. simple fare, but tasty.
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 11:04:56 PM)
I don't either... but... they don't have buisness commenting on it, or chastising me about how I treat you. I jsut want people to... be civil. I know that is a lot to ask, but less face it, a year ago, I would have been in a better mood, and she would have been a smoking corpse. I don't comment on other people's private lives, and I don't exert my will on others. But if that's what people want, then maybe, I just need to stab someone so they know not to keep poking at me. And I -really- hate having magic used on me by people I -just- met.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 11:06:32 PM)
Now... do you want me to go and talk to them? I don't know why they care. It's not their business. I don't demand it of you. ::she shrugs:: Love, people are able to poke you about it and upset you, because you let them upset you. Don't let them upset you.... really, Alex. It's not worth it.

If you think you can get anything resembling wisdom through their skulls, be my guest. In the mean time... *he sighs* We are safe, and it's getting harder and harder to care about anyone else's safety. *If Aislinn is in his mind there is a brief, momentary flash of being willing to sell out a few mages to buy his family's safety* I suppose you are right, common sense and decency is a bit too much to ask for. And... I treat you the way I do becasue that's how I -want- to treat you. To show you respect... love. Dark Father, I mean... Have I ever once said anythign about anyone's personal life?

Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 11:17:16 PM)
No, you haven't. But... it sounds like they are trying to get your... goat. You have to rise above it, love. That's all. Don't let them poke the bear. Just... take in a breath. Maybe... we should work on mental exercises to help that? I'll help. And just.. explain that it's your business and you don't want to discuss it. Leave it at that. That's all ... ::she kisses his temple::

Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 11:20:34 PM)
Either that, Or I should jsut... stay away from people. Or... you could just... gut my emotions. *He rises to his feet* I hear people up stairs. We should... I should try and be sociable. *Alex tries to smile, but he just feels... sad for the rest of the world* I adore you Aislinn, and the only person I worry about embarassing is myself... and you. I don't hink you -can- embarass Jareth. *he smiles weakly*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 11:23:17 PM)
Jareth goes to let her in.\
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 11:23:24 PM)
::she shakes her head:: You keep telling me -I- can't stay away from people, no double standard. ::she nods a bit:: Let's get to upstairs and say 'hello'... ::she kisses him softly, and then laughs:: Oh yes... you can. It's not easy. Not even remotely... it's a challenge. But... yes... you can.

Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 11:25:59 PM)
I'm willing to let you be a hermit if it measn I can be a hermit, too. No double standard that way. *he takes her hand, giving it a squeeze and returns the kiss tenderly before he makes his way upstairs. He's tired, he's frazzeled, And he jsut seems... Not really his old self, and not entirely a better self.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 11:34:03 PM)
::she laughs and she shakes her head:: I dont' think Jareth and Izzy will allow that... ::following him upstairs, Audrey's tendrils on the ground moving to poke Jareth's tummy lightly, even as another moves up, and appears to wave at Izzy, not wanting to touch her unless allowed::
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 11:36:16 PM)
I would point out we are bigger and meaner then they are, and it's less a question of what they would allow, and more one of what they can compel. *Alex almost sounds like his old self, working up a smile as he lets Aislinn's hand go to move to his seat at the table.* THough I should let you know, Jareth, I am officially done working myself to death in the sewers.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 11:36:52 PM)
"Good to see you." Happy smile from Jareth.. and he peers at the vine.. pokes it back. And goes back to cooking. He smiles at Alex. "Good."

Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 11:39:50 PM)
Would you still say that if you knew it was because at this point, I really wish there were more than three people worth doing that for in all of New Orleans? *he flashes a charming smile, or what passes for one and looks back to the food being cooked, before looking over to Izzy.* How's life treating you, Montoya?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 11:40:45 PM)
Well actually the food's already cooked, he cooked it at the Chantry, and was now just reheating some rice to go with it.

Isabel Ross (Dec 2, 2011 11:41:47 PM)

Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 11:42:33 PM)
Because the only organization they diserve will be handed out by the nice gentlemen with the black suits, black hats, reflective sunglasses, and the flashy memory wiping things? *back to Izzy* Izzy, do you have a membership at a shooting range?
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 11:42:47 PM)
::she grins and shakes her head:: They are what we have.. it's that simple. ::she relaxes back as she leans against the counter, petting the tendrils as they followed her:: So.. what's the solution... can't work with them... but... what do we do without them...?
Isabel Ross (Dec 2, 2011 11:43:12 PM)
Of course. Why?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 11:43:34 PM)

Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 11:44:48 PM)
*to Aislinn* Execute plan C-4, then build a new city above sea level out of mud bricks and thatched roofs, creating the perfect pagan utopia? *Back to Izzy* Do they have a way to let you ... bring a guest, or a trial membership or something? I... I would like to learn to use firearms in a more structured method than "Oh god, Oh god, here they come! Make them stop!" *he flashes her a big grin*

Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 11:49:16 PM)

Isabel Ross (Dec 2, 2011 11:50:10 PM)
No. I think you need to be aware of it.
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 11:51:23 PM)
It's... kinda hard -not- for me to be aware of it. *his voice gets quiet* I really hate grocery shopping cause kids all start.. crying... around me.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 2, 2011 11:51:43 PM)
Jareth sits down, to murmer a blessing to himself, and starts eating. Because he's hungry, and he caught the fish, dammit. He was going to eat it.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 2, 2011 11:55:27 PM)
::Aislinn just listens, cognizant of what was being discussed and she reached fingers, nabbing a small piece of fish from Jareth's plate::
Alex Steele (Dec 2, 2011 11:56:35 PM)
*alex takes a helthy sized portion of fish for himself, and a nice big pile of rice, and eats, still attempting to be smaller and failing* How bad, scale of one to ten do you think that would make it for me at the accademy... or the gun range... the gun range may be a better question to ask. I'd really hate to get shot again.
