(okay, so ... whats the name of your spirit again?)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 4:42:04 AM)
(The crow's name is reginold.)
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 4:43:59 AM)
Reginold returns from his flying, all in all the poor bird looks exhausted. Feathers are out of whack and some of the luster in their feathers has been lost for the night, jareth pretty sure just looking at them that they'll be requiring payment for what they went through tonight. Hopping over towards Jareth and letting out a forlorn caw.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 4:45:00 AM)
(Heh.. poor guy.. )
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 4:48:13 AM)
A blink from Alan, and he'd raise a brow, but decide commenting would probably earn him a spiritual pecking. He'd been waiting for his return, sitting in the pavilion out behind avalon and carving on a mask, so of course he had the sight active. He spoke quietly to greet his little friend, in Mandarin.. as that was the language they "spoke to each other" in his mind anyways... "Hey Reggie.. " Holding out a hand for him to hop on... "What you got for me, love?" Hmm.. Yep. He's going to need a snack ahead of schedule here.
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 4:51:56 AM)
The crow hops over, a half hearted flight only for the short distance up to his hand and tilting his head to Jareth with a black beady eye. Waiting for him. "Busy busy. Much out there, much more, much more."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 4:55:34 AM)
Mind you, to anyone else, Jareth was a looney talking to himself and playing with his imaginary friends.. Which.. well yes. He was. Though the imaginary part was debatable, he was certainly nuts by most folks standards. Reggie was brought up and given a something of a subtle feather ruffle as Alan sat back and regarded his little friend. "I bet.. the whole city's in an uproar about things... sort of... and that's just this layer." It'd take him a minute to focus anyways.
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 4:58:11 AM)
Another caw and it pecks at its hand a little as though asking for food, some sustainance and from the lustre and condition its in, Jareth can really see why. Reggie isn't prone to being a glutton, whatever went out there, it needs sustainance. "Hard task, busy task. Good bird..."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 4:58:34 AM)
(heh.. workin on it.)
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 4:59:00 AM)
(yep, reggie is just impatient)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 4:59:48 AM)
(given the state of him, i cna't blame him.. heh.. kinda like that time he came back from buggin the storm spirits)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 5:02:20 AM)
He nodded, listening, and closed his eyes, making a centering gesture and squinting just a touch to push the energies farther than they should normally go, welling up through his hands a bit of his own personal chi forced out of himself and into his hands.. that were absently carressing the (invisible) bird.. seeping energy back into his plumage as Jareth himself faded... just a bit. (got 1sxx on heartsblood/spirit. >.> Lovely rote that. limited use, but still.)
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 5:06:20 AM)
Theres a caw of pleasure and the birds feathers become just a little more vibrant, moving to preen himself as he moves upon Jareths hand a little. "Better, thank you. Storm spirits, music spirits, ghosts, city spirits, dream spirits. Many not very happy with meddling crow that ask questions."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 5:08:58 AM)
A nod.. "Can you tell me about them? Maybe start with the dream spirits?.. I want to go talk to some of them myself.. if I can, but not if they'll hurt me.. "
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 5:10:31 AM)
"You not ask right questions Jareth." The glistening eye of the crow upon him and then its head waggles from side to side as if trying to decide on something. "Dangerous, but answers."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 5:13:46 AM)
That... got a faint smile out of him actually. "You know I want to know what's going on, never hurts to know who I'm getting the answers from, does it?" The smile widened a bit. "But If the wise crow says I ask not the right questions, perhaps he is right." (brb letting cat in)
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 5:15:39 AM)
The coy words which stroke Reggies ego make him let off a pleased caw and he flaps his wings for a moment before settling back down. "Reggie knows one of the right questions...."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 5:17:26 AM)
"And what is that question, oh wise one?" Still calm, quiet, though his dark eyes glittered intently as he watched his little winged friend.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 5:17:35 AM)
(back... silly cat got stuck outside somehow)
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 5:18:44 AM)
"Where are the spirits. Where oh where can they be..." Doing a little dance with his talons upon Jareths hands as it still is playing up on the ego boost with its playful manner and words.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 5:19:56 AM)
"Mmmm.... and where are they?" Well that was what he asked him to find, after all.. so it wasn't really all that surprising, and he just went along with it for now.
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 5:20:58 AM)
"All one place ... all active ... all busy ... all waking..." Hopping a little more and then moving up along Jareths arm before back to his hand, clearly feeling better now. "The French. The french."

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 5:31:03 AM)
"Hmm.. Then I've not far to go then, have I..." A moment's pause as he thought, still stroking his little friend's plumage when he allowed. "Can the oh-so-clever crow show me where I can speak to them, where people do not watch, and bad men do not come?"
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 5:34:23 AM)
"Where people no watch or people no care? People not make sense to Reggie. You are all so caught ... caught in trap. Spirits better, humans confusing." Tutting with little crow ticks at the back of its throat.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 5:40:13 AM)
A furrow of his brow.. well.. he couldn't expect miracles out of the little bird, but... "I know... if it helps People don't make sense to me either." Absently said, and he roused from his seat.. "I am hunted.. We are hunted... by those who want to make that trap stronger, harder. Not like us. It is those I worry for.. They would try to make me like them if they saw me, if they could catch me. Understand?"
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 5:41:59 AM)
A tilt of the birds head as it gazes at Jareth. "Reggie like Jareth, good to Reggie. Your shell safe here?" Tilting its head, then the distinctive bobs from side to side as it looks around as if to find the answer themselves.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 5:43:44 AM)
"......" He wasn't... completely sure of that. "I am not sure. They watch. Best not to let them see."
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 5:46:08 AM)
"If not safe here, move body somewhere safe inside? I find someone, or something for you, do job for you. Yes?"
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 5:48:40 AM)
"....." He wondered what precisely the crow meant by that, aside from getting his behind inside where it was safe for a trance, then it clicked and he gave a definate answer. "Yes. If you are willing." Since he was already up, he picked up his masks, and moved.. to head inside and up to his room. Possibly the safest place he knew.. for now anyways.
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 5:50:25 AM)
The bird leaves and is gone for a good length of time, more perhaps than he might've expected, perhaps believing that they weren't coming back. "Flicking through and in and gazing about the room. "Lie, close eyes. Good, yes, good Reggie."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 5:53:57 AM)
By the time Reggie returned he was half in trance already, waiting. Jareth of course had every faith his feathered friend would return. He always had, after all. A simple nod, and he did as requested, absently reflecting this could be a very bad idea.. of course, he didn't think Reggie would grab anything that would do him permanent damage... after all.. as stated, the bird was fond of him.
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 5:57:13 AM)
"Dream spirit ... dream spirit come, take you ..." And then Jareth feels it, the Chauchemar, or something akin to it, upon his chest, coming down and grinning - actually a beautiful young woman rather than any hag. Though the result is the same, she leans down, kissing him intently before starting to suck upon his lips, sucking his air from his lungs...
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 5:57:37 AM)
(*snickers mightily*)
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 5:57:56 AM)
(hmm?)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 5:58:06 AM)
(*Just amused!*)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 6:09:51 AM)
He managed to remain passive as the 'hag' drifted in and sat on him.. and... for now he did nothing, pushing himself a little deeper into trance. He couldn't -help- tensing just a little.. but... to be entirely honest he did not remember the last incident, so.. he wasn't nearly as freaked out by it as he could have been, though he'd cough once, yeah that made it.. well hard to breathe.
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 6:11:59 AM)
Whats surprising is that as the lungs are emptied she keeps sucking. Then a startling effect starts to be felt, Jareth feeling the very stuff of who and what he is being pulled, sucked, out of his mouth and into the spirit world and this very spirit. Why would Reggie let him be eaten? Indeed, though he might have difficulty seeing them, he can feel their presense nearby.

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 6:25:42 AM)
Jareth wouldn't at all be surprised if most of her victims fought her.. and he felt no compunction against stirring in his sleep to fight against her in at least a token effort as his lips whispered.. Let go.. Let.. To fight it fully or not.. He'd not heard of any deaths associated with the Hag.. and yet.. And he silently cursed his lack of mindspeech.. damned to the lowest hells for that lack.. He wanted an explination! Badly! ...Damned Crow.
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 6:28:32 AM)
He has an explanation moments later... his essense, his stuff pulled out from his body, -she- feels the last soft kiss to lips in the mortal realm and rising from the bed, a coy smile touching her lips. "You have your chance, use it or I will return to be your lover each night." Feeling control starting to slip to himself, or is it herself now, altogether not at all what they might've expected.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 6:33:59 AM)
A blink.. and momentary confusion until he caught his/herself.. and mentally gave himself a kick... "Lady be..." And.. after a nother moment.. "I.. Well... this is not what I was expecting. I am the Fox.. I hear you have wakened... as have the others.. Do you know what wakes you from your slumber?"
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 6:36:09 AM)
No reply, no reply at all. Feeling the spirit that they are now breathing and feeling desires that are attributed to the spirit - to find others who sleep and suck their breaths from them. Jareth feeling the new body smiling at the thought before realising what has occurred. The spirit has gifted their body to allow them travel. A potential for safety under a familiar guise to other spirits - though at the price of having many of her old desires and needs.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 6:36:50 AM)
(heee...)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 6:38:24 AM)
It still took him a moment to realize this, looking down at 'herself'... and then about for the Crow that was undoubtedly watching. He spoke again after a moment... 'Reginold.. would you lead?' The crow, after all.. was the one that knew where they were going.
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 6:41:24 AM)
Her voice comes out silky smooth, coaxing and that too is a touch of surprise. Reggie tilting their head and then starting to lead the nightmare hag spirit that Jareth has become out into the French quarters.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 6:43:54 AM)
Jareth, unsure whether she floated, flew, or walked everywhere, tried each as she moved, following the crow and sharpening her eyes to look around, and at least attempt to find what it is that has again woken the spirits of New Orleans..
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 6:46:56 AM)
Its hard to know what it is but as she saunters through the streets of the french quarter after her bird, a feeling of that of an old lover comes over Jareth, familiarity. This spirit has been around for quite some time. As they move further into the heart of the french quarter the amount of spiritual activity increase, overhead storm spirits flicker about as if waiting for something to claim. In many of the walls and alley's Jazz, blues spirits play. The area is alive with spirits.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 6:52:00 AM)
The curve of a smile across her lips at the music spirits.. that was a mystery he would leave to others, and so many others.. he kept walking after the crow for now.. unless he starts showing signs of hesitation in the glimpses she took of him. Jareth found the presence of the myriad spirits very comforting after the long silence and barren waste the technocracy had tried to make of this place.. the fools that they were.
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 6:54:29 AM)
As Jareth is standing there, coyly paused, she literally sees the birthing of a spirit, another of the nightmare witches slipping out of nothingness, stretching languidly and with a delighted laugh that springs to the air. Its contagious and something wonderous to behold, the birthing of a fellow sister. Something within Jareth feeling that ... they had been so few...

Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 7:04:14 AM)
(the reappearance of the sister spirit, feeling that not too long ago there had been few. A joyous event)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 7:06:34 AM)
A sensuous grin crossed her lips, and she laughed, doing a quick dance around the new sister in celebration.. Eyes catching on the feathered guide, and she soon purred.. 'Quickly, feathered one.. I do not want to be late.'The birth of a new spirit while joyous to some is troubling to others. THe Chauchemar, while not harmless, was less dangerous than others, like the Axemen... She did not want to think about that, because it put a certain urgency into what she was doing.
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 7:08:56 AM)
The bird spirit quirks its head at them, Reggie looking confused at her. "You say you want dream spirits, well dream spirits ... not understand what now you want boss .... lady?" As though uncertain quiet which. Meanwhile the spirit she had been dancing about smiles delightedly to her and then moves to lean in, kissing and opening her lips to her. Only to feel sisters do they share the air, rather than solely take.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 7:14:01 AM)
She just laughed at the bird, and returned the kiss, before twirling away, eyes closing for a moment or so.. perhaps lost in a momentary meditation as she took stock of everything she was. Poor confused birdie. Well.. she didn't need a guide, really, not to see those that spun and sang, and thundered above.
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 7:16:24 AM)
Its easy to lose herself to the pleasures and reasons for who and what she is. Though no source of pain or hurt felt within her, they do not - or she does not view what she does as harming to the mortals or those they take. That they might be harming them doesn't even cross her mind.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 7:19:15 AM)
(Hmm... as much as I would adore to continue this.. I am fading. Have you any suggestions before i have him head back?)
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 7:20:27 AM)
maybe having him submit again next time we meet up? That being said, the price of this, the chiminage is that hes stuck with the nightmares every night. Though he might actually start to enjoy them in some way - since it'll be her only each night.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Feb 5, 2011 7:21:16 AM)
(Heh... I kind of figured that would happen. And.. they're bound to be better than the chaotic sort of nightmares he has currently. There's a reason he always looks short of sleep.)
Tohunga (Feb 5, 2011 7:22:12 AM)
(yep. But you have a good start, the spirits are being reborn in the french quarter in particular. Most of the scenes done so far have been done in the french quarter, just no one ever noted these things down)
