*Alex has jsut gotten out of the shower, padding around the house in a pair of shorts, looking absolutly bedraggled. His breathing is labored, and his arms and chest have been cut shallowly. THere are burns as well, nad his hair, despite teh shower is a little... Frizzy.*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 1:20:23 AM)
Jareth, being the more practical of the two, hadn't been using magic at all to smash these things. A hammer and a portable blowtorch did just about the same trick. All he had to do was wear safety goggles when crawling around the access areas. As a result his face was a little "sunburned" except where the goggles went. He'd taken a little less time than Alex had cleaning up, and was in the kitchen with some medical supplies by the time Alex got out.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 1:22:16 AM)
Seriously, next time the technonuts put something in the sewers, I say we just blow the city to hell, and rebuild from mud bricks. Does that sound like a plan to anyone else? *he settles into his comfy chair in the living room, runnign his fingers through his hair* That tazer made my hair stand up so badly, I don't know if it will ever lay down.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 1:24:47 AM)
He got out the aloe, and was dabbing his face, looking a little grumpy.. "Mud bricks sounds like a plan to me." Quietly said... aside from being exhausted.. he'd been quiet.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 1:27:08 AM)
*Alex runs his figners through his blood, rubing it into the more grevious of his wounds, accelerating their healing just a bit, deadening the pain, and he sighs shallowly* I think I have somethign growing in my lungs. Do we know anyone who has C-4, or can make C-4?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 1:28:06 AM)
"....C...4... " He frowned softly.. "What are we blowing up?"
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 1:28:48 AM)
The sewers, the city, Craig and Kaydence, and anyone else who gets in the way of fixing this damn problem.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 1:29:35 AM)
A bemused look for a moment, the blond shook his head slightly... then went to pack up the aloe. "You want a patch job?"
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 1:30:41 AM)
No, thank you though. I'm taking care of the worst of mine. Did I manage to catch all the shrapnel from the one that blew up?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 1:32:35 AM)
"I think you did... I didn't get anything but a little singed from it all.. I'll have sunburn for days." He stared at the supplies almost absently for about a minute, then shook himself out of it and packed things up neatly.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 1:34:21 AM)
I tried. I figure push come to shove, I can heal the gaping wounds in the field myself, and that leaves you less fecees related infections.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 1:36:09 AM)
A frown..... "I'd... rather you didn't get yourself killed on account of me. I'm not that useful." A sudden scowl, he let stuff be, and went digging in the fridge on some pretense of finding something to replenish some energy with.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 1:37:04 AM)
Bah... those little fire crackers wouldn't kill anyone, but the goddess only knows waht funky crotch rot? that... that will kill you. *he grins weakly*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 1:38:20 AM)
Cue some bitching in chinese, though it was mostly muttered. He finally came up with a can of cola he'd had hidden somewhere, and gets on tiptoes to start looking for the rum he had hid somewhere else.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 1:41:20 AM)
*alex starts a hacking cough, it sounds wet and painful, and he wipes his mouth leaving a faint trail of blood behind* Where on earth did you hide a soda? *he chuckles* Not that I regularly sweep for junk food or anything.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 1:42:09 AM)
"Not telling.. but there's only room for two of them in there... you want a rum and coke too?"
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 1:45:17 AM)
Save the coke, I'll take the rum. i know it's bad for me, but... *another round of coughing, a flash of pink foam in his mouth* Can't be worse than me working myself to death, can it?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 1:45:41 AM)
*AND!... his phone rings. Iiiiiits a smaaaalll world aaaaafter allll!*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 1:46:15 AM)
A deeper frown... "I'm going to sit on you if you don't rest."
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 1:46:43 AM)
This is me, resting... see? My feet are up and everything... *He bringes at the ring tone*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 1:47:35 AM)
In the meantime.... he sighs.. and goes looking for his stupid phone... looking about as happy as a grizzly bear in nettles. He answers irritatedly. "Hello??"
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 1:50:30 AM)
"Helllooooo?" Still irritated.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 1:50:37 AM)
*alex tries to stifle his coughing fit fit as Jareth is on the phone. He forces himself to his feet to get a tissue, pointedly not looking at the blood on it*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 1:52:09 AM)
(PS: 12/01/11 06:51:46 Alan ‘Jareth’ Lee rolls 6 dice vs. diff of 6 to Wits/Medicine: 5, 4, 8, 6, 5, 6 : 3 successes )
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 1:53:10 AM)
A faint sigh. He stops, eyes Alex. Listening to the phone, attempting to at least simulate patience. "Go on, Omega.. What do you need to ask?"
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 1:54:08 AM)
(( he clearly has a lung infection that he is trying to hold at bay. He probably inhaled some of those nasty fungus spores that will eventually leave your lungs the consistancy of taffeta streamers ))
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 1:57:40 AM)
*Havign cleared his lungs a little, Alex looks to Jareth* More trouble or a social call?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 1:57:57 AM)
".....a contractor... and you're calling me.. while putting out the fire." He just.. facepalms. "Look.. focus on that for a moment and I'll call you right back, okay?"
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 1:58:50 AM)
If we need to go, let me get my shoes. *His braod shoulders slack and then tense, hearing there is a fire. He starts coughing again, shiping at his mouth*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 2:01:02 AM)
He flips the phone shut, and walks over to Alex. If need be shoving him right back into the chair. "Stay put, Alex... I may not be the same sort of healer as Aislinn, but I'll be damned if I let this continue."
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 2:04:10 AM)
I'm fine. Untill my lung is physically outside of my chest, I can keep going. really, if there is some sort of trouble, You are going to have to go to some drastic lengths to stop me. Assume I promes a full twelve hours from now before I return to the sewers? Will you aquiesse?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 2:07:25 AM)
"Fuck no." A smile that wasn't the least apologetic. "If we didn't have a healer in the house, I'd confine you to bed for a week, and light work up until the coughing is completely gone. Stay put for the moment, Omega can handle herself.. I'll be right back." He turned about and headed up to his room.. as he did have a complete medical survival kit up there.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 2:08:51 AM)
The dangers facing us don't care about my frailties, Jareth, and they won't give me time for rest, so I will rest when the danger is past. *Jareth can hear him moving abotu the house, probably gettign ready to roll out again*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 2:11:15 AM)
He was mostly ignoring the zealot-esque stuff. And Sooner or late comes back down with what is the herbal equivalent of a major immune boost. Coming back down the stairs he calls out so wherever Alex is he can hear.. "The dangers facing us can wait ten minutes while I beat you over the head with some common sense!"
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 2:12:44 AM)
*dressed and ready to roll again* One, some of them can't. Two, Thick skull. Three, You know you can't talk me down. Four, my bike is faster than your feet.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 2:14:13 AM)
He just looks at Alex blandly, snags his hand, puts the capsules in it and gets him a drink of water. "You underestimate me, Alex, but lets not get into that."
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 2:15:41 AM)
*he takes the pills* I don't underestimate you, but I have seen what it takes to stop me, and I don't think you have that in you, especially since you are trying to save my life, not end it. Now... you play navigator. I'm driving. *he heads out to his bike*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 2:16:15 AM)
"Please don't drive like you're trying to kill us.. I can't direct when I lose my voice."
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 2:17:10 AM)
It's like I told my ex-wife, I never drive faster than I can see. *he smiles weakly, hoping on and starting it up*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 2:17:36 AM)
He dials her up, and when she answers.. "Alright, woman.. where are you, and do you need a hand?"
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 2:20:21 AM)
"Bad day, leave it at that for now."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 2:21:04 AM)
He gets on the bike behind Alex, still waiting on an address.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 2:21:58 AM)
*VroomVROOM!*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 2:24:54 AM)
"Hot pockets are generally not radioactive? Look.. my friend insists on coming to rescue you.. I told him you'd probably have it in hand, but.. you know.. he insists. So give me the address and we'll come see if you're alright?"
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 2:25:30 AM)
He looks every bit as bemused as he usually did listening to people he likes babble on.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 2:26:34 AM)
*alex at elasts gets the bike moving, heading in the genreal direction of town*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 2:30:37 AM)
(they're slow. >.>)
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 2:30:57 AM)
(( and if it's Omega, they are in OOC ))
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 2:31:05 AM)
(it is!)
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 2:31:21 AM)
(( Does Alex know this person? can I give them black lung? ))
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 2:31:24 AM)
He finally gets an address, and tells it to Alex.

Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 8:54:02 PM)
*Taking a day to rest, Alex has spent most of the day, lounging about, grazing on health food throughout the day, and reading comics for most of the day*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 8:56:42 PM)
Good thing too, Jareth had Reggie watching him, so he'd know if he tried to run off. This apparent day off was taking alot of the tension out of him. And thus.. he peeks in Alex's room while he's reading. "Hey, Batman..."
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 8:57:55 PM)
Hey Jareth. How's it going? *alex's cuts have disappeared, the other wounds from the exploding devices also gone, and it is obvious that he has spent a great deal of time thismorning soaking in Aislinn's tub.* I almost feel clean again.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 8:59:10 PM)
A bit of a bright grin.. "Good." He slips in, shuts the door, and meanders over to sit by him and lean over. Sniffsniff. "Good. You smell human too."
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 9:00:36 PM)
I know. It only took two baths and three showers to get that way. Jeez, I never want to go back into the sewers after this is over and done with. I can still sorta taste the sewers. *alex makes a face*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:01:35 PM)
"Ew." He makes a face too.. and leans on him, peering to see what comic he's reading. "I concurr. No more sewage systems for either of us when this is all over."
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 9:04:05 PM)
*Alex nods, he's reading some classic Avengers, just to pass the time.* If we could find a way to do this without getting muck covered, cut and catchign teh black death, I think we could get some more hands to help.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:05:45 PM)
"Probably... I mean.. I could try to get some spirits involved.. but.. most of the ones I deal with aren't interested in the city, and most especially in things like the sewage systems. And then there's the debts I'd incur doing it.." A faint sigh. "This priest stuff is a lot of work." A bemused smile.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 9:08:33 PM)
*he nods* PArt of why I am almost glad I was called to a warrior path. I mean the duties and responsabilties are still bitchy, but the limited scope almost makes up for it sometimes. *he closes the book, putting it back in the polybag.* I really hate having taken this time off from doing this, because I really don't want to go back in there, but I know I have to.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:12:14 PM)
He smiles a little bit, wanly.. reaches over and beeps him on the nose. "You can't protect Her children without being around to do it... S'what we're here to remind you of."
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 9:17:21 PM)
I know I can't protect my child if I work myself to death, but if I dont' work myself, then the technocrats can come in here and find my children. It's kind of a catch 22, and it just means that I need to push past my weaknesses, man up, and realize I can rest later when we're all safe.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:18:35 PM)
A soft chuckle.. "Or when the high priestess says, eh?" Smile, he nudges him.. "That's such a strange path to me."
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 9:20:26 PM)
What? Being a warrior, or following the orders of my priestess? *he nudges Jareth back*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:22:52 PM)
*Is he usually this sociable? Not at all. He's in one of those moods.* "Uh.. both. I.. I can't explain it. I think there's something I don't remember about my abilities that's different. Maybe just... I'm not sure. I'm used to conducting taoist ceremonies.. but.. if a spirit's involved. I can't always remember what happened. .......someone else is supposed to lead. But there's no one to do it."
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 9:25:06 PM)
*he nods* in most things there is a higherarchy, but it's more obvious in the more militant traditions and paths. You should have seen me before Aislinn accepted being my highpriestess. I was like a car with no one at the wheel.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:26:43 PM)
He nods... "I... don't know when exactly she did.. but I remember meeting you. Thought you felt like a bomb about to go off."
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 9:29:30 PM)
Evidentally, I still feel like that to people outside of the cabal. I've been meditating on this for a while, and I think it's because there is a difference between a warrior and a soldier, and I never should have been a soldier. I've been working on this, and I hope I can kind of get my ying and my yang going in the same direction, if you know what I mean.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:30:58 PM)
He nods... thinking on that for a moment.. "Yin... and yang will never go the same direction, but I understand. You're seeking balance." A pause.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 9:33:49 PM)
*Alex nods* you know what I mean. I... I was born to be a protector, a champion. I stand at the door and no one may enter, I stand on the bridge and no one may pass. Mine is the power that says no, and no further, and that is enough. But they needed me to be the agressive one. to go on the attack, and I... I am afraid I will be pushed back into that role.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:35:38 PM)
".........should that role not extend to those you call friend?" A hand put on his shoulder. "You do not need a blade to say No."
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 9:36:43 PM)
Ideally, in a perfect world, yes, it would be my job to stop freinds when they need stopping, and the blade, or the fact that the law of three doesn't apply to me should always be the absolute last resort.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:38:16 PM)
A soft smile. "Strive for your ideals, whatever they may be, and I am sure your Goddess will See it. That will eventually set your soul in balance."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:40:14 PM)
His phone beeps at him. He pulls it out, fiddles with it for a moment or so.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 9:40:26 PM)
From your lips to Her ears. Untill then... *he sighs* I'm working on balance. I am working on being that peaceful man I used to be, and I've even talked with Aislinn about perhaps... putting away my daggers forever.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:42:04 PM)
He hrmms at this, tilting his head. "That's an interesting idea, but how will you continue your role as the Jack?" Another look at his phone. "And what do you want for Dinner?"
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 9:42:43 PM)
How do you feel about pad thai?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:43:01 PM)
"Works for me." A smirk.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 9:44:53 PM)
I want mine thai hot. call that place that knows I'm serious about that, or are we going out?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:45:23 PM)
"She was offering takeout... which is fine by me. ...as is hot.' A grin.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:45:44 PM)
"Chicken or Shrimp?"
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 9:46:00 PM)
She who, Aislinn? *he perks up* Shrimp. *he grins* Tasty little bugs.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:46:42 PM)
"Yep."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:47:24 PM)
Fiddle fiddle with the phone. "So seriously. If you put them up, how will you do your job as Jack?" He pokes Alex, reminding him of the conversation point.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 9:48:58 PM)
*smiling broadly, then getting poked* Well, I may need to transition to another role. I don't know yet what my future holds, but I know I will never willingly become a soldier again. Guardian, yes, perhaps even become a teacher. There are so few who understand the Jack's path left these days someone needs to atleast write up a pamphlet.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:50:07 PM)
He chuckles.. "Fair enough."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:50:30 PM)
"Damn... I've learned more about this stuff just being around you guys than I ever thought I would.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 9:52:50 PM)
Normally, Jacks are a little less... noticable in their duties, but it's been so difficult for me to readjust back from the war that it's almost like I'm starting over again. I remember what to do. I can feel what I was supposed to be and where I should be now, but... It's like I just can't get there from here, you kow?

*Alex and Jareth ar ein Alex's man cave. He's been resting and recooperating today, which means he's bathed about five times to gett teh stink of the sewer off him, and hasn't progressed in dress past gym shorts. He is clearly physically drained, but he's been grazing healthily all day today and just taking it easy after his intensive labors.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:55:56 PM)
He nods... "I know the feeling. Backing away from the edge." He rubbed an eye, sitting on Alex's bed with him. "I'm sure you can get there.. but it's like rockclimbing.. you're going to slip a couple times."
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 9:56:52 PM)
(I'm giving it a bit since she has to pick up food, and I'm eating food)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 9:57:30 PM)
(no worries)
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 9:58:55 PM)
My anger has gotten better, but there are still so many triggers, so many things that just set me off. *he shakes his head* Like I know, I know it was -childish- of me to snap at Kaydence, but I only smelled like sewers because I'm trying to save lives here, and... *grumbles* Ok, I am hypersensative when it comes to people sugesting I am doing wrong by Aislinn, and I realize she probably doesn't even realize that Aislinn and I are... anythign to each other because neither of us is her, but... I took the bait. And I -know- better.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 10:00:22 PM)
A wan smile.. "Kay is like that. She's like a tornado, barges in, causes havok, barges right out, completely dropping everything she'd picked up, and completely heedless of the damage she may have caused."
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 10:01:01 PM)
And hey, a year ago, I would have jsut gutted her like a fish.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 10:01:06 PM)
I've made progress!
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 10:01:30 PM)
He nods... "Sometimes it's tempting, she presses buttons just because she can." An absent look off at nothing.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 10:03:57 PM)
::the sound of Aislinn's car entering the garage can be heard, the door going up. Audrey's already rustling at his spot downstairs, in excited anticipation:
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 10:05:19 PM)
She reminds me of someone I knew who was like that in the war. They at least had the common courtesy to draw sniper fire. Not intentionally mind you, but the end result was the same. *hearing Aislinn's aproach, Alex gets as excited as teh plant*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 10:05:42 PM)
He snerked.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 10:06:40 PM)
"One can wish." A bemused look, he doesn't go nuts at the sounds of Aislinn, but he is clearly amused by the excitement in the air between Audrey and Alex.

*Alex pops out of his man cave, knowing that the first helo my love usualy goes to audrey. He smiles, though he still looks rediculously pale for him and just ... run down. His eyes are brighter, and he is breathing far easier than he has in the past week.*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 10:15:29 PM)
An eyeroll, he stretches, flops on Alex's bed.. and picks up the comic to page through.. amused.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 10:17:40 PM)
::Aislinn is wrapped up in loving tendrils, as they caress over her, and she is smiling, the scent of the takeout starting to really go through the house. She is petting and caressing the tendrils right back, speaking softly in Gaelic to the plant, soft, soothing tones. She looks over, seeing Alex and she grins:: Hello, my love...
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 10:20:41 PM)
*he smiles* Second love, but loved still. You look radiant today, Banphrionsa. Here, let me take the food and get dinner ready while you give Audrey her fill of atention. *He's smiling with a bit more life, and his eyes -almost- look normal and bright.

And what am I getting in trouble for? I didn't actually cough up a lung, and as long as I ahd all the original parts inside me, I knew eventually I could put myself back together. Or... soemone else could, but really, after all the long hours I've been putting in, is anyone surprised I caught somethign horrific in the sewers?
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 10:28:11 PM)
No, I am not surprised. But what happens if something -did- happen. I'm glad it didn't, -but- that doesn't excuse your lack of care about your health. ::she frowns to him:: Are you better now, or do I need to look?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 10:30:38 PM)
(<.< don't wait on me)
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 10:30:41 PM)
I'm healing. I've checked, but if you want to give me a second opinion, I'll allow it. The colony is dead, I just haven't... cleared it all yet. And it's not like we have much of a choice. I have fewer responsabilities that are easily rescheduled, and I am willing to work as long as it takes to get this problem resolved, and it's not like outside of our cabal there are people falling over themselves to help us with this. I just have to... be stronger.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 10:31:59 PM)
And I can help with that... but.. please don't -make- me, -make- you rest. Because... I -will-

Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 10:32:26 PM)
(( Nah, I kinda like it there... It's all Darth Ailslinn.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 10:32:38 PM)
::she raises a brow to him:: I think I'll spend all day with it tomorrow. -You- can stay here and rest.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 10:33:10 PM)
*readreadread*
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 10:37:15 PM)
Aislinn, you know if you go out without me I won't be able to rest, staying here worrying about you. I rested today, and I will rest tomorrow, but... *he sighs* I haven't gotten to spend as much time as I would like to with you. As much as I worry about getting thier network down in time... If I am going to have to take a day off, I think it would be nice if I had some company. *he smiles, trying to use masculine wiles, and he's not certain how this will pan out, but it's worth giving it a shot to him*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 10:39:00 PM)
::she raises a brow:: Either... you will be with me tomorrow, or Jareth, and you will be here and rest. We'll see how it goes, okay? But... dinner and relaxing first. Jareth... are you coming for dinner?
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 10:41:20 PM)
*he nods* Your word is, as always, law, my love. *Alex moves to the kitchen, getting place settings for everyone down and prepping the table. Alex hates being scolded, especially when he diserves it, but he gets past it quickly, sitting down at his usual spot*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 10:41:35 PM)
"Food?" he called from Alex's room...and soon scrambled ot his feet to meander out.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 10:42:33 PM)
No... it would just be... a discussion. ::she sighs:: I don't want to -make- you... but you are so bloody stubborn some days. ::she smiles, calling to Jareth:: Yes, Jareth, food. ::she starts to bring dinner to the table, handing Alex his, Jareth his, put in his usual place, and she even got a small dish for herself::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 10:44:28 PM)
"Foooood...." A smile. Clearly he was just playing around, cuz he knew they were doing srs bsnss. He sat down, got food, and murmered a quick blessing of his own before nibbling on it.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 10:44:35 PM)
I can't help that I'm stubborn. I know there is more work to be done, and I can't stand seeing it not get done, so I will pick up as much as I possibly can. *Under the table he puts his hand on Aislinn's knee, squeezing it lovingly* I can't change who I am, and I can't change who everyone else is, but in the future, I will try to make you happier with my decisions.

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 10:45:40 PM)
(hiya izzie, less headache?)
Isabel Ross (Dec 1, 2011 10:45:50 PM)
((kinda. gonna try))
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 10:46:33 PM)
(there's Thai food in the house)
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 10:49:18 PM)
I understand that you and Jareth both disagree, and I am glad you value me as highly as you do. Really, it's kind of an odd thing to realize people will miss you if you don't come back from a mission. *he breaks into his super spicey shimp pad thai, doling it out with the chopsticks, and his eyes water slightly jsut from teh fumes* My dear sweet Goddess, that smells fantastic. An
Isabel Ross (Dec 1, 2011 10:49:40 PM)
((I want thai. :( ))
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 10:52:10 PM)
Jareth sort of giggles at Alex, and gets into his...
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 10:53:17 PM)
::she nibbles on her food, the spicy dinner was delicious, and she poked it with her chopsticks.:: Maybe if all three of us go... we can knock out quite a few. I can keep us all pumped for a long time..
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 10:54:08 PM)
*Alex begins scooping up bits of the flavorful pad thai, his face reddening from the spices* We could split up, cover a lot of ground at once, whipe out a few streets all at once. Poke some big holes in the map. *he nods, agreeing with Aislinn's assesment*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 10:55:35 PM)
"I don't know... those traps are kind of dangerous, especially with all that slush and muck in the access areas. I don't wanna drown because folks are too far away."
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 10:56:21 PM)
I think it might be best if we stay close... ::she nods:: Just in case something happens.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 10:57:17 PM)
*Alex nods* Speed comes with risk, and those buggers do get... angry. The plastic shrapnel doesn't cut deep, but bleeding in the sewers can't be a recipie for continued health. We stay together then.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 11:02:01 PM)
A wan smile... He munches his food and is generally content.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 11:03:31 PM)
*as he devours his food, under the table Alex playfully kicks Jareth's foot*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 11:03:59 PM)
He eyes Alex, then smirks.. and elbows him. "Goofball."
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 11:05:01 PM)
*Snickering as he is elbowed, and trying and failing miserably, as he is about as manipulative as your average turnip, to look innocent he offers Jareth a long, drawn out* Whaaaat?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 11:07:28 PM)
A chuckle.. "Nothing."
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 11:07:39 PM)
::she looks to the others:: So ... what else did you two get up to?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 11:08:08 PM)
"Went to see Omega..? .....her monkey was blowing up the microwave."
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 11:08:57 PM)
Never have I seen such a small creature cause sooo much havoc. *he shakes his head*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 11:10:55 PM)
::she raises a brow:: Why... was her monkey blowing up the microwave?
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 11:11:05 PM)
And wait until we have our daughter, love?
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 11:12:09 PM)
Explosive hot pockets. *he grins* Well, I was a very well behaved child. If it's a trouble maker, clearly she woudl get that from you, my Wee lil Beansidhe. *he says in his -terrible- accent*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 11:12:36 PM)
::she shakes her head:: I was a good girl... mostly...
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 11:13:08 PM)
He smirked faintly... "The monkey is intelligent.. and Omega lets it play with her superscience. It gets into trouble."
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 11:13:44 PM)
See, it's that "mostly" that makes me worry. I'm going to have to start child proofing in the next few days jsut to be sure it's all done in time to have the girl, won't I?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 11:15:53 PM)
*he chuckles*.. by the way...when are you two going to... you know... do that? ...... *he leaned on an elbow*
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 11:16:50 PM)
I have no idea. when the city is less... dangerous. And, I know my parents would prefer it if we didn't have the child out of some form of wedlock. *he looks to Aislinn to see if she has input*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 11:19:14 PM)
::she nods:: When Alex actually asks, and we agree on a date.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 11:20:26 PM)
A bemused smile, he nods to himself...
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 11:22:50 PM)
I'm still working on who I need to talk to about actually getting permission. My old mentor is ... squirley to get in touch with. *he grins* BUt I think I am making progress. I've even started making payments on the ing-ray *his last statement in a stage whisper to Jareth*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 11:23:31 PM)
I... will forget I heard that. ::said with a grin::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 11:24:00 PM)
Stage Whisper back. "Shhhhh... careful, with that, she might hear."
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 11:25:48 PM)
*looking over to Aislinn* It's not like I didn't tell you I had intended to spend the money from the DVD on such things. *he grins ear to ear* And I can't wait to see the look on your face.

He looks bemused, and eats... nomnomnom... he's hungry!
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 11:30:56 PM)
::she nudges Jareth:: You and Izzy will need to be there too...
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 11:31:45 PM)
*Alex smiles and finishes off his meal, having been starvign all day* Yes, they had better be there, especially because I will need a best man. *looking to Aislinn and asking deadpan* You think Izzy would do that for me?
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 11:32:24 PM)
I believe she will. ::nodding to him::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 11:34:59 PM)
Mrf... Gulp. Griiiiiiiiiiiin! But he said nothing. Though something naughty clearly went through his head.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 11:38:39 PM)
I think she would look good in a matching tuxedo with me, you know. Very posh. I jsut hope she's ok with me not wanting a cumberbund. I think the vests have more of a ninteen twenties gangster flair.

Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 11:42:04 PM)

Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 11:42:13 PM)
(( Are you reading me? ))
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 11:42:19 PM)
(I am)
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 11:42:51 PM)
What do you think Jareth, think I could talk Izzy into a tux? *a wry little smile on his face*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 11:43:13 PM)
"Possibly, but only if I can wear a dress."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 11:43:26 PM)
He stuck out his tongue, looking quite amused.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 11:44:24 PM)
*he chuckles* I'd just have to keep you away from my parents. Dad wouldn't understand, and Mom would want to ask you all sorts of questions.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 11:45:41 PM)
*He chuckles*... "20 questions does not scare me.. she'll just end up thinking i'm a fruitcake. Which, you know.. is fine by me."
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 11:46:41 PM)
::she grins:: It's true... you are a fruitcake. But she'd love you... if she can handle me, she'd love you.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 11:47:12 PM)
*he laughs* Mom would want to be all supportive of your life choice, you realize? Just... she might try to set you up with some single guys back home.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 11:52:11 PM)
A good natured snort. "I'm so not dating right now anyways."
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 1, 2011 11:52:28 PM)
::Ais laughed and she shook her head:: That... would be awesome to watch your mama and your dad to deal with this.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 11:53:18 PM)
A grin, but he munches food.
Alex Steele (Dec 1, 2011 11:53:47 PM)
Baring hooking you up, Mom would want to start some kind of gay pride parade right then and there with you. She may even still have her old trombone. *he shakes his head* (( But, aren't you dating Izzy? ))
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 1, 2011 11:55:59 PM)
He laughs, having to duck his head a moment... "Oh heavens... imagine me trying to explain I'm Bi.
