It would take a powerful collective force to do such a thing, even once we'd found out how... only that's jumping ahead. First we -must- discover how.

Anthony S Barajas (Oct 30, 2011 11:59:49 PM)
And not the how of destruction, but of creation. Do you see, Aideen? It still exists; we can feel it. Yet we can not find our once-brethren. The Shining Host, the victors, they are gone. Even God himself is absent....either we are no longer capable of feeling them as we once were.... or they are gone. And yet the prison still exists; why and how? I have theories of course, but no opportunity for research. And in truth it is work that I have trepidations about; I've no desire to approach the thing, not with freedom so recent.

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 12:03:11 AM)
*She turns towards him at that and he can see a flicker of that burning excitement in her eyes, the drive and passions that went beyond mortal ability to understand or feel, that need for ultimate freedom of a timeless being denied far too much for far too long.* We could begin small Anthony. I have access to all the books at the university library, once they are devoured we could search the world for ancient tomes, glimmers of knowledge. The host did not leave immediately, we -know- that for they stayed long enough to pervert our history. There must be clues to the secrets of the Abyss locked away in the history and hidden places of this world. We could find those clies.

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 12:03:16 AM)
(um clues even)

Anthony S Barajas (Oct 31, 2011 12:05:15 AM)
It's possible, of course. *A small smile as he pulls her up closer, so that she might properly gaze down at him and converse* I doubt that we will find anything of substance in the libraries, but we may find mention of other places that hold that knowledge.... or more likely, other people.

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 12:09:20 AM)
*Her hands coming to rest upon his shoulders she looks down into his eyes, laying upon him, her hair falling over her left shoulder to pool against his chest.* I have heard whispers that some ancient places still exist, untouched and -filled- with secret knowledge. There could be whole library's there, if we could only find them.

Anthony S Barajas (Oct 31, 2011 12:10:17 AM)
Do I look like Indiana Jones to you... *A flicker of humor dancing in his eyes as he smiles up at her*

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 12:10:46 AM)
*She grins at that and raises a hand to ruffle his hair.* I don't know, I'm going to bet you already have the whip somewhere and I could get you a hat?

Anthony S Barajas (Oct 31, 2011 12:12:15 AM)
Well you might be right about the whip... and I ~do~ look good in a hat... *he murmurs. As she glances down at his dishevelled hair, she realizes that's the first time she's actually seen his hair not perfectly placed. Apparently it ~is~ possible to ruffle it, but it takes some effort*

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 12:13:13 AM)
*She smiles a gentle expression, that takes in his ruffled hair before sliding down to his eyes.* I like you like this.

Anthony S Barajas (Oct 31, 2011 12:18:51 AM)
Oh yeah? That brings to mind just two questions. What exactly do you mean by 'like this', and does that mean you didn't like me before/

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 12:22:19 AM)
I mean. *She tilts her head to the side as she considers the right words, fingertips absently smoothing his hair back a little away from his forehead.* Honest, real, not that pretend person wrapped up in all that ego that stomps around like a caricature trying to find a way to infuriate or offend me. You spent a lot of time doing that, trying to force me to lose my temper and run away from you. Even then though it wasn't that I didn't like you, I just... well I couldn't take you seriously. How -could- I?

Anthony S Barajas (Oct 31, 2011 12:26:29 AM)
How can anyone, hmm? I'm no one of consequence, a caricature to smile at, and laugh behind his back, doesn't that sum me up properly? *A faint smile as he shakes his head* You almost forget about the man, let alone the Devil within hi skin.

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 12:28:51 AM)
No. *She shakes her head a little, her hand dropping down to his shoulder as she continues to look into his eyes.* There was more than that, I could sense it hidden there. It was why Anthony tried to push me away from him as far as possible, I think he feared that I'd see what lay hidden there. Only I could never reach him, I don't think I ever would have been able to.

Anthony S Barajas (Oct 31, 2011 12:31:26 AM)
You might have, in time. But such an attempt would have required time; and an investment beyond your ability perhaps. Anthony had a love of broken things; and you were not, so he perhaps instinctively kept you at bay.

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 12:33:36 AM)
*She watches him curiously, that strange paradox within them once more rising up to confuse her mind.* Do you like him?

Anthony S Barajas (Oct 31, 2011 12:42:00 AM)
Do I like him? I don't know if like is the word. I admire him in a way, and much of us mesh together properly. He had an approach to life that I can appreciate, and a strength that he kept hidden. He was a street rat, did you know that? Your friend Chris might be surprised to find that out, though I'd rather he didn't. His mother a whore his father a... *he shrugs* But in any case, he was the essence of a self-made man, even if he wished to forget his roots. And I can appreciate any devil-may-care attitude as well as someone that looks to the future and forgets the past. That is, after all, what stretches before us.

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 12:44:17 AM)
*Shifting once more she turns to lay her back against his chest, her head titling to the side as she lays her cheek upon his shoulder and flicks her eyes up to the stars above.* No, don't stop. Tell me about Hastur, I want to know. He spoke to me about it briefly once, just gave me the smallest glimpse. He told me about his uncle being arrested, his sister lost to drugs, but I never heard him mention his mother or his father.

Anthony S Barajas (Oct 31, 2011 12:45:58 AM)
His father was a drunk, and when things were particularly bad, would rape his sister. Though his memories of it are scarce, he was young and hid from the worst of it.

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 12:47:37 AM)
*She nods, absently drawing his arm around her once more as her eyes continue to watch the stars above.* They cannot be allowed to continue as they are Hastur. They cannot.

Anthony S Barajas (Oct 31, 2011 12:51:35 AM)
Perhaps not, but we are in no position to dictate terms; at least not yet. War will shatter the world, Aideen. And I do not say that to dissuade you, just prepare you.

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 12:53:25 AM)
I don't know how, and I don't know when... but one day this world will be ours again and everything broken and stained will be swept away to make room for the rebirth. *She smiled a little pausing as she realised what she'd said.* I shouldn't say things like that, it frightens others of our kind to hear it spoken.

Anthony S Barajas (Oct 31, 2011 12:56:15 AM)
You will never frighten me with change, love, don't you remember? *shaking his head* If anything I should take care to avoid frightening you. But one day, perhaps, your vision will be realized.

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 12:58:34 AM)
I remember so little. *She speaks softly, almost a whisper.* Odd shadowy reflections, images, moments that don't make sense. More feelings that I can't explain. Like lying here with you and -knowing- deeply and inexplicably and completely that I can trust you, that I have nothing to fear from you and not having the slightest idea of why.

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 1:00:53 AM)
(brb!)

Anthony S Barajas (Oct 31, 2011 1:02:01 AM)
Well don't believe your feelings, Aideen. I'm a dangerous and capricious man, liable to leap from a cliff at a moment's notice and take you plummeting to earth with me.

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 1:03:58 AM)
Yes. *She turns her face to the side so that she can look at his profile.* But you would carry me to safety at the last moment Hastur, wouldn't you?

Anthony S Barajas (Oct 31, 2011 1:06:27 AM)
If safety exists, perhaps. Have you remembered how to fly? I thought we all had, but I've seen a few of the fallen that are still locked within the lands grasp.

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 1:07:45 AM)
I can after a fashion, but not ... not in the way that you should me you could.

Anthony S Barajas (Oct 31, 2011 1:10:31 AM)
Would you like to? *glancing at her with a smile* Cliffs are good for something, after all, and this way I can hum 'A Whole New World' as we fly.

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 1:12:16 AM)
*She smiles and sits up slipping off the car so that she stands upon her feet once more, her hand reaching out to either help him or call him to her.* Like too? I intended to from the moment you put the thought into my mind.

Anthony S Barajas (Oct 31, 2011 1:15:06 AM)
You should try it naked.... *is all he says, as he suddenly bursts into flames; The wings of fire surrounding him in a fiery halo. His mien shifts to that unknowable bronze perfection and he lifts her in his arms, leaping off the roof of the car and charging towards the edge of the cliff, hurling the two of them into space.*

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 1:16:29 AM)
*Her eyes sweep over him for a moment before her attention is torn away and she smiles as she shifts her attention to the empty space that appears over the edge of the cliff, the air seeming to rapidly approach them. Leaning closer she whispers in his ear, a hint of mischief in her voice.* Lets fall for a little first.

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 1:18:04 AM)
(brb)

Anthony S Barajas (Oct 31, 2011 1:22:45 AM)
*he can only grin at that; because he had intended to do that in any case. They drop like stone, and it is only as the ground looms large before them that his wings spread wide and with a single mighty beat, launch them up towards the sky, ascending meteorically above the ground; a blazing star burning low in the sky*

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 1:26:21 AM)
*Her head falls backwards as they swoop high up into the sky and he hears her laughter echoing on the wind around him. He couldn't be sure when it happened or exactly how but he found himself holding that perfect figure of beauty, the wood nymph of nature that was Aideen and her voice seemed to float back to him on the breeze itself.* I told you that you wouldn't let me fall.

Anthony S Barajas (Oct 31, 2011 1:30:58 AM)
I should have... *but his words are as laughter on the wind; and he soars ever higher, headed out towards sea, his wings flickering a trail of flame along the sky. Perhaps he seems to be a rocket of sorts, to humans gazing upwards at the night sky*

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 1:32:25 AM)
(Good place to leave it since I have to run?)

Anthony S Barajas (Oct 31, 2011 1:36:00 AM)
(Yeah, that's why I took it this direction)

Paige Villawood (Oct 31, 2011 1:37:05 AM)
(*hugs and runs off*)
