All Jacks are warriors, not all warriors are Jacks. It's... who I fight, why I fight... what I protect. But... I swear these people want a HITmark that just looks like me. and honestly... While I may not be made of metal and circuits... I have it in me to be that cold... that souless. I have been it before, but the problem with those weapons is... when you give them the ability to aquire their own targets... Well... that gets messy fast.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:07:14 AM)
".......'these people'... " A snort. "I'm sorry, Alex. 'These People' want the promised land handed to them on a silver platter, and get snippy with everyone who works for a living or fights for a cause. I actually hate this town. I stay because I love you guys. You're worth it."
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 12:09:19 AM)
They want me to hand it to them. It's been almost a year since I have -wanted- to kill a person. I find myself wanting that again.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:11:23 AM)
"Don't let them manipulate you.. They want something, they don't get it free. We're not morally obligated to help assholes with their problems. Even if those problems might just concern us in the long run."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:11:36 AM)
He is..well.. bristling a bit.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 12:13:08 AM)
Keevy thinks she can order me... She is -not- my high priestess. If she wants my help with what JestR asked of her... there will be a high price. SHe claims to be a witch... She will have to pay a premium in blood. *his voice is dark, and his aura flares agitatedly*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 12:15:29 AM)
No one can order you. Even as your priestess... I can ask.. but you -always- have a choice to fulfill the request.. or not. ::said quietly::
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 12:18:13 AM)
She tried to cow me, to intimidate me like some child. Even you have never done that to me. I just... *he sighs, and looks to Aislinn* I can't help these people. Not without destroying who I am... becoming the soldier again. Just... breathign the same air as them makes me want to become that again.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:18:58 AM)
A wry smile. "It's horrible of me to say 'Then don't help them.' ....isn't it?"
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 12:20:44 AM)
*he sighs* But then they won't lift a finger, and my love, my friends, and my family are put in danger, so I have to save them by proxy. I really think people would leave me the hell alone if I could just kill one of them. Or hell, even just... maim them a little. Not bad... but like... on their face.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 12:23:13 AM)
They won't lift a finger regardless. . ::she shakes her head:: if they want your help, they need to -ask-. Politely.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:23:40 AM)
"Asking isn't enough, anyone can fake being polite."
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 12:24:35 AM)
I'm thinking a hand might be worth it for me to help. If they won't lift a finger what do they need a hand for? *Alex bristles*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:25:18 AM)
A vague smirk.. "But then they could only ever ask you two favors."
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 12:26:05 AM)
If they have other bits they are willing to give up... Eyes... ears... feet. How much help do they really need. *He smirks* Upside... they get handicap parking tags.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 12:26:44 AM)
::Aislinn slides omelets on plates with toast for the boys, declining to eat tonight::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:27:03 AM)
A soft chuckle.. "Now there's a grisly procession.' He goes to sit down.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 12:28:09 AM)
*Alex takes his omlette, and forks at it, stirring bits* Aislinn... if you don't mind, I would really appreciate it if you... And I can't belive I have to put it this way...tell people if they can't say nice things to me, to keep their mouths shut?
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 12:30:15 AM)
::she raises a brow:: Who... exactly... did you want me to ask this of?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:31:20 AM)
"........" Ponders popping Kay in the mouth next time she opens it.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:31:27 AM)
Looks pleased by this thought.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 12:31:30 AM)
All of them. Any you think will actually listen. My one fear is then they wait untill you aren't around and then Alex had to go get his Priestess to solve the problems becasue he can't fix them himself. *he shakes his head* Why do I leave the house... like... ever.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:35:09 AM)
"Same reason I do.. Being cooped up sucks."
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 12:35:46 AM)
I will see what I can do, love. We'll work on mental exercises...
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 12:35:54 AM)
Nah... I have comic books. And Aislinn. *he grins* I can find many things to keep me occupied in here. *he forks up more omlette*
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 12:37:16 AM)
*he reaxches out to hold Aislinn's hand* Some day... someday I won't be broken any more. I'm trying. I'm working on it as hard as I can. *From the tone of his voice he feels like he has failed Aislinn.*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 12:37:42 AM)
Because... you can't stay cooped up here. Just like you people won't let me bury myself in the basement for weeks on end to experiment... and won't let me ... so you guys can't either.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:37:53 AM)
Eventually, after staring at the food for awhile, he actually eats it.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 12:38:25 AM)
I can change my stance on you staying in the basement if it means I get to stay home too. *he smiles, weakly, but it's humor*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 12:38:40 AM)
::the food doesn't look toxic or poisonous, but you never know with Ais::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:38:52 AM)

(( *takes a bite and suddenly dies of stage for cancer of the left nut, ebola, and the black plague* ))

(only on an uncreative day)
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:40:58 AM)
(*snicker*)
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 12:40:59 AM)
*He eats his omlette, his appetite returning a little*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:42:13 AM)
"Hey we're all a work in progress."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:42:54 AM)
He gave them a wink.. "I doubt I'm ever going to be a model citizen, though."
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 12:43:33 AM)
Yes... but there is "not a model citizen," and "Bordering on becomign a serial killer." I think Aislinn could forgive you, but not me.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 12:45:56 AM)
Depends. I'm sure some people would see what Iv'e done before as me being a serial killer. I'm sure of it. ::she frowns a bit:: But... I am strong and confident in my own reasons as to why I did what I did.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:46:09 AM)
He snorts..."You are not a psychopath, you have anger issues. You're the bear that takes a swipe when poked, you don't go out of your way to hunt down people who've done you no wrong, no matter what you think."
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 12:47:03 AM)
I blew up a building with over three hundred innocent lives in it... and I'm not seeing innocent people who need my help any more. I'm seeing mewling children that need a slap in teh mouth to shut them up.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:48:06 AM)
"I know that. I don't know what happened there, but what I know of you says you're not a psychopath. This city's full of children."
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 12:49:00 AM)
You've seen a HITmark, yes? *looking to Jareth, knowing Aislinn ahs heard this story.*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 12:49:05 AM)
::she nods and frowns a bit, shaking her head::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:49:26 AM)
"Uh.. once that I can remember. When you got your butt tazered."
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 12:49:53 AM)
Have you seen the transformers? Either the movies, the cartoon, the comics... anything?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:50:08 AM)
"Uh.. vaguely. Yeah."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:50:33 AM)
"Probably saw some of the cartoon at some point."
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 12:52:32 AM)
Take Megatron... cross that with a HITmark. They were building that monstrosity. THey activated it. It was going to kill my squad and do god knows what to the rest of the war. It was being built under an automotive factory. I was the tie breaking vote. We dropped the factory on it. Killing everyone in it.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 12:56:11 AM)
A deep frown. He mutters something in chinese.. and shook his head.. "If you were the tiebreaking vote, that means you weren't the only one who voted that way. ....and that -still- doesn't make you a psychopath.... that makes you a soldier with blood on his conscience."
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 12:58:47 AM)
I wasn't the only one, but I made the call. And I slept like a baby that night. I dont' want to be that person again, but... Heaven help me I just want to flatten all of New Orleans and... start over. I -know- it's the frustration I feel talking... but untill something changes, I don't see myself getting any better.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 1:03:00 AM)
He just makes a gesture. "If it wasn't for the Sleepers, I'd agree with you. The awakened of this town tend to disgust me." A sigh. "They've no collective cause to fight for, and any flag raised seems to become another thing to squabble over."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 1:03:26 AM)
"I just.... I don't know how to fix that. I tried. I'm not Ghandi."
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 1:04:23 AM)
I can work on a plague to wipe the others out? ::perking a brow with a grin::
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:05:43 AM)
You don't have to kill them... You could jsut... make them civil. Or subservient. *Alex lights up* Aislinn... if you made a zombie plague so I could go fight the zombies... that would be the best. Present. Ever! *like a kid he is gleeful at the idea of a real live zombie plague*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 1:06:14 AM)
A soft laugh... "Oh.. please... as long as it ruins their complexion first..." He sips his drink... "I'm a fox.. I could start pranking them.. but I don't know if any of them are smart enough to learn anything."
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 1:06:54 AM)
They didn't learn anything when I tried...
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 1:06:57 AM)
::shaking her head::
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:07:55 AM)
That depends on how much C4 you use in the pranks. I think maybe 16 oz would be a lesson they would understand... so back to the zombies... I much prefer shamblers to the undead that seem to learn parkour while they are coming back to eat our brains.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:12:03 AM)
*Alex suddenly has an idea, and he is thinking loud enough that even Jareth can hear it... -That- is the perfect bachelor party for him... his very own Zombie apocalypse*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 1:15:06 AM)
(*about dies laughing* <3)
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 1:15:30 AM)
::Aislinn just... blinks... and stares at Alex for a moment, in disbelief::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 1:15:35 AM)
Just a grin at this... "I don't tend to use C4.. I don't know how it works."
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:16:46 AM)
You just stick the blasting cap in it and it's good to go. Also, it;s like play dough, so you can make it into cute bunnies before you blow someone to hell. *he looks at Aislinn* What? Fighting ZOMBIES! What could be better than that!
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:17:31 AM)
Would you prefer I get a stripper and drink till I black out? Zombies are good clean fun!
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 1:17:50 AM)
"Zombies...." He blinks... and then giggles. Yes. Giggles.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 1:18:49 AM)
::she blinks and then, shakes her head as she just grins::
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:20:21 AM)
*Alex has found a happy place* Come on... I don't need to look at another woman... Why would I do that when I have you? But -zombies!- That's a once in a life time deal!
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 1:20:27 AM)
"That's... that's just hilarious, Alex.. Are we going to get paint guns?"
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 1:20:56 AM)
Wouldn't you need real guns for zombies?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 1:21:12 AM)
"Oh pfft... I want to be a zombie before it's over"
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:21:24 AM)
Paint guns won't stop a zombie! THis will be full on life or death combat, needign to survive by wits and strength fo arm! Forget guns... I'm going to hand to hand these things!
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 1:21:52 AM)
"Bah.. no fun.. shamblers are just... too easy hand to hand.. the only thing they have going for them is numbers."
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:21:57 AM)
DOn't worry Jareth... when you get bit... I'll put you down before you try and eat Pan's brains.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 1:22:08 AM)
"Awwwww..."
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 1:23:21 AM)
I can't believe I knew that...
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:24:34 AM)
I can... because you, are the most awesome girlfriend in the entire universe! Especially if I get a zombie apocalypse bachelor party!
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 1:25:22 AM)
::she smirks and looks to Jareth:: I can always assist you in setting up the zombies.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:26:09 AM)
*ALex pumps his fists into the air* Yes! She's gonna do it!
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 1:28:20 AM)
"Feh... i wanted to do the paint guns." Pout.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:29:19 AM)
Do you really want to face me on a paintball field? *he grins*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 1:30:00 AM)
Eyeroll. "No.. but I wanted to shoot things."
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:30:38 AM)
real guns! real zombies! I will even conceede the point on the parkour zombies.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 1:30:39 AM)
I didn't say I was going to do it.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:31:01 AM)
Doesn't setting up the zombies involve making the plague?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 1:31:28 AM)
"Buh... " He was too amused by this whole idea to argue, really he was. He finished his dinner.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 1:31:59 AM)

"No one's making zombie plague.

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 1:35:09 AM)

Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:39:26 AM)
*Alex sighs deeply shakign his head* And I was so... so startign to feel better.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 1:40:00 AM)
"Bah... why do we need a real plague... it's far less dangerous for my friends and family to play at it."
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 1:40:19 AM)
He stuck his tongue out.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:41:08 AM)
Becasue real plague means real zombies and a high probability of people who irritate me becoming zombies, and that leads to satisfactory head stabbing.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 1:41:59 AM)
A smirk... "Well.. I suppose that's hard to argue."
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:42:29 AM)
You are damn right that's hard to argue with! *big grin*

Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:52:07 AM)
*he takes her hand* You are not less than useless. I just... I feel like I let you down every time, and... all I want is to be left alone if not treated civily. I don't even want respect. Just... to be ignored or not treating like... a living weapon.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 1:53:09 AM)
::she squeezes his hand softly:: I know. And I wish they would just leave you alone. But... keep in mind... when you react to their taunts... you add fuel to their fire. You give them a handhold to keep trying to tear you down.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:54:59 AM)
I just... I don't know if I can -not- react... I was raised to respect people even if I didn't agree with them... I jsut... *he sighs* I am trying to do better. I want to make you proud of me.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 1:58:05 AM)
Alex. I -am- proud of you. I'm not upset with you.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 1:59:25 AM)
*he takes her into his arms hearing those words, his defenses are totally down, and he lets all the pain out. Tears fall from his eyes* I don't want to become someone who can't be your husband or Kiera's father. I am -terrified- of being pushed to the point I lose that.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 2:01:43 AM)
I don't want you to, either. ::she brushes her thumb over his tears, wiping them away.:: Shush, love. Nothing has happened yet. You've proven you're stronger than that. And -I- have faith in you... that you are stronger, that you will overcome this. The Dark Father tests you... he must know you are worthy.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 2:04:23 AM)
*he shudders softly as she wipes his tears and whispers* Mine is the power that protects and limits. The strength says no, and no further, and that is enough. I will endeavor to remember my duties to him... but I really want to say that is enough in a way that is ... totally unmistakable.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 2:07:46 AM)
::she kisses his forehead:: We will figure this way out. Together. I won't abandon you to the wolves. We are in this together.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 2:09:17 AM)
That means the world to me, Banphrionsa. The absolute world to me. I... I have never had anyone so willing to back me up, except maybe T.C. *he kisses her temple and is calming from his emotional roller coaster*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 2:12:38 AM)
::she smiles to him:: I do not wish you to worry so... I am worrying for you, love. I am always willing to back you up. We are partners. You know this...
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 2:16:33 AM)
I know. *he smiles back at her* I had a little chat with our daughter tonight. I don't want to worry her, but... I wanted her to know what kind of man her father is. I know deep in my heart, she will grow to be a beautiful, powerful, and respectful woman.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 2:18:35 AM)
::she nods:: We will all make sure of it... she will grow up to know the right way to treat people....
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 2:20:20 AM)
Being your daughter, how could she not? *he smiles warmly to her, taking her hands in his and bringing them to his lips, kissing them softly, trailing his lips along the side of them gently* Even... even when I was some scary stranger... you still treated me like a man.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 2:26:38 AM)
::she smiles:: Because you -are- a man, there is no question of that. I've always known. ::her fingers delicately brush his lips, his jaw, his face. :: She is also your daughter...
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 2:28:36 AM)
Yes, but I sincerely hope she takes more after you than me. I mean... have you seen my grin? *he offers her a goofy grin, leanign into her touch and catches her finger with his mouth as she strokes his face, runnign the tip of his tongue over the pad of her finger softly*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 2:32:40 AM)
::she leans in, kissing him softly, even as he grins:: Yes, I've seen it many times. And I like it... ::she strokes her fingers over him still, caressing him, soothing his worries, his fears, his anger::
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 2:34:05 AM)
She would be better off with your smile. *He is like putty in her hands. She can soothe away the fears and the worries, easing him back into his skin* But I am glad you like my smile. *he reaches out to stroke her face with whisper light touches, breathign deeply, finding that perfect safe place that is his love for her*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 2:39:49 AM)
::she leans in and brushes his lips with a soft kiss, lingering, slowly, smooth against his lips. It was so light, but full of the love she has for him:: She will have a combination... she is us both.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 2:41:35 AM)
*he matches the tenderness, the stillness of that kiss. Alex is the living embodiement of Tao. He is meditation in motion. Serentity in action. But that kiss... in that kiss he finds zen. He finds no mind. Peace, stillness, and emptiness. there is a small little well of perfect calm burried in the center of his soul.*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 2:42:51 AM)
::and she lets him linger in that perfection, drawing it forward, out of him, bringing it to the surface. Even as she helps him to hold it, draw from it, let him feel those sensations surround him, overcome and overwhelm him with its peaceful calm, soothing::
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 2:45:41 AM)
*feeling her touch in that peace... he feels her make no ripples in the peace. It suffuses him, and it;s like he almost goes limp sitting at their table. In his mind she can hear the faintest echo of his voice asking her what this is... what she has done to him to make him feel this. He is slightly confused, as he didn't feel her magic*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 2:47:18 AM)
::reassuring him, her voice is soft, as usual, tender, and the most peaceful, calming tone he's ever heard:: No magic, my love... this is your inner peace. This...is inside you.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 2:49:04 AM)
*A slight ripple across it. Doubt, unable to belive that there was anything this beautiful in him... anything this much like her. His grip on the peace is tenuous, but he regains a bit of the calm* Something this pure... it has to come from you. from the Goddess herself.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 2:52:45 AM)
No, Alex... ::reassuring him, despite the negative connotation of the word. She allowed him in her mind, he can see... no magic to affect his mind, just to allow him into hers, to verify for himself. She hid nothing from him.:: This is inside you... very deep inside. But this. is. you. Embrace it. the Dark Father and the Goddess have shown you what you already possess inside you. Draw on it...
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 2:56:04 AM)
*she can feel him trying to draw upon it, pulling at it, trying the methods he usually uses. But they all cause ripples, disturbances that threat it's tenuous balance He stops letting the ripples calm and still before trying again, and meeting similar results* I... It's so fragile. I almost cant touch it with out destrying it. Am I a destroyer of peace?
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 2:57:54 AM)
No... attract it by -being- peaceful. Be still. Let your mind calm. Let it draw out of you... lure it out, like one lures a little rabbit from its hole. Let it embrace you... do not embrace it. ::very lightly, he can feel her mind, pressing gently, helping him still the ripples, but no more. The touch is gone, and she just waits with him::
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 3:01:08 AM)
*he stills himself, and she can feel how he tries to still himself. He focus on his breathing. He focuses on his heart beat. she can feel his thoughts melting, drifting untill there is nothing but raw consciousness. The tiny little well of still ness grows in him, spreading and filling him very slowly. in his mind she can feel this may be the hardest thing he has ever done*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 3:04:44 AM)
::she remains with him, quiet, supportive. She never leaves his side, but... remains quiet. Letting him do this on his own. Wanting to prove to him that he had this inside him, without her help or guidance. She was patient and calm, the embodiment of the calm Goddess within.::
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 3:08:06 AM)
*the calm, the peace sufuses him fully. she can feel his heart rate slow to a crawl, his blood pressure dropping she can feel his brainwaves diminishing in complexity to a perfect clear bell tone. On the surface of that still water she can see his reflections, his memories drifting coalecing and disapating. He is still and at true peace. she can feel his awareness has turned fully inwards and it jsut sort of... folds around her*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 3:10:30 AM)
::she remains with him, and lets him feel her calming presence there. She lets him sit like that, for a very long period of time, to let him feel and experience it fully, both wonderment at himself, and peace he's fought for so long to have. Gently, she starts to extricate herself, slowly, smoothly, to let him hold onto this peace on his own, to learn to do it without her there::
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 3:14:15 AM)
*he feels her slip from him, and he focus on this stillness, on this peace. once she is outside of him, he has pulled his very being so deep into his core, even his strange dissonant aura is gone. He remains like this for some time. breathing slow and shallow, his heart beating a few times a minute. over time as she watches him, his lips curl very slightly into the most beautifuic smile she has every seen on his face.*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 3:21:06 AM)
::she grins and watches him, pleased, even as she starts to slip from him, carefully, slowly, wanting him to explore this new sense of himself, while monitoring him, to ensure he doesn't slip -too- far::
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 3:23:18 AM)
*after a few hours, he takes one long deep breath, his eyes popping open* What... what was that? *he seems strangely energized, but still very relaxed, like an idling car or something at it's lowest functioning state of operation.*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 3:26:12 AM)
::And... he's alone in the room, Aislinn has lit candles, splaying soft light in the room, a mixture of light and shadow, and she's not in the room with him, the scent of the candles was pleasant, calming::
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 3:27:55 AM)
*finding himself alone there is a moment of concern, but not worry or panic. He moves from candle to candle, extinguishing them with his hands, and reachign out with his senses, feeling for where Aislinn ahs made her way off to*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 3:39:05 AM)
::Aislinn is in the bedroom, his spidey sense tells him so::
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 3:40:30 AM)
*He walks slowly and peacefully through the darkened house, relying on muscle memory to take him to the bedroom. He enters quietly, peering inside before entering fully* Aislinn? *his voice is soft anbd low incase she is asleep.*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 3:42:31 AM)
::she is half-dozing, curled up on her side, his pillow against the length of her body, one creamy thigh sprawled over his pillow, one arm slung over it, even as her long, luxurious auburn hair was spread over the pillows:: Mmm?
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 3:44:17 AM)
*He strips for bed, moving into his position, adjusting the pillows and lettign her leg and arm wrap around him instead of the pillows. His hands move to gently caress her body, letting her feel his love* That was an amazing experience. I still have trouble believign that was in me all along.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 3:49:22 AM)
::she smiles and she moves to wrap around him speaking softly:: It has always been inside you, love... I've been telling you that... I'm pleased that you believe me now. ::her tone was teasing, sweet:;
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 3:53:02 AM)
I am sorry I doubted you. *he smiles back to her, his words honeyed, his mind at peace* I haven't felt anything like that before. Even before the war. I... I know you have helped my growth, but I am surprised I could go to that place on my own.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 3:56:24 AM)
I've always known you could... always. ::she breathes out against him::
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 3:57:47 AM)
You just need to call on that... now... we practice when there are distractions... or at least... next. Not tonight... tonight we rest... and feel it, enjoy it... I want you to feel and enjoy this.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 4:00:16 AM)
*he smiles softly to her* I can feel your pride in me, my love. Almost feels as nice as that stillness. *he nuzzles into her sleepily, rubbing his body against hers gently* And you know I will apply myself to these studies.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 4:03:21 AM)
I know you will, just as you dedicate yourself to improving yourself, to your duties as a Jack... ::she murmured softly, brushing her fingers over his skin, lovingly::
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 4:05:26 AM)
*his fingers caress exploratorily, finding warm and smooth places to touch her delicate body* I like it when I do well. Your fingers are a fantastic reward. *he smiles at her and shifts his body in the bed to bring as much of his skin as he can into contact with hers*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 4:06:35 AM)
::she leans into him, kissing him softly, as she explores his body until they are both spent from the exertion.. ::

::Aislinn's sedan rolled up smoothly into the driveway, as she climbed out and popped the trunk:: I bought Christmas lights, Alex. ::as he's the only one she can see::

....Christmas lights? I wouldn't think you celebrated.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 9:35:59 PM)
*alex ends the Kata resheathing his daggers* Ooo... Christmas lights! *he grins* So, I take it there is some climbing about on the roof to be done?
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 9:36:55 PM)
::she nods:: Yes, my monkey man. ::she grins to him and nods to Izzy:: I don't... technically. But... Alex's family does, you do, Jareth does. I don't see a reason I shouldn't embrace another religion's customs. ::she smiles to Izzy:: Plus, then I get to shop for everyone's Christmas present.
Isabel Ross (Dec 4, 2011 9:37:33 PM)
So long as nobody expects me to be merry.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 9:38:22 PM)
Besides, Christmas coincides pretty closely with the night when the Dark Father is at his most potent. I like to sneak in a little celebration, and it's easier to disguise it that way. *Making his way to Aislinn's sedan* Need help carrying things?
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 9:38:37 PM)
Why was she coming back here? Oh that's right to apologiz e for making an ass of herself and passing out and waking up in Jareth's Bed is why , the neon Pink hair was unleashedonce moe and the rest of her outfit is obsucred by a Russian military greatcoat which well isn't really Pan's usual fashion.. and is something totally new she's gotten during the haitus and she'd sorta ..linger for amomnet as she gathered the interna;l stones to come and be social again.. and so she began the looooooong walk .. tromp tromp tromp.well maybe not long..but ..long eneough from her perspective.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 9:39:27 PM)
Hopefully... a better mood. ::she winks to Isabel, and she starts pulling out the bags and lights, stacking them for Alex:: I do... I bought materials for a wreath.. I'm going to make one. And.. she piles a few bags out.:: Bags in my office, these are your lights to work with, I give you creative license. ::she winks to Alex::
Isabel Ross (Dec 4, 2011 9:40:36 PM)
I've been in a good mood. For me.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 9:41:08 PM)
*Alex gives her a goofy grin* Whatcha wanna bet I can hide a nice pentacle in the light display that makes peoplel think it's the Christmas star? *He starts with the bags destined for her office, wiping the light sheen of sweat off of him before picking up her things and delivering the bags for her office*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 9:43:31 PM)
*Still nowhere to be seen*
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 9:44:57 PM)

Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 9:46:34 PM)

Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 9:47:40 PM)
*With an arm load of bags for Aislinn he turns and smiles at Pan.* Hey you! If I hadn't seen or heard from you I was goign to have a care package delivered to Jareth's room. *he grins goofily, standing there in gym shorts. He was clearly just exercising, and has his daggers belted on. Alex heads into the house depositing the bags in Aislinn's office before coming back out for the Christmaas lights*

*Iz hangs back, letting Alex do all of the hauling*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 9:49:11 PM)
A half dressed Jareth knocks his way down the stairs in a pair of shorts and messy hair, hopping into a proper pair of jeans as he went. "Fucker.. why.. why the hell does he always get me in such a bad mood?"
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 9:50:03 PM)
*calling out to Jareth* Stab in the dark... He's rude and acts like you owe him one? *Not knowing who Jareth speaks of, but making assumptions that could be about half the mag epopulation, really*

::she grins to Alex and Izzy, and then raises a brow, looking to Pandora and she smiles:: Hello, Pandora... How are you?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 9:51:14 PM)

Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 9:57:05 PM)
*Alex looks at the blue lights then sees the colored strings, and seperates them into piles, assesing quantity of lights, verses Aislinn's asthetic sense, verses the fact that as a Six foot something man-boy, he likes christmas lights* Oh... it's a he, that actually narrows it down. So, Craig is saying he knows something we need to do, right?
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 9:57:08 PM)
He is -such- a bloody pain in the arse. ::frowning and giving him his phone back::

"You... told Lyric.. what?"
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 9:59:06 PM)
Can we please discuss my proposed plans for "favors cost limbs"? I enjoy the irony of people who... wait... Lyric? What's the cranky barbie doll have to do with this? *still playing with organizing the boxes of lights*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 9:59:30 PM)
He looks over to Ais.. because he couldn't remember.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 10:00:22 PM)
We are willing to meet with them, and we will ALL comport ourselves as responsible, polite adults. Period. Not just us, them as well.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 10:00:59 PM)
"It's Craig... " He fiddles with the phone.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 10:02:37 PM)
Oh, Craig? Does he want to threaten to beat me up for asking his wife to keep a civil tongue in her mouth again, after she can talk trash about Aislinn? *Alex's voice is dark, and his aura surges*
Isabel Ross (Dec 4, 2011 10:03:25 PM)
*She frowns slightly*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 10:04:04 PM)
And... we're done. That's done. If they want to keep it going, I will be leaving the meeting. I have asked for politeness. I expect civility at the very very minimum. If they want to bring about their childish issues, fine. But I'm not staying to hear them.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 10:05:29 PM)
Can I jsut... wing one as we're leaving? I honestly don't think they are capable of learnign without the application of pain.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 10:06:13 PM)
Up to you. I won't be there.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 10:06:28 PM)
If they can't be bothered to speak or act like adults, then I treat them like children.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 10:07:15 PM)
Twitch.. he flops in a seat, looks over at Pan, and smiles wanly.. ."hey hon... sorry... bad timing is all"
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 10:07:30 PM)
Jareth... why don't you just text him back and say if he wants to meet, we meet now, and he doesn't drag this out if it's so fucking important?
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 10:07:34 PM)
Pan rolled her eyes "You knwo they probably think the same thing about you guys" She says softly and then shrgs " I have a talent for it"
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 10:09:25 PM)
*Pan's words set Alex's aura to surging and his teeth on edge* Yes, but I have never once started a conversation with someone by telling them how they stink like a week long marathon of anal sex after they had been crawling around in the sewers to save someone's life. They can -think- we're the childish ones, but one of these days, they will push me beyond my ability to keep my hand in check and someone will die.
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 10:11:01 PM)
"then stop showing up to the meets" she said WIth a smile "Send somebody even handed and minded" she nods and looks at the all and then at herslef and she spoke "You tried that already..never mind"
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 10:12:15 PM)
The one thing they respect is power, and I am -fast- running out of reasons we shouldn't use it on them.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 10:14:44 PM)
He rolls his eyes at the phone.. grumbled..
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 10:15:05 PM)
"insert Comic book referance " She syas wit a light smile "It's a powder keg Hal one they're wanting struck a light too" she shakes her head "No fall down, go boom It's sensless it's stupid and over all It's generally not worth the bother" pause eyegng Jareth "no matter how good it might make you feel"

*Holding his hand out* Give me the phone. I'll text him back.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 10:17:08 PM)
"I don't think he agrees to those terms.. since his response was 'I'll be in touch' ..." He shrugs.
Isabel Ross (Dec 4, 2011 10:17:32 PM)
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 10:17:53 PM)
Bites his lip.. and shakes his head... Pocketing the phone.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 10:17:59 PM)
Then fuck him, fuck his cabal, and fuck this city. Give me twenty minutes and I will have a team of agents at his front fucking door.

Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 10:21:15 PM)
Let Craig and the technocracy shoot it out, and maybe if we are very lucky, then they will kill eachother, and the rest of us can get some peace and quiet.

*Alex heads into the house to dress. His boots, a pair of rugged cargo pants, and a plain white T-Shirt. He switches his dagger belt to this outfit, and pulls his hair back into a pony tail. After dressing he exits the bedroom with Doctor Steele's jamming device, checkign it's charge.*
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 10:26:17 PM)
As Alex heads inside Pan will softly state "You might wanna knok Alex out or something"
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 10:26:24 PM)
"Oh no.. you're not going anywhere." He scowls at Alex. "Not after this." One hand on his hip. "And not to do what I think you're gonna."

"Getting them caught is a whole lot of bad shit. I have better things to do with my time than spend it running from the technocracy because spoiled brats can't keep their mouths shut."
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 10:29:56 PM)
*PAn spares a glance at Izzy and gives a soft wave her direction and she spoke* Gonna go lend a hand? *pause* Or share my quiet exhasperation?
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 10:31:13 PM)
*Alex is curently... elsewhere. He has a thousand yard stare and is tense as if fighting against the entire weight of reality*
Isabel Ross (Dec 4, 2011 10:31:25 PM)
I don't think I need the headache of dealing with this.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 10:31:36 PM)
Jareth... stands there. Hand on a hip and just watches him silently.
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 10:33:24 PM)
*she sighs softly adn smirks* Hon you're in their group..Thair problems are your problems *pause* and apperntly mine too *a soft smirk* I got no right bein' here sayin' what I just said to any of you *she nods* But -somebody- in there needs a helpin' hand ...even if it's a slap upside the head and a 'quit it' *she nods* you're good people...all of you *she looks abck to the house8 I don't wanna see it get all fucked up
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 10:37:38 PM)
A glance at Aislinn, wondering.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 10:38:21 PM)
::;Aislinn is inside, standing at the kitchen's French doors. Her eyes are focused on Alex, a similar far-off look, her face impassive, her stance unreadable::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 10:38:47 PM)
An annoyed look passes his features, and he looks back at Alex.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 10:39:05 PM)
::And Aislinn takes a step back, as though pushed, but remains upright::
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 10:40:05 PM)
*Alex's open eyes are distan, unseeing, a blood vessel has popped in the right eye, his entire body flinching at the same moment Ais seems to be pushed. then a single tear leaves his left eye. the tension in his body begins to subside*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 10:40:09 PM)
Something in chinese, he turns around, walks out the front door, and closes it with a gentle click.

Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 10:43:52 PM)
*alex drops to his knees, like a pupet with the strings cut as he looks someplace not here*
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 10:44:37 PM)
*as Izy takes awander and Pan is left outside with Jareth and she spoke up* Thought your feet were cold?
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 10:45:03 PM)
He's trudging off towards the back... "Yeah.. so?"
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 10:46:02 PM)
"don't make me tickle you" she says it with a soft sigh as she started to follow him "I'll totally do it"
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 10:47:09 PM)
"Don't. I'm not in the mood." He goes through the gate, stops to let her through if she wanted.
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 10:49:52 PM)
She sighs softly and kinda follows him as she spoke "I know" pause "Since when has that stopped me?" she smirked a bit "I only came to say hi and hnag out , you know"
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 10:51:08 PM)
"Yeah, well... I'm sorry. Aren't you glad you're not stuck dating me?" Hey look, there's gardens and stuff out here... and is that a henhouse? Yeah. Yeah it is.
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 10:53:32 PM)
Pan gave a little smirk and she spoke "That wasn't my idea.." she siad softly follwoing him "and you're sill my friend Jar so I still worry..about all of yas"
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 10:56:50 PM)
"I know it wasn't." He stops at the Henhouse, opens the door and peers in. Reaching in long enough to pull out the fold up chair and closes the door again. "Don't worry chickies, I just need to think." He sets the chair up and sits down on the ramp before running a hand through his hair. "I can't tell you not to worry about me... Goddess knows I'm a bit of a loon."
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 10:58:08 PM)
"You think any one of us sane?" she said with asoft smirk "We'ew all alittle crazy" she smiels"i think that'spart of our charm"
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 10:59:31 PM)
"Yeah.. crazy... " Mumbled with a sigh, muttering something else in chinese.
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 11:03:17 PM)
Pan frowns a little and she spoke softly as she sat down on the gorund regardless of the cold ,c hin resting in the palm of her hands*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 11:03:58 PM)
::the rooster is eyeing Jareth, as though wondering where he can claw Jareth and it'll hurt the most::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 11:07:22 PM)
And Jareth is sitting there.. not even noticing. Trying to get his head on straight.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 11:11:13 PM)
After a few moments a hand came up to give Pan's shoulder a squeeze.
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 11:12:59 PM)
*She looked up and she smiled at him as she spoke softly* You wanna go inside and Poke Ais and Alex orsomethin ' *she said softly* People need to smile *she nods*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 11:13:46 PM)
"Go right ahead, Pan... I.. just.. need to chill before I go back in."
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 11:14:36 PM)
::and.... ROOSTER ATTACK! With a squawk! the rooster jumped at Jareth! claws out and trying to scratch up whatever part of the distracted Jareth it could reach::
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 11:15:07 PM)
*she nods a little and then Here comes the rooster and Pan jmps backwards ..falling on her arse as it goes* FUCK ME!
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 11:16:39 PM)
"GYEAH!" Jareth had not been watching the bird, seriously.. it was on him before he noticed it was coming.. and his immediate instinct was th bat it away.. "Dammit! Bird! I'mma wring your scrawny lil neck.." Oh he didn't actually mean it, but it sounded good!
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 11:16:48 PM)
to*
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 11:17:33 PM)
*Pan watched with a quiet blink and she had to laugh*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 11:20:36 PM)
::SQUAWK! SQUAWK! BOK BOK BOK! Slashing claw marks on Jareth's forearms and hands, the bird was relentless, angry at Jareth for upsetting his ladies for their eggs daily, and he pecked a little bit, backing off after a bit, clucking irritatedly to himself::
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 11:22:41 PM)
*Alex seems to come back from wherever he was, waking on the floor of the living room pushing himself to his feet. He turns his head and looks at Aislinn. Alex is very disapointed with himself* I... I should... I shoudl get back to work clearing the sewers. Penance.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 11:22:59 PM)
"FUCKER! OW! You sonnuvabitch!" The Rooster just got whacked a time or two, every time it came back.. and when it backed off finally he was mad.. "That's IT.. you little twerp! COME HERE" The fox.. did what foxes usually did.. Went after the rooster. Trying to catch him.. Snarling at the whole thing.
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 11:24:13 PM)
*Pan of course felt herslef watching all this as she slowly stoo dand turned towards the house...Lett heFox have his chase...She moved to go speak with the lady or Alex..or whoever would..waskinda rude to not to.. you know?*
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 11:24:23 PM)
::and the rooster SQUAWKED and went running, bokking and squalling, as he did::
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 11:24:59 PM)
::and Aislinn looked to Alex.:: No. Night off... I insist, love. ::said quietly::
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 11:26:07 PM)
And.. he chased him around the henhouse, continuing to yell back at the bird. Shaking a bloody fist and showing teeth as he skampered after it.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 11:26:40 PM)
::the rooster was quick... having dealt with this particular foe before, clucking, bokking, and squawking his little head off::
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 11:26:42 PM)
Instead of protecting people, I was going to lead our enemies to their doorstep and watch the fireworks with popcorn and beer. Long, difficult, and dangerous pennance seems to be in order, but.. *he bows his head to her revereantly* But I abide by my Banphrionsa's wishes.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 11:27:24 PM)
::she looks to him:: I can't do that...every time, Alex. You must learn to control it, to do it yourself. You -have- to.
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 11:28:17 PM)
*Pan worked around the gate to the front door and gave some knocks in quiet sucsession..waskinda an awkward thing ..to be welcome.. but to not be part of the gang..Weird feeling*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 11:29:23 PM)
*And no doubt ducking under the henhouse everytime he got close... eventually. He stops dead, snarling.. and leans on the henhouse. That's it.. if Aislinn could cheat, so could he. He stepped back a pace or two.. muttering, and went through the forms of tai chi, as if to pull...
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 11:29:43 PM)
I am trying, Aislinn... but I am weary... and twice a day I seem to have people who want to kick the crap out of me, then shame me into saving them. I... *his shoulders are slumped* I am at the limits of my strength, Banphrionsa. There is no rest for me, it seems, and what rest I take only compounds my duties.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 11:31:14 PM)
(Awareness if anyone cares. *nodnod*)
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 11:31:53 PM)
Then you must learn to flow. Let it flow through you, their words... are -words-. They. Do. Not. Matter. Your center -must- hold. And no. You are not accurate. Your strength lies deep within, I have seen it, as have you. I do not accept that you have reached your limits.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 11:32:45 PM)
And reality warped. The poor rooster.. one moment safely under the henhouse was suddenly in his hands and held in something of an iron grip on it's upper wings. claws out in the air away from here. "Gotcha."
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 11:33:12 PM)
*Pan would after the knock peek on inside and look about letting her voice acrry asshe spoke.. an ill timed if kinda cute intonement of her presense* Hello? I'm not gonna wlak in on you guys naked am I?
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 11:34:26 PM)
*Alex... celarly has doubts about his own strength, and he looks up to Aislinn, with resolve in his eyes* I will endeavour to do better. *he turns to Pan* Like that would honestly stop you?
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 11:35:31 PM)
*her voice echos * I'd think about it first?
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 11:37:52 PM)
You would think about stopping if I were naked... *a little bit of humor returning to his voice, his inner peace is fragile, but there.*
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 11:38:47 PM)
"Depends if you had The Hammer andCirclet on or not..God, Bod" soehow..Alex might get the impression he won't live -that- down for a bit
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 11:40:36 PM)
*Alex blushes deeply at that, and settign the jamming device down as he moves to Aislinn's side, giving her a gentle hug* They kept the hammer. It was a real sledge they just spray painted for the shoot.
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 11:41:30 PM)
::the rooster squawked as it had... no effing clue what had happened to it. Another squawk, but it was clear it was caught and at his mercy, Aislinn, just giggled as she looked to him:: I see..
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 11:42:35 PM)
She asked what I had been doing... I showed her the cover art. It was what I had been doing. *he shakes his head, embarassment trumping just about everything at the moment* I should have asked for pants.
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 11:42:56 PM)
*she would ebventually appear looking at the two* There was a rooster it was angry I fled *she nods*
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 11:43:23 PM)
Did jareth try and take his tail feathers again?
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 11:43:45 PM)
Mmm, yes, you should've asked for pants.. nice, tight pants.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 11:43:50 PM)
He walks aorund the henhouse, holding the rooster out in front of him. Sits on the ramp, wedges the poor guy between his knees. "Alright." Neck grab, and a quick tailfeather pluck. "Just so we're clear. Everytime you do that. You lose two of these." Pluck! Ow. "Now I totally get it, you're the protector.. but I live here too. So you're gonna have to live with me."
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 11:44:21 PM)
::Rooster squawks some more, fussing at Jareth::
Aislinn Connelly (Dec 4, 2011 11:44:31 PM)
(brb, need to put muffins in oven)
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 11:45:43 PM)
*Alex blushes more as Aislinn makes the comment about the tight pants, and it's amazing, given the old guy's age how much he can look like a teenager at times.*
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Dec 4, 2011 11:46:10 PM)
And... that was that. When he let the bird go, he didn't just let it go, he tossed it across the yard, brushed his bloody self off, and hissed at the bird, sticking the feathers jauntily in his hair. A particularly feral look .
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 11:46:58 PM)
*pan just smield quiely at these comments with a happy chuckle* it''s like I never left
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 11:53:07 PM)
*Alex looks up to pan, his arms still around Aislinn as his lips brush her temple* Well, that just means you should hang out more often.
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 11:55:01 PM)
*She smiels softly and chuckles8 I think I need a membership card for that *she teases*
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 11:55:18 PM)
I didn't have one untill a week ago.
Alex Steele (Dec 4, 2011 11:55:28 PM)
That didn't keep me away in the least. *he grins*
Pandora Freeman (Dec 4, 2011 11:56:42 PM)
*that gets a laugh and a chuckle* Good point, well made
